The Legend of Return
Chapter 271. The value of the Mana Stone (2)
“Ah… I’m pissed off.”
Jeon Joo-hee, the eldest daughter of the current chairman of the Yeondae Group, drank wine nonstop.
The glass was emptied in one shot with no dignity.
“What’s wrong with you sister? Why are you in such a hurry today?”
Lim Ah-hyun, the second daughter of the Ohjung Group, asked.
I rented a whole luxury wine bar in Gangnam.
A meeting of the daughters of a group called Nero once a month.
Most of the members were second-generation female executives who stepped back after handing down important management rights to their sons.
Among them, the core is Jeon Joo-hee of Yeondae and Lim Ah-hyun of Oh-jung, who are drinking now.
“Joo-hee unnie, I got the pill today~.”
Go Seon-kyung of Elza Group with a smile.
Among them, Jeon Joo-hee, who is 37 this year, was the eldest.
After that, Lim Ah-hyeon of Oh Jeong and Go Seon-gyeong of Elza followed.
Although there is a few years difference in age, they often get together.
“Ah-oh! Thinking of what happened to that parasitic bastard like Obari… I haven’t been able to sleep without alcohol for several days now.”
“What’s wrong with you sister?”
Lim Ah-hyun pretended to be friendly and tilted her wine glass.
Contrary to what he said, his ears perked up.
It was not easy to hear the stories going on in a place like this.
Moreover, it is a story in which the eldest daughter of the solidarity group is unable to reduce her anger.
“As you all know, the group is currently preparing an art museum to return to cultural projects.”
After drinking a few drinks, Jeon Joo-hee opened her mouth with a red-hot face.
“It’s a business your sister cares about.”
Lim Ah-hyun remembered what she had heard a few months ago.
It was a business created to reconsider the image that fell behind at noon.
In the upper class, Yantai specialized only in heavy industry or automobile construction, listening to ignorant families far from cultural life.
I couldn’t really ignore the family customs.
Hearing that, Lim Ah-hyun laughed.
No matter how hard he struggled, no one in Korea could follow Oh Jeong’s art and antiques that he had accumulated since his grandfather’s time.
There were many things in the secret storage that were more valuable than the National Museum.
In the past, descendants took it and sold it for a few pennies.
There was no way that the relics left by our ancestors would be treated as precious when we were starving right away.
“okay. i did care How much effort did you put into calling Mrs. Hong In-dae, who doesn’t understand the language, as your aunt?”
“Puff. really? Hong In-dae, did you call that old woman your aunt?”
Go Seon-kyung of Elza Group burst into laughter and asked.
The Elsa group was more strict with the women in the house than with the regiment.
Jeon Joo-hee had the title of CEO even though it was a small company, but Go Seon-gyeong had no position.
I just lived on the pocket money given to me by the house.
So I was free from their conversations.
“That old lady who grew up strong! I heard you went to massage together for a month… but you betrayed me!”
“What betrayal?”
“You know, Aurora Gallery. I decided to take over it for 100 billion, but someone like a swallow took it!”
“Aurora? Aren’t there a lot of good pictures there?”
After graduating from Parsons School, Lim Ah-hyun was interested in painting.
He was also greedy for the art gallery run by his mother.
It will be inherited someday, but even now I was in an invisible inheritance war with Lim Jun-hyung.
“It came out cheap with 100 billion won~ But did you miss it? What kind of swallow are you? If unnie says that, you must be really good-looking.”
Go Seon-gyeong asked with a curious smile.
I wasn’t interested in painting either.
I saw the line a while ago.
It was decided to marry the son of the middle-aged group that his parents decided.
Go Seon-gyeong, who was bored with her daily life, showed curiosity.
All the women in the group have high eyes, but Jeon Joo-hee was the only one who used the word swallow.
“Don’t talk. Idol these days? They couldn’t even hold out their business cards.”
“really? How much?”
Lim Ah-hyun also showed interest.
“Didn’t you say everything you wanted to say about Hong In-dae’s old lady smelling like a woman?”
“What are you guys doing? How old are you? Unnie, if you want to go to such a nice place, you have to go together.”
“Oh, Seongyeong-ah. You said you’re going to get married soon~ You can’t use it then!”
“Hehe. I know how well the unnies played before they got married, right?”
“That was the past~”
“Sunkyung-ah. Just get married with care. If you feel unfair later, straighten it out then.”
Jeon Joo-hee and Lim Ah-hyun spared no advice (?).
The status of being a child of a group had to live like a semi-celebrity in reality.
Because I couldn’t even dream of a normal daily life, deviations sometimes occurred.
“I am twenty years old.”
“What are you twenty years old?”
Go Seon-kyung was surprised.
“A 20-year-old bought a gallery? Where are you from?”
