Chapter 69: Yappy Private Equity
Yacht spinner, the nightmare of Cheongju Gate and an emotionless killing machine.
He is the final boss and survivor of the Red Gate, and currently the first Holy Knight and financial manager of TTG Guild, the de facto brain.
Yappy work is complex and plentiful.
Management and surveillance of trainees. Expansion of facilities needed for the headquarters. Infrastructure construction and legal, administrative management.
He is a tireless machine and a strong artificial intelligence, and he does all this perfectly, but Yappy most important missions are TTG Guild publicity and financial management.
The former is hacking the central system of YouTube and SNS, and perfectly manipulating public opinion and media control.
It has already been promoted worldwide, and among those who are interested in it, he finds suitable talents by collecting personal information, financial status, and kinship without missing.
He has a perfect grasp of the believers who will be the pilot cases of the TTG Guild.
The latter is financial management. This was easier than the former.
Yappy is already a big fish in the stock market. Under the principle of becoming a righteous thief, he disrupts the stock market and robs the absolute majority of the operation forces.
The collapse of successive operation forces has become a big news topic overseas, and it has been reported that there is a strange phenomenon in the stock market where self-purification is suddenly taking place.
A virtuous cycle stock market where good companies are evaluated at their proper value and bad companies are undervalued. It was thanks to Yappy who was smashing the operation forces in real time.
Yappy, who did these two tasks perfectly, wanted to move on to the next step: a profit-making faith system that combines the former and latter tasks.
Show off TTG Guild miracle and increase believers, seize the food market and maximize profits. The influence on the world food market is a bonus.
The plan was perfect.
Logically, rationally, even looking at international public opinion.
The grain field of Heilong People’s Republic, where Yappy invested, is a stable country as if there is no external threat.
Unless there is a ‘coup’ in the next country or a war ‘declared’ in the next country.
-Yaya, there was a war upstairs.
-Upstairs? North Korea?
-They’ve been ruined for a long time. More upstairs.
-Does Russia have any room to start a war?
Even though Leon was the owner of TTG Guild headquarters, they had basic infrastructure such as internet and TV.
Thanks to the 100-gigabit internet designed by Yappy everyone knew about the hot war news on the news.
“Sir Yappy did you hear that there was a war upstairs? It doesn’t matter much to us, but it seems that the government side is very busy.”
-…
Yappy was watching over the trainees’ sword training. To be precise, he was recording the number and time of mechanical repetitions such as cutting 10,000 times, blocking 10,000 times, swinging 10,000 times, etc.
He had been doing this for a week already, so he wondered if he was used to it or not. Ha-ri repeated upper cuts while chatting with Yappy who didn’t have any sense.
“But it’s a big deal. I heard that Heilong People’s Republic’s grain field imports food from our country. Rice is no problem, but they seem to import quite a lot of other crops.”
-…
“The UN and the US are warning and sanctioning them, but they are orcs anyway. Long-term war is inevitable──”
-Inadequate action. Delete from record 1,397 times. Do it again.
“Huh?”
Ha-ri was struck by lightning out of nowhere, but Yappy was merciless to this insensitive organic matter.
“Whew… I’m so tired today.”
Ha-ri whined tiredly as Yappy approached her.
“Hic! Sir Yappy, I did my quota today?!”
Yapipy kindly poured her a drink himself and recommended it to Ha-ri who was startled.
-Drink. Hydration required.
“Oh, um… yes, thank you.”
Ha-ri awkwardly accepted it. It was awkward because Yappy had never been so kind before.
Yappy smiled with an emoticon on his hologram and said,
“Wha-, why are you so scary?”
-This is only for Ha-ri.
“Only for me?”
-I have my own hedge fund in operation. It is an asset management group that is growing smoothly.
It’s true. Yappy’s hedge fund has been operating for two months now and has hired a suitable asset manager to run it. Its return rate had already reached the highest level in Korea.
Of course. He didn’t mention that he had fallen into hell for three days recently.
-I plan to implement financial welfare for TTG Guild employees.
Yappy devoured all the books related to psychological warfare. People don’t persuade them to invest, they beg them to let them in.
-I will manage your assets for you as a special employee welfare. Join today.
He said that and distributed the membership form. Ha-ri stared at Yappy with trembling eyes.
“Are you investing?”
-I’m going to ‘manage’ your assets.
“Sir Yappy, do you also do stocks? Wow~ You’re so smart.”
Ha-ri, who lived with a wall built with finance and investment, looked at Yappy with curious eyes.
-Han Ha-ri. Considering your poor financial situation, you need a professional asset manager.
“Po-, poor? No, no? I’ve saved quite a bit for my age?!”
Yappy hit her with a fact.
-Only 15% of the average financial situation of A-class hunters. Even if the activity period is short, it is an abnormal situation. The problem is donating your meager salary and gate clear bonus.
“Well, that… I’m donating to the orphanage where I grew up after deducting living expenses…”
-Donation behavior, moral. But you need financial expansion for more donations.
“I don’t really need it──ouch!”
Yappy hit the back of her hand with a non-lethal wire as he kept counting seconds.
