Chapter 150
Episode 150 [ Nationwide (1) ]
The area around the pharmaceutical company, which had been idle, has been very noisy due to construction for some time now.
Dozens of story-high buildings were rising around the company, and it was very busy building roads and other infrastructure.
Fortunately, the windows and walls were well soundproofed, so I couldn’t hear much outside noise when the window was closed.
Instead, news was playing on TV.
On the TV screen, a train was seen passing on the railroad tracks.
[Construction of the railroad connecting South Korea, North Korea, and Russia has begun. This major project, carried out jointly by the three governments, was achieved through the three countries’ determination to prepare for the future even in a global crisis.] The
reporter was praising the government’s achievements in an excited voice.
[Fortunately, North Korea’s new government accepted nuclear inspection. Thanks to the lifting of economic sanctions by the United States, construction in North Korea is being carried out with funds from multinational investment companies. Some say it is unfortunate that Korean companies do not participate…]
Although the news continued, no one in the room was looking at the TV screen.
Omar was carving, and Jin Xiawei was looking out the window with her chin clenched.
It was noisy outside, but the room felt strangely quiet.
“I thought only China was going up quickly, but Korea is also going up quickly.”
Jin Xiawei muttered while looking out the window.
Even though no one was watching, the TV kept showing the next article.
[This incident, called a cataclysm, has caused enormous damage to each country. Many countries have collapsed, creating millions of refugees. The battle is still not over. Korea was lucky that there were not many monsters and did not suffer much damage.]
I moved on to the next article, but the broadcast did not change much.
Jin Xiawei snorted at the sound he heard.
‘Thanks to someone, we’re safe…’
People don’t know, but this country was able to stay safe thanks to the owner of this room who always walks around.
But even the snort lasted only for a moment. She looked blankly out the window again.
After a while, Omar’s hands stopped carving.
Omar looked at the door, and Jin Xiaowei also turned his head towards the door.
Crash.
The door opened and a man appeared. He stood in front of the door and sighed.
“Isn’t this my room? Now I feel like I’m completely suppressed.”
The person who opened the door was Kyung-hoon. He grumbled at the two people while carrying a heavy baggage.
As he said, Jin Xiawei and Omar had been using Kyunghoon’s office as a break room for some time now.
When Kyung-hoon returned with several serious wounds, Omar, who was worried, began to visit the office frequently, and Jin Xia-wei took advantage of this atmosphere and invaded him whenever he rested.
Omar seemed relieved when he saw Kyung-hoon. He put the piece in his pocket and got up.
Jin Xiawei, who had been resting her chin, also stretched.
“Hmm, I had a good rest. “I have to get off work soon.”
Gyeonghun shook his head at Jin Xiawei’s words. Who is the employee?…
I felt like I should take this opportunity to properly inform them.
“Wait. “I have something for you two.”
Kyung-hoon stopped the two people.
He placed the luggage he brought on the table.
When I opened my luggage, I found a sword inside. A sword with words drawn on both sides of the blade instead of patterns.
“Omar. It’s Samjeonggeom. You said you wanted to analyze it, right? “You can use whatever you want.”
Omar’s eyes widened.
It’s not a typical pattern, but it’s a technique that puts mana into text, or an overcharge technique that creates enormous destructive power by investing as much mana as possible. There were so many things I wanted to research.
However, since I only had one bag so far, I had no choice but to look at the outside rather than disassemble it.
“I could have gotten a few more. “You can use that however you want.”
“Where do you get something like this? “It’s really amazing.”
Next to me, Jin Xiawei suddenly spoke.
Kyung-hoon made a bitter expression at those words. Shane’s words came to mind.
“I will be able to tell you before long. “Just wait a moment.”
Jin Xiawei’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
“Wow, I didn’t expect to get an answer like this. Have I received more recognition?”
Instead of answering, Kyung-hoon handed her and Omar their visas.
“And the F-5 visa. “Now both of them are permanent residents of Korea.”
