I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 150

The next day.

The core working staff of KH Logistics entered the country through Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

As soon as they arrived, Kang Hyeon summoned them to the temporary office prepared in Taipei City Center.

It was a forced march that didn’t even give them time to rest, but the staff’s eyes held more anticipation than fatigue.

A map of the entire Taipei area was displayed on the large screen in the meeting room.

Kang Hyeon precisely pointed to a spot on the outskirts of the map with a laser pointer.

“This is the location. The former state-owned warehouse site in the outskirts of District 3.”

A red circle was drawn on the map.

It was the very land that Kang Hyeon had personally confirmed with his own eyes yesterday and received a definitive answer from Wei Zhun President.

Park Director, the working team manager of logistics, immediately tapped his tablet to check the data.

“Since it’s currently a ruined area, demolition costs will be incurred, but the location itself is phenomenal.”

Park Director’s finger quickly pointed to several places on the map.

“Only 3km to the northern main highway entrance. Access to the southern port is also perfect.”

“That’s right. It’s optimal flat land with no radio interference or physical obstacles for planning routes for unmanned drones and ground robots.”

Positive analyses continuously burst from the mouths of other staff members as well.

They too had instantly grasped the overwhelming value this site possessed as a logistics hub.

With just a brief data check, the staff perfectly agreed that this site Kang Hyeon had identified was the best strategic location.

“Wei Zhun President’s full administrative support has been promised. There will be no delays due to permit issues.”

At Kang Hyeon’s dry explanation, the staff’s eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

“Start construction of the data center and logistics base simultaneously with site preparation. I’ve already instructed KH Construction to finish their support preparations as well.”

“Understood, Chairman.”

Kang Hyeon continued speaking while recalling the intense red afterimage that had filled the map.

“There is one goal. To be the first to establish our unmanned delivery service throughout all of Taipei centered on this base.”

“Yes!”

“Begin field work starting tomorrow. Taiwan’s reconstruction will start on our infrastructure.”

The staff all rose from their seats at once and answered vigorously.

It was the moment when KH Group’s massive flag was firmly planted on Taiwan’s territory, which bore the scars of war.

After finishing the field base meeting with the logistics staff, Kang Hyeon immediately headed to the Temporary Presidential Office of Taiwan.

Due to the collapse of the main Presidential Office building from China’s precision strikes, this was a space created by renovating an underground bunker facility on the outskirts of the city center.

The air in the temporary office, where the acrid smell of dust had not yet dissipated, was heavy.

It was a time of being incredibly busy with post-war recovery and chaotic state administration.

However, upon hearing news of Kang Hyeon’s visit, Wei Zhun President postponed even his scheduled meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to welcome him.

“Chairman Choi. I apologize for receiving you in such a humble place. You must have had a hard time coming such a long way.”

As soon as Kang Hyeon entered, Wei Zhun rose from his seat and firmly grasped both his hands.

It was exceptional treatment shown by a nation’s head of state to a mere corporate leader.

Deep fatigue was evident on his face, but his eyes toward Kang Hyeon were clear and solid without a trace of pretense.

“I’m grateful that you welcome me so warmly despite being busy, President. The bunker atmosphere is quite solemn.”

“We still can’t completely lower our guard. Please, have a seat.”

As soon as they sat down, Wei Zhun served warm oolong tea and immediately brought up the main topic.

There were no unnecessary embellishments or political probing.

“About the former state-owned warehouse site in the outskirts of District 3 that you requested.”

Wei Zhun’s expression became even more serious.

“This morning, through an emergency cabinet meeting, I instructed that the ownership transfer and long-term free lease of that site be processed as top priority. Various environmental assessments and construction permit processes have also been classified as fast-track and will be approved starting tomorrow.”

A definitive administrative guarantee from the nation’s highest authority.

It was a speed possible only because Taiwan was in a state where emergency powers equivalent to wartime were activated.

“The Taiwan government will spare no administrative and financial support possible to ensure KH Logistics can perfectly establish itself in Taiwan. This goes beyond simple business and will become the core driving force of Taiwan’s reconstruction.”

Earnestness was evident in Wei Zhun’s voice.

