Las Vegas E3 Game Show.
OTK Games attended this game show for the first time since moving its headquarters to Detroit. As Lost Fantasy Online is gaining popularity in North America, reporters and gamers showed great interest.
Shigeru Ichikawa, president of OTK Games, appeared in person and announced the progress of VRMMORPG development along with the Lost Fantasy Online update.
“We are working with OTK Company, the parent company, to build the world’s largest data center, continue to cooperate with Seosung Electronics in the hardware field, and are also promoting the connection with Space Link, a satellite internet promoted by Space Z.”
Most of it is a rehash of previously announced content, and there is nothing special about it.
However, there is a difference from before. That is, OTK Company, the parent company, has the technology and capital to implement all these plans.
The vice president said that he would spare no effort in developing the next game, drawing support from gamers and developers.
Just as Karos completely changed the automobile industry after the release of the self-driving electric vehicle, it was clear that if OTK Games released a VRMMORPG, it would change the game industry.
There were also competitions to attract data centers in each country. Surprisingly, Korea also intervened here.
In the past, if it was Kang Jin-hoo’s job, the Liberal People’s Party, which had been opposed to it, proposed the bill earlier than the New Politics Party.
“We need to attract data centers to Korea. We will eliminate the practice of law enforcement agencies requesting personal information at will and enact relevant laws. OTK Company’s attraction of the data center will be a new opportunity for Korea to become a data powerhouse.”

Previously, if it was the world’s largest company, everyone picked Saudi Arabia’s ARAMCO. But now, no one disputed that OTK Company took the place.
Experts evaluated that the market cap of OTK Company is larger than that of Aramco and that it is larger than that of the largest US companies, NPL and Microsoft combined.
The future growth prospects were even brighter.
Electric vehicles, batteries, aviation, space, games, construction, pornography, etc.
It was truly surprising that the shareholders of such a giant corporation were not the state or a large number of investors, but only three people.
Interestingly, while Jin-hoo Kang and Hyeon-joo Oh are well known, little is known about the identity of Taek-gyu Oh.
As it is said that the role of the deputy representative was also important in this case, many people were curious about his identity.
A cafe in Cheongdam-dong.
People’s eyes continued to turn to one table.
A woman with a small body and rabbit-like eyes. On either side of them sat a woman with a sophisticated look like a celebrity and a lively white woman with short hair.
And there was a man with black horn-rimmed glasses and a gray sweatshirt sitting with him.
Who would think of him as a person who has hundreds of trillions of assets in assets and leads the OTK company along with Kang Jin-hoo?
It’s been a long time since we’ve met, so Taek-gyu drank juice and talked about things that had been delayed. The three women listened to him every word, every word.
“Jinhoo was worried, so I put my hand on her shoulder and said, ‘It’s Jinhoo. This is something we all have to risk. world economy… … No, the fate of the world is in our hands.”
For some reason, Kang Jin-hoo’s role was reduced, while Oh Taek-gyu’s performance was greatly emphasized. However, the three women could not help but admire the truth.
“Right!”
“Oh, that’s great.”
“Awesome, brother!”
It was a great honor to be able to meet in person and hear the story of the person who made a tremendous achievement that will forever be recorded in the history of the world economy.
Anneke said looking at Taek-gyu with envy.
“Thanks to you, Norway was able to survive!”
Norway is a member of NATO and, although not a member of the EU, has paid EU contributions and traded with the single market.
If the EU were torn apart and a war broke out in Ukraine, sparks would have ignited in Norway as well.
Both said
“Thanks to you, the CL group also got through the crisis.”
In addition, CL Chemical, whose father is her father, is accelerating the production of JN batteries following Seoseong SB.
Taek-gyu drank fresh fruit juice and remembered what had happened a long time ago.
It is a fact that many people do not know, but he was the one who shook the back of Kang Jin-hoo, who had no idea about investment or business.
