I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 134

Kim Seung-kwon looked at the post he had uploaded to an internet community and smiled bitterly.

“Fucking bitch, see. You should have listened to me.”

The title of the post he uploaded was very provocative.

[Should I upload a sex video of actress Kim X-hye from the globally hit work?]

The view count exploded.

The comments were tremendous, with hundreds of them posted.

Of course, the community administrator didn’t just leave this post alone.

[This is a deleted post.]

The post was deleted in less than an hour.

But the post had already spread to various communities.

The rumors spread on the internet were uncontrollable.

Seung-hyeon asked Kim Seung-kwon, who was pleased with the rapidly spreading post.

“Hyung, what if your IP gets tracked?”

“Don’t worry. I’m not an idiot, I used a bypass program made by Chinese hackers. Even top Chinese hackers can’t track this.”

“Wow~ You’ve been doing business in China. Our hyung has become quite capable.”

“To survive there, this much is basic.”

“What exactly do you do there? What kind of work does that Chairman person do?”

“Didn’t I tell you? We run an agency there. A place that manages wanghongs.”

“Wanghong?”

“Influencers, I mean.”

Wanghong, as they’re called in China, were a type of influencer.

Global SNS platforms like Instagram or Facebook couldn’t be used in China.

So China had developed its own SNS platforms that imitated those.

Not just SNS, but programs like YouTube and TikTok all had imitation programs that could replace them.

Especially TikTok was serviced under the name Douyin.

“Influencers who work on that Douyin are called wanghongs. They make billions of won per month. Some of them, at least.”

“Wow~ Really? They make that much?”

“Don’t even get me started. They do live broadcasts and sell products, so the revenue they bring in is no joke. There are programs like Excel that we have in our country too.”

“China has everything too.”

“It’s not just that level. Korea’s internet broadcasting market doesn’t even amount to a fingernail’s worth of dirt.”

Korea’s internet broadcasting market was huge.

Top-level BJs easily exceeded billions of won in annual revenue.

If you include YouTube creators, the scale becomes even larger.

But the wanghongs on YouTube and Douyin serviced in China earned even greater profits than that.

“The Chairman I brought was called a big spender among the wanghongs there.”

“Wow~ How much would you have to spend to be called a big spender in a place like that?”

“Just calculating what he spent on Douyin last month alone exceeds 2 billion won.”

“Wow~ I think he spent about 50 million won at our club too.”

“That’s just pocket change. He spent over 50 billion won on Douyin in one year alone. He’s not called a big spender for nothing.”

“The world really is wide and there are many rich people… I thought I was doing well making 20 million won a month.”

“That’s doing well too. There’s no point in constantly comparing yourself to people like that.”

Seung-kwon had seen many people living in a different world while running an agency in China.

They lived lives different from his common sense, backed by tremendous funds.

At first he envied them, but soon accepted it.

That there are people like that in the world.

“We just need to live by getting the crumbs they give us. While earning the envy of other ordinary people.”

“That’s right. But hyung, honestly Kim Eun-hye’s looks are lacking. Why are you so obsessed? Are you excited because a woman you used to date became successful?”

“Fuck. Is that something to say to your hyung?”

“Honestly, that’s true though. Without the actress title, there’s nothing to see.”

“Right. But our Chairman is a pervert who gets off on women like that. He especially likes women who follow Cinderella stories. He likes them so much that he makes them into Cinderellas, fucks them, then throws them away.”

“Wow… what a real pervert.”

Though they say there are various sexual preferences in the world, he thought there are people with tastes like that too.

“So Kim Eun-hye was perfect. But this bitch got a little famous and started ignoring my calls.”

The reason for posting such content on the internet was to lure Kim Eun-hye out.

Seung-hyeon, who had been listening to the story, asked his hyung.

“Show me the video too.”

“Fuck, would I have it? When did I break up with her? It’s all gone.”

“Aw, I was really expecting it thinking you had it.”

“And you bastard, do you want to watch your hyung having sex?”

“If the partner is Kim Eun-hye, it’s a bit tempting.”

“Bullshit. The Chairman is going to the store again today, so set things up well. Take good care of the girls’ water management.”

“Yes sir! Understood!”

The two were so low-class it was hard to believe they were brothers having a conversation.

Kang Hyeon could also access news about Kim Eun-hye.

“What does Kim Eun-hye’s side say?”

“The agency has taken the position that it’s groundless. We haven’t been able to hear from the person herself.”

At CEO Kim Jin-su’s answer, Kang Hyeon pondered and asked.

“Even if this were true, would it affect the work? Even if there is a video, isn’t that ultimately the actor’s personal private life?”

“That’s the general perspective, but if it becomes the subject of people’s gossip, it could have a negative impact on the work too.”

“Hmm.”

From Kang Hyeon’s perspective, it didn’t make sense.

But knowing there are various people in the world, he let the incomprehensible parts slide for now.

“What do you think would be best to do, CEO?”

“I think it would be good to watch the agency’s response for a bit first.”

