Real Man-Chapter 741

Yoo-hyun received a call from reporter Oh Eun-bi.

He had gotten the information he wanted and he was fiddling with his phone, thinking.

‘By now, the information should have spread…’

The article would stay within Uri Ilbo for a while, but the details would have leaked through the internal grapevine.

Yoo-hyun knew well the methods of Gerard Kim.

That was why he had fed reporter Oh Eun-bi some slightly altered information.

How would Shingyeongsoo react?

He didn’t have to wait long to find out.

Beep.

-You have a meeting request from the director. Please meet him discreetly.

Yoo-hyun smirked as he read the message from the planning coordination office’s secretary.

“Who does he think he is?”

He was too arrogant for his own good. He still hadn’t grasped the situation.

But it didn’t matter.

Thanks to him, Yoo-hyun had a chance to confront him.

A head-on battle.

It was time for him to shake the board.

Inside the director’s office on the 34th floor of Hansung Tower.

It was a large space, decorated simply and sparsely.

Yoo-hyun sat there, calmly facing Shingyeongsoo’s sharp gaze and sipping his tea.

If it were the past?

He would have tried to accommodate his sensitive temper. But now, he didn’t need to.

Only the needy had to adjust.

Clack.

Yoo-hyun put down his teacup. Shingyeongsoo, who had been enduring the annoying situation, opened his mouth.

“Let me ask you bluntly. Do you have any intention of working under me?”

“I don’t think we have that close of a relationship.”

“It’s not that bad. And I’m a person who doesn’t hold grudges.”

No grudges?

Yoo-hyun knew very well what happened to the employees who had opposed him in the past.

Of course, he didn’t show it.

“May I ask why you are saying this all of a sudden?”

“I admire your ability. You know that I was the one who brought you to the group strategy office, right?”

“But you didn’t trust me.”

“If you felt that way, it was because of your attitude, not your ability. You had too naive of a mindset to play in the big leagues back then.”

Shingyeongsoo spoke in the past tense, as if he had made a final judgment. Yoo-hyun retorted.

“You seem to be mistaken. I haven’t changed at all.”

“I respect that. But you will soon.”

“Why do you think so?”

Swoosh.

Shingyeongsoo leaned forward and lowered his voice, drawing attention.

“Because I can give you more than what you want.”

“What do you mean?”

“President of Hansung Electronics. How would you like to sit in that position?”

“…”

“That would be much more honorable than owning a small stake in a company, don’t you think?”

Shingyeongsoo was a person who had to get what he wanted to satisfy his ego.

He had reversed his evaluation of Yoo-hyun and called him to this place to make an offer.

Yoo-hyun had expected that much.

But he didn’t expect him to mention the president of Hansung Electronics.

He had worked like a dog for 20 years to get that position, and he was offering it so easily.

Yoo-hyun couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahaha.”

“Do you think I’m joking? When I become the chairman…”

He spat out with a furrowed brow. Yoo-hyun cut him off.

“Really. Do you think you can become the chairman?”

“It’s not a matter of thinking, it’s a matter of certainty. I don’t bet without confidence.”

“Well. I don’t think Shingyeongwook vice-president will let you have it so easily.”

“He seems to be cocky because he secured Nokchun’s stake. Don’t be mistaken. He’s no match for me with just that.”

As expected, Shingyeongsoo knew about Shingyeongwook vice-president’s moves.

He had exposed it on purpose. He had no choice.

The board was heated enough. It was time to get to the point.

Yoo-hyun straightened his posture and opened his mouth.

“Do you remember? Two years ago. When Elliot tried to hold a temporary shareholders’ meeting and backed off.”

“Go on.”

“You were the one who made that decision. You had already lost the bet then, as far as I know.”

Yoo-hyun mentioned the information he had leaked through reporter Oh Eun-bi, provoking him. Shingyeongsoo’s eyebrows twitched.

He couldn’t forget that memory, when he had tasted failure for the first time.

Shingyeongsoo soon hid his expression and snorted.

“So you think you can stop me again? You don’t seem to realize that the situation is different from then.”

“You are the one who doesn’t know. This is something that doesn’t need to be stopped.”

“It doesn’t need to be stopped?”

“There’s no reason to avoid a fight that you can win.”

It was a clearly disadvantageous situation, but Yoo-hyun was relaxed.

Shingyeongsoo, who had been watching him, moved his body and gestured.

“Let me hear it. Why do you have such a ridiculous idea?”

“I’ll ask you back. If you have to tear apart Hansung Electronics, will you do it?”

“I can do it.”

“But you won’t, right? The more you have, the more you fear losing. There’s a way out, but of course you’ll want to have it all.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun knew from the start that Shingyeongsoo had no intention of tearing apart Hansung Electronics.

He was not someone who would give up what was his.

He would naturally try to monopolize it.

“Of course, the same goes for Shingyeongwook vice-president. He’ll go all the way without compromise.”

Yoo-hyun’s next words touched his hidden plan.

Shingyeongsoo’s lips twisted.

“Do you think you can win a head-on battle?”

“I’ve never made a bet without confidence. Just like I did before.”

“You’re bluffing.”

“If you’re curious, open the cards. But then, it’ll be too late to turn back.”

“…”

For a moment, Shingyeongsoo’s eyes wavered.

