#4. good relationship

“My friend Mr. Jang’s first year must have been quite smooth. The forehead is on the right side, and judging from the long drooping of the palace, he is a lucky man who did not suffer much when he was young or young.”

The president, Jinan-cheol, nodded and said.

“Right. Mr. Jang’s father passed away after passing away a lot of water parsley fields in Apgujeong, and he made a lot of money with the development of Gangnam.”

“On the contrary, the seniors’ first years must have been very tiring.”

“Heh heh, I guess you can see all of that. That’s right, my family was a tenant farmer who rented land for farming. I hated poverty, and at the age of thirteen I started earning money by shoe shine and manual labor. It was my goal in life to earn money and buy a piece of land.”

“Yes, your fortunes may have changed as you moved into middle age. In the case of the elderly, they have thick noses and good philtrum and lower crown, so wealth accumulates as they get older.”

“You mean Mr. Jang’s prize is different.”

Jihyeok nodded and continued.

“On the other hand, in the case of Mr. Jang, the fortune of his first years gathered in his nose and drooped like an arrow nose. Those who did not have excessive greed for wealth would have repeatedly ruined every business they started.”

President Nan-cheol now showed a smile that looked dejected beyond shock.

“Heh heh, that’s really crazy. Where in the mountain did you polish your sword?”

In fact, Jihyeok himself was surprised.

In Tongyeong, I had seen the contemplation of the daughters of Mansin Jang Sun-deok as a practice, but this was the first time I had seen someone else’s contemplation properly, and the words came out surprisingly easily.

It was a different experience from getting accustomed to the language I had been using for the rest of my life.

“Actually, the important things are the eyes and lips. He speaks with his lower lip sticking out, and his eyes are 300 eyes that show the upper white of his eyes.

“So did you find out that Mr. Jang did damage to my building?”

“In fact, there are many reasons, but it is unlikely that such a person would have brought a proper shaman for a friend, and that is why I introduced it to the elders when I said shaman. I probably wouldn’t have introduced it if I had said that I was a feng shui person or a contemplative. It’s like I hit the ball before the elders really recognized it.”

Mr. Jang must have been aiming for the land where the two-story building was built from the beginning.

Since Mr. Jang had chosen the tenants of the building for President Nam Nam-cheol, he would have picked a business that was easy to go bankrupt and signed the contract, and from the moment he confirmed that Dolhareubang was effective, he would have spread bad rumors himself.

Rumors that people were dying were either inflated or more likely to be false.

The president of Jinancheol sighed deeply and said.

“I knew you were a bad friend in the first place. Mr. Jang, no, Jang Gi-cheol gave me some medicine and a few things that he threw as if he was a child, so I was grateful. That sweet thing was so delicious back then…”

“The elders are like that. Even with a small grace, he is accurate in his calculations.”

“So later, when the business went bankrupt and I opened a Bokdeokbang, I started helping.”

Jihyeok tilted his head and murmured.

“Just a little help would have been enough…”

“I knew a lot of people who owned land here and there, probably because he was originally the son of a wealthy family and had a big business. I even bought good land thanks to you.”

Even if he didn’t know, he must have played a lot with the land price while introducing the land.

President Jinan-cheol, who had accurate calculations, probably didn’t know that, but he seemed to have turned a blind eye to that much.

What Jihyeok was curious about here was why he left Mr. Jang alone when he must have been paying attention to some extent.

There must have been a reason other than drugs and a few things.

If I had seen Saju, I would have guessed to some extent, but there was a limit to contemplation alone.

President Jin-cheol finished his old thoughts and slowly opened his mouth.

“I had a very valuable experience today. I never thought there would be someone like you… But there was something wrong with what you said.”

“Ah… is that so? If you’ll excuse me, can you tell me which part is wrong? It’s because I want to know what part I got wrong because I’m still not good at studying.”

“You said at first that I’m not in a hurry, maybe?”

“Yes, I thought it was a contemplation overflowing with wealth.”

“I don’t know how it may look, but I have a lot of greed for land and buildings. Maybe that’s why, when I have money, I’m busy buying real estate, so I don’t have much cash. But I’ve been in need of some cash lately. Jang must have known that, so he hit the price.”

