After 12 Hours

hyenas and lions

Park's secretary, Rolls-Royce, jogged down the road. I sat in the back seat and looked out the window. You can see the building written ‘Invictus’ in orange. We're almost home, to our company. I glanced out the window at our building, and said as if to spit it out.

“I'm offended. That's...”

Park's assistant asked me, surprised by what I said.

“Yes?”

I shaken my head and said:

“No, no, no. Drive."

“Ah… yes. ”

Park continued to drive as I said, and I also looked back at our building. As I saw our building getting closer and closer, I thought,

‘He used to give us advice sometimes. Since we've been helped before, we should help when it's hard. Isn't that right? "

The Garden Royale that just happened. That's what Table Moon told me. When he said that, others looked at each other a word or two.

‘Yes, my Chairman Tak is right a hundred times. ’

‘Hahaha, I agree too. ’

When I look at the lines, they're very good stories. Don't tell me to help and live because someone else is in trouble (which is not true). But what bothers me is the gesture that Table Moon did while saying that. making one hand into the capital and touching the other wrist. I've never seen it in real life, but I've already seen it once in a crow's dream. When Table Moon removed the turbulence. I thought about the hand gesture.

"Maybe it meant... crossing or cutting..."

If Table Moon's words are false and his hands are true. The situation just became completely opposite to the ambassador.

"If you really invested all your wealth in China and became a beggar, then we're done. ’

‘Yes, my Chairman Tak is right a hundred times. ’

‘Hahaha, I agree too. ’

I thought of the atmosphere then. It wasn't even a good time to smile, but I laughed openly or at least had a ceremonial ceremony. Maybe that gesture is some kind of code that they share or some kind of meme that they've been dating for a long time.

And I was mocked for not knowing it.

He was very precise, so he would never do anything that he was losing (including things that made his image worse). He probably thought I wouldn't even recognize his hand gesture and did it. It's true. If I'd seen that hand for the first time at that party, I probably wouldn't have thought it was weird. Just like always.

‘As expected, Chairman Tak Moon-soo speaks very nicely. ’

I would have. But there, Table Moon made one mistake. I have seen that hand gesture and already know roughly what it means. So I could accurately read the atmosphere at that time. The fact that Table Moon was making a fool of me by opposing my words and gestures.

‘You're out of luck. It was perfect all along, but it wasn't. ’

I've always looked at him with suspicious eyes, and a little bit with wondrous eyes. He killed his cousin cruelly behind the scenes, and he used to say and act so nice in front of him all the time. But I am also convinced that the reality is a perfectly trained, monstrous human being unlike any other on the outside. He was admired by his subordinates and praised by the public, but it was probably the result of a perfectly crafted mask, a deception. Even though it's a natural thing to do.

‘Obviously, turbulence was lacking when compared to table tennis... to deceive others while managing their image. ’

In retrospect, his cousin Tak Joon-gi was a very human person compared to Table Mun-su. Because he was inclined to reveal his own greed. Of course, I tried to hide it as best I could, but I could see the ground clearly. So he was defeated and killed by Table Mundo. I recalled the crow's dream at that time. There's another catchy line.

‘We are born with the DNA of victory. But defeat... defeat is for the common man. You're no longer Su-yeon's type. ’

When you think about it, Table Mun-su was such a style that he despised the losers. Maybe that's why he unconsciously said, "I've suffered a great loss."

"as if he had never lost..."

But when I think about it like that, I really think 'Maybe I did.' Since I was born as a defiant member of Suyeon Group and lived as a prince completely, where could I feel defeated? Takjungi was a bastard, and he always lived as an underdog, so there was such inferiority, but Tak Moon Soo did not have the opposite. Then perhaps he has never really lost a defeat. No matter how many people explain it, they do not understand what they have not experienced.

"A man who has never been defeated... that is invictus... the motto of our company..."

When I think about it,

“We're here, boss. ”

Mr. Park's assistant Rolls-Royce arrived at the main parking lot, located in the basement parking lot of our building. I told Park's secretary

“Yes, thank you. ”

I said that and got off the bench. I got a Rolls-Royce key from Park's secretary, split up, took the elevator, pressed 'P’ and then pressed the password.

‘Penthouse.’

The elevator that took me went up to the top floor of the building. As I was on my way, I kept thinking about pingmun soo.

