I wondered how you got 10 times the return… Phew. I never imagined you’d use the information gap in such a way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Korea is already struggling, so at least I have to export something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that sense, I think the United States could also be of sufficient help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall we get to the point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. We are convinced that you, Kim Minwoo, have a special ability. It seems like some kind of teaching, and we believe you’ve passed it on to China as well. Otherwise, there’s no way that much capital would have moved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve already caught the scent and are running towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The United States was definitely the United States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you said, it’s better for us if Korea grows rather than China.

With the Competition just around the corner, I honestly feel a sense of crisis. Your teaching, or rather, let’s just call it training, we don’t know the extent of its application or its limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think it’ll work on the world’s top rankers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to believe that too, but you, Mr. Kim, are like an onion.
