Chapter 111

A little braver. Seong Ho-jin and the shooting team in San Francisco did not follow Kim Shin’s vacation. “This time, so that the CEO can rest in peace, we won’t bother chasing after him.” “Yep, PD.” “Then what shall we take? Shall we focus on the Earth channel?” “Part of the filming team filmed Earth Channel, and the rest filmed K-Vaccine. Let’s go to New York and film what America has changed with the coronavirus vaccine.” The filming team went to New York to shoot urban scenes. New York was a familiar city to the extent that it often appeared in Korean entertainment programs. The filming team talked to people walking around the streets and subways. “What do you think of the K-vaccine?” “Corona vaccine? New York has taken a toll in the past few months. People are very sick, and the streets are empty. Fortunately, a vaccine is available.” “Do you know that K-Vaccine was developed in Korea?” “I had no idea.” Most were positive about the K-vaccine. The filming team requested interviews from men in suits. “Do you know about Kim Shin?” “Five! A legendary investor. On Wall Street, Shin Kim’s name is widespread.” “Excuse me, do you work in the financial sector?” “JP Morgan and Shin Kim’s investments caused a great shock to our company. So far, it’s been recording great returns. Looking at this year’s investments, he must have a sense for the flow of money.” “What do you think of the Earth Channel?” “It’s the new OTT from Shin Kim’s company. I thought it would be a blast. But even Wall Street wouldn’t have known it would cause such a storm.” The amount of broadcasting that comes out every time I do an interview. Back at the hotel, Seong Ho-jin PD said. “The reputation is great. There are very few Americans who do not know you.” “I mean. The CEO doesn’t even enjoy interviews with the press.” Producer Seong Ho-jin and the filming team were proud of what they had done so far. Kim Shin’s daily life, which he consistently uploaded on YouTube, has done a great job in the Corona era. It caused an investment boom in Korea and mass-produced Seohak ants, causing enormous national wealth. In the history of Korean finance, there has never been a time when overseas investment has earned more than 70 billion dollars in a year. Financially advanced countries or possible amounts. It contributed to making the country hit the jackpot with overseas investment to the extent that national wealth was said to have increased by several steps. Seong Ho-jin producer, said to his staff. “I will go back to Korea after I finish filming this New York.” “Yes? What are you talking about?” Producer Ahn Won-jae and writer Kim Soo-jin of Team B were surprised. Seong Ho-jin PD has led the American filming team. Even the Earth channel opened, and overseas fans liked Kim Shin’s daily life more. Shin Kim herself is becoming like the American Dream, a brand of success in the era of COVID-19. As soon as Kim Shin’s daily life was uploaded, more than 15 million views were recorded on the Earth channel. “There is a program I want to make.” “Ah. Okay.” Producer Ahn Won-jae understood Seong Ho-jin’s heart. As a PD, if there was a program you wanted to produce, it was only natural that you would lose your mind. “Since PD-nim has been doing something, Vice President Jeong Beom-tae will actively support it.” “I know. If you tell me what item I’m preparing, I’ll pull out the pillar roots of Dream Art Rainbow.” I took a walk on Laguna Beach and felt the warm sunlight all over my body. “Vacation is so good.” I would be bored if I didn’t work, but thinking that Earth Resources in San Francisco is very busy, I enjoyed my vacation. Eat, sleep, exercise. I can’t be comfortable like this because my whole body is relaxed. ―Myungwoo Oh: All hackers and trolls, including Chinese, are closing their accounts. ―Oh Myeong-woo: I get calls to protest as I sternly cut them off, but they are all turning to artificial intelligence. Myungwoo Oh did a really good job. Vacations are more leisurely when you have a vice president you can trust. Even while sitting on the beach texting on a can of beer and texting on his cell phone, his fortune was growing. Due to the rise of the New York stock market, the business of Earth Resources, and the number of subscribers to Earth Channel are exploding even at this moment. ―Kim Shin: You have a lot of trouble. ―Oh Myung-woo: The morale of the employees is high. It’s because the CEO doesn’t dwell on money and says no to things that don’t work. ―Kim Shin: Well, not to that extent. ―Kim Shin: What do you mean by turning it into artificial intelligence? ―Oh Myeong-woo: Artificial intelligence is pretty amazing. Many messenger and phone consultations are being replaced with artificial intelligence. Listening to Oh Myeong-woo’s words, I realized that it is the age of artificial intelligence. The first place I invested in after coming to Silicon Valley was a place to develop self-driving trucks. Biolife is applying it to new drug or vaccine development, and Earth Resource has applied artificial intelligence to many fields, such as translation, customer consultation, and the elimination of malicious users. ‘What will the world be like in the future?’ Just 12 years ago, when I was just entering college, I never imagined that the day would come when there would be a robot vacuum cleaner in my house. Self-driving cars were released, OTT replaced terrestrial broadcasting stations, and the era of smartphones opened. ‘I wouldn’t have thought about how the world would change until last year.’ With the jackpot of Earth Resources, I ran so far without even having time to wake up. As a businessman, I didn’t look far, and I did what I wanted to do. ‘ fortune ovof er $100 billion. What should I do with my life from now on?’ I lived prudently enough to knock on a stone bridge, but I wondered if I needed to be careful while hesitating, even with this wealth. What if every moment had been a little bolder? If you had invested more in Bio Life. If the initial capital of Earth Resources was about 5 times more. I lacked experience as a businessman. I was afraid of the consequences that could go wrong.’ Whether it’s because I was poor when I was young, I worry about bad results first, and I try to build a business that doesn’t fail. Although they have achieved great success, they have always been cautious investments compared to their wealth. If it wasn’t for Corona, I wouldn’t have been able to invest in the New York stock market. ‘I think it would be fun to boldly put ideas into practice.’ Elon Musk comes to mind. He is an eccentric who wants to put the human migration plan to Mars into action. Although such a dream and desire to achieve must be born. ‘Don’t worry about going bankrupt anymore, can’t we live doing what we want to do?’ I thought about that while looking at the sea, and I laughed out loud. With a fortune of over $100 billion, I’m relieved that the money won’t run out until I die. It was something that other world-rich people would never do. On the sixth day of vacation, I made a few decisions. ―Kim Shin: Let’s move Earth Channel’s film and broadcast business to Los Angeles. ―Myungwoo Oh: Oh, that would be nice Paramount Pictures was based in Los Angeles. It was better to move here than to San Francisco to produce or import Hollywood movies or American dramas. ―Kim Shin: I will personally find a building in Los Angeles that can be used as an office building. -Myungwoo Oh: Oh. Okay. I even thought about buying the whole large building in the city center. ―Kim Shin: Game companies continue to invest in equity. You can spend more than 5 billion dollars. ―Myungwoo Oh: Really? ―Kim Shin: The value of the Earth channel lies in the continuous use of content. Top Gun or popular Korean dramas. After watching interesting content, the popularity of the eEarthchannel can cool down. I thought that only investing in steady productions would be the secret to being loved. ―Kim Shin: You know, some people use Earth Channel’s content for less than 3 hours a month. ―Kim Shin: Give those people the next month’s bill for free. ―Oh Myeong-woo: What? ―Kim Shin: Whether you didn’t watch it because you didn’t have anything to watch, or you forgot the Earth channel because you were busy. You just paid for it without using it properly. ―Oh Myung-woo: That’s right. ―Kim Shin: You can’t get money from people who don’t use the service. The subscription economy was in vogue. However, many people only paid money without forgetting to apply for a subscription and pay the fee. Or if there is nothing to see, but it is regrettable to cancel it, so it is left. With an Earth channel of over 200 million people, you have to account for a significant loss in revenue, but I didn’t want to get paid without providing the service. -Oh Myung-woo: It’s a really surprising decision. ―Myungwoo Oh: This is my friend! Proud. Respect. Really. While talking about business with Oh Myeong-woo and taking a walk in Laguna Beach, I suddenly thought of Jo Soo-ah. While on vacation, there were times when I missed her. This is what I think of whenever I see American families bringing their children to the beach to play. ‘What if I had dated Jo Soo-ah instead of Han Chae-won when I was at Arkor?’ They would have been living together without getting divorced. While enjoying trivial things together in one house. ‘I wonder if they rejoiced together when they hit a huge jackpot with coins, and came to America together while doing business?’ It seems that a lot has changed since then. Wouldn’t it have been a strong support that would not collapse even if the business did not achieve great success? The relationship was mixed, and we lived apart from each other in Korea and the United States. Since there is no process of gradually building up your mind, it was burdensome to keep in touch with Jo Soo-ah often because of the concern that you will marry again if your relationship deepens. -Kim Shin: What are you doing? Perhaps it was because of a can of beer he drank, but he sent a text message and threw it away. “What kind of food does Sua like?” A high-end restaurant in Busan. Jo Soo-ah was on a blind date with her parents’ active recommendation. Choi Won-seok, director of Haeundae Dermatology. Tall and handsome, his a family that owned several commercial buildings. “I can eat anything.” “Anything? After all, don’t you just like pasta?” Jo Soo-ah thought for a moment before answering. “I like beef over rice, pork cutlet, squid over rice, bulgogi white rice, and kimchi stew.” “Yes?” It was around the time when Choi Won-seok was startled by his unfeminine diet. KakaoTalk! A text message came to Jo Soo-ah’s cell phone. “Wait.” She immediately looked at her phone and confirmed that it was from Kim Shin. The sadness of not being in touch several times over the past month was short-lived. ‘Because he’s a busy person.’ A person who is infinitely busy and doing important work. She smiled brightly and sent a text message. ―Jo Soo-ah: I’m on a blind date. ―Kim Shin: ??? I surprised you for a while by telling you about a blind date. ―Jo Soo-ah: My parents said that I should at least meet a man before I get older. ―Jo Soo-ah: I think all the love cells will die. ―Jo Soo-ah: They said no, but they told me to come down to Busan on the weekend, and they forced me to sit down. So I’m just going to eat and go. I hurriedly sent a text message so that Kim Shin wouldn’t misunderstand. ―Joshua: What is your brother doing now? ―Kim Shin: The beach near Los Angeles. I’m on vacation. KakaoTalk! The beautiful scenery of the sea arrived as a picture. ―Jo Soo-ah: It is the sea. It’s very pretty. It’s nice to take a break after working every day. ―Kim Shin: I also liked the beach in Busan. Even when he was far away, Kim Shin’s image came to mind. How good is it to have a break after going to the beach and resting after working at a company? While sending a text message to Kim Shin, Jo Soo-ah looked up and saw a man on a blind date with her. “I’m sorry.” “No. It seems like an important contact.” “Yes. The truth is, there is someone I like.” “Yes? Are you dating a guy?” Choi Won-seok seemed a little surprised. Jo Soo-ah decided to speak frankly without hiding anything. “Not really, but I like it.” “Does Jo Soo-ah have a crush?” “Yes. Because I like it. But I am a very lonely person. I’m always waiting by his side so he won’t be lonely.”
