After 12 Hours

IPO (2)

“Then Seo Hyun will hold you and your father and take a picture. ”

According to the guide, my wife and I posed with Seo-hyun. A woman with a camera approaches and films us. A ‘snap’ was heard, and the moderator stretched out his arms.

“Then it's time for Seo-hyun, whom everyone has been looking forward to. ”

In May 2024, after Seohyun's first stone, I rented a floor of a company building to hold a stone celebration party. The moderator was a famous comedian from OH Enter, and as soon as I put a phone call in, President Kwon immediately arrested him.

“Could your father bring Seo-hyun over here? ”

We took Seo-hyun to the place led by the moderator. Miniature judge bars, stethoscope, microphone, soccer ball, silk thread, mouse, pencil, and earpiece are placed on beautifully decorated tables.

“Then before you start the stone... what do you want Seo Hyun to catch? ”

I looked at the placed objects. To be honest, it was the silk thread that caught the most eye. Silk Thread, meaning ‘Longevity'. But I chose an okay answer.

“Whatever you hold, I like it. I will fully support whatever Seo Hyun wants. ”

“Ah-ha-ha, Seo-hyun really can do anything for the wealthiest man in Korea. ”

It's true, my daughter Seo-hyun was a taboo among the cursed. But I don't intend to raise her. The people I fought to get here, they were all beasts, and there were aspects of them that lacked humanity. No matter how precious my daughter is, I can't raise her like that.

“What about your mother?”

“I like anything. If it's what Seo Hyun wants. ”

“I see. Seo Hyun is very lucky. Meet generous parents. So let the rocks begin. ”

She carried Seo-hyun in front of the miniatures. Seo Hyun looked at them curiously and grabbed the pink microphone.

“Oh, Mike! Seo Hyun is interested in art or broadcasting! Working hard is what machines do, and brainstorming is a promising job for computer-generated artists these days. ”

While the moderator was talking hard, I took a quick peek at the people gathered at this party. Close, mother, father, brother and sister. From the family, relatives like little fathers, little mothers, cousins, first aunts and uncles sit down, and on the other side of the table, the relatives of the wife sit down.

Behind the relatives are several Executive Vice Presidents Jang, and Park's secretary, this secretary, the people of Invisibles Investment, OH Enter, Ji-hoon, the former secretary who is independently and actively running the company, and his old hometown friends. People who have long been related, delayed, and studied, are truly my people. I roughly counted people with my eyes.

‘About 50, I think. I can carry it twice on my own plane. You could hire a few more doctors, electricians, programmers to survive there. ’

An Icelandic underground bunker with a budget of 50 billion is almost finished. There were habitable facilities for up to 100 people, food for nearly 30 years, semi-permanent generators, water and air purification systems, and crop cultivation systems.

Not only that, but also activities such as libraries, Internet cafeteria, board games room, theater, gym, basketball court, and sports facilities were provided to prevent bunker life from getting boring. so that there are no shortages of inhabitants. Doomsday plans to expand to another 200 billion by mid-year next year. By then, the money won't mean anything anymore.

‘A hundred people would live underground and not be very lonely. ’

While I'm thinking about it,

“Then clap! ”

The host's words resound on the party floor. Meanwhile, my wife whispers in my ear.

"What's the matter, brother? Show me your face. ’

Thinking about the apocalypse with Shelter, I don't know, he didn't look so good. I joined the clapping with a slightly clumsy smile. After all my meals, I also talked about work with Vice President Jang and the directors. The big event, the IPO of the Invisibility Investment, is imminent.

“So there's nothing wrong with the process? ”

“I keep in constant communication with the Financial Supervisor, and he says no problem. ”

“Yes. What's the demand? ”

“That's enough. We expect to be the largest IPO of all time. ”

“Good.”

The IPO went seamlessly, regardless of scale and schedule, as I intended. Next month, Invisibility Investment will be listed on Cospi. At the same time, I will advance to the next Rank level. When you think about it, there is a little hope. I walked to the table with my secretary, Ji-hoon, who was having dinner with this secretary from afar. I walked over and slapped Ji-hoon on the shoulder.

“Hey, boss. Are you good at your job? ”

Ji-hoon looks up at me, smiling and saying.

“It's hard, but it's worth it. ”

I sat next to him and said,

“Oh, yeah? ”

He said, "Well, you know, starting your own company... it's hard, but it's rewarding. Loyalty, I'd say. So I'm working very hard. ”

“Yes. That's good. Work hard, go public, give me my investment back. ”

“Yes, boss. I think we'll get the right results by the middle of next year or... by the end of next year. ”

‘End of next year. ’

“Ah… yes. ”

By then, the Apocalypse would have been months away. Perhaps Ji-hoon's product will disappear without seeing the light of the world for months. But I don't have to worry about others. I spoke in the brightest voice possible.

