Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 67

“Huh. I mean, what the hell does that little girl know?”

The road to the airport.

My head was full of things about Prince Halman.

only 15 years old.

Nevertheless, he has a strong interest in the defense field, and he knew everything about Jaewoo, and he was also interested in most of the weapons we produce.

“·················ogue.”

It wasn’t just that that was absurd.

It was that little boy who initially insisted on the introduction of the K9.

It was something I could never even imagine, so I couldn’t even utter a word at the time.

– I hope that there will be good exchanges in the future.

His unfriendly demeanor was truly disgusting.

It was as if he knew his future.

The way of thinking is completely different from other Western boys and Korean students.

‘Is it because of the nature of the royal family?’

Maybe it is.

It is not well known, but the power struggle of the Saudi royal family was almost comparable to that of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea.

Life itself is different from ordinary people, so it wouldn’t be strange if I realized the world at an early age.

Follow me!

As I was deep in thought, my phone rang.

The number I looked at at first glance was an unfamiliar pattern.

As soon as I got off at the airport yesterday, I called Ryan, and it’s probably the call that tells the result of that request.

– Hey, Hyunseung.

The prediction was correct.

Listening to his voice, still in tension, makes me laugh out loud.

[How is it?][Finding people can be difficult. The person you’re talking about, Eberhard, appears to be living in Palo Alto, western California.]

It was surprising again.

I asked for it just two days ago.

Considering that he was far from a job looking for people in the first place, this was too fast.

His great abilities cannot be denied by this.

[But why are you looking for someone called Ever Hard?][Maybe he will be the person who will change the world.][··········.]

Ryan was silent as if surprised.

He knew my style of not joking, which was shocking.

In the subsequent questions, the tension definitely dropped.

[I don’t know what’s going on, but seeing you say things like that, you don’t look like a normal person. So, are you planning to visit it yourself?][I guess so.][When are you coming?]

I thought about that for a while.

After all, there is no reason to see him right away.

This is especially true when all-solid-state batteries have not yet become a reality.

However, as we procrastinated the time, an anxiety factor came to mind.

A history that keeps twisting.

I don’t know how history will change in the meantime.

‘The problem is that it’s difficult to miss him…’

I needed him for two reasons.

At least, he is a person who already has in his head the fundamental development direction of the electric vehicle market.

And the second was from his desire to develop a true high-power motor through him, but unfortunately it is not so easy to find an engineer with that ability in this era.

[Let’s go straight from here.]

The moment I thought about it, I made a decision.

[Flying straight from Saudi Arabia to the US?]

Embarrassed, Ryan immediately mobilized all means for my entry, and I decided to stay a few more days at a hotel near the airport, delaying my flight to Korea.

-President, why the sudden schedule?

Secretary Kim was very embarrassed by my sudden change of schedule.

Well, it was almost the first time something like this had happened.

Moreover, it must have been more difficult for her because she did not reveal her clear purpose immediately.

smart!

While talking to Secretary Kim for a while, someone knocked on the hotel door.

“Chairman, Crown Prince Hasad has arrived.”

The next thing I heard was the news of Hasad’s visit.

It seems that I have just heard the rumor that I have delayed my return.

[What are you doing here?][I came to hear the news that I will be staying in Saudi Arabia for a few more days. Still, it bothered me to send it out in a hurry, but I think it would be nice if we could share some of the stories we couldn’t finish over dinner if possible.][··········.]

*******

[Are there any concerns?]

When I saw myself cracking my fork, Hassad came to me.

My head was full of thoughts about Ever Hard the whole time.

With an awkward smile on his face, he smiles softly and continues the conversation again.

[By the way, if you have already set foot in the Middle East, why not stop by the UAE? It’s not a place without a relationship with Jaewoo anyway, so I’m saying it because it’s better than spending time again.][Visit to UAE is scheduled separately at the end of the year. Since the final delivery date of HVP is at that time, I want to check the operation status at that time.][i See. If you do, you will have to prepare well before going.][Are you ready?]

He tilted his head at his last words.

With a slight smile, he put down the bread he was holding in his hand and looked straight at me.

