Another Organization (2)
“Then, let’s plan to take 10,000 units in two weeks.”
“Really!?”
“Yes.”
“To be able to produce 10,000 units in two weeks…”
“We’re also providing pre-made androids.”
Of course, I didn’t reveal all my intentions.
Catherine felt a slight pang of regret.
“If we were to purchase 50,000 units while we’re at it…”
“50,000 units…”
Again, the sheer scale of the US defense budget is astonishing.
10,000 units amount to a whopping 50 billion dollars.
In Korean currency, that’s about 60 trillion won, and 50,000 units would be 300 trillion won.
I felt like my brain was shutting down as this enormous amount of money was about to come in.
Even if I’m ripping them off, is it okay to sell them for $5 million per unit? But this is the price the US suggested.
And it was highly likely to become the standard price.
“Hmm.”
“Shall we continue the detailed negotiations tomorrow?”
“No. Let’s go home.”
“To your residence, sir?”
“Let’s have dinner and continue the discussion.”
Catherine glanced at Kalburn, assessing whether he was at a level to hear such important information.
I answered immediately.
“He is my right-hand man.”
“I understand. Then let’s go to your place.”
Arriving in front of the house, I rang the bell.
Sua and Sujeong came running.
“Daddy!”
“Daddy!”
My two daughters jumped up and hugged me.
“Did you behave?”
“Yes! My sister taught me the multiplication tables!”
“Oh, well done!”
“Hehe. I memorized up to the 99 times table!”
“…….”
Was that what the multiplication tables meant? [In Korean, the multiplication tables are traditionally learned up to 9×9, hence ’99 times table’.]
I didn’t think she had memorized it so much as she had just grasped the concept. Could Sua possibly be a genius surpassing Sujeong?
No.
Sujeong was already speaking three languages at that age. No matter how outstanding Sua is, she probably isn’t at Sujeong’s level.
Director Catherine watched me talking to Sua with a blank expression.
No matter how you look at it, Sua is not even over 20 months old. But the fact that such a child is speaking fluently and even tackling mathematics is absurd.
Sua’s boasting didn’t end there.
“Hehe, I learned French today too!”
“French?”
“Yes!”
“What about English?”
“I learned it all!”
I glanced at Catherine.
Now she seemed to be beyond astonishment and into sheer shock.
My wife came running out wearing an apron.
“Welcome home. You’ve worked hard. But who are these people…?”
“This is…”
“I am Kalburn, a major shareholder of M Group.”
Kalburn took the lead.
The fact that he was a major shareholder of M Group was quite widely known, so he introduced himself as such. With Catherine present, there was no need to hide Kalburn’s identity.
Catherine greeted her.
“I’m Catherine, the director of the CIA.”
“Oh my, a high-ranking official has come.”
“Compared to your wife, not at all.”
Catherine knew that Lisa was qualified to be the successor of the Cotton family.
“Has everyone eaten?”
“I’m very hungry.”
“Come on, I’ve made plenty.”
Although the number of people had increased a bit, my wife always made plenty of food, so there was no chance of running out.
After the meal, we had tea in the living room.
Catherine stared at Sua, who was fluently speaking English, and was at a loss for words.
Lisa was British, and naturally, she often spoke in English. The fact that Sua learned English early was probably thanks to our family atmosphere.
But even so.
The fact that Sua had an exceptional brain remained unchanged.
“You have genius daughters.”
“That’s why it’s difficult. Sometimes even I’m surprised.”
“Since the chairman is a genius, it seems your daughters are geniuses too. Could it be that your wife is also…?”
“I’m just ordinary.”
“That’s hard to believe.”
I don’t even know if my wife is a genius or not.
Would Catherine, who became the director of the CIA, know? But I didn’t particularly want to know that fact.
Now I need to finish the business discussion.
“Do you have any particular models you want?”
“Hmm. A model I want?”
“We can do male or female bodies, and you can choose the race. And we can set them up with the same appearance or different appearances.”
“Then, can we increase the height and size? If it doesn’t affect agility, that is.”
“It would have a slight impact.”
“What about strength?”
“Strength is the same.”
Since it moves with magical power, it is naturally the same.
However, if the size increases, it will naturally become a little slower.
Catherine seemed to be deep in thought.
“From what I hear, the female body seems to be the best…”
“That’s true. Small size, agile, and the strength is the same.”
It seemed that Catherine couldn’t make this decision alone.
“Can I make a call to the White House for a moment?”
“Well, go ahead.”
I wasn’t in a hurry.
I could start production tomorrow.
Beside me, Sua and Sujeong were watching the negotiations with fascinating faces.
Sua asked.
“Daddy, how much are you selling each one for?”
“$5 million?”
“How many units?”
“10,000 units.”
“Wow! Then Daddy is earning about 59 trillion 325 billion won!?”
“…….”
It’s surprising, but also new.
So, Sua immediately applied the exchange rate and completed the calculation in an instant.
