Wall Street of the third generation chaebol

Chapter 12

＜ DWM. (2) >

After the technology agreement and the North American Continental Business Rights contract were signed with DWM, things went smoothly from then on. Loewe returned to the German Empire, leaving behind a few DWM gunsmiths to share technology.

“James, are these companies?”

“Yes, this is a list of gun companies that went bankrupt on the New York Stock Exchange.”

By signing a technical agreement with DWM, DWM does not provide technicians to fill the factory.

We had to recruit gun technicians for the factory, so we chose to take over all the bankrupt gun companies at a bargain price.

“The money that went into buying 20 bankrupt gun companies was only $10,000 in court lobbies. That sounds like a bad joke.”

“Even if we hadn’t been lobbying, companies with only debt would have wanted to liquidate as soon as possible. In addition, the $10,000 lobbying funds were used for debt relief.”

“So ten thousand dollars?”

This was the current address of the US capital market.

A financial market run by judicial lobbies and scammers. DWM’s Loewe praised him as the second-largest financier after City of London, but at this point, New York’s Wall Street was barbaric.

Bubbling in the City of London, at least after World War I and the frenzy of the 20s, was bullshit.

A bitter laugh came out.

James handed me the papers.

“We even completed the factory remodeling work that the master instructed.”

“How is the conveyor belt running?”

“Working with DWM’s gunsmiths, the conveyor belt itself works well…”

“but?”

I took my eyes off the papers and looked at James. With a slightly perplexed expression, James cautiously held out one of the documents.

“It seems to have touched the hearts of the gunsmiths of DWM. They complained that the defect rate would soar if they produced with such a belt, and that a craftsman was needed.”

“under! So 20 years.”

It seems that it was Loewe’s calculation in its own way.

I guess I expected that it would take a long time to raise a gunsmith, and I thought I was going to get rid of the money for 20 years.

Such a naughty and sinister mustache child.

‘I met you properly.’

burst into laughter.

A taste of the great twentieth-century Fordism mass production will make you feel like you’ve been covered in cold water.

“Ignore it. After all, technology sharing is a matter specified in the contract, right? If you force it from the other side, we’ll sue you. No other country is as litigious as the United States.”

“I think a puppet can rip off the reparations.”

“uh.”

I frowned and read the documents.

“James. Have you finished the hedge fund separation?”

“Yes, it is divided into Class 0 with personal funds and S class with $10 million in funds from early investors.”

“great. In the future, whenever additional funds are raised, class A, class B, and so on.”

“A class fund, will you announce the recruitment?”

“no. Let’s finish the DWM thing first and think about it. If you overdo it, it won’t be rectified.”

“That is also true.”

James nodded politely.

I stared intently at James.

“James. I will keep my father silent about the contract for the time being.”

“…… Master, the president is not someone who doesn’t know that I am talking about it. I’m afraid you’ll be offended by the fact that I’m hiding it.”

“Don’t be angry. Don’t worry, I’ll take care if James gets fired. I can afford to take responsibility for up to one of you.”

I fixed my posture and sat down.

James was an indispensable talent in the process of eating JP Morgan Bank.

“This DWM thing, you asked for and put it in my inbox, right? I’ve known him since he introduced me to Lloyd’s career.”

“……!!!”

“Ttt, if you want to hide it from me, hide it properly. Does it make sense to know such detailed information about DWM when you have just received the investment proposal?”

“……”

James pursed his lips as if he had been electrocuted by lightning.

I smiled bitterly.

“Thank you.”

“……!”

“I am well aware that you are working hard in many ways in places where I cannot see you. I also know that the 10 million dollars raised in the hedge fund is the result of your hard work. Is there any particular reason why 10 lucky letters came out of your arms? All of them must have been received by investors who read their lucky letter.”

“…you knew it all.”

“If you don’t even notice it, you have to hit it. Where can I work? So, about the contract, please keep him quiet for the time being.”

“Is it meant to stand on the side of the master…?”

James hardened his face.

I shrugged.

“For now, you can just do a hamgoon. I’m not that quick-tempered either.”

“All right. Chairman Morgan will be silent for the time being. Instead, if you are fired, you should hire me. I have nowhere to go.”

“I swear.”

He burst into laughter inwardly.

The former Lloyd’s Insurance graduate had nowhere to go, but it was overkill.

“Then I will go out for a while.”

“Are you going alone?”

“I was supposed to meet Chris at Waldorf-Astoria. You don’t have to worry about it because you don’t go far. Instead, I have work to do.”

I held out James’ business card with the hedge fund logo on it.

“Mobilize prestigious universities and personal connections to gather talented people for hedge funds.”

“How many do you think there are?”

“The M&A department needs two people for each position, three or four analysts, and two traders for each position. However, it is more important to see the company than to have trading skills. Last but not least, three or four directors to be dispatched to the acquired companies.”

“Has confirmed.”

James busily jotted down a fountain pen on a notepad spread out in the palm of his hand, then ripped it open and picked up the receiver on his desk.

However, there is one thing you need to know about action.

“I will go.”

Putting on a suit coat hanging on a hanger, I walked out of the hedge fund office.

***

Late January 1898.

New York State.

Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

The hotel’s drawing room.

Chris was waiting for me in a luxurious room full of luxurious decorations and antique furniture.

“Morgan, maybe vacation is a blessing from God. The god Vacation, born in December, saves students from the satanic demon called Mathematics.”

“What kind of vacation is Jesus? Then he is captured by a heretic inquisitor named Frank.”

