《12 Hours After》Chapter 70: The Boss’s Home Working, Part I
Advertisement
'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 competition. 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, assets 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 analysts 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 analysts' 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 password.]
I typed in my password 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, "Taegwangbangjik's Real Estate Trading hits the upper limit price."
Taegwangbangjik 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
Fashion 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 passion for acting is also very strong. She has a naive personality, and it's hard to shine 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 assessment 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 assessments 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 Goddess 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 title 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...'
