Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 31

Upon hearing the announcement of acceptance (?), senior Sangyeop sighed with a relieved expression.

“Sigh. I’ll take a breather now. Actually, I was pretty nervous.”

“Then relax and drink to your heart’s content.”

I filled the empty glass.

Sangyeop, who drank beer like a thirsty person, asked.

“How about a name? CEO? CEO? Shall I use respect from now on?”

I laughed bitterly.

“Just call me what you call me. I will think about it later when I get an official title and more employees.”

“Who is at OTK Company now? Maybe just the two of you?”

I shook my head.

“There is one more.”

“who?”

Taegyu said.

“Oh Hyun-joo is my older sister.”

I am currently working at Golden Gate Asia office, and I added that I was able to receive help in various ways, including establishing a corporation.

Senior Sangyeop nodded his head as if he understood now.

“So you can do such a great thing.”

Hyunjoo noona joined after work was done. However, we decided to discuss the details later.

“What are your plans for the future?”

“I will speak slowly. Let’s have a drink today.”

We moved and headed to a nearby carriage. And I ordered dry snacks and soju.

I asked, pouring soju.

“How was school work? I think I would have done better if I was a senior.”

“He was a popular instructor. Because I taught a child who can only do arithmetic and got me 7 or 80 points. She said she was quitting, so the manager ejaculated that she would give me a bonus and grabbed her. If that’s the case, would you please upload it earlier?

This person is the type of person who starts something and ends it. If I had continued to be a teacher at a private academy, I would have been very successful.

Aren’t star instructors earning billions of dollars these days?

“Why don’t you keep trying?”

Sangyeop-senpai burst out laughing at my words.

“My body is too itchy for that. The world has changed a lot in recent years. And in the next few years it will change even more. Whether the market is going up or down, there are plenty of opportunities if you look for them. But the real big opportunities don’t come easily.”

“A big chance?”

Sangyeop senior nodded her head at my question.

“What is happening these days is completely different from the past. It is not just a matter of whether a company is successful or not, but rather a process of complete reorganization of the industry.”

Taek-gyu asked.

“For example?”

Sangyeop senior raised her smartphone.

“This is a prime example. When NPL first launched its smartphone, the powerful players who were occupying the market ignored or denigrated it. I thought that there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy something that could already be done with the equipment I already had. But how about now?”

In less than 10 years, smartphones have displaced feature phones and have become a necessity. Not only that.

Non-professional digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players, calculators, and electronic dictionaries have also been pushed out of the market due to smartphones.

Geniuses change the world, but geniuses only know when the world is completely changed. However, even if you are not a genius, it is possible to read and ride the flow of change.

“Do you think this is your chance?”

Sangyeop senior shrugged her shoulders.

“What do you think?”

“I think the same.”

The emergence of a new industry is a huge opportunity for both entrepreneurs and investors.

I thought that the academy only taught children, but it seems that they have kept a close eye on the market.

I said, holding up my glass.

“Toast. For the OTK Company.”

“for!”

We drank and talked until dawn.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, my body was lying on the floor.

“Okay.”

I left a good bed and slept on a hard floor, and my back hurts. I was probably the first of the three.

How did you get into the house?

I think I remember being carried by Taek-gyu.

I looked at my phone and saw that there were several calls.

The date was already December 31st. In just one day, it will be next year. Time goes so fast

I checked the list of missed calls and called my mother first.

“It’s me, mother. Don’t worry, I’m getting along well with Taekkyu. I’ll stop by my house sometime soon. Are you coming tomorrow? Yes. I see.”

The house in Dongtan, which was purchased again, is currently undergoing extensive renovation and interior work.

Even though the schedule has been advanced because of the extra money, it takes about a month to finish it all. Until then, he had been living in the current villa.

The mother hung up the phone with the words that the new year should be spent with her family and that she would come home tomorrow with her side dishes.

I made coffee first. On the living room table was a pile of materials while reading.

I can think of something slowly, but it’s frustrating because I can’t see anything. Aren’t you supposed to keep stumbling around?

I think it would be convenient if I put a portfolio in front of my eyes as a hologram on where and how to invest… Do I expect too much?

As I picked up the material again and read it, Taeckyu came down from the second floor.

“Ugh! If I drank it in a moment, I would die.”

He rubbed his sore stomach with his hand and gulped down the bottled water.

“I think you are calling.”

Whoa!

The phone on the desk vibrated.

Yuri’s name was floating on the screen. I got a few calls in the morning, but I couldn’t answer them because I was sleeping.

Taek-gyu looked at my phone and asked seriously.

“Is Yuri Japanese?”

“…are you Japanese?”

Is this a nonsensical question?

I was just not going to answer, but Taek-gyu reached out his hand, pressed the call, and handed it to me.

“What are you doing if you don’t get it? Come on take it.”

Why such kindness?

I had no choice but to bring the phone to my ear.

“Hello.”

Then a woman’s voice was heard.

[Hello, senior. My name is Yuri Shin, a junior in business administration. Did you not save my number?]

“No, it’s not like that…”

[Then why don’t you answer the phone like this?]

“·················ogue.”

Why do you keep calling someone who doesn’t answer?

I want to ask

“uh. I was sleeping.”

[You didn’t even get it a few days ago.]

“Is that so? sorry.”

