The suspect Yoon Joo Seok...
is your biological brother, right?
You're a piece of work.
Dozing off in front of a prosecutor?
Someone so young...
Young? You are young, right?
Come on. Aren't you on the younger side...
to be doing this?
You have some nerve.
What is it do you think I did?
With the information you obtained...
as an M and A advisor,
we think you purchased stocks from the company you'd be acquiring.
Are we clear on that?
Yes.
Are you admitting the charges? Okay.
No.
No, I'm clear on what I'm being accused of.
That wasn't an admission of guilt.
Come on.
So that's how it's going to be?
Mr. Yoon,
this is how much I was able to find about you.
Do you see that?
All those files are related to you.
Insider trading,
illegal trading under a different name,
and professional negligence.
My gosh.
Honestly, how much did you make?
I only ask out of curiosity.
I say this again, but I...
Was it nice to earn a lot of money?
Was it?
Over 1,000 people...
lost all their savings regarding this matter.
They went bankrupt,
families were wrecked,
and some even took their own lives.
How does it feel...
to think about them?
I feel for them.
You feel bad?
Is that it?
I understand how I can be suspected of insider trading.
- However... - I see.
You're guilty of suspicious actions,
but, however, you're innocent.
You're telling me to present definitive evidence,
aren't you?
That's not what I meant.
Judging by your statement,
you seem to have circumstantial evidence...
but none that are definitive.
Am I right?
You punk. Now I definitely know what you think of prosecutors.
Mr. Yoon Joo No.
You're free to go.
October 11, 2021.
Current time, 5pm.
This concludes today's questioning...
regarding the charges of Mr. Yoon's insider trading...
and illegal trading under a different name.
What ended it?
Our suspect died.
The investigation is closed, so you're free to go.
(Episode 7: Classified)
Hey, Mom.
Are you just waking up?
Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?
I only have to be at the office by nine.
Currently,
it's only 6am.
You have it lucky.
I have to be up at 4am, cook breakfast,
and be at the orchard before sunrise.
Why did you call?
You have a car, right?
My car? Why do you ask?
You can lend it to Sang Hoon.
Why would Sang Hoon use my car?
Being a family means we share things.
It's for whoever needs it.
Exactly. But why does he need a car?
He looks good in everything being the handsome young man he is,
and people approach him to ask where he bought the items.
Telling them that will only do others good.
Besides, Sang Hoon can sell the clothes himself.
You don't even need an actual store these days...
but can make money selling things online.
To do so, he needs to meet various people,
so of course he needs a car.
Is he going to run an online shopping platform?
Exactly.
Can you tell your coworkers to buy some things?
Brag about your little brother too.
I don't have any friends at work.
Also,
not everyone can run an online shopping platform.
He's not just some nobody.
Your one and only brother is trying hard to get something going.
Don't you feel bad for him?
Why should I?
(Parking)
Do you even know how much money he borrowed from me?
If he needs a car, tell him to buy one himself.
You think living alone in the city makes you superior.
If only you knew how troubled your brother is...
over the fact he can't find a job.
My gosh, this is heartbreaking.
I need my car for work, so I'll hang up.
My gosh.
- What's with the suitcase? - Oh, this?
I'm coming straight to work from Gimpo Airport...
and might die of exhaustion.
- Were you on vacation? - No, a business trip.
What business trip?
Just so you know, secretaries can't answer that.
We must pretend not to have heard, have seen,
or know anything.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Anyway, why are you at the office so early?
You're probably aware that my team has its secrets too.
Of course.
How's the work as a secretary? Doable?
Well,
we're just a bunch of glorified servants.
I'll enjoy these.
- Have a good one. - Sure.
(Chairman Song Jae Sik)
Are you back from Jeju?
- Yes, sir. - What did she say?
Good work.
This confirms that Chairman Song took out a loan...
of 50 million dollars with Sanin's stocks as collateral.
Make sure this is kept between us.
Of course.
I wonder why the chairman took out a loan of 50 million dollars.
His own stocks were put up as collateral...
which means it was for something urgent.
Wouldn't the chairman have that kind of money though?
What?
Oh, I mean,
fifty million dollars is a lot of money,
but he's the chairman of a major company.
