Chapter 724 – Mexico
Central and South America.
It is a region with a completely different environment from Korea.
‘Just think about it using common sense.’
Everything from history to culture is different.
It’s getting harder to find the same thing.
“There is no topic like Bitcoin in Latin America these days. You can’t be called the MZ of Latin America without Bitcoin.”
Because of this, interests also change.
Bitcoin.
It’s definitely a hot keyword in Korea, too.
‘It’s just an investment or a meme.’
Let’s go~!
○○ Coin has appeared!
It is lightly used in the mass media.
People who do it seriously will hear the sound of coin chung.
It does not occupy a large role.
“It might not be a topic of much interest to you.”
“That can’t be true. Bitcoin is also in the process of being incorporated into the system.”
“Oh?”
That’s the difference.
Central and South America.
Bitcoin-related topics are not serious for no reason.
Daily News− “El Salvador promotes world’s first ‘Bitcoin’ legal currency”
There are even countries that designate it as their national currency.
Panama, Cuba, and Argentina are also preparing.
‘It’s a simple story.’
Bitcoin?
Koreans don’t have to do it.
Even if there is no such thing, there is not even a 0.00001% problem in life.
The story goes that Central and South American people are not like that.
If I don’t do this, my assets will be destroyed every day.
“You can’t help but buy it in this country. Dollars are certainly attractive, but you can’t buy them as you want.”
I feel it.
It is even shown openly.
The value of the national currency.

±——————————————–
Even before Corona, it was a dead end.
Right now I can’t help but feel sorry for the tree.
“Hasn’t Bitcoin fallen a lot?”
“It hasn’t fallen compared to the peso. The cancer exchange rate premium is higher than usual. People want to buy it even if they pay 200 pesos.”
That’s everyday life.
Bitcoin has also fallen significantly from its highest point.
‘Even that volatility.’
It is better than having your own currency.
Digital scraps are better than toilet paper.
Such a consensus has been created.
You wouldn’t know if you only lived in a normal country like Korea.
“Mexico is not as interested as us… But the interest in Bitcoin is the same. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a trend throughout Central and South America.”
Security is unstable.
The country is heading downward.
I’ve never seen anything get better in my life.
‘Because even the world economy is in shambles.’
International recession.
Developing countries suffer damage that is incomparable to developed countries.
“This is especially true for people in the back world like me. There is nothing like Bitcoin for hiding and moving assets.”
“When we first met, we also traded with Bitcoin.”
“Ah! So…”
It’s not just the economy that’s being shattered.
Because those who have money never try to lose money.
‘The underground economy is active.’
This is the overall situation of Central and South American countries.
I can roughly guess Fernando’s story.
Bitcoin is not a currency.
In essence, it is close to a speculative asset.
“Anyway, Mexico is outside my sphere of influence. I asked the organization that does business with us to do business with me. I put one condition on it.”
Investment.
I can’t help but be interested.
In order to make more money.
‘You have to predict the market trend.’
Ordinary people cannot even dream.
I would like to receive consultation from an expert.
The expert is coming.
It is currently the most popular name on Wall Street.
Slam!
It’s natural to want to meet.
Although that was within what I expected.
“Mr. Fernando, and the guest who decided to come with us. You should come with us.”
“”…””
Meeting place.
A grand welcome was waiting.
Strong young men invite us to social gatherings.
‘Well, it’s a common event in Central and South America.’
This is what happened to Fernando.
He was also a violent mafia at the time.
Slam!
Slam! Slam!
Take out the gun.
With the sound of reloading, an unpleasant atmosphere is instantly created.
“Isn’t that the attitude of coming to meet you?”
“All you have to do is follow me.”
“How can you believe that?”
Fight of arms.
Fernando must have assumed a certain situation as he came with his organization members.
However, there may be casualties.
Bullets do not identify enemies.
“If safety is clearly guaranteed, we will consider it.”
Look at my eyes.
We are trying to avoid it turning into a bloody situation as much as possible.
An agreement is reached to move the location.
To the place where passers-by are looking.
“Does the boss know?”
“This is what the boss ordered. We just followed.”
“Is that kid out of his mind?”
It’s an unexpected happening.
It is also quite possible.
‘Money is.’
It gives off a sweet smell.
It makes people twisted like a swarm of insects.
It’s even weirder that it doesn’t happen.
Because I have experienced it countless times.
“I’m sorry. I chose someone who was trustworthy among the local organizations…”
“No. It was actually good.”
“Huh?”
“The simpler it is, the easier it is to handle.”
I also know how to deal with it.
The psychology of humans.
‘Manipulation is an investment.’
The intention is visible.
There is nothing as easy to handle as a human being whose behavioral principles are understood.
* * *
Mexico.
It is a country close to the wild.
People live without much thought.
“I am Luis Canto. I am sorry that this invitation was harsh.”
That became an opportunity.
Luis Cantor.
He was just a local hoodlum.
There was only one thing I was better at than others.
It is violence.
‘Ha, he said he was a successful American investor, so I said something, and it turned out to be Mr. Saenim.’
Violence and fear.
If you use these two things well, you can succeed.
Gathered forces.
I defeated my opponent.
Continuing the struggle of resistance.
“Lewis… I don’t know, but I won’t stand by if you are rude to my friend.”
“You say scary things.”
“Lewis.”
“Calm down.”
I became the boss of a cartel that controlled a city.
It wasn’t difficult.
‘As long as it’s intimidating.’
You can take the situation at your own pace.
It is about making full use of that ability.
Lee Chan-wook.
He is said to be a famous investor.
He is not a person from the world he knows.
But one thing is certain.
The fact is that he is extremely rich.
“It’s not a bad story. He said he had a favor to ask of me? Instead of granting his request…, Let’s give and take.”
I have a lot of money.
Life is a waste.
If you add a little threat.
‘I can definitely grab a share.’
Of course, in that case, Fernando would be angry.
Future transactions may be cut off.
Even taking that into account, it is still a profitable business.
They rip off a huge amount of money from this rich man.
“Give & Take is good.”
“The story makes sense!”
“Rather, I feel anxious if I don’t get paid. I feel like they won’t do the job properly.”
“Hehe.”
It would be a small amount of money to him.
I heard that billions of dollars were spent on social media.
‘An opportunity like this will never come again.’
100 million dollars.
No, just half-and-half is enough.
This is Mexico.
GDP per capita is only 1/7 of that of the United States.
The value of money is different.
“How much should I pay for the trouble… Okay! It’s up to you to decide. I’ll take only as much as you give, no fuss.”
There are plenty of threats worth making.
Since it is a transaction, industry rules are not a problem.
‘Of course, I won’t let you give it to me in moderation.’
Violence and fear.
I thought he would pay without regret, even if it meant his life was precious.
“Is 1,000 Bitcoin enough?”
“Oh! As expected, the story connects. It’s big.”
“But if it were me, I wouldn’t accept Bitcoin.”
“Huh?”
This is the answer I wanted.
At the same time, it was also a strange story.
Bitcoin is the common currency of the backworld.
There is nothing more important than this.
There’s no way he doesn’t know.
If you are doing business with Fernando.
‘No way.’
In other words, it was a different story.
Bitcoin.
At the same time as currency.
“The outlook for Bitcoin is not going to be good for a while. You could see the magic of money being erased just by holding it.”
Investment.
Lewis doesn’t know either.
Rather, it is a position that I know well.
‘You can tell what the price of Bitcoin will be?’
I can’t help but be interested.
Anyone who has Bitcoin cares.

