The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

70. test

“ha ha ha! That’s a nice expression. great. I’ll try to review it as soon as it goes back today.”

Kang Hyun-woo, who had been looking at Ho-young’s confident expression for a long time, said with a chuckle.

‘Whew-‘

Hoyoung let out a sigh of relief.

The current telecommunications business was a national monopoly business.

However, as Korea Telecom promoted privatization from last year, it was no longer a monopoly business, and several companies were looking to enter the telecommunications business.

“This, I’m sure you’ll hear what Chairman Kim said.”

Hyeonu Kang talked to himself in low passing words, but Hoyeong listened carefully.

The Chairman Kim Kang Hyeon-woo was referring to now must have been the chairman Kim Hyun-jong of a conglomerate that later changed its name to the Sankyung Group and later to the SG Group.

‘The SG Group must have been interested in the telecommunications business since then.’

Hoyoung thought about SG Telecom in the future.

Among the only three telecommunications companies in Korea, a huge group that accounted for half of the customer share.

“Brother. Can I ask you for just one word?”

“of course.”

“Perhaps, if I talk to the Minister well, and above all, if I think that the data submitted by my juniors are credible, I will probably get permission for the establishment of a news agency.”

“thank you.”

Hoyeong nodded, and Kang Hyeonu waved his hand.

“Well, I didn’t mean to ask for a thank you. If you start a business, money is good, but I want you to run it properly. Especially in terms of price.”

For a moment, Hoyoung was taken aback.

It was because Kang Hyeon-woo couldn’t figure out what he meant by saying this to Ho-yeong.

If you sincerely worry about the people…

“This is the first private telecommunications company approved by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, but if we get too expensive or the service is poor, the arrows will return to us intact. Because of this, I originally intended to entrust it to a large company.”

Then it is.

Hoyoung sighed inwardly.

Hyeonu Kang, unaware of Hoyeong’s feelings, smiled and continued.

“By the way, the head of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, how snarky the old man is. They say that this technology can bring about a revolution in Korea, but they are going around here and there, so they allow it, so please do not make noise. got it?”

“yes. Okay. Thank you for your advice.”

Hoyoung did not show his inner feelings and gave a heartless thank you.

First of all, getting the business rights safely was the priority.

“Okay then, I’ll get up first. The meal was delicious.”

“Take a look.”

Kang Hyeon-woo passed away, and Ho-young could not hide the ridicule he had hidden.

“I don’t like it.”

This was also the reason why Hoyeong lived alone without forming a group in her previous life.

He wanted to live one step away from the dark struggle between power and money.

However, Hoyoung had no intention of avoiding it in this life.

“This time, I will fight head-on and grow. So much so that no one can touch it.”

Ho-young naturally thought of Jo Nam-sik, who was the goal of this life.

The future Jo Nam-sik, who wielded unparalleled power with the title of head of the country’s top company and overflowing wealth.

Hoyoung naturally overturned him and remembered himself standing there.

Of course, it is impossible for Hoyeong to make such reckless actions and choices just because she is on the job.

Kwadeuk-

He clenched his fists as if to make up his mind.

Time passed quickly.

The eventful 1990 was now at a different point in time.

In the meantime, it was a time when there was no big change on the outside.

It must have looked like that because everything directly or indirectly related to Hoyoung was running toward the goal without producing any special results.

However, Hoyoung had a busier day than ever.

First, the establishment of Hoyoung’s holding company was completed.

And Hermes Telecom’s communication business was also approved.

Hoyoung immediately established Hermes Telecom, and under it, the ADSL team and the CDMA team began the process of executing the business simultaneously.

ADSL, a technology that had already been completed, was about to start a truly tangible service by installing repeaters everywhere, and CDMA was also speeding up technology completion by directly dispatching experts from Qualcomm.

And today was the day when the prototype of the Zeus phone, the first CDMA mobile phone made by Pantech, was completed and tested for practicality.

“President. Are you here?”

“CEO Park. Please don’t call me president. Oh yeah.”

“Then what should I call you? You can’t even call me Director Yoon like before, and even if you call me Teacher Yoon Ho-young, what are you doing?”

Ho-yeong showed disapproval at Park Young-yoon’s mischievous words.

It turns out that Park Young-yoon was a very playful and humorous person.

I always call Hoyoung the boss, but at one point, the boss is me! Then he started referring to Hoyoung as the chairman.

“Ha… I can’t help it. Call me whatever you feel comfortable with.”

“I was already doing that. President.”

Hoyoung shook his head as he saw Youngyoon Park smiling.

“Hoyoung! Haven’t you started yet?”

“senior! You’re busy. How did you come?”

