There has never been a president like this.
“Actually, the State Department is concerned about Eugene’s monopoly over the Korean economy.”
Sarah Green swipes information inside the State Department.
And for Eugene, I was able to listen to my friend’s story with a happy heart.
The Bureau of Information and Investigation, an intelligence agency under the US State Department, is famous for producing highly accurate information materials based on abundant data collected from overseas missions around the world.
It is even evaluated that the accuracy of the opinion polls conducted by the Information Survey Bureau itself is much higher than the opinion polls conducted by media organizations in each country.
This information spans a wide variety of fields, from simple data on influential figures in each country to civil society trends derived from public opinion polls and economic forecasts.
This information has a very high level of reliability because it is used as the main source of policy enforcement not only within the State Department but also in each administrative agency.
In the 2004 war in Iraq, it was the only US intelligence agency to report that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and also provided the most accurate information and analysis data in the Vietnam War.
Therefore, it is only natural that the State Department released information and analysis on Eugene and the future of the Korean economy.
“From our analysis, there is a 78% chance that the Korean economy will be completely subordinated to Eugene after four years.”
“What about the other 22%?”
For Eugene, that was even more curious.
“It was said that the Korean economy was thrown into chaos as the Cheil Group and Dasan Group raised their hands due to civil society resistance.”
“That means there’s a 22% chance of that.”
“Not only the Korean economy, but also the political world and civil society will all be thrown into chaos. A socialist revolution is possible. It would be the worst result for Korea. It will be an unacceptable situation for us as a United States. A government under such circumstances will undoubtedly become hostile to Eugene as well as to the United States.”
“Is it that far?”
As always, Eugene asked with an attitude that it was someone else’s business.
“Honestly, even the State Department doesn’t really understand Eugene’s intentions in making that decision.”
The State Department’s intelligence services are much more savvy outsiders than inside.
In fact, it would be the same as any intelligence agency would not be able to read Eugene’s mind.
“From the perspective of Eugene’s investment propensity so far, I think he made a bold investment in anticipation of a very big turning point for the Korean economy. But if you analyze the economic situation in Korea, it is also true that there is no reason to do so.”
“Well… … .”
“In that sense, Eugene’s choice is getting more attention. If we succeed in this investment as we have invested in Brexit and the Chinese stock market, it will yield results that cannot be compared to the past.”
Sarah Green As an individual, I don’t know, but the State Department’s intelligence agency seems to accept Eugene’s move as an investment concept.
“I announced that it was an investment of $500 billion over five years, so if you look at it from the outside, it should be taken as an investment for at least 10 years, right? It is a little different from Eugene’s investment propensity, but in terms of the size of the assets under management, it would be appropriate to focus on long-term investments by now.”
“You are looking right. Short-term investments are only possible when special events are expected.”
Eugene calmly agreed to Sarah Green’s words.
“Then it would be an unprecedented situation where the world’s top 10 economic spheres could fall into the hands of one person. It gives the State Department good reason to be nervous.”
“Fortunately, I am an American citizen.”
“Right. The fact that Eugene became a US citizen is fortunate for the United States and for you, Eugene. If Eugene was still a foreigner, you would be a second-level danger.”
“Step 2?”
“There are classifications according to the degree of risk to the national interest. The first stage is Russia, Iran, China, and so on. The second stage is countries like North Korea or Cuba.”
Eugene asked with a slightly absurd expression on her face.
“Are you saying I am a national risk?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Now think about the size of the short-term funds Eugene is moving. It could stumble a country’s economy at any moment. And that’s not a medium-sized country, but one of the top 10 economies.”
“Hmm. I’ve never even thought of it that way… … That’s right.”
“Honestly, the fact that Eugene is close with the president is also a problem. It has too much of an impact.”
“So is that a minus? Is it a plus?”
“It’s a contradiction. In fact, there are quite a few people inside the State Department who have animosity toward the president, to the point that some consider the president himself the greatest risk factor.”
At Sarah Green’s words, Eugene burst into laughter involuntarily. This is a really accurate analysis.
“Anyway, I don’t know what they are planning, but I expect that the influence on the Korean economy will go as Eugene thinks, as long as there are no abnormalities.”
“That’s good information.”
“And you might as well keep some distance from Alexei Feydorf.”
Eugene’s first approach to Sarah Green was because she was concerned about the prospect of marrying a dangerous man.
But, ironically, now, she is giving Eugene a warning.
