Villain’s Economics chapter 88
“Don’t look for me again today.”
“····· Are you going to see him again?”
“Yes.”
According to the Three Kingdoms, there are two lines that show persistence to achieve the purpose of being human. I don’t know if there’s more, but I remember twice.
Samgo Caring and Chiljong Chilgeum.
The former refers to the work that Ubi visited three times to obtain Zhuge Liang, and the latter refers to the work that Zhuge Liang caught seven times and released seven times to accept the fierce fishing in Namman.
It’s my eighth time today.
Patrick Gwyn, who served as deputy director of the NSA, boldly stepped down from office after his wife began fighting illness.
But I found it too late.
His wife, who was a cancer, died as if sleeping while relying on medication because the surgery was too late.
Later, the NSA recommended him to return to work, but instead, he opened a jazz bar that did not fit in a small city. Like listening to music at a jazz bar before my wife goes to sleep.
The recruitment of such romanticists.
It wasn’t something that would happen once or twice.
“What are you going to do in Korea?”
“What do you mean? You said you’d just watch for a while.”
President Howard’s inauguration ceremony was also mentioned a month ago, so China started knocking on South Korea. Since then, everyone has started screaming except for areas where Korea’s dominance is still clear, such as semiconductors, displays, and petrochemicals.
As the presidential election is just around the corner, the political circle is in chaos, and the business community is looking for ways to deal with the situation, but I am just watching.
I don’t owe anything to Korea.
There’s no reason why I should accept China’s proposal for Korea. If you’re a sane person, you can’t tell me to give way.
Why did I hit Korea?
It was because of the people who attacked my family for ridiculous reasons and the people who watched them. Whoever led it is responsible for emptying their brains and following them, and the people who sat on the sidelines.
What if it’s true that China and Japan paid for it?
You want me to give you an indulgence? I can’t do that.
What if there’s a lot of public opinion that holds me accountable again and the majority of the people are sympathetic or sitting by? Instead of China, I will drop Korea to the abyss first.
I, who have a lot of Korean shares, will also suffer damage, but in the worst case scenario, I will give up 300 billion dollars.
“Jay, you’re tough.”
“It’s not tough, it’s reasonable.”
“Reasonable?”
“Yes, would China be fine to bring Korea down? Of course, Korea will be hurt more, but if a bomb explodes, debris will fly to China. The more Korea holds on, the more debris splatters. That’s the best price to pay if you don’t pay for it for just 300 billion dollars.”
It sounds crazy, but I’m being honest.
Sales of Victor 2.0 have already begun around the world, and supply has resumed to three Northeast Asian countries, including China. The construction of the second production base will begin as early as this year.
Rogue’s farm is already self-sustaining.
It has now turned into a surplus after pouring money into it.
Ceres and Minus, I don’t know.
Dozens of countries are shouting “Shut up! Take my money!” but they are all pushing Russia to speak. I gave the exclusive license to Russia.”
Money is not a problem to me anymore.
“Only Jay out of the nearly 8 billion people in the world would think so. Go out and ask anyone.”
“I just don’t want to ask.”
“Because it’s not reasonable?”
“Yes.”
“······”
I know, I know.
I’m half out of my mind.
It can’t be normal for a man to hit 200 billion dollars and then add 100 billion dollars back to get revenge against the country in the first place.
“Am I very strange?”
“Why don’t you meet a girl?”
“······”
“It makes people more generous.”
“It’s devastating when you get dumped.”
“A woman of her right mind doesn’t kick Jay.”
“You’re not supposed to date when you’re in your right mind.”
“Isn’t that marriage?”
“Right, marriage is a lack of judgment.”
” Divorce is caused by a lack of patience.”
“Remarriage is due to poor memory.”
“Try drinking.”
“Why?”
“All women look pretty because they lack judgment.”
“I don’t want to wake up and scream in the morning.”
“······”
“I’ll think about it first when I see a girl.”
“You didn’t know? I’m already in progress.”
“····· I’ll go to work.”
I was completely defeated.
Well, there’s no way a strict child like Lyndon wouldn’t have a girl.
Suddenly, I remember my ex-girlfriend.
Like all college couple, they were moderately playful and moderately sweet. It’s not like I’ve had a dirty transfer break-up, but after a little argument, I fight for my pride. Broke up.
Was it because he decided to join the army alone?
