Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 450

Park Jeong-sun thought about the future operating policy.

Whether it was effective to actively promote the bypass connection method and distribute a program to prevent blocking, the number of Helto Quak users, which had fallen, began to gradually increase again.

However, growth in a state where websites are blocked is bound to be limited. It was unreasonable to beat Neoteen Webtoon and rise to the No. 1 webtoon site like before.

‘Korean webtoons are gaining great popularity in foreign countries as well. If you translate a popular webtoon into several languages and serve it, it will work in foreign countries. It will be difficult for writers or companies to work hard on illegal sharing in foreign countries, so let’s target Southeast Asia first.’

Surprisingly, he was targeting overseas markets beyond Korea!

In order to officially service overseas, you need to get permission, review, and consult with the original author, but there is no need for illegal sites.

Fortunately, despite the significant decrease in the number of visitors, advertising inquiries continued to come in. Advertisers (?) applied for large banners and pop-up advertisements without cutting the unit price as they did not know the situation well, and deposited the money into the account provided.

He drove his Porsche to various branches and pulled money from his cannon bank. After withdrawing all the money he had deposited, he stopped by a cafe for a while, ordered coffee, and then went into the bathroom.

He looks at work, organizes his plans in his head, washes his hands, and as he leaves, someone at the door grabs his hand and says playfully:

“I got it, you bastard!”

He was a rather chubby young man in a gray sweatshirt and black horn-rimmed glasses.

“You, what are you?”

Park Jeong-sun, surprised, tried to take his hand away, but the opponent did not let him go.

“Hey, you bastard! Let go of this!”

Park Jeong-sun raised his hand to hit the opponent. But before he could even wield his fist, two plainclothes officers rushed at the same time, subdued him and handcuffed him.

“What, what? You?”

“It’s the police. Are you Jeongseon Park? We are arresting you for operating the illegal sharing site Helto Kwong. You have the right to remain silent, you have the right to speak against you in court, and you have the right to an attorney. If you do not hire a lawyer, a public defender will be appointed.”

People in the cafe were surprised to see it. It’s a scene from a movie or a drama, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in front of my eyes.

When Park Jeong-sun raised his head, the man who first grabbed his wrist said with his arms crossed.

“I don’t have my bag, so I must have left my money in the car.”

“What are you? Who are you?”

The man said to Park Jeong-seon, who was screaming.

“I’ll find you, and I’ll kill you.”

At that moment, something popped into his mind.

“You, are you the one who sent that email?”

He patted Park Jeong-seon’s shoulder as she was being dragged into the hands of the police.

“Good luck.”

After arresting Park Jeong-seon, the police raided his officetel and the officetel where the test server was located, and immediately arrested one of the accomplices.

When all the evidence had already come out, there was nothing to do but deny it.

Hong Seong-hwan, commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, said to Taek-gyu.

“The two accomplices are currently in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.”

Of course, the Korean police cannot exercise public power in a foreign country.

Taek-gyu asked.

“Can’t we ask the Vietnamese police for cooperation?”

“Yes, but it takes time. Do you not know how fast things are handled in Southeast Asia?”

Even if there is no contact for a few days, the accomplices will immediately notice. Maybe by the time the Vietnamese police moved, they destroyed all the servers and archives and then ran away.

Taek-gyu thought for a moment and said as if he had a good idea.

“Ah! Then I will contact the Prime Minister of Vietnam and tell him.”

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Hong Seong-hwan, who nodded his head, was startled.

“If yes… … Yes? Wait. Who are you contacting?”

* * *

Like China, Vietnam maintains a one-party dictatorship of the communist party politically, but economically it has adopted a capitalist system through the Doimoi policy.

Capital is needed for economic development. For this reason, the Vietnamese government implemented an active foreign investment policy.

Large global companies were willing to set up factories in Vietnam, seeing low wages, political stability, and growth potential. South Korean conglomerates such as Seosung Electronics and CL Electronics also entered Vietnam. Among them, Seosung Electronics has solidified its position in Vietnam to the extent that it accounts for 30 percent of Vietnam’s total exports.

Thanks to this, Vietnam was able to defeat other competitors and attract an electric vehicle industrial complex created jointly by OTK Company, Seosung Group, and Eunsung Motors. The joy was even greater as it succeeded in winning the bid by defeating the rival of fate, Thailand.

The automobile is a technology-intensive and labor-intensive high-tech industry. It has the largest trade volume in the world, employs tens of thousands of workers, and has a major impact on the overall parts industry.

In addition, electric vehicles increased as demand increased in the future, but there was no possibility of reducing them. If done well, it will become an important industry that can feed Vietnam in the future.

The Vietnamese government has set the goal of attracting a second factory while continuing to cooperate with Seosung Group and OTK Company.

Prime Minister Nguyen Van Hoa was scheduled for a summit with the South Korean president next month. At this time, he was going to personally visit the OTK Company and ask for an investment, but suddenly a phone call came from the Vice President of the OTK Company.

Prime Minister Nguyen Van Hoa was shocked when he heard the story through an interpreter.

The vice president of OTK Company is known for taking care of subculture-related matters such as games and cartoons with affection.

If this issue is overlooked, it may interfere with future investment attraction.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he immediately gave instructions to the police, and the Vietnamese police were stunned.

“Myung-sun Choi and Ji-woong Park! They are known to use the names Chris and Jun here. Whatever happens, these two must be arrested. If you miss it, everyone be prepared to take off your clothes!”

