-[Breaking News] Chinese moratorium declaration. Into the world economic labyrinth
-Ransomware ‘end’ swallows up China.
-Where is the end of the ‘end’ that still shows no clue?
China’s moratorium declaration.
Its ripple effect was enormous. There was a lot of news that the global growth rate would be 0%, and bankruptcies came one after another in the financial market. Because Chinese bonds are one of the safest assets recognized worldwide. Because that was all turned into pieces of trash.
However, the effect was negligible than expected. This was because Lee Sung-wook bought a large amount of Chinese bonds through the New York Stock Exchange. Lee Sung-wook bought bonds that had almost turned into pieces of paper. The ammunition was sufficient. This was because Seungho’s fortune was nearly three thousand trillion. All of that wealth was poured into buying bonds. Seongwook Lee, who took care of the work, reported to Seungho.
“We bought another $100 billion.”
“Yes.”
Lee Sung-wook lowered his voice and asked.
“I thought the CEO thought China was going to collapse.”
“I thought so. So it must have declared a moratorium.”
“Then why is China’s bonds going bankrupt anyway?”
“Someday I will come back to life. I am not fighting any war.”
“These days, economic wars are scarier.”
“Haha, economic war with China. You seem to be overestimating my abilities.”
But Lee Sung-wook’s hardened expression didn’t know how to get rid of it.
“The president has a far greater influence than we think right now. Do you know what I’ve heard the most from being on Wall Street in the last two months?”
Seungho shook his head, and Seongwook Lee continued.
“What is Mr. Kang doing now? Find out what kind of business he thinks.”
“You are very interested in my every move.”
“As a result, the global economy is rapidly changing. Just look at the situation in China.”
“The Chinese problem will be solved. Even if it’s not me, if the US concentrates its capabilities, it will be developed someday.”
Lee Sung-wook’s voice became even lower.
“Then you are going to sell this bond again. After the problem is resolved and the country is back to normal. When China enters the bond market again.”
Seungho nodded his head.
“It will be a lot of money. Thousands of billions of dollars.”
Seong-wook Lee was not able to estimate Seung-ho’s fortune. Already, he was not alone in managing his assets. Hundreds of people employed by the corporation were working hard to manage Seungho’s personal assets.
“I know what you mean.”
Seungho nodded and stood up. I had work to finish.
After leaving Pangyo, Seungho arrived at the US base in Pyeongtaek.
This was because they negotiated with the US before the ransomware patches were developed by Silicon Valley companies.
1. Promise to prevent recurrence and make an official apology for this incident.
2. Recognition of physical evidence.
3. Fair consideration for patches.
The U.S. immediately accepted Seungho’s terms. Because I saw what China was going to be like. The United States was able to put this condition on because it was still one-out in terms of Seungho. Moreover, the collapse of the US, the world’s largest consumer, would have a different ripple effect than the collapse of China, so it could not be left alone. The Vice President of the United States flew to the base secretly to thank him.
“thank you.”
“You just have to keep your promise.”
“of course. We will make an announcement as soon as we receive the patch.”
Seungho nodded and handed the USB. Then, the vice president delivered the patch to the secretary who was on standby, and the verification process started quickly.
***
Korean Blue House.
The fact that the vice president of the United States had entered Korea was a fact that very few even at the Blue House knew. Of course, Hong Sang-hoon knew that fact.
“It’s unfortunate. America could see the end.”
Then the chief of staff lowered his voice.
“President. You have to be careful. The Blue House may also have wiretapping devices installed.”
“How many times have you not checked?”
“Yeah, yes, but.”
“China is ruined. Of course, Korea’s exports were also shattered, but now that there are more exports to other countries than China, the Korean economy will gradually improve. If the United States is destroyed at this time, it is an opportunity for Korea to become a superpower.”
“The United States is the world’s largest consumer. The opposite could happen.”
“Perhaps that is why CEO Kang also delivered the patch to the United States. Of course, there may be some kind of back deal.”
“I think it’s because patch development is coming soon among companies in Silicon Valley. It’s not because they’re just letting go.”
Hong Sang-hoon shook his head.
“Of course it is, though. I’m sorry I can’t help it. It could be a new opportunity.”
However, the chief of staff remained concerned.
“It certainly could have been. But, well, it’s already been decided.”
“It’s no use trying to catch the bus that left.”
“Yes. We have to prepare for the future.”
“Yeah, what did the drum say? If we move all our production plants on the Chinese side, I think the North Korean economy will develop tremendously.”
“There has already been a crack in the system by acknowledging the private property of Sinaisoft. Right now, he seemed to be thinking of a Chinese model.”
“When China collapsed, you changed your mind.”
“Yes.”
