places I’ve never been
Hearing hall inside the Houses of Parliament.
Seungho grabbed the microphone in front of dozens of cameras.
-Hello. This is Seungho Kang, CEO of Sinaisoft. First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the National Assembly for providing this opportunity. And once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the people.
Seungho, who came out slightly to the side of the podium, nodded his head. Then he grabbed the mic and continued speaking.
-First of all, let me tell you about the status of One Coin.
One Coin is currently in eight countries adopting fiat currencies. 82 countries linked. In the future, more and more countries are adopting a fiat currency.
-Why are they using One Coin as fiat currency? The answer is simple. Because it’s convenient. And because it’s safe.
Send money to any bank with just a few taps, and you don’t have to worry about fees when sending money between countries. There is no risk of financial accidents because all contents are stored in a non-hackable blockchain technique.
At Seungho’s explanation, the lawmakers nodded their heads and focused. Dozens of cameras were showing their current appearances live. As if reflecting the public’s interest in One Coin and Seungho, the ratings were also exceeding 10%. At this time, it is a politician who gets even one more vote to show a good figure. Of course, I had to focus.
-Next, we will talk about the detailed features of One Coin.
20 minutes later.
After Seungho’s explanation, it was time for a question and answer. Most of the ruling party lawmakers were encouraging.
“People have high expectations for One Coin. How do you plan to operate in the future?”
“I want to go in a direction that resolves the inflammation that people felt in the existing financial system. We will solve the inconvenience of having to pay too much fee when money is out of sight without knowing it or when remittance of study funds to children abroad.”
“When would it be the fastest implementation?”
“We understand that at least a year of preparation will be required.”
There were very few cases of digging into weaknesses or asking difficult questions. But opposition lawmakers were a little different. A member of the National Assembly, a former prosecutor who was looking at Seungho with sharp eyes, asked.
“There will be people who use the old banknotes. How do you plan to solve such difficulties with a cryptocurrency called One Coin?”
“The won currency will be exchanged one-to-one with One Coin. So, you can use the existing currency as it is.”
“Then it’s kind of virtual money. There is no difference from the existing card points.”
“There is that aspect. However, existing points cannot be used across countries. Also, artificial intelligence ONE is not involved.”
“If ONE intervenes in users’ consumption, wouldn’t it be a leak of personal information?”
“I understand that the Data 4 Act has been passed that can use that data.”
Then the lawmaker sitting next to him showed a sign of discomfort.
“Hmmmm… Hmmmm. Why are you doing something you already know?”
“Stop it.”
“Come on, let me ask you something more productive.”
I could no longer continue to ask questions about the continuous attention of the nearby lawmakers and the rushing text messages.
“No, now is my question time.”
“Because it is. Isn’t there a saying that the National Assembly is holding companies’ ankles? Companies innovate over and over again, but the National Assembly is entangled in tradition and is going backwards.”
The man had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at the shouting of Rep. Jung Jin. Seungho watched him quietly. There was nothing he could do on his own anyway.
After the question-and-answer session was over, the chief of staff gave a whisper.
“Woah, I have an appointment with the opposition leader.”
Seungho nodded his head slightly. Because I couldn’t come back here without seeing them.
“let’s go.”
“Yes. Come this way.”
Representatives of both parties.
I was on my way to meet people who could be said to be the center of power in the current Republic of Korea, but I was not nervous at all. It’s because I’ve already met too many powerful people. Rather, it was the party representatives who were nervous. I knew it as soon as I opened the door.
“This is Kang Seung-ho.”
At Seungho’s words, the leaders of both parties stand up from their seats.
“Are you here?”
“nice to meet you.”
Seungho bowed his head slightly.
“sorry. Because I don’t have time, I decided to meet them together.”
Yang, the party leader’s eyes tremble slightly. Originally, there was a separate request for a meeting. However, they made an appointment at the same time on the excuse that the schedule was tight. But the party leaders did not express their dissatisfaction. First, the ruling party leader opens his mouth.
“Haha, it’s because you’re busy when you run a business. I understand.”
Then the head of the large opposition party did not stand still.
“Thank you for taking the time to do this.”
Seungho lifted his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was a gesture of being busy. And I wanted to get straight to the point.
“So what you want to say is…”
In a way, this can be considered rude. However, the leaders of both parties did not open their mouths about the action. The head of the world’s top companies beyond the domestic market. You should be grateful just to have an appointment with him. That was their current position. First, the opposition leader said.
“It’s because of the presidential election at the end of this year.”
There was urgency on his face. If you go on like this, you will lose. The opposition leader spoke quickly.
