Real Man-Chapter 746

Those simple words made Yoo-hyun’s heart race.

Thump thump.

Before he knew it, a flame was burning in his chest.

-I hope you walk the path of an investor. Whether with me or not.

Yoo-hyun muttered to himself, recalling Paul Graham’s words.

‘I think I’ll fail this test again.’

He had already turned his direction to something else.

But there was something he had to do before that.

He looked into Jeong Da-hye’s eyes, filled with anticipation, and said.

“Let’s take a break then.”

“A break?”

“We’re going to work hard for three years. Before that, let’s go to Europe together.”

“Europe?”

He explained to Jeong Da-hye, who blinked her eyes.

“It was on your bucket list, wasn’t it?”

“You remembered that?”

“Of course. Who do you think I am?”

Yoo-hyun smiled brightly.

A little later, Yoo-hyun sat on a bench on the outdoor terrace of Namsan Tower and looked at the distant scenery.

Jeong Da-hye, who was sitting next to him and looking at the same place, asked.

“Where have you been taking Doha lately?”

“Just. He seemed a bit bored.”

“Well. The employees are taking care of the development of With now. So I guess he can’t focus on the company these days. Sometimes he looks very absent-minded.”

“Did he look like that?”

“Yes. He was very different from usual.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled and looked down at Seoul.

When he was lost in thought for a moment, he felt a soft touch on his cheek.

Smooch.

“Thank you for today. For listening to my stubbornness.”

He turned his head and saw Jeong Da-hye smiling.

He felt like he could catch both rabbits of work and happiness with her.

Instead of expressing his gratitude, he raised his hand to her face.

Swoosh.

He leaned in and gently hugged her.

The sunset fell over the Seoul scenery.

Some time had passed.

Jeong Da-hye was wrapping up her work at Double Y before going on a trip to Europe.

She wouldn’t come to work every day like now when she came back from the trip. She had a lot of things to hand over.

There was something Yoo-hyun didn’t tell her.

The reason why Nadoha was unfocused and absent-minded at the company was not because he had nothing to do.

It was because he had a more shocking thing.

As shown on Yoo-hyun’s messenger window, a huge amount of money had flowed into Nadoha’s account.

The value of his 1 percent stake in Instagram was a whopping 20 billion won.

This was also the profit he got after paying all the taxes.

No matter how much bonus Nadoha had received from Double Y, it was nothing compared to this amount.

Nadoha, who had been stunned for a while, decided to entrust Yoo-hyun with his money management. And that led to the present.

How should he grow this money?

Yoo-hyun was just thinking about it for now.

Anyway, thanks to that, Nadoha had achieved economic abundance and more freedom.

And one more thing.

Nadoha was bored, but he didn’t hang out with Yoo-hyun.

He was secretly working on something else.

Yoo-hyun, who stopped by the apartment complex in Gangnam, heard his story through a phone call.

-Bro. I confirmed the operation of the CCTV video analysis system.

“Good job. What about the security card integration?”

-That’s done too. Every time you swipe the security card, your route is also self-identified.

What Nadoha was building now was a surveillance system.

It was similar to the data center that Lee Jun-il, the former manager, had used to monitor the employees.

Ironically, he was able to make the product quickly by imitating his system.

Of course, the purpose was different and the performance was upgraded.

“Is it connected to With?”

-Yes. I linked it with the surveillance bot so that you can easily check it on your phone. The uncles here will learn it soon.

“That’s good. They’re all outsiders in IT. By the way, are you okay?”

-What do you mean?

“Aren’t you wasting your time?”

-I enjoy making this kind of thing. What are you talking about? And I have to help you if it’s your work.

Nadoha was bored and liked development, but he also owed him a favor.

Yoo-hyun brought up what he had said before.

“As promised, I’ll give you some shares too.”

-Ah. I don’t care. I have a lot of money.

“Doha. You have to separate work and personal matters. And you have to get a proper evaluation for your work. Because…”

-If I lower my value, the whole industry related to me can suffer. Because they can measure other people by my standards. That’s what you’re trying to say, right?

Nadoha said it before Yoo-hyun finished his advice.

Yoo-hyun snickered.

“You know well.”

-Don’t worry. I’m only like this in front of you. I’ll never do that elsewhere. I’ll make you more proud of me.

“Kid. Good. Finish it well.”

-Yes. I got it. You’re going to meet the person who will be the representative here, right?

“Yeah. He’s almost here.”

Yoo-hyun looked up and saw the apartment scenery.

-Gangnam Central Village.

It was the apartment where Jeong Da-hye’s father, Jeong Minkyo, worked as a security guard.

Yoo-hyun went to a nearby cafe with Jeong Minkyo, who had just finished work.

They had met and drank several times before, but it was the first time they faced each other at a coffee shop.

Jeong Minkyo was curious.

“Why coffee? On a day like this, soju is the best.”

“I thought coffee would be better today.”

“You have something to say, don’t you? Is it about Da-hye?”

Jeong Minkyo looked a bit nervous.

Jeong Da-hye did contact her father, but she was still awkward.

She didn’t know that Yoo-hyun was meeting Jeong Minkyo now.

Yoo-hyun reached out his hand.

“It’s not about Da-hye.”

“Then what?”

Swoosh.

“Dad, please take a look at this document.”

