Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 150

I have had this question for a long time.

What is the essence of this ability?

And why did I have this ability?

I haven’t found an answer to that yet.

Thanks to foreknowledge, I was able to save my life and make money. Because of this, he believed that foreknowledge would lead to the right future.

So what about Ronald?

Was it really better for the future if Ronald, not Diane, became president?

Ronald said, tilting his glass.

“I love America more than anyone. America is the land of opportunity.”

Like most Americans, he was descended from immigrants. His grandfather, William Stamper, came from Ireland, and his grandmother from Scotland to the Americas.

William Stamper made his fortune in the real estate business, which he later passed on to his son, who in turn passed the business to his son.

Ronald and Park Si-hyeong are both business presidents, but there is a big difference.

Park Si-hyeong was a salary boss, but Ronald is the CEO and owner of a business named after him.

Unlike Park Si-hyung, who started from the ground up, Ronald’s success had a background in a family of gold spoons. Even so, it was his ability to build dozens of top-of-the-line ‘Stamper Towers’ throughout the United States.

He had great success in the real estate business. However, after a stock market crash and a real estate recession, he suffered several major failures.

However, when the recession ended and the boom began, the real estate market turned to recovery, and Stamper Corporation grew rapidly.

He was good at show business.

He knew better than anyone how he had to be liked by the public and how he was interested in him.

In the 2000s, he entered the broadcasting industry and created the ‘Ronald Show’ after him. The TV show, featuring Ronald as the main character, was an invitational hit, attracting more than 20 million viewers, despite several concerns.

Other things worked out as well. His fame made his real estate business better, and he continued to expand his business with the Stamper brand.

He didn’t stop there, he got into politics.

He was a presidential nominee or a senator. He has no political experience and has decided to become president.

At first everyone laughed. He thought it was just a joke to gain fame. However, he defied everyone’s expectations and became President of the United States of America.

Ronald put down his drink and looked at me.

He said, “Did I say you were sure I was going to be president?”

“Yes.”

“I have a question for you.”

“What?”

Ronald paused for a moment and then asked a question.

“Can I be a good president?”

With that question, I could understand why they called me this night.

American workers supported Ronald because they wanted change. In fact, after Ronald became president, not only the United States, but the world was undergoing great changes.

The United States exercises enormous powers over the world and has responsibilities accordingly. No country on the planet, whether military, economic or cultural, can escape the influence of the United States.

Ronald thought America’s sacrifice for the world was too great. So he advocated America first. It is to put the interests of the United States above all else.

Requests for increased defense share for NATO and USFK, withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, protectionism, anti-immigration policies, etc.

But even Americans were skeptical as to whether that was really a policy for America.

The White House and Congress continue to be at odds, and even the Republican mainstream and supporters have turned their backs on them, struggling with low approval ratings despite their early days in office.

Domestically, it suffered from various scandals, including the so-called “Russia scandal,” which claimed that Russia intervened in the US presidential election.

It is truly an enemy on all sides.

Although they are pushing forward with enthusiasm and militancy as in business, controversies continue to erupt here and there, and things have not progressed well.

No matter how Ronald is, he can’t help but be tired. Because of my age, my stamina won’t be the same as before.

Will he be re-elected as a successful president, or will he leave politics as if he were kicked out as a failed president?

I thought carefully. This is an important issue for me as well.

Why was it Ronald and not Diane?

If Ronald becomes a failed president, neither can I escape responsibility.

Ronald was elected over Diane because I supported him, and the reason I supported him is because I saw intelligence.

So, did Yeji choose Ronald?

If I’m right, there must be a reason he should have been president.

“He will be a great president.”

“Right.”

Is it because I heard what I wanted to hear?

Ronald’s expression softened. He looked at the bottle.

“Would you like another drink?”

“of course.”

The Korea-US summit was an important issue at home and abroad.

Despite Park Si-hyeong’s efforts, Ronald clearly expressed his intention to raise the USFK garrison fee and revise the Korea-US FTA. This included sensitive issues such as designation of a currency manipulation watchdog.

All of these things are unwelcome in our country. Even in the conservative media, there are articles about the diplomatic failure of the Park Si-hyeong government.

President Ronald’s last itinerary was a visit to the Memorial Hall. And before that, a meeting with Korean businessmen was scheduled at the Diamond Hall of the Grand Paros Hotel.

Taehyung shook his head and said.

“I’m not going.”

“Why?”

“Are the reporters coming? I don’t want to sell my face.”

During the press conference, my face was already sold as soon as it was sold, while Taek-gyu’s face was hardly known. So he even got the nickname of the hermit otaku.

I don’t know what’s the difference between this and hikikomori… … .

Anyway, no matter how good a seat is, it’s okay if you don’t want to go.

I respected Taek-gyu’s wishes and informed Ronald of his absence in advance and asked for his understanding.

From early in the morning, the cars of the presidents headed to Namsan one after another. The guards around the hall were guarding the hall.

Checkpoints were conducted similar to when boarding an airplane.

There was no exception for the attendees as well as reporters.

After being checked, I entered the hall. While I was talking with someone, Chairman Im Jin-yong saw me and approached me right away.

“It’s been a while, mate.”

“Nice to meet you, senior.”

I greeted him.

Chairman Im Jin-yong introduced the person next to him.

“This is Leete Group Vice Chairman Dongmin Jin.”

Then, the man who had been talking with Chairman Im Jin-yong until recently greeted me.

“nice to meet you. This is Jin Dong-min.”

“Good morning. This is Jinhoo Kang.”

