places I’ve never been
8th floor of Sinaisoft headquarters.
It was a place that could be called the heart of the company. Two data centers built across the country. And it was because it was in charge of three data centers around the world. There was tension there. said the man with the headset.
“Report on readiness for each service.”
– Singapore ready.
– Hong Kong ready.
– Ready for London.
– China ready.
·········.
I heard the radio from the people in charge of the regional servers. After about 5 minutes, the preparation completion report was finished.
“It’s ready.”
Seungho nodded his head slightly. Major executives such as Hwang Ho-geun and Choi Ki-hoon, who were watching the situation together, looked at the huge screen installed in the situation room with tense expressions.
One Coin.
Because its release was imminent. asked the secretary next to him.
“Shall we proceed with the service opening?”
“Yes.”
After that, the app was updated, and each server started running. Unlike the port’s Android, the ONE phone’s app could be checked the moment it was uploaded.
1 minute later.
The secretary reported.
“The service has been opened. I think we will be able to check the endroids tomorrow or so.”
Seungho nodded and entered the app store of his ONE phone.
One Tok.
one search.
Even the recently launched SNS called Ration.
All updates were displayed. I tried to update the app one by one by clicking on it. Another minute passed and a wallet appeared in the menu of the app. The secretary confirmed that.
“I will send 100 coins.”
The secretary who operated the cell phone sent a coin. Soon, a text appeared on Seungho’s screen.
-100 Coins were given as a gift.
When I clicked on it, 100 coins were created in my wallet. This time, I tried to touch the currency exchange button.
– The currency of the current country will be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio.
-Would you like to exchange money?
-Yes/No.
I just clicked ‘yes’. Then, the number 0 won under it changed to 100 won. It was said to be working normally. Around the time Seungho finished checking, reports from all over the world began to come in.
– Russian test completed.
– Completed Chinese testing.
– UK test completed.
-Hong Kong test completed.
-Singapore test completed.
·········.
Contacts arrived from more than 100 countries excluding the US and Europe. It took over an hour just to complete the test. When the tests were all over, the secretary spoke.
“One coin test in 112 countries has been completed. We plan to test it again when we update the Android in the future.”
“What happened to the countries that said they would use fiat currency as our One Coin?”
“The first application is underway in the North African regions of Senegal, Morocco, and Algeria. It is due to be completed by next month. After that, it seems that the application will proceed gradually down to the area below.”
“What about the boys?”
“We are currently negotiating. We have received calls from 31 of Africa’s 54 official countries to use One Coin as their official currency.”
Seungho nodded his head.
“There are 23 places left.”
“Yes. Negotiations are underway there as well on the condition of building infrastructure such as smart farms and smart cities. I think it will be finalized within the next month.”
“I know there are many challenges due to conflict, but Africa is the rising sun. Please do your best to eat all 54 countries. If there is a problem, please report it immediately.”
“Yes.”
“How is the progress in Southeast Asia?”
“Currently, only one country in Bangladesh has agreed to use One Coin as a fiat currency. Other countries are still under discussion. They promised a large-scale investment, but it seems that public opinion has not been favorable yet.”
“Keep giving me carrots. If the internet is not available, the internet can be used even if the city promises to build an additional smart city if the city is poor.”
“all right.”
“Emerging markets are a must. That way, even developed countries will have an incentive to use One Coin as a fiat currency.”
At Seungho’s instructions, the secretary nodded his head again and again. After giving instructions on the rest of the small matters, Seungho continued his last words.
“And don’t forget to give incentives to the employees who have worked hard so far.”
After saying those words, Seungho got up from his seat. The service was being provided normally without a single error on the screen installed in the control room. At that moment, the nervous employees let out the breath they had been holding back here and there.

Blue house.
President Hong Sang-hoon was deep in thought with his brow furrowed.
“Did you launch One Coin?”
“Yes. I’ve just checked. It says that the service is running normally.”
“Huh… it’s like this in the end. What is the American reaction?”
“Right now, there is an atmosphere of restraint. Perhaps he is thinking of meeting and talking in person.”
On Hong Sang-hoon’s forehead, a deep inscription was engraved.
“Then it means that the news that the President of the United States is on vacation and is visiting Korea is true.”
“CEO Kang is said to be refusing to communicate at all when it comes to One Coin. So we have no choice but to meet in person.”
Hong Sang-hoon burst out laughing at those words.
“The fact that we have become an opponent where even US sanctions do not work … Can we act like that?”
According to Hong Sang-hoon, we are the government of the Republic of Korea.
He knew what it meant, but the secretary couldn’t bear to tell a lie.
“The government cannot.”
Hong Sang-hoon was also guessing. But when I actually heard it, it was true that my stomach hurt.
“···········”.
