Money-grubbing Necromancer (143)
Demonstration
Boohoo!
Vehicles running continuously from morning to night.
I already had an inkling that Isabella’s performance wasn’t fake when she first appeared… … .
Seeing it with my own eyes was a whole other story.
-There’s no chance that this is a manipulation… …?
―It’s being broadcast live, and there are drones and cameras inside and outside the vehicle, and foreign media outlets are all gathered there filming?
-Wake up lol It’s Isabella, the promotional ambassador lol
-Isn’t there a black crane that hasn’t bought Ilseong Full? LOL
―Right now, all the American battery companies are going bankrupt lol
-Hold on tight, lol the circuit is coming lol
-Black Monday lol
Panic cell.
The act of throwing all stocks away in fear.
That’s what the US stock market is like now.
There was chaos last night, but I can say for sure that it wasn’t as bad as this. At least the circuit breaker went off once and then it recovered.
After that, the index showed signs of holding its ground, defending itself at the -2.6% level.
It’s different now.
As the number of times Voltron circled the stadium increased, the indices also continued to fall. A dramatic rebound after the circuit breaker like yesterday?
There was no such thing.
Even for the average person who doesn’t know much about technology, there’s a huge difference between 1,000 km and 3,000 km on a single charge.
Moreover, the gap felt by technicians was even greater.
Battery industry in the US?
Everyone lost their will to fight.
Wall Street was screaming too. Decades of American hegemony. It was not just Gates, it was technology.
Naturally, the stock price continued to rise, surpassing the highest of the highest. It was a time when even beginners in stocks were told to just buy American dividend stocks if they didn’t know what to do.
But the circuit broke?
S&P -9%.
―9.1%.
―9.3%.
.
.
“Sell them, sell them all! Sell all the battery-related stocks, even the underwear!”
“Save the people!”
The problem was that this wave would not end in just one day.
Are there only one or two industries that use batteries?
The situation is that the apple is showing a cool plunge with a -5% drop right now. There was no way to prevent the circuit from exploding again tomorrow and the day after.
The White House was also in chaos due to the unprecedented situation.
President Robert.
He was sighing, his head resting on his hand as if he had a headache.
‘shit.’
Tolerance of entry into the battery industry.
It was one of the things he asked for when I last met Kim Min-woo.
This was something Robert also agreed with.
battery?
It was an area where the United States held hegemony.
A field in which many of the world’s leading companies have thrown down the gauntlet, but none have succeeded.
That’s why.
That’s what we agreed on.
But, less than two weeks after agreeing to that, something strange popped up.
He called together the engineers and scientists and asked:
“… … How good is that thing’s performance?”
“To put it jokingly, it’s like torturing an alien. Right now, American batteries are no match for it.”
“The technology gap is at least 20 years. The combination of materials is so complex that making a copycat is nearly impossible.”
“ha…….”
Robert sighed.
Looking at recent trends in Korea’s exports and imports, it seems right to assume that mass production preparations have already been completed. The enormous amount of resources coming from China.
Moreover, considering that they are continuing to expand their factories, we can assume that production itself is not that difficult.
Of course, it will be difficult to meet all global demand, so for the time being we will only export to some countries… … .
That alone would have been a disaster for the battery industry. It was a bonus to be lobbying the White House here and there, screaming for help.
That was understandable.
Companies that use batteries, such as Apple, have already reduced their orders and are trying to meet the deadline in some way.
He called his close associates together and said:
“… … Let’s think about what the best solution would be here.”
“There are ways to pressure Korea by using sanctions or embargoes, but… … .”
“It’s not easy. I’ve already signed an official contract with that guy Kim Min-woo. It even includes a clause that states that we’ll tolerate the battery industry. Of course, if we go around it, it’s not like there’s no way we can take such measures… … .”
at that time.

The CIA director spoke cautiously.
“Mr. President, Kim Min-woo has a history of waiting for the Chairman in the middle of Beijing. He has a very bad temper, so he will never stay still.
“… … That’s right. That’s the problem. If that’s the case, how do you think Kim Min-woo will act?”
“… … We will strengthen solidarity with China. Since he broke his promise first, he will also confront the Chairman without hesitation.”
“Ugh… … .”
