Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

“Did I hear you were friends with Sarah Delvian?”

“yes. We know each other as a family, so we have been playing together since we were young.”

“What if you get to know each other with your family?”

Joanna’s family refers to the royal family of the Netherlands. As long as it fits with the royal family of a country, it is clear that he has a good background.

“My mother is from the Earl of England. She is also a relative of Queen Elizabeth. My father is a banker in London. He is also the director of the Lloyd Group, and he is the manager of the royal estate.”

Also as you think No ordinary person has any acquaintance with the Dutch royal family.

Living in the United States, I could clearly feel that networking is everything here. Getting a job in a private company is of course going through networking, becoming a civil servant involves networking, and even entering a university requires networking.

The United States was not a third-class university that people did not know about, but the country where it was possible to get into Harvard through personal connections.

Of course, it is not for everyone, and it is a method of giving admission tickets to the children of graduates who have made an appropriate level of donation to the school.

Right now, Trump’s son-in-law, Kushner, is also suspicious, not suspicious, of being admitted to Harvard in that way.

If it was Korea, there would have been an uproar. It is a country where criticism from all the people pours in even if you enter a medium-sized company through your personal network, let alone a university or public official. It makes me wonder if Korea is probably the most fair country in the world.

However, Europe is one step higher than the US.

Networks are still gained through hard work, but many things are determined by the class that comes from blood ties.

With the exception of a few countries such as France, nobles still exist, and such nobles make up a significant portion of the country’s wealth and control the national economy.

All aristocrats have enormous real estate, and they occupy various important positions through blood connections, such as owning a bank as a family business or as a major shareholder.

“Sara has decided to attend a fashion show in New York this time. I was supposed to meet him on the way back, but she showed interest in the boss.”

Joanna said with a meaningful smile.

Sarah Delbian is an actress who started her career as a fashion model in Europe and entered Hollywood.

Although she still has a significant position as a model, she is currently focusing on actors rather than models.

Although she has not yet appeared in a huge box office, her unique and attractive mask has already nurtured a large number of fans regardless of the film’s performance.

Because of her beauty and near-perfect body that is comparable to any other actress in Hollywood, she is being evaluated that there is no woman who can be compared, at least in terms of external appearance. The problem is that his acting skills don’t always improve…

“It is an honor. Personally, I am a fan of Sarah Delvian.”

“Really? So that’s good. Is it okay if I invite you to this party?”

“Sure.”

Eugene is also personally interested in her.

Of course, not as an attractive woman, but because of her future actions.

In the next few years, she will achieve great success as an actress. At last, she was lucky enough to appear in a high-quality film as a lead role, to receive Best Actress at several film festivals, to finally be recognized as an actress, and to succeed in several blockbuster films after that, and she will stand at the forefront of the list of Hollywood’s leading actresses.

However, as a celebrity and as a scandal maker, Sarah leaves a lot of ripples.

It’s not like I’m having trouble with men in particular.

It was always her mouth that didn’t seem to go through any filters at all that made the issue.

“You are a very nice person. It’s the first time I’ve seen a handsome Asian like Eugene Kang.”

The first Sarah I met was not the crazy woman Eugene knew.

Dressed in an evening dress with exposed shoulders, Sarah was using elegant behavior and language like a young girl from an aristocratic family.

In particular, the pronunciation of the strong British accent suits him very well.

“I have always been a fan of Sarah. Anne was particularly impressive in the Tudor scandal.”

“My body was impressive. Were you sad that only the back side came out?”

Sarah asked with a wink.

As I heard, it seems like a woman who has nothing to hide.

“When regrets remain, cravings increase.”

“Then shall I satisfy that longing?”

Sara asked, lowering the top of her dress slightly.

“If there is an opportunity, I am welcome.”

Eugene answered Sarah’s deep joke without embarrassment.

“You are a fun person.”

Sarah lowered her hand and smirked.

“I was really curious. I mean what kind of person you are. Do you know how hot Eugene is in Hollywood right now?”

“Did you? I’ve never been to Hollywood.”

“You said you have already invested a lot of money in over 20 films this year alone? They are all very controversial films.”

“I am very interested in the film industry. Miss Sarah doesn’t seem to have any plans to appear in a movie for a while.”

“Unfortunately, there is no one to call.”

Sarah wept slightly.

“I don’t like any of the works that come in contact.”

“If there is any work you are interested in, please contact me. I really want to invest.”

“Really?”

Sarah smiled broadly.

“Oh yeah! I have something to tell you. My father said that I was meeting Eugene today, so when did he say he wanted to see him?”

Sarah blinked and said.

Apparently, this is the purpose of her visit.

Even if not, there are countless investors and bankers who ask Eugene to meet.

Of course, Eugene was not leisurely enough to accept it all.

Sara’s father seems to want to meet Eugene through Joanna.

“If it’s Sa-yang’s request, we’ll make time for it.”

Of course, Eugene had a different purpose.

