Chapter 14

We sat on the sofa and looked down at the table. L6 was placed on the table.

“This one is definitely well made.”

Economist Keynes said:

In the long run, all humans die.

If you apply this to your phone, it will look like this:

“In the long run, all phones will be discontinued.”

Therefore, the latest phone, the L6, will also go on the road of discontinuation someday.

An important thing is······.

“For what reason, when will it be discontinued?”

I’ve been tinkering with the L6. Unlike before, nothing came to mind. I looked around, but didn’t see any problems.

“Did you notice anything strange while using it?”

“It’s the best phone I’ve ever used.”

“Are there any Suseong Electronics smartphones that have been discontinued due to a problem?”

Taehyung shook his head.

“As far as I know, there will be none. And even if there is a problem with the phone, it makes no sense to repair or compensate it, or to discontinue it.”

That’s right.

Unlike the feature phone, which only made calls and texts in the past, a smart phone is a product that combines portable electronic devices such as a laptop, MP3 player, and camera into one.

A single smartphone contains enormous functions, and as the functions become more complex, various problems in software and hardware constantly occur.

If it had been discontinued whenever a problem occurred, all manufacturers would have had to close their doors.

“From a manufacturer’s point of view, there is no way it will ever do anything to lose.”

What is the reason for the discontinuance of popular smartphones?

That night.

As I was sleeping on the sofa, I suddenly heard a scream from inside the room.

“Aww!”

“What, my?

Surprised, I got up and ran to my room.

Quang!

The door opened wide and Taek-gyu ran out of the room. What had happened was that he couldn’t even wear glasses properly, and he looked confused.

“What is it?”

“Something popped and exploded in my head.”

I wasn’t crazy.

“What kind of bullshit? Did you dream?”

“Oh, no. Because it really exploded. am i okay? Have your eyes or ears been blown off?”

“·················ogue.”

His mental state doesn’t seem very good.

I went into the room and turned on the light. Surprisingly, Taek-gyu’s words were true. The bed pad was scorched and the embers burned little by little.

“Hey! Bring water!”

Taek-gyu took bottled water from the refrigerator, and I poured it on the bed.

A black-haired foreigner refers to an investor who, despite being a Korean, establishes a corporation abroad and disguises itself as foreign capital and invests in the Korean stock market.

It’s not illegal, but individual investors don’t like them very much. This is because they think it is a force that disturbs the stock market. (It is also true to some extent)

Short selling itself is not that difficult.

If a typical stock investment is to buy and then sell. The only difference is that short selling sells first and then buys.

“The problem is the rate of return…”

The yield of a short sale can never exceed 100%.

Even if you short-sell a stock worth 1 million won and buy it back at 10,000 won later, the rate of return is only 99 percent.

To be honest, there was no possibility that the stock of Suseong Electronics would plummet that much. Even if the discontinuation of the L6 becomes a reality, the decline will be limited to 20-30%.

“Is it worth investing 13 billion won to make 34 billion won at best?”

That alone is a huge profit.

But is that really all?

Should this great opportunity be satisfied with this amount of profit?

Is there any way to make a bigger profit?

“I’m thinking hard,” Taek-gyu said.

“How about a gift option?”

It’s not that I hadn’t thought of that.

“I don’t know much about derivatives.”

“Didn’t you study at university?”

“I’ve only been there for a year.”

Futures and options-related courses must be taken in 3rd or 4th grade.
