Quote
“Honesty and diligence are the keys to success.”
Greeting
“In Japan or Korea — if it's not number one, it means nothing.”
“Without tenacity, don't even start a business.”
“I built an empire starting from confectionery. Nothing is impossible.”
Deploy
“Smash the barriers of outdated distribution! Tear down those flimsy defenses with hands-on management and ruthless capital mobilization!”
“Crush the bureaucracy that doesn't know the ground! Push forward and break through with the sheer weight of a mega mixed-use district!”
“Rip apart the entrenched old retail turf! Pulverize their arrogance with the thunderbolt of rock-bottom survival instinct!”
Victory
“The result of grinding it out to the bitter end. The ones who never knew the tears of the bottom quietly suffocated and crumbled before our meticulous retail empire.”
“To every employee in Japan and Korea who sweated day and night on foreign soil and at the front lines — you were magnificent. Your grit bridged the straits.”
“Don't pop champagne just because you made some money! Customers' tastes change again tomorrow. Get out to the floor right now and check the next investment!”
Draw
“The nationality controversy and prosecutor's investigation keep chopping at the company's ankles — a miserably frustrating swamp where we can't even get a single building up right.”
“Don't get into a shouting match with the press. Once the buildings rise and the jobs start moving, public opinion turns too. I'll quietly keep pouring concrete and waiting.”
“Even if my sons' fight over succession and late-life dementia try to consume me, the backbone of distribution I built across Japan and Korea won't budge a hair.”
Defeat
“Our shopping malls have finally been emptied out by the rival coalition. A chilling, gut-wrenching disgrace.”
“The buildings are empty, but the title deeds are still in my name. I'll cut out the failed retail zones and hammer the market again with aggressively discounted properties.”
“Spit on me as a merchant who crosses two countries just to skim profits — the iron pillars I drove bare-handed into the Seoul sky will look down on this country for a thousand years.”
Strike
“One relentless, calculated retail strike to cut down incompetence that doesn't know the ground!”
“Overwhelming capital and the encircling firepower of a mega complex to crush the competition!”
“A thunderbolt of savage survival instinct to shatter the complacent!”

Overview
High diligence combined with strong command enabled an extreme achievement of building dual-nation chaebol from nothing. Bold disposition paired with low humility created an authoritarian growth drive, while relatively lower temperance and fairness scores manifest as the succession dispute weakness in later years.
