Transfer of Rights (1)
Lee Seulgi looked taken aback by my words.
She seemed to be thinking hard to grasp my intentions, but I could answer with certainty.
“Y-you mean…?”
“There’s no reason why not.”
“You’re not seriously planning to head there, are you?”
“If someone else blocks my path again, I’ll have no choice but to become the mastermind.”
Lee Seulgi shuddered.
That’s how relentless my actions were.
Is she going to start nagging at this point?
But surprisingly, Lee Seulgi didn’t nag at all.
“I’m glad to serve you, Chairman.”
“I’ll become an evil figure pulling the strings behind the entire world, and you’re saying you’re glad?”
“I’ll definitely make sure you get there!”
Lee Seulgi said with determination.
I didn’t particularly intend to go that far, but I wasn’t planning to refuse if the situation arose.
But Lee Seulgi says she will definitely put me in that position.
I even wondered if I was the one being led around by the nose, not Lee Seulgi.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow!”
She disappeared before I could even answer.
I immediately opened the front door.
“Daddy’s home!”
“Daddy!”
Soojung and Sua ran and hugged me.
I thought this was the joy of raising daughters.
Soojung had just been issuing orders to threaten the Russian president and receiving surrender documents, but she still looked like a child to me. In fact, she really was a child in appearance.
I received a shower of kisses after a long time.
“Did you behave yourselves?”
“Yes! Sua has mastered French!”
“Mastered it?”
“I can’t lose to my sister!”
The rate of brain development of Sua, who will soon be two years old, was beyond imagination.
I’m surprised every time I see her.
Soojung glares at Sua with fierce eyes.
“But you still can’t beat this great sister, can you?”
“Who knows?”
“…….”
Good grief.
I’m confused whether I’m raising children or raising adolescent girls.
A delicious smell filled the house.
“You’re here?”
Lisa, as beautiful as ever, ran over wearing an apron.
When we were newlyweds, just seeing her in an apron would get my blood pumping. But now that we have daughters, there’s nothing I can do.
“Did anything happen?”
“Of course not. I’m enjoying a life of luxury these days thanks to you.”
“You’ll be enjoying luxury forever from now on, so don’t worry about money.”
“Hehe. Of course.”
I wash my hands and sit at the table.
My wife is still diligently moving around.
She made enough food to break the table herself. Lisa thought that was her duty as a wife.
Cooking is fine.
But shouldn’t she not have to do housework by herself now?
“Let’s move to a house. And let’s hire help.”
“It’s okay for now. I’ll call you when it becomes too difficult for me to manage.”
“Okay. Then let’s eat.”
“Thank you for your hard work coming here.”
“It’s nothing. It wasn’t a big deal.”
Coming home, I felt a sense of living.
This is exactly the feeling.
As the old saying goes, a man can only do great things when he has a family.
As darkness fell, I went for a walk with Lisa.
Soojung and Sua were busy with their own things and playing well.
The two daughters began to acquire knowledge competitively. I have no idea how they will change in a few years.
I hold my wife’s hand and walk down the street.
When should I bring up the story?
I was timing it, but my wife brought up the children’s story.
“It’s amazing to see the kids grow up. All the kids are geniuses.”
“You’re a genius too, aren’t you?”
“What are you talking about? I’m just a woman with ordinary intelligence.”
Is that really so?
My wife also had an excellent brain. She had been living as if she wasn’t until now, but that was because I was too stupid to notice.
I just didn’t realize it because of my wife’s amazing consideration.
Now that my head is starting to clear, I realized that all of my wife’s actions so far have been considerate.
“It’s better not to give gifted education. Gifted education is literally a way to educate gifted children. It’s useless unless you give genius education.”
“So we should send them to school to make a lot of friends. Knowledge is everywhere on the internet, so they’ll be able to acquire it sufficiently.”
There was no need to buy encyclopedias like before.
It was a world where you could find out everything you were curious about with a quick search on your phone. I couldn’t have imagined it when I was young.
I didn’t even know what the internet was when I was Soojung’s age.
As expected, our couple’s topic was children.
In the end, we decided to raise the children normally. And we said that we should respect any choices they make.
As we walked, we got thirsty and looked for a cafe.
There was also some intention.
Because I had to talk about rights.
“Lisa. Can I talk about something a little sensitive?”
“Of course.”
“You acquired the rights to the Sewoon Line in England last time, right?”
“Yes.”
“Can I have those rights transferred to me?”
I struggled to bring up the story in my own way.
My wife didn’t really like the things related to the Cotton family.
But now my wife’s heart was lighter than before. I thought it was probably because she had put down a lot of baggage.
“Of course. Everything I have is yours.”
“Lisa.”
Sparks flew from my eyes for the first time in a while.
The kids are grown up, so even if we go in late, nothing special will happen.
The next morning.
