'Let's see…' I put my accounts on my computer at once: $4,800,000, $5,500,000, $6,200,000, $4,000,000, $7,000,000, $3,100,000, $7,500,000, $1,000,000 .

The total amount of money in my eight accounts was about $40,000,000 . This amount of money was left after investing $30,000,000 in Invictus Investment .

'I made $20,000,000 last month, and did I pay $10,000,000 for the subscription?'

I looked at the details of the sale . That was right . In the first month and the second month, I was confident that I made $20,000,000 in net profit, but this month I made only $10,000,000 . It wasn't because I couldn't trade, but because I didn't get caught in a big event like a duty-free compet.i.tion . I couldn't help it .

'There are only three or four big events a year . If money doesn't move, I can't make it . That's what the stock market is originally . But nevertheless, I am optimistic about the future . I have eight news stories a day . All investments are so, but as long as the yield is good, a.s.sets tend to increase rapidly . '

I clicked on all the news items one by one: D . 12 Hours After, D . 12 Days After, D . 12 Weeks After D, D . 12 Months After . I quickly glanced through the headlines .

[The detonator of the household debt… The signs of the declining fortune of the Star Wars series… The limits of the smartphone are… Jung Sung-woo's move to Lotte…]

I'd seen the headlines every day for four months . I'd just come to know what it was . I rolled my eyes quickly, dug out a gemstone, and stopped moving my eyes .

[The Blue House called Youth Unemployment Countermeasures Committee… Suzy Electronics announced Q2 earnings surprise!]

[Economy – Suzy Electronics announced Q2 earnings surprise!]

'I got one!

'Every company in the country has to report every quarter how it spent money, what business it made and how much it earned in the process . Of course, stock a.n.a.lysts predict quarterly reports of companies that have a significant impact on stock prices, using the slogan “earnings surprise” when they have an outstanding record . '

I glanced up . [D . 12 Weeks After]

'It is now September and the news in 12 Weeks After is just the time since the announcements of companies' second-quarter earnings are scheduled from late October to mid-November . '

I clicked on it .

[Suzy Electronics recorded a second-quarter earnings surprise . Nov . 15 . Suzy Electronics announced a surprise performance of $618,800,000 in sales and $21,000,000 in net profit in the second quarter . ]

I read down more articles . 'I'm sure the stock price is written . '

It was right there . [In a surprise move that exceeded a.n.a.lysts' expectations, Suzy Electronics closed at $16 . 40, up 20% . ]

I searched for Suzy Electrons with HTS .

[Suzy Electrons $9 . 90]

Suzy Electrons was trading for less than $10 .

'60% profit in three months…'

In fact, it would be a huge profit . If general investors saw this article, they would have sold their house and car, and taken out a loan . But I was different . I was not a general investor . If I said that I would earn $24,000,000 by investing $40,000,000, I would have to pay $30,000,000 for the subscription fees . It would be a loss . Therefore, I had to figure out how to get things done in my mind .

'Nov . 15th – a 20% jump in Suzy Electronics, rising to $16 . 40 . '

'If this is done, I can make a profit on other news outlets in the meantime and earn 20% of the money in the short term on this day . If I make a profit of more than $10,000,000 for the subscription fees, I should do it this way . '

I picked up my cell phone and I turned on the work schedule application .

['Please enter your pa.s.sword . ]

I typed in my pa.s.sword with a combination of capital letters and lower letters, and numbers and special symbols, and I entered the application . Then on November 15th, I wrote it down, 'SE 164 . '

'It's a kind of code . If anyone sees this, they won't know what it is . I'm the only one who can think of this: Suzy Electronics, $16 . 40 . '

After I wrote the note, I looked at another schedule . It was written 'October 28th, YF 222 . ' I decrypted the code right away from it . “Yoosung Food . $222 . ”

There was also an event on October 10, “AAAOO . ” I saw it and decrypted it right away . “Announcement of Als Aluminum's Obtain Order . ”

The price wasn't written, but there would be good news anyway . I arranged the good news in this way . Just by looking at a couple of letters, I could trade them . It would be obvious that I would make much more money than before, if I could fill this calendar like this .

'The closest thing is… TRETUP' Late this month, one was scheduled for Sept 27 . It was the oldest cryptogram . I thought for about three seconds and made a sentence out of the initial consonant, “Taegw.a.n.gbangjik's Real Estate Trading hits the upper limit price . ”

Taegw.a.n.gbangjik was an old textile company in the province . It was established in the '70s, like a textile company, but it owned real estate in good land in the local metropolitan area . In fact, in the '70s, it was just a factory outside the city, but after a while, it became a land of gold . They decided to sell the land for $240,000,000 this time .

