The Youngest Son of Sunyang

After stopping my father from leaving, I arrived at the airport, and Oh Se-hyun was waiting for me.

“What brings you out here? ”

“Too bad, man. I thought the new car announcement was in three days. Would you like to see a new car launch? ”

“No, it doesn't. It doesn't make a difference if I can't see it. ”

“Isn't this the first car to come out with the HW name? ”

It's just a minivan that's been preparing since the time of the car. It goes into inertia, regardless of the purpose for which I acquired the automotive company. Nothing special.

State the reason for the acquisition and why it became the slogan of the HW car when it entered New Millennium.

Being reborn as a new automotive company in a new era has both appeal and symbolism.

“I think it's best to stay out of it for now. You could be mistaken for a majority shareholder. Why don't you skip the new car announcement, too? Leave it to the experts for now. Ajin, aren't you the expert in the Crucible? ”

“I don't want to. I want to watch. We also need to show up occasionally to make them nervous. ”

The role of investor, or shareholder, is much better known than I do, I said no more.

“By the way, did you talk to your father? ”

“DMC?”

“Yes.”

“I wasn't sure about you, either, but would you do it for me? ”

“It's better to speak your mind than your son, isn't it? ”

“Son of a... One notice.”

Oh Se-hyun slapped my shoulder with a smile.

“Just wait a little longer. The desire to do so is a lot more cautious because you're worried about realistic possibilities. ”

“Please at least tell me you have to start by the end of the year. Wouldn't it be better to move in as soon as you get ready and enter the building? And when he does, there will be a lot of people who will follow him. ”

“Don't mind here. Go back to work. I've already talked to them there. They shouldn't be any inconvenience. ”

I said I was going to cool off, but I know I'm not.

“Yes, I'll take it easy. ”

I returned the worried Oh Se-hyun and got on a plane to New York.

“Joon!”

I heard a voice calling my name at the entrance.

“Brother!”

In one year, Sang-jun's brother changed a lot.

The hair that had been dyed colorfully in a musical and rowdy outfit was nowhere and was ordinary with jeans and shirts all around.

“What, did you get rid of the music? You're too much of a geek. ”

“Yes. Screw you. Huhu.”

A smile tells me it's not a joke.

“Really?"

“Let's talk about it slowly and quickly. My mother is preparing a feast for you. Forcibly eat it all. ”

When I entered the apartment where my mother and brother lived, I smelled of food. I think my mother is mistaken. I didn't come from abroad, I came from Korea to New York.

However, the table was full of Korean food, including stew.

A dining table that expresses how sorry it is for not being able to prepare a table for my younger son to take care of his eldest son.

You should be thankful for this heart, even if it is not from your brother. I emptied everything and stroked my torn belly.

I only slept after eating ten thousand days.

When I got used to the paralysis, I talked with Sang-jun's brother over a glass.

“What? You gave up on real music? ”

“Yes."

“Why?”

“There's only one thing I've learned in the last two years. I was not starring, I was just an audience. I couldn't even get on stage as an extra. ”

“No chance? ”

Sang-jun's brother shakes his head, smiling bitterly as he pours his drink into a touching cup.

“Those who sing with scrap guitars on the streets of New York are better than me. ”

“You're not supposed to be a singer. Wasn't it production?”

“I mean, singers have to pull music out of instruments, but they can't. I have ears to listen to music. That's all it was. ”

“So what do you do now? ”

“I'm not doing anything. I'm just hanging out here. ”

One or two young men who mourn their incompetence, but their brotherly faces are sad.

“What do you think? If you keep playing around, you'll see the end. Don't rush it. It took you two years to realize your limitations, so shouldn't it take you two years to find new possibilities? ”

Sang-jun's brother smiled at me.

“We should have been born reordered. That's more like it. ”

“Wow! Howard. Look at you! What a gorgeous! ”

I haven't seen you in, what, three years?

Rachel Arieff, an older, more sophisticated figure, embraced me with a distinctive exaggeration.

“So are you. How long are you going to be so cool? ”

Rachel laughed as she opened her mouth to my compliments.

Damn it. Why do these words only come from people I meet for work?

What should I eat for one Minyoung or meet once a month? The word first comes out.

“James told me. You've got a lot on your mind lately, so don't do anything you can. ”

“But you can't play around with someone who's busy. It just doesn't rust your hair. ”

because it's the largest shareholder, and it's over two billion dollars, and it's the biggest hand of money that we've seen since we were 10 years old? Rachel treated me like my older sister.

“Good. Let's brief them on the situation, shall we? ”

“Let's finish our meal first. ”

At a restaurant in Manhattan, I had lunch with a salad and french fries and headed to the Miracle Investments headquarters.

