Chapter 500

Buckinghamshire mansion.

Grace Rothschild, speechless, watched the spacecraft exit the atmosphere. The marks on the fuselage and the words CNSA indicated that the spacecraft belonged to the Chinese National Air Force.

Grace Rothschild, who had just been convinced of victory, quickly grasped the situation.

When Fat Phoenix exploded, hedge funds began selling short to close the market, and the market was crashing as intended. However, as soon as China announced the successful launch of the Chang’e 8, the market began to rebound.

Short selling was poured out to create a downtrend again, but the market recovered the decline and turned to wait-and-see.

Grant’s eyelids trembled faintly.

[Did you know that Space Z was going to fail?]

“Did you even see this as a foreshadowing?”

[Or read our number.]

Perhaps they have been planning since the time they went to China the other day. That said, he knew that this was going to happen before that.

China was focusing its efforts on defending the foreign exchange market. But I guess he was preparing something like this from behind.

China continued to be vigilant. However, the continent was wide and the financial market was more closed, so there was no choice but to limit the access to information.

Considering that the work was carried out in complete secret, it is highly likely that President Zhang Pinghua ordered it directly. If things fail, he too will be unable to avoid political responsibility.

‘Did you trust Jinhoo Kang enough to take on such an adventure?’

Grant closed his eyes and opened them.

[We should also consider the possibility of failure.]

At that, Grace bit her lip slightly.

All conditions met perfectly. It was a plan that could never fail. However, a completely unexpected variable shook the market.

In the market, the one with more money has an absolute advantage. The Rothschilds used capital to create huge flows, and they drew a lot of capital into them.

However, Jinhoo Kang succeeded in creating a new trend against this.

It is the individual participants that move the market. People are now starting to think about the possibility of Kang Jin-hoo’s success.

Grace mumbled.

“Can an individual really beat the market?”

Breaking news was pouring out every moment in the news.

The world is noisy. Fortunately, the stock market and the yuan depreciated temporarily stopped.

I did everything I could.

Now it all depends on Chang’e 8. Will it be possible to find geratinium in the sea of ​​abundance and then mine it and return safely to Earth?

After taking a deep breath, I got a phone call from the Kremlin.

President Vysotsky spoke in a tired voice, and the interpreter delivered it directly into Korean.

[How much more do you plan to surprise me? If you had known, would you have told me in advance?]

“Sorry.”

The ruble and the stock market fell indefinitely as the economic crisis and fears of war overlapped.

If I hadn’t stopped the offensive by loosening the dollar in the foreign exchange market, Russia would have already declared a default.

If that had been the case, there would have been an all-out war in Ukraine.

[By the way, are there really geratinium mines on the moon?]

“After a while, you will find out.”

It takes about four days for a spacecraft to reach the moon. And after arriving in the Sea of ​​Abundance, exploring and mining, you have to come back with samples.

“Russia must also hurry. Geranium will be the gold of the 21st century.”

[Are we saying that we should also go to the moon and ask for it?]

“Yes.”

If Chang’e 8 succeeds, there will be a gold rush to the moon. There is a geratinium mine in the Sea of ​​Abundance, and this mine has no owner.

All you have to do is go and mine the minerals that are more expensive than gold first.

As long as there is a certainty that it will make money, all countries and companies will jump into geratinium mining.

Space Z will launch another spacecraft, and other private space companies such as Red Origin, Science Orbital, and Virgin Galaxy will also rush to launch. Europe, India and Japan will also jump into this competition.

However, those with the skills and capital to go to the moon are limited.

For Russia, a new opportunity has opened up.

Russia’s economy is virtually identical to OPEC in terms of resource exports. The competitiveness of the manufacturing industry is generally lagging, and most of the high-tech products depend on imports.

But in the space field, it’s a different story.

The Soviet Union, the predecessor of Russia, once competed in space with the United States, and Russia, which inherited that technology, is still a space power, launching the most satellites and spacecraft after the United States and China.

“If you had started a war, you would have missed this opportunity.”

After Russia declared war on Ukraine, eastern small towns with many Russian residents declared independence and waged civil war with government forces. Volunteers to support the independence of Novo Russia also joined the battle.

Fortunately, the Russian regular army stopped at the border and did not enter Ukrainian territory, neither did NATO forces.

At my words, President Vysotsky burst into laughter.

[There must be a lot of work to be done with OTK Company in the future.]

Russia has technological prowess, but lacks capital and manpower. OTK Company and Korea will be able to fully support this.

Of course, we have no intention of relying on China for its most important resource, geratinium. If we are to continue to take the initiative, the more sources we have, the better. That way we can compete with each other and lower the price.

Seoseong SB Suwon production plant.

Chairman Im Jin-yong did not go home after being released from the detention center with jewels, ate and slept with the researchers here, and tried to make battery packs and mass production lines using JN batteries.

Professor Homin Kim and researchers from the OTK Research Institute also collaborated here.

Creating a technology and commercializing it are two completely different things. It can be as short as a few years or as long as several decades.

For example, although OLED devices were invented in 1987, it took 20 years for the product to actually be mass-produced, and it took several years for it to become popular.

