Chapter 38: The Global Shift

📅 Date: September 15, 1994

📍 NexTech Headquarters, Seoul, South Korea

Jin leaned back in his chair, eyes scanning the reports on his desk. Microsoft was in freefall. Their stocks had lost 40% of their value in less than a week, investors were jumping ship, and lawsuits were already piling up against them.

Bill Gates had gone silent. Not a single public statement.

Jin smirked. "Checkmate."

But he wasn't done.

📌 Key Goals in Jin's Mind:

✔ Finish Microsoft off for good.

✔ Secure a monopoly over the tech industry.

✔ Expand NexTech's control into new sectors.

📢 "Kang-ho, get in here."

His enforcer entered, a cigar in one hand, his other resting casually on the pistol holstered at his hip. "What's next, boss?"

Jin's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk. "We're taking over Silicon Valley."
