The person who eats pork rice bowls

Downtown Los Angeles.

It was an area where government agencies, art galleries, newspapers, concert halls, and banks were concentrated.

“At this rate, the office building of Earth Resources is fine, right?”

The building Lee Jong-yeop knew was a large 35-story building built next to the waterfront plaza.

The building where Arcor’s headquarters is located on Teheran-ro in Gangnam was not this large.

“The price is said to be $1.2 billion.”

“In one building?”

“yes. They say it has become more than 30% cheaper because of the corona.”

It was over budget, but I liked the building and didn’t want to miss it.

“Since the area of the building is large, we can move the entire broadcasting and film divisions of the Earth Channel.”

“You could have a couple of movie studios. Also, wouldn’t it be possible for the many companies that your brother will take over to gather in this building?”

“Am I taking over the company?”

“I think it’s possible if it’s my older brother who made the same foundation in a year.”

Is it because Lee Jong-yeop has been watching the Gukppong videos that are uploaded on the Earth channel these days?

‘If we continue to have the same success as this year, that might be the case.’

Even if I didn’t fill the building with my company, I could just give it a lease.

When I saw the large building, my heart fluttered for nothing.

Looking back, I have lived without having a dream since I was born.

“I want to be a scientist.”

“My future hope is to be a firefighter!”

“I will become a celebrity. An idol singer!”

Elementary student.

I stayed still with my fists on my knees as my classmates talked about their dreams.

The words I barely uttered when my turn came around.

“I want to become a civil servant.”

I had no desire to do anything.

Do you believe that the state will give you a stable salary so that you will not have any trouble making a living?

The teacher skipped it without asking the detailed reason, but looking back when I grew up, I think I probably knew it.

It is difficult for a child whose parents do not take good care of him to have a dream.

cozy home.

Food you can eat when you are hungry.

Mother’s nagging to study.

Small things add up to make children grow up.

When I was in my 20s, I liked making plans for my life.

I thought about it even when I was working part-time and sitting on the toilet.

‘If I get a job at a company that pays more than 30 million won a year, I’ll be able to save 20 million won every year.’

The goal was to save and save 100 million won in 5 years.

It seemed that if I collected 100 million, it would somehow give me hope, and it would be the beginning of getting out of the pitiful poverty.

‘100 million at the age of 32. 200 million at the age of 37. If I save money like that, I’ll be able to live comfortably when I’m old.’

I had no intention of doing anything other than raising money.

Arkor, who started attending because he paid a lot of salary.

As I lived, I experienced marriage and divorce, and I thought I was penniless, but I became incredibly rich with coins.

I started my business last year and had a lot of experience and thought.

Even if there is no such thing as a dream, it is enough to live doing what you want to do at that time.

After signing the contract through the lawyers, he texted Jo Soo-ah.

―Kim Shin: I bought a building this time.

―Joshua: A building?

―Kim Shin: It’s a big building in Los Angeles. Bigger than Arkor’s headquarters.

I even sent photos.

Even though I thought it was childish, I wanted to brag to Jo Soo-ah.

When I am in Laguna Beach, I spend a lot of time alone, and when I do, I think of Jo Soo-ah.

―Jo Soo-ah: It is a very nice building. I wish I was rich.

-Kim Shin: Yes. It’s nice to have a lot of money.

―Joshua: … … .

―Kim Shin: How is your company life?

―Jo Soo-ah: I am working hard. There are many employees who have applied for leave.

―Kim Shin: Did you eat?

―Joshua: I ate. It’s a meat platter.

―Kim Shin: In Korea, I ate pork rice bowls a lot. They make something similar in the US, but it doesn’t taste like it.

―Jo Soo-ah: Do you remember the restaurant you used to go to often in front of work? You like meat rice bowl, pork cutlet, squid rice bowl, bulgogi rice bowl, and kimchi stew.

-Kim Shin: That’s right. Just hearing the menu makes my mouth water.

I felt a fluttering feeling or a feeling of love.

I feel that I can approach my honest heart more easily when I send a text message than when I call or meet in person.

―Kim Shin: There is someone I met on a blind date the other day.

―Jo Soo-ah: The person you met in Busan?

-Kim Shin: Yes. He said his family had a lot of money. He said he has several buildings in Haeundae.

―Josua: I think your parents said that.

―Kim Shin: I’m not particularly concerned about it.

―Kim Shin: I just suddenly remembered it. Maybe my building is much bigger?

―Sua Jo: ???

Shin Kim’s fame spread beyond California to all over the United States.

Is there anyone who has built such a huge amount of wealth in one year as an investor and entrepreneur?

“This makes no sense.”

“Right now, the momentum of the Earth Channel is too high. It is better to wait until they calm down.”

Warner Bros. made an aggressive move into the OTT business by creating HBO Max.

Disney, which owns the Marvel series, and MGM, which was acquired by Amazon in May.

Universal, famous for ET, Jurassic Park, The Mummy, Fast & Furious, and Jason Bourne series, also has an OTT platform.

The public doesn’t know much, but OTT was like a jungle before a full-fledged fight began.

‘Everybody was just thinking about going after Netflix. Who knew that a carnivorous dinosaur called the Earth Channel would suddenly appear?’

Affordable plan of $5.

