Chapter 40

Taehyung said firmly.

“This will definitely work out.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“I ordered pizza when I was hungry, and you know how annoying it can be to arrive late? I can endure it until there. But what if it is cold, oil is leaking, and there is no taste head? It’s not the first time I’ve been hit. But here it is primed and then baked in the oven in the truck during delivery. Then the delivery is fast and the pizza arrives hot, right? Once you taste that kind of pizza, can you order it elsewhere?”

It sounds like it, but it doesn’t really make sense.

“Is that that much of a difference?”

Taek-gyu said as if scolding me.

“If you eat with your eyes closed, what do you know who can’t even tell the difference between a dice pizza and a Mama Jones pizza?”

“·················ogue.”

In fact, you can’t even tell with your eyes open.

Since Milo doesn’t know Korean, he probably couldn’t understand what Taekyu was saying. You may have noticed that you are defending yourself intuitively.

Milo said quickly.

“We will reduce labor costs and invest that money generously in materials. I plan to purchase fresh organic ingredients and fill it with toppings.”

When I translated, Taek-gyu shouted again.

“That’s right. I know because I order pizza once every two days, and the life of pizza is the ingredients and toppings.”

“·················ogue.”

Does a person who has eaten meat know that he eats well, and a man who has eaten a lot of pizza knows well?

“Creating cold and tasteless delivery pizzas into hot and delicious pizzas. This is a real innovation! Turn off all Dice Pizza and Mama Jones!”

At first, even when we entered the meeting room together, I thought I would just sit still like a dumb dumbass.

But, as before and now, he is active like a fish in water.

Actually, I can’t even say a word. It was sold earlier, so I don’t know about it now. If I had known this would happen, I would usually order some pizza.

Hyunjoo’s older sister was still skeptical, but Ellie had a different opinion.

“Unlike Korea, pizza is the staple food of Americans. Maybe it will be able to react sensitively to even the smallest difference in taste.”

The investment required by M Pizza is .5 million. The investment will be used to build automated facilities using robots, improve order systems, purchase delivery trucks, and promote.

Is it right to invest in pizza companies in an era when new industries are overflowing?

If it hadn’t been foreseen, it would have passed.

Taek-gyu continued to insist strongly.

“You have to invest all the time.”

I looked at the plan one last time and nodded.

“I do that.”

Hyunjoo’s older sister said to Milo.

“We will invest in MPizza.”

Negotiations were held on the scope of the purchase of the shares and various conditions. And after successful negotiations, Ellie drafted an investment contract, which both sides signed.

The last meeting is over.

When I come up to the room with my weary body, it’s already 10 o’clock at night. I don’t even know how the day went by because I was sober.

Whoops!

I lay down on the bed without taking off my suit.

“It’s annoying to change clothes.”

Unlike me, who was exhausted, Taek-gyu looked fine.

“are you all right?”

“I’m just sitting there, what’s the problem?”

Actually, it wasn’t hard at all. However, the psychological pressure was quite high. He can’t relax easily because it’s a lot of money.

I think Hyunjoo noona, who takes care of these things casually, is amazing. And this guy who was sitting there yawning casually.

“Think of it as a management simulation game. Haven’t you played Sim City?”

“·················ogue.”

I haven’t tried

If you knew it would be helpful in a situation like this, would you have done it?

“I should play a game before going to bed.”

We don’t just stay here for one day, we stay here for a long time. Therefore, Taek-gyu brought a lot of game consoles and laptops from home.

The guy skillfully connected the game console to the hotel wall TV. This doesn’t look much different from the living room at home.

I washed and changed into comfortable clothes.

Meetings are also scheduled for tomorrow. I have to go to bed and wake up early to prepare my schedule for tomorrow.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep easily.

The reason is that······.

I jumped up and shouted.

“Let’s sleep!”

“Don’t worry about me, sleep first.”

“·················ogue.”

I want to too. However, whenever a certain skill was used, a roar sounded, and light flashed from the TV.

This is over 400,000 won per night, and the cost comes out of our pockets. Hyunjoo noona and Ellie were given separate rooms, but we didn’t have to use another room, so we got only one…

Had I known this would happen, I would have booked a separate room!

Eventually I gave up sleeping and got out of bed and put on my shoes.

“Where?”

“I’ll come get some air.”

“Go.”

I got out of the hotel and took a breath of cold air.

Even though it was late, I could see the plane taking off. There are people leaving Korea even at this time.

I looked up at the night sky and thought.

As an ordinary college student, I got hundreds of billions of dollars, and now I use that money to buy foreign startups.

It happened in just a few months.

Suddenly, Seon-ah came to mind.

Is this what she said of her success?

I am walking around the hotel, thinking useless thoughts. I saw a woman in a training suit running from the other side.

Exercising this night?

