Gender Reversal Politics

5. Selling

It’s going up well.

I couldn’t check the chart while the first line OT was in progress, but it seemed that the buying trend was maintained during that time.

Items held: Mana

Holding Quantity: 10,500 Mana

Appraisal amount : 834,225,000 KRW

The situation is on the verge of entering 80,000 won per unit.

It was a normal situation to just be happy.

My heart was pounding with anticipation for profit realization until I just heard from a man named Seonggi-nam, “It’s okay to sell it late.” To be honest, it was as exciting a celebration as winning the National Assembly.

But now, the neat chart showing bees didn’t catch my eye.

Why did an aide who even listened to the party representative’s love affair with me? Maybe it’s not a matter of picking the timing to sell and earning about 100 to 200 million more, but a much more complicated situation lurking.

I tried asking myself, but the answer didn’t come right away.

Of course, I would sell it within today, but I thought I should find out what kind of situation I was involved in before selling.

… In fact, I had never even thought about mana until now. She thought it was a coin with no special features except that it was issued by a Korean.

I thought that the value fixing was just a marketing slogan to raise the price, and I thought the overwhelming rate of return I enjoyed was just luck.

If that wasn’t a coincidence, I’d have to figure out the inside story now. If that was difficult, at least I had to catch a clue.

I made several phone calls while hiding my intentions.

“s*xy man? … You can just look at him as a bag mochi with a parliamentary seat. He is a person who moves thoroughly according to the will of CEO Park. I can’t explain in detail, but the proportional representative was also forced into it. I’ll probably volunteer all four years to repay the debt. Do not hang out if you can.”

Those were the words of Na Hye-ri.

There is not much content, but it was an important reference. No matter how Seonggi-nam is a first-timer, he is still a member of the same council, but he is openly cut down with a bag mochi. It was possible to know the level of awareness of Seonggi-nam among the senior lawmakers.

‘Seong Ki-nam means that you can never go against the CEO. Meddling with me means at least not acting against the will of the party representative office.’

However, there was someone else who could be a really important reference, not Na Hye-ri. The main character was her friend, whom she had been close to since exercising, the guy who recommended me to buy her mana.

“Hey, Suho Lee. You didn’t sell me without telling me, did you? If you did, don’t regret later, go back now. There is only good news left for Mana.”

Those were the words that came back as soon as I mentioned mana.

A guy who worked as a tour pro for a while, but now only takes lessons using a member CC as a base.

There are several students who have a lot of money. Those students who easily buy seafood and green onion pancakes for 80,000 won at the shade house at the golf course. She said that the reason he dipped her feet in mana in the first place was because of the recommendation of one of her students.

‘He might know something.’

Seeing that she was praising Mana as if she had waited, it seemed that she wouldn’t have to go around and bring up her topic. It’s enough just to poke it.

“There are only good things left? I didn’t know there would still be a kid who assured me that it was certain by looking at the coin. There aren’t just one or two stocks that went well and then lost their bubble.”

“Huh, you mean that. Korean politics is like this, so it’s an asshole. I’m not doing this for nothing, I’m assuring you because I’ve seen and heard it myself. How many of our customers are big hands?”

“A big hand?”

“These are people whose faces are hard to see. Would you be surprised if I told you?”

What a big man. There are only a handful of big names that surprise me.

It’s because I’m only looking at the chart right now.

For the next four years, I was able to live with the respect of a minister, and if I wanted to, I could arrange an interview with anyone.

But after a while, I was actually surprised when I heard the names my friend started listing. Not because he’s a giant, but because he’s so suspicious.

“I don’t mean to brag about this, but the CEO of Mana Manager is our CC member.”

“She goes to your golf course?”

“Yes. Often too. I came last week, but the person I played with… Who was it? Anyway, there were also your members of the Peace Party. In the past, I came with a representative lawyer of a large law firm. We played 18 holes together and ate makgeolli slush at a restaurant.”

“Didn’t you see it wrong? An incumbent lawmaker doesn’t get along so carelessly.”

“That person is VIP treatment. I’m adjusting the timetable back and forth so I don’t run into other members. I know because I am.”

“… ….”

“By the way, if you are going to sell it, please tell me in advance. Tsk.”

My friend continued to sigh as if I was pathetic, but I just let it go.

