Chapter 120
A friend to go with forever
I met a lot of people while doing business in the US.
Lawyer, financier, founder of Silicon Valley.
One of them was amazing people, but Han Chae-won was not objectively inferior to them.
‘I’m really good at fighting.’
The holder of the ability to blame everything on me in any situation, no matter what happens.
He was the kind of person who made mistakes three or four times and blamed them all on me.
Since she said that she wrote the manuscript of the book, I guessed that she would tell a great story.
[On the day I went to Kim Shin’s shabby home, he served me soybean paste stew with clams and kimchi fried rice.
Kim Shin smiled happily.
“It’s the pants. It’s delicious just boiled, but it’s also delicious if you put it in soybean paste stew or fried rice, right?”
He put clams into the pot, saying that they are a great quality ingredient.
Of course, since I can’t buy it like this, I can be so satisfied with clams.
‘ha. Not even truffles and caviar in the fridge. It’s understandable when you see such a messy house.’
A musty semi-basement room.
‘Couldn’t it be that the cockroaches are dead on the wall?’
I suppressed my irritation and ate the rice.
It is said that he has no cooking skills, but the soybean paste stew and kimchi fried rice were so delicious that he could open a restaurant.]
‘Well. I lived alone and ate a lot of soybean paste stew and kimchi fried rice.’
If you look at Han Chae-won’s manuscript, things from the past have risen.
It was only after I started working and had some spare time that I added clams while cooking.
Before, I only ate seafood miso sauce in water or stir-fried kimchi and ate it with rice.
It’s a cooking skill that has been completely cultivated from the ground up.
Even though I’m not good at many menus, I had confidence in these two.
Since Han Chae-won was the first girl to come to her own room as a girlfriend, she served me a dish that I was confident in.
‘I did my best. Still, I was very much lacking.’
There was no lingering attachment to Han Chae-won, so it was an opportunity to look back on myself in the past, and I was able to look through the manuscript with interest.
‘I was talking about a boyfriend I dated and compared to me. He said he took them to a hotel restaurant or brunch cafe in Gangnam.’
Even though I didn’t have money from a young age, I lived happily.
Ever since I got to know Han Chae-won, I have experienced tremendous sorrow without money.
[The divorce story came out of Kim Shin’s mouth.
The moment I heard the story, I was stunned.
Are you proud to talk about divorce against me?
I never meant to do it, but if I ever get a divorce, this villa and the car I bought in installments.
I’ll take it all. Let’s see if you can leave me anyway.]
“… … .”
It wasn’t that there weren’t parts that made me angry while reading the manuscript.
Because it was written, it was very refined.
When Han Chae-won opened her ax eyes and screamed at me to give up everything if I was going to get a divorce, I couldn’t do anything except to think that I wanted to escape.
Should I say I’m in complete panic?
‘It was like hell there. I escaped to live somehow.’
When I signed a house contract with the grandmother of the house I lived in before and lay down under the ring.
What can I turn that relief and happiness into?
After a while, I could turn on my computer and check the price of Bitcoin.
‘The story of coin came out a little before that. Married life was so hectic I couldn’t pay attention to coins.’
Looking back, it wasn’t my fault.
Even before marriage, I kept thinking that I wasn’t this woman, but it was the first person I dated, and I couldn’t get away from it even because of my loyalty.
It feels like being sucked into a pit somewhere while proposing with a bouquet of flowers.
Even though I felt that way, I confessed and even got married, so I was a crazy person.
“older brother.”
“yes?”
I raised my head from the manuscript.
Lee Jong-yeop was looking at me curiously.
“Are you reading with great concentration?”
“yes. I’m thinking a lot about my married life with Han Chae-won.”
“What should I do with this manuscript? I will leave it up to you to decide whether or not to publish it.”
“Well… … .”
It contained a lot of my personal life.
Things like working at Arcor or getting married.
I wondered if I should let the public know, but I didn’t think I wanted to hide it.
‘I’m being overrated by the public.’
Just a few investments have been so successful.
The same was true of Earth Resources’ business.
There was nothing special about their own abilities, but they were achieving great success by gathering outstanding people.
To the extent that the modifier that it is the first in the history of Silicon Valley is attached.
‘I’m just an ordinary person too.’
If people take it too seriously, wouldn’t the shock of falling later be great?
To be honest, I didn’t even look at the community’s posts anymore.
It was a great comfort in my low self-esteem days, but I feel like I’m beyond that now.
“If you don’t want to publish this manuscript, what method will you use?”
“We need to ask Han Chae-won to revise the content.”
“What if I make amends?”
“I will ask again. In a way that catches the content or improves the completeness.”
“I’ll take it once or twice. However, due to Han Chae-won’s personality, there would be an uproar.”
I wondered if Han Chae-won would have a seizure.
Even if the day comes when I achieve tremendous success and even the president of the United States notices me. Even then, wouldn’t it be as frightening as Han Chae-won?
“I will pay little by little depending on the situation. It could be tens of thousands of dollars or more.”
“You keep delaying it.”
“If it is not to the extent of using people to put people at risk, there is no way to do it in a legal way.”
I felt a little creepy at the word legal method.
