Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 422

After listening to Hyunjoo noona’s words, the thought did not leave my head.

She has been dating Ellie for quite some time, and she now lives with her and sees her face to face every day. In a way, it’s like being married, and while others think so, the actual marriage is another matter.

“It’s marriage… … .”

In fact, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about marriage for a while. Her mother also urged her to hurry up if she was going to get married anyway.

Ellie is three years older than me. She may have thought she was seriously thinking about getting married in the first place.

Hearing my words, Taek-gyu nodded his head for nothing.

“Hmm, my friend is old enough to think about getting married. How can a middle school student who used to sting his nose become so big now? I am happy with everything.”

“… … Even then, I didn’t bleed my nose.”

And why are you happy?

“I fell in love with my older sister and went to my house together after school, it felt like yesterday.”

“Stop talking about that!”

How long do you keep selling people’s first love stories?

“Can’t you see I’m serious now?”

“You can just get married. What are you thinking about?”

“What will you do if I get married?”

“What should I do?”

“Are you going to live alone?”

“Huh? Weren’t we still living together after we got married?”

“… … .”

First of all, he is a stumbling block in my marriage.

However, there is a really big problem that cannot be compared with this.

“what is that?”

“It’s the ability I have.”

“Foresight?”

“Huh. If I get married, shouldn’t I tell Ellie?”

Taehyung was surprised.

“What?”

He’s the only one who knows that I have foresight. Believe it or not, the fewer people you know about this, the better.

“What about the hero hiding his powers?”

“How long are you going to hide?”

“Do I have to tell you?”

“How would you feel if I hid this ability from you?”

Taek-gyu thought for a moment, and then he said.

“Hmm, are you going to be disappointed? I feel like I have been betrayed.”

“Is that so?”

I made numerous investments and saved America from crisis. And even now, he is regarded as an outstanding investor and an American hero. But, as you know, it is all thanks to his foresight.

If you think about it, it’s an incredible ability.

I don’t have the confidence to explain what kind of ability this is, and I have nothing to say about hiding it.

How will Ellie react when she finds out the truth?

“Besides, you lied a lot.”

“So that’s the problem.”

While others were studying hard to get a perfect score, I got a perfect score after seeing the correct answer with Yeji. Fortunately, this is an investment.

If it is a test, there will be moral problems, but an investment is okay. Whether you’ve mobilized all your financial engineering and analysis or thrown a dart to shoot, if you get it right, you make money, and if you get it wrong, you lose money. It’s not like I’m really competing with anyone else.

The problem is that I lied as if I did well because I studied hard rather than that I did well on the test with intelligence.

Startup investment, Brexit, Big One, Nishida Securities order mistake, TWR, Saemangeum development, etc.

I have invested in what I saw as foresight, and wrapped it up for other reasons and explained it plausibly. It’s not just hiding the fact that he has the ability, he’s actively deceiving him.

“Can’t we just keep talking?”

Of course, I thought so too at first.

However… … .

“It’s always cheating after all. If you’re not going to hide it until you die, wouldn’t it be right to tell it at least before you get married?”

“why?”

“Because getting married means trusting the other person.”

Marriage is a social contract, accompanied by responsibilities and rights.

So far, I have signed numerous contracts. And hundreds of billions and trillions of won moved on that single contract.

Compared to these contracts, marriage is more important, not less.

Taek-gyu blinked his eyes as if he didn’t understand.

“Is that enough?”

“lets think. To put it bluntly, what would happen if I died in an accident or disease?”

From the moment they get married, even people they didn’t know anything about until yesterday become friends who share each other’s property and future.

My mother is the heir to my wealth, which previously amounted to hundreds of trillions of won. However, from the moment they get married, Eli will become the first heir.

Do you really need to get married in the first place if you don’t even have faith to tell the truth?

And if she finds out that her partner doesn’t trust her, will she ever be able to convince Ellie?

Taek-gyu heard my story and nodded.

“Hmm, this is more complicated than I thought.”

“Because it is.”

How the hell am I supposed to say it?

Taek-gyu seemed comforting and patted my shoulder and said.

“OK. You have a lot of money.”

“… … turn it off.”

Of course, it wasn’t comforting at all.

He sighed to himself and continued to ponder, Taek-gyu said.

“But isn’t there one important thing missing from this story?”

“what?”

Taek-gyu looked at me and asked.

“Are you going to marry Ellie?”

“Ah… … .”

You haven’t asked that yet.

Upon arriving at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Henry walked out after completing his immigration procedures.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom was waiting in front of the airport. The staff opened the door and Henry got into the car.

The car headed to Golden Gate headquarters on Wall Street. When I arrived at the headquarters, I saw people in suits walking through the front door at a fast pace.

Henry went up to the CEO’s office. There sat an old gentleman with glasses and a suit. His name is James C. Goldman. He is Henry’s grandfather and CEO of Golden Gate.

“long time no see.”

“It was hard to come.”

James looked at Henry with a curious expression.

“The wedding is coming up, how do you feel?”

Henry laughed.

“I think I am the happiest man in the world.”

James burst out laughing at his grandson’s words.

“You can see how happy he is just by looking at his face.”

At first, I was surprised to hear that they had a baby between them.

