Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

“I heard that the car performance is very bad.”

Oh Kyung-deok, chief of staff at Daeyang, who is now almost on his 60th birthday, asked the chairman’s eldest son.

“I’m going to die. It’s down 20% compared to last year. Whether domestic or overseas, it’s all a problem.”

“It is because the criticism of public opinion is not going away. Since last year, the image of the Daeyang Group has fallen to the worst ever. The former is said to be more. The president is very concerned.”

“under. driving me crazy. Sunggyu What are we to do with that child? If I hadn’t eaten with my son’s fiancée, who was wondering if it was Kang Yu-jin, wouldn’t it have been this way?”

“It must have been the cause. Who would have known that he would end up like that?”

Oh Kyung-duk did not hide his displeasure.

“A trillion dollars? under. driving me crazy. I can’t sleep these days. I don’t know if he really has a trillion dollars, but if he thinks he’s attacking us with it, there’s no way he’s doing anything.”

“The trillion dollar story would be a myth. I think even 1/10 of that would be difficult on our part.”

“Is that so? Anyway, isn’t it true that the kid has 100 trillion won in cash? With that money, the Daeyang Group accident remains, right?”

The Korean stock market also fell by more than 10% due to the Brexit crisis and then returned to its original position as time passed, but Daeyang Group did not.

It was no secret that Kang Yoo-jin, who had a huge amount of money, was already targeting the Daeyang Group, and the market’s reaction was not good as the performance was gradually declining.

Shares of all affiliates of the Daeyang Group have fallen by 30% compared to two years ago, showing no sign of rising.

“It’s not that easy. When an M&A issue arises, the stock price tends to rise. Anyway, it must have been embarrassing.”

“I wish I could sell some in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, but how difficult is it? The image has also been ruined too much there. I want… … If we did something wrong, we’d try to use our hands anyway, because of that bastard, Sunggyu. ha… … .”

The president of Daeyang Motors constantly resented his nephew.

“As Yujin Kang’s reputation rises, the image of our Daeyang Group is declining. Furthermore, if you check the internet statistics of each country, you can detect that bad reviews about the Daeyang Group are systematically distributed everywhere. It seems that Kang Yu-jin is still working on it.”

“You poor bastard. Are you really going to take down our entire group?”

“Honestly, it is difficult to interpret other than that.”

“How many projects have you gone through because of that child? Max Convenience Store, Samho Card, Daepoong Construction… … There are only three large ones. You haven’t been able to do anything this year. Because he’s scared.”

“It is giving strength to competitors to the extent that it is a must in the new business area of the Daeyang Group.”

The face of the president’s secretary-general was also full of concern.

Actually, that’s the biggest problem. Even if the image of a company can be reconsidered at any time and in a different way, there is nothing to do with all new businesses being blocked.

Just as Eugene, who has huge cash, puts a small amount of cash on a competitor of the Daeyang Group, had to give up the business.

Moreover, in recent years, the existing business fields have been putting pressure on each other by joining forces with each other.

“I’d rather have the heavy industry removed, but I’d like to end it at this point.”

“Never say that in front of the president.”

“know. know. It’s just saying.”

“Anyway, it is true that some special measures are needed company-wide.”

“It’s a special measure… … It doesn’t mean anything if I can’t make the relationship with Kang Yu-jin’s child even a little bit favorable in any way.”

“That’s right.”

“Is that the only way? Should I go down?”

The president’s henchman came to visit the eldest son for a special purpose.

“I would like to replace the president of Heavy Industry and convince him to the extent that Master Seong-gyu is convicted.”

“Okay, Geun-soo, that guy must be pretty discouraged. If he leaves the company, and his favorite son goes to jail.”

The president of the automobile company knows that the words of the chairman’s chief of staff are never personal opinions. In any case, he is merely representing his father’s words. So, it means that the father has already made a certain decision.

In fact, it seemed to make me laugh a little. Even so, the third younger brother was a tougher opponent than the second, but it was only a matter of time before he could get the power if he was this sloppy.

