The United States arrived with a security team and secretaries.
At the airport, Lushad’s staff had already received an investment proposal and came to meet him.
“hello. This is Michael Jean.”
Fluent Korean.
“Are you Korean?”
“It’s a Kyopo. I came to meet you because an investor from Korea is coming.”
After all, like those who are trying to cheat by investing, the hospitality is unbelievable.
Not only Korean-speaking staff, but also luxury sedans prepared to match the number of security teams and secretaries.
It’s a different level compared to traveling in a van in China.

Michael said politely.
“CEO James said he was sorry for not being able to meet him in person. They are waiting for you in the lab now.”
According to research conducted in Korea, Lushard was a company that originally specialized in pharmaceutical research.
At first, it developed a good drug and did well, but after that, it was a company that was slowly sinking as it failed to produce comparable results.
So he must have been looking for a way out through the dungeon scam.
That’s how I arrived at Rushard’s lab.
“Hmm.”
It’s quite large though.
okay.
It should be enough to cheat.
As I got out of the car, a middle-aged white man greeted me and said:
“This is James. It is nice to meet you like this.”
“Tell me that I’m happy too.”
James said, guiding me with his hand.
“I will guide you through the lab.”
That’s how the lab tour began.
Inside the lab, people in white were experimenting.
“We, Lushard, took note of the fact that the crystals are inside the monster’s body. A question arose as to whether the power of monsters and hunters was derived from crystals.”

Michael continues to interpret James’ words.
“After grinding and eating, we found that the chance of awakening can be dramatically increased through surgery to implant crystals in the body.”
“Where in the body are you implanted?”
“The surgical method is confidential.”
It’s of no use to me.
But what…
For those who don’t know anything, it’s pretty plausible.
I hid my intentions and spoke with a look of anticipation.
“okay? How much does the chance of awakening increase?”
“It’s still under research, so I’m not sure, but I’m researching with a goal of 0.1 percent.”
The current Hunter awakening rate is approximately 0.0002% of the total population.
If that statement is true, the chance of awakening increases by 500 times if that operation is performed.
Of course that’s nonsense.
“Awesome.”
I nodded and said.
“If this operation succeeds, there will be a revolution. It’s everyone’s dream to become a hunter, rich or poor.”
“You saw it right. Besides, 0.1% is just our intermediate goal. Our ultimate goal is to become a hunter for all mankind. Not only that.”
said Michael, pointing to a research team.
“Over there, we are currently developing new drugs by combining crystallites with existing drugs. We are trying to amplify the performance of drugs by using the fact that crystals amplify energy. Just like activating slime slime. The first person to commercialize it was CEO Jung, so you know it better than anyone.”
Because they’re educated people, they talk really plausibly.
“If this is successful, slime slime will have an incomparable ripple effect.”
“you’re right. The world will be changed by our Lushard.”
James, I can understand why you are so proud of yourself as a fraudster.
However, even Michael, who interprets, is full of confidence.
I don’t know if everyone is cheating or even the staff, but I like the fact that it’s pretty plausible.
The more plausible it is, the bigger the profit I will get.
“Anyway, the experiment is going on right now and we plan to release the results to the press soon. A hunter who just woke up after undergoing crystallization surgery.”
A Hunter who has awakened after undergoing a transplant…
You can either pay a large sum of money to recruit a hunter who has awakened from the beginning and make it look like a transplant, or you can intentionally reduce the number of people who participated in the experiment and manipulate it as if the odds have increased.
There are countless ways to deceive.
“Great. I am really looking forward to the future.”
“thank you.”
Anyway, I think I’ve heard enough nonsense.
“By the way, the dungeon algorithm. Dungeon location specific. Is that even possible?”
Then James paused a little and said,
“CEO James said that it is not accurate because it is still in the early stages of research.”
It’s really different. It’s possible to deceive through manipulation, but the result of dungeon creation is clear and obvious, so it deserves a reaction like that.
“Isn’t it still possible to select a candidate site?”
“Uh … you don’t have to be 100% sure if it’s okay?”
“Yes.”
Until I nominate the land I want, I get 100 and 1,000 candidate sites.
