Omniscient Investment Point - Chapter 281

281 Clue – 2

(1)

After China’s strict cryptocurrency regulations, many companies moved overseas.

Among them were places that traded cryptocurrencies, places that developed them, and even mining companies.

At the time, there was talk that it was a regulation for the conversion to the country’s own digital yuan, but in reality, the purpose was to control capital flowing out of the country.

But every policy had its bright and dark sides.

Although some of the capital flowing out of the country was caught, there was a sense of crisis that the global trend of cryptocurrency could be missed.

Naturally, as the era of Bitcoin’s institutionalization arrived, China’s strategy had to change.

Although it was only in the US, UK, and some countries such as Hong Kong, there were signs that the currency that had been calling for decentralization was entering the realm of regulation.

In other words, an environment has been created that can prevent overseas outflows while also following the global trend of cryptocurrencies.

However, except for Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins still have the risk of decentralization.

Ultimately, the Chinese government has drawn up several internal scenarios for deregulating cryptocurrencies.

The big thing was to kill several birds with one stone, and the ambition was to bring altcoins, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, under Chinese control.

This required experts as great as the coin developers, and here’s where the problem started.

Due to strong regulations, many experts have already left the country.

Of course, it’s not like there aren’t any developers at all; they just need to take the time to grow.

However, they concluded that the systems being built by those currently remaining in China are vulnerable to hacking.

So, we had no choice but to secretly call back the developers who had gone overseas, and we started making contact with them in Hong Kong, where most of them had settled.

Of course, we offered the best conditions and treatment, but some accepted and some rejected.

Since then, he has been persistently working on persuading people, and one of the people who was secretly given this mission is said to be Choi Hoon-seop.

“Originally, Choi Hoon-seop was sent by the Chinese government to persuade developers.”

“Is that true?”

“If you ask for facts, it is based on speculation.”

“hmm······.”

I burst into laughter as I listened to the Chinese government, cryptocurrencies, and Choi Hoon-seop’s relationship.

“But developers pretty much believe that guess, right?”

“Yes, that’s true. At least that’s what the developers here believe.”

“So, have you ever heard of the Hong Kong coin listing scam?”

“Yes.”

“There is a possibility that Choi Hoon-seop was involved.”

“That’s also easy to guess. He ate it while the developers were returning to China.”

I nodded.

But, another question arises here.

“How could that be possible? After all, Hong Kong is also part of China.”

Among the places included in One China, Hong Kong is different from Taiwan.

The government authorities that already rule Hong Kong have fallen into the hands of China.

Therefore, if Choi Hoon-seop was China’s liaison, it was inevitable that he would be caught in the fraud.

“Of course there will be someone looking after you, right?”

“okay.”

The answer wasn’t difficult.

Choi Hoon-seop had a backer.

Whoever he was, he was definitely someone with money and power.

Enough to turn a blind eye to a trillion-dollar fraud.

‘Maybe we could have shared that money and enjoyed it.’

When I thought about it this way, Cheng Zixian’s organization was finished.

“That’s all I know. Oh, and it’s all based on speculation, of course.”

“all right.”

I nodded and looked at Cheng Zixian.

Is it because of my distrust of China? Or was it because of the influence of the professor I met earlier?

I’m a little worried about him.

Maybe the conversation we had here could leak out.

“Don’t worry. Eavesdropping is impossible in this space.”

“Yes, hahaha.”

“By the way, how is Korea?”

I looked at Bang Jeong-Hyeon with endless questions.

But, how could this gentleman understand something that I don’t understand?

“Oh, sorry. Did I ask a difficult question?”

“No. That’s a strange question. When you ask about Korea, are you asking about the cryptocurrency environment?”

“Yes, that’s the question. Is it as active as the US or China? Or is it more active? Or is it not interested?”

I don’t know about the US, but is China active?

I learned that there is a world beyond what is visible on the outside.

The same was true of Cheng Zixian’s question.

On the surface, Korea occupies an ambiguous position.

It is neither encouraging cryptocurrencies like some countries, nor is it strengthening regulations.

“If I may tell you a fact based on my own speculation, I think Korea will soon join the fight for cryptocurrency dominance.”

“also······.”

As if he knew it, Cheng Zixian nodded.

‘This guy is looking for an opportunity.’

I don’t know what kind it was, but I could read the desire in his expression.

“Well, please come visit Korea sometime.”

“Are you in Korea?”

“Yes, I would like to talk more comfortably there.”

“Ah, yes······.”

He told me to be at ease, but I don’t trust China.

In particular, Bang Jeong-hyeon and I, who came as secret envoys, are going around here and there, but there is no surveillance at all?

‘I’m not that naive.’

So, I’m a little worried about this guy.

Because I felt like I would be taken to the Communist Party for questioning right away, even tomorrow.

Cheng Zixian nodded, not knowing whether he knew what I was thinking or not.

“Okay. As you said, I will definitely visit Korea sometime.”

