“et An MBE Super Ant. Let’s et for the first ti in the new year of 2019. It’s Han Sang-hoon, the young CEO of Invictus Investnt.”
At the end of the MC’s remarks, the audience applauded. I swallowed once and then moved on. It was a recording show that had already finished rehearsing once, but I was quite nervous.
The young and beautiful MC spoke eye to eye. “I’ve hosted “et An MBE Super Ant as an MC, but I think he is the youngest CEO ever. Excuse , how old are you?”
“I am thirty this year.”
“You are CEO Han Sang-hoon, who turns thirty this year, has founded and has been running an investnt company called Invictus Investnt, aren’t you?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Oh, that’s great! You started your own company when the other guys were looking for a job.”
“Yes, I’ve dread of starting a business since I was a student. I’ve been lucky to be able to follow my dream.”
“So, how much are the current assets of the Invictus Investnt you founded?” The male MC said, looking at the manuscripts that had been prepared. “What? Seventy-five million dollars?” He already knew, but he was good at acting.
Even the audience was sold when they saw his performance.
“Seventy-five million dollars?”
“At that age?”
“In the world!”
The murmurs were heard gradually.
‘This is not including the money in my personal accounts...’
The male MC went on to say, “At the age of thirty, a CEO. Seventy-five million dollars in assets. Then, the viewers and audience may have an idea. Let ask you a little rudely. What’s your father doing? Running a company? Or…”
“My father runs a judo training center in a normal manner.”
“Oh, really? Then what about your grandfather?”
“My grandfather used to be an ordinary farr...”
“Did you have a lot of lands, then?”
I laughed and waved, “No, that’s not it at all.”
“So, were you not born in a rich family?”
“Correct. I should say that my ho is a little less than the middle class of moderate wealth. It was just a normal ho.”
“Then, you’re a self-made man. Can you tell a little bit about what happened?”
“I’ve had quite a bit of luck in the beginning. It’s hard to go into details.”
It was really hard to go into details. However, there was a prearranged manuscript before the recording.
“You an Lotto or Bitcoin or sothing?”
“Oh, yes. Those things...” I let the early stories crumble in this way. There was a difference between what I said here and there, and it was not sothing that deserved to be said. I went on to say, “That’s how I got started with five million dollars in capital.”
“Wow!” The audience seed to be focusing on five million dollars rather than my story itself.
“But, it beca seventy-five million dollars?”
“Yes...”
There was no problem saying sothing else, but when I lied, my mouth seed to be burning. Currently, my assets in January 2019 were around two hundred million dollars, not seventy-five million. The assets of Invictus Investnt were the seventy-five, and the other one hundred twenty-five million was in my personal accounts.
The female MC asked , “Then, it’s five million dollars growing to seventy-five million... Approximately fifteen tis over. So it was all increased by investnts?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a little hard to believe.”
At the words of the female MC, the male MC cut in. “I know. So people were recently arrested for faking their own success stories. Do you do Facebook or Instagram?”
I shook my head, “No, I don’t do that.”
“Why? Aren’t many young people doing it?”
“I don’t have the ti to do that.”
“Huh... if you’re going to do that, I am going to go in right now. I am wondering if there might be luxury real estate or foreign cars bragging.”
‘It is only for swindlers trying to cheat by showing off their own financial resources. He who has real money, and he who makes money, have no reason to do such things.’
I shook my head and said, “I don’t like doing that much.”
“Oh, you don’t like foreign cars or luxury real estate?”
“No. I like a good house, a good car, and everything. It’s just that I don’t want to brag about it. It doesn’t look very good in the world these days. That’s my opinion.”
The female MC nodded and said, “You have a sound mind. You seem a little distant from a con artist, just by looking at what you’re saying.”
I said honestly, “Yes, I’ve never encouraged anyone to invest. Instead, I would rather ask individual investors not to invest in stocks.”
As I said, the MCs as well as the audience, looked quite surprised. I was on a stock-related broadcast and told them not to do it.
“That’s amazing. Don’t do stocks?”
I nodded with conviction, “Yes.”
“You’ve earned tens of million dollars in stocks, and you tell others not to do... It’s a bit ironic. Can you tell why?”
“First of all, individuals have difficulty accessing key information that affects the rise and fall of stock prices. Their information acquisition is often a day or two slower than others.” This was the case with people like .
“Secondly... there are quite a few people who arbitrarily manipulate stock prices...” This referred to soone like Director Tak Joon-ki.
“In that sense, it is very difficult for individual investors to make money in the stock market. So I want to tell them not to invest in stocks.”
Of course, just because I told them not to do, there would be no one who would not. Everyone in the audience was like that right now. They paid careful attention to “I made seventy-five million dollars,” but they would ignore my words, “Don’t invest in stocks.”
‘The one who wants to do the stock trading will do it in the end, and the one who doesn’t want to, won’t do it, even if others recomnd him to do so, I think.’
