Chapter 931: Big Fish (2) – Part 2
President Song said, “Understood, sir. Our fund managers will certainly trust your words in making an investment decision.”
“You said that they don’t even trust the rumors from Yeouido stock street, but will they take my words?”
“Mr. Chairman, we believe that business owners are the ones who have the highest quality and the most useful information.”
“Is that right?”
“Our workers got together last time for dinner. One of the new fund managers— you know the tall guy who graduated from Stanford University— said at that time that we can’t trust the rumors out of Yeouido stock street because those rumors often turned out to be false; however, business owners especially chairmen usually have access to a lot of information that ordinary people can’t have. So, he was saying that the information coming from owner chairmen are the most reliable ones.”
“Well, I guess he was talking about the chairmen of a conglomerate company. But, I am just a chairman with a few small companies.”
“That’s not true, sir. You are the master in this field, sir. I was amazed when you made profits with Dyeon Korea’s stock last time. Even though we could form a group of 100 most intelligent and educated people who graduated from the top university and who had work experience in global investment banking companies like myself, we won’t be able to beat you, sir. Well, I should go back to work now to tell my workers to purchase Dyeon Korea’s stock.”
“Oh, I have one more thing to let you know about before you leave. GH Mobile is providing A Electronics with some products now. And, I’ve noticed that the volume of their product order has noticeably increased recently. You might want to pay attention to this company’s stock. Ask your workers too. Since it’s our client company, I’m interested in changes in that company.”
“Yes, sir.”
When Gun-Ho purchased A Electronics Group’s stock that morning— 400 billion worth of them to be exact—, President Son came to Gun-Ho’s office.
“My fund managers sold all of their stock and purchased Dyeon Korea’s stock instead right after I told them that it was Mr. Chairman’s idea. The fund that we can use is only 10 billion won, and the investment is not from an individual, but we are a legal entity, so I believe that we don’t have to worry about inside information thing.”
“Hmm, really? Well, if Dyeon Korea’s stock price doesn’t go up, I will be embarrassed.”
“You don’t have to think that way, sir. We say that stock market fluctuations are within God’s territory, not human being’s.”
“Did you have a chance to take a look at what is going on with A Electronics?”
“Actually, our fund managers were monitoring that particular stock for some time now. According to them, when a large cap stock makes a big move like this without any rumors from Yeouido stock street, most likely there is a big deal going on.”
“If that’s true, we should buy their stock too. What do you think?”
“A big deal can be broken, sir. For example, an acquisition deal is going on, or an innovative huge project is about to implement, or it could be a huge drop in crude oil prices, etc. We just don’t know which big deal is involved in the current situation.”
“Hmm.”
“The conclusion is that it’s not a bad idea to purchase the stock at this point. Its trading volume is increasing and the chart supports it. We can buy some of this stock. But if the global market indices are bad, this stock can be affected. So, the most attractive stock, for now, is Dyeon Korea. Its market capitalization is not very high, so it is very possible to see a huge increase in its price. Of course, the opposing scenario is very possible as well.”
“Hmm.”
“To be safe, we can get into A Electronics’ stock trading now. As long as we don’t become greedy in investing in that stock, we will be able to make more profits than making interest income by putting the same amount of funds in a bank.”
Gun-Ho grinned.
‘Well, you are absolutely right, President Son. I would give you the score of 90 out of 100 even though I can’t give you the full 100.’
Gun-Ho said as he nodded his head, “I think you are right.”
“Well, since we finished buying Dyeon Korea’s stock, I will take my workers outside to have some fresh air now.”
“Alright. Please go ahead.”
After the asset management company’s President Son left the office, Gun-Ho started buying A Electronics’ Group’s stock aggressively.
‘I shouldn’t miss the opportunity to catch a big fish!’
Eventually, Gun-Ho could manage to buy A Electronics’ stock worth of 600 billion won within 3 days. Even though 600 billion won was a lot of money, since A Electronics Group’s stock was a large cap stock, and it only took 3 days for him to spend them all to buy its stock.
“I spent 600 billion won out of 670 billion won. That’s all I had. Now, all I can do is to pray.”
Big caps rarely hit lower limits even though the stock’s trend was downward. For this reason, Gun-Ho didn’t feel anxious about losing all of his 600 billion won.
After spending extensive hours in front of his computer for the past 3 days, Gun-Ho’s eyes became blurry. He bought and put Hainoon— eye drops— in his eyes to ease the symptom. When he was blinking his eyes after applying the eye drops, GH Media’s Mr. Yoshitaka Matsui entered Gun-Ho’s office.
“Hi, Mr. Yoshitaka Matsui.”
“I just received a call from Segawa Joonkko from the private bar in Shinjuku City, sir.”
“You mean Mama San?”
“Yes, sir. She wanted to tell you that she thanks you for your help, Mr. Chairman.”
“Really?”
“Mori Aikko will be starring again in a Chinese movie— Wo Yingxiong. Segawa Joonkko is very happy about it and also feeling grateful. Moreover, she’s going to receive 500,000 dollars.”
“Well, Mori Aikko is popular now, and that’s how she is receiving that much pay. Neither of them doesn’t have to thank me for it.”
“Segawa Joonkko believes that all of these could happen because of you, Mr. Chairman Goo. And, I agree with her.”
“Well, I didn’t really do anything.”
“Mama San is planning to let Mori Aikko go by the end of this year. So, she can independently make her own money. Usually, Mama San keeps her geishas until they reach 30 years old, but Mori Aikko is exceptional. She has made more than enough money for Mama San to retrieve her fund that was invested in raising Mori Aikko. So, she decided to let her go earlier.”
“What is going to happen to Mori Aikko then?”
“Once she is no longer under Mama San’s umbrella, whatever she makes will be hers like 100%. Everything that she earns from then will straight go to her personal bank account. It’s like a freelancer.”
Gun-Ho looked at his calendar.
“There are still 6 days left before Party Leader Jin-Woo Lee’s special lecture in Gwangju City. I think I should go and see Mori Aikko quietly.”
Gun-Ho made a flight reservation online for tomorrow right away heading to Tokyo, Japan. And, he let Mori Aikko know that he would be visiting her tomorrow.
As he decided to see Mori Aikko in Tokyo, Sang-Min’s face popped in her head. His baby boy’s smiley face crossed his mind. His tiny hand often grabbed Gun-Ho’s tie while he was holding the child in his arms.
“I feel sorry for Young-Eun that I will go on a trip to see another woman, but I feel sorry for my baby boy— Sang-Min— for some reason.”
Gun-Ho decided to restrain his urge and desire to see Mori Aikko. But, since he already told Mori Aikko that he would be there with her tomorrow, he had to go to Tokyo tomorrow. He just couldn’t get rid of the image of Mori Aikko from his head, with her fair skin and full lips. Young-Eun’s body was changed after she gave birth to Sang-Min. She gained some weight too. Gun-Ho missed Mori Aikko’s young body and skin and her small waist. It was really hard for Gun-Ho to suppress his urge to see Mori Aikko.
