small experiment
What Eugene believed was rather Peter’s responsibility.
Peter has already received an investment from Eugene that no other company has offered him.
And I know very well that it’s never free.
Peter is by no means the kind of person who can betray other people’s expectations.
On the one hand, there is still a sense of responsibility for the employees who believed in him and followed him all the way to New York.
Even though Peter had already paid a large portion of the price he received from handing over his stake to Eugene to the employees more than enough for their hard work, Peter felt a debt to their lives.
Peter was such a man. At the same time, he was also a person with a delicate sensibility to the point of being hurt by his love for an old lover who would give up his life with whom he had been living for several years and would have a honeymoon and a wealthy real estate agent in San Francisco.
In many ways, he is a delicate young man that is different from other entrepreneurs Eugene knows.
Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Jobs… … Many of the great founders who have built companies large enough to leave their mark in history have one thing in common.
They are mostly aggressive, self-righteous, and rarely support the opinions of others.
In a way, they are so focused on their own success that they almost feel like a sociopath or antisocial personality disorder.
Sometimes, they do not feel any remorse for driving out a co-founder who has been through difficult times together or monopolizing the profits from the company’s growth.
Of course, it is natural to not hesitate to do anything to beat external competitors.
In fact, it is also true that it takes a lot of relentless decisions to start from a garage and build a company worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars.
A warm heart to be considerate of others is necessary only in social life, but it is only a weakness in the harsh business world, where the loser is left with only the reality of bankruptcy.
In a sense, the management of a company can be seen as a battlefield in the age of warring States where only blood cannot be seen and indiscriminately fights each other.
That is why such a ruthless figure of a successful entrepreneur is also a common sight in the founding monarch who founded a nation.
Except in very exceptional cases, this is usually the case.
And Peter Hayworks is one such exception.
Peter Hayworks was a human, in fact, a very human man.
He built an IT company that is as huge as Google or Facebook at the age of just 30, and the AI he created is powerful enough to shake up the global financial world.
But he’s spent decades working with most of his entrepreneurial colleagues, making them all rich, with no common partner betrayal or discord.
On the other hand, Peter is also a man with a soft heart that he will never forget his first love with him as a child.
Even at the age of forty, he was still a refusal to marry, and of course, there were many women fluttering around him, but under such conditions, a scandal that would normally occur did not happen.
It was around the time that Peter finally established a family and settled down in his 50s.
Until then, Peter was the founder of a huge IT company worth well over a trillion dollars, and even though he never crossed three fingers on the list of wealthy people, he only had a quiet private life where even the slightest noise did not come out.
At least, that was the future of Peter, as Eugene knew.
His late marriage made quite a splash in the public eye, and a few years after the wedding of the century, a documentary about Peter’s success story and his personal life was aired on Netflix, which once again caused a stir.
Eugene also watched the documentary starring Peter Hayworks and Samantha Hayworks, and was able to understand a little more about the character of Peter Hayworks.
“Is the helicopter coming?”
Peter said, raising his hand and pointing to the helicopter approaching the ship.
“ah! I see you have arrived. I just had an appointment today, but I changed the location to here.”
“Looks like I’ve taken away my busy time.”
Peter was also aware that Eugene was here because of him.
“Sometimes I also want to see something cool.”
“Eugene is so weird. I don’t think he’s that rich. It doesn’t help but makes people feel comfortable… … .”
“no. It’s all booze. Wouldn’t this make you more dependent on me?”
“If that’s a trick, it’s fine. No matter how much I am, I can tell if I am sincere or not.”
“It would be nice if you accepted it that way. Welcome, Samantha.”
Eugene waved her hand to greet the red-haired woman who got off the helicopter and walked towards the main deck.
“It’s a nice boat. Thank you for calling me here.”
“This is Peter Hayworks. He is the most romantic man in the world.”
“Nice to meet you. This is Samantha Westwood. I want to introduce you to the most romantic woman in Manhattan.”
Sociable, she reached out to Peter first.
“Nice to meet you. It’s gloomy Peter.”
“Oh my goodness! Is something bad going on?”
“Today is the wedding of Peter’s ex-girlfriend.”
Eugene deliberately tries to speak sarcastically.
“Really? So, are you two here planning some really big plans for revenge? If so, let me in too. The truth is, I broke up with my boyfriend not long ago.”
“Vengeance… … It would be fun.”
“Actually, no one here fits the word revenge like Eugene.”
Samantha said with a smile.
“yes? What does that mean?”
“Did you not know? What Eugene did. I took down the biggest corporation in Korea for revenge.”
“Really?”
Not only Peter, but in fact, to many Americans, Eugene is still just a rich man from a foreign country.
The American media did not report on the details of his overseas activities, and Americans do not pay much attention to him.
