“Nuri Finances, Coconut, and BNP Paribas sign contracts for international money transfer system.”

“Chinese and Japanese banks to use Coconut cryptocurrency for international money transfer.”

In the new years, many banks in the world began to announce their contracts with Coconut Bank. It was all thanks to Julia who has been traveling around the world. Woosung arranged all the meetings, but Julia was the one who got the contracts signed.

Woosung said to Julia, “Good job.”

“This is only the beginning. I heard JP is planning something though. Should we be worried?”

“Don’t worry.”

“So what’s next?”

“Hmm… It would be better for fewer people to know about it.”

“So I’m not important enough to know about it?”

“I’m saying you should relax and enjoy the show now.”

“You want me to be passive. I hate that.”

“You already know what will happen, Julia.”

“I can guess the final result, but I want to know how we will get there.”

“Do you know how big KND is?”

Julia shook her head. She was focused only on Coconut Bank.

Woosung continued, “If we include the Korean Business Agency’s subsidiaries, it’s beyond anything in the world. It will get even bigger now. Coconut Coin can be used to make purchases at Home Mart. You can even buy cars at Sungyong and BMW. XFeed fees can be also paid with Coconut Coins.”

“You have created an empire.”

“That’s right. We also now have a transfer system with Nuri Finances and BNP Paribas.”

Woosung continued slowly, “It all began in Korea. Cryptocurrency is starting to replace the money system, and it will spread to the rest of the world.”

“How about the rumor that the governments of many countries will stop this from happening?”

“Haha, you mean just the US? Because many other countries are showing interest in destroying the dollar system.”

“So you think it will be the US against the rest of the world?”

“Kind of, but I don’t plan on rejecting US completely. If they are willing to work with us, I am all game.”

“Pardon?”

“Money makes everything better. With money, you can turn your enemy into your friend. Do you understand?”

Julia nodded and replied, “Yeah.”

“They are the idiots who didn’t take this great opportunity to invest. Such idiots shouldn’t be allowed to rule the world.”

Julia stared at Woosung. She started to understand what Woosung was trying to say.

“Then you mean… There are some in US who supports your plan…”

Woosung shushed Julia, “Shh. That’s all I can say.”

Julia nodded slowly.

“KND releases Blue S4 and the world’s first AMOLED TV.”

“KND plans to produce other home appliances as well.”

“ANIX share price goes up 10% thanks to Blue S4 sales.”

Woosung quickly pushed Daeyang out of the market. Daeyang’s stock price continued to decline.

Choi Taemin gritted his teeth and asked Suk Jinmyung, “Any news from JP?”

“Not yet.”

“Just what are those key developers doing? We paid millions to poach them yet they haven’t done anything.”

“It is a little strange. Our own people told me these developers have minimal skills and knowledge.”

“Did we just get duped?”

“I don’t think so. I know for a fact that they have been treated like the top developers at KND.”

“I see. Phew. How are the banks reacting?”

Suk Jinmyung flinched. He was afraid to give Choi Taemin the bad news, but he had no choice.

“The thing is… When the banks asked Kang Woosung for repayments, he apparently did so immediately.”

Choi Taemin sighed deeply. He was afraid this would happen.

Money makes more money.

KND products were being sold out quickly. Kang Woosung was making so much money.

“Did you hear anything from Ahyun?”

“Ahyun isn’t doing well either. With Kang Woosung’s new BMW…”

Choi Taemin swallowed nervously.

Suk Jinmyung continued, “Ahyun is currently letting go of many of its high-ranking officials to make ends meet.”

“That’s bad.”

“So they are not in a position to help us.”

Suk Jinmyung glanced at Choi Taemin nervously.

Choi Taemin asked, “What?”

“The thing is, we may need to do the same in our company.”

“At Daeyang?”

Suk Jinmyung nodded and replied, “Yes. We might be doing fine now, but our future is so uncertain. If we continue like this, we may start having net losses…”

“Loss?”

“…”

Choi Taemin sighed deeply. His hands and feet were shaking. His lips started to bleed from biting down so hard. He was angry.

He asked, “You’re telling me that there is nothing we can do to destroy KND?”

“We are doing everything JP suggested, but we haven’t had any success.”

“How about the government?”

“We contacted Lee Sunghyun, but… He replied back asking for election funds instead.”

Choi Taemin breathed hard. He couldn’t calm down.

“So Ahyun, the government, and JP are all no helping us. Kang Woosung is becoming even stronger. He is destroying Daeyang.”

Suk Jinmyung nodded in fear.

“How about our subsidiaries?”

“Not great.”

“So this could be the end for us.”

Choi Taemin’s eyes looked crazy.

He ordered, “He needs to die. Kill Kang Woosung if necessary, or else, I will kill you.”

Korean Business Agency meeting.

Many of the big companies in Korea gathered here.

“He made us come, yet where is he? How could he make us wait?”

One CEO complained.

Another CEO replied, “I know. No respect at all.”

However, a CEO of KND’s subsidiary company added, “The meeting time hasn’t started yet, so why are you guys in such a hurry? We should be thankful to Kang Woosung. Remember how Daeyang used to treat us? Daeyang wouldn’t even pay us on time for our materials and products.”

The two CEOs who were complaining replied grudgingly, “Hmm. I guess.”

“And look around here. We are only small fishes in this room.”

Indeed, many bigger companies’ CEOs were waiting patiently. They owned companies that directly worked with KND.

“Even they are waiting quietly, so we must do the same.”

A few minutes later, Julia walked into the conference room.

She explained how Coconut Coins will be used to make payments from now on.

“These coins can be converted to cash at Nuri Finances and Bitmain, or you can use it directly at any KND companies to make purchases and services.”

Some CEOs couldn’t understand. They raised their hands.

“It sounds like this will replace the money as a currency. Am I correct?”

“Think of it as a reward point system.”

Woosung added, “We will make sure this currency can be used as real money.”

Many frowned.

Woosung continued quickly, “I’m sure many of you are curious why we are doing this, but those who work with international companies will understand the reasoning. I am planning to create a universal currency.”

One by one, people started to nod.
