When the sum of the stocks’ valuation reached 777.7 billion, the quest to go up to level 4 was opened.

‘When I became level 2, 2 items increased, and when I became level 3, 8 items increased…’

If so, they would give you a much better reward this time.

‘At least 15 events will increase.’

As the stock investment capital increased to hundreds of billions, the rate of return was rapidly declining.

It was only natural that there are only 250 companies with a market capitalization of over 1 trillion in the Korean stock market. Even among the 250, there were many with only a few billions of transactions per day.

In the Korean market, there was no stock that could receive hundreds of billions of won in capital.

‘Still, if the number of items increases, the probability of making more money will increase.’

Then the probability of winning an item with a large transaction amount would increase.

‘Accept the quest.’

When I squeezed my right hand, the pop-up changed.

[Quest: Reach 100 billion real estate assets.

※ This is the standard for registration after sale.

※ Only your name is recognized.

Time limit: 13 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds

Remaining amount: 100 billion]

[However, if completed within 7 days, special compensation will be given]

As before, the time limit and remaining amount appeared in a corner of the field of vision.

[Remaining amount: 100 billion]

‘Well, I haven’t finished any real estate contracts so far.’

There were only two properties bought in New York. However, it was difficult to complete in 7 days because the remaining balance was pushed back.

In particular, the newly contracted place would take more than a week to justify the source of funds.

‘In the end, I have to buy real estate in Korea…’

First, I applied for a withdrawal of 150 billion won. The market had already closed, so even if I applied now, I would request a withdrawal by the end of the market on Tuesday, and then I would not be able to withdraw the money until Thursday.

I started looking around online real estate sites diligently for sale. It was a lot of fun to look at things like shopping with a lot of money.

‘The system takes care of making a building owner.’

With 100 billion won, you could buy most of the buildings in Gangnam. Once again, the high price of New York real estate touched me.

‘Should I buy a house for my parents to live in now?’

As expected, investing in Gangnam was quick to buy real estate worth 100 billion won. The sale price was expensive, and there were reliable brokers there.

‘It’s 10:30 in the evening Korean time…’

It was too late to call.

‘If I receive it, I’ll call you, otherwise I’ll call you later.’

I called Lee Shin-ae.

At the end of the connecting sound that refreshes the ears, Lee Shin-ae’s voice was heard.

{hello. Customer Jaegu Kim.}

“Hello, Shin-ae.”

{Are you abroad?}

“Yes. I’m in New York now.”

{hahahaha. How are you?}

“How are you? Shin-ae, how are you?”

{Sure. What did you call me for? You’re not trying to schedule a meal, are you?}

Laughter could be heard over the phone.

“I’m looking to buy a building and a house.”

{A building and a house?}

“I’m going to visit on Wednesday, but I’m looking for something that can be signed immediately on Thursday and registered on Friday.”

{oh. so fast?}

“Yes.”

It was because of the quest, but it was impossible to say.

I never thought that real estate investment time would be reduced so quickly.

{OK. If you tell us the type you want and the budget range, we will do our best to find out.}

“I want the building to be a place where the monthly rent is good, and please recommend it as the most expensive and good building. I think the budget is within 120 billion won.”

If you ask for 100 billion won, there is a high possibility that you will recommend a building that cannot fill 100 billion won. So I raised the amount a little and called.

There was the sound of breathing through the phone.

{Ugh. A 120 billion building? I’ll definitely look for it!}

With a voice that was more enthusiastic than ever, it seemed like he was ready to run away at any moment.

“And I’d like to find a country house too.”

{A country house?}

“I want it to be a house with a large yard and good security. Please find out the budget within 10 billion won.”

It was a request considering my parents, whose hobby is gardening. While the mother was working, the vegetable garden that the father had grown has now become a healing place for the two of them.

When I got home from work, I often watched the two of them sitting in the garden drinking coffee.

So it would have been nice to have a nice garden.

{I know. Are you running out of time?}

“Yes. Please find it as soon as possible. Time is of the essence.”

{I know. I’ll do my best.}

“If you have anything, please contact me right away. If you don’t answer the phone, please leave a message.”

{Leave it to me. I think of a few good things for sale, so let’s talk with the seller.}

“I will leave it up to you.”

