〈U.S., New York Stock Exchange Closed Down. Highest consumer price increase in 10 years
〈The Fed Pigeon Effect Disappeared. Stock market decline despite interest rate freeze
〈Powell, “There is a bubble in the asset market. We will not raise interest rates in advance out of fear of inflation.”>
〈U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen, who changed his words, “high inflation until the end of this year.”>
〈Wall Street Banks, “Inflation Concerns Growing.”]
At the end of last year, there was a remark by Kim Shin in front of Biden.
White House officials spoke briefly about him.
“It is speculated that the remark was made to highlight his presence as a super-rich man who earned a lot of money.”
“I am an investor. It would be to actively spread investment positions that are advantageous to you.”
“It’s inconvenient, but given its popularity, there’s no need to be hostile.”
The policy of the Biden administration was to wait and see, and it was necessary to maintain an amicable relationship even for the sake of the vaccine policy.
In the unlikely event that K-vaccine is not supplied, a huge problem could arise for the newly launched administration.
However, there were signs that the inflation, which was thought to be nothing but Kim Shin’s fault, was about to rise.
“What happened?”
“It seems that the excessive liquidity that has been supplied has become a problem.”
White House officials spoke with the Treasury Department, which handles the US economy.
The Treasury Department was also taken aback by the high inflation rate.
“It seems that economic activity will resume on the liquidity that has been released since the financial crisis, and prices will rise at once.”
“The president’s investment in infrastructure cannot be stopped.”
“For now, let’s wait and see.”
However, the economic situation unfolding in June was enough to freak out the White House.
〈57% of US investors expect inflation to accelerate〉
〈Inflation shock that has not risen〉
〈A day in New York hotel accommodation costs more than $700〉
〈$3,000 for a family of four from the East Coast to the West Coast〉
〈U.S., used car prices skyrocket by 45.2%〉
The numbers representing inflation were higher than we’ve ever seen before.
Consumption is the core of the US economy, and rising prices have put pressure on the government, businesses and households.
“In the second quarter, household debt is likely to rise by more than $300 billion.”
“What about employment?”
“Employment rates are high, but the delta mutation is spreading.”
Biden’s White House officials were all about bad news.

To be honest, I didn’t expect inflation to be this great.
‘It’s not like I have any professional economic knowledge.’
I made several successful investments.
Because of his positive or not conceited personality, he was wary when he saw that the stock price had risen too much.
Business activities haven’t improved in particular, because there are so many stocks that have risen tenfold in price over the course of a year.
I felt strongly that it was a bubble, and I was more wary of fearless politicians and bureaucrats.
That’s why I said that the bubble might burst… … I regretted it over time.
‘Is the US economy strong?’
The employment rate is high, and businesses continue to operate.
The Fed’s influence was controlling central banks around the world.
I secretly thought I might be wrong.
―Ellie: Wall Street investment banks froze at the price index this time.
―Elly: I can feel it while living my life. The cost of eating out in New York suddenly went up by 20 or 30 percent. I didn’t know that the inflation I learned while studying the economy would appear like this.
Ellie, whom I call occasionally for work.
She relayed the situation on Wall Street.
―Ellie: Congratulations. Investor A is writing a legend again.
It was around the end of March.
My thoughts as the stock price has continued to rise since the end of last year.
‘The coin also went up to the end.’
People’s greed bubbles up and lasts a little longer.
He even pulled in the last person to the point where the word “human indicator” came out.
If you don’t invest, you feel like you’re falling behind, and you feel like you have to seize the chance to get rich somehow.
‘I might lose this investment.’
Investing $40 billion in companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Buying stocks of companies was meant to make profits during the upswing, but more so to feel the sensation.
After investing in the New York stock market, I wanted to find out the peak of the bubble.
‘If I lose money, that’s it, and if I make a profit, I’ll be able to make an extremely risky investment with the funds.’
At the beginning of last year, when stock prices plummeted, it was a good investment opportunity.
Conversely, great investment opportunities can arise even when stock prices have risen too much.
―Elly: We are seeing a profit of 13 billion dollars now.
-Kim Shin: Yes. I see
-Ellie: Yes. That’s right. How big is 13 billion dollars?
-Kim Shin: I know. Big money.
In terms of monthly salary, it still feels big when it exceeds 5 million won, but 100 million dollars somehow feels easy.
Even if the unit is much larger, I compared it with all the properties I have and belonged to the concept of investment.
〈Kim Shin warned of inflation in advance〉
〈The Hand of Midas Recognized by Wall Street〉
〈Goldman Sachs, “Since the end of last year when Kim Shin’s warning came out, we have been studying inflation as an important factor.”]
〈The most successful businessmen in America in the 21st century are Elon Musk and Shin Kim〉
〈The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, closely follows Kim Shin〉
〈Tesla’s Innovation vs. Earth Resource’s Market Dominance〉
〈Kim Shin became a global celebrity with the success of Earth Channel〉
〈Recognition in Europe, Kim Shin is ahead of Elon Musk〉
The media was constantly comparing Elon Musk and me.
They had a lot of wealth and entrepreneurship in common.
‘Tesla has overcome many difficulties to achieve the current success, but Earth Resources has never experienced such difficulties.’
The idea of Elon Musk was still a person with many merits.
He had a lot to learn, and he deserves respect for actively pursuing his dreams.
The company he founded, Space X, was leading the progress of mankind by conducting private space travel, star link, and lunar exploration projects.
but… … .
