Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

The next day, an article about Eugene appeared on the Internet for Forbes.

The reaction was immediate. Not anyone else, but the second richest person in the world in a year.

Even if any scholar or engineer had said it, it would not have been able to elicit as much repercussion as Eugene said.

Right now, the internet is hot with the Volkswagen scandal.

More reporters asked Eugene for an interview and sent inquiries to Volkswagen and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Eugene has since appeared on a couple of TV news appearances, repeating the same claim, and deferring additional interviews to other employees.

“Volkswagen is not the only company involved in the Clean Diesel scam. Mercedes, Renault and quite a few automakers are still polluting the environment by selling diesel cars in the US.”

Eugene has repeatedly emphasized that diesel is causing Americans to breathe poisonous gases.

It was aimed at the fact that Americans’ obsession with safety is great.

“Then you’re saying that Eugene Kang’s short selling isn’t limited to Volkswagen?”

“of course. All companies selling diesel cars to the United States must be investigated until the charges are cleared. If it is found that I have been involved in any of these fraudulent activities, I will be held liable.”

Instead of saying that he would make money through short selling, he emphasized moral right and wrong.

Making money is not important. The right of Americans to breathe clean air is important. This was the point Eugene was pushing to the end.

“Today is much better. It is worthwhile to practice all day.”

Thanks to Monica’s coaching, Eugene’s broadcast interview was also getting better.

“I wish I had removed my makeup first.”

For an interview caught on camera, I did makeup that I’ve never done before, and it’s not hard at all.

“If it’s that hard, I’ll erase it first. Rachel.”

As Monica gave her instructions, a recently hired makeup artist came over and started touching her face.

Monica and Rachel are not the only staff around Eugene.

A makeup artist and a hair designer hired at Monica’s request were always on hand, and a room on the first floor was filled with clothes that the newly recruited stylist randomly bought, enough to open several clothing stores.

Until he first hired Monica, Eugene had no idea that it would be this busy.

However, having scouted Monica, an expert in this field, for a large sum, I decided to faithfully comply with her request.

“It seems that the boss’s argument is being reflected in the market. It’s down 5% in two days.”

Two days after Eugene’s interview was published, the Volkswagen stock price is already starting to wobble.

“Now is the start.”

Eugene was predicting a drop of at least 40%.

“Did Volkswagen not respond at all?”

“yes. Be quiet. Usually, when you are attacked like this, you will respond in some way.”

“I thought the legal team would contact you at least once. They may be working on something by now.”

Eugene was rather sad.

If Volkswagen decides to take legal action, there will be a commotion, and Eugene will be more likely to appear in the media.

But it’s understandable enough. Eugene is not a problem for Volkswagen now.

By now, if the Environmental Protection Agency does not give a proper explanation, they must be putting pressure on them not to allow the launch of a new car.

Rather than asking for an explanation, it was more like a pressure to admit the allegation of fraud.

During that week, America was hot with the Volkswagen scandal. Various interviews came to Eugene, and he responded with as many responses as possible.

The fact that it was simply a scam by a large company was a hot topic, but the story of Eugene, who made a huge amount of money in just one year, was also a topic of discussion.

Those two surprising topics combined to create a great synergy.

At first, Eugene’s PR team used the network to hold interviews with various media, but more and more requests for coverage came in.

Less than a week later, Eugene had already become one of America’s most recognizable people.

“Perhaps no other immigrant has ever caught the American eye in such a short period of time, and probably never will again.”

Monica gave the evaluation with a satisfied face.

“It’s not just that I’m famous, I’m very fond of it. First of all, I like the story. Having won the Mega Millions and building up great fortune in a short period of time is just like the modern version of Aladdin. People think of Eugene as a prince from a foreign country. Moreover, Eugene has a good mask, and her skin is white and clean, which makes it even more so.”

The image of a super-rich prince from a foreign country was actually created by Monica herself.

When conducting interviews with various media or writing articles, he used words that implicitly felt that way, and asked the interviewers to use specific words.

Of course, it’s not free. But it was well worth it.

“Is it okay if all of the boss’s private life is revealed?”

“anything. You can sell them all if you need to.”

“Then I use the breakup with my fiancée. It’s also a pretty intriguing story. People will love it. Because nobody hates the story of a man escaping from a femme fatale.”

Monica was determined and solved Eugene’s story.

As she said, a series of stories between her ex-fiance and the American public also worked.

[Eugene Kang’s greatest fortune was not making $50 billion in a year, not winning a mega million, but escaping from that scary woman.]

At the newsstands, tabloid newspapers with Eugene’s full story were sold out.

“Now Eugene is one of the richest people in America. 72% of Americans know Eugene.”

Because it was a thoroughly calculated move, Monica’s team hired a polling agency to check Eugene’s awareness every day, and they were moving to the next step one step at a time, identifying likes and dislikes about him.

“The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it has confirmed the use of malicious software by Volkswagen.”

On September 18, Joanna delivered the news she had been waiting for.

With Eugene’s aggressive media play, attention to this situation seemed to skyrocket, and with the announcement of the Environmental Protection Agency, the stock price began to plummet as if waiting.

“It’s down to 20%.”

After the market closed, Joanna stuck out her tongue.

“It’s at least $5 billion in revenue for today alone.”

Of course, short selling is not the only profit. It is the expected return including put options and other derivatives.

