Chapter 698 – Fantasy
There is something to pick up.
Squeak−!
2 years ago.
This is the basis for me to open a securities company.
‘The foundation.’
There was an opportunity to prepare.
I have experienced various incidents.
It was piled up.
The market placed a high value on it.
“It sold like hot cakes at the time.”
“What now?”
“Well~”
It was sold at a generous price.
Company.
It can be bought and sold just like stocks.
‘Like stocks.’
The future is great?
The PER is set high.
It was sold for about 250 billion won.
But now?
I went through the coronavirus.
Self-employment is at a level close to ruin.
『Hankook University Steak Yucheon Branch』
It only flies.
It’s not just a story about guests not coming.
“Did you take it over again?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“How much?”
“I took a hard look at the profits.”
Maintenance cost.
It costs a lot.
To reduce the deficit.
‘We have no choice but to cut costs.’
It can’t be helped.
I can’t help it.
That is the store’s position.
Customers don’t think that way.
It is the turning point where you fall into a vicious cycle.
“If you cut costs, you get a bad reputation, and if you get a bad reputation, customers don’t come, and if customers don’t come, you get stuck in an endless cycle of cost-cutting again.”
The long period of time called Corona was enough for that to happen.
It’s like hell.
Hold on and hold on.
Exit the terminal.
It’s just that the end was not salvation.
“”It’s been a while. Representative!””
Customers don’t go.
Expectations disappear.
The value of the brand is lost.
‘Premium.’
It’s not like it used to be.
Korea University Steak.
There is no image as a restaurant that focuses on taste and price.
It’s quiet.
It only flies.
The inside of the store doesn’t look good, even to empty words.
“I am so glad that the CEO is back!”
“We tried really hard…”
“Now there are only three of us left.”
Even the employees.
Restaurant.
If sales are not generated, cuts are made starting from the simplest part.
‘Labor costs.’
Cut the highest paid employees first.
Boldly reduce non-essential services.
A restaurant that was doing well.
It is a process of collapse.
It is clearly depicted how it declined.
“I really wish things could just be run like before. Our executives and employees are hoping for that too…”
Even if I hate you, once again!
This means that catchphrases that can only be used by third-rate game companies do not work.
‘That’s why I was able to buy it cheaply.’
Sales fell due to the coronavirus.
The future business outlook does not look bright either.
Corporate value.
It is sufficient grounds to strike.
It was reacquired at ¼ of the original acquisition price.
“Will my brother run it again?”
“It’s half right.”
“I wonder if it will go well… But it doesn’t have that hot feeling like before.”
But it is not easy.
Su-hyeon is also aware of that fact.
‘Will the customers come back?’
That’s usually the case with trendy restaurants.
Buldak, cheese back ribs, malatang, etc.
It’s delicious enough to eat now.
I just don’t feel the need to look for it and eat it.
“Of course we won’t operate like this.”
“Really?”
“You should think about it.”
“Eh?”
You have to make it.
How?
It’s a story that you don’t have to worry about.
Jinglang~♪
It is not only the Hankook University steak franchise that has been acquired.
It’s everything on this street.
“A place like this? There are hardly any people walking around on the streets…”
Yuridan-gil.
The streets that gave birth to gentrification have also become extremely deserted.
‘Because that’s what fashion is all about.’
I heard it’s good here?
I heard it’s hot here?
People flock here just for that reason.
The moment a trend goes out, it scatters like grains of sand.
Only empty streets remain.
“I have to try to bring it back to life.”
“You’ve taken pictures here, gone on dates, done everything, so you won’t want to come, right? At least I think that’s the case.”
It’s not just here.
Streets that were once popular can be commonly found across the country.
‘Most of them.’
Shiny.
As the trend fades, the commercial sector collapses.
It becomes a place that no one visits.
─Recent status of the once-hot Instagram gambling café. Jpg
[Photo of a café with an empty parking lot. Jpg]
It appears a lot on TV
This is a place where YouTubers also lined up to eat.
After the trend went out, no one came
└Because there is essentially no reason to go…
└They say that even those who does it make a decent amount of money and go out of business haha
└Why go to a place like that?
└Customer, please be aware of the Instagram notice 🙏🏻 For further inquiries, please DM 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is not a transportation hub.
There are no special tourist facilities.
Fashion.
Nearby water prices.
It just happened because of various coincidences.
“There’s no need to enjoy past trends now, right? Not much time has passed for it to be a retro.”
“That’s true.”
“But why…”
“That’s why I need you.”
What if the trend goes out?
It’s a simple story that there’s nothing to do with burned firewood.
‘That trend.’
Rise again.
Make it inevitable, not accidental.
It is time for experts to step in.
* * *
Fashion.
It is a natural trend to change with the times.
