Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 32

Yuri picked up wooden chopsticks and shoved the noodles into her mouth.

Hurry! Hurry!

I think it’s cute to see them eating without pretending to be pretty.

“Udon is said to be delicious if you eat it all at once without cutting the noodles. Come on and eat.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t expect much because it was a celebrity-run restaurant, but surprisingly the taste is good. The hangover also seems to be relieved a bit.

“I showed up 10 minutes earlier than my appointment time, and I was surprised that I arrived early. Why did you go to Samseong-dong?”

“My friend recently moved to Samseong-dong. Near Samneung Park.”

I added that a friend bought a house and moved in and decided to live together.

Yuri’s eyes lit up at my words.

“Then the senior is now a resident of Gangnam. We can see each other often.”

“Huh. What.”

You said you moved, so you’re a neighbor.ヨ Are you originally this good at attaching?

Probably not. The last time Yuri didn’t know that I broke up with her Seon-ah, she invited her to her drinking party.

It’s easy to tell through rumors who she dated and who broke up in her school. Not knowing that means that she is not the type to be friendly with the people around her.

But why do you do this to me?

She eats hard while talking, Yuri put down her chopsticks first.

“Ah! ate well.”

There was not a drop of broth left in the bowl.

What do you eat so well?

As she was about to get up after eating, Yuri took out her card and counted.

“I was going to buy you.”

Then Yuri sticks out her tongue and smiles.

“I said I would see it, so I have to buy it. Senior, please buy me something more delicious next time.”

She must have thought that she would pay her own from the beginning.

We went out of the store.

“I was tired of eating alone, but I’m glad that seniors came.”

“Aren’t you going to cook at home?”

“I live alone.”

“Ah. okay?”

Saying that she lives alone, she suddenly tries to arouse a curiosity she has never had.

“Is your house near here?”

“It’s right there.”

Yuri’s finger pointed to the huge apartment complex behind the gallery department store.

Huh? Living alone in a large apartment complex in Cheongdam-dong, located on the Han River?

“Would you like to visit?”

“Huh?”

I was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected words.

What does this mean?

No matter how senior you are in the same department, to invite a man to a house where a woman lives alone.

This is obviously…?

“It’s just that my trails are well laid out. There is a cafe for residents on the high-rise observation deck, so you can drink coffee while looking down on the Han River.

“Oh yeah?”

I quickly corrected my expression.

For a moment, I was almost thrilled.

“What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Nothing. Go.”

* * *

It was a short walk to the apartment complex.

In order to enter the complex, residents had to scan their card key. It is a structure that outsiders cannot even come close to.

As I stepped inside, I felt the majesty of a large complex of over 2,000 households. The car was supposed to go underground right from the entrance, and on the ground there was a walkway, a fountain, and a playground.

It was a large complex and the landscaping was good as it was a luxury apartment. It feels like a well-maintained park.

We walked slowly along the promenade.

“Good for a walk.”

“Senior is Samneung Park right in front of his house. Wouldn’t it be better there for a walk?”

“It is, but…”

I never actually went in. The tourist attractions near the original house are unexpectedly not visited.

“Since when have you been living here?”

“I have been living since I was little. I went to kindergarten and elementary school nearby. I moved to another place for a while because of the reconstruction, but I moved in again about 6 months ago.”

It looks like you got an apartment as a member. Is it your own, not the monthly rent?

“Then why do you live alone?”

“My parents are abroad for work.”

I looked around the apartment forest.

“Isn’t a house expensive here?”

Yuri nodded her head.

“The smallest pyeong will be about 2.3 billion won.”

Despite the recession, real estate prices are skyrocketing. Among them, the rate of increase in house prices in Gangnam was overwhelming.

Not to mention the Cheongdam-dong apartment overlooking the Han River.

Still, an apartment is 2.3 billion won.

Isn’t this too expensive?

You can buy a few hundred if you want, but I don’t think it’s cheap. No matter how much money you have, if the price of ramen is 5,000 won, you might think that it is expensive.

Two thousand generations, is it 4.6 trillion won in total? No, I said the smallest pyeong is 2.3 billion won, so wouldn’t it be 6 or 7 trillion if you add up the big pyeongs?

It’s amazing that a house like this is being sold. Does everyone have about 2 billion in cash at home?

“At the time of sale, it was still 1.8 billion won. Even back then, there was a lot of talk about the high price.”

“If I had just received the sale, I would have made 500 million won in one sitting.”

It’s so easy to make money.

What do you do when you work for a hundred days? To be able to live well with only one real estate. Of course, to do that, you need to have 1 billion first.

Living alone in an apartment like this is not an ordinary house.

“By the way, did you say you didn’t want to eat alone, so I asked to see you?”

“Well, there is, but when we met before, something I had heard before was on my mind.”

“What do you mean?”

Yuri stopped walking and asked me.

“How did you know that the L6 was going to be discontinued?”

“·················ogue.”

Was it because of this too?

She must have wondered what it was when she first heard it. Then, when the actual discontinuance was announced, she would have been surprised.

To use an extreme analogy, she gave me six lottery numbers, and she was right.

I told Sangyeop-senpai on purpose, but what she said to him was a complete mistake.

Yuri looked at me with meaningful eyes. If she makes a reasonable excuse, she will continue to doubt.

