The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 114

#114

Jeong-hoon confirmed the location where the Cheonji Association was training assassins.

It was an old building near the pier of Busan Port.

He had gathered Park Chang-soo’s Hwashin Distribution employees at the Incheon warehouse to rescue the children there.

Jeong-hoon went to the sea in front of the warehouse.

The rough waves of the winter sea crashed fiercely.

The Cheonji Association’s bodyguards were confined here.

Most of them had joined the Shinhwa Group.

Those who refused were safely released under Cho Kyung-soo’s guarantee.

They were people who no longer had the will to fight.

“You can depart now, Chairman.”

Park Chang-soo reported to Jeong-hoon.

“Yes, you probably haven’t had enough rest…”

“No, we have to save the children, as you said, Chairman.”

“Let’s go.”

Jeong-hoon, who had been gazing at the waves, got into the car.

“We will depart.”

“Yes.”

Jeong-hoon found it hard to believe that assassins were being trained in Busan.

But the confirmation revealed it was true.

About 100 children were being trained as bodyguards and assassins for the Cheonji Association through harsh methods.

As soon as he confirmed it yesterday, he ordered Park Chang-soo to take over.

The previous orphanage was full of prodigies.

Those children didn’t attack us.

But this time, he didn’t know what would happen.

The combat power of the children being raised as assassins was unpredictable.

So, he ordered them to prepare to the level of attacking the Cheonji Association’s hideout.

He was lost in thought, looking out the window.

A call came from Im Cheol-soo.

“Jeong-hoon, Musk keeps asking when you’re coming?”

“I’m going soon. I should go to New York at the end of the year.”

“What? You’re going to New York this time?”

“Yes, I’m going to take a look at Wall Street this time.”

“Okay. Let me know as soon as the schedule is out. There are many things to book in advance in the United States.”

“Yes, Uncle. And tell Musk to come to Korea if he’s really in a hurry. There are things I want to show him.”

“Okay. I’ll ask him. But he looks so urgent that he might come.”

Hanging up the phone, he thought about Tesla.

Before the regression [referring to Jeong-hoon’s time travel], Tesla was swept up in rumors of bankruptcy, but it was dramatically resolved.

And the stock price soared.

More tempting than the stock price was Tesla’s electric car autopilot system.

Shinhwa Electric and AR Chemical have excellent battery technology.

But their autopilot system was the best.

And Jeong-hoon imagined.

What kind of future would be created if combined with Apple’s software technology?

Jeong-hoon fell asleep while having pleasant dreams.

When he opened his eyes again, it was night.

The sound of waves was roaring in his ears.

“Are you awake? You looked tired, so I didn’t wake you.”

“Is this the place?”

“Yes. Everything is ready.”

“Let’s start right away.”

Jeong-hoon got out of the car.

He nodded, seeing Park Chang-soo looking at him from afar.

The bus next to him made a rough engine sound.

The bus, quickly gaining speed, rushed fiercely towards the heavy gate.

– Kwakwakwang.

It broke through the massive iron gate.

Park Chang-soo’s group did not go inside.

They were waiting at the entrance.

Waiting for the enemies guarding the place to gather towards the bus.

And after a while,

When all the enemies were surrounding the bus, Park Chang-soo’s Hwashin Distribution members surrounded them.

The battle began.

They subdued the Cheonji Association’s bodyguards.

Thanks to their combat experience, their combat power was high.

They quickly brought the guys to their knees.

Then, they began to remove the guys’ combat power according to the procedure.

Now they couldn’t harass people with force.

In the middle of the building, there was a large, empty courtyard.

It was a building about 3 stories high surrounding the empty center.

He looked around, but he couldn’t see the children.

“Where are the children?”

“I think they’re hiding in fear.”

“Or they’re preparing to attack.”

Jeong-hoon assumed the worst.

“What? No way.”

Park Chang-soo had an unbelieving look on his face.

But children raised as assassins…

If they attack, it’s a big problem.

We who came to save the children could never attack them.

As expected.

The children revealed themselves on the 3rd-floor railing.

About 100 children.

From as young as 10 years old to as old as late teens.

In their delicate and small hands were sharp knives.

He couldn’t attack.

But the children attacked with rough but quick movements.

Thanks to the advance notice, they took it seriously without making light of it.

Park Chang-soo’s members retreated as planned, luring the children.

Nevertheless, they were pushed to the first floor much faster than expected.

“Stop. We’ve come to save you.”

Jeong-hoon tried to persuade the children, but there was no response.