“Oppa, really?”
“I do some stock trading. You can say I have good market information.”
It has changed from a few years ago.
What young people are currently interested in.
‘My mouth is so itchy.’
It was just a show off.
Among them, there are quite a few people who are hit with a gourd.
“I noticed it right away. What a great person Lee Chan-wook is. I bought all the shares… No, as soon as I got the information from the stock community, I bought it all.”
There are people who have earned it.
The assets I had were multiplied several times.
Money copy.
I feel like I became rich in an instant and my profits increased.
“Wow, you’re in a stock community. You look knowledgeable!”
“Hmm, I am knowledgeable.”
“Aren’t you doing Kim Yu-sik?”
“Don’t be shy, you bastard!”
Easy money.
It is easy to use.
Baek Oh-seong, an ordinary man in his 20s, was prepared to do just that.
‘The bastard called friend is sitting there lighting a candle.’
Drinking alcohol at a hunting bar.
I am in the process of having a 2:2 relationship with two women.
Gulp!
The level is high.
Just two years ago, I couldn’t even dream of it.
But now.
“Then your brother fired the second shot?”
“Kya~!”
“That’s the price of gum. But my brother is looking for his girlfriend urgently.”
“Ah, sand~!”
It is possible.
Money.
I have obtained the most important thing in this world.
The way women see themselves changes.
I think I can do girlfriend making.
“I want to eat steak~. I wish my brother would take me to a good restaurant~.”
I just don’t know how to write.
Baek Oh-seong, who was in a very excited mood, suddenly had a brain freeze.
‘A steak restaurant?’
There is no way to know.
He had no history of going to such places.
It was only recently that I started making money.
“Uh…, Korea University steak or something.”
“It’s a cost-effective restaurant!”
“Is that so?”
“Ugh, you idiot.”
There was no one to go.
The places men go to have a lot of food, are reasonably priced, and are close by.
‘Is it okay to go with a woman?’
Korea University Steak.
It was sensationally popular a few years ago.
It was also a hot topic on social media.
Things have changed recently.
The image has been downgraded to a cost-effective restaurant.
I survived because my friend stopped me.
I was trying to find another steakhouse.
“No. I like it there!”
“I wanted to go there…”
“Uh, really?”
“It’s really hot on Instagram these days.”
The women say OK.
It wasn’t that the standards were particularly low.
‘Oh, is it real?’
It looks like there was a new opening.
I don’t know why, but hashtags are hot on social media as well.
Buzz, buzz!
There are a lot of people.
Korea University Steak.
The place I went there in half a year was completely different.
“Ah, there are a lot of people…”
“Do you want a seat?”
“Just wait 10 minutes!”
“Thank goodness.”
No, it’s the same as before.
It was crowded with customers when it first opened.
‘What on earth has changed?’
The taste is okay.
The price is not bad either.
I also stop by whenever I remember.
In other words, that’s it.
I don’t think the number of customers will increase rapidly in a short period of time.
Jinglang~♪
Perhaps because it was a weekday night, there were seats available.
Even after sitting down at the table, I never stop having questions.
“I haven’t been here for a while. What’s changed?”
“They say the wine is really delicious.”
“Ah, wine.”
“The new menu is also amazing.”
“Oh~.”
Women having a fling.
After hearing the story, I understand.
At the same time, I feel a slight chill down my spine.
‘That wine must be very expensive.’
It is a high-class liquor.
It’s not just a penny or two.
There is a perception that it is unnecessarily expensive.
“If this costs 100,000 won, it’s a huge deal. It’s really hot even among influencers.”
Aren’t you being bullied?
An instinctive rejection reaction occurs.
‘Okay? What if a celebrity said it was delicious? …’
100,000 won is not a waste.
I felt uncomfortable because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get the 100,000 won worth.
A celebrity acknowledged it.
Everyone else drinks like this too.
It is enough to be a reason to choose.
“Can I help you order?”
“Yes! This is wine…, Please give me a bottle of wine.”
“Would you like to prepare the wine first? Or would it be more convenient to prepare it along with the main meal?”
“Just give it to me first. Let it get wet.”
I feel like I am spending my money wisely.
I don’t think it’s a waste.
Giggle~
Even more so when you see the real thing.
The atmosphere really brightens.
I feel like I am eating in a good place.
“You chose a good wine. As a sommelier, I recommend pairing it with steak.”
The reason why people suddenly flocked.
I understand.
You don’t have to worry about what or how to order.
‘That’s what it means for a man.’
From the women’s perspective?
They do not consider the person who pays.
Unless you’re trying to look good.
To Oseong who has expectations.
“I’m a cheesesteak!”
“What?”
“I want Buldak Steak!”
“…”
A strange sound is heard.
