Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 77

For a moment, the hall was quiet.

What Ronald said was shocking.

Detroit, once a symbol of the glory of manufacturing, is now an abandoned city. More than 20 percent of the population has fled, and skyscrapers that cost tens of millions of dollars have been left vacant.

The street lamp lights went out and the road was burned all over. Even basic services such as water and sewage and security were difficult to expect.

The governor, who was elected on a promise to revive the stagnant city, reiterated that the state had no money.

But you’re going to invest $20 billion here?

At that moment, a cry rang out.

“Liar!”

It was a middle-aged woman who supported Diane who shouted that out. The microphone was still in her hand.

“You’re going to change your mind once you’re elected! How do you believe that? Did you get confirmation of her investment? Where is the guarantee that that promise will be kept?”

Contrary to the expectation that he would deny it, Ronald meekly nodded his head.

“That’s right. Politicians always pour out various promises during election season. But after being elected, they do not keep anything. I, too, have been deceived countless times by the words of politicians. When she also campaigns for her

She lives with her lies in her mouth every time. But I am different. Whether I become president or not, the investment will come true!”

Diane’s supporters booed as if waiting.

“Wow!”

“lie! lie!”

As the boos grew stronger, Ronald smiled inwardly.

“Are you lying? You don’t believe me? So I have someone here to prove my point!”

A man came up on the podium. People were surprised.

His name is Hubble Butler.

He is none other than the governor of Michigan, to which Detroit is a part. The important thing is that he’s a Democrat, not a Republican, and he’s helping Diane’s election.

But why did he show up at the Republican presidential campaign?

He had a reason why he had to. A few days ago, while the two of them met, Ronald threatened him.

If you don’t want to help him, he’ll negotiate with Wisconsin or Ohio, not Michigan.

No, there are a number of states that want to invest in the Rust Belt.

If it is revealed that the $20 billion offer has been kicked out, it will surely come under heavy criticism. If that happens, re-election will cross the water.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t even a bad offer. If it is known that he is actively seeking investment, re-election is not a problem.

So he gladly attended Ronald’s campaign and accepted Mike.

Governor Hubble said confidently as he toured the rally.

“Everything Ronald said is true! Currently, the state is negotiating with the OTK Company, and the investment will be implemented immediately. I will help Ronald take the lead in bringing Detroit back to life!”

You may be punished by the party for this. Even so, it doesn’t matter. If there is a problem, it is enough to change the party.

It is the citizens of Michigan who are gathered here, not the Democrats, that make him governor.

When even the governor of the opposition party came forward to admit it, no one could deny him any further.

Ronald raised his hands high, as if everyone were looking for it. “From this moment on, there is only one principle in America!”

And he spoke slowly and again and again.

“America First!”

America comes first!

What principle could be more important to American workers?

Kevin felt her heart pound.

The factory door opens, and you can work again. You can pay your debts and support your children by getting a salary.

You can go from being a useless unemployed person to becoming a good head of household again.

After all, his choice to support Ronald was right!

He saw his friends who had come with him. The friends who had supported Diane until just a moment ago all shouted in unison.

“America comes first!”

“Wow!”

A shout rang out as if the rally had left.

Ronald kept shouting with exaggerated hand gestures and facial expressions.

“I’m sick of lying women and the press talking nonsense. While she ruined America in the White House and Congress, I’m here to change America’s reality! Now tell me. Who is a liar? who tells the truth

are you talking Is it her or is it me? CNN or me?”

The answer seemed to have been decided.

“Ronald! Ronald!”

The hands of those who supported Diane went down. The pickets and banners that symbolized Diane and the Democratic Party disappeared one by one.

“Wow!”

Ronald watched the scene from the middle of the podium.

Over and over, his name rang out.

“Ronald Stamper!”

“Ronald Stamper!”

Ronald raised his right hand and shouted loudly.

“Make America Great Again!”

It was his campaign slogan and his pledge to restore America’s glory.

Up until now, you would have thought it was a lie. But he showed that it was real here.

Voters gathered at the rally shouted with one accord.

“Make America great again!”

The rally was truly a melting pot of enthusiasm. He felt like he was watching a rock star perform.

The scene was captured on camera and spread all over the world.

Press articles poured in. Ronald’s Detroit campaign video garnered over 1 million views on YouTube in just one day.

Taek-gyu, watching the video, stuck out his tongue.

“I’m serious. What kind of idol concert are you watching?”

“I didn’t become a Republican candidate for nothing.”

We handed over the card, and Ronald put it to good use.

Until recently, people thought that Ronald was just talking about a manufacturing revival to win his vote. But he put that promise into action not after he became president, but before the election.

While the benefits focused primarily on Michigan, the entire Rust Belt went wild. Even more encouraging is that voters are starting to take Ronald’s words seriously.