“I am the grandson of former chairman Dongryong. He made a fortune with stocks and gifts and gave his mother the Gallery and Jungyong University as a gift…… How can’t you kill it? I thought that was a lie too, but it turned out to be true. Oh my goodness… if I were 10 years younger, what would I do with this beauty and intelligence!”
“ah!”
At that time, Lim Ah-hyun made a surprised expression.
She usually doesn’t show her facial expressions well, but today was different.
“Isn’t the man’s name Jang Tae-san, a law student at Korea University?”
“uh? Do you know that swallow?”
“……”
Lim Ah-hyun kept her mouth shut at Jeon Joo-hee’s question.
“what? Are you a law student at Korea University? But did you make that much money? Isn’t it true that you’re handsome?”
Go Seon-kyung received a copy.
‘As long as Ahyeon unnie knows…’
Lim Ahyeon, who is arrogant, was nervous the moment the name Jang Taesan was mentioned.
There was something about the solidarity group’s daughter and the ojeong group’s new chimdaegi.
“Sunkyung. Do you know how tasty that child is? What’s the point, you’re making money in front of us! Whose dog’s name is 150 billion? And what is Jungyong University? Ah-oh! get hot! What the hell is my husband doing!”
Joo-hee Jeon gulps down her wine again.
The solidarity group daughter had no further action.
“…..Don’t mess with the young people. I know a little bit, but he is a dangerous guy.”
Lim Ah-hyun also pretended to be indifferent and gave advice.
‘Dangerous guy? Are you curious?’
Go Seon-kyung was having a hard time before getting married.
Suddenly, I thought of my youngest brother, who was late.
This year’s nineteen-year-old pretty little boy has grown up before he knew it.
The maknae whined that she had never been able to get a boyfriend because the surveillance on late children was strict.
He entered school early and was currently attending Korea University.
Jebi is also a law student at Korea University.
Suddenly, an intriguing thought flashed through Go Seon-kyung’s head.

“Chairman! Where did you get such a treasure? Can’t you get more? Can I break this up a little and analyze the ingredients?”
Chairman Ha Kwan-woo called me early in the morning and came to Seoul.
The wild boar was slaughtered and placed in a subspace.
Only the meat, such as delicious ribs and pork belly, was selected separately.
The subspace, which did not accept the polluted goods of the earth, allowed the wild boar.
And I met Chairman Ha Gwan-woo.
His face was red with excitement.
“Is this a test report?”
I looked at the thick report in my hand.
“Chairman… This is a revolution! The battery problem, which is the core of electric vehicles that will lead the future, as the chairman said, will be solved at once. As you can see, storage up to 1 megawatt has been confirmed. The amount of discharge that leaks out as light is also extremely insignificant. The output is also said to be almost the same as the injection amount. President… This is… the feeling of winning the Nobel Prize!”
Chairman Ha Kwan-woo spat.
Chairman Ha, who has been good at selling things since his Daewoong days, recognized the value of the magic stone.
I didn’t know it would be like this either.
I skimmed the report.
As President Ha Kwan-woo said, it was an amazing research result.
The charging speed was incomparably faster than anything else.
Capacity stopped at 1 megawatt.
The research institute staff expressed their view that they would like to proceed with permission beyond that.
The researcher also seemed afraid of what would happen next.
“I don’t know if you know, but lithium batteries, emerging as a core material for electric batteries, have a dual structure. Compared to general batteries, it has more than twice the voltage and excellent voltage flatness. It has one of the highest compatible energy densities ever discovered. It can work in extreme cold and room temperature. It can also be recharged, so the battery developed for military use has a very wide business area, such as laptops and mobile phones.”
“I know.”
“Such a lithium battery is being treated like a stone. Now we’re building electric vehicles with just 40 kilowatts of battery storage. By the way, this guy is now in the 1000 kilowatt class! I hear you shot 1 mega!”
Chairman Ha Kwan-woo, who was calm, could not hide his excitement.
“It is called the Mana Stone.”
“Ah yes. The magic stone goes beyond the battery level. It is said that the voltage stability is also very high in charging and discharging. Not to mention the charging speed… If you sell this, you can conquer the world in no time! Not only the electric vehicle market, but also large-capacity electricity storage facilities are realistically possible. If we can store and sell the surplus electricity…”
Chairman Ha Gwan-woo was excited and deserved a call from early in the morning.
It was clear to anyone that it was a great thing.
It’s not garbage that I can wash and use for body care and then throw it away.
The problem is that I don’t have many mana stones either.
If electricity can be converted through a mana stone, it would be a truly amazing event.
Whenever he ran out of energy, he could recharge and use the mana stone.
“It must have been a secret study, right?”
“of course. Only the Q Cells researcher and president, and me and the president know.”
“If the secret leaks out… your life could be in danger.”
“……”
It wasn’t a joke.
One discovery could change the paradigm of electric vehicles and battery storage devices.
