Episode 20
“Hmm, coffee tastes good today?”
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Alan Jacobs gulped down his coffee, looking out the window.
The Longfellow Bridge visible from the window was bathed in the dazzling sunlight.
Home to many of the world’s leading global companies and the Harvard MIT Institute of Technology.
Among the 50 or so states, it is ranked in the top five in name and reality.
Alan Jacobs built a company in the center of Massachusetts and was a person who had his own success and honor enough to enjoy afternoon coffee among the skyscrapers of Cambridge.
CEO of < Switch >, the world’s largest MCN company and internet broadcasting platform.
Founder of < Switter >, a social network used by people all over the world.
He was Alan Jacobs.
– President? William Ballmer, COO (Chief Operating Officer) came to visit us.
“ah. I ask you to come in.”
At the secretary’s words, Alan turned his head.
It was a regular regular meeting.
It is not an exaggeration to say that 24 hours a day is not enough, Alan’s time was very expensive, but he never missed a meeting with William.
That’s because William brought up interesting issues for his CEO, Sweeter, rather than boring stories like mergers and acquisitions—which, of course, was Alan’s idea.
If you’re a geek, it was a geek’s hobby.
“Alan? You seem to be in a good mood today. How are you feeling?”
“Thanks to. I can’t help but wonder what our Chief Operating Officer has brought up.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Well, I don’t know because the person in charge always makes a sound of pain. haha!”
At William’s words, Alan patted William on the shoulder.
It was a natural landscape.
Alan, in his mid-40s, built a company that surprised the world and led a free and open corporate culture.
It showed the aspect of pursuing the best work environment by maximizing work efficiency through horizontal relationships and communication metaverse.
As a result, many employees of SWITTER, including SWITCH, were able to enjoy the free atmosphere as it is based on the majority of home working and flexible working hours.
It goes without saying that it all came from Alan.
“thank god. Today Alan brought some startling news.”
“okay?”
“Definitely.”
William shrugged and Alan’s eyes widened in interest.
It was a bonus that I immediately sat down on the sofa and put my hands together on my stomach.
I don’t know what it is, but I don’t know, but William must have brought something interesting to talk about.
“What is it? It’s not about a new business model, right?”
“Still, our Chief Strategy Officer says he has a lot to talk about with Alan.”
“Oh my gash… that’s a terrible story.”
“Talk about that with Steve.”
After that, Alan covered his forehead with the palm of his hand, and William smiled and sat down on the sofa across from him.
In fact, what he was going to say was the main point from now on.
“Alan, do you know AC?”
“AC? Isn’t that a game?”
“You know me?”
“Everyone knows. Isn’t that the hottest trend these days? A lot of streamers from our company are also doing it. If you’re the CEO of a company, you should know that much. It actually looks like fun.”
At William’s words, Alan responded with the palm of his hand.
I couldn’t know
Until the company, which was just an artificial intelligence development company, created < Akashic Records >, which was named Hyper AI, and used it to introduce a game called AC and < Galaxy-M24 Apple > that combined full dive technology.
With the sudden appearance of AC, people around the world started paying attention to Evertail, and it didn’t take long to realize that it was an unprecedented innovation.
It was only last month that it became a monster company with a market capitalization of over 2,000 trillion and was proudly listed in the 1,000 trillion club, which is a list of companies with a market capitalization of over 1,000 trillion.
And such a global trend was being projected like a PPT in Alan’s head with a relaxed expression, and Alan recently invested a significant portion of his liquid funds in Evertail through a parent investment company under Switch.
It was an instinctive intuition.
Unlike his outward appearance, which looks like a warm-hearted old man at a chicken restaurant, wasn’t Alan a person with keen insight into the changing flow of the times?
“But what about that game? Are there any issues with the game?”
“As you can guess. You may already know.”
So William shrugged his shoulders deliberately at Alan’s words as if there was nothing special and held out the tablet PC towards him.
“AOL? Hot clip of the week? What is this?”
“Take a look, Alan. It must be something you would be interested in.”
At the same time, it was a bonus that some unfamiliar video started to flow.
“This is…”
“It looks like a new promising streamer has appeared. What do you think, Alan?”
Fuck!
And William smiled at Alan.

[I buy it right away with a lump sum. Please contact me.]
[Yes?]
[Hello. I get my pocket money the day after tomorrow, so can’t I just give you 10,000 won first?]
[I live 1.5 times more expensive than others. https://jsp.le/bQswErQ Click here to contact me.]
[What are you doing? Get off immediately.]
“…Why did you come so many times?”
Jinseong inhaled cup ramen while watching the notification text ringing at any time.
