The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate - The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate chapter 207

207. Hardest step.

The president has a special meaning in any country.

Much less so in small countries in Asia and Europe, the president of the United States.

Took-

Bush put down the knife he was holding on the table and looked at Hoyeong.

To him, the meaning of being the president of the United States was even greater.

Now, Democrat Bill Clinton is in power, but his father, George Howard Bush, was president until the previous term, and it was also Bush’s lifelong goal.

Bush’s eyebrows, which had been looking at Hoyoung with eyes full of goodwill until now, slightly curved in a reversed fashion.

‘You talk about the president of the United States. Was he this cocky?’

Bush was someone who fully knew what a great person Ho-yeong was.

Aside from solidifying his support base with the enormous amount of money he receives from Ho-young every quarter, he also investigated Ho-young’s background using all the networks he could before accepting Ho-young’s offer.

At that time, Bush’s conclusion about Ho-young was ‘a clean person who has excellent abilities and personal connections, has a smart mind, and has no problems in her personal life.’ was

However, it had nothing to do with Asians, especially foreigners who were not Americans, talking about the US president.

He thought that if he were the closest person to a president in the United States right now, he would be himself.

And he had no doubt that he would become president without anyone’s help.

However, there was no decisive opportunity, so there was no choice but to wait for the right moment while building strength.

“The president, haha. I am still not enough to challenge for the presidential election.”

Bush struggled to change his expression and uttered appropriate words of humility.

Before Hoyoung told her what she was thinking, she also intended to hide her true feelings.

However, as if Hoyoung understood that feeling, he smiled deeply when he heard the story.

“You can be a little more honest with me. I have no doubt that one day he will become president on his own, but don’t you think there is no decisive opportunity?”

“…!”

Bush couldn’t hide his surprised expression at Hoyoung’s words.

Then, unconsciously, I looked around and looked around.

‘Wiretapping···. Is it wiretapping?’

For a moment, he wondered if Hoyeong was eavesdropping on him.

Not only in this space, but also in your office or home.

“Take it easy. I never did anything like eavesdropping.”

“haha···.”

Bush laughed out loud at the thought that Ho-young had completely revealed his true feelings.

He even thought that Hoyeong had completely entered and exited his mind.

“If my words surprised you, I sincerely apologize.”

Hoyeong bowed her head deeply and continued.

“But I say this because I want our conversation to get right to the heart of it, and not go round and round. Most importantly, I am on the same side as the Governor.”

“Same side…?”

Hoyoung met Bush’s eyes and nodded deeply.

“If I hadn’t been willing to align with the governor, I wouldn’t have said it so directly.”

Hoyoung had the illusion that he could hear Bush shaking his head.

They are deciding what action to take based on Hoyoung’s actions and words.

A very brief silence passed.

Hoyeong and Bush started confrontation without saying anything.

Not a word was spoken between the two until the waiter took away the plates from which they had finished their meal and served coffee for dessert.

‘Isn’t this going wrong?’

Only Smith, who was sitting quietly next to him, looked at the situation with anxious eyes.

Smith already knew what Ho-young was going to talk about with Bush today.

To sum it up, it was a very simple message: ‘I’ll help you become president, so do a few favors of mine.’

‘But I never thought I’d say it so directly.’

For a moment, Smith even thought that Ho-yeong was a Korean and could not understand the emotions of Americans.

He thought that if, by any chance, Bush took Ho-young’s words as an insult, the relationship could turn sour to such an extent that all the donations he had received so far would go blank.

“Hmm…”

At that time, the silence was finally broken by Bush’s quiet voice.

Hoyoung naturally drank the coffee.

“The way… Are you there?”

Hoyeong smiled at Bush’s words, and Smith let out a sigh of relief.

“If there was no way, I wouldn’t have said it in the first place.”

“Can I hear you?”

“It’s a little too much to tell you about the details here.”

At Hoyoung’s words, Bush looked around and answered.

“I’m sure it is.”

“But I can tell you the core slogan.”

Hoyeong smiled and continued.

“One America. And great America.”

.

Hoyoung and Smith promised to meet with Bush next time in a more private space, not in a restaurant, and left the restaurant.

In the car on the way back to Hoyoung’s hotel, Smith asked Hoyoung with a questioning expression.

“boss. Can I ask you a few questions?”

“sure.”

“What do you mean by your last words?”

“One America, Great America?”

Smith nodded.

“Governor Bush nodded his head with an expression of great realization after hearing that, but in fact, I didn’t understand it at once, perhaps because of my lack of knowledge.”

“It’s not because Smith is lacking, it’s because most people can’t understand unless they’re sensitive to American politics.”