Then you pretend you don’t know.
And if you clap and shout Lushard, it’s amazing, everything will be perfect.
“I really like everything from the vision of the company. If it’s a Korean dungeon candidate, but if you search well, it’s 300 billion won. We will invest 270 million USD.”
In addition to the 200 billion won of my funds, I collected 100 billion won from Yoo Jung-hak’s 30 billion won and hundreds of other high-ranking officials and police officers as a secondary investment.
Of course, the more we collected, the more we could have collected.
Even now, I have been getting calls from all walks of life saying they want to increase the limit or make an investment.
But it’s not like I’m making any money from it, and above all else, if the amount is too big, it’s hard to get out of it later.
“270 million dollars.”
“Of course, this is the first investment. As long as the results are clear, I am willing to invest more.”
James said with a smile at my words.
“He says he will. As soon as the investigation is complete, they say that they will select candidates and send them out.”
“good.”
I said with a smile.
“Then let’s talk about the stake, shall we?”
The original market value of Rushard was approximately 500 billion Korean Won.
However, it is only natural that a premium is attached to the achievements of dungeon-related research.
I thought that the premium was doubled, so I thought that the total value of Lushard was 1 trillion won and 30% could be eaten with 300 billion won.
However, unlike in Korea, which has just begun to be known, James insisted that it would never be more than 15%, saying that Rushard had already received quite a bit of attention in the United States, saying that various investment proposals were coming in from other places as well.
At 15%, the amount is four times the appraised value.
I pondered a bit here.
It is fundamental to business to take an advantageous position by attaching a competitor.
Because only James himself knows whether the investment proposal James said is true or not.
Who knows if you’re trying to make a deal with me by bringing up an investment proposal that doesn’t exist.
However, judging from the previous conversation, it seemed that they were going to publish even fabricated research results sooner or later, but it was clear that real investors would flock to them.
By that time it will be too late
In the end, I and James finally agreed on 16%.
It’s not a satisfactory result, but it’s not bad because it’s an early entry.
Anyway, after meeting like that, I’m having lunch at a restaurant, and on the news, Lushard’s logo appears and the anchor speaks English.
“… should I study English?”
I haven’t felt the need for it until now, but it’s very inconvenient because I can’t speak the language both when I visited China and now.
In business, ‘ah’ and ‘uh’ are different, but if you go through that through an interpreter and have a conversation, the conversation may go wrong.
You should at least study English.
“Secretary Kim. What are you talking about on the news?”
“It says that it has raised $270 million in investment from Lushard.”
How long have you been in the meeting with me?
“And… the investor is said to be the CEO of Jeongin Development, which is famous for its dungeon business in Korea. He is also said to be a businessman who succeeded in commercializing slime slime for the first time.”
You’re hitting the advertisement very openly.
A masterpiece to make me a great person and to stand out for myself, the one I invested in.
It’s an obvious but effective method.
I said taking a sip of water.
“…will soon be circulating in Korea, right?”
“Perhaps it will.”
People will be interested
I can’t buy stocks because it’s not listed yet, so I’ll just wash my hands.
Then what if it goes public?
I’m going to buy stock like crazy until Lushard’s fraud is exposed.
And among them…
“Investors.”
There will be many people who have invested in Jeongin investment.
All of them were eager to invest more, but is the company I invested in listed?
Then I’m going to run away in such a way that I have to buy it unconditionally.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Better.”
And unlike me, who fell at the right time, they’re going to lose a lot of money because of Lushard.
But they can’t blame me.
why?
Because I have already doubled their investment.
If you do that, after that, you will be quietly investing your money only in the investment of your heart.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
I said looking at Secretary Kim.
“Since we came to the United States, let’s set up a local corporation and do the basic work. I’m going to be busy for a while, so I’ll take a good rest today.”
The investment in Lushard has been successful.
Now I am the major shareholder with 16% of the shares in Lushard.

Meanwhile, data came from Lushard.
“A dungeon candidate.”
It was the list of candidate sites for dungeons in Korea that I requested.
And the list of candidates is all…
“It’s really mine.”
Nothing really fits.