My smartphone was on the verge of exploding.
How many people have sent messages?
After fighting Park Man-du, Jin-seong obtained a huge amount of gold, and immediately after that, he logged out without looking back and wrote a post.
It was an article from Game Bank, the world’s largest game trading site.
[Selling 3 million gold. Quick cool deal. Sell cheaper than market price. Please send me a note.]
At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal, but in a game that just opened less than a month ago.
The appearance of a whopping 3 million gold in game money was quite remarkable.
“I don’t know who to choose…”
Damian narrowed his eyes as he saw numerous trade request messages.
In fact, it didn’t matter to him who he sold it to.
Considering that the current gold market price of AC is approximately 1 dollar for 100 gold, Jinseong’s post can be said to be an enormous deal worth 30 to 40 million won.
And the fact that this transaction is one of the best deals in a single transaction means that it has more value than just the amount of the transaction.
This is because the game money that Jinseong is currently trying to sell is the first ever virtual reality game and the main commodity of a game that is causing a worldwide sensation.
[Notice: The transaction has been completed!]
[Notice: Your level has been upgraded from < Normal > to a higher level!]
[Notice: The transaction amount has been transferred to your designated account!]
“Oh. honey.”
Jinseong smiled as he saw the message on his smartphone.
Indeed, it was a quick deposit like < Game Bank >.
Total sales amount 35610000 won!
Due to this one transaction, Jinseong was able to raise the rating of < Game Bank > at once, and even after deducting a certain portion of the commission, he was able to obtain a whopping 30 million won in his hands.
If it was a windfall, it was a windfall.
Even Jinseong couldn’t have thought that Park Man-du would have that much gold in his hands, and he had no way of knowing that it was on the verge of being cashed out.
“huh. mom. I am.”
– uh. son.
“I sent money to my mother’s account, check it out. Things are getting better these days, so all the bonuses are coming out. You can use it for living expenses this month… Is your father okay?”
– Whatever it is. Money where you say money….
“Ah, because I got a bonus. I’ll stop by sometime soon Take care of your health.”
So, as soon as the sales money was deposited from the game bank, Jinseong turned on the bank application and transferred the money, and at the same time called his mother.
Due to the threat (?) of the misinformation system, he had not been able to do anything for nearly two weeks, but it was his long-standing duty and mission to cover the living expenses of the family on behalf of his parents who were ill.
“I don’t know if this should be a financial technique or not.”
Jinseong turned on the virtual currency exchange app after talking to his mother.
It was because of the memory of the previous life.
Since the advent of Evertail and AC, virtual currency recorded a steep rise over the next 10 years.
After returning from his previous life, Jinseong was thinking of making money using investment items such as stocks and real estate, and he thought it would not be bad to lay an economic foundation through the trends of the times he knew.
It was an idea everyone should try at least once.
Even though he couldn’t remember the lottery numbers, the big good news that had been around for 10 years were still clearly in his memory.
“Should I just do 3 million won for now?”
Tring!
And the moment Jinseong remits money to the account he made in advance through his smartphone and buys leverage on one of the virtual currency futures option stocks he is familiar with… [Notice: Warning
! Warning!]
[Notice: The graph of the virtual currency you purchased has moved to the lower limit!]
[Notice: Your loss rate -8.42%]
[Notice: Your loss rate -12.98%]
[Notice: Your loss rate -27.63% ]
….
[Notice: Your currency has been forcibly liquidated due to a remarkably high loss rate!]
“What a f***…?!”
Jin-seong managed to stop the double desire from coming out of his mouth as he watched his virtual currency futures option be forcibly liquidated in the blink of an eye.
The virtual currency, which had been drawing a sluggish chart with the graph moving sideways until just a moment ago, rode the water slide as soon as he bought it, showing ridiculous ups and downs.
“My money is gone…? 3 million won in less than 3 seconds…?!”
And while Jinseong rubs his eyes while looking at his smartphone, the moment he looks at the ups and downs chart of virtual currency with disbelief, feeling as if his neck is being pulled hard… [Notice: Non-X Coin Futures Option
Leverage Growth Rate +1.42%]
[Notice: Non-X Coin Futures Options Leverage Growth Rate +2.98%]
…. [
Notice : Non-X Coin Futures Options Leverage Growth Rate +7.63%
]
Looking at the graph of the restored virtual currency, I felt a sense of desolation as if a giant operational force or a transcendent being were playing with me.
It was because if it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to suffer a loss like this for everything he touched.
“…Now it’s really just AC.”
Dudeuk!
Soon, Jinseong clenched his fists.
