Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

Bel Air and Business Jet

“Do it here. When can I move in?”

Eugene, who was looking around a mansion located in the highlands of Bel Air, a wealthy town in western LA, asked the agent who was guiding him.

A week after arriving in California, Eugene and the party were staying at a hotel in Hollywood.

In the meantime, Eugene has been walking around with a local real estate agent and seeing the big mansions in Bel Air.

The western part of the United States will be based in this neighborhood.

“The place is vacant right now, so you can use it right away after the contract ends.”

A real estate agent welcomed me when I said that I would buy a house that was not sold even though many people are interested because it is the most expensive house for sale in Bel Air, one of the wealthiest villages in the United States.

On more than two acres in one of Los Angeles’ most expensive neighborhoods, few could afford a 20-bath mansion.

“It is true that he is really rich. You mean you decided to look at a $130 million mansion?”

Sarah asked, seemingly a little absurd.

Her father is also a wealthy man, but he doesn’t behave like Eugene.

“It’s still a nice house. It’s perfect for a party.”

Sara nodded as she stood by the 30-meter pool overlooking LA.

“I see.”

Eugene chose this mansion not because of the party, but because of the fact that it is the most expensive mansion on the market right now.

Not only in LA, but also in New York, a house as expensive as this has never been on the market yet.

Eugene, who has now built up a fortune that can be said to be a fortune, has no hesitation in using that wealth.

Even a $150 million mortgage would only cost you tens of millions of dollars.

Compared to the $70 billion in assets, a house of this size is rather small.

Moreover, this luxury residential area is considered one of the safest places in the United States as you have to go through a gate guarded by strict security from the moment you enter the neighborhood.

I don’t think it’s a waste of money at all.

“Take a look at the Business Jet. The most expensive one possible.”

I returned to the hotel that day and gave Monica the instructions again.

Monica, the publicist, was somehow acting as Eugene’s personal assistant.

This is because she did not particularly dislike Eugene’s instructions, and Eugene had to discuss her relationship with the media with Monica before any personal events.

As a result, we negotiated to pay a little more for Monica and increase her work.

“A business jet? There was a time when I needed to do it.”

Monica agreed too.

So far, I haven’t been around much outside of New York, but it’s different from now on.

Every time it moved, a small number of people had to move together.

The security team alone has over 10 people, and the PR team is at that level.

In addition, if experts are attached according to the purpose of movement, dozens of people will move in total.

“I think the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747-8 VIP are the most luxurious. The A380 has not yet been released as a business jet, but they said they can order it.”

“Avoid Airbus.”

There is no reason to use the A380 for personal use, which will be banned from airlines around the world anyway.

“The 747-8 VIP starts at $370 million. There is an additional cost depending on the option you want.”

Compared to regular business jets, the people who use a Boeing 747 or Airbus A380 for personal use are usually people with a strong desire to show off, like oil-producing royalty or Russian oligarchy.

Naturally, he preferred to decorate the interior with splendor.

I know that royal families in the Middle East, in particular, love to decorate with gold.

“I want to make it as comfortable as possible for between 30 and 50 people to ride.”

However, in Eugene’s case, practicality is the most important.

He demanded a space where he and the people he would move with could comfortably rest and work.

“If it is a 747, it will take about three years because it is made to order.”

Guess I’ll have to rent a car for the time being. There are used airplanes on the market, but I thought it would be better to buy a new one.

“Business Jets on the latest 747 are around $25,000 an hour.”

From what I’ve heard, I think this is a lot more economical. If you only use it when you need it for only a few hundred thousand dollars a day, it is certainly more economical than buying it.

But for Eugene, cost is not an issue. Rather, how effective it is is much more important.

“Anyway, I will make the purchase of the 747 as an article along with the purchase of the mansion.”

Articles about buying the world’s most expensive mansion and the world’s most expensive private plane at the same time will be a hot topic for a while.

That’s why I hired Monica.

So far, she’s been doing just fine without saying anything.

“Bel-Air’s home is to be moved into this week. I’m cleaning now. The interior has nothing to do with it. You can use it right now.”

Monica looked around the mansion together and nodded.

“Then let’s hold a party to commemorate the move-in.”

“Which greetings should I call?”

“If you want to make a splendid start in California, wouldn’t the actors be good too?”

Many of Bel Air’s luxury mansions were owned by Hollywood actors.

So the title would be something like an event to invite your neighbors.

“I do that. There is probably no actor who will turn down the boss’s invitation.”

Monica and Eugene planned to invite celebrities from LA after the actors.

It will be a second base along with New York, so I plan to continue interacting with various people.

However, the first guest Eugene invited was not such a fancy celebrity.

“It’s a great mansion. It’s like Eugene’s home, too.”

A middle-aged couple in their 50s looked back at their home with Eugene’s guidance and exclaimed over and over again.

“We are looking for a suitable home for the two of us. Come back with an agent sometime.”

Eugene’s favor does not end there.

“Are you even doing that… … I have nothing to say.”

Gina’s mother was thrilled with Eugene’s words.

“A home in Bel-Air. It’s like a dream.”

So was Gina’s father. The luck that came overnight to an ordinary working-class couple running a small supermarket in LA Koreatown was unbelievable.

“It’s not something I do. It’s just part of the investment contract with Gina. It’s just that Gina is so busy that I want to help her a little.”

“Is my kid really doing such a great job?”

