◈ Episode 297 Their Time (4)
Even when Han Hye-rin chose a bag, Jeong Seon-yeong couldn’t choose one herself.
A life that has never been associated with luxury goods causes trouble at times like this.
At that time, Choi Da-eun appeared.
Choi Da-eun, who recognized Jeong Seon-yeong, smiled brightly and pretended to know her.
“What’s going on?”
“I came with a friend……”
Choi Da-eun glanced at her and immediately got down to business.
“If you’re a mega director… aren’t you now the richest of the rich?”
Actually, that’s not wrong.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Then let’s dress up in Hermes today. You won’t regret it. This is a must-have item when selling to the ladies in Gangnam.”
Choi Da-eun created a full set of items including a Hermes suit, necklace, bracelet, ring, wallet, watch, bag, and shoes.
Han Hye-rin, who was watching from the side, opened her mouth wide.
She envied Jeong Seon-yeong, who had her entire body covered in luxury goods she could never have dreamed of in her life.
I wanted to buy it like that, so I clung to Shin Cheol-ho, but he didn’t come over, and Jeong Seon-yeong ended up buying it herself.
Han Hye-rin regretted joining Mega late.
As of now, there is no way… … Since Nam Woon-myeong is a goja, I have to properly seduce Shin Cheol-ho… … .
* * *
At that very moment, Shin Cheol-ho was walking around an imported car dealership.
Next to him, Jo Ha-neul is following him around.
“Sir, if I were to describe this car, it would be the sporty model that young people like the most…….”
“Hey, what do you think of that?”
“It’s not that great?”
“Then pass.”
While moving cars, Shin Cheol-ho asked Jo Ha-neul about his tastes and respected his opinion.
The dealer’s expression as he explained became crumpled.
“Then how about this? The partially modified model that came out early this year…….”
“Hey, what’s the latest model?”
The dealer closed his mouth on his own.
The dealer’s eyes are scanning the product to determine whether or not the buyer is truly interested in buying it.
In the past, I would have been intimidated by the attitude of a dealer like that, but now he is one of the nouveau riche.
Since you are in front of Jo Ha-neul, you need to straighten your neck.
“So, sir, what car are you driving now?”
“Bentley. The model is…….”
“omg!”
Shin Chul-ho became even more determined. The Bentley actually belongs to Yoon Se-bin, but he’s the only one using it, so what does it matter?
“I’m thinking of buying a car today and keeping the good car as my first choice and the bad one as my second choice. Do you want to sell the first car? Do you want to sell the second?”
“Well…….”
The dealer moved on to the top-of-the-line car as if he couldn’t lose.
Shin Cheol-ho muttered as he stroked the top-of-the-line car in front of the store with a satisfied expression.
“It looks a little better now. I have to distinguish between first and second cars because I’m a woman. First cars have to go in first cars, right?”
“Yes? Oh, right.”
The dealer matched the odds.
But Jo Ha-neul’s eyebrows went up when he understood those words.
“Mr. Cheol-ho!”
“yes?”
“What on earth do you mean? Are you really in a relationship with that woman, Han Hye-rin?”
“Well, super rich people don’t just drive supercars. But don’t worry, you’re the first.”
“is it so?”
“To be honest, the first is Representative Yoon Se-bin, but since he won’t come over, you are now the first.”
Jo Ha-neul, who was about to run out at that moment, barely suppressed his impulse and stayed next to her.
“But it’s first…….”
The dealer again used all sorts of fancy words to describe the car. He even praised Jo Ha-neul’s beauty and kept praising her, saying that this was the kind of car that was worthy of the title.
Jo Ha-neul’s heart suddenly relaxed. She linked arms with Shin Cheol-ho again.
Shin Cheol-ho, who had made up his mind, urged the dealer.
“I’ll sign the contract. Full option. Bring the contract.”
The dealer muttered as he ran past.
“Damn… So that’s how life is supposed to be lived. Even though he’s a two-timing, the beauty can’t move. Did he get hit with a windfall?”
* * *
The Sun Valley Conference was held.
Held in the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, this conference is attended by invited billionaires, or more specifically, global businesspeople.
At this networking, social conference, CEOs enjoy lectures and parties, negotiate behind-the-scenes deals and make secret mergers and investments.
Yoon Se-bin was invited as a speaker at this event.
This is the moment when she truly debuts on the world stage.
Yoon Se-bin explained the role of investment in leading industries and cited the artificial intelligence industry as an example.
“……Over the next 10 years, 30% of the S&P index increase will be achieved by the artificial intelligence AI industry. Therefore, the core of investment is…….”
There was thunderous applause.
After the lecture, the audience flocked to meet her.
Famous CEOs who are well-known by name alone, CEOs of giant empires with market capitalizations exceeding $1 trillion, shook hands with her.
Some people even brought her photo from the cover of Phobos to get her autograph.

“The real thing is better!”
Now she was a star, cheered on by fans.
Nam Yun-myeong was overcome with pride at the back of the lecture hall.
He saw his own growth and fulfillment in Yoon Se-bin’s growth. He doesn’t know when, but he identified himself with her. Her success is his success.
In reality, there wasn’t much difference. The growth of Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management occurred simultaneously.
The conference made her a true celebrity, at least among those who run the global economy.
