God of Money

Chapter 24: <God of money>

As soon as Woosung returned to the office, Yoon Gihwan grinned.

“Newbie’s back! You went to meet the CEO, didn’t you?”

Park Junwoo and Kim Yonggun also looked at Woosung with curiosity.

When Woosung nodded, they exclaimed.

“Really? What did you guys talk about? Did he offer you a job too?”

“Nothing like that. He introduced me to some of our HTS customers.”

“Customers?”

Park Junwoo asked.

“You mean the VIPs? Didn’t we just hear the VIPs loved your work?”

Yoon Gihwan replied excitedly.

“That’s right! VIPs!”

“Yes. I met those people. One of them even gave me his business card.”

Woosung brought out the shiny golden card.

Park Junwoo didn’t seem to recognize it but Kim Yonggung’s eyes widened.

“T… this guy! Did you meet him?”

When Woosung nodded, Kim Yonggun explained excitedly.

“This is the founder of the famous website ‘Fire Ant Trading Club.’ Other famous traders charge money to give lessons, but this guy provides free seminars and does a lot of charity works.”

Kim Yonggun stared at the business card. Woosung asked him.

“How do you know this?”

“I… I am a member of that website too. I am interested in stock trading.”

Yoon Gihwan reprimanded Kim Yonggun firmly.

“I told you not to get involved in stock trading. You can’t get involved as an employee of a financial company.”

Kim Yonggun denied nervously.

“I… I’m not doing it. I am just studying it for the future.”

Yoon Gihwan repeated himself.

“Do NOT do it, ok?”

Woosung stepped in to change the topic.

“Now that the presentation is over, there will be many people asking for help. Let’s make sure we do a good job.”

Yoon Gihwan asked Woosung.

“Newbie, are you sure you are new to this? You sound like a PM.”

Woosung gave a nonchalant reply.

“Haha, I’m just working hard.”

Everyone smiled and went back to work.

***

There were four divisions in the IT department of a stock trading company.

Account.

Channel.

Information.

Infra.

The main aspects of the account system were dealing with transactions and account balances. Channel system focused on HTS and homepage maintenance. Information sector worked on CRM, which was collecting users’ data to recommend appropriate products.

Infra dealt with the hardware such as L2, L3, and IBM mainframe.

ST took care of the account system and Daesan managed the channel. Daeyang dealt with information while M3 Soft maintained infra. Daeyang was the head of all these companies as well. The fact that Daesan won the development process consulting deal with Nuri Finances was something Daeyang was not happy about.

Yoon Gihwan forwarded an email to Woosung.

“I just received the word that Daeyang and ST won’t follow your idea. M3 will be the only one in this trial.”

Woosung opened his email and read the first message.

It was a politely written rejection.

“We researched the agile method ourselves and decided it was not applicable for us at this point. If the trial by other companies shows success, then we will accept the system.”

It wasn’t a flat-out no. They were being sneaky. Yoon Gihwan murmured cynically.

“So they are saying they won’t apply it now. They’ll wait and see what happens.”

Woosung tightened his lips and nodded.

“They want to see what happens.”

“They are always like this. I am used to it. They are trying to minimize their responsibility. Read the one from ST too. They didn’t even try to be polite.”

“With many years of experience, ST has developed its own system that is both effective and productive. We do not believe agile is better than our method.”

“They are more honest about it at least.”

Yoon Gihwan murmured in irritation.

“Tsk. What are they going to do when they realize they’ve made a mistake?”

So it was only M3 Soft and Daesan.

‘Agile may not be the answer to everything, but I will make it work.’

He was from the future.

This was an easy game to win.

“We should first arrange a meeting with M3 Soft. They are currently using the system monitoring, right?”

Yoon Gihwan nodded and Woosung grinned.

“Then I have a good idea.”

The members shuddered at Woosung’s evil smile.

***

When Woosung came home, he sat in front of his computer. He searched the website Fire Ant Trading Club.

Avid followers of the program nicknamed the founder the “Fire Ant.”

Jang Gwangchul.

Woosung joined the club posthaste and studied the website. He read the comments and realized that here, Jang Gwangchul was revered as the “God of stock trading.”

“I almost lost everything, but you saved me, ‘Fire Ant.'”

“I was on the verge of divorce, but your advice really helped. Thank you so much.”

“I almost lost all my savings, but you saved me.”

It seemed like the members almost saw Jang Gwangchul as a star.

“If these comments are true, he may be an okay guy.”

Due to his past, Woosung was always suspicious of everyone nowadays. He didn’t want anyone to betray again.

“Huh? He also provided his Cyworld address.”

When Woosung clicked it, there were daily reports and photos uploaded by Jang Gwangchul.

“+2,100 dollars”

“Not much earning today…”

“+8,000 dollars”

“I… think I’m awesome.”

“+2,200 dollars”

“I don’t mind paying high taxes, but this kind of income won’t let me.”

Even on bad days, he was making at least a thousand dollars a day. Woosung could now understand why people admired him. He was even getting a bit jealous. After reading through the website, he turned off the monitor.

Before the screen darkened, his ID on the website was visible.

“God of money.”

That was the name Woosung chose for himself.
