Chapter 29 A dream is just a dream

[Next news. Today, the price per share of Ajin Electronics has achieved a phenomenal record of exceeding 5 million won during the intraday. This is the stock price that Chairman Lee Jun-hee publicly announced when Arcadia was announced in the past, and many investors were enthusiastic about it

..... ]

He tried to calm himself down and let out an uncomfortable moan.

“What the hell is Ajin Electronics doing, how do you create such nonsense?”

Dreamer, a virtual reality connector.

The virtual reality division of Ajin Electronics, which is in charge of all connectors supplied worldwide. As their factories are operating 24 hours a day to meet the increasing order volume, the quarterly sales were also showing an unimaginable increase rate, and it was a joke.

“What the hell are you guys doing sitting at your office desk? Are you trying to find a new business or are you growing an existing business?”

The GM Group grew into a large Korean conglomerate through the construction and automobile industries. In the past, there was a brilliant period when the ranking of the business world was higher than that of the Ajin Group, but recently, the gap has widened beyond comparison, so Chairman Choi Chun-shik was uncomfortable.

“That... Chairman, we also saw a 21% increase in sales compared to the previous quarter...”

Bang!

“Is this the time to brag about a 21% increase? The Azin Group rose by 125%! 125%!”

“...Sorry, Chairman.”

A bizarre situation where even though it rose by 21% compared to the previous quarter, it should be criticized rather than praised. However, the inferiority complex that Chairman Choi Chun-sik had built up for a long time toward Ajin Group was huge, so he didn't like the current results at all.

“At my time! uh? I thought about how to grow the company more every day, but I can't see young people these days doing that. I always get off work on time. What is it? It's overtime, it's a dinner party, and everyone tries not to participate. Only then can you develop a sense of loyalty to the company!”

The meeting room was filled with chilly cold at the GM chairman's words.

“I’m sorry, Chairman.”

“We will do our best to inspire employees’ loyalty to the company.”

“Our affiliates recently organized a mountain climbing club on the weekend, and employees are highly engaged and satisfied with it. It is said that you can increase your loyalty to the company while doing these activities...” “

Even if it’s not that, holding a 4-day, 3-night workshop with all employees

every quarter...” A meeting room full of the smell of old school, where secret plans are pouring out. Chairman Choi Chun-sik, who was sitting quietly in the room and listening to the presidents of each affiliate of the GM Group, jumped up from his seat and shouted,

“Next quarter! Discover new business by next quarter! Innovative and excellent in business, come make future food to feed our group! okay?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“We will try our best to find out.”

“I will make sure to bring results that will not disappoint!”

Chairman Choi Chun-shik's face was filled with irritation as he left the meeting after the meeting.

“Eh. I don't know what it's like for these people to work on their salary only.”

In the past, to be exact, the GM Group was at a similar level to the Ajin Group until about five years ago. However, unlike them, which grew explosively by launching various innovative products starting with smartphones developed by Ajin Electronics, GM Group was staying at a similar level to the past.

difference in growth rates. And as the reason for the gap, Chairman Choi Chun-shik saw it as a matter of discovering new businesses.

“New business..... I only need to catch the right ones...”

Chairman Choi Chun-sik was also looking around personally, apart from the instructions given to the presidents. And one of them was a business brought by his youngest son, who happened to be a nerd.

“I have something to report to you, Chairman.”

Jae-gyu's assistant who came knocking on the door of the office. Chairman Choi Chun-shik's eyes became sharp as he looked at him.

“What else?”

Chairman Choi Chun-shik shows a vigilant attitude. That's also the case, because every time Jae-gyu's secretary came to visit, he consistently asked for money.

“We need more money.”

“This crazy...! hey! Do you think that makes sense now?”

When his youngest son first came, exclaiming that he would try virtual reality properly, Chairman Choi Chun-shik had no idea. He had the feeling that he would know nothing if he didn't have an accident and just stay quiet, but he changed his mind after receiving a proper business report from his assistant.

“Chairman, virtual reality is not just a simple game. Even within this, the economy is running in the same way as the real economy, and it is a game enjoyed by people all over the world. If we can monopolize the economy here, the benefits to be derived are also enormous.”

Arcadia, where everything is virtual. Since no one was paying attention to the economy in this area yet, if GM Group preoccupied this place as soon as possible, it could benefit greatly from it. However, Chairman Choi Chun-shik could not easily understand such a concept.

“Didn't you say before that there were no expenses other than capsules and game fees? But now, what more money do you need!”

Originally, money that had nothing to go out other than capsules and game fees. However, because the time and effort he had to spend to earn gold in the game was replaced with cash, the cost that Jegyu consumed was beyond imagination.

“The money I poured into you guys for two months alone is 8 billion! 8 billion! I don’t think that is the name of your dog!”

