Episode 23
Ms. Han has lost much of her memory.
If there is a problem with the redevelopment of Han Riverside
she told me to assist President Choi Min Jae to succeed.
What makes you different?
The fact that I know.
I know that the people without power can be hurt by me pressing a button.
I've never hurt anyone that was like my father.
It'll be that way in the future, too.
Don't waste time on compensation.
Give them the amount they want.
And compensate for their prepayments when you demolish the shopping centers too.
With the prolonged strike, the construction has been delayed
and the redevelopment of Han Riverside is heading into uncertainty...
It'll be hard to get money from Japan too.
I offered them double the interest rate...
I even killed a man. Is there anything I can't do?
If there is a problem with the redevelopment of Han Riverside
she told me to assist President Choi Min Jae to succeed.
President Jang, it's over for us.
Call your men.
President Jang.
And ask for assistance from the police, too.
Got it. But there are a lot of elderly people, so the damage will be big.
Even better. The crackdown will be easier than I thought.
Complete the crackdown today!
President Jang Tae Joo just started a crackdown by force.
He brought in 400 hired men and even the police.
'I'm different from you.'
It's not that people are different, only their perspectives are.
The situations too.
He'll get through this crisis for now.
But the real estate market is in the ground because of the Lehman Brothers debacle.
Selling the lots won't be easy.
I'll make sure of it.
If he's successful with the crackdown, he might find a way...
Dad also pressed the missile launch button many times.
Was it in 87? There was a countrywide strike.
Dad also thought it would be easy to resolve it with help from the police.
All the factories of Sung Jin Group's affiliates have stopped production for over three months.
He had Min Jae bribe the executives and brought in employee replacements
and announced that the national economy was in bad shape.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo doesn't know yet.
It's easy to press the missile launch button
but it takes a long time to collect the debris.
Yes.
From the fire that broke out during the crackdown of Han Riverside
several people were injured.
How unfortunate, Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
It'll be hard to collect the debris this time.
While the people were resisting from the steel tower on the rooftop
the police reported that the fire spread to gas and thinner on the floor.
Currently, twenty six injuries have been confirmed.
They have been transferred to a hospital nearby and are going through treatment.
Citizen groups will hold a rally demanding punishment for whoever led the crackdown...
I'll go to the hospital.
I'll check on the patients and pay for their hospital bills and surgeries...
Don't.
Tae Joo.
Paying the hospital bill means we're admitting fault.
We have no money to give them compensation and prepayment.
There are still two places on strike in Zone One.
Tell them to leave.
I'll pay for the hospital bills after that.
Tae Joo.
Did you forget?
How your father passed away?
They said until we agree on the compensation for the dead
they won't pay for the hospital bills for the injured!
Do you not remember?
When you were running around to get money for your father's surgery
how you felt?
Please save my father.
Your money and your kindness... I will definitely, definitely pay them back.
There are twenty six injured people.
They feel the same way now as you did then, Tae Joo.
They occupied our buildings illegally.
File criminal charges on the leaders of the strike.
Tae Joo.
I make the order.
And I take the responsibility too.
Tae Joo...
some people are in critical condition.
Those people are crying right now.
We have to save people first...
If you want to save them, tell them to leave our buildings!
If we don't start the construction this month, Seol Hee
we will be the ones crying.
It must be nice for Eun Jung.
After your talk in the dining room, she handed you over the shares in 30 minutes?
She said she'd sell the land in Yongin and build a department store.
She's buying land near Gangnam Terminal.
You'll receive a better price than the closing price from yesterday for your shares.
And it'll be helpful for your new vehicle R&D, Dong Hui.
I'll invite you when I present a new car. You can sit next to me.
Dong Hui, if you stand next to Seo Yoon, you'll get hurt.
Sung Jae, who she kept in her arms, was sentenced to three years.
The only older brother was sentenced to four years.
Seo Yoon, don't hurt Dong Hui. We'll stay far away.
You won't be disappointed for too long. I promise you.
I wonder if you'll keep that promise.
The promise that you'd grow the Group well and hand it to Myung Hoon.
You only remember the promises that are advantageous to you.
Dong Hui and I will eat at our own house starting tomorrow.
Jung Yoon, we are family.
Not really.