“What is this? A-One?”

“Do you know what it is?”

“Of course. It’s a security service company, right?”

The first page of the document had a brief profile of the security company A-One.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, seeing that Jeong Minkyo understood quickly.

“You know well.”

“Yeah. The security guards in the apartment next to us used to work for this company. I heard they’re not doing so well now.”

“They’re almost bankrupt.”

“Right. I guess the existing companies are too dominant, so they can’t compete. But why this company?”

“I acquired it.”

Yoo-hyun’s sudden remark made Jeong Minkyo cough as if he was choked.

“Cough. What? What did you say?”

“As you said, the company was in a shaky state, so it didn’t cost much.”

“Still, that’s not easy. Acquiring a company…”

Jeong Minkyo glanced at Yoo-hyun, who was in the middle of his sentence.

He didn’t look like the rich people he often saw in the apartment, who were full of pretense. He was polite and modest.

He didn’t seem to be that wealthy from the outside. Could he be?

‘Or maybe…’

Yoo-hyun spoke first, as if he read Jeong Minkyo’s mind.

“I also got some investment funds.”

“Really? From where?”

“From the US.”

“Oh. The US… You said you had connections with a famous investor in the US.”

“You remember well what I said at the drinking party.”

“Of course. Who do you think I am? Haha.”

Jeong Minkyo took a sip of his coffee, feeling thirsty.

Then he asked Yoo-hyun.

“But why did you acquire that company?”

“Is it bad?”

“Not bad, but it seems difficult. It’s not easy for a new company to enter the apartment market.”

“In what way?”

“It’s all about connections here. No matter how good you are, it’s hard to break through the existing barriers.”

Jeong Minkyo accurately pointed out the current situation of the industry, as he had a lot of experience as a security guard.

But Yoo-hyun had a different approach.

“That would be the case if I did it the same way. But I’m not going to do that. The security company will change a lot in the future.”

“Change?”

“Take a look at the next page.”

Flip.

Jeong Minkyo muttered the contents.

“You can check the CCTV video in real time on your smartphone. If someone loiters in front of your house for more than 10 seconds, an alarm goes off…”

The document didn’t only have information about the smart CCTV system.

There were also advanced systems related to apartment management, such as visitor vehicle entry and exit notification, resident voting app, reading room facial recognition system, etc.

Yoo-hyun emphasized.

“These advanced security systems will be applied to each apartment in the future. Starting from the high-end apartments.”

“It won’t be cheap to change the system.”

“You don’t need to install a monthly pad in every house. You can use your smartphone. The sensor equipment and management factors may increase, but the maintenance fee will actually decrease.”

“Because the number of unnecessary security guards will decrease?”

“Yes. If the system is well connected, the work environment will improve. You’ll do more work inside than outside. That will increase productivity.”

As Yoo-hyun talked about the rosy future, Jeong Minkyo opened his mouth after some thought.

“Hmm. Then people won’t be needed later.”

“No. It will be transformed into a professional service job.”

“Service job?”

“Yes. As the unnecessary simple patrols decrease, you can focus more on customer service and security, which are the essence. Then your professionalism will increase, and naturally your status will also rise.”

“Status rises.”

“Yes. Your salary will increase, and the culture of being bullied by useless things will disappear. That’s how it should be.”

“I see.”

Jeong Minkyo couldn’t take his eyes off the document and nodded his head.

He seemed to have a lot of thoughts, as he had suffered a lot from dealing with the residents.

He looked at Yoo-hyun after moistening his throat with coffee.

“But why are you showing me this?”

“That’s…”

Just as he was about to ask the reason, Yoo-hyun was about to answer.

Yoo-hyun’s phone, which was on the table, rang.

Ring. Ring.

The same number that had been calling for days appeared on the screen.

‘Every time I have something important to say, this number calls me. How strange.’

By now, he wanted to answer it even if it was a spam call. But now was not the time.

Tick.

He pressed the end button and asked him instead.

“Dad, do you think the company will run well as I think?”

“If you have the system you mentioned well built, it’s not impossible. But there’s a premise.”

“What is it?”

“You have to break into an apartment as a pilot. That won’t be easy. To do that, you have to meet the apartment representatives first…”

Jeong Minkyo explained sincerely, hoping to help Yoo-hyun.

He had a lot of thoughts, so he came up with solutions without hesitation.

Each answer had a rich field experience.

Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly and opened his mouth.

“I need someone who has a lot of experience in the field.”

“That’s right. That will help.”

“In that sense, I hope you can help me.”

“Me? What?”

Yoo-hyun suggested to Jeong Minkyo, who blinked his eyes.

“Please become the representative of A-One.”

“Huh? How can I do that? Who do you think I am?”

“I can prepare the people who will build and operate the system. But I don’t have anyone I can trust to lead the company.”

“Trust?”

“Yes. I don’t know much about this field. And I can’t just put anyone as the representative.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun explained further to Jeong Minkyo, who looked flustered.

“I didn’t make this decision just because we’re close. It’s based on your career and past records.”

“When did you?”

“You drank a lot with me, remember?”

“Oh no.”

“Please help me. I want to make a company that doesn’t get bullied anymore. A company for the security guards.”

Yoo-hyun’s sincere request shook Jeong Minkyo’s eyes.