Even a chairman of a major company...
would rarely have 50 million dollars lying around in cash.
Besides, Chairman Song...
values the power of control and ownership...
which is why his assets are mostly in stocks.
Yet, he took out a loan with the stocks as collateral.
Something doesn't add up.
On what could he have spent that money?
- Mr. Chairman. - Morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Song Jae Sik.
(Song Jae Sik)
(Chairman of Sanin Group)
(Sanin's Philanthropic Program)
(Financial Aid for Patients With Chronic Conditions)
"Sanin's Philanthropic Program."
"Patients With Chronic Conditions."
(Sanin Group is spearheading a program that will...)
(financially support patients with incurable diseases.)
Nice. Talk about perfect timing.
I was actually craving some sugar.
Enjoy.
Anyway, the chairman...
must be in a tight spot.
He is. The interest rate is ten percent.
I'd gladly lend him that money.
Do you have 50 million dollars?
Of course not.
Then eat this.
It's tasty.
Thank you.
Forget the tea. I won't be in there long.
Sure.
I'm here to brief you, sir.
Sure. Come in.
Was there any word from Jeju?
It was rejected, sir.
- Is that all? - I apologize.
- You. - Yes, sir.
Call Director Ha in.
- Yes, sir. - And Director Lee.
Understood, sir.
He's summoning Director Ha and Director Lee.
Sure.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Of course. Understood.
What is it?
He called Mr. Yoon Joo No in as well.
I can't believe he's playing with the big guns now.
- Yes? - Director Ha,
the chairman asked for you.
What? When?
He wants you in his office right away.
Sure. I got it.
(Director Ha Tae Soo)
Wait. How is his mood today?
It's pleasant, sir.
Could this be about what I was informed of yesterday?
That must be the case.
Have you reviewed the contract?
- Yes, I did. - Good.
I believe the chairman took out a loan a while back,
using his shares as collateral.
He has to pay back the loan,
and he wishes to sell his shares to pay it back.
You mean, he wants to sell his Sanin shares?
Yes, he wants to do it to pay back the loan.
He can't.
The market suspects...
that Sanin might not be capable of paying its debt at the moment.
So, if the chairman sells his Sanin shares now...
The stock price will drop.
Correct.
Then Samoel might go ahead and exercise the option.
If that happens,
Sanin will end up in Samoel's hands.
By the way,
why do you think he needed 50 million dollars in cash?
I'm not sure.
So, you don't know where he spent the money either, right?
He's a man with strong pride.
I think he was stressed out about it all by himself.
I'm the only one who knows about this.
Now, the two of us are the only ones who know.
Right.
Come in.
Thanks.
Well...
There's nothing to worry about, sir.
It's not a huge amount.
Even so, there should be many ways to pay it back.
Director Ha, what do you think we should do?
We should choose a solution that can benefit Mr. Chairman the most.
What might that solution be?
Well...
Sir, the current interest rate...
is ten percent, which is pretty high.
I suggest you switch to a different loan product.
That will be difficult.
Why?
The loan maturity date is only a month away.
It's too tight.
That's exactly why we should do it as quickly as possible.
If the loan application gets rejected,
or if we miss the maturity date, we'll have a big problem.
A big problem? Why?
It's not like I borrowed the money for free.
I've been told that you used your shares as collateral.
That's right. So, they can take my shares.
You...
don't want that.
Why not?
Why can't he pay it back using his shares?
They're considered the chairman's personal asset.
At the moment, the market suspects that Sanin...
might not be able to pay back the 11 billion dollars.
If Sanin fails to pay it back, it'll go bankrupt.
So, what would the market think if the company owner sold his shares...
in this situation?
"The chairman who knows the company's situation the best..."
"is escaping first." Everyone would think that.
I see.
You mean, people might think I'm doing it to run away or something?
Yes.
Goodness. Let them think whatever they want.
If you sell your Sanin shares now,
other shareholders will also sell theirs.
Then Sanin's stock price could plummet.
Look.
It's not like a small drop in our stock price will kill someone.
Even so,
you cannot sell your shares.
What?
When insiders or majority shareholders are selling...
more than one percent of the stock or five million dollars,
they have to publicly announce it at least a month before.
