The Tycoon Who Flies Into Space Episode 84

Episode 84: Engagement Preparation

“If there is no Gwansi, it is not easy for foreigners to access A shares.”

Jeongyeon shook her head at my words.

“China is strange. If it’s just a stock, it’s a stock. What’s an A-share and what’s a B-share? And why are there so many stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen?”

“There are only two places, Shanghai and Shenzhen?”

“Anyway, the more I study, the more complicated my head becomes.”

Jeongyeon grumbled lightly, but it was just an excuse. Most people would have already figured out the situation in China.

I knew that if I pretended to know, I would end up having to pass on the work, so I pretended not to know.

“Don’t you think that your brain capacity is limited?”

“How can you say such things about me!”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s funny.”

“It’s exciting.”

When I saw my sister laughing at my words, a strange thought occurred to me.

If Jeongyeon had gone to another company, she would be working hard at the bottom, making copies and drinking coffee.

I met my brother and immediately gave him a big project to work on, and he was doing quite well.

“I think the title of this movie was Autumn Story? Anyway, I hope it does well.”

“If Jamie is the female protagonist, it will be a hit. It would have been better if Roger had directed it.”

“Who is that?”

“Notting Hill manager. We tried to recruit him, but he said he was resting because his heart wasn’t in good condition.”

“Oh my! That’s a chronic disease.”

“That’s why I can’t do difficult work.”

“So that’s why you left it to Richard as a substitute.”

“Yeah, I think it’s the best I can do.”

“But brother.”

“why?”

“Why not take this opportunity to buy a winery in Napa Valley?”

“You want to buy a winery?”

“I’ve been there a few times because of the scenes where Jamie appears as the owner. The scenery is really nice and I really liked it.”

“Really? Should I go and see it too?”

“I went there and the view was nice and the wine was delicious. If I had the money, I would buy some.”

California is a popular place to live because of its mild climate all year round. For someone like me who sometimes likes to stay in the country because of the inconveniences of big cities, having a winery nearby is a great way to spend weekends.

Maybe it was because I spent my childhood on a farm, but I liked the smell of the earth.

“If there’s a land broker there, get his contact information… … No, I think the chairman would know that well.”

“This boss? Oh, he was a broker in LA.”

“There will be data on toads too.”

“Why would a toad care about a winery? That reminds me of something. Do something about that cheap wine.”

The fact that soju company Dugeobi has recently been devoting its efforts to producing high-quality wine is not widely known to the outside world.

Even today, toad wine is synonymous with low-quality wine.

“We are currently purchasing foreign wineries, and starting next year, we plan to sell wine imported directly from abroad instead of the cheap domestically produced wine you mentioned.”

“Oh! So now the wine that tastes like soju is gone.”

“That’s a product that deserves the name wine. From now on, I’ll let you taste real wine.”

“Is toad wine disappearing now?”

“We should get rid of it, if only for the sake of the company’s image.”

Jeongyeon nodded as if she liked it, but it was difficult.

“Hmm, I wish they would bring more cheap wine into the country.”

When you add customs duties to the shipping costs, the price of wine more than doubles compared to its country of origin.

“That would be difficult. As you can see from the map, it’s not easy to import from overseas because the distance is quite long. It’s also difficult to store during transportation, so the price is bound to go up naturally.”

“How could there not be one wine that I can enjoy comfortably with my friends?”

“When you meet friends, drink soju. Soju is cheap.”

“Whenever we get together, we always drink soju. That means when we want to drink something else, there’s nothing to drink. But brother, can I have one of those too?”

“That’s it?”

“You know, Maehrt.”

This girl! Repaying kindness with enmity.

“Haha, you have a very sophisticated mouth. That’s a limited production, so even I can’t get it.”

“Don’t lie. You think I don’t know that your wine is maturing in oak barrels hidden in a corner of the warehouse?”

Ugh! How did you know that? I thought you wouldn’t notice because you had it hidden in a corner.

“How did you know?”

“Is the nose for decoration? I told you it smelled as soon as I entered.”

“No! How much does that drink cost? It’s a drink that we can’t sell because it’s out of stock.”

I cut off Jeongyeon and firmly rejected her.

“Heh, it’s no use. If you’re bored, Jamie and I have already reserved enough to drink together.”

“… … You!”

“I already stole it but I forgot to tell you, so I’m telling you this time.”

I blankly stared at the back of my sister’s head as she disappeared into her room, sticking her tongue out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran to the liquor storehouse, checked the inventory, and lost his mind. Half of the quantity was gone.

“How much of it is gone?”

[Almost two-thirds of my stock is gone. I have 7 cans left.]

“Oh my! My head hurts. You didn’t drink it all already, did you?”

[I think I put it somewhere else.]

Since he was away from home often, he would have had plenty of time to raid the storage room.

“What were you doing while Jeongyeon was robbing the liquor storehouse? What was the security robot doing?”

[Master, how can robots stop what your sister is doing? The security robots only serve to block outsiders from approaching.]

I know. I know that, but I get so angry when I see the wine cellar where the oak barrels containing my beloved Maehrt have disappeared.

“Ugh, if I get angry here, I’ll just be the one looking stupid.”

[you’re right.]

“Ugh, what can I do? My sister and her lover want to drink.”

When I changed my mind, I wasn’t angry anymore.

“We need to install a device here. The place where Maehrt is stored must be kept completely out of reach of others.”

It was heartbreaking to see that only five of the twelve oak barrels that had been brought in remained. I had to return to Korea to brew a new batch, but here, the ingredients made it impossible to make alcohol.

I tried hard to soothe my aching heart.