After the new regime came to Korea, it began accepting awakened immigration to support the influx of awakened people.
Jin Xiawei and Omar also took advantage of that opportunity and became official permanent residents.
“Now neither of you have to worry about fake passports.”
Both people who received the visa were happy. Although they said there was no way they would get caught because it was a completely fake passport, I couldn’t help but feel emotionally uneasy.
But Jin Xiawei soon opened her eyes and looked at Kyunghun.
“Hmm, I guess it’s not just that. “Isn’t there another reason?”
-As expected, Jin Xiawei is perceptive. I think I got caught.
Despite Eve’s whispers, Kyung-hoon took out the documents with a shameless expression.
He said, handing the documents to Jin Xiawei.
“It is one of the exclusive contract rewards. It is a 49% stake in the new corporation, including the buildings currently under construction. From now on, Jin Xiawei is the CEO of the new potion manufacturing company.”
“Wow, congratulations!”
Omar looked at the buildings outside the window and at Jin Xiaowei in turn and congratulated him.
“thank you.”
Jin Xiawei was grateful for the unaffected congratulations, but the expression she looked at Kyung Hoon was not all positive.
“51% would be EV.”
“As with capital investment, we are investors anyway. “It’s a friendly stake, so you don’t have to worry.”
-No need to worry. It’s all the owner’s money.
Jin Xiawei, who could not hear what Eve said, continued speaking.
“It’s a company that makes potions, so they appointed me as the CEO.”
“Because you are the world’s best potion maker. “If we just maintain distribution, EV will not be involved in the company’s operations.”
Although he praised her enthusiastically, Jin Xiawei just looked at Kyung Hoon with a puzzled expression.
“Isn’t this a place where you tell me not to play?”
-That’s correct.
Gyeonghun shook his head at Jin Xiawei’s words.
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t have that thought, but there was another meaning.
“Now there’s nothing stopping you from going to the front of the stage.”
No one left in the Triad knew her, and the question of nationality was resolved.
“I will be meeting with many companies in the future, so there is no reason for me to be pushed out of my position.” It
was clear that he would also run into SG Group’s vice president again.
Kyung-hoon had no intention of letting Jin Xiawei be pushed aside at an official event.
Jin Xia thought for a moment . Wei nodded.
“You’re right. I’ll also be meeting with SG Electronics CEO Yoon Hye-rin. I can’t be pushed away.”
Those words were completely different from what Kyung-hoon had thought. Kyung-hoon blinked. -Ho
-oh. It’s going to be fun in the future, right?
Yves’ voice full of anticipation was heard in Kyung-hoon’s ears.
***
In addition to Jin Xia-wei and Omar, there were others who received gifts. It was in
the executive conference room of SG Electronics.
CEO Dr. Hye-rin and executives were gathered in the conference room.
In front, the head of the General Technology Center was giving a briefing, and a video of an electric car driving around a track was playing on the screen.
“With Baeksan Motors . “This is the prototype of the Mana Stone electric vehicle we developed.”
The eyes of the executives watching the presentation sparkled as the Director of the Technology Center said,
“The lowest grade Mana Stone can be driven for 100,000 km. Assuming that an ordinary commuter car travels 20,000 km a year, it will not need to be replaced for 5 years. .The price of the vehicle is also cheaper than that of a regular diesel car.”
As soon as the director of the technical center finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands.
“
Thank you. It’s all thanks to the efforts of everyone in the development department.”
The director of the technology center also bowed his head with a bright face.
“I think we can completely dominate the market with this price and performance.”
Everyone nodded at what an executive said. Everyone had happy faces.
After the cataclysm, the price of oil exceeded $300 per barrel.
Electric vehicles, which were considered as a replacement, also became unprofitable due to the rise in the price of battery materials.
In this situation, Mana Seok Electric There was no way that a company that could deal with automobiles existed.
Although it cooperated with Baeksan Motors, it was clear that SG Electronics would be able to stand tall in the world with just the Mana Stone electric car.