As the distance got closer, I could see the opponent’s face. Surprisingly, it was someone I knew.

Ellie looked at me, stopped her steps, and removed her earphones from her ears.

“Are you exercising at this hour?”

She smiled at my question.

“I got on the plane, and I felt a little queasy. I was running lightly before bed.”

For a light run, his hair is drenched in sweat.

“Why is Jinhoo here?”

“Ah! I couldn’t sleep, so I was just thinking about this and that.”

“What do you think?”

“·················ogue.”

Thinking of your ex-girlfriend?

I couldn’t afford to say that, so I said whatever came to mind.

“Well, future global economic trends and future investment plans…”

Speaking of which, I want to say something nonsense in front of the person who works at Golden Gate now.

I looked closely at Ellie.

Short brown short cut, pure white skin, and straight eyebrows as if painted on large eyes. Her height was in the early 170 centimeters, and her body boasted an overwhelming sense of volume.

She doesn’t deserve attention because she’s wearing tight-fitting sweatpants.

Maybe someone who doesn’t know would think she’s a Western model, not a lawyer?

Thinking so, Ellie asked.

“Are you still thinking about the future trends of the global economy and future investment plans?”

“Oh no, I’m done thinking. Now go and sleep.”

“I’m going back to the hotel,” said Ellie.

“Would you like to have a drink together?”

“······Yes?”

this time?

* * *

It was late, so the hotel bar was closed.

However, in Korea, there are places that sell alcohol 24 hours a day.

I sat under the parasol. The weather is cold, but it won’t be long anyway. I don’t have anywhere else to go at this time.

Ellie bought two cans of her beer at her convenience store and went out.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

I took the beer.

“I was going to drink alone when I got back to my room, but I’m glad I met Jinhoo. I never thought I would be here at this hour.”

I said with a smile.

“Me too. We are lucky to have met each other.”

We lightly bumped the can of beer.

“Is this your first time in Korea?”

Ellie shook her head.

“This is the third time. It was the first time I came here for work.”

“Thank you for coming.”

“Thank you for calling me. I was interested in hearing Jessica’s story.”

“Hyun-joo noona…… No, are you close with Jessica?”

Ellie nodded her head.

“Because there aren’t many women of the same age in the company. Korea has something in common.”

Even though they’re the same age, isn’t there a big difference?

I glanced at Ellie. It is not easy to judge an age based on appearance alone.

Anyway, he wouldn’t be a few years older than me, but he feels much more mature. Is this the difference between a college student and an office worker at a large company?

Ellie said as she drank her beer.

“I was very surprised to hear her story. The OTK Company that turned the financial industry upside down was run by Jessica’s sister and friend.”

I was quite surprised by that.

“Is that what it was?”

“It was such a big event. The financial losses were also huge.”

Seosung Electronics is a global conglomerate. Smartphones are also sold dozens of times more abroad than in Korea. Therefore, the L6 explosion was a global issue.

As a result, financial institutions that issued options on futures suffered huge losses. The losses that Golden Gate suffered right now are tens of billions of dollars.

“But in the meantime, an unknown company called OTK Company made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. When that fact became known, everyone was astonished. There was a riot, especially inside the Golden Gate.”

OTK Company opened and used an account at the Golden Gate Asian branch from the time it was created. However, the amount in the account has increased by over $600 million.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

There are many rich people in the world, but few have this kind of cash assets. Of course, there will be a lot of interest.

It is surprising to hear that what I have done has attracted the attention of the financial world.

“I think it’s really great.”

“I was just lucky.”

“It is not. Predicting the discontinuance of the L6, or making a bold decision to invest in options, is not just a matter of luck.”

It was me who predicted the discontinuance of the L6, but it was Taek-gyu who funded it. It was Taek-gyu who strongly insisted on investment to me, who was hesitant. And in the middle, I received a lot of help from senior Sangyeop.

Even if I had the superpower of foresight, I wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own.

It is the same this time.

Thanks to the data Hyeon-joo noona sent, I was able to pick out startups, and Sang-yeop senior is running the domestic investment.

If there were no reliable people around, would he have been wandering alone?

“Did you know that everyone thinks of OTK Company as a Japanese investment company? So when I first heard about Jessica, I thought it was a joke. When I heard his brother’s name, I was convinced.”

I smiled and nodded.

“It’s a misleading name.”

Thanks to that, I’m glad that no one thinks it’s a Korean company. If you look at this, it means that the company name is well-made.

As I keep listening to it, I feel like I’m getting better.

I looked at Ellie and said.

“Thank you for coming to Korea.”

Ellie smiled.

“It’s an honor for me to work with you.”

The night air is quite chilly.

Ellie waved an empty beer can.

“I want to have another drink, but I have to think about tomorrow, right?”

“Will this just happen?”
