The large-scale protest to withdraw social mining started with terrestrial news, and spread to newspapers and portal news.
Despite the media’s fuss, however, investors’ reaction was calm.
Rather, in the virtual currency community, articles supporting the decision of the WHTS Company were also frequently posted.
“Have you seen the atmosphere of the Internet? Public opinion has turned in favor of our company.”
“I was also surprised. A popular article on the community main page was an analysis that said we should buy more acorns.”
“There was a popular article that used to curse us until yesterday… … .”
“It’s really amazing. I think someone used magic.”
WHTS Company employees were equally surprised by the reversed public opinion.
How could public opinion, which was fiercely opposed to social mining until just yesterday, be overturned in just one day?
In the midst of speculation among the employees, Lee So-young, the team leader, enters the office.
“Good morning everyone.”
Employees of the development team step closer to Lee So-young as a group. As the team leader, she thought that she might know the inside story.
“Captain, what happened? Investors’ public opinion has completely turned over.”
“Wasn’t yesterday’s meeting ended after the protesters ran over it? I thought I was ruined, but a great twist!”
“that’s right. There was even news about a fight.”
Questions from four or five people surround one Soyoung Lee. She smiles awkwardly and waves her hand.
“It’s something I don’t know much about.”
“If the team leader doesn’t know, no one really knows… … Any guesses? It just can’t change public opinion.”
Guessing.
Lee So-young pondered for a while, wondering what was going on. Then I remembered what CEO Shin Woo-hyuk said yesterday.
“The representative said this yesterday.”
Employees glisten with anticipation. But the answer that came out of her mouth was close to catching a floating sound.
“The truth works.”
She continues talking while the staff tilt their heads as a group.
“Because the representative said that we should sincerely persuade the protesters. So I prepared hard while being dubious, but wouldn’t that have worked?”
Lee So-young said her words seriously, but the expression on the staff’s face is still a question mark.
In a way, it was natural. Even Lee So-young herself, who spoke out, did not think that her sincerity was communicated.
Then, one of the employees finds the post that caused this incident.
“manager! this is it! This has turned public opinion upside down!”
Other employees than Lee So-young rushed to the staff positions they shouted at first.
A video of a meeting review posted by the protesters was displayed on the employee’s monitor.
The number of views of the video is 220,000.
Considering that the video was uploaded last night, it was an amazing figure.
-To be honest, I was surprised when I was invited to the meeting place. The company really did a lot of preparation. To my shame, I… … .
In the video, the man confesses without hesitation what happened at the protest site yesterday.
Then, an audio file secretly recorded at the meeting site was released, and from this point on, public opinion in the chat room was overturned.
“really… … Was it sincere?”
Lee So-young, who was watching the video, muttered in surprise. Then the other employees also make a fuss and argue.
“Incredible. After all, I don’t think the CEO of the company does anything.”
“Iknow, right. I feel ashamed that I thought it was ridiculous earlier. I didn’t even know it was the CEO’s big picture… … .”
“It’s not like the big picture. Because the representative approached me sincerely, the other side also came out with a sincere answer.”
For a while, the employees chatted about the representative’s sincerity, saying that he was great.
Then the words stop.
“What are you talking about?”
CEO Shin Woo-hyuk, who is the party to this case, appeared.
The development room staff ran away to their seats as if they had promised, and Lee So-young faced him alone.
“no. just… … Oh, right. I was talking about the nice weather today.”
After Lee So-young spat out the words, she felt sorry for herself. Outside, there were a lot of dark clouds, so it was not unusual when it rained.
“Soyoung seems to like cloudy days.”
“No, that’s right. I hate direct sunlight. ha ha ha… … By the way, why did you come to the development room?”
He smiles and looks at himself. Lee So-yeong suppresses the tremors by forcing herself to hold her breath.
“I came to tell you in advance because I think it will be necessary to issue a new acorn coin.”
“A new issue, now?”
“yes. We need about 30 million more.”
Since Acorn Coin is a virtual currency with no limit on quantity, the developer was able to print it indefinitely.
However, when a new coin was printed, investors also learned in real time, so it was necessary to be cautious.
“It is said that public opinion has calmed down, but if we print an additional 30 million copies, there will be a strong backlash.”
“If that’s your problem, don’t worry.”
Lee So-young tried to ask, ‘Why?’ reflexively, but closed her mouth.
Yesterday was the same, and he was always right about what he said, so I thought I could just trust him and follow him.
“all right. How long do we have to keep 30 million ready?”

