Villain’s Economics chapter 91

First of all, 20 emails were released.
At first, it was a paper submitted as a project on the use of Alpha Iron’s tract. It’s less than 10 pages in total, but it clearly contains controversial ideas. The e-mail date was before Professor Jeon Hyung-in’s paper was published.
The following e-mail is after the presentation of the paper due to the timing.
Protests, appeals and accusations. It’s a young sentence for people in their 20s, but the content was the same. It was about Kim Sang-yeon’s idea as if it were his own and arguing with the professor who wrote the paper.
“I’ll leave the judgment to the people. You can download the original email at any time by accessing the research center’s website.”
After the press conference, academia turned upside down.
Some criticized Professor Kim Sang-yeon, claiming that it was not the first problem that had happened, but a chronic problem in academia, while some criticized Professor Kim Sang-yeon, claiming that the portal under Rogue’s rule had manipulated the email.
In the midst of such confusion, the business community moved separately.
It was because the second content that Professor Kim Sang-yeon announced at the press conference was too important to pay attention to academic controversy.
“Blue steel has hardness and manpower above carbon steel, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and cold resistance, but it is not limited to this. It means that we can seek to maximize certain performance. I heard that Rogue is planning to focus on the material industry in the future and leave it to the company regarding the use of the material. If you plan highly competitive products in each industry, it means that you have room to think about developing customized materials. Therefore, Wonju Research Institute is planning to develop secondary alloys and other materials in line with the needs of the company needs.”
Cooperation with Rogue is natural.
It was about the future operation of the institute.
Material development tailored to corporate needs.
This means that if the product has been selected for use from Victor to Minus, it will work with the company from now on.
Now it’s not a one-sided compulsion?
You’re welcome. There’s more reason to be chosen by Rogue. If you don’t get it, you’ll fall behind.
Rogue broke the silence, too.
[········ Every year, a fixed operating fund of $100 million will be paid to Wonju Research Institute. And Rogue will only decide on the supply of blue steel, which will be the base material, but the project will be discussed individually by the company and Wonju Research Institute.]
It was a decision that intentionally empowered Wonju Research Institute.
Even if Rogue decides to supply blue steel, it’s over if Wonju Laboratory refuses to proceed with the project.
Blame from the mainstream academia?
I couldn’t afford to pay attention.
At this time of tightening economic sanctions in China, technology competitiveness is the only breakthrough, but it was only the barking of dogs that were criticized by the mainstream academia for stealing students’ ideas.
A lawsuit?
If cooperation with Wonju Research Institute is disrupted, professors from the mainstream academic community were prepared to destroy all the universities and industrial-academic connections. Some industrial-academic links have already been canceled.
Will the university give up their place to the best professors? It’s only a matter of time before they step down as old men in the back room. Some universities are already making similar disclosures, so you don’t have to use your hands on purpose.
“Professor.”
“I’m not a professor anymore.”
“Oh, Mr. Chairman. The most urgent area for blue steel is the automobile industry. If the shock absorption frame is strengthened, the safety of the passengers is guaranteed first.”
“Yes, that’s why we’re reviewing it.”
“The company is willing to spare no support. I ask for me.”
“Mr. Chairman, please think about how blue steel will increase international competitiveness if it is used in the shipbuilding industry. Corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and cold resistance are all tracks that are essential for cargo ships to and from the Oceans.”
“I’m fully aware of it.”
“And the heavy industry sector has the greatest employment effect. Please consider this as well.”
“I’ll let you know as soon as possible.”
“Mr. Chairman, whatever form of blue steel secondary alloy is developed, mass production must be done at the steel mill. If our steel mill participates in the development process, we can prepare production lines in advance and maximize efficiency.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“We’re trying to get 100% of the investment and as much royalty as we can. I ask a favor of you.”
Not only companies directly related to Blue Steel but also companies unrelated to it lined up in front of Wonju Research Institute. To see if the lab is working on another project.
Dozens, hundreds, of other companies.
But all of them had something in common about being wary of China. China’s pressure will not stop easily, but Korea cannot give up on the Chinese market.
China is also still importing goods that have an overwhelming technological advantage while imposing economic sanctions on South Korea. In the end, the only way to survive was to secure technology.
“Is it over for today?”
Thanks to this, Professor Kim Sang-yeon has become the busiest person in Korea. I don’t know how the day goes by.
“Yes, Cheil Industries will visit tomorrow.”
“It’s hard.”
“You can’t be tired already.”
“I know, it’s a long way off. But this phenomenon is not desirable.”
