12 Hours After Chapter 76

I saw the calendar application go off .

[AAOOO]

I'd already memorized it by looking at it several times, so I knew it .

“Announcement of Als Aluminum's Obtain Order . , OK . ”

After aiming to take over Kai Games, I was busier than ever . Surprisingly, because of the money, I didn't think money would actually be a problem after the Platinum and the Master Class, but this time I was in a bit of a hurry . It really was a matter of money . I wanted to make more money .

'Money is magical . It makes even rich people fret . '

'Then I'll sell the Daeshin Battery until the 5th, and then I'll buy Als Aluminum . ' As I was thinking about it, the phone rang .

“Boss, this is Vice President . ”

“Yes, please come in . ”

Soon Vice President Jang opened the door and came in . He had a carry-on in his hand .

“I'll be back soon then . ”

“Yes . ”

Vice President Jang decided to travel to Shanghai, instead of me, to visit Zhiyan Limited, the parent company of Kaisoft . Zhiyan Limited had a branch office in South Korea, but the decision maker was in mainland China .

At the words, “We'd like to buy a stake in Kai Games,” they had replied, “Then come to China . ”

That's why Vice President Jang decided to go there himself . We asked for a deal, but they set the negotiation table . That did not mean there was no intention of selling .

“As I've said before, I'll ask you to make an agreement as much as you can, even if they call it expensive . ”

“Yes, boss . ”

I was counting on this deal to be made, because they had a reason to sell . “I'm sure you'll be smart . Unlike three years ago… they're probably suffering from the Hanhanlyeong . ”

“Yes, boss, I'll focus on that . ”

'The areas blocked by Hanhanlyeong are cultural content industries such as tourism, games, and entertainment . In the case of tourism, Chinese people come to Korea and spend money . If they stop doing so, there is nothing to lose except Korea, and entertainment or games imported from Korea . They banned the cultural contents with intensity .

'On the other hand, items such as semiconductors and electronic components were left untouched . Because while imports of tourism and cultural content are simply areas where only Korea takes the money, semiconductor and electronic components play a large role, they become money for those who sell them all . In a world, they were angry, saying “Why did you do this to me? Apologize!”, but they also said, “I'll take this, not that . ' It's very cleverly protecting their own interests .

'Sometimes, of course, there are also people who lose money in China in the process . They are companies that have invested in Korean companies in the cultural content business . '

Zhiyan Limited was such a case . They imported Korean games to China and sold them there . They paid royalties and bought a Korean company to take them back . However, the import of Korean games was recently blocked by the Hanhanlyeong .

'This is in our favor, and they must be anxious . '

That was my idea . Of course, they would have thought of holding it a little bit more after seeing the potential of Fantasy War Ground, but these people wouldn't know it would be a big hit around the world, either .

'Maybe they will bet a little bit more expensive . '

That would be enough, if I could make more money and cover it . I decided to make as much money as I could until Fantasy War Ground was released . First, I would buy Kai Games using the capital increase of Invictus Investment, and then I would buy more Kai Games with the rest of my money .

'This is a very big prize . This opportunity is worth $100,000,000 . No, it's going to be more than that . Yes… then… it wouldn't be a job to break the Master Class, would it? If I have the money, the acquisition is a matter of procedure . '

I thought so, but the phone rang again .

“Boss . ”

“Your order, the Bentley, is here . ”

“Oh, yeah?”

The Bentley, which I had signed the contract for after acquiring OH Entertainment last time, seemed to be here . I had checked out all the options and spent nearly $400,000, but if I had the idea of buying the Kae Games at that time, I wouldn't have bought it . But it was late to regret it now .

“Then when we get off work, let's go over and take a look . ”

“Yes, boss . ”

I saw my new car, a Bentley Bentayga . Unlike Porsche, it was slightly lighter, and had a rather profound look . That was great, but I was a little bit concerned . With this money, I could have bought a couple of hundred thousand more shares in Kai Games . But if I thought that way, I would die without spending any money .

The dealer came up to me and apologized, “I'm sorry I'm late . This model was so popular that our orders have been piled up, Mr . President . ”

'The price of this car is at least $340,000, but the order has been piled up . As expected, the economy is said to be in bad shape, but only for the working class . '

I waved the car keys with the 'B' symbol on the wing, and said, “I'll head home with this car . Secretary Seo, you can go home, too . ”

“Yes, boss . ”

I took my new Bentley and headed home . A Bentley was definitely the car that everyone stayed out of its way, even in Gangnam . Even in a situation where they struggled to go first, they saw my car and made way so I could pass .

