Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 213 97. Globalization (3)

“Hello, Master-in-law.”

“I’m sorry I keep asking you to come and go even though you’re busy.”

I teleported to the Blue House at the call of Choi Jong-hwan, the president and father-in-law.

In fact, there was no need to hide the magic from Choi Jong-hwan, who knew my existence.

So he went straight into the office without going through the front door.

“Let’s go to the restaurant first.”

Choi Jong-hwan led me into the VIP guest room.

There, as always, the buffet was lavishly laid out.

“Did you get a call from the White House?”

“Yes.”

I nodded my head at Choi Jong-hwan's answer.

'It's finally here.'

Last time, when President Dorum asked to see me, I didn't respond, so it seemed like he contacted the Blue House.

"I don't know exactly why President Donald Trump calls you by the pin, but..."

Perhaps, I explained that the President of the United States wants to see me because of the bizarre things happening in the Matop group recently and my rumors.

I couldn't help but laugh at the explanation.

'The president of the United States already knows that I am a wizard...'

Choi Jong-hwan didn't even know that, and said that he was protecting my son-in-law and said that he talked about me as little as possible.

He kept quiet about me so thoroughly that he even said that he would confirm my intentions and contact me again even in a meeting with the US president.

“Let’s meet. what."

“Are you going to do that?”

Choi Jong-hwan's face brightened at my refreshing answer.

If I refused, there were signs of thinking about how to communicate that fact to the US government.

“I’m not the only one who sees the president of the United States separately, but how about meeting the father-in-law together at this time?”

"I?"

President Choi Jong-hwan opened his eyes wide at my suggestion and asked that question.

“Isn’t there a subtle tension between the Korean and American governments lately?”

"Well······."

As I said, recently Korea and the United States have not been as strong blood alliances as they used to be.

Of course, it wasn't because of President Choi Jong-hwan.

Before Choi Jong-hwan, many governments either distanced themselves from the United States or walked a tightrope with China, losing a lot of trust in the United States.

‘And at this point, it would be good to strengthen cooperation between Korea and the United States and become closer economically...’

No matter how well Korea is doing right now, in the end, the world's most powerful country was still the United States.

“There is no other country that can match the US in terms of both military and economic power.”

It wasn't for nothing that he was playing the role of the world's policeman.

“What kind of conversation would you like me to have with President Donald Trump?”

Choi Jong-hwan asked my suggestion to go together.

"Well······."I pondered for a while.

“Just say anything you want to say. Economics is good, politics is good, and security is good. Everything.”

so freaked out

Then, Choi Jong-hwan.

"Oh oh······. Then it will be okay.”

His eyes twinkled like a child who had been playing a fun game.

For the time being, he was caught in the midst of the great powers, and he was unable to escape from the position of a president who only looked here and there.

However, now Korea's status in the world has changed because of the Matop Group.

World-famous media outlets were hotly reporting on the global ripple effect of Matop Jewelry, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and telecommunications.

-London Times, Matop Group, 'alien company' pouring out products of unusual efficacy and over-technology

-The Yasahi Shimbun and Matop Group live in an archmage? In the meantime, all the products made by Magic Tower were made by the Archmage.

-Gongsan Ilbo, a strange phenomenon that only happened in Korea, a prank of God by the transcendent.

-Tokyo Shimbun, ...

.

.

.

In the end, thanks to our horse tower, even the father-in-law was able to say everything he wanted to say in front of the President of the United States.

In the past, the reality of South Korea was that Korean presidents would go to a meeting, but would just be scared, say nothing and listen to instruction, then shake hands as if they were in an equal position in front of reporters, pretending to be strong, and then flee back to Korea.

However.

'Now, depending on how our horse tower behaves, the current power of the great powers will also change...'

Since Matop had already taken down the G7s with technology, they had no choice but to listen to us now.

'Now, no matter how hard I try, it won't work.'

Not long ago, China held our horse tower in check, and there was a time when Korean companies that had entered the country were overpowered by fire inspections and business suspensions.

However.

-Then our Korean companies will just move to Southeast Asia.

Again, he went out to China and helped companies relocate their factories at the government level.

Most of the cost of hundreds of trillions of won was subsidized by our horse tower.

'From China's point of view, I pretended to be tough, but only Southeast Asian countries did good things...'

China is no longer a country where labor costs are cheap as it used to be.

‘The average salary of Chinese workers these days is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan (about 500,000 to 600,000 won), so compared to 800 yuan (about 130,000 won) for workers in Vietnam, it is 4-5 times more.”

So now, Korea... No, China was not a market with such merit for companies around the world.

‘Besides, the land is expensive, and the corrupt Chinese Communist Party leadership gives away all the laws and controls businesses to suit their own tastes…’

China is a country where the law is not well known.

‘You can say it is the evolution of North Korea.’

