places I’ve never been
Samseong Station Jisan Hotel. diamond hall.
In the midst of soothing classical music
Go Dong-man, who was invited, said while drinking a glass of champagne.
“I didn’t know that so many people would come… It’s even more amazing than I thought.”
Powerful players from Southeast Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East were gathered in one place. If you turn your eyes a little, important people in the political and business world are overflowing. Kim Hee-gun, who was with me, said quietly.
“Is this the influence of Sinaisoft?”
“·················ogue.”
at that time.
Another man quietly entered the dining room. Only Koh Dong, who was watching the scene, whispered quickly.
“You are here as a VIP.”
When Kim Hee-gun turned his head, President Hong Sang-hoon was entering the seat. I couldn’t just keep my seat. He got closer and bowed his head slightly.
“Are you here?”
“Haha, yes. It’s been a long time.”
“It seems like it’s been almost half a year.”
“There is always a lot of trouble.”
“Haha, yes.”
After a light greeting, Hong Sang-hoon took another step. From the top of each country to the presidents of the world’s leading companies being hit by the foot. It was because he couldn’t waste time on Kim Hee-gun alone. Kim Hee-gun drank a glass of champagne while looking at Hong Sang-hoon’s back.
“Today, Sunjin feels particularly small.”
Dongman Koh said looking at the people who visited the reception.
“Sunjin is growing day by day. They are different.”
Port’s Ryan.
Mango’s Tim Kelly.
GM Chairman Frederick Henderson.
It was the world-class companies that kicked it. Of course, Sunjin was also a large corporation that stood shoulder to shoulder with them. However, until recently, the market capitalization of Port and Mango was less than 1/3. Fortunately, the gap has been sharply filled recently.
“It is also thanks to the city software. That’s why I came here.”
There was bitterness in Kim Hee-gun’s words.
first mover.
It was because they did their best to have that name, but in the end, they could not escape the stigma of being a fast follower. Only Godong shook his head slightly.
“Of course it is, but it is also the management’s decision. To put it bluntly, in the next five years, half of the heads of companies you see today will be blown away.”
“Is that enough?”
“If you do not accept change, you will fall in the natural order. This is not my personal opinion. This is what is written in the newsletters of several consulting firms that only go to VIP clients.”
“Hmm······.”
“Thanks to the judgment of the Chairman, Sunjin Electronics is continuing its growth. Not only that, thanks to the smart city, Sunjin SDI is growing by over 20% every year thanks to zero construction.”
“I’m happy.”
“If we do not jump on the mega-trend of downtown software, the future is clear.”
Go Dong-man drank another glass of champagne. And I watched the people walking around the hall carefully. How many of them will survive in the next 5 years? No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t shake the thought that half of them would fly away.
Seungho was busy greeting Shin Ji-eun in the same space.
“As you may already know, this is President Hong Sang-hoon.”
“Hello. This is Shin Ji-eun.”
“Haha, as you can see on TV, you are beautiful.”
“Hehe, no. Thank you so much for coming this far.”
“I have a relationship with CEO Kang, so of course I have to come.”
Seungho lightly bowed his head.
“It must have been difficult, but thank you for attending.”
Then, Hong Sang-hoon gave a whisper.
“Other leaders should come when they come.”
Seungho nodded his head slightly.
“Haha, yes. So, please share a lot. I have to say goodbye again.”
Hong Sang-hoon smiled hard and nodded his head.
“Yes. Congratulations again.”
Hong Sang-hoon picked up a cup of Sampain from a wandering waiter. It was like being at the OECD G20 summit. As such, the wedding reception was attended by heads of state and many businessmen from around the world. His presence was fading.
‘If you haven’t come, you’re out of luck. I almost heard that.’
With that thought in mind, I started a conversation while sipping champagne. This is not only a reception hall, but also a place of diplomacy.
Perhaps the others thought the same, and they were fighting fiercely with their mouths.
A small waiting room on the other side of the reception hall.
Shin Ji-eun returned to there to relax and drank a sip of water.
“Whew…”
Seungho, who followed, asked.
“it’s okay?”
Shin Ji-eun shook her head nervously.
“no. It’s the first time I’ve been so nervous in my life as a celebrity.”
“The world’s Shin Ji-eun is nervous.”
“I was nervous when I first saw you.”
“So was I. I was nervous because she was so pretty.”
At that moment, Shin Ji-eun’s hardened expression softened a little.
“The joke is….”
“Don’t be too nervous. Because they’re all just the same. You don’t have to worry about how they will rate you.”
Shin Ji-eun’s expression softened a little more. Seungho spoke slowly.
“And to be honest, you don’t really care, do you? There are many more famous people than you.”
Shin Ji-eun raised her voice slightly.
“What!”
“Hahaha, honestly. President Hong Sang-hoon, President of Russia, Chairman of Fort. Chairman of Sunjin Electronics and Shin.G.?”
Shin Ji-eun’s cheeks are burning red.
“profit!”
