Episode 105 Growing Pains (3)

“I will make a contract.”

let me say

Im Jin-ho’s expression was colored with joy.

It was surprising to see the real-time change from tension, nervousness, and anxiety to surprise and joy.

How happy is it that your expression changes so clearly?

As the pie is quite large, the brokerage fee he receives must also be an amount that cannot be ignored, so it was understandable that he made such an expression.

“Teacher. Oh no, boss. When do you think such a contract date is?”

I was so happy that even the title changed automatically.

I looked at him and opened his mouth.

“The sooner the better.”

Hearing my words, he nodded.

Then he opened his mouth with a look full of enthusiasm.

“That’s right. Then, I will talk to the owner of the building as soon as possible and set up a contract. In the meantime, the owner of the building has been holding on to a building that is not for sale, so he will want to sign a contract as soon as possible.”

He said he would meet the owner of the building as soon as possible to set a contract date.

He must not be able to miss this opportunity, so the desire to make the contract a success before any other words were revealed on his face.

However.

As I listened to him, there were a few things that caught my eye.

A building that has not been sold for a long time.

building owner.

I want to sell as soon as possible.

Well. By using these keywords to the fullest, this contract seemed to be able to proceed on more favorable terms.

As I organized my thoughts, I flew my luck.

“By the way, how much did you say earlier?”

Then Lim Jin-ho opened his mouth with a slightly trembling expression.

“Ah yes. As I said before, the amount has dropped a bit and is set at around 1.9 billion won. Originally, it was not a building that was supposed to receive this amount of money… but it was about to become a contract several times, and then it collapsed, so the market price dropped a lot.”

Then he glanced into my eyes and spoke.

“Actually, there is room for lower prices. The fact that the building has been vacant for a long time cannot be ignored. Perhaps the owner of the building wants to get it done as quickly as possible.”

He seemed to think that I was burdened with the price of the property.

Actually, it wasn’t a bad idea.

The money I’ve earned so far. So hermit crab academy and Jaesu academy income, internet broadcasting. When we add up the book royalties, the amount we could afford was only about 2 billion won.

It was a huge change compared to just two years ago, when I was living on a monthly salary of around 2 million won.

However, it could not be seen as a generous amount.

In addition to the money to acquire the academy building, considering the interior costs and other equipment costs, a certain amount of extra money was essential.

So, if there was something that could be saved, I had to save it as much as possible.

I slowly opened my mouth to organize my thoughts.

“Then how long can it be?”

Then Lim Jin-ho answered with a nervous expression.

“If I try to talk as much as possible, I think maybe 50,000 or 100 million … is possible. Apparently, the interior of an academy building is a bit unusual, so there are only a few jobs that can be dedicated.”

Then he looked at me with worried eyes, wondering if he would overturn my contract.

I shook my head with a thoughtful expression for a moment.

In the meantime, Im Jin-ho, unable to withstand his impatience, opened his mouth again.

“boss. If the price is a little burdensome, I’ll try to lower the price a little by grabbing the owner’s pants crotch, so signing a contract this time…”

When I turned my head slightly, I saw Im Jin-ho’s hardened face.

At this point, the water seemed to have risen properly.

I slowly opened my mouth.

“The broker.”

“Yes?”

“If I buy this building, how much does the commission fall to the broker?”

Then Lim Jin-ho’s expression hardened.

Well, in some ways, talking about fees at this point may sound like a request to lower your fees.He looked at me with a disappointed expression for a moment, then sighed as if he had given up and opened his mouth.

“After all, since it’s over 900 million won, the legal maximum is 0.9%…but this 0.9% is really the highest limit, so I’m satisfied with just 0.7% or 0.5%. So···.”

Looking at that expression, he seemed to want to sign this contract even by lowering his commission rate.

However.

What I was aiming for was not such a trivial thing.

I opened my mouth with a friendly expression on my face.

“How would you like to see this? If the broker works hard and brings the purchase price down to 1.8 billion won or less, I will set the brokerage fee to 0.9%. Of course, the standard amount is 1.9 billion won, which is the current amount.”

For a moment, he looked at me with a surprised expression.

Obviously, I said earlier that it was possible to lower the amount by 500 to 100 million with my own words.

But that doesn’t mean it can’t be completely spread.

“instead. If it is 1.85 billion won, we will pay 0.7%, and if we cannot drop even one from 1.9 billion won, we will pay only 0.5% as the broker mentioned earlier. How are you?”

I put a simple limit on it.

Then he puts on a worried expression.

He probably doesn’t know, but a lot of thoughts are running through his head right now.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars were at stake for a simple answer.

In the meantime, Im Jin-ho continues to ponder over his worries.

I lifted my head and looked at Eunsol.

OK.

Eunsol, who had come out from one side and was listening to Im Jin-ho’s conversation, was smiling brightly.

‘Good job.’

Although he couldn’t hear his voice, he certainly seemed to be saying that.

I nodded her head to her.

Then I looked at Jinho Im again.