That is probably why Chief Secretary Oh came to see him first. It is true that the group’s situation is not good, but the day the Daeyang Group will be acquired is not far off.

“So, I think it would be better for the brothers to come together first, comfort the president of Heavy Industry, and show him that he is stepping down.”

“okay… … Anyway, okay. Let me discuss it with you.”

It seems to keep coming out of laughter.

The great power is in front of you.

That was then. The door to the boss’s office opened and someone walked in.

“president. It’s a big deal.”

“What’s up? Didn’t I tell you not to interfere with important conversations?”

“I think you should know now. The news says that Han Chae-ah was attacked.”

“Han Chae-ah? That crazy b*tch?”

“yes. It is said that he was attacked by a gangster near the Wonju Express Bus Terminal and stabbed with a weapon.”

“what? Who would do that?”

“I don’t know yet. But things seem to be going badly. There are already rumors circulating all over the world that the Daeyang Group instigated terrorism.”

“crazy! Wasn’t that the real Sunggyu that madman did?”

The car president turned to the chief of staff and said.

“I hope so. Master Seong-gyu is also not a thoughtless person. At a time when the sentencing hearing is only a few days away, you can’t be unaware that if this happens, it will certainly have a detrimental effect.”

“Then who are you?”

The car owner shouted evilly.

“Now, rather than finding out who the killer is, we need to change public opinion right now. This will have a huge negative impact on the Ocean Group.”

“Yeah, yes. Do something! Secretary Yoon! didn’t you hear Hurry up and do something!”

“Yes, four!”

The incident in which Kang Yu-jin’s ex-fiancee was assassinated had a huge impact.

Because the perpetrator was never caught, the case aroused even more public interest.

“Do not rest and post! okay. I’ll double you this time. Don’t worry.”

At that time, a hectic time was passing in Sejong PR.

Cheol-woo was mobilizing all relevant companies and instructing them to widely post posts related to the incident with the Daeyang Group.

Through workshops in the Philippines and Vietnam, the incident was spread using community sites and various social media sites not only in Korea but also around the world, and posts and comments criticizing the Daeyang Group were spreading in huge numbers.

And the stock market responded right away.

A few hours after the incident was reported, a VI was triggered in Daeyang Group’s main affiliate stock.

The culprit was not caught for several days, and the Korean media was covered with the news.

The Daeyang Group, who was suddenly hit by hot water, was drowning in the chaos, struggling to find a way to turn the situation around without fully understanding the situation.

There was nothing bad about Eugene right now.

The work of dropping the image of the Daeyang Group through the promotion of Sejong went smoothly, and now there is no need to do any such work, and the image of the Daeyang has completely fallen to the floor.

Then, an article appeared that said Ryu Geun-soo, president of Daeyang Heavy Industries, was resigning.

It seems that he is most responsible for the current situation.

But Eugene was not satisfied with that. The pain Eugene and his family suffered in the past life was not that much.

“I received a request for an interview from the CEO of KF Entertainment, Han Jeong-ah.”

Then one day, I got a call from an unexpected person.

KF Entertainment is an entertainment affiliate of the Cheil Group, the largest Korean publicly recognized group.

“Interview?”

“yes. I’m staying in LA right now, but I’m also going to visit New York, so if I have time, I’d like to see you.”

“Well… … Don’t do that. Let Monica take care of the time.”

Eugene wondered if she was coming to New York for something else, or if the meeting with Eugene was the purpose itself.

Two days later, the CEO of KF Entertainment visited Eugene’s office.

Judging from the fact that they urgently wanted a seat there, it must have been something urgent.

“This is Han Jeong-ah.”

A woman with a graceful face, flowing with dignity, greeted me first.

“Nice to meet you. This is Yoojin Kang. You must be tired of flying all the way to New York.”

Eugene heard that Han Jeong-ah flew from LA to New York and visited without a break.

“it’s okay. It’s not like Eugene’s 747, but even the best business jet is quite comfortable.”

She replied jokingly.

Other large companies in Korea have yet to be conscious of the public’s eyes and purchase private planes, but Cheil Group was different.