I want to sit across from you at the dining table, but you want to sit above me.
Sitting across from each other is family.
See you on Dad's memorial day.
Once a year.
In the process of demolition by force in Zone One of Han Riverside
Mr. Oh Sang Min, who was burned, died from pulmonary embolism tonight.
You have, at most, forty eight hours.
If he doesn't have surgery before then, he'll die from sepsis and pulmonary embolism.
People on strike from the two buildings in Zone One just left.
The families of the injured went there and begged and argued that they needed money.
Congratulations, my Tae Joo.
Now you can start construction and sell the lots.
Prepare the sales plan.
I gave it to Choon Ho. And I gave the underground brokers to Director Jo.
And I'm giving my resignation to you.
Seol Hee.
I'm really good at hide-and-seek. Don't look for me.
- Seol Hee, I need you. - I'm good at everything else...
but I really couldn't just watch people dying without giving them money for surgery.
We've been in the real estate business for over ten years.
I went into Sung Jin Group and worked on Cement, Card, Parcel Service...
I have twenty one percent of Sung Jin Cement shares in my hands.
Seol Hee... if I just take one step forward
I can sit on the chairman's seat.
He worked at a factory for over twenty years.
He started a kimbap store with the compensation he received from work injuries.
Mr. Oh Sang Min.
He passed away today.
Because you didn't give him money for surgery.
He has three kids.
Two in junior high, and one in elementary school.
Give my retirement money to them, Tae Joo.
Seol Hee, once we win this fight, this place will become heaven.
Some people smile even when they're in hell
but you will walk around looking for gold even in heaven.
Tae Joo, you told me...
that you would laugh with the people in the redevelopment zone.
And you'd make only the people of Sung Jin Group cry.
Now, you'll laugh alone.
Mom told me...
that the most pathetic thing is to laugh alone when everyone else is crying.
When we started Eden, when we built the low income housing...
I gave away the first place to the single elderly people.
Tae Joo did that.
Those who lived in a basement room that was auctioned off...
I got them a better place that cost more than the profit from the auction.
I liked that Tae Joo.
If you leave, there won't be anyone who remembers that side of me.
Stay by my side, Seol Hee.
Tae Joo... you remember it.
What kind of person you were, where you came from...
I hope you find that memory yourself
and stand where you are.
Seol Hee.
When I was in prison...
I really missed you a lot.
I shouldn't have seen you, my Tae Joo.
Good bye.
- [Seller] - [Buyer]
Seo Yoon... I don't like you.
If you stand next to Seo Yoon, you'll get hurt.
Now you'll laugh alone.
Mom told me...
that the most pathetic thing is to laugh alone when everyone else is crying.
I bought a parking lot and twelve houses next to the Terminal.
It's a residential area, so to build a department store
I need to change it into a commercial building.
Is Myung Hoon graduating next year?
I'd like him to stay there and work in the European branch for a few years.
First, he should come back to headquarters...
Europe will become the center of the world economy.
After five years in Europe, I'd like him to go to China then the U.S. before he comes back.
Seo Yoon.
Don't worry about the change of land use for the department store.
Is Mr. Jang Tae Joo starting the first round of lot sales today?
Yes. He's selling one third of the total lots in the Han Riverside redevelopment project.
Twelve thousand apartments and shopping centers...
What about the announcement of the new town plan?
We'll announce the additional twelve new towns this morning.
We'll also start selling the lots in new cities today.
Director Jo.
Building international junior high and high schools, extensions of subways...
plans of building a park in the previous U.S. Army base... focus on advertising those.
It's the first day of sale.
Selling ten percent of the supply is the Maginot line!
Don't try your best, just do it well!
Choon Ho, release the supply on the underground brokers! Now!
When the skillet is too big, the omelet only gets thinner.
Money for real estate is limited.
Once it's spread to new towns and new cities
then the Han Riverside redevelopment project...
Mr. Jang Tae Joo will have a hard time even getting back his investment.
He could rush the second round of demolition and the sale of lots.
There is no way to stand in front of the second hurdle without getting through the first hurdle.
Did you take care of issuing bonds for Sung Jin Construction?
Yes. As you instructed
I met with the chairman of Sung Jin Construction's main bank and canceled it.
