Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

"Hello."

"Hello."

I arrived at the Ari Jewelry Shop in time for the subway journey.

There, Ari, who was waiting for me, and two men in suits were standing in front of the counter.

One was in his mid-50s, a gentleman in a brown suit with a glans cut. And the other was a young man with a wolf-cut hairstyle who looked to be in his early to mid 20s.

The peculiar thing about the young man was that he was blonde like Ari.

Ari opened her mouth first, pointing to a middle-aged man in his fifties in a brown suit.

“Greetings, Junhyuk. This is the James Park I mentioned last time, who will manage Junhyuk’s assets.”

"nice to see you."

"Hahaha. Nice to meet you, Junhyuk. You are a lot younger than I thought.”

“Now I am 33 years old.”

"i See. I am a person who worked for a foreign investment company and retired three years ago and does this kind of pastime.”

“Delly Lynch, you used to work for a very famous foreign investment company.”

Ahri put her ear to my ear and explained more and more. I was more concerned about Ari than the content because my ears were itchy because of Ari's breath.

“And this is my younger brother Choi Jin-woo, who has just graduated from law school. I'm a beginner, so please take a look even if I'm a little clumsy."

“Sister too. Hello, my name is Jinwoo Choi, who just graduated from Hankuk University Law School, as my sister explained.”

"nice to meet you."

I was surprised to hear that he was Ari's younger brother.

Hankuk University is like the best university in Korea, but there must have been many places to come after graduation.

By the way, it seems that I came here because of Ari's request.

“Don’t stand and talk like this for now, and come into the office.”

Ari dragged us to the white room we talked about last time.

There were already 4 seats there.

As we sat down, Ari went to get coffee.

'Is that cat poop coffee you drank last time...?'

Thinking about it a few days ago, I suddenly burst into laughter. He thought he got very close to Ari, but it's only been two days.

It seemed that the relationship did not necessarily get closer as much as the accumulation of time.

“Come on, here’s coffee.”

One by one, Ari served coffee down in front of the table, but mine was the last one.

“Junhyuk doesn’t like Luwak coffee, so I just brewed it with coffee beans.”

"thank you."

To be honest, I was worried, but again, Ari was quick-witted.

She leads the conversation, and she says hello to two people she hasn't seen in a long time.

At the same time, he secretly leaked my story, leading me to naturally join the conversation.

“So, thanks to Jun-hyeok’s discovery of Treasure Island, the four of us got together like this.”

At Ari's words, the company manager, James Park, looked at me with curious eyes.

“Is it true that you have about 160 billion gold ingots and hundreds of billions of diamonds?”

"Yes. It is true.”

I told him frankly because I trusted Ari. I read the minds of the two newly met people secretly through magic, but there seemed to be no malicious feelings towards me.

Everyone seemed to have a crush on me, as everyone was close with Ari.

“Then they are not cash right now, so we can go overseas and sell them right away.”

“Well then. After all, in Korea, jewelry auctions worth hundreds of billions of won do not take place. I have to go abroad to sell at a fair price.”

Ari also agreed.

“When it comes to jewelry auctions, Sotheby and Chrestie’s are the most famous in the world. Both were founded in 1744 and 1766 and have a long history of over 250 years. They hold a total of 20 to 30 jewelry auctions a year in major cities around the world, such as New York, Geneva, London, Paris, Hong Kong and Dubai.”

"i See."

As a jeweler again, Ari put her knowledge of her jewelery auctions on the line.

“Instead, you have to pay a commission for jewelry auctions. Both when buying and selling. In the case of a transaction fee, 25% of the winning bid price must be paid.”

“25%…….”

“Since there are only two places that auction hundreds of billions of units, there is no choice but to overcharge in fees. instead······."

"instead?"

“You can save commissions and taxes by getting authenticity at an auction and selling it privately.”

“What if it was private?”

Ari clasped his chin with both hands for a moment, pouting his mouth.

“I’m not going to teach you now. I will go and let you know.”

“Well, it is.”

After all, when it comes to auctions and jewelery sales, Ari will be in charge. Of course, looking into Ari's eyes now, it was full of playful affection.

“And uncle James, please be prepared to distribute the proceeds from the jewelery sale directly to the Tax Haven Company for payment.”

"Hahaha. All right. To roll money first, you have to be prepared to receive it.”

"that's right. The first step is to fully recover the capital. Right now, the gems aren’t cashed out, so they’re just stones.”

Ari's metaphor of a rock was a bit exaggerated, but it was clear that it was difficult to use it as money right now.

These experts were the people who supported me so that I could receive the full price of my jewels, so that I did not have to pay taxes or fees here and there.

