The Rise of JH Investment"

When Jae-Hyun arrived in America, his primary focus was to strategically grow the seed money he had initially invested.

With a keen understanding of the financial markets and an instinct for lucrative opportunities, he made the most of his investments in stocks.

His astute decisions and timing allowed him to multiply his initial capital significantly, reaching a milestone of $10 million. This financial success provided the foundation needed to take JH Investment to the next level.

Jae-Hyun POV

"With $10 million now secured, it's time to establish my company and find a leader to steer it while I remain in the shadows. I'll provide guidance and strategic direction from behind the scenes."

Using my abilities to analyze and evaluate potential candidates discreetly, I found myself drawn to Choi Seongjae.

Choi Seongjae, a relatively new player in the financial sector with only a few years of experience, had already demonstrated exceptional talent. Despite his remarkable skills, he lacked the financial resources to fully capitalize on his potential. Jaehyun, with his keen ability to identify talent, recognized this as an opportunity.

When the fifteen-year-old approached him, Seongjae eyed him with skepticism. The boy's calm demeanor and piercing, mature gaze were unsuitable for his age.

Jae-hyun said, "Hello, I'm Choi Jae-hyun. I've been following your career and I'm impressed by your remarkable talent as an investor. I'd like to offer you the position of CEO at my company, JH Investment. With your skills and our resources, I believe we can achieve great success together."

Seongjae's eyebrows arched. "Recruit me? And why should I join you?"

Jaehyun remained calm and composed, pulling out a document to showcase his achievements. "Here, take a look at what I've accomplished since arriving in the United States." He displayed evidence of turning $1 million into $10 million within just a few months.

Seongjae's eyes widened as he absorbed the figures. "You achieved this in only a few months?"

Jaehyun nodded confidently. "Yes, and with your talent and my resources, we can achieve even greater success together."

Seongjae, still weighing the offer, said, "Can I have a bit of time to think it over?"

Jaehyun responded, "Certainly, but you have two days to decide."

He handed Seongjae his business card. "Here's my number. If I don't hear from you within those two days, I'll assume you've declined the offer."

Seongjae nodded. "Understood. I'll get back to you."

---------------------------------------------

On the second day, Seongjae reached out to Jaehyun, saying, "I accept the offer."

Jaehyun replied with a smile, "Excellent. I'll send you the details for our meeting, where we can discuss everything in more depth."

Jaehyun arranged for them to meet at one of New York's upscale restaurants. After a sumptuous dinner, Jaehyun handed Seongjae a contract. Seongjae reviewed the document and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the 5 percent equity stake in the company.

"You've even given me a stake in the company?" Seongjae asked, astonished.

Jaehyun responded, "JH Investment is just the beginning of my vision. I see you not just as an employee, but as a valuable partner. I want us to build something significant together, and your stake reflects that commitment."

Seongjae, deeply moved, responded, "I'll make sure you won't regret this decision, boss."

------------------------------------------------

With Jaehyun and Seongjae's partnership, JH Investment experienced substantial growth.

As JH Investment continued to expand and thrive,, it became clear that safeguarding the expanding empire was essential.

With plans to venture into new industries and face potential threats, it was time to recruit skilled individuals who could provide robust protection against any challenges that might arise.

The focus shifted to finding elite professionals capable of securing the company's future and ensuring its continued success.
