I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 136

With Kang Hyeon’s instructions, KH Logistics was able to move quickly.

Logistics formed an advance team to enter Taiwan and had them conduct a preliminary survey of Taiwan.

While Logistics was rapidly moving to enter Taiwan.

KH Entertainment was also finishing up one task.

“President, we’ve completed the contract with Team Baekho.”

“Good work. Now Team Baekho has become part of our family too.”

Team Baekho.

It was a gym specializing in training EFC fighters, operated by Director Kim Hyeon-su and where Kang Chan-wook belonged.

Originally, it was a place where Kang Hyeon had personally invested, but this time KH Entertainment decided to take over management.

That contract had been in progress and was now completed.

“How is the Kim Eun-hye case progressing?”

Since the work related to Team Baekho was finished, President Kim Jin-su focused on the Kim Eun-hye case.

The secretary answered his question with a troubled expression.

“Due to the delayed response from the agency, the police said they couldn’t identify the person who posted as the culprit.”

“Tsk! You have to respond as quickly as possible to have any chance of catching them. What on earth is that representative thinking?”

“This isn’t official, just a rumor. That representative apparently tried to make Kim Eun-hye do pillow business in the past.”

“That still exists?”

Kim Jin-su asked with a surprised expression.

Pillow business.

This term originating from Japan was a kind of backdoor deal.

It referred to doing physical business with high-value sponsors or specific individuals and receiving compensation afterward.

It was like a famous urban legend known even to the general public, but it existed a lot in the 90s and 00s.

However, as it became a social problem, it gradually disappeared from the 2010s.

But these problems hadn’t completely disappeared.

“President, you’ve been stepping back from the industry, so you might not know well, but everyone is still doing it secretly.”

“Huh…”

“However, they hardly do it domestically anymore, and nowadays everyone does business overseas, so they just don’t get caught by reporters.”

“They’re doing crazy things on a global scale.”

Kim Jin-su, who rarely cursed, had no choice but to this time.

It was questionable why they had to do such things overseas, not even domestically.

“So actress Kim Eun-hye fell out of favor with the representative since then and isn’t getting proper response?”

“It seems so. Otherwise, the current agency’s response doesn’t make sense.”

“They’re going to throw away a goose that will lay golden eggs like this?”

“That representative already has a lot of money.”

“Ha!”

Kim Eun-hye’s agency was BD Agency.

It was mainly a place that raised idols, but after Chinese capital came in, it expanded its territory to actors as well.

The representative, Cha Woo-sik, was a former actor who was famous for having a dirty personality even during his active days.

His abuse of power toward junior staff on filming sets even made it into articles.

‘I guess he got full after receiving money from China. He still can’t let go of that personality.’

Like a yangban full of pride, he didn’t like Kim Eun-hye’s behavior.

But when the work hit big and Kim Eun-hye’s reputation rose, how disgusting must that have been for him?

In the midst of that, a scandal broke, so it seemed he thought he had caught her properly and wasn’t responding.

“What state is Kim Eun-hye in?”

“She’s cut off all contact with the media. She barely takes our calls either.”

“That’s worrying. Send a female employee from our side to take care of her.”

“Will that be okay? If Representative Cha finds out, he might unnecessarily interfere.”

“What if something happens while we’re watching that yangban’s mood? We need to save the person first.”

“Yes, understood.”

When such things happen, a person’s mind cannot endure it.

All kinds of rumors and malicious comments pour in, so just imagining them eats away at one’s mind.

The eaten-away mind naturally leads to bad thoughts.

Since accidents can happen from this, Kim Jin-su prioritized her care.

‘I should discuss this with the Chairman once.’

It was ambiguous to pass this incident off as just a happening.

Kang Hyeon was visiting India.

It was to check the progress of Project Navodyaya.

“We’re currently finishing the foundation work.”

The site was progressing rapidly.

If it was wasteland before, now the foundation had been prepared, showing a somewhat neat appearance.

Since they were creating a city, the site was very vast.

It took a long time to look around this entire area.

So Kang Hyeon came up with an idea.

“Let’s take a helicopter and look around this area.”

“Understood, I’ll prepare it right away.”

Taking a helicopter and looking down at the entire construction area from above.

It wasn’t a bad method.

Hearing reports was good, but directly surveying the site with his own eyes was more accurate.

At his instruction, a helicopter was soon prepared.

Kang Hyeon, who boarded it, was able to check the entire site of Navodyaya in progress.

‘It’s progressing properly.’

Even now, much heavy equipment was moving back and forth, compacting the ground.

Only when foundation work was done properly could the buildings to be built on top stand straight.

After circling the Navodyaya site once, Kang Hyeon got off the helicopter and expressed gratitude to the KH Construction officials.

“It’s progressing very well. Thanks to all of you, I don’t need to worry about Project Navodyaya.”

“Haha, thank you so much for saying that.”

“We’ll only think about making this place the best city day and night.”

It was a satisfying answer.

He had no intention of ending with just verbal praise for such people.

“Secretary Kim.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Allocate a special bonus for Project Navodyaya. Give bonuses to all personnel according to their respective positions.”

“Understood.”

The employees’ eyes sparkled at the mention of bonuses.

