<h4>Chapter 79: <K coin></h4>
It seemed like most, if not all, people in the room received a message from their own varying sources.
Shin Semi asked Woosung. “So you provided this information to him first?”
“Yes. As you suggested, the first thing I needed to do was break down the exclusivity of this group. Now, I have gained their trusts.”
“That was easy.”
“Haha, no way. It’s never easy to predict the future. You know that very well.”
“I mean, it was easy for you, Woosung. I’ve been wanting to speak with you for a while now, I wanted to thank you for what you told mest time. I was able to gain the Chairman’s trust again with the information you gave me.”
“You’re wee. Think of it as me repaying you for introducing me to KYLO.”
Lee Sunghyun suddenly came to Woosung. “I’m leaving now, I will see youter. Call me if you have any other new information. I have a lot to trade with you.”
Woosung bowed and answered. “I understand.”
Shin Semi nudged Woosung with a joking voice. “It looks like you guys are great friends now.”
Woosung grinned. “You and I are good friends too, right? We’ve known each other for a long time now.”
She blushed as she answered. “I guess so.”
“So we’re better friends than I am with Lee Sunghyun. Don’t you think so?”
Shin Semi stammered. “N…no.”
Woosung teased her. “What? I thought we were very close!”
Shin Semi answered posthaste. “I said no!”
It seemed like Shin Semi was getting angry. Woosung changed the subject quickly. “So don’t you have to go too? Everyone’s leaving in a hurry now.”
“Pardon?”
“This is a big news. Don’t you have to go back to the headquarter?”
Shin Semi bit her lips. “I do.”
Woosung showed her his phone, which hasn’t stopped vibrating.
“Yeah, me too. I need to get going. See youter.”
Shin Semi nodded, but her eyes never met Woosung’s.
After getting into his car, Woosung murmured. “Could it be…?”
He got a distinct feeling that Shin Semi was interested in him.
“But it can’t be.”
Woosung forgot about it right away and answered his phone. Jang Gwangchul was on the other end.
“President Kang!”
Woosung answered calmly. “Please don’t scream into the phone.”
“How could I not? Were you serious about the ghost thing?”
“Yes. I told you. When you said you could smell money on me, I was shocked. I’m telling you, what you felt was the ghost on me.”
“It can’t be. How could this be? I can’t believe this is happening.” Jang Gwangchul’s voice is filled with a mystified tone.
Woosung continued quickly. “I have something to tell you. I n on adding data analysis as part of our business. I think with my ability, it could be very lucrative.”
“Who cares! The ex-president has died! Just as you predicted!”
“I must give it right back at you. Who cares! What we need to focus on is our business. The death of one ex-president has nothing to do with us.”
Jang Gwangchul started to stammer. “W…what?”
“I realize it’s a sad time, but business is business.”
“…”
“Other people are probably already working on using this event to their advantage. The political scene will change because of it, and other businessmen are probably thinking about adjusting their business model to meet this change.”
Jang Gwangchul couldn’t say anything.
Woosung continued. “This will affect everyone, including our business. Haven’t you even considered that yet?”
Jang Gwangchul didn’t like this situation. It felt like he was an employee being reprimanded by his boss.
“W…well, I haven’t had the time and the news was so shocking…”
“Which means we need to be even calmer and think about what we can do for our business. I expected more from you.”
Jang Gwangchul heard Woosung’s disappointment and replied hurriedly. “I understand, so stop nagging me! We’ll talk in the office.”
---------------------------------------------------------------
When Woosung came back home, he showered and sat in front of hisputer. The inte was filled with the sad news and people’s reactions, but he wasn’t interested.
Woosung checked the progress on his bitcoin mining.
“Let’s see.”
850,211.3412
He was happy with the numbers he’s seeing. When he checked the servers, he noticed a few red lights.
Woosung wasn’t surprised. These servers were working nonstop every day. It was normal for some of them to be overworked. He called the offices in America and Korea, he asked them to switch out the broken servers.
The next thing Woosung checked was his ount bnce.
US: 1.689 billion dors.
Korea: 175.4 million dors.
The numbers included the value of his properties too. He had almost 2 billion dors. With bitcoins and Coconut service in the future…
However, these were future values.
Woosung focused only on his current assets. “With only this much money, I won’t be able to buy a significant portion of Daeyang’s stocks.”
Woosung was rich, but he still couldn’t bepared to big corporations such as Daeyang or MOX.
“Waiting for the cryptocurrency boom will take too long…”
Woosung tried to think of other options. What could he do so he can make Jung Jinsup’s life miserable now?
The only way he could think of was using Lee Ari, but he was sure she wouldn’t show up to any meetings if she knew Jung Jinsup would be there.
“Jung Jinsup…Jung Jinsup…”
Woosung thought of things he had that he could use.
Money.
Programming skills.
His knowledge of the future.
He then thought of the things Jung Jinsup possessed.
Large shares of MOX.
His position as MOX’s vice president of development department.
His personal assets.
Woosung didn’t know the exact number of shares and amount of assets he had.
No matter how much thinking he did, Woosung couldn’te up with anything useful.
Finally, he gave up.
“Let’s just get back to work.”
He diverted his attention on K coin development.
---------------------------------------------------------------
He had toplete this project in order to finish the Coconut app before the government selection. He focused on the security of the chat program. It had to be perfect or else the chance of it being chosen by the Korean government would be slim.
While he was focused, a message distracted his frenzied typing.
“Yourpany’s messenger has been selected. Please contact the following number for details. 02-xxxx-xxxx.”
It was a message from the Public Procurement Service.
