◈ Episode 210 Investment and Investment (2)
Nora had complicated feelings.
The exhilaration of victory was indescribable as he saw the once successful and idolized figure in the financial world fall while he himself was on the rise… … .
On the other hand, the reality that even a famous person could collapse overnight in this neighborhood grew fearful.
On the one hand, I felt sorry for Kirk.
“So what are you going to do now?”
[I should resign.]
“What next?”
[I don’t know yet. I’ll have to take a break for a while and figure out a way to survive.]
“I will cheer you on.”
That was all Nora could say.
There was a brief pause in the conversation.
After a while, Kirk asked again.
[Nora, you’re not saying that today?]
“What are you talking about?”
[If you get cut off, come to Mega Asset Management.]
Nora smiled involuntarily as she recalled the old conversation. How could she remember such a joke!
“I really don’t think you’ll come, so I can’t. But… if it’s really hard, then come. Of course, it won’t be free.”
[I’ve been waiting for you to say that. If it’s really hard… … let’s go.]
After hanging up the phone, Nora became lost in thought.
He and she both know what it means when they say it ain’t free.
Dan Kirk is a man of feeling, but he is capable and, above all, has a wide reach in the financial world. If Dan Kirk were to join Mega Asset Management, which is comprised of virtually novices with little experience, it would be helpful.
Of course, if only that wind could be fixed.

Yun Se-bin returned to the dorm with Nam Woon-myeong.
Tonight is my last night in New York.
She finished getting ready in her bedroom area and turned her head to the room where Nam Woon Myung would be.
The suite, which is spread out on both sides with the living room as the center, is spacious. The living room in the center caught my eye. Beyond it, although it is not visible from here, there will be a bed where Nam Woon-myung is lying.
I don’t know how many times I’ve been on a business trip and shared a room like this.
When she heard that Nam Woon-myung was moving from Silicon Valley to New York, she impulsively flew to New York as well.
More than anything, I didn’t want to put Nam Woon Myung and Seon Yoon Ah in the same place.
Nam Woon-myung strongly denies it, but the relationship between the two is still suspicious. For some reason, Nam Woon-myung keeps catching my eye because he cares about Seon-yoon-ah.
“Are we really not related?”
She thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“It’s none of my business.”
Anyway, both he and she will be leaving New York tomorrow.
Suddenly, I wondered what his next plan was.
“Mr. Destiny?”
He raised his voice toward the invisible area.
“yes?”
Nam Woon-myung’s answer was heard.
We’re just a few steps away from each other, but we’re talking so loudly without even looking at each other. What on earth is going on?
“What are you going to do tomorrow?”
“Ah! I think I have to go back to Silicon Valley tomorrow.”
“Why are you there? You came back, right?”
“Because of Megarobotics. I have to ask Mark Austin about the possibility of AI. Mr. Yoon, would you like to come with me?”
It was natural that I would finish my work and leave while I was in the US. I felt a little sad that she didn’t return to Korea with me. Of course, it would be okay if she went to Silicon Valley with me, but I felt a little awkward about doing so.
“No. I want to go to Korea.”
I barely managed to pull myself together and resist the temptation. And I took out the resentment I had been feeling since the day before.
“Mr. Destiny, Mega Robotics. Is that something that Mega Asset Management is investing in alone?”
“Currently. Of course, if you want, you can invest in Korea Asset Management.”
“Why don’t you do it together this time and do it alone?”
Until now, Mega Asset Management has rarely invested in startups or ventures on its own. Of course, the biggest reason for this is that Mega Asset Management initially brought in Korea Asset Management due to lack of funds. Now that Mega Asset Management has ample funds, it is natural for it to make independent investments, but that is what upsets her.
“Because it’s a startup, we only have about 10 billion won to invest. It’s too small to work together…….”
“Yes, that’s right. Later, when you grow further, we’ll invest too.”
Yoon Se-bin backed down obediently.
As I was packing and getting ready, I noticed the pajamas I had brought with me with great determination this time.
I remembered the time when I had a fight with Hyun Ah-sol at a bar and was driving Nam Woon-myung back home.
‘If you want, you should wear a mini one-piece dress too!’
‘When I see you wearing only a business suit, it feels like I’m looking at my boss’s face.’
HyunA Sol’s provocation that day has not left my mind since then.
And then… … .
‘I think Representative Yoon would look pretty if he wore that too?’
Even Nam Woon-myung’s words.
It was ambiguous whether it was a lie that came out when she was drunk or her true feelings, but it was true that she blamed herself by comparing herself to HyunA Sol.
So, this time, when I came on a business trip, I boldly bought a mini one-piece pajama and brought it with me.
Although it is not a flashy style with primary colors like HyunA Sol, the chest area is exposed and the skirt length is short. Instead, I chose a black color because I didn’t have the courage to wear it.
Yoon Se-bin repeatedly picked up and put down the mini dress spread out on the bed.
I don’t know what to do, I don’t think I’ll ever have the courage again if I don’t do it today.
“Oh, why am I like this?”
I never imagined that I would have to worry about something like this in my entire life. Up until now, her life had been a struggle to be accepted by her family, so the only men she had ever known were her father and her older brother. Both of them were hostile to her.
Her pride also did not allow her to seduce a man in this way.
“Representative Yoon?”
“yes?”

I didn’t want to look like this, so I hurriedly tried to put away my mini dress, but my body wouldn’t follow.
Nam Woon-myung, who had appeared in the living room, was tilting his head and looking at her.
‘I’m screwed!’