“Th… Thank you! Chairman!”

“We’ll work even harder!”

In moving people, verbal praise was important, but material praise was also important.

Kang Hyeon smiled seeing them burning with more motivation than before.

“Please continue to work well with us.”

“Yes!!”

Kang Hyeon, who returned from India, had no time to rest.

This time he had to hear the final report submitted by Logistics.

Lee Gi-cheol, who had received and organized the documents in advance, reported to Kang Hyeon.

“Logistics has finally sent the list of team members for entering Taiwan. As a result of evaluating all personnel, we judged there could be no better selection than this.”

Kang Hyeon, who checked the documents Lee Gi-cheol handed over, nodded.

‘Nothing has changed except for a few additions to the list I sent.’

Since these were the personnel that Bit had recommended, there couldn’t have been a better combination than this.

Fortunately, Logistics seemed to recognize this as well and decided on the team accordingly.

“Good. Please proceed as planned. Were there any other requests from Logistics?”

“They requested strategic investment funds for expanding into Taiwan. While you were in India, Chairman, we held internal meetings, and we determined it was an appropriate request since Taiwan expansion could be responsible for Logistics’ future.”

“What amount would be appropriate?”

“The immediate funds needed are about 100 billion won.”

100 billion won.

It was a large sum, but he had enough cash for that amount.

“Let’s proceed. Make KH Capital the investment entity and proceed by providing a loan to Logistics. I’ll contact President Lim myself.”

“Understood. Then I’ll proceed with the instructions you’ve given right away.”

After Lee Gi-cheol left the office, Kang Hyeon immediately contacted Kwangho.

-Yes, Chairman.

“This is a personal call.”

-Oh, okay. What’s up?

Kwangho’s attitude of immediately speaking casually made him chuckle.

“Logistics is going to expand into Taiwan this time. We need some funds for that. Please arrange funding in the form of a loan from Capital.”

-Oh~ Is Logistics going to eat Dashi’s pie?

“That’s right. It’s a matter that President Wei Zhun personally requested.”

-Wow~ My friend has really become a big shot. The Taiwan President is personally making requests and all. So how much do you need?

“100 billion won. I’ll leave the practical work to Capital.”

-Okay. That amount is no problem at all. Oh, dividends will be coming in this time. The amount is really enormous.

“We made that much money. Of course it should be enormous.”

-Got it. And do you have side dishes at home? A-yeon made some side dishes. Should I bring them over?

“Oh, that would be great for me.”

His home was overflowing with food.

There was a working housekeeper who also cooked for him.

It wasn’t that A-yeon, Kwangho’s wife, didn’t know this, but she still made side dishes for him.

It came from her heart of caring for her husband’s friend.

Since he knew this feeling, Kang Hyeon also received them happily.

“Let’s go eat something delicious together with your wife soon.”

-Okay~

After hanging up the phone, Kang Hyeon could finally catch his breath.

“Phew… The position of group chairman is this busy.”

As the subsidiaries increased, taking care of all of them was quite difficult work.

At least he had created the group and placed people in charge, so he could catch his breath like this.

If he had tried to manage all the companies alone, ten bodies wouldn’t have been enough.

But he didn’t have much time to rest.

Bzzing-!!

Looking at the screen of his violently ringing smartphone, Nathan’s name was displayed.

“There isn’t a surveillance camera in my room, is there? How does the call come at exactly the right time when I’m resting?”

Kang Hyeon, who had been grumbling with useless thoughts, answered the phone with a smiling face.

“Yes, Doctor. What brings you to call?”

-Chairman! If you have time, please come to the research institute! Harry CEO and I discovered something interesting!

“Something interesting?”

-Yes!

Nathan’s attitude of not telling him what it was made him sigh involuntarily.

It meant if he was curious, he should come see for himself.

“Understood. I’ll visit sometime today.”

Kang Hyeon lifted his heavy body and soon left the office.

‘There’s no time to rest.’

Nathan’s Research Lab.

Nathan and Harry CEO greeted Kang Hyeon when he arrived there.

Other people were also diligently researching something, and they seemed unaware that Kang Hyeon had come.

“You’ve arrived? Chairman!”

“This is the first time we’re meeting since Taiwan. Chairman.”

Kang Hyeon briefly acknowledged the greetings from Dr. Nathan and Harry CEO, then got to the point.

“I was curious about the interesting discovery you mentioned on the phone, so I rushed right over.”

“Your eyes will sparkle when you see this! Look here!”

Dr. Nathan pointed to the monitor.

A map of the Asia region was displayed there.

In the sea between Korea and China, numerous red dots were embedded.

“It’s a map of Asia. What are these red dots embedded here?”

Dr. Nathan answered Kang Hyeon’s question without hesitation.

“They’re Chinese naval vessels.”

“Excuse me?”

“Recently, Chinese naval vessels have been moving toward Taiwan.”

Wait, hold on.

“We think they’ll probably start an invasion soon.”

“Wa… wait a minute! Is that really true?!”

At Kang Hyeon’s incredulous reaction, Harry CEO nodded.

“Yes, the possibility is very high.”

China’s invasion of Taiwan.

The possibility of this unbelievable event was increasing.
