Coin Jackpot After Divorce

Corona Vaccine

When Lee Jong-yeop arrived, sugar-coated ham, egg toast, and Americano were prepared in the morning.

“Have some toast and coffee.”

Ironed T-shirts and jeans hung on hangers.

“I will eat well. thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Next to the table, there were printed articles that would be good to see.

It must be because I thought it would be difficult to find articles individually.

〈New York Stock Exchange Stops Trading for 15 Minutes, Investors Panic〉

〈Corona spread, oil price crash〉

〈The US stock market could fall by another 20-30%〉

〈Circuit breaker triggered by 7% decline in New York stock market〉

〈Corona Shock, U.S. Stock Market, International Oil Prices, and U.S. Dollar Crashes〉

〈30% drop in oil prices, the worst day comparable to the FT financial crisis〉

If you look at the stock market over the next few days, it has been a series of turmoil.

‘Corona is very serious.’

Steady decline even after liquidating the put option.

Even if the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates and the US government loosened its finances, it had only a short-term effect.

Financial institutions have lowered their forecasts for economic growth this year, while investors fear a recession and the sell-off has not subsided.

‘It’s a pandemic… … .’

The word, which was thought of as vague fear, is sweeping the world.

‘If I bought the put option I liquidated again, it would have been a jackpot.’

I regret the past, but the investment decision is not easy.

After a cataclysmic crash, government intervention in the market caused a surge the next day.

Typical roller coaster ride.

Investors lost most of their money because stock prices were generally declining amid fears of an economic crisis.

‘It still tastes good.’

The toast sprinkled with sugar was just for my taste.

When I was young, I lived in poverty, so I couldn’t eat to my heart’s content. I had a strange fantasy about street food.

Just looking at hot dogs, hamburgers, and toast made me salivate without even realizing it, and it became an imprint of delicious food.

Even when I went to Arkor, I couldn’t pass by when I saw toast while touring hospitals.

Perhaps Lee Jong-yeop prepared simple toast for breakfast because of that memory, I thought.

“Jongyeop.”

“Yes. older brother.”

“Do you want to work for Earth Resources?”

“I do not know.”

Since I brought Lee Jong-yeop all the way to the United States, I was thinking of entrusting him with the job he wanted.

“Honestly, I also want to work for Earth Resources. I am interested in many things, but it is not something I am good at.”

We traveled together for 2 years.

Even without a separate interview, I was well aware of Lee Jong-yeop’s characteristics.

“therefore?”

“For the time being, I want to play the role of my brother’s assistant. I want to learn while taking care of my older brother’s errands and troublesome things that require time.”

An executive assistant accompanied by politicians and executives of large corporations.

You have to work 24 hours a day, doing all kinds of dirty work and following business trips.

‘but. He was a guy with such an evil spirit.’

Lee Jong-yeop worked tirelessly at Arcor.

It was after he had adjusted to his work and achieved more than 120% of his share.

A personality that never misses a task and hates being indebted to someone.

‘This guy wouldn’t have easily said he wanted to come to America.’

Recruiting subordinates from the Arcor days wasn’t too difficult.

So it was a simple decision, but Lee Jong-yeop risked his life to come to the United States.

“okay. do it.”

“Yes. older brother.”

massive expansion.

It was a word that appeared when looking at the corporate activities of Earth Resources.

First of all, Oh Myung-woo had a huge accident.

“I picked about 30 game companies in total.”

“That much?”

“yes. It’s not going to exceed $500 million. However, there were many companies that wanted partnerships with less than 10% stake.”

“Not bad from our point of view.”

Games can play an important role in the Sourcecoin ecosystem.

I was thinking of acquiring game companies, paying source coins, helping with publicity, and even supporting development costs if necessary.

I trusted Oh Myung-woo in this field.

‘There wasn’t a game that this guy called ‘God Game’ that wasn’t popular in college.’

Games, like movies and dramas, were difficult to invest in.

Every year, developers say that they have the energy of a masterpiece and spend hundreds of billions of dollars in publicity and fail.

A shooting game that hit the jackpot of trillions of won.

The development team of this game was only about 20 people, and it was a box office success after it came out on the market.

That’s why I believed Oh Myung-woo, who approached only from the fun side.

“The reason for the large number of companies is that many of them are indie developers.”

“You always liked indie games.”

“As for the game itself, there are many great indie games.”

Both Oh Myung-woo and Nana were busy with work.

He established an investment division within Earth Resources, and entrusted them with acquiring shares or contracts with game companies.

‘The axis of the game has been created.’

And the shopping mall division was reorganizing, doubling its staff.

I thought there was an overtime culture only in Korea, but overtime was frequent in Silicon Valley as well.

Working more than 70 hours a week, giving notice of termination at any time, etc.

As much as the salary was paid, I made or ate that much performance.

“We will completely reorganize and start the service within a week.”

“really?”

As the head of the company, I was surprised by the plans of the shopping mall division.

It was not only the homepage reorganization, but also the creation of a registration and management system for numerous vendors.

“yes. There are a lot of companies and customers who are interested in the shopping mall business. So we have to develop quickly.”

