I received a text message saying that the development of the stock trading program requested by Professor Yong-Han of KAIST was completed.

When you enter tomorrow’s expected stock price, it was a program that extracts the best rate of return considering the current stock price, trading volume, and market capitalization.

Usually, stocks are said to be a numbers game, but in reality, it was not easy to make money with only numbers and charts. It was because there are so many unexpected variables in the world that even a company that was fine on the charts could be ruined in an instant by a single bad news.

But I was different. With only this ability given to him by his grandfather, he was able to win a match he would never lose. If you enter the closing price correctly, you will always reach that price the next day.

Later, when the funds became too much, measures were taken in consideration of the trading volume even if the price fell at the time of selling.

But that would only become clear when tested in real conditions.

On the weekend, I went back to KAIST to get some fresh air. The pretext was to check the program and pay the balance, but in fact, it was to build a friendship with Han Kyung-ah if the program was very good.

‘Because if I have more money, I’ll need an update.’

For a while, this program should have been enough, but since you never know what’s going to happen, it’s good to know at least one good programmer.

When I arrived at KAIST, I saw Han Kyung-ah waiting at the main gate. It still looked the same.

“Han Kyung-ah.”

“Ah! Hello.”

She nodded. I liked the soft and fresh feeling.

“Sorry for making you come so far. I should have gone up…”

“You’re busy with your studies.”

“Jaegu Kim is also busy with work…”

“Then it’s common for each other. Isn’t someone in a hurry digging a well? How about the program?”

“It’s not like this here, go to the lab and talk.”

“Good.”

The lab room of the appointed professor was quite large. I put plants or plastic models here and there as if I was paying attention to the interior, but I couldn’t erase the dullness unique to engineering students.

Triple monitors were placed in each seat, and even in unoccupied seats, the computer was running with a loud sound.

The heat from the computer filled the room.

“Gyeong-ah, are you here? Ah. Hello.”

Unshaved beard on messy hair. A man whose age could be seen by looking at him stood up and greeted him.

“hello.”

“Are you a client? Please take good care of our Kyung-ah.”

“Senior is also true.”

Contrary to his sloppy appearance, he was quite a gentle man.

“Then go in and work.”

There were two more, but he was the one who said hello. One of the other two was sleeping face down in front of the desk, and one was staring at the monitor while muttering something, moving his finger.

“Come over here.”

Han Kyung-ah guided me to her seat in a corner. A cute succulent pot was placed in front of her computer. The arrangement of things was also quite neat.

It was tidy without a speck of dust, probably because it was managed diligently every day, but the air felt different from other seats.

‘I like it.’

What I need now is not a genius who doesn’t care about others, but someone who knows how to do his job neatly.

“Sit.”

Han Kyung-ah pointed to the chair next to her seat. I also liked that my seat was pre-made. I wish things were as tidy as this.

“First, I’ll tell you how to use it on your phone screen.”

When she ran the program on her phone, a screen with an interface similar to Daebak Securities appeared. Of course, the graphic itself was different, but the interface was implemented similarly.

“This is a fake stock brokerage app for testing. I implemented only the menus necessary for the requested function. Only the letters were written similarly, and the stock price was randomly generated as a variable. And when I run it…”

Han Kyung-ah launched a different program this time. As I requested, a box to enter tomorrow’s stock price came to mind. In 5 rows, there was a space to write the item code, item name, and desired selling price.

The next day was automatically entered for the date.

“I’ll type in this and run the program. The time is set to 48x speed.”

When I ran it, the program started making purchases at a rapid rate. Then, when the time moved to the next day, he started selling when he reached the right price this time. Because I sold at the asking price, the number stopped when the stock price fell, and started selling again when the stock price rose.

“I linked it to the test program now, but don’t worry, the file I’m sending you has been coded to connect to Daebak Securities. It will take some time. Still, I think you’ll want to see the numbers…”

“It’s good.”

We stared blankly at our phones for 30 minutes.

“If you sell at the target price, what if the stock price goes down because you sell too much?”

“Selling is set at the corresponding price. If you want, you can change it to holding up to a certain percentage and selling the entire amount if it falls.”

“Can you set it to 2% for now?”

“Yes.”

She opened the program code and changed the number marked 0 to 2. And ran the program again.

“I ran it at 200x speed this time. I’ll run it for 5 cycles like this and explain the results.”

“Yes.”

The waiting time passed and the operation was finally completed. She popped up another window with the results.

“The left is the result of my program testing for 400 cases, and the right is the result of just testing.”

Obviously, the number on the left was vast.

“And this is the result table from simple calculations without using a program. It was completely consistent with the previous test.”

“You mean there were no errors out of 400?”

“Yes. And I’ll calculate what I turned this time around.”

She explained the complex calculations to me step by step. It was a nice formula, slightly more advanced than what I had commissioned.

‘As expected of KAIST.’

I nodded and listened to her explanation. After I drafted and derived the numbers according to the formula she developed, I compared them to the implementation of the commissioned program.

“It matches.”

“Yes. The source code is clear, so if there is no problem with the Internet connection, there will be no errors. I tried to make it as light as possible.”

She smiled shyly, but her eyes sparkled with pride for her skills. With the program checked, it was time to pay.

“Okay. Then.”

I was about to stand up, but Han Kyung-ah grabbed me.

“Wait a minute. And I made one more function as a service.”

“A service?”

“It’s a system that organizes logs and sends them by e-mail. Seeing that you wrote down the formula yourself, I thought you might want to analyze it later.”

perfect. The meticulousness of doing things that were not even asked of me attracted me even more.