Seungho wrapped his hands around Shin Ji-eun’s cheeks.
“So, don’t be too nervous. I think it’s just a light greeting.”
and side.
The moment they kissed her cheek, the door opened with a bang.
“Ji-eun!”
The person who came in with a lively voice was Shin Ji-eun’s colleague Ji Young-ae.
They were so close that they decided to have a daughter-in-law at this wedding.
“Hey, little girl.”
“Hmm… Hmmmm.”
Ji Young-ae covered her mouth with her hand and smiled mischievously.
“Oh my gosh, I just came in.”
“Oh, no.”
“Hmm… no.”
Ji Young-ae slowly took a step back.
“Ho-ho, no. Do what the two of you did. Because that’s the best way to unwind. Can I come in in 20 minutes? Because the author said that his brother is strong. You should come in in 30 minutes.”
Then Shin Ji-eun screamed.
“Ji Young-ae!”
“Ho-ho, take good care of your clothes so they don’t get wrinkled.”
Then he really closed the door and left. Seungho asked, swallowing dry saliva.
“That … the ‘power’ he spoke of is what I think it is, right?”
Shin Ji-eun screamed again this time.
“brother!”
It was a small commotion on the other side of the wedding reception.

US White House.
After a brief conversation with Seung-ho, Edward immediately got on the plane and returned to the White House. Although it was a vacation externally, internally, the State Councilors were in full force and holding a fierce meeting. Edward opened his mouth in a low voice.
“It is just a reconfirmation of an existing idea. They said they would push for a one-coin service. No matter what sanctions the U.S. imposes.”
Then the Minister of Finance raised his voice.
“I mean, we’re going to go in a river-to-river confrontation. Let’s try it somewhere. who will win It’s true that a single entrepreneur is fighting the United States. You see everything I live and live like a beggar.”
Then the Minister of Justice gave up.
“It must be tied to the antitrust laws somehow. I think we will have to sell the existing assets according to the law, impose a tax as a disciplinary measure, and recover the benefits given under the existing investment plan.”
Edward complained of frustration.
“It’s not that simple.”
“Is it because of AI-Government? I was against it from the beginning. You are entrusting the sovereignty of our government to private companies.”
The Secretary of State, watching the situation, snorted.
“Is there any alternative if I don’t use it?”
The finance minister did not stand still.
“Can’t we just do what we used to do?”
“Then there would be no way for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons or to win the long war against terrorism.”
If you let it go any longer, it’s a plate that first-class secrets will leak out. Edward raised his voice.
“Please stop it.”
At that moment, the two of them, who were approaching the extreme, shut their mouths at the same time.
“As some of you may not know, President Kang has made many sacrifices for the United States. Of course we paid a fair price, but it’s a bargain compared to the gains we’ve earned.”
“·················ogue.”
“It means that it is not enough in terms of justification and morality.”
After taking a deep breath, the Minister of Finance opened his mouth slowly.
“Then, the one coin itself has no choice but to bite and sag.”
“Hasn’t that already sent the World Bank President and IMF President? It can be used in the underground economy. could lead to a financial crisis. It can undermine currency sovereignty. We have already communicated our concerns, etc.”
“It’s about taking advantage of America’s strengths.”
“What are your strengths?”
“The power to print dollars.”
“That means….”
“Even so, the US economy is said to have passed a boom period and entered a recession. They use the Fed to print dollars and spread them all over the world. Before One Coin was established.”
“You may face massive inflationary pressures in the future.”
The Treasury Secretary shook his head at Edward’s concern.
“The times have changed. With the advent of artificial intelligence, it is said that the era of the 4th industrial revolution has completely arrived. Existing economic theories can no longer explain the future. Have you already experienced the 2008 financial crisis?”
Edward remembered.
2008.
During the worst economic crisis, the United States printed $2 trillion. Fortunately, the recession was averted and the pressures of deflation were lifted. Since then, the boom has been booming, even reaching new highs for the Dow Jones and the S&P 500. Until the city software shows up.
“Anyway, it is the orthodox that the status of the dollar will fall if One Coin starts to service properly. Before that, try to light a splendid firework. whether it works or not. You have nothing to lose anyway.”
“·················ogue.”
The voice of the Minister of Finance grew louder and louder.
“If that dollar flows into Africa, Southeast Asia, and around the world, it will form an American-friendly public opinion. Instead of taking the wealth of other countries by adopting America first as in the past, we are investing in printed dollars around the world.”
The other members of the State Council nodded slightly at the confident look. But Edward was still worried.
‘It’s a Wall Street mindset.’
The current finance minister was also from Wall Street. Quantitative easing in 2008 was also advice from a Wall Street man who had ruined the economy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the American economy is run by Wall Street people.
‘But there is no other alternative.’
Edward glanced around the State Councilors. Everyone kept their mouths shut, but couldn’t come up with any other alternatives.
radical quantitative easing.
With that card in front of him, Edward’s thoughts deepened.
