Chapter 46

Money left in life. Most ordinary people dream of getting big returns if they invest. ‘Will I eat twice as much?’ If you invest 100 million, you get 200 million. If you invest 200 million, you will become 400 million. After investing like that, it is said that most of them get negative returns. The March water exercise put option was purchased for $200 million at 2,840. Lion’s heart. Remembering the feeling of buying and selling coins, I made a big bet. ‘Stocks can go up if you wait, but options are over if you lose them during the period.’ Rather than making money investing 200 million dollars, I imagined a lot when I lost it. It was enough money to buy a private jet, money to buy a yacht, or a luxury apartment in New York. I endured the fear of losing a lot of money in vain. “Myungwoo. Let’s play a game.” Okay. turn!” I spent my time playing games with Oh Myung-woo, meeting Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and hiring employees. “CEO. I can’t help but ask about the investments you’ve made so far.” “Yes.” Interview in front of the camera. The filming team in Korea always follows me, and when I am alone, I have a short conversation with Seong Ho-jin producer. I was just drinking coffee when Seong Ho-jin PD started talking to me. “You made a lot of money from coins, and you also made money from investing in stocks and startups. When were you happiest?” “I am happy whenever I earn money. Even if I have a lot of money, I feel happy every time.” “Okay. However, if you start investing in options like the CEO, you will most likely lose.” “All investments are risky. I invested because there was a possibility that coronavirus would spread to the United States, but I don’t think it’s bad to lose. An infectious disease shouldn't sweep the world.” I wondered how the $200 million conclusion would come out. Who can see the full picture of capital markets in motion? Moreover, numerous events taking place around the world have a complex effect. “God. I think we need to recruit more staff. We also need a management team, a public relations team, and office workers. I take turns cleaning the office right now.” “I have to pull it out. We have an empty office upstairs, let’s rent it out.” “Okay.” In the morning, I worked at the company with Vice President Myung-Woo Oh. The progress of the Source Coin project was too fast. As the company’s members were overcrowded with programmers, it was necessary to select employees to handle day-to-day tasks. ‘In large companies, even 10% of R&D personnel would be a lot.’ Earth Resources’ research and development manpower is currently about 95%. While working on the Source Coin project, numerous opportunities were emerging. The source coin acts as a root, and tree trunks and branches spread out in all directions. “I want to join Earth Resources.” Programmers are involved in coin development. Or, based on those who came as rumors spread, interviews were held, and employees were selected. Since it was in the early days of the business, a career was not very important. “I graduated from California State University with a business administration degree.” Young male and female college students. Group interviews were conducted with 10 people who showed passion, and selected from among them. It reminded me of the days when I was interviewing for a job in Seoul. “Logan.” “Yes, sir.” “I think you may have heard about Source Coin. What do you like most about our company?” “that… … .” There was pleasure in anticipating the answers of those who came to the interview. “I thought the future of the company was great.” “The future?” “Yes. In a company that is just starting, I want to build the future together!” Their academic background was much better than mine. Some interviewers had interned at the White House or the United Nations. ‘Is it right for me to select these people?’ Most of them must be much better than I in terms of work ability. Anyway, those who came to the interview were paid $200. “Then I will contact you by phone by tomorrow.” “Yes, but can’t you pay the interview fee in source coin?” “… … .” Why are the programmers who participated in the development asking for Source Coin, which has not yet been officially released? I had interviews all morning, chatted, and had lunch with the staff. And in the afternoon, I read an article for a while on my cell phone. 〈Goldman Sachs “Corona 19, US companies have zero profits this year”＞ 〈The New York Stock Market Screams. Dollar, Treasury yields, and oil prices plummeted＞ 〈Dow Index Last-minute Crash, Is Corona Economic Panic Coming?〉 〈Three major bad news, experiencing the historic crash of the US stock market〉 〈Tech stocks, energy stocks collapse, fear index soars〉 〈[BREAKING NEWS] The Dow recorded the biggest drop ever＞ The US stock market was crashing. The coronavirus, which started in China, spread to South Korea and Italy, giving a huge shock to the United States. The news that the Dow and Nasdaq fell in real time poured out. Seong Ho-jin PD said as if he was surprised. “I think the CEO’s prediction that the New York stock market would fall was correct?” “Ah. Yes. Okay.” Am embarrassed. He forgot he was in front of the camera and put on a serious expression. I opened the stock app. [Return 487%] How should I understand this? Investing $200 million in put options, I thought I would make some profit if the prediction was correct, but lose it if not. It made $974 million from $200 million in just a few days. I was embarrassed and tried to hide my absurd feelings. Seong Ho-jin PD asked. “You said you invested in put options. What is your rate of return now?” It may not be disclosed, but I wondered if it would mean anything anyway. I was already rich in trillions, and I just made a little more money at once. “The yield is 487%.” “What?” “I think I made about 1.2 trillion won.” He hid his surprise and said calmly. Watching the bewildered expressions of producers, writers, and cameramen. “Wow. I am speechless.” Seong Ho-jin, producer, went back to the hotel room and watched the filming with the writer and cameraman on his laptop. Shin Kim, the CEO of their company. He said he