[Actually, Prince Mohammed was very interested in Jaewoo. Because of that, I think that the UAE’s Investment Agency may officially propose an investment to Jaewoo Group soon.][··········.]

In fact, that was quite a possibility.

Oil-rich countries in the Middle East are investing all over the world with an abundance of oil money.

In the meantime, if a company with high growth such as Jaewoo caught my eye, it would be natural to be greedy.

Wait, that’s right, Saudi Arabia is also an oil-rich country.

[So that’s why…]

Before the thought could be finished, Hassard ran his luck again.

Soon, our eyes met, and he spit out words that exactly matched my expectations with a meaningful expression.

[Why don’t we give Jaewoo a chance to invest?][··········.][Anyway, our Saudi sovereign wealth fund. That is, the PIF is currently looking for an investment destination.]

PIF was one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds.

The capital alone amounts to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Moreover, given the nature of sovereign wealth funds, long-term investments are more important than short-term investments, so there is nothing wrong with using them as your ally.

[··········.]

But it was difficult to make a decision right away.

Because Jaewoo is not in a situation where he is currently under financial pressure.

[We will discuss the matter over time.]

In the end, I passed it on with a blunt attitude.

A faint smile appeared on Hasad’s face as if he understood the intention, and soon he shifted the topic to another place.

[There is nothing to be too burdened with. I’m just letting you know that it can be helpful if you don’t have enough money in the process of expanding your territory. By the way, I wonder what you think of Prince Bin Halman, whom I met during the day.][··········.]

It was a heavy topic for a word uttered to change the mood.

Moreover, as I know the future, it is a very embarrassing question.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and I quickly came to the conclusion that I should move on to that problem as well.

[They look like boys of that age.][what······.][At that time, I was also very interested in tanks and self-propelled artillery. If it was too much, the plastic models were piled up like a mountain in the house.][··········.]

Hassard was silent at that.

Just when he realized that he had made a mistake, he let out a hoarse laugh.

[Well, all boys are like that.]

*******

[It’s like a friend who eats beans fried in lightning.]

Ryan arrived at the California airport a few days later to meet him.

His face was full of dissatisfaction as if it was difficult for him to adjust the schedule for my unplanned visit, but it didn’t look like he hated it.

[Make sure to buy dinner.][Are you going to make fun of people and just spit it out?][If you need anything else, let me know. Would you like to change your car this time?][Oh oh!]

Ryan quickly took my bag with a smirk on his face.

Afterwards, we headed to a modern mansion on the outskirts of Pelo Elto.

From what Ryan found out, he said that the blue roof he saw in front of him was Everhard’s house.

[What do you think? Even though they did come, isn’t it a little bit rushing in without notice? Besides, it’s the weekend, so the whole family will be at home.]

Ryan said in a worried tone.

The truth is that I don’t like that either.

However, there is no other way for me, as I have no connection with him.

[Still, we should meet. First let’s get you ahead Because you, white, can be less wary than me, an Asian, knocking on the door in the first place.][Why is this friend suddenly making a racist remark? What is the relationship between Asians and whites in this situation?]

Ryan frowned and refuted.

But, considering the reality, he went ahead with a dead face as if he wanted it all to be better.

Ding Dong!

[Who?]

The response came only after a few seconds.

A young woman who seems to be his wife.

Fortunately, Ryan’s appearance gave off an elite odor, but as expected, she was quite embarrassed by her stranger’s visits.

[Where are you from?][Ah, I am…]

Ryan took out one of his business cards and shoved it through the crack in the door.

She looked still nervous, she looked at her business card and Ryan for a while, then she suddenly opened the door and she jumped out.

[Is that Ryan from the Ryan Arthur Company? Ah! Come to think of it, her face is familiar.][uh? Do you know me?]

Ryan asked with a surprised face.

It is a natural result only when he is not a celebrity whose face is known throughout the United States.

I also watched her mouth, wondering if things were going to be weird.

[Because I once worked for the Michael Coffs Company.][Five! Is that so?]

There were conversations between the two that I did not know.

