: Sky-high price bet!
“Which Assemblyman Kim?”
“The one who was your former boss, the head of the Strategy Department at the Seoul Central Prosecutor's Office, Minister Han’s boss.”
If Jin Do-jun remembered correctly, the result of this presidential election should be Assemblyman Kim.
Kim Faction, led by Han Qiangzhi.
“Are you sure it’s not Zhang?” Lee Se-hyun questioned.
The current presidential election had two main front-runners: one was Councilor Zhang, and the other was Assemblyman Kim.
Other councilors like Councilman Cho and Councilor Lu were negligible.
“Councilor Zhang?” Jin Do-jun shook his head and said, “He’s not clean.”
“The one who will ultimately win will definitely be Assemblyman Kim.”
“You’re a prophet!” Lee Se-hyun laughed, “Drink less alcohol, eat more pastries.”
【Jin Do-jun’s negative emotion value +10+10】
Jin Do-jun felt helpless; he knew no one would believe him. The Prosecutor in front of him completely took his words as a joke.
Lee Se-hyun sat back in his seat, scrutinizing Jin Do-jun. This guy was twelve out of ten times not right!
Why was Jin Do-jun so certain that Assemblyman Kim would ultimately win?
He looked absolutely convinced.
Oh no! Could this guy have also… opened his third eye?
“Reason!” Lee Se-hyun said seriously, “Give me a reason to believe you.”
Jin Do-jun was silent for a moment, then said, “A hunch!”
Hearing this answer, Lee Se-hyun fell silent.
Jin Do-jun was also helpless; he couldn’t just say, “I’m a transmigrator.”
In his previous life, he was Secretary Yi of the Sunyang Group on The Peninsula, tragically hit by a heavy-duty truck, and unexpectedly became the youngest son of a Chaebol family.
He was also Jin Do-jun, the youngest grandson of Chairman Tao, the head of the Sunyang Group.
“Prosecutor Li, how about we make a bet?”
At that moment, a news broadcast was playing on a TV screen, featuring the artificial intelligence AI Fa Gou versus the world’s number one chess master, Keji.
Live broadcast!
Jin Do-jun pointed at the screen and said, “Let’s bet on who will win this game of Go.”
Lee Se-hyun looked at the screen. The Go score was currently 0:1, with Chess Master Keji having scored one point at the start.
“Then I bet that AI Fa Gou will win in the end.”
“Uh…”
Jin Do-jun was dumbfounded. Why aren’t you playing by the rules?
A normal person should think that artificial intelligence is artificial stupidity and could never surpass humans.
These were the prevailing mainstream views at the time.
Lee Se-hyun smiled, thinking, trying to trick me, aren’t you? I’ve seen this game; Keji lost, 3:1.
Because of this battle, Keji’s dao heart was almost shattered by AI Fa Gou.
He was dispirited for a long time, unable to recover, and eventually realized that no one could beat Fa Gou.
In the end, it was an Ah Q-style spiritual victory that brought him back to his peak.
Just then, a voice from outside attracted Lee Se-hyun and Jin Do-jun.
“This drama will definitely be a huge hit, please believe me!”
“Tsk… The female lead of this drama is old and unknown, there’s no way it looks like it could be a hit.”
Oh Se-hyun explained, “Madam Piao, you must trust my judgment as a professional investor.”
“From a storyline perspective, this drama will definitely shock people worldwide, with a tragic love story as its base.”
“The male lead is a very promising actor in the entertainment industry, with very highAppearance (looks).”
“These days, people just love these sad love stories. A rich heiress falling in love with a poor boy, it’s absolutely full of hype and explosive viewing points.”
Facing Oh Se-hyun’s flattery, Madam Piao, the financier, remained unmoved and repeated, “The female lead is old and unknown.”
“And if it really is a blockbuster movie like you say, why don’t you invest in it yourself?”
Oh Se-hyun hung his head in dejection, defeated by this fool.
If he had money, would he still be a professional investor?
He had the vision, but no means to act on it!
“Oh, isn’t this Mr. Oh Se-hyun, the top investor? How come you’ve fallen so low after just a few minutes?”