Actually, I did a grand calculation using a formula, but it’s actually a random shot, how could that be easy?
“Secretary Kim. Ask them to select more candidates.”
“All right.”
The list of candidate sites was repeated 20 times like that.
Each time we send, we designate more than 10 locations, so we have received over 200 candidates.
And finally.
“It caught.”
A candidate site that points to the land of an E-class dungeon that will be created soon.
It’s a bit far from the dungeon location, but that’s enough to buy nearby land through the ease of purchase and other excuses.
Now I have enough alibi to move on.
Of course, in order to cover people’s eyes, we select about nine more and proceed with the purchase.
“ruler. Shall we go see the land?”
Then someone knocked on the office door.
“I am Jaejin Lee.”
“uh. Jaejin. come in.”
Jaejin Lee opened the door and came in.
“I’m here to report on a regular basis.”
The Jungin Guild now has 250 hunters.
Of course, with the exception of the initial 50 members, the remaining 200 were frequently changed through testing, but thanks to this, the power of the Jeongin Guild was getting stronger.
“About 10 out of 70 new recruits this time have a chance.”
“okay? Not bad.”
Of course, just because you see a possibility doesn’t mean everything will turn out well.
Conversely, there are cases where I thought there was no possibility, but it would explode.
Still, the former is more likely, so we have to keep pushing.
By the way, do you want Jaejin to go to the land with him when he comes?
“Jaejin.”
“Yes. president.”
Jaejin Lee still calls me the boss.
“Are you free today?”
“Yes. Today’s schedule is over.”
I said with a smile.
“Then let’s go see the land with me.”
A small village in Gangneung, where we arrived.
As it is Gangwon-do, it is surrounded by mountains and the rice fields are not as wide as in Dangjin, but it is still not bad.
This was the place where the E-class dungeon would be created.
“What do you think?”
“How about here?”
“You know I invested in a company called Lushad, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a company that researches dungeon generation algorithms and stuff like that. It was one of the places recommended as a candidate for dungeon creation. So I’m going to buy some land here.”
I said looking back at Jaejin Lee.
“what do you think about it?”
“········”
Jaejin Lee said after being silent for a while.
“It’s hard to believe.”
“right? I know.”
“Then why did you invest in Lushard?”
“My success so far is not just picking items that will succeed.”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“It’s made to be successful.”
So was the unicorn horn, and so was the monster skin.
They were not items to succeed.
i just made it that way
“It’s the same this time. It doesn’t matter how much potential Rushard’s research holds. It matters how many people believe it. Anyway, since I got a nomination paper, I’m just going to buy one. Just because the dungeon doesn’t exist doesn’t mean the land will disappear. You can just resell it.”
I said looking at the gardens.
“I will look for more good land among other candidate sites and purchase it together with this site. So, Jaejin-ah.”
I said with a smile.
“Would you like to buy some land? He wouldn’t have made a lot of money.”
Even if it’s someone else, it’s enough to make some concessions to Jaejin Lee.
“Of course, there is no guarantee. As I said earlier, this is something I’m just buying on a whim. do you know Is their research real?”
Jaejin Lee looked at me and said.
“good. If the boss buys it, you have to buy it.”
“I am not forced to buy it. I buy it too, so you should think about it too.”
“I like to just do what the boss tells me to do. I’ve never had a loss by doing that. I will buy it.”
that’s a good attitude
And I faithfully repay Lee Jae-jin like that.
So that next time, you can follow me without any doubt.
“great. I’m going to buy about ten places including here. You too, buy a little by the side.”
If a dungeon is created sooner or later, Lushard, who has specified this candidate site, will receive attention at once, and its value will skyrocket.
With the value of my stake.
If I choose and purchase the land myself, and a dungeon is created there, I will get attention, but now I am hiding behind Russard.
A lie is not a lie only if it is mixed with lies.
Sometimes it’s enough to just hide the truth.
If you do not disclose the fact that there are 200 candidates, Lushard’s dungeon algorithm is packed like the real thing.
Even if I don’t have to do it, they’ll still do it, so all I have to do is lay down and eat rice cakes and find the right time to get out.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“ruler. Let’s see how it goes.”
