Chapter 224
Chapter 224
Prostitution is illegal in some countries and legal in some countries, but in the case of pornography, most developed countries allow it. However, it is still illegal in Korea.
However, as we all know, the Internet is overflowing with pornography, and even now, you can access any number of foreign sites to view it. And the judiciary does not impose any specific sanctions on this.
It is illegal by law, but what you see is a bizarre situation that does not punish.
Although Faceit is actively pioneering foreign markets such as South America, Europe, and Japan, starting with the US, it has not been able to launch an official service in Korea, and even the site is blocked. (However, surprisingly, the number of Korean paid subscribers continues to increase).
Anyway, now Faceit has emerged as an absolute powerhouse in the pornography market. People called Faceit the porn industry’s Netplay, or N.Flo. (Although Netplay and NPL seem to dislike it very much)
Toby explained enthusiastically.
“Dancing Rabbit is currently experiencing serious operating difficulties due to successive business failures, and has expressed its intention to sell. I was thinking of entering this market someday, but it seems like a good opportunity.”
Gerrard said, as if to explain further.
“The acquisition of Dancing Rabbit is necessary even for the success of VR pornography, which is currently being developed. In the future, we plan to create porn that we play, not porn that we just watch.”
“… … Huh?”
What are you doing?
“Have you ever had a question like this while watching porn?”
“What kind of question do you have?”
“Why do I have to watch my favorite actor do it with another guy?”
“Yes?”
“Of course, it’s fun to see what other people are doing. But wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to do it yourself?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
When I agreed, Toby revealed his aspirations.
“Just like Karos built self-driving cars, Faceit will combine software and hardware to create new pornography that allows users to have a hands-on experience with their favorite actors!”
“… … .”
Taek-gyu spoke on behalf of me, who couldn’t even say anything.
“It’s genius.”
Certainly the idea is genius.
It is no exaggeration to say that the sex industry has grown along with human history. However, it is also true that there has not been much progress in this field compared to technological advances.
Decades have passed since pornographic videos were sold in earnest, but only the media such as VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and high-definition files continued to change and there was no significant change.
If porn is software, adult products are hardware. So you’re going to combine the two to make porn you enjoy?
I admired myself.
It’s not easy to dig just one well this deep.
One of the most common mistakes successful entrepreneurs make is to lose focus. When you get drunk on success and lose your initial creativity and innovation, you become one of those mediocre companies and eventually collapse.
But Toby and Gerrard were different.
Although it was a huge success in a short period of time, the two were just as passionate about porn as when they first met.
For some reason, I thought that these two might really write a new history of pornography.
In the future, when people talk about porn, won’t they be talking about Toby Strong and Gerard Bacon first, not Larry Plant (Founder of Hustler) and Hugh Hefner (Founder of Playboy)?
When I said that, Taek-gyu nodded in response.
“And your name, invested in them, will also remain in the pornography industry.”
“… … Huh?”
why? what am i guilty of
Japan is the most active in this field. Several companies are already releasing VR porn, and sex dolls that can have simple conversations and feel body temperature have already been released.
If these two are combined, wouldn’t it be possible to create a great synergy? In a way, this is a true combination of software and hardware.
I nodded.
“How much is the acquisition amount?”

After finishing the morning meeting on the issue of additional investment in Faceit, it was time for lunch.
The staff left and it was just the two of us, and the senior, Sang-yeop, asked comfortably.
“What are you going to do for lunch? Would you like to eat together?”
“I decided to eat with Ellie.”
Sangyeop said with a sigh.
“Oh, I’m envious. I also want to make a boyfriend.”
“There are a lot of women.”
“What do you do a lot? There must be speed.”
“Considering that, there were rumors of dating a female idol again this time.”
“What is love? We are just dating.”
“… … .”
We’re just dating, so why are we taking a picture together while we’re out of the house?
K Company is the largest shareholder of Edm Entertainment.
