The car with Chairman Jeong-eui Shin and I is on its way back to the airport after making a big loop around Jeju Island.
In the meantime, the topic of our discourse has gone beyond this investment case and headed for a farther future.
“If this investment is successful, you will become the owner of a billion-dollar company. A huge success for a young fellow like you.”
He didn’t know it, but WHTS Company’s holdings had already surpassed $1 billion. It’s just that it wasn’t revealed because all of those assets were changed to virtual currency or other cash assets.
Of course, there was no reason to say such a thing, so I waited for the words to continue.
“So what do you want to do with all this money?”
“Yeah, of course… … Shouldn’t the company grow more?”
“how much more? Like Korean chaebol families? Or like me?”
I just ran forward looking forward to growing the company, but I never thought about a clear goal.
“Seeing you reminds me of my youth. I was a human who only knew how to make money, earn money, and earn more.”
He muttered as he stared into the void as if recalling an old thought.
“When I think about it now, it’s really funny. Do you just earn money without thinking about where to spend it? How foolish is this?”
“Money is hard to earn, but isn’t it easy to spend it? So you must have only thought about making money.”
“Do you really think so?”
Without thinking deeply, I nodded. Then he laughs like he’s having fun.
“Heh heh heh. Yes, let me tell you once. Where are you going to spend that much money?”
When it comes to consumption, what immediately comes to mind is purchasing luxury items such as luxury goods, cars and yachts, and real estate.
However, if you think about it carefully, such consumption was too trivial for a person with a fortune of over $1 billion.
‘How about acquiring another company? If you pre-purchase a company that will thrive in the future… … No, this is more of an investment to make more money than an act of spending money.’
It was strange. I thought it would be easy to spend money, but when I tried to think about it, why did nothing come to mind?

WHTS Company’s security team recently began a large-scale recruitment.
Previously, four people, including team leader Nella, were doing all the work, but now, a large-scale team of 30 ordinary employees has been formed.
The reason for drastically increasing the number of people in the security team was to monitor social mining.
It was good that the number of Watts subscribers exploded due to social mining and the amount of acorn coins mined increased, but at the same time, the number of people who wanted to profit through dishonest methods increased.
“Chief, since 3 days ago, the number of subscribers in India has been increasing exponentially with a similar pattern. If you look at this report… … .”
A new employee who joined the company not long ago is diligently reporting the situation. However, Nella, the team leader, does not take her eyes off the monitor.
“manager?”
Nella tilts her head slightly. Her eyes were still on the monitor.
“How many came out?”
“Today alone, there are 210,000, and if you add up similar patterns that have occurred the day before yesterday, the number reaches 550,000.”
“This guest is greedy.”
Only then does Nella get the report and flip through the pages.
“Are all subscriber cell phone information real?”
“There was no sign that the information had been manipulated.”
“If it wasn’t for manipulation, I would have hacked someone else’s phone and signed up.”
These are hackers who are aiming for acorn coins given to Watts’ new subscribers.
Mainly, after stealing personal information from mobile phone subscribers, they used a method of creating a large number of new subscribers.
“If you sign up for hundreds of thousands of accounts at the same time, you will most likely not be able to manage them. So, suspend the withdrawal and check it slowly.”
“All right.”
New Watts subscribers are restricted from withdrawing coins for 10 days after signing up.
If there is nothing special during this period, it is possible to withdraw the acorn coin and cash it out, but if fraudulent activity is suspected, the withdrawal is delayed from 1 month to 6 months to defend.
“They are really tenacious people. Even if I keep getting stuck, I won’t give up.”
Nella mumbles to herself and turns her gaze back to the large monitor.
The news was broadcast on the monitor.
-Here, at Jeju Airport, the news that Softpow’s chairman Shin Jeong-eui and WHTS Company’s CEO Daniel Shin met in strict secrecy… … oh! Breaking news just came in. It is said that the car with the two people is on its way back to the airport.
A sedan coming in slowly stops in front of the airport. Reporters were already forming a long line at the entrance.
After a while, the back seat door opens and CEO Shin Woo-hyuk steps down first.
“CEO! For what reason did you meet Chairman Jeong-eui Shin?”
“Are the rumors spreading around the world true?”
“Please tell me if additional investment is made in Acorn Coin!”
Reporters who are blinded by the scoop rush in with microphones. Flashes are pouring in from all sides along with questions, so there is no sh*t like this.
Shin Woo-hyuk, who got out of the car, picked up a nearby microphone without a hint of embarrassment.
That was all. There was no wrestling or screaming. I just grabbed the microphone and made one gesture to step back, and the reporters, who had flocked like angry cows, stepped back, keeping order like docile sheep.
“ah… … .”
Nella, who was watching the scene on the monitor, reflexively exclaimed.
Just then, a voice is heard from the side.
“Uh, that’s why women go crazy.”
Nella looks around in surprise. Before I knew it, Jesse from the next department came and was staring at the monitor.
“proposal? when did you come No, more than that, where did you learn those words?”
“I learned from the movie. Do you feel it?”
“You shouldn’t use those words.”
“But it was a perfect expression for Nella’s expression right now.”
Nella turned her gaze back to the monitor.
During that brief conversation, the microphone in Shin Woo-hyuk’s hand was passed over to Chairman Shin Jeong-eui.
-Our Softpow plans to create a $100 billion fund that will nurture the future industry.
At the same time as the announcement, a confused buzz is heard from the scene.
100 billion dollars is equivalent to 110 trillion won. It was natural to be surprised that the super-large fund was announced in such a surprise manner.