“Not only that, we American Awakened people might lose our drive for the future. Kim Min-woo’s education is worth it. There’s also the issue of supplying the best elixir. They’ll probably all spread it out.”
There was also some bad news from the scientific community.
“Mr. President. The technology that Kim Min-woo has just revealed is a kind of super-gap technology. If we impose sanctions, you should also consider that our American companies will not be able to use slime batteries. Our competitiveness will be greatly reduced.”
“There are also many problems on the military side. The diving distance between those with slime batteries and those without will be different right away.”
“… … I guess so.”
Although the power of these weapon systems has diminished compared to the past thanks to the Awakening, that does not mean they are unimportant.
“Then, do you think I should just accept it?”
The staff fell silent at those words.
The loss of America’s technological hegemony. Although it is only in the battery sector, the impact will not be small.
“… … It’s a difficult problem. All things considered, I think compromise is the best option.”
‘This is driving me crazy.’
compromise?
Is that easy?
The story of how we can laugh together is when we share the benefits.
But what does the US have to share in the profits from that slime battery?
At best, Korea is transferring technology and the two countries are monopolizing it. Do you think they would transfer it in a reasonable manner?
I only met him briefly, but Kim Min-woo was definitely not an easy person.
They’ll probably ask for a lot in return.
Robert’s face turned sad as he saw his hair starting to fall out.
“… … Okay, I understand. Everyone, go out and see.”
He sighed and picked up the phone after biting the personnel.
In the end, one way or another.
The first one to contact him was none other than the United States.
* * *
‘It goes on and on coolly.’
Voltron keeps running as if he’s not going to budge even if he runs all night.
Unfortunately, Isabella didn’t take on the role of ambassador for that car, but that was okay.
Rather, it was thanks to this that the perception that slime batteries were real spread. This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at the stock prices of American battery-related companies.
at that time.
A call came in on my phone.
It was a very familiar number.
He answered the phone with a big smile.
“Yes. This is Kim Min-woo.”
– This is Robert. I think you probably know why I walked.
“Have you reached a conclusion?”
– I will keep my promise. However, I hope that we can coexist. If all the battery companies go bankrupt, the United States will also be in great trouble.
“Yes. Symbiosis. What a great word.”
Living together.
What wonderful words.
Kim Min-woo was also fully willing to do that.
However, this side should hold the leash.
“We need a lot of production plants. I’ll share the technology with you. All you have to do is give us a generous royalty. Let’s see how long the contract will be. I think it’ll be around 30 years.”
American battery companies?
All of them can be turned into slime battery production plants. Then, the overwhelming demand will be met immediately, and the speed at which slime batteries spread through the market will be incredibly fast.
As we grow the market together with the United States, the market size will also become much larger.
―… … How much do you think the royalty will be?
“I think about 30% of the sales profit would be enough.”
―Haa… … 30% seems too high. It won’t be easy for the battery industry to accept.
“Then what, I guess I’ll just not accept it and let it all fail. Isn’t it the way of the world that if you don’t have the skills, you’ll be eliminated?”
―… … .
Silent Robert.
―… … 30% is too much. I hope you can be a little more considerate.
but.
If we bring up the negotiation terms at 30%, a picture as big as a door might be painted in an American newspaper.
Things like this caricature of Robert kissing a shoe on his knees.
They probably don’t want to do that, since they’re up for re-election soon.
“Then, Mr. President, you owe me one?”
―… … Yes. I will owe you something. So please… … .
“Then let’s do 20%.”
―20%… … Yeah.
“Now let’s be honest with each other. Considering the market growth, it’s not an offer that the US can’t accept. If it’s around 20%, it’s not like they’re going to kill us.”
Originally I was going to get 20%.
But calling 20 first is just plain stupid.
First of all, you have to raise it and call it, so it feels like you’re getting a discount.
Robert probably had an inkling of it too.
However, the fact that he considered himself to have owed her a debt may be a reflection of his desire to continue a smooth relationship.
Silence for a moment.
―… … Okay. But, is there something else you’re hiding? Now, whenever I hear Mr. Kim Min-woo, my heart starts pounding. In a bad way.
“Well, that’s a trade secret. Anyway, I hope you tell the relevant CEOs. And don’t be too harsh. If you reduced it from 30 to 20, then you must have worked hard, right?”
– First, let’s arrange a meeting with the CEOs of battery companies.