“Rather than such a by-the-book answer, I’d like to hear CEO Kim’s thoughts.”

“I highly evaluate the actress Kim Eun-hye. She’s an actress who shouldn’t disappear by getting caught up in such controversies.”

“I think the same.”

Initially casting Kim Eun-hye was because of her light.

But after the work was released and Kang Hyeon directly saw her acting, he felt her acting skills were tremendous.

If she disappeared due to such controversies, nothing would be more regrettable than that.

“First, try to block media coverage as much as possible. And ask the agency to respond too.”

“But there’s a problem.”

“A problem?”

“The agency is being a bit passive.”

“What does that mean? Kim Eun-hye is currently the actress with the highest stock value. How can the agency respond passively?”

“According to rumors, the agency CEO doesn’t particularly like Kim Eun-hye.”

What kind of novel bullshit is this again.

He wondered if it was possible to neglect an actress with the highest stock value simply because they don’t like her.

“It’s not common, but considering that Kim Eun-hye previously had no star quality, it’s possible.”

“There’s a CEO who dislikes an actress who brings in good money. I can’t understand it.”

“We can’t understand everything in the world.”

That’s right.

If someone could understand everything in the world, that person would have already transcended the human category.

“If you feel the agency’s response isn’t adequate, we’ll do our best to handle it from our end.”

“Understood.”

While he was away in Taiwan, unexpected events were unfolding.

The Kim Eun-hye incident was quickly causing a stir throughout the world.

[Kim Eun-hye from The Founding of the Great Korean Empire, private life leaked?]

[Are the rumors about her really true?]

[Agency states “completely groundless.”]

[Kim Eun-hye disappears from public appearances, when will she make a statement?]

[KH Entertainment’s position: “There will be no departure of Kim Eun-hye.”]

They tried their best to prevent articles from being published, but couldn’t stop them all.

Since it was such an attention-grabbing story, naturally many articles poured out.

The netizens’ reactions were also heated, making it even more so.

Even while watching this situation unfold, Kang Hyeon was carrying out his own tasks.

‘Even if it exists, I question whether it’s worth all this fuss.’

In a way, it was just one individual’s private life.

And even if such a video existed, it wasn’t her fault.

But the world was focusing all kinds of attention on her as if she were guilty of something.

‘I’m worried if she’ll be okay.’

Kim Eun-hye was the actress who would anchor the global hit The Founding of the Great Korean Empire.

Her role was expected to become even more prominent starting from season 2.

Kang Hyeon had no intention of watching such an actress leave over this trivial controversy.

‘I need to resolve the KH Capital side first, then seriously start blocking this.’

Today he was heading to KH Capital.

It was to gradually close out the nickel position.

Though prices were still rising, Kang Hyeon could see through the charts that nickel’s shine was gradually weakening.

“Chairman, you’ve arrived?”

When he arrived at KH Capital, Kwangho greeted him.

The two men entered the office and spoke comfortably once they were alone.

“I got your call and know what this is about. You want to close out the nickel position?”

“Yeah. The price has already risen quite a bit.”

“That’s true. The profit is already over 10 billion dollars.”

10 billion dollars.

Converted to Korean won, it was an enormous amount reaching 14 trillion won.

Even considering the initial investment, they had made over triple the profit.

If they closed out this entire position, KH Capital’s cash liquidity would become very abundant.

“If we dump the current position on the market, the shock would be considerable, right?”

“Of course. No matter how much of an uptrend it is, if this much volume gets dumped at once, it can’t handle the shock.”

“That’s why I’m saying we should gradually close it out.”

The volume KH Capital currently held amounted to about half the daily trading volume.

Dumping this much volume at once was at an unreasonable level, so technical selling was necessary.

“Do you think the price will fall?”

At Kwangho’s question, Kang Hyeon nodded.

“To be precise, there’s too much madness in the market. In situations like this, it’s hard to catch the peak.”

“True, the rate of increase has been frighteningly fast. It feels like when gold hit its peak.”

Gold once continued an incredible surge.

People expected gold prices wouldn’t fall due to unstable world conditions, but gold that had exceeded $5,600 per ounce showed a dramatic change by falling all the way to $4,400.

Of course, prices rose again afterward and are defending the $5,000 level, but it was a symbolic case showing how prices filled with madness can change.

“Taking profits is always right. Besides, continuing to hold this much volume is also nerve-wracking.”

“Right. It’s important to realize profits appropriately.”

There was a saying in the market.

Buying is technique, selling is art.

That’s how important it was to close out positions that were recording profits.

And Kang Hyeon had set the present time for realizing nickel profits.

“Then I’ll start gradually closing out the nickel volume from today.”

“Alright. Let me know when you’ve closed out all the volume.”

“Planning to invest in another stock?”

“I need to start looking around. There’s nothing more foolish than letting money sit idle, right?”

With the massive cash of 14 trillion generated, finding another place to invest it was the trader’s role.

“Even after becoming chairman, you’re a trader to the bone, aren’t you?”

“Of course.”

Kwangho smiled at his friend’s unchanged nature even after becoming chairman.