〈Dogecoin’s Total Assets Exceed $50 Billion〉
〈Dogecoin more expensive than GM〉
A coin that was nothing more than an internet meme has surpassed $50 billion in assets thanks to a few tweets from Elon Musk.
‘Can you say Elon is worth more than $100 million for just one spelling on Twitter?’
I could see how great Elon Musk’s popularity was.

―Joshua: I have a holiday next week. I can take 5 days off if I use my annual leave, so I want to rest well at home.
―Kim Shin: Can’t you come to America?
―Joshua: Can I really go? You are busy with work.
―Kim Shin: No matter how busy you are, there is time for a date. I’m sorry to have come so far.
―Joshua: I can go whenever I want.
Joshua’s vacation schedule was set for the end of June.
‘It feels like being in a relationship and lying.’
It wasn’t the type of lie you cheated on while dating another woman.
To be honest, I wasn’t as busy as people thought.
“Cloud system update finished! By applying AI to resource distribution, regional optimization will be carried out from time to time.”
“yes. You’ve been through a lot.”
Leave the programming to Eddie.
“Game companies are very excited. Last Survivor was a smash hit, and Raising High School Girls sold over $100 million in one week? Earth Channel took 20 times the development cost!”
Oh Myung-woo divided the work between programming and employees, and took on the game part after work.
Even if you tell me to take a break because I am addicted to work, I would say participating in game development is a hobby.
He said that instead of going on a date with a girl, he was actively enjoying the update, so he couldn’t stop it.
―Joshua: I’ll catch a plane right after I get off work on Friday. I don’t know if there will be a plane ticket because it’s a sudden reservation.
-Kim Shin: Yes. I will definitely be there in time for the airport after work.
When I made a lot of money with coins and traveled around the world, I spent a lot of time at the airport.
At the time, I used low-cost airlines, and there were often delays or cancellations.
I couldn’t live on that much money even now.
It’s flight time, you can make it here as much as you like.
“Jong-yeop, Mr. Su-ah, find a plane ticket in time for work.”
“yep. older brother.”
“If there are no planes, make them.”
“All right.”
If necessary, you can fly a dedicated plane for Jo Soo-ah.
how much do you do that… … .
I save money on my canned coffee, but I was willing to send a private jet for my girlfriend.
* * *
While staying in Korea, Jo Soo-ah was looking forward to the weekend when she could meet Kim Shin. On the one hand, it was a strange feeling.
〈Dream Art Rainbow starts filming the movie ‘God of Investment’>
〈Total production cost of over 100 million dollars for a film depicting Kim Shin’s life story〉
A senior at work, and a man who used to have a crush on him, has tremendous success.
While in Korea, I always heard news about my boyfriend through the news.
“Sua, you should meet a good man and get married. How long are you going to live like that?”
“Sorry. Mom.”
Parents in Busan were in a frenzy about dating.
Since the last blind date, a doctor named Choi Won-seok has been in constant contact with me.
I kept the fact that I was dating Kim Shin a secret from my parents as well as from my co-workers at Arcor.
It was because of the thought that Kim Shin could be harmed.
Finally, on the weekend, I took a plane from Incheon Airport and arrived in San Francisco.
It was the first time she had been to San Francisco, and it was around the time she passed through the immigration gate looking around.
“Here!”
Kim Shin was waiting for me at the airport.
It was 2pm in San Francisco.
I wore sunglasses and a mask, but I came out and waited for her at a time when there were a lot of people.
“brother!”
Jo Soo-ah ran to Kim Shin and hugged her warmly.
* * *
“This is Oh Myung-woo.”
“My name is Jo Soo-ah.”
“Wow. You are a real beauty God saw him at the wedding hall… … . Hmmm. This is a mistake.”
In the evening, I had a meal with Oh Myeong-woo and Lee Jong-yeop at home.
Bright and friendly atmosphere.
It gave me a feeling of unity for the first time since I didn’t have a proper family.
‘What would it be like if I married and lived with Jo Soo-ah?’
Although I had been married once, it seemed that I would feel differently from Jo Soo-ah.
If you were already thinking about getting married, it felt like the pace was fast.
‘It’s hard to live in Korea, but I’ll have to live in America. Will it be all right?’
She had already made plans to give birth to two children in San Francisco and send them to preschool.
It was when Joshua and I were drinking wine alone in the garden after dinner.
Tiri-ri-ri-ri!
Joshua’s cell phone rang.
“yes. Yeah? I’m sorry, but please don’t contact me.”
She answered the phone and hung up.
“What’s up?”
“Well… … It’s a little difficult to say.”
“Are you having a hard time talking?”
“It’s not like that. Actually.”
Joshua explained.
The man who went on a blind date with the torch of his parents is constantly contacting him.
After blocking that person’s number, they say that they receive calls from acquaintances in Busan or from other cell phone numbers.
“Did something like that happen?”
Tiri-ri-ri-ri!
Joshua’s cell phone rang again.
“Is that the person from a moment ago?”
“yes. I think it fits.”
“Can I take it?”
As Jo Soo-ah’s boyfriend, I thought it was a problem that I had to solve.
Judgment that if you tell the fact that you have a boyfriend, you will quietly leave.
“yes.”
Jo Soo-ah handed over the cell phone, and I received it.
“hello.”
—… … what. what kind of kid are you
“Are you my brother?”
