I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 115

Araon Studio had one secret weapon.

It was the Dragon Express.

This ride, created by a world-renowned amusement ride master, offered thrills on a completely different level from existing roller coasters.

Since it hadn’t been introduced anywhere else in Korea yet, it was already generating huge buzz among amusement ride enthusiasts.

And most of the people who visited on the first day were also amusement ride enthusiasts.

“Wow! It’s really the Dragon Express!”

“I can’t believe I’m seeing this in person while I’m alive.”

“Holy shit! I never thought I’d see this in Korea!”

The enthusiasts were busy capturing the real Dragon Express on camera.

Theme park specialist YouTubers also came to film.

Although many people flocked from the opening day, the internal flow was well-designed so it didn’t feel too crowded.

Of course, during parades and opening events, people would suddenly gather, creating various chaotic scenes.

But there were many Event Staff present, and the visitors also showed orderly behavior, so no accidents occurred.

After the first day’s opening concluded, various reviews were posted on the internet.

[Sharing my experience visiting Araon today.]

[For those who don’t want to read long posts, here’s a three-line summary first.

1. Incredibly spacious.

2. Clean with many rides to enjoy, various events too.

3. You must visit at least once.]

The most recommended best review was full of praise.

The comments were the same.

-I went too, and I have the same opinion as the review.

-Anyone in Incheon, Seoul, Gyeonggi area must go.

-No regrets.

-The admission ticket isn’t that expensive compared to foreign places.

-The food inside wasn’t overpriced either.

Isn’t the price a bit expensive?

It’s average for a theme park. What’s surprising is that it actually tastes good.

For real. Theme park food being tasteless is just a given. It’s absolutely disgusting.

-There’s really a lot to see.

-They said they invested heavily, and at this level, it’s definitely a legendary theme park.

As visitors’ rave reviews poured in, various reactions flooded the communities.

One thing was certain – it made people want to visit.

The effect was amazing.

[Visitors continue to flock to Araon Studio, which has been open for a week.]

[Araon Studio, which had 5,000 citizens visit on the first day, is seeing increasing visitor numbers day by day.

KH Group announced that Araon Studio’s daily visitors have reached up to 20,000 and are showing daily growth.]

[Incheon City announced plans to increase the frequency of Incheon subway services for visitors using the subway, and to coordinate with KORAIL to increase services on the Gyeongin Line and Suin-Bundang Line.]

Araon Studio’s visitor numbers increased significantly day after day.

Upon hearing this report, Kang Hyeon gave one instruction.

“Hire additional staff and prepare thoroughly so visitors don’t experience any inconvenience.”

“Understood.”

Araon Studio’s popularity was sky-high in its early opening period.

For this atmosphere to continue, additional investment was absolutely necessary.

Kang Hyeon understood this well and continued aggressive investment.

* * *

While Araon Studio was generating buzz, Kang Hyeon visited India after a long time.

“Prime Minister, you look very healthy even after not seeing you for so long.”

“Haha, thank you. Thanks to you, I’ve been living very comfortably these days.”

“You’re too kind. I also received great help thanks to you, Prime Minister.”

“I heard the story. You started logistics and distribution business in Korea?”

“Yes. Thanks to your help last time, we were able to take Dashi’s market share.”

“Now I see you’re quite a formidable person. To think you’d use me to corner Dashi.”

“It was just a strategic choice.”

“Haha! I highly regard that aspect. Come, let’s sit and talk.”

He exchanged warm greetings with Lao Sing Prime Minister, whom he met after a long time, and began talking.

“I heard reports that the road construction is progressing well. Are there any particular inconveniences?”

“Yes. Thanks to your attention, the local government is cooperating well, so there are no particular inconveniences. The Special Economic Zone is also progressing well.”

“Haha, I’m really looking forward to that. There’s a lot of talk about that Special Economic Zone domestically too.”

“So I’ve heard.”

“Thanks to you, India has a very lively atmosphere these days. Various construction projects are creating many jobs.”

When construction proceeds, workers are naturally needed.

Jobs increased significantly and money began circulating among people.

Naturally, they went to markets to spend money, creating a natural circulation structure.

Since Kang Hyeon was the one who created this opportunity, Lao Sing Prime Minister couldn’t help but favor him.

“Thank you for saying so.”

“Oh, and Taiwan’s Wei Zhun President said he’d like to meet you once.”

“Taiwan’s Wei Zhun President?”

“Yes. I talked about you a bit during our recent call. He seemed interested. If you have time, how about visiting Taiwan once?”

Taiwan President Wei Zhun.

He had received indirect help to resolve the recent Dashi incident.

He needed to express gratitude for that, and there was also a need to develop the Taiwan market.

“Understood. I’ll make time to visit soon.”

“Good, do that.”

“And Prime Minister.”

“Yes?”

“I’d like to expand the platform called Hyper that I launched into the India Market as well.”

“Hyper – you mean the e-commerce platform that replaced Dashi?”

“Yes. It would be difficult to cover all of India’s vast territory, but I’d like to start business based on key regions.”

“Hmm, that wouldn’t be bad. But there will be strong opposition. Any country would dislike foreign companies coming in to dominate logistics and distribution.”

Even if the Prime Minister approved, there was a high possibility that parliament members would oppose it.

Regarding this, Kang Hyeon had brought some alternative measures.

“Barma Group will be the key to the India Market.”

“Barma?”

