135. Chirashi (5)
Ten days have passed since the Myeongseong group incident took place.
At first, people who thought it would pass quickly as a fleeting happening started throwing their stocks in Myungsung Group when signs of the situation were to prolong.
‘If reputation is ruined, Korea will be ruined!’
‘If the reputation is ruined by any chance, our country’s economy will set back 10 years!’
The media is now starting to step out of the continued decline in Myungsung Group’s share price.
When Chairman Cho Hee-chang’s slush fund scandal broke out for the first time, it was quite different from the way he was excitedly attacking reputation and Chairman Hee-chang Cho.
At first, they reported extensively because they couldn’t miss the scoop that could attract the public’s attention, but they thought that their reputation could really collapse, so they had no choice but to publish an article in favor of the forgotten reputation.
Anyway, Myungsung Group was the company that paid the most advertising fees to all media outlets.
If their reputation was gone, they too would lose a loyal customer.
“eww···. Ummm…”
An old man lying in a single room that looked incredibly expensive let out a drool.
The old man is the owner of Myungsung Group.
It was Jo Hee-chang.
“uh? President! Are you awake?”
A man in a suit, who had been sitting next to the old man for hours, reacted immediately to the sound, jumped up from his seat, and shouted.
“Okay… Manager Yoo? Where is here.”
When the old man spoke, the man in the suit’s face brightened.
“This is Seoul Myeongseong Medical Center! I will call the doctor right away.”
The man called Chief Yoo ran to the intercom and called a nurse.
And within a minute, two nurses and a doctor burst into the single room.
“President! Can you see my fingers? Look only at this finger and follow the pupil.”
Jo Hee-chang doesn’t follow the eyes that tell him to follow him, and he loses his temper! gave
“done! i’m fine Please explain the situation now.”
Hearing his clear voice, the doctor stepped back slightly, and Yoo Dong-hyeop, the chief of staff of Jo Hee-chang, approached him and said,
“The president has collapsed. He had a stroke, and after collapsing, he was transferred to Myungsung Medical Center right here and underwent surgery. Fortunately, the operation seems to have been successful.”
“A stroke…?”
After hearing the story, Jo Hee-chang realized that his head was empty and that one leg had no strength at all.
“How long have I been lying down? company?”
Yu Dong-hyeop stuck his tongue out as soon as he woke up and saw Jo Hee-chang asking about the company.
Hagi is a person with such a strong obsession with work that he could have come to this position.
“It has been ten days since you fell. The company… Fortunately, things are going well.”
Yoo Dong-hyeop unknowingly spits out a lie.
If I told Jo Hee-chang, who had just woken up, all of the current situation of fame, he might be shocked.
“okay···. I must have used this body too long.”
Is it because I have been working all my life and running like a racehorse?
Jo Hee-chang accepted the current situation more calmly than he thought.
“If nothing is wrong, the doctors and nurses will tell you to leave for a while.”
“Yep. President.”
When only the two of them were left in the hospital room, Jo Hee-chang asked him.
“What about the male food?”
“Vice President Cho Nam-sik will be at the company.”
“Right. What is the official meal?”
“President Cho Jung-sik is the same.”
Jo Hee-chang smiled faintly.
“Goyan guys. Abby’s passed out and she’s not interested.”
“After the first collapse, I almost went to work here for a few days. If I deliver the news that he has awakened, he will probably jump in a month.”
Jo Hee-chang shook his head.
“What did the doctor say? am i going to die?”
“yes?”
“Am I dying?”
“no. He said that the surgery was successful, and that there would be no major problems if he was conscious.”
“Then what are you running for? Do all your work and tell me to come when you have time.”
“Yep. Okay. Then take a break.”
Yoo Dong-hyeop bowed his head and answered, knowing that Jo Hee-chang was sincere.
‘Il, Jo Nam-sik, Jo Jung-sik. Is this the president’s priority?’
He could guess his inner thoughts from Jo Hee-chang’s words.
Yoo Dong-hyeop greeted Cho Hee-chang and quietly left the hospital room to deliver the news to Jo Jung-sik and Jo Nam-sik.
And for the time being, I did not forget to ask the nurses and doctors to strictly control my mouth as soon as I came out.
Informing Cho Hee-chang of the current situation seemed to have to be done slowly.

There is a saying that invest in stocks when the market is down and sell when the market is booming.
In a way, this statement is no different from the truth.
When the market is in a recession, the price goes down, and when the market is booming, the price goes up.
However, this seemingly natural way of investing is actually not that easy.
This is because it is human psychology to not invest in fear during a recession and to invest in expectations during a boom.
However, Hoyoung, especially Eros, is not swayed by this kind of psychology.
Hoyoung started collecting stocks when stock prices began to fall in earnest, and so far he has been able to collect quite a few stocks.
“Eros. How is the current situation?”
“It hit the lowest price at 10:00 am yesterday and is rising little by little.”
“What are the boost factors?”
“The first is that Chairman Cho Hee-chang woke up, and the second is that there are some forces who fearfully buy stocks that have fallen.”
Hoyoung smiled.
When he created the HTS program, the part he designed with the most care was security.
At a level that no one can ever penetrate with the current era of hacking technology.
However, I made one exception.
“Is it an adjustment ceremony?”
“That’s right. It was confirmed that close to 100 billion money flowed from an account of Myungsung Securities. It is probably Jo Jung-sik’s borrowed-name account.”
