Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 286

The Nobel Peace Prize is controversial every year because the concept of peace itself is subjective and ambiguous. However, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry must have achievements and achievements that can be recognized by both academia and the public.

Korea earns a living from various high-tech products such as semiconductors, displays, and smartphones, but has not produced a single science award winner.

No, it wasn’t that much, and the candidates didn’t get it right. But this time, Professor Ho-Min Kim has finally been named as a strong candidate!

-Five! Nobel Prize in Chemistry! Is there finally a science award winner?

-Isn’t it Jinhoo Kang who applied for Professor Homin Kim anyway?

– You are now the director of the OTK Research Center.

-If both of them win the Nobel Prize this time, will OTK Company produce two winners?

– it’s long Otaku Company! Proud to be a Korean company.

– Isn’t that an American company?

– What does it matter? It doesn’t matter that Koreans ride.

– I am very excited to see what kind of gensei will be placed by Rep. Lee Jeong-hye.

Several members of the Liberal People’s Party provoked a match over my being mentioned as a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, but they kept their mouths shut against Professor Ho-Min Kim.

The New Political Party, on the other hand, welcomed it with comments.

“The New Political Party wishes Professor Ho-min Kim to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This is an achievement that will go down in the history of science in Korea and a feat that proves the excellence of basic science in Korea.”

The party leader, floor leader, and middle-level lawmakers stormed into the research center without contact, saying they would meet Professor Kim Ho-min.

Professor Ho-min Kim, who unexpectedly welcomed them, took a picture together without knowing English, and the picture covered the news and newspapers.

It didn’t end here.

The first-time lawmakers visited Hankuk University as a group and the Seoseong SB plant, which produces OTK batteries, and some lawmakers competed for the ‘Act on Support and Investment for the Promotion of Basic Science’, also known as the ‘Kim Ho-Min Act’.

It was not made by collecting the opinions of the people concerned, and there is no way that a bill that was made in haste by mixing it up here and there is not the right content. The problem is that there are many doctors and lawyers among members of the National Assembly, but there are no scientists.

The scientific community was shocked.

In the meantime, he pretended not to know when he was asking for support, but now he is trying to jump on the issue by attaching Professor Ho-Min Kim’s name to a law that doesn’t even sound like a word.

Taek-gyu looked at the article and said.

“No, what did Ji-deul do to put a spoon on someone else’s table?”

“… … .”

This is why I hate politicians. So I sent back all the politicians who came to shake hands and take pictures.

Domestic media and foreign media flocked to OTK Company. It’s rare for a company to have two Nobel Prize winners at the same time.

Interview requests poured in, but both me and Professor Homin Kim declined. Team leader Jeong Ki-hong just issued an official press release.

The staff were also excited. Should I give a bonus if I win the prize?

Another place I was excited about was Korea University. The reason is, of course, that both me and Professor Homin Kim are from Korea University.

It is not easy to produce two Nobel Laureates from the same university.

Which organization is best suited to addressing various issues?

It is an online betting site, not a group of experts or a research institute. Here, you can bet on all kinds of topics.

As well as horse racing and bicycle racing, weather, sports, elections, voting results, etc. This includes who will be awarded the Nobel Prize.

In fact, an expert’s opinion is the result of a sober judgment, but at the same time, external factors such as the institution to which the person belongs, the organization he supports, and the influence of the government also play a big role. But with anonymous betting sites, you don’t have to worry about these things.

Taehyung nodded his head and said.

“Everyone lies. But no one lies with their money.”

According to a betting site, it was almost certain that I, President Ronald, and Professor Mohan shared the Nobel Peace Prize, and Professor Homin Kim had a 50% chance of winning.

I headed to the OTK Lab with Taek-gyu. When we arrived nearby, the first thing we noticed was the banners hanging all over the place.

Some bets are made by local politicians, and some are bets by ordinary citizens.

“Did this country not get a Nobel Prize and have any regrets?”

Thanks to the development of OTK batteries, Professor Homin Kim sat on a cushion of money. He is probably the richest professor in Korea.

I was curious to see how friendly he was with the money he had earned so far, but seeing him after a long time, there is no such thing as a beggar.

His hair was messy, and his clothes were so dirty that he didn’t know when they were washed. My face was glistening with dog oil because I didn’t wash my face.

This is also true of other researchers. Everyone was sobbing as if they hadn’t slept properly.

“I bought some pizza. Everyone eat it.”

I handed over a dozen boxes of M pizzas that I had brought in the car, and the researchers ate them like zombies.

I told Professor Homin Kim.

“I take a little break.”

“When you’re done taking a break, when do you study and when do you experiment?”

Professor Homin Kim collaborated with Seoseong SB Research Center to continuously improve the performance of OTK batteries while researching wireless charging technology.

“Wireless charging has been commercialized in smartphones and other electronic devices, but electric vehicles are still in the experimental stage. Wireless charging with magnetic induction is possible when the car is put in the parking lot, but the problem is that it does not come out as fast as wired charging. In order to use it in practice, it is necessary to increase the efficiency by at least 90% compared to wired charging.”

Now, a person has to directly plug the cord into the charging port. I plan to change this to a wireless charging method that automatically charges when the car is placed in the parking lot.

The fully-charged car automatically starts and moves to the normal parking area. As the car charges itself when not in use, there is no need to worry about charging.

It may seem like a distant future when you hear such a story, but it can be implemented without difficulty even with the current technology. Efficiency is just an issue.

“The key is, after all, the battery.”

