Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

“It’s not difficult at all. In the fashion world, Ivanka Trump will always rise to the ranks of established luxury brands. If you go back then and look back now, you will think that you got it for free.”

Ivanka said in a confident voice.

“It’s an amount worth considering.”

Ivanka again enthusiastically described her business.

“like. Then, this time, I’m making an offer from my side. How about 10% on $15 million?”

In fact, Ivanka’s fashion business isn’t worth it. Even more so, considering that Ivanka Trump’s brand will have to shut down after she enters the White House in the face of a conflict of interest.

“You are a trader, too.”

Ivanka laughs.

It seems that Eugene’s proposal is higher than the Maginot line she thought.

However, Eugene’s gift is not over yet.

“And one more thing. Ivanka’s fashion business was only done in the United States.”

“I am also thinking of going overseas someday. Now is the time to focus on Korea.”

“After thinking about it, I think that the value of the name Ivanka Trump will work well not only in America but also abroad. Especially in East Asia.”

“Am I so famous in East Asia?”

Eugene shakes her head at Ivanka’s astonished question.

“Not yet. But depending on marketing or not, there seems to be enough potential. So, speaking of this, I will offer you two options.”

“What?”

“The first is for Ivanka Trump to expand his business overseas, especially to the five East Asian countries: Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and Singapore. If you do that, you double your investment. A 15% stake is sufficient.”

“Aha!”

Ivanka’s eyes moved quickly from side to side.

“And the only thing left is to license Ivanka Trump’s brand. If you give me a license in Asia, I pay 10 million dollars a year in royalties. Or 15% of sales.”

“Ten million dollars a year?”

You’d be more than happy to give him $10 million a year even if he didn’t do anything.

Her father, Donald Trump, was already licensing his name to be used on a variety of products, resulting in millions of dollars a year in consumer goods alone.

Eugene was offering Ivanka several times the profit her father made from selling her name.

“You can get $10 million, or 15% of sales, whichever is greater. The contract period is 6 years. The contract is renewed every six years at the will of both parties.”

After 6 years, you’ve got everything you need, so you won’t have to pay that kind of money any more.

“That’s… very generous… no. That’s a pretty decent proposition.”

It’s a surprising proposition for Ivanka as well.

Because her name wasn’t worth that much yet.

If it’s Kanye West, who has a name value and design talent enough to grow corporate values between Nike and Adidas, Ivanka, who is a little known thanks to her father, is by no means worthy of an offer of royalties.

“How is it? Can you think about it?”

Eugene gave it time, knowing that Ivanka would never refuse it.

“yes? Think? ah! Yes.”

Ivanka smiled slightly awkwardly. He seems afraid that Eugene might turn back the offer.

“Then think about it slowly. I am ready to sign at any time.”

Ivanka pondered for a moment whether or not to sign an autograph, then regained her composure.

And for a while the two talked more, and Ivanka gracefully left the place to consider.

A six-year contract of $10 million per year. In a way, that’s a lot of money.

However, for Eugene, it was a free cost.

What Eugene wants is not to give Ivanka one big favor.

It is to provide lasting benefits to Ivanka’s father while he was president.

And the price for that will be sufficiently acceptable.

Because the name alone as a business partner for the daughter of the president of the United States can save a lot of trouble for a few years.

This was the best gift Eugene could give the Trump family. Because Eugene, a foreigner, could not make any donations to American politicians.

However, if you are paying according to the normal contract you have now, who hasn’t decided to run for president yet, it’s a different story.

In any way, they will not be able to uncover the culprits behind the illicit financing of Eugene and the Trump family.

It’s not like I’m being generous, though. In fact, Ivanka’s proposal is quite realistic.

It was said that it was East Asia, but to be precise, at least in Japan, the possibility was very high.

The Japanese’ love for America was no different from Trump, who had a notorious reputation for being eccentric and quite flamboyant.

The Japanese loved Trump more than their prime ministers just because he was the president of the United States.

Even in 2020, when Trump failed to be re-elected, protests against the US election fraud were held daily in Tokyo.

Of course, Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, was also envied by the Japanese.

When she visited Japan, she was greeted with almost as much enthusiasm as a Hollywood superstar.

Raising three children, starting her own business and helping her father seem to have made a huge impression on Japanese women.

The necklace she wore around her neck was sold out in a matter of seconds.

So, if you have the Ivanka Trump brand ready in Japan in advance, you can get pretty good sales, at least while Trump is president.

Also, China is not bad.

When the Trump family entered the White House, Ivanka registered dozens of brands under her name in China.

Around that time, he seemed to be convinced of the feasibility of business in China.

But it was too late to enter.

By the time the business was on track, barely filing for a trademark and opening stores, Ivanka was forced to close due to a conflict of interest that had plagued her.

Of course, we also know that the Trump administration’s confrontation with China could make it uncomfortable to do business in China.

But Eugene had already thought about that.

On the other hand, business in Korea is not considered at all.

In East Asia, especially in Korea, Trump’s image would be close to the worst.

If they opened a store in Korea, it would be just a show off to the Trump family.

In any case, to make Ivanka’s fashion business a success in East Asia, it would have to be launched in each country before Trump ran for president, and before she entered the White House as her father’s aide, she and the business named after her were separated. had to do it

For that, the method of license is also suitable.

Eugene invited Jae-hyeok during the week as an excuse to develop friendships between friends.

“Wow! the house is awesome What kind of apartment is so loud? I live in a studio the size of a real palm. It was also eye-popping expensive. How expensive is a house like this?”

