Chapter 49

Reasons for success. Although several businesses were underway, BioLife, which researches vaccines and treatments, could not directly produce results. I fully trusted Dr. Lee Ho-yeon and the researchers. Fortunately, thanks to ample funds, research was expanded, and a team led by Professor Paul Lesser from Johns Hopkins University joined. ―Kim Shin: If Source Coin is released as planned, we will provide unlimited computing support. -Lee Ho-yeon: Thank you. ―Kim Shin: Do it while taking a break. ―Lee Ho-yeon: Thank you for your concern. He texted Dr. Lee Ho-yeon once every 2 or 3 days. As coronavirus spreads around the world, you can imagine how much pressure he will be under. As a person who has lived to cure infectious diseases, his fighting spirit and passion for vaccines and treatments must be enormous. ‘I just have to watch… … .’ Since Korean production companies are new, they have built up a foundation based on investment, production preparation, and YouTube. I heard that a video of me filming myself in the US went up to episode 3 and became popular. It is said that the number of subscribers to the channel has exceeded 3 million. On the day the short video that earned 10.5 billion dollars was registered, it was said that 1.8 million people increased in one day. The number of comments attached to the video exceeded 100,000, so I didn’t even dare to read them. “What is your favorite hobby?” While filming, Seong Ho-jin PD asked various questions. He was much more motivated than when he had just arrived in the US, and he talked to me, but I became a little conscious because there were 3 cameras taking pictures. ‘Would it be embarrassing if I answered that it was a game?’ Since I was poor, gaming has been a hobby that costs less money. Even now, playing games with Oh Myung-woo as a duo at work and in the apartment is the most fun. I thought about it for a while, but even thinking about it, luxurious hobbies didn’t suddenly appear. “It’s a game.” “A game?” “Yes. I mainly play PC games. You don’t notice the time passing, and when you win, it’s fun.” Plain answers to plain questions. Even while answering, I thought I would just edit things like this. “Up, all up!” Seong Ho-jin, producer, uploaded a video of everyday conversation as it is. Because the impact on investment returns is so strong, I have to upload a lot of small stories that can satisfy my curiosity. The result…. 〈Why Billionaires Play Computer Games〉 〈The busy super-rich Kim Shin’s hobby is games〉 〈Kim Shin, sharpen his winning sense with games〉 〈Games are positive for intelligence development〉 Articles related to me and the game were out by diligent reporters. Looking at the articles that are published in this way, it seems that the public is not criticizing the reporters for nothing. On the contrary, if you show weakness, you will be a reporter who will bite you without hesitation. Seong Ho-jin, producer, occasionally asked sharp questions during filming. “There are a lot of people in the audience who are concerned about Sourcecoin. Most coins don’t go as planned, leading to suspicions of fraud. What would you do if Earth Resource couldn’t convert your source coins into dollars?” I’ve been waiting for this question. It was easier to tell stories with model answers rather than personal life. “I don’t believe in the word trust in business. I think it’s a good word for scammers to say. Source coin issuance is limited to the capital of the company through strict regulations.” “You mean the company only issues as many Source Coins as it can afford?” “Yes. Coins will be issued at a level that can be repaid at any time. And since it is a company with 100% ownership, if someone is harmed, I will not shirk responsibility.” I have no intention of cheating, so I have no choice but to be confident while answering. The two days before the official launch of Source Coin were calm like the eve of a storm. I purposely went to the beach in San Francisco and drank canned beer. Relaxation and comfort while drinking a cold beer. It would have been very unfortunate if I lived only by work without this taste. “CEO.” “Yes?” Writer Kim Soo-jin called me. “The videos so far are mostly interviews and company life.” “It is.” The corporate life of the super-rich. The reaction of the viewers was good, just by talking with the staff. Is it cool to work in a suit? To be honest, I wore a suit even when I was an Arcor salesperson, but I don’t think the reaction was like this. It must be because of the confidence he gained after becoming super-rich and the zero added to the price of his suit. “I wish there were more things to see. It also shows the human side of the representative. Do you see the woman sitting alone over there?” A beauty with long, dark brown hair was sitting alone at the place the writer pointed out. The clear eyes, nose, and mouth features, and model-like body stood out by far. “How about talking to that woman?” “Yes? Do you want to talk?” “I think drinking beer together would be better for the video than drinking alone. And at his prime age, he lives with Oh Myung-woo and doesn’t date women. Some are even rumored to be gay.” Hunting takes place daily at tourist spots or beaches while traveling. More than anything else, it was terrible that viewers misunderstood his relationship with Oh Myung-woo. ‘It’s okay to talk lightly, as if asking for directions.’ Without thinking, he approached the beauty and said. “Hello.” Enchanting black eyes looked up at me. Seeing it up close in real life, it’s a beauty that takes your breath away. There were quite a few beauties in America, but there were times when the beauties I saw were unrealistically beautiful, as if they had come through a screen. “Would you like a beer with me?” I thought it would be a car anyway, so I said it without thinking about it. She smiled. “like.” It was unexpected. A muttering could be heard among the filming staff. “Is this going to happen?” The dark-haired beauty’s name was Isabel. Age is… I am 23 years old. I asked if I could take a picture of her, and she readily agreed. “Are you a college student?” “No. I’m here for work.” Occupation model. He came to San Francisco to shoot for a Spanish fashion magazine and is said to be resting after work. “But why did you agree to sit next to me?” “He seems like an interesting person.” While working as a model, he looked for clothes, and he said that he drew attention from the beginning with a very expensive suit and bodyguards. Besides, the broadcast cameras and staff followed me around. After all, I didn’t just accept it, it seems that the help of money was decisive. “But what are you doing?” “Well.” Is it my turn to introduce myself this time? I wanted to make a fun introduction, but then a corner came to mind. When I was backpacking, I said I was an ordinary Korean. Circumstances are not enough to say such a thing. “I do a lot of investing and business. I haven’t had any results yet as a business.” “That’s right.” After a brief introduction, we drank beer together while looking at the beach. Oh Myung-woo became the vice president of Earth Resources and felt a sense of responsibility. “I tried to live freely, but it’s the first time I’ve stood in front of others since the engineering chief.” Feeling the weight of the crown, I attended a strategy meeting with the PR team. Some employees had moved from other companies in Silicon Valley. “What are you going to do with your PR plan? TV, radio, Internet advertisements, etc.” “The release date is the most important.” “It’s too late even if we start a big marketing campaign from now on. You need to inform your users properly. If more than 10,000 units are mined on the first day, the value of our company will increase significantly.” PR team members talked about the best strategy. The value of startups depends dozens of times on initial sales. A stagnation on the first day of launch could have clouded the entire business. There was just something they didn’t know. Oh Myung-woo, who attended the meeting, said with a confident face. “Don’t worry, everyone. We will achieve 10,000 units on the first day without any problems, even without publicity.” “It can’t be.” “You shouldn’t take 10,000 units lightly. At the beginning of market entry, even 100 users are important. Do you know how much publicity money Microsoft spends on every new business? However, many projects fail… … .” “Even if you see a loss, you have to boldly advertise. Dominating the market comes first, and then the share will be money.” Oh Myung-woo barely held back a yawn as he listened to the stories of the public relations team members. Even so, I thought it would be the duty of a genius to listen to such a boring story. “Everything you say is correct, but you don’t know two things.” “Do you have two?” “First, I am a programmer. Source Coin is a very efficient and well-made program. So you know, people will come to you… … .” This was a staggering reason for PR staff to hear, but they waited a while to hear the second reason. “The second thing you don’t know is Korea.” “Korea?” “Yes. Don’t look down on Korea in the internet and gaming world!” Kim Shin’s daily broadcast. Those who clicked on episode 1 had the magical power to watch episodes 2 and 3. “Khehehe. I love it.” Na Sang-guk subscribed, liked, and set notifications. I liked every video and wrote a comment on every episode. ―The Source Coin Project is a jackpot!!! -Corona!!! Deputy Kim Shin as expected!!! -Thank you. I will live kindly. After watching episode 1, I followed Kim Shin and bought a put option. It was an all-in bet of cash assets, and the result was a 7-fold net profit. ‘7 times in 5 days. Crazy, it’s crazy.’ It is said that Kim Shin ate 52 times, but in reality, isn’t 7 times a profit? I spent almost 300 million won with 40 million won. ‘What is life? You have to stand in line, line up. I have to do it for a hundred days in my work life, but when do I collect money? From now on, I have to invest in following Kim Shin unconditionally.’ After belatedly checking Kim Shin’s investment, if he had sold the put option a little later, he could have earned a total return of 58 times. It didn’t reap the maximum benefit, but rather, this much could be seen as a human aspect. ―Na Sang-guk: Yields are disclosed. 736% in one week. ―Lee Jung-shin: Are you sure? ―Na Sang-guk: Sure! Did you see me lie ―Na Sang-guk: Although I was shaken by the coin, now I have opened my eyes to investment, I mean! It was fun and happy, as if a rosy future had unfolded. But he wasn’t the only one who made big profits. ―Kim Sang-gi: Huhuhu. I have a 1,297% return this week. ―Na Sang-guk: What? ―Kim Sang-gi: I followed Kim Shin and bet on put options. I was curious about what life in the US was like, so we chatted. ―Kim Sang-gi: As soon as you heard that you bought a put option, didn’t you follow suit? This is improvisation, the quick movement of feet. And when Kim Shin sold it, he sold it. ―Kim Sang-gi: Isn’t investing only by trusting Kim Shin? Ha ha ha ha ha Na Sang-guk was envious of the personal contact with Kim Shin. After Kim Shin hit the jackpot, I texted him a few times, but there was no indication that he had read that he had been blocked. It would have been nice if he had done a little better in his company life. ‘It’s not over until it’s over.’ Opportunities to make money are still wide open. I went to the coin bulletin board and started writing. ―Buy Source Coin. Buy 10,000 at 2,000 won each. Started purchasing Source Coin. The business model Kim Shin started was brilliant. ‘I think it will work.’ I knew it instinctively because I had been making money out of coins for over a year. A coin board that says you can make a lot of money by playing a plausible scam. All kinds of fraudulent techniques were melted into the coins, but what would happen if the real thing appeared among them? ‘Money Duplication season 2 is going to happen.’ As a coiner, I believed that one day that day would surely come. ―Buy Source Coins! I buy all the stock that comes out in the future. 2,000 won each! ―Source Coin/100%/Really Sure Buy ―Reservation and purchase of Source Coin