Smith’s expression was that he didn’t know yet.

“Is Smith a well-educated white male?”

“Yes… Joe?”

“That’s why you may have lived without feeling it. Modern America is, of course, not, but it is a country with racial disparities.”

“Ah, that’s…”

Smith wanted to say no, but couldn’t find the words to refute easily.

“I have no intention of criticizing the system or people in the country right now. The important thing here is that, in the end, all American citizens, whether black, Hispanic, or Asian, have one equal vote.”

“ah···!”

Smith finally realized what Hoyeong wanted to say.

Currently, the proportion of non-white minorities in the United States has been explosively increasing.

Until the 1970s, the percentage of the white population, which was close to 90%, gradually decreased, and now whites are about 75%, and the percentage of Hispanics, blacks, and Asians other than that is close to 25%.

“And the important thing is that the US presidential election method is not direct voting, but the Electoral College method.”

“It would be especially advantageous for the electoral college in Miami or Louisiana, where there are many black or Hispanic populations.”

“Exactly.”

Despite Hoyoung’s answer, Smith didn’t seem to have a clear solution yet.

“By the way, isn’t it obvious that if you maintain policies for minorities, you will get a backlash from white people? No matter how many minorities have become, white people still make up the majority of America.”

“That’s why we make Great America together as our slogan.”

“May I ask for an explanation?”

This time, Smith couldn’t easily figure out what Hoyeong was saying.

Hoyoung sighed and continued to explain.

“Who is the group that pays most of the taxes in the United States right now? It must be someone like Smith. white high school students. Even though Smith makes a lot of money, isn’t he paying a huge amount in taxes?”

“That’s right. I take away the money that is close to 60% of my salary as taxes. Not even a robber…”

“haha. Perhaps white people in other high-paying jobs feel the same way as Smith?”

“Is that right?”

“It is the slogan of Great America that directs the arrow abroad, not to the American government.”

“this! okay!”

Smith now looks like he’s been beaten.

“Currently, the United States is spending an astronomical amount of money on illegal immigration and acting as the world police.”

“you’re right. I feel sorry for the personal circumstances of illegal immigrants, but I can’t help but feel bitter when I think of the taxes and welfare benefits that go into them.”

“Whoops. That is something that humans cannot help. That’s what the President’s promise says. If I can’t reduce the tax, I’d rather use it for America.”

Smith involuntarily nodded.

It was a natural reaction as an American voter.

“Would this be enough of an answer?”

“yes. Honestly, if this promise can be kept normally, I really want to elect him as president.”

“Even if it doesn’t, you should pray for it to happen.”

“Of course.”

At Hoyoung’s joke, Smith laughed and looked at Hoyeong again.

‘It’s great too. It’s really classic, but it captured Bush’s heart in a way no one thought possible.’

Smith felt that meeting Hoyeong once again was luck.

Brilliant-

Just then, Hoyoung’s cell phone rang.

Hoyoung looked at the phone and smiled meaningfully, but did not answer it right away.

“Are you not answering the phone?”

“yes. Burn a little more soy sauce.”

“Who’s calling…”

“Governor Bush.”

“How do you know?”

At that time, caller ID service was not yet implemented in mobile phones.

It was strange for Smith to say that Hoyoung was the governor of Bush.

Hoyoung smiled and said.

“I have a lot of cell phones. This cell phone number was only given to him.”

“ah!”

Ho-young glanced at Smith, who was dumbfounded but surprised, smiled once more, and answered the phone.

“Hello. Governor! Have you already called? Aha···. Are you talking about the day after tomorrow? good. Until then, I have no plans to return to Korea. Okay. If you have a detailed plan before then, please contact us once more. Yep. thank you.”

Hoyoung’s phone call was simple.

“Smith, I think Governor Bush is impatient. You say see you the day after tomorrow? Do you have a schedule for that time?”

“Even if there is, I have to take it out.”

“haha. good. Then, until you contact me again, I will take a break at the hotel.”

“All right. boss.”

After a while.

The car dropped off Hoyeong at the hotel where he was staying, and Hoyeong briefly greeted Smith and then went up to his room.

Then, familiarly, he turned on his laptop and started coding the program he was making.

Although he pretended not to be indifferent, the conversation with Governor Bush was also very exhausting for him.

That’s why as soon as I entered the hotel room, I was able to get my mind together by coding on purpose.

How many hours have you been stuck in front of a computer?

Feeling that he had done enough, Hoyoung stretched out and lay down on the bed.

“Day after tomorrow. If the meeting with Governor Bush is successful, the hardest part of this plan will be over.”

Hoyeong said to herself as if she had promised herself, then fell asleep without washing.