However, we only have 29 days left now,
so he can't sell his shares even if he wants to.
Don't you just have to give a five-day notice?
No, the law has changed.
Insiders kept selling stocks at their peak and exiting,
so to prevent that.
He missed the timing.
The 50 million dollars must be paid back in cash.
It's 55 million, including the interest.
All of it must be paid back in cash.
I have no cash. My shares are all I have.
Well, sir.
Why would you need cash, sir?
If it's not paid back in cash now,
it'll cause a big problem down the road.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, sir.
The bank notified you to pay it back when you still have 29 days left,
which means the bank is probably aware of it too.
So, you should pay it back in cash now.
Right.
So, he should borrow money and pay it back as soon as possible.
Will we sit idly by because we don't have time?
Let's call everyone we can think of, be it a bank or a fund company.
You said it must be paid back in cash.
What if rumors spread?
What?
"Sanin is running around to borrow 50 million dollars."
What if such a rumor spreads in the market?
"Sanin doesn't even have 50 million dollars."
If rumors like that start going around...
It'd be better to just sell the shares, then.
Hey, you heard that we couldn't do that.
Then what? What do we do?
May I ask you where you spent the 50 million dollars?
Such arrogance!
Do you have to know that?
It's not like that.
I think he's just trying to come up with some ideas, sir.
I bought a resort.
It looked nice.
I wanted to use it when I needed a break.
I see.
Of course, sir.
Every chairman owns a resort.
Of course, you should own one too.
You made a good purchase.
Are we good now?
Yes, sir.
Then may I see the purchase contract for the resort?
Why do you need that?
What would you think about selling that resort?
Joo No.
Yes, sir.
You see, the companies you're trying to sell now.
They're all like my children.
You know that, right?
- Yes, sir. - And you...
really can't stand my children that much?
Is that it?
It's okay for you to sell some of them,
but some are strictly off-limits.
Yes, sir.
Director Ha, do you suggest I borrow more money?
Yes. That should take care of the problem, sir.
Mr. Yoon isn't experienced enough yet,
so he doesn't really know how the market works.
You have nothing to worry about, sir.
And you, Mr. Yoon?
I'll go through it again and submit another report.
All right.
Whether you decide to borrow more or sell it, you two figure it out.
Pardon me?
- You mean, Mr. Yoon and me? - Why?
You don't want to?
It's not that, sir.
I will work on it.
Yes. Understood, sir.
All right, then. You can go.
Get up and go.
- Director Ha. - Yes, sir.
Finish this before you go. It's expensive.
Yes, sir.
It would've been better to tell you about it in private later on.
I made a hasty judgment.
No, don't say that.
We have less than a month left. We should hurry.
Anyway,
I guess he wants this to be a competition.
Will you be all right?
It doesn't matter.
This could be a good opportunity for you, but...
Opportunities always bring crises.
Yes.
About the resort Chairman Song bought.
You don't know where it is, do you?
I don't know of any resort he frequents.
Director Ha didn't seem to know about it either.
- Right? - Yes.
Hey.
- Did the meeting go well? - Yes.
Have you been to that resort?
Pardon? What do you mean?
Chairman Song said he bought a resort because it was really nice.
Oh, did he?
I know nothing about it.
Thank you.
For what?
Nothing.
The chief secretary must know about it.
Yes. But even if he knows, he can't talk about it.
There's no way the secretary's office handled the purchase.
They probably did it through a broker.
Probably, but I'm sure they can't talk about it either.
They must've had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Right.
Anyway...
You're not actually planning to sell the resort, are you?
Is there another way?
All right. I understand.
I'll meet with the chairman again.
Hey, Director Ha.
Yes, sir.
Do you think he's right?
He talked as though we were in deep trouble.
Mr. Yoon?
I can't say he doesn't have a point,
but it's all an excuse.
Excuse?
Yes.
He's practically an outcast in the industry,
which means there's no way...
he can borrow that kind of money in a month.
That's why he's saying that.
So?
Are you confident?
Yes, sir.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
There isn't much Yoon Joo No can do.
Besides, he's too inexperienced to handle something like this.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Oh, boy.
I really am getting old now.
