Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

Gina Min. Her Korean name is Jin-ah Min, a second-generation Korean, and she is an unusual woman who grew up in an ordinary immigrant family.

No one would hesitate to call her a genius, since ordinary people went to college when they were graduating from elementary school, and since ordinary people have already obtained their doctorate at the age they would enter college.

Gina, who majored in biotechnology at MIT and received a doctorate in microbiology at Caltech, was offered a professorship at Caltech as soon as she received her degree.

But instead of standing in the church, she decided to take the adventure of a lifetime.

It was just that he decided to start his own business.

For that reason, he has been focusing on research for several years now in a warehouse in Pasadena, not far from Caltech.

“Did you say that you have the most money in the world? He is a capitalist who only cares about his own interests.”

Before Eugene made any proposals to her, she could already see that Jin-ah had ugly hair.

Not because of the scandal with her lover, but because of her friendship with Trump.

“He may not be the richest person in the world. Because there are a lot of undiscovered rich people in the world. He was a capitalist, but he didn’t do anything evil.”

Eugene lightly protests.

“Are you friends with Trump? Did you know that Trump is also against the climate deal? Trump is the man who will ruin this country and the planet.”

Her demeanor isn’t particularly radical.

Many of America’s intellectuals had a near-hatred antipathy towards Trump and the anti-intellectualism he supported.

In particular, Trump’s racist remarks and his denial of global warming are the main causes of such antipathy.

And when Trump becomes president, he puts America’s climate policy back to pre-2000, as he said.

But you can’t put all the blame on Trump.

Trump was just a phenomenon, not a cause.

Americans welcome global warming.

Not all Americans, but at least Republicans and their supporters of Republicans do.

In the 2000 presidential election, George W. Bush campaigned that global warming was good for America, and the Americans supported him.

So is Trump.

Shortly after becoming president, Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement.

Although numerous scientists and intellectuals opposed the decision, nearly half of Americans welcomed his decision.

Even companies that emit carbon dioxide oppose the decision. This is because, in the Trump era, they were concerned that if the regulations on carbon dioxide emissions were eased, they would return to much larger regulations in the future.

Moreover, the development of various industrial technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions means the birth of a new business stage.

In other words, it is money.

Entrepreneurs have no reason to shy away from such new opportunities.

But Americans at this point wanted to express their ignorance freely through Trump.

“Gina, Eugene is not that bad. Trump and I are just business friends.”

“That’s the problem. That man is helping Trump become president. If Trump becomes president, this country will ruin the planet even more.”

“Looks like you think Trump is going to be president.”

Eugene asked with a funny expression.

“Because this country is full of idiots.”

Gina seemed to know the power of the anti-intellectualists very well.

“I like you.”

Eugene expressed her honest feelings. She is definitely a smart woman.

“Certainly, Trump and his supporters will make the planet hotter. That is why I am here.”

“Are you trying to ruin my research?”

Gina seems to think of Eugene as a devil trying to ruin the prevention of global warming.

“Eugene came to invest in Gina.”

Sarah once again pleaded for Eugene.

“Investment?”

“Because I think the research I’m doing now will help prevent global warming.”

We are researching a way to capture carbon dioxide from the air by using microbes passing through.

Global warming is actually a problem that threatens the survival of mankind, but it is not a completely insoluble disaster.

Even now, numerous scientists and companies are trying to come up with measures to prevent global warming.

In addition, there are still sufficient means to prevent global warming.

It is possible to solve the problem to some extent by building a bunch of factories that capture carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The problem is economics.

To build tens of thousands of capture plants around the globe, it would require enormous financial resources.

When we start discussing who should pay for it, there is always a conflict between developed and developing countries.

“Eugene promised to invest a huge amount in Gina’s research. I will give you any money you need. What we need the most right now is money. To save the planet.”

Sarah smiled softly.

“no.”

But Gina refused at once.

“no. I can’t take that person’s investment. My research is to save the world. But his purpose is different from mine. I want to make money from my research.”

That’s right. Eugene is thinking of making money with Gina’s research.

“Did you always tell me? My research should be open to the world.”

Gina said in protest.

And Eugene knows that she will keep her word.

After the Trump era is over, he completes his research a few years later.

Her technology, which uses microorganisms to capture carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to produce hydrogen, is more economical than any carbon capture technology that has come out before.

Microorganisms living in water capture carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and decompose water to produce hydrogen, and the captured carbon dioxide creates a highly viscous polymer.

Hydrogen produced here can be used as clean energy, and by-product polymer compounds can be used as cement.

Most importantly, economically, it cost only a few dozen dollars to capture a ton of carbon dioxide.

Considering the value of the by-products produced here, the business feasibility is high and even the cause of preventing global warming can be obtained.

From a business owner’s point of view, it is an item that creates great added value.

However, Gina discloses the results of this innovative research to the world free of charge.

With a statement that he doesn’t want the results of his research to be a disappointment for some entrepreneurs.

“You don’t know when the research results will come out, and you don’t know how much money is needed, but you’re going to give up all the benefits of the results and disclose them for the benefit of mankind?”

“okay. My research cannot be reduced to a means of generating revenue for some companies. If American corporations privatize it, poor countries will eventually pay an unfair price for how to solve it without taking responsibility for global warming.”

Gina’s mere self-will is not the only way to think like that. She knew all too well the greed of the people who run businesses.

“It’s a wonderful dream. If only that could be the case. But if Gina’s research bears fruit and is made public for free, it won’t go the way you think it will. Companies in some developed countries will use the results of your research to file new patents and privatize the most economical methods.”

