September 30th.
5 days before the opening of the Psion service, news about Psion and virtual currency came out simultaneously on portal sites, newspapers, and TV.
[New challenge of national SNS! 5 days before the opening of Cy Club with virtual currency of infinite possibilities.]
[Cyclub officially launches a new coin, ‘Cycash Coin’!]
[CEO Jeong Ji-seung “Cycash coin will be a new type of virtual currency that has never been experienced before.”]
[Investors who bought previously released acorn coins are upset. Notice of large-scale lawsuit against WHTS Company.]
The ‘Official Cy Club Coin’, which was only rumored on the Internet, officially got on the news.
The effect was immediate. The WHTS Company office was flooded with calls from the press and investors from the morning, and thanks to this, all phone lines in the office had to be unplugged.
“Everyone must have seen the news, so I think they have a rough idea of what the situation is like.”
The three of them are gathered in the drawing room.
I, Park Tae-sik, Lee So-young.
Here, Lee So-young’s expression, in particular, looks severely shady. As expected, she immediately asks the question.
“Is the content of the news true? that… … It is a story that there will be another cyclub coin besides the acorn coin.”
“It is largely true.”
“ah… … It was real.”
Lee So-young rolls her eyeballs here and there. He seems to be thinking hard about something.
“Are you concerned?”
“Obviously that should be normal, but strangely, I feel relieved first. Maybe it’s because the CEO is calm as usual.”
Park Tae-sik also helped with a word.
“I’m not particularly worried either. Because I believe you will do something However, it seems that the staff are highly agitated after seeing this news.”
The staff couldn’t help but be shaken. It was as if the coin I was working hard on was judged to be fake overnight.
Two people urge me with their eyes and leave. Come on, get the plan out of your head.
“I plan to take over the management of Cy Club before the counterfeit coin is listed. If we nail the acorn coin to the official nail, the whole situation will be resolved neatly.”
“How are you going to take over the management? Jeong Ji-seung must have his eyes wide open. Would you like to try to negotiate?”
“The time has passed for a gentlemanly solution. You have to take it by force.”
I told the staff that I had recruited the head of Cy Club’s development team and that I had decided to buy the shares publicly.
Lee So-young seemed to like the plan and immediately clapped her hands with a ‘clap’ sound.
“Acquisition of shares is the surest way. There will be no room for gossip.”
Then Park Tae-sik comes up with an opinion that seems to be more concerned than positive.
“I am also in favor of the response method. But isn’t the time too tight? There are only two days left before the fake coin is listed on the exchange.”
“Two and a half days to be exact.”
“Anyway, to fill the majority in the meantime, I need to buy an additional 37% of the stake.”
It would not be easy to buy shares in an ordinary company. Especially now, when a new service is about to be launched.
However, the current state of Cy Club was like a rotten tree that could fall over with a simple blow.
“I think it will take less than two days until the majority?”
“Are you serious about that?”
“I am always sincere.”
Park Tae-sik tilts his head with a doubtful expression.
“Why don’t we take a step back and aim after the release of Psion? If Psion’s opening performance is poor, the employees will want to sell their shares.”
“Taesik, there’s no need for that, so we’re going right now.”
I turn on my cell phone and show my personal mailbox.
In my mailbox, there were dozens of emails from Cy Club employees saying they wanted to sell their shares.
“No, what are these people? The company’s new service will be open soon, but you’re selling your stake before that?”
Not only Park Tae-shik, but even Lee So-young look at me with puzzled expressions.
“In the first place, the insiders know better the rise and fall of an organization.”

3 days until the release of Cyon.
The Cy Club development room is busy with last-minute work. However, if you look closely inside, there is a strange atmosphere somewhere.
It has been like this ever since WHTS Company made a proposal a few days ago.
30 million won per 1% stake.
It was an amount that would appeal to ordinary office workers. Especially if the salary was overdue for more than two months, like the current Cy Club, there was nothing to say.
However, selling the stake is tantamount to betraying the current CEO Jeong Ji-seung.
That’s why everyone was continuing their company life, not revealing it on the outside, only paying attention.
“Have you decided what to do, senior?”
“What decision?”
“I mean the stake. You asked the other party to decide whether or not to sell it by tomorrow.”
Even in the company break room, the material that comes out as the first hit every time was a share issue.
The senior employee who was supposed to answer turned his gaze to the other side, where the ashtray was.
“I am not selling. I will sell it knowing what will happen to the company if I sell it.”
“Still, the chance to receive 3,000 per 1% is not common. To be honest, the fact that our company’s valuation is 5 billion is a thing of the past.”
“So you want to sell?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t sell either. If Psion succeeds this time, the value of the stake may soar.”
“yes. ha ha ha… … .”
When the conversation has reached this point, the server room employee who was smoking next to you first interrupts the conversation.
“I sent an email saying I would sell it.”
At his bold words and actions, the two employees stutter as if embarrassed.
“What if the representative changes after selling it?”
“If it changes, it changes. I can’t even pay the rent because I don’t have money right now, so it’s a big deal to change the owner of the company?”
“… … .”
“And the head coach Gong said that yesterday. I have to be prepared for this project even if it fails. To put it bluntly, what will we have left if we own the stake and fail this project?”
The two people who were listening to the story turned their eyes in opposite directions as if they had promised.
“I heard that WHTS Company only buys up to 50% of the shares, but I don’t think there is much time left.”
“There were hardly any people selling them, right?”