OTK batteries are being produced first as small batteries at the Seoseong SB plant, and large-sized batteries for automobiles have started production at the TS Company plant in the US.

Seosung Electronics has actively installed OTK batteries in new smartphones and laptops. In a situation where the performance of electronic products has been leveled up, the long usage time is a sufficient marketing point.

Other companies such as NPL and MS have also received requests for battery supply, but it is difficult to supply them to Seosung Electronics with the current production volume.

The situation was similar for large-sized automobile batteries.

Originally, when TS Company was built, if production was stable, it was going to supply batteries to other automakers like Nikola’s Giga Plant.

But things have changed a bit since then. OTK batteries have been developed, and the electric vehicle plant is continuing to expand.

We don’t know if sales plummet, and we’ll probably run out of supplies.

Battery and electric vehicle makers started developing their own technologies, but it was difficult to keep up with the performance of OTK batteries no matter how much they improved the performance of the existing NCM batteries.

We sat in Professor Homin Kim’s lab.

It’s still messy and messy. As if he slept intermittently, there was a folding bed spread out on one side.

Professor Homin Kim gave me a coffee mix, and I took it and drank it.

“I hope to win the Nobel Prize soon.”

Professor Ho-min Kim smiled mischievously.

“What is the Nobel Prize? There are many people who have done more great things than me. There is also the Stafford Bear team, which has made research achievements in molecular chemistry this time. There is also Malcolm Gladwell, who developed the cryo-electron microscope.”

“Isn’t that still not as good as developing a new material to replace cobalt?”

The price of cobalt, which had soared, continued to plummet after the development of OTK batteries, and now it has fallen more than 70 percent from its peak.

Hedge funds, which were speculating due to the cobalt price crash, suffered huge losses, and the Congolese rebels, who were occupying the cobalt mines, cut off their funds, weakening their power and ending a civil war.

So, some joked about whether we should give the Peace Prize rather than the Chemistry Prize.

I said confidently.

“Obviously the professor will ride.”

Taehyung also nodded his head.

“of course. For sure.”

Professor Homin Kim waved his hand.

“Don’t say things like that. If I can’t ride like this, I’m sold out and I can’t even lift my head.”

The reason I’m so sure is because I’ve seen the foreknowledge, but I can’t tell you that directly.

Professor Homin Kim changed the topic.

“By the way, looking at this motor show, other companies’ technological prowess wasn’t that great.”

“I was a little surprised too.”

Iver demonstrated near-complete autonomous driving technology, and Ford and GM also came out with new electric vehicles with significantly improved mileage and charging speed.

Although the methods are different, the ultimate goal is the same. It is the integration of means of transportation using driverless vehicles.

Karos is also preparing to expand into ridesharing and ridesharing. In electric vehicles, you will face Nikola and BID, and in ride-sharing, Iver, Dada Chuxing, and Crab are competitors.

Whoever wins this competition will take the supremacy of the automobile industry in the 21st century.

Taek-gyu asked.

“But why are there so few Nobel Prize winners in science in Korea?”

“Because we didn’t properly invest and support.”

Whatever you invest in, it pays off. Because money doesn’t lie.

Unlike practical science that can be used right away, basic science takes a long time to grow and bloom. For this reason, it is true that both the government and corporations have neglected basic science.

Professor Homin Kim said.

“So, I’m going to use the money I earned this time to invest in basic science. It is not that there are no proper scientists in Korea. There is just no proper support system.”

Taegyu said.

“But if you apply for such a thing, don’t you omit all of the above?”

Professor Homin Kim scratched his head.

“I can’t say no.”

It is a spectacle to see the behavior of professors embezzling research funds. They pay salaries to master’s and doctoral graduate students and get them back in cash later, or they take bankbooks and cards and withdraw them themselves.

The reason why we cannot report even if we receive such unfair treatment is that the lives of masters and Ph.D. depend on the words of the professor. And the academia is very narrow.

If you don’t plan on getting this floor at all, it’s unthinkable to accuse the professor of corruption.

He who was in the current position would know better than anyone on this matter.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“So, I tried to make a foundation myself. So that we can select and support people who are really meaningful and passionate.”

You don’t want to make money and be sympathetic, but you’re thinking of investing in the scientific world.

“I feel sorry for the chemistry students at Hankuk University.”

“Why?”

“I lost such a good professor.”

At my words, Professor Homin Kim coughed in vain because he was embarrassed.

“Hmm, thank you for thinking like that.”

As I was getting to work and getting things done, I got a phone call.

“Hello professor.”

Professor Myung-Jun Kim said with a smile.

[I didn’t know my student would receive the Nobel Peace Prize.]

“I haven’t received it yet.”

[You’ll get it anyway. If we had to say that it was a competitive candidate, it would be the UNHCR, but it was awarded there before. If I don’t, will Ronald stay still?]

“It is.”

According to an anonymous White House official, they have already set up a place for a table in the Oval Office.

Why the hell does this person like the Nobel Prize so much?

[Not long ago, the conservative group also went to school once. what was that Was it a pan-national action committee that prevented Kang Jin-hoo from winning the Nobel Prize? I sent a lot of letters to school, but I’m working hard to send them to you.]

“… … Fine. Just burn it, please.”

[How are you doing these days?]

“I’m just working hard.”

[You should come to school once. Did you forget what we were supposed to teach before?]

There are still a lot of things I need to take care of, so I thought I should visit and see him.

“When shall we go?”

[Come to play on Monday. I’ll buy you coffee.]

“Okay.”