It was because the information that the woman, the representative of the company that issued Mana, played golf directly with famous people in the political and legal circles sounded too suspicious.

Of course, it didn’t seem like golf was just for friendship.

“Did they hit each other?”

“No, they said they went out together with one pro. Last time I showed up with Go Ye-rim.”

“… Go Yerim? He is the one who won the Donghae Open this year. I couldn’t call it for a penny or two.”

“I told you. It’s a VIP.”

A round with a tour pro, and a top ranker in the KPGA!

This was openly entertaining golf. It’s also very colorful.

Playing a ball with a tour pro is an event every amateur golfer dreams of.

What if it’s not even an official pro-am tournament, but a private game that doubles as a drinking party? It was not something that could be done with a penny.

Why do people who have become rich in trillions of won bother to entertain? Of course, it is very common for rich people to manage politicians and public officials, but there is no need to manage them yourself. Just give some money and let someone else do it for you.

As I was rolling my head, I had a rough guess as to why.

Just insurance.

I wondered if I bought insurance in advance to promote my own safety in the event of an accident. It is because if you step forward and put the shackles on the politicians and former officers, you can become a reliable lifeline in a crisis situation.

‘Of course you can buy insurance. I do, but.’

The problem was that this was a common practice of scammers. It means that you know that one day your business will have an accident.

I don’t know the exact inside story, but it was certain that it was grueling.

“Hey, Suho. It’s not too late, so why don’t you buy it again now? I raised all the money I had and increased my holdings. What is the current evaluation profit and loss? Wow…. No, no. I guess it’s a bit like bragging.”

A friend who had no way of knowing my complex thoughts proudly boasted.

“… Don’t get too involved.”

“You have never been so sure in your life? If each item exceeds 200,000, I will sell them all and stop giving lessons. I have to set up an indoor practice room and live while listening to the boss. I bought an apartment while I was away.”

Don’t do that, come in again, I’m recommending it because I’m your friend.

He tried really hard to convince me, so I evaded it and hung up the phone. Because I still don’t have any grounds to convince him.

Above all, I was in no position to worry about others at leisure.

*

The publisher of Mana, who is openly showing suspicious behavior, and an aide to the party representative who suddenly urged me to postpone the timing of the sale.

It’s still only a loose situation, but I couldn’t help but look related.

Maybe, I didn’t even know I was already involved in a messy situation.

There was a high possibility that it would not stop at the line of eating a few words of swearing simply because the speculation was successful. It’s because there’s already a person playing tricks on me. You’ll either lose money or ruin your reputation if you’re in a daze.

‘I should have suspected it earlier.’

If you’ve been keeping an eye on it for a long time, it shouldn’t have been difficult to spot any suspicious signs. I’m still in touch with a female ranker named Go Ye-rim, who was mobilized for entertainment golf. A few years ago, he was a kid who often teased me, so if I had asked him kindly, he would have been willing to tell me.

If I had been a little more vigilant, wouldn’t I have been able to detect the danger signal?

Looking at the photo of the woman who issued the mana, the regret deepened even more.

Bronzed skin, a face with prominent facial asymmetry, an arrogantly raised chin and an unlucky expression.

Did you say that the property is probably around 7 trillion won? A genius born in 1995 leading the blockchain market, he was the face of an emerging rich man who became richer than most conglomerate heads thanks to a surge in mana.

On the outside, it’s an image that can be seen wandering around in a female-oriented community under the title of ‘contemplation of being a senior in the military’. As a man, I shouldn’t pretend to know about the military, but I thought I knew roughly what it felt like.

Of course, it was too late to regret it. It’s because I can’t turn back time anyway.

Then the only way was to do my best even for myself. So that I can successfully protect my reputation and career, as well as the profits I earned from mana.

The first step was to sell all mana.

After a while, I returned home alone and sold the mana I had at her current price. On two occasions.

As it is the most actively traded coin across all domestic and foreign exchanges, the transaction was completed as soon as the order was placed.

That was a very good price too.

[Your MANA sell order has been executed.]

Contract price 404,750,000 KRW.

[Your MANA sell order has been executed.]

Execution price 445,170,000 KRW.

…It was the moment when the amount of almost 850 million came into my hands even after taking off the commission. It was the first large sum of money I had ever had in my life.

Of course, it doesn’t end just by earning a small amount of money. Rather, from now on, I had to keep my mind tight.