Gina’s parents are very proud of Eugene’s words, but they are a little puzzled.

“Isn’t it such a big deal to grow something like maesaeng or green onion?”

It seems that Gina didn’t tell her parents that much about her.

“Gina’s research will save the world. At least I believe so. That’s why we decided to invest $100 million in Gina’s research.”

“100 million dollars?”

Again, nothing is better than a specific amount of money to persuade people.

“Oh my gosh… … .”

“I knew my kid was smart, but… … .”

“If Gina’s research is successful, the planet will be much safer from the threat of global warming, and she will become incredibly wealthy. Maybe he will be richer than me.”

“Please. You are richer than Eugene.”

Although they were a couple who were fans of Eugene, what Eugene said sounds very absurd.

“It’s not an exaggeration in the slightest. Considering the impact Gina’s research will have, that’s more than enough.”

The largest market in history is opening up. It is a global effort to prevent global warming.

After 2020, countries around the world will devise intensive policies to prevent global warming.

By 2030, they decided to switch to electric vehicles instead of petroleum-fueled vehicles, and they had no choice but to try to prevent global warming by inflicting various penalties on companies that emit greenhouse gases.

In many countries, companies selling internal combustion engine vehicles have had to purchase carbon credits from electric vehicle companies, which are often expensive enough to cover all of the profits from sales of internal combustion engine vehicles.

Tesla cars earn 1 trillion won a year from the sale of carbon credits in China alone. This is several times the profit from the sale of electric vehicles.

It is for this reason that Tesla was able to become the world’s most expensive automaker while selling only a million cars a year.

In April 2022, the price of carbon credits in Korea reached 35,000 won per ton.

And at the same time, in the EU, it will exceed 80 euros per ton, or about 100,000 won in won.

As of 2020, global carbon emissions to be reduced reach 12 billion tons. In European terms, it costs 80 euros per ton, which is a huge amount of about 1 trillion euros.

Of course, there really aren’t any trades at that level. It’s still just a target.

However, as the number of disasters caused by global warming increases, global efforts to reduce carbon emissions are inevitably accelerating.

“By 2020, the market for carbon emissions will be a huge market, worth on the order of hundreds of billions of dollars.”

“Hundreds of billions of dollars?”

“yes. And Gina’s research is in a leading position in a market with such huge potential.”

“ah! it’s jin Have you been doing such a great job?”

When she heard that her daughter was doing such a great job, and not from anyone else, but from Eugene, the idol of Korean Americans, she had to look different.

“Because money is not the problem.”

Gina gave her a slightly disapproving expression. But it didn’t seem so bad for his parents to acknowledge him.

“Gina is a treasure that will protect the future of mankind.”

Unlike usual, Eugene mobilized all kinds of rhetoric to lift Gina.

If you want to monopolize Gina’s research results, you can provide that much service.

For Eugene, this is an opportunity to preempt future hegemony.

In the future he lived in, Gina released the technology for free, and several companies in the US, Europe, and China took the place of global leaders. Four companies were each in a trillion dollar club.

But this time, Eugene intends to monopolize the fruit.

It’s not just an investment in Gina.

For Eugene, who knew the future, the world was full of places to invest.

Up until now, we have focused mainly on financial speculation to raise capital right now, but from now on, we plan to focus on investing with a more distant future.

That’s why Eugene flew to California.

In Pasadena’s small office and garage, where Gina’s lab is, there were a number of startups created by Caltech nerds, some of which would grow into billion-dollar unicorns in a few years.

Of course, Eugene does not know all of these companies.

However, some companies that remain in his memory were absolutely necessary to invest in.

The day after Gina’s parents went, an official party was held.

Many of the stars Monica hired through Hollywood agents visited Eugene’s mansion.

The fact that Eugene is America’s richest man, along with the fact that he is investing in dozens of movies being made this year, should have made Hollywood stars move.

It was a fresh day for Eugene as well.

It was something that Eugene never dreamed of in her past life to be able to naturally get along by inviting stars she had always seen only through screens to her home.

“It’s a shame. If it wasn’t for Sarah, I would have been a bit more aggressive.”

Eugene was a little embarrassed when Rebecca Colson, a s*xy actress in her 40s, said so while holding a cocktail glass.

“I’m sorry too. Had it not been for Andrew, I would have dashed first.”

Eugene managed to keep her composure and countered.

Rebecca Colson is best known as a lovebirds who are living together with husband Andrew Chase and have two children.

“Still, I’m glad that Sarah and I seem to get along well. Otherwise, I might have really coveted it.”

Rebecca smiled strangely and touched Eugene’s arm.

“Don’t keep touching other people’s men.”

Sara approached and grabbed Eugene.

“You have to be careful. That woman is really dangerous.”

Sarah took Eugene away and warned her.

“Aren’t you still friendly with Andrew?”

“It is true that these two are friendly. But it’s all because Andrew is crazy. Do you know how many men Rebecca has touched so far? Andrew knows everything and is patient with it.”

“ah… … .”

It’s the first time I’ve heard of this from Eugene, who doesn’t know anything about this.

“Anyway, all the women here have to be careful. Everyone will be aiming for Eugene.”

Sarah smiled and warned again.

Sarah’s contract is not over yet. For the time being, Sarah will serve as Eugene’s good partner.

It was even better because she had an excuse to stop troublesome women from approaching.