On that day, Volkswagen’s stock price flew by $25 billion, so it was worth it.

It is truly a record drop.

“I am afraid of how much further it will fall. People’s anger is not too strong.”

“It will. If it had not been advertised as Clean Diesel, I would not have felt betrayed to this extent.”

“What. If it hadn’t been for clean diesel, I wouldn’t have bought it.”

Joanna’s face isn’t that good either.

“The Environmental Protection Agency announced that it emits 40 times more harmful gas than the standard. Bad children.”

Not only Joanna, but most Americans who have bought a Volkswagen must feel betrayed and offended.

“Volkswagen buyers said they were preparing a lawsuit. I plan to participate too. You have to Jailbreak.”

Just by looking at her attitude, you can feel how successful this investment is.

The resentment against Volkswagen will be reflected in the share price decline.

“If this continues, I don’t think Volkswagen will be able to do business again in the United States in the future.”

“That is another matter.”

Eugene is well aware that Volkswagen will do a very good job of solving this situation.

“Anyway, I will never buy Volkswagen and its brands again.”

Many conscientious Americans, including Joanna, felt shame that they were polluting the air by falling for the Volkswagen scam.

But, again, there is no way to be defeated by a daring sale.

“Mercedes and other German makers would be similar.”

“uh? Ah, then… … . American-made is a bit… … Should I buy a fertility car?”

Joanna asked with a smile.

She is well aware that Eugene’s relationship with Dasan isn’t bad.

“You don’t have to. How about buying an electric car? After the settlement of accounts is over, will everyone give away a Tesla Model S?”

“Boss, do you think electric vehicles will make meaningful growth?”

“The one that will ultimately benefit the most from this situation will be the electric vehicle industry, including Tesla.”

“is that so?”

“uh. look at people now Are you more concerned than ever about the environmental pollution caused by the gases emitted by automobiles?”

Joanna nodded her head.

“It does. It is true that we are concerned about gasoline cars, not diesels.”

“And electric cars don’t emit those emissions at all.”

“okay. However, it is not easy to solve problems such as the performance of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, right?”

“Infrastructure can be solved as long as it follows sales volume. Performance isn’t bad either. What matters is people’s perception. Now people are going to be more and more favorable to electric vehicles.”

“Well. Then it wouldn’t hurt to invest in Tesla.”

Joanna was a financial investor to the bone.

“It wouldn’t be bad either. Of course, it will be a long-term investment.”

“okay. It will be difficult to show results in a short period of time.”

“I have already lost up to 40%. I think the market is panicking.”

This happened three days after the Environmental Protection Agency’s announcement.

Volkswagen stock has already lost nearly $50 billion.

“All contracts with the investment bank have been liquidated. All in all, $7.6 billion in revenue.”

Excluding short selling and options, it was only the profit from individually concluded derivatives.

Besides, the situation is still ongoing.

“Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn has taken responsibility for the current situation and has issued a statement that he is resigning.”

A reporter for Forbes, whom I met last time, visited Eugene and asked for a comment on Volkswagen’s response.

“Martin Winterkorn said he still didn’t know anything about cheating programs. With common sense, who would accept that management was unaware of such an organized scam?”

“A lot of people say that it is probably because they are worried about the criminal punishment.”

“It is the act of pouring oil into a blazing fire. Shame has gone too far. If I had acknowledged all the facts and asked for forgiveness, American citizens would have been able to understand a little bit.”

On this day, Eugene used words that were far more radical than usual without a break.

Of course, it’s all planned.

On this day, the style was a little more aggressive and ferocious.

Monica asked the styling team to look like a warrior fighting a dragon, and from Eugene, she demanded harsh words and a high-pitched tone of voice.

It was to show anger at Volkswagen on behalf of the citizens.

It cannot be said that Eugene’s interview had an impact, but the blatant attitude of Volkswagen’s management has once again fueled the anger of American citizens.

“Eugene’s recognition and favorability have increased.”

The next morning, as usual, I was able to receive the results of the previous day’s poll.

Eugene was aiming for both effects by using Dieselgate to make money and to firmly establish his image in Americans.

A big event like this one will not come again for a while.

So, it was a perfect opportunity to have Eugene’s debut stage.

“Before the year ends, I want to make Eugene one of the most influential people in the country.”

Monica’s aspirations were bold.

“In the end, it went down to 50%.”

On October 2nd, the desired goal was exceeded.

It has been less than a month since the investment was made in Dieselgate.

Originally, it would have stopped at the 40% level, but the decline was stronger thanks to Eugene’s big aggro.

Individuals and institutions holding Volkswagen stocks were all throwing their stocks in panic.

“Let’s get this sorted out.”

To liquidate a short sale, you must buy back the stock you sold and return it. As there were not many stocks sold during that time, there were also not many stocks to be bought.

“I will liquidate it as long as it does not raise the price as much as possible. I liquidate all my options.”

There was still a lot of volume to sell, so the liquidation process wasn’t too difficult.

Volkswagen’s stock fluctuated between $80 and $90 for several days, and Joanna’s team was able to finish the short covering without too much trouble.

“Did you say you did something pretty big this time with the Volkswagen incident?”

Trump, who met again a few days later, asked.

His face was full of regret for not deciding to invest in Eugene’s family office a while ago.