Right after the conversation with Lee Shin-ae ended, I called the airline. The flight schedule needed to be changed. Because I had to go back to Korea as soon as possible and find real estate.

“I would like to change my flight schedule.”

I contacted the department in charge and pulled the time. Originally, the flight was supposed to depart on Wednesday afternoon, but it was changed to departing on Tuesday evening.

As soon as the meeting with Alec was over, I was thinking of leaving for the airport.

{The requested schedule change has been completed. thank you.}

Unfortunately, there were no vacancies in first class, so I had to change to business class, but I was satisfied with not economy class.

‘Because I can spread my legs comfortably.’

The memory of bending my legs and going uncomfortably came to mind.

‘Rather than that, I can’t just trust Shin-ae and let go.’

I searched other local real estate like this. I never imagined that I would spend a day in New York looking at Korean real estate sites.

However, as I looked around the buildings I had never seen before, time flew by in an instant. Thanks to that, I was able to make more phone calls to a few properties in the evening.

“Yes. Please do not worry about the budget and find out.”

“I’m looking for land worth investing in.”

“I’m looking for urgent sales only. Registration must be finished on Friday.”

It was past 12:00 in the evening as I grabbed the phone and talked. 25 places were contacted. When I called for a few hundred billion in moderation, the attitude changed in an instant.

There were people who acted as if they would remove the liver, but I didn’t have much trust.

‘You’ll have to meet me in person. Hmm.’

Fatigue came over me, probably because I had been working my head all day and concentrating.

‘I’m going to sleep now.’

I could have been on the phone all night, but since tomorrow is the day I meet Alec, I decided to adjust my condition.

***

The Carver Company’s headquarters were located some distance from downtown Minneapolis. I got a message from Alec Carver the day before, so when I told him the hotel, he sent me a car in the morning.

“(Hello. Vice President Carver, I’m here to pick you up.)”

“(I will leave it up to you.)”

I took the car sent by the Carver Company and moved to the headquarters building. At the entrance, a sign reading [(Responsible for the world’s table)] greeted visitors.

‘It’s the world’s table. That’s right.’

Unlike the splendid and large buildings of New York, the crude but spacious Carver headquarters caught my eye. The car turned smoothly along the company’s road and stopped in front of the lobby of the largest building.

“(From here on, that friend will guide you.)”

A woman in comfortable business casual clothes opened the door.

“(welcome.)”

She guided me into Alec’s office. The building was simple inside as well as outside. Pictures were hung in a simple hallway without fancy interiors, and there were many flower pots in the hallway like a food company.

An employee knocked on the door of the vice president’s office.

“(Vice President. A guest has arrived.)”

“(Please come in.)”

“(Yes. Let’s go in.)”

She gestured as she opened the door. As I entered, Alec Carver got up and approached me.

“(Mr. Jaegu. Welcome.)”

“(thank you for the invitation.)”

“(Please sit over here.)”

It was a simple but luxurious room. I sat on a sofa that didn’t have fancy decorations, but it was old and had an antique feel. I could tell that it was an expensive sofa because the feeling of holding my hips and waist was good.

“(You worked hard to come a long way.)”

“(You’re welcome.)”

“(Would you like to have a drink first?)”

He took a juice from the fridge and brought it. There must be a secretary, but I liked the way he moved himself. Because I didn’t get along well with people who pretended to have a position.

“(This is an organic juice launched by our company this time. It tastes very good because it is extracted from the whole fruit. Do you like mangoes?)”

“(I can’t eat because I don’t have it.)”

He opened the mango juice pack and held it out according to the cup. I liked it because I felt the little consideration.

“(Eat it.)”

“(thank you.)”

took a sip The rich taste spreads in your mouth with a little bit of flesh. It was a very high-quality juice.

“(It’s delicious.)”

“(Thank you. Shall we get straight to the point?)”

“(Yes.)”

He pressed the remote, and a screen came down on the wall next to the entrance. Then the presentation screen appeared.

“(If you want to invest, you need to know our company first.)”

I already knew what kind of place it was through preliminary research. The Carver Company was a huge corporation with several plantations around the world.