“Our H&H is also proudly holding it, isn’t it? Of course, I should come to the place where they test new products.”

Ho-yeong was sincerely glad to see Lee Jin-chan, who made a surprise visit.

It’s been a while since I haven’t stopped by H&H because I’m too busy these days, so it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face.

“Then I will come later as I now have to conduct the test. There will be successful results, so stay tuned. President.”

Park Young-yoon nodded and went up to the test site.

“Oh oh! Hoyoung, are you listening to the president? How great?”

“haha. It just happens to be like that.”

Lee Jin-chan teased Ho-yeong a few more times, as if seeing Ho-young’s embarrassed expression was funny, then focused on the cell phone test when it seemed like the experiment would start.

“Mr. Park We are ready here.”

On stage, Irwin’s son Paul, who is currently the CEO of Qualcomm, came to Korea and was conducting tests.

This test was a test of the first CDMA mobile phone made by Pantech, but it was also the first stage to test the CDMA communication network in the Korean environment.

If Qualcomm installed a temporary base station and tested it when Qualcomm demonstrated its technology in New York the other day, this technology was important to Qualcomm as the base station used today is a base station that was properly built with in mind that it will be used as a base when it is actually commercialized.

“ruler. Then we will proceed with the test. The test method is simple. A total of five mobile phones were built as prototypes. And we’ve already sent people with prototypes at 5km, 10km, 15km, 20km, 25km. It seems that it will be a sufficient test because there are plains, downtown areas, and mountainous areas on a straight line.”

The people who came to see the test were, of course, some employees of Hermes Telecom, people from Qualcomm, and Dr. Lee Woong-won from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and people from the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications.

And Hoyoung deliberately called several reporters for this test.

The reporters were taking photos with expressions that made them wonder why they had come all the way to this place.

Then the real experiment began.

“Okay, first five kilometers.”

Park Young-yoon dialed the temporary cell phone number.

Turrrr- Turrrr- Beep-!

– hello?

“yes. hello. Can you hear me?”

– Yes, I can hear you. I am at 5km and there is currently nothing between the base station and me.”

“I can hear you too. I suffered.”

In the 5km circle, of course, a clear voice was heard without any noise.

“Okay, next is 10km. Can you hear me?”

– yes. 10 km here. It sounds clean!

“What is between the base station and the base station?”

– I know there are a few small hills, but nothing special.

“thank you.”

10 km was also a pass.

And I could hear the clear voice even at 15km along the mountain and 20km along the city in between.

And the long-awaited 25 km.

“hello?”

– W… Are you serious?

“Can you hear me?”

– Please write again… peel?

Sighs poured out from here and there at the sound of a broken voice coming from the receiver.

In order to demonstrate the performance of a mobile phone properly, it was necessary to maintain call quality up to 30 km from the present point.

However, if the voice cut off like that already from the 25km line, it was inevitable to think that there was still a long way to go to commercialize it.

However, Hoyoung looked at Park Youngyoon’s expression.

His expression was not one of disappointment, but that of a prankster planning a prank.

“everyone. It’s still too early to say. In fact, what we have used so far is the test with the experimental equipment we prepared when the research was not completed.”

The audience again focused on Park Young-yoon’s words.

Park Young-yoon took out another terminal from his pocket and showed it to the people.

“This phone is an improved model that we completed only three days ago. First of all, I’m really sorry to startle you. I will call you back.”

Instead of saying he was sorry, he grinned.

Park Young-yoon called again.

After a few signals, a very slightly broken but intelligible voice came out of the speaker.

– Can you hear me?

“Wow! You did it!”

The audience unanimously rejoiced.

However, Park Young-yoon was not happy yet.

He asked another word into the receiver.

“It sounds really clean. Where are you now?”

– Currently, this is Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do!

People were agitated at the voice of the receiver.

“How far is Gapyeong from Gangnam in a straight line?”

“Oh My God. It’s about 50km away!”

Hoyoung smiled.

He didn’t hate Park Young-yoon’s performance.

Looking back, I saw reporters who hadn’t been interested in the moment before, pressing the shutters of their cameras.

“Thanks to your support, the prototype test was successfully completed today. In our own pre-test, once the range exceeds 50km, the quality drops drastically, so we consider the range of the current technology to be 50km. Thank you so much for coming out in the cold.”

Park Young-yoon bowed his head, and the audience all forgot about the cold and applauded enthusiastically.

Hoyoung also clenched his fists so as not to be seen.

In fact, even after the prototype test was completed, it was still a long and difficult road to start the service.

However, Hoyoung thought that just crossing a big mountain was worthwhile.