8 billion investment. A small amount of money to buy a small building in downtown Seoul went into just one game. If he had just asked for it, he would have kicked him out right away, but Chairman Choi Chun-shik picked up the paperwork he presented.

“This is a business that the young master is working on.”

Thick business report. The long-awaited report detailed the youngest son's play record, how the invested funds were used, and future plans and estimated profits.

“what? Is this possible in the game?”

“That's right.”

“Huh.....”

After reading his report, President Choi Chun-shik changed his judgment a bit. Intense and sophisticated political maneuvers taking place inside what was thought to be a simple game. And in the meantime, he was even slightly proud of the actions of the youngest son, a trouble maker trying to make a profit.

“Heh heh.... That guy’s job is a merchant? They say blood can't be tricked, even in games...”

“You don't play games. He is seriously thinking of it as a business and working hard.”

Chairman Choi Jun-sik, who was delighted by the sugar coating of his assistant. He positively began to consider the business prospects outlined in the papers.

“So... the Maroon kingdom is going to war with the Pakel kingdom, and Jaegyu plans to buy grain in large quantities from there to make a profit?”

“That's right. Most of the funds that the president has supported have been used for this work, and we need more support.”

“Hmm.....”

Chairman Choi Chun-sik looks at this business from a cool perspective. He calculated in his head for a moment, then asked him.

“Isn't this enough? If a war broke out, would you still be able to profit enough? I don’t know why they would increase the risk by investing additional money.”

A risk that must be considered by him as a businessman. It was not a sensible decision to inject additional funds into a still hypothetical, albeit highly probable, war. It is a situation where the risk only increases compared to the expected profit.

“Chairman, this isn’t just for profit on the price of grain.”

“what?”

“Please read the future business plan written on the last page of the report.”

Chairman Choi Chun-sik turned over the last page at the words of the attendant's secretary who begged in a strong tone. He glanced over the contents of the report with squinted eyes and started tapping the calculator in his head.

“In exchange for complying with the request of the Duke of Bergen, the next powerful person in the Maroon Kingdom, you will have exclusive authority in the Maroon Kingdom...” Not

simply buying grain to gain market profits, but becoming the real power of a kingdom. A situation in which a lot of interests were promised in collusion with. If all of these plans come true, not just hypotheses...

“We need to monopolize the grain market and go to the level where we can control the quantity, rather than simply buying a lot of grain. Otherwise, the deal with the duke will be in vain, Chairman.”

An executive secretary who can be felt even earnestly. At those words, Chairman Choi Chun-sik stared at him quietly. They work hand in hand with a powerful person to achieve what he wants, and in return, they get a lot of benefits.

“Huh.....”

Chairman Choi Chun-sik laughed involuntarily. Isn't this what you see in real life? He said sharply, thinking of his youngest son who was experiencing things in the game that he and the presidents of large corporations would have experienced at least once in the past.

“50 billion.”

“yes?”

“Look at solving it with 50 billion. Absolutely no more than that!”

“thank you! President! thank you!”

The attendant secretary shouted thank you over and over, banging her head on the floor as if the funds were more than she could have imagined. Chairman Choi Chun-sik shouted to him as if to warn him.

“You said it was a business, so let’s look at it that way. I'm not paying pennies for some kid's game, so you'd think it'd be worth it.”

“Trust me, President! I will make it a success!”

Chairman Choi Chun-sik waved his hand at the words of the accompanying secretary and issued a congratulatory order. After he left, Chairman Choi Chun-sik read the report on the desk again.

“Keuk.... These fucking electronic guys.”

A world where secret drugs, deals, and conspiracies predominate, so it wouldn't be strange to say it's real. Chairman Choi Chun-shik's heart began to pound as he watched his son, who was active as a merchant in it. The story of an exciting world where things that would be illegal in reality happen as if they were taken for granted amidst the boredom felt every day. Even just hearing such stories, the romance that had been thought dead was still alive in the heart of Chairman Choi Chun-shik.

“This is why stock prices are flying around without knowing that they are sky high.”

The stock price of Ajin Electronics makes me feel sick just thinking about it. Just looking at President Lee Jun-hee, whose smile never leaves his face these days, made Choi Chun-sik sick to his stomach.

“Even if I can't keep up with your technological prowess, at least I'll pick out and eat everything I can pick out from there.”

A virtual world created through collaboration between Ajin Electronics and two of the world's leading conglomerates. There was nowhere else the GM Group could stick a straw in that gigantic business, but Chairman Choi Chun-sik let his imagination run wild. The appearance of the top of the GM group, not the GM group, which will suck up the profits of those on the other side by putting straws in the game.

However, Chairman Choi Chun-shik did not know. Contrary to his wishes, all these plans will be completely destroyed by one person more evil than the devil, and his imagination will remain only imagination.
