Chapter 121
absolute sense
The key to investing was a sense of balance and patience.
Put money, eat money.
“Kim Shin, look closely. What kind of person is your father?”
As a child, my father took me three or four times a week to play Go-Stop.
A small room in a building store that sells construction materials.
In a place where cigarette smoke piled up in the room, my father and the men who transported trucks or worked in construction were playing cards.
My father was very good at go-stops.
After playing it a few times, he quickly took control of the board and was excited.
“Seven points for fatigue. What are you doing. I will stop eating this. Of course I have to go back!”
While playing with toys in the corner, I felt great for my father sweeping the hanafuda on the floor.
The other men shook their heads as if they were not going to be beaten.
“Add 3 points with light. Both of them go mad? can’t stop let’s go To Go!”
A plate of 100 won per point.
Because my father is so good at playing the Go-Stop, he wears the phrase 100,000 won per day every day.
“Kim Shin, Dad always earns 100,000 won if he sits down and plays. A day when you don’t earn 100,000 won is a loss. deficit.”
The time when I accepted my father’s words without question.
When the men ordered delivery food to a Chinese restaurant, they could get jajangmyeon. Time passed quickly when I played with the other children who came to the Hwatu board.
“Isn’t there something flying over there? Then let’s go!”
“Oh, God, Dad. It’s no joke today.”
“When have I ever had a bad day? Go-Stop is played like this.”
My father was good at go-stops, but he didn’t win money every time.
When I scored early, I shouted Go because I wanted to eat big.
“Father, it would be better to stop soon.”
“Nope. that’s stupid I have to go now All you have to do is make a choice!”
I learned that money is not mine the moment I follow my father and become greedy.
Luck didn’t always follow.
I also had to be careful about losing people.
There was a time when my father got into a fight with people playing Go-Stop and was banned from entering.
‘If you don’t stop when you stop, it’s not my money.’
My father was greedy for money and addicted to the thrill of gambling.
One day when he won a lot of money with Go-Stop, he carried me on his back and boasted.
“God, my father is such a person. If you put your mind to it, everything is fine!”
My father hit the go-stop really well.
To my young eyes, just seeing my father playing cards seemed like magic.
* * *
‘The jajangmyeon I ate as a child was really delicious.’
As time passed, I thought of my late father from time to time.
By the standards of the world, he doesn’t have a proper job and is addicted to gambling, but he still has a warm and broad back.
‘It would have been nice if you only knew the word ‘moderately.’

〈The Federal Reserve, which is active in stimulating the economy, takes out a card to buy long-term bonds〉
During my stay in New York, the stock market was steadily rising.
Changes in the political environment, low inflation prospects, etc.
Several circumstances have given confidence to the economy in 2021.
-kyung! Bitcoin hits an all-time high. axis!
– go up Up.
―You have to earn money at this time. Aren’t there black cows who want to work hard to collect dust?
―When will Source Coin exceed $30?
―January expected haha Maybe sooner.
―If Channel 7 succeeds, it might go for $100.
―Why does Source Coin rise when Channel 7 succeeds?
-I don’t know. I’ll go up at once is not it?
The coin bulletin board was also roaring.
Coin transactions supported by Earth Resources have more than doubled every month.
Even though it is not a business, the number of users continues to increase after the Earth channel is opened.
―Other exchanges are unreliable.
―There is a reason for places with low fees. Earth resources that guarantee safe transactions for a reasonable fee are better.
―It is basic to invest all your assets in a large company.
What can I say when I see Earth Resources being recognized as a major IT company.
I was so full that I didn’t even need to eat.

〈Wall Street Investors Expect Dow to Break 35,000 Points in 2021〉
〈Electric vehicle stocks rise amid Tesla surge, large technology stocks decline slightly〉
〈Investors who sold along with Kim Shin, unable to profit from rising stock prices〉
As the New York stock market rose, the words I said in front of Biden-elect came like a boomerang.
Still, it didn’t shake.
‘Let’s believe in ourselves.’
The stock market has risen excessively this year.
Everyone falls into greed, and there is a saying that comes out when making money.
“stock? You only earn by cheating. If you can’t earn it now, you’re an idiot.”
“Coins are supposed to go up. how do you climb Because it goes up unconditionally!”
Koreans in their 20s and 30s lacked assets, so they invested even their souls.
In order not to become a beggar by doing nothing.
‘Should Korea be a national indicator? If you look at Korea, you can know the global economy.’
Korea’s manufacturing industry is developing, but its financial industry is lagging behind.
Nonetheless, the mindset of individual investors was similar to that of hedge fund managers actively pursuing profits.
‘If you look at Korean investors, there are definitely signs that the economy is overheating.’
Is it the feeling that Korea is leading the global economy in finance?
Maybe it’s because of the media’s instigation.