“That's convenient . ”

'Although having a lot of money doesn't mean happiness, it seems to make a person feel comfortable . '

On the street or at home, money made me comfortable . I came into the parking lot of my studio in my new car . A Bentley was also rare in our studio parking lot, which was full of expensive cars . I could feel the sense of getting out even here, where the rich were everywhere . I opened the door and got out of the car, and a strange voice reverberated in the parking lot .

“A Young!”

'What's this?'

“A Young!”

The voice was heard once again .

'A Young?'

I turned my head towards the sound . A tall blonde woman was holding on to the car door and shouting . “A Young!”

It was a strange situation . I looked up at it . From a closer look, the blonde woman wasn't dyed but real white . Her skin was white, her nose was tall, and she was a typical white beauty . She was slightly shorter than me, but her legs seemed to be longer than mine .

'Is she a model?'

I was wondering, and she shouted once more, “A Young!”

Her voice seemed to be in a hurry . I walked closer to her, and she let go of the car door . She was holding someone in the passenger seat, a person whose face I knew . It was Lee Ah-young, the owner of my studio .

'Huh? Ah!' I now realized, 'A Young was Ah-young . '

'If we write Ah-young in English, it will be about A Young . If a foreigner with poor Korean pronounces it, it will be like A Young . '

The white beauty kept trying to shake her, “A Young!”

But she didn't seem to be conscious of what was going on .

'What's wrong with her?'

By the way, as I got closer, I smelled alcohol . I could not be sure what kind of alcohol was, but it smelled like fine alcohol anyway .

'What? Is she drunk?'

I'd seen her come in one day after drinking, and so it was today . As I approached, a blonde beauty looked at me and spoke to me first, “Can you help me?”

She seemed to be asking for help because she couldn't move Lee Ah-young .

“Yes, sure . ”

I approached her and gave her my back . The blonde helped me to get her on my back . The combination of perfume, alcohol, long hair, and soft touch came all at once as she got on my back . She was a little heavier than I thought, but it wasn't that difficult for me, who had carried men on numerous occasions in judo . I carried her on my back and walked toward the elevator . The blonde followed me and hit the up-button of the elevator .

Soon the elevator arrived with a chime, and I got into the elevator with her on my back .

The blonde beauty spoke to Lee Ah-young on my back in English, “A Young, what's your address?”

But Lee Ah-young was completely insensitive . She couldn't even answer .

I told her the number of the floor, “Twelfth floor . ”

She hesitated a little when she heard me . Maybe it was because my pronunciation was weird . I was good at reading and listening, but I was not good at speaking because of improper education in English in Korea . I tried to say it again, but before that, the white beauty pressed the 12th floor .

'Did she understand me?' I was thinking, and she said to me, “How do you know that?”

I thought it probably seemed a little suspicious for her because I knew the address . I answered very briefly and simply, “I'm a neighbor,” instead of telling that she was my landlord and I was living next door to her .

“Ah~ okay . ”

She must have noticed the word 'neighbor' . I came to her room with Lee Ah-young on my back . But again, there was trouble: the room password . Even I didn't know it . I said to the blonde, “I don't know the password . ”

“Ah!” She was also embarrassed . We had brought her to her room, but we couldn't get inside .

'Should I take her to my room first?'

As I was thinking, suddenly the white beauty stepped forward and began to press a password outside the door .

“Hmm . Wait a minute . ”

'525720' I watched it without realizing it, but she didn't think of pressing the password and clicking the asterisk .

'In our studios, we all have to press the asterisk at the end of the password . '

Sure enough, there was an indication that the password was incorrect . The white beauty said with a tilt of her head, “Isn't this it?”

Once again, she pressed '525720' and stayed still . In a little while, it would say it was wrong again . I could no longer wait, and I pressed an asterisk at the end of the password . '525720*'

The door opened with a chime . She exclaimed in surprise, “Oh! Thank you . ”

I was surprised, too . 'You don't know the address, but you know the password?'

I had to take her inside the room anyway . I went into the room with Lee Ah-young on my back .