“joy. I tell you not to be funny. Even if everyone says that, it is clear that they are only thinking of selling quickly and jumping.”
Just then, the door to the break room opens and CEO Jeong Ji-seung enters.
When the surprised employees get up and try to bow their heads, he shakes his hand to dissuade them.
“are you okay. Don’t mind me, just smoke what you’ve been smoking.”
Even if I told him not to worry, it was useless. Employees hurriedly extinguish cigarettes and leave the break room as if running away.
“Ugh, I can’t just kill that traitor bastard.”
Cigarette smoke was still rising from the ashtray. Jeong Ji-seung stares at it for a long time before muttering.
“I can’t help it. I don’t like it, but I have no choice but to pack carrots.”

Jeong Ji-seung gathered all the staff in the evening and arranged a dinner party.
The place is a meat buffet near the company.
It was distasteful to have employees dine out at this time when time is like gold, but there was no choice. Shouldn’t you turn off the fire that’s on your feet right now?
“Today is my special shoot, so feel free to order additional menus as well. Let me know if you want to have a drink. got it?”
Since it was a place I usually come to often, the staff sat down and started grilling the meat.
Before long, the smell of pork belly being cooked to a golden brown spreads. Originally, it’s normal to have a drink going around at this point and a friendly atmosphere.
For some reason, today, only the meat was chewed, and the bottle of alcohol on the table was still there.
“Does everyone look tired? Still, you need to eat meat to gain strength. Manager Kim over there, pour yourself a drink. You were good at something last time.”
Deputy Kim, who was pointed out, stands up awkwardly and inserts a spoon into the beer lid. Then let’s flip it quickly ‘Pong!’ The lid flew to the ceiling with a sound.
As usual, applause came out, but the atmosphere strangely drooped.
“I am not happy today. I’m Deputy Kim. Shall we start with somaek?”
“How can I roll it up?”
“Let’s do the loyalist we did last time. hey there Don’t just be idly by, set a glass.”
Deputy Kim put a soju glass on top of a beer glass and dropped it, or he did tricks by standing the glasses in a row.
Afterwards, we even made a toast to show the spirit of fighting, but the atmosphere was still lukewarm.
‘What are these bastards doing today? Did you pretend to be a group?’
Jeong Ji-seung doesn’t want to continue like this, so he decides to present the news that the staff will most welcome.
“Now, everyone, stop what you are doing for a moment and pay attention. I will make an important announcement from now on.”
Even after the eyes of the staff gathered, Jeong Ji-seung paused for a while before opening his mouth.
“I know you guys are having a hard time. why i don’t know that So, I always said thank you verbally, but today I want to express my thanks materially.”
widely.
Jung Ji-seung puts out a shopping bag on the desk. Inside were dozens of envelopes filled with cash.
“Oh oh! Geumilbong!”
“Thank you, CEO!”
There was definitely a reaction this time. I thought I would only put in 100,000 won, but I thought it was a good idea to put in 200,000 won.
Jeong Ji-seung quickly puts out the next card before the warm atmosphere ends.
“And the news that we are launching a virtual currency this time, everyone knows, right?”
The noisy restaurant becomes quiet like a lie.
“Cycash coin, because if our company does well, the price goes up as well, right? The price jumps 10 times, even 20 times. It’s kind of like a stock.”
After a long explanation of virtual currency, which he did not know well, he knocked the table with a ‘thump!’ knock down loudly
“ruler! I will especially give our employees the right to buy Cycash coins at 40% price.”
At the same time as this announcement, I thought that applause and cheers would pour out from the staff. However, the reality went beyond unresponsiveness and became cold.
“hmm… … You guys don’t know much about virtual currency, so it seems to come to me, but if you buy it now, you can earn more than lottery later? Didn’t you see the news that cryptocurrency has risen 4,000 times since its inception?”
I’m so busy trying to explain it, but the phone calls. The sender is Minsung Na of Beat Hit.
Jeong Ji-seung wrinkled his brow and answered the phone.
-older brother! Did you see the news that just broke?
My ears hurt from screaming. Jeong Ji-seung further distorts his already crumpled impression.
From noble mtl dot com
“How can I know if I say that?”
-News has emerged that WHTS Company has designated Acorn Coin as the official currency of Cy Club.
“gibberish! What authority do they have?”
– It is said that he acquired 84% of Cy Club’s shares.
The moment he heard the sound of 84%, Jeong Ji-seung thought his ears were wrong.
Jeong Ji-seung’s stake in Cy Club was 10%. If so, doesn’t that mean that all but one or two of the people sitting here sold their shares?
“Hey, you traitor bastards! Beast-like bastards who don’t even know the grace that raised them!”
Jeong Ji-seung rolls his eyes and grabs the collar of a nearby employee.
“it’s you? nudge! Did you give it to that new blue guy?”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“You are right! you bastard! I recognized it from the time I toasted!”
He grabs and threatens any employee sitting nearby.
Employees who sneakily avoid him.
Then I can’t stand it and start to run out of the store.
“Where? won’t you stand there? Mr. X, do I sound funny? Stand there!”
No matter how badly they used it, none of the staff stopped.
In an instant, the restaurant became sluggish. All that was left was the chatter from the next table.
Jung Ji-seung grinds his teeth by himself and picks up his phone.
“hey. Minsung. are you listening Let’s go to our suit. It’s the same as if you file a lawsuit and fall over with an official ticket, he can’t do anything either.”