“Have you found any engine companies that are worth acquiring?”

[There is no suitable place to acquire in the US. If there is to be an acquisition, it is easier to find it in Russia.]

“I guess so. In the US, most engine companies are affiliated with large corporations.”

[Small companies don’t have special technologies.]

[Master.]

“huh?”

[Columbia is launching next week. Will you be there for the launch? Two spare satellites will be loaded into the cargo hold and launched.]

“When I saw Columbia, my heart raced with fear. One experience is enough.”

Although it was considered cutting-edge technology on Earth, it seemed pitiful that people were risking their lives for such primitive equipment.

But that doesn’t mean I can do anything about it.

“Did you install the program on the control equipment?”

[I’ve confirmed that it’s working properly. It’s a basic program, but you won’t notice it. Direct control is done from the workroom I made in the basement of the mansion. The work program that analyzes the information being sent is also working properly.]

Although from the outside it appears that the satellites are controlled from Iridium’s ground control center in New Jersey, the information the satellites send is actually received and controlled from an underground workshop in a Los Angeles mansion.

The underground workshop was also where the real information sent by Herr’s resource exploration ships, which had expanded to three, while exploring various parts of the Earth was gathered.

[According to the analysis of the magnetic material sent by the Her probe so far, 15 resource deposits have been discovered. Of these, three are economically viable resource deposits, and one oil field is located on the high seas where there will be no conflict.]

“Oh! Where is that?”

[This is an area of ​​high seas southwest of Guam.]

“How much is the reserve?”

[The reserves are approximately 2 billion barrels.]

“That’s just okay. It would be easier to find a country that can cooperate.”

[Let’s look at the South Pacific. We’ll schedule our resource exploration ships to be deployed primarily there.]

“Isn’t it true that we can only properly understand the resources on land once all satellites are launched?

[Yes. When all the necessary satellites are launched by next year, we will start searching for resources in earnest. If we find resources in Her, there are few countries that will object.]

I felt a sense of accomplishment in acquiring Herr, an American resource exploration company.

“Ready to drill the South Sea oil field?”

[We have designated the location where the exploration hole will be drilled. Including the work time, the results will be announced in the Korean press by the end of March.]

Although it is half the size of the West Sea oil field, it is more than enough to completely meet Korea’s domestic demand.

By the year after next, when production stabilizes, there will be no need to buy oil from the Middle East.

As I came out of the warehouse with a happy face, I saw Manager Brown giving instructions to the employees who were taking care of the garden outside.

It was heartwarming to see Team Leader Oh and his subordinates, who had been playing around at home, being caught by Brown and unable to move, working.

By contracting with an American security company for the exterior, the workload of the Korean security team stationed inside the mansion has been greatly reduced.

He was caught without even being able to squeak because he was caught by the sharp-eyed Butler Brown, and had to help with the gardening. Even if he tried to avoid Brown, he was still like Son Oh-gong in front of Buddha inside the mansion.

As I approached, I tried to ignore the gazes of the security team that were looking at me for help.

“I was doing some gardening. Even though the weather isn’t that cold, there’s a lot to clean up in the winter.”

“If you organize it in advance, your garden will be beautiful in the spring. I had to do it at least once for the engagement ceremony in February.”

“That’s right. Thank you, Mr. Brown.”

Brown caught me as I was saying goodbye and trying to go home.

“Mister, what should we do with the new liquor that arrived in the wine cellar?”

“Huh? The liquor that was stored in the liquor storehouse?”

It was a sound I didn’t understand.

“Isn’t there a wine cellar in the mansion? These people have taken the liquor without permission, so it’s been completely emptied.”

I hit my head on my own at the butler’s words. He was talking about the existing liquor storehouse, not the one in the warehouse I built.

“Do you have any new liquor in stock?”

“Miss Jeongyeon brought in seven oak barrels this time. That’s why I was organizing the inventory and realized that there was a lot of alcohol left.”

Team Leader Oh and the security team members, who were on edge under Butler Brown’s fierce gaze, turned a blind eye.

Oh my! How did Jeongyeon manage to drink all that alcohol?

My brother was trying to tease me.

“Is the storage very empty?”

“Most of the wine and whiskey that Jamie and I bought has disappeared. They are quite expensive liquors.”

What was more important was that my alcohol didn’t disappear anyway.

“You didn’t touch the oak barrel, did you?”

“There was a separate barrier there, so I couldn’t touch it.”

It was a good thing. If I had touched it, it would have been hell.

I called Team Leader Oh, who was looking sad.

“Oh, Team Leader, come here.”

Team Leader Oh approached me with a frown on his face, as if he thought I was going to scold him.

“Sir, this is entirely your fault. Since you’re stuck in a remote area and can’t go outside, didn’t your security team steal the alcohol and drink it?”

“So, Team Leader Oh, you didn’t eat it?”

“… … I had a whiskey that I liked, so I drank a few bottles. I had already talked to Brown about it, but the kids were drinking too much and getting excited… … .”

I don’t need to hear any more to know what he’s talking about. He was getting scolded for drinking more than he originally said he would.

“Don’t just get scolded by Butler Brown. From now on, make sure to talk before you drink.”

I did not understand the argument that the house was located in a remote area and it was difficult for the employees to go outside.

It’s not like this is a mansion on a deserted island.

“Why is that really so?”

Team Leader Oh whispered softly while looking at Butler Brown from afar.

“There are many liquors that are difficult for us to obtain. Butler Brown has a wide network of connections and knows many places that sell good liquor.”

“I will deduct the money for the stolen alcohol from your salary.”

For a moment, Munch’s The Scream appeared in my eyes.
