Story of a Big Player from Gangnam

(37)

Gu Gu Gu was originally unpredictable in nature.

After all, in high school, I was always nervous because my study was not special and my family was poor. I didn't have many friends.

After high school, I went to the local university, and it was hard to raise tuition money, and I quit my living expenses. After that, I went to Cyber University to get a bachelor's degree, and hung up on a grade 9 civil service exam in Noryangjin, I was separated from my best friends.

After leaving Noryangjin, he wandered around Gyeonggi-do on Mars, Fochun, and Yangju, and after living a life, his relationship with his friends was almost severed. It was just enough to fit in with Park Jong-seok, who went to the factory with him.

This time, while I was working as a clerk at the company in Asan Shi Dunpo, I suddenly made 500 million won, but I didn't earn enough, so all I had to do was conceal something and make money. Later, even though he made a lot of money and became a big hand in Gangnam, he was reluctant to meet people and seemed to be a reclusive figure because of this background.

It was still a time when the difficult times of recovery were still ongoing.

“Lee Suk-ho runs a liquor store in Itaewon? I was this close to going to the Army Academy, but I can't believe you're a liquor merchant. ”

Gu Gun-ho had bad memories for Lee Suk-ho. It was because I remember fighting in high school. No, I remember getting hit unilaterally rather than fighting.

“It was raining when I was about to go home after school. That's when he took my umbrella and called it his umbrella and got into a fight. I'm small, but how can I beat him? Instead, I got beaten up and bruised all the way to the eye, and his classmates were on his side. I remember coming home in the rain and crying like crazy. He'll be surprised when I find him, right? ”

Gu Gun-ho took the 152 bus from Noryangjin Station with a big smile.

“You can take the subway down from the triangle. It's not far from here. It's not even 12. ”

Gu Gu took the subway to Itaewon.

“I think it's this way from the Internet, but I don't know if it's right. What kind of hillside is this? ”

As the Gugunate approached the hill, a building called "National Guard Jaegyeong Support" emerged.

“Is this the Central Guard building? Well, buildings don't work, roads don't. ”

Strange signage begins to appear as you pass the guard.

“Salons, decodes, biscuits... I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Gu Gun-ho found Lee Suk-ho's shop, which Park Jong-seok taught him a long time after Heman went on a business trip.

“It would have been easy to find if it was located on the side of the Itaewon Residence Center, but I didn't know it was here. ”

There were signs and paintings of shops, bars, and dizziness. I opened the door. It was still locked, not during business hours.

“Looks like the liquor store opens late. ”

I couldn't help but think I should go to Itaewon for lunch and come back.

“How many shops like this do you think? Doesn't look like much. A store off the main road. I don't think it's going to cost much... Let's go to Itaewon for lunch. ”

The side of Itaewon next to the toll road was also crowded and crowded. There were a lot of Westerners and a lot of black people.

“How many street vendors do you think there are here? It's expensive, right? Can I open a store like this and do well? I've never done anything like this before, but you can't go wrong. ”

Guggenho bought a doncas and wandered around Itaewon's shops again.

“How much do these clothing stores sell a day? I don't think there's anything left but rent and labor...”

Gu saw the watch on his smartphone. It was 2: 10 p.m.

“Is Lee Suk-ho back now? ”

Gu Gu went back to the business district.

“Compared to Itaewon, this place is still famous for its people and its roads and hills. ”

Gu Gun Ho came back to Lee Suk Ho's shop. The door is open. I looked closely at Lee Suk-ho because someone was packing garbage bags at the door. He changed a lot, but it was definitely Lee Suk-ho.

“Hey, Lee Suk-ho. It's been a while."

Lee Suk-ho looked up at Gu, raising his head at the sound of calling people. I couldn't tell who was blinking my eyes.

“I'm Gu Gu Ho. High school alumni.”

“Oh, it's Gu Gun Ho. I didn't know.It looked skinny before, but I gained a lot of weight. ”

“You're fat, too. Park Jong-seok told me that you do business here. ”

“Park Jong-seok?”

“The son of the Pucheon Sugar House. ”

“Oh, him! Kabul!.”

“Yes, it is. ”

“But are you here on business? ”

“No, I'm here for some business advice. ”

“To me? Come inside, not here. ”

Gu Gu, along Jong-seok Lee, went inside. There are about 12 tables in the store. The chairs were just scattered because they were still before cleaning.

“It's not clean yet, so the store will be a bit messy. Sit down. I'll get you a cup of green tea. ”

Gu looked inside the store, sitting in a chair. A big picture of a Western singer with a guitar on the wall and a picture of a black singer singing a song were confounded.

“What a twisted mind. ”

Lee Suk-ho took a green tea.

“Hey, it's been a long time. You look like you've been in school for over a decade. ”

“Yes, I think that's about it. ”

“Rumor has it you run a factory somewhere in Pocheon. ”

“Yes, I recently quit working at a factory in Pocheon and Asan. ”

“Really? Trying to do something? ”

“I haven't decided yet. How many square feet is this place? ”

“Twenty-three square feet long, seven meters wide. ”

“How's business? ”

“It's been open for over a year. It's been hard at first, but there's been a little bit of a sale going up lately. ”

“There are 12 tables, so they must have gone into some money. How much would it cost? ”

“It's about 150 million. ”

“150 million? You must have made a lot of money. ”

“Where are the 150 million at my age? With three friends. One of them isn't here because he's at work, but two of them work here together. Save on labor costs.”

“For three, did you invest 5,000 per person? ”

“Yes, yes. I opened my hands to my parents because I didn't have anything to gather. ”

“I thought your father was a soldier. Did you work here in the corps? ”

“No. He was already in the forward squad. He was discharged as a colonel.”

“I see.”

“Well, what are you going to do? How much do you want for it? ”

“I'm looking at the cafeteria. I don't have a lot of money, but there are people who want to invest with me...”

“I haven't been anywhere before the opening. I went to Hongdae, went to Hongdae, and went to Sinsa-dong, Gangnam. ”

“That place is expensive, right? ”

“Come on. Even if I have 200, 300 million, I can only get a store the size of a back-alley palm. And there are too many restaurants in my country. ”

While I was talking, a friend of mine told me he was sharing a store with Sukho Lee.
