'The big player in the Daegu manufacturing industry' Shin Hong-sik reveals a dramatic turnaround story of starting a company with monthly sales of 300 million won after receiving a salary of 300,000 won.
In the episode of 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' (hereinafter 'Neighbor Millionaire'), co-produced by EBS and E Channel, which airs tonight (18th) at 9:55 p.m., titled 'The Double Life of the Landlord Chairman with Golden Land,' the main character Shin Hong-sik, who sparked interest by opening a Starbucks in a traditional Hanok with a history of 100 years, will appear. 'Neighbor Millionaire' will unfold the tumultuous life of Shin Hong-sik, from being the fifth son of a wealthy family with no lack to living in a one-room apartment with a salary of 300,000 won, and finally succeeding as the chairman of a top 5 manufacturing company in Daegu with monthly sales of 300 million won.
Shin Hong-sik grew up in a wealthy environment thanks to his father, who made a fortune from a stone factory when he was young. His family home was a notable mansion spanning 280 pyeong, and they owned a TV and a camera 70 years ago, making them a recognized wealthy family. However, after persuading his father to start a business in his twenties, Shin Hong-sik faced unexpected accidents that led to losses equivalent to the price of an apartment, resulting in him being kicked out of his home with only a blanket.
Having started living in a rented one-room apartment, Shin Hong-sik only began earning money under someone else's guidance at the age of 29, when he was at rock bottom. He recalls, 'Receiving a salary of 300,000 won, our family of three, including my wife and child, lived on that.' Then, about 10 years later, in the early 1990s, Shin Hong-sik made an astonishing comeback as the chairman of a top 5 manufacturing company in Daegu with monthly sales of 300 million won. The harsh life lessons and secrets to success that 71-year-old Shin Hong-sik tearfully confessed will be revealed in the 'Neighbor Millionaire' broadcast.
Meanwhile, Seo Jang-hoon, who visited Shin Hong-sik's home, is left speechless upon seeing the 1,000 paintings that fill his 110 pyeong villa, including the living room, storage room, study, and master bedroom. In addition to paintings, high-priced moon jars, known as 'the flower of art collection,' are placed throughout, attracting attention.
When Seo Jang-hoon asked, 'Are you investing in art with these paintings?' Shin Hong-sik shook his head and replied, 'I have never sold a painting.' He also admitted that he did not calculate how much he spent on purchasing paintings, stating, 'The real reason I collected 1,000 paintings is different.' The story about the real dream Shin Hong-sik harbors with his 1,000 paintings can be confirmed through 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' on Wednesday, the 18th, at 9:55 p.m.
