Married Life Revealed
A lot happened while I was in New York.
Opening of Channel 7.
―Oh Myeong-woo: I’ll tell you the current situation!
―Myungwoo Oh: There are more than 100 million concurrent users.
―Oh Myung-woo: The whole world is accessing it like crazy.
Channel 7 was a box office hit.
As soon as the door opened at the scheduled time, users rushed in.
Earth Resource’s business has proven to be receiving intense media and public attention.
-Kim Shin: Good job. But isn’t there a lot of content?
-Oh Myung-woo: It’s okay. There are many people who bring videos from YouTube to the Earth channel.
―Oh Myung-woo: As soon as it started, a lot of videos were being registered. Entrepreneurial YouTube teams are also operating directly on the Earth channel. The same goes for individuals.
―Oh Myung-woo: They say that broadcasting stations also create accounts and upload broadcast programs.
―Kim Shin: Broadcasting stations?
-Myungwoo Oh: Oh. You couldn’t negotiate and purchase all the content on Earth Channel. Broadcasters all over the world put their content on Channel 7 and earn advertising money.
-Kim Shin: That’s right.
I was wondering if I should go to San Francisco in time for the opening of Channel 7.
I didn’t have anything to go to as a representative, so I left it entirely to Oh Myung-woo, and I can feel so reassured.
‘Let’s go forever, my friend. I’ll really pamper you.’
Oh Myung-woo felt like he didn’t know what I was thinking at all.
―Oh Myung-woo: It was a lot of pressure because they believed in me, but I think I managed to do well.
-Kim Shin: What do you mean? I believed you would do well.
―Oh Myung-woo: There are companies lining up to advertise on Channel 7. I’m thinking of doing a paid product that removes ads for users at $3 per month.
-Kim Shin: It’s okay. Good luck.
Channel 7’s success must have boosted Earth Resources’ value.
It may be a characteristic of the Internet business, but once the number of users is established, the rest is like swimming on land.
If there are more than 100 million users, economies of scale were possible no matter what.
Whether it’s playing online games or creating social media.
It is difficult to secure users, but it is not a problem to have a system for new services.
Following the US and Europe, it was attracting Asian users, but it was difficult to guess how far it would grow.
―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: The Korean government has signed contracts with Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca to purchase vaccines.
―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: The exact amount will be released soon, but I guess 20 million doses for Pfizer and Moderna and 10 million doses for AstraZeneca.
I heard that the Korean government has signed contracts with several vaccine companies.
Pfizer vaccine to be released in December.
It will be mass-produced and it will take longer for each country to deliver, but there was no option.
‘I want to sell K-vaccine, but I can’t help it.’
concluded contracts with other countries.
It’s not that I can’t make it if I try to get some of it out, but I didn’t want to do that.
‘Korea’s confirmed cases are 1,000 a day. The US has over 200,000 people. Even Europe is paralyzed.’
Even considering the difference in population, there are overwhelmingly more confirmed cases in countries that contracted vaccines first.
It didn’t seem right for 50 Americans or Europeans to die to save one Korean.
Lee Jong-yeop came with a rather big question.
“older brother. Boston Consulting Group’s New York office is proposing the acquisition of a major league club.”
“Major League?”
“The New York Mets are for sale.”
A baseball team based in New York.
Founded in 1962, it was a club where Korean player Park Chan-ho played for a while.
Although it has a rivalry with the Yankees in New York, it is a much weaker team and has not won a championship for a long time.
“It is owned by the Wilpon family, and they are selling it for $2.6 billion.”
“That is a lot of money.”
I didn’t like baseball.
When I just joined Arcor, there were so many people who watched the major leagues all night, even seniors in the company.
The major leagues had many fans in Korea and Japan.
“Crowds can’t come in because of the corona, and it seems like a lot of damage.”
“Take a step in the direction of taking over.”
“Yes. All right.”
Acquiring the New York Mets would open up a lot of ways to work with the Earth Channel.
‘Owning a baseball club, which is like life for Americans, will not easily lose interest from the media or the public, so the political world will not be able to exert excessive pressure.’
Buying influence with money.
It occurred to me that rich Russians owning an English soccer club must be for reasons beyond a hobby.
“This is John Waldron of Goldman Sachs.”
As we pursued block deals with various financial companies, the chairman of a world-class investment bank came to the hotel in person.
“This is Kim Shin. Thank you for coming all the way here.”
“You’re welcome. I really wanted to meet the representative. I sympathize with your economic outlook.”
“The economic outlook?”
“Yes. Astronomical liquidity to prevent a recession. When consumption and travel begin in earnest, inflation is expected to come as a result of the aftermath of Corona 19.”
“I think so too.”
To be honest, I didn’t expect that far.
I just predicted a bubble after seeing greed run rampant in the investment market.
“Goldman Sachs is forecasting inflation of more than 2.5% next year. The Fed will try to stop it, but it will be difficult.”
“I think we released too much liquidity.”
Conversation with the president of Goldman Sachs gave me confidence.
‘Even world-class financial companies say my judgment is correct. Then even if I’m wrong, I won’t be completely criticized.’

Rumors began to spread in American bookstores.
The story of Kim Shin’s ex-wife, who became very famous during the year, is publishing a book.
