◈ Episode 207 Petanos (4)

Yoon Se-bin wasn’t flustered because he had already expected Kang Han-soo to attend.

“I came to see what kind of company it was because CEO Kang sang about Petanos.”

“All the way to New York?”

“Representative Kang is attending, so there is no reason for me not to attend.”

“Isn’t it because you’re concerned about the Global Top Fund?”

Kang Han-soo laughed at Yoon Se-bin and Nam Woon-myung with a confident expression.

Yoon Se-bin shook his head and answered.

“We don’t care about other people’s profitability. We just need to do well. Petanos isn’t the only promising company.”

“Haha, you may say so, but… Well, if you invest with the Byglobal Fund, I won’t stop you. They say they’re raising 2 billion dollars today. It’s the last chance to invest before the IPO.”

“Have you invested in the Global Top Fund?”

“Of course. I received the stock a few days ago and processed the deposit. It’s a little cheaper than today’s investor.”

“How much did you invest?”

“It’s half of the fund’s assets. It’s about 500 billion won. If you add in the investment funds I personally commissioned, it’s much more.”

Global Top Fund is a large fund with over 1 trillion won in operating capital. Since Global Top Fund is a fund that is not subject to any investment restrictions, it is possible to focus half of its investment on one stock.

“You did a lot?”

“You have to be sure to win the bet. Let’s wait and see. When Petanos is listed on NASDAQ, the return will easily exceed 100%, no, 1,000%.”

“You believe in Petanos.”

“Coming here and seeing it for myself made it even more certain. Victory is…… for Global Top Fund.”

Nam Yun-myeong chuckled as he listened to the conversation between the two people.

When I saw Ellie Short’s face in person, I became more certain that she was a fraud. But there was no way to prove it. Who would believe that her fate was clear in his eyes?

Nam Woon-myung, whose chest was heavy, got up from his seat.

I wanted to approach the front of the podium and take a closer look at Ellie Short. If I examine her fate closely, I might be able to find evidence that it was a lie.

As I was pushing through the crowd, I bumped into a man. A small voice recorder fell out of his hand.

I quickly picked up the recorder and handed it back to the man.

“sorry.”

“What is it?”

“Is it working well?”

“It doesn’t seem to be broken.”

Fortunately, the man accepted the recorder without much trouble.

Judging by his appearance, he is clearly a reporter.

“Which newspaper is it?”

“This is John from the Wall Street Journal.”

The Wall Street Journal is the most famous newspaper in the financial world.

Nam Woon-myung was curious about the perspective of a professional journalist who judges Petanos.

“What do you think of Petanos?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m from Mega Asset Management. I’m looking for promising venture companies.”

“Oh! I’ve heard of it. It’s the place that acquired Silicon Valley Capital a while ago.”

Mega Asset Management was surprisingly well-known along with Korea Asset Management. Even an American economics reporter knew about it!

After exchanging business cards, John asked again.

“Is Mega Asset Management also planning to invest in Petanos?”

“No, that’s not it. I just came because it was noisy.”

“Why? Is it weird?”

“Well, somehow I feel like there is a truth hidden behind the beauty’s mask.”

John agreed with a satisfied expression at Nam Woon-myung’s muttering.

“Yes. I looked into Ellie’s resume. But… it clearly says that she graduated from Stanford University’s Chemistry Department, but she never graduated from Stanford University. Oh! She did enroll. So I’m currently investigating in more depth.”

As expected, the reporter’s intuition was sharp.

Should I give you a little hint?

Nam Yun-myeong whispered softly in her ear.

“Have you ever looked into Ellie’s history with men?”

“Yes? I’m single.”

“Of course, legally, yes. But I already have a husband. I guess we’re in a relationship, right?”

“Who is that?”

John showed great interest.

“The person closest to you. Then who would that be?”

“Are you by any chance… an insider at Petanos?”

“Of course, if you are a lover, you would have an important role in the company, right?”

That’s all for the hint. It’s not even mentioned in the fate that Nam Woon-myung saw. However, based on the surrounding circumstances, I guessed that it was an executive within the company.

“Ah! I have one person in mind. There was a rumor going around that she was having an affair with the COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Petanos……. But that COO is married and 20 years older than her.”

“Age doesn’t matter in love. If the CEO and COO in charge of the company are having an affair, will the company run properly?”

“Well, the COO’s career was a bit strange. He’s not the type of person to be in charge of a company like this.”

“You should meet with our internal staff and investigate. There is a lot of interesting information. Is there a kit that can diagnose 200 diseases with a drop of blood, as claimed? It may be 20 at best.”

“Oh, how do you know?”

“I did some research. I need to have my doubts cleared before investing.”

Nam Yun-myeong shook hands with John and then turned around.

That’s enough information. The only thing left is when the Wall Street Journal will break the news.

* * *

The investment briefing was a great success.

Nora, who had been listening intently to Ellie Short’s speech, looked for Nam Yun-myeong. Nam Yun-myeong’s seat had been empty for some time.

Besides, there was a strange guy sitting next to Yoon Se-bin and making a fuss.

Nora, who was feeling bad for no reason, got up and went to find Nam Woon-myung.

As she was looking around the banquet hall, she saw someone who seemed to know her.

“Nora! I see you here!”

Nora quickly remembered the tall man who had approached her.

Dan Kirk. He was a key partner at Big Rich Capital. He was the guy who competed with Soph Investments.

“Mr. Kirk, it’s been a while.”

