There was no reason to refuse a private meeting with Alec Carver, vice president of Cargill Company, a global grain company, so I followed him to the outskirts of the party where refreshments were placed.

As I got farther away from people, I could barely hear the conversation over the soft music. After confirming that he had distanced himself far enough from his father, Alec opened his mouth.

“(Kim Jae-goo. I heard a lot about it from Elisa.)”

It also seemed to have something to do with Elisa.

“(What is your relationship with Elisa Carver?)”

“(This is my older brother.)”

After hearing that, I saw more similarities. Even the way she smiles resembles Elisa.

“(Thanks for inviting Elisa to Della Foster’s party. She was such a big fan.)”

“(The Carver family must have been invited to Della Foster’s party…)”

Alec Carver looked at his father. He was talking to Brayden with a slightly relaxed face than before.

Alec Carver, who confirmed that his gaze was not directed in this direction, opened his mouth.

“(It wasn’t easy to help Elisa because she wanted to be independent. She was a very cute kid who followed me around when she was little.)”

The food self-sufficiency rate in Korea is 46%, especially the grain self-sufficiency rate, which has recently reached only 20%. If supply from foreign countries was cut off, prices would inevitably skyrocket.

If he had a relationship with the Carver family, the world’s largest grain company, it seemed that he could use it as a good hand when grain supply and demand problems arose in the future.

“(It’s still cute.)”

It reminded me of Elisa when she invited me to Della Foster’s party. I remembered how happy I was as a child, and I smiled spontaneously.

“(What does Kim Jae-goo think of Elisha?)”

“(I think he’s a trustworthy person.)”

Thanks to her, I was able to get many allies to help me with my work in America. She was my business partner, and she did the job well.

“(Is that so?)”

Alec Carver gave a strange laugh.

“(Rather than that, I heard that the Carver family is trying to expand their farm in Southeast Asia.)”

“(hahahaha. Have you heard of Kim Jae-goo already?)”

“(The food business is a very important business.)”

It was important to protect food sovereignty. Even if something big happened to other countries, it was essential to stabilize food prices. It was all the more important when the world situation was dizzy like now.

Because the fires of war were burning in the Middle East and Russia.

“(That’s right. All human beings can survive by eating food. In a way, it is the most basic and most important business.)”

Alec stretched his chest out and his eyes twinkled. Seeing his face reminded me of Elisha.

‘They look like siblings.’

Elisha’s eyes twinkled like that when he was talking about his business.

“(Elisa says she’s a full-time investor. Are you interested in the food business?)”

“(Of course. Isn’t food the backbone of a nation?)”

The corners of his mouth went up.

“(As you know, we are planning to set up a plantation farm in Vietnam this time.)”

“(Because it’s a communist country, business won’t be easy.)”

“(Thanks to that, it’s hard for competitors to come in)”

The meaning of that smile must mean that there is already a connection. If you had the connections, starting a business wouldn’t be too difficult. Carver, a world-class grain company, must have a reliable connection.

Still, there was something to point out.

“(Then you can go in alone, why are you recruiting investors?)”

“(The land secured this time is large, so we plan to make a large investment.)”

What it takes to become rich is determination. The determination of those with a lot of money exceeded that of ordinary people. Even decisions that seemed stupid at first glance often had meticulous calculations hidden behind them.

Not to mention, the large-scale farming business was not a foolish decision.

Plantation farming became more effective as its size increased. In addition, Vietnam can save labor costs during the harvest season.

I don’t know how they roasted the Vietnamese, but the important thing is that they did it.

‘There may not be an investment opportunity next time.’

Even if the Vietnam plantation business investment failed, it was a surplus investment if you could properly connect with them. At least the Carver Company won’t go bankrupt in my generation.

He could have made a connection with Carver through Elisa, but it was not good to rely only on her.

Since Alec said he heard about me from Elisa, I decided to make an investment to help her face up.

With my personal account, of course.

Because I am Jaegu Kim, not a ghost corporation here.

‘There’s no need to use the eyes of trust.’

I decided to save it because I didn’t know what kind of relationship I might meet at this party.

His company was a global conglomerate that had been going on for over 100 years, and he was trustworthy because he was Elisa’s older brother who did a neat job.

He stroked his chin pretending to think for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“(Okay. Invest.)”

“(Good idea. Would you like to meet and talk about the details?)”

Originally, this kind of investment was directly promoted by the vice president? Usually there will be a dedicated department.

But there was no need to refuse.

“(I see.)”

I made an appointment to meet him.

Alec, like the vice president of the Carver Company, was so busy that he hardly had time. It seemed that this party was also part of business.

“(I’ll see you next Tuesday at 11:40 am at headquarters.)”

“(All right.)”

It was natural to go to the company to hear the briefing session.

‘I wonder what the head office looks like.’

The story with Alec ended there. Among the people who had come in were the people he had met at Della’s party.

This time, I decided to go ahead and say hello.

“(hello.)”

“(Mr. Raised!)”

Universal Music’s Ricardo Den greeted me with delight. The eyes of the people who were talking to him focused on me.

“(Mr. Den! My name is Jaegu Kim.)”

“(hahahaha! Excuse me. Mr. Jaegu. He is so good at kicking jegi, so he left a deep impression.)”

“(It could be.)”

