places I’ve never been
A Chinese flag looks down at Seoul Airport in Seongnam. It was a top secret visit by the Chinese president. However, there were no Blue House officials to meet them there. The one from Korea is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Along with him, the Chinese ambassador to Korea welcomed Haoran. Haoran bit his lower lip slightly at that modest appearance.
“Thank you for visiting.”
Haoran bowed slightly at the foreign minister’s greeting. I wanted to get on a plane again and go back to my heart, but considering the current situation in China, I couldn’t.
– Unprecedented negative growth in China.
-China GDP -40% compared to the previous year.
-The ‘end’ that caused the worst economic crisis Is China really putting an ‘end’?
– Among the young Chinese. Post-Chinese trend.
It was because of the news that had been flowing until yesterday. Haoran looked at the Chinese ambassador to Korea and asked.
“CEO Kang?”
“Nearby.”
“Then you mean we have to move here again?”
“Yes. sorry.”
Haoran gritted his teeth. What is this disgrace? After all, when I got off at the airport, I saw him not there, and I guessed it.
“ha······.”
Haoran took a deep breath and nodded. Then the Chinese ambassador to Korea quickly gave instructions to the agents, and they immediately got into the car.
The place I moved to was an house provided by the nearby Blue House.
In fact, we could have met at Seoul Airport. But I didn’t do it on purpose. Since then, Haoran has been plagued with ominousness. That ominousness grew stronger as he looked at Seungho. It was because Seungho’s expression was cold.
“Long time no see.”
“Yes. Note.”
“I heard that the construction project is very busy.”
“There is no time to rest when someone keeps hacking the Sinai software.”
Haoran swallowed dry saliva at the sharp words. It seemed that the result of today’s meeting would never go in his favor.
“Haha, that’s right. The public security chief fired him as soon as that fact was revealed. I feel embarrassed because of my subordinates who are overly loyal.”
“Me too. I’m barely stopping the people below me from trying to hack into China. Now, if this time infected with ransomware is an opportunity, we will rush to it.”
quick.
A vein of blood stood on Haoran’s forehead. But he couldn’t express his harsh feelings. Haoran thought.
‘You can’t just go out in that position.’
Haoran lowered his voice.
“Chairman Kang. Evidence has been gathered that this ransomware distributor may be Sinaisoft. You are also responsible for this situation. Why don’t we know that if we don’t cooperate like this, we’re not comfortable with each other?”
But Seungho’s reaction was cold.
“The evidence gathered. Distribute it and go through a formal trial. I don’t care.”
wow.
Haoran grinded his teeth again.
‘This motherfucker.’
I was getting angry and I couldn’t stand it. Without a proper greeting, I went straight to the main topic. What else is that stiff attitude toward you, the president of China, you dare say? His patience was now at the limit.
“Chairman Kang. Are you really going to go all the way?”
Seungho’s answer was firm.
“Yes.”
“In this way, I can call you. It is possible to remove all the benefits from the service monopoly that was provided and to suspend Zero again. Then the damage to downtown software will not be too great.”
Seungho was not funny.
‘Are you also Chinese?’
You’re not afraid to break a promise you’ve already made. I double-checked that I was right. You just have to push it and go.
“Haha, as expected, Yangachi’s nature doesn’t go anywhere. So don’t you think about what other companies will think of China?”
“What, what? Sheep nature?”
“What would it be like to break a contract like this, if it weren’t for a bastard? And you said you were going to get rid of the benefits from China? Haha, that’s fine.”
“·················ogue.”
“It seems that the situation in the world is not well understood yet, but the level of consumption is rising as developments in Africa, India, and Indonesia are progressing steadily. The manufacturing plant can be run in Vietnam.”
Haoran swallowed dry saliva. Seungho spoke quickly.
“It means that China is no longer the base of world production. There will be some initial shock, but it will go away in no time. I will make it that way.”
“What nonsense.”
Seungho stopped talking and went in.
“Sir. makes sense. What was China’s greatest strength? It is the production of high-quality, low-priced goods with cheap labor. But the world doesn’t need that kind of labor anymore. When we put ONE in the smart factory, about 1/20 of the existing workforce was able to run one factory.”
Haoran bit her lower lip. The story Seung-ho is telling now can be fatal to China.
“And as I said before, you can move the factory to another area. Many developing countries want factories. What will happen if that happens?”
Seungho responded as an advisor.
“I just imagined it. If China’s factories flow to India, Southeast Asia, and Africa, wouldn’t China stand in the opposite position to them in the future? Will we be able to return all the growth rates we have achieved so far?”
In Haoran’s mind, the future China was slowly being pictured.