-Giving up on life by being lazy about financial studies in a modern society closely related to finances. I will fill your lack of knowledge. Be grateful.
“Uh… Then two million won…”
-20 million won.
“That’s all my savings?!”
-I’ll give you ten times back. Take out the deposit for the semi-basement in Seoul.
“Ah…”
Ha-ri reluctantly deposited money into Yappy’s account, thinking that the machine wouldn’t lie.
Yappy, who received Ha-ri’s money, made an additional suggestion as planned.
-Han Ha-ri is now a ‘silver’ member. I raised it one more level from bronze.
“Silver member?”
-Bronze members guarantee 100%, silver members guarantee 200% profit. Do you want to upgrade?
“Well, that’s good?”
-If you sign up five more members, I will upgrade you to a gold member. Then 300% profit.
“Re-, really?”
Han Ha-ri, 20 years old, a social freshman who was just thrown into society.
She was so naive that he couldn’t even think that this was a typical method of multi-level marketing.
“Soo-ho, sister found a good place to invest──”
“Oh, Ha-ri. ──”
Ha-ri was kind. Anyone who knows her does not doubt her goodwill. So…
“Wow, diamond member! Then 500% profit guaranteed?”
-Congratulations. If you pay more money, I’ll raise you to diamond 3-star member.
“Then if I take out the rent money…!
Ha-ri was a great multi-level employee.
-Choi Young-gam High. Are you interested in investing for retirement? The villagers too──
And this movement spread all over the place centered on TTG Guild. It was only a matter of time before the number of members soared.
And a week later.
“We came from the district court. It’s an asset seizure warning.”
The bailiff came with a red sticker.
****
[Bankruptcy crisis for TTG Guild!]
[Reckless asset management. Is it a failed investment by Yappy!]
[A survivor with a shabby appearance. Will the survivor’s success story collapse like this?]
“…”
Leon read the newspaper and stared at Yappy and the TTG Guild staff in front of him.
In front of everyone, Yappy was lonely as if he was on trial.
“What happened? Summarize it.”
A seizure warning came from the local court. It was because they failed to pay the interest on the loan borrowed in the name of TTG Guild.
That wasn’t all. Most of the TTG Guild staff, including Ha-ri invested, but the private equity fund they invested in plummeted.
-I’ll explain.
Yappy began to recite his recent actions logically and clearly.
He established a private equity fund for the expansion and fund-raising of TTG Guild. He borrowed bank loans as much as possible in the name of the guild and increased the investment funds by attracting staff.
The amount of money he invested in the Heilong People’s Republic Fund and Farm, which was shattered by the invasion of Gilim Republic.
“Yappy, you bastard… That money is 86 million won, my entire fortune… I even gave you my deposit money…”
Ha-ri sobbed with a sad face and the other staff was the same.
“Damn it…! My money! It was my wife’s savings that I scraped together!”
From Kim Jin-soo, a dispatched employee of the Association…
“Ha, haha… My five-year fixed deposit that I saved to buy medicine…”
The soldiers, including Koo Dae-sung, a first-generation trainee.
“I put up land as collateral…”
Even local farmers.
The amount was a whopping 800 billion won!!
The victims were not only these. People who invested in Yappy’s TTG Guild private equity fund made a fuss outside the gate, and Leon listened to their stories for a while.
“Lord Spinner, how much is the loss?”
-At this point, it is 878 billion 54 million 34 thousand won. Increasing by 49 million 85 thousand 3 thousand 655 won per hour. Loss rate about 72%
“Huh…?!”
Ha-ri was shocked by the debt that transcended common sense. Leon also asked with curiosity about the large scale.
“There is no such amount of money in this temple?”
-Borrowed with collateral.
“Collateral?”
-Naju Plain rice field 130,000 hectares. Rice harvested this year. TTG Guild office building. Georgic’s hammer.
In short, it meant that he had poured out all the money that could be used by TTG Guild, not only the money of the investors who were harmed. If he goes bankrupt, Leon will also end up on the street.
Yappy made an excuse.
-The fund will recover. This time is just a temporary liquidity crisis. It is ignorant and impatient to rejoice or grieve over minor chart changes. The Beta Huang Grain Belt is the lifeline of East Asia. The international community cannot leave such a grain belt alone──
“No, Russia just declared support for the Republic? It’s falling in real time?”
-That can’t be… true. It’s an irrational conclusion. There is no reason to risk international sanctions. The disadvantages are much greater than the benefits. That can’t be──Putin bastard.
“”…“”
The victims lost their words at Yappy’s confident and even shameless claim.
In short, it was like an asset manager who lost more than 70% of his investment amount saying that it would go up and puffing up his chest.
“Ah! Give me back my money!”
“Damn it, let’s take something!”
Inevitably, TTG Guild staff ignored their second priority and investors who invested in private equity funds went crazy.
“Hey, hey! Let’s take that pillar!”
“Search for something! There must be something!”
“Empty out the rice warehouse! That’s all money!”
The investors who tried to save even a penny stopped when they found the blade of Archdemon Androzin, stored in the warehouse.
This legendary item made of Adamantite was Yappy’s precious research material.