“What? Why isn’t it desirable?”
Kang Se-ho asked as if he were saying something.
“It’s good for Korean companies to pay attention, but if we’re too focused on our side, other industrial-academic links will be cracked.”
Until now, it has been very rare for Wonju Research Institute to conduct projects with domestic companies. This is because both academia and business circles have been kept in check because they have cartel connections that include professors Jeon Hyung-in.
The situation has been reversed and attention is now being paid to Wonju Research Institute, but the capacity of the institute has also been limited. Also, other universities are bothering me.
Professor, if the project is stopped right now, what about the graduate students or researchers below? What responsibility do they have to suffer?
“President, we haven’t even been able to sell patent licenses domestically, so we’ve had to look overseas. I’ve been running it all this time, Mr. Chairman. But do you care about other industrial-academic connections?”
“The domestic situation is bad.”
“······”
“In other words, whenever this country was in crisis, mint chocolate that the country had not received was brought to life.”
“······”
“We haven’t received anything, but let’s give it back.”
Kang Se-ho shook his head.
“What are you going to do?”
“Why don’t we find a way to link universities and other research institutes together?”
“······ You’ve got a real fire.”
“I don’t have a religion. Didn’t you know?”
“What about complicating the relationship of rights?”
“Divide by contribution.”
“What if Rogue doesn’t accept it?”
“······”
“Jeong Seong-ha, don’t you know Jay’s personality?”
That’s the problem.
I’ll try to convince the tough guy.
I don’t blame the way he treats Korea.
Everyone has different values and lives in different ways. Moreover, it is different to see when the standing position changes. However, the problem is that it is not easy to persuade if the values and way of life collide.
Kim Sang-yeon himself returned to Korea after being attacked, but he abandoned his nationality without hesitation. How do I convince him?

“What are you looking at? Do you work when you get home?”
“No, I was just reading some Korean news.”
I’m watching the aftermath of one press conference.
Korean academia, or Korean society as a whole, has been turned upside down. It will be buried when it is buried even if it is opened publicly, but it cannot be buried easily this time because Rogue is entangled.
Without the announcement of cooperation with the Wonju Institute in Rogue, journalists wouldn’t have flocked in the first place.
It’s nothing new.
The whole world knows whose hand the media will hold when there are people who want to hide and people who want to explode. I’ve always followed the will that will benefit me and I will continue to do so.
There are thousands of articles about A per day on the same kind of case, and it’s hard to find articles about B.
But this time I can’t ask because of Rogue.
To be exact, blue steel is too intense.
Thanks to you, the side I wanted to hide became frustrated.
Dozens of e-mail records are claimed to have been tampered with, but they know that claims don’t work easily.
They didn’t want to scratch Rogue either.
He had no choice but to act as a spokesperson for China because he received Chinese money. And you thought Professor Kim Sang-yeon wouldn’t be able to pop it because he thought of his students and researchers.
He filed a lawsuit against Professor Kim Sang-yeon and Rogue, which eventually strangled himself.
by the way
“Until when are you going to hit Korea like that?”
What’s wrong with him?
I took my eyes off the tablet and looked at Seonghu.
“What do you mean?”
“You’re so confused in Korea.”
“Is that wrong?”
“I’m saying this because you can’t just solve the problem without giving me a way to fix it. He’s just venting on himself because his mom and dad got kicked out. Making it difficult for the general public.”
I corrected my posture.
Seonghu seems to have had a lot on his mind.
“Did I hit the general public?”
“The first thing that collapses in an earthquake is a small building.”
“No, the earthquake is fair. Badly designed buildings collapse fairly. The big building is just a big accident.”
“If a big building collapses, will the building next to it be safe?”
It’s a good thing my father and mother are out.
If you were here, you’d get in trouble for growling.
“What do you want to say?”
“I told you before that bystander was a sin, right?”
“Right.”
“Did you care that much about your surroundings?”
“······”
“Why would you want someone else to do something you couldn’t do? My dad and mom had a hard time at the time, but I couldn’t go out once as soon as I got out of the army. But that’s the problem with the firemen and the journalists who followed them because they caught the case, not the general public.”
“So what’s the problem with the general public?”
Russia is pouring all the money it gives to the Korean market for Victor’s sales in Asia. Thanks to this, even if the Chinese offensive continues, the stock market remains the same, and the import volume of Korean products has already increased significantly in Russia and Ceres’ economic sectors.
Now I’m in America, but I think about my father and mother. I try to reduce the impact as much as I can. And should I bow down to China not to hit Korea?
