After 12 Hours

God-Fearing Emperor (2)

I've always loved building forests. And I love looking down from that tall building even more. I looked out at the top floor of the building with my arms folded. Today's landscape is quite different from what it used to be. Large parks close by, more forests in the distance than in Gangnam, and big buildings. I looked at it and I thought,

‘Clearly, it's good to have help. ’

Nearby is Central Park. What you can see from a distance is the forest of New York's buildings where Spider-Man flies in a line in the movie. And I'm standing here looking at the top suite of a five-star hotel built by President Trump, who recently resigned. I thought as I swiped the champagne in the glass.

‘I need to buy a house around here. Let's hang out with Ah-young and Seo-hyun sometimes as it feels like a vacation home. ’

I came all the way to New York to attend the SHH Electronics Conference, but I was not interested in the contents of the conference. because we know the results in advance. This new hologram phone will have a huge impact on the market and will make SHH Electronics a leader in the smartphone business. I just need to sit in the front seat and give him a big hand.

I was thinking more about meeting the American press behind the conference. Now that my name is so unknown in Korea, my name is not yet known in the United States. My name will spread further, and it will appear in the newspapers more often, so that I can expand my American footprint.

Fortunately, American journalists were also very interested in me. The story of the person who was born as a slave to capital and became Korea's richest and largest investment company owner seemed to be quite interesting here. As soon as I set the schedule for the United States, the press in the United States had been in a disagreement to make an appointment with me.

"Winwin. Winwin." ’

I thought about it and looked out the window at the champagne once more. But then, behind me, I see a huge shadow. Hotel rooms I booked alone. The one that came in without the door opening. But nevertheless I was not that surprised. Crowe was the one who showed up. Crowe appears with a thick document as always. I raised my glass slightly.

“Leave the quest there, come here. Let's have a drink. What do you think?”

Crowe left the documents on the couch, as I said, and raised a glass of champagne instead.

“If Jules recommends it. ”

I brought champagne from a hotel bar (I haven't seen the price, but it will probably be over KRW 3 million).) into Crowe's glass. He then smashed his glass slightly and said.

“Well done, Crowe. ”

“You're welcome. ”

We drank each other's cups. The aroma of tangy carbonation, rich fruity aromas, and a hint of alcohol is fantastic. I pointed out the window with a glass of champagne.

“That's nice. Crowe came a little last year, didn't he? Here?”

“No, it's my first time in New York. I used to come and go to Washington all the time. ”

“Ah... I see. ”

Last year, when there was a nuclear war crisis, Crowe would go back and forth between the United States and China every month. But I think he's never been in New York before. I said as if Central Park were my front yard.

“This is New York called the capital of the world. ”

Crowe took a moment to look at New York's night vision with his exotic eyes.

“What a splendid sight...”

He then adds a word.

“Good thing this place didn't burn down. ”

I nod, smiling. Only Crowe knows that I knew of the end of the world beforehand and that I stopped it. So when I talk to Crowe, I feel cool, as if I was yelling, "Your ears are donkeys." I couldn't tell my wife that the end of the world was coming. I got a little drunk, and I repeated it.

“I'm so glad. Thank goodness."

Crowe filled my empty glass and said,

“You did a really big thing. ”

That said, I laughed. Crowe is the only one who can pay for my achievements like this.

“Well, I wanted to live. to save my wife and my daughter. ”

Crowe nods and says it reminds me.

“Oh, right. Master Crowe says congratulations. ”

“That... supervisor? ”

“Yes. And congratulations on having the power to be compared to God. ”

“Well...”

That Master Crow must have figured out what I'm capable of. I thought about that mysterious person and said,

Say, "Thank you." ”

Crowe also sipped all the remaining glasses, saying.

“Yes, I understand. ”

I just reached the page of the document he brought. Crowe said to my back:

“I hope this survey was helpful to you. ”

In the words, the Bible says, 'I cannot help in nuclear war, so I pray for forgiveness.' I told him.

“Ah. Never mind that. Crowe. The information I brought you before wasn't used to stop the nuclear war, but it really helped me a lot. It's true."

Crowe said in a slightly lighter voice.

“That's a relief. ”

“Yes. I'll see you in a month... or 15 days. ”

“Yes, Jules. ”

After hearing that, the popularity that I felt in my room for a while disappeared. I listened to Crowe's document. And I thought,

‘Crowe is really useful now that God has power. ’

“Mr. Han. Mr. Han."

In the crowd of reporters, Mike, I calmed them down, settled them down. He also gave some reporters the opportunity to ask questions.

“How would you rate this conference? ”

I deliberately wrote and answered an automated voice recognition translation using the next generation of mobile phones from SHH Electronics. When I speak Korean, the voice comes out in English immediately. Be clear, be clear.

