214. Saminseongho (三人成虎)
There is a saying called Three People Seongho (三人成虎).
It means that if there are only three people, even a tiger that did not exist will be made.
And there is a saying that a horse without feet can go a thousand miles.
Hoyoung was now experiencing those two old sayings with his whole body.
Knock-!
“Hoyoung! Did you see the dating rumors!”
The first was Kim Joo-jung, who worked at the Hermes Telecom building together.
At this time, Ho-young rather smiled at Kim Joo-jung.
“haha···. Did you see the seniors too? I didn’t even think about it.”
“How is Sumin?”
“How about it, it was a mess. I’m probably talking to the CEO of the agency.”
We are now just entering the late 90’s.
At this time, the dating rumor of a female celebrity was fatal to her career.
In particular, Sumin Ha was gaining popularity with her neat image.
Obviously, the blow to her is not the only one.
However, Sumin instead smiled at Hoyeong.
‘It’s frustrating to hide and date, but it worked out well. Just because I got married doesn’t mean I can’t sing.’
Ha Su-min had a genuinely free expression.
Ho-young was relieved to see Ha Su-min, who looks infinitely young and gentle, but in reality is stubborn and strong.
But after a while after I said it was no big deal to Kim Joo-jung and sent him down.
Knock-!
“Hoyoung! Is it true that you are getting married at the end of this year?”
“Welcome to Married World!”
“yes? No, Jinchan-senpai, what are you talking about again?”
This time, it was Lee Jin-chan and Kim Jin-taek in the H&H building across the street.
“There are rumors that you are getting married to Miss Sumin at the end of this year? envy. While this senior was wrestling with Linez, you dated in the midst of that busyness, and now you are married… You are the winner, the winner.”
“okay. Hoyoung, you thought well too. Men should get married quickly and settle down. look at this bro How happy you are to be married… Kheup…”
“Senior, don’t cry and tell me…”
A skit took place in which Lee Jin-chan suddenly cried and Kim Jin-taek comforted him.
Ho-yeong said it was a rumor and said it was absolutely not true, but Lee Jin-chan only said to think about it carefully and that it might be better to get married really quickly since it happened like this.
For some reason, Hoyoung read in his eyes that he couldn’t die alone… I just hoped it was an illusion.
After a while, Lee Jin-chan and Kim Jin-taek went back to H&H, and Ho-yeong was exhausted as if a storm had swept through them.
“Whoa-.”
I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and looked at the clock. It was pointing to 11 am.
“I think you had a meeting with Francis today at 11 o’clock?”
Today was the day we were supposed to meet with Francis over lunch to talk about software delivery for Dell Computer’s newly developed radio.
Since he was Francis, who usually did not break his time commitments, Ho-young was puzzled and called his secretary over the intercom.
Beep-
“Perhaps Francis from Dell Computer was supposed to come today, but no one has come yet?”
– Yes Chairman. nobody yet… ah! You just arrived. Shall I tell you to go to the president’s room right away?
“Ah, I was impatient. Please.”
Hoyoung waited for Francis, thinking that he had bothered the secretary for no reason.
and after a while
The highlight of the day unfolded.
“Five! Hoyoung! Long time no see.”
“Francis. How you doing?”
“I was fine. Hoyoung seems to come and go to America more often than I do. I think it’s been a year since I went to America.”
“haha. I think it’s because Francis does a good job in Korea.”
While exchanging news with Francis, Ho-yeong suddenly realized that Francis was holding a shopping bag in his right hand.
“By the way, Francis. What do you have in your hand?”
“This one? haha. Actually, I’m a little late for this.”
“yes?”
And Francis taking something out of a shopping bag.
In his hand was a small pair of baby shoes.
“Congratulations. I heard that you had a child. These are white shoes, so whether you are a daughter or a son, they will look good on you.”
“…….”
Hoyoung was dumbfounded and couldn’t answer anything.
Whether or not Hoyeong did it, Francis looked at Hoyeong and continued talking.
“When are you planning to have the wedding? Are you planning on having kids and taking it slow?”
“Oh, Francis.”
Hoyoung felt a sudden headache, so he put his head on his back and sat down.
“ah···! I think I heard that premarital pregnancy is a big deal in Korea. Gosh. I guess I haven’t adapted to Korean culture yet. As you know, things like this are common in my home country…”
Francis was looking for the cause of Hoyeong’s headache in a completely different place.
For some reason, Hoyeong seemed to think of Lee Jinchan’s giggling face.
“after···. Let’s go out to eat. go out and talk Francis.”
“All right.”
Hoyoung had a deep conversation with Francis at a nearby Japanese restaurant.
There was also a software talk about the communicator, but the main story was a conversation to clear Francis’ misunderstanding.
Francis blushed at his misunderstanding, but kept his convictions until the end.
‘Everything is H&H’s Mr. It’s Lee.’s plot!’
.
.
.
