extroversion. a changed world
Samsung Station downtown software headquarters.
Seung-ho was receiving a report from Lee Seong-wook.
“The purchase of government bonds was completed without any setbacks. However, rumors are circulating that China is looking into the ‘Zero Nine’ fund. I wonder who Tranju is.”
“Does my existence behind the fund seem to have flowed in?”
Seongwook Lee shook his head.
“It will not. Since the CEO’s funds flowed into the fund after eating a few cushions, it is almost impossible to determine the source. Moreover, even if you try to hack.”
“Because I am blocking it.”
“Haha, yes. The best IT companies in the world are blocking them.”
“Then, are the Chinese bonds you’ve purchased so far account for about 70%?”
“Yes. Yes. We hold 70% of bonds issued by China and up to 30% of bonds issued by the United States.”
“It’s 70%…”
“It is almost at the level that dominates China. It’s more than half.”
“What if China fails to repay this debt?”
Lee Sung-wook’s expression hardened. What they are doing the most these days is risk management in China. It was also a task to check various scenarios and make countermeasures.
“It is likely to be split into minority countries. Even right now, there is a conflict with the Uyghurs.”
“A split?”
“Yes. China is a country made up of many ethnic groups. Right now, just looking at Tibet and Taiwan, we are trying to unite them under the name of one China, but it is not easy. If China declares another moratorium, it is highly likely that the former Soviet Union will be divided into several countries, including Han Chinese, Uyghurs, and so on.”
“If the country is divided like that, the Manchurian fields may return to Korea.”
“Yes. So, China is most likely not going to a moratorium, even to prevent the country from splitting. And then, if you forgive the debt in return for the land, it is not impossible to receive the land in lieu of money.”
Seungho rubbed his chin.
“We may buy the land.”
“of course. We own the bonds. All you have to do is offer Zero Nine to negotiate. Instead of giving me the Manchurian Field. I will cancel the government bonds.”
In an instant, a picture was drawn in Seungho’s mind.
unified country.
If North Korea is reunified and the Manchurian fields are placed under the name of the Republic of Korea, the South Korean side will have highly intensive industries and the Manchurian fields will have manufacturing industries. If that happens, wouldn’t the world in which Kang Geon-ho lives be a better world?
Of course, only for Koreans.
“all right. Let’s head in that direction for now. So that the money we invested comes back to the land.”
“Yes.”
Lee Sung-wook bowed his head and left the office. Soon the secretary came in.
“There is a call from Port.”
Seungho nodded and the secretary started reporting.
“In conclusion, we have accepted our terms. The schedule is in the next month or so. Instead of Korea, we want COEX at Samseong Station, not Gongju.”
“Let me listen to that.”
“all right.”
“Is there anything else?”
“This is extraneous information.”
“Yes.”
“It seems that the AI ​​developers on the port side are agitated.”
“If it’s a nursery rhyme.”
“What you think is correct. It seems that there are people who are thinking of changing jobs to Sinai Soft.”
Seungho rubbed his chin and closed his mouth.
‘If it’s a person who develops artificial intelligence in Port… it’s a competent person, if they come. The port could completely collapse.’
It was something he had never hoped for. The corners of Seungho’s lips rose at the good news delivered by the secretary.
“If you tell me to come, take it. If that happens, the port may be completely gone now. When Jeff Wilson came over, a lot of developers were there, right?”
“Yes. I think it will be similar this time around.”
“Then it will be difficult for Port to develop artificial intelligence any more.”
“Yes. Maybe we should give up Delta.”
“all right.”
After completing the report, the secretary left, and Seungho was left alone.
the top of a huge building.
The panoramic view of Seoul, including Samseong Station, could be seen from below the window. It was a clean day with no fine dust. After the moratorium declaration, there were many factories that had stopped due to the recession in the Chinese manufacturing industry.
“A great empire will be completed.”
Level 6 artificial intelligence.
Its development has come to the fore. If you develop it perfectly within the next month and win over Port. Indeed, the Sinasoft Empire will be established.
at that time.
smart.
The door opened with a sound.
The person who came was Kim Hee-gun of Sunjin Electronics.
It was an appointment we made because we wanted to talk about business. The secretary quickly pulled out the car, and the two sat facing each other.
“Long time no see. CEO.”
“Haha, it seems like it hasn’t been long since we met at the Blue House dinner.”
Hee-gun Kim said, taking a sip of the tea in front of him.
“That’s right.”
“By the way, why did you get here?”
Seungho likes to jump right into the main point. Kim Hee-gun, who knew that fact, immediately brought up the story.
“Actually, I was a little worried. Last time, the Blue House gave me a hint about the development of artificial intelligence, but I felt that Port’s pursuit was fierce.”
“You want to hear about it.”
Kim Hee-gun nodded and Seung-ho continued.
“A month from now. At COEX, Sinasoft will have an artificial intelligence battle with Port.”
Seungho spoke quickly.