Fortunately, she expected such a question even before she came, and prepared an answer.

I said as if nothing happened.

“Didn’t you see the pom-poo site? I heard that the L6 exploded three days after I bought it.”

Yuri was taken aback by my words.

“Yes? That’s right?”

“Huh. From then on, there was a riot of bombs and other things. That’s what I was reminded of.”

Yuri smiled as if it was ridiculous.

“Hey, what is it? Was it like that?”

I asked as if I didn’t understand English.

“Then what did you think?”

“I also thought that the senior had heard the information in advance from the supplier or somewhere.”

“·················ogue.”

I misunderstood, but it’s a bit stingy.

I laughed bitterly.

“Pooh! Who told me that?”

But the foresight will tell me. Please tell me one more thing in a few days.

As if the suspicion (?) was completely resolved, Yuri’s expression returned to normal.

“But I wish I had known in advance that it was really discontinued.”

“It doesn’t bother me to change phones.”

With feature phones, you only need to move contacts, but with smartphones, you have to move all your photos and music, as well as your contacts.

L6 was discontinued after recall. Because of this, buyers had to go to the store twice to exchange it.

“More than that, my mother is crying because the stock of Seosung Electronics has gone down. If I had known that the L6 would be discontinued, she would have sold it sooner.”

How many weeks do you have? I don’t think I have hundreds of weeks, right?

“You have recovered a bit.”

“It is still negative. What do you think, senior? Would it be better to sell it now?”

I thought for a moment and then said.

“I think I will still have it.”

“why?”

“Even if it’s a blow right now, it will recover by the time the next model comes out.”

Yuri tilted her head.

“I’ve been through something like that, so will people buy Seosung Electronics phones again?”

“Surprisingly, consumers are very loyal to the Seosung Electronics brand. As you can see, most of them chose the exchange program instead of the refund. So are you. And Seosung Electronics’ main focus is semiconductors, not smartphones or home appliances.”

I remembered the Golden Gate internal report I had read before coming.

One of the core of the 4th industrial revolution is connectivity. The Internet of Things (IOT) means that all devices are connected as one. For this, semiconductors are essential for each product.

Semiconductors are a monopoly industry, and supply is inelastic. It is not easy to increase supply when demand increases, and it is not easy to decrease supply when demand decreases.

Therefore, an increase in demand leads to an immediate price increase, and a decrease in demand leads to a decrease in price.

“As the demand for semiconductors increased over time, it increased, but it will not decrease. As Seosung Electronics is the world’s largest semiconductor company, it will benefit from it.”

As I said, something seems plausible. Do you think I’m great?

Yuri looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“Are you sure?”

I shrugged.

“A personal opinion anyway. I am not a financial expert.”

Yuri smiled brightly.

“Actually, people who are financial experts are always wrong. There are a lot of fund managers who can’t even get the market rate of return.”

Now that I see it, when I smile, a dimple appears on my left cheek I want to poke once with my finger.

“Because winning the market is that difficult.”

“Anyway, from what I heard from seniors, I should keep it instead of selling it.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I was surprised.

“Do you have one too?”

“Yes. When it crashed this time, I borrowed my pocket money and bought 20 weeks.”

“·················ogue.”

Although happiness is not in the order of grades, college is in the order of grades.

At Hankuk University, most students are admitted in the order of SAT and GPA. However, whenever the curriculum changed, various entrance examinations were created, and some of them could be called expedients.

In other words, even if your grades are a little low, you can spend money to enter the school.

Did he even get into school like that?

When he finds out that he is rich, he puts on sunglasses for nothing.

Anyway, living alone in an apartment worth over 2 billion won and buying stocks over 20 million won with pocket money is not an ordinary family.

Who are your parents? Who raised you like this?

Wouldn’t it be strange to ask…

We walked slowly and talked about this and that. It was mainly Yuri who spoke and I listened.

“Are you going back to school next year?”

“Well. I don’t know.”

As I continued walking along the promenade, I saw her grandmother walking opposite her with her hair white and her back bent.

A flower-patterned dwarf and a thick fur vest.

It reminded me of my grandmother, who greeted her grandchildren who came down to her countryside. Although she is now dead.

The old woman looked at her glass and she pretended to know.

“Oops! It’s been a while since I cried.”

Yuri stopped her steps and greeted her politely.

“Hello, Grandma. It’s cold, did you go out for a walk?”

“I’m staying at home because the old man has a moth.”

Her grandmother looked at me next to her and she asked.

“Who is this bachelor? Are you a lover?”

I wondered if I could be misunderstood, so she said quickly.

“I’m just a senior at school.”

Her grandmother mumbled as if she didn’t hear me.

“Your baby is almost old enough to get married.”

Yuri’s face turned bright red.

“It’s a marriage, Grandma. I am still twenty.”

“For three days, we all got married at that age and had children. She needs to buy something delicious and eat it, and her grandmother should give her pocket money.”

Her grandmother rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a single folded five thousand won sheet of hers.

Yuri waved his hand.

“It’s okay. That’s a lot of money.”

not really a lot

While other 20-somethings don’t buy clothes or drink with their pocket money, they use their pocket money to buy 20 shares of stocks over 1 million won a week.