“By the way, if you reject the first offer, the next offer will be more royalty-free. Please make sure to convey that as well.”
The warning was given.
If we stall for time, it will be America that dies.
* * *
The demonstration, which lasted 30 hours straight, has ended.
The demonstration ended successfully, showing an amazing driving distance.
When it came to an end like that.
Ttukbuk.
Isabella walked towards me.
I cleared my throat for a moment, then cleared my throat for a moment.
“The ambassador worked hard. After sitting in the car for 30 hours, there are eggs all over the place.”
“With that ability?”
“… … Anyway, I did my best.”
“Thank you for your hard work. When you get back home, get some rest and eat some delicious food.”
Kim Min-woo turns around.
Isabella grabbed his wrist urgently.
“for a moment.”
“… … ?”
“… … Is this the end?”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“What about the heart?”
“Heart Rights? Why is that?”
“When I asked at that time, didn’t you tell me to work hard from the promotional ambassador stage?”
“Yes. Wasn’t that the price you paid for introducing me to the elders? Did you really think you could learn that much just by doing one demonstration?”
She said, her face turning bright red at those words.
“… … I, I’m not that shameless. It’s just… … .”
“only?”
“… … Are you telling me to go back to my country like this?”
“Well, I was wondering if there was anything more I could get from you, Miss Isabella. And I don’t really have anything to ask you to do.”
“… …Do you want a book?”
“Hey. Would something so trivial be important?”
“… … Is it trivial? I think I treasured it back then.”
“The value of things changes from moment to moment. I think you must have studied economics, Isabella.”
tablet?
The current Isabella won’t exchange 300 of those for a heart certificate.
Because you must have personally experienced the power of the King while sparring with him.
To a thirsty person in the desert, a cup of cold water is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
It was the same even then.
“What do you want?”
“Well, I’m not sure.”
“… … Were you perhaps harboring rejection in your heart at that time?”
“I’m not that stingy. I just don’t really know.”
I mean Voltron.
If you’re going to do it, why don’t you bundle it together and promote it?
They thoroughly rejected it, saying that East Asian cars are not the best, and that, as expected, they were not that great when I checked.
To be honest, it was true.
It was a fact that Ilseong vehicles were inferior to Western luxury cars.
But facts are facts.
How heartbreaking it would be for someone to hear that?
That’s just it.
“Then I’ll be going now. I need to grow up quickly so I can keep my four-month promise.”
“Hey, wait a minute! Do you want an advertisement for Il Sung products?”
“Well, anyway, one thing is certain. If you want to learn something like the fist of the mind, you have to show some sincerity on your part, right? Whatever it is.”
“… … .”
Isabella is silent.
When you want something from the other person, but don’t know what the other person wants.
Those are really difficult times.
Kim Min-woo knew it too.
That’s why it’s like this.
The more vague you speak, the better.
‘Because you can gain a lot from it.’
Are you teaching the mind power just as an ambassador for Ilseong?
It’s obvious that the calculations don’t add up.
“When you return home, think about it carefully. What should I give to the other person so that he or she will feel like teaching me… .”
It was in the middle of talking like that.
● You are the one who opened the horizon for humanity!
● Recognize the changes in the world!
● More than ten great powers have made special choices!
● Achievement score 50 points… … .
● 150 points for the first mass selection bonus… … .
● You have an achievement vending machine! Double your scores… … .
A familiar message came to mind.
This is a message that comes to mind whenever I’m bored. SS-class Awakeners keep popping up, and the selection rate for Necromancers has also increased.
There is only one difference.
‘Extra bonus points?’
The 11th Necromancer appears, giving additional bonus points. And because of that… … .
● The total achievement points earned so far have exceeded 3,000 points!
● ‘Gold’ grade items are unlocked!
● Limited sale items for ‘Necromancer’ will be created! (10 hours until sale ends)
● The value of ‘Earth Credits’ has increased to the point where they can be exchanged for achievement points.
● You have been the most dedicated to increasing the value of Earth Credits so far. In return, you will be granted one special privilege.
● From now on, you can exchange Earth Credits for Achievement Points.
“huh?”
Earth Credits.
This is the unit that Rastan of the Sky Auction House uses when talking about Earth money.
So now… … .
Does this mean you can now copy achievement points for cash?
