I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 130

“Construction on the Ulsan Data Center and Research Institute, which was halted due to this fire, resumed as of yesterday.”

“Please tell Representative Kang Myeong-gu that safety is the top priority, so he doesn’t need to think too urgently about it.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Is Dr. Nathan still in the Uljin area?”

“Yes. Dr. Nathan said he can obtain high-quality robot data from the disaster site, so he’s gotten accommodation there and commutes back and forth.”

Even the disaster site was nothing more than a data collection location for Nathan.

It was such a Nathan-like response that Kang Hyeon just laughed it off.

“Contact the Security Team and tell them to make Dr. Nathan’s safety their top priority.”

“Yes, I’ll relay that message. The next agenda item is a VIP meeting request.”

Kang Hyeon’s eyes lit up at the mention of VIP.

If the term VIP came up in a regular report, it meant a person of utmost national importance.

“Taiwan’s Wei Zhun President has requested a meeting with the Chairman.”

Wei Zhun President.

He was the person wielding the most powerful authority in Taiwan.

In the past, they had received help from him to resolve the Dashi incident.

‘I had promised Prime Minister Lao Xing that I would visit him once.’

It seemed the time had come to prepare for that meeting.

“Let’s contact Wei Zhun President’s side and schedule an appointment.”

“Yes, I’ll proceed immediately.”

Taiwan, home to TSMC, the world’s top semiconductor company.

The time had come to meet the person at the pinnacle of that place.

While Kang Hyeon was dealing with the disaster situation.

The world was still suffering from the nickel crisis.

“Nickel futures prices rose 3 percent compared to the previous day.”

“Nvidia is putting all their effort into securing nickel.”

“News that TSMC is experiencing disruptions in their system semiconductor processes due to inability to secure nickel is causing nickel prices to fluctuate again.”

“Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk posted a tweet on X expressing his frustration about nickel.”

Nickel is used in various industries.

Notably, it’s used in HBM5’s immersion cooling as well as system semiconductors, and nickel is also a main raw material for electric vehicle batteries.

In this situation, the entire world was experiencing a nickel crisis.

Due to the speculative atmosphere, there was a shortage of nickel even in places where it was actually needed.

“Keep holding the positions.”

“Understood.”

Market madness always made money.

Moreover, since KH Capital held not only futures but also physical commodities, this madness was more than welcome.

‘This trade will become a historic transaction for our company.’

Kwangho couldn’t help but smile at the seemingly endless rise.

Kang Hyeon had another piece of news as welcome as nickel.

[The Founding of the Great Korean Empire breaks all-time Amazon Prime viewership record!]

[Overwhelming! Global attention pouring onto The Founding of the Great Korean Empire!]

[The Founding of the Great Korean Empire OST also explodes! Enters Billboard chart top ten!]

[Love calls pouring in for actors! Lead actor Choi Ha-jin to appear in Hollywood blockbuster film!]

[Kim Eun-hye’s Cinderella story! What will her next project be?]

The success of The Founding of the Great Korean Empire was explosive.

It broke the all-time Amazon Prime viewership record, and even the OST entered the Billboard charts.

Moreover, the cast members were being cast in Hollywood films, among other incredible news that kept coming.

The life-changing stories also captured fans’ attention.

-Kim Eun-hye hit her career high.

-Wow… you really never know how life will turn out.

-One work changed her entire life.

-Kim Eun-hye really acted well.

-For real, when she was having that power struggle with the queen, it was no joke.

-I’d like to see a work where Kim Eun-hye appears as a villain too.

The protagonist of the life-changing story was Kim Eun-hye.

With her solid acting skills that captivated the drama, she focused the attention of fans worldwide.

Kang Hyeon didn’t forget to mention Kim Eun-hye in his meeting with Lee Jin-su either.

“Actress Kim Eun-hye is really hot right now.”

“Yes. Her acting skills are so good, and she was the most prominent supporting lead in this work. Fans’ interest is considerable.”

“Will she appear in Season 2 as well?”

“Yes. Director Bong decided to keep using actress Kim Eun-hye in Season 2 as well. Her role will probably become even bigger.”

Originally, Kim Eun-hye was set as a character who would appear in Season 1.

So her character was supposed to follow a story where she would exit after death.

But Director Bong Jun-seok changed his mind after seeing Kim Eun-hye’s acting and revised the scenario.

“Keeping Kim Eun-hye’s character alive in Season 1 was a stroke of genius.”

“What Director Bong Jun-seok said still rings true. He picked actress Kim Eun-hye as the actor who would soar highest from this work.”

“His foresight is amazing.”

“Haha, he had an accurate eye for actors.”

That was right.

Being a master director, Bong Jun-seok could immediately identify the most prominent person in a work.

It was also a reason to look forward to Season 2.

“Before starting Season 2, I’d like to have a gathering with the production team and actors.”

“Understood. I’ll contact them and check their schedules.”

The joy of Season 1 was brief.

The Founding of the Great Korean Empire team had to start filming Season 2 soon.

He thought it would be good to meet with the filming team before that.

Kim Eun-hye was enjoying her recently changed life.

“Eun-hye! I knew you would really succeed!”

“Right! Our Eun-hye’s acting has been really good since high school. Now the world is recognizing it!”

“Agreed~ Eun-hye was a pearl in the mud. Now people are recognizing it.”

Previously, when meeting with friends, she was just a supporting character, but now she had become the center.

In gatherings with them, her stories always became the main topic.

“Excuse me, you’re actress Kim Eun-hye, right?”

