places I’ve never been
– The won-dollar exchange rate was broken by 1,000 won.
-Export company emergency. How far will the won’s appreciation go?
– Quantitative easing in the US. Throw the whole world into a whirlpool.
The US dollar was released around the world and the won continued to strengthen. Meanwhile, Sinasoft also announced an investment plan.
-Sinaesoft announced its 50 trillion won investment plan.
-One Coin, emerging as an emerging powerhouse in the Southeast Asian loan market.
The tran war for currency hegemony had begun. As time passed, the first smart city completion ceremony in the United States was held.
“Oh, my god!”
“Good Heavens!”
“Gosh!”
“Gee!”
“Blimey!”
Exclamations poured out among the attendees watching the demonstration. Seungho watched him silently. Kim Hee-gun, who was with me, shared a whisper.
“The response is good.”
“It has to be. It’s because we improved all the shortcomings of the smart city we built in Busan.”
“It seems that the sensor companies you acquired last time also worked quite hard. Performance has improved.”
“I did a lot of collaboration with Sinasoft engineers. And, crucially, we paid a large amount of incentives. Then, the results went up.”
“Haha, too.”
Kim Hee-gun lowered his voice.
“But what do you plan to do with One Coin?”
Seungho kept his mouth shut at Kim Hee-gun’s question. Then I coughed a bit.
“Hmm… Hmmmm.”
Kim Hee-gun’s gaze turned to the front again. And quickly got up. US President Edward Brook was approaching. Edward approached and held out his hand.
“Long time no see. President.”
“Hello.”
Edward’s gaze shifted to Seungho.
“It’s the first time since the wedding.”
“Hello.”
Edward nodded and slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s amazing. I think I can see why the world is crazy about Sinaisoft. Everything you see in the book has come true.”
“Haha, yes. thank you.”
“I should have noticed when I created Zero…”
Seungho smiled bitterly at the continuous praise.
‘Is this the same as sleeping with the enemy?’
The United States and the United States continued to fight each other by sprinkling money with each other. In the meantime, it was not difficult to see each other face-to-face and talk.
“thank you.”
“Is this smart city being built all over the world?”
“Yes. Six locations are planned in the US as well.”
“Actually, I think that a country without such a smart city may lose its competitiveness. Unless we make a living by tourism in nature, like in Northern Europe.”
“Smartphones, smart cars, smart cities. I think it’s a natural flow. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be the first to take the lead.”
“Fufu, you are too modest. Can’t you see people’s faces right now?”
Seungho slowly turned his gaze away. Thousands of people were mesmerized by the convenience of smart cities. He covered his mouth with his hands, unable to take his eyes off what was happening in the city.
Unmanned drones are for courier services, and driverless cars are used for taxis. Garbage just needs to be put in the bin, just like a sewerage system. Energy usage is measured and reported in minutes, and traffic lights are automatically adjusted according to vehicle flow.
And the eyes of those who watched it gradually turned to where Seungho was sitting. He had an awkward smile in his eyes as if he were looking at a celebrity.
“haha······.”
“It seems like it would be impossible to talk more here, so shall we change our seats for a while?”
Seungho also nodded at the president’s suggestion.
Security guards surrounded one side of the venue.
US President.
And Seungho sat down facing each other.
“The dollar index is down 10%. It means the dollar is depreciating in the market.”
“I have heard the story.”
“Reports have come up that if this condition continues, it will drop by 20% in the next month or so. If that happens, the US economy will also go beyond inflation and enter the beginning of hyperinflation. It will have the effect of increasing the price of imported goods by 20% at once.”
“You might see them walking around with dollars in their carts.”
Edward lowered his voice.
“The United States is the central axis of the global consumer market.”
“As you know, the axis has recently moved to emerging countries.”
“If America collapses, will the world be okay?”
“In Finland, Nokia went bankrupt, but it was fine.”
“Isn’t that a very different case?”
Seungho took a long breath and said in a very low voice.
“President, America will not perish. Why do you think the US will collapse if the dollar’s hegemony collapses? It’s just one of many hands America has.”
“So, even if we put down the dollar hegemony, does that mean that the United States can maintain the same momentum as it did in the past?”
“Rather, I want to ask you this. Is the US competitive edge only in the dollar?”
Moment.
It felt like I was pounding my head with a huge hammer. Seungho continued to speak to Edward, who was unable to say anything.
“Of course, it is a very important factor. But not all. The United States has many resources. I don’t know why you are so obsessed with currency hegemony. Are you sure you don’t want to give anything away?”
Edward rubbed his forehead and pondered. Seungho looked at the US President quietly. Then the door opened and the secretary came in.
“President, it’s time to congratulate you.”
Eventually, Edward got up.
“all right. Let me think about it.”