Its cash holding is at the bottom.
It'll be hard for President Choi Min Jae to make it past this month.
We've been doing business for over twenty years.
We've never missed our payment on the loan.
It's only a temporary fund shortage.
Please agree on issuing the bonds...
It'll be hard to get a guarantee from the Group.
Chairman, if there is another way...
A guarantee from the Group means
handing over Sung Jin Construction to Managing Director Choi Seo Yoon.
Tax investigation, additional collection on the omitted tax, and even financial pressure...
It'll be hard for President Choi Min Jae to hold out.
Please prepare jasmine tea.
Min Jae likes that tea.
Retrieving Sung Jin Construction from President Choi Min Jae...
Canceling President Jang Tae Joo's sales...
Managing Director, you'll be dominating Sung Jin Group.
You've accomplished something that's very difficult to do.
Let's pop the champagne later.
I'll hear the compliments later too.
Toss the promissory notes of Sung Jin Construction we have in Myeong-dong.
I'd like Min Jae to come to this room in a few days.
If you leave out jasmine tea for too long, its aroma will fade.
- Mom. - Sung Jae!
I was worried...
'What if my Mom doesn't recognize me?'
You don't look good.
How do you feel? Are you feeling okay?
My son! My son...
I should thank Tae Joo. He kept his promise.
Give this to him.
He promised me that he'd send you back to me.
Then he recorded his words in here and gave it to me.
Are your hands okay?
Woodworking is tough. Did you get hurt anywhere?
My son.
Ma'am.
President Choi Min Jae had something to say to you, so I came with him.
I stopped by to see Dr. Park before I came here.
We have a financial problem in Sung Jin Construction.
I heard you use Lord Kim of Myeong-dong like you use your hands and feet.
Please let me meet him...
If Tae Joo breaks his promise...
I said I'd let you fly.
Don't make the old hag with no energy repeat herself.
Yes, ma'am.
I even killed a man. Is there anything I can't do?
- Do you mean, Congress Kim? - He died in my hands.
And Seol Hee wiped off that blood for me.
The statute of limitations still hasn't run out.
Before your memory disappears, I'll bring back Sung Jae.
If I don't keep my promise, tell the world.
It looks like Ms. Han gave you something she shouldn't have.
Tell Aunt Jung Hee that she won't regret letting me fly.
Ms. Han's memory is weak. She gave it to you by mistake...
Half of the world is a mistake.
The fact that I trusted you for over twenty years...
was also a mistake.
President Choi Min Jae!
Do you want to take Sung Jae to Aunt Jung Hee's arms?
Do you want to remove Chairman Choi Dong Sung's portrait from the chairman's office?
Director Kang, then...
you should beg me... to win.
If you want to help... well, feel free to help.
I transferred thirty seven percent of Sung Jin Construction shares to Cement.
I'll leave Sung Jin Group empty-handed.
Should I ask Director Park to leave us?
You can get angry. You can yell at me, too.
You are like that...
When you do something wrong and the other person doesn't get mad, you get nervous.
I'm going to smile... to make you nervous.
During the tax investigation, I stretched out my loan to cover up the window dressing.
I'll take care of it.
When we went on vacation together when we were little
I organized your room.
And I hid the photos of women in bikinis for you too.
Hide the tax evasion charge for me too.
The prosecutors are still investigating.
Please invite the commissioner to the reception hall.
His wife is a member of an animal rights group
so prepare a few dresses made out of natural fabric.
Yes, ma'am.
- Construction is not easy work... - I was a Construction director for a few years.
I know what 'concrete' and 'scaffolding' mean.
There is something Seo Yoon doesn't know.
Dubai, the city of deserts.
High-rises, roads, and pipelines that Sung Jin Construction helped build...
it's an astronomical amount.
Director Kang.
The government corporation that's leading the construction in Dubai will become insolvent.
Sung Jin Construction will sink.
Sung Jin Group will face financial pressure.
Seo Yoon is swallowing a poisonous frog.
Director Kang.
I think about this once in a while.
What if Chairman Choi Dong Sung and Father split Sung Jin Group equally?
Why would that be necessary?
Do employees who work at the plant make the same amount based on how much they work?
No, they don't.