“There was a request from the party in this regard.”
“A request?”
“Yes. I would like to know the person most closely related to the city software in this government. It looks like it will be used as a card for the presidential election at the end of this year.”
“Isn’t that Secretary Park Shin-woo?”
“Yes. But he is still 38 years old. Being too young…”
The president knew. Unless it’s a crazy person or someone who goes against Sinai Soft, the presidential election to be held this year is unconditionally won by the Daemin Party to which he belongs.
– The era of per capita income of 40,000 dollars.
– Korea’s super boom.
– KOSPI surpassed three thousand points.
– North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.
-Unification visualization.
This has been achieved by the current government. Even the people knew that each achievement is a difficult task that cannot be achieved through effort alone. So that achievement led directly to the approval rating.
-The government’s approval rating is 82%.
It was higher than at the time of his inauguration and had a higher approval rating than any previous administration. And Hong Sang-hoon knew. That all of this is thanks to Sinaisoft.
“Hmm······.”
“It looks like the presidential election is fierce within the party. This time, as long as you are selected as a candidate for the Democratic Party, you will be unconditionally elected.”
Hong Sang-hoon, who was worried, asked.
“What do you think about the birth of the 30th president in Korea?”
Knowing the intention, the chief of staff could not answer right away. Hong Sang-hoon spoke slowly.
“Entrepreneurs in their 20s are taking over the world. I can’t shake the feeling that I need young blood to keep pace with him.”
“President, he has no political base yet. There will be strong opposition from the party. Moreover, he is only a level 4 scribe.”
“Haha, why is there no political basis? There is CEO Kang, who is trusted by 95% of the people.”
“···········”.
“Of course not right now. We still have some time left, so let’s see. If the bowl isn’t small, I think it’s worth a try.”
“all right. So how do we deliver it to the party?”
“Once you clean it up to the point that you need young blood. From the inside, the person most closely related to Sinasoft would be the head of the policy department.”
The chief of staff nodded.
“And I have one more thing to tell you.
“Are you talking about Kang’s wedding?”
“Yes. So far, the Russian President has confirmed the attendance. The President of the United States is on vacation and is due to attend. It is confirmed that several leaders of Southeast Asia have also expressed their intention to participate.”
“Hmm······.”
“Shall we take a vacation? At the current level of public opinion, the public will understand.”
“But it shows that politics and the chaebol are too close……”
“CEO Kang is not currently a chaebol among the people.”
“A great man… you mean?”
“Yes. Edison, who invented electricity, and von Neumann, who is said to have invented the computer. And Kang Seung-ho, the creator of artificial intelligence. This is the current public opinion.”
Hong Sang-hoon burst out laughing.
“He looks like a great man from some textbook.”
“It is also planned to be published in an actual textbook. Not only that, but it is being evaluated similarly in other countries as well. If there had been a computer-related award for the Nobel Prize, CEO Kang would have received it.”
“·················ogue.”
“If we set the frame of going to a great man who has made Korea shine, rather than collaborating with the political scene, it won’t be a problem. It is understood that dozens of opposition lawmakers have already expressed their intention to attend the wedding of Representative Kang to Sinaisoft. But for reasons of location and security, only one representative of the opposition has been allowed.”
The more I listened to the explanation, the stronger I felt that I had to go. Still, Hong Sang-hoon could not make a decision easily.
canonical adhesion.
It was because of the words that were deeply rooted in his mind.
“It may be rather rude for the president not to go when many leaders from around the world come.”
With those words, Sang-Hoon Hong finally came to a conclusion.

Samsung Station.
Dozens of agents in black suits were waiting on the roof of the Jisan Hotel. A huge helicopter slowly landed from the sky.
-stand by, stand by.
-eagle confirmation.
-clear.
-clear.
-clear.
The radio flew around, and the helicopter completely landed on the roof. The propeller slowly subsides, and bodyguards surround the helicopter. Soon the door opened and a man with white hair got out of the helicopter. And Seungho, who was waiting in front of him, appeared.
“Thank you for coming this far.”
The person who got off the helicopter was Edward Brook. He was the current president of the United States.
“Haha, it’s hard to see Young’s face, so you have to come in person.”
“I also wanted to meet you. But as you can see, I have to get married too, and I’ve been very busy lately.”
“Haha, of course. Finding a good partner is the most important thing in life.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Haha, unlike other things, it’s not something I can’t understand.”
another thing.
It wasn’t Seungho who didn’t know what it was. His brow furrowed slightly. But then he opened up his face and said.
“Why don’t you just stand and go inside? I think we have a lot to talk about.”
Edward nodded his head. Seungho walked next to him. Still, the story went on and on. From up close, it was a chatter, but from a distance, it was a fierce battle.
