After 12 Hours

G. E. (2)

“Will you give me an invitation? ”

I gave him my business card. He pulls something out of his arms. It looks like a laser beam mainly used by academic instructors. He glanced at his business card once, pointing to the hallway where the identity card was entered earlier.

“This way. Come on in. ”

You don't seem to be returning your business card. I passed him by. I didn't know it from afar, but when I look closely, my suit is angled by my angled muscles. On the back of the neck is a demon-shaped tattoo.

‘I feel like the Gatekeeper Devil guarding the Gates of Hell. ’

I drove past the man into the inner corridor. In front of the broken corridor, this time there is an angel beauty.

“Welcome. You”

He looks a little younger than me. In his mid-20s, his hair was neatly raised like a stewardess. Your little face looks smaller. The eyewear is clearly eye-catching, so it looks flashy. She looked at me.

“Oh, you're new here, aren't you? ”

I recognized myself at first glance.

“Would you like to come this way? ”

Spoken like a stewardess. Maybe I'll hire a real stewardess for a while. I approached her. She picks up a black box in the back and says,

“Everyone in Garden Envy has a nickname. If you get to know each other, you can use your real name in private. Everyone needs a nickname in a meeting. So you need a nickname. What would you like to do? ”

"Nickname?"

While I was thinking about it, she took out a cell phone from a black box and held it in her hand. And he looked at me. I think they want a nickname.

‘What shall we do? ’

I don't have much time to think about it. I used my usual nickname.

“Durance.”

Duras is the name of the dragon in the game. Duroth di Eternal.

“Yes, sir."

She quickly clicks on her phone. It seems to say "duros." She finished touching it, and handed it to me.

“Take this. ”

I got that phone. Nebula S9. It's the same kind I use. It's only been out for three months.

“From now on, this phone belongs to Mr. Duras. The SIM has been retrofitted so that it doesn't work on a normal cell phone. It can only receive data over Wi-Fi. Because if you look inside, there's an app that you can't install in the general market. You can share information with members here. ”

"Give me this"? ’

I'm a little surprised you're willing to give away just a million won worth of equipment.

‘As expected, this is no ordinary reading room. Usually I get paid… but here I pay…’

But on the contrary, if you think about it, giving away a million dollar cell phone like this means you're confident that you'll be able to take away more than one million won from this chat window. I got that phone first. Then she lowers her head and points to the inside of the door.

“Come in.”

I opened the door with that phone. And then...

"Shar-ran-shan-shan-shan-shan-shan-shan-shan-sha-la-la!"

Familiar classical music. I was surprised.

‘No, how can it be so soundproof? ’

Until just now, I had no idea that the song was coming from inside. Further inside, there is a large banquet hall. A banquet hall that you can see at weddings. There was definitely a ‘lease’ outside, but the lights are quite bright. Inside, the waiters were walking around, carrying liquor and food on the table.

There are bars on one side that feel like they're dealing with alcohol. It also looks like a simple social club. I looked at people who seemed to be participating. About ten people are all inside. Some of them are separated from others.

“Oops, Prelate Shin, how are you? ”

“Yes, Prelate. How have you been? ”

Some people recognize each other and greet each other. The Divine Lecturer is the only person I know about the background. I stepped back a little and listened to what they were saying.

“Oh, I've been asked to come and go from China lately. ”

“China?”

“Yes. I don't want to go, but I keep telling Fei to come up. Apparently there's a lot of money in China these days. So I fly every weekend. I'll leave the hospital up to the vice principals. ”

“How much do you make coming and going? ”

“They gave me about 3,000 fortresses. ”

“Oh, I see. Do you speak a lot of Chinese? ”

“No, no, no. I barely speak Chinese. They are looking for Korean doctors who like me to speak Korean more... they come to see dramas and ask me to do the same thing as Korean celebrities... even though I don't understand each other, I speak Korean on purpose. Brokers like it better. Communication is done by the translator at your side. ”

“Haha, I see. ”

I think the person you're talking to is a plastic surgeon. Even in secret clubs, there are jobs, genders, and ordinary corners.

Why did you give him your nickname, by the way? ’

I sat at the side of the corridor alone and listened to that phone earlier. There is only one essential app on the phone.

Garden Envy.

When I go there, I look familiar. Typical chat app. What's different is that the chat room has already been created. The latest message is.

"Duras has joined the chat room. ’

I think I am the newest member. I've got 82 incoming. I'm not sure if there are many or few.

Why did you give me your phone, by the way? If I just put an app on my phone...

On second thought, there is a risk of hacking. Especially if you don't know this identity. I have over 10 billion in funds moving on my mobile phone, but I can't put apps like this on.

‘... so you're giving us a new phone... so we don't have to enter any personal information... and we don't trust each other. Is this the kind of device you have? That's a reasonable idea. Who the hell set this up? ’

At 7 p.m., the appointment time, people start coming in one or two. Approximately five to 60 people in the public eye. Some people are slightly perceptive and don't feel obligated. I stepped back slightly and watched them. In general, they appear to be in their late 30s to late 40s. There is no age similar to mine.

