Episode 154: The Owner of the Building Above the Creator (3)

“… Did I have a building there?”

The moment I finished speaking.

person in front of you. The face of the man who identified himself as Park Geun-young hardened.

Just before.

‘No, so you want to meet the CEO instead of the staff? Why do you keep saying no?’

‘Huh, as I just said, the CEO is not present. If you tell me your business, I will contact you later... .'

Even when I found a commotion at the academy desk and brought him to the principal's office.

'CEO, wouldn't it be better for you to purchase the building I own from your point of view as well? Because the operation of the academy will be smooth if all floors 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used. So, if you sign a contract right now, you will receive only 20% more than the current market price.’

His face was full of confidence.

But now it's just.

‘It’s just the expression on your face that you fell off a cliff.’

Looking at his face, it was a face that I had never dreamed of coming out of my mouth.

‘Well, I thought you would at least remember the name.’

In the meantime, I have purchased a total of 7 large academy buildings in Daechi-dong.

In addition, if you add up all the small items for sale, more than a dozen buildings were purchased.

If it was originally, there were a number of properties that could not be purchased with 14 billion won or so.

‘I didn’t expect interest rates to be so low.’

Low interest rates and low real estate prices. The moment I saw it, I was blown away.

So, let's say Park Geun-young proudly said, "The third floor of the Gundo Building." To me, it's just one of many, many buildings. It was not a place that had to be taken care of.

‘It’s a sale anyway, because the working-level staff have taken care of it.’

However, as I slowly traced my memory, I thought I knew where the building Park Geun-young was talking about.

‘Hmm… .'

Not long ago, when the hermit crab franchise business was on track, it was a time when he was earnestly trying to purchase a private academy.

‘Actually, only that floor was owned by a different person. In the case of the former academy, it seems that only that floor was rented... This time, I endured that I would not be able to rent or sell... .'

Because I remembered that the name of the building that came out of Lee Ah-rin's mouth was similar to the one Park Geun-young said.

‘Now that I see, this person was that person.’

I opened my mouth to look at him with a bewildered expression on his face.

“Oh, now I remember. Hermit Crab Academy Building 5. So that's probably where the Thermopylae Academy used to be, right? Why was he famous for his Spartan lectures?”

OK.

"that… Yes. You remember too! Haha, it's hard to forget that big building. You seem to be very busy these days.”

Park Geun-young, who has managed to regain her new color, is greeted with an awkward smile.

Sweat was pouring down from his face like rain from where he had just shouted 20% in front of me.

But even then, seeing the greed in his eyes that looked at me, it seemed that he had not yet given up his hopes for trading.

of course.

“But, I remember hearing from the staff that I clearly refused to sell. Why are you doing this now?”

I had no intention of meeting those expectations.

In fact, if he had just expressed his intention to sell me in a normal way, I would have accepted the offer quite positively.

Since the real estate market price in Daechi-dong is significantly lower now than in the past, even if it was 20% more, it would be the same as buying the price before the sale price fell.

But.

‘… Huh, so I'm still asking if you're willing to trade every day... It must be a little difficult.’The last time Irene's mouth came out of dissatisfaction.

‘Never accept any calls from over there.’

I have already placed my disposition on him. It was because I wasn't generous enough to accept the suggestion of someone who tried to trick me with a smile.

‘Once you look at it, you’ll want to bite it without limit.’

As I said before, the number of buildings I bought this time is 7 in total, considering only the large buildings. However, the number of owners more than doubled.

And among them, there were a lot of people who tried outrageous tricks like Park Geun-young in front of me.

But who among them succeeded in stealing?

zero (0).

Not one of them sold the building to me for more than the market price.

Because the way I reacted to their bullying was unbearable for them.

Actually, my response method was simple.

Whether they're doing it or devising another way, it's just.

‘What you do.’

Well, these are the people who tried to put ‘Nuntangi’ on me.

no why me

Since I was not the first to set foot in Daechi-dong, and there was already a strong forward base called Daechi Branch, there was no reason to purchase the building until I had to spend too much money.

In the first place, what I needed was not the building itself, but a 'space' that could accommodate students.

Because of this, I refuse to make any contact with people who seem to be trying to rip me off.

After purchasing the surrounding properties at the market price or at a price slightly higher than the market price, it was made clear to the surrounding brokers that they would not do any business with the owner of the property.

So at first.

‘Hey, let’s see how long we can hold out.’

People who snorted will go later.

'I… Can't the boss over there have a meal? .'

It has been a sign of surrender through intermediaries.

‘Because dot damage is more terrifying than the original one-shot damage.’

Of course, he didn't just accept the surrender.

'I'll just sell it... Let's just hit the original generation... .'

‘5% down.’

‘No, don’t you know that the price is really cheap right now?’

‘Then do you have it and sell it at that price? 10% down.’