“But it seems to be thinking about unification within 10 years.”
“Good. If we pull it a little bit, it might be really unified in the next generation.”
“You mean Secretary Park?”
Hong Sang-hoon nodded his head heavily.
“Yes.”
“You have made up your mind.”
“He was a good friend. I think I have enough ability to lead the next generation. It seems that the political foundation is lacking or that the political power itself is insufficient.”
“Do you think that ability is more important than that now?”
“With Sinasoft, Korea has come to a major inflection point. super tycoon. He is changing society. Due to the in-house policy implemented by Sinaisoft, other companies are avoiding overtime work and not having dinner parties. Aside from these simple things, there are a lot of changes.”
The chief of staff nodded silently.
“Legal, Judicial, and Administrative. These three elements that make up the country are all paying attention to the city software.”
The chief of staff had no choice but to nod again this time. Because it was all true. The super-high growth of the 1980s was re-enacted in the 21st century. It was all because of the downtown software, and the public’s support for the software was beyond the atmosphere. Any place that said bad things about the company received harsh criticism from the public.
-Don’t touch a good company.
-What did you guys do when Sinasoft worked so hard?
Regardless of age or gender, Sinai Soft has become the company that they most want to enter and the pride of the Republic of Korea.
“So that’s what I thought. What is the use of political power in this situation? If there is only support from Sinai Soft, there will be no problems in running the government.”
Again, the secretary nodded.
“If you are Secretary Park, you will do well.”
With those words, Hong Sang-hoon closed his mouth. At that moment, the secretary’s cell phone vibrated and vibrated.
– Need to check the news.
-The United States, the official recognition of the evidence presented by Sinasoft.
The chief of staff hastily opened his mouth.
“It is said that the United States admitted evidence that Sinasoft was hacked.
“what?”
The chief of staff turned on the TV in the office. Then came the official interview of the President of the United States.
-Hello. Edward Brook, President of the United States of America.
-I am standing in front of you like this to convey the official opinion of the US government on the unfortunate fact that has recently occurred.
– Let me start with the conclusion. It is true that Sinaisoft recently sent an official letter to countries around the world.
-The United States hacked Sinaisoft to collect information. And I received a patch from a company in Silicon Valley for the worst ransomware ‘end’ ever.
– Therefore, the US will deliver the patch to China as soon as possible.
Hong Sang-hoon, who was watching TV, could not keep his mouth shut. It was the same with the secretary.
“U.S., has the president of the United States ever said such a thing?”
The chief of staff who was with him stuttered.
“Oh, probably not.”
A sight he had never seen before was unfolding.
***
Kim Hee-gun of Sunjin Electronics was also watching the news.
“In the end, the United States also declared surrender.”
Only the heartbeat answered, swallowing dry saliva.
“China is bankrupt. There is no law in the US against it.”
“Is it all because of downtown software?”
Dong-man Koh did not answer easily. The news on TV was unbelievable.
– In the future, the United States will make further efforts to uphold the order of fair competition and declare that it will firmly deal with various kinds of disorder in the shadows.
The President of the United States promises to prevent a recurrence and promises appropriate compensation to Sinaisoft. I couldn’t believe those words. Only Go Dong opened his mouth.
“Perhaps… it seems so.”
“Whoa….”
“Moreover, thanks to Sinai Soft, we expect the company’s sales to grow YoY (YoY) +30% next year. Chinese IT devices were smashed.”
“Has it increased since the last black incident?”
“Yes. This time, CEO Kang didn’t come forward until we went to the moratorium.”
Kim Hee-gun lowered her voice and asked.
“How is the local situation in China?”
“Perhaps the Communist Party will collapse. The scale of protests by the Chinese people has already exceeded 50 million. As you know, while declaring a moratorium, even their salaries for soldiers and public security officers were suspended, and even they are participating in the protests.”
“With 50 million, China is huge no matter what.”
“It’s a great country with a population of 1 billion.”
“In the end, the regime will collapse.”
“I think the next president will be Ryu Fei, a young politician who has been persecuted after the collapse. It seems that the method of electing the president will also change to a democratic method.”
“It is truly a cataclysm.”
“I also got a call from the Blue House. Can we build more production plants in North Korea? I promise to give you a big recognition of your private property.”
Kim Hee-gun said with a smirk.
“This will lead to unification.”
But Koh Dong-man answered seriously.
“Perhaps it is highly probable. As long as Sinaisoft remains in Korea.”
-Finally, I would like to end with the words of Thomas Jefferson, who was the 3rd President of the United States.
-Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom.
-thank you.
With those words, Edward disappeared behind the curtain. Kim Hee-gun couldn’t turn off the TV for a while.