-Stop, human. Don’t take that…! It’s my property!
It was then. When an investor tried to reach Georgic’s hammer at last──
“Stop floundering, you wretched things!!”
-Kuk?!
-Huh!
Leon’s roar stopped everyone in this place.
Everyone stopped with a tingling fear, and Leon waited until they calmed down enough.
Leon said.
“Lord Spinner.”
-Your Majesty…
Spinner also approached him with a low posture, sensing Leon’s anger in his voice.
“I believe you can solve this situation with your intelligence. How long can you solve it?”
-I will solve it by tomorrow.
Tomorrow? How? How can he solve the loss of hundreds of billions by tomorrow?
“Good. Then I’ll leave it to you.”
But the victims couldn’t answer anything to Leon’s faith.
They also thought that this situation could not be reversed by ordinary ideas.
Eventually, they had to rely on an external force, but who could clean up this mess except Yappy, the culprit of this whole situation?
“I guarantee your debt in the name of the Lion King. You guys just go back and do your work.”
The investors had a lot to say. But no one could stand up to Leon’s roar.
More than anything, it was clear that even if they applied for seizure now, they wouldn’t be able to get even half of the amount they invested.
A day. Will a miracle happen that everything will be solved within that time?
Yappy went into the workshop for a while and didn’t come out. And four hours later──
[Emergency injection. Safety test ignored.]
[Integrated armed platform MK.1 with special external skeleton launched.]
A weapon that changed the history of human warfare was launched from TTG Guild office building.
[Operation code: Fund resurrection]
For a very annoying reason.
The war was started by the invasion of the orc dictator who seized power and Hunters from various countries were also mobilized in this war.
Hundreds of hunters, tens of thousands of soldiers along with orc immigrants from various countries were involved.
No matter how much the continent was torn apart and collapsed after the Great Cataclysm, the continent was a continent. The number of troops mobilized was not ordinary.
And modern warfare is advanced network warfare.
Killing each other with guns and knives on the battlefield is not the whole of war.
Electronic warfare in various countries is also an important battle to paralyze the enemy’s network or disrupt the GPS information of missiles.
The information soldiers of Gilim Republic, the invader, also executed electronic warfare using all means they could for two weeks after the outbreak of war.
“Hoo… Damn it, what kind of hardship is this because of those damn orcs.”
“This is a war without any justification…”
Many survivors came over from another world after the Great Cataclysm. Among them were humans, but there were also many heterogeneous races.
Martial artists from the martial arts world, elves, dwarves, orcs and other heterogeneous races from the fantasy world.
Even recently, mechanical tanks from the future world came.
Among them, orcs are still a headache for modern times.
At first, they competed to receive immigration in various countries to mobilize their excellent combat power for gate conquest, but problems soon arose.
They were too violent and tried to solve everything with violence. They ate food at a restaurant and tried to kill and loot the restaurant owner, and they asked for a duel to take away the house they liked.
And what are those bastards doing so hard to breed? The population grew quickly, and after five years they were as strong as ordinary hunters.
So Africa was full of orcs, and orc coups happened frequently in Southeast Asia.
But then an orc coup happened in Gilim Republic and they tried to support their breeding population by waging war on their neighboring countries.
How can a war be justified with such a bullshit reason?
If Russia had not supported them and opposed the dispatch of peacekeeping forces from the UN, trying to contain the US and the Western world, they would have been suppressed long ago.
But in the end, the one with the sword is the master, and the information soldiers of the Republic of Gilim had to invade the Heilong People’s Republic, which was once their brother.
“Damn, let’s hope the war ends soon.”
“How did our Han people end up like this…”
But it might be better than the socialist country D, where a necromancer became the head of state, with such resignation, he was tapping on the keyboard at that time──
-BEEP BEEP!
The alarm sounded throughout the computer room. The information soldiers of the Republic of Gilim screamed in horror.
“Wha, what? The headquarters information room hacked?! The third firewall was breached? It’s been less than 3 seconds since we caught it!
“Si, sir! The fifth firewall was broken through!”
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
Like other continental countries, the Republic of Gilim was also a military faction country that inherited the legacy of a former superpower.
They still had supercomputers and information assets that were active in protecting their national information network, and the system built by IT talents was solid.
Above all, the security capability of the military information command was not at the world’s best level, but it was not at a level that Heilong People’s Republic could handle.
But all those firewalls were breached in less than 5 seconds?
“GPS system disabled! Traffic Safety Agency down!”
“The tactical radio network collapsed! It seems that military satellites have also been taken over!”
“It’s not just the military radio network. Civilian networks too… This is crazy! The bank system is down too?”
What the hell is going on? The colonel who commanded the information command shouted urgently.
“Did those Yankees set off an EMP or something?! There was no nuclear missile in orbit!”
No, even if they detonated a nuclear missile with EMP from space orbit, would this be possible? Besides, there were more than one or two computer downs that could not be explained by EMP.
As everyone watched helplessly at all the disasters unfolding before their eyes, the same phrase began to appear on their screens.
“Wha, what is this?”
“The culprit…”
The phrase that appeared on their screens was──
「I came to end this war.」