I want to take it easy now.
Pardon?
Everyone says Jeju Island is nice.
Should I move there?
My goodness. Please don't say that, sir.
Sanin can't operate without you.
You feel that way now because you're tired.
Let me handle the important matters.
Get some rest, and all will be fine.
Can I really do that?
Of course, sir.
Take a short break, and I'll take care of this.
All right.
- Finish it. - Yes, sir.
Who do you think will manage to sort it out?
Between Director Ha and Mr. Yoon?
Director Ha.
Really? Why?
Director Ha is very experienced...
and well-connected.
And you are rooting for Mr. Yoon, aren't you?
Why do you think that?
Just because.
Hey.
It's not because he's good-looking.
Then why do you think it'll be him?
Mr. Yoon is kind of crazy.
- Isn't that a bad thing? - No.
I think you need to be a bit crazy to get this sorted out.
I think he'll cause trouble because he's like that.
Hey, watch what you say...
- Hey. - How did it go?
The chairman bought a resort...
with the 50 million dollars.
Oh, boy.
It won't be easy to turn a profit with a resort.
Rich people don't buy resorts to make money.
Really? How do you know?
That's what I heard.
Then why do they buy it?
It's like...
I guess you could call it an expensive hobby.
It's like when ordinary people like us buy an exotic car.
If an ordinary person buys an exotic car, they'd go bankrupt.
Oh, right.
But there's no way Chairman Song will go bankrupt.
I think he can just sell the resort he bought.
He paid 50 million dollars for it,
so he can sell it for 50 million dollars.
Fifty-five million, with interest.
Right, 55 million dollars.
It'd be helpful to see if it's still worth that much,
but I have no idea which resort it is.
Let's look it up, starting with the ones in the 50 million-dollar range.
There will be many of them.
I know.
Oh, this is gone. It was good.
Do you want mine?
You gave me this earlier.
Right.
Mr. Yoon, you should try it. It's good.
Where did you get this?
It's from my friend.
Your friend?
Yes, from the secretary's office.
- Is this... - It's called gwajeul.
It's common on Jeju Island.
How do you know these things?
I just...
I had it when I visited Jeju Island a while back.
Thank you.
Really?
Hello, sir.
Hello, Mr. Yoon. How may I help you this time?
I have a question for you.
Well...
About Chairman Song's resort on Jeju Island.
Oh, yes. What was it called? DADO.
Yes.
DADO.
What about it?
How much would it go for?
If it were put on the market.
Are you selling it?
Maybe, if I'm happy with the price.
You didn't sell it last time, even when I adjusted the price.
I feel very bad about that matter.
Director Kang. I'll call you again.
Got it.
Hold on.
What's this?
Something feels off.
How so?
It's like I'm the last to know...
I've been tricked into something.
What could it be?
This must be the place.
(DADO Hotel)
- Is it? - Yes.
That's the only accommodation with the name DADO on Jeju Island.
I thought resort buildings would be tall.
It's famous for being designed by Itami Joon.
And also for being very difficult to book.
Did you say Itami Joon?
- Yes. - "Itami?"
Is he Japanese?
He was a Korean Japanese who had a love for Korea.
He kept his Korean nationality.
While traveling, he wrote many books...
and left architectures.
The architectures are concentrated on Jeju Island.
Have you been there?
No.
I watched a documentary.
I get why Chairman Song would want it.
Will we...
inspect the place in person?
Should I make the reservations?
- Let's inspect it. - Jeju Island!
- Yes, Director Kang? - I have something...
to explain to you in person.
It feels like...
I made a mistake.
That's not true, Director Kang.
I understand where you're going.
But don't worry.
No. I still want to meet with you.
I want to inform you about the resort too.
I see. All right.
Head to Jeju Island first.
I'll go after meeting Director Kang.
Understood.
Standard, premium, and suite.
Shall I book the three?
That sounds good since we must make comparisons.
The company won't know about it,
so pay with this card.
All right. I'll do that.
Standard is 700 dollars per night,
premium is 1,500,
and suite is 8,000.
Hold on.
How much was it again?
Jin Soo.
Book the standard.
Oh, all right.
I'll book three standard rooms.