Kim Shin has recently been receiving the most attention from the public.
“There must be a lot of people who don’t even know that Kim Shin was married. She, my ex-wife, says she is publishing a book this time.”
“Was Kim Shin married?”
“They said they were married about a year ago.”
“Five. You’re still 32. There would be nothing wrong with such a short marriage.”
“Except that Shin Kim wouldn’t be interested in Elizabeth?”
It became a hot topic to the public enough to appear on a TV talk show.
-Kim Shin’s ex-wife?
-Five… … . Absolutely must read
―I don’t know if it’s someone else, but if it’s a book written by Kim Shin’s ex-wife, you should read it.
-I think it will be fun. I just fell asleep and woke up to Nasdaq and Alibaba. Isn’t this an episode where you sleep again?
―At that time, I couldn’t invest like now and was poor.
―You must have honed your investment sense from an early age.
It also received a lot of attention in Korea.
As orders from bookstores surged, 1.5 million copies of the first Korean edition alone had to be printed.
“It has become strange.”
“Isn’t it bad to have a lot of orders?”
Random Flower Publishing had no intention of actively selling Han Chae-won’s books.
I didn’t promote it hard, and I didn’t even send out ads.
Even so, it was inevitable that it would become known and the number of orders would increase.
“Once the order comes in, I take it. What comes next is not something a publisher can do.”
“Yes. We will proceed without a hitch.”
The title of Han Chae-won’s book had to be revised.
[I was like a dog when I married Kim Shin.]
The title of the book I initially decided on was too provocative.
―If you want to sell a lot of books, you have to have titles like this. Worse titles don’t matter if the public likes it!
There was a strong demand from writer Han Chae-won, so the person in charge actively persuaded me.
“Pre-orders are pouring in. It doesn’t have to be such an extreme title.”
―Aren’t you going to have to sell at least one more book? It should stand out from the title.
“From the publication of the book, it has become a hot topic for the public. If it is too stimulating, the book may not be sold due to a backlash from readers.”
-okay? Then I’ll do it for the good ones. I have a few things in mind.
[Endless Married Life with Kim Shin]
[50 Things Kim Shin’s Ex-Wife Reveals]
[Marriage with Kim Shin in detail]
For each title, the person in charge of the publisher cuts it right away.
“Should Kim Shin be included in the title?”
-yes. Wouldn’t the book sell 1 million more copies if Kim Shin joined? It’s a key publicity point.
“I don’t think you need to.”
-Ugh. Would you sell a book like this? You won’t have to pull noticeable aggro.
In the end, even the representative of the publisher came forward and decided on a really decent title.
[One Year of Married Life]
And the book was published immediately.
It was sold in bookstores and sold by storm, and readers’ reactions covered the Internet.
―Isn’t the woman who wrote this book crazy? lol
―How did this book actually come out?
-I read up to Chapter 3. I wondered what a wonderful married life it would be. Wow… … .
―I don’t usually get angry, but when I was reading a book, I got angry.
―My wife was an angel. I should be good at my mother-in-law’s house.
―I am afraid that I will meet such a wife. With the release of this book, the marriage rate in Korea dropped by more than 10%.
―Isn’t this 100% fiction? is this a true story? Really?
-Brother Shin Kim. I thought I was living a wonderful life full of success, but my marriage life was so dark.
– Nietzsche said that what doesn’t kill me will make me stronger. But what if you met Han Chae-won?
―Kim Shin-hyung couldn’t escape the fate of ‘Pong Pong Nam’ either.
―When Kim Shin-hyung asked for a divorce in the end, he said that the happiest time in his married life was washing dishes and removing mold in the bathroom. How should I understand this?
-Mulu?
―There was a part that I didn’t quite understand while reading it.
―It was interpreted right away. You can’t hear your wife nagging you while washing the dishes. The same goes for cleaning the bathroom. It’s safest when you’re doing something.
-ah… … . It was so mean.
―The story of adversity and hardship cannot seem so sad.
– Fortunately, the ending is a happy ending. Brother Kim Shin throws him to the villa and succeeds in running away.
―When I gave you a villa, I thought it was a waste, but I cursed at you as a hogu. Turns out, it was an excellent hand loss. You have to be this bold to hit the jackpot with derivatives.
The response from American readers was even more enthusiastic.
―I can’t believe the contents of this novel at all. But surprisingly, it’s all true.
-I lived a very difficult life.
―This book was written from the point of view of my ex-wife. But why am I empathizing with Kim Shin?
―I thought it would explode every time Kim Shin got hit. I salute him for his extraordinary patience.
-I didn’t fight until the end. It wasn’t violent. I kept my sanity.
―No matter what happens in the future, I will trust Kim Shin three times. He proved through his ex-wife that he deserved it.
―I thought you were a brilliant businessman who succeeded through Earth Channel. But his past made me cry.
-I cried for the first time after my father passed away. To see this book after 10 years and cry out of pity.
―Why do you make Kim Shin, the super-rich in the world’s top 5, shed tears with sympathy?
-If you are a man, you must cry.
Random Flower Publishing thought it was possible to sell 10 million copies.
When the book was published, orders from all over the world exploded.