Full-time employees make more than double what temporary workers make.
They do the same job.
Full-time employees demand equality from us
while turning away from the demand for equality from temporary workers.
You've changed a lot, Seo Yoon.
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
For people and the world.
Father and I had the right to own half of Sung Jin Group.
What about Mr. Jang Tae Joo?
I heard that you were going to split Eden and Sung Jin Construction in half
between you and Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
What is it that you want?
Half.
Half of what you'll own.
Friends split everything in half.
Sure.
You were the one who broke that promise.
You don't need to keep the promise you made with Mr. Jang Tae Joo...
so why would I need to keep mine?
Cheer up, Min Jae.
People are like that.
Only when they are discriminated against, they demand equality.
When they're discriminating, equality is bothersome, isn't it?
I'll leave Hampyung Farm to your ownership.
I'll go visit Uncle.
Please take good care of Dad's grave.
Does he want to become Chairman Choi Dong Sung's grave keeper now?
Take good care of Sung Jin Construction.
It'll play a very big part in Sung Jin Group.
It's been a week, but the selling rate is fifteen percent.
Getting back the investment is a distant memory at this point...
And there's no way to get the Sung Jin Cement shares you used as collateral out of the bank safe.
Well gosh... congratulations.
I heard you gave Sung Jin Construction to Chairman Choi Dong Sung's family.
Why don't you look for a small hardware store?
It'll suit your personality and your capability perfectly.
Tae Joo...
I'll help you with the first round of sales.
Sung Jin Group will teeter from the sandstorm in Dubai.
When Tae Joo succeeds in the sale of lots
I'll hold a shareholders' meeting with that money.
It'll be hard for Seo Yoon to defend.
Tae Joo will stop in front of the chairman's office.
Because I'll let Tae Joo hear the tape I have.
I even killed a man. Is there anything I can't do?
I'll open the door to the Sung Jin Group Chairman's office.
The first thing I have to do as Chairman of Sung Jin Group is...
send back Sung Jae into Aunt Jung Hee's arms.
I'll say it again.
If you want to help, Director Kang...
help me.
I don't want it.
I'll be hit in the back of the head only once by one person.
If you want tea, make yourself one on the way out. It's next to the refrigerator.
Did you send flowers to Mr. Oh Sang Min?
A really large bouquet?
Thank you.
I heard you sent flowers to my father's funeral.
A really large bouquet.
This time, you pressed the missile launch button.
Did you take the prize from that?
I ordered the fire at the test complex.
And Chairman Choi Dong Sung took the prize from it.
The first crackdown of the redevelopment of Han Riverside...
You ordered it, didn't you?
Seo Yoon is blocking the prize from it.
I heard...
that Yoon Seol Hee left you.
They left me too.
My father, Yoon, and Yong Jae.
Tae Joo...
what I have left is only myself.
What you have left is only yourself.
Jang Bong Ho's son, Jang Tae Joo.
Choi Dong Jin's son, Choi Min Jae, is asking
to fight against Choi Dong Sung's daughter, Choi Seo Yoon, just this one time.
I'm mobilizing dozens of sales experts, but the situation is not easy.
I'm going to retract the new town selection.
New town was an aggressive plan to begin with.
I still have that much power left.
When will I find out... about what you want?
Put out the fire in front of you first.
You can prepare in the winter for the storm that's coming next year.
You can start selling the lots.
Lotus leaf tea is nice.
I remember...
you often made me lotus leaf tea a long time ago.
When was that?
When Won Jae bought a house for Jin Sook...
I couldn't stand Won Jae's hands that touched my friend...
On the day I said I was leaving this house
you invited me to your room and made me this tea.
Lotus leaf tea.
You said it helps you calm down and that monks in temples enjoy it.
People's minds work in a strange way.
When one greed goes away, another greed comes in.
On the day Won Jae went to prison, I threw out one greed.
The greed that I'd become the wife of the chairman of Sung Jin Group.
Then I got a different greed.
The greed that I'd become the mother of the chairman of Sung Jin Group.
You made me abandon that greed.
You and I are the only ones left at the dining table.
That's how it is with the dining table in this house.
The ones with no greed have no reason to sit there.
I'll get a divorce.
Director Park asked me several times
to help you get a divorce.