I nodded and held out my hand to him.

“Well then, goodbye.”

“Yes, please go in carefully.”

Next time I see you, I hope the ‘±20’ engraved in my right eye will be sparkling.

“There is no information that can be obtained in a refreshing way.”

On the way back, in the taxi, Bang Jeong-hyeon spoke to me.

It’s a habit I’ve developed recently, but I keep looking around.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You, hahaha······. Do you think someone is watching us?”

There is also a taxi driver in front, and Bang Jeong-hyeon asks him openly.

I also thought that I didn’t know, and answered frankly.

“I don’t trust China. Isn’t this a country under a one-party dictatorship, and a communist one at that?”

“Well, from a capitalist perspective, China is a country that cannot be trusted. But we are secret envoys. Even if China publicly says that it is suppressing human rights, it cannot do anything to us.”

Indeed, if you mess with us carelessly, you will be declaring to the world that you are hostile to Korea.

Moreover, if you had investigated Bang Jeong-hyeon and me, you would have known that I was particularly pro-government.

“Even if the two people who met yesterday have somewhat opposing styles, one thing is certain. If we turn Korea into our enemy, we will face tiring situations in the future.”

“okay.”

“Okay, then, let me ask you the question again. How much do you trust what the young man named Cheng Zixian said earlier?”

“I’m pretty much a believer.”

“hmm······.”

“Aren’t you an old man?”

“It’s half and half.”

“Ah, yes······.”

It seemed as if Cheng Zhixian was secretly, no, almost openly criticizing the Chinese government.

The person who said that he did not trust the Chinese government even more was Professor Zhao Shihan, who introduced Cheng Zhixian.

But this guy only believes half of it.

What is the reason?

“At first I couldn’t remember, but then I remembered who Cheng Zixian was as the youngest son.”

“······?”

“He is the son of the current Vice Premier of China.”

“uh?”

I was startled.

If you are the Vice Premier of Commerce, you rank 6th in the Communist Party hierarchy.

In China, a one-party dictatorship, it actually means ranking 6th.

“In short, he is the son of a high-ranking public official. He is no different from a nobleman who grew up well without worrying about what others think.”

“hmm······.”

He was in a position where he never had to worry about wiretapping in the first place.

“Is the reason you believe in the other half because of Professor Zhao Shihan?”

“That’s right. I trust him 51%.”

51% sounds like they don’t trust each other that much, but in reality it was the opposite.

We were economic people, so we thought 51% was close to 100% and 49% was close to 0%.

So I said.

“Then I will go with 51% trust in Cheng Zixian.”

“······?”

Bang Jeong-Hyeon’s eyes with question marks lit up.

I smiled and said it again, because it meant to ask for a reason and basis.

“It’s a feeling.”

“haha······.”

Immediately, Bang Jeong-hyeon’s awkward laughter was heard.

‘I’m sorry. I can’t tell you the secret of my life, so I have no choice but to sell my persimmon.’

20 more days available, the moment this light came on, I had to trust Cheng Zixian.

The next day, we met again with two Chinese diplomatic envoys.

In official settings, Jang I-min raised his voice again today, just like the day before yesterday, as if he had clearly defined his role as good cop and bad cop.

“What’s going on? Korea doesn’t make any concessions! Why are you trying to get everything?”

“Are you kidding me? China was the one who first put the spoon in our mouth!”

We’ve already decided on the good cops and bad cops.

So I fought Jang I-min without backing down even once.

Actually, I know.

The conclusion we reached through our fight will not be adopted by any country.

Because of this, our fight was nothing more than a mere sparring match.

In reality, I thought everything would be decided at the drinking party we met at night.

“I met Vice Premier Cheng yesterday, and he agreed with my thoughts.”

It was just as I expected.

Good Cop Hoo Cheon-rin came to a conclusion and came here today.

In response to him, our Korean Good Cop Bang Jeong-Hyeon swallowed and asked him.

“If you agree?”

“The past is not the problem. For the future, Korea and China must walk the path of partnership.”

“Oh, that’s good to hear.”

A scene where, if someone heard it, they might call us communists.

But just recently we met with the Japanese Prime Minister and discussed similar issues.

Therefore, the debate over whether he is pro-Japanese or communist varies depending on one’s perspective.

For the good of the nation, there must be clear give and take at the diplomatic table.

It was the same even then.

“However, we cannot ignore the public’s opinion, so something a little extreme may follow.”

“That has nothing to do with our country’s seas, right?”

The word ‘radical’ mentioned by Hu Cheon-rin, and the meaning of ‘sea’ given to Bang Jeong-hyeon.

I could feel it intuitively.

Any drastic action here could lead to a military conflict at sea.

“How could that be?”

“Oh, then that’s fine.”

As long as it’s not our country.

It was Bang Jeong-hyeon who nodded neatly.

But still, I was curious.

‘Is it Taiwan? Surely not Japan?’

It was a few days after returning home that my dream became reality.