“Yes. Barma Group, which has a cooperative relationship with us, has a company that handles logistics. Although it’s small, if we expand the business from now, we should be able to build infrastructure within two years.”

Barma Group.

Initially a competitor, it had now become the strongest partner in the India Market.

If a domestic company took the lead, parliament members would have no reason to oppose.

The possibility of citizens showing rejection would also decrease.

“You’re planning to do localization work.”

“Yes, exactly. With your help, Prime Minister, we can create distribution innovation in India.”

“Innovation is a good word. But creating that will require tremendous investment. India’s infrastructure isn’t as good as Korea’s.”

Unlike Korea, India Market had very outdated infrastructure.

Even major cities had backward cities and cutting-edge cities coexisting depending on the district.

Building new infrastructure in such places was an extremely difficult task.

So Kang Hyeon planned to approach it step by step.

“I plan to start Hyper service beginning with the Special Economic Zone. If word spreads and Indian citizens want it, I’d like to expand infrastructure to other regions.”

“Well, the Special Economic Zone is a new City you can create to your taste. It wouldn’t be bad as Hyper’s base camp.”

“And if you promise, Prime Minister, I’ll set up a roadmap where KH Group invests in infrastructure construction and Barma Group manages it.”

Prime Minister Lao Sing, who heard Kang Hyeon’s plan, smiled with satisfaction.

“With that method, the lawmakers will eventually agree too. I’m very pleased with it as well. Good, I’ll persuade the lawmakers to adjust the laws a bit so you can invest with confidence even after my term ends.”

“Thank you.”

“Haha, not at all. It’s my job to provide some convenience for an excellent businessman like you who’s making such massive investments in India.”

The two had struck a mutually beneficial deal where India would benefit from increased infrastructure and Kang Hyeon could pioneer the Indian market.

* * *

After finishing his meeting with Prime Minister Lao Sing, Kang Hyeon visited the Barma Group the next day to meet Arita Varma.

“It’s been a while, Chairman Varma.”

“This is the first time we’ve met since the groundbreaking ceremony. Did you finish your schedule in India well?”

“Yes. The conversation with Prime Minister Lao Sing concluded well.”

A gleam of interest appeared in Arita Varma’s eyes.

Prime Minister Lao Sing was someone even India’s big shots couldn’t easily meet, so he found it intriguing that Kang Hyeon had met with him before coming to see him.

“May I hear what you discussed?”

Kang Hyeon told him about the deal he had made with Prime Minister Lao Sing.

“So our Barma Group becomes Hyper’s Indian outpost.”

“Yes. Varma Trade, which belongs to the Barma Group, will become the center of India’s logistics distribution network.”

“Are you planning to create an e-commerce platform like in South Korea?”

“That’s right. If the Barma Group itself handles supply, it would cost enormous amounts, but if we introduce an e-commerce platform system, we just need to serve as a link between sellers and consumers, so we only need to invest in infrastructure costs.”

“But beating the platforms that have already dominated India won’t be easy.”

India also had several platforms like Dashi.

No, while Dashi had garnered tremendous attention by promoting same-day delivery.

India had an even faster system called quick commerce.

Although the products were mainly fresh goods and daily necessities, quick commerce promoted 15 to 30-minute delivery as its advantage.

This was possible due to the unique characteristics of the Indian market.

“India has very cheap labor costs. On the other hand, there are very few jobs. So people are flocking to delivery work. Plus, major cities have chronic traffic congestion. As you know, here in New Delhi, tremendous traffic congestion is also a problem.”

India’s traffic congestion was world-famous.

The road network wasn’t properly established, and the population’s low sense of public morality made the congestion even worse.

In such circumstances, launching a new e-commerce platform to beat existing e-commerce leaders wouldn’t be easy.

But Kang Hyeon had advantages over them.

“So I’m planning to start in Navodyaa.”

“You mean the Special Economic Zone.”

“Yes. There, we can create every structure from beginning to end ourselves. The current traffic congestion in New Delhi and major cities is ultimately due to unplanned urban development, isn’t it?”

“I can’t deny that. Certainly, the structure of India’s current major cities is a mess.”

“On the other hand, with Navodyaa, we can create it perfectly to our taste from the initial planning, so we can build a completely new supply chain.”

Having a Special Economic Zone provided enormous advantages in this regard.

“What plans do you have?”

“This is the urban plan our side has prepared.”

Kang Hyeon handed over a tablet PC.

Arita Varma, who received it, carefully examined the urban plan on the tablet.

From drone delivery to importing raw materials in the Special Economic Zone, processing them, and creating finished products.

The Made In SEZ plan that creates everything in one stop.

Plus, a hyperloop that opens dedicated underground passages for logistics movement, allowing transportation to various parts of the city.

All the plans were perfectly conceived.

“Certainly, with this level of vision, domination within the SEZ should be possible. Plus, since the current government doesn’t impose tariffs on goods produced within the SEZ, there’s price competitiveness too.”

Made In SEZ wasn’t just a system that ended with one-stop production, but was connected to government policies as well.

But there weren’t no problems.

“The problem is that introducing a system of this scale requires a lot of additional funding.”

Introducing such advanced technology requires enormous capital.

It was a burdensome amount even for the Barma Group, but Kang Hyeon answered with a relaxed expression.

“I’ll handle that part.”

Problems that could be solved with money were very simple matters for Kang Hyeon.