If it wasn’t for Oh Taek-gyu, the Kang Jin-hoo today wouldn’t exist.
‘And if it wasn’t for Jinhoo, I wouldn’t be where I am today.’
Thanks to him, he has the money to do whatever he wants to do.
Taek-gyu was planning how to spend that much money.
He said, ‘He supports game development for OTK Games and other game companies, and takes over animation studios and creates animations that he wants to make. Ah! I have a lot of work to do.’
Deokjil(?) was also on a global scale.
said Anneke.
“I think it would be fun to write a book like this later!”
“Oh, yes.”
Taek-gyu thought about the past. In retrospect, each and every thing that Jinhoo Kang and I did together was a series of amazing things that could turn the world upside down.
Min Ha-young said quickly.
“Well, then I’ll draw it as a webtoon!”
Taek-gyu Oh thought with his arms crossed.
‘Hmm, if there is nothing to do later, shall we write a novel?’

After Saemangeum was classified into administrative districts, the official name was decided as Saemangeum Special Self-Governing City, but many people called it OTK City.
A convention for foreign investment was held here.
In the presence of President Huh Chang-min, opposition politicians, and domestic businessmen, working-level officials from abroad came in.
What is unusual is that not only the executives came, but the leaders of Asia flocked like clouds.
Vietnam, Laos Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and so on.
Anyone who sees it would think that the Asian summit was held.
Surprisingly, the Japanese leader was also there.
Prime Minister Okazaki reached out to me.
“Nice to meet you, CEO Kang Jin-hoo.”
I grabbed that hand.
“Thank you for coming, Prime Minister,”
Prime Minister Okazaki said with a smile.
“I hope that economic cooperation between Japan and Korea will continue in the future, centering on Saemangeum.”
Korea, China and Russia have formed a single economic bloc centered on space development and JN Battery, with Central Asian countries at the top and ASEAN countries at the bottom. But Japan is missing here.
Just don’t let your body heat up.
I nodded willingly.
“of course. Korea and Japan are important economic partners that are indispensable to each other. OTK Company is also looking forward to cooperation with Japan.”
Prime Minister Okazaki’s expression brightened at my words.
“I would like to ask you to visit Japan sometime.”
I laughed too.
“Of course, Prime Minister. Still, I was thinking of going to Japan to start negotiating the reparations Japan should pay to North Korea. Japan’s apology for its war crimes and compensation for damages is an issue that needs to be resolved most urgently.”
“… … .”
After the successful investment briefing session.
President Huh Chang-min and other leaders toured the Saemangeum construction site in person. Entrepreneurs followed suit.
The appearance of Saemangeum has changed a lot from before. The desert-like appearance of only blowing sand and dust disappeared, and foundation construction was in full swing in all directions.
The regulations were lifted and various advanced construction techniques were also mobilized.
“It looks like this is the Seosung Electronics semiconductor factory.”
At President Huh Chang-min’s words, Chairman Im Jin-yong quickly spread his fingers and proudly said.
“With the money to build one of these buildings, we can build five Incheon Airports.”
“Five! Ok?”
Seeing him appealing for his investment so hard, he doesn’t want to be arrested again.
I looked around.
This will be our new home in the future. OTK Company’s headquarters are also moving, and the house is also moving here.
I have already commissioned Akit to design the house.
I checked the time and said.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll go first.”
Afterwards, dinner was scheduled, so everyone looked surprised when I heard that I was going first.
President Huh Chang-min asked.
“What are you going for already?”
“I have a very important appointment.”

At the airport, Ellie had arrived first.
We all got on the private plane together. The destination is Hong Kong. The reason for going is to see Eli’s parents.
After I met him first and greeted him, I decided to hold a formal meeting in Korea.
“You’re busy with work, aren’t you in a hurry?”
“My older sister told me that the wedding preparations were overkill, so I had to hurry.”
If you get busier in the future, you’ll be busy, and you won’t be idle. If you procrastinate, there will be no end to it, so you should do it when you can.