I had been on a business trip for a few days, so I decided to take a day off today and rest.
That’s what I told the company, but it wasn’t like I had nothing to do. Rather, I took a day off because of important work.
Securing the rights to the Sewoon Line.
A huge amount of bonds and antiques are found on the Sewoon Line in England. If you get your hands on a certificate of rights that doesn’t even have taxes on it, you can get your hands on the funds to acquire the Musk Group.
Of course, there was bound to be noise as it was a way of laundering hundreds of trillions of won by force.
The antiques are ostensibly sold to Calvern, and the proceeds are paid directly to Randel, the majority shareholder of the Musk Group.
If hundreds of trillions of won go to Randel, he will have to launder the money again, and it will be impossible to launder it through the Sewoon Line.
Of course, we can find another way at that time.
The first thing to do was to transfer the rights to the Sewoon Line from Lisa to me.
We were married, but I was not royalty, so Lisa had the rights to the Sewoon Line.
There was also a way to launder money through Lisa, but for the sake of stable company management in the future, it was better for me to take the rights.
To solve this problem, we need connections with the British government and an international lawyer.
Since I owned the M Group, I could force connections, but that would require a considerable price.
Then the smartest way was to ask someone with connections.
I had trained with Soojung yesterday at dawn, and now all the family members were sleeping.
I went outside for a while and took a walk while calling James.
It’s 6 a.m. in Korea, so it’s 9 p.m. in England. It’s not James’ bedtime yet.
-Oh, who is this? Is this son-in-law Lee?
“Uncle-in-law. It’s been a while. How have you been?”
-Haha! I’m the same as always.
“Is everything okay?”
-Should I say that the atmosphere has calmed down a bit since my sister died? I’ve joined the board of directors this time. This is a heavy burden on my shoulders.
He says he has become a director of the Lion Group, which is run by the Cotton family.
He was promoted, so it might be a little easier.
The Lion Group and the British political world were closely related.
Since the Lion Group accounted for a significant portion of British tax revenue, it was impossible to say that there was no end to the government.
I couldn’t bring up the main point right away, so I was listening to James’ story.
The position he held was Managing Director.
It was literally the position of the company’s second-in-command, and thanks to that, he was so busy that he didn’t have enough time.
The Lion Group also had more than 20 affiliates, and it would take more than 24 hours a day to manage them all.
-By the way, I’m hearing about you here. How on earth did you acquire the M Group? It’s really mysterious.
“I guess my luck is finally turning.”
-Is that just a little bit of luck turning? M Group’s sales are enormous. It’s not the world’s number one luxury brand for nothing, is it?
And we move on to business stories.
Now is the time.
Since the business story came out, I could also talk about the Sewoon Line.
“Uncle-in-law. I’m in the process of acquiring several companies, and this time, a treasure ship exploration company came out at a good price, so I’m thinking of acquiring it.”
-Treasure ship exploration? Hey. That’s like chasing ghosts. If you’re lucky enough to find a treasure ship, it’s a jackpot, but there are many cases where you get nothing. These days, operators are giving up treasure hunting and switching to other industries, right?
“Hmm. I’m not just trying to explore treasure ships, I’m trying to explore the Sewoon Line.”
-Huh? Really? The Sewoon Line is really chasing ghosts.
“Anyway, I’m going to try it. But there’s one problem here.”
-What’s the problem?
“To raise investors, the certificate of rights to the Sewoon Line must be with me.”
-Investors? But who’s investing?
“I just have some connections, so there are acquaintances who say they’re going to invest with half a gambling spirit.”
-Hmm. There shouldn’t be any problems? Lisa’s money is all your money. Joint ownership of the couple. Don’t you know?
“That’s true, but I want to change the rights to me in order to persuade them.”
-Have you talked to Lisa?
“She lightly agreed. Isn’t it a right that doesn’t exist anyway?”
-That’s true.
James thought for a moment and said as if it was nothing.
-Betting with half a gamble. Rich people have elegant hobbies. Are you betting on 1% probability?
“You can think of it that way.”
-I don’t know who it is, but your investors shouldn’t gamble. But they’re spending innocent money. Haha! Anyway, it’s not a difficult task.
“Really?”
-Who am I? I’m the Managing Director of the Lion Group. I’ll even give you government permission and an international lawyer.”
“Thank you!”
-What. You made a decision last time so my sister could go comfortably. We were in a terrible relationship, but I still regretted it when she died. If it wasn’t for you, I would have regretted it even more. This is nothing.”
As expected, it was James.
If I had asked other people in the Cotton family for help, they would have glared at me.
I was already trying to refresh my image, but from the Cotton family’s point of view, I would still look like a young oriental man with black hair.
I hung up the phone with a light heart.
If James steps in, the rights will definitely be transferred.
“Then shall we start laundering money?”