Thanks to this, the approval rating, which had been declining, rebounded by 3 percent at once. The actual approval rating is probably much higher than this.

Although there is still a 10% gap with Diane, it is an opportunity for a reversal.

“Actually, setting up a factory in the United States is not a very good option.”

Taek-gyu asked.

“why?”

“The labor cost is high, and the corporate tax is high.”

In the meantime, even American companies have closed factories in the United States and built factories in emerging countries. And industrial areas were rapidly deteriorating.

But we decided to invest 20 billion dollars. In Korean Won, it is a whopping 22 trillion won.

Ronald promised various aids along with tax cuts. For this promise to be kept, he must become president.

For some reason, I thought that I would be very insulted, but now that I am on the same boat, I have no choice but to go all the way to the end.

“How is Diane going to react?”

Taek-gyu put his hand on my shoulder and said.

“I’m probably swearing at you a lot by now.”

“·················ogue.”

An emergency meeting was held at the Democratic Election Camp.

Key election officials, including candidate Diane, gathered in one place. They came up with the name OTK Company in their minds.

‘These motherfuckers…’

It was as if the election had already ended. But suddenly these guys joined hands with Ronald and changed the course of public opinion.

Diane tried to put on a calm expression.

She said, ‘I should have checked what card he was holding.’

I never imagined that a single investment company would be a variable. He even refused to meet him because he thought he had the perfect victory.

‘Did you go to Ronald because I didn’t meet you?’

If she had gotten her hands on her OTK company, she could have completely solidified her position by embracing the working class.

But it is already too late to regret it now.

Fortunately, public opinion has not been completely reversed yet.

Even if it goes beyond a few Rust Belt weeks, it’s not enough to disrupt the trend. She still had over 300 electoral votes.

If she only takes care of the region, she will be able to become president without a hitch.

Diane bit her lip slightly.

“Please schedule a Florida campaign.”

That was her mistake.

Even if she canceled all schedules, she should have rushed to the Rust Belt right away. So she had to appease the white workers.

Then, even if the Rust Belt had no choice, other local working classes could be embraced. However, rather than relying on the victory of an uncertain area, she wanted to persuade the public in a certain area.

And strategists, including Joel, agreed with her.

When Diane moved to Florida, Ronald waited patiently, ‘She completely abandoned the Rust Belt,’ she posted on social media, criticizing her.

Meanwhile, the public sentiment was moving in the other direction.

Carlos headquarters in Silicon Valley.

We met Daryl and his crew in the conference room.

I said to them.

“You may have heard of the fact that OTK Company is investing $20 billion in the American automobile industry. We are currently negotiating with the State of Michigan.”

Negotiations are, of course, up to Hyunjoo noona. He was already busy with the Korean branch, but because of us, he couldn’t sleep.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I plan to leave the lab here and move Carlos’ headquarters to Detroit.”

Daryl was perplexed by my words.

“Hey, what does that mean?”

“Caros will become the mainstay of the automobile industry in the future. To do that, it would be better to move the headquarters to a place where the factory is located.”

Ryan objected.

“If collaboration with the automaker that OTK Company will take over is a problem…?”

I shook my head.

“It’s not a collaboration. There will be no need for collaboration in the future. The car company will be acquired by Karos, not OTK Company.”

“Yes?”

If you run separate software and hardware companies, it is difficult to coordinate if there is a disagreement. So, I thought that I would rather have Carlos as a holding company and make an automobile company a subsidiary under it.

I saw Daryl.

“Can you?”

his eyes fluttered. You know what I mean.

As I just said, he would be the CEO of a company worth over $20 billion. Of course, although most of the shares are owned by us.

It was not a decision I made alone, but after discussion with Taek-gyu and Hyun-joo noona.

Daryl has led Karos so far with the determination to create perfect autonomous driving. And he did not break his will to develop despite external pressure when he was taken over by Eunseong Car, and went his own way.

If so, we will definitely be able to do well in the future.

said Sergei.

“Are you in a position to make these important decisions for yourself? What is the opinion of OTK Company?”

“My words are the words of OTK Company.”

“why······?”

I didn’t hide it any more, I said it proudly.

“Because I am the CEO of OTK Company.”

“·················ogue.”

Everyone was silent. In the beginning, if you are too surprised, you will be at a loss for words for a while.

After a while, Sergei was astonished.

“No, that’s ridiculous!”

“I am sorry to have come to tell you now. I didn’t mean to cheat.”

I looked around the officers of Carlos and said,

“As before, there will be support, but no interference. Make the car you want. Wouldn’t you like to see the car made by Carlos run on the road?” After a while, Daryl said with a firm expression.

“I’ll do it.”