“And I wanted to get married as soon as possible.”
It’s nice to have someone to be on my side anytime, any time.
“Who are Ellie’s parents?”
“It’s just like any other parent. She’s probably the only daughter, so she’s always worried. When she found out that I was meeting Jin-hoo, she was surprised. Because she never thought that my girlfriend would be the richest man in the world.”
“When did I tell you?”
“At first, I just said that I was dating a Korean businessman, but I found out about her after an article went out after shooting a Bester commercial.”
You must have been really surprised.
After arriving at the airport, we headed to our hotel in Central. Arriving at the dining room first and sitting down, Ellie smiled at me.
“Why are you so nervous?”
I wiped the sweat from my palms with a handkerchief.
“Does it look like that too?”
I don’t think I was this nervous when I met President Zhang Pinghua or President Vysotsky.
Ellie smiled and said.
“No worries. You will definitely like Jinhoo.”
“I wish I did.”
What will Ellie’s parents think of me?
Ellie is her only daughter. And I took such a precious daughter to Korea, and now she wants to marry her.
From her father’s point of view, as soon as she saw it, she said, ‘Hey! Wouldn’t it be great to shout out that my daughter will never give it to me!’
Ellie patted my hair with her fingers.
As she waits impatiently, a middle-aged man with the dignity of a Hong Kong noir movie star and a white middle-aged woman with blonde hair and a graceful appearance come in.
Looking at the two of them, I think I can see where Eli’s beauty came from.
After meeting her parents after a long time, Ellie greeted her with a hug. She then introduced me.
“This is Jinhoo. Do you all know? This is my father and mother.”
I bowed my head and said hello.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jinhoo Kang.”
The middle-aged woman spoke in slightly slurred Korean.
“Nice to meet you. This is Ellie’s mother, Michelle Ilya.”
But the middle-aged man kept her mouth shut and stared at me for a moment. When Ellie’s mother stabbed her in the side with her elbow, he opened her mouth as if he couldn’t help it.
“My name is Mark Kim.”
After saying goodbye, we sat down.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
Eli’s father looked at me with a disapproving expression.
There was an awkward atmosphere. It was Eli’s mother who spoke up first.
She said, “She was shocked when she saw Ellie and her article that she was dating Mr. Jinhoo. I hope the two of you will even get married. The airport proposal this time was great.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Ellie’s mother told her husband.
“Tell me, too.”
“What do I have to say?”
said Ellie.
“Does your dad have any questions about the man who will marry her daughter?”
Then Eli’s father coughed for nothing and opened her mouth.
“Hmm, I heard he’s good at investing.”
“Yes.”
“Is the company doing well?”
“Yes. It seems to be going well.”
“Have you prepared a house to live in?”
“Yes.”
Ellie pouted her lips and said.
“What do you ask the richest man in the world like that?”
“Wow!”
Ellie’s mother laughed and said.
“Saying this, she has been watching her articles since Ellie found out that she was dating Jin-hoo. How much she cheered her this time too.”
At that, Eli’s father was perplexed.
“No, when did I say that?”
“We respect her daughter’s choice. All I want is for Ellie to be happy.”
With money, you can buy nice clothes, a car, a nice house, good food, etc., and you can do what you want to do.
As freedom of food, clothing and shelter and time are directly related to happiness, it is not a lie that money can buy happiness. But just because you have an infinite amount of money doesn’t necessarily make you happy.
No matter how much money you have, what’s the use if you’re sick and can’t be with the person you love?
I said frankly.
“I think the biggest achievement I got from investing was not a lot of money, but meeting Ellie.”
Ellie looked at her parents and said.
“I am also the happiest when I am with Jinhoo. Don’t worry, we’ll live well.”
At those words, Eli’s father’s expression softened.
“Well, then… … .”
Ellie’s mother squinted her eyes.
“If the two of us really love each other, we can all agree.”
We held each other’s hands under the table.