“Sister, then what should I do?”

“Yes, you can solve legal problems and advice while commuting to and from Junhyuk’s office. It may be a ghost company, but in the future, Jun-hyuk will establish a corporate investment company and gradually draw foreign funds to Korea.”

“Heh heh. It's like making a movie. I don’t feel it.”

“If you do well, you might get more incentives than movie stars. Is that right, Junhyuk?”

"Yes."

I nodded proudly to Ari's question.

I'll see you today and talk to you. Even if you spend several billions of money, in the end it is much better to get help from experts.

These are people who have studied for a long time in their respective fields. If I've been digging magic for 100 years, these are people who have sold just one well in terms of investment and the law.

Ari's younger brother still lacked a bit of experience, but right now, the legal matter was not a big problem.

It was literally something even a novice who had just graduated from law school could do it. How about setting up a tax haven and doing some legal review of it once you get your money out safely?

And if my family goes through legal difficulties, Jinwoo Choi will help with those things as well.

'Money is going to make a lot of money anyway...'

If Ahri really sells all of my jewelry and returns them to hundreds of billions of won, I was prepared to give them billions of dollars as incentives.

‘I am very fortunate to have met such people in such a short period of time.’

After meeting Ari and opening her relationship through her gold bars, she asked other people again. It was a strange yet pleasant situation.

And there was something I wanted to do when I had hundreds of billions of won in capital.

“Why don’t we set up a pharmaceutical company that actually invests in equity and manufactures medicines, rather than a formal investment company?”

Everyone was stunned at my suggestion.

If I earned hundreds of billions of dollars, I guess I could buy a foreign car or swim in a multi-billion dollar luxury house.

“Junhyuk, are you serious?”

"Yes."

“Jun-hyeok knows how to make medicine, right?”

"Yes."

"how? Is your major like that?”

“Well, I have a little interest in that.”

At my words, James Park firmly shook his head.

“It's not easy to make something like medicine just because you're interested. It can be sold on the market only after it has passed the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's professional verification stage and clinical trials. A pharmaceutical company can sustain itself only by putting it on the market. and······."James Park, in addition to rebates and business knowledge in the pharmaceutical business in general, listed the impossible points.

It seems like I know how to just say, 'It looks like a lot of money a pharmaceutical company makes in one shot.'

'I am confident that I can make medicines that are not in this world.'

Whether it was verified by the Food and Drug Administration, it was clear that those who used it once would find it unconditionally.

‘Especially, if you sell rejuvenation drugs or aquatic medicines that extend lifespan mainly to the chaebols, I think they will make a lot of money…’

Of course, there could be no counterfeit product because it would be made with items from another world in subspace.

It was said that I could almost make my own, my company's unique medicines.

I put the decision on hold for now, and looked at James Park.

“Let’s take a little more time to think about that. Instead, James Park, please set up an investment company as soon as the capital is raised. Please name the company James Park, and make all purchases of the shares in my tax haven company. And for the profit, Ari and Jinwoo will make a contract for you. You will receive a certain percentage based on your earnings.”

"thank you."

“And soon, I will rent an office near Seoul and set up a simple office. The two of you, please go to work in that direction. I've been away for a while, so my current identity has been expunged, but it will be restored in 12 days. So until then, please rest at home and help me a little bit with what I personally ask for.”

"all right."

“Just leave it to me.”

I finished asking the two of them and sent them out. Now that I am the boss of the two of them, they have obeyed my orders.

“Mr. Ari.”

"Yes."

“Apart from your brother, what kind of person is James Park?”

I mean, is he really someone you can trust?

“I have to tell you about him first.”

According to Ari, James Park was the head of the Korean branch of Daryl Lynch.

He was a legendary fund manager who joined the Korean branch from the beginning and made tens or hundreds of times profits by buying Hanbi Pharmaceutical, Compos, Dongseo, etc. at low prices. However, while he was buying the stock of Hanbi Pharmaceuticals, he was entangled in gangsters and was retaliated against, and he said that he had turned his hand in the industry.

He said that he only gave investment advice to his acquaintances and was extremely reluctant to reveal himself to the outside world.

He said that if he invested his own money, he had a jinx that he could not make a proper investment because of his greed, and he was making a living by collecting commissions through investment advice to others.

So, after worrying about not having a steady source of income, I received Ari's advice to help me.

“By the way, if you’ve been retaliated against by gangsters, shouldn’t you just report it?”

“That’s because they aren’t the ones to report.”

Ari frowned and shook his head.

What the hell kind of bastards are you doing that?

When I made a curious expression, Ari looked around and whispered quietly.

“It’s an organization called the Heukcheonpa.”