“I am very satisfied. SHH's next generation of mobile phones will be leading the market for the next generation of mobile phones with powerful holographic features. ”

“What's your relationship like with Maverick Turner? ”

“I trust Maverick Turner 100%. You've all seen it today. He sometimes looks like the rebirth of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs, full of hair. ”

I say, some reporters burst out laughing.

“Are you looking to increase your investment in the United States? ”

“Of course. Those of you who have seen this conference will see the tremendous growth of SHH in the United States. So do I. So I'm going to increase SHH Group's investment in the United States, and I'm going to personally invest in American companies. ”

Reporters open their eyes when I personally invest. News about money coming from Korea or the United States is a big deal.

“Can you tell us which company? ”

I said with a smile.

“It's hard, of course. ”

“No, at least give me a hint. ”

I told reporters to be as curious as possible.

“You'll see that in the future. ”

But in the meantime, there was a reporter who asked me a question with a bone.

“You are known to be close to Maverick Turner's brother, William Turner. There is a saying that you intend to use the great American government as a lobby tool, and what do you think about that? ”

I looked at the reporter who asked the question.

‘What is this guy? Political journalists mixed up? ’

If I say a little wrong, it might hurt me or the Turner brothers. I answered appropriately.

“No, I'm just talking to a New York senator to invest in New York State. ”

“Really? You were supposed to have dinner with me tonight. ”

Where else did you get that information? ’

I thought about it and looked at the microphone the reporter was holding. In front of it is written ‘BNC media’.

BNC.

I memorized it in my mind, and I told him.

“Oh, yeah. And I was invited to be a part of it. It's been a long time, but I don't know if it's a little out of the box for family meals. ”

The journalist wanted to ask me more, but then another journalist stepped in.

“Jules, the Future Sink that you sold to the Amazon is currently valued at 5 trillion won. Do you have any regrets about selling it too cheaply? ”

I went over to that question, "What's up?"

“No, because at the time, with stake money, I was called a major Chinese investment, dozens of times. Amazon was good. Amazon was good for me. Win. Win. ”

After the press conference, I told this assistant who was following me.

“This secretary. ”

“Yes.”

“BNC Media. If you look at what I've never heard before, I think it's small or new, and I want you to look at the company's equity relationships. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

The question I had today was likely to be a problem with my future walks. I intend to prevent it in the future.

"First press the money, then if you can't finish... edit it..."

*

That evening, I had dinner with Maverick Turner and William Turner, as BNC Media reporters had discovered.

“So who's the new president, Edward Pittman? ”

“In a way, he's more violent than Trump. Trump used to exaggerate all the time, but he was actually more cautious. But on the contrary, President Pittman has a calm demeanor, and sometimes he acts boldly. ”

I nodded.

“Hmm... I see...”

It's March 2025. If it had been the way it was, there would have been a nuclear war a year later. Former President Trump was also a problem, but to be clear, he is now responsible as well. I used a somewhat negative expression

“I thought President Pittman was a little dangerous. Something about China...”

William Turner feels the same way about me.

“Yeah, I think so, too. I like pressuring China, but he's too much. I think it's more appropriate to alleviate military tensions. ”

I looked at him. This is the third time I've seen him, and he's thoughtful, and he's bright, and above all gentle. I, for one, am a trait not seen by the current President of the United States. I held hands for a moment and said:

“Ms. Turner. Would you excuse us, please? So are you this secretary. ”

I say, President Maverick Turner and his assistant leave the premises. I wrote that polite simultaneous interpreter app and told him.

“Senator Turner. I want you to listen to me and think about it. ”

My brother was bitten, my secretary bit, and when I said that, Senator William Turner looked at me with a slightly tense glance.

“What... do you mean? ”

I told him what I meant.

“Perhaps I think... Senator Turner should be looking for a future championship. ”

“Yes… eh? ”

Senator Turner looks half surprised, not all of them.

‘I thought about it, but I didn't think it would come from your mouth. ’

It is an approximate response. I took out the document I had prepared and handed it to him. It is the political weakness of the current President of the United States that Crowe has investigated. making it impossible to re-elect. As soon as Senator Turner received the document, he immediately understood the importance of what was written there.

“This is...”

I told him I was jealous.

“What do you think? Why don't you join me? ”

Senator Turner said in a somewhat discreet voice.

“But the presidential election is in four years...”

I said, holding hands.

“Four years to go. I'm telling you.”

In 4 years, you will have enough time to satisfy the probability in 'edit’. I spoke to him with a firm voice.

“Congressman Turner, I want you to be president of the United States in four years. I'm here to help. ”