To help you leave this house.
I told him I would, Eun Jung.
I'll go visit Won Jae tomorrow and take care of it.
Leave behind the department stores.
Seo Yoon.
The Group will finish constructing the new department store next to the Terminal.
Good, the department stores will go through Won Jae then be handed over to Myung Hoon.
Everyone left.
Seo Yoon, let me leave too.
They'll come back. Sung Jae and Won Jae too.
When the Group is settled, I'll buy stakes in Auto.
Once they realize they need my help to keep their management control over Sung Jin Auto
Jung Yoon and Dong Hui will return to our dining table too.
Because we're family.
Is that... family?
I have a friend from high school named Mi Jin.
She had a happy household.
But once her father lost his job and couldn't make money for a few years...
her family members fought a lot.
Her mom ignored her father...
her brothers fought over whether or not to sell their small house and start a business.
But even still, they eat together at the same dining table.
It'll be uncomfortable for us to eat at the same dining table.
We all know how the other person feels.
Smiling at each other is hypocrisy.
Is there anything in this world that's not hypocrisy?
'Beautiful love'...
If love was beautiful, would it need the adjective 'beautiful'?
'Truthful friendship'.
If friendship was truthful, it wouldn't need the adjective.
It's the same with 'happy family,' Eun Jung.
Maybe hypocrisy is most probable.
The most likely reality.
It was also like that when Dad was around.
Dong Hui wanted Auto. He smiled at the dining table.
Jung Yoon wanted to own the department stores.
And she took care of Dad at the dining table.
Won Jae wanted to own the Group.
He obeyed Dad.
Han Jung Hee, as you know, hid her frightening heart.
I thought our family was happy then... at our dining table.
Dad could give and take away what the family members wanted.
He had that power.
That's the best possible outcome.
I'm going to make that happen with our dining table.
Just like when Dad was around.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts of wanting to get a divorce.
And I told you my opinion that you should leave behind the department stores.
You decide.
Lotus leaf tea really is nice.
It calms my heart and my head.
Managing Director.
The construction in Dubai that started with an ambitious plan of building a dream city
in the middle of the desert is in crisis.
Dubai's government corporation Dubai World announced a moratorium.
Concerns over bankruptcies of the construction companies
including Sung Jin Construction that participated in Dubai projects are rising.
What is the fee that Sung Jin Construction should be receiving from Dubai World?
The confirmed amount alone is 720 million dollars.
High-rises, roads, pipelines, even the garden in the desert...
Sung Jin Construction is building them.
Summon the presidents.
I need to issue corporate bonds and resolve this.
Due to the Dubai situation, faith in government bonds is dropping.
Even the issuance of the corporate bonds by the U.S. companies
that are highly rated by Moody's are failing to reach the goal.
If issuing corporate bonds is difficult, look into foreign loans.
Contact investors in the U.S. and in the U.K.
The world economy is rapidly cooling.
Countries with national deficits that exceed 10 percent of the GDP now
include the U.S., the U.K., and Greece.
I think it'll be difficult to get a foreign loan.
We have to take care of it with the cash holding from the Group.
Once we take care of the problem in Sung Jin Construction...
Cash holdings of the Group will be exhausted.
Take good care of Sung Jin Construction.
It'll play a very big part in Sung Jin Group.
Min Jae.
You did something you'll regret, again.
Call up a finance team meeting.
And figure out the status of the Group's cash holdings.
When I was building transmission towers in Iraq
sandstorms were scarier than the rebels.
I couldn't even see my hand in front of me in that dense sandstorm.
Seo Yoon is facing the sandstorm that came from Dubai right now.
New town selection will be canceled.
The money out in the market... interest is too low to keep it in the bank.
International markets are unstable to buy corporate bonds or government bonds.
They'll flock to real estate.
The first round of sales in the redevelopment of Han Riverside...
is an adequate investment for the money in the market.
Tae Joo... now is the time.
Lower the price and empty out the supply...
Raise the price.
It's difficult for the have-nots to make a living.
But the luxury brands are selling better.
I hear people are lined up to buy foreign cars that cost over a hundred million.
Let's do business with those people.
Skyscraper apartments with a view of the Han River.
