Coin Jackpot After Divorce

Chapter 30



Artificial Intelligence Vaccine

return of gold.

It means returning home wearing silk clothes.

To be precise, it didn’t work for me.

Most of the money was earned working at Arcor, and it was invested in the United States.

Anyway, I gave a gift certificate to an employee who was always nice to me, and bought a cordless vacuum cleaner for Park Hwa-young as a wedding commemoration.

“Are you planning to start a business after you leave?”

“Chief Kim. Have a warm Americano here.”

It felt like everyone was friendly.

It was a lot of fun talking to the staff on the rooftop.

Chief Ahn said.

“Agent Kim, do you want to shorten the takeover period?”

“Yes?”

“I know exactly what you are working on. Unless you need two more months of salary, you can quit quickly.”

He said that he reported to Director Jeong that I had written my resignation in the morning.

Director Jeong’s reaction at the time was.

“Kim Shin? Did he write his resignation?”

“Yes. Assistant Manager Kim resigned.”

“Why did the company suddenly… … Could it be because of me?”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“I said that we were meeting in the sense of not approaching Han Chae-won in the future.”

It’s completely unrelated, but misunderstandings piled up.

Director Jeong said, “If there is no disruption to the business, it is okay to shorten the takeover period as much as possible.”

Since the beginning of the year, thanks to the long annual leave, Lee Jong-yeop was already in charge of a large part of the work.

“We will complete the takeover within two weeks.”

“Then do it.”

It felt like leaving the old company was happening in an instant, but after all, it had only been five months since I knew Coin.

It felt like the pace of life was very fast.

―Chris: I want to see you at Nicola as soon as possible! Investments range from $10 million up to $200 million.

I heard the news from the United States steadily.

I was continuing to study about US stocks as much as my company work was reduced.

It had $400 million invested in Netflix.

The whole property is about 1.03 billion dollars, so I invested a lot of money. Another reason was that there were not many American stocks in Dali.

―FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Alphabet) skyrocketed!

―Netflix share price rises at an all-time high!

―How did Netflix record its highest performance?

The stock price of Netflix, which belongs to FAANG representing the United States, has risen significantly.

Over the Top (OTT).

It was thanks to the prospect that Netflix’s subscribers would increase significantly and occupy the global broadcasting and film market through the Internet.

In just one week, $400 million turned into $520 million.

Compared to investing in coins, the rate of return is not high, but the investment is large, and the property has increased by $ 120 million.

‘Coins rose entirely due to interest and greed, but stocks are more stable because they are backed by performance.’

I thought that the 98% drop like a coin would not happen.

‘It would be better to diversify your investment with FAANG stocks rather than depositing in a bank.’

He boldly bought American stocks and decided to seek help from Myung-Woo Oh to investigate Nikola.

Just like working at a pharmaceutical company and hearing a lot about the industry, working at Google and just crossing a bridge or two, you know quite a few experts.

―Oh Myeong-woo: I am a busy body.

―Kim Shin: Whenever the latest version of PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo comes out, I will buy it for the rest of my life.

―Oh Myeong-woo: Between friends? Do you think I don’t even have money to buy a console?

―Kim Shin: Add 100 desired game software a year.

―Myungwoo Oh: Brother, thank you for your generous offer.

At dawn, I handled the work of the United States, and in the morning I worked at Arcor.

I ate delicious food with Lee Jong-yeop while going out of the office, and other team members joined in at other times.

“Let’s go to a nearby restaurant.”

“I know this area well.”

I realized this when I left the company.

Lee Jong-yeop’s fine hair while working was much better than mine.

It is said that he passed through expensive houses and restaurants near the hospital and ate delicious food with his law car.

If it had been 5 months ago, I would have been nagging him, but he seemed proud when he quit the company.

“I did well without being caught by manager Ahn.”

“I’m sure Team Leader Ahn knows, too, right?”

“okay?”

“Yes. Manager Kim is FM, right? It’s all about making a living, but if it’s not to the extent of withdrawing cash with a card cracker, it’s a rough pass.”

“… … .”