‘Hey, is the deal a joke? I'd rather not sell this... .'

'follow your heart. 15% down.’

Those who surrender after resisting intrinsically need that much 'learning'. Rather, they bought the building at a price lower than the current market price.

'It's a situation where it won't sell even if it's marketed anyway.'

Well, it wasn't that there weren't people who were still holding on.

‘It will be sorted out soon.’

I looked at Park Geun-hyung, who was rolling his eyes here and there.

Then I asked him.

“Is there no reason?”

Then he started to open his mouth in a hurry, who was sweating profusely.

“Ah, that was originally my son… No, it was because my son said he was going to do business there... Thinking back on it, I feel so sorry for hermit crab academy... .”

… Even the dog couldn't believe it.

If that was the case in the first place, we would have signed a contract when we contacted you.

However.

“It was.”

First, accept the word.

Even if he was close to a 'son-boy', he was a customer no matter what.

OK.

“Haha, you understand.”

Park Geun-young's face brightens as if she misunderstood something.

even.

"Yes. So, make a sale right now... If 20% is difficult, how can I get to 15%? .”

From his mouth again the story of the sale comes out.

I smiled and opened his mouth.

"Fine."

Hearing my words, he tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“What do you mean… ?”

“I’m fine, so I can just run my son’s business.”

"Yes?"

“I was still looking for a building that could be used as a warehouse, but now that this is the case, I will just use the fourth floor of that building as a warehouse.”

In an instant, Park Geun-young's face hardened.

“… … .”

“Once you have finished speaking, I will stand up. I have a lot of work to do.”

I rushed in without giving him time to continue thinking.

OK.

"uh… CEO! Wait! I have something to say.”

Park Geun-young caught me in an urgent voice.

* * *

after a while.

“Does it look good?”

Someone's voice came from behind.

When I turned his head slightly, Eunsol with a soft smile was approaching me.

I looked at Eunsol and opened my mouth.

“Yeah, well, through words.”

Then she smiles softly, looks at me and shakes her head.

“You didn’t look like that, did you? I heard what he said at the desk when I came in earlier.”

Ah… Somehow, I heard that Park Geun-young's voice was loud earlier, but Eun-sol seemed to have heard the noise as well.

OK.

‘… I’ll just sell it at the current market price.’

The face of Park Geun-young, who had declared surrender with a sad expression, came to mind.

In fact, it was common to see people like Park Geun-young.

‘The owner of the building above the creator’

As much as it is possible to live quite comfortably in Seoul even if you have only one land the size of the palm of your hand. In a large commercial district called Daechi-dong, even if it was only one floor, it was easy for them to feel that the building itself was a great strength.

So I also had to always be on the lookout not to change like them.because.

‘Because there was more money coming in than I thought.’

Even though the expanded academies had not yet opened, a huge amount of money was pouring into corporate accounts.

To some extent, you can pay off all the money borrowed from the bank sooner or later even if you just stand still.

So, if you are not wary of yourself from now on, you could become the scariest and ugliest monster in the world in the blink of an eye.

When I'm sorting out my thoughts for a while.

"Teacher."

Eunsol's voice was heard.

"Yes?"

Her I looked at her, and she opened her mouth with her cautious expression.

“Do you have any plans to hire more instructors? I guess I'll be busy from tomorrow... I think it will be a little difficult with the number of people we have now.”

Hmm… Apparently, he was trying to ask me about increasing the number of instructors.

I looked at her Eunsol and nodded her head. Because I was still thinking about it.

In fact, as I was preparing for the expansion of the academy, I could see that there were surprisingly many students who were arguing among the large academies.

Therefore, it was waiting for the expansion of the academy to attract more students than originally thought.

Of course, the instructors who have been selected in advance are enough to take care of the people who are waiting. It was also true that if there were more people here, it would be a little unsettling.

So, for the future, it was good to expand the instructors in advance. It is because it is more efficient to run an academy with a relaxed staff than to run an academy with a tight workforce.

After organizing my thoughts, I looked at Eunsol and opened my mouth.

“I’m still thinking of hiring more instructors.”

Then, he swiped the list of instructors to Eunsol.

However, Eunsol caught her eye and approached me and started looking through the list.

I looked at Eunsol's side profile for a moment, then followed Eunsol's gaze and skimmed through the names of the list.

However?

'uh?'

Among the names on the list, there was one that stood out.

‘Where do you think I’ve seen this name a lot?’

That name is right there.

‘Pi Hyeon-deok’

It was a name that, once heard, is unlikely to be lost.

‘Because blood is not a common surname. Hmm… But where did I see this name?’

But I can't remember where I saw it.

But at that moment.

‘Ah, yes, then from the USB!’

I remembered where I had seen his name.

Then I had an idea right away.

‘But why is this person here?’

Because if this was the person I knew, he wouldn't have been here.

Because this person is 2035, 15 years from now.