Chairman Im Jin-yong sighed.

“It’s not easy to get the yield up,” he said. Four out of five are defective.”

Professor Homin Kim made a bitter expression.

“It’s only 20 percent.”

“The production method is completely different from NCM batteries as well as OTK batteries. Even a small mistake in the production process results in a defective product.”

This meant that it would take five times as much geratinium to make a real good battery.

It would be nice to be able to re-use the geratinium by tearing off the failed product, but it was impossible because it had already undergone a chemical reaction.

Each time it failed, hundreds of millions of won of geratinium turned into garbage.

Chairman Im Jin-yong said.

“We are getting a lot of inquiries from all over the world. You’ll need to pull it up at least 50 percent to start production. Even if that happens, it won’t be possible to go through a day with the geratinium we have now.

As soon as JN Battery was announced, geratinium disappeared from the market. Now even if I gave money, I couldn’t buy it.

Anyway, this was expected. That’s why I couldn’t afford to mass-produce it.

“I hope that CEO Kang Jin-hoo’s plan will succeed.”

As the launch time approached, the employees who had stayed up all night with their eyes open gathered in front of the TV.

There were sighs and groans at the explosion of Fat Phoenix, followed by shouts and cheers at the news of the successful launch of Chang’e 8.

Chairman Im Jin-yong laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“Did you know?”

Professor Homin Kim also smiled and shook his head.

“I didn’t know either, but… … I also think that Kang Jin-hoo is representative.”

“I feel like I am standing in the middle of history.”

“Maybe we are shaping the future.”

All of a sudden, all the researchers had their eyes shining.

Until now, there were people who were skeptical about whether to mass-produce or not. But now everyone is convinced.

Chairman Im Jin-yong said, clapping his hands lightly.

“Chang’e 8 will return with geratinium. Until then, we must build a production line. Seoseong SB will go down in history as the world’s first company to release JN batteries.”

I got on a private plane to go to China. This time I got a call from President Ronald.

“Hello, President.”

he said bluntly.

[I can’t say hi. It was during the NSC meeting just before.]

China secretly launched the rocket, which the US did not detect. Even if it is a spaceship, not an ICBM, the United States has no choice but to accept it as a serious threat to national security.

[Somehow, they said that they are quiet about the Chinese movement these days, but I guess they were preparing for something like this. They deceived me like crazy.]

There was sadness in the way he spoke.

“There is a saying that to deceive the enemy, deceive the allies first.”

Taek-gyu was the only one who knew about this plan from the beginning. No one knew, except for China, where the work was put into practice.

Eli too, Hyunjoo noona, Sangyeop senior, Chairman Im Jinyong, Allen Everheart… … .

I still heard one voice at a time.

[You succeeded in persuading President Yongke Zhang Pinghua. It must not have been easy.]

“It was easier than when I had persuaded the President before.”

At my words, he burst into laughter.

[Hahaha! Anyway, I gave them one shot properly.]

Perhaps he knows too. Those who threaten by grasping his own weakness are the same opponents I fight with.

[How did you know that Space Z was going to fail?]

“I didn’t know either.”

I just assumed that the Rothschilds weren’t watching. I didn’t know it would explode like this.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[I wanted to ask you before, but… … Big One and this time as well. Why are you doing something so reckless? Aren’t you afraid?]

I shook my head.

“no. I am afraid too.”

My hands and feet are still trembling, and cold sweat is running down my back.

In a capitalist society, money is a person’s status, ability, and essential tool for survival. The more you have, the more you have to lose.



Losing a lot of money is a fear that makes you think you’d be better off dead.

[Then why are you doing this?]

I remembered what I had been through.

Even a single failure can lead you to the edge of a cliff. Nevertheless, I risked everything and jumped in every time.

If I hadn’t done that at Big One, millions of people would have died and the world, including America, would be in chaos.

The same is true of this financial crisis.

I remembered the sights I had seen in my dreams. Protests, riots, terrorism, wars, divisions… … .

Why do we have to stop all these things?

Are you afraid that the Korean economy will collapse together? Will the People’s Liberation Army trample Hong Kong? Will war break out in Ukraine?

Was I that righteous?

No, it’s all just bullshit.

It seemed to be known now. The reason I do this is… … .

“I am an investor.”

What investors do is make money by investing. And investing inevitably comes with risks.

What I do is far from justice.

President Zhang Pinghua or President Vysotsky is a dictator no matter how good the words are. Ronald also committed crimes worthy of impeachment.

Nevertheless, none of the three have any intention of letting go of power. Perhaps after their downfall, a better leader will emerge.

Those with power want more power, and those with money want more money.

Rothschilds, hedge funds, other investors… … Everyone is acting for their own benefit.

So do I.

There is no right or wrong, good or evil in the market. The just and good don’t succeed, and the greedy and evil don’t fail.

There are only profits and losses.

“Investors only move for profit.”

If you fail, you lose everything, but if you succeed, you gain everything.

I couldn’t see his expression because he was on the phone, but I could guess what kind of expression he had.

[Good luck, my friend.]