The children swung the knives in their hands with cold expressions.

In the end, he had to detonate the prepared anesthetic gas.

Jeong-hoon’s group, who were wearing gas masks they had brought in advance, were fine, but the opponents quickly lost consciousness and collapsed.

“Phew, we almost had a big problem.”

“Because they are opponents we can’t attack. It’s a relief.”

“Shall we move the children to Jungbu City?”

“Yes, please do so. They will need psychological treatment. Contact Shinhwa Hospital and tell them to do their best in psychological treatment.”

“Okay.”

After finishing talking with Park Chang-soo, Cho Kyung-soo approached while wandering around.

“Chairman. I came to say hello.”

“Why suddenly?”

“My wife told me to go and say hello. She said you wouldn’t even accept the hospital bill, so I wanted to thank you somehow.”

“It’s nothing. It’s enough if you are healthy and happy. Don’t worry too much.”

“Chairman. Thank you again.”

Cho Kyung-soo choked up and kept bowing his head. Kwak Hyun-soo also frowned, looked up, and only looked at the sky.

‘Ha, embarrassing.’

Jeong-hoon avoided the spot.

He didn’t want to see the two people tearing up.

The wind was blowing fiercely because it was by the sea.

He listened to the sound of the waves while facing the strong wind.

And he dreamed of the children’s hopeful future.

Finally, he saved these children who were left in one corner of his heart.

He felt it last time too, but saving children was different from simply saving people.

It felt like finding lost hope.

In fact, the Cheonji Association’s prodigies are now showing their talents in various fields.

They were showing off their talents in various competitions such as math contests, science invention contests, and computer contests in the province.

A huge and powerful force that doesn’t stop like the waves was hidden in the children’s small and delicate bodies.

Jeong-hoon was so happy to take it out and let them fly.

Children raised as assassins.

The children who use their bodies will have excellent athletic abilities.

He was planning to spare no support so that they could become the best in whatever field they wanted, whether it was sports or studies.

He was lost in pleasant imagination while looking at the waves.

A red laser pointer was drawn on the sea.

‘What is it? I’ve seen it in movies… It’s a sniper. Damn it!’

He threw himself down and hid.

With a dull noise, a bullet was embedded in the sea.

‘Those crazy bastards, now they’re sniping?’

“Young Master!”

Kwak Hyun-soo was approaching with his body hunched over.

“I’m okay.”

After checking Jeong-hoon’s condition, Kwak Hyun-soo quickly returned and brought the car.

He stuck it close to Jeong-hoon’s side.

Jeong-hoon, who got into the car, sighed.

Fortunately, the second gunshot did not sound.

“Phew, that could have been a disaster.”

“We were lucky. They’re using guns… It’s like they’ve moved the military. Phew, I think I’ll have a lot to do when I go to Seoul.”

“Yes. Young Master. I’ll find out who’s moving.”

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator deeply.

Jeong-hoon’s Bugatti roared and sped through Busan.

Meanwhile, Code Zero was embarrassed.

He thought he would never be able to avoid it.

His reaction speed had already surpassed humans.

“It’s me. The guy dodged it.”

“He’s not a guy you can easily get rid of.”

“I’m sorry, Minister.”

“Deal with it in one go without making mistakes. If you stir it up unnecessarily, it becomes more difficult to deal with.”

“I’ll approach and eliminate him.”

“Do as you please. It would be nice to bring him alive, but it doesn’t matter. Instead, you have to cut off his breath as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Cheon Seong-han hung up the phone.

Han Pan-soo’s order to bring him alive was no longer on his mind.

Only his will was the most important.

The guy who darkens In-sun’s face.

The guy who touched the Chairman’s face.

‘Yoon Jeong-hoon, I’ll tear you apart and kill you.’

Cheon Seong-han’s crazy murderous intent was pouring out of his whole body.

***

Jeong-hoon strengthened the security of all his places due to the sudden assassination attempt.

He proceeded with the construction to replace all the windows of the Shinhwa Group headquarters and his grandmother’s house in Seongbuk-dong [an affluent neighborhood in Seoul] with bulletproof glass.

Under the leadership of Shinhwa Security, which is in charge of the security of Shinhwa Group, construction was underway here and there.

He was working in a chaotic situation.

“Chairman, you have a visitor.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s Elon Musk.”

‘Is this friend very urgent?’

Elon Musk came directly to receive investment.

“Hi, how have you been?”

Jeong-hoon held out his hand to Musk, and he responded with a smile.

“Well, you devilish friend.”

