<h4> Chapter 310</h4>


    After parting with Cholgyu, Hyunwoo headed straight to the Blue House, the presidential office. He already made an appointment with President Ha inside his personal helicopter. The President dly agreed to meet him.


    “Thanks for canceling other appointments to meet me, Mr. President.”


    “You’re wee, Mr. Jang. By the way, why did you so emphasize the security of our meeting?”


    Only then did Hyunwoo lower his voice and said, “Some higher-ups in North Korea are now nning a coup. If that revolution seeds, they want me to support them financially.”


    Mr. Ha was stunned to hear that.


    There were always rumors about coups in North Korea. In particr, such rumors got around wildly since the Kim Jungun regime took office. And that’s why its leader Kim Jongun carried out merciless executions.


    But there had been no specific coup movements exposed like this.


    The fact that they had informed Hyunwoo about their n meant that their action was around the corner.


    Hyunwoo continued, “They said if the revolution seeded, they would be willing to ept the unification form presented by South Korea. If that’s true, isn’t it a golden chance to bring about the unification?”


    The President opened his eyes wider at that.


    “Let me increase our spies inside North Korea. Just in case they start the coup, we should be ready to help them.”


    Hyunwoo nodded his head and said, “Above all, we should keep it secret, Mr. President. We should not make them get caught even before they start the coup if we act recklessly.”


    “Of course. This is something only you and a few others in the government including me should know.”

    Jahwa Sr Cell became a hot seller as the research head of STM Research Center predicted.


    Before Jahwa Sr Cell was developed, the sr energy market was estimated at 50 GW. In today’s Korean currency, it was 40 trillion won.


    As the return on the investment was low because of the low electricity from sr energy, there were few investors.


    Everybody felt sr energy cell was something that the government had to take care of.


    But Jahwa Sr Cell changed the people’s fixed idea on this.


    Hyunwoo kept building sr cell factories. In three years after Jahwa sr cells were developed, Hyunwoo’s sr business exceeded the existing world sr energy market of 50GW.


    Hyunwoo nned to increase the annual sr energy production for next year to 100GW, but the demands for sr energy was so high that even the projected increase would not be enough.


    Thanks to the spectacr growth of the sr energy market, the construction of nuclear power nts around the world stopped immediately. They had no reason to continue the construction when there was an alternative energy source like sr cells that boasted of high safety and pollution-free electricity.


    Hyunwoo applied the use of Jahwa sr cells to cars, ships and airnes. He directed the research staff on a secret project called the M Project the moment they seeded in developing Jahwa Sr Cell.


    And two years ago theypleted the M project in the car sector. They produced a new concept car whose body was covered with Jahwa Sr cells so that such cars could indefinitely run during the day without charging.


    He also pulled off a great sess in the area of model airnes. Jahwa sr cells were used not only in the delivery system equipped with an automatic piloting system but also in monitoring road conditions and scanning the terrain.


    Samryong Motors and STM continued to generate huge profits by producing innovative products. Ani & Funny emerged as the most popr animation leader in the world.


    KOVE DREAM rolled on, with its rivalpetitors beginning to drop from the race when they couldn’t retrieve the return on their huge investments.


    In particr, his overseas business in Bandesh also made a smash hit.


    It was already six years since the Biotech Engineering Center seeded in developing coconut mangroves.


    As a result, Hyunwoo heavily invested in creating a massive coconut mangrove forest along the coasts of Bandesh, and they reaped the first harvest recently atst.


    Upon hearing the good news, Hyunwoo flew to Bandesh right away.


    Mr. Arief, the local head of his mangrove business, presented the coconut and said,


    “This is the first coconut that we harvested from the mangrove forest. As this is a monumental harvest, we have reserved it for you.”


    “Really? Let me taste it.”


    Hyunwoo tasted the coconut water.


    Of course, he tasted soft drinks called coconut water before. Was it because it was kept in a cool refrigerator? The coconut water from the mangrove forest tasted thicker and genuine.


    “Wow, it quenches my thirst instantly.”


    “You bet. These products are very popr in the market. The American and European buyers all tried this and gave a very favorable review.”