“It’s not that scary. Ebebe.”

“…our poor Frank.”

profit-

I expressed deep regret to the postal geek who was somewhere in New York’s Hyde Park. How much did you suffer while you were in Groton?

I crossed my legs and poured Coke into a glass.

“Chris, why did you call me?”

“Morgan, I heard rumors that you bought a gun company. You bought 20 bankrupt gun companies at a bargain price and merged them? Should I say Morgan? You’re making a major firearms company in an instant.”

drop.

I stopped pouring Coke.

“……Where else did you hear that?”

Have you checked the court records?

James was given a M&A mission, and it was carried out quite secretly. The trial was held secretly so as not to leak to the media, so is there any lawyer you know around?

Chris said ecstatically.

“Am I the Irish Mafia? You’re quick to talk about gun companies in the US. If you cross a bridge, everyone knows.”

“……Kris. So what’s the point?”

Since there is no mention of DWM, it seems that they do not even know the contents of the DWM contract. Are you thinking of placing an order for a gun company you’ve acquired?

If you are a guest, you are welcome.

thud.

Chris placed the black briefcase he had brought in advance on the table.

Click.

When the briefcase was opened, it contained dozens of pistols and a few rifles. Chris pushed the briefcase towards me.

“The kind of guns you bought from the company you acquired. In the arms deal, trust comes first, so you brought credible evidence.”

“…there are quite a lot of products from small and medium-sized businesses, right? There was no war against any country.”

“right. War.”

drop.

My hand stopped looking at the gun. I slowly lifted my head and looked up at Chris.

Chris looked at me with an unusually serious face.

“Since you took over those gun companies, I came here because I thought I should tell you the truth. Those companies, sort of off-the-shelf companies.”

“…a offshore company.”

“Uh, an offshore company used as a window for exporting weapons to Ireland.”

Sum 🤩

I felt goosebumps running down my back. Offshore companies, exporting weapons on a scale to war against the country, to Ireland?

Unfortunately, I can only think of one use.

“……Kris.”

“Morgan, Chris Collins. That’s my name.”

“……!!”

Collins.

Looking at the history of the modern Irish war of independence, one of the great men in the beginning of the independence fighters who appear in the top row, and the first head of the Irish independent armed group IRA.

The family of Michael Collins.

‘But Michael Collins was born in 1890, so he must not have been even 9 years old yet, so should the Collins family itself be related to the independence movement?’

“By the way, can I tell you this, Chris?”

“I can’t help it. Morgan, it’s because you wiped out our family’s arms dealer and merged it.”

“ah…..”

I’m sure Chris had something to do with the Irish independence movement. Considering that 10 years later, when the Korean Empire entered the Japanese occupation period, I felt a strong affinity for Chris.

“…that’s great. So, are all the funds you entrusted to me part of the independent fund?”

“right. We brought in the funds of the independence movement to be with the Collins family. Originally, this kind of deal was made by my parents, but since you took over, my best friend came out. And I’m sorry, but the reason the Collins family invested their independent money in a hedge fund was because your last name was Morgan.”

“No, no need to be sorry. Most investors in hedge funds would have thought so.”

I stopped talking and pondered.

If Chris is an Irish independence movement force, it is not bad to provide weapons for free. Of course, the greatest desire is to help the independence movement with the spirit of communion. From a commercial point of view, we also needed a medium to promote our weapons.

‘Besides, Ireland is a good card in terms of losses and gains in international diplomacy.’

However, if you look at it from the eyes of a merchant, the Irish armed independence force can be a good card against the British Empire. Soon after the end of the Belle Epoque and the beginning of World War II, it will spur the downfall of the British Empire.

The Irish armed independence force is a good card to haunt them.

It would be a headache if we found out that we were directly supporting it.

We plan to smuggle them through offshore companies from various countries, so you can be offended that we didn’t supply weapons directly.

‘Ireland in the 21st century is a financial powerhouse that exceeds the UK in GDP per capita. Of course, as it is a tax haven, most of the funds are from overseas, but like Korea, it has potential.’

Ireland was a country with a sense of unity in many ways.

“In view of the fact that the United States is also sharing the history of the War of Independence, and the Korean Empire, my mixed race, is struggling with the beasts of the Japanese Empire, I cannot ignore it. Weapons of the independence movement, I will support you free of charge.”

“no.”

Chris bluntly rejected my offer.

“When we ship weapons to Ireland, we will smuggle a lot of them. We also need legal means in case we get caught at US Customs.”

“ah.”

“If there is a justification for buying American-made firearms and exporting them to Ireland, the US customs will pass it over with a blind eye. Should I say that it is like a capitalist country?”

Chris chuckled.

As capitalism in the United States is a cold world without blood or tears, there were many interesting parts.

‘Are you saying you bought it anyway?’

I fixed my posture.

The Irish War of Independence is a huge customer. In fact, DWM also granted Irish business licenses to export weapons to the Irish War of Independence later, but I don’t think it would fit this well.

‘You’re lucky.’

This paved the way for mass export of firearms. I turned to the merchant’s eyes and rubbed my hands servilely.

Just order.

I’m going to pull you out with a very cool weapon.

“So, how long have you been looking for?”

“I want to buy 1.5 million dollars in advance alone, a total of 3.5 million dollars. Will it?”

“……!!!”

350 million dollars.

About 100 billion won in Hyundai Hanwha.

Half of the investment DWM exchanged for business rights in North America and Ireland.

Irish hyung, your hands are too big?

‘crazy……’