He appears to be in his late 40s, but he is actually in his early 60s. Perhaps because he was a Korean-Japanese, his pronunciation was a bit sloppy.

After Chairman Jin Kyung-ho collapsed from a stroke, his older brother Jin-soo and his younger brother Jin-min Min fought over control of the Rite group.

In the end, Jin Dong-min, who led Rite Korea, won the extraordinary general meeting and took control of the group. To the extent that Chairman Jin Kyung-ho’s return to management was impossible, his name was only the vice-president, and in fact, he was no different from the chairman.

For reference, the Ritte Group is known to have a deep relationship with President Park Si-hyeong along with the Eunsung Cha Group. Thanks to this, he was able to receive various privileges such as a duty-free shop license and construction of a large shopping mall.

Dozens of people had already gathered in the hall. Most of them were elderly, and even young people were over 40.

Chairman Im Jin-yong also belonged to the very young axis here. Of course, I am the only one in my 20s.

An old man with pure white hair and clear wrinkles on his forehead came up to me.

“Here, you will meet Jinhoo Kang, CEO of OTK Company. nice to meet you. This is Han Min-goo.”

I’ve seen it on TV a lot, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in person.

This old man is the chairman of the Eunsung Cha Group, the second largest in the business world.

I grabbed his outstretched hand.

“This is Jinhoo Kang.”

Chairman Han Min-koo burst out laughing.

“Haha, I’ve had a lot of relationships over the years, and I’m finally seeing it.”

It’s more of a bad relationship than a relationship.

I said with a smile.

“Iknow, right. I really wanted to see you too.”

Chairman Han Min-koo looked at me with a charismatic look. He wasn’t that big, but somehow he felt a strong sense of pressure.

He is a living witness of Korean economic history. The experience, know-how, and connections I have built up from all walks of life and social influence are incomparable to mine.

After saying hello, he found my pre-arranged seat and sat down.

“The President is coming.”

The people who were sitting in the hall rose from their seats at once. Then President Ronald appeared.

Ronald shook hands with the corporate presidents one by one. There were people I met the other day when Ronald was a businessman. It may have been a meeting between businessmen and businessmen back then, but now it is a meeting between presidents and businessmen.

And finally my turn came.

Since yesterday’s meeting took place in secret, today is officially the first meeting since the inauguration ceremony.

“Long time no see, President. This is Jinhoo Kang from OTK Company.”

“Hello! My friend!”

Ronald took my hand and hugged me with the other, showing a strong intimacy.

I am so close to the US president.

I hope that conservative groups will see this and refrain from protesting in front of the OTK Company headquarters.

Why are there so many unlicensed protests?

After saying goodbye, everyone sat down. Ronald put the in-ears in his ears and took the microphone in his hand.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Simultaneous interpretation is delivered through the in-ear when you speak. Those who were not fluent in English put in-ears in their ears, and the rest just listened.

Ronald spoke softly first.

“You must be busy, but thank you to the Korean business people who gathered here.”

But as soon as the greeting was finished, severe rebuke followed.

“Korean companies are having tremendous success in the United States. Every year, steel, automobiles, home appliances, semiconductors, etc. produced in Korea are shipped to the United States and returned to Korea with dollars instead.”

Everyone was called to the principal’s office and looked like bad students who were scolded by the principal. Compared to them, I was an excellent student who came to be praised.

Who else invests in America as hard as I do?

Ronald’s voice grew louder.

“The American manufacturing industry is shutting down due to the unfair behavior of Korean companies, and unemployment is pouring in. Why don’t you make money in the US market, and don’t build factories in the US and hire Americans? why?”

The pressure on investment in the US came like a tsunami.

It made sense, so it was a meeting with businessmen, in fact, it was a place to gather Korean business people and force them to invest in the United States.

I’m not a gangster who gathers some market merchants and rips off their seats… … .

I wish I could do this, but if you are the President of the United States, this is okay. Originally, international order is like the gangster world, so when a powerful person tells you, you have no choice but to follow it.

It is self-evident that if you do not listen and endure until the end, you will be penalized. Therefore, it seems that everyone has been prepared to be robbed to some extent since they came here.

As Ronald handed over the microphone, the presidents unanimously opened the package they had prepared.

I will build a factory in the US, increase investment, hire more manpower for R&D centers, purchase more US parts, do better in the US anyway, etc.

Chairman Im Jin-yong emphasized that Suseong Group is building a battery plant in Indiana together with OTK Company, and announced that it would create a fund at the group level and invest in US partners.

Combining all the stories that have been said so far, it was more than double the amount of Korean companies’ investment in the US over the past five years.

They did not immediately sign a contract or sign an MOU, but the people who spoke were the presidents of large corporations, and the people who listened were the president of the United States.

Unless you’re going to close your business in the US, you won’t be able to break the word once spoken.

Ronald, who then raised his eyebrows a little, clapped his hands and said.

“Okay then, let’s eat and talk about the rest. To all of you who will invest for the United States, we are serving it with the tax of the American people, so please do not feel burdened and eat as much as you like.”

It was a stressful remark.

Everyone’s faces were full of pressure. It’s like the two of you are eating and one doesn’t even know what to eat.

A soup made from American corn and a steak made from prime-grade American beef were served one after the other.

Everyone enjoyed the meal with a forced smile on their face.

Ronald asked with a smile.

“It is a steak made from healthy cows raised by American farmers. How does it taste?”

What is the promotion of savory American beef?

By the way, the revision requirements of the Korea-US FTA also include an increase in imports of agricultural and livestock products from the United States.

The presidents praised it as delicious with Lee Gu-dong.

Why can’t everyone say they like Korean beef?