boldly invested $200 million in the crash of the New York stock market. And… … Like a lie, the New York stock market crashed. American broadcasters on television reported news about the stock market crash every time they turned on their channels. “Because a PD friend once filmed about Coin.” Seong Ho-jin started talking as if complaining to the writer and cameraman. During the filming, the coin owned by the performer increased by over 1 billion? Looking at that, they said that Hyun-ta came to the hard work of overtime and hard work. Seeing them earn more than 1 trillion won makes no sense.” “Me too.” Looking back at the video, Kim Shin and I had that conversation and took some more pictures. I walk around the company, talk to the employees, and play games in the PC room in the break room. I blankly filmed the scenes where I earned more than 1 trillion and lived such an ordinary life. “It is very shocking. Are you used to accepting it? It is very cool.” “Nice. Is this the class of the super rich?” I had a conversation with them, and I didn’t know because I was with them in the group chat room, but I felt how rich Kim Shin was. “What we film will not be broadcast on terrestrial television.” “I know, right?” How can terrestrial broadcasters broadcast the image of earning 1 trillion won in just one day? Before the Korea Communications Commission imposes sanctions, many people in the country will collapse from stomachaches. “It must be difficult on cable as well.” “Yes. I guess… … .” I thought I would have to use Netflix or OTT. And if you use that distribution channel, it’s better to make a formal documentary. I could use the video I took today as long as I didn’t sign a contract with OTT and receive production costs. “Before it’s too late, let’s take a video clip and upload it to YouTube before the manipulation story comes out.” “Clips earned over 1 trillion won?” “Of course, I should use it. We also need to create a channel for our production company. If the representative goes out for the first time, it will quickly gain popularity.” Seong Ho-jin took out his cell phone. “Let’s take a proper picture from now on.” ―Seong Ho-jin PD: Seok-ah. What is the shooting team doing? ―Goseok: There are no programs in production, so we are waiting. ―Seong Ho-jin PD: All the writers, sound, and lighting teams are assembled and have come to the United States. It’s hard to take pictures of the representative. hehe ―Goseok: How many episodes are there? ―Seong Ho-jin PD: Even with a little composition, there will be 3 episodes? Especially since I am doing the coin business, and this is quite interesting. I wonder what the reaction will be when it is officially launched next week. ―Seong Ho-jin PD: Ask Jeong-ryeol to cover Bio Life. -Koseok: Bio life? ―Seong Ho-jin PD: A pharmaceutical company in Gwangmyeong. It is said that the representative invested in it, but they say they are researching a coronavirus vaccine. I didn’t close the put option after making a 487% return. I was less concerned about whether it would rise or fall more than when I was coining. ‘Maybe my guts got better.’ Instead, I entered the sales team’s group chat room in the middle of the night. Even after leaving the company, I didn’t want to go out for some reason, so I stayed there. A place where many articles are uploaded every day. Ahn, Jong-yeop Lee, Soo-ah Jo, and I. In the group chat room where the four of them were, conversations had been cut off for a year, but everyone remained the same. ―Kim Shin: Team leader. What are you doing these days? ―Head of Ahn Myeong-guk: Just stay. Posted in less than two minutes. I didn’t get close to many people during my company life, but I seemed to have luck with people. Being able to chat with the people you like anytime is enough. ―Kim Shin: How is the company? Busy? ―Ahn Myeong-guk, team leader: I have never had any free time since I got a job at this company. Because of the coronavirus, many hospitals are closed, so the schedule is wide. ―Mr. Postponing vision correction surgeries. -Kim Shin: I see. The damage or impact of the coronavirus was felt in the pharmaceutical industry as well. The initial stage of quarantine has already passed, and the focus has been on tracking and treatment. ―Ahn Myeong-guk: The hospital where the surgery is performed also doesn’t like visiting salespeople. Thanks to you, all the staff are free. As the coronavirus spread, ophthalmology hospitals took a break. It couldn’t be comfortable for the salespeople because the company’s pressure would be as much as the company’s declining performance. -Kim Shin: I see. If I were in Korea, I would have been able to have a drink with the team leader, but it’s a pity. ―Chief Ahn Myeong-guk: I heard that you are in the US. -Kim Shin: Did you? ―Myeong-guk Ahn: Yes. I saw it on the internet news when you were leaving the country. My news is on the news. I don’t know what kind of journalist he is, but he might have taken a picture of him leaving the airport. I think he was dressed very modestly. ―Kim Shin: Actually, I have a concern. ―Myeong-guk Ahn: What is it? ―Kim Shin: Most of the people I meet are related to work or business. I don’t have many comfortable friends. I think I’m just trying to make too much money. Most of the people I met in the US were employees, businessmen, or investors. As I got older and had a lot of money, I regretted how difficult it was to make friends. ―Ahn Myeong-guk: You don’t know life very well. ―Kim Shin: Really? ―Myeong-guk Ahn: Do you have any friends when you get older? Do you have money left? ―Myeong-guk Ahn: Most of my friends fall away when they get married, and when they get older, most of them talk on the phone once or twice a year. ―Ahn Myeong-guk: If you call by chance, it’s about congratulations and condolences. Should I say that Team Leader Ahn is a terrible realist? Still, he tended to take good care of his subordinates. ‘There’s money left… … .’ If anything remains, isn’t it a successful life? The next day, the number of filming personnel was considerably reinforced. About 20 people from Korea. There were only three cameras, and a writer or sound team came along.
