God of Money

Jang Gwangchul was excited. "What a profit! This is amazing. I can't believe it!"

"I'm glad."

"Glad? You should be jumping with joy."

"This is only the beginning. We need to do much better."

"You need to learn to enjoy your success."

"You know me, I have big dreams."

"I know, I know." Jang Gwangchul grumbled.

Woosung asked Hong Soobum, "How's it going in China?"

"As you requested, I got an office in Zhongguancun and looked into the list of companies you gave. It's taking longer than I expected because of the H1N1 situation."

"Please contact as many Chinese companies as possible and get the investment through. This is as important as the Coconut service itself."

Tencent.

Xiaomi.

DJI.

Alibaba.

Woosung planned to invest in these companies, which he knew would become big in the future.

"Yes, sir. I will work on it and let you know."

Woosung replied, "I need to go to America for a while. I need to go meet the people who made Blue S possible in Silicon Valley."

Jang Gwangchul looked at Woosung doubtfully. He felt like there was another reason for Woosung's visit.

"But you just got back. What are you planning to do?"

"Haha, I didn't have a lot of time then because it was such a short trip. I'm telling you the truth."

But Woosung had another plan. Dubai Shock would happen at the end of this month.

He planned to make money through crude oil future trading.

'I need to do really well this time.'

Because of Dubai's moratorium, WTI crude oil price would dip.

Woosung looked at Park Byungki and asked, "How's it going in Daeyang? I heard they are coming out with a new smartphone."

"My sources tell me it would be released in March next year, but because of Blue S's success, they are trying to release it sooner. The real problem for us is how TK Telecom is refusing to launch Blue S."

"That's not a problem. Blue S is already released through LU Telecom and TK Telecom users are switching to LU just to get Blue S."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. It will get even worse for TK when Blue S2 is released."

No one could argue with Woosung. A similar thing happened with iPhone when it was released in Korea. It was available only through LU Telecom, which caused a significant loss to TK. Woosung believed the same thing would happen with Blue S. Jang Gwangchul looked at Woosung.

"I wonder how many Blue S2 will get sold in Korea. We sold over a million Blue S."

"It will take some time, but I am expecting to sell at least 10 million."

"If we sell 10 million in Korea, then internationally…"

While Jang Gwangchul gawked, Woosung turned to Park Byungki.

"I will let the office in America know. Please get ready for the mass production of Blue S2. This means the third factory in Gimpo needs to be ready ASAP. As soon as Daeyang releases its new phone, we will release our S2 to compete against it."

"By the way, we got a call from the Information Department. The new Minister of Information wants to make an official announcement regarding the national employment rate at a business luncheon. Because KND recently hired so many people, you have been invited to this event. I'm not sure if you know, but the new minister Kim Woogyum is situated in Gimpo."

As Woosung listened quietly, Park Byungki continued, "Many people will attend including people from Daeyang. It will be a good opportunity to make important acquaintances."

"Alright. I will attend. Please RSVP."

After the meeting, Woosung talked to Jang Gwangchul in private, "How's it going?"

Jang Gwangchul knew exactly what Woosung was talking about.

He replied, "We have 17% so far. If we continue like this, the stock price may rise. MOX may be losing customers for now, but Legend still has a solid base of faithful fans. It could recover quickly."

Woosung knew this as well.

In his previous life, Legend was reborn as a mobile version, Legend M, a huge hit. Its new game Battle Round was an even bigger hit worldwide.

"How's League of Ancient doing?"

"Great as you predicted. We also took your suggestion and hired Lee Ari and Yoo Sona as the official models for the game. Their signboards are apparently being sold in the black market because they are so popular."

Woosung laughed, "Haha, the display boards?"

"That's right, and you remember Yoo Sona, right?"

Jang Gwangchul glanced at Woosung, who replied indifferently, "Of course. I know her very well."

He remembered that night, but he shook his head to focus.

"Then we are finally the major shareholder of MOX. 17% under a different name, 12% under KND, and 10% under my name."

Jang Gwangchul didn't know, but Woosung also had 15.5% as collateral from Jung Jinsup. He also had 7% in the US account.

It was a total of over 61%.

"What are you planning to do? Are you going to do it?"

"There is someone in MOX I know very well."

He needed to remain close to Jung Jinsup to take everything away from him. He also still needed Jung Jinsup to get close to Choi Gichul.

"Then what are you planning?"

"I will combine all the stocks in one spot."

"W...what?"

"And someone else will attack MOX." Jang Gwangchul couldn't understand what Woosung was talking about. Woosung continued. "After the Dubai Shock, I need to transfer the stocks, so please get the documents ready."

Jang Gwangchul replied, "Yes, sir."

"It will need to happen on December 24th, Christmas eve."

Jang Gwangchul wanted to ask more questions, but he knew Woosung was done with this conversation.

TK Telecom's Jun Taewon gritted his teeth as his director approached him with a customer report.

"About 5000 customers left our service."

"Is it because of Blue S?"

"Yes, based on our survey."

"Is it that good?"

Jun Taewon remembered meeting Woosung at the party.

He had a bad feeling then.

The director replied, "Per Daeyang's request, iPhone's release in Korea has been delayed, but we couldn't stop Blue S's launch by LU."

"What does Daeyang want?"

"They have asked us to delay Blue S's release through TK, but they realized how much it's costing us. If this continues, we could lose up to 50% of our customers."

"What does our Chairman say?"

"He said he will trust your decision."

Jun Taewon gave this conundrum one thorough thought. If things continued like this, the company would have a big loss, but if they released Blue S, they would lose Daeyang's trust.

Plus, he hated Woosung, "Hmm."

The director asked, "Should I arrange a meeting with KND?"

"No, that's not necessary. I will be meeting him at the upcoming business luncheon."

He also had plenty of opportunities to meet Woosung at the KYLO meetings.

The director suggested, "I think we should consider launching Blue S. There is a rumor Blue S2 is in the works."

Jun Taewon still couldn't make a decision. He was rude to Woosung at the KYLO party. He admitted it was a stupid move.

The director continued, "If LU releases iPhone as well, we may not come out of this alive."

Jun Taewon nodded. The company's well-being was more important than his pride.

"Alright. Get in touch with KND."

The director nodded and left the room.

Woosung entered the luncheon in an expensive suit. Many familiar faces were already at the party. Some were from KYLO, while others were people he saw on TV. He also noticed TK Telecom's Jun Taewon and Shin Semi.

However, Woosung was looking for someone else.

Choi Taemin.

Woosung realized that even if he took out Choi Gichul, Daeyang would still survive if Choi Taemin was there.

Suddenly, someone tapped Woosung's shoulder from behind.

"Haha, we finally meet. I am Choi Taemin from Daeyang."

Behind Choi Taemin were Choi Gitae and Choi Gichul. Woosung forced a smile on his face and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you."
