Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

At the same time, another subject was present at the event.

“Nice to meet you. Wally Adeyemo.”

Eugene first asked a black man who looked too young to take on the heavy duty of deputy director of the National Economic Council.

“Five! nice to meet you Mr. Trillian!”

He smiled and extended his hand to Eugene.

“Section 1 is an exaggeration. Mr. Adeyemo.”

“Even if it’s an exaggeration, even half of that would terrify people. Eugene Kang will go down in history as the greatest gambler in the history of mankind.”

“My gamble is not over yet.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to buy it from the US?”

“I have no intention of living in America. But I want to leave a legacy as great as possible while I’m still alive. It’s not just about making money, it’s a monumental legacy that can benefit many people.”

Eugene was joking and revealed aspirations.

“That’s a great plan. Bill, too, has been making his dream come true since he reached middle age. With Eugene Kang, you can achieve more even when you are younger.”

“Call me Eugene.”

“Then please call me Wally too. This Wally is very easy to find.”

As if he didn’t think too badly of Eugene, Wally added a light joke.

Eugene and Wally chatted for a while.

“Now Obama’s time is almost coming to an end. May I ask a question about Wally’s plans?”

“Hmm… … You’re coming in all of a sudden.”

Wally was a little confused.

“Actually, I have a very deep interest in Wally. This time, we are planning a research center.”

Eugene decided to establish an institution that would act as a think tank separate from the current organization.

It will become a research institute that invites scholars from various fields and important figures in the political world to provide high salaries, and predicts the flow of the global economy and the future based on their diverse experiences.

Right now, the number of researchers that we have decided to expand as a research center is about a thousand people.

It is probably the largest of Eugene’s institutions.

“It’s kind of a think tank.”

Wally immediately recognized Eugene’s intentions.

In the United States, thousands of think tanks organized by numerous corporations, media companies, and politicians conduct research in various fields, sometimes sending policy messages through the media to lead politics and the media.

It was not unusual for a wealthy like Eugene to create a think tank.

BlackRock, a wealth management company, also runs BlackRock Investment Institute, which frequently recruits various outside personnel.

“We haven’t decided on a name yet. And I couldn’t even invite someone to take charge of the operation of the think tank.”

“Are you sure you are not suggesting such a position to me?”

Wally showed off her white teeth and gave a charming smile.

“Why not? The lab is still under preparation, so I hope you will think about it slowly.”

“Well… … I know Eugene is friends with Trump.”

It meant he was reluctant because of that.

“Of course, Mr. Trump is a good business partner. However, the laboratory will be run by researchers and the research director’s doctor. I am only responsible for the financial part.”

“Is that institute going to be a legacy for the many people Eugene spoke of?”

“It will probably be part of that legacy.”

At Eugene’s words, Adeyemo thought for a moment.

“If Hillary takes over the White House, I think I will stay here.”

A black man from Nigeria, who is only in his 30’s, said something outrageous, but it wasn’t so wrong.

Wally Adeyemo is an under-represented, but very powerful man in the Obama administration.

From Senior Advisor and Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Treasury, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Markets and Development, and National Security Adviser, he has been loved by President Obama as well as several Democrats.

Eugene knows that under the Trump administration, he was recruited by BlackRock and served as chief of staff and senior adviser to President Larry Pink before returning to the White House when the Democrats came to power again.

At the age of just under forty, he took on a key position as undersecretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

His brilliance is recognized not only by the White House, but also by many Democrats.

It’s no wonder Hillary has already made an offer for him, as he seeks to become the next president of the White House.

The reason BlackRock scouted Adeyemo was for the same purpose as Eugene. This is because they anticipate the fact that he will be an important person when the Democratic Party comes to power.

“I think so too. No matter who becomes the next president, there is no reason not to covet Mr. Adeyemo. However… … I don’t think he’s my friend.”

It would be the same for any other Republican other than Trump. But Trump values his sons, daughters, and son-in-law far more than bringing in capable people, even if not necessarily Democrats.