I want to take a beating, but I put up with it because I don’t know what’s going on. Since when did a madman act so nice?
“It’s hard because I’m nervous.”
“······”
“For the past three years, Korea has been on roller coasters. Some say that the country is going to be ruined these days, which means that I’m nervous. It’s not uncomfortable for a person to make a living now, but it’s hard when the future is unstable.”
“······”
“If you’ve knocked it over, pull it up.”
“······”
“Or in Korea, just let it go and pretend you don’t know. I’ve paid you back enough now. Who’s going to mess with my dad and mom when they go back to Korea now? What do you want me to do?”
I think I have to tell you.
“I was right to vent my anger, as you said.”
“Not now?”
“Now, of course, I’m taking it out.”
“And?”
“But I didn’t cross the line after I vented my anger. If I really crossed the line, what would be the situation in Korea by now?”
“······”
“What if we supply Victor without Korea right now?”
“······”
“You know I went to Washington last month, right?”
“I know.”
“After the inauguration ceremony, you met the Chinese prime minister separately? I’ll help you shake off Korea, so let’s hold hands. After rejecting it, I started hitting Korea in China, but in Korea, there are people who say it’s all Rogue’s responsibility. Make a connection.”
If you still don’t understand it, it’s not worth talking to.
” · · · · · · All those people are pro-Chinese?”
“Would it be better for me to join hands with China and eat Korea? Would you rather take this opportunity to wipe out those people?”
“Ha! Damn it!”
I’m coming out with swearing, dude.
I’ve been to the 1st tier of DIA, and I’m sure they’ve heard a lot of creative swear words of course. It’s not that I don’t swear because I don’t know.
Suddenly, I feel like smoking.
That’s why you can endure smoking for the rest of your life.
“I’m an American now.”
“Who said that?”
“We’ve lost all of our pride in Korea.”
“······”
“But do you know what shit is?”
“······”
“At one point, I would not be able to see China or Japan rushing to defeat my country or my defeat.”
“······ I know what you mean. I get it, but give me medicine so that I don’t fall down. Get up and beat me up. My mom and dad do, but I will live in Korea, too.”
“Then give me the medicine.”
Why do you open your eyes so wide?
When did you unpack your piles?
“What do you mean?”
“You said you’d send Rogue to a Korean corporation when you graduate, right?”
“Uh.”
“Since there’s only one left, let’s start the transition now.”
“······”
“Just remember one thing instead. Don’t just give me medicine, but do a good job of cleaning up. If you can’t do it, I’ll do it my way.”
“What about you?”
“I care about my country.”

“It’s a shame that Jay only focuses on the subject.”
President Howard looked up at the Secretary of Commerce.
“Why is that a shame?”
“The Blue Steel. The 2nd alloy development is open to the world, and I’m wondering what it would have been like if it were only solved in the U.S. Rather, Rogue developed a secondary alloy.”
“No matter what form of secondary alloy is developed, isn’t it in the interests of the United States if the base is blue steel? We don’t give the original Blue Steel license other than Russia.”
“It’s a problem because there’s a voice mixed with complaints.”
The Oval Office’s atmosphere has subsided.
The United States is a lobbyist paradise, a country where lobbying is legal.
There is a 100 percent chance that what the Secretary of Commerce says is to speak for the voice of the industry concerned. It wasn’t something to be ignored.
“What’s your complaint?”
“If the steel materials needed were to be developed in other countries, American companies would have to import them again. Rather than buying materials developed in the U.S., the cost problem will be bigger, so companies will not be happy.”
“You’re saying that Rogue is the only one who benefits.”
“Yes, Rogue is a structure that increases profits as secondary alloy development is diversified, but it’s not a different company.”
You can’t openly complain.
Rogue is too much of a dinosaur for that.
However, on days when such small complaints gather and burst into laughter, it becomes difficult to deal with them. In the meantime, the story of the disbandment of a dinosaur company that has gone deep within the Democratic Party could emerge to the surface again.
Attempt to dismantle Rogue?
If you know Jay’s temperament, you should never bring it up.
“Compared to the marathon now, American companies are starting at least a kilometer ahead. Does it make sense to go into the 2nd alloy study first and complain?”
“That’s what I’m saying. But Kim Sang-yeon, a professor in Korea, is the first person to come up with the idea of using alpha iron, so he’s worried that your research will accelerate.”
More so because Rogue promised active cooperation.
Rogue is already an emperor if you compare it to a feudal system. The priests are wary of the Emperor’s affection flowing elsewhere.
If this happens, the worst-case scenario will result in the world.
