Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 356

After finishing their meal, Oh Taek-gyu and Min Ha-young got into the car and went to the cafe. The car that Taek-gyu drove today is Raven.

Min Ha-young was surprised.

“I bought another car. This is a new silver car. Is it really self-driving?”

“Huh. I guess.”

After setting the route, the car moved along the road on its own. Min Ha-young was curious and did not know what to do, but Taek-gyu was not impressed as he had originally ridden the AD series.

The two arrived at a cafe in Yeonnam-dong and sat down. Min Ha-young had a vanilla latte, and Taek-gyu had a strawberry latte.

Min Ha-young frequently visited the site and checked her reaction. It is surprising no matter how much you think about it, the cartoons she drew are floating on the main portal of her portal site.

Currently, there are over 100 webtoons that are officially serialized on Neoteen. There aren’t just one or two popular works, and it’s amazing to be in the top 5 of them.

There are a lot of popular works in the top ranks, but it won’t be impossible to aim for the top spot if the current trend continues.

Perhaps thanks to the popularity of Lost Fantasy, Min Ha-young’s webtoon was translated into English and Japanese as soon as it was uploaded, even though it was not officially exported, and was distributed on overseas sites.

“There is already talk of serialization on overseas sites. I guess they are considering a simultaneous serialization with the Japanese side.”

As she continued to smile and look at her site, Min Ha-young’s expression suddenly darkened.

“What is it?”

“Oh, no. There are malicious comments.”

Taek-gyu looked at the phone. Most of the comments were funny, but the number of malicious comments was not too great.

‘Hack No Jam’, ‘Even if I draw, I’ll draw better than this’, ‘It’s not worth even 1 star’, ‘Don’t paint over the lost fantasy image and fold the series’, ‘How about stopping drawing and learning techniques?’ and so on.

“If there are many comments, it is natural that there will be many malicious comments.”

Unlike the days when comic books were published, webtoons serialized on the web receive a real-time response from readers. This is a double-edged sword for writers.

“If it is a correct point, you can accept it and fix it, if it is not, just ignore it. If it’s just for fun anyway, I’ll watch it while swearing.”

Min Ha-young nodded her head.

“Well, it is. ok Ah! I have something to give you.”

“What?”

“Don’t be surprised to see it.”

“Huh. I won’t be surprised.”

Min Ha-young pulled something out of her bag.

“braided!”

“Ugh!”

She said she wouldn’t be surprised, but Taek-gyu was startled. What she showed me was none other than her concert tickets.

It’s not just a classical concert… … .

“It’s a ticket to the Lost Fantasy Orchestra. You know how hard it is to get this?”

The beginning of the Lost Fantasy Orchestra dates back to the end of last year. The Korean Symphony Orchestra needed to renovate its concert hall. Here, the vice president of OTK Company supported the cost of 2.7 billion won and requested that Lost Fantasy be played as an orchestra.

The Korean Symphony Orchestra accepted the proposal and completely remodeled the Korea Music Center, including seat replacement, sound equipment replacement, and bathroom repair.

In the meantime, the members practiced the game music arranged by the orchestra diligently every day. In order to understand the story and background of the music, I studied the world view as a group or played a game myself (there were some members who really became fans of Lost Fantasy).

The Korea Music Center has completed renovations in a modern style, and the concert is soon approaching this weekend.

The recording was completed before the performance, and OTK Games decided to play the background music for mobile and online in an orchestral version as a temporary event.

It was initially started as a commemoration for fans on the 30th anniversary of the Lost Fantasy series. Even the media treated it as an unusual event.

However, the atmosphere changed when Lost Fantasy Online became a hit all over the world and Shigeru Ichikawa announced the development of a VRMMORPG.

This is the biggest project in the history of gaming, and if successful, it will create tremendous added value. Game companies, publishing companies, fund companies, and financial companies have already jumped in or considered investment. The Netherlands GPFG, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, has already announced its intention to invest in development costs and has entered into negotiations.

As interest in Lost Fantasy exploded, interest in orchestra performances also increased. However, hundreds of seats have already been sold out by Lost Fantasy fans.