    “Wonderful. Have youpleted the processing facilities?”


    “Yes, they have already started to produce coconut soft drinks, cookies and oil.”


    Hyunwoo nodded with great satisfaction.


    What was more encouraging was that there were big fishing grounds in the works near the mangrove forests.


    “Do you like fishing? It’s very cool near the mangrove forest and you can expect a good catch, too.”


    Arief rmended Hyunwoo go fishing. He already arranged for a fishing boat for Hyujnwoo to enjoy fishing.


    “Okay, let me try it then.”


    Hyunwoo got on a boat and went into the mangrove forest with Arief.


    The boat stopped at a proper spot, where Hyunwoo dropped a fishing rod.


    As Arief said, there were lots of fish in the water. Though he hardly went fishing before, Hyunwoo caught fish every five minutes. Sometimes, he caught a fish as thick as his forearm.


    There was an abundance of crabs and shellfish, let alone fish, in the sea around the mangrove forests. He felt the fisheries resources could generate more profits than the coconut mangrove harvests.


    Arief felt the same way.


    “Actually, we’re now hiring fishermen. If we pay them well, we can harvest coconuts and enjoy a good catch, too.”


    Hyunwoo hit upon a good idea at that moment. If a beginner angler like him can enjoy fishing, lots of people cane to the mangrove forest and go fishing.


    “Why don’t you develop this area as a tourist attraction? Fishing and coconutsbined as a tour package produce. How about that?”


    That was a great idea, Arief thought. The only thing that bothered him was mosquitoes.


    But he could find a nice way to drive away mosquitoes.


    “Let me work on that package program.”


    Hyunwoo spent five days in Bandesh and returned to Korea.


    When he returned, he heard some good news from his old friends.


    Yonggu, his high school friend and now the CEO of Space Design, called him to say he was building the 19th hotel in Las Vegas in the USA. Space Design, originally a furniture designpany, now grew as a global hotel builder.


    Actually, Space Designed owed all its sess to Hyunwoo. He gave Space Design the priority right to use the animation characters of Ani & Funny, which enabled thepany to start a hotel business with great sess.


    Reporter Jaeyol Song with Korean Broadcasting became its president.


    Members of Songjukhoe also made a fantastic sess in their careers. Some of the young National Assemblymen who were elected thanks to Hyunwoo’s clean politics campaign took important positions in the standingmittees, and many others in the fields of the press, prosecutors’ office and judiciary establishment also yed important roles.


    What pleased Hyunwoo most was the happiness of his family.


    His parents, who underwent the terrible kidnapping some time ago, were nowpletely recovered.


    Yu Zuung was happy these days with their three-year-old daughter Yonju and their newborn son Gyonghak, who was born 100 days ago.


    Come to think of it, the source of his happiness was Yonju’s birth. Since she was born, Hyunwoo’s family has experienced lots of good things in a row.


    Of course, there was not always good news.


    As his business grew and more people were hired, there was inevitably some bad news. In fact, there were three big incidents involving his employees outside their workces.


    Some female workers were robbed on their way home.


    Strange enough, they were robbed inside a taxi. The taxi driver turned into a felon at some point, attacked them and took their money and goods at night. And one of them was even killed by a bad taxi driver.


    ‘Never should these kinds of tragic incidents happen. Can I devise a good way to avoid this?’


    Suddenly, an idea shed into his mind.


    STM Research Center developed an automatic driving system long time ago. Though it was difficult to navigateplicated traffic downtown, it could be used effectively on country roads with little traffic.


    During the test run, they could find some defects in the system, and with some corrections and improvements, the automated driving system could bemercially used downtown in the near future.


    ‘Yea, let me make unmanned taxis equipped with an automatic driving system. That way our female customers can safely use them.’


    Hyunwoo established the department of unmanned taxi business at STM and immediatelyunched the business. He chose Taean County as the site for test driving and established checkpoints in many parts of the county.


    At the same time, he sent out a press release to the media.


    He expected the people would react enthusiastically to his idea. In particr, those women who had to catch a taxite at night would be thrilled to see the unmanned taxi, he thought.


    But he met a very unwee and unexpected response.