“If the economy goes down like that, people’s dissatisfaction will hit the sky, and maybe Seongju may appear, demanding independence. Mainly for the lords of wealthy castles. But can you stop it? Soon you won’t even have the money to maintain an army. In what way?”
The picture drawn in Haoran’s mind began to become clearer. The fear that it might become just like Seungho’s words came over me. China has thoroughly controlled its people through a one-party dictatorship of terror. However, fear is not a problem when food is a problem. You look like you’re starving, but what can you do? The same goes for the military. If you have money to keep, you can keep the army. Seungho poked at that point.
“We still have enough money …”
Seungho let out a smirk.
“Even if we lower the corporate tax, the financial system is paralyzed and we cannot pay it. Are you saying that companies have to go to administrative agencies and pay them one by one? What about income tax? What are the wages paid to the workers? Everything is done computationally. The End broke it.”
Seungho’s voice became lower.
“Sir. You still don’t know what the reality is. China has only one day left to stop.”
The taste of fishy blood was felt on Haoran’s lips. Now, beyond anger, despair came over. According to Seungho’s words, is there really only one way left for China to collapse? But there is still one line of friendship left.
“The United States is accelerating the development of a ransomware vaccine. It will be done soon.”
Seungho asked coldly.
“Are you confident that you can survive those six months?”
To be honest, I didn’t. Slowly, the anger dissipated and helplessness remained.
Damn it.
how did it come to be like this I thought about it, but there was no answer. Haoran asked helplessly.
“So… what do you mean? Are you really saying you won’t be able to solve it like this?”
Seungho answered firmly.
“Yes. I think so.”
The sincerity felt in those words, Haoran did not say anything. The discussion that day was over in less than two hours.

way back to work.
asked the secretary in the car.
“CEO. Just like you used to think.”
Seungho nodded his head slightly.
“···all right.”
“I am not going to let it go this time. He said he would go all the way.”
“I wouldn’t have stayed still.”
“Haha, that’s right. I got angry, then conciliated, then ejaculated.”
“Are you talking about the Chinese President?”
“Yes. The president of China, who maintained such a high-pressure stance, was ultimately only one person.”
“Hmm······.”
“And at this point, withdraw all factories, including the Chinese branch. The level of consumption in Southeast Asia is slowly rising, so I’m moving there.”
“Then . . . the collapse of the Chinese system may be accelerated. The CEO doesn’t know what it means for Sinaisoft to withdraw.”
Now, the meaning of Sinasoft in the world does not mean just one company. The existence of a branch of Sinaisoft itself represents the growth potential of the country.
This country is growing.
Sinaisoft will make that happen.
It was used in that sense. This was possible because, in developing countries, countries with growth rates exceeding 10% are already appearing one after another thanks to Sinasoft. Thanks to this, attracting foreign capital becomes easier, and the country develops and becomes a virtuous cycle.
But if it’s the other way around.
It means that the country cannot develop. Because you won’t be able to receive the benefits provided by Sinaisoft.
“Yes. So, I’m going to withdraw even more. That’s what the Chinese president said. to withdraw the exclusive service right. It was a business that had to be withdrawn anyway. Eliminate them all, leaving only zero maintenance personnel.”
The secretary swallowed dry saliva and answered.
“Oh, I see.”
next day.
Seungho’s instructions were immediately executed. Sinaisoft branch offices in China started to withdraw one by one. Immediately, foreign capital responded immediately.
-Sinasoft has no intention of helping China.
That message was delivered. The Shanghai Composite Index plummeted. The total index itself, not individual stocks, fell by 10%, which can be called the lower limit. The startled authorities immediately ordered the stock trading to be suspended.
However.
The instructions were not immediately implemented. The server that can be stopped is infected with ransomware. In a word, it was a mess.
-The Chinese ransomware crisis intensifies. Beware of riots.
– State media. No problem. Citizen reaction was cold.
-Remaining media control. Haoran’s leadership is being questioned.
It was reported on the front page by media from around the world. This is because the Chinese economy plays a large role in the global economy. Some experts predicted the collapse of China, others predicted it would come back to life.
In the meantime, another article came up.
-[Exclusive] The fact of China’s Sinai software hacking has been revealed.
Sinaisoft presented physical evidence of the Sinaisoft hack in China through official distribution materials. It will be provided to the WTO and other countries for notarization. If this evidence turns out to be true, it is safe to say that China’s external image will be devastated and the political life of current President Hao Lan will come to an end.
the next day too.
The next day, the Shanghai Composite Stock Index continued to plunge. As time passed, more and more companies went bankrupt, and the unemployment rate recorded 20%, the highest since statistics were compiled.
Eventually, the Chinese authorities declared a moratorium.
A moratorium, or national bankruptcy.
A huge country called China went bankrupt.