* * *

After losing contact with Jung-sun Park for several days, Myung-sun Choi and Ji-woong Park noticed that something had happened.

“I think I got caught. Let’s jump too.”

“Where?”

“do not know. Let’s go to Hanoi first, or move on to Thailand. Anyway, you shouldn’t be here.”

“Get your money first.”

They opened the safe and shoved the dollars piled inside into the bag. And as they got out of the building and tried to get into the car, they were greeted by police officers with guns pointing their guns in a siege outside the building.

The commander shouted in English.

“You are under siege! Surrender gently!”

In this case, the main character in the movie would somehow get away with it, but unfortunately, they were real people.

The two didn’t even dare to run away, so they quickly put down their bags and raised their hands.

The Vietnamese police carried out an arrest operation that mobilized about 100 police forces and special forces as if clearing out a criminal organization, and caught Choi Myung-sun and Park Ji-woong just before they escaped.

It didn’t end here.

Vietnamese police have started cracking down on illegal sharing sites presumed to be operating in Vietnam. Not only Helto Kwok, but all kinds of illegal site operators were caught one after another.

In the future, they will continue to cooperate with the Korean police to share information and conduct joint investigations.

The Vietnamese police said they would repatriate the two arrested persons to South Korea as soon as possible, and that Vietnamese programmers who took part in the crime were also severely punished.

When the arrests of the accomplices abroad were finished, the police began distributing press releases in earnest.

[(Breaking News) Arrested by the operator of Helto Kwak, the largest illegal webtoon sharing site in Korea!][Estimated damage to the industry is more than 300 billion won][Strong policy against illegal sharing sites!][Collaborate with Vietnamese police to arrest accomplices in Ho Chi Minh!][Webtoon sites all welcome!][Webtoon writers post congratulations… … ]

Portal sites, including Neotin, published this article as the main article, and news and newspapers also treated it as major news.

Each webtoon site posted a pop-up notice about the closure of the Helto Kwok site and the arrest of the operator per day, and urged them not to use illegal sharing sites.

Webtoon writers could not contain their joy. I thought it would be a good thing to just shut down the site, but I’m sure they’ll catch the operator!

The writers took time out of their busy schedule to draw a congratulatory message, and thanked the police for their hard work.

Neoteen Webtoon filed a separate lawsuit for damages of 10 billion won for the loss suffered by the site, along with a petition asking the operators to be severely punished without leniency.

This was also the case for other webtoon sites. Separately, they decided to claim compensation for damage suffered by each artist by entrusting them to each artist.

The combined value of the lawsuits exceeded 100 billion won.

Min Ha-young, who met Taek-gyu, pointed an Internet article in front of her and asked.

“Is this what you did?”

There was no mention of Oh Taek-gyu in the article. However, Min Ha-young could intuitively know that she had something to do with Taek-gyu.

Taek-gyu, whose mouth was still itchy, told Min Ha-young about the things he had done in the past.

“When I grab my hand and say, ‘You got it, you bastard’, do you know what his expression was like?”

While listening to her talk, Min Ha-young felt her body tremble and her mind wandering.

“Because of me, so much… … ?”

Taehyung nodded his head.

“then. My friend was hurt, can you stay still?”

“… … .”

For a moment, in Min Ha-young’s eyes, Oh Taek-gyu looked cooler than a movie star or an idol singer.

‘what can I do? I must be crazy.’

Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t even look straight into her face.

“Your face is red. Are you sick?”

Min Ha-young was startled and waved her hands.

“Oh, no. OK.”

What kind of man could do this for himself?

Not just this time, but it’s always been like that. He rescued me when I was in a multi-level where I can’t see the light, and made me sign a Lost Fantasy license agreement. Whenever he felt like giving up, he supported me so that he could continue drawing webtoons. Thanks to this, he was able to achieve his dream of becoming a webtoon writer.

She said Min Ha-Young, which she did not know herself.

“I like you.”

“Huh?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Min Ha-young looked directly at Taek-gyu’s face and said.

“I like you.”

After a while, Taek-gyu, realizing the meaning of those words, froze on the spot.

‘Um, this is a completely unexpected development.’

The two didn’t say anything for a while, only an awkward silence.

After a while, Min Ha-Young burst into laughter.

“Pooh! look confused I was joking, so why are you playing like this?”

Taek-gyu was taken aback by those words.

“Uh, what? It’s a joke?”

“All right, of course. I was joking around with my friends. Oh, it was hard anyway. I am strong thanks to you haha!”

Min Ha-young smiled loudly on purpose. Then he got up quickly.

“I have to close, so I’ll go first. It’s because it’s already over and it came out.”

Taek-gyu stood up.

“I’ll take you.”

“no. I’ll just take a taxi.”

“A taxi? for what? You don’t take a taxi.”

She is now a popular webtoon writer and she earns more than a decent big company salary a month, but perhaps because of her hard-working habits, she always used public transportation.

“Hey, I have a place to stop by later. Anyway, I’ll go.”

“Go out together.”

The two went outside. Fortunately, a taxi was picked up right away.

Min Ha-young got into the back seat of the taxi.

“see ya.”

“Huh. Good bye.”

The door closed and the taxi departed.

At that moment, Min Ha-Young burst into tears, which she had been barely holding back.

“Aww!”

The taxi driver asked in surprise.

“Wait, are you okay?”

Min Ha-young shouted with tears in her eyes.