Unlike other entertainment companies, Edm Entertainment started out as an IT company that originally operated a crowdfunding site, and is still making profits through investment in movies and dramas rather than celebrity management. This investment takes the form of a typical high-risk, high-return. If the movie you invested in hits a jackpot, you can earn 10 times or more, but if it goes bankrupt, you won’t even be able to get the principal.
In any case, due to investment issues, Sangyeop has frequent contact with the entertainment industry, and he has decorated the entertainment industry by flirting with female celebrities several times.
“How about meeting celebrities?”
Senior Sangyeop chuckled.
“If you’re curious, let’s meet. There are many female celebrities who want to introduce you.”
“Who are you?”
“Movie actors, models, idols, etc. Ah! Do you know Jung Soo-yeon?”
I nodded.
“Isn’t he the hottest actor these days?”
“You asked me to give you your number directly.”
The female lead in the drama wants to meet me, so it’s kind of strange.
But if you leave Ellie alone and get caught dating another woman, Hyunjoo noona will beat you to death. I don’t think so.
“I have a girlfriend.”
“I do not care. I know he’s dating a man.”
What country is this from?
Sangyeop said with a smile.
“be careful. Because there aren’t only two women who like you.”
“… … .”
How popular is it?
As I got out of the elevator and walked out, the lobby on the first floor was noisy.
“You must not do this. I’ll report it to you, so please come back immediately.”
“Oh really! It’s because I’m hypermotivated with Kang Jin-hoo!”
I could see the disgruntled staff and the screaming woman.
She was surprisingly familiar.
Wavy brown hair, large ring earrings. Although it was still cold, she wore a mini skirt that showed off her legs and her high heels.
She has thick and gorgeous makeup, but she has a pretty pretty face. She’s not very tall, but her proportions are good.
She was actually quite popular in school.
But why is he here?
Contrary to my embarrassment, Hyemi Lee waved her hand warmly.
“Oh my, Jinhoo! It’s been a long time! Nice to meet you!”
The security staff looked at me and asked.
“Do you know anyone?”
“that… … .”
Hyemi spoke on behalf of me who was hesitating.
“I said hypermotivated. We are very close!”
“… … .”
Aren’t we very close?
It’s too bright to deny.
I sighed inwardly and said.
“What’s going on here?”
“I stopped by after school.”
“… … .”
How the hell can I get from Gangbuk to Gangnam?
Besides, Hyemi was not alone. Behind her were about ten other children with her. The male to female ratio is about half. Everyone looked younger than me.
Hyemi said with a smile.
“These are the new students from the Business Administration Department. Everyone wanted to see you, so I brought you here.”
So, are they my classmates?
My juniors greeted me with awkward expressions.
“Ah, hello, sir.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Everyone looked at me with their eyes wide open and curious. It’s like seeing a famous celebrity on TV.
I could roughly understand what was going on.
Probably, Hyemi had told her freshmen about her close cider with Kang Jin Hu as usual, and cider she used to flirt with. Then she said that freshmen wanted to meet me, so she came to the company with me.
So how do I do this?
After thinking for a while, I heard a scream from behind.
“Hey! What are you guys?”
Looking back, Jung Ki-hong, the PR team leader, was standing there.
Hyemi and some of her freshman students recognized Kihong’s face. Unlike me, who rarely goes to her school, Ki-hong sometimes goes to school with her girlfriend (Hyun-jeong) or buys food for her juniors.
In my own words, it is to find talented people who will enter the company in the future… … It’s just that it’s remote and spacious, but it seems like he likes meeting people.
Senior Ki Hong continued to yell at her.
“Do you know that work is a children’s playground? What is she doing by breaking into the company without an appointment?”
Then she bowed deeply to me in front of her juniors.
“The classmates made a fuss. I’m sorry, sir.”
The freshmen who followed the advice of their seniors for no reason and were suddenly scolded became contemplative.
It’s kind of sad to see that. When I was a freshman, I was foolish without knowing anything.
What are they really doing? The problem is Lee Hye-mi, who instigated freshmen who didn’t know anything.