I thought you said your 30s and 40s were the main players. ’

I feel distant somehow. I watched them from a distance. They greeted each other and drank at the bar. Some of them look familiar.

"Hey, is that guy...? ’

He must have seen it in a farce. If the king says so,

The castle is doomed, Your Majesty.

A medium-sized talent that shouts. Even though she is Jo during the show, I still know her face.

It's like a normal social club when you look at it like this.

But I was.

“H-hello? ”

Someone approached me. But surprisingly, he's in his late 20s, like me. Your face is slightly red. Big eyes and sharp eyes. Big nose, too. It looks like you put a big man in there.

“Greetings. My name is Kaiji. Your nickname?"

"Kaiji"? What kind of Japanese cartoon? ’

Now it looks like she looks just like Kaiji. I told him.

“I am Duras. Nice to meet you."

I'm a little embarrassed to say my nickname with my mouth.

“You look like you're new here... How old are you? ”

“29.”

“Oh, I see. I'm 28. I was invited, but I don't have anyone my own age, so... I'm not supposed to be in a meeting. But you're about the same age today. ”

He's one year younger than me. I didn't want to be alone, but I had a colleague. I nodded and said.

“Oh, please. Nice to meet you. I didn't know who else to talk to when I first got here. How long have you been here? ”

“I am Week 3. I'm not used to it either. ”

He wasn't that long ago either. But I asked him. You had two more weeks than I did.

“This place... what's the point of gathering? What happens when you share information…”

“Oh, well...”

You know, the minute she tried to say something,

“Hello, Garden Envy. You”

Someone's coming up the stairs. He looks like he's in his early 40s.

“Greetings. Welcome to the new arrivals today. This is Garden Envy. It's where investors share and interact with each other. ”

I looked at him and thought,

Is he the organizer of this meeting? ’

But he said,

“Then I will put the topic right away for those who come today. ”

It scares me to death.

Weeing.

There is a sound inside the chairman. Everyone has a cell phone. I also listened to my new phone. The unknown app

"This Week's Topics"

Can we make it more than 10 million to Seoul on September 5th? – Future Media.

"The San Francisco Association of Asthma Treatment Effects September 8th Announces Faction Pharmaceuticals."

‘Who will go to Incheon Airport Duty Free on September 9 – Baekje Hotels, Xian Tourism, Elderdief, Shinyoung Department Store, etc.'

It was lined up three lines. The man on the ground...

“Enjoy your party, then. ”

I came down right away, leaving a note. Kazie looks at her phone and mutters.

“Well, I have three questions today. ”

Three questions. This doesn't seem like the kind of place to pick up a sport like any other stock reading room. Rich people are suspicious.

"Buy Stock A. Go up, buy stock B. It is rapid. ’

When you read the expression

‘Isn't this about handing over your shares? ’

I have doubts. Whereas if you let the conversation go on like this, you decide to think and buy. Much better. I asked Kazie.

“Do you usually pitch things like this here? ”

“Yes, I'm not expecting anything to go up or down. Here's how we're going to gather information. ”

I watched what others were saying. The topic of the conversation quickly moved to stock stories.

“Dr. Jean. Don't you know anything about this new drug? ”

“Your lungs are not my specialty... there's a fellow who works in a faction constraint. Let's try the hydrogen door.”

I got into the conversation openly. I wonder if I won't benefit if I don't get involved in this conversation.

“This is a big deal, Incheon Airport, rather than a faction constraint… it doesn't mean you're going to make hundreds of billions of dollars passing through it. They're probably focusing on institutional investors as well. ”

“This is actually a straw I've been sucking on for years... Where do I get access to this? ”

“We have to do it for the government officials. ”

“There is something called the Customs Office Duty Free Patent Review Committee, and that's where I'm going to decide. But it's not going to be easy. Officials don't talk easily these days. ”

Customs duty-free patent review committee.

I remembered that name. But nothing more accurate came out. A woman who seems to weigh more than me says while trembling.

“I mean, this regime has made the officials so tenacious. I'm in a lot of shape. Mr. Eng, any information? You said your girlfriend was a secretary. ”

The tall man, called Angie, laughed and said.

“Well... let me ask you this. ”

“Call me first when you get the information. I'll give you the right information. ”

“Yes, Joon-Ma.”

I've realized that some people have answers to these questions. But we don't talk here.

‘At least he'll do it because he had an accident. ’

If he has certain information, he will buy the stock first. Then you have to unlock information to maximize your revenue. So where does the information come from?

That app earlier...

I heard a new phone I received. There are no conversations in the app yet.

This meeting is... just... fiction? ’

It was then. At that moment, Kazi, who was next to me, came to me and said,

“What do you think? The pastry here is fine, though. It is often linked to actual sales. ”

But at that time, he lowered his voice and added a single word.

“But real information sharing doesn't work. It's a place where you can compare your face to each other's money and say things you don't like. I tell real stories sometimes... but that happens sometimes. Practical information exchange is chatting later on in the app. when the chapter is open. ”

I was right. I asked him the most curious thing.

“Who created this meeting, by the way? ”

“Oh, you haven't met him yet? ”

“Yes.

At that time, Kaiji pointed to a corner of the meeting.

“Him. MasterT”

I looked back at you.
