The meeting went smoothly, and an appointment was made to meet Han Ho-jae, the representative of Daehan Market, at 8:00 pm. On the way to meet him, Im Han-ul was firmly informed.

“Don’t call me by my name there, call me Mr. Kim.”

“Mr. Kim?”

“Because I know him as Managing Director Kim of B&T Financial.”

Wearing sunglasses and a beard in Kim Sang-mu’s suit, Im Han-ul looked at me with his eyes narrowed.

“Why are you putting on that beard that doesn’t suit you?”

“The concept of managing director Kim.”

oh whatever. I mean, this is the kind of person Kim is.

Im Hanul smiled.

“You do weird things sometimes.”

It looks strange to me.

“So it’s fun.”

“Is that a compliment?”

To hide his identity, he puts on a beard and disguises himself. If anyone else knew, they would be so suspicious. But so far, I’ve been doing well without being caught.

Im Han-ul took a deep breath and neatly tidied up his clothes.

“I’m really nervous to meet Han Ho-jae, CEO of Daehan Market.”

“tremble?”

“Of course. He’s a legend in the startup world.”

He made it from scratch, so he deserves to be famous. It was nothing short of a miracle to have grown that much among conglomerates who are watching to prey on companies.

In fact, the Dokgo Group launched Dokgo Commerce to defeat and eat Daehan Market.

‘I would have never dreamed that I would be caught and eaten by Daehan Market.’

Since it is a business that a large company decided to jump into, Dokgo Commerce systematically laid the infrastructure from the beginning. It was a different approach from Daehan Market, which has increased its bases one by one whenever it grows in size.

After setting, check again.

“Who am I?”

“B&T Financial Executive Director Kim.”

“How about us?”

“Between friends.”

The fewer lies, the less confused they are. After checking a few expected questions, I headed to Daehan Market’s office.

When I called from the entrance of the building, CEO Han Ho-jae jumped down.

“Welcome, Mr. Kim.”

It was good to see that the Shinsoo was clear. Since the maximum number of members of Daehan Market is being updated every day, it was only natural.

He greeted Im Hanul with a bright face.

“I heard from Managing Director Kim. I am Han Ho-jae, CEO of Daehan Market.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Im Hanul, CEO of Meta Molds.”

The two shook hands lightly and exchanged business cards. It was a very natural movement like water flowing like a businessman.

“Let’s go to the office first.”

After work hours, most of the employees were away. Upon entering the office, there was a table full of delicious sushi.

“You haven’t eaten, have you?”

“Yes.”

“I’m weak, but I’ve prepared sushi. You don’t really hate sashimi, do you?”

Both sashimi and meat are good.

“I like.”

“I’m glad. Then let’s talk comfortably over a meal.”

“thank you for this food.”

We ate sushi and talked about business.

“I looked up Meta Molds. I was very impressed with the application you made as a prototype.”

“The goal is to bring the graphics and textures of the product to life so that consumers can shop online.”

“Anyway, it will be more helpful in making a choice than having only one photo. But wouldn’t the system be heavy?”

“We are developing with that in mind. And…”

The story of Lim Han-ul and Han Ho-jae’s business continued. I listened to their stories while eating sushi. It was like listening to a lecture.

Ho-jae Han unexpectedly knew deeply about the program, so the story continued to grow. His concern was whether the server would be able to withstand the load when things increased.

“You don’t have to worry about that. These days, cloud technology is applied to automatically adjust server expansion according to users.”

Im Hanul continued with a confident attitude.

“That’s right. We plan to stabilize the server through data center expansion. The current system is at a level where 5,000 users can use 200 products at the same time.”

“As you know, there are hundreds of items registered for Daehan Market’s delivery to Korea.”

And if you include stuff from Savannah Market or Super Sellers, thousands would be ridiculous. But now I didn’t have to register all of that.

First of all, it’s a prototype. There were many things to consider during the large-scale update, but it was better to do that after the formal contract was finalized.

It seems that Im Han-ul had the same idea.

“It’s a prototype at first, so launch only 200 units, and if the response is good, go ahead with product registration through a formal contract.”

“Ummm…”

Han Ho-jae frowned.

It was worth worrying about because there was no case of applying VR shopping system to an online shopping mall other than a metaverse game.

‘At times like this, we need to emphasize that there is no risk. It’s because money is overflowing anyway.’

I paid for the investment with confidence because I could invest in it.

“During the three months of the promotion period, we will not charge a user fee. Daehan Market only needs to provide products and open a pop-up on the main page.”

Im Han-ul’s eyes became the size of a bell. His expression was taken aback, but he quickly corrected his expression and nodded.

It meant that he would completely trust me.

Han Ho-jae groaned and stroked his chin.

“Ummm…if Managing Director Kim said so.”

“You won’t lose anything.”

“If it’s the condition you suggested, we have nothing to lose. Then what will be left in the Meta Molds?”

“If we sign a formal contract, there will be profits.”

Even if you don’t sign a formal contract, your portfolio remains. A portfolio that has collaborated with large companies will be a very good asset to attract small and medium-sized companies.

“Okay. Then, I’ll trust only Mr. Kim to proceed.”

“thank you!”

Im Han-ul jumped up from his seat and lowered his head. Being a Daehan Market affiliate would be a good business card for a startup.

Han Ho-jae asked.

“Is the product registration in the studio?”

“I’ll go to the warehouse with the equipment.”