I came up with an excuse that I was timid because I was poor and didn’t grow up well.

I felt it while traveling in the US.

that life goes on somehow.

You just have to deal with the mistakes you make by thinking less.

When I thought a lot, I couldn’t do anything.

About a week after the takeover started.

I was able to exceed 30% of the hospitals assigned to Lee Jong-yeop.

It was a very fast pace because the area I was in charge of was large.

Hospitals that had not been taken care of for two weeks had low sales and few transactions, so Lee Jong-yeop took care of them.

“It will be a lot of hard work in the future.”

“it’s okay. I don’t work hard like the manager. If you visit the hospital 5 times in 3 hours, is that a person?”

When I was working hard, I tried to visit as many hospitals as possible.

I had to increase my performance even a little more to increase the incentive.

Thanks to that, most of the 1st and 2nd places in the monthly performance evaluation were mine.

“Then how many did you spin?”

“One every three hours is enough.”

“That is too harsh. I don’t even do that.”

“You just need a good excuse. There is no business without excuses. When there are beautiful nurses, we play around a bit.”

“Is it still today? I heard you’re dating Yoo Hye-ri from the support team?”

“it’s okay.”

“Does Hyeri Yoo understand this?”

“If you don’t tell me, you will never know.”

“You’re cheating.”

“Because you don’t know, peace in love comes. It’s a war maniac to tell.”

Is it a vocation to be able to enjoy business like this?

However, the phone call to Ellie, who returned to the United States, did not go through. Every time I texted him, a simple reply came a few hours later.

‘It must be because he’s busy because he’s a new employee.’

I met Leon’s president Yoo Seok-tae again on Tuesday evening.

“Did you confirm the deposit?”

“I did. 20% of our company is now yours.”

Unlisted companies were also able to trade through securities firms.

Additional investment was planned once the new plant started operating smoothly.

“By the way, what do you think of artificial intelligence?”

“Artificial intelligence?”

Silicon Valley invested in Aurora’s autonomous driving. I only knew that technology was getting better and better through deep learning in artificial intelligence.

“Artificial intelligence is also being applied to the development of vaccines and treatments.”

“okay?”

I worked at a pharmaceutical company, but I didn’t know much about development because it was in the field of distribution and sales.

Even when I talked to pharmaceutical company employees who sell medicines, they never talked about vaccines or new drug development.

“Artificial intelligence is said to be a way to find out by analyzing disease genes and applying chemical ingredients suitable for treatment. It is hundreds of times more efficient than humans do.”

“You know quite a bit.”

“It was a business I had invested in so far.”

bio life.

The company was founded by Dr. Lee Ho-yeon, who returned to Korea after graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford.

“There is a team that develops artificial intelligence that analyzes influenza and creates targeted vaccines. If you had money, would you consider investing in this company? I can hand over all my shares if you want.”

“Is there no chance of success?”

“no. I do not know. If you invest consistently, you may have a chance. You know, I’m short of money.”

“I will try to refer to it.”

I made a lot of money with coins and stocks, but I thought I would invest only when there was some possibility.

And the next day, Dr. Lee Ho-yeon contacted me and met him.

Age mid 40’s.

Since I graduated from Stanford University, I thought of images of Silicon Valley nerds, but I didn’t.

It’s like a skinny skeleton.

Despite his small body, his eyes were intense, like someone who had starved for several days.

“Do you know why I am trying to develop an influenza vaccine using artificial intelligence? You may remember bird flu, swine flu, SARS, or MERS.”

“yes. I know.”

It was a disease that adorned domestic news with excitement every time it broke out.

“New respiratory infectious diseases appear periodically in Asia. influenza. The so-called flu and coronavirus are more than 80% identical. When such a respiratory infectious disease appears, genetic analysis and testing of compounds using artificial intelligence, not by humans, can drastically shorten the period of vaccine and treatment development.”

“I guess so.”

Influenza and corona virus.

Influenza is a common cold that causes high fever, but it is called the flu and the symptoms are very strong.

If not properly treated, there were even people who lost their lives due to complications such as pneumonia.