In the office of President Shin Jeong-eui, the lights are brightly lit until late at night.
The reason he remained in the office until this time, who usually left work on time, was because of the rumors spread by the Korean media.
[WHTS Company suddenly creates an additional 30 million Acorn Coins.]
[What is the purpose of the newly created acorn coin for additional investment in Soft Poe? Softpaw said, “I can’t give you an exact answer yet.”]
[Due to softpo investment rumors, Acorn Coin soared by 28%!]
Chairman Jeong-eui Shin, who heard the news, couldn’t help but be embarrassed. This is because he had never considered the additional investment of Acorn Coin.
In response, he directly contacted Daniel Shin, and the reply that came back was spectacle.
– We don’t know why these rumors spread. Now that this has happened, how about making additional investments?
I was stunned. No matter how confident I was, I decided to invest, but this case was an act that went beyond the limit.
“It’s like a goyan guy. If you thought that I would give you additional investment, you are mistaken.”
At that time, the secretary who was looking at the laptop cautiously opened her mouth.
“President. I think there is some truth in what he says.”
“what? You are the Genga who defends that thunder naked!”
“It could be. However, when it comes to which side is profitable, it is the right side to invest in.”
Chairman Jeong-eui Shin was uncomfortable, but he still decided to listen to the story to the end.
“When we invested in Acorn Coin, the market price was $9. But didn’t it go up to $50 in just one month?”
“I heard it went down to $30 again?”
“It is a temporary drop caused by the news of the introduction of social mining. If the growth of Watts draws a steady upward curve, mining is not a problem at all.”
Chairman Jeong-Eui Shin also nodded as he agreed with this statement. To them, Acorn Coin was just a means to invest in Watts.
“Are you expecting acorns to go up to $50 again?”
“Assuming that Watts continues its global growth as it is now, I think it will easily pass $100.”
“hmm. 100 dollars… … .”
If there is an investment product with a 100% rate of return, it is right to invest unconditionally. Even so, there was a reason why Chairman Shin Jeong-eui couldn’t make a decision.
It was because the investment product was virtual currency, not stocks, bonds, or spot.
‘Is it right to invest more money in virtual currency that has no substance?’
If WHTS Company discarded the acorn coin and printed a new coin, the entire investment could have been lost.
He is an investor, not a gambler.
In order for this work to be an investment, not a gamble, it was necessary to find out the other person’s true intentions.
“I’ll have to meet and talk to you in person.”

Social mining protests that once spread like wildfire quickly disappeared.
There was also the aftermath of the headwind of public opinion, but more than that, the acorn coin market jumped again and the dissatisfaction of investors disappeared.
Na Min-seong, who wandered around day and night protesting, could not hide his despondency.
Still, the results weren’t bad. If the price of Acorn Coin rises, the price of the twin Arirang Coin will also rise.
“what? Why do you keep going down?”
Contrary to Na Min-seong’s expectations, the price of Arirang Coin showed little sign of rising.
Arirang Coin, which had been moving sideways in the low $1 range, broke $0.8, and after hesitating for a while, it came down to the $0.5 line.
Then, in the afternoon, a big good news was announced.
[Soft Pow, additional investment in acorn coin?]
It was still at the level of rumors, but originally, all the good news on this floor were like this.
The price of Acorn Coin, which soared even before the news broke, soared 28% at the same time as the media report.
“Good. If this is the case, Arirang is unconditionally a rice cake.”
However, this time, the market price of Arirang Coin was unsteady.
Curious, I went to the exchange and saw that someone was selling Arirang coins, which were about to go up in price.
‘The good news is out, but you keep throwing the quantity? What kind of bastard are you?’
Na Min-seong made a call to the Arirang Coin development team. But for some reason no one is answering the phone. Reluctantly, he calls Choi Myeong-ja.
-You cannot answer the phone right now. Please try again next time.

I had an ominous feeling. And this hunch was never wrong.
He immediately drove the car to Seongbuk-dong.
Sigh.
It is a particularly large detached house in Seongbuk-dong, a byword for wealthy villages.
That is Choi Myeong-ja’s house.
He muttered incessantly to himself while driving and getting out of the car.
“I don’t think so. It won’t be. I hope so.”
When the car is stopped at the entrance of the mansion, bodyguards approach.
They knew Na Min-seong’s face, but today instead of letting them in, they blocked the front.
“Hey, get out of the way!”
“I can’t go in without my wife’s instructions.”
“Hey, sh*t! I’m in a hurry! Get out of the way quickly!”
Na Min-seong recklessly pushed the bodyguard and tried to enter. At that time, the sky turns upside down as the body floats.
thud!
An excruciating pain pours from his back. At the same time, the strength is released and the body does not move at all.
“Keuk… … you son of a b*tch.”
… … .”
How long have you been on the floor in that state?
In terms of experience, it was only after nearly an hour had passed that the person he wanted to meet walked out.
“What is so noisy?”
It was Choi Myung-ja’s voice.
Na Min-seong squeezed even the strength he had been sucking on to stand up. On the way, the bodyguard caught him again, so instead of struggling, he squeezed his voice.
“Did you sell Arirang coins?”
“okay. sold it.”
“Why did you dig? Now the only thing left is for the price to rise again.”
She glances at Na Min-seong and frowns in annoyance.
“You said you were going up before, right? But what was the result? You keep falling.”
“This time, it really goes up. When an acorn rises, the rescue machine that follows it rises… … .”
“Oh, I don’t know. I didn’t want to bother with virtualization anymore, so I just told them to sell everything. It’s not like you have to find the money.”
There is a good news that will skyrocket, but where is the case where the developer throws the quantity? I knew it was stupid, but I never dreamed that the goal would be so empty.
“Do you know how much I lost because of you? How are you going to do that?”
Na Min-seong gnashed his teeth. In my mind, I wanted to spit in that b*tch’s face right away and leave this place.
In the midst of such thoughts, fear suddenly strikes.
‘If I leave like this… … Will that b*tch leave me alone?’
The other person has only shallow knowledge, but is never a stupid person. So, I will try to thoroughly eliminate anything that could be a hindrance.
“… … .”
There was only one option left. He immediately bangs his head on the floor.
“Madam, right now, Acorn Coin has risen by over 28%. Arirang Coin has a large drop, so it can go up even more. So please give me one more chance!”
When there was no answer, Na Min-seong gnashed his teeth and banged his forehead on the floor.
thud. thud. thud.
Once or twice, if there is no blood, take it until it comes out.
I was overcome with pain, but I couldn’t stop. Because this was the only way he could survive in Korea.