The atmosphere heated up, and the price of the ticket soared even more. There were a lot of requests to increase the number of performances, but it was difficult to do so because there were schedules for overseas performances.

Taek-gyu took the ticket and looked at it. Even for game music, as it is an orchestra performance, the cheapest ticket is 100,000 won.

However, the ticket Min Ha-young brought is a VIP seat.

“How did you get this?”

Min Ha-young said proudly.

“OTK Games Korea sent me congratulations on starting the webtoon series.”

“Ah… … .”

What useless things are you doing there?

It’s a very frustrating situation. Unsurprisingly, this concert was sponsored and hosted by Taek-gyu Oh.

Min Ha-Young said with a slight blush on her face.

“Hey, is it time for that day? You like Lost Fantasy.”

“It is, but… … .”

The Seoul concert will be held over three days. On the first day of the concert, Hayashi Kondo, the music director for the Lost Fantasy series, also decided to come.

Taek-gyu and Jin-hoo are already scheduled to attend.

By the way, the ticket that Min Ha-young brought is also the first day!

In an instant, an arrogant thought ran through Taek-gyu’s head.

‘It’s going to be like this. Am I compelled to reveal my identity?’

Min Ha-young is Taek-gyu’s high school classmate. While working in CA, she had in-depth discussions about comics and games.

After graduating, she lost contact with her, but she reunited through multiple stages. Taek-gyu hid her identity and helped her draw manga again. She didn’t want to keep hiding, she tried to tell when the time was right.

The problem is that once you start hiding it, it becomes more difficult to tell.

So she didn’t keep talking until now… … Now she is also a webtoon writer for a large portal site.

Could it be possible to reveal your identity slowly?

Taek-gyu made up his mind and opened his mouth.

“It’s true… … .”

“You know that this performance was planned by the vice president of OTK Company, right?”

“… … Huh?”

Min Ha-young said with her rabbit-like eyes shining.

“Don’t you think he’s really great? He was the one who revived Lost Fantasy in the first place. If the vice president hadn’t invested, neither LFM nor LFO would have been able to come out. Then I wouldn’t have even drawn a Lost Fantasy webtoon. Should I say thank you if I ever see you at a concert?”

“… … .”

“But who is it? Are you hiding your identity from the people around you?”

Taek-gyu asked softly.

“If someone you know did that, how would you feel?”

Min Ha-young frowned.

“I feel completely betrayed. Just thinking about it makes me feel bad.”

“Ugh!”

“lets think. Doesn’t it feel like a complete blow to the back of the head? It’s not like I’m playing with people because I have a lot of money. is not it?”

Taehyung quickly nodded his head.

“That’s right.”

It’s probably best not to say it.

“Ah! Did you see the video of OTK Company and the leisure club discussion? That was a big issue. The deputy head’s face didn’t appear and his voice changed a bit, but strangely, his tone was a bit familiar. It’s as if you’ve heard it somewhere often?”

Taehyung was perplexed.

“That’s right?”

“Somehow, the whole time I was talking with you today, that video kept coming to mind. That’s what I’m thinking right now, but it seems like I have a similar tone to you… … .”

Min Ha-Young blurs the tip of her words, and she immediately stares at Oh Tae-Gyu. For a moment, they looked at each other through the glasses.

Min Ha-young smiled and asked like a joke.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the vice president of OTK Company? For example, OTK is the abbreviation for Oh Taek-gyu?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Taek-gyu averted his gaze.

At that moment, Min Ha-young remembered her past events. How did you get 10 billion won in your bank account? How did Bansomem’s CEO and prosecutors move to destroy the JG blockchain? And why did Hana Yang and the president of CL Chem come to the party?

Surely this explains everything. Still, she couldn’t believe it.

OTK Company has made numerous investments and has grown to become the world’s largest company. The vice president of such a company is Taek-gyu Oh?

“Hey, such a nonsensical thing could actually happen… … .”

But at that moment, Taek-gyu’s cell phone on the table vibrated. Unsurprisingly, the name ‘Gang Jin-hoo’ was floating on the screen.

Taek-gyu said to Min Ha-young, who was perplexed.

“But it actually happened.”

