Seeing Park Jin Hyuk looking at him with confusion, Jin Junyu handed him another document.

"Most of the artworks purchased by DS Telecom were purchased through the Jinghe Art Museum. I have conducted research on this art museum."

Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Kim Jun Woo and took the document from his hand.

"Is there an art museum in Goseong County, Gangwon Province?"

Park Jin Hyuk had heard of Goseong, a relatively remote place. Why did he want to purchase artworks through the art gallery there?

"I searched online for information about this art museum. I think it doesn't actually exist, it's just registered there."

“It doesn’t actually exist?”

It is also possible to register an art company and act as an intermediary in the sale and purchase of artworks.

"But what's even stranger is that this art museum only has one client, DS Telecom."

"What?!"

Park Jin Hyuk looked down at the document in his hand.

“How many artworks has DS Telecom purchased from there so far?”

"65 artworks were purchased from this art museum, totaling approximately 70 billion yuan (about 370 million RMB)."

"70 billion?"

Park Jin Hyuk looked at the paintings and antiques in the corridor, all of which were worth several hundred million yuan. With a total value of 70 billion yuan, the average unit price of these artworks exceeded 1 billion yuan (1 billion yuan is about 5.3 million RMB).

Park Jin Hyuk took a look at the list. The purchase prices of paintings and antiques ranged from hundreds of millions to billions, which seemed normal.

"Chairman, I plan to go to the group's Bisong Art Museum tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"

The DS Group's art museum is named Bisong because it was the nickname of Park Jin Hyuk's grandfather.

The director of the Bisong Art Museum is his stepmother Wu Ruiying.

"I'll go too, but you don't need to tell them in advance."

"Yes, I understand."

Park Jin Hyuk thought, the DS Telecom artworks kept in the museum are worth 70 billion won, so how much is the entire collection worth?

Previously, he had always believed that art museums were not money-making businesses, but were just a way for the women of chaebol families to find something to do so that they would have something to talk about when they met with other people.

However, after learning that there were a large number of valuable works of art preserved there, he changed his mind.

Previously, a fake painting had been hung in his father's office, but it was replaced with a real one after he pointed it out.

He suspected that Wu Ruiying was not unable to distinguish the truth from the false, but was doing it on purpose.

So he decided to go to the scene and see for himself.

The next day, Park Jin Hyuk and Kim Jun Woo came to the Byoksong Museum of Art.

Initially, when the museum heard that people from DS Telecom were coming to inspect the artworks in the company's custody, they did not take it too seriously.

However, unexpectedly, Park Jin Hyuk came in person, and the museum staff began to discuss it in low voices.

"Why is he here?"

"I didn't tell you in advance. Should I report this to the director? Do you know where the director went?"

"It should be at WEST Airlines. The curator is there recently."

Soon, all of DS Telecom's collections were taken out of the warehouse.

Kim Jun-woo said to Park Jin-hyuk who was admiring the painting:

"Chairman, we're ready."

"Let's go."

They came to a special showroom.

The deputy director of the art museum came over to greet me. She was a middle-aged woman.

After greeting the other party, Park Jin Hyuk began to inspect the artworks on display.

"Are all the items on display here from DS Telecom's collection?"

"Yes, they are all collections from DS Telecom."

Park Jin Hyuk was asking Kim Jun Woo, but the deputy director stepped forward and answered.

"Director Jin, have you checked it against the catalog?"

Jin Junyu has arranged for the staff in the secretariat to check them one by one.

"Yes, everything has been confirmed. There are 12 on display at headquarters, and 53 in safekeeping here."

Park Jin Hyuk frowned and asked again:

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

Seeing the boss's expression, Jin Junyu looked at the list in his hand again and said:

“No problems were found.”

On the list in Kim Jun-woo's hand, each piece of art was accompanied by a picture, so there was no way to make a mistake.

This time, Park Jin Hyuk turned his head to the deputy director.

“Are these really our company’s collections?”

"Yes, do you think something is wrong?"

"Is this our company's...?"

Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help but laugh.

These artworks, which look indistinguishable from the real thing, have a value that speaks for itself.

'700,000 (about 3,700 RMB), 500,000 (about 2,600 RMB), 1.5 million (about 8,000 RMB)...'

The prices of these artworks were far different from the prices Park Jin Hyuk had known in advance.

Jin Junyu and his staff once again began to re-check the exhibits.

Park Jin Hyuk leisurely began to appreciate the paintings on the wall.

The deputy director came forward.

"Chairman."

Park Jin Hyuk turned to look at her.

"Now it's time to rotate the exhibits at DS Telecom headquarters. When do you think it would be a good time to do it?"

"Is it time for rotation?"

“Yes, they rotate every quarter so you can see different works.”

Park Jin Hyuk replied with a smile:

"In other words, we want to replace the artwork currently on display at headquarters with the exhibits here?"