Looking over the commoners who wiggle like worms down there...
and feeling relieved that 'I'm different from you.'
To ridicule them, saying, 'You can't come up this high.'
Yes, let's satisfy them.
Raise the selling price to 35 million.
President Jang, if it's 35 million per pyung
it's the most expensive selling price in the country.
We're not selling apartments.
We're satisfying their vanity.
Choon Ho.
Start advertising on ten newspapers at a time.
Start advertising outside of Seoul too.
But Tae Joo, no one outside of Seoul will buy these expensive apartments.
- We don't need to advertise... - They'll be envious.
They'll also get jealous. They'll get angry too.
People will feel... what it means to live in a skyscraper by Han Riverside.
A new class will be born.
Now, let's start.
Here is a report from the finance team.
The cash holdings of the Group is smaller than expected. The shortage...
Get rid of all the CDs and liquid assets I have.
You spent your personal assets during the IMF too.
This is the last of your personal assets.
You should keep those...
If the tree falls, the bird has no branch to sit on.
Sung Jin Group is the tree I have to protect.
Inject them into Sung Jin Construction as convertible bonds.
President Jang, apartment supplies are selling fast.
If we knew, we should've asked for 40 million per pyung.
Withdraw the underground brokers.
The sales office should look like a luxurious hotel lobby, not a street market.
Oh, and...
Remove the top floor penthouse from the regular sale.
Send invitations to a few select VIPs.
Tell them you'll give them a chance to live in a penthouse.
Sung Jin Construction's financial problem has been resolved.
I don't think Dubai World will default, either.
- What about the stock price? - It's maintaining its range.
It's on the recovery.
Managing Director, while we were defending the sandstorm in front of us
President Jang Tae Joo completed the first round of sales for Han Riverside.
The first round of selling 12,000 households and shopping malls is complete.
- The profit is... - Let's not open someone else's wallet.
I believe I was a big help.
Then I'll give you another cup of tea.
Second round of demolition, second round of sales, and the shareholders' meeting...
I went over the hill, and now the mountains are lined up, waiting for me.
Seo Yoon's capital is at the bottom.
As soon as the second round of sales is complete, request the shareholders' meeting.
If you wait until you finish eating to get on the horse
when will we arrive at the battlefield?
Let's eat while we're riding on horseback.
Tae Joo, my advice...
I'm going to meet with Ms. Choi Seo Yoon today.
I'm meeting with my ex-wife for the first time in a while.
Give me advice on what gift I should bring her, President Choi Min Jae.
Won Jae sent me a letter. He's in Cheonan.
The uncle is in Uijeongbu, and the nephew is in Cheonan.
We've been taken apart, so I can't call him or meet him.
I think it's been ten years since I received a handwritten letter.
I put new grass on the graves of Yong Jae and Yoon.
I changed the altar, too.
The altar at Chairman Choi Dong Sung's grave...
I heard you made it out of a rock from your hometown that you used to play around.
And Yong Jae's altar...
was made out of the rock in the garden that he lied on to read books when he was little.
Yoon's altar was...
I heard you handed over Sung Jin Construction and received Hampyung Farm.
So I thought you stopped, Min Jae.
When you come out, you should rest in Hampyung.
You lost everything in your hands, but you still haven't lost your greed.
I will win, Father.
I recognize Chairman Choi Dong Sung.
He was a mountain that was hard to climb over for both of us.
Father.
There are two Chairman Choi Dong Sung's in front of me right now.
After being born in a ghetto in Shilim-dong
he jumped over all the mud puddles and hurdles that the world created for him.
And he came in front of me as Chairman Choi Dong Sung.
After being born in the master bedroom in Sungbuk-dong
Chairman Choi Dong Sung tried to protect the money and power he inherited.
I'm going to make the two Chairman Choi Dong Sungs fight each other.
They'll get tired and wounded and they'll collapse.
I'll step on them, Father...
then I'm going to open the door to the Sung Jin Group chairman's office.
And then after that?
What are you going to do, Min Jae?
Dong Sung and I, two kids with nothing, started it to fill our stomachs.
When we got money in our pockets
half of it was for Dong Sung and the other half was for me. It was easy to split in half.
Once money filled up the safe and the account book
Dong Sung's greed and my greed... began to fight each other.