In fact, the proposal I made to Jin-Ho Lim was beneficial to both me and him.

For me, it was good that the broker could broker with the greatest possible motivation, and it was a good opportunity to receive commissions that he could not have imagined.

‘Of course, in terms of the size of the profit, I am bigger.’

Even if the contract was signed for less than 1.8 billion won, the total fee I would pay him was only 17.1 million won.

It is a very small amount compared to my money that will be saved due to Jinho Im’s efforts.

It was a way to bring maximum results with minimum investment.

“after.”

After finishing his thoughts, Jinho Lim looked at me and opened his mouth.

“Trust me. No matter what happens, I will drop it below 1.8 billion.”

It was a voice with a burning will.

After all, there seemed to be nothing that strengthens a human being more than creating a justification for working hard.

I smiled softly and told him.

“sure. I believe you will work hard.”

Then he nodded her head with a firm expression.

It was a face that showed the will to do it anyway.

But after a while.

“I···.”

He opened his mouth with a slightly awkward expression, as if his former firm attitude had disappeared.

Let’s look at him as if why am I like this.

“Then how are you going to pay?”

He brought up a nonsensical story.

“Perhaps you do not have any loans, so you do not need to worry about the succession of loans. But I think it will be helpful to persuade the landlord to know in advance how you will make the payment.”

he said scratching his head.

Ah, that’s when I understood.

After all, there were people who didn’t like to get a loan and decorate the documents.

Of course, from the perspective of the building owner, it was a good sale to get rid of it quickly, but it was still something I didn’t know.

Because the ideas of the rich are always beyond imagination.

Then there was only one way.

How to not say anything from the owner of the building.

That’s right.

“I pay all in cash.”

Then they both looked at me with a surprised expression.

* * *

one month later.

We were able to successfully purchase the school building.

Of course, the school building itself was strong because it was built with great care when it was first built.

It had been empty for a long time, and the basic interior itself was too old-fashioned, so overall remodeling was essential.

These days, besides just teaching well, it was also important to know how well the study environment was set up and how professional the interior was.

So, after researching several companies, I entrusted the remodeling to the company with the best reputation.And today.

It's been a week since the interior company started construction.

I stopped by the old Jeongbon Academy for a while to deliver snacks to the people who were under construction.

I entered the temporary office made of containers in front of the academy with both hands full of kettle and drinks.

OK.

“Hey, boss, are you here? If you had contacted me about this first, we would have sorted things out a bit.”

The foreman of the site ran out on his heels and said.

Looking at the pen in his hand, it looked like he was doing some paperwork.

He nodded lightly and opened his mouth.

“Ah, I stopped by because I had work nearby. I bought you some snacks, so you can eat them.”

“Anything else like this? Don't worry, we'll take care of it even if you don't give it to us. It must be a lot of work, but it is very burdensome to take care of you like this every time.”

The foreman smiled awkwardly.

However, it didn't seem like he didn't like the way he looked at the snacks I brought.

I smiled and looked at him.

Originally, working on a construction site wasn't something that ended just by paying money.

Just like rice grows by hearing the footsteps of farmers.

It was the law of the building to climb wildly only by listening to the owner's footsteps a lot.

So, if the owner often visits and buys snacks and doesn't pay attention to whether the construction is going well, the building will be damaged.

‘Well, how many snacks do you buy? It’s not that difficult.’

Of course, I've been busy with work, so I haven't been able to come for a few days, but I'm pretty diligent.

But then.

Something strange caught my eye.

Busy people coming and going.

The edge of the academy that takes off its old form and transforms into a clean look.

In the place where the materials were stocked, an item that should not be there caught my eye.

I looked at the foreman.

Then I saw the back of the site director putting the snacks I brought into the refrigerator.

He quietly left his seat and walked towards the yard.

Obviously I could have been looking at it wrong.

However.

My prediction was not wrong.

It is secretly hidden in one side of the yard.

'Cheap material.'

It was something I had seen countless times while I was working part-time at a construction site in college.

I was shocked when I found it.

Obviously, when I entrusted the interior, it was because I had ordered the interior to be made using the highest quality materials.

As I thought, I was in the mood to ask the field manager about this issue right now.

However.

‘If that happens, the scene will be all-stop right away.’

Considering the situation of hermit crab academy, which is already oversaturated, we had to finish the remodeling and open the academy as soon as possible.

But at this rate, even if I complained, I had to continue the boring fight.

Of course, since I broke the contract here, I will win in the end.

It wasn't the win or loss that mattered, but the speed.

So to solve this problem, I needed a professional, not an amateur like me.

A person with enough strength to shut the mouths of those who have committed infidelity at once.

I needed someone like that.

And fortunately, I knew one such person.

I picked up my phone and looked for the number.

And as soon as I found the phone number of the person I was thinking of, I immediately pressed the call button.

Then after a while.

[Hey! Long time no see, my lord! So, what did you call all about? Can you buy me a bowl of senior makgeolli?]

An angry voice rang out from over the receiver.