It seemed like he was saying that he couldn’t do a contract with a two-year deferral of the balance.

“That’s right. If that’s the case, you can pretend you didn’t hear about the contract I mentioned.”

“Heh heh, is that okay?”

“of course. After cleaning the dol hareubang, the plants will grow well and all the sphagnum moss will be removed, so you can sell it for the right price.”

The president, Jinan-cheol, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Heh heh heh, even when he brought up the contract, he seemed like a greedy friend, but at times like this, he’s a no-nonsense guru. It’s because I don’t like being teased like this, Won.”

I thought that Ji-hyeok, who seemed to know everything in the world, would regret it a little bit, but when Ji-hyeok gave up unexpectedly, he laughed.

“See you tomorrow at 9 am in front of the building you just saw. Let’s write the contract then.”

“You just said you urgently needed cash, would you mind?”

“I’m an old-fashioned person, so I hate being in debt to the bank. In order not to be the person who says two things to you, I have to say sorry to the bank. What should I do? Fortunately, you’re not too greedy, so the monthly rent will be taken care of, so that’ll cover the bank interest.”

As can be seen from the coronation, the calculation was accurate.

Jihyeok lowered his head from his seat and spoke politely.

“Thank you, old man.”

“There is nothing to be thankful for, since I only gave you blessings after seeing the coronation. By the way, are you the type to see Saju as well as your contemplative skills?”

“It is accurate to see the bondi sandbar and the coronation together, so I studied at a similar level.”

“That’s right. I will be the first to visit when business starts. There is a master who wants you to look at it.”

“hahahaha, before we even spread the mat, we had a reservation. You are always welcome, old man.”

“Okay, then see you tomorrow.”

President Nam-cheol left his seat and Dong-soo took a deep breath and asked a question as if he had barely held it in.

“Brother, what are you really trying to do with such a contract? How are you going to earn 8 billion in 2 years… hahahaha.”

“Dongsoo, let’s sell our worries. If you can’t collect 8 billion won, can’t you just think that you signed a monthly rent contract with a deposit of 50 million won for 2 years? I may not be able to get my down payment back, but CEO Nam Nam-cheol is not such a heartless person.”

Dong-soo quickly agreed.

“Yeah, that’s right. But did you really find out so much just by looking at the coronation?”

“why? Do you think I did a background check beforehand?”

“It’s not like that… but by the way, how did you know that other real estate companies would easily hand over the contact information of Mr. Jeon Nam-cheol?”

“Did you hear about the contemplation of Mr. Jang of Bokdeokbang?”

“Yes, brother.”

“How could someone so greedy and crafty share his rice bowl with someone else?”

“Oh, wouldn’t it?”

“President Ji Nam-cheol’s property is monopolized by Mr. Jang anyway, so in other real estates, wouldn’t he be interested in whether we deal directly or not? But since Mr. Jang is not a popular type, there is no reason not to give him his contact information. Ordinary people don’t want to give away persimmons that I can’t eat, right?”

The meaning was understood, but Dong-soo, who felt that Ji-hyeok’s words were strange, took a different line.

“Ah… but didn’t you poke the persimmons you couldn’t eat?”

“Kuh, kuhm. I just wanted you to know.”

It was Jihyeok who was not familiar with Korean proverbs yet.

***

Arriving at the meeting place at 9:00 the next day, Ji-hyeok was slightly amazed at President Nan-cheol’s care.

In the building, about a dozen workers, who seemed to have been called by the president of Jinan-cheol, were diligently cleaning the yard and the inside of the building.

A pile of square grass was piled up in one corner of the yard, and an excavator was lifting Dolhareubang.

After the Dolhareubang was removed, it seemed as if the whole yard was to be overturned and new grass laid.

“Senior, you don’t have to do this…”

“It’s still my house, but I can’t bring in people with such an ugly appearance, can’t I? Besides, for two years, you are the same as a tenant, so as a landlord, it is a natural thing to do.”

Ji-hyeok was able to feel the subtlety of contemplation once again with the accurate calculation method of President Nan-cheol.

“Thank you in many ways, sir.”

“Heh heh, wasn’t it me who earned 1 billion more thanks to you? Rather, I am grateful.”

