After 12 Hours

7 months later

“Here's your proposal. ”

Zhang gave me the document he was holding. I took it. On the upper left is a blue mark that says "Tencent" in English and "Tungsteen" in Korean. And underneath it is a brochure offering to take over the Kaigamez. ’There is a phrase written:

“The last time you turned down an offer was last October, right? ”

“Yes, it is. Boss.”

“Well, it's been almost seven months. ”

“That's right.”

It's May 2020. It's early summer, and it's been almost a year and a half since the launch of the fantasy war ground in Kaigamis, where we launched the CBT earlier last year. Since its launch, the Fantasy War Ground has been a game that has dominated the game market that year and still challenged global share # 1. The market capitalization of Kaigamez is 200 trillion won. When I bought it for the first time, I doubled my share of the company to ₩ 150 trillion.

Let's see how much you've given. ’

I accepted the proposal. Then his eyes widened slightly and he muttered.

“Oops.”

"60 Billion KRW if sold for 20% of 63% of ownership"

63% of 63% ownership of 2 trillion won

“You're willing to pay 2 trillion won? I buy electric power."

“Yes, it is. I was a little surprised to see that. ”

“The Chinese are so big. Is this the weather on the continent? ”

“Yes, I'd like to add another 500 billion to the premium... but I'm sure you're more than willing to profit from China's business. ”

“Well...”

I was troubled for a moment. Originally, I only wanted to sell 20% of my shares and get cash to buy other companies, but the premium of KRW 500 billion was huge. I'm tempted, too.

"Premium is also premium... but it's more about what the stock price will be."

No game will flow like water over time. The thrilling battle royal game was slowly passing by. The Fantasy War Ground was one of the successful successors, so it was still being maintained by its concurrent connections, but it was also expected to be gradually delivered around the end of the year. I have already checked that in the ‘IT/Science’ category.

‘I have to consider selling everything. ’

Of course, once I sell all my shares, my ownership of the Kaigaming will disappear from me. In short, it means getting away from reaching the Rank of Grandmaster with a total market value of 10 trillion won.

‘But if you have $2 trillion in cash... it won't be that hard to buy a new company worth $5 or $6 trillion. ’

Money is the key anyway.

“I'll think about it a little bit more, and then I'll talk to you about it. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

“How are the current constraints? ”

"Very well, FDA sales permits are underway, and they're on the market soon. ”

“Good for you. I want you to finish well. Tell him.”

“Yes, boss. ”

Zhang heads down and leaves the boss' room. Hyundai Pharmaceuticals was also following the process that I had anticipated, passing the New Drug Phase 3 FDA, and waiting for a license to sell. Hyundai Pharmaceuticals, which was a little over 1 trillion won in market value at the time, once (for three days) approached 3 trillion won, now 200 trillion won in FDA passes.

By the way, the ladies and gentlemen who were watching the phone on the set...

I met an MBE superant last year. It reminded me of the second shoot. That day, I said that.

‘Blue E&M and Hyundai Pharmaceuticals have been added to the port along with the last event. ’

And at that time, as soon as I heard the story, there were women buying stocks with their heads cut off. If you bought a contract at the time, maybe a double. I would have eaten twice as much.

‘But… if you bought BlueE&M? ’

To be honest, Blue E&M sucked. Blue E&M, which had increased its market share in gaming, entertainment and collaboration, was pushed back because European TV was using the same approach. Stock prices are long sidewalks. If I bought it, it would be +10% profit or loss. The business structure is not deficient, but it did not grow significantly.

Of course, if I make a big investment, something might change. To be honest, Blue E&M did not have much affection for the former President of Ophthalmology. No, more precisely, I think we're a little bit less interested in 30 billion companies now. Now I had two trillion companies. Potentially three.

‘Our prospect... is about to come to fruition. ’

Future Sync, which we discovered last October, was an AI translation company. The system was more sophisticated than Amazon and Google, a company that brings together historically translated documents to provide more sophisticated translations.

‘So I'm going to give you two trillion won. ’

The completion of this system is this month or the next. Two months after its completion, it will be announced to the AI Conference in Silicon Valley, where a representative from the Amazon AI business unit will report to the current world's wealthiest CEO, Jeff Bezos.

I've already bought 150 billion shares in the past year. I don't know how much the offer will change, but it will probably go the same way. Business is booming. I will soon be rich with 10 trillion won vs. company.

With the Grand Master's grades. ’

I woke up from my seat. I barely traded in this morning, and now that I've seen Jean this afternoon, I'm done with what I need to do today. I said out of the boss' room.

“Secretary Park, Secretary Park, I'll go home first. ”

Park's assistant who was standing outside greets me.

“Go on in, boss. ”

However, my assistant stood up and followed me.