The seed of doubt that Yoo-hyun had planted had sprouted. This small crack would eventually darken his vision.

Sip.

Yoo-hyun lifted the corner of his mouth as he brought the teacup to his lips.

“Not a bad aroma.”

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun had lifted his huge enemy, Shingyeongsoo, on his palm.

Clang.

Shingyeongsoo, who was left alone in the office, sneered.

“Me, pushed back?”

No matter what scenario he pushed, there was no possibility of that.

But why did he feel so uneasy?

He had verified it several times, but he felt anxious.

It was the same feeling as when he was hit by BCG.

He couldn’t afford to fail.

Shingyeongsoo, who had made up his mind, picked up the phone.

“I need to check on my brother’s intentions. I’ll have to speed up the plan.”

-We’ll take care of it right away.

The voice of his subordinate echoed from the other side of the receiver.

Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun, who had gone outside, reviewed Shingyeongsoo’s plan.

The possibility of Hansung Electronics being torn apart was a fake to instill fear.

He had tried to create a situation where Shingyeongwook vice-president had no choice but to give up.

What if he still went to the temporary shareholders’ meeting?

It didn’t matter.

As long as Elliot was on Shingyeongsoo’s side, his chance of losing was zero.

He must have thought so, but the stone that Yoo-hyun had thrown had caused a ripple in his perfect plan.

Splash.

There could be a reversal card at the temporary shareholders’ meeting?

The sprout of doubt in his head could only grow bigger.

Shingyeongsoo was a person who couldn’t stand even one percent of uncertainty.

Rather than waiting for the source of anxiety, he was more likely to make the fight unnecessary.

To do that?

He had to push him into an extreme situation.

A situation where the shareholders would force Shingyeongwook vice-president to step down.

Yoo-hyun, who had predicted Shingyeongsoo’s moves, picked up his phone and called.

“Vice-president, I have something to tell you.”

-Talk.

The voice of the captain who would hold his hand to the end on the stormy sea came through.

Not long after that, the news containing Shingyeongsoo’s intentions was reported.

The gist was that he would distribute most of the profits as dividends.

Thanks to that, the shaky stock price stabilized, but it became harder to raise funds for the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor.

But the shareholders were happier.

They wanted the stock price to rise, not the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor.

The market was pushing Hansung Electronics to give up Shinwa Semiconductor.

At the right time, Shingyeongwook vice-president was in the minister’s office of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

The voice of Minister Park Heesoo, who had been talking calmly, rose.

“You don’t want restructuring. You can’t withdraw from the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor. Why do you hate everything?”

“As I said, Hansung Electronics’ performance is solid. I can’t make a decision that would harm the employees in this situation.”

“Isn’t that the problem? Do you really want to split Hansung Electronics in half? Do you want to climb to the chairman’s seat by being so stubborn?”

“Minister, you can speak frankly.”

Shingyeongwook vice-president spoke as if he knew everything. Minister Park Heesoo took a breath and opened his mouth.

“Sigh. You have to compromise.”

“What do you mean?”

“I met with the major shareholders of Hansung Electronics and heard their stories. They said they would support you to run Hansung Electronics as you wish, as long as you promise not to become the chairman.”

“…”

“That’s the best way to stop this chaos. Please choose for the sake of the company and the country.”

Everything would be fixed if he stepped back.

It was a sweet offer that he wanted to accept, even though he knew it was poison.

But would he give up his future for a moment of relief?

That was absurd.

-You promised not to waver. Please trust me just once. I’ll fix this.

Even without Yoo-hyun’s words, his choice would have been the same.

“For the sake of the company and the country. I’ll fix it.”

“You don’t understand what I’m saying…”

“No, I do. I will never back down.”

Shingyeongwook vice-president’s eyes flashed.

At that moment.

Yoo-hyun was looking around the third floor of the Double Y building.

The gym ring had been replaced by a desk, and the manager’s office had become the branch office of Mirinae Securities.

Yoo-hyun, who entered the office, touched the new sofa and asked.

“Is the cleanup almost done?”

Park Young-hoon, who was making coffee next to him, answered.

“What’s there to do? I’ve set up offices a few times. It’s easy.”

“Wow. You’re so skilled.”

“Well. That’s why I have two business cards. Here. Drink.”

“Thanks.”

Yoo-hyun and Park Young-hoon sat on the sofa facing each other.

Park Young-hoon, who had been staring at Yoo-hyun, said.

“Da-hye seems to be worried about you a lot.”

“Yeah? She didn’t show it to me.”

“She must have been considerate. She knows how hard Hansung is. Especially Hansung Electronics, where you are. It’s in a crisis situation right now.”

“A crisis situation… How does it look to you?”

“What do you mean? From an investment perspective?”

Yoo-hyun nodded at Park Young-hoon’s question.

“Yeah. I want to hear the opinion of a securities company president.”

“Obviously, it’s not suitable for investment.”

“Why? The expected performance for this quarter is pretty good.”

“It’s not a performance issue. Right now, the stock market is saying that speculative capital is targeting Hansung Electronics.”

“You mean Elliot?”

“Yeah. He’ll probably take over some of the management rights through this temporary shareholders’ meeting. He’s pushing the situation that way.”

Park Young-hoon, who had been in the securities industry for a long time, pierced the core.

He didn’t need any additional explanation.