When the fake cement accident happened...
if we shut the doors to the plant...
if Dong Sung studied for the bar exam with that smart brain...
and if I just stayed in the military, it would've been nice.
I regret it.
When I was released from prison for the first time
if I had thrown Dong Sung all the money I had in my pocket
I could've gone own to Hampyung.
I regret that too.
Min Jae...
I hope you don't regret as much as I do.
Would Chairman Choi Dong Sung have regretted too, Father?
The winner has nothing to regret over.
Well... I heard my ex-wife was having a hard time because of the sandstorm.
I came to dust off your hair and clothes.
But you're already dusted off.
Congratulations on completing the first round of sales.
'My friend asked me where I was living.'
'I told him I was living in an apartment in a skyscraper by Han Riverside.'
I heard you came up with the advertisement phrase.
It was a good copy.
Now that you're complimenting me, I feel like I should treat you to dinner.
You have four months until the second round of sales.
Complete the sales and receive the profit. You'll need to record it in accounting too.
And you'll accumulate shares for the shareholders' meeting next April.
I'll do my best too, Mr. Jang Tae Joo.
Let's have the shareholders' meeting at the end of this month.
From the money you got from the first round of sales
you won't be able to buy the shares you want.
Institutional investors, friendly stakes...
they won't be standing next to you.
That's what you think.
There were a lot of class changes during the period under Japanese rule...
A noble man with land that harvested thousands of rice bags collapsed...
and sometimes slaves became rich.
Were they called 'shikmo'? The ones who helped with the housework.
They wanted to work for a collapsed nobleman even if they were paid less.
I guess they didn't want to work under a slave who became rich.
Because they recognize the noblemen are from a different world.
it must've been easy to lower their heads.
Even with the passage of time, people don't change.
They might point fingers when I can't see them...
but they lower their heads in front of me.
Institutional investors and friendly stakes will stand with me.
I'm going to buy half of the Sung Jin Cement shares.
Even if the cheerleaders are beating the drum and raising their voices...
what does that have to do with me?
Without jumping over the first hurdle...
you won't find a way to stand in front of the second hurdle.
I'll put two hurdles in front of me and jump over them at once.
Starting pitchers in the Major League of Baseball play over thirty games in a year.
But there are only a handful of games when they're in good condition.
Some days the knee hurts, some days the shoulder hurts.
Still, they throw over one hundred balls and take the winnings too.
If I wait for my condition to get better, your condition will improve too.
While you were dusting off the sand, I earned some stakes.
While you are still recovering, I'm going to start the final match.
You'll start the second round of sales this month.
Start accumulating the shares with the profit from the first sale.
When you get money from the second sale, you'll buy additional shares
and secure half of the Sung Jin Cement shares before the shareholders' meeting?
Not only are you pretty, you're smart.
It would've been nice if you left the Group to me and just gave me advice.
It's been a while since I got a compliment.
I'll buy you dinner next time.
I came to see your smiling face one last time.
You'll be begging me then.
You'll be crying and asking me to spare you.
Like Mr. Oh Sang Min?
The missile launch button you pressed
and the kimbap store owner who passed away because of it.
Do you still feel that way?
That you're different from me?
We've become the same, thanks to you.
Which is why I should win.
Thanks to you, I had a really bad flu.
Complete the crackdown today!
Now I've built an immunity
and I'm not going to cough or have a runny nose now.
I'll only focus on the Sung Jin Group chairman's office and run.
Be careful.
A much bigger wind than the sandstorm from Dubai will come.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo, I'll keep my promise.
I'll buy you a cart.
A really big one.
I have twenty one percent of Sung Jin Cement shares.
Fifty percent of them are on the market.
If you secure thirty percent, then I'll be the owner of Sung Jin Group.
I'll avoid the typhoon later.
Tae Joo will hand over the funds. Start accumulating the shares.
With the profit from the first sale, it'll be hard to secure even ten percent of the shares.
Just start.
I'll keep supplying you with ammunition.
Rush the second round of sales. Start with demolition...
Negotiations are going nowhere.
They're demanding too much for compensation.
It's double the size of the first round of sales.
The apartments alone are over 20,000 households.
It's not easy to negotiate.