If it’s illegal, it sounds like they’re going to put Han Chae-won in a drum.
For such a task, it was not possible to mobilize Korean gangsters, but to use current bodyguards.
A former military special forces unit, or a member of the intelligence department.
They were under strict security from those who worked in private military companies on the battlefield.
Even if we send only a few people to Korea, we can handle Han Chae-won perfectly.
‘It’s not worth taking that risk.’
He hates Han Chae-won, but not to the point of hurting or killing him.
The U.S. government might be watching me, but it was stupid to make such a huge weakness.
“I have no intention of stopping the publication of the book.”
“Your brother’s private life will be exposed to the public.”
“Most of them will enjoy it, well.”
The public is interested in the private lives of celebrities. However, once you know it, it’s just a temporary curiosity.
You don’t have to stress out over those interests.
To be honest, I really liked some parts of the manuscript.
[The thing I look forward to the most in my married life with Kim Shin is the night.
time in bed.
I’ve met some men, but I never imagined I’d feel this way.
I think I know why women are crazy about men.]

Shin Kim’s move was of great interest to Wall Street fund managers.
“I’m selling a lot of the stocks I bought in March.”
“Stock prices are rising… … .”
“Are you going to stand up to the Fed?”
“maybe. That must mean it.”
Federal Reserve System.
The world judged that it was reckless to confront the US central bank system that issues dollars and determines interest rates.
When the Fed raised interest rates to 6% in 1994, there was a massive capital movement and a crisis in Mexico in 1995.
Due to the great success of speculative capital, the crisis spread through Central and South America and Southeast Asia and reached Korea as well as the IMF.
When interest rates were raised from 1% to 5.25% from 2004 to 2006, the US real estate bubble burst and a financial crisis occurred.
The whole world was plunged into great chaos.
“The Fed is not losing the fight.”
“The term ‘bubble’ is not unfounded. Still, considering the increase in the assets of financial institutions… … .”
“The interest rate is 0%. If you don’t invest now, when will you?”
Manhattan offices and coffee shops were talking about Shin Kim.
“It is also noteworthy that Korean capitalists are taking profits en masse.”
“It’s frightening to see tens of billions of dollars moving around.”
In the United States, several pension funds have been big players in stock investment.
California pension funds are worth over $400 billion, but basically they are long-term investments.
The sight of tens of billions of dollars owned by small investors following Kim Shin moving together was astonishing to Wall Street fund managers.
“Selling volume at Goldman and JPMorgan has increased.”
“Your managers seem to rate the market a little too highly right now.”
Those who worked on Wall Street had great intelligence and judgment.
It was reckless to confront Yeonjun, but I didn’t think Kim Shin had any chance.
This year’s share price rise has historically been unusual.
Kim Shin could be right, but… … Wall Street’s fund managers have sorted out their positions.
“Now is your chance to buy stocks.”
“okay. We should take the stock Kim Shin sells.”
“They said they were disposing of the Tesla.”
“Tesla has had a huge share price rise this year. We can still expect more.”
Wall Street financiers were incentivized to achieve high returns.
A fancy party is going on, but I didn’t try to avoid danger just in case.
In case of a loss, the customer’s money was simply reduced.

Channel 7.
The technical preparation of the earth channel video platform has been completed.
“Vice President, what would you like to do with the advertising plan?”
“Television, newspapers, the Internet. And outdoor advertisements?”
“Yes. It’s about using those kinds of media to advertise.”
Looking at Oh Myung-woo, the publicity department staff swallowed dry saliva.
Finally, the reason for their existence is revealed.
“I don’t do everything.”
“Yes?”
“Put up a small banner on the earth channel. If it is a good service, many people will use it.”
Public Relations staff withdrew with saggy shoulders.
Oh Myung-woo did not want to use Earth Resource’s funds for something useless.
‘There are many places to invest here and there, and I need to acquire a game company, but what about advertising?’
If you spend billions of dollars on marketing, isn’t it a waste of money that melts away like that?
―Oh Myeong-woo: I try not to think in a hurry. Let’s start with the open beta and get people together.
-Kim Shin: Yes. well thought out
His friends always believed in him.
There were times when the title of Vice President Oh Myung-woo felt burdensome.
It may be Earth Resource in its early days, but now it has become one of the leading IT companies in the United States beyond Silicon Valley.
―Oh Myeong-woo: But how do you trust me? There must be a manager or vice president who is better than me.
Oh Myung-woo asked what he had been curious about all along.
What can you trust and entrust earth resources to yourself as a friend?
The online video market alone is worth tens of billions of dollars.
After a while the answer came.
―Kim Shin: Without you, Earth Resources couldn’t even start.
-Myungwoo Oh: Uh… … Not really.
―Kim Shin: There could be a better manager than you. But no one knows better than you the projects started at Earth Resources.
―Oh Myeong-woo: That sounds like the right thing to say.
―Kim Shin: As the company grows, I believe you have grown just like me.
―Kim Shin: If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the company comfortably with anyone else.
“Wow… … .”
Oh Myung-wu’s heart swelled.
Jangsu said he would give his life for those who believed in him, but he did not know that he was so trusted by his friends.
“You’re a friend I can go with for the rest of my life.”
