Episode 92 Rest
It’s really hard to stay calm in a fast-changing market. It’s hard to stay sane when your confident predictions turn out to be wrong.
That’s why there were many fund managers who did strange things.
“What about Lloyd?”
[I kept my position as is because I heard the story in advance. I made a profit of 2.5 billion dollars.]
A single word can make a situation predictable.
Goldman’s internal oil price forecast was bullish, but having the information that it could fall keeps it from being shaken by something as sudden as this.
Who would have thought that the Iraqi regime could occupy the oil fields, a key region on which its life depended, without any damage?
The US-British coalition forces advanced into southern Basra and the Iraqi capital Baghdad as if they were running through no-man’s land.
Although Iraqi forces attempted sporadic counterattacks, they did not inflict significant damage on American forces.
The oil market was in a state of panic as the war progressed too smoothly to be predicted.
Most of the oil fields continued to function properly even after the US military took over.
“Anyway, what should I do with this money now?”
I had earned so much that I felt it was a shame to just leave it alone.
[What can I do? I should buy government bonds. I can’t do anything with this. The oil market is also at a low floor.
The foreign exchange market is also closed for the time being. We will pay off all our debts and have fun for the time being.]
“Well, I earned too much.”
It was too much money at once. If it was a famous investment company with a lot of seed money, it would be like that. This time it was different.
No matter how hard they try to hide their identity through the banks, how long can this last?
The scale of the money earned in one go is so large that now everyone who needs to know knows the truth.
There were quite a few places that would fail due to this investment.
“But how much interest rate is it worth to buy government bonds…?”
[What nonsense are you talking about? You have to buy when interest rates are at rock bottom to get a cheap price. If you buy government bonds with a wad of money now, the US government, which is short on funds because of the war, will go crazy.]
Come to think of it, Ariel was right. The reason I stayed in America was to avoid troublesome things like the Korean presidential election.
“… … Should I take this opportunity to get some rest, like you said?”
[There won’t be any major issues for the time being. You just need to slowly pick up the items that are lying around. From now on, the era has come where you can make money by buying stocks, real estate, or bonds.]
“OK, let’s do as you say.”

I was searching the Internet because I had some time and wanted to go on a trip to a nearby quiet place, and Korea turned upside down.
“What is this? How do you know that the oil fund is profitable?”
The Korean newspapers were in an uproar.
– A huge hit as soon as the oil fund was launched!
– 100% return, who runs the oil fund? Midas’ hand.
– Oil fund’s crude oil futures investment success, South Korea is an oil-producing country.
[The oil fund’s returns are posted on the Internet every day. I guess someone checked the returns.]
“You announce it every day? Why?”
[This was a condition attached to the Master being permitted to operate the oil fund. It was a condition that the rate of return be publicly disclosed.]
I was so busy that I didn’t even bother to pay attention to that.
“Ugh, if you go to Korea right now, it’ll be really noisy.”
[Reporters will be incredibly annoying.]
Living with Jamie, reporters were already surrounding me. In addition to American reporters, I was worried that Korean reporters would be hiding around my house.
“Did oil fund money go into the investment capital?”
[$350 million was invested. This investment included the Master’s personal funds.]
“People would really like it. But a 100% return is too much. Isn’t that a low return?”
The oil fund has grown significantly from its initial contribution of $1.35 billion to over $3 billion. So how can it achieve a return of 100%?
I tilted my head because I didn’t know English.
[The prices of the stocks I invested in this time have also risen a lot. I invested a lot in war stocks like Boeing in advance in preparation for the war. I sold all of those stocks this time and made a profit.]
That makes sense.
It wasn’t just Korea that was in chaos.
After a long time, Jamie came back from filming. While having dinner together, Jeongyeon asked him.
“Honey, is it true that it was in the Korean newspaper?”
“What kind?”
“Don’t beat around the bush like that! You said you made a ton of money investing in oil funds?”
“Yeah. I made a lot of money.”
When I just nodded while eating, Jeongyeon raised her eyebrows.
“If there’s a huge investment like this, you have to tell me!”
My sister’s words were so absurd that I asked back.
“Me? To you?”
“Yes, to me!”
“Why me?”
“Why, if there’s any good information I have to tell my only sister, of course I should.”
Since what I was saying didn’t make any sense, I just ate.
“Brother, don’t just shut up and eat. How much did you earn this time? You didn’t just invest in oil funds, right?”
I wondered why he was like this.
“Is there a lack of investment funds for the movie? That can’t be the case, right?”
The film funding that Valentina requested was always sufficient, if not excessive.
“No, don’t worry, invest in my small business too.”
I can’t understand you when you talk with food in your mouth.
“Eat your food and then talk. I don’t understand.”
Jeongyeon, who had been chewing on my words, gulped down her food in one gulp.
“Hey, if you have such good information, please share my money with me.”