At the moment when Jihyeok and CEO Jinancheol were exchanging good wishes, I saw Mr. Jang of Bokdeokbang hurriedly running.

Mr. Jang glanced at Ji-hyeok’s face and immediately raised his voice to the president of Nan-chul.

“No, Namcheol. What is all this?”

The president, Jinan-cheol, asked with a bored expression.

“why? What’s wrong?”

“Why are you repairing the building you were going to sell?”

CEO Jeon Nam-chul answered Ji-hyeok with a slight wink.

“Why? That’s what the new building owner wants to do to make repairs.”

“No, what is that… Did the construction company make such a request without my knowledge?”

“Ah… I’m not trying to sell it to the construction company you introduced me to.”

“What, what? Suddenly, where is this law, Namcheol? How much effort did I put into making that deal…”

“I’m sorry about that. Instead, the guests you brought have decided to buy it, so I will take care of my welfare separately.”

At that moment, the quick-witted Jang Ki-cheol glanced at Ji-hyeok.

“Did those friends say they would buy this place?”

“Yes.”

“No, what… Those were things I was groaning about because I didn’t even have 100 million, so how could I live here? Also, there is definitely a thing called commercial morality in real estate transactions, so where is the law to break up a transaction like this?”

“Hmm… listening to you, that’s not wrong either. Then ask the construction company you mentioned first, if they can give you 8 billion.”

“Pa, eight billion? Did they decide to give you 8 billion?”

“Don’t keep doing this guy and that guy. If you say you won’t buy it, then will you take responsibility?”

“Yeah, but eight billion is a bit… If I speak well, how will it be possible to reach 7.5 billion?”

“Look, Mr. Jang. Now, does that mean that I should lose 500 million won?”

“That, that’s not what I mean…”

“If times are good, I think you know better that it is something that can receive up to 10 billion won. It’s like cutting off 2 billion, so if you don’t like that, I can’t help it either.”

“Nam… Namcheol…”

“I will ask again. Eight billion, is that possible?”

Jang Ki-cheol, who had been calculating in his head for a long time, opened his mouth with a slight bite of his lips.

“Namcheol, won’t you regret it? Knowing who arranged this deal in the first place…”

“I know that. Oh, I’m thinking of bringing the Dol Hareubang you gave me to my villa in Jeju Island. It turns out that it is illegal to bring stones from Jeju Island. Don’t be too upset.

Jang Ki-cheol’s face turned red in an instant.

The words of President Na-Nam-Cheol were like a warning, ‘I know what you did, but I won’t make it an issue anymore.’

Ji-hyeok was puzzled by the fact that CEO Jin-cheol seems to be finishing his work too carefully, but he thought that there must be circumstances.

“…that, is that so?”

“And I mean. In the future, I hope you will share the rental property I give you with the surrounding businesses.”

“Namcheol, where is the law to break the contract and even cut off the food line like this…?”

“Haven’t you earned enough to live on? Young brokers have to make a living too. Do as I say, okay?”

“Ah, I see.”

Jang Ki-cheol, feeling that he would only lose money if he stayed longer, glared at Ji-hyeok and Dong-soo and quickly left.

After the talk with Jang Ki-cheol, President Nam Nam-cheol’s expression was much more relieved.

In a way, Ji-hyeok seemed to have split up their old friends, but since the president of Jin-cheol called Jang Ki-cheol Jang, he was too far away from being called a friend, so there was no regret.

“The construction will be finished in two or three days. When are you going to start selling?”

“well. Since it is a service business, it will take another week to complete the interior and set up the shrine.”

“Okay. Then, on the opening day, I will make sure to come with the party to see the fortune teller.”

“If you are in a hurry, I can take a look now. Do you know the order?”

“No, he’s a very busy guy, so a week or so is appropriate. And after I talked about you to some of my acquaintances, they went crazy saying that they would see each other… How can I go with them?”

I didn’t even ask for it, but it was said that I was doing a solicitation.

Jihyuk replied with a wide smile.

“Thank you for caring, old man.”

Ji-hyeok, who thought it was fortunate that he met such a good person for the first time after coming to Seoul, thought that perhaps his fate was not ironic.