'Their market capital is $180,000,000 . So, if they buy that stock now, it'll be worth more than $2 . 40 for $1 . 80 in cash . Sometimes some old stocks have that gold buried in the mud . People don't buy such stocks because they've been walking sideways for ten to twenty years that way . There's an expensive piece of land, but they don't know when it'll be sold . They don't know when the money will come in . However, I know the date .

'On the twenty-seventh day, I'm going to buy it slowly, unless other news comes out . '

I closed the calendar app . What should be done next was to use People Search . I entered the major portal site with the mailbox of 12 Hours After turned on . There was a business memo here . It was not a minor mail that came, but a major mail with many people's names .

[List of OH Entertainment artists . ]

When I clicked on it, there were profiles of artists belonging to OH Entertainment .

[Oh Hyun-joo (25) – Actress

Kim Jun-hyung (24) – Actor

Sung-jin (22) – Idol

Franz (21) – Idol

Maha (22) – Idol]

I clicked the first one of Oh Hyun-joo at the top, academic and family relations, personal information came out quickly .

[Oh Hyun-joo]

[Real name: Oh Hyun-joo

Age: 25

Education: Ji Seong Elementary School, Ji Sung Middle School, Seoul Arts High School

Family Relations: parents and her younger brother]

– As you can see, it shouldn't be leaked . President Kwon asked me to be careful . -

It was understandable why Secretary Seo said such a thing in his email . This was too detailed to be a simple profile .

[Acting Performance: 9

Appearance: 10

Professional Mind: 9

Speech Ability: 7

Fas.h.i.+on Sense: 3

Artistic Talents: 4

Singing Ability: 5

Dancing Ability: 0

From evaluating various abilities, Appearance is very outstanding, and she is good at acting . Her pa.s.sion for acting is also very strong . She has a naive personality, and it's hard to s.h.i.+ne among the strong-colored actresses . Her role in acting should be well suited . She lacks artistic talents and it's hard to expect her to perform as a multi-player . A small face, good in shape, but we shouldn't let her wear clothes without a coordinator . It's also hard for her to sing . However, never make her dance . ]

There was also a personal a.s.sessment such as .

'What is this? Did Kwon evaluate it? At the audition?'

When I asked him for the profile of OH Entertainment artists, I said that there would be cases I would recommend or not . When asked, he seemed to prepare his personal evaluations, too . It was accompanied by a.s.sessments from the office . He wanted me to see how it looked different from his own .

'I didn't ask him to…'

It was a lot of fun looking at profiles, but I did not ask it to see this . All I needed was a name . I wrote 'Oh Hyun-joo' in my People Search in 12 Weeks After . An article was up soon .

[Oh Hyun-joo – The G.o.ddess of Coffee . ]

I clicked on the article and saw Oh Hyun-joo in her overcoat with a coffee . Looking around, I could see something like a filming device . It was like shooting something to end a movie and crank in .

'It's not a big deal…'

I went to see the news in 12 Months After and wrote 'Oh Hyun-joo' there as well .

[Oh Hyun-joo – She had excellent acting as a villain . ]

This time, it was drama news . Reading the article, I knew it would be around next spring . The content was not much . She played the villain as the t.i.tle suggested, but she also played the villain well . That was a good article .

'She can't dance . ' I shut the window, muttering to myself . Oh seemed to be doing well next spring . I intended to verify each and every artist in this way . If there was good news, I would push it; if there was bad news, I would cut it off . When I became as famous as Oh Hyun-joo or Kim Joon-hyung in the future, I would use this skill on myself!

The next morning, I got up at eight, as usual . I got up rubbing my eyes, picked up the phone and called Secretary Seo .

“Yes, boss . ”

“Yes, it's me . How's the company doing?”

“Nothing special, but… The stock price of OH Entertainment fell a little bit . ”

“Really? How much?”

“About 2%…”

Ji-hoon seemed to have not done much stock trading .

“Oh, that's like going down when someone sells it . ”

“But when I looked it up… Some people have been looking for a negative opinion after our company recently acquired it . ”

“Really? Why?”

“They say that someone who had nothing to do with entertainment suddenly burst in . ”

From the surface alone, it was not a wrong idea . however, they didn't know that I was holding onto the future news .

“Well, that's all right . If we show something in performance, the stock price will go up . ”

“Is that right?”

“Well . Anyway, I'm not going to work today . Tell Jang to do a good job of increasing the number of staff and employees, and look for other companies to take over . ”

“Yes, boss . ”

After the call, I sat in front of the monitor . I still had about fifty minutes left . I left my work computer on and pushed my chair over . I moved to the game computer with a high-end use with two 1080TIs and played a game .

8:50 arrived . I whistled while moving the chair over in front of the work computer . It turned 8:55, and the emails came . I searched for a mail without thinking much . Then, one of the emails caught my eyes .

“Hmm?” Receiving future news had become a daily routine, I'd been getting into a habit, but this was a little different .

'This is… a big case? No, maybe… It could be a lot of money…'