Although he is immature now, it was very awkward to understand other people’s feelings because he was immature back then.
My girlfriend is upset that I decided to join the army alone without discussing it. You should’ve soothed it. What’d I do to be blunt? Later I heard she was still alone when I was in the army. I’m sure you didn’t wait for me or anything.
Anyway, when I think about that time, I’m not confident about meeting anyone yet. It’ll be better if I grow up and become an adult.

“Patrick, how are you?”
“You’re here again.”
A middle-aged man in his 50s, who was organizing his album inside the bar, is greeted as if he was wondering why he came again. Did I tell you not to come anymore?
“I liked Denver.”
“It’s a favorite city for retired elderly people.”
The image of Denver is a little off.
It is the largest city in the state led by Colorado and has a population of less than 1 million (only 600,000-700,000 people) and the elderly population is overwhelming, perhaps because of the image of clean and cleanliness.
However, it is ironic that there are all four major U.S. professional league teams in this city and even soccer teams.
“Patrick isn’t an old man, but he’s here.”
“It’s the same for me to retire.”
“Unlike getting older, retirement can be reversed. He’s still in his prime.”
“Can’t you see my hair washed?”
“Silver? Nice.”
“······”
“I’d like a bourbon today.”
At first, he hesitated.
I couldn’t bring it up easily.
Who are you going to recruit in personally? I should’ve tried it.
But whoever first said that you should try stealing is a wise man. He became brazen as he learned his face and was rejected once and twice.
He’s so good at acting like this, and he’s even getting what Patrick recommends by choosing only types of alcohol.
Snap-
A double strait glass of amber liquid was placed in front.
You want me to get drunk and go home?”
“I wish you could, but the alcohol was strong.”
“You’re so mean to the guests..”
There are many drinkers around, so alcohol cannot be weak.
I’ve been trained by the Russian Foreign Minister because I don’t have enough drinkers living in the same house. Even after a week of snoring after coming back from Washington, I’ve definitely gotten stronger just by looking at him flying all the way to Denver and drinking.
Let me take a sip.
Huh? I’m sure I’ve tried it.
“Blanton”?
“Did you even get the name of the bourbon?”
“I haven’t tried this and that, so I know one thing for sure. I won this when I first drank with the Russian Foreign Minister.”
It was the drink Dave hid.
“Yuri Nabokov?”
“Yes, he’s a terrible drunkard.”
“Jay must have liked it. Minister Yuri doesn’t just grab anyone and drink.”
“Do you know the Russian minister’s taste in alcohol?”
“······. It’s all information over here.”
Is it like a distinction between a person who can drink and get information from someone who doesn’t? Whatever it is, it’s great.
“Anyway, this drink was delicious.”
“It’s a different drink depending on the aerating condition from the first to the last when you pick the seal.”
“Patrick’s an expert, too.”
“If blanton suits your taste, I also recommend fashionable van Winkle of the same kind. The price is a bit crazy, but we guarantee the taste.”
I finally found something to talk about.
I wanted jazz, but I need to know jazz to have a conversation.
He’s been avoiding the story, so he’s been taking pictures of his eyes, but alcohol is helpful. I’ll have to get Dave a new bottle of Blanton on his way back.
“You’ve got a lot of bourbon, too?”
“It depends on the distillery. There are many new distilleries that have been in operation since the era of temperance.”
“If I come to see Patrick, I’ll try all kinds of drinks.”
“······ I don’t intend to give up.”
“Of course.”
“Why do I have to be me?”
“I believe in Taylor’s eye.”
“······”
I heard it. I heard it.
You can tell if you don’t listen to it or not by its mouth.
The damn word that starts with an F.
However, there is love and hatred on his face.
That was the look on his face when he said he came here on the first day of his visit. Then I flew a Fuck.
“May I call Taylor?”
“You’ll have to wear a bulletproof suit.”
“Don’t just shoot me in the head.”
“······”
I’ve never talked to him this long since the first day.
I’m going to sacrifice Taylor to create an atmosphere.
Jay, are you going to die?
“No, come in here.”
– ······

“You get information from Helena Edwards, you get it from Russia, and eventually you want a three-step cross-validation.”
“That’s right.”
“Do you happen to know the difference between Humint and Tekint?”
“I only know the dictionary meaning.”
Humint
It is a method of collecting information through people such as intelligence agents, diplomats, and internal cooperators. The most obvious method if the object of the information is out-of-date, but the person concerned.