【Oh Se-hyun’s negative emotion value +10+10】
“Let me see what kind of garbage you’re recommending others to invest in.”
“Your Heart Will Go On?”
“You’re recommending this thing?” Lee Se-hyun asked in surprise.
“None of your business!” Oh Se-hyun thought Lee Se-hyun was there to mock him and intended to leave, not wanting to get entangled with Lee Se-hyun.
“Did I tell you to leave?” Lee Se-hyun blocked Oh Se-hyun’s path.
【Oh Se-hyun’s negative emotion value +10+10】
Oh Se-hyun said impatiently, “Axi…”
“I declare, I, Lee Se-hyun, am investing in this project of yours!”
“Axi… what?”
Lee Se-hyun gestured with his hand, making an eight.
“Eighty thousand?” Oh Se-hyun exclaimed.
Lee Se-hyun shook his head.
“Not ten thousand? Is it a block?!” Oh Se-hyun said in disbelief.
【Oh Se-hyun’s negative emotion value +10+10】
“Eight hundred thousand US dollars!”
Just as Oh Se-hyun was about to turn and leave, he immediately stopped in his tracks upon hearing the words “US dollars.”
“Really?”
“It’s a done deal.”
“Mr. Li, I admit I spoke a bit loudly just now.”
Oh Se-hyun, beaming, introduced the movie, “This ‘Your Heart Will Go On’ is absolutely worth more than its price.”
“You won’t lose out by investing, you won’t be fooled…”
“No rush for that. Let’s sit over there and talk slowly.” Lee Se-hyun interrupted.
He led Oh Se-hyun to sit next to Jin Do-jun.
This left Jin Do-jun looking utterly confused.
Why are you two together?
… Oh Se-hyun, parched, said, “Mr. Li, when will that… eight hundred thousand US dollars be transferred?”
“No rush.”
“I…” Oh Se-hyun endured it for the money.
Lee Se-hyun opened his mouth to recruit him, “Are you interested in working for me?”
“Compared to investing in movies, I prefer investing in talent.”
“What do you say?”
Oh Se-hyun pondered, “I don’t like working for others, but I still thank you for your appreciation.”
Professional investors, to put it plainly, are freelancers. How much money they make depends entirely on how many clients they have.
Just like sales, more orders mean more earnings.
Seeing that persuasion wasn’t working, Lee Se-hyun changed his approach, “How about we make a bet?”
“Bet on what?” Oh Se-hyun asked curiously.
Oh Se-hyun followed Lee Se-hyun’srefer to (finger) to the screen, where the Go match between Fa Gou and Keji was being broadcast.
“Let’s bet that the final winner of the Go match will be Fa Gou.”
Oh Se-hyun looked at the score on the screen, 0:1, and Chess Master Keji, full of confidence, was soundly defeating the artificial idiot.
Oh Se-hyun sneered, “No matter how advanced artificial intelligence is, it’s created by humans and can never surpass humans.”
“A Go match primarily tests human subjective initiative.”
“A robot?”
“With all due respect, you’re destined to lose.”
Lee Se-hyun smiled, “If I lose, eighty thousand US dollars will be invested in you for free, and you…”
Oh Se-hyun interrupted, “I don’t like doing things that rely on luck.”
Lee Se-hyun wrote his contact information on a napkin, then left.
Jin Do-jun watched from the side, stunned. Wait, those were supposed to be my lines!
How could you steal my lines?
“Do you need anything else?” Oh Se-hyun asked Jin Do-jun, who was beside him.
“I also think artificial intelligence will defeat Keji.”
“Really?”
“We shall see.”
After Lee Se-hyun and Jin Do-jun had both left.
Oh Se-hyun took a sip of craft beer, looked at the match on the screen, and couldn’t help but shake his head.
How could a robot defeat a human?
Isn’t that ridiculous?
Suddenly, the crowd in the pub started shouting excitedly.
Oh Se-hyun’s heart tightened, and he looked up at the screen… Artificial intelligence actually won?!!?