“So if you want to use this…”

Han Kyung-ah explained it with an attitude full of passion that conveyed pleasure just by looking at it. As much as I talked about the program, the feeling of timidity disappeared.

“That’s all. Is there anything you don’t understand?”

“No. Perfect.”

“And I made a guidebook just in case…”

She held out a spring-iron notebook that looked as thick as 30 A4 sheets. When I opened it, there was a brief description of the menu.

‘Did you prepare all of this in this short amount of time?’

As Professor Lim Yong-han said, there was really no flaw in meticulousness. If there is a chance, I would like to work together someday.

“Please contact me if there is something you do not understand.”

“Kyung-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s pay the balance and go eat.”

“Bob?”

“Yes. I’m hungry after skipping lunch. Do you know of any good places nearby?”

Eating is the best way to get to know each other.

***

After finishing the contract at the appointed professor’s office and paying the balance, I ate with Han Kyung-ah at a Mexican restaurant near the school.

I smiled at the memory of the conversation I had with her.

{There are Mexican restaurants and soup restaurants… I think a soup restaurant would be good.}

{Mexican food would be nice.}

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Judging from the fact that I mentioned the Mexican restaurant first, I wanted to go there more, but since foreign food was expensive, it seemed like I switched to rice soup. Isn’t it obvious that graduate students’ pockets are in trouble?

{…it’s a bit expensive there.}

It was an expected answer.

{I will live.}

{Nope. They gave me a job, but I can’t even get food to eat.}

It was also nice to see him shake his hands while being flustered. When I see someone who doesn’t take it for granted to receive something from others, I want to do something more.

Besides, I was rich, and I was going to get even richer, so I could gladly buy you a meal at a Mexican restaurant.

{It means to ask for AS to do well, so let’s go to a Mexican restaurant.}

{If that’s the case…}

As expected, it was a fairly luxurious restaurant, so it was easy to have a conversation. If it was a soup restaurant full of people, it might have been uncomfortable to talk to other people.

If you know someone, be careful what you say.

{Can I contact you if I want to request something later?}

{Please contact the professor…}

{I want to contact Han Kyung-ah directly. It’s a little personal request, so it’s burdensome to tell the professor.}

It was hard to convince her when she stubbornly refused, but it was a victory of persistence. Depending on the content of the request, you could receive it or ask the professor to contact you, but that was enough.

Once you soak your feet in it, it’s hard to get rid of it. I had to get my clothes wet in the drizzling rain.

Then one day he would be mine.

‘This is really comfortable.’

All I had to do was enter tomorrow’s share price, and the program did all the work for me. When the power is connected to the pre-opened second phone and the program is executed, the transaction details are transmitted to the main phone.

He was a very smart guy who was good at split-buying while paying attention step by step. It was inevitable that the purchase price would go up, but it would be difficult to do better than this by hand.

‘Amazing, Great. really.’

As the numbers went up and down, the appraisal amount went up. In line with the fluctuating stock price, I bought the stock with the highest expected profit among the stocks I entered.

[Concluded: Buying 272 shares of Younghoon Industry]

When the expected returns were similar, the stocks with higher trading volume were given more weight to purchase.

[Concluded: Buy 123 shares of Marine Transportation]

[Conclusion: Buy 27 shares of Kangho Holdings]

[Execution: Buy 374 shares of With Partner]

‘The program is fast.’

In the time when I couldn’t even react, the program had already entered the amount and entered into a purchase. He was a better guy than me when it comes to simple tasks.

‘The important thing is information.’

I was the only one who could make good money with this program.

Who knows the future stock price?

There was no reason for people trying to sell at the target price to use such a complex system that they had to manage on a daily basis.

The program then sold the stocks it bought back.

[Execution: Selling 123 shares of Marine Transportation]

[Execution: Sell 27 shares of Kangho Holdings]

[Execution: Selling 374 shares of With Partner]

As the red appraisal amount appeared and disappeared every day, the money in the account began to rise exponentially.

Day 1 of program operation

:1.362 billion → 1.46655 million (+8%)

Revenue 104.54 million won

‘Now, even if the rate of return is less than 10%, they earn in billions?’

Day 2 of program operation

: 1,466.55 million → 1,535.25 million (+5%)

Revenue 68.7 million won

‘Because 5% is the minimum rate of return… There are days like this.’

Day 3 of program operation

: 1,535,250,000 → 1,699,010,000 (+11%)

Revenue KRW 163.76 million

‘great. This isn’t bad.’

Day 4 of program operation

: 1.699 billion → 2.06657 million (+22%)

Revenue KRW 367.56 million

‘Wow. Over 300 million in daily revenue? crazy Crazy.’

Just looking at it, I couldn’t control the corners of my mouth going up.

‘It really turned around. Is this the magic of compound interest?’

Starting with 10 million won, it achieved more than 2 billion won in less than two months. In terms of yield, it was 20,000%. 3500% in one month was a huge number, but when it was compounded, it became too big to handle.

‘I could buy an apartment in Gangnam, too.’

The apartment in Gangnam, which I had only dreamed of when I was at work, would be able to enter as soon as I set my mind to it.

‘The seed is important, so I have no intention of taking it out right now.’

Still, just thinking about it made me happy.

I was smirking at the happy thought when a pop-up suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[Your assets reach 2 billion to unlock the next level. Would you like to proceed with the quest?]

[Right hand if you want, left hand if you don’t want]

‘What else do you want me to give you?

Without hesitation, he clenched his right hand.