Listening roughly, I feel like I was a person who was in the same lobby type job.

A sigh of relief spit out, thinking that he wasn’t heading to the ground at all.

[By the way, why did Mr. Ryan come to my house to see me?][Ah! No, my friend said he had something to discuss with Mr. Eberhard, so I dared to come to you like this.]

She instantly turned round and looked at me.

Is it a lobbyist habit?

Instead of focusing on the face, the focus was mainly on clothes and watches. And it was the shoes.

[Please come in.]

She cleared her doubts and opened her screen.

She hurriedly headed to the living room and shouted to the second floor, and after a while her familiar face appeared.

[who······.][Nice to meet you. My name is Hyunseung Jin, who runs a defense industry in Korea.][Why did a representative of the Korean defense industry come to me?]

Ever Hard, too, was not wary at first.

Because of that, he had to sweat for a while to introduce me, and it was the photos in his bag that finally cleared his doubts completely.

It was taken when he visited the US last year.

Photos with the US Secretary of State and other political figures.

this is true

I didn’t know that leaving it in my bag due to laziness would help in this way.

[This is a picture taken at the US-Korea summit last year. This time I remember it too. At the time, I was also in Washington because I had business to do. But he was more famous than I thought.]

After that, we continued the conversation for a long time.

And when the atmosphere had matured somewhat, I spit out a straight-forward offer to him.

[Actually, I came here because I wanted to do business with you.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[what······.][The electric vehicle development you are currently working on. You do that with me.]

His eyes were the size of a candle.

But it’s still too early to be surprised.

I informed him of the existence of a 300 horsepower drive motor and the possibility of success in developing an all-solid-state battery, and then highlighted the possibility of rapid success through collaboration with him.

[What nonsense! Don’t you know that all-solid-state batteries are still only in the conceptual research stage? Are you going to cheat on me right now?]

As expected, he didn’t want to believe the facts easily.

The sad thing is that he came so hastily that he had no means to present a reason to him.

In the end, I mobilized the only way I could.

[What are you doing?][As you can see, I am cutting the check. If you go to Citibank with this, you can withdraw 100 million dollars from my account right away.][100 million dollars?]

It was Ryan who screamed.

Ever Hard just looks at me with calm eyes.

Perhaps now he is also feeling that things are going to be unusual.

[I plan to set up an electric car company in the United States with this money. If I were a scammer, would there be any reason to invest such a large sum of money? Besides, what can I gain by defrauding you?]

He was silent for a while.

As if his dry lips were bothering him, he was biting it with his teeth the whole time before he spoke out after a while.

[Okay, let’s say you can really make all-solid-state batteries. Then why do I need it? If we have secured the driving motor technology that can reach 300 horsepower anyway, and the battery problem has been solved, it would be possible to create a reality right away.][I want to buy your ability.][··········.][The ability to make things that are successful in commercialization, not just rolling cars. One thing here, I’m going to offer you the position of Vice President with a certain stake.][··········.][Ah! I know it’s going to be a while before we get a decent vehicle. There will be many issues that need to be addressed in the meantime. In particular, if it enters into a mass production system, securing a partner company and other issues would be a big stumbling block, and in fact, it would require the know-how of existing internal combustion engine automakers.][that’s······.]

He licked his lips.

He was the part he was worried about, too.

[Because of this, I plan to secure the infrastructure of existing automakers within the next 10 years.]

He looked at me silently.

As he wondered what he was thinking, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

[Can you afford it? To do that, how many times more money would have to be invested than the amount on the check now?]

Talking about the financial issue meant that he had already made up his mind.

It felt like something had been blocked for a moment and I burst into laughter.

[Then let’s say we invest an additional $1 billion next year. How about that, would that make you less worried?][··········.][Ah! For reference, it would be difficult for us to disclose the facts about the development potential of all-solid-state batteries whether or not we were collaborating. In that case, my friends outside will probably…]

His eyes flickered in an instant.

how much time has passed

‘All-solid-state batteries.’ Unexpected words came out of his mouth as he kept repeating his words.

[good. I accept the offer. Instead, I would like to name the company myself.][··········.]