Americans are completely interested in what is happening in their country.
It’s intriguing for Eugene to drink at a party with a famous Hollywood actress, but nobody cares about her relationship with a Korean conglomerate.
Of course, when it comes to England or France, I might be a little interested.
Eugene knew it all too well.
There are so many ways to go in order to be loved by Americans in America.
“Samantha works for a new charitable foundation. There is no one more capable than Samantha.”
“You don’t have to float like that. It’s enough just to join Eugene’s foundation.”
“ah! You said you were starting a charitable foundation? It was huge.”
As if he had heard the news, Peter was interested.
“I mainly work on projects to alleviate poverty in the Third World.”
“That’s a really cool thing. Frankly, America is acting so irresponsibly, sucking the world’s wealth.”
“Right. They are refusing even proposals for cooperation to reduce carbon emissions while emitting the most carbon and endangering humanity.”
Even if Eugene didn’t do anything, the two quickly came together.
In a moment, the two begin to fall into a frantic conversation.
It seemed that Eugene’s small experiment would yield results in some way.
If they were originally, these two people would have met for the first time 20 years later.
“It is enough to satisfy all hunger in Africa with only wasted supplies in the United States.”
“It’s incredible that there are people starving in America right now.”
The two quickly continue their conversation with the topic of social issues.
Samantaya is a person who immediately entered the social movement after graduating from law school, so it is natural to have such a tendency.
But Peter is not particularly special. He is from California, the origin of the left in the United States, and also from Silicon Valley.
As we all know, many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs support Democrats and have a positive attitude toward social justice.
Most of the founders of giant IT companies such as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, which are now called MAGA or FANNG, are supporters of the Democratic Party, and they support huge amounts of political money every year.
It was quite interesting to Eugene, who first entered American society, that, unlike Korea, they do not hesitate to engage in cruel acts like wolves in business, but also support left-wing policies toward society.
In a sense, it may be because they have the idea that the balanced growth of society as a whole is also beneficial to them.
This is probably because more people know that they will use computers, use social media services, and watch advertisements when they can afford it.
“I don’t think simple philanthropy means anything. I think it is important to create a foundation for each of us to become financially independent.”
“I just can’t see it that way. Low income is a structural problem, so there are limits to economic independence. That doesn’t mean you can’t change the social structure from the outside.”
Eugene celebrated the start of his experiment while watching the two of them engaged in a heated discussion.
This is an experiment that only one Eugene in the world can do.
What will happen when a lover who will meet and fall in love in the twilight of life after going through a lot of things in the future meets in their 20s full of passion? It can’t be that I’m curious.
In a sense, it is very cruel. If left alone, two people who will always be each other’s resting place may end up in catastrophe due to an early meeting.
However, Eugene decided not to give much importance to such a tragic outcome.
Anyway, in this life, Eugene will have a lot of influence on the world.
Sometimes, thanks to Eugene, someone will have a better life than it used to be, and for someone else, it may be the other way around.
So they come to the conclusion that if they are afraid that Eugene’s actions will have any effect on them, they should do nothing.
It can’t be. Eugene already has the power of a country’s leader.
His wealth and influence will change the world in some way.
In addition, Eugene does not have the slightest hesitation in changing the world.
While watching the conversation between the two for a while, I see another helicopter flying over.
“I called a few more friends, would that be okay?”
Eugene asked Peter.
“Sure. This is Eugene’s yacht, right? It’s also Eugene’s time.”
“Good luck. They are coming.”
“uh? Harry? Martin? What are you doing?”
Peter shouted at the group approaching with a startled expression.
“I came to tease Peter because he said he was full.”
“It was a pity that he ran away because he didn’t want to see his depressed face, but Eugene invited us. Thank you, Eugene. It’s a nice yacht.”
“I thought I was going to be choking while crying, but it’s better than I thought.”
Peter’s colleagues seem to go beyond simply working together.
Everyone was making fun of their boss without being polite.
“everyone… … thank you.”
Peter could not hide his moved face as he looked at his colleagues who flew to this point to comfort him and Eugene, who had prepared this place for him.
“Looks like good colleagues.”
Samantha said to Eugene with a satisfied expression on her face.
“Nothing is as solid as an organization with trust and friendship.”
“Iknow, right. I don’t know what they do, but they all seem like good people.”
“I wish Samantha’s organization would do the same.”
“ha… … That’s it.”
Samantha sighed and said. Organizing an organization that is just starting out will not be easy.
Moreover, from the start, it has the name of a charity with the largest amount of money in the world, so it will create a lot of pressure for young leaders who are only in their twenties.
Samantha is considered too young to take on large departments under the acclaimed general manager Brian Deeds.
“I don’t know much about that, so I trust Samantha completely.”
