The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 191 – America is Falling (5)
The best university in Korea, in name and reality.
As if they had all worked together, the female students climbed the hill, carrying one or two books in their arms.
“Why does our country build all its schools on mountains?”
Hye-ri tilts her head at Soo-young’s unexpected question.
“Is that so?”
“I’ve never seen a school that’s flat, it’s all uphill! Huh? Thanks to this, look here.”
When Suyeong pointed to her calf, Hye-ri unconsciously looked at Suyeong’s calf.
“It’s sturdy.”
“do you want to die?”
“Big.”
“This is all because this place called school created eggs in my calves!”
“It’s not because you eat well?”
“Huh? You’re a medical student and now you’re ignoring the arts and physical education?”
Hye-ri laughed as if she found Soo-young’s words ridiculous.
“Why are you making a fuss here? Are you a politician?”
“Hey hey, the straps on your bag are long, huh? You learned it? Pretending to be logical, huh? Crank, crank, crank!”
“You are also a student at the same school.”
“Ahem, so this is why things you learn are not good.”
“What are you saying?”
Suyeong cries out in frustration at Hye-ri’s words.
“When did our innocent anchovies, no, tuna, change like this? They’ve changed so much since we moved… sigh.”
“Again, again, overdoing it.”
“You’ve been using English a lot and eating foreign food, so your English has improved a lot.”
Hye-ri said, brushing away her short hair that wasn’t that long.
“Heh, do you know Germany? Do you know the romance of West Germany?”
“Hey, you’re going too far, sir!”
Hye-ri suddenly ran towards me.
“Why is Kang-i your husband!”
“Hehe, now you’re even looking at me with an axe! You’ve changed! How can love change!”
“You never loved me from the start?”
“Oh, well, you really were a small-minded child.”
Suyeong’s gaze was focused on Hye-ri’s chest.
“It seems like I’m seeing something different.”
Suyeong lifted the corners of her lips slightly, puffed out her chest, and answered as if looking down at Hye-ri.
“That’s correct.”
“Lee- you’re dead.”
“Whoa-”
Suyeong runs up the hill, showing off her strong calves, and Hye-ri chases after her as if she’s going to kill her.
A young man with a neat expression who raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at the two people, rather than the two college freshmen, greeted Sooyoung.
“How’s swimming?”
Suyeong and Hye-ri, who had been running like a stray dog at his greeting, stopped.
Suyeong blushed for a moment, then bowed politely and greeted her.
“Hello, senior.”
“Yeah, are you energetic today?”
“Ah… yes.”
Hye-ri whispered softly into Soo-young’s ear, who seemed embarrassed.
“Oh, what is it? A new boyfriend?”
“He’s just a senior.”
“Are you okay?”
“That’s not it.”
“no way-”
As the two whispered softly, the young man tilted his head and asked.
“What? What do you want to talk about? Tell me too.”
Suyeong smiles awkwardly as she introduces Hye-ri to him, who approaches her with a friendly and warm smile.
“Senior, this is Jeon Hye-ri from the medical school.”
Hye-ri bowed her head slightly and greeted me with her signature confident expression.
“Hello – I am Suyeong’s friend, Jeon Hye-ri.”
“Oh, okay, nice to meet you. I’m Kim Min, Philosophy 84.”
“Ah- you’re showing off your philosophy.”
“I met Suyeong in a liberal arts class.”
“Oh-”
“Who wouldn’t want to be friends with Sooyoung? Hye-ri is also incredibly pretty. Should I arrange a meeting with the philosophy department?”
Hye-ri smiled brightly.
I felt that not only was he neat in appearance, but he also spoke very neatly. Just by looking at him, I could tell that he would be popular.
“Hehe, I’m busy so I’ll have to wait a bit for the meeting.”
Kim Min chuckled at Hye-ri’s answer.
“Wow, talking is very similar to swimming.”
“Really? I guess we look alike.”
Hye-ri smiled faintly at his words and whispered in Soo-young’s ear.
“What, what, do your best, my pig-”
“Oh, no, that’s not it.”
Hye-ri, who was smiling, patted Soo-young on the back and briskly walked past them and up the hill.
“The quiet cat goes up to the hut first? Foot.”
Hye-ri glanced back.