One standard.
Instead, make it 2 nights. It'll be 1,400 dollars.
Add breakfast to it.
After all, we're working on a weekend.
Book two rooms.
No. I'm all right.
Okay. I'll book two rooms.
(Samoel Director Teo)
(Samoel CEO David)
Mr. David.
Yes, Director Ha.
I'd like to talk to you.
How about a meal together?
A meal with you, Director Ha?
Yes.
Where should we dine?
Well...
Okay.
All right. Sounds good.
I'll make the reservation. Please come over right away.
Understood.
I thought you wouldn't want to go.
True.
There's no reason to have a meal with him.
But?
It's interesting.
What?
The things he does.
(Director Ha Tae Soo)
Darn it.
Goodness.
If only I could also manage someone else's money...
and get a piece of the pie.
We, the secretary's office,
must work like Chairman Song's shadow,
not hide behind him. Did I not tell you that?
You did.
Did you have to make him call over...
Director Ha, Director Lee, and Mr. Yoon?
But, you see,
it was a new task for us.
We simply followed Chairman Song's orders.
Exactly.
That's what hiding behind Chairman Song means.
How is it working if you only follow his orders?
Is that what a secretary does?
You are to read Chairman Song's mind...
and settle things without any trouble.
The secretary's office has become a laughing stock.
Everyone is asking where Chairman Song's resort is.
- My apologies. - My apologies.
From now on,
let's make sure Chairman Song...
doesn't have to revisit...
past discussions.
- Understood. - Understood.
Get back to work.
Excuse me.
The place may look shabby,
Enjoy.
But it's a must-eat place.
It looks good. I'll enjoy it.
By the way, Director Kang.
Regarding DADO Resort,
I got the information from different routes.
Nobody will think it was leaked from your end.
And I won't mention it either.
Well, you see...
The secretary's office was in charge of it.
I naturally thought you were in charge of it.
But on second thought,
you couldn't have.
What do you mean by that?
Sorry?
I see.
So you had no idea.
Is there a reason I couldn't have done it?
Right.
I made a mistake, didn't I?
Feel free to look around.
Please try it on. I bet you'll look good in it.
Oh, I'm good.
Hold it up to the mirror.
- This? - It's the last piece.
The youngest worker asked me to hold it for her.
But it won't fit her. It's too small.
I think it'll be perfect on you.
Please try it on.
It looks different when it's on you.
My gosh. Because you're cool-toned,
the bright color looks great on you.
Look. Isn't it pretty?
I see.
This one is on sale, right?
Of course. The original price is 320 dollars.
With a 50-percent discount, it's 160 dollars.
Right.
Do you also offer employee discounts?
- Oh, are you a Sanin employee? - Yes.
As the discount rate is higher than the employee discount,
it can't be applied.
But it's much cheaper than the lowest price online.
- I see. - You look amazing in the dress.
Would you like to buy it?
Well...
(Domestic)
Jin Soo.
- You got here before me. - Hi.
- Attorney Oh. - Yes?
You look different in casual clothes.
What? Do I look cool?
No, you just look different.
I'm last.
Hey.
We just came.
Is that so?
Why didn't you wear comfortable clothes? It's a resort.
Should I have done that?
Will our inspection get busted?
That's not it.
You're always in work mode.
But we're heading over to work.
Maybe I should be driving the car.
No. I'll be in charge on Jeju Island.
But I feel at ease when I drive.
Relax. We're all the way in Jeju.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
- Please let me. - I'll do it.
Here.
Thank you.
Great.
This is Room 117.
- Room 121 is over here. - Got it.
Thank you. Give me the key.
The key...
- Ms. Kwak. Get some rest. - Okay.
- Ms. Kwak. - Yes?
Here.
Get some rest.
Your room is this way.
A room that's 30 dollars per hour.
Let me have a look.
(Hotel and Resort On-Site Inspection Checklist)
(Checklist)
"Does the carpet work well with the wall color?"
- Let's see. - Hi.
I'm staying in Room 123.
Oh, I see.
Did you check in today?
What?
Where are you from?
- Seoul. - I see.
How long will you be staying here?
Sorry?
The thing is, I'm here alone.
And I'm bored.