"A man who despises a loser... and then... if he becomes a loser, what will he look like?" ’

After that day, however, I decided never to attend the Garden Royal meeting again. Time passes.

‘Han Sang-hoon was not ruined, but on the contrary, Korea's wealthiest people became rich. ’

It turns out that the invitation will come again, but I decided not to go. It's because I once again felt that I was an "outsider," a "peculiar species that came up from the sky." I didn't want to get along with them in the first place, but I thought I was respectful of each other while meeting them two or three times. And to be honest with you,

‘When the money is gone, you can no longer play with us. ’

I feel bad when I get a message like that. It is not I who have no real money, but those people. Relatively.

*

January 28th. 8: 30 am this day. I went to work early. Today was the day of the final report. I told Park's assistant on my way to work.

“Tell Vice President Park Secretary Jang. I'm going to work. ”

“Oh, yes, sir. Boss.”

Just five minutes later, Vice President Jang came to the boss' room.

“As I said before, all trading ended this morning with the last of the American market. The details are complicated... but I'll email them to you separately... and just look at the results. ”

He pushes forward the thin report in his hand. I think it impressed me that I put it away without reading a very thick report last time. Good. I'm not interested in the details anyway.

“Yes, that's good. ”

I nodded and read some of the edges report. The profit earned when the books were converted into KRW 36 trillion 742.1 billion. Combined with the original money and the return on my personal account, my assets are now worth 45 trillion won. This made me the richest man in Korea for a short time. with an overwhelming gap between two and 30 trillion. I really am at the pinnacle of money, the god of investment. After looking at the report for a long time, I raised my head to Vice President Jang.

“I see... Then... what I said last time. Search for a new M&A. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

“Let's go to a more moderated condition. I don't think I need to be more petty after earning this much. ”

In the future news, asset prices in South Korea have neither decreased nor risen to this extent in the next year without having to stock real estate. Side walk level with floor slam. Of course, if you pull a little harder here, the companies that are suffering inside will be painful, but I don't think they can live very cheaply.

That's why I've decided to buy from now on. To achieve the Rank of Grandmaster. With a Grandmaster rating, I'll be able to receive news in 12 years, and I'll be able to plan and fund investments in the long run.

“If you think so, I'll find out right away. ”

Zhang bowed his head to me.

“Yes, I'll take good care of it. ”

After Jean left, I thought about Grand Master status.

Twelve years from now... and then we can predict the next economic crisis, and then we can jump again. ’

Before the financial crisis in China, there was a theory that left the stock market a few years ago. The 10-Year Cycle of the Economic Crisis: the 1984 Latin American Foreign Exchange, the 1998 East Asian Foreign Exchange, and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. The global crisis is coming on a 10-year cycle, which hit me somewhat when it hit China in 2021. After 12 years of news, I'll know when I can place a big bet again.

We're going to put together 200 trillion by 2030 and fry it up to 1000 trillion in the next crisis. ’

Then perhaps I will surpass the richest in Korea and become the richest man in the world. Or perhaps the richest man in the history of mankind. Historic rich investment kings, like the golden king, the golden king, Andrew Carnegie, the king of steel, and John Davidson Rockefeller, the king of oil.

‘I really am now living in history. ’

My name will now be in the textbooks. I feel so heartbroken thinking about it.

‘Of course, to do that...’

I turned my gaze to the bottom right of the monitor to check the time. 8: 52. The news of the future is already here. I looked at the news of the future and searched my name, as I always have. Just in case something happened. No matter how rich people get, the plane they were on crashes, or get cancer, it's over. I am invincible if only I can prevent it. The search results were fortunate.

‘Invisibility Inventory, Han Sang-hoon's main arena. ’

That's my day. Winning every time. I nod and think about the remaining slots.

‘President Seong-won? What do we do with the other one? ’

I looked at it without much thought, and I searched for the name that came to mind first.

Ping Mun-su

But strangely, there was an interesting news story.

‘Suyeon electronic reverberation electron acquisition. Take the first test of leadership for Table Moon-Soo, who is on the frontline of management. ’

I saw it and said it in person.

“Oh-ho.”

I tried to fuck you once, but it worked out just fine. I picked up the phone and told Park's assistant.

“Secretary Park. I'm sorry, Vice President Jang. Why don't you come back to my room? ”