“Is it because of the investment? I was going to go to the United States, but I don’t have time these days.”

“What can I do? The person in a hurry is looking for you… What do you think about self-driving cars?”

Musk used the straightforward way of speaking unique to Westerners.

He didn’t beat around the bush.

“It will be achieved soon. But are you confident?”

“Of course, but I don’t have enough money. All the investors in Silicon Valley said it would take decades, but Mr. Yoon unexpectedly evaluates it optimistically.”

“Technology is developing much faster than we think. And you’re doing it. A quirky but genius!”

“I’m glad to be recognized by someone as great as you, heh… I’ll tell you right away. Invest in Tesla.”

“How much?”

“About $100 million. I’ll guarantee up to 30% of the shares.”

“Hmm, 30% is too small. Should I become a devil again?”

“What?”

Musk’s face hardened in an instant.

He seemed to remember the humiliating retreat from the last negotiation.

“I’m kidding, haven’t you eaten yet? I’ll treat you to Korean food.”

“It’s too early for lunch yet.”

“There are a few places to go before that.”

Jeong-hoon decided to show Musk Pangyo and Dongdaemun.

Jeong-hoon took Musk in his Bugatti and went to the Pangyo construction site.

Huge construction machines were leveling the ground.

“There’s nothing here.”

“Imagine. That place will become Korea’s Silicon Valley. It’s called Techno Valley.”

Jeong-hoon pointed to the vast land.

“In this wide place?”

“Only IT companies can come here. Including Tesla.”

“Here?”

‘If only IT companies were gathered in this vast land, there would be tremendous synergy.’

“Are you telling me to come here?”

“Not necessarily, but I was wondering what it would be like if I could work here with Musk.”

“Hmm, this is not a scale that I can decide on my own.”

“Of course.”

Jeong-hoon went to Dongdaemun next.

The Dongdaemun Stadium was originally scheduled to be demolished in 2008, but Jeong-hoon moved up the timeline.

The demolition work was in progress.

He showed the blueprint of Apple’s research center that would suit this place.

“What is this?”

“Apple’s Global R&D Center”

“Why is it being established in Korea?”

“Because the owner is Korean.”

Musk’s eyes widened.

“Hey, Apple, along with Microsoft, is the pride of the United States. How can a Korean own it?”

Musk had an unbelieving expression.

“Really? You’re only going to believe it if I show you.”

Jeong-hoon called Jobs.

“Hi Robert Yoon.”

“Hi Jobs.”

After a while, Jeong-hoon finished talking with Jobs.

He looked at Musk.

“How is it? Do you believe it now?”

“Ha, how on earth! I can’t believe it even after seeing it. But is there a reason to build a research center here?”

“In the future, all changes will start in Seoul. Self-driving cars, new kinds of cell phones, you can achieve everything you dream of.”

“Phew, I want to be a part of this too.”

“I want you to be with me too, Musk. I want to create a self-driving system with Tesla.”

“Hmm. Now I know for sure why Steve Chen sold you YouTube.”

There was a different light in Musk’s eyes.

The dream he had imagined,

Jeong-hoon seemed like someone who could make it come true.

“I’m the largest shareholder, but I have no intention of interfering with management. I didn’t buy the company. I saved a friend who draws the future.”

“Cough. If you only say such wonderful things…”

“Wonderful, I’m just telling the truth. Aren’t you, Steve Chen, and Jobs and Peter Thiel all wonderful friends? How great would it be if we gathered and drew a new future.”

Musk couldn’t stop his heart from beating wildly.

‘How on earth can he grow so much? It hasn’t been many years.’

How did Yoon Jeong-hoon become such a giant?

When I first saw him, he was just a cheeky high school student.

He looked at his hands.

He thought about what he had now.

It was too shabby compared to Yoon Jeong-hoon.

In fact, what was more shabby than money was the size of the dream.

He tries to dominate the future with a huge dream like a conqueror.

But he only thought about making a lot of money.

If he was running, he was flying in the sky.

Musk stared at Jeong-hoon.

He understood exactly why Steve Chen had said that.

“Hey, don’t just be cool by yourself.”

Musk said, looking at Jeong-hoon.

“What do you think about working together?”

“Good.”

Musk readily answered.

Elon Musk,

Acquires Tesla and grows it into a global electric car company.

An icon of innovation who leads the SpaceX and Starlink projects.

He decided to take Jeong-hoon’s hand.

Musk moved his lips.

He carefully said the acquisition price he wanted.

“The acquisition price for Tesla is…”