It was an absolute dictatorship, but it also had two rabbits: the economy.

However.

‘In the past, I would have said ‘I paid’ because of the population, but now it is.”

These days, India (1.6 billion people) has a larger population than China, and other emerging Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines are also growing rapidly, showing a high growth rate of over 10% annually.

'On the other hand, China's growth rate is falling below 4%...'

Gone are the days of high growth rates of 7-8% and 10% in the past. Now, it was becoming a country where only the weight was increased needlessly and the efficiency was zero.

'They are gaining weight by stealing the technology and manpower of foreign companies, but now that's the limit.'

China has recently published more economic, scientific and technological papers than the United States.

However, since our horse tower appeared, all the skills they had accumulated were useless now.

‘The existence of a nation will depend on whether or not it joins hands with us...’

It's a bit of a black dragon, but it's a fact.

“If I say something I want to say to the President of the United States, what are you going to talk about with President Donald Trump?”

After I was lost in my thoughts for a moment, the father-in-law asked.

"well. I guess it depends on what the person is asking.”

"Right."

Choi Jong-hwan nodded his head as if he knew roughly.

Since I improvised my work according to the situation, I wanted to respect my intentions in that respect.

“And I have one more question.”

“You tell me.”

I nodded as I swallowed the food that was lingering in my mouth.

“Is it true that you will enter the VR business after your broadcasting business?”

“Yes, that is true.”

“Hmmm. It's VR... It’s the second most booming business in the world after artificial intelligence, but I was so nervous and dizzy when I wore those black glasses.”

"haha. At first, it’s all like that.”

Not everyone liked 3D stereoscopic images.

'Usually older people don't like that...'

But what if you put a patch on your head instead of seeing it with your eyes and connect it directly with neurons in your brain?

‘Because there is no such thing as dizziness, you can experience real virtual reality…….’

There is absolutely no difference from reality.

There he would be able to see practically all touch and pain, and natural objects and landscapes.

“Then what kind of business do you plan to enter after VR?”

VR rumors abounded so much that even Choi Jong-hwan knew about it, but he didn't know anything about the next business of the tower.

“Um, well…”

I didn't really have anything in mind, so I thought about it for a while.

“I would like to enter the automobile industry once.”

2 weeks later.

The day has come for the official summit between the President of the Republic of Korea and the President of the United States.

As soon as President Donald Trump's proposal was accepted in Korea, the White House quickly scheduled it.

In the end, Choi Jong-hwan decided to get on a plane and I...

‘I have to go to the teleport.’

I was thinking of going to America alone by magic.

‘After all, President Donald Trump knows that I am a wizard.’So, it didn't matter if he flew openly using magic.

‘The official meeting was to be held between the presidents of the two countries, and I later decided to meet alone at an informal meeting…’

For once, I decided to meet with President Donald Trump alone later, and for now...

“Dad, Dad!”

I decided to play with Silph.

“Twitch!”

“Hey!”

I grabbed Sylph, who was running, and lifted it high to get on the plane.

I was usually so busy with business that I couldn't even go home, so Sylph sometimes forgot my face.

So whenever I had a chance, I had to put my face up like this and bang my eyes.

“Brother, what are you doing to hurt him again!”

Then Ari, who was cooking in the kitchen, shouted at me.

“I’m not hurt.”

There is no real injury, and if you do, I will heal you, so what do you mean?

I sat quietly on the sofa with Sylph at Ari's scolding and watched Matop TV.

- I love you so much! I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what to do!

On TV, 'Pink Pink', the signboard girl group of Matthews Entertainment, appeared on Jin Tae-hee's personal broadcast and was announcing a new song.

“Mollang mollang~!”

Sylph went back and forth, humming along to Pink Pink's song lyrics.

“Everyone, have dinner.”

Not long after that, Ari had all the food on the table.

Sylph, who had a good appetite, quickly got off the sofa and ran to the table.

“What’s for dinner today?”

I turned off the TV by voice command and walked slowly to the table.

“Today’s side dish is…”

Except for the vegetables and side dishes, the main dish was closed in a large tray lid and had not yet been revealed.

Ari looked at me and Sylph, who were drooling, and burned the sweet tooth as if to make fun of him.

“Wow!”

and opened the lid wide.

“Wow, it’s a carp. carp!"

“It’s steamed carp.”

Spicy steamed carp, which looked over 6 kg, was placed with bean sprouts.

“Sup.”

Sylph quickly picked up his chopsticks and began digging hard at the carp flesh.

“Didn’t you say you were going to America today?”

As the meal started, Ari asked me a question.

“I decided to leave separately with my father-in-law.”

“Oh, maybe teleport?”

"Huh. Even the president of the United States thought I was a wizard. Hahaha."

With such a cheeky smile, I was also busy playing with my chopsticks at the carp.