However, Oh Hyun-joo was not lacking in making her the daughter-in-law of the Goldman family. She gave birth to her great-grandchildren, who would pass on to her family, so she was truly blessed.

James patted Henry on the shoulder.

“I sent him to Korea to learn a job, but he came back after finding the most important thing.”

* * *

As Oh Hyun-joo is the general manager of Golden Gate and the third-largest shareholder of the OTK Company, her name is also well known on Wall Street.

Until now, his husband was only known as an American who worked for the OTK Company, but this time, as he was preparing for the wedding, it was revealed for the first time that he was a member of the Goldman family.

The public could not hide their surprise that Henry was the grandson of Golden Gate CEO.

Henry and James traveled all over New York City, meeting and saying hello to financiers and politicians and inviting them to their weddings.

Leading commercial and investment banking executives, large-capital investors, and politicians, including the governor and mayor of New York, congratulated the wedding and announced that they would make time to attend the wedding.

As he and his grandson were having dinner together, James alluded to.

“In the meantime, I think you have had enough rest. When do you plan to start taking succession classes? Seeing that Chase guy retired and playing around, I can’t wait any longer.”

James has grown Golden Gate into the world’s largest investment bank. But he felt he wasn’t as capable as he used to be.

He said that not keeping pace with the changing times meant falling behind. So he was slowly weighing the timing of his retirement.

The hardest thing for him to get into a position is to step down. Fortunately, he has a strong grandson to follow in his footsteps.

‘Is all that remains to be done now is to hand over everything and rest?’

Taking succession classes meant returning to New York, where he was headquartered.

When Henry hesitated to answer, James smiled kindly.

“If it’s your family, you don’t have to worry. He’s got someone to take over as president of Korea, and he’s also set up a position as Chief Investment Officer for the stock division for Jessica.”

If Hyeonju had heard this in person, he would have been surprised.

Even though Korea is the 11th largest economy in the world, it is not comparable to the United States. The US has a GDP more than 12 times higher than that of Korea, and as it is the center of global finance, the amount of moving capital is several times there.

Therefore, it was a shocking promotion to become the stock manager of the headquarters from the head of the Korean branch.

After thinking for a moment, Henry carefully opened his mouth.

“My grandfather always said that someone with talent should sit as CEO of Golden Gate. Are you still thinking about it?”

James nodded his head.

“Of course. I chose you as my heir, not because he was my grandson, but because I thought I had the power to do so.”

At those words, Henry put on a face as if he had made up his mind.

“Then I will not be the CEO of Golden Gate.”

“… … what?”

For a moment, James wondered if he had heard it wrong.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What did you say now?”

He was, of course, the grandson he considered to be the lumber that would succeed him. He wasn’t forced. Henry chose it himself, and he has been walking towards that goal ever since.

Golden Gate is a huge investment bank that plays an important role in global finance as well as in the United States. Even a single word or report can shake up the global economy.

But I’m going to decline the position.

“Why? Please tell me why in a convincing way.”

“Because there is someone who suits the position better than me. For the future of Golden Gate, I think it is right for him to sit down.”

If that’s the case, James knows one too.

“Are you talking about Kang Jin-hoo?”

“no. This is Oh Hyun-joo.”

James frowned at the unexpected answer.

“I hope I didn’t cloud my judgment because I fell in love.”

Henry shook his head resolutely.

“It’s true that I’m in love, but I’m not foolish enough to judge a project because of it.”

“Isn’t that what Jessica asked for?”

“She doesn’t even know I’m thinking like this. It’s just something I’ve been watching and coming to for a long time.”

Henry spoke in a more confident voice.

“My grandfather taught me. A good investment is to use people well, and to get people who are better than you to work in the right places. That’s why I want to make Hyun-joo Jeon the CEO of Golden Gate. She doesn’t fit the position better than her.”

He is the CEO and has been receiving frequent reports about Oh Hyun-joo.

She joined the Golden Gate headquarters as a trader and, in recognition of her skills, moved to Asia, where she worked in the M&A sector, and on strong recommendation from Chase Southwell, she became a newly created became the branch manager of the Korean branch.

If she becomes CEO, she will be the first Golden Gate employee to rise to the top of the list.

The basic policy of American companies is that they do not discriminate against race, gender or nationality as long as they have the ability. But how many companies can put it into practice?

In particular, the financial world is a conservative group. If an Asian woman becomes the CEO in a place like this, what will people think?

I don’t know, but there will be many people who will evaluate it positively.

Not to mention the work ability. Although the Korean branch is new, it is generating the highest rate of return between the main city and the branch.

Above all, Oh Hyun-joo is the third-largest shareholder of OTK Company and the older sister of the second-largest shareholder. Kang Jin-hoo also believes in her and follows her.

As it is now, given the impact the OTK Company will have on the global economy in the future, becoming CEO may be her best bet for Golden Gate.

In addition, Oh Hyun-joo is now a member of the Goldman family. There was no reason not to make her his successor.

James felt the shock as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’

It may be that he was engulfed in the thought that he had already appointed a successor and that he was Asian and that he was a woman, so he could not see it properly.

In a way, the grandson made the right decision.

“If you take Jessica as your successor, what do you plan to do in the future?”

Henry said proudly.

“I want to help Hyun-joo in every way to lead Golden Gate well. He includes taking care of the children.”