As soon as he entered the house, Jae-hyeok made a fuss.

“But these days, you say you’re a derivative? You said you made quite a bit of money, didn’t you?”

Not long after, Jae-hyeok asked about Eugene’s investment.

“uh. I guess I’m lucky this year.”

“How much did you earn?”

“About one billion.”

“In dollars? crazy How the hell can you earn like that?”

“That’s it. I can’t believe it either. I do what the BlackRock dealers suggest, and that’s how it happened. Well, I did leverage it a bit. Sometimes I do 10 times, and if I feel good, I add 20 or 40 times. people were like that Will this happen if I’m lucky? But it happened again.”

Yoosung turned all the balls to the dealers at BlackRock and popped his bet, saying he was just as lucky.

But he didn’t say what product he was doing.

“Isn’t that a bit dangerous? If I make a mistake, it’s a big deal, right?”

“There is such a thing. But isn’t it just one life? I can roll it properly this time and live the rest of my life without worrying about it.”

“hey. Mega Millions winnings alone can give you a lifetime of favor. After all, human greed is like that.”

“You know that. There was a lawsuit between my father’s company and Daeyang. If you think about it, I don’t think it’s worth 200 million.”

“It did? right. ocean.”

When the story of the ocean comes out, the power of words is lost. It seems that he is worried that Eugene will ask him to publish his story as an article.

The guy’s position was understandable. Wouldn’t it be easy to put an article against a large company that would become the owner and in-laws?

“Oh yeah! There are some materials I have gathered about what the Daeyang Group has done to subcontractors. Would you like to try it?”

Eugene gently touched it.

“okay? give me one I’ll write it down and put it on my desk. But I can’t give you a definitive answer about what’s being published. You know that. If you cut it at the desk, that’s enough.”

“right. hey, let’s go. I just don’t want to burden you.”

“Nope. Anyway, give it to me.”

Jae-hyeok was forced to match Eugene’s mood.

“okay. Then take a look.”

Eugene handed Jae-hyeok some data about Daeyang.

“I’ll take a look and I’ll try my best. friend.”

“Don’t be afraid, just look.”

“Nope. I’ll really take care of it.”

However, in the end, Jaehyuk could not publish an article about Daeyang.

“It’s probably too difficult at our desk. sorry.”

Jaehyuk, who met again a few days later, apologized.

“I’m sorry. I’m even more sorry for putting a burden on you. Do not worry about it.”

“Next time, I’ll try to push more. If you have an article worth writing about, please pass it on to me.”

Somehow, Jaehyuk’s eyes were shining strangely.

“But how are things going with Dasan?”

“so so. At that time, I joined the Dasan Electronics working team in Austin and started negotiating with Freescale. I just started together, and from there, it’s up to Dasan.”

“Then you don’t know what’s going on?”

“Nope. Because we keep in touch. It looks like the due diligence has just finished, but it looks like they’re estimating the value. They seem to be judging roughly between $12 billion and up to $15 billion. It’s a matter of how much management premium you put on top of that.”

“right. In the end, it is the value of the management premium. how is it? How much do you think it will hit?”

“Dasan is quite ambitious. It’s true that having Freescale in your hands gives you an advantage over the competition. Originally, Dasan is capable of mass-producing automobiles. When it comes to semiconductors, it becomes a complete body.”

“About how much?”

Again, the question of Freescale is persistently asked.

“Well? That will depend on your strategy. But wouldn’t it be at least billions of dollars? I think it will be up to 20 billion.”

Knowing that Dasan couldn’t offer such a large sum, Eugene called for an inflated amount.

“Wheeyu! So much?”

“What. I’ll let you know when I’ve made a rough decision. Then you should buy some car stock with Dasan Electronics before posting it as an article. I will definitely go into support even in fertility.”

“haha! okay. After all, I have only friends.”

Eugene could feel Jae-hyuk’s eyes changing strangely.

Meanwhile, oil prices were diligently falling.

“I made 700 million dollars in one day!”

Looking at the gift graph that fell like a waterfall, Yooseong said with a puzzled face.

On November 26, the futures price from $73 fell to $66 in one day.

“That…”

Eugene, who did not know that it would fall this much in one day, was also stunned.

A short position of 100,000 contracts is making 100 million dollars for every dollar the futures price drops, so it is correct to make 700 million dollars a day as Yoosung said.

“On the other hand, if it went up like that, you would have lost 700 million dollars a day…”

That is why joy is not like joy.

There was enough money to buy and sell a company in just one day.

“This is rare. The price of oil is falling by 7 dollars a day.”

It was truly a crash that only comes once in a few years.

And it was reflecting that there was really no room for oil prices to rise.

Now the oil price market is in a panic because it doesn’t know where the end is.

“So far, it’s only been $1.7 billion as a gift…. Almost $2 trillion. Does it make sense?”

Yoosung smiled sadly and said.

“There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Eugene knows that he is not at the bottom yet.

“The options haven’t been calculated yet. I think he’s raking in all the money in the world.”

“No way. Trillions of funds come and go a year only in oil futures.”

“Because the amount of money that comes and goes today is close to 10 billion dollars……. Someone might have earned it like an older brother.”

“right. Even if it’s not an individual, an institution can have that level of position.”

“Then are you going to increase your position again?”

“no. Even 10,000 contracts is a very large amount. The more you increase it, the harder it is to control. And now it seems to be getting closer to the bottom.”

Now it was time to think about the exit.