As soon as Seung-ho came out, he had to be baptized by Kim Hee-gun’s question.
“Are you talking about one coin?”
Seungho quietly nodded.
“What is the result?”
“It is undecided.”
“So, does that mean we should keep our current investment plan?”
“Yes.”
“As you know, the price competitiveness of Engine S is declining due to the strong KRW. Red light on Sunjin Electronics’ sales…”
Seungho immediately burst out laughing.
“But the ONE phone is fine. The same goes for smart cities. zero also. They are all irreplaceable.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
Seung-ho looked directly into Kim Hee-gun’s eyes.
“Chairman, I regard Sunjin as a business partner. What do you think of Sunjin software?”
“·················ogue.”
Seungho asked once more.
“Do you disagree with me?”
Kim Hee-gun, who hesitated for a moment, had no choice but to nod his head.
“···Yes. fellow trader. We were on the same boat.”
Then Seungho slowly extended his hand.
“I do harm to my ex, and I do not take care of my own interests. Haven’t you already shown it in action?”
Kim Hee-gun, who slightly bit his lower lip, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“I was short thinking.”
“no. It is difficult for anyone to face the United States. You’ve been doing well so far.”
With those words, Seungho turned his gaze again. Edward, who had just stepped onto the podium, put his mouth into the microphone and started congratulating us.
-The United States has taken a great first step.
-That’s the first smart city built in Detroit.
Seungho looked at him with his arms crossed.

Blue house.
Secretary Park Shin-woo was pensive. It was because of a topic that the chief of staff posed a while ago.
‘Are you thinking of going into politics?’
Park Shin-woo knew it too. The approval rating of the current ruling party, the Democratic Party, is at an all-time high. If he did not score a suicide goal, it would have been possible to seize the next government. Moreover, he was a symbol of the current government.
– Discovering downtown software.
Because it has that title. I confided these concerns to Secretary Song Young-gyu, who has been working with me since I was a chief officer.
“I thought that one day, such an offer would come.”
“What do you think, Secretary Song? Would it be better to lead a public life like this? Or do you think it would be better to go into politics?”
“It has already been over 5 years since I worked with the secretary.”
“Haha, has that already happened?”
“When we were working on the unicorn project, you asked the same question. It’s probably a waste of billions of dollars in taxes. I am sure, but at the same time, I am afraid.”
Song Young-gyu shrugged and said.
“As you can see the result.”
“Good.”
“Yes.”
“I also came to the Blue House, and I even got a level 5 secretary.”
“Haha, that’s because Secretary Song did a good job.”
“no.”
“Yes?”
“Everything was analyzed by the secretary and made a decision. I was just helping with the preparations.”
Song Young-gyu listened quietly with his mouth shut. Song Young-gyu lowered his voice and continued.
“I think the secretary will do well in politics. And this is just a story I heard from two ROs who are close to me.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“I think that the chief of staff has asked such a question, so he is thinking about the next presidential election.”
Song Young-gyu’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
presidential election.
Doesn’t that mean he’s the president?
“···Yes?”
“The secretary is like the mascot of the current government. If you go out with the title of discovering downtown software, you will be able to get quite a lot of support from the general public. Because of the city soft effect.”
“Hmm······.”
“Even if I don’t have to be elected, it can be used as a card that can make the competition successful. After that, you can run for the general election.”
“It’s the election…”
“And if that’s the case, I think the chances of winning are high. ROs expressed a similar opinion.”
Shocking words followed. Park Shin-woo firmly shut his mouth.
“·················ogue.”
“People’s support for President Kang is over 100%. I envy Korea, the country that owns Seungho Kang, the country that owns Sinasoft. I want to immigrate Do you know how many such opinions are there?”
I was silent because I knew. Silence is an affirmation. Song Young-gyu spoke quickly.
“The one that such a representative recognizes is Secretary Park.”
“I was lucky because I had a good initial relationship.”
Song Young-gyu cut off the conversation firmly.
“Luck is a skill. And CEO Kang is not going to deal with people just by his relationship. Can someone run a company with a market capitalization of 3,000 trillion won?”
Park Shin-woo did not answer. Because his thoughts were the same.
“Anyway, the presidential election… Are you saying that I will become the owner of the Blue House?”
“I’m not saying it’s a possibility, I’m not saying it’s unconditional. We don’t know what kind of reef lurks in Secretary Park’s past right now.”
Park Shin-woo slowly reflected on his past. There wasn’t really anything that could be bad about it. So, among your relatives?
That was a question.
After thinking about it, Shin-Woo Park cautiously spoke out.
“Maybe, maybe. If I go out, can Secretary Song help me with one arm?”
Song Young-gyu nodded his head instead of answering.
“Secretary Park is 38 years old this year. It will probably cause a blast.”
Park Shin-woo’s heart pounded at those words.
