God of Money-Chapter 103:

After he got back to his hotel room, Woosung checked his bank account.

5,121,141,000.

5.1 billion dollars.

It was the total of what he made from Apple stocks and the crude oil future.

He used the majority of the money he made from the financial crisis. It was true that more money would yield even more money.

He realized why he never made big money in his previous life. It was the lack of seed money.

He lived every living month with his meager salary in his past life. There was no way he could become what he was right now like that.

Woosung stared at the number for a long time. It was right there on the screen, but he still couldn’t believe it. However, he had much more to do. This was just the beginning of his revenge.

“I basically own MOX now, so next is Daeyang.”

Daeyang was 10 times bigger than MOX, which meant it would not be as easy.

“I need to continue working on cryptocurrency and maybe get Choi Gichul and Daeyang involved as well…But they aren’t that stupid…”

Woosung thought he may be able to get Choi Gichul with the cryptocurrency but not the entirety of Daeyang.

“Well…Let’s just continue working on the current projects.”

Woosung knew he would get a chance in the future. For now, he had to continue growing his company.

He still had to finish off Jung Jinsup.

Woosung closed his laptop. It was time to go back to Korea.

---------------------------------------------------------------

MOX Emergency Shareholder Meeting

Topic 1. Dismissal of Directors.

Topic 2. Dismissal of Auditor General.

Topic 3. Dismissal of CEO.

Topic 4. Elect a New CEO

Woosung sat as one of the many minor shareholders while Alex sat at the special seat as a major shareholder.

“We will now begin the shareholder meeting. DNK 47%, CEO Jung Hyosung 34%, Development director Kwak Mingu 1%, Chief of CS Team Oh Minjae 0.5%, and the public shareholders 17.5%.”

After the summary of shares, they began discussing the topics.

“Our first topic is the dismissal of all directors. They have been accused of neglecting MOX’s main sources of income Legend 1 and Legend 2.”

Jung Hyosung and Jung Jinsup listened with a scowl on their faces. Choi Gilak also sat nearby with a frown.

He objected, “T…the decline in sales can’t be blamed solely on the directors. All employees have equal responsibilities. Dismissing someone because of a decrease in sales is not fair.”

Choi Gilak looked around for help, but no one spoke up. He turned to Kwak Mingu for support.

“Director Kwak, please say something. Don’t you think this is unfair?”

Kwak Mingu was put on a spot. He had no choice but to speak.

“Actually, I would like to add moral hazard on top of the main reason for dismissal.”

“Pardon? W…what did you say?”

“You know this better than anyone, Director Choi.”

Woosung watched with a wry smile. He already had Alex talk to Kwak Mingu and had him included in the plan. Jung Hyosung turned to Kwak Mingu.

“Director, Kwak…How could you?”

“This is for the best. When we first started developing Legend, this wasn’t how we envisioned our futures would be. Look what happened?” Kwak Mingu continued without hesitation. “As the CEO, you have placed your useless son on a position of power. Your strategy development team chief couldn’t come up with a solution other than using an illegal master account.”

When he unexpectedly exposed the secret, Jung Hyosung gaped at him. Jung Jinsup also turned red with embarrassment. Alex watched with interest.

Jung Jinsup screamed at Kwak Mingu, “Director Kwak!”

“You are no longer my boss so you can’t scream at me anymore. I wanted to quit a long time ago, but I didn’t because I wanted to be a good employee. You barely just graduated, yet you act as if you know better than everyone. Just stop! Why do you think Battle Ground’s release has been delayed?” Kwak Mingu continued angrily. “All of our best veteran developers left because of your accusing attitude. You kept blaming them for every minute detail in the game unreasonably when you yourself didn’t even know how to program anything!”

After a brief pause, Kwak Mingu continued, “Because of you, the game couldn’t be completed. You only got your job because of your father, when in fact, you are an idiot! Who would want to work for someone like you?”

Kwak Mingu’s expression was filled with utter frustration with the purest form of anger.

“Seoul University? So what!? Is graduating from this university a good reason for you to have the right to abuse people?” Kwak Mingu turned to Jung Hyosung accusingly. “Answer me! I didn’t graduate from the best university in the country. Does that mean I deserve to be treated this way?”

Jung Hyosung answered slowly, “It’s not like that at all. I just thought young blood like my son would make the company better.”

“Then you should have done it differently. I may have graduated from a small university, but I worked very hard and I have shown my skills in game programming. Yet your young son kept treating me with disrespect.”

Jung Hyosung remained silent.

Kwak Mingu continued, “And young blood? New games? Legend may be an older game, but it still has potential. It also is the only reason why MOX is still making profits. It’s not something that needs to be thrown out, but something that needs to be remembered and respected.”

Kwak Mingu wasn’t being logical and he wasn’t well-spoken, but everyone could empathize with him. The moderator tried to calm him down.

“Umm…Let’s take a deep breath. I think we should start the voting process now.”

Alex raised his hand, followed by Kwak Mingu.

“DNK’s representative Alex and Kwak Mingu make the total of 67%. This satisfies the 2/3 of the attendee rule, so the first topic is now officially passed.”

The room turned dead silent. Jung Jinsup glared at the traitor Kwak Mingu.

The rest of the topics passed by in a breeze. There were some objections, but they were useless.

Finally, it was time for the fourth topic.

Electing a new CEO.

Everyone turned to Alex.

They all assumed Alex would become the next CEO.

Alex raised his hand.

“May I say something?”

“Yes.”

“I propose Kwak Mingu to become the new CEO.”

Jung Jinsup stood up and screamed, “You can’t do that! According to the rules, any agenda initiated during the shareholder meeting is invalid.”

Woosung tried very hard not to laugh. The rules didn’t matter. They could call for another emergency meeting and re-elect Kwak Mingu as the CEO. Woosung asked Alex to do this just to make Jung Jinsup angry.

Alex laughed and replied in English. “So what?”

Jung Jinsup understood and shouted, “W…what? You bastard!”

Jung Hyosung stopped Jung Jinsup from attacking Alex. “It’s no use. They can just call for another meeting.”

“B…but…” f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

“Just stop.”

Jung Hyosung looked like he gave up.

67%.

It was over. Kwak Mingu was elected as the new CEO.

Jung Jinsup left the room in a fit of anger. No one seemed to care, but Woosung followed him.

Woosung understood something crucial after all.

‘Jung Jinsup still has a personal asset of 150 million dollars. I need to take that away from him too.’

Woosung followed him determinedly.

Woosung said to Jung Jinsup apologetically, “I am so sorry. It’s all my fault. I sold the stocks.”

Jung Jinsup sighed deeply.

Woosung continued, “The stock price went down so much that I had to do it. I really didn’t expect something like this to happen.”

“There was no way you would’ve known that. Well, I still have the money from selling the stocks and my father still has 34% left so we will try to do something with it.”

“The price is still low, so you can buy them back.”

“I am doing that already, but there aren’t a lot of stocks available so I can only buy little at a time. I also don’t want to raise the price by buying too quickly too much.”

“That makes sense.”

“I think we can take back the company soon.”

Woosung thought with a grin.

‘Sure, I would love to see you try.’
