CEO’s holiday

“How does it feel to ride a bicycle to work in the cold wind?”

“good. older brother.”

I rode a bicycle with Lee Jong-yeop early in the morning.

There is no summer or winter in San Francisco all year round, but the temperature dropped to around 10 degrees in the morning.

It was cold enough to go to work.

“Wouldn’t breathing this clean air clear your mind?”

“Yes. older brother.”

“It’s hard to feel the fun of moving while rolling the pedals in a car.”

“you’re right. older brother.”

While talking with Lee Jong-yeop, we arrived at the building with Earth Resources.

Arcor, who had been hoping to become a lifelong employer.

Now, the scale of Earth Resource has become much bigger than the Seoul branch of Arcor.

Although the headquarters and factories in Germany may have tens of thousands of employees.

Being the CEO of a company made me feel different every day.

“Jong-yeop. Is it okay to go to work like this? When you’re pedaling hard, you feel like you’re completely focused on yourself. It’s also a great way to keep fit.”

“Yes. Sure.”

Parked the bike and explained.

Is there anyone else who thinks of subordinates like me?

Oh Myung-woo did not like bicycles.

How much fun it is to ride a bicycle to work in the morning in the cold wind, but even if I persuaded him, he did not follow.

“13 kilometers on a bicycle is a very short time.”

“okay?”

“When I commute to Arkor, I had to go around the Han River a little, so it was a distance of 25 kilometers. Riding 50 kilometers every day made my body healthy.”

You can exercise and save money on transportation.

We went up to the office talking about the advantages of bicycles for a long time.

“Jongyeop-ah, isn’t it difficult?”

“It is not difficult. My mind is clear and I feel good.”

“Good. Let’s ride our bikes to work tomorrow too.”

“yep. older brother.”

The Earth Resource business was successful, so I felt the fun of making money.

A pleasure that is different from earning through investment.

“CEO. I think we need to secure additional work space.”

“yes. Try renting a usable office in one of the nearby buildings.”

If the work is different from the previous week, the promotion of work has accelerated as employees are recruited for each division.

“I really want to join Earth Resources.”

“The spirit of constant challenge. I think Source Coin is at its core.”

As Earth Resources became famous as a rising star in Silicon Valley, its talented employees put out their résumés.

The people who came to the interview looked at me and their eyes twinkled.

“It is an honor to meet CEO Kim Shin.”

“Are you honored?”

“You started out penniless and became a huge net worth person, and you built the Earth Resources business one by one, starting with an idea. You are my role model.”

What rumors are spreading in Silicon Valley?

Beyond a young entrepreneur, he was looking at me as a heavyweight businessman.

It feels like the bridge of the nose is raised automatically and the shoulders are shaken.

“CEO.”

“yes?”

Lee Jong-yeop thoroughly called me CEO at the company.

Company senior, Assistant Manager Kim, older brother.

In the meantime, I have been called by various titles, but as CEO, one more title has been added.

“The CEO was very popular in Korea through YouTube, but I didn’t expect it to be like this in the US.”

“It’s a bubble. It’s only in San Francisco.”

“How is that? It’s something no one else can do.”

It was not wrong.

There was nothing wrong with his reputation as an entrepreneur leading a promising Silicon Valley company.

The company’s day-to-day work had to be interviewed frequently with magazines and media, instead of gradually decreasing as employees were recruited.

“Our goal is to create a source coin ecosystem. We will actively challenge more fields.”

In front of American TV cameras, he made similar remarks at a shopping mall meeting.

Even though it’s a local California broadcast, it’s a huge thing when you look at the entrepreneurship period.

life reverse.

Found the bitcoins left by his father and called them investments.

It was just around winter, so my life changed drastically in just two and a half years.

The world was also changing rapidly.

〈U.S., European entry ban〉

〈Stock market and oil prices plummet due to entry ban from Europe〉

〈FEB again intervenes in the market〉

〈The Fed has increased its $1.5 trillion liquidity supply again〉

〈The U.S. stock market, casinos, airlines, and cruise stocks crashed〉

〈Dow Index 10% Drop, Worst Since Black Monday〉

〈Corona 19, more than 60 million deaths at worst〉

The crash of the New York stock market and the spread of fear.

Since Earth Resources is not a publicly traded company, it was difficult to feel the direct impact, but concerns about an economic downturn grew.

As the United States coughed heavily, the Korean stock market triggered a circuit breaker with a sidecar and was not in a frenzy.

〈Pershing Square Capital, 100x Return on Derivatives〉

〈Billionaire Bill Ackman achieves 10,000% return in the corona crash〉

〈Hedge funds that predicted COVID-19, shining returns in a crash market〉

In the midst of that, there were people who made a profit in the New York stock market.

The article featured people who made huge profits not from stock price appreciation, but from trading derivatives on put options or corporate default rates.

‘Those who swim between greed and fear.’

The strange feeling I felt when selling Bitcoin and buying Ripple.

The feeling of buying a put option in anticipation of a stock market crash due to corona.

Which side to bet on and which decision to make. I feel that way when I read the article.

‘March was a market of fear.’

I run a company with the dream of becoming a good representative, but I felt that my instinct as an investor was wriggling from time to time.

When Lee Jong-yeop came to the United States, he made up his mind.

I thought he would be completely different from Kim Shin of the past.

‘Earth Resources. It might become a company that moves the world.’

Looking at the interviews with the employees, each of them had a great dream. So, I made up my mind firmly.

‘I won’t be a burden to my brother. It won’t fail.’

A three-room apartment.