“what?”

“Because producing microorganisms does not solve everything. It takes a lot of capital and technology to mass-produce it and turn it into a business tool. Few places have that kind of capital and technology. Eventually, some companies in the US, Europe, and China will monopolize it.”

Eugene was well aware that Gina’s research results would eventually only win the ships of a few companies and countries, regardless of her intentions.

Of course, Gina’s research will make a significant contribution to turning the Earth back from warming to normal.

However, as she had hoped, her technology did not benefit all mankind equally.

Her research was arguably too effective a way to combat global warming, but that was the problem.

It receives large amounts of subsidies from governments around the world by capturing carbon dioxide, produces hydrogen, a clean fuel, in large quantities, and as a by-product, creates a raw material to replace cement.

What company wouldn’t be coveted by such a splendid business?

Several companies moved quickly, and various technologies and patents were filed to support her research.

And in the end, as Eugene said, companies from some developed countries dominate the industry.

Eugene also works for an American company and has been involved in the construction of such plant factories, so he knows how things will go.

The Americas were dominated by American companies, the African continent was dominated by a few European companies, and in Asia, China was the fastest-moving.

In exchange for building the plant, developing countries had to pay a huge price to such advanced countries.

Even though developed countries are the victims of global warming, it is developed countries that have accelerated the warming, as Jin-ah said.

“If you can seize not only microbes but also patents related to all production, then you will be able to share the benefits fairly with the world.”

I stared at Eugene without saying a word.

She knows it well too. Gina is an expert in microbiology and biotechnology, not familiar with plant design.

Naturally, he knows that in order to put his research to practical use, he needs skills in various fields.

For a long time, he just stared at Eugene silently.

Eugene could sense in her eyes the fact that Gina herself had not at all thought about the future Eugene spoke of.

However, some people give up their interests even though they know the future. that’s the dreamer

They valued even the slightest bit of benefit to the world far more important than personal gain.

And those dreamers sometimes really change the world.

In that sense, Gina will become a successful dreamer.

“Still not. Are you saying that in the end you will get all those profits in your hands?”

Gina is a dreamer, but not an idiot who knows how much benefit her research will bring.

no. On the contrary, you probably know it better than anyone else.

Wealth that can be achieved through technologies that solve global warming and produce alternative energy.

Because he knows it well, he doesn’t want to make the profit go to only a few.

“That’s right. I want to take advantage of Gina’s research.”

Eugene had no intention of lying to the intelligent Gina.

“But I have no intention of taking the researcher’s stake. I’ll fund the research, and I’ll acknowledge your stake. Sarah and Gina I’ll create a foundation in your name to collect a portion of the profits from the business. It’s probably not a small amount of money. Maybe it will raise more than the Bill Gates Foundation. With that, you can make your dreams come true. And when the project goes on, we promise that we will strive to ensure that both developed and developing countries receive equal benefits.”

“Eugene is a capitalist, but he’s not the kind of person to overturn his words.”

Sarah tried to convince Gina again.

But Gina is still staring at Eugene.

“Give me a moment.”

Sarah blinked at Eugene.

“Do that.”

Eugene left the office and left the two of them.

From here on, it’s Sarah’s role. It was for this reason that Eugene needed Sarah.

She is a stubborn woman who hardly communicates with other people, but she knew that she only listened to Sarah.

Alone, Eugene waited for the end of their story while watching the crude experimental facilities in the huge warehouse from afar.

After a while, Sarah called Eugene again.

Upon entering the office, two women with tears on their faces are waiting for Eugene.

Eugene somehow guessed what had happened between the two of them.

“Are you really trying to convince my dad and mom?”

Gina was still crooked, but asked in a much softer voice than before.

“Sure. I will convince the two of you to arrange the wedding of Gina and Sarah. Of course, make sure you both attend the wedding.”

This is the condition Eugene put forward.

Although now American, Gina’s parents are still of Korean blood.

It’s not easy for an intelligent daughter to fall in love with another woman and to accept that she wants to marry her.

Although she was not afraid of the world, she also inherited Korean blood.

She wanted a marriage blessed by her parents.

She didn’t even have the courage to marry Sarah without her parents’ permission. till now.

“Of course we need some time. But right now, I guarantee you two a much more comfortable life than ever before.”

“If you lie, you die.”

Gina looked at Eugene and said.

“Sure. I don’t lie.”

Eugene knows that Sarah and Gina will eventually get married.

I don’t know, but in the end, no parent wins over their children.

no. True, there is, but they weren’t Gina’s parents.

It was when Gina completed her research successfully and was appreciated by the world, when Sarah made a wonderful career as an actress.

First of all, the atmosphere in the United States about minority marriages will change significantly over the next few years.

Besides, there is another background that makes Eugene so confident.

“G.A.’s parents like Eugene very much. They said it was the hope of Koreans who came to America.”

That’s what Sarah was suggesting.

Hagi is rare among Korean Americans these days who don’t like Eugene.

Whenever Eugene’s name was mentioned once, many people thought that the status of Korean Americans would increase.

Eugene already has an absolute fandom of over a million.

Gina’s parents were one of them.

“Then, has the deal been concluded?”

“Sarah and my foundation… … make sure that too And keep all the promises you’ve made.”

“Sure. If I don’t keep even one of them, can I just cancel the contract?”

Eugene could see that it had already passed and passed completely.

All that’s left is to meet Gina’s parents and even sign autographs.