“haha. That’s it. If Eugene’s friend really wins, I’ll seriously think about it.”

“I hope you will.”

Eugene intends to recruit Adeyemo somehow. And to be honest, it didn’t seem that difficult.

As long as there is sufficient financial support and a guarantee for the future, in the end, it is not impossible to recruit anyone from the United States.

So, I was able to go ahead with the recruitment more daringly.

So there are more people who move from the White House to Black Rock and again from Black Rock to the White House.

“Oh yeah! I would appreciate it if you could pass my suggestion on to Brian Deeds as well.”

“Diz too?”

Adeyemo is slightly surprised.

Brian Christopher Deeds, along with Wally Adeyemo, is one of the most representative young powers of the White House.

Responsible for coordinating the development of the White House’s policies on taxes, financial regulation, housing, clean energy, manufacturing and the automotive industry, acting as aide for climate and energy, responsible for negotiating the Paris climate, arguably the president’s greatest prerogative. It has an impact on the selection of judges.

He was also recruited to BlackRock along with Adeyemo under the Trump administration, and under the next administration, he will assume an important role as economic policy adviser to the president and director of the National Economic Council.

“Like Brian, I take the global climate crisis very seriously. I would appreciate it if you could tell me at any time that you would like to have a serious discussion with Brian about the future of humanity.”

Of course, Eugene intends to recruit Brian as well if possible.

“You certainly seem to have a completely different view than your friend Trump.”

Wally quickly understood Eugene’s intention to bring up Brian’s story.

“I’m getting more and more interested in Eugene. I hope we can have a good relationship in the future.”

“I hope so.”

Eugene somehow got the feeling that getting Adeyemo wouldn’t be too difficult.

And after a while, Eugene was able to get Eric’s consent while he was in Washington.

“Looking back, you would think it was definitely the right choice.”

“I wish I could be like that. I think my family likes it more than me.”

Eugene decided to provide a luxury home in Manhattan for Eric Holder and his wife.

“I’m thinking of buying a luxury condo.”

Upon returning to New York, Eugene ordered the REITs team to purchase the property.

“A condo?”

To diversify its asset portfolio, the newly formed REITs team was first tasked with purchasing a large New York building.

“It’s a place to provide people who will be recruiting to the Center for Economic Research.”

In order to bring in not only the Erics, but also influential political figures with roots in Washington, I thought that I had to provide a decent place to live.

And now is the perfect time to buy an expensive New York home.

“All right. If it’s a high-end condo, wouldn’t it be better to look around this area?”

“If possible, it would be better to collect them nearby. If you think about security and security, etc.”

“If possible, we’ll get the whole building out.”

After giving the order, this time the security department is concerned.

I thought I should consider acquiring a security company or strengthening cooperation with the academy, a company of bodyguards who are now helping Eugene.

“There is a little bit of criticism about the results of this investment.”

Not everything always goes in the right direction.

In the United States, there are not many critics of financial investment returns, but since the global financial crisis induced by the mortgages, public dissatisfaction has been formed about the excessive profits of Wall Street.

“There is a strong tendency to do so, mainly from the voices of the Democratic Party. Probably because of the relationship between the boss and Trump.”

“It is unavoidable. Because if you make money, someone will get a stomach ache.”

In this case, there is no specific reason to criticize Eugene. It was the British people who caused the crisis, and Eugene was simply betting that the British people would choose Brexit.

However, some media displeased with Trump tried to attack Trump by demonizing Eugene’s success.

“I think the trillion-dollar article was the problem.”

It was a symbolic issue. There’s a huge difference between saying just made a lot of money and saying it’s a trillion dollars.

One trillion dollars is said in one place, and one trillion dollars are shouting everywhere.

I don’t know if he really made a trillion dollars, but for Eugene who earned less than half that amount, it can only be unfair.

“Is it the New York Daily News?”