I couldn’t question my conscience in the face of a situation that could change the fate of a country.
It was of great military utility.
There was no law saying that electric fighters should not come out when the ability of electric propulsion submarines became as possible as nuclear submarines and the capacity increased further.
The United States, which treats military power as a top priority, will also be coveted.
Commercially, no words were needed.
It was enough not only to dominate the electric battery market, but also to replace the electric storage device called ESS.
Electricity that must be consumed simultaneously with production.
If the electricity obtained through solar power generation in the desert could be stored and transported, conquering the world would be no problem.
What kind of power company will survive when they hit cheap prices?
However, it called a crisis in the opposite direction.
It was a dream material that did not exist on earth.
So, a secret study was conducted.
“Chairman Ha.”
“yes! President!”
“I will allow you to grind the mana stone.”
“Am I really?!”
“Research results must be kept strictly confidential. I will only allow it in a special laboratory being set up on my home soil.”
“I will replenish the equipment for research experiments.”
I understood the meaning of the words right away.
It was still a secret to the state.
There were some politicians who split mountains and rivers and sold national wealth if it was money.
Especially at this time, I couldn’t believe the rats who were in control of the government.
The same cannot be trusted with the chicken president who is controlled by the regime that follows him.
It had to be thoroughly concealed until the people woke up.
They are the remnants of the pro-Japanese and dictators who ate and sold them among themselves.
It had to be thoroughly hidden for the next nine years.
I had a lot of time.
There were no plans to study in the United States.
Robert could be trusted, but the others were not Robert.
The human mind, driven for the good of one’s country, was out of control.
“How is the business I directed going?”
“We are in the process of securing a patent. But it’s not as easy as you think.”
“Vertical integration is absolutely necessary. I heard that solar power generation is completed with a set of polysilicon ingot wafer cell modules. The most important of these is solar cell technology.”
I didn’t want to be immersed in floating futures and stocks in a virtual world.
We are slowly preparing food for the future.
As the Chinese market grows in the future, their actions are beyond imagination.
Not only does it copy other countries’ technologies, but it also thoroughly blocks and excludes them from entering the domestic market.
If the technology is not released, the market will be completely closed and not opened.
It’s a gang of thugs with money.
In 2018, President Trump launched trade threats to stop subsidizing intellectual property and domestic industries.
And the raging trade war.
As soon as it seemed to be over, the conflict continued.
I had to prepare for that time to come again.
A differentiated technology that could not be easily matched by China was absolutely necessary.
“I don’t know if you know, but it is not easy to increase the efficiency of wafers called solar cells. Astronomical money aside, technology discovery is key.”
“I know roughly. Silicon-based is cheap, but I’ve heard that the current maximum commercial efficiency is about 20 percent. However, the multi-junction solar cell efficiency developed by American Amonics is 35.9%, and the solar cell layered system developed by Germany’s Fraunhofer Energy Systems is 44.7. I heard that Korea is also focusing on developing hybrid solar cells using quantum dots at KAIST.”
“!!!”
Chairman Ha Gwan-woo made a surprised expression.
In the past life, electric cars caused a frenzy in the stock market.
It was the knowledge I knew then.
It was possible to understand the stock market price by knowing the theme.
“Please focus your research on organic solar cells. We need to differentiate.”
“Is it an organic solar cell?”
“The first generation is a silicon cell, the second generation is a thin-film solar cell, and the third generation is an organic solar cell. Unfortunately, we must have a patent that can drastically increase organic solar cells, which have a short lifespan.”
“I don’t think it will be easy just listening to the words.”
“Organic solar cells have the advantage of being able to freely transform the photoactive layer material that absorbs light and generates electrons. Organic pigments such as merocyanine, filipium phthalocyanine, which absorbs visible light, are also used as raw materials. That means…”
Suddenly, it was time to study President Ha Kwan-woo.
“Unlike silicon or thin film, organic solar cells have advantages such as simple processing process, diversity, and low cost. That is, the material cost is very cheap. Although low efficiency and short lifespan are still disadvantages, they can be overcome. For that reason, it has been suitable for small devices such as special mobile phones and laptops… According to recent academic news, it is a specially developed material that can be applied to large units such as exterior walls and automobile glass, which are the advantages of thin film. I have also heard that it blocks oxygen and moisture penetration.”
“Chairman, you are amazing! A criminal like me cannot fathom your knowledge and plans!”
Chairman Ha Gwan-woo lowered his head.
Shows true admiration and respect.
Knowing the latest trends in academia, I would have looked like a genius.
A cool-headed businessman knows how to recognize the value of others.
My age was not a problem at all for Chairman Ha Kwan-woo.
“Accelerate the vertical integration of solar power. I… will take responsibility for the difficult part.”
“I will follow the will of the chairman like my life!”