Kang Hyeon quietly lifted his teacup while gazing at Wei Zhun’s face and the space inside the bunker.

When he blurred his focus and concentrated his mind, light burst forth along with strange heat waves.

‘Intense.’

The dazzling red light that enveloped Wei Zhun President’s body and rose up.

It wasn’t lies or shallow political rhetoric.

It was perfect sincerity that KH Group’s capital and technology were desperately needed to save Taiwan, and the color of conviction showing this deal would definitely succeed.

He had gained a massive shield as Taiwan’s head of state and the most reliable ally.

Kang Hyeon put down his teacup and smiled faintly.

“President, I have definitely received your sincerity. Our KH Group will also immediately begin full-scale investment for Taiwan’s reconstruction.”

Relief spread across Wei Zhun President’s face at Kang Hyeon’s answer.

It was the moment when the most solid alliance was formed.

As soon as Kang Hyeon’s instructions were given, KH Group’s massive capital and manpower began to move.

News of KH Logistics’ expansion into Taiwan and construction of unmanned logistics bases was also transmitted in real-time to Korean media outlets.

[KH Group declares construction of large-scale unmanned logistics infrastructure in war-scarred Taiwan!]

[Chairman Choi Kang-hyeon seizes opportunity amid crisis. Full support from Taiwan Presidential Office and free land acquisition.]

[From dispatching disaster relief robots to dominating logistics networks. KH Group’s meticulous big picture of planting their flag in Taiwan’s heart.]

The main news of all portal sites was plastered with KH Group’s moves.

It was a time when global companies worldwide were withdrawing capital from Taiwan or being cautious while watching China’s reactions.

However, Kang Hyeon boldly jumped into the heart of Taiwan.

It wasn’t reckless gambling but a perfectly calculated winning move, and as a result, it drew unprecedented special treatment from the Taiwan government.

“Wow, this is crazy. Look at that timing. While everyone else is scared and running away, he’s gobbling up all the prime land.”

“Look how he saved people with robots, won public sentiment, then expanded business. It’s more like a movie than movies.”

“Should I buy KH Group stocks even now? This is the real deal.”

Public reaction was explosive.

With this incident as a turning point, KH Group’s status within Korea surpassed that of a simple major conglomerate.

A massive empire that reads international situations and leads global standards.

Public favorability and corporate trust soared as if to break through the ceiling.

And right now, when public attention was perfectly focused on KH Group.

Another massive event that Kang Hyeon had meticulously prepared surfaced.

“The time has finally come.”

Immediately after returning from Taiwan, in Kang Hyeon’s office.

Kang Myeong-gu Representative of KH Construction presented approval documents with a highly excited expression.

KH Construction’s listing.

It was the first IPO among KH Group’s numerous profitable subsidiaries.

Market interest had already heated up to just before explosion.

This was because KH Construction’s recent major moves domestically and internationally had been truly legendary.

“What’s the current market atmosphere?”

Kang Hyeon asked dryly while flipping through the documents.

“It’s literally a frenzy. The media and Yeouido securities district are pouring out speculative reports daily about exactly what valuation our KH Construction will list at.”

Kang Representative’s voice trembled slightly.

It was understandable.

The projects KH Construction was currently undertaking were mammoth-scale that existing construction companies wouldn’t dare even present their business cards for.

The first was winning the highway construction contract for India’s state project.

It wasn’t simple road paving but work to pierce through a massive artery connecting India’s major economic hubs.

The second was new city development in the Indian Economic Free Zone.

It was an area that Indian Prime Minister Lao Xing had exceptionally granted after being impressed by Kang Hyeon’s capabilities.

It was a mega-project worth tens of trillions of won to build an entire futuristic new city combining smart city and unmanned logistics infrastructure.

Lastly, construction of Asia’s largest hyperscale data center and KH integrated research institute in Ulsan, South Korea.

KH Construction was exclusively handling the construction of this place that would become KH Group’s brain and heart.

It wasn’t the level of building simple apartments or commercial buildings.

Piercing through a nation’s arteries, creating new cities, and constructing the core of future industries.