“Ah, yes.”

“I’m really a fan! I see you’re spending time with your friends. I’m really sorry, but could I ask for an autograph?”

“Of course.”

Fan requests for autographs also increased.

Previously, no one recognized her when she walked down the street, but now it was difficult to even walk around.

But she wasn’t uncomfortable with this situation.

‘This isn’t a dream, right? People asking for autographs and photos – this isn’t all a dream, right?’

She wondered if this might be a dream.

Though she sometimes worried it might suddenly disappear like a bubble, right now she wanted to enjoy this moment.

“Ever since our Eun-hye became famous, people recognize her everywhere we go.”

“This is the dignity of a global star.”

“When I uploaded that reel I took with Eun-hye on Instagram recently, it got crazy views.”

“Oh, I saw that! Didn’t it get over ten million views?”

“Right. Thanks to that, I even got contacted by elementary school classmates I hadn’t heard from.”

“Oh, now that you mention it.”

Mi-ju, who had been friends with her since middle school, looked at Eun-hye as if remembering something.

“I saw Seung-kwon oppa recently?”

At the mention of Seung-kwon, Kim Eun-hye’s face hardened.

Whether they knew it or not, all her friends’ attention focused on him.

“Seung-kwon? You mean Kim Seung-kwon?”

“The guy who dated Eun-hye?”

“Seung-kwon went to the United States. How did you see him?”

Kim Seung-kwon.

He had been Eun-hye’s boyfriend during college and was three years older than her.

The fact that she could date him, who was handsome and from a good family and popular at university, was purely due to Seung-kwon’s whim.

“Seung-kwon oppa asked all sorts of things about you, Eun-hye. From the way he talked, it seemed like he’s still very interested in you?”

“Oh my, oh my, is that really true?”

“Could it be that he still has feelings for you, Eun-hye?”

“They really looked good together back in college.”

“Isn’t Eun-hye a bit too good for him now?”

“No way. I heard Seung-kwon oppa is doing business in the United States? They say he’s doing really well.”

“Really?”

While her friends continued praising Seung-kwon.

Eun-hye was trembling.

‘That devil has returned to South Korea?’

The period of dating him had been nothing but hellish days for Eun-hye.

Burning Moon was the most popular club in Gangnam recently.

From influencers to celebrities.

The level of customers was incomparable to other clubs.

Moreover, the club thoroughly managed general customers.

The reason for such thorough management lay in the general manager’s competence.

“Sang-taek, contact the entrance and tell them to manage the quality strictly today.”

-Understood, manager.

“And when the Rolls-Royce Cullinan arrives at the entrance, contact me immediately. Today’s club special VIP.”

-Yes!

General manager Kim Seung-hyeon had just finished the radio call and was managing internal affairs.

Screech-!

A massive Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Burning Moon.

“Wow… nice car.”

“What? Isn’t that a Rolls-Royce?”

“It’s really big.”

While customers visiting the club were admiring it, the passenger door opened and a man walked out.

“Wow~ It’s been a while since I’ve been to my hometown.”

Then club managers approached the man.

“Huh? Seung-kwon hyung?”

“Oh! Hyeong-seok! How have you been?”

“I’ve been doing well thanks to Seung-hyeon hyung… I mean, the general manager!”

“Haha, your younger brother treats you well?”

“Of course! But when did you come to South Korea?”

“About three days ago?”

“Then you should have come to the store right away! Where have you been?”

“I didn’t come alone. Wait a moment.”

Seung-kwon walked to the back seat and opened the door.

Then a well-built man covered in luxury goods and gold accessories walked out.

Seung-kwon spoke politely to the man looking around.

“Dage! Zheli jiushi wo touzi de juleba!(Hyung! This is the place I invested in!)”

“Hao! Wo feichang manyi!(Good! I’m very satisfied!)”

“Haha! Xiexie!”

Hyeong-seok made a puzzled expression at Seung-kwon’s extremely respectful attitude toward the man.

‘That narcissistic yangban is being so humble?’

The Kim Seung-kwon he knew was never someone who would maintain such a humble attitude.

Kim Seung-kwon was exactly the man who best fit the phrase “I alone am honored in heaven and earth.”

Then Kim Seung-hyeon walked out from the entrance.

“Hyung!”

“Hey, how have you been?”

“I’ve been well. If you came to South Korea, you should have come home first.”

“Hey hey, stop the nonsense and pay your respects. This is the chairman I serve.”

“Ah, hello?”

As his younger brother Seung-hyeon tried to greet in Korean, Kim Seung-kwon poked his ribs.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you to prepare Chinese greetings?”

“Oh, right. Dongshizhang! Nihao! Woshi fuzhe juleba de Jin Chengxian!(Chairman! Hello! I’m Kim Seung-hyeon in charge of the club!)”

“Hao! Hao! Hen gaoxing jiandao ni!(Good, good. Nice to meet you.)”

“Dage, zhebian qing!(Hyung, this way please!)”

Kim Seung-kwon led the way and the man called chairman followed behind.

Watching Kim Seung-hyeon hurriedly chase after them, Hyeong-seok scratched his head.

‘Those two psychopath brothers are serving him so devotedly. What kind of yangban is he?’

Hyeong-seok was puzzled by the appearance of this mysterious yangban.

But he soon lost interest.

‘He’s probably just some rich chaebol anyway. Still, I’m envious of the VIP Room. He’ll probably do all sorts of things with pretty women inside.’

No wonder there were so many influencers and unknown celebrities today.

So this was why, Hyeong-seok thought.