Min Ha-young jumped up and shouted.

“what? Maybe the friend I live with was Jinhoo Kang!?”

People around her turned their heads in surprise, and realizing her mistake, she sat back down with her mouth shut.

After a while, Min Ha-young, who came to her senses, gulped down the vanilla latte in front of her.

‘Isn’t that hot?’

But she asked as if Min Ha-Young was okay.

“Why did you lie to me all this time?”

“No, what… … Could it be that she didn’t give out more information than necessary rather than cheating? TMI was restrained.”

“Are you kidding me now? How much money do you have?”

“I don’t know either. It’s not money until you sell it.”

The richest person in the world is Jinhu Kang, no matter what anyone says. And the second richest person is Oh Taek-gyu. Through successive investment successes, the value of OTK Company has exceeded 1 trillion dollars, and Oh Taek-gyu’s assets also exceeded 20 million dollars.

From the perspective of her Min Ha-young, it was hard to understand how large the amount was.

“Hey, didn’t you just make a lot of money with cryptocurrency?”

In fact, there are often people who have hit the jackpot with cryptocurrencies.

So, she thought that she was also friendly with the CEO of Bansome. He originally liked games, so he may have met by chance with an official from OTK Games Korea.

“Ah! That’s right. I created an OTK company with that money, but I didn’t even know Jinhoo would grow the company this much.”

“… … .”

I was shocked and couldn’t get the words out.

After she became a webtoon writer, she thought that she would be able to stand by her side proudly… … .

Min Ha-young was in tears.

‘The vice president of OTK Company is too much!’

* * *

The Korea Music Center was neatly renovated and opened anew. Today is the first day of the Lost Fantasy Orchestra. The concert hall was full of people for the first time in a long time.

I arrived at the concert hall early with Taek-gyu and greeted the people of the Korean Symphony Orchestra. CEO Park Hye-jin, conductor Jang Ki-hoon, and members expressed their gratitude for the support.

CEO Park Hye-jin said.

“To be honest, at first I was a bit skeptical about performing game music as an orchestra. But now I have changed my mind. Thanks to this, it was a great opportunity to introduce classical music and the Korean Symphony Orchestra to the world. And I also fell in love with the Lost Fantasy series.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I nodded.

Even when Taek-gyu spoke up, I was like, ‘What does this mean? But I’m sure it’ll be such a success.

Apart from profits, it was a great help in promoting the game and popularizing the classics.

We stayed indoors where no reporters could enter and greeted people. People from the business world and people from the game industry, who had made close acquaintances with game regulation issues the other day, came in one after another.

Chairman Im Jin-yong and President Lim Su-mi brought their children.

“You must be busy, but you came.”

“Even if you are busy, you have to live a cultural life. It’s been a long time since a concert.”

I also greeted the children. President Im Jin-yong’s daughter, embarrassed, hid behind her father and bowed her head.

Should I give my kids pocket money at this time?

Henry and Hyunjoo’s sister came together.

Henry in a suit is still handsome and handsome, and Hyun-joo noona took off her glasses for a while and decorated it. Honey dripped between the two of them with their arms folded.

Hyunjoo’s older sister shook her head.

“I didn’t know I would be attending a concert like this.”

“Taekyu did another thing.”

If not Taek-gyu Oh, who would do this?

After a while, Ellie, who had stopped by the hairdresser, arrived.

“I’m here, Jinhoo.”

She wore a red wine off-the-shoulder dress that fully exposed her shoulders, and she wore enamel high heels. Perhaps it was because she wore earrings and necklaces and even banged her hair, so she exuded a completely different charm than when she was working.

Ellie asked me.

“how is it? Fit well?”

So pretty it makes her heart pound.

“She’s pretty, but isn’t her breasts too narrow?”

I’m worried that other men’s eyes will pour in.

Then Ellie sticks out her tongue slightly.

“Hey, everyone wears this kind of thing these days.”

Ellie naturally folded her arms.

“If you’re worried, Jinhoo can cover it up like this.”

“I see.”

While I was greeting Eli and her boss and presidents, I saw young women from the business world crowding around Taek-gyu.