Suddenly, she saw Sooyoung and Kim Min, seniors who had turned to the left. Thinking that they were a good match, Hye-ri walked quickly.

JP Morgan’s open office.
“Did you buy it? Buy it now!”
“No, you should sell it. Why are you buying it?”
In a noisy situation reminiscent of a battlefield, in the middle of a battle.
Some people are holding their phones, while others are staring intently at CRT monitors.
Certainly, New York, which can be called the center of globalization and modernization, was different in that computerization was already widespread.
“Hey! Is anyone interested in having a meeting with some people from the East about derivatives?”
People who were talking on the phone or looking at their monitors here and there paid attention to what one man said.
“The East? Where? China? Japan?”
“You’re saying this is Korea?”
“Korea? Where is that?”
“Is there such a country?”
When I mentioned Korea, a country where more people don’t know about it than do, the attention that had been garnered for a while suddenly cooled down.
“We have received a request to open a new derivatives product. The investment amount is 5 million dollars.”
When the man shouted again, she was once again attracted to the amount of money.
“What kind of derivative product is it?”
“On the collapse of the dollar and the surge in the yen…”
“Kekekeke.”
“What? What’s going on? Are they crazy?”
Laughter broke out here and there.
With the dollar plummeting and the yen soaring, it seems as if America is going to collapse and Japan is going to take over the world.
“No, even if Japan is flying these days, that’s some bullshit.”
“Who is it thanks to whom the Japs are able to eat and live?”
People who still laugh.
“Wait a minute, but if you think about it the other way around, if that doesn’t happen, then the $5 million is free?”
“uh?”
A cold silence descended on JP Morgan, which had been noisier than a battlefield at someone’s words.
“I’ll do it!”
“No, I will do it!”
“I am the right person for the job! I even knew about the country called Korea! The president there is Kim Il-sung!”
“You crazy bastard, that must be North Korea!”
If earlier it was just a metaphorical battlefield, this time it was as if a real war was about to break out.
Everyone couldn’t hide their eyes sparkling with greed for the five million dollars.
The stock market in New York.
Put money down and eat money.
In a battlefield where greed and avarice are intertwined and blood is splattered, there is nothing more foolish than hiding one’s greed. That is their nature.
A man approached the man who had first spoken to him with a confident expression on his face.
“It’s my turn to discuss derivatives products.”
“Oh, Mr. William.”
He was dressed smartly in a gray double-breasted suit, and he swept around the room, smoothing his signature blond pompadour.
There was a certain rule of goodness even among the lynxes who jumped into the financial market in pursuit of performance-based pay rather than base pay.
A kind of turn system.
It wasn’t much different from the order in which car dealers respond to visitors.
“Damn it! Why was it me yesterday!”
“Pfft, I’ve been playing ball for a month already, and for fuck’s sake, William, you’re buying drinks today!”
“Yeah, buy me some beer! I can’t stand this feeling of being wronged, so I’ll just take five million dollars for free.”
“Wow, the incentive alone would be a million dollars?”
“Oh my gosh, I’m so jealous.”
William’s mouth corners twitched at the various insults flying at him.
The opening of new derivative products seems to have predicted the downfall of the United States, as they say.
Of course, the U.S. economy has not always been booming. And it is difficult to say that it is booming now. In fact, the opposite is true.
The Great Depression.
There certainly were times like that, and there’s no guarantee that there won’t be any in the future.
“Still, unconditionally.”
William raised the corners of his lips more earnestly.
That America is going to fail.
It was no different than the whole world going to ruin. So the value of all the currencies in the world would equally fall. That was his idea.
It was common sense that the fact that the economy of the United States, the world’s number one superpower, was struggling meant that the economies of countries that depend on the United States could not be doing well.
“Let’s go, right away.”
“Yes, Mr. William. I have reserved a meeting room on the fourth floor.”
“Oh, thank you, Steve.”
“I’ll bring the car over to you shortly.”
William nodded and said.
“Tell the boss and bring me the seal.”
“Oh, you’re already sure about the contract.”
“I’m not a fool like those idiots from the East.”
“Okay, I understand.”
**
Coffee and pretzels.
While savoring the taste of those things that JP Morgan gave me, I reminisce.
A man with his characteristic blond hair pulled back into a pompadour came in and greeted me with a smile as greasy as the oil on his head.
