When I heard his name in Chinese, I didn't recognize it, but seeing his face made everything click. This was Alvin Chau, the man destined to become the king of Macau's casinos. He would later own over twenty casinos in Macau alone, becoming a true titan of the industry. And he didn't stop at gambling. He ventured into entertainment and film, succeeding there as well. Which means this guy's claim of having nothing to do with our situation could just be a lie to save his skin. "Zhou Zhuhua—or should I…-

Department of Homeland Security. Jessica strode into the office of the Secretary who commanded all of America's intelligence operations. Secretary Michael Chertoff glanced up from the documents on his desk, greeting her with a smile. "Oh Jessica, what brings you here? What's so urgent you had to cancel everything to meet?" "Mr. Secretary, it's truly urgent." Seeing Jessica's rigid expression Michael let out a hearty laugh. "Haha, it's a first seeing our DHS elite Jessica this worked up. Well, let's…

As Ji-young engaged in conversation, the sun began to set beyond the bus window. An employee who had been guarding outside entered and whispered something to Manager Ma. Stopping mid-sentence, Manager Ma turned to us and said. "The manager is safe." "Really?" "Yes. He needs surgery, but thankfully, his life is not at risk." Hearing this, Ji-young's expression brightened as she asked. "Uncle, the manager is okay?" "Yes, miss. That's the message we received." "Ah..." As the tension released,…

The inside of the trailer was a complete mess. Blood stained the floor crimson while Cheon Ji-young's clothes and accessories were scattered everywhere. I looked around slowly while muttering to myself. "So this is where she's been staying." The nearest hotel was about two hours away so she must have spent most of her time here... It couldn't have been comfortable. "Let's clean this up first." Manager Ma directed the staff to start tidying the place. "Don't bother with the blood. We're disposing of…

The best outcome would be if Hu Jintao or high-ranking Communist Party officials invested in my companies. Then regulations would naturally dissolve and we'd gain all sorts of benefits. Of course Hu Jintao and the top officials couldn't invest directly under their own names. They'd obviously use proxies but knowing which companies they planned to invest in was valuable enough. Call him a puppet or whatever but the next decade belonged to Hu Jintao. "Are you suggesting I invest in Chinese companies?…

Money can solve anything. At least, that's what I thought. But Jang Seong-taek seemed to disagree, furrowing his brow as he responded. "That's because you don't understand our Republic well. It'll be hard to persuade them with money. When you're by the Chairman's side, money naturally follows." He's making simple things sound complicated. I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm sure that's true. But that only applies to high-ranking military officers and officials. Field grade officers, or what you'd…

After leaving Alibaba, I flew to Beijing to visit Baidu. Baidu also wanted new investment. We agreed to draft the contract after Han Gyeong-yeong entered China. Chinese IT companies were growing fast and would only accelerate. My early investments had paid off handsomely. The companies I invested in had grown tenfold since my initial investment. They would continue growing until they dominated the Chinese market completely. Though exhausted from the busy schedule, a smile refused to leave my face. The…

Massive funding was needed to compete with America's eBay. eBay was already the leader in global e-commerce. They had finished preparations to acquire EachNet, China's C2C leader, and were ready to enter the Chinese market this year. If eBay merged with EachNet and entered the Chinese market no company could stop them right now. Jack Ma needed money and I could provide plenty of it. The answer came not from Jack Ma but from Chai Chongxin. "We need at least fifty million dollars." I turned to look at…

"I'll head to the U.S. before the summit. Let's start negotiations first. Since the summit is in June, April should be perfect. Send Myeong-su to Washington as a special envoy then." Yoon Chang-ho's face brightened visibly. "You'll do that? That takes a load off my mind." "Don't get your hopes too high. Revising SOFA will be difficult but I'll try to get those involved in the two girls' deaths extradited. That should help sway public opinion though nothing's guaranteed." "I understand." Yoon Chang-ho…