It is so severe that tens of thousands to millions of people die every year around the world.

Coronaviruses cause respiratory and digestive infections, and have spread widely among animals as well as humans.

The types of corona that people and animals take are different, but when the corona that animals have is mutated and starts to spread, it spreads serious sequelae.

SARS and MERS are also types of coronavirus.

“When the Spanish flu broke out, more than 40 million people died. In an era where people are actively interacting like now, the emergence of a powerful virus will drive the entire world into a pandemic. I want to stop it when it happens.”

“… … .”

Silicon Valley’s founders had brilliant brains and insights.

It seems stupid, but if you know it, you’re a genius?

Perhaps because of his talent, he is relaxed and full of confidence.

Dr. Lee Ho-yeon was different from that type.

It contained the will to risk one’s life.

‘It’s a pandemic… … .’

It reminded me of a movie I saw a while ago.

The movie will never become a reality.

“How much money do you want to invest?”

“We need 2 billion every year. However, for smooth research and development, the more investment, the better. Development is being delayed because of the tight budget.”

“Then let’s consider it.”

After meeting Lee Ho-yeon, I came home. And I threw a question into the group chat room where founders of Silicon Valley are connected.

―Kim Shin: Does anyone know about Lee Ho-yeon? He graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford.

―Chris: I know. I’ve never seen it myself, but I’ve heard from professors.

―Chris: They said he was a genius enough to publish a thesis in an academic journal during his sophomore year. The professor read it and said he was very impressed.

―Gerald: I’ve never met him in person. Most likely you’ve never seen it. Because I only lived in the library and research lab.

―Lennon: After graduating from graduate school, I heard you went back to Johns Hopkins for medicine.

-Kim Shin: Are you a doctor?

-Lennon: Yes. You must have a medical license.

He seems to be something great.

Influenza artificial intelligence, vaccines and more.

I posted the story I heard in the group chat room.

―Chris: It’s a great research project, but I don’t know if it will be commercially viable.

-Kim Shin: Yes?

―Chris: Hoyeon Lee is mostly right. Existing vaccine development takes a long time. 8,000 attempts and one succeeds. It takes 8 to 15 years to get FDA approval and market it. It’s that hard.

―Chris: Creating a targeted vaccine for the newly circulating influenza. Because speed matters, it makes sense to use artificial intelligence.

―Chris: If artificial intelligence works properly, the duration and success rate can be dramatically increased.

―Kim Shin: If it works properly.

-Chris: Yes. It always matters. Stability is important for flu vaccines, so they won’t be able to break through the existing large pharmaceutical companies.

―Lennon: Anticancer drugs or diabetes. These diseases don’t make money.

Drugs that make money were held tightly by global pharmaceutical companies.

―Katia: In my opinion.

Katia was Aurora’s lead AI developer. At a young age, he only did research and development in plain clothes.

―Katia: I think it will be useful when a widespread epidemic crisis comes. If there is a risk of a new strain of influenza or a coronavirus to which people have no immunity.

―Katia: But even if there is an epidemic, people do not need vaccines or medicines. The stability test alone will take years.

―Katia: Existing medicines or treatments may even work for a new disease.

-Chris: That’s right. There have been many such cases. Rather than making a better cure, it’s quick to use an existing, proven one even if it’s less effective.

―Katia: I think research that doesn’t pay well is right. The emergence of a new infectious disease, it must be highly infective, and people must not develop resistance. Existing medicines should not be effective.

―Katia: People avoid vaccines. It can take years to get government certification.

―Katia: Even if the result is made, it will cost a lot of money and time to conduct clinical trials to even check whether the result is correct. It’s a really vague study.

How great is collective intelligence.

It was difficult to borrow this kind of wisdom if Silicon Valley pretended to be a venture capitalist and judged everything.

I didn’t know anything, so I tried to learn at least one more thing, and this kind of group chat room was created because I listened carefully.

Sometimes, sometimes often, they talked about things that were hard to understand among themselves.

‘It’s a difficult study to make money.’

I couldn’t invest in a field where there was no possibility.