“And we will win that fight.”
“That word.”
Now Sunjin Electronics was a reliable partner. Seungho spoke frankly. Because that’s what you’ll find out in a month or so.
“Yes. We are in the final stages of development.”
Kim Hee-gun swallowed dry saliva. Level 6 of Artificial Intelligence Wasn’t that the realm of impossibility?
“Of course it was very difficult. However, we were able to develop it as a result of joint efforts with several researchers.”
In fact, he got a hint from ‘Ron’ that his son made, but he didn’t even say the details. Seung-ho looked at Kim Hee-gun and continued.
“I think this is the answer. I don’t even have to tell you how we developed it.”
“No, of course.”
Kim Hee-geon answered and slowly got up from her seat. I still couldn’t believe it, but I couldn’t help but believe it. Because Kang Seung-ho wasn’t a liar.

-Stop in front of the 60,000 dollar wall in Korea.
-Korea has lost its growth engine. where to go
– The government looking only at the city Sopot.
At the end of his term, news about government criticism poured in. It flew like a rocket until the late $50,000, but that had already become a glory of the past. Park Shin-woo, who was holding the newspaper, sighed. The secretary, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth.
“Recently, the prosecution has been collecting information about the Blue House officials.”
“We have entered the lame duck section in earnest.”
“The public opinion is slowly turning because of the media attack.”
“Recently, the approval rating has dropped to 70%?”
“Yes. But the trend is too steep. If this is the case, the approval rating could reach the 60% level next month. The opposition’s attacks are also terrifying.”
“Even if the president disappears, the company remains. The chaebols rule Korea. There is no moment when I can empathize with those words like today. When the city software stagnates, the Republic of Korea stagnates.”
After reading the bitterness of Park Shin-woo’s words, the chief of staff’s expression hardened. And slowly opened his mouth.
“I got a call from Sinasoft. Let’s push for unification with North Korea in earnest.”
The secretary’s eyes widened.
“Yes?”
“He said that if we do well, we will be able to secure land on the Manchurian side. Of course, in the future about 10 years from now.”
The more he heard, the more unbelievable the chief secretary burst out.
“her······.”
“I think we’ve almost reached level 6 of AI. And it seems that he intends to overthrow the regime by pressing the North with such great influence.”
“Even so. It’s a Manchurian field. Isn’t that Chinese land?”
“It was weird for me too, but I didn’t go into more depth.”
“Hmm… that’s also the case with the sixth level of artificial intelligence.”
“This is probably what CEO Kang is saying. And that China is struggling with the continued recession. Minority rebellion is not easy. The Chinese army will continue to shrink in size, and there will be no power to stop it. I think he was thinking of buying even a piece of land with the property he had at that time.”
Park Shin-woo nodded.
“Then it makes sense, though. Huh, true.”
“Maybe you can make that much money by level six. The current market cap of downtown software is 4,000 trillion won. Experts say that once you reach level 6, you can reach level 1. Now, the annual operating profit is close to one trillion won. That is to say, this is more than one trillion won, and CEO Kang’s stock valuation will far exceed that of the oil-rich in the Middle East.”
“Really… it’s not impossible.”
“Yes.”
“Then shall we prepare a related plan?”
Park Shin-woo nodded. The chief of staff spoke quickly.
“CEO Kang said that after the battle with Port is over, the North will contact you. Together with that, we will prepare a related plan.”
“At that time, the Republic of Korea will really become a superpower.”
“I wonder if it will even surpass the United States.”
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
***
A month later, at COEX near Samseong Station.
A large number of people from all over the world gathered, including local reporters. That’s what they were talking about while murmuring.
“Is it true that Sinasoft developed a 6-level artificial intelligence?”
“Otherwise, it doesn’t make any sense to compete in an event selected by lot on the same day.”
“Then, Port also developed a sixth-level artificial intelligence. Why did you join the fight?”
“Maybe… maybe it’s desperation. If you go away like this, it will disappear anyway.”
“but······.”
While the reporters were chatting, Dr. Ekaterina of Sinasoft appeared on the podium. And Hassabis came up as a representative of Port. Their eyes met in mid-air.
“It’s been a while.”
“okay. long time no see. Your face looks good.”
“I don’t think this is a place for discussion.”
Hassabis nodded slightly and pulled a ball from the barrel in front of him. And when I opened it, the competition event of the day was written on it.
“Craft 4.”
And this time Dr. Ekaterina put her hand into the barrel.
“chess.”
It was Hassabis’ turn again.
“Baduk.”
So three events were one match today.
Three random events on the first day.
Three events in advance of the second day.
On the third day, two events at random, two events in advance.
It was a game that lasted three days. The two returned to each other’s seats and prepared for the match. After about an hour of preparation time, the game began. And the first edition ended in vain in less than 30 minutes. It ended with an overwhelming victory for Sinaisoft. At that time, the reporters had a gut feeling. That this competition will also end with a one-man show by Sinaisoft.
