The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

83. Wavelan(2)

Hoyeong wanted to fly to America right away after knowing about Wavelan’s existence.

It was because it was clear that if Gaia could be properly utilized, the growth rate of various technologies would accelerate beyond imagination.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t leave right now.

It was because even if Hoyoung put off the work he had done, he couldn’t be away for a long time as the cell phone had just opened.

‘Even if there was only one punctual manager…’

Hoyoung swallowed his regret.

The current CEO of Hermes Telecom is Mason, but he was unfamiliar with management and telecommunications.

In particular, inflexible management was the biggest problem.

In order to pioneer a market that almost never existed, such as the mobile telecommunications business, instantaneous judgment is very important when an unexpected situation occurs.

However, Mason tried to act only according to the manual even in unexpected situations.

It was because he was afraid of failure while taking an adventure in an unfamiliar field.

So, inevitably, Hoyoung was managing the mobile communication almost directly.

Hoyeong was also not familiar with communication technology, but he was able to manage flexibly with the knowledge of the future he knew in advance.

‘Should I leave it to CEO Park Byung-yoon as soon as possible?’

After thinking for a while, Hoyoung shook his head and shook his head.

He was so busy that he couldn’t even open his eyes at Pantech.

At this time, it was absurd to go to the United States for personal business.

Hoyeong looked at the monitor and licked her lips.

I thought that the technology that had already been completed was not going to run away, so let’s not act impatiently.

At that time, Miru sneaked into Hoyeong’s open room and said,

“Director. I think I will have to move to the H&H building for a meeting related to Chronos.”

“thanks. I’ll be leaving soon.”

Hoyeong stopped thinking and put on her jacket.

He had too many responsibilities to focus on just one thought.

.

After a while, Hoyoung entered the lobby of H&H.

The distance from the headquarters of Hermes Telecom, where Hoyoung’s office is currently located, was less than a hundred meters.

And he had come a while ago, but at that time he had come as the owner of Hermes, and it had been a long time since he had come as a director of H&H.

“Director. hello? Today’s meeting is in the conference room on the 8th floor. You can go up there.”

“thanks.”

The desk clerk recognized Hoyeong and pointed out the location for today’s meeting.

Hoyoung and Miru headed towards the elevator.

As Miru got one step ahead of Hoyoung and was about to press the elevator button, Hoyoung realized that a familiar person was sitting in the first floor lounge.

“Chief, wait a minute.”

“yes.”

“Can you wait a minute?”

“All right.”

Hoyoung moved to the break room.

Fortunately, I wasn’t mistaken.

“Senior Joo Jeong. When did you come back to Korea?”

“Five. Hoyoung-ah, it’s been a while. You said you left the company?”

Kim Joo-jung said with a broad smile that she was glad to see Ho-yeong.

“What are you doing here?”

“Don’t you see? You are drinking coffee.”

“Weren’t you in Japan?”

“I came late last night. I’m going to summarize what happened in Japan in the morning and report it to Jinchan-senpai and now I’m going to rest.”

“Are you taking a break?”

“I couldn’t even rest a day in Japan because of Sonic’s chaos this time. Fortunately, Sonic and other Sega games are now being stably supplied. And Kronos, which entered the Mega Drive, is operating stably. Now, next month, a new Nintendo will be released, and until then, they told me to take a vacation soon.”

“Oh, is it? So, did you take a month off?”

“That’s how it is.”

Kim Joo-jung smiled with satisfaction.

It has been almost two years since he joined H&H.

In the meantime, I hadn’t been able to take a proper break, and the first break I finally had felt sweet.

“senior. Then what are you going to do for a month?”

“me? For now, I want to stay at my parents’ house for about a week.”

“What next?”

“Um… I don’t know. I don’t have any plans yet.”

Hoyoung smiled and said.

“senior. He said that if he rested for that long, his body would rust. Would you like to work part-time for a week or two?”

“What? What part-time job?”

“The company I run…”

Just then, a watch suddenly caught Hoyoung’s eyes.

It was 5 minutes before the start of the meeting.

“ah! I’m going to be late for the Kronos meeting today. I’ll call you right after the meeting. Did you answer the cell phone?”

Hoyoung opened the airphone to all employees of H&H, Hermes, Pantech, and Gate as mobile communication was opened and presented one each as a gift.

At the time of the gift, Kim Joo-jung’s phone, which was in Japan, was of course prepared.

“Oh, this? He gave it to me on my way to work this morning. Do you know my phone number?”

“yes. I have all of my seniors’ phone numbers. That’s what I’m giving you.”

“Oh, was it like that? I’ll get it right away Call me.”