“Then, I will collect the products to be registered separately.”

“thank you.”

“Then write the contract first.”

When Han Ho-jae called, lawyer Lee Kang-won, whom he met during the last paid-in capital increase, came running. He spotted me and greeted me with a bright smile.

“Sangmu Kim of B&T Financial. Long time no see.”

“Has this attorney been doing well?”

“Thanks to you, I’ve been fine.”

He smiled and handed Im Han-ul his business card.

“I am a lawyer, Kangwon Lee.”

“I am Hanul Lim, CEO of Meta Molds.”

The two exchanged business cards and sat down. The lawyer turned on the laptop and started writing the contract.

“The contractors are Daehan Market and Meta Malls. The period is 3 months. And there is no separate payment…”

What we had talked about began to be written down. Since the people in this room own more than 80% of the entire Daehan Market, the decision was swift.

When the legal scrivener handed over the printed contract, the two stamped and handed it over to each other. Ho-jae Han readily paid for the lawyer’s fees.

“Thank you. Please use it again later.”

Judge Lee Kang-won bowed his head and left the office.

Han Ho-jae held out his hand to Im Han-ul.

“It’s a metabus shopping mall, so I’m looking forward to the consumer response.”

“Thank you. I will do my best.”

“I’m more grateful. Then, shall we talk about something other than work while eating the leftover sushi? What is Managing Director Kim doing on the weekend these days?”

“I’m busy playing with my daughter these days.”

“You have a daughter.”

“What does CEO Han do on the weekend?”

“There are no weekends these days.”

he laughed out loud

“You seem to be very busy.”

“But it’s rewarding. It’s like going back to my youth.”

A blush ran across his face.

Still, I felt good, so my heart felt lighter.

After the meal, I returned to the office of the best company. It was to take off the makeup and finish what we talked about in the meeting.

Upon entering the office, Im Han-ul loosened his tie and sat down on the sofa.

“I thought I was going to die of tension.”

“It worked out fine, though.”

“It’s not like that.”

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

“Thank you. Jaegu. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have met the CEO.”

“Why do you have this much? You haven’t forgotten that I’m an investor in your company, right?”

“What? Was it because of the investment?”

“Then why do you think you helped?”

We both knew very well that this was not the case. Im Hanul scratched the back of his head and raised his back.

“I need to squeeze a budget to make marketing expenses.”

“What do you need? I’ll invest more.”

“You still invested a lot, right?”

It was a lot of money at the time of investment, but it wasn’t even a lot of money to me now.

“When it gets dirty, we have to row. Let’s hit the marketing big and get into Daehan Market this time.”

“I’d like to, but…”

“I’ll buy it for you at a high price, so increase your capital.”

Since I earn 200 billion won a day, I could have just given away a few billion, but I wanted to dilute it because other people also had a stake.

If only Lim Han-ul and I shared the stake, I would have been happy without any regrets.

“Last time I was taken care of, but again, I was taken care of…”

“What does it mean to be friends? Succeed properly and call my money.”

Im Han-ul hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind and tapped his chest.

“Yes. I’ll work hard and call you. Trust me.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

“Yeah. But can I say something?”

He twitched the corners of his mouth.

“What?”

“Your beard really doesn’t suit you.”

“···yes?”

i thought it was pretty good

***

I had a meal with Han Seong-min. It was nice to see her face improved a lot compared to before when she was close to being a disabled person.

The two who escort him had Seo Kang-jae eat in the next room, and only Han Sung-min was invited into the room.

I gave you a card, so I’ll take care of it.

“You buy all these things.”

Han Seong-min opened his mouth as he watched the meat being browned. After all, meat was the best for body maintenance.

“Is things going well?”

“Yes. I have also applied for a retrial and now I just have to wait for the results. I am gathering more evidence to ensure victory, but this will take time.”

He picked up a piece of meat that had been browned and placed it on top of his rice.

“thank you for this food.”

“Eat a lot. And this is the activity fee.”

When I handed the generously packed envelope to Han Seong-min, he shook his head.

“I don’t take bribes.”

“If you want to buy food for the two of you, you need activity expenses, so please accept them.

“…If that’s the case.”

he took the envelope

“When do you think the retrial will begin?”

“There’s no deadline, but it should be at least next month.”

“It’s taking longer than expected.”

“If you look past it, it will be soon. There is one thing I want to tell you more than that.”

“What is it?”

Han Seong-min frowned and averted his gaze.

“You’d better hire someone with more authority than me at the trial.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because having authority increases speed. I was hired for data research anyway. The budget will be higher, but I’m sure it’s on that side.”

“Hmm. I see.”

There was a point in his suggestion. It was a dirty fact, but since it is a human job, the influence of personal connections cannot be ruled out.

In his position, who was kicked out of the prosecutor’s office, it could have been burdensome to meet someone he knew.

‘If I said I would take it myself, I was worried about how to say it, but thank you for saying it first.’

He won’t be able to defend himself properly in court yet. Nevertheless, as he had been in the legal profession for a long time, he should have known the information well.

“Has anyone thought of it?”

“Are you talking about the lawyer?”

“Yes.”

“I am Lawyer Lee Ji-seong of Gangrok Law Firm.”

“What kind of person are you?”

“I’ve never seen anyone lose a criminal case.”

he added a word.

“He doesn’t take personal requests well, but if you want, I’ll give you a bridge.”