“Alexei Fyodorf is from the FSB and is considered involved in a number of crimes.”
“That’s about as much as I know.”
In fact, there is nothing more foolish than thinking that, in a dictatorship, the person in charge of the dictator’s hidden assets is an ordinary person.
Even before Alexei offered to meet, Eugene had a list of people managing the slush funds of the Russian president as well as politicians of each country.
And many of those people are strong bones in the security and intelligence groups that dictators maintain to maintain their power.
Because the people a dictator can trust are usually people who do that kind of work.
“That doesn’t mean it’s not wise to cut ties with such a person.”
“It does. But Eugene doesn’t have to be friendly with the Russian president’s money manager, does he?”
“ah! Was Alexei doing that? I thought I was doing something a little risky, but now I am in the ordinary investment business.”
At Eugene’s words, Sarah Green raises her eyebrows slightly.
“You are better than me.”
She remembered that in their conversation, Eugene never mentioned that Alexei was managing the Russian president’s slush fund, nor did he say he knew it.
“Right. Alexei is the head of an investment management company from Russia. On the surface, I mean. In reality, however, a significant portion of the Russian president’s slush fund is being managed. At least 50 billion dollars, from our understanding, is the Russian President’s money. That’s more than half of Alexei’s money.”
“That’s great. 500 billion dollars. Isn’t that too much money for a president, no matter how much?”
Eugene asked the question with a surprised expression, but Sarah Green knew well that Eugene knew everything.
It is not possible for one person to invest a huge amount of 50 billion dollars. Unless he’s the head of a country like Russia or China.
The Russian tsar is known to have virtually the world’s greatest wealth.
In fact, the person who is mentioned as the richest person in the world tends to change from time to time.
Most of them are the heads of dictatorships. It is estimated that the Saud dynasty of Saudi Arabia, the Abu Dhabi dynasty of the United Arab Emirates, and the Chakri dynasty of Thailand each have wealth ranging from $1 trillion to hundreds of billions of dollars.
This is because the wealth of such dictatorial royalty is not known to the outside, so it is only possible to guess.
Even compared to the wealth of this royal family, the wealth of other dictators is more difficult to grasp.
This is because most of them are not owned by them, but as property of close associates.
The wealth of the Russian president is also estimated to be at least $1 trillion and at least $200 billion in that sense.
And, perhaps, at this point in time, the person who has the broadest approach to the wealth of these royal families and dictators is Eugene.
“Are you or are you planning on doing business with Alexei?”
Sarah remembered what Eugene had said to Alexei the day before and asked.
“I tell a lot of my friends a few things that will help them with their investments. Especially these days, we are talking a lot about cryptocurrency.”
“I heard that the Ministry of Finance is investigating Eugene and cryptocurrency.”
It seems that Sarah Greene has friends not only in the State Department, but also in various administrations.
“It seems that the information that Eugene continues to invest in cryptocurrency has been coming in for two years. And the exchange issue.”
“There will be no illegal activities.”
“That’s it. It was very clean. They don’t seem to be very involved in the recent cryptocurrency boom.”
“As I said before, safety is the most important thing.”
Sarah seemed to pass on the matter for the time being, and returned to her original purpose.
“okay. Are you saying that you and Alexei are also working on cryptocurrency?”
“Probably that is the case. It’s about the Russian cryptocurrency exchange.”
“Hmm… … I see. I won’t ask any more. Anyway, I just wanted to convey my concern that having a relationship with Alexei too deeply is not a good thing.”
“Do you even know that it was Donald Trump Jr. who introduced you to that Alexei?”
“So that’s the biggest problem. haha… … .”
This is something that not only Sarah Green, but also the State Department, and even key figures in the US administration, find it frustrating.
Until the last century, America’s greatest enemy was the Soviet Union.
And even in the 21st century, Russia is always classified as a virtual enemy.
However, the current president and his son not only had a close relationship with the person in charge of the Russian president’s slush fund, but also introduced him to his acquaintances, increasing his influence in the United States.
Even after claiming that Russia had significantly interfered in the presidential election, it has not been able to properly settle the issue.
In short, there has never been a president like this.
Even not so long ago, evidence of Russian interference in the presidential election continued to surface, and the Senate passed economic sanctions against Russia. It is truly an unprecedented situation.
And this problem causes many other problems not only in the US but also in Russia later on.
As Russia, they supported Trump to exert influence on the United States, but the return was the bad news of economic sanctions, and they are forced to take a lot of unreasonable actions to settle this.
