When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 51

To most people in Lin City, this summer was hot, peaceful and ordinary.

To Lisa and Jungkook, this summer was one of excitement and new experiences.

For Jaehyun, even though he stood at the top of the Jung Group at the tender age of 25, his life was nothing but chaos and ruin. The whole world was seemingly against him.

After the news of the Jung Group's incident broke out, their stock price plummeted to a new low, where it continued to drop even to this day.

At the same time, Kim Jiseok announced his divorce to the public and also stated that he would be leaving the Jung Group to start a new company. He brought all his connections, clients and employees from the real estate industry along with him, which was basically half of the Jung Group.

Not to mention, all the suppliers and distributors were proposing terminating their contracts with the Jung Group because they were either being provoked by Kim Jiseok or because they wanted to protect themselves... With that, the capital chain of a huge company was broken. The company was falling apart, and so the once arrogant Fourth Mister Jung ( Jaehyun )had all but completely thrown away his pride and now spent his days going around to plead for investments.

Nevertheless, the size of the Jung Group was too big, and after taking such a big hit, everyone claimed that they were unable to help - they refused to invest their money in a sinking ship. Even banks that used to be on good terms with the Jung Group told Jaehyun that they would have to demand payment of the huge loans from before if he could not stabilize the stock price and the company's credibility soon.

The only person who was willing to invest in the company was Kim Jiseok. However, he wanted to buy the entire Jung Group and the conditions that he offered was extremely harsh.

When Jaehyun heard his conditions, he promptly kicked Kim Jiseok's messenger out of his office. "F*ck off."

Jaehyun was prepared for bankruptcy.

It was at this time that Jung Misun, who was now in prison, wanted to meet him.

She had always been the sanest person in the entire Jung Group. Ever since the beginning, she had protected the Jung Family to the best of her abilities. This time was no exception.

"Jaehyun, the Jung Group's not as bad as you think. Even at its worst, it's still stronger than a newly formed company. As long as its foundations are there, you will still be able to access its many high-quality assets and business connections. If you can get through this rough patch, then you can easily make a comeback in the future. Trust me as someone who is naturally far-sighted. The real reason why no one is willing to invest in the company is that they want to take advantage of the situation and lower the price of your shares."

"One of my college classmate's husband is a wealthy businessman living in Hong Kong, and he's very influential throughout Southeast Asia. You can try to contact him. I heard that this person has many solid assets and that he's a very savvy businessman. Because of this, you have to be mentally prepared as his offer might be even harsher than Kim Jiseok's.

Nevertheless, he's still a professional investor so he will not want to gobble up Jung's management rights. As long as he is willing to invest to help save the Jung Group today, then we can still rise from the ashes tomorrow."

Soon, Jaehyun contacted the wealthy Hong Kong businessman.

As Jung Misun expected, the other party's offer was harsher than Kim Jiseok's. Even so, they proposed their termination conditions after only buying 40 percent of the Jung Group's shares. This meant that as long as Jaehyun was able to make enough money in the future, he could still repurchase the shares from them.