It has a name value as Korea’s largest group, and thanks to its affiliates who have risen to the top in the world, buying a private plane was not enough to buy a glance.

Perhaps that’s why Cheil Group operates as many as four dedicated planes.

One of them is known as the 737, just below the 747.

Eugene predicts that if the plane that Han Jeong-ah, the daughter of the chairman, would have been on, it would be a 737.

“I don’t know if it’s that comfortable because the plane I ordered hasn’t arrived yet. If it’s the Cheil Group’s business jet, I’d like to try it.”

“If you ever need anything, please feel free to contact me. I will prepare in advance. Instead, when a 747 comes out, I’ll give you a ride too.”

She smiled and said a favor.

“That sounds like a good idea.”

Eugene also has no intention of forming a bad relationship with Cheil Group. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but for now, in Korea, it was enough to pretend to be with the Daeyang Group.

“It’s a nice office. If I work in a place overlooking Central Park, my efficiency will increase greatly.”

“It’s probably the coolest view point in Manhattan.”

“I want to work in such a wonderful office.”

“An office overlooking Central Park is good, but an office with a view of the Han River can’t be worse than that, right?”

Han Jeong-ah smiled at Eugene’s words.

“It does. But do you think you know our company well?”

“It is a company that dominates the entertainment industry in Korea, so can you not know?”

“Thank you for looking at me that way. But it’s nothing compared to Eugene’s fame. I was really surprised when I went to Hollywood this time. He really has a huge influence there.”

She was slowly trying to reveal the purpose of her arrival.

“I don’t know how much it is. I have a lot of friends there.”

“Did you say that all of the successful films released this year were invested by Eugene?”

“I’ve been investing a lot in the film industry since last year. I am very interested in movies.”

“Even so, the pioneering vision was not usually good. Almost 90% of the films were said to have been successful at the box office, but Eugene seems to have a great foresight not only in investment but also in the film industry.”

“I was lucky.”

“But you are very greedy.”

Han Jeong-ah said, raising her eyebrows slightly.

“You seem to have preempted the Korean distribution rights for movies that will be released from the end of this year.”

That was Eugene’s investment condition.

If it was the original, it would have been impossible, but instead, it suffered a small loss in recovering the investment.

It’s money anyway, so he could earn enough elsewhere, so Eugene was willing to pay the price.

“haha. Actually, I’m thinking of starting a movie distribution business in Korea. I am very interested in movies.”

“Fantastic Beasts Dictionary, La La Land… … Except for Marvel and Star Wars, they took the lead in all important movies.”

Marvel and Star Wars are franchises prized by Disney as cash cows, so it was not easy for Eugene to intervene.

Although we invested in those films to some extent, we did not win a monopoly right in the Korean market. Getting that far would be difficult without buying Disney.

In the case of Star Wars, it wasn’t really disappointing. Unlike in the US market, Star Wars in Korea is just one of those ordinary blockbuster movies.

Rather, the Marvel side is much more valuable. Because of this, Eugene continued to negotiate for exclusive rights to the Marvel films.

I think I’m thinking of taking over Disney Korea. It won’t be easy, but Eugene has plenty of money.

“If distribution is made in Korea, after all, the selection of the theater is also decided by Eugene, right?”

That is why she hurriedly flew from LA to New York.

Although Eugene does not have distribution rights in the Korean market for the movies that have been released so far, things change from Christmas, the most important season.

Now, a box-office movie made in Hollywood cannot go to theaters without Eugene’s hands.

It would be an embarrassing situation for KF Entertainment, which dominated the Korean entertainment industry with the vertical integration of the film industry from production, distribution, and theater.

Negotiations with Eugene were necessary to secure a movie to be placed in theaters during the Christmas season, which was just a few months away.

And in order to negotiate with Eugene, who has now become the world’s richest person, the right person had to move.

This was the reason why the daughter of the president of Cheil Group came to this place in a hurry.

“We are currently negotiating the acquisition of Cinema First. ah! Was this a secret?”

Eugene smiled slyly and announced her intention to acquire the third largest multiplex company in Korea.