How about we become friends?
"Friends?"
Yes?
Ms. Kwak. If you've looked around your room, how about a meal?
All right.
Attorney Oh and I will wait at the restaurant.
Okay. I'll be right there.
See you again, Ms. Neighbor.
Right. Please excuse me.
- Do you need a receipt? - Yes.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Over there.
Hi. Do you have a reservation?
Well...
Hey.
- Over there. - Okay. Allow me to lead the way.
Okay.
- You made it. - Yes.
Thank you.
Here's the menu.
It's best to taste various dishes, right?
Yes, let's do that.
Should we order two a la carte...
and one course menu?
Listen. Since I eat quite a lot,
won't an a la carte be too little?
Do you want to order two a la carte?
No.
The course menu can be filling, you know?
Go ahead. You can have the course menu.
Two udon meal sets.
"A Jeju-style course meal crafted with sincerity featuring..."
"rustic yet simple dishes made with ingredients..."
"from pristine waters."
This one, please.
Okay. We'll prepare 2 udon meal sets and 1 DADO course meal.
Great. Thank you.
Thank you.
Here.
Thank you.
How was your room, Ms. Kwak?
It was nice.
Yes, nice.
I found the indoor air to be quite dry.
Aren't hotels always a bit dry?
What?
We meet again, Ms. Neighbor.
Hi.
How do you two know each other?
We're neighbors.
I see.
I see. You guys live in the same neighborhood.
No, she didn't mean it like that.
She's staying in the next room.
- I see. - Okay.
If you don't mind, could I join you guys?
Sure. Please join us.
How long have you been staying here?
Pardon?
Oh, I've been here for a long time. About a year?
So you came to Jeju Island a year ago?
Yes, that too.
You've been staying in this resort for a year?
Yes.
I love this place.
I see. Okay.
Sure.
Here are our noodles.
Oh, my.
- Thank you. - It's hot.
- Okay. - My goodness.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Did I upset you?
What?
No, I'm fine.
I'm just craving something spicy today.
Come on. Don't act like you don't know what I mean.
I'm talking about the purchase of my resort.
I understand, sir.
Seriously? Did you just sir me?
You're upsetting me when you talk to me like that.
When it's just you and me,
we're friends.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sure you had your reasons.
Okay.
"The company is fighting an uphill battle to pay off the debt."
"But the chairman who should know better bought a resort..."
"and caused a mess."
Isn't that what people are thinking?
They will honestly think you had your reasons to do so.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Then why aren't you asking me about my reason to buy the resort?
Why did you have to buy it?
So this resort...
It's Ji O's.
Are you saying the chairman isn't the actual owner?
Right. That's it.
Then why did he keep it a secret?
That, I really don't know. I swear.
- I see. - Mr. Yoon.
You must keep everything I told you today a secret.
Don't worry.
She said it was her dying wish.
So I bought it for her.
I see.
I couldn't tell other people about it,
so I couldn't tell you either.
You...
understand my decision, right?
Yes.
So...
is there...
any other way instead of selling the resort?
She won't leave the resort.
Since you let me join you today, it will be my treat.
No.
- Put it on my room. - No.
- Here. - It's already been paid.
Would you like to go for a swim?
Gosh. Well, that was...
Is there a swimming pool here?
No. But there's one in my room.
You must be staying in the suite.
Would you like to come? I can invite you.
- Really? - Yes.
I was curious about the suites here.
Well, if we're not imposing on you...
You're not.
I think she's filthy rich.
The lady?
She paid for our food.
And she's staying in the suite too.
She's been staying there for a year.
Her wealth must be on a different level.
I doubt it.
Rich people don't spend money like that.
Is that so? Then what's her deal?
Maybe, she has some kind of sad story.
- A sad story? - You know, there are people...
who want to spend all of their money before they die,
so they can leave without regret.
Never mind.
She didn't look like that type.
- Yes, Director Lee. - Hey, Joo No.
It's about the resort.
Yes, I'm listening.
Are you seriously considering to sell it?
I believe we should.
I understand why you want to sell it.
But don't sell it.
The resort doesn't belong to the chairman.
So I said...
I'm aware.
- My gosh. - Hey.