Senior Ki Hong said in a low voice.
“After scolding me moderately, I will eat and send.”
Still, he seems to want to take care of his juniors.
I nodded.
“Please buy something expensive with a corporate card.”
“Okay.”
Senior Ki Hong said to her freshmen.
“Follow all of you.”
Instead of following Hyemi with her freshmen, she naturally touched my shoulder and pretended to be friendly.
“Jinhoo, you became so cool while I didn’t see you.”
“… … .”

I entered the cafe with Hyemi on the first floor of her building.
It was quiet because it was only available to the staff working inside the building and the visiting guests.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Vanilla Ice Blended. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on whipped cream.”
vary
I told the staff.
“Give me what you just said and an iced Americano.”
As I stood still with her hands in her pockets, Hyemi pulled her purse out of her Louis Vuitton bag she was carrying.
“Hey, should I buy this?”
She then did not listen to her answer and she confidently presented her card to her staff member.
“Please count with this.”
I didn’t see it and said a word.
“Staff is free.”
“That’s right?”
Hyemi put her card in with a shy expression.
We grabbed drinks and sat down. When the two of us meet face to face, I feel like they are having a hard time with me. Even so, a lot has changed in the meantime.
I became the CEO of a large corporation, and I am still a student.
“… … .”
But why is he still a student?
I asked over coffee.
“You didn’t graduate?”
Hyemi smiled and said.
“Huh. I have a few bad grades, so I have to go until this semester to graduate.”
Did you not study?
There are two things I’ve been curious about before. One is how he got into Korea University, and the other is why he came to the business school.
He doesn’t seem to have much interest in economics or management.
“By the way, what did you come here for?”
“What is work? I’m just here to see your motives face. Do you know how shocked I was to hear the news? Everyone at school only talks about you.”
“I just heard about it.”
Yuri occasionally delivers school news.
“Have you ever heard of Seon-ah?”
“Huh. I saw your face once before we got married.”
“Right.”
Hyemi said as if she had remembered something.
“Ah! Do you remember Chae Myung-ho?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“Master Chicken Son?”
“Huh. She went to study abroad, but this time she returned to school.”
“It looks like you haven’t resigned.”
After all, I enrolled at the end of my third year, but dropping out must have been a waste.
Hyemi, who had been talking about her school for a while, changed the topic.
“Did you eat lunch?”
“Now to go eat.”
“Okay. Then let’s go eat together. I like steak.”
“… … .”
Are you talking about buying this?
“I have lunch plans.”
I thought I’d give up if I said this, but that’s because I saw him too easily.
Hyemi said with her eyes twinkling.
“What promise? Can’t I go with you?”
“… … Huh?”
Why are you following my promise?
I thought so, and just then, I got a phone call from Ellie.
[I entered that building, where are you now?]“It’s in the cafe on the first floor.”
[I see. I’ll go there.]Ellie immediately walked into the cafe. She wore a black suit, tying her brown hair up to her shoulders as usual.
It’s so cool that even the attention of the cafe staff is focused.
She came to our table and Ellie looked at her Hyemi and she smiled.
“Good morning. See you here again.”
Hyemi looked at Ellie and she was startled.
“Why, why are you here… … ?”
The two met briefly at school a while ago. Maybe it’s a bad memory for some.
I introduced Ellie.
“This is my girlfriend Ellie. Have you seen them at school before?”
Hyemi’s eyes widened.
“Hey, girlfriend?”
Ellie sat down next to me, and I naturally grabbed her hand.
“What were you talking about?”
“They said we’d like to go eat together.”
“Good for you. It’s good to go together.”
She was bewildered and she was not sure what to do, but Hyemi said that she suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, I had an appointment, but I forgot. I’ll call you later, Jinhoo.”
Then I got up and grabbed my bag. She didn’t forget to bring her coffee in the meantime.
Eli looked at Hyemi’s back as she ran away and she asked me.
“Why is that woman here?”
I shook her head.
“I do not know. I don’t know either.”
Why the hell did you come?