“I want you to officially announce your political neutrality.”
Seungho answered right away.
“A neutral announcement? Sinaisoft has nothing to do with politics.”
“But there are many people who do not think so. There are some who think that the current administration has fostered Sinaisoft.”
Seungho looked at the opposition leader with his mouth shut.
“Who raises whom?”
With those words, silence came to the conference room. The ruling party leader’s mouth twitched. I barely lowered the corner of my mouth that was about to go up. And I remembered the advice of Secretary Park.
– You don’t have to say nice things. If you just stand still… you will find the main shrine.
So, as usual, he didn’t open his mouth. I just kept silent and watched the situation turn around. The opposition leader said hurriedly.
“Hahaha. I don’t mean that, as if the people had some kind of relationship between Sinaisoft and the government.”
Seungho’s expression hardened even more. And he said in a bad mood.
“Some kind of relationship? So are you saying that I am doing business with the protection of the government now?”
The opposition leader was even more perplexed.
“Oh no, that’s not what I mean.”
Each time that happened, the leader of the ruling party had to put up with a lot of laughter.
“If you’re going to say something like this, let’s get up first. In a little while, there will be consultations with the European Union countries, so we need to prepare.”
“Oh no, CEO Kang. Just go like this.”
“I am not interested in politics. You just need to know that.”
and got up and left. The opposition leader looked at the back with a bewildered expression, and the ruling party leader smiled with a smile of conversion.
‘There will be no problem in this election.’

In the car back to work.
The secretary asked as he looked at Seungho who had stiffened.
“Did the story go wrong?”
“It’s always the same story that politicians say.”
“Haha, yes. They are like moths running for power. I mean, it will always be the same.”
Seungho turned the topic because he didn’t want to talk about it any more.
“How is the meeting with the European Union being prepared?”
“I have written related presentation materials. here.”
The secretary handed over the tablet he was holding. The presentation materials prepared by the planning office staff were stored there.
-Effect of Euro-One coin linkage.
It was a data created by Sinasoft to link with the euro, the single currency used in the European Union. There are the achievements of One Coin so far and the vision for the future. And the pros and cons were well organized with detailed figures. Seungho, who was reading the material, asked.
“How many countries are interested in smart cities?”
“Most of them were from Eastern Europe such as Germany, Israel, and Poland.”
“Then we should attack that ticket first. Please approve the smart city construction as an excuse.”
“Yes. It is already linked with the dollar, so I expect that the euro will be linked if there are no major problems.”
Seungho nodded his head. Now, when the euro is linked, One Coin becomes a single currency that penetrates the world. You will be able to make payments wherever you go on earth with your ONE phone. Of course, there are some limitations, but you can work through them gradually.
-payment.
Because it’s important to be able to actually do it.
at that time.
The secretary’s cell phone vibrated and vibrated. The secretary who received the call said with a serious expression.
“Yes. all right.”
“Are you trying to hack?”
“You mean the firewall is broken?”
“What about the leaked information?”
“all right.”
After hanging up the phone, the secretary carefully opened her mouth.
“Now… the data center is said to have been hacked.”
“Hacking?”
black watch.
Since he went to jail, Sinasoft has never been hacked.
“Yes. Fortunately, the bait server, not the main server, seems to have been breached.”
bait server.
It was a server created after the server was hacked by Blackwatch at the time.
“I know it hasn’t been hacked since Black Watch.”
“Yes. Perhaps a stronger one has appeared.”
Seungho said with a serious expression.
“Let’s go straight to the control room.”
The secretary nodded and gave orders, and the driver drove through downtown Seoul at high speed.
***
The CIA director’s expression brightened as he answered the call.
“Did you hack it?”
-Yes. We just got server information and are analyzing it.
“Is it also a Black Watch?”
– Your skills are great. It’s only been three days since you started working on it, and you’re already hacking into the ONE server. Wouldn’t it be possible to hack ONE installed locally with this skill?
“Let’s look at this hacking material and review it. Local ONE might be able to pinpoint the culprit right away.
-all right. Then I’ll report back as soon as the data is available.
“okay.”
After hanging up, the CIA director picked up the phone connected to the secure line. The phone was connected to the White House. As soon as I called, the secretary answered the phone.
“Successful.”
-okay?
“Yes. We are currently analyzing the obtained data.
– Well done. I’ll watch it right away.
“Yes.”
The CIA director took a deep breath. This made it possible to close the 10-year gap. If outstanding government agents use the data to carry out the Washington Project that follows the Manhattan Project, it will be possible to defeat ONE. The CIA director clenched his teeth and calmed his beating heart.