Famous movies and drama contents that are heating up America these days.

“Obviously some of the Earth Channel stuff is fun. However, the absolute amount of content is very important for the public to enjoy.”

“There is also a matter of taste. Subscribers will continue to grow, but after peaking, they will begin to decline.”

Competitors hoped that the Earth Channel would peak and fall.

〈Octopus Game watched by more than 100 million people worldwide〉

〈BBC “K-drama craze all over the world.”>

〈Dalgona, soaring sales of Halloween costumes〉

〈Attack of K-Zombies, another anticipated release notice〉

“The next zombie movie. Viewers enthusiastic about the trailer>

Earth Channel’s contents were gaining popularity with viewers even at this moment.

I think it will collapse over time even if left alone, but the basic principle of management is to take away the opponent’s strengths.

“We also buy Korean dramas and movies.”

“Compared to the production cost in the US, which costs tens of millions of dollars per episode, it only takes 10%. Grab Korean content. Let them do the production.”

Competitors sent staff to Seoul to secure Korean movies and dramas.

The staff had no choice but to understand the situation in many ways and be perplexed.

“What is Dream Art Rainbow doing?”

“Most of the movies and dramas are involved.”

“It has a lot of excellent production crews, and investing from the stage of discovering the script. You’re talking about sweeping everything away.”

Dream Art Rainbow was not at the level of a giant tree that took root.

It’s like a land owner who owns the soil of the Korean content market.

The content production environment, which used to be divided into film distributors, broadcasting stations, and cable, has changed around Dream Art Rainbow.

“The owner of Dream Art Rainbow is Shin Kim.”

“Kim Shin invested and wiped everything away.”

Hollywood was perplexed after receiving reports from employees sent to Korea.

“Do you mean we have to wait for the heat of the Earth Channel to disappear?”

“It is said that dozens of dramas and more movies are being produced in Korea. But it will only be a matter of time before the American public gets tired of the format of Korean content.”

“My seat is at stake right now, and it’s not easy to wait. It’s really not easy.”

Earth Channel’s OTT business draws attention from the media and competitors. However, the personal broadcasting field was also steadily attracting people.

When Korean celebrities broadcast, hundreds of thousands of viewers watched.

As the number of Asian subscribers increased, Black Red and Earth Girls secured more than 1 million viewers each time they were broadcast.

It was surprisingly popular in the American entertainment industry.

“What is the video channel like?”

“That is the only hope. I don’t think it will be easy to enter the market because there is a strong competitor.”

Online video platform.

Facebook, Yahoo, and TikTok occupied most of the market share, centered on YouTube, the market leader.

The Earth channel has been focusing on broadcasting, film, and game content so far.

Although they have announced plans to enter the video platform, they have not yet been able to jump into this huge ecosystem.

Our third burger shop in Laguna Beach.

A male part-time student in his early 20s tilted his head and asked.

“Aren’t you Kim Shin?”

“yes?”

“I feel like I feel the same way.”

At Laguna Beach, I wore sunglasses in the morning and evening.

There were many times when I shared a hat, and even wearing a mask was mandatory, but sometimes there were people who recognized me.

“yes. I must be Kim Shin.”

“Really? Could I get an autograph?”

I signed an autograph for a part-time worker at a hamburger shop who was delighted.

‘Looks like I’ve become famous.’

After eating a hamburger, I took a walk in Laguna Beach and thought a lot.

Channel 7.

It was the number allocated by Earth Channel to enter the video platform market.

‘Last year’s YouTube ad sales exceeded $15 billion.’

This was a 36% increase over the previous year.

It is said that the OTT business is in the limelight due to Corona, but the video platform has a much stronger power than that.

Anyone can upload videos freely, and attract advertisements from numerous companies.

‘It’s about people creating and enjoying content. We play a role in shaping that space.’

Although technical preparations were being made, as soon as the earth channel was launched, an unmanageable amount of traffic occurred.

Temporarily, only up to channel 5 was open, and 7 was put on hold for the time being.

‘If you delay the opening too much, the earth channel will become OTT.’

When people’s perception of OTT hardens, then it becomes difficult to try anything else.

Users who want new things, when they have interest and curiosity, had to expand their feet into more fields.

‘The soaring price of Source Coin is also a problem… … .’

Source Coin showed signs of surpassing $20.

Given the extreme volatility of the coin market, it wouldn’t be strange if it were $20 today.

While not detrimental to Earth Resources’ business, it was dangerous for Source Coin’s price to rise out of control.

The amount the company guarantees is $1.

If the price drops suddenly, the shock can be that big.

〈Bitcoin soars to $25,000 in one week〉

〈Bitcoin hits an all-time high〉

〈The virtual currency speculation frenzy reignited. Investors flocked

〈JP Morgan’s leadership in the digital currency market. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Source Coin expected to compete>

Investor madness.

The price of virtual currencies, centered on Bitcoin, has risen out of control.

―Source Coin Breaks $23!

-Wow… … this is coming! keep going up!

―I gave all my money to Source Coin. it’s bina it’s bina I’m sorry to Kim Shin-hyung.

It was my first business since I started Earth Resources, so I felt like I was being pushed and dragged around.

I saw what I could do now.

‘Let’s throw it away.’