-I would like to unveil the first investment destination of the 100 billion dollar fund, which will be responsible for the future of mankind.
Shin Jung-eui, the chairman, looks at Shin Woo-hyeok standing next to him and continues his conversation.
-This is Acorn Coin, a new concept currency of WHTS Company.
The mouths of the two women who were watching the presentation on the screen gape.
It doesn’t mean investing all 100 billion dollars, but it is because it has a different meaning to be the first investment destination by launching a super-large fund.
“Nella. Has our company really debuted on the international stage?”
“maybe… … Could it be?”
“Woohyuk is really great. It surprises me every time.”
When Nella doesn’t say anything, Jessie sits down next to her and playfully hugs her around the waist.
“Don’t you think so?”
“I think I’m great too. But he came to this place by using various expedients.”
“A shortcut?”
Jesse furrows one eyebrow and raises a finger.
“Isn’t that expedient referring to managing public opinion on the Internet?”
“It’s an expedient. That is absolutely manipulation of public opinion.”
“Isn’t it okay for the media to write articles that suit the tastes of large companies, or delete articles that are unfavorable to large companies?”
“I never said that the way big companies are right. only… … .”
As Nella flicks her tail, Jessie jumps in right away.
“The opponent is using guns and cannons. But you are accusing him of taking up a slingshot, which he made erratically.”
“That’s not what I meant. At least we are going to fight while obeying the law.”
“Who made that law? And is it true that the law applies equally to everyone?”
The moment I heard that, I remembered a story Shin Woo-hyuk told me in the past.
-Korea is a country that tolerates embezzlement and breach of trust. Even after being convicted, only 46% were arrested and the rest were all released on probation.
-How many criminals who embezzled more than 50 billion won were arrested here?
– The correct answer is 0%. All embezzlers of more than 50 billion won were released on probation.
The law is not fair to all. He is generous to the rich and cruel to the poor.
So, should we not follow this law? That’s not going to happen. But on the contrary, it is not the answer to follow unconditionally.
Jessie continues as Nella ponders.
“I think it’s really, really fortunate that Woo-hyuk isn’t a stuffy person. Because of that, I can achieve what I want.”
“you… … .”
Jessie pulls a chair closer to Nella. Then he stood close and stared into her eyes.
“Maybe he can do what you want.”

Late at night, closer to dawn.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s normal to be late for work every time, but after meeting Chairman Shin Jeong-eui, it became more work.
I’m so busy with my internal work that I’m going crazy, but I have to do an external interview, and today the government invited me to the 4th Industrial Revolution event, so I’m on my way back there too.
“I’m tired… … .”
As I trudged out of the company, a sound of pain came out of my mouth. Plus, I’m hungry.
Come to think of it, I didn’t even eat dinner properly because I was wandering around.
Just as I was about to enter the convenience store with the intention of buying something simple, my phone just rings.
[How long will you wait?]
The sender was Jesse. When I see the message, I wake up. I was supposed to have a drink with the security team in the evening, but I forgot because I was busy with work.
‘It’s not necessary to go, but since it’s silently late, it’s better to go. It also fills the stomach.’
I took a taxi and headed to the meeting place in a month.
The place for the dinner was a fusion bar style pub. The tables are hidden by partitions, so it’s a good structure to have a drink quietly.
[where are you?]
[Room 8]
I went to room 8, which was marked on the text, and Jesse was sitting alone at the table.
“Our captain, why are you so late?”
“What about the others?”
“doesn’t exist. sit here quickly quickly.”
Judging from the fact that his tongue was completely twisted, he must have drunk quite a bit.
I don’t sit next to her as she beckoned, but I sit across from her and offer her a drink.
“Looks like I was too late.”
“It was late. It’s okay though. He’s our captain.”
I sip my drink and look at the table. Strangely, there was no sign that a person had sat in the other seats.
“Are you here to drink alone?”
“that’s right. swimming… … .”
Jesse smirks and moves his seat next to me.
It smells like strong perfume. Come to think of it, her clothes are open enough to show her breastbone.
“To make such a beauty wait. It was really bad.”
She clings to his side and pours a drink into an empty glass. At the same time, he secretly pressed his chest against my arm.
Usually she approached without hesitation, but today she is more explicit than that.
I just get a drink and push her slightly aside.
“My uncle told me that a man should always look out for three things.”
“what is that?”
“First is a woman.”
Jesse pouted and said.
“What about the second?”
“A woman with big breasts. My uncle even warned me to be extra careful.”
“why?”
“My aunt had big breasts.”
This time ‘Poop!’ make noise and laugh
“What is it.”
Jesse was giggling, but I still stared at her with a serious expression.
“Jesse, what do you want from me?”
“You want it? I don’t have anything like that. Really.”
“okay? Then it happens.”
As I try to get up, Jessie hurriedly stops me.
“wait for a sec. Where are you going just like this?”
“The third thing I didn’t tell you about is a woman who approaches you for no reason.”
“… … .”
I turned to Jesse, sat down, held her hand, and spoke in the softest voice possible.
“Jesse, this is not like you. If you want something from me, ask honestly. You deserve it.”
her eyes are moist I wanted to burst out crying, but I held it back and opened my mouth.
“A new payment service using virtual currency… … Didn’t you say it would start soon?”
“that’s right. We will start with the Korean and Japanese markets.”
“that… … Can’t you do the same in my hometown? I know it’s an unreasonable request, but I’m really in a hurry. please.”
“hometown? Where is it?”
She steals her eyes and opens her mouth with a short sigh.
“It’s Venezuela.”
