God of Money 183

After Han Gumin left, the two had a private conversation.”So according to your analysis, I will lose the next election.””That’s right. By 4 percent.””4% isn’t very big.””Exactly. This means there is a way for you to win.””Would this involve an illegal method?””We will be entering a grey area.”Lee Myungin looked at Woosung and asked, “Tell me.””I think it’s best you don’t know.””How could I not know about it when it will affect my career? Whatever happens, it will be my responsibility, and I am willing to accept it.”Woosung took a sip of his drink. Lee Myungin was different than other politicians he met. That was probably why in Woosung’s previous life, Lee Myungin became the President of Korea.”I have some information on the current President and the next strongest liberal candidate, Kim Junghee. This information is bad enough that it could ruin them.”Lee Myungin asked firmly, “Did you get this information illegally?”Woosung answered without hesitation.”No.”It was information Woosung knew from his previous life.Lee Myungin asked, “Will to accomplish this illegally?””I see that you value the rules.””If I don’t, I am no better than them, and what would be the point then?””You really believe that the process is more important than the result? You are too idealistic.””I think your dream to create a worldwide currency is also idealistic.”Woosung took a sip of his soju. He replied, “I will do my best.””You must follow the law.””Even if that means you may lose the election?”Lee Myungin nodded without hesitation. Woosung answered, “Alright.”Lee Myungin smiled in satisfaction and replied, “Good.” Early in the morning.When Woosung returned home, he read the report on his desk. “BS and JH investigation results.” It was the report Woosung requested on the current President Lee Parksung and the leader of the liberal party Kim Junghee.”I knew it.”The report confirmed Woosung’s knowledge of the future. The two politicians’ illegal activities filled the pages. “Abuse of authority””Accepting bribery.””Violation of public election law.”During the next election, Woosung knew Daeyang would support the liberal party. By making Lee Myungin win, Woosung would be able to damage Daeyang.”I know he wants me to find the proofs legally, but I can’t keep that promise.” Woosung murmured. Woosung sat in front of his computer and checked the number of bitcoins.11 million bitcoins.Unfortunately, the rate of mining has decreased recently, but this meant the others probably had an even harder time accumulating them.”I now have over half of the available bitcoins in the world. I can use this to destroy Choi Gichul by controlling the price. It’s a perfect plan.”He already did it once recently to Jung Jinsup, and it worked flawlessly.”Bitcoin was just a PoC. Coconut Coin will be the true world currency.” Woosung frowned after studying the screen. He noticed some unknown agencies were accumulating a significant number of bitcoins.”Maybe Nakamoto Satoshi… But it doesn’t matter. I will be the ultimate winner in the end.”Things were going as he planned.”After I accomplish my revenge, I will be able to finally enjoy my life.”He would date beauties and travel the world in his private jet. *** December 19, 2011.North Korea’s leader Kim Jungil died just as he did in Woosung’s previous life. The government declared a national emergency. KOSPI dropped as Woosung expected.He made hundreds of millions of dollars once again, but he felt nothing anymore. He had so much money that a million dollars were nothing to him. Woosung asked Julia, “We can’t wait for an answer forever. It’s time for us to act.””So we will go ahead with BNP Paribas?”Woosung nodded and replied, “We could now make an international transfer within 10 seconds. We are ready.””How about JP…””I called them yesterday, and they asked me to wait a little bit longer. I take that as a no.”Julia’s eyes widened. She asked, “If you do this before they give you an answer, you will no longer have a good relationship with JP. You will piss them off.””Who cares.””Even if you have the best of the technology, you can’t accomplish everything all by yourself. Things can change quickly. If Google or Facebook get involved… It would have been better if we never even asked JP…””It took me this long to get where I am with my cryptocurrency. For Google or Facebook to create their own cryptocurrency, and make it available… It won’t be easy.””But if they get cooperation from JP or other big financial companies, it can happen. You are underestimating them.”Woosung laughed, “I think it’s you who’s underestimating me, Julia. The entire US can try, but I will win in the end.””Why?””Because I know.”Julia shook her head. Woosung continued, “I will now start promoting the blockchain business. Bitcoin’s price will jump. Many developers will get involved to make money. Other cryptocurrencies will appear.”Woosung saw this happen in his previous life.”So?””We need to be the first in this cryptocurrency industry. We need to incorporate our Coconut Coin into BNP Paribas, Chinese and Japanese banks.””You mean I need to?””That’s right. I already arranged the meetings. You need to travel around and get the contracts signed. You’ll need to go all over Asia.””I will become very busy.”Woosung nodded. “I will stay in Korea and continue working on Coconut Coins and blockchain.”Julia nodded. “Alright. I will get it done.””Julia, this is your chance to become famous in the financial world. Do your best.”Julia bit her lips and nodded in determination.