TECHINT
It is a method of technically stealing information by mobilizing satellites as well as supercomputers. There was once a time when the NSA-run prism project was exposed and the world turned upside down.
“The NSA’s main power is tequint, and running tequint methods takes a lot of money.”
“But what Patrick’s confident about is tequint?”
“I’ve worked for over 20 years at the NSA.”
“I just want the results.”
“Not asking for a way?”
“I don’t even bite the course.”
“Jay is a dangerous man.”
“The enemy is not someone to argue with law or law.”
I used weapons and supplies to the Tucana people of Kenya to shed blood on my own. Even if it was Russia who supplied supplies, I was the one who urged me to do so, so the blood they shed is on me.
It was illegal.
But I’ve never felt guilty.
“It costs more than $100 million just to have basic equipment.”
I took a card out of my wallet.
It’s a card that I made and carried around for a month.
“There’s a billion dollars in here. If there is any shortage, just apply to Rogue.”
“····· I don’t intend to leave here.”
“I heard your wife is here.”
“Yes, so I’ll see you in two months.”
“Here?”
“Here.”
Taylor grumbled on the flight back after selling. Surely now we are out of a rigid relationship.
“That’s too much.”
“But you didn’t get shot.”
“I heard you told me not to shoot you in the head.”
“Hahaha!”
How did I know Patrick was Taylor’s immediate supervisor? No wonder you didn’t come inside when you brought me to Denver on the first day.
Today, I remember Taylor coming into the store stiffly, so I keep smiling. He came in and was robbed.
“He’s a competent man of ability. Even if Tequint was the main force, he was also involved in planning Humint during dozens of operations.”
“I don’t care about that complicated stuff.”
“······?”
“I only believe in Taylor’s eye.”
“While you were inside, the Secretary of Commerce called.”
You’re changing the subject.
What’s wrong with believing in yourself?
“What’s going on?”
“It’s a blue steel issue.”
“Ah!”
President Howard won a second term last month, giving the reshuffled cabinet a big assignment disguised as a gift. Did the Secretary of Commerce freak out at the official documents sent from Rogue as soon as he was appointed?
Blue steel.
The name is given to alpha iron alloys.
After naming it, I heard it’s the same name as the U.K.-developed air-to-surface nuclear missile decades ago. It is a missile that has already been discarded and is not even used.
Anyway, I heard that the Ministry of Commerce, which received the performance test results of alpha iron alloys, which were divided into several stages, was turned upside down. President Howard called to see if the report went up.
He was the president who laughed when he said he would follow the government’s decision on the location of the steel mill since it was an inauguration gift. When I said that I promised Russia a license, my voice became a bit stiff, but I didn’t try to reverse my decision.
After the call, the Minister of Commerce called and said he would contact me when the steel mill was located.
Is it decided now?
Which steel mill takes a month to locate.
“Minister, this is Jay.”
J: Ah! J.
“You called?”
Yes, I had a question.
“Tell me.”
Do you mind if I split up the steel mill?
“Do you split up?”
– Yes, I’m thinking of numbering.
“How?”
– First steel mill in Detroit and second steel mill in Milwaukee. What about this format? It’s also convenient to use the existing steel mill site that’s already closed.
“It’s a rust belt, isn’t it?”
– ····· That’s right.
This is a location selection with a lot of political intentions.
How far are you going to raise the government’s approval rating?
“Mr. President, can I really change the constitution?”
– Haha!
“I don’t care.”
– I see.
This is like clearing a debt.
I’ll use it later.
* * *

“It’s late, aren’t you going home?”
I asked to go to the office building from the airport, and Taylor asks.
“Today is the day.”
“····· Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
Actually, I didn’t know I was ready.
If Gaia hadn’t called me into her space while I was asleep on the plane, I wouldn’t know until tomorrow.
[Jay, I’m ready]]
“Are we done with seven?”
[Yes.]
Gaia was made by my own hands, but most of the artificial bodies for old people were made by Gaia. Now that they’re done settling, the old men have their bodies. It’s a different person. You know it’s
Among S/S agents, only Tom, Jerry, and Taylor know what they cheated on Android. Other agents should not know.
“Then you’ll show up tomorrow.”
“Yes, if you’re pressed for time, you can leave it in the lab for a few more days. There’s no one coming in.”
“No, the plan has already been completed.”