The employee who came with Catherine and Kalburn stared at Sua with surprised eyes.
“Hahaha. Amazing. Did you say you learned math today?”
“That’s what she says.”
“To be able to calculate that much in one day… Perhaps she will be more successful than the chairman.”
Kalburn was talking about black magic.
A small sigh escaped me.
Sujeong already had the enlightenment to reach the 4th Circle [Referring to a level of magical ability]. If that happens, it would be possible to reach the 5th Circle in an instant.
However, she has not yet reached that level because her growth is not complete.
‘Maybe Sua will participate in the runic interpretation.’
Sujeong would have taught Sua the runes.
If Sua grows up a little more, she might completely decipher the main commentary.
Not long after, Catherine, who had gone out to the veranda, came back in.
“Then I’ll order them as beautiful women.”
“Are you sure?”
“I think they will be useful in many ways. Above all, female bodies are more agile and advantageous than male bodies.”
“Alright.”
She took out the contract.
“What is this?”
“I’ve prepared a contract.”
It’s very quick.
Is the US preparing for war? There’s no reason to rush so urgently otherwise.
“Good. Let’s write it right away.”
In front of the apartment.
After the contract, I exchanged pleasantries with Catherine and decided to part ways.
Catherine grabbed my hand and said.
“Thank you so much.”
“Don’t mention it. It will probably be sold to other countries as well. Don’t be disappointed.”
“Hehe. If they have the economic power, it’s not something we would sanction.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
If the US sanctions me, then it’s war. I’m sorry, but if anyone blocks my path, I had no intention of letting them go.
But if they don’t provoke me and become my sucker, there was no reason not to be kind.
“Ah! And I hope you move to a different house.”
“Why?”
“For a chairman who owns a large corporation to live in an apartment… It doesn’t quite fit, shall we say?”
“I’ll have to discuss it with my wife.”
“Then I’ll see you again next time!”
Catherine got in the car and disappeared.
Kalburn watched the car leave and said with a look of dismay.
“To earn 50 billion dollars in an instant with undead…”
“There’s nothing like this in business.”
“But wasn’t that too much of a rip-off?”
“They say the person who picks up the national money is the owner, right? [A Korean saying implying that whoever can access and utilize government funds is the true power holder.]”
“I guess so.”
Kalburn also said goodbye at this point.
“I’ll be on my way too.”
“Okay. Keep an eye on the movements of those guys named Curse or whatever.”
“I will.”
Kalburn also left.
Now I have to prepare for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day the vampires who have completed their training will be deployed to the front lines. And immediately, the second class of trainees will enter.
100 people will be deployed tomorrow, and another 100 will be deployed a week later.
I thought the vampires would play their part sufficiently.
The next morning.
I was hurrying to get ready for work because I had a lot to do today.
Ding-dong!
A guest came in the morning.
When I opened the door, Director Lee Seul-gi was stamping her feet with a very excited face.
I’ll see her at the company soon, so what’s going on from the morning?
“Chairman!”
“You’re going to make my ears fall off. This is an apartment, you know?”
Lee Seul-gi came into the house and gulped down a glass of water.
“Is it true that there was a big contract yesterday!?”
“Contract? Ah, the android sales contract?”
I stretched.
I hadn’t even had breakfast yet.
A delicious smell was wafting from the kitchen. I always prepared a simple breakfast, but my wife forced me to eat it, so I ate a simple breakfast of bread and jam, milk, and an egg.
“Why are you talking as if it’s nothing?”
“I’m still not used to it.”
“Isn’t it a 60 trillion won contract!?”
“It was.”
“Even just a 60 trillion won contract from the United States… Enormous contracts will pour in from each country, and you will enter the ranks of the world’s richest people in an instant!”
“Hmm.”
“Aren’t you happy?”
“It’s not that I’m not, but it feels like things are going too easily. With this much money changing hands, flies are bound to swarm.”
“Ah!”
That was something that could be expected.
It wasn’t just a few pennies, but a deal that could be worth hundreds of trillions of won. Those profits come back as net profit.
Soo Science is my personal company. It wasn’t even a corporation, it just meant I could spend the money personally.
Soo Science was not bound by anything.
I should be happy that so much money is coming in, but somehow I have a feeling that something is going to happen. I also wondered if I had opened Pandora’s Box.
“Each country will plant a lot of spies.”
“Can you stop them?”
“Stopping them is no problem.”
“Then isn’t it okay!?”
“I’m starting to think I might have to start a war.”
I also thought that it would be difficult to protect what I have with just the 6th Circle.
If I get that much money in my hands, black magic organizations around the world will not stand still, and I could easily expect spies to come in from each country.
I scratched my head once and decided to shake off my thoughts.
“Well, let them come. They probably won’t see anything good.”
I felt sorry for the spies who would come in the future, but even if they attacked Soo Science, they would not be able to get anything.
As Catherine said, this technology was not of this world.