Wall Street was probably going to be difficult to adapt to forever.

This is the home of a completely different species from humans. Even in Hollywood.

The notion of money is different It earns a lot and uses a lot. In my mind, it seems useless at all, but there are many elements that are too important to them.

Paintings hanging in office hallways, vases and flowers all over the place.

Those paintings are authentic and are used as a tool to pay an enormous monthly rent to famous galleries and enhance the quality of the office. The vase is also the work of a famous writer, and flowers are changed every morning by an expert. All of this is costly.

It's crazy if you think about it, but it's natural here. The reason is because of the customers.

Upper class Americans who don't own a lot of money.

What began to suit their tastes is now transmitted to the upper class, even to the people who work here.

Oh, there are similar kinds of people. That's my aunt.

Auntie follows this upscale class of Americans all the time.

The conference room that followed Rachel was not just for a briefing, but also for a very detailed and thorough report.

As expected, I can't be bothered because I hold their lives in my hands.

After listening to my investment so far and my future investment plans, I opened my mouth.

“In the future, direct investment in dotcom companies is prohibited. No matter how bright the future may seem, you can't trust them. Of course, you can't trust your gut, you can't trust your data. ”

About a dozen managers sitting in the conference room started talking.

Isn't Silicon Valley the place where the world's money is being collected right now? If you don't invest there, you'll hear Wall Street calling you an idiot.

When someone disagrees and flinches, Rachel looks at them with fierce eyes and they all shrivel up.

“If you invest directly in a company, we can't decide when an exit is going to happen. You can't get caught in the game. You learn to walk. We have to lead the game. Direct Investment is a game of founder of .com. We only play on NASDAQ. ”

“Isn't it Howard's ability to invest directly and earn high returns before going public? Now you're being careful? ”

Rachel asked on behalf of everyone.

What should I say?

Ironically, you can't answer that a dotcom bubble blows up and a lot of money disappears into thin air.

“What do you say, wrap something that doesn't exist in good words, seduce people, and then make them pay for it themselves? ”

“Fraud?”

“Yes. Fraud... They call it something else these days. ”

Everyone's gaze was on my mouth.

“Venture spirit. ”

The conference room was dead quiet.

“A penny would be fine. You need to invest in a company that is actually selling, an IT company that delivers specific services, even if it is not performing well. like the Amazon. ”

Most of them seemed to only know about the existence of the Amazon. But there was also a friend who was strong in the details.

“If you're talking about Amazon, are you talking about online bookstores? ”

“Yes, Amazon.com. ”

A friend who is strong in detail waves his head.

“If you're talking about the Amazon, which was founded in 1994, value investments converge on zero. Last year the company's listed price was $18 per share, but it closed at $1.96 on the first day of the deal. ”

“How do you know so much? ”

When I asked him in surprise, a friend who was strong in detail couldn't lift his head, sighing, and the conference room became a laughing sea.

I also burst out laughing at this scene.

“How much have you lost? ”

Rachel stretches her palms out as she stops smiling and asks.

“Five thousand dollars? ”

Rachel shakes her head a little.

“50,000?”

Rachel nods.

“They all said it was unlikely, but he ended up investing his own money. The loss was his own embrace. Kick-kick.”

“Too bad. I would have invested ten, maybe a hundred times that. ”

It's not too late now. The stock price is still the same.

After realizing that I meant it, Rachel opened her eyes wide.

“Howard, are you serious? ”

“Of course. Amazon takes orders and delivers books. There's very little sales going on. It's a simple concept, but it's not like a noisy dotcom. The concept of service is genuine, simple and understandable. The rest is just bubbles. ”

Why does everyone realize this simple principle after paying a huge price for it?

“After this time, recover all the money you invested directly into the dotcom company. Make a reasonable excuse and take some loss. and invest only in the shares of companies listed on NASDAQ. That's rule number one. ”

“Is there a second time? ”

Rachel didn't have any doubts. She is the closest person I have ever come to seeing the results.

“The second is that no matter how much the storm grows, Nasdaq completely withdraws in the quarter of 2000. ”

“Why?”

“By then, everyone will know. ”

“Ventures are fraud? ”

“That's right.”

The NASDAQ rises to 5,000 and then falls completely. It's a gift from New Millennium.

Managers who didn't know about this began to talk with embarrassing expressions.

“But Howard, The investors won't stand for it. If we're the only ones invested in a burning company at dotcom, we're gonna make a fortune. because there are many other investors. ”

“Then make sure you invest. They invest because they want to. We must not forget to note the risks. ”

I wanted to see their skills when everyone gave and received ridiculous eyes.

“Let's go to the top. Who knows what the future of Microsoft will bring out of thousands of companies? ”