“Good. Keep up the good work."

Ji-hoon answered me with a cheerful voice.

“Yes, boss! We'll make sure we meet your expectations. ”

I feel much better when I see him so vigorously. I think I should work with a more positive mind. Ji-hoon suddenly tapped the shoulder of Park's assistant who was eating next to him.

“By the way, Park's secretarial work environment has improved considerably more than I did when I was working. ”

“Really? What? Nothing's changed. ”

He put this secretary in front of him and said softly.

“Pair her with that beauty, and do it while I'm around. ”

In his words, this secretary turns his head, smiling, and Park's secretary looks at him with one glance.

“No, I just voted for ability. This secretary speaks a lot of foreign languages. ”

“So is that. Ms. Grant, when she was with me, she never went on a business trip overseas... and recently she's been hurt and back in New York and even that...”

Park's assistant spoke for him as he blurred his horse's tail.

“Iceland.”

“I heard you come and go to Iceland a lot. ”

I answered briefly.

“Yes, because we're a global company now. ”

“That would be great. You're going to go overseas... and your assistants are going to stay at some fancy hotel. ”

I nodded.

“Of course.”

“I envy you. I wanted to go to New York. I wanted to go to New York. Iceland is great.”

“Well, I don't know what to do when the time is right. Maybe you should take a vacation. ”

“Well, that's not going to work. I have to roll the company up and give back ten times the investment to the boss. ”

I nodded. I can see Ji-hoon is crazy about things. Traveling abroad will not be noticed Today's event is also for my daughter, so I sent her an invitation myself. Ji-hoon put the orange in his mouth and said,

“Why are you... going to Iceland, anyway? I heard it's a financial empire. ”

“Ah… because of the investment. ”

“Is this an Icelandic company? ”

“No… some kind of real estate investment. ”

His secretary blinked and said.

“Oh, I see. Do you invest in real estate these days? ”

“Yeah, it's kind of a vacation home...”

I said with a slightly bitter smile.

“When... when I get a chance, I'll take you there. ”

Ji-hoon did not know my speed, and replied cheerfully.

“Very well, then. I look forward to it.”

Next month, June 2024. I left for Iceland momentarily as the company's IPO was approaching for two weeks. From Paul Ocean

‘The bunker is complete. ’

It's because we've been contacted. Reykjavik arrives on my private plane. And about 200 kilometers from there was my bunker. I looked around. It was built to be strong and stable enough to survive the nuclear war. Paul Ocean asked me through this assistant.

“What do you think, Jules? Are you satisfied?”

I nodded.

“Yes, very satisfied. It's much better than I expected. ”

In my compliment, Paul Ocean laughed. He was pretty proud of this as the CEO of Doomsday Prefers. About the time he came out looking around the bomb shelter, he asked me.

“By the way, Jules, are you sure you want to expand? It's still the world's highest, largest private bunker…”

I listened to it, and I told him.

“Yes, but be prepared. ”

I mean, he was pretty shocked.

“Ah... really... yes... I understand. ”

I don't even think there will be a nuclear war in a few years.

“Then I'll send a new blueprint to Jules as soon as I can. Once drafted, you will be required to give us a penalty fee if you cancel, as the additional contract you specified at the time of your first contract will be underway. ”

I nodded.

“Yes, I'm fine. Please proceed.”

If there's a nuclear war coming, everything outside the bunker is useless. And a few trillion of my assets. You don't have to save money there. I certainly thought so at this point.

Two weeks after returning from Iceland, I completed the scheduled Invisibility Invisible Inventory's listed process. Within the stock exchange, he cut a long series of ribbons with the exchange executives and received a ban. Today, the publicly traded Invisible Investment started at ₩ 150,000 per week and went directly to the upper limit. It was that Invisibility Investment was recognized as more than 400 trillion won company.

"Invisibility +30%"

The number written in red next to my company name gives me a new feeling of regret. From the time I got my acting up until now, I've only seen other people's stocks go up and down, and I've seen my company go up like that. I looked at it and I thought,

‘No matter how the world is destroyed... at this moment, it will be a beautiful memory. ’

I got out of the stock exchange thinking like that. That night, after all the hard work, the vice president, the directors, the award money, the drinking. I came home, but I told my wife to wake me up the next day at 7: 00. Tomorrow at 8: 00, you will receive a guide from the next class' EXXXXX 'to take your skills.

And then the next morning. When I woke up from my wife's bioalarm, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and forcefully went to work, waking up from a hangover. While drinking the hot honey tea my wife gave me, I waited for 8 o'clock. And then I saw the brochure. I had no choice but to doubt my eyes.

"What?"

And I looked at it for a long time, and I picked up phone number two and I said to this assistant,

“This Secretary”

“Yes, boss. ”

“Call Paul Ocean. There was no expansion agreement... so I need you to cancel it now. ”