“Then, why did you set up an investnt company? Don’t you attract funds from other investors?
“Our company neither receives nor recomnds investnt from ordinary investors. Invictus Investnt is my personal investnt company that runs on my own assets.”
“Oh, I see. It’s a private investnt company that doesn’t take investnts from others.”
“Yes, I was going to run the fund alone, but... it’s too big to do that. I was just set up a company because I needed help from others to take over another company.”
“So, you’re saying you won’t accept any investnt from the public in the future?”
“Correct. First of all, until it I’m running about a billion dollars, and I start investing abroad in earnest, I’m not going to do that. I don’t need that much money right now.”
The male MC opened his eyes wide and said, “A billion dollars?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve got about seventy-five billion in assets now; that ans you’re going to have to make ten or fifteen tis more profit.”
I said bluntly, “That’s about it.”
The male MC laughed and said, “Haha, if that happens, I’ll invest in it right away. No, then please take my money!” At his words, the audience giggled.
“Yes, by then, I’ll be back on this show. But before that, I’d like to do well with my own money. I don’t need any money until I invest overseas.”
“You’re very confident. A billion dollars!”
I raised my head and said, “Maybe not that far. Five years at a stretch, maybe two or three years at a short.”
Actually, I was expecting it to happen within a year, but I said so for now. Five years, two or three years, it seed to sound crazy to them.
The male MC also smiled and said, “Huh. That would be a great thing to do.” He squinted his eyes and looked at . After a mont he said, “I’m going to invest in it right away. No, please take my money!”, but he did not believe at all.
‘Huh! You think it’s ridiculous that you’ve been hosting this show as an MC for a few years on Economic TV. Half a year from now, I won’t accept your money even if you ask to take it.’
The female MC turned the spotlight around. “The company that you made that way has taken over two companies, OH Entertainnt and Kai Gas. I don’t know what you’ve seen and invested that way...”
“I choose a company that I know well and that I will know well.”
“What you know well and what you will know well?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have a little bit deep knowledge in entertainnt or gas?”
“I think I can judge people pretty well and I am also very interested in the gas. So I invested in entertainnt and ga companies.”
The recording continued. At first, I was quite nervous, but as ti went by, I grew accustod to the broadcasting.
“What if you could tell us the secret of successful stock investnt?”
“I watch the news a lot”
“News”?
“Yes, the news tells the present story, but over ti it becos the past. In the past, there was so news that led to a rise in stocks, and that’s what I’m focusing on. I spend a lot of ti predicting what the news will be like in the future.”
“I see.”
“If you could recomnd a stock…?”
“It’s a little bit too much to say... ...but both of the companies we’ve invested in are promising.”
“OH Entertainnt and Kai Gas?”
“Yes. I think they’re both going to have a storm surge this year.”
“You said that you don’t take any investnt from other people’s money, so you’re recomnding companies you’ve invested in?” the male MC asked rashly.
‘This guy is just not likable!’ I thought about it and spoke a little out of the script. “To be honest, I think it’s a little absurd for analysts to recomnd people to buy this and that. If it’s a really good stock, they should buy it themselves. Why would they let a person make money? I simply bought stocks that I thought they were good, and I can’t tell you because I don’t own any other stocks.”
My comnts made the audience quiet. I was sure they’d all bought a lot of stocks that soone had recomnded. I carried on my talk.
“In the case of Kai Gas, I bought the shares of the first major shareholder and the third major shareholder, and then I raised my stake to sixty percent through the open-market purchase. I’ve spent my money. Spending my own money to buy stocks is the clearest and most certain recomndation, isn’t it? If the stock prices fall, I’m the one who loses the most.”
The female MC nodded and said, “That’s true.”
I spoke clearly to the cara watching , “Watch the stock prices of OH Entertainnt and Kai Gas this year. You’ll soon find out whether I’m telling you the truth or not.”
“Thanks for your ti.”
—————
I was coming out of the broadcast and asked Secretary Seo, “How was it?”
“You were good. Just like that! There was an impact.”
“What are the reporters saying?”
There were also quite a few economic journalists here. That was why I responded to the show in the first place so that my na and our company nas would show more on the news.
“First of all, I heard they liked it because they have a lot of stuff to write about, ‘CEO Han Sang-hoon’s confident interview. What will happen in the future?’ ”
‘In these securities broadcasts, big hands usually say vaguely in this way, “Oh, yes, but it can climb, it can take off.” That’s what they say because they might be wrong later.’
But I looked at the cara and made a confident promise that the prices of the stocks I had bought would rise.
“If things go well, you’ll be a hero, but... if they don’t, you might beco a swindler in no ti...,” Secretary Seo said cautiously.
But I said bluntly, “Yeah. Okay, this is a bet too. A hero or a con artist. Let’s see what happens.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
I patted Secretary Seo on the chest and said, “Look, do you see losing on the bet?”