One was decorated as a game room, but when Lee Jong-yeop came, he moved the fish into the living room.

On weekdays, I was busy working hard and figuring out the work structure of Earth Resources.

Since it was the first weekend, I was going to look at the materials of the employees and study about the cloud… … .

“Try this.”

“Yes?”

“Would you like to try it and let me know what you think? It is very important.”

I was caught by Oh Myeong-woo from the morning and had to play a game called Star Dew Valley on the living room computer.

Abandoned farm, clearing wasteland, planting strawberries or potatoes.

“you’re good.”

“I’ve done it before.”

“Have you tried it?”

“When I was in middle school and high school, I also liked games a lot. Until I went to college and fell for a girl. I’ve been playing this game for months.”

“Well. Dating is the enemy of the game. For the development of the game industry, everyone has to become mothers.”

Kim Shin, who woke up a little late, joined after eating ramen for the first meal.

“Myungwoo. Let’s play ranked games.”

“I’m sorry. I can’t give up on weekend rolls.”

A person who created a unicorn company with an asset value of over $1 billion in just one month.

Kim Shin was living a more comfortable life than before.

“Brothers. It’s gold. I know how to roll too.”

“What is your tier?”

Lee Jong-yeop logged in with his Diamond 3 account.

I spent the weekend with Oh Myeong-woo and Lee Jong-yeop.

A perfect break from playing games in the morning and going to a nearby restaurant in the evening to have steak and beer.

After becoming rich, it was not a waste no matter how much money I spent on food.

KakaoTalk!

I was just about to stand up at a restaurant when the text came.

―Lee Ho-yeon: There are results in vaccine development.

bio life.

They were developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19.

There was a lot of investment so far, but the amount supported by mining was also enormous.

‘I said that it would be difficult for large pharmaceutical companies to develop a vaccine within this year.’

I knew the rough situation from watching the news.

I was thinking of failure, but even so, I had no intention of blaming the people who worked hard.

―Kim Shin: Thank you for your hard work. What level is it?

―Lee Ho-yeon: We plan to start pre-clinical trials next week.

For a moment, I doubted the text on my phone.

-Kim Shin: Yes? Preclinical?

―Lee Ho-yeon: The design of the protein structure has been completed. Based on the deep learning analysis, the immune effect was judged to be over 90%, and pre-clinical trials are planned.

―Kim Shin: Really?

I knew that Dr. Lee Ho-yeon was a researcher who risked his life to dig a well, but at this moment, he was considered a fraud.

In order to develop a vaccine, it must pass pre-clinical and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd clinical trials.

Since it takes 15 to 30 months for each period to thoroughly check stability, the total development period was set at 10 years.

―Kim Shin: It may take several years, but the first step is starting early.

―Lee Ho-yeon: John says that the US will be able to give you expedited approval.

-Kim Shin: Really?

I couldn’t help but repeat the same thing over and over again like an idiot.

-Lee Ho-yeon: Yes. It seems that the vaccine development period will be greatly shortened. If there are no or few side effects, if only there is an effect.

Even after investing trillions of won in new drug development, it fails.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Vaccines are inevitably different from anticancer drugs, but nonetheless, the company I invested in came out with a product and really went into clinical trials.

―Lee Ho-yeon: I think other large pharmaceutical companies will also complete their development in about a month or two.

―Kim Shin: Really?

―Lee Ho-yeon: It seems that your companies are developing using the mRNA method.

It was a word I didn’t know at all.

You can find out what mRNA is later on the internet.

―Kim Shin: Thank you very much for your hard work.

-Lee Ho-yeon: No. We don’t even know how effective the vaccine is.

―Kim Shin: The very fact that you actually made it is important. It’s okay if you fail. Please keep trying until corona is completely over.

―Lee Ho-yeon: That is my dream. thank you

The St. Regis Hotel, New York.

Seven men gathered in the suite.

Jim and Kwon Do-jin, who had visited Kim Shin before, were also present.

“The Fed is helping our business.”

“The same goes for the US government. Large-scale financial spending will generate interest in virtual currencies.”

The collapse of the New York stock market is painful for ordinary investors, but on the contrary, virtual currencies could be in the limelight.

The currency value of the dollar, yen, and euro could fall significantly due to the issuance power of the political world and the central bank.

That’s why Bitcoin and virtual currencies started to make reliable money.

In reality, due to extreme volatility, it was being traded more as an investment asset than in its original meaning.

“I heard Source Coin is popular. The company’s ability to drive business is incredible.”

Founder of Coin Exchange.

“Several coin communities are paying attention to Source Coin. A record for possibilities and speed of development.”

A whale that holds a large amount of coins.

“Source Coin could act as a black hole in Silicon Valley. I’m worried about the coins we made being buried.”

From a European financial family to a person who invested a large amount in coins.

Those who do business centered on coins gathered here.

said Jim with a laugh.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I met the person in person.”

“Jim, are you?”

“I met here with Dojin. He will join us soon.”

“Are you joining?”

“You can’t turn down the opportunity to make a lot of money.”

“If the company that issued Source Coin joins hands with us, our business will be really comfortable. We can win-win with each other.”

The coins they hold or issue are linked to the source coin.

It was judged that this alone would have a tremendous wealth effect on each coin.

“Then we need to increase the number of coins.”

“why?”

“Coins known to the public have already been sold, so our stake is small. Newly created coins have a higher rate of return than coins with a total value of hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“I’ll have to come up with some ideas.”

“Let’s invest 2 million dollars each and make about 7 coins. They could be worth $2 billion.”