He introduced me to the people present.

“(This is Mr. Jaegu, a friend of Della Foster. He is a professional investor.)”

“(Hello. I’m Jaegu Kim.)”

When businessmen meet, the first thing they do is exchange business cards. I thought it would be a gathering of people from the entertainment industry, but there were a lot of different people.

“(This is Kai Grant from Miracle Bio.)”

“(This is Dorian Walter from Macrosoft.)”

“(This is Ruben Jones from Amazing Motors.)”

They were all giants. After exchanging business cards with them, I intervened moderately in the conversation.

I couldn’t understand the complicated conversation, but it seemed that I had a good feeling to some extent just by reacting hard.

“(Mr. Jaegu. Let’s meet again next time.)”

Thanks to Ricardo Den, my name became Mr. Jaegu even for them. Originally, it would have been Mr. Kim, but since that was so common, Mr. Jaegu was good too.

Contrary to expectations that there might be a main event, the party was held in a quiet atmosphere. Groups of threes and fives chatted with each other, and calm classical music filled the party hall.

It was like an upscale social club, except there were no women in dresses.

‘It’s like something out of a movie.’

Business cards piled up in my wallet.

Everyone except me had a casual conversation to see if they knew each other. But I kept exchanging business cards because there were so many people I hadn’t seen before.

‘Real connections are the best. Where can I meet these people?’

There were a lot of big names at the party who had to get past the bodyguards to see their faces. He didn’t show much interest in me, but just a few words out of courtesy made me nervous.

The conversation also covered a wide range of topics, from hobbies such as golf and scuba diving to stories about recent trends and business status.

My heart was pounding when I saw him speak naturally at the world’s top level.

‘I hope one day I can stand shoulder to shoulder with these people.’

***

I stayed up all night watching Brayden Harper’s party, so it wasn’t until afternoon that I woke up in my hotel bed.

“Umm… It’s refreshing.”

The number of business cards increased this time is 19. Considering that most of them are CEOs of mid-sized companies, this was a remarkable achievement.

‘Why did Brayden invite me to the party?’

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it, but isn’t good good? There was nothing to lose, so I decided to enjoy his brief whim.

‘I have to make a place for myself before interest cools down.’

The biggest achievement was meeting Alec Carver of the Carver Company.

‘Invest directly in the Carver Company…’

Carver Company, a global grain company, is a family business, and it was difficult to invest in it because it was not even listed. It was quite unusual to receive an investment like this time.

‘If it’s an aggressive expansion, will it come to Korea?’

Considering Korea’s food sovereignty, the future was bleak. It was not suitable for plantation farming because there were so many mountains, but if you ask Alec Carver, you might get an answer.

‘Because the expert’s point of view may be different.’

I got up and drank water in one gulp. Then I opened the refrigerator and checked the well-marinated ribs.

‘Looks good.’

The day after arriving in the US, I bought quality ribs at the farmers market. I was in charge of the meat at home, so I was confident in choosing the meat.

The ribs, which are fresh enough to be eaten raw, are placed in a plastic container, and rib seasoning and pear juice brought from Korea are poured in proportion. The marinated ribs are well stored in the refrigerator provided at the hotel.

‘It should come out delicious.’

The taste of capitalism created by conglomerates would tell foreigners the true taste of Korea.

I just added a bit of flavor with pear juice.

When I wake up in the morning, I habitually check my account. It was around 1pm on Friday in New York, but it was already 2am on Saturday in Korea.

While you slept, Friday’s chapter was over.

‘It’s really convenient to run the program.’

No matter how you think about it, the program was a godsend. I didn’t have to sit at a desk all day like a day trader.

I opened the program to check the situation.

personal account

[Evaluation amount: 245.28586 million won]

crazy Now, the amount of personal account alone has exceeded 240 billion.

best product

[Assessment amount: 220,677.43 million won]

It’s not too hard here anymore.

Combined overseas subsidiaries

[Assessment amount: 153.2 billion 243.07 million]

It also did a good job of allocating stocks with the highest returns. It was already approaching the same level as other accounts.

‘The overseas account should grow quickly.’

The account that should be most active in the war against Dokgo Group was the account of the overseas corporation.

Choi Ji-hoon was a place that was set up to attract public opinion, but the actual stake had to be secured by overseas corporations.

That way I could breathe properly.

‘If I go back this time, I’ll have to transfer the real estate funds first.’

The bigger the seed, the faster it would grow.

‘The limitations of the Korean market are unavoidable.’

Large companies seldom saw a sharp rise, and companies with a small market capitalization did not benefit much because their prices rose relatively quickly when they bought them.

It was an unavoidable limitation of the Korean market.

‘The next quest must come out quickly.’

I didn’t think it would stop at just level 3. However, the fact that the quest did not appear even though the asset exceeded 200 billion was likely to be asking for something different.

‘Couldn’t it be a donation?’

I thought about increasing the donation amount.

Tring-.

A message came from Della Foster.

[(Tonight’s party. Didn’t you forget?)]

[(Sure.)]

[(Ribs. I’m looking forward to it.)]

I opened the lid of the rib storage container and poked my nose. It hadn’t even been baked yet, but it smelled delicious.

[(I will show you the taste of Korea.)]

‘With this, all foreigners are dead.’