CSK’s normalization clearly demonstrated Yun Se-bin’s capabilities.
CSK, a once insolvent bank, has transformed into a super-good bank. CSK’s stock price has risen by more than ten times since they bought it. It still has a long way to go compared to its past historical highs, but given the current trend, I am confident that it will easily surpass its previous highs within a few years.
Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management, which invested in CSK, hit the jackpot, and the two sovereign wealth funds that invested at their recommendation also made huge profits. The positions of the two powerful figures were also strengthened.
The person who amassed more wealth than anyone else was none other than Yoon Se-bin.
She invested most of her assets, even taking out loans from Korea Bank, into CSK, so she also reaped the biggest rewards. Now, her assets are naturally the highest in Korea, and she has grabbed one of the top ten wealth in the world. Needless to say, her influence is obvious.
She was only about thirty years old. As a beautiful young woman, her popularity was sky-high.
A young man approached Nam Woon-myung, who couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Director Nam?”
“Who are you?”
“This is James Taylor, CEO of Future AI.”
At first glance, James’ appearance was covered with dark clouds.
“Yes, hello, Mr. Taylor.”
“Please call me James.”
“Yes, James. But… who are you?”
Nam Woon-myung had first heard of Future AI. However, to be invited here, you had to be a pretty successful celebrity.
James explained future AI in detail.
It was once an AI development company that was as successful as OAI. It gained wealth and fame within a few years of its founding.
However, Future AI was unlucky in the recent period when AI was at the forefront of the industry. The AI products developed up to that point lagged behind competitors, and a major error was discovered at a demonstration hall.
It was only in an instant that the reputation of Future AI fell.
“I was foolish back then. I thought things would continue to go well.”
This is a typical characteristic of people who succeeded at a young age. There are many ventures in Silicon Valley that burn brightly for a moment and then disappear.
“Once we collapsed, everything went wrong. It wasn’t easy to recover. Above all, once we lost the trust of investors, no additional investment came in. As the funds dried up, it became difficult to recruit talent, and everything we did became a mess. We’re still holding on with the funds we received, but…….”
Even so, it is the 10th largest AI development company in the U.S. It was once valued at close to $10 billion, and even after its decline, its current value is over $2 billion.
I heard that you barely managed to get an invitation to this conference. It was possible because you were a famous person who had been confidently invited just three years ago.
Nam Woon-myeong predicted that it would not be easy for James to escape this predicament for the time being, judging by the dark clouds hanging over his face.
“I think I know something now. So I’m confident that I can succeed if I get one more chance… But I’m falling helplessly at the very entrance to the AI world….”
In other words, it means that you want to invest.
The IT industry changes very quickly, so once you fall behind in the competition, it is not easy to catch up. That is why no one is willing to invest in future AI. It is unfair to James, but there is no chance to make up for the bad luck of the past.
“Why did you come to me of all people?”
“The Korea Future Research Institute is a legendary company in this field. It has received a whopping $30 billion in investment from AMZ.”
That was the art of negotiation. In fact, that investment made the Daehan Mirae Research Institute leap forward. Since then, it has entered the leading competition with AMZ.
“So?”
“I heard that Korea Future Research Institute’s potential was recognized and the first companies to invest were Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management. I heard that they were attending this conference, so I came here despite my rudeness. And then I found you.”
“Wouldn’t Representative Yoon have been better?”
“As you can see, he is very busy…….”
Even now, Yoon Se-bin is surrounded by people. He is the most popular person at this conference.
Unfortunately, Nam Woon-myung is not an AI engineer. James diligently explained the excellence of the AI developed by Future AI, but nothing stuck in his head.
However, seeing the dark cloud over his face made me reluctant to invest.
When Nam Woon-myung didn’t show any particular reaction, his voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and he finally asked in a disappointed tone.
“I guess you have no intention of investing.”
“Yes. We don’t have much money right now.”
The reality is different. The Korea Future Research Institute has $30 billion in AMZ.
“Huh, I guess there’s nothing I can do. The world is a difficult place after all.”
“There will be investors who will recognize your abilities. By the way… what is your date of birth?”
James answered obediently.
Nam Woon-myeong read James’s fate.
‘Oh! It’s different from what I expected?’
After just two years, James transforms into a rising star.
However, the fields are slightly misaligned. Currently, we are focusing on AI theoretical research and AI engine development, but in the future, we will commercialize the developed AI engines.
Isn’t it true that people who apply basic scientific technology to create products are more successful than those who originally developed it?
The moment he read James’s fate, Nam Woon-myeong thought of the synergy between the Korea Future Research Institute and Future AI.
The Korea Institute for Future Research was also focusing on AI technology development, but was having difficulties applying and commercializing it.
I found the solution.
“Hmm.”
As Nam Woon-myung groaned and stared at him intently, James took a step back and asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“How much do you want to invest?”
“With something like a billion dollars, I could somehow…….”
“I will invest $3 billion from Mega Asset Management. But if you accept one thing.”
James’ hardened complexion slowly began to light up.
“One thing?”
“How about giving up on basic research in AI and focusing on application development?”
James’ face crumpled again.
It is a clear expression of dislike.
“That suits you better. There are a few days left until the conference ends, so you can decide by then.”
Nam Woon-myeong threw down his homework and moved to Yun Se-bin.