Nora smiled and greeted him, as they were not enemies.

“What’s going on here? Oh! You must have come to invest.”

“Yes, that’s right. What about Mr. Kirk?”

“Why would a private equity fund manager come here?”

“Have you come to invest?”

“No! I came to inspect the company I invested in.”

According to Kirk, BigRich Capital had already invested in Petanos.

Kirk continued boasting.

“Mega Asset Management is just now jumping in, but a large company like Big Rich Capital has been keeping an eye on Petanos for a long time. In particular, the beautiful CEO, who is called the female Steve Jobs…….”

Kirk, who had been absentmindedly exclaiming in admiration at Ellie Short’s beauty, swallowed his words quickly upon seeing Nora’s expressionless face.

“Ah! Anyway, Big Rich Capital got the early lead. That’s my achievement. The profits are already huge, and once it goes public, the profits will skyrocket.”

“So?”

“I want to tell you that it is not too late to invest. As the branch manager of Mega Asset Management, you must have the power to make investment decisions. Invest in Petanos. Your branch’s performance will probably improve significantly.”

“Okay, we won’t invest.”

Kirk frowned at Nora’s cold reaction.

“Why? This good company…….”

“I smell a scammer.”

Nora immediately refused, recalling Nam Woon-myung’s opinion.

Kirk, who had been looking back and forth between Nora and Ellie on the podium, nodded slightly.

“Hmm, you’re jealous. That’s okay. It’s the privilege of being beautiful. Then, should I tell you about another promising company? Of course, it won’t be free. If you take me on a vacation to the Caribbean, I’m willing to tell you a lot of information.”

Nora glared at Kirk and sighed.

“Go alone. I’m fine.”

“Nora! Aren’t your achievements important? I can give you some!”

“Tell me after you hit the jackpot with Petanos.”

“It’s a jackpot, of course…….”

Nora shook off Kirk’s grasp on her arm and ran away, grumbling.

“Our CEO is much better, but where did that kid roll in…….”

Just as she was about to turn back, she discovered Nam Woon-myeong.

Nam Woon-myung was talking to someone he didn’t know.

* * *

There was someone who tried to hold back Nam Woon-myung as he tried to go back after breaking up with the Wall Street Journal reporter.

He was a young man who looked like a college student and was dressed lightly.

“Who are you?”

“My name is… Kevin Brun. Please call me Kevin.”

“Oh! Kevin, what’s going on?”

Nam Yun-myeong expressed his doubts because he did not know the person at all.

“I just heard you talking.”

It seemed like he had been watching the conversation between him and the Wall Street Journal reporter.

“But?”

“Are you looking for a place to invest?”

It seemed like he figured out that he was a private equity fund manager. After all, everyone here is either an investor or a reporter.

Nam Woon-myung, who did not want to waste time, asked for the other person’s understanding and tried to leave.

But at first glance, the face of the person I was seeing was special. It was a face that would soon lead to great success.

The appearance was incomparable to that of the monkey woman still screaming on the podium.

At least he’s not a scammer, so let’s hear his story.

“Kevin, shall we move?”

Nam Yunming moved to a relatively quiet place at the entrance.

Nam Woon-myung picked up a bottle of water prepared by the organizer and asked Kevin.

“Kevin, can you tell me your date of birth first?”

It was a strange request, but Kevin answered without paying attention.

Nam Woon-myung was able to see into Kevin’s fate. It was amazing. It was enough to make one wonder why such a talented person had not been discovered until now.

“If you could tell me……”

As he opened his mouth, he heard a voice calling him from behind.

“Director Nam!”

Nora approached him.

Nam Woon-myung introduced Nora to Kevin.

“I am the manager of the New York branch of Mega Asset Management.”

When Kevin stuttered in surprise at the unexpectedly young branch manager, Nam Woon-myung politely made a request.

“Now, let me tell you. Please introduce yourself first.”

“I majored in mechanical engineering at MIT. I’m currently looking for a job… but I can’t find a suitable place.”

I said it indirectly, but it meant that everyone had fallen.

MIT is a world-famous university. It was strange that a graduate from such a university was struggling to find a job.

“Why couldn’t I get a job?”

“That’s… because there’s something I want to do. There’s no company that can make my dreams come true.”

“What do you want to do?”

“It’s a robot.”

Kevin Brun has been a robot enthusiast since he was a child. He was fascinated by C-3PO and R2D2 from Star Wars and dreamed of building robots like them.

So I decided to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.

After entering college, he formed a circle with students who had similar dreams and built robots.

After graduation, I wanted to work at a robotics company.

However, existing robot development companies were not a good fit for him at all. Companies that focused on industrial robots forced him to do simple tasks, so he left after only two months.

There was no company developing the robots he had seen in the movies and wanted to make.

“I decided to challenge myself. But the wall of reality was high. No one knew me.”

His ideas were dismissed as something out of a movie.

Since I had no money, I had no way to implement my idea.

Then, Kevin heard about the Petanos investment seminar. It was the hottest venture in Silicon Valley recently, so he attended the seminar without thinking.

Of course, it was not his intention to invest in Petanos. He was led here by the hope that if there were many investors here who were conscious enough to invest in Petanos, there would be at least one investor who would understand him.

Of course, I couldn’t find it here either.

As he was turning around in disappointment, he found Nam Woon Myung questioning Petanos.

‘If it’s this person… … .’

And Kevin caught the fate that would become a turning point in his life.