It was spread out in several areas and was growing several crops, so it was sufficiently risk-distributed. In addition, food production was far greater than consumption in Korea, so it seemed that if we maintained a good relationship with him, we would be able to cope with food shortages in the unlikely event.

In conclusion, Carver Company was a company worth investing in.

‘It’s because they don’t accept investment.’

Still, the explanation about the company he heard from his mouth would be a different flavor.

“(please.)”

Alec started his presentation with easy words. Thanks to the simple tone without rhetoric, the contents were easily heard.

There was a sense of beautifying the founder, but that was common to all companies. Other than that, it was no different from what I researched through the internet.

‘This is what I know so far.’

After the introduction of the company and the approximate sales figures, Alec stopped.

He opened his mouth with a serious face.

“(What I’m going to tell you from now on is not public yet, so I need to sign a security oath. Would you mind?)”

It wasn’t something I could refuse anyway.

“(Sure.)”

A security oath was placed in front of me. I listened to it and read it carefully from beginning to end. As a result of looking through the internet dictionary with permission, it was judged that there was no toxin resistance.

I wrote down my personal information, signed it, and handed it to him.

“(Here you are.”)”

“(Thank you. Then we will talk about business expansion in Vietnam.)”

Vietnam was a very famous granary. However, it is said that the grain belt is in danger of disappearing due to drought caused by climate change.

Instead of investing capital and technology to overcome this crisis, Carver Company said that it was authorized to operate in Vietnam.

“(Because the person who won this time is from our side.)”

It was said that the business gained momentum after the election of the person whose slogan was the revival of the grain belt, which is directly connected to the food supply. The other side had first proposed a plan to develop in conjunction with other regions, but it is said that this required a larger investment than the Carver Company thought.

In order to continue the relationship with Vietnam in the future, it was decided to increase the scale of investment, but it was a burden to bear the risk alone, so he said he was recruiting additional investors.

“(As much as possible, we invited people who are related to Vietnam business, but there are few seats left.)”

“(I’m lucky.)”

“(You were really lucky. You made a relationship with us at just this right time. It is the first time that we have received such a large amount of investment, and there will be no more in the future.)”

It was said that if you miss this opportunity, you will not have the opportunity to invest in Carver Company.

Although the profit won’t be much compared to the money earned with the system, it was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss in terms of business diversification.

There were many things in the world that could not be done with only money, and it was not an opportunity that came easily to establish a relationship with an influential company like the Carver Company.

I received a lot of business cards at the party, but not all of them made me a colleague.

“(Mr. Jaegu. Would you like to invest?)”

“(How much can you invest?)”

He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. It wasn’t a bad laugh.

“(You have eyes to see. Elisa seems to like it.)”

What is this again?

“(Currently, Mr. Jaegu can invest up to $30 million.)”

“(Invest at the maximum.)”

He answered immediately without hesitation.

30 million dollars is 37.5 billion in our money. It was money that could be earned in one day when the market opened.

A few hundred billion would have been a concern, but a few hundred billion was cheap enough to establish a relationship with the Carver Group.

“(It’s good that the decision is quick.)”

Because I had already thought of everything. I was thinking of investing up to 100 billion won. It was not a business that lost money from a business point of view.

If I had been an office worker, it would have been a business that I would have wanted to jump into at least equity investment.

He opened his mouth with a strange smile that felt mischievous.

“(There is one condition.)”

“(What is?)”

“(Please don’t tell Elisa about the investment.)”

I don’t know why, but it wasn’t an unacceptable condition. She didn’t talk about her family either, so there was no reason to bring it up.

“(All right.)”

“(Then, shall we talk more about investing?)”

In earnest, adjustments were made to the schedule, investment size and period.

***

After negotiating with Alec Carver, I immediately departed for Korea, alternating between domestic and international flights. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the plane.

Since I arrived at the airport at night, I unpacked my luggage at a nearby hotel and slept soundly. I wouldn’t be doing real estate at night anyway.

the next morning.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I took a taxi and headed to Gangnam. While in New York, Lee Shin-ae recommended more than six listings.

In the car heading to Gangnam, I entered the value that popped up into stock programs.

Entering Gangnam, a large forest of buildings caught my eye. All of them were expensive and flashy buildings.

‘You mean one of these will be mine? I hope it’s a good thing.’