“I got a call from Lynn Manuel Miranda. I’d like to stop by the Richard Rogers Theatre. If you tell me the date, I will arrange a seat for you.”

“Come to think of it, Hamilton didn’t go to Broadway. Contact us to get a suitable date. really! Did Monica see Hamilton?”

“Not yet. Don’t you know that getting tickets is really picking stars in the sky?”

The musical Hamilton, which finally came to Broadway in August, was really popular.

Two months after the show started, more than half a year’s worth of tickets have already been sold out, and on the day of the performance, there was a long line of people waiting in front of the theater to see if they could get a cancellation ticket.

They are zealous fans who don’t mind if they don’t mind if they don’t get a cancellation ticket at the time of the performance even after sitting on the street all day waiting.

“Tickets start at as little as $1,000. You have to pay $2,000 for a decent seat. If you two go, $5,000 is lost.”

It seems that Monica, who receives a high salary, is also burdened.

“I want to go too.”

After Hamilton’s story, Joanna appeared out of nowhere and intervened.

“Then shall we go see Joanna too? Ummm… how many seats can you get?”

Even if no one knew about it, he seemed to be paying attention as an investor.

He was the one who invited me to come anyway.

“Then let me ask you one more question.”

Monica was suddenly excited, picked up her phone and said:

“OK! I got up to four seats. Then who will take one seat?”

Monica, who was talking with excitement, was unable to continue as she saw all the attention in the office focused on her.

“It is probably not enough to have your seat.”

Eugene also stopped at the sight of people’s eyes burning.

“I do this. Everyone seems to be interested in Hamilton, so I’ll try to get a ticket for everyone.”

“Wow!”

“As expected, boss!”

“Really? Sure!”

When Eugene immediately declared a gift for the employees, cheers erupted on the spot.

Somehow, he seemed to like it more than a bonus payment.

“Of course, I can’t promise when that will be. Still, if possible, we try to get two copies per person within this year.”

Cheers erupted again.

“But is it possible?”

Eugene was the first to say something unsure of himself.

“Ah… no matter how hard the boss is, wouldn’t it be difficult?”

Monica said skeptically.

“If not, you should buy a ticket.”

That Friday evening, Eugene and the three watched Hamilton at the Richard Rogers Theater.

“Today’s performance was great. I’m sorry I couldn’t come to the first Broadway show.”

After the performance, I met Linmanuel Miranda, who made this work backstage and is playing the lead role, Hamilton.

“you’re welcome. I am just happy to have found you again. Thanks to that, I spent no money on marketing.”

Eugene invested a large amount in the musical Hamilton performance.

It was more than the sum of all the investments he had received from other people up to that point, and he placed a much lower condition as he was ranked second.

What. For Eugene, it was a bit of pocket money, but in the musical world, it would have been close to a lump of money.

Hamilton’s production team upgraded the stage with Eugene’s investment and freely allocated marketing expenses.

“It is thanks to Eugene Kang that the audience likes it so much.”

It was a formal greeting, but it wouldn’t have helped at all.

“Is it possible? It was the greatest musical I have ever seen.”

Hamilton is the hottest musical right now. It was considered not only as a hit musical, but as a cultural phenomenon.

The perfection of the musical itself is of course great, but it is also thanks to the fact that it fits the current trend.

As it deals with the story of the founding fathers, it is of course the most American and patriotic.

At the same time, actors of color played the founding fathers, who were all white at the time, and led the play in hip-hop and rap battles, adequately satisfying the tastes of modern Americans.

It is a work that does not show much sympathy and is not particularly interesting for foreigners who have visited New York to appreciate it, but it is truly a hip piece for New Yorkers.

In particular, the love of the politicians for Hamilton was amazing.

As if watching this musical is to show affection for the United States, it is essential for any famous politician to appreciate it, and leave a word one by one.

In particular, President Obama’s interest and affection for Hamilton is famous.

Even before Manuel Miranda premiered Hamilton, he invited him to a White House event and gave him a chance to perform, even taking his daughters Malia and Sasha to an off-Broadway show.

And recently, in preparation for the upcoming presidential election, he was planning to watch a Hamilton performance once again and even hold a fundraiser there.

As Eugene’s first investment in the cultural world, there is no other work like this.

Due to the great success of the musical Hamilton, countless articles were published in the media, and each time the production team and actors passed by and mentioned Eugene’s name.

Instead of a small dividend, that was what Eugene requested.

In the past few months, the musical Hamilton has been reported hundreds of times in various media, and Eugene’s name has also appeared quite a bit.

Moreover, Hamilton’s popularity is only just beginning. If Hamilton’s popularity continues in the future, Eugene’s name will continue to be mentioned.

For Eugene, it is more than just a distribution of musical profits.

If it’s an ordinary musical, it may be worth doing, but if it’s a work that stimulates American patriotism, it’s a different story.

“I enjoyed today’s performance!”

As I was talking to Miranda, I heard a lively female voice from behind.