“yes.”

The shopping mall decided not to proceed with its own promotions and discount events.

Judging that Source Coin will be popular enough to pay 5%.

The average margin for shopping malls was around 20%.

If you don’t sell groceries that are difficult to deliver and manage, your margins will increase.

If you didn’t do publicity and discounts, you could make a profit from the start of the business.

“Allison, our company is in Silicon Valley, but we are getting a lot of attention in Korea.”

“Yes. We know that most of the mining is in Korea.”

“So the shopping mall business needs to be competitive in Korea as well.”

In the shopping mall, purchasing and delivery were a problem. It was necessary to create a system that took into account convenient delivery to Korea.

That’s why they pushed ahead with the establishment of a Korean branch.

In Korea, there were large shopping malls such as 11th Street and Coupang, and department stores and large marts, the existing shopping powerhouses, were pouring their energy into online businesses.

A lot of shopping mall companies were in the red, and it was a red ocean where it was difficult to make a profit.

That’s why we decided to focus our business on electronic products that are easy to manage and stock.

Mining, cloud, shopping mall, gaming.

It started as a single start-up, but each business unit grew rapidly.

Mining records 1.3 million, with the limit increasing every time a transaction is made with a company.

‘There is no loss even if I apply to Bio Life now.’

I made a lot of money on my investments, but it felt good to record profits in the mining sector, in the company’s management program.

Investing and making money from business feel a little different.

Spent 425,000 Source Coins.

Revenues earned through businesses are approximately $600,000. It earned over $170,000 per hour.

Gaming was only part of the expansion strategy, but cloud and shopping malls were entering markets worth tens of billions of dollars each year.

‘To grow the company. Is this the fun of business?’

Among Silicon Valley companies, Earth Resources recorded the highest growth rate.

Paul Lesser.

Dark fatigue hung over the face of the Johns Hopkins University professor.

Life at Biolife reminded me of my medical school days.

“There are two ways to develop a corona vaccine that we can develop?”

“yes. As far as I’ve confirmed the possibility so far, yes.”

Dr. Lee Ho-yeon and his research team have made progress in developing a vaccine with little to no sleep.

Accommodations built according to the number of researchers in future construction.

In fact, I devoted myself to research to the extent that only about one-tenth of it was used.

“First, there is the mRNA method.”

Dr. Lee Ho-yeon said with a haggard face.

An innovative method that has been actively researched for several years in the medical world.

It was a method of encoding viral genes and injecting them into cells.

“RNA with information that can be converted into protein. mRNA plays the role of the blueprint. Rapid development is possible through viral gene cloning, but the problem is that advanced technology is required for development and production in order to transfer mRNA to the human body. Side effects are also a concern.”

“Side Effect?”

“There are no antigens in the vaccine. When a vaccine is injected, it is a way to create an antigen of the corona virus in the human body through gene expression.”

Cells inside the human body are transformed by vaccines and become antigens.

It is not known which part of the cell it will be, and there is a possibility that the heart muscle is affected.

Serious side effects, such as myocarditis or autoimmune reactions, are rare.

Professor Paul read mRNA as a thesis, but the idea itself that he actually thought of applying this method to vaccines was surprising.

“Vaccine production will be difficult.”

“yes. I’m going to struggle from making it. There will be comments about side effects one after another. Still, other big pharmaceutical companies seem to be putting mRNA vaccines into practice. Because it can be developed quickly by genetic analysis.”

Everyone said it would take more than eight years to develop a vaccine.

However, large pharmaceutical companies were doing everything they could to shorten the period.

“The other one?”

“It’s a protein recombination method that has been used for decades.”

In order to improve the body’s immunity, the spike protein of the virus is injected into the body.

Previously used hepatitis vaccine, influenza vaccine, etc.

The method of making vaccines was the most stable because it was old.

“Surin was very helpful in analyzing the protein structure. Now, in five days, you’ll be able to do it.”

“If it were really possible, the medical world would be amazed.”

As the corona spread widely, huge funds were being poured out in the United States and Europe to support vaccines and treatments.

It is said that it plans to invest 1 billion dollars in the United States alone, and Japan, Canada, and Germany also support 200 million to 400 million dollars.

In the case of Korea, which lags behind in new drug development, it recently announced its intention to support 6 billion won.

Several existing pharmaceutical companies had to share it, and there were subsidiaries of large companies, so Biolife did not apply at all.

The medical community is sure to be astonished if such achievements are made without receiving such subsidies.

Dr. Lee Ho-yeon had a dark expression for a person who had done great things.

“I am just worried.”

“worry?”

“I made a vaccine, but what if side effects come out in clinical trials?”

What if a vaccine is developed at great cost and put into clinical trials, but in the end it fails.

His dream and life to fight influenza and corona virus became meaningless.

Paul fully understood Lee Ho-yeon’s concerns.

“That would be very difficult. But it’s about saving people’s lives. Even if there is a risk of failure, you have to take on the challenge.”

If there is even the slightest hope for a person who might die, it is a doctor who operates.

Even if the patient lost his life, he had to go to another operating room after a while.