As these overwhelming achievements burst forth consecutively, KH Construction’s intrinsic value had long since far surpassed the market capitalization of existing first-tier construction companies.

“The lead underwriter selection and corporate due diligence are completely finished. If the Chairman approves, we’ll submit the securities registration statement to the Financial Supervisory Service tomorrow morning and begin the full-scale investor offering process.”

Kang Representative held his breath as he waited for Kang Hyeon’s decision.

KH Group’s first public listing.

This wasn’t simply an act of raising funds.

It was a massive declaration of war to prove KH Group’s true destructive power in the heart of the capital market and load astronomical ammunition for future global expansion.

Kang Hyeon quietly looked down at the thick securities registration statement file placed on his desk.

He quietly narrowed his eyes and concentrated his mind.

He opened his ability over the stack of documents and Kang Representative who was giving the report.

‘…!’

In an instant, tremendous light filled Kang Hyeon’s vision.

Not even a speck of black danger or blue signs of decline was mixed in.

Only explosively intense and pure red light wrapped around the printed text of the documents and the person, blazing fiercely.

A great success beyond success.

A perfect hit that would rewrite the history of Korea’s capital market was foretold.

A deep smile spread across Kang Hyeon’s lips as he verified the perfect future with his ability.

“Good.”

Kang Hyeon’s signature was drawn without hesitation on the front page of the documents.

“Submit the registration statement to the Financial Supervisory Service tomorrow as scheduled. It’s time to show the market our real hand.”

The next day.

KH Construction’s securities registration statement was officially registered in the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system.

And immediately after those documents were disclosed, Yeouido’s securities district was literally turned upside down.

It was because of KH Construction’s astounding financial statements and performance indicators that were transparently disclosed to investors.

[Debt ratio virtually converging to 0%. A model of debt-free management that destroys construction industry common sense!]

[India’s new city development and highway contracts secure ‘confirmed revenue’ for the next 10 years estimated at tens of trillions of won.]

[KH Capital’s powerful capital backup. Perfect cash flow with liquidity crisis fundamentally blocked even in high interest rate era.]

The PF loan risks, interest burdens, and fears of profitable bankruptcy due to unsold units that general construction companies chronically suffer from didn’t exist in KH Construction’s dictionary.

This was because they were running all core businesses with their own funds based on the overwhelming cash mobilization power of their parent company KH Group, especially KH Capital which held tens of trillions of won in cash.

Financial conditions that were flawless beyond soundness, even to the point of being miraculous.

Here, the absolute public trust in the entire KH Group, which peaked with their entry into Taiwan logistics, created explosive synergy.

The market’s reaction was close to madness beyond rational judgment.

[Securities analysts give up calculating KH Construction’s appropriate stock price. “There’s no comparable industry model domestically.”]

[Likely to easily break through the top end of the desired offering price. Certain to set new record for largest subscription deposit in IPO history!]

[KH Construction listing opens money printing machine. Institutional investors and foreign capital on emergency alert for securing shares!]

All economic newspapers and broadcast news were plastered with KH Construction’s listing news all day long.

Conversely, existing large construction stocks couldn’t avoid plummeting across the board as investors’ funds flowed out like a receding tide.

All the blind money and smart capital in the market had finished preparing to be sucked in fiercely toward only KH Construction like a black hole.

“Remarkable. I expected it, but I didn’t know the market reaction would be to this extent.”

Chief Secretary Kim Ha-ryul clicked his tongue while giving the briefing.

Kang Hyeon calmly checked the endless stream of praise articles and soaring over-the-counter stock quotes on the large monitor in his office.

‘With this, all the gears mesh perfectly and turn.’

Foreseeing Harvey Goldwin’s downfall and investing political funds in Aiden to buy America’s future.

Penetrating the gap created by China’s provocation to completely dominate Taiwan’s logistics and reconstruction business.

In South Korea, dominating the capital market based on perfect performance to exponentially expand the group’s size.

Everything was proceeding without a single error along the trajectory of red light that Kang Hyeon had seen.

Now all that remained was to ride this massive wave and reap astronomical capital.

Everything was moving according to Kang Hyeon’s calculations.
