Chapter 770 – Sun Valley Conference
Influence.
It is not a simple thing that can be determined by the amount of assets.
‘Just because Jaedragon’s fortune is 10 trillion won doesn’t mean it’s the only thing.’
Controls the company with only a 5% stake.
Korea has its own special governance structure.
In these social gatherings, the latter is given more value.
This is the real power that person has.
“You’re from Korea?”
“Yes.”
“South Korea?”
“When I think of Korea, the only things that come to mind are Ohsung Electronics and Lupine.”
CEO of Ohsung Electronics.
This is why we are invited to the Sun Valley Conference every year.
‘There are a few others besides that.’
It was limited to a one-year invitation.
The only regular Korean attendee is Jaedragon.
Lupine’s CEO Beombu Kim is also in his second year.
Continuing from last year, I came again this year.
“Lupin’s CEO is not Korean.”
“Is that so? Excuse me.”
“Then what about you…”
“No way!”
You won’t get any attention.
The company is five minutes away from going public.
‘I even memorized the sword in the first place.’
I am not Korean.
We only do business in Korea.
On the other hand, I.
“Lee Chan-wook, a Korean who is the CEO of CW Securities and also holds the position of a food market, surprised the United States, shocked China, and brought Japan to its knees?!”
I am truly Korean.
He gives a classy reaction that you would only see on Gukbong TV.
‘I’d be good at being a YouTuber.’
Greetings from the media side.
He makes a gesture of being happy to see me, as if he knows something about me.
“It is true that it is Lee Chan-wook.”
“Ohoh!”
“You deserve to come to Sun Valley.”
“I really wanted to meet you.”
It’s a good thing for me too.
This can be said to be the purpose of coming to the Sun Valley Conference.
‘There is no better place than this to form global connections.’
Actually, it’s Jae-Dragon.
I consider coming here as the most important business trip of the year.
Daily News− 「Lee Jae-yong has not been to ‘Sun Valley’ for 6 years… “A global network tied up”
Even though I can’t come.
After the government corruption scandal, our hands and feet were tied.
“It’s an honor for me to actually meet people I’ve only heard about.”
“For something like that, you don’t look nervous, do you?”
“I’m just saying this out of courtesy.”
” Haha!””
It won’t be of any concern to politicians.
Regardless of whether Ohsung Electronics is a mess or not.
‘All I had to do was collect a lot of taxes.’
Some people think so.
Short-term profits are more important than long-term growth.
For me, the former.
In order to take root in the United States, personal connections are essential.
“You may be the first participant, but it doesn’t feel like the first participant at all. I feel relaxed. I really want to get to know you!”
I also know the method.
There is no way I have participated once or twice.
‘It’s the same with games.’
Newbie.
You can tell just by looking at it.
You’re a new user.
This also applies here in Sun Valley.
For invited guests who are not accustomed to participating.
『RIVIAN』
『Affirm』
I wear something like that.
Promote your company by writing its name on a t-shirt.
“I don’t understand why I have to come to a resort called Sun Valley in this nice weather and perform my duties as CEO of the company.”
“I really agree.”
“It would be nice if everyone were like you.”
That scene.
As for the stagnant water, it is a mixed bag.
If you even say a word.
‘It’s obvious they’ll ask where I hunt and what items I should wear.’
According to Maple Story, he is a passionate user who wears a red headband and a Doruku dagger.
The will to work hard is admirable.
But honestly, it’s true that it’s annoying.
“It’s like overdue homework. If you’re usually doing well, you won’t have to do it when other people are playing, right?”
” Haha!””
We need to know the hearts of those people.
The first thing about socializing is.
‘Because it’s friendliness.’
Businesslike atmosphere.
If you go around being rude, a wall will be built between you.
There is no meaning in meeting at a social gathering.
Small talk becomes the starting point of friendship.
“Lee Chan-wook?”
“I heard the name of a braggart.”
“Oh my god, Sun Valley is so bad this year.”
There are bound to be some who dislike it.
A sarcastic voice is heard.
A group of about three or four men.
They are showing hostile intentions from the first moment.
“A braggart?”
“It might sound like that. To those born with a silver spoon in their mouth.”
“How dare you!”
“Where are the poor people making fun of our family?”
It’s not that rare.
Rather, it is natural to see it as common.
‘If you look at it in class too.’
Everyone in the same class can’t be friends.
A few people are divided into groups.
The same goes for the Sun Valley Conference.
The people I was friends with.
“I’m not going to deny it, but I don’t want to hear it from people who haven’t even had a drop of water on their hands.”
These are people from Silicon Valley.
It is believed to be a CEO and journalist in the IT industry.
‘I guess I know a little bit about that place.’
It was a long time ago.
The face may be different.
But the outline doesn’t go anywhere.
“It’s a thought worthy of a rich man.”
“They think that succeeding at poker like they do once means everything in the world.”
” Haha!””
Bloodline.
The culture of conglomerates is not unique to Korea.
‘Everywhere people live are similar.’
Europe is no exception.
A place where monopoly is possible.
A place where continuous profits are promised.
There are families that suck at Muan sweet water.
Because it has a long history.
“People like me who play a lot of poker will especially hate it.”