Lee Jong-yeop was handling a lot of work.
The stocks owned by Kim Shin are promoted for block deals with institutional investors.
As a bonus, he was in a position to purchase high-rise buildings in New York and invest in sports clubs.
Considering the synergistic effect, something that needs to be handled in cooperation with Earth Resources.
―Lee Jong-yeop: It is necessary for the CEO to proceed with his work. Those who can travel, please come to New York.
Lee Jong-yeop sent a group text message to the secretary’s office, although he’s sorry it’s Friday.
―Melissa: I will leave right away tomorrow morning.
I called at 3:00 PM, but the answer came back that we were leaving on Saturday morning.
‘Thank you.’
I felt that the American employees were more sincere than Arcor. Of course, the salary is that high, but only workaholics are gathered.
―Nina: I’ll catch the 7 o’clock flight. It’s a 3 hour flight. Considering the time difference, I arrive at midnight. Can I contact you then?
-Lee Jong-yeop: Ah. Yes. I will get you another room at the hotel where you are staying.
―Dana: It’s in San Francisco. I’ll catch the 5 o’clock flight.
The secretarial staff all arrived in New York in less than 12 hours.
“We need to acquire sports clubs in the US and Europe. In tennis or golf, we will also sponsor individual players.”
“I know. I will move right away.”
“We also need reports on the US economic situation and unlisted companies. The purpose is to secure data for the CEO’s investment.”
“I will work with people in related industries and consulting companies.”
Lee Jong-yeop was comfortable at work.
The secretariat staff consisted of 6 males and 13 females.
We select those with experience in the industry and top graduates from prestigious universities.
‘If you tell me anything, I’ll do it.’
If Lee Jong-yeop said what he couldn’t do if he played, he somehow got results.

Han Chae-won received a call from the person in charge of Random Flower Publishing.
―I liked the manuscript you sent me this time.
“really?”
-yes. I’m going to publish it as soon as possible with a simple translation and proofreading. Is it okay to publish simultaneously in the US, Europe and Korea?
“Sure. Anything.”
She nodded as she called.
Arcor’s office.
The other employees looked at me strangely, but I didn’t even have time to think about it.
How many people in America became rich by publishing books?
―The first edition is expected to print 2.5 million copies.
“2.5 million copies?”
―We did a preliminary research on our side, and it is estimated that about 2.5 million copies will be digested in the first week.
“Will it really sell that much?”
– Enough. A memoir written by President Trump’s nephew sold 950,000 copies on the first day. Considering Kim Shin’s popularity, it seems that it will not be difficult to sell within a week. We have orders from European publishers, so we’ll print more books when inventory drops below 1 million copies.
“Oh my gosh.”
Han Chae-won looked like she was about to fly while holding the phone.
For each book sold, it earns approximately $1.40.
If it printed 2.5 million copies, it immediately generated an income of $3.5 million.
Over 4 billion dollars at current exchange rates.
‘All the worst poverty is the end.’
I suffered while writing the manuscript, but I felt it was worthwhile enough.
The time has come to change everything in your life.
‘I have to sell more than 10 million copies as a book and appear on American broadcasts based on popularity. I’ll get hundreds of thousands of dollars for every interview.’
I was envious of women who were born into rich families and live in expensive apartments, fancy cars, and pretty clothes.
Now she could have that life.
‘Wouldn’t it be nice to advance to YouTube after gaining popularity? You can broadcast on Earth Channel. You’re living the life of a famous celebrity. I’m going to get everything with my own power.’
I turned the hope circuit, but it seemed that nothing could stop this happiness.
Kim Shin’s popularity will not disappear overnight, and the books of her ex-wife will interest many women.
―The royalties of 2.5 million copies will be deposited today.
“So fast? Thank you. Thank you very much.”
Han Chae-won hung up the phone with the person in charge of Random Flower thinking that it was not an American publisher for nothing.
My fingers trembled, and my whole body trembled like electricity.
‘I did it on my own. If the royalties come in today, I’ll be rich too.’
I sat in my office chair and watched the employees work in a daze.
“Sooah Jo received an order for three surgical machines this time.”
“As expected, Mr. Jo Soo-ah is no joke. Performance does not decrease even in times like these.”
“We need to hire someone to support Changwon’s software.”
“Me! I will go.”
They were employees who worked hard at the company with incentives of 300,000 and 500,000 won every month.
Han Chae-won felt sorry for the staff working in the office.
‘If I quit the company, I’ll never see you again.’
He had no lingering feelings for his subordinates.
I couldn’t get my hands on work, and I just spent time in a daze.
‘When will the deposit be due? The finance team said they would make a deposit. Will Americans do things quickly?’
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I received a text message informing me of the deposit.
[Deposit 3,500,000 $

“Turn it off.”
Han Chae-won folded herself in a chair and sobbed.
I was so happy that I burst into tears. Then, when he calmed down, he got up from his desk, grabbed his phone and wallet.
“Please go to Cheongdam-dong.”
After taking a taxi, she headed to luxury shops in Cheongdam-dong.
The salary is not much, but for today, the card limit has been increased generously.
Han Chae-won opened the door of the luxury shop and entered confidently.