“yes.”

Hoyoung and Miru took the elevator upstairs.

Actually, today’s meeting wasn’t very important, so Hoyoung thought it would be nice if the meeting ended quickly.

.

After a while.

Hoyoung left the meeting.

Next to him was Lee Jin-chan.

“Senior, according to the results of today’s meeting, I will make a rough development blueprint and send it to the Chronos team. Then, when the first one is completed, please send it to me right away. Thank you for your hard work.”

“You did a good job too. So, the overall stem will follow your opinion. but are you okay? Aren’t you busy these days?”

“Actually, I am very busy. So, by the way, can you help me with one thing?”

“What? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lee Jin-chan said seriously.

It was not common for Hoyoung to ask for help, so he tried to help with all his heart.

“It’s not that serious. Please lend me senior Jujeong.”

“yes? drunkenness?”

“yes. I heard you gave me a vacation for a month, senior Joo-jeong?”

“Isn’t he back from Japan after six months? He said he couldn’t take a day off during that time. So I told him to take a break until the next job. Right now, Game Development Team 2 doesn’t have much to do.”

Hoyoung nodded and said.

“I haven’t definitely asked senior Joo-jeong yet either. But first of all, I have to talk to my seniors.”

“okay. what am i As long as the alcohol is good, there is no reason to stop it.”

“thanks.”

“What are you thankful for?”

After breaking up with Lee Jin-chan, Ho-yeong came down to the first floor and called Kim Joo-jung.

“Where is your senior?”

– I’m on the first floor now.

“Are you still on the first floor?”

– Yes, I was just reading a book on the first floor.

“Where is the first floor?”

“here.”

I looked back at the voice and saw Kim Joo-jung grinning.

“What part-time job? Is it difficult?”

“It can be really difficult for some, but it can be easy for others.”

“What are you talking about.”

“Senior, would you like to become a professional manager of Hermes Telecom, which I run for just two weeks?”

“I?”

Kim Joo-jung had an absurd expression.

“What kind of management am I suddenly doing? I’ve never done it, and I’m not confident.”

“Senpai will be able to do really well.”

“How do you know?”

“I know everything.”

Hoyoung’s expression was serious.

It is also true that Hoyeong already knew that Kim Joo-jung was running a successful business in the future.

It was his sense of management that made Nexen a global company and raised sales of trillions of won, not because he was good at making games or because he had great knowledge in the field.

“Hey, when you say that, you really seem to know.”

“haha. Because it’s true. Then, shall we stop doing this here and move on? I’ll treat you to something delicious.”

“okay. I get it right away Do I eat expensive food?”

“sure. Even if you ask me to buy one Korean beef, I will buy it for you.”

“Yeah, you did a good job. Let’s go eat Korean beef. Korean beef.”

“yes. I’ll serve you with two horns.”

Hoyeong walked ahead, and Jujeong followed him.

For some reason, Kim Joo-jung thought that this part-time job would not end as a simple part-time job.

.

.

.

A week later, Hoyoung headed to the airport feeling relieved.

“Director. You look really good.”

“Is it that obvious?”

“Haha, not so much. I can feel it after seeing you for a long time.”

Hoyoung answered the question with a bright expression without a word.

With continuous favors and bribe (?) offerings, Kim Joo-jung decided to listen to Ho-young’s request.

The two-week remuneration, which was more than double the salary Kim received at H&H, also made Kim’s choice easier.

In fact, the current CEO of Hermes Telecom has not much to do.

First of all, Hoyoung has created a manual for two weeks, so it is not difficult to follow it, and when an unexpected situation occurs, contact Hoyoung first, and if you cannot reach him, you can arbitrarily judge and take action first and report later.

‘Mason had a hard time improvising.’

However, Mason struggled with arbitrary judgment itself.

That’s why the representative position itself was burdensome.

But Kim Joo-jung is different.

Most of Kim Ju-jung’s achievements in Japan were achievements made by her own judgment.

Of course, Hoyoung gave a guideline, but within that line, he made the best judgment without making any mistakes.

Hoyoung believed in his ability.

So, even though it was only two days of short training, I was able to believe in him and go to the United States with just that training.

In addition, Hoyoung was also making long-term plans after that.

‘I’m sorry for Jin-chan, but it would be the best choice for me if Joo-jeong continues to be the manager of Hermers.’

Hoyeong thought of how to seduce Kim Joo-jung in the future.

“Director. Im here.”

“okay. Let’s go.”

Miru parked the car in the parking lot.

At first, we dropped Hoyoung at the airport first and then parked separately, but Hoyoung said to save time and walked with us from the parking lot.

