Chapter 60

Spread in the US. Time passed differently than when I was working in a company. A week with weekdays and weekends. The time that used to be repeated like a squirrel on a treadmill was busy doing business and unfolded all the way. 〈Earth Resource, evaluated as a unicorn company that succeeded in the shortest period in Silicon Valley〉 San Francisco Chronicle. Looking at the newspaper article, it seems that Earth Resources has achieved a market value of 1 billion. I had no intention of selling it anywhere. ―Chris: God, I read the article, congratulations. I never thought you would succeed as a businessman before me. -Kim Shin: Thank you. Aurora is a great company! It just takes time to succeed. ―Chris: Haha. Sure. Congratulatory phone calls and text messages from entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. ―Jin Yoo-kyung: Do you like life in the US? He is also successful as a businessman and is popular on YouTube. ―Jin Yu-gyeong: The alcohol was really sweet. I should have caught it then. -Kim Shin: Yes? Mirae Group’s Geum Ok-yeop. Nevertheless, I chatted with Jin Yoo-kyung, who felt a bit bloody. However, as a reason for refusing to cooperate with coin factions, magazine and newspaper articles appeared in succession. 〈Source Coin, the tyranny of one dollar〉 Philadelphia Journal. 〈Unreasonable expansion of earth resources, billionaire CEO’s hobby?〉 Business wave. 〈Is Source Coin worth more than $1?〉 Computer Today. 〈Advancing to the enterprise cloud market. What are you aiming for? American Times. American newspapers and magazines were harshly criticizing it. I asked an employee who studied journalism at university. “Nora. Do you know about Business Wave, Computer Today?” “I hear it for the first time. It must be an internet newspaper.” “An internet newspaper?” Writing articles for money was a common practice in Korea, but there was something like this in the United States. Joseph Pulitzer. The person who created the Pulitzer Prize was the one who sold yellow journalism hard. Celebrities on social media also posted posts one after another. ―Source Coin will not be able to enter the coin ecosystem. ―Source Coin is an imitation. The culprit that slows down your computer. ―About legitimate mining and computer use rights. The attack of the influencers that Jim was so proud of. “Jong-yeop, it looks like coin forces are sniping at our company.” “Just because they don’t cooperate?” “Yes. We had nothing to gain by joining hands with them.” Earth Resources was intended to grow properly. As a characteristic of Internet business, it transcends borders and physical limitations. The era when the market capitalization of Facebook, which started as an SNS for Harvard University students, reached hundreds of billions of dollars in 15 years. There are many people who have made a lot of money with coins. I did too.’ I experienced how thrilling it is to get rich in coins. So, I felt a lot while watching the coin market collapse in 2018. If it is not properly supported, it can bring misfortune to many investors. “Jong-yeop, I’m going to do real business. It’s not about eating and bouncing.” “Yes. It should be.” However, there was no significant damage from the attack of the coin forces. I was worried that the number of people waiting for mining would decrease even a little the next day. I went to work in the morning and made Eddie a mixed coffee, and asked. “What about the number of people waiting for mining rights now?” “890,000.” “It has shrunk a lot.” “Not because of that, but because of the update.” Update?” Updates to stop wasting power. Numbers are issued to prevent computers from waiting for mining. Introduced a function that can be checked at regular intervals. “Grid voted first. But 98% agree.” “Okay?” “Well, there are many computers that want to receive more source coins. You don’t have to turn it on if you don’t want to put a grid on it.” President of the European Central Bank, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, and President of the Federal Reserve. Coin powers could not move the people in charge of the real economy. ‘Is this their limit?’ The coin bulletin board also confirmed the friendly public sentiment. ―Are there bad reviews about Source Coin in the US coin community? ―What do they know hahahaha -The world’s worst bastards. To raise only the coins they invested in. ―Have you bought it in advance and pumped it once or twice? It’s because they can’t buy Source Coin. Looking at the bulletin board, I thought. ‘Surprisingly, there is no damage.’ It did not interfere with the actual business. Even if some of the public opinion in the US coin market has moved a little, popularity in Korea cannot be stopped. ‘I just have to show it in future performances.’ Earth Resources’ business has only been around for a month. When cloud and shopping malls are properly launched, you don’t have to worry about them. In the first place, most of what coin forces can do is to induce public opinion. “Jason, I will increase the number of bodyguards. Also, please increase the security of this building.” “Yes. All right.” A world where murder occurs even for hundreds of thousands of won. It was a time when personal security was being strengthened just in case. ―Paul: We applied for a pre-clinical trial for a COVID-19 vaccine in Korea. ―Kim Shin: It’s finally starting. ―Paul: But the Korean government says they don’t know when the review will end. -Kim Shin: Yes? Contact in Korea. Professor Paul Lesser of Johns Hopkins University was staying at BioLife to help with the research. ―Paul: I don’t believe in the fact that I analyzed the protein structure, and it’s a company that has no history of vaccine production. ―Paul: They say that you have to verify from the very basics. Biolife was a new company with no experience in vaccine development. A research company with no sales or sales results. From the standpoint of the Korean government, it would be absurd to say that it suddenly developed a coronavirus vaccine. ‘Such a reaction would be normal.’ Vaccines that can directly affect the human body. It is said that a company with no development experience suddenly made it, but I can’t believe it. Even if I had been a civil servant, I could have told you not to joke enough. -Kim Shin: That’s right. ―Paul: We separately applied for permission in the US. The preclinical itself will begin quickly. -Kim Shin: Yes. Okay. Although I am a bit famous in Korea, it was regrettable that I could not exert influence on the government. And another change happened. 〈The largest outbreak of COVID-19 in New York〉 〈School closures across the U.S. due to the spread of COVID-19〉 〈New York Governor “Deployment of the National Guard to New York City” Preview＞ 〈Rapid spread of COVID-19 in the U.S.〉 The coronavirus has spread widely in the United States. “Okay, let’s go to work first. Everyone did a good job.” Team leader Ahn Myeong-guk finished his work at Arcor and walked to the subway. After going to the station and changing to the intercity bus, I have to go to my house in Gyeonggi-do. House prices in Gangnam are too expensive, so it’s been a long time since I gave up on renting a house. ‘It’s already been 15 years since I went to Arkor.’ After graduating from college, I experienced a lot of things at my first job and thought that I had done well. I was envious when I saw Kim Shin and Lee Jong-yeop do well after leaving the company. ‘I once had a dream too.’ I met a nice girl because a co-worker set me up on a blind date. A few casual encounters followed, then a date at an amusement park on the weekend. I confessed with a fluttering heart, and I regretted what happened that day. ‘When a woman looks pretty, I should have endured that time.’ We got married, and we lived in moderation with each other. A daughter was born, and a son was born. All items and times in the house have been changed for the sake of the children. I moved to Gyeonggi-do to have a clean environment for raising children. Before that, I still lived in a small villa in Songpa. The comfortable sofas were removed as they took up space, and the beds became the children’s share, of course. The price of baby formula and diapers, which had been talked about as a joke, came down to the bone. When my child grew up and went to school, I was worried about paying for my credit card every month. I work hard, pouring sweat, and the allowance I receive per month is 150,000 won. The life of a head of household who feels guilty every time he writes it. ‘I envy Kim Shin.’ It was so amazing to see him earn huge amounts of money, quit the company, and do well. ‘Can I get a job if I quit Arkor? If you go to America… … .’ Didn’t you take care of me a lot as a senior at work and a team leader? It’s not that I’m hoping for great success, I just need to work hard and make a living. Brother. Because I have to teach my kids English. Do the dishes for me.” “Yes.” My wife, who was an English academy teacher, took care of the education of our two children. Thanks to that, I was able to save a little bit on school fees. 9 years old, 7 years old. It was a time when children learned a lot. Art, piano, essay writing, math, taekwondo, Chinese characters, science, soccer, roller skating, swimming, ballet. ‘Do you plan on raising your child to become an IOC president or UN secretary-general?’ Even so, when other mothers talk to each other, they say they feel guilty for not taking more care of their children. I had given up on the conversation with my wife early. If you reveal the values that it is okay to live in moderation and enjoyment, you will be treated as the worst father who has no interest in your child’s education. Late at night. After 11:00, I ordered chicken and opened a can of beer. A cozy time for the children to sleep and for the couple to spend together. An Myeong-guk opened his mouth with difficulty. “How about going to America?” “USA?” “I was wondering what it would be like to get a job and raise children in America.” As soon as my wife heard it, she wrinkled her brow and frowned. “What are you talking about. Is it because your brother’s college friend immigrated to Canada the other day? Is the situation the same as yours and ours? How much money do you have left on the loan for this house?” “That’s not it… … .” “You have to think about living while paying hard and steadily. What are you going to do?” “Because that’s not it.” “No, what is it? How do you say you are going to America? Education of children? Do you think the kids will adapt well after 1 or 2 years in the US? Then, when you come back to Korea?” “ah… … .” “Can’t you just think and talk? Isn’t it right to be a father and think of the kids first?” An Myeong-guk drank beer and tore off the chicken wings. ‘I want to fly like this.’ When I wanted to look pretty at an amusement park, and was a man. I should have been patient with that moment. In the case of MERS, a Middle Eastern respiratory disease, the mortality rate reached 38%. Coronavirus has a very low mortality rate or seriousness rate compared to it. ‘It’s not too dangerous for a young person.’ Contagious diseases continued to spread, and economic recession was a concern. Even so, it was true that I did not feel it as a threat to my survival. ‘I laughed at China’s quarantine measures and laughed at the spread of infections in Korea.’ Centers for Disease Prevention and Control of the United States. Didn’t people wearing vinyl clothes play the role of the final boss in several movies? However, as local infections spread in New York, it was difficult to even measure the total number of infections. People roamed the streets without masks. Corona spread widely at work, school, and home. ‘Because individual freedom is important, we can never shut down cities like in China. Because of the invasion of privacy, it is difficult to track down and investigate thoroughly, as in Korea.’ Several large cities in the developed country of America. Especially in New York, Corona was spreading defenselessly. ―Elly: I think a confirmed person came out downstairs. ―Elly: I’m not going to work at the company for a while.