However, the expression on CEO Dr. Hye-rin’s expression did not change much. She asked with a calm face,
“Has the small mana stone generator installed in the car been completed?”
To her question, the head of the technical center answered with a confident expression,
“We have completed all of your tests. We used Natas’ large generator as a reference, but now SG Electronics also has the mana stone power generation technology.”
Hyerin laughed inwardly at the words of the head of the technology center.
Anyway, the original technology itself came from EV. The developers at Natas and SG Electronics did not yet understand the material or composition method of the pattern.
People said that Dr. Hyerin held the secret. Although he was thinking about it, the person concerned could only sigh.
CEO Hyerin spoke again.
“That generator can be used in other places, right?”
“Yes, we developed it for electric vehicles, but it is not difficult to modify it for use on ships or other applications.”
The head of the technology center responded with an even more triumphant expression to the representative’s words.
Hyerin nodded.
“Thank you for your hard work. Then, let’s sell the small mana stone generator first.”
The executives looked at each other with perplexed expressions.
One of the directors cautiously opened his mouth:
“How about delaying the sale of generators a little? If other companies copy them or just buy generators and install them, the cars we developed will suffer… .”
Hyerin looked at the director of the technology center.
“Is cloning possible?”
The director of the technical center looked depressed at Hyerin’s words. He couldn’t analyze the pattern properly, so replicating it…
“It’s impossible.”
“Then there’s no problem with that, and there’s no problem with buying a generator and installing it on your product because it increases generator sales, right?”
The executives shook their heads at her words.
If she did as she said, they could sell a lot of small mana stone generators, but it was clear that it would be difficult to dominate the automobile market.
This was the only way to throw away the fruit of monopoly. As
expected, the scientist Is it because they are from the same background? It was a time when such thoughts were passing through the minds of executives.
Hyerin spoke again.
“A monopoly is impossible anyway. We are talking in a safe place like this, but now the whole world is at war.”
Hearing Hyerin’s next words, his expression hardened. It was just as she said.
Many countries have collapsed and many refugees have been created due to the current situation, which is called a cataclysm. It was impossible to find a country where the military was not fighting. Especially at the beginning
. China, which had been shoveled, was pushed back to the vicinity of Beijing.
Fortunately, developed countries were maintaining society as usual, but even that was a close call. It was unclear when the situation would change to a wartime situation.
“Proceed with this matter as I say. It is now more than that.” “I have something important to do.”
People were confused. It was more important than such a big announcement.
Hyerin connected the screen to her laptop.
A 3D model appeared on the screen. It was a blueprint of an elaborate machine made with 3D CAD.
Inside the complex machine was a place for a mana stone. It was visible and had intricate patterns drawn on the inside and outside.
“A mana stone-based space movement machine. Commonly known as a portal. The research team should begin producing and researching samples based on this blueprint.”
People who looked puzzled at first soon looked at Hyerin with shocked faces.
“Nonsense. “Was that possible?”
“Did you make this by yourself?”
“oh my god. “If this is made, won’t the current material crisis be solved?”
In an instant, the conference room turned into a mess. Hyerin pounded the table.
“As everyone knows, this is top secret. “If it leaks, you will be held accountable.”
Everyone nodded. Everyone knew what a big secret this was.
Meanwhile, an executive muttered softly.
“Couldn’t they be imprisoning aliens in the CEO’s house?”
She whispered softly, but as an awakened person, she heard clearly.
She thought the same thing. EV: Where does Kyung-hoon get something like this?
When the conference room was in disarray for a while, there was suddenly a knock on the conference room door from outside.
As Hyerin turned off her laptop, the secretary hurriedly came inside.
“What happened?”
“I want you to watch the news!”
Hyerin gave instructions to the gasping secretary.
News played on the screen.
Red letters filled the screen. The announcer’s urgent voice was heard.
[This is a special report! 10 minutes ago, the Chinese government launched a nuclear missile at the monsters advancing toward Beijing!]
Weeeeeee!
The siren started blaring.