Anyone can do an easy job.
Bribe the representative of the evicted.
Start the rumor that some got more for compensation
and instigate an internal breakdown.
- President Jang. - There is no easy job on this earth.
Only people who solve them easily.
I thought you were that kind of person.
Choon Ho, help him.
I think it's too much for him to handle by himself.
Okay, Tae Joo.
Hurry up!
Tell Ms. Han Jung Hee...
to make Sung Jae's favorite dishes and wait for him next month.
Tell Aunt Jung Hee...
to make Sung Jae's favorite dishes and wait for him next month.
Tell her I said so.
All of your personal assets were injected to block the shock from Dubai.
Look into loans with affiliates as collateral.
Purchase the stake in Cement up to the ownership limit.
There is a limit to that, Managing Director.
First, let's go to the limit, Director Park.
Ahead of Sung Jin Cement shareholder's meeting
the share has been breaking its record price every day. From 100,000 won
it reached a record of 170,000 won at closing.
The share price is jumping too much.
Why don't we tell Director Kang to stop purchasing for now...
The plane already took off.
There is no way to stop the plane until we arrive.
An emergency landing will be the end of us.
Call him and tell him to buy shares with coins scraped from the floor.
Finish the negotiation on the second demolition this week.
Hurry.
We've almost exhausted the loan on the affiliates.
We purchased about three percent.
Managing Director, the Group's financial pressure will get worse.
We have no choice but to stop investing in the future...
There is no future
if we fail at this shareholders' meeting.
Look into additional loans.
Sung Jin Cement's share price continues to soar.
Overheated competition over management control has been raised as an issue.
I got a call from Director Kang Ho Yeon.
We secured four percent. And we've used up the money.
Finish the negotiation for the second demolition within two days.
It's impossible, President Jang.
I'm sorry for making you do impossible things until now.
I'll meet with them in person.
Set up a meeting with the representatives of the evicted.
We secured four percent with the affiliated loans.
It'll be hard to get additional loans.
Mr. Jang Tae Joo has twenty one percent of the shares.
If you add the purchase from this time, it's twenty five percent.
There is a way, Managing Director.
You have to lead it yourself.
You could get hurt too.
Life, Fire and Corporate... I'll bring in the three presidents.
I'll use the chairman's office starting today.
If I tell them under Dad's portrait, they'll follow my command.
They called in the presidents of Life, Fire and Corporate.
Director Kim in the finance team
served President Bae Young Han at Chung Ma a long time ago.
He'll become our hands and feet.
What to do... Eun Jung.
How will she stay in that big house alone when Seo Yoon goes to prison?
Jang Tae Joo, Seo Yoon...
it doesn't matter who wins.
If Tae Joo wins, there is the tape of his murder confession.
If Seo Yoon wins, I'm going to tell the world what she's about to do from now on.
You're a nasty nephew.
With the stuff you took from an old hag with a cloudy mind
you're going to open the door to the chairman's office?
Did you say it?
Half of what happens in the world is a mistake?
There shouldn't be any more mistakes in your future.
I'd like Life, Fire and Corporate to purchase two high-rises in the banking district in London.
Yes ma'am, I will send a due diligence team and take a look at the buildings...
There are no buildings.
Director Park will prepare the purchase contract.
Deposit the purchase price through a paper company.
Once the shareholders' meeting is over, the buildings will be considered sold
and the money will be returned to Life, Fire, and Corporate.
Managing Director, that kind of fraudulent transaction is dangerous.
The Group is dangerous, President Kim.
The Sung Jin Group that the three of you built together with Dad...
I'd like to protect it.
Can we finish the deal by tomorrow?
It hasn't even been ten minutes since you met with the representatives.
Is it already over?
What can I say when I don't have money to give?
I just said one thing.
I told them if they don't withdraw on their own by tomorrow evening
I will remove them by force.
Since there are more shopping malls and more people on strike...
about seven hundred hired men will take care of it.
- Call your brothers. - President Jang.
You've changed too much.
The world is not changing, so what am I supposed to do?
I have to change.
I'm going to sit in the chairman's seat in Sung Jin Group.
I'm going to protect Sung Jin Group.
I'm going to open the door to the chairman's office in Sung Jin Group.