“Ms. Grant... ”

“Huh?"

“Did you decide to sell those Kai Games? ”

I'm not usually the kind of person who asks questions like this. Why do they ask? I looked at him for a moment, and said.

“Secretary, follow me for a moment. ”

“Yes.”

I stood with him in front of the elevator and pressed the lift button.

"Heave-ho."

The elevator stops and the secretary comes in. The elevator has buttons on floors 1 through 40, and on top of that there is a button that says’ P ’. I pressed the‘ P ’button. Immediately, the voice of the machine came out.

“Please enter your password”

I quickly pressed a few floors.

‘32, 18, 7, 3, 22, 15’

And that voice...

Penthouse.

I told him the floor I was going to. The elevator is our home. Stand in a penthouse on the top floor of the Invictus building. I loosened my tie, put my coat on the couch, and then pulled a can of beer out of the fridge.

“What would you like to drink? ”

“No. I'm on duty... and I... have to drive. ”

“You can have something other than beer. ”

“Orange juice, then. ”

I picked up a pack of orange juice and threw it at him, then left for the outdoor terrace with him. It's time for the breeze to warm up in May. I looked at the pool by the terrace and thought,

‘Soon it will be time to play water. ’

When I thought about it, my secretary asked me.

“W-why did you call me? ”

I took a sip of beer and looked at the long open city of Seoul.

“You tell me the truth. ”

“Yes?”

“You bought the game, didn't you? ”

In my words, the secretary answers honestly.

“... yes."

“How much did you buy? ”

“I don't know about... um... buying. ”

“I don't know how much you paid for it, but you put all your paycheck in there? ”

“Yes. Bonuses. Everything.”

I said with a ridiculous smile.

“So how much is it now? ”

“A little over 4 billion won. ”

That said, I laughed bloody. I was a secretary, and there were overlaps of people who were currently on drugs during filming. My secretary has been with me since I started the company, so I was able to follow me really early on. I suddenly remembered the promise I made to him.

‘If you stay with me, I'll do Porsche in 3 years. ’

So, I told him.

“Yes, four billion would be worth buying Porsche for. ”

When he heard that, his secretary told me instead of drinking orange juice.

“Th-thank you. Sang-hoon. Thank you so much."

I looked at him somewhat surprised. Secretary. It's been a long time since Ji-hoon called my name in a suit. I felt a sense of camaraderie in the dialogue, and I told him.

“Are you... going to quit your job as an assistant? ”

“Yes, I'll leave you to work until next month. ”

“Starting a business?”

“Yes.”

Again, I've been sitting next to myself for two years and I've been studying since I sold English writing or computer programming. To leave me alone someday.

“Well, yes... but I don't think things would have worked out so well without you. ”

“I've taught all my secretarial duties to Park's secretary since three months ago. ”

“Since three months ago? And?”

“Yes, I decided three months ago, and I told Park's assistant. ”

“What, so I'm the only one who didn't know? ”

“Yes, sorry. Boss.”

Twelve months from now, I know who the president is going to be, but I don't think my secretary's going to quit a month from now. That's the irony of my abilities.

“Whatever. I can't stop your dreams, either. It... doesn't fit my philosophy. ”

“Thank you for your understanding. ”

“Then instead... give me one wish. ”

“What... you mean? ”

“51% stake in your company. Start selling to me. To be precise, we start with an early investor. ”

“Yes?”

“That's great. You get a solid backpack, which is a big four billion dollars, but isn't that what the startup industry does? Do you really think that's gonna work when you get into IT? ”

“If you would... thank you. ”

“Well, instead, we're aiming to go public in three years. How about that? ”

“I'll try.”

I patted him on the shoulder.

“Yeah, work hard. ”

At that time, Ji-hoon asked me.

“By the way, sir, Is that why you're selling Kaigamez?

I looked him up and down at the question.

“Wow, he's a total stockbroker. This?”

“I've been with you for two years. It was time to recite the moonlight. ”

“Well...”

I take one more sip of beer, then pause for a second. The Kaigaming that gave me the most money. But I think it's time for us to be together. I made my decision here, and I told him.

“Just know this. This is a trillion dollar deal. ”

“Yes.”

“I'm selling it. Sixty-three percent of it's coming in for me, so I won't crash just because I sold it... but in the long run, the prospect...”

I say it, his secretary says.

“I believe in you. Sir, I'll leave quietly before you leave. ”

It meant selling the stock, but it was overlapping with the idea of leaving the company. I said, tasting the sadness again.

“Well, yes. Anyway, good work for two years. Get out there and be good. Report back to me. ”

Seo Ji-hoon, a secretary at the university, bowed his head to me.

“Yes, sir. We look forward to your continued support. ”