Her actions of holding the clothes in her hands and not being able to do anything made her feel even more awkward.
Yoon Se-bin barely managed to catch his breath and muster up his courage.
“Mr. Destiny, do you remember what you said before?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you dress like Asol, you’ll look pretty.”
“yes?”
Nam Yun-myeong was startled and embarrassed.
Yoon Se-bin’s feelings deepened as he thought that maybe he had really said that when he was drunk.
Anyway, since it was too late to fix it, Yoon Se-bin mustered up his courage once more.
“Will I look good wearing this?”
Yoon Se-bin asked while holding the mini one-piece dress and holding it against her body.
Nam Woon-myung’s eyes widened.
If you ask me to try it on, I’d wear it. I’m not sure if I can handle it though.
“hmm…….”
Nam Woon-myung swallowed a long sigh and spoke calmly.
“Of course she’s pretty. Representative Yoon is beautiful no matter what she wears. However…….”
Nam Yun-myeong hesitated to continue speaking.
“but?”
Nam Woon-myung continued speaking with a gentle smile.
“As Mr. Yoon said before… we are employees of a financial company and trust is our top priority. We must never let our trust be broken.”
“ah!”
Yun Se-bin never dreamed that the words she had confidently spoken when she first came on a business trip with Nam Woon-myung would come back to her in this way.
“I want to maintain trust with Representative Yoon.”
Nam Woon-myung, who had just finished speaking so quickly, quickly disappeared into his own territory.
The one-piece dress fell out of Yoon Se-bin’s hands.
“Am I… being chased?”
* * *
Nam Woon-myung, who broke up with Yoon Se-bin, flew back to Silicon Valley.
He called Mark Austin, and Mark Austin readily invited him to his home.
Around dinnertime, Nam Woon-myung stopped by Austin’s house near Stanford University. It was a small and simple house where he lived alone with his child.
“Welcome. I wanted to meet you anyway.”
Austin welcomed him.
Tom, who was sitting on the sofa, struggling hard with the chatbot, found him and ran over.
“Sir, what’s going on?”
“I came to see you.”
“What about your brother?”
The older brother Tom is talking about is Heo Eun-gyu of the Korea Future Research Institute.
I heard that these two get along so well that they still remain friends through occasional video calls even after Tom returned to the US.
“My brother couldn’t come because he was busy.”
“Ah! Then should I go…….”
Nam Woon-myung burst into laughter at the sight of Tom sighing, as if he was looking at a child.
Maybe it was because he was home or because his condition had improved since then, but Tom seemed much more stable.
A simple meal was quickly prepared.
With a plate of steak, french fries, and salad in front of him, Nam Woon-myung began his business.
“How are you doing these days?”
“Thanks to you, I’m doing well. I’ve reduced my commuting time to the AI Center a lot. My school lectures are the same. Instead, my personal research has increased. Of course, most of them are development projects commissioned by the Korea Future Research Institute.”
Austin has played a major role in the development of autonomous ship navigation systems.
We have developed the ability to stabilize and respond to crisis situations so that AI does not cause exceptional reactions, which has greatly improved the stability of the system.
If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to develop the system so quickly.
“I am always grateful.”
“I should be the one thanking you. Thanks to you, I get to spend more time with Tom. Oh, by the way! Among the Stanford graduates this time, there are some guys who developed artificial intelligence with me…….”
Austin developed a good relationship with the students because he often met them in lectures and at the AI Center and used them as assistant researchers.
Three or four of those students asked Austin for advice on starting an artificial intelligence venture.
“They are still students who are lacking, but their potential is outstanding. They will become great in the future. So, can you invest in them?”
Investing is not difficult. You can invest through Silicon Valley Capital or directly through the New York branch of Mega Asset Management. The only problem is which students they are.
“What kind of artificial intelligence do you want to develop?”
There are many types of artificial intelligence.
“What’s the advantage of being a fresh graduate? Isn’t it that you can do anything? They haven’t decided on a specialty yet. They just have dreams. They’re just undergraduates, not graduates, so their expertise is lacking, but their ideas shine brightly.”
“We’ll meet and decide.”
“I knew it. So, what are you doing here?”
Nam Woon-myung explained Mega Robotics, a robot development company. As expected, Austin showed great interest.
“So, you’re saying that you’re going to develop a robot that works like a butler, not just a simple robot. To do that, artificial intelligence is essential, but existing artificial intelligence has its limitations.”
“So, is it possible to develop it?”
Of course, the Korea Future Research Institute can be expanded and reorganized. However, the Korea Future Research Institute must continue to improve the ship autonomous navigation system, and is also developing artificial intelligence to be installed on the VF-3. Also, artificial intelligence that efficiently performs searches is on track… … There is a lot to do.
“There is nothing that cannot be done. At least for engineers like us. I think I can do it.”
“Still, the manpower…….”
“The fastest way is to use the Autochat engine we saw before. If we modify the Autochat engine, we can use it for robots. If we leave this work to those graduates…….”
Luckily, the picture that Nam Woon-myung wanted ended up being the same as the picture that Austin wanted. With the graduates that Austin introduced, we just need to develop artificial intelligence for robots.
If it’s an AI company led by Austin, you can trust it with complete confidence. It seems like it can solve the problem of AI development manpower shortage in one go.
“I need to invest properly.”
“Haha, AI development is a money-eating hippopotamus. Right now, we’re patching it up with the help of the Stanford AI Center. But we can’t do this forever. It won’t be long before we have to consider forming alliances with existing big tech companies.”
A new challenge was presented to him.