“ah! Elizabeth. You are here.”

Miranda pretends to know and waves her hand.

Eugene also turns and looks at the approaching woman. She is a woman in her 40s with colored skin.

“Is that Eugene Kang?”

Before Eugene can even say hello, the other person recognizes them first.

“you’re right. Elizabeth Schultz.”

Eugene smiled softly and said hello.

“Nice to meet you. I guess you knew me. Are you happy somehow?”

The woman smiled and held out her hand.

“Sure. If you live in New York and don’t know Senator Schultz, it doesn’t make sense.”

Elizabeth Schultz, a U.S. Senator from New York State and Democratic Policy Committee member, is a representative of the young blood of the Democrats.

And more importantly, four years from now, he will be running as the president’s running mate in the Democratic presidential election.

Even if not, I was going to make friends with Elizabeth. it went very well

“I have a social gathering with people who support me this time. May I politely invite you?”

Elizabeth asks first.

“Sure. We will be happy to see you.”

Eugene smiled and replied.

– This month, 400 million won was spent on special promotion.

“Will that work? It’s working in English, but it’s less than you think, right?”

Even after receiving a request for special expenses from Sejong PR’s Cheol-woo, Eugene asked if it was not enough.

– It’s work in the Philippines anyway. Do you know the labor cost there?

“okay. Are you sure about security?”

– Sure. Everyone works through it, no problem. Anyway, neither me nor my side is revealed, and that is a local business, so it is not under the jurisdiction of the Korean prosecutor’s office.

“But do it safely if you can.”

– don’t worry. Just in case, I’ll cover it all up. Are you taking care of our family until the end? The world’s richest person is in the background, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. heh heh

Cheolwoo says it like a joke.

“okay. Sejong Planning should also go to a world-class public relations company once?”

– okay. Until then, don’t work with the lights on your eyes.

As always, Cheol-woo happily hung up the phone.

bang!

“What is it that makes the US sales drop so much?”

One day in October, there were shouts from the Daeyang Motors representative office.

“It was influenced by the Volkswagen Dieselgate.”

Daeyang Motors Americas vice president bowed his head and explained.

“Other automakers are benefitting from Dieselgate, so why are we falling further? That doesn’t make sense! How many diesel cars are we selling in the US? How many more SUVs do you have?”

“It is, but…”

The vice president seldom speaks out in a cool way.

“Then what? Isn’t it because you guys aren’t doing your job properly? What do marketers do? Shouldn’t the advertisement be hotter at times like this?”

“Advertising has more than doubled compared to before. It also promised to increase the cost of promotions to dealers. However······.”

“But what?”

“The image of Daeyang Motors in the US is not very good right now.”

“Why Daeyang Motors? It has nothing to do with Dieselgate, right?”

The vice president of America cautiously opened his mouth to the question of the president of Daeyang Motors, who seemed to still not understand the English language.

“That… it was Kang Yu-jin who broke the diesel gate this time…”

“Are you that child again?”

“yes. But somehow, he became a little popular in the United States, and the media even published an article about Kang Yu-jin’s personal history, and as a result, the story of our ocean came out…”

“what?”

The president of Daeyang Motors finally realized how things were going.

“therefore? Are you even doing a boycott?”

“The image of Daeyang Motors as well as the entire Daeyang Group is not very good right now. There is even a meme circulating about the immoral company, the cuckoo company. Even if it is an American company, it is an Asian automobile company, so it has no choice but to be sensitive to such changes in its image.”

“Memes? That again… no. Anyway, is that kid that great?”

“As an Asian, it is said that the world’s richest person is right in front of us, and it seems that we also got a good image from Dieselgate.”

“Damn it!”

“As you can see, photos of Daeyang Group products and cuckoo photos are spreading on the Internet.”

The vice president picked up his smartphone and showed him a picture of a new Daeyang Motors car with a cuckoo picture on it.

“It’s not just this, but a wide variety of photos are spreading rapidly. Probably…”

“Maybe?”

“It feels more like a tactic than just a fad. It’s very widespread, and the amount is unusually high.”

“That kid did it!”

The president’s voice rose again.

“But there is no evidence and there is no certainty, which is a big problem.”

“therefore? What is the solution?”

“If you don’t do something, you can get really in trouble. Not just automobiles, but electronics as well. That might be a bigger problem. In the case of automobiles, they are pushing for price competitiveness anyway, but the electronics are on the high-middle side…”

“Is the former the problem now? my company! Daeyang Automobile! What are you going to do?”

The vice president of America is sweating at the fiery shouting.

“I have no idea what to do right now. There is already a lot of testimony from the guy in court, so if we don’t reconsider the image of the Daeyang Group, the damage in America will be huge.”

“therefore? just let it go? Until you perish?”

“The only thing we can do right now is to sell at an extraordinary discount. Even if there is an image of immorality, if the price is low, it will be sold.”

“You stupid bastard! What the hell is the loss because of that child, Sunggyu!”