After the trivial (?) happenings passed, Hoyeong and Francis started to talk more in-depth, beyond the wireless communicator’s software.
Talking about wireless communicator software is actually enough to talk with Lee Jin-chan, not Ho-yeong.
However, there was a different reason why Hoyoung insisted on meeting Francis.
It was to tell Dell and Francis the story of the global financial crisis that would begin next year.
“So···. Hoyoung is saying that you should exchange all goods in dollars instead of Korean won as much as possible in the future?”
“To sum it up, that is.”
“Hmm…”
Francis groaned and rubbed his chin.
In fact, he didn’t understand Hoyoung’s words.
Dell Korea already had a considerable amount of Korean won.
It was almost obvious that the exchange fee and tax that went into exchanging that much money would not be one or two pennies.
‘But Hoyoung is never a person who talks nonsense.’
It was this that troubled Francis.
According to Ho-young, he would lose hundreds of millions to billions of won right away, but in the end, what Ho-young ordered always had good results.
“Well···. I’ll get it right away. Let’s talk to Dell.”
“yes. FYI, H&H and Hermes have already started working on it. In particular, we are working with not only Korean Won, but also Thai Baht, Hong Kong Dollar, and Yen.”
“Every currency across Asia is being exchanged.”
“That’s right. You are also quick to understand.”
Francis nodded reluctantly.
In fact, from Hoyoung’s point of view, it’s impossible to say that he knows the future, so it was best to tell him this much.
Just because Hoyoung went all the way to Japan and the United States to block the Reverse Plaza Agreement did not prevent the Asian financial crisis as a whole.
I just made sure that the aftermath was as small as possible in Korea.
Even at this moment, there were forces on Wall Street trying to take advantage of the collapse of the Thai baht to take advantage of economic benefits.
And the force was already like a huge flow, so it was judged that it was not at a level that one person, Hoyoung, could do.
‘When the IMF exploded in the past, the exchange rate rose to 3,200 won. If you hold the dollar now, you can sit and get almost triple the profit.’
Because of Hoyoung’s performance, I thought that even if the worst situation of the IMF did not come, the Asian economic crisis would raise the exchange rate to the 2,000 won level.
And that was the best picture Hoyoung was drawing.
.
.
.
The time of this week has passed.
In the meantime, Hoyoung clearly acknowledged her devotion to Ha Soo-min.
Many people saw the two of them at the airport anyway, and both Hoyeong and Sumin were tired of dating in secret.
And it was because there was advice from Lee Jin-chan, who can be said to be a senior (?) in this field.
‘Ho Young-ah. Just admit it plainly. Of course, there is a difference between being an actress and a singer, but if you look at Mi-ae, who married me, she even gets married. Of course, there is a reason why our company drove CFs.’
As Lee Jin-chan said, Kim Mi-ae had no hiatus despite her marriage to Lee Jin-chan.
No, on the contrary, it seemed to work better than before marriage.
Before marriage, she only took on neat and innocent roles, so her acting range was narrow, but after she got married, she played villain roles tastefully, and even played the role of an ajumma, approaching the public with a friendly image.
So, Hoyoung and Ha Sumin admitted to being in a relationship, and Ha Sumin’s male fans decreased a lot, but she still seemed relieved.
And in some quarters, this article was another hit.
[Lee Jin-chan and Kim Mi-ae, Yun Ho-young and Ha Su-min. What is the correlation between computer geniuses and top stars?]
The media published a special article about the love between a genius who leads the Korean IT world and a top star.
And there were many people who thought this article was credible, and since then, computer academies have become a gatehouse.
And across the sea, good news came from the United States.
-Mr. Yoon? Thanks to that, we were able to easily win the race at our Republican National Convention. As of August 15, he was officially elected as a presidential candidate.
“Congratulations. Governor. Oh, you must be the governor no more. You would have resigned.”
– ha ha ha. you’re right. Now, you can call me Bush for a little while.
“haha. I appreciate that, but I want to call it differently.”
– If it’s different…?
“dismissal?”
At Hoyoung’s words, Bush burst into laughter.
And he said it felt good.
– That’s what you call it after the full-fledged election is over. haha. I feel good already. then···. Now, the keywords you said the other day. Shall we talk about ‘Scandal’ in earnest?
“Could you wait a moment for that?”
– yes?
“Anyway, in that case, I was collecting data and evidence. I will deliver this card when it is really decisive and when it is most fatal.”
– Well···. Okay. Mr. Yoon. I will believe in you.”
Still, the world hadn’t even dreamed of Bill Clinton’s sex scandal.
Hoyoung was secretly investigating Lewinsky through Smith’s connections, who was also a lawyer.
He was also in contact with Linda Tripp, a friend of Lewinsky’s and a witness to the sex scandal, also called ‘Zippergate’ in the future.
The investigation is almost over.
The day when Ho-young gets the testimony perfectly.
This material will become a sharp knife to stab Clinton.
And Hoyoung had no doubts about Bush’s victory.