Hoyoung got out of the car and walked vigorously to the departure hall.

It was a better departure than ever.

I even felt better than the day I went to win the lottery.

.

.

.

NCR Corporation was founded in 1884 in Dayton, Ohio, as a company that manufactures, sells, and provides related services for ATM and POS equipment.

Naturally, the first place Hoyoung went to after coming to America was NCR Corporation.

“This is true. With the boss, you come all the way to Ohio. At this rate, I will go all over the country.”

“smith. Are you thinking of going nationwide? I am thinking of the whole world.”

“Five. this. That is good news.”

Hoyoung met Smith who was waiting at Dayton International Airport and left for NCR Corporation.

This time, there was no plan to take over or invest, so there was no need for Smith to come.

“Then, can you just buy products from the company you are working for?”

“yes. I came to purchase a prototype because the product I was looking for had not yet been commercialized.”

“Then it may not be easy. Because no company wants to leak the technology before it is commercially available.”

“I’m going to bring it to Korea, not the US, and use it, and wouldn’t it be possible if there was a confidentiality clause?”

“Hmm… I guess we’ll have to talk about it first.”

“okay. I’ll go and have a look.”

After a while, the car carrying Hoyoung and Smith arrived at NCR Corporation.

“Chief, then would you like to park and wait in the lobby? I’ll make sure Smith and I go up and down.”

“yes.”

Hoyoung left behind Miru, who went to the parking lot, and entered NCR Corporation.

When I entered the NCR Corporation and told the information desk that Smith had agreed to meet me today, the desk clerk immediately guided the two somewhere.

There was a nameplate hanging on the door where the desk clerk arrived.

[CEO]

“Are you going to the representative’s office right away?”

“yes. I have been instructed to meet you right here upon arrival.”

“okay.”

The employee knocked and went in and out of the CEO’s office first.

“Please come in. I hope you have a nice conversation.”

“thank you.”

The staff greeted me and went back to the desk.

Hoyoung opened the door and greeted him as he entered.

“hello?”

“yes. hello? Welcome.”

In the representative office, a middle-aged man welcomed Ho-young.

“My name is Hoyoung Yun from Korea. Mr. Please call me Yoon or yoon.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Dolph.”

“Nice to see you too. This is Smith. I am in charge of all legal matters for my company.”

“okay. smith. Nice to meet you.”

After shaking hands with Hoyoung once, Dolph led Hoyoung and Smith to a table built on one side of the wall of the CEO’s room.

“I think you will know roughly why I came here.”

“yes. As you contacted us the other day, do you want to purchase a prototype equipped with WaveLAN wireless communication technology that we are about to produce?”

“you’re right.”

Dolph was smiling.

Hoyoung thought that fortunately the results would be good.

However, his expectations were spectacularly wrong.

“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult.”

“Is it because of a technology leak? I came to this place with the thought of making a pledge that I would never leak my technology. You can bet on the condition of an astronomical penalty.”

Dolph firmly shook his head.

“sorry. That’s not why.”

“Then why?”

Hoyoung asked with a puzzled expression.

“Actually, our company is struggling a lot right now. Although we collaborated with AT&T to create this technology, AT&T seemed to think that it would not make money right away, so AT&T took its feet half way after the technology was completed.”

“I guess that happened.”

“yes. It costs close to $500,000 to build one prototype. Later, when the technology becomes more stable and mass-produced, the price will drop dramatically.”

Hoyoung nodded as if he understood what I meant.

“You mean you have to do some kind of business with the prototype device you’ve built and get some investment?”

“That’s right. Even if you say you’re going to buy it for $500,000, we don’t have the time to recreate that prototype. Even while making it, maintenance costs continue to be incurred.”

Dolph had a really serious face.

Hoyeong looked closely at Dolph.

From his gloomy expression, it seemed that a cross section of how much he cared about the company could be seen.

“How much money do you need to invest?”

“I think it will be possible to complete the technology with another million dollars in the future.”

“okay? Then, what is the market capitalization of NCR Corporation now?”

“Now it’s a little under $20 million.”

Hoyoung’s eyes sparkled.

“Then, if you no longer have to go around looking for investors with that prototype, are you willing to hand it over to me?”

“sure. Not having to go around looking for investors would mean that the investment was eventually obtained or the company was bankrupt. If that happens, there will be no need for that machine, so I will sell it at the cost price only.”

“Haha, then let’s do the former.”

“yes?”

“Investment that you need, I will do it. half of its market cap. I will invest $10 million, give me 49% of the company.”

Dolph didn’t understand Hoyoung’s words at once, and only blinked for a moment.