“Hello, customer. This is Sebastian William, the manager in charge of your product.”
The name itself smells like oil.
Still, since he was William, there was a high probability that he was from a wealthy family. It was a surname used by the British aristocracy.
“Jeon Gang, in American English it’s Gang, Jeon.”
“Oh, Mr. Jeon. Nice to meet you.”
There is a rather plausible sense of evil in his hand as he shakes hands with a smile. This is a common practice in American upper-class society, where evil is considered pride.
I also grabbed her hand with a moderate amount of force and pulled her towards me. I didn’t pull her too hard, but just crossed the line.
I am superior to you.
That is, since you are a client, it means to remind you of that.
I could feel William’s eyes trembling. Perhaps he had been looked down upon as an Asian before he came here. He must have been puzzled by me, who understood their culture.
“Time is more precious than gold, so let’s get to the point.”
I spoke to him in a commanding tone.
He seemed to be smiling casually, but I could tell from the slight twitching of his eye corners that he was really upset.
“Oh, I almost wasted your precious time again. I received guidance at the desk before coming here. Do you want to open a new derivative product?”
“They didn’t have the type of product I wanted yet, so I made a request.”
“I heard that there were two things that we were told: the dollar would collapse, and the yen would soar.”
“That’s right. The flower of derivatives, no matter what anyone says.”
Synonyms came out of William’s and my mouth.
“Leverage.”
“It’s leverage.”
Looks like you understand what I’m saying.
“I want to use leverage.”
“Wow, that’s a decision as fiery as a handshake.”
These New York stockbrokers never warn of risks. It is perhaps natural, since they have been brainwashed into thinking that the responsibility for investing lies with them.
It’s different from the naive Korean stockbrokers who gave me advice on investing in financial stocks. Well, it’s not that I didn’t understand because the wage system was different.
“I stopped by Goldman Sachs before coming here.”
There was a blatant look of displeasure in the eyes of the man named William.
“Oh my goodness, you came from such a crappy place, are your ears okay?”
I’m not interested in sweet talk.
You guys or those guys, we’re all going to be there anyway.
“All I want is one.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“charge.”
“Wow, you’re absolutely right.”
I turned my head and looked at Kim Kang-min. Kim Kang-min, as expected, handed William the documents that Goldman Sachs had presented.
Sharak, Sharak.
“Hmm.”
Unlike what he had said at first, he forgot to say something for a moment. That was understandable, because I also thought that the conditions Goldman Sachs had proposed were excellent.
Have I forgotten that I am looking at myself, or has greed blinded me?
William licked his tongue, pondered something, and then picked up the extension phone.
“Boss, give me five minutes. Yes, I will go up right away.”
After he hung up the phone, he looked at me and spoke with a confident expression.
“Would you please allow me to use your precious 5 minutes? I will bring you a reward of your choice.”
I looked at the half-empty pretzel.
“Just while I’m chewing this.”
“Yes, I’ll be right back.”
Crunch.
Kim Kang-min didn’t say a word when the door closed.
“Aren’t you curious?”
Kim Kang-min nodded slightly to my question.
“I’m curious, sir.”
“But you don’t ask?”
“I didn’t ask because you didn’t tell me to.”
He nodded.
It seemed like he understood every word I said.
“That guy will probably bring me conditions that I will be satisfied with.”
“Goldman Sachs also said that the conditions were very good.”
I nodded.
Sure, I was right when I made money, they put up some huge conditions. Their conditions were a mere 0.03 percent of the commission.
Of course, there were equally evil conditions attached when losing money.
Kim Kang-min glanced at the tightly closed door and said.
“I think the CEO is confident that the author will bring good terms.”
That’s right.
“yes.”
“hmm…”
“Don’t you believe it?”
“no.”
“How about a bet? A hot dog and a cola.”
Kim Kang-min said with a sly smile.
“I don’t want to do it because I feel like I’m going to lose.”
“Phew, why are you so sure?”
“If that’s what you want, then it will happen. If it doesn’t happen, then I’ll have to make it happen.”
That’s correct.
A very satisfactory answer.
Of course, he wouldn’t have to do it himself. William, whose eyes were gleaming with greed, would have been so greedy for the ashes that his brain would be tainted with greed for the incentive of five million dollars.