I got a few phone calls and text messages, but I just skipped them because there were so many things to be concerned about. Someday in the distant future, when all these ordeals surrounding me were over, I tried to call

Yuri said in a soft voice.

[Did you eat?]

“I’m going to eat now.”

[Where are you now?]

“This is Samseong-dong.”

[Then, would you like to eat together? How about at 2 o’clock?]

“Ummm…”

If you think about it, it was thanks to him that I found out about the discontinued L6.

Well, I may have had the same foresight elsewhere, but it’s true that I got help anyway.

When was I going to buy you some rice?

I looked at the clock and there was an hour left until 2 o’clock.

“Where can I see you?”

Yuri said in a bright voice at my words.

[Are you okay in front of the Cheongdam Gallery Department Store?]

“Okay.”

[Yes, sir. Then see you later~]

After the call ended, Taek-gyu asked.

“who?”

“School mates.”

“Hmm, you’re a junior in private contact.”

The boy’s gaze turned cold.

“At such an important time, the CEO of OTK Company is in love!”

I panicked and shouted.

“What kind of love are you? Because I’m just a junior!”

Taek-gyu patted my shoulder and said.

“Don’t forget your duty, my friend.”

“·················ogue.”

What is my duty?

“I’m leaving, so let’s go and talk.”

I just washed my face and put my clothes on. As I was about to put on his shoes, I checked his wallet just in case.

There were only three pieces of 10,000 won in the wallet. I have money left over to buy a house, but I didn’t make a separate card.

Is rice expensive in Cheongdam-dong?

“Hey, lend me some money.”

Taek-gyu put on an absurd expression on his face.

“You have a lot of money.”

“·················ogue.”

What would you do if you made hundreds of millions of dollars? All of them are tied to overseas corporate accounts.

Right now, I only have 3,000 won in my hand.

“Don’t do that, lend me 10,000 won. I will pay you back later.”

Taek-gyu took out two 50,000 won bills from his wallet and held them out as if he were a fan.

“Save it. Don’t be extravagant.”

“·················ogue.”

I’m afraid I’ll suffer such a disgrace to this child. It’s embarrassing, so I have to run a cafe part-timer.

But right now, he was in a position where he felt sorry for a penny, so he politely accepted it with both hands.

“I will go.”

Gallery Department Store is located at the beginning of Cheongdam-dong Luxury Street.

On the first floor of the department store, foreign luxury brands that you can recognize just by hearing their names are lined up boasting splendid interiors, and luxury cars entered the parking lot without stopping according to the guidance of the parking attendant.

The street was full of the year-end atmosphere. Christmas decorations that had not yet been removed were still everywhere, and the people passing by looked excited.

Even though it is the same Gangnam, the feeling of being wealthy is stronger.

Just in time, a model-like woman was filming with the street in the background nearby. Perhaps she came out of a shooting mall.

She took a few pictures of her wearing the coat, and then she went into a van parked near her, changed her clothes, and came out.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Surprisingly, this time it was a thin short sleeve tee. She looked like she was enjoying the scorching summer sun, posing in a lively pose.

Short sleeves in this freezing weather!

What the hell is that thing doing at minus 10 degrees?

It’s so hard to make money.

Thinking like that, I kept looking around, and a familiar face appeared from the other side. He wore tight jeans and a white knitwear, and a half coat over it. Shoes are black loafers.

Unlike the last time, she looks like she has her blonde hair tied together. Her ponytail fluttered with every step she took, and the white nape of her neck was completely exposed.

I don’t know if it’s because of the bright hair color or the looks, but it definitely stands out.

Maybe I’m the only one who thinks so, her passersby looked at her once in a while, and even her lover and the guy walking holding her hand turned their eyes away.

pretty looks pretty

Yuri came in front of me and nodded her head.

“Hello, senior. Have you been waiting long?”

“I just came too. What do you want to eat?”

Why don’t you ask me to go to a fancy restaurant?

Then it’s Dutch Pay without any fuss.

“It’s cold, so how about warm udon? There is a famous shop nearby.”

“Udon?”

“do not like it?”

“No, I like it.”

Surprisingly cheap menu selection. It’s amazing.

The udon shop was on the back road near the department store. Even after lunch time, there was a long line in front of the store. Among them were several Japanese.

I asked absurdly.

“Why are Japanese people lining up at Korean udon restaurants?”

To use an analogy, Koreans go to Tokyo and line up at a restaurant that sells kimchi stew. Did you suddenly miss hometown food while traveling?

“This is a store run by KL. So a lot of Japanese fans come here. It’s even listed in the travel brochure.”

“Who is Kel?”

“I am a member of BCB. I do not know?”

I nodded.

“No, I know.”

BCB is a famous idol group not only in Korea but also worldwide.

Yuri looked at me with her meaningful eyes and said.

“Hey, do you think you are only interested in female idols?”

“Ah, not that.”

Originally, she had no interest in female idols. The senior military officers only played programs featuring female idols, so now I know to a certain extent.

The line quickly dwindled. As the menu is a menu, the turnover rate seems to be fast.

We took our seats. Coincidentally, both tables were Japanese tourists. I hear Japanese everywhere, so it’s hard to tell if this is Korea or Japan.

It’s an atmosphere that Taekyu seems to like. Will you bring me next time?

The udon I ordered came out quickly.

“I will eat well.”