How did you find out?
It turns out someone named Song Ji O is the real owner.
Do you know who that is?
Have you tried this? It's really good.
Thank you.
My name is Kwak Min Jeong.
My name is Song Ji O.
I see.
Thank you for inviting us to your suite.
I should thank you.
You can just call me by my name.
Sure, Ji O.
Mr. Yoon?
Yes, he does look like Mr. Yoon.
Wait, it is him.
Mr. Yoon.
- Did you eat? - Yes.
I hope the meeting went well.
She's the chairman's daughter.
This is...
Hello, CEO Song Ji O.
CEO?
She's a CEO?
I guess she's a CEO of a company.
You are Ms. Song Ji O, the CEO of DADO Resort, right?
Hello.
I'm the owner of DADO Resort. My name is Song Ji O.
- I should've paid for the meal. - The CEO?
I've known her ever since she was a child.
She was the apple of his eye.
She was his only daughter.
So you can imagine how much he adored her.
But after her mother died,
Ji O must have gone astray for some time.
She lost her mother when she was quite young.
So the chairman couldn't look after her as much as he wanted.
In the end, he sent her abroad.
But she couldn't adjust to the life there either.
She came back to Korea last year.
I thought she was staying with the chairman.
But she was adamant about living on Jeju Island.
So he bought the resort as a present to her.
Trying to take that away from her...
wouldn't give you a chance to survive.
My goodness.
Oh, my.
- You should go home. - Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Understood.
Sir, it's me.
Come in.
Did it look like a good place?
Do you mean Jeju Island?
Yes.
Yes. She seemed comfortable.
- Go and get some rest. - Yes, sir.
You must hold an important position in the company.
But how did you know that I was the CEO?
You must be from Sanin, correct?
Yes, Ms. Song.
I'm Yoon Joo No from M and A Team.
That's great.
I need to show off my resort then.
Isn't it a beauty? And it's very private too.
Yes, indeed.
Once you walk this way, you'll see the panoramic view again.
Stunning, isn't it?
Yes.
Seeing the resort in person rather than a photo does it justice.
You bet.
Seeing it in person is much better.
Do you see the oreum over there? Check it out at dawn.
Okay.
By the way, can you get up that early?
Probably.
You probably won't go then.
I go there every morning.
No. I'll make sure to visit it tomorrow.
Really?
Do you mean it?
Promise me then.
Sure.
They're working even on this trip.
You must be a mean boss, Mr. Yoon.
What was the name of your team again?
We're from M and A Team.
M and A Team?
So you buy and sell companies. Is that right?
Yes.
We're conducting due diligence...
in case we have to sell DADO Resort.
Due diligence? What's that?
You can think of it as conducting an appraisal on DADO Resort.
Really?
I'm curious.
So you guys are here to sell off my resort.
Oh, my. You guys were really in a scary business.
I made sure no one from Sanin would be allowed here.
This all looks Greek to me.
These are the financial statements of DADO Resort.
Financial statements? What are those for?
You can think of them as an indicator...
that reflects the company's financial health.
I see.
It's like the health checkup chart.
That was the perfect analogy.
It's the health checkup chart of a company. Right?
Yes. Totally.
So is DADO Resort healthy?
The financial health of DADO Resort isn't so good.
Then what should I do?
We're looking for a solution.
If you spare us a moment of your time tomorrow,
we'll present it to you.
Sure. I'll look forward to it.
Then please do tell me about it tomorrow.
A solution to save DADO Resort.
Ms. Song.
Selling DADO Resort is one of the options we're considering.
And?
I was wondering if you were aware.
Yes.
But that doesn't matter...
because...
I won't...
sell it.
I see.
(The Art of Negotiation)
This place isn't run to make a profit.
It stands to entertain a chairman's daughter.
So the problem lies with her operational skills?
He already borrowed three billion dollars.
He's asking for 55 million dollars?
Does the chairman also know this isn't an easy thing to do?
Will anyone want to buy this resort?
Our minimum price is 60 million dollars.
Why did they go down there?
- Sir. - The chairman found out...
that you went down to Jeju.
- Did he sell it? - No.
Did you lose your job because of me?
We gave up on selling DADO Resort.