“Hmph!”
“I mean, understand the topic.”
“I have to desperately promote it for people to think it’s cute.”
It has characteristics that come from DNA.
I can guess which family they are from the second generation.
‘I don’t think it was like this when I was a little older.’
Complex.
They know better than anyone else that they are gold diggers.
That’s why they become even more inferior.
They look for someone to look down on.
“I don’t plan on coming to the resort and doing that.”
“That means you don’t understand the topic!”
“Look at Elon Musk over there! Do you think you’re as big as the soles of his feet?”
The first invited guest.
CEO of a startup.
You don’t have to think about what to do.
‘If you’re a person of color and even become wealthy.’
It’s seriously annoying to the eyes.
It is quite upsetting to the noble European upper classes.
I can’t do this to real people.
In the direction he pointed with his finger.
“If you’re not a big-mouthed braggart, why don’t you at least give a speech up there?”
There is a small stage.
A crowd of more than a dozen people surrounded it.
‘That’s also the charm of the Sun Valley Conference.’
Impromptu speech.
Everyone has a chance.
You can do it if you want.
〈 Because Mars is going away~! 〉.
Like Elon Musk.
He grabs the microphone and cries out in harmony as if he is absorbed.
“That’s good.”
“What?”
“You’re bluffing.”
“I’ll take the next turn.”
“”?!””
In some ways, it is an opportunity.
You can promote yourself in front of many celebrities.
It’s not that simple.
Just like the saying goes, you can’t do anything if you spread a mat.
‘There’s nothing worse than being ignored.’
It’s embarrassing.
I don’t want to come here again.
So there are some people who did not come.
Percussion!
For me, it is a very happy place.
I was so looking forward to it.
“This is Chan-wook Lee. Dear Mr. Elon Musk, I am honored to be able to take the microphone next.”
The opportunity came easily.
This is because no one was willing to step forward.
‘I guess it will be as good as Elon Musk.’
Even at the Sun Valley Conference, he is classified as a first-class guest.
It is the most important person.
The speech is also of a high standard.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tesla also raised his eyebrows.
“Over there!”
“Ask me anything.”
“Elon Musk spoke passionately about Mars, and I’m curious what kind of vision our Chanwook Lee will show. I’m really looking forward to this~.”
And vision.
It is a story that will stimulate curiosity if you are hearing it for the first time.
‘It’s a vassal.’
It is also something that cannot be easily imitated.
I only hear the sounds of dreamers.
Musk showed possibility.
That is why it is established.
“I also know quite a bit about Elon Musk through my profession. Although I personally interpret the Mars story a little differently.”
I have to compete in my own way.
There is no need to fall for provocation.
‘It actually worked out well.’
A member of the group just now.
This was probably meant to make me embarrassed.
Conversely, it can be an opportunity.
The topic of Elon Musk was mentioned.
“I have a habit of repeating the story of Mars when good news runs out. I hope they don’t give hyenas like me a chance.”
” Haha!””
The people of the venue.
Even if it seems like you’re not listening, you’re all listening.
They are people who can multitask to that degree.
‘Also about my relationship with Elon Musk.’
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
It’s impossible not to know.
It once became the center of the market.
He is also the only winner.
Except for me, all investors have experienced hardship.
“Lee Chan-wook?”
“Could it be that CW Securities…”
“He’s the hottest investor on Wall Street these days.”
The secret.
Of course you want to know.
It may be a great reference for investment.
‘Thoughts like that.’
I have it all.
I came all the way to the Sun Valley Conference, so I had to get something.
I kept my ears open.
So that you can listen to the story anytime, anywhere.
“Do you have a negative view of the Mars migration project?”
“I am a supporter.”
“Then do you think there is a chance?”
“I am at least confident that Mr. Musk’s tomb will be built on Mars.”
” Haha!””
I become the center.
It gathers the attention of party invitees.
‘In order to do that.’
Seriousness and lightness.
You have to catch two rabbits.
It seems pointless, but somehow seems useful.
“You have recently become known for your aggressive investments, which I think is unusual considering your age. I would like to know if you are self-taught or if you have a teacher.”
It implies mysticism.
We are in a position where that is possible.
Questions are pouring in one by one.
You have to respond tactfully.
“Every investor has a teacher. Warren Buffett, Ken Fisher, etc. If it weren’t for the books of Wall Street veterans, young investors would have been lost. In that sense, it can be said that they have a teacher.”
“”Ohoh!””
Social gathering.
It is not a party between friends.
It is a place full of formality and tradition.
‘If you don’t respect that culture.’
Naturally, it cannot be welcomed.
However, if you take it too seriously, it’s no fun.
As a business partner, it may be difficult to understand, but as a friend, it becomes ambiguous.
Such a difficult problem.
“I read their books. There are things that legendary investors emphasize in their entirety.”
“What is that?”
“That sounds quite interesting…”
This includes solving problems.
No one can stand in the center of this party.
‘Well, I know.’
What is always important is the process.
Somehow get access to the person’s inner thoughts.
Just approach, and you’re done.
There is a topic that everyone in the world definitely likes.
“The most important thing is to have a lot of sex while you are young.”
Adds a touch of vulgarity.