“Also. Most of them must have attacked the former, right?”
“That’s right. We are investing all of our products and electronics.”
“It doesn’t go beyond expectations.”
The only exception to the HTS program was the existence of Eros.
Only Eros was able to freely enter and exit Myeongseong Securities’ HTS system.
“But there is one peculiarity.”
“Uniqueness?”
“Money close to 40 billion from Myungsung Securities is flowing into the market again.”
“40 billion?”
Of course, there were still many people who bought the shares of the Myungsung Group, which had fallen as they fell.
However, it was rare for a person with a large hand to pour a large sum of 40 billion won into the market.
That’s also from Myeongseong Securities.
As far as Ho-young knew, there were not many rich people who could roll 40 billion won in Myungsung Securities.
‘Could it be an adjustment ceremony?’
However, Hoyoung shook her head.
Cho Jung-sik is not in a situation where he can save 40 billion won.
If he wanted to roll more money, he would have borrowed 150 billion from Hoyoung instead of 100 billion in the first place.
“Then, is it Jo Nam-sik?!”
Hoyoung instantly thought of Jo Namsik.
If it wasn’t for him, there were few people or organizations that could mobilize a huge amount of 40 billion won.
Of course, isn’t it that another chaebol family is aiming for a share of fame? You can think of it, but each chaebol had its own securities company.
If they participated in the war, it wouldn’t be a reputation stock.
“Eros. Keep an eye on that account.”
“All right.”
Whether it was Jo Nam-sik or another force other than Jo Nam-sik, Ho-yeong thought it was necessary to keep a close eye on it.
Of course, now, 40 billion funds were not at a level that would change the general trend, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
“How is Chairman Heechang Cho’s health?”
“I am recovering well. However, it appears that his right leg is paralyzed due to the aftereffects of the stroke.”
“OK. Then, from now on, do your best to collect stocks.”
“If you buy stocks in a short period of time, explosive stock price rises are unavoidable. Are you okay?”
Hoyoung thought for a moment.
Now, as long as Chairman Cho Hee-chang woke up, stocks were supposed to go up anyway.
He thought a decision was necessary.
“okay. Rather, that’s good too. Rather, we can use up our money and soar the price so that other investors can’t buy even a single share with the same money. Let’s go like that.”
“All right.”
As soon as Hoyeong’s words came to an end, the stock holdings began to quickly shrink.
Fortunately, stock prices rose more slowly than expected.
It was because there were still many people who wanted to sell stocks at this moment.
“great. Just do it like you do now.”
After observing the situation for a while, Hoyeong stood up from her chair.
It is said that the world is noisy because of the Myeongseong group, but that doesn’t mean the world has stopped.
Hoyoung had a mountain of things to deal with besides Myeongseong’s work.
Therefore, he decided to leave the task of collecting stocks to Eros for now.

Linenz was enjoying tremendous success.
The system of raid, deuktem, blood alliance, and siege was suitable for people of all ages to fall in love with the game, and Korean gamers were enthusiastic about Lineage’s system, which was not in previous games.
Thanks to that, Lineage was able to set a record of 10,000 concurrent users for the first time in the world.
Lineage’s success soon began to have a huge impact on PC penetration.
Based on men in their 2nd and 30s, the PC penetration rate began to rise rapidly.
And while other PC makers hesitated because they did not know the exact situation, Hansung Computer quickly started to produce and sell ‘LinesCom’.
The computer with the character of the game Linez drawn on the case with permission from the H&H design team began to be sold at a frightening speed.
Since the public is not yet knowledgeable about the performance and knowledge of computers, Linescom, which even installs and sells Lineages in the first place, is a huge marketing victory because it is not too difficult for so-called ‘competent’ to enjoy the game. there was.
Also, it was nagging to say that the number of ADSL subscribers increased at the same time as the PC penetration rate increased.
Currently, the H&H game division is in a festive mood.
Hoyeong was confused whether to like this situation or not because of the person sitting in front of him.
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
“yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in the US. How is your contract with Sony going?”
“sure. Everyone is following Hoyeong’s advice.”
The man sitting in front of Hoyoung said with his signature humorous smile.
He was Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto.
“I heard that the reason you are here today is not because of the PlayStation.”
“That’s right. PlayStation is currently in full development. When there are special results, we will tell you the news separately.”
“Then why are you here today…”
“ruler. Would you like to play this one?”
Shigeru proudly handed Hoyoung a CD.
“Do you remember? A game we decided to make at Nintendo.”
Of course, there was no way Hoyeong couldn’t remember the name.
“Zelda Online. Looks like it’s finally finished.”
“It’s not quite complete yet, but the framework is almost complete.”
This was the reason why Hoyoung was confused about whether he should like the current situation.
Zelda Online.
In a situation where Linez was doing well, the influx of new games could take away users from Linez.
However, if the Legend of Zelda was published out of the gate, the fee alone could have made huge profits.
Shigeru Miyamoto erased the smile he always wore around his mouth and said with a firm face, as if he already knew Hoyoung’s troubles.
“Hoyeong. I want to open and service Zelda Online at the gate after three months at the latest.”
Hoyeong didn’t answer right away, and fell into a moment of concern.
Is it a platform or a game?
However, the conclusion came out easier than expected.
“good. Welcome to being a part of Gate Games.”