The New York Daily News, a tabloid newspaper representing the United States along with the New York Post, mainly deals with gossip or provocative reports of New York celebrities, but sometimes causes problems with excessively sensational articles.

This time, he said that he achieved a record number of sales with an article related to Eugene.

“yes. Shouldn’t I be protesting?”

“Protest… … Doesn’t that mean nothing?”

“Of course it is.”

Joanna said with a bitter expression on her face.

“Then should I use another method?”

“Another way?”

Joanna asked with a curious expression.

[As a result of the British referendum, the UK’s exit from the European Union, the so-called Brexit, was decided, and stock markets around the world plunged all at once. It is known that the stock price of 2.3 trillion dollars evaporated in one day, which is an astronomical amount close to 3,000 trillion won in Korean money.]

[The Korean stock market also could not avoid this aftermath, so the KOSPI broke the 1,900 line during the day, and the KOSDAQ sidecar was triggered. On that day, a whopping 60 trillion won evaporated in market capitalization alone.]

News was streaming from a large monitor installed on the platform of Gangnam Express Bus Terminal.

People waiting for the car to get on were watching the news with serious faces. A decline in stock prices is not welcomed by anyone.

[On the other hand, Mr. Kang Yu-jin, an investor active in the United States, is known to have made a huge profit by investing a large amount of money in favor of Brexit in advance. According to the New York Daily News, this investment has made about $1 trillion in profits.]

“How lucky are you?”

A group of older men looked at it and began to say a word at a time.

“Is that going to be luck? He said he made a thousand trillion in one day.”

“Does Cheonjo make sense?”

“Where else can you go? It was reported in an American newspaper.”

“Are all American newspapers real?”

“Then do you know that American newspapers are just reporting fake news like Korean newspapers? What a scary country America is. If one misinformation is made, the company will go bankrupt due to lawsuits.”

“The Korean media should do the same. I want them to see how they can publish articles as they please and take no responsibility.”

People are starting to criticize the Korean media all of a sudden. Of course, the basis for the criticism is not very consistent, but even at this time, the antipathy towards the Korean media was already considerable.

Meanwhile, the news has turned into a new tap.

This time, it was a report about Eugene.

[According to the new news, Yoojin Kang has decided to take over the New York Daily News. The New York Daily News, America’s first tabloid daily, once boasted the largest number of circulations in the United States, but with the Internet era, sales and advertising revenues deteriorated, so it is said that the newspaper company was being sold. In response, Yoojin Kang, a Korean who is known as the world’s best refusal, has announced his ambition to open an era of glory as before by taking over the traditional New York Daily News.]

Everyone who was watching the news at the somewhat unexpected news blinked with bewildered expressions.

And among them was a woman with sharp eyes staring at Eugene’s picture on the screen.

Unlike the others, the woman who had been watching the news quietly got up from her seat when Eugene’s article was finished and quickly walked to get on the bus.

No one paid any attention to a man wearing a black hat chasing behind such a woman.

“I never thought I would buy the New York Daily News.”

Joanna said with a puzzled expression.

“When I think about it, it seems that there are quite a few talented reporters.”

Eugene never bought the New York Daily News in retaliation. Rather, it was the opposite.

“Even if it is a yellow press, it is true that it has power. In a matter of days, the boss had completely hardened into a trillion-dollar man.”

“That’s it. There must be a few such media.”

The press that Eugene needs is not the kind that reveals the truth through in-depth coverage of accurate information.

Even more important is the ability to effectively communicate the desired message to people.

This incident made it clear that the tabloids had a far greater impact than newspapers such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal.

In that sense, I believed that the acquisition of the New York Daily News would be well worth it.

The world’s news all starts in New York, and getting your hands on New York’s most sensational newspaper will help fight public opinion.

“From now on, I will try to get all the newspapers and broadcasters that are for sale.”

“Are you thinking of starting a newsgroup?”

“It’s not bad to have at least one newsgroup.”

“Of course not. In many ways.”

Joanna immediately understood.