“Why, if I lose money, I won’t make a fuss like last time. You should just save money.”
Jeongyeon was the type of person who shouldn’t invest in stocks. If the stock price goes down for even just one day, chaos breaks out.
I told him about a stock last time and he got in a lot of trouble. The stock price fell as soon as I bought it and hit rock bottom for about two weeks, so he whined so much that I just paid back the investment principal and received the stock.
Half a year later, when the stock price soared, they made a fuss and demanded their money back.
Jeongyeon became serious at my words.
“No, when was that? I was in high school. It’s different now!”
“The thing is, you can’t just do stocks. You have to have a strong heart to do stocks.”
Jeongyeon’s eyes lit up at my words.
“So, why don’t you invest my money for me?”
“How much money do you have?”
“Twenty thousand dollars.”
I was so shocked that I just laughed.
“… … Just save it. No, no, just leave it to WD Investment Fund. They also have good returns. Do I really need to worry about such small funds right now?”
“No! This guy is ignoring my money as if it were small money.”
“Baby, take that money and buy some candy.”
“This is it! This human!”
If I experienced it once, why would I experience it twice?
“Darling, then what about me?”
Jamie, who had been listening to the conversation from the side, intervened.
“I heard there was a place where you could entrust your investments.”
When I first told him to leave it with me if he had any money to invest, he refused, saying he already had a place to leave it. He said it wasn’t a money transaction between lovers.
I said that because it was true. Suddenly, the words changed.
“Just keep leaving it where it was.”
“How much did you earn this time?”
“I don’t know, but I need to calculate it separately to see exactly how much I earned from this investment.”
I already finished calculating, but I didn’t want to tell you.
“Brother, stop that and tell me, how much did you earn from this investment?”
I don’t know why people are so interested in other people’s money.
Since the two of them kept nagging me to tell them, I gave them a brief explanation.
“About a trillion.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
I was so shocked that I couldn’t close my mouth for a long time.
“Did you say that in Korean Won, Oppa?”
“Am I crazy to earn that much and be done with this golden opportunity?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was silence in the restaurant for a moment, as the amount of money that had been spent was unimaginable for two people.
“A thousand, a thousand, a thousand, a hundred billion dollars!?”
“Is that true?”
While we were on the subject, I was so annoyed because I couldn’t brag about the money I earned, but I bragged about it in front of those two people.
“Wow! This is ridiculous.”
“Is that possible?”
Both of them shook their heads at my words. Food was already out of their minds.
I had no choice but to explain in detail how I invested due to the nagging of the two people.
“Whoa, so everyone thought the price would go up, but you thought it would go down?”
“Yes, the result was just as I predicted.”
“So what are you going to do next?”
“How can I live like this? I may have earned a lot of money this time, but I was originally rich.”
“That’s true. When I think about it, it’s not a big deal. No matter how much you earn, you’re still your brother.”
The two returned to their usual ways sooner than expected.
I was already a world-class tycoon. No matter how much I earned here, it wouldn’t change my current life.
Jamie also made enough money.
I’ve always said that you shouldn’t worry about celebrities.
Besides, Jamie is a famous Hollywood star.
After dinner, I lay down in bed. Jamie came in and hugged me.
He gave her a light kiss and asked.
“Is the filming going well?”
“It’s just the beginning. It’s good that there’s a filming location nearby. I can also rest at home when I have time. It’s too hard to film in a place with few permits.”
“You live in a container box or a vehicle.”
“I’ve never done that before, but some stars pay a lot of attention to their cars. They even include their cars in their contracts. They have no choice but to maintain their condition during long-term filming.”
Even if you were treated like a star, living outside wouldn’t be comfortable.
“Should I get you a good one? I heard camper vans are expensive.”
“Huh? No, you don’t have to do that. If you need it, the film company will prepare it for you.”
Even though Jamie said I didn’t need to, I was already starting to think about which car I should buy and modify.
“But I was so surprised earlier that I couldn’t come to my senses.”
“Are you surprised? You recovered quickly.”
Jamie smiled faintly at my words.
“But can I tell you this?”
“why?”
“What if I bring it up later?”
The chaos caused by property issues during divorce is the same now and in the future.
“Do you want a divorce?”
“What are you talking about? We’re not even married yet.”
Jamie hit my chest. It was a little awkward.
“Does it seem like it’s changed a little?”
“What has changed?”
“You didn’t do it like this before?”
“Jeongyeon showed me that in Korea, you have to do it like this for men to like you.”
oh my!
“What did you see?”
“Korean dramas. When I have time, I watch the Korean dramas that Jeongyeon recommended.”
For some reason, Jamie is different than before. American women are not cute.
Rather, I found it strange.
I also have an American sensibility, so I tend to get hives when I see a woman who is very charming.
When I see what Jeongyeon does to her parents, I think it’s a good thing I’m a man. Because I can’t be like my younger sister even if I die and come back to life.
