Choi Gichul gritted his teeth and answered, “Yes, sir.”
Woosung ordered him around rudely, “This isn’t Daeyang. Remember that.”
Choi Gichul sighed deeply. His assistant from Daeyang texted quickly to Choi Taemin.
“Relationship worsening. No signs of changes.”
The final compromise from Choi Taemin was to have one assistant from Daeyang follow Choi Gichul around. The rest, including Choi Gichul’s cell phone and bodyguards, were all provided by KND.
Choi Gichul had no choice but to follow Woosung’s orders. If he didn’t, Choi Taemin would be angry.
“Yes, sir.”
Choi Gichul left quickly. Woosung grinned.
Jang Gwangchul, who was also in the room, asked, “Are you a sadist? Why are you so mean to him?”
“Haha, I have a good reason. By the way, is the Korean Business Agency going well?”
“Yeah. Many IT businesses have asked to get involved. Some mid-sized companies too. Ahyun Auto wants to think about it. Other bigger financial and communications companies don’t seem interested though.”
“I expected that.”
“So why are you making this? We don’t need it.”
“To become more powerful and influential. I will need fairer business laws as I buy more companies. Having this agency at my disposal will make it easier for us in the future.”
“Well, I trust your judgment.”
“This will benefit all the other companies too. I want the business world to become more transparent.”
“I see.”
“And now, it’s time for us to start shopping for businesses in Japan.”
“W, what?”
“We should invest in Japan with the money I made from the Japanese disaster.”
“What are you planning?”
“Dobashita, which has the patent for Nand flash memory. If we have this company on top of ANIX, we will become number one in the semiconductor sector.”
“Hmm…”
“As you know, Dobashita invested heavily in nuclear development. After this recent disaster, its stock price has declined sharply. This is our chance.”
“They produce Dram, right?”
“That’s right. If we have ANIX and Dobashita, we will rule the IT industry.”
“I guess. I can’t stop you anyway.”
“So we should visit Japan.”

Choi Gichul returned home with a bunch of reports.
“Bastard! Does he think he owns me?” He threw the papers on the ground.
The assistant, who was following him close behind, hurriedly picked them up. “I will take care of the reports.”
“Dammit! He said he would quiz me on them.”
“Oh, then you can watch me do them.”
Choi Gichul glared.
“What?”
“I apologize.”
“You think apologizing is enough?”
Bam!
The assistant closed his eyes. He knew what was coming.
Every punch was worth 5000 dollars.
Punch!
Wham!
It was painful, but the assistant’s contract guaranteed payments for physical abuse, so it was endurable.
Finally, after a few more punches, Choi Gichul stopped hitting him.
“Get everything done and prepare a summary of everything for me.”
“Yes, sir.”
The assistant left quickly.
Choi Gichul went into his room and took out a cell phone.
It was a secret prepaid phone he hid from everyone.
He called Jung Jinsup. Jung Jinsup didn’t answer the first time, but the second time worked.
“Oh, w… what’s up?”
Jung Jinsup sounded nervous. Choi Gichul grinned.
“Hey, why do you sound so anxious?”
“I… I’m just really busy. What’s going on?”
“How’s working at Bitmain? What do you do there?”
“This is a cryptocurrency dealership. We maintain Coconut Mall too… Yes. Yes, sir.”
Jung Jinsup suddenly hung up.
Choi Gichul called out Jung Jinsup’s name a few times, but there was no answer.
“W… what the!”
After a few minutes, a text message arrived from Jung Jinsup.
“As you know, my company is gone and I need the money. Thanks to Woosung, I got this job.”
Choi Gichul quickly replied.
“Why did you agree to it? If you asked me, I would have gotten you a position at Daeyang.”
“I need to learn how Kang Woosung became successful. I need to know his data analysis technique.”
“Technique?”
“Y.”
That was the end of the conversation. Choi Gichul stared at the phone in frustration.

When Woosung arrived in Japan, he visited the KND branch and met with the manager Park Jinmyung.
“Did you find out what I asked?”
“Yes. As you predicted, they are trying to hide the fact that they have a huge loss by split accounting”
“I knew it.”
In Woosung’s previous life, Dobashita suffered from big losses. They came close to filing bankruptcy. In the end, they ended up selling the memory department to make up the loss.
“Can we steal their information? I want to use them if possible so we can take over this company quickly.”
“You plan to reveal their split accounting to further deteriorate their stock price? That will make it easier for us.”
“We have been buying their stocks for a while now in preparation. If we can make the stock price fall further, wouldn’t it make it easier for us to take over the company?”
“True… In Japan, you are seen favorably.”
“But even then, the Japanese public will still protest against losing their company to a foreigner. We need to make sure to weaken this company before we buy it.”
Park Jinmyung finally understood what Woosung was asking him to do.
“Do you want me to trail the high-ranking officials from Dobashita?”
“I expect that there are a lot of corruptions in this company. If we can get the proofs and release them to the media…”
“Hmm… It won’t be easy.”
“I don’t care how much it costs. I will fund it with my personal money. Don’t use the company fund.”
Park Jinmyung nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“Did you know that Dobashita is making money from the clean up of the recent nuclear explosion?”
Park Jinmyung’s eyes widened. “Pardon?”
“The Japanese nuclear damage compensation law states those that maintained and operated the nuclear plant gets compensated, not the one that developed the plant. This is why Tokyo Electric Power Company may go bankrupt, but Dobashita is making money from it. Does that make sense to you?”
Park Jinmyung shook his head.
“Use this info too.”

Nomura Finance’s Sato Ichiro couldn’t understand.
“Someone made a lot of money on Nikkei future by mass short positioning right before the nuclear disaster.”
It didn’t make sense. He looked at many indexes including the US interest rate, crude oil future, and different countries exchange rates. None of them suggested that the Japanese economy would decline.
“Then did someone predicted the earthquake? How about the Fukushima nuclear plant explosion?”
There were so many strange things about this.
There was no way someone could have predicted nuclear plant involvement. Did this mean someone was involved in this disaster? Did someone purposely make it happen?
It was unthinkable. Ichiro swallowed nervously. He quickly became furious.
“Who would attack Japan like this?”
Someone was out to get his country.
