Chapter 188 - Control
Chapter 188: <Control>
Woosung frowned in disgust.
He murmured, “Dirty bastard.”
He got a call from Moon Yongjun for help.
“Please stop Choi Taemin from continuing to assault innocent female celebrities.”
Woosung already knew about Choi Taemin. He was famous in the business world. Woosung called around to inform every major agency and TV stations that they should no longer obey Daeyang. It took a while, but Woosung was successful in convincing everyone.
“I think it’s time to leak that video.”
Daeyang Electronics was now worth only 40 billion dollars.
Just a little while longer, and Woosung was sure he could destroy it.
“I just need to get Suk Jinmyung on my side…” Woosung murmured in disappointment.
He asked Chun Gisu to contact Suk Jinmyung, but nothing came out of the call. However, one positive thing happened recently.
“JP finally called.”
Woosung grinned.
“Is KND being funded by Japan?”
“KND rumored to be sponsored by a hedge fund ‘J.’”
“Will Japan take over the Korean economy?”
The rumors were starting to surface. Woosung laughed at them.
“It’s the opposite. I own Japan, not the other way around.”

Jang Gwangchul walked into the office.
“This must be Daeyang’s doing.”
Woosung nodded. “Probably. They are becoming so desperate.”
“It’s true. Many people think Daeyang will slowly disappear.”
Woosung nodded again. The news channels continued to air the rumors.
“Japan may take over the Korean industries.”
“The government needs to do something to stop it.”
“President Kang Woosung needs to be investigated.”
These were all planned by Daeyang.
Jang Gwangchul asked, “So will you do something about it?”
“I am waiting for the right time.”
“When?”
“When it gets huge. At that time, I will reveal the truth about Daeyang and the government, which will end them.”
“…”
“It will be devastating for them. I already have information on Choi Taemin bad enough to send him to jail.”
Jang Gwangchul’s eyes widened. “Jail?”
“I just need to wait for the perfect time.”

At the top floor of Daeyang building.
Suk Jinmyung looked at Choi Taemin in fear.
Choi Taemin said to him, “Jinmyung.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You’ve been working at Daeyang for 10 years now, right?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Why do you think you survived this long?”
Suk Jinmyung tried to think of the right answer, but he couldn’t come up with anything.
He answered honestly, “It’s because I worked very hard.”
“Wrong.”
“…”
“It’s because you got things done, but I am starting to doubt your ability.”
“I apologize.”
Choi Taemin leaned back and replied, “You didn’t get the girl I wanted. You got someone else.”
“I apologize.”
“I am so stressed. I need a way to relieve it. Remember?”
Choi Taemin threw his cellphone at Suk Jinmyung.
Smack.
“Answer me!”
“I’m sorry.”
“What is wrong with you?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Get that girl now. I WANT HER. Got it?”

Bit Trading office.
Choi Gichul called a few times, but there was no answer.
“Why the heck isn’t he answering?”
Bitcoin: 176 dollars.
The price was continuing to rise. It now almost reached 200 dollars. Some people believed it would reach 1000 dollars.
Choi Gichul bit his nails and murmured, “I need to buy right now.”
He already spent 30% of his wealth on buying bitcoins. He bought them for 150 dollars. He already made over 10% profit.
Jung Jinsup asked, “So you really bought them?”
Choi Gichul nodded.
Jung Jinsup asked, “How much?”
“I bought at 150 dollars. Won’t you go in too?”
Jung Jinsup laughed, “I will wait a little while longer.”
In truth, Jung Jinsup wanted to buy too, but he had no money. He only had debts, something Woosung would handle.
Choi Gichul asked, “When will you go in?”
“When it goes over 200 dollars. If it does, I think it will reach 1000 dollars. I will buy in bulks when it reaches 200 dollars.”
“I see.”
“It’s just my guess, but it’s a little different if someone like you gets involved. You could control the price. You have about 400 million dollars available, right?”
“Much less now because of Daeyang’s stock price. I don’t know the specifics.”
“I guess.”
“But you are saying I could be the force that can influence the bitcoin price?”
“Yeah.”
Choi Gichul’s eyes shined.
***
Suk Jinmyung called different entertainment agencies, but all of them rejected him again.
Chun Gisu called him, “The fact that you answered means you might be interested in what I offer.”
“Shut up.”
“I’ll bet this call has already been reported to Choi Taemin. You know how controlling he is.” When Suk Jinmyung couldn’t answer, Chun Gisu continued, “Do you really want to wait and see what happens when Choi Taemin goes after you?”
Suk Jinmyung listened silently.
Chun Gisu continued, “He killed his own father. Remember that.”

217.50 dollars.
Choi Gichul glanced at Jung Jinsup.
‘It could reach 1000 dollars quickly if I get involved…’
Choi Gichul had up to 300 million dollars in cash. It was the money he received for giving the Daeyang shares to Woosung as collateral. With this money, he could buy about 10% of the bitcoins in the world.
‘It might not be enough with only 300 million dollars, but…’
He had Daeyang. He could form a group with other companies. With his Daeyang background, there would be many companies who would be interested. With these companies’ money, he knew he could really control the price of bitcoins.
“Why isn’t Suk Jinmyung answering my call anyway?”
He had to ask Suk Jinmyung to see how much money he could get from Daeyang.