『Bitcoin』

This is because prices change.
What if you could predict it?
A thousand or two thousand Bitcoins is not the problem.
“You know what? Bitcoin’s future movements?”
“Of course.”
“That’s ridiculous… I’ve seen a lot of people claim that, but I’ve never seen a single person actually get it right. Not a single one.”
“I guess so.”
Because you’ve never met me.
Lee Chan-wook.
The man’s words were enough to throw Lewis’ head into confusion.
‘I heard you were an investor.’
I’ve never thought about it seriously.
I don’t even know what kind of job it is in the first place.
It doesn’t touch me.
I’m thinking about it again.
It is said that the price of Bitcoin can be predicted.
“There are all kinds of products in the world. Bitcoin is one of them. My job is simple. Sell unattractive assets and buy attractive assets. This is what the world calls investing.”
More than that.
I am interested.
If what the man says is really true.
‘Do you even know about assets whose prices are rising?’
I can’t believe it.
If he were his usual self, he wouldn’t have even snorted.
I am being overwhelmed.
To him who does not give violence or fear.
“Well, then… What is the most attractive asset right now?”
“Do you want to hear it?”
“Of course! Who doesn’t want to hear valuable information?”
I can’t take my eyes off it.
I just wait to hear his next words.
‘It was enough to just get the money, so why should I?’
I don’t understand it myself.
But deep down, I want it.
Money.
This man’s world.
I felt like I wanted to get closer.
“There are many things, but if you are the standard, it is this city.”
“What?”
“This city. If it were me, I could extort 100 times more money than I do now.”
“…”
He was suggesting something worse than himself.
