The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

88. check

Hermes Telecom’s 11th floor laboratory.

Although the name was a laboratory, it was actually a spare room.

Hoyoung installed a wavelan device brought from the United States in the room.

The wavelan device was huge.

It was not a small size that could be placed in a corner of a room like a wireless router of the future, but it was large enough to fill one wall of a fairly large room.

But what is the size?

“Gaia, are you ready?”

“yes. Wireless Internet reception is available now.”

“OK. Goes.”

Hoyoung turned on the wavelan device.

Weing-

I heard the dull sound of the machine running, and after a while, a welcome Wi-Fi icon appeared in the right corner of the smart watch with Gaia built in.

And that’s with three spaces full.

“done! Gaia, are you connected to the Internet?”

“yes. Internet connection successful.”

“It was good.”

Hoyoung clenched her fists.

“The pace is very slow. 5 Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload.”

“That’s enough success. Wired ADSL now has a maximum speed of about 8Mbps, so a loss rate of about 30% is a success.”

Hoyeong was satisfied with this speed.

5 Mbps meant download speeds of around 500 Kb/s, although that’s far less than future Wi-Fi speeds of over 100 Mbps.

As long as it wasn’t downloading a high-capacity video or heavy file, that was enough speed for Gaia to operate.

“How is Gaia? The internet world in 1991.”

Gaia was silent for a long time.

It was unknown whether he was judging what Hoyoung intended to ask such a question, or whether he was calculating something that Hoyoung did not know.

After a while, Gaia’s voice came from the watch.

“Narrow, slow.”

Calm Gaia’s sentimental review.

But it was understandable enough.

Still, the service area had just entered Gyeonggi-do, and the number of users had just exceeded 150,000.

It was an environment that would make Gaia feel frustrated.

“Hang in there. The Internet will grow rapidly in just a few years.”

“All right.”

Hoyoung felt something vague.

future.

The reason she experienced that future was because she felt that there were only Gaia and herself in this world.

Here, no one can talk about the future.

So it could have been that Hoyoung wanted to bring the future forward.

thiririri-

Just then, Hoyoung’s phone rang.

“hello?”

– Hoyoung. How can you not say anything when you say you are back in Korea?

“ah! Senior Jin-chan? I’m sorry. As soon as I arrived, I had something urgent to do.”

– Are you done with that?

“yes. it’s over.”

– Then come out! Today’s H&H dinner. you can’t fall Jin-taek, Hyung-jin and Won-shik said they would come, and Tae-gyeong would come too. Do you know Ttukuri? come there Oh! Do I have to bring Jujeong? You can’t eat it.

“I know.”

A small smile appeared on Hoyoung’s lips after talking to Jinchan Lee.

Hoyoung felt faint when he thought of the future, but he was not lonely now.

I couldn’t call the future right now, but there were colleagues and friends who were moving towards the future together.

“Gaia. I’m leaving my smart watch here, so would you like to browse the Internet freely today?”

“All right.”

I released Gaia into the room, put it in a drawer, and locked the door.

Of course, if someone steals Gaia, it can’t be used unless it’s Hoyoung, but he was trying to double- and triple-security just in case.

“Gaia, how is the connection speed in it?”

“There is nothing much different from before.”

“Okay. i’ll go Oh!”

Ho-yeong was about to leave the lab in a good mood, but hesitated for a moment before pulling out her cell phone and making a call somewhere.

After a while, someone answered the phone.

– This is Jo Jung-sik’s boss.

“Ah, Secretary Kim? This is Yun Ho-young.”

– Hoyoung Yoon? The boss can’t answer the phone right now because of a meeting. Can I tell you something?

“There is no need to do that. I just want to make sure you have a good schedule for tomorrow.”

– Please wait a moment. Let’s check if the schedule is reflected correctly.

“thank you.”

After a while, I heard the sound of flipping some papers, and then I heard Kim Man-sik’s voice.

– You have an appointment tomorrow at 2pm at the Hilton Hotel.

“yes. see you tommorow.”

Hoyoung hung up the phone and left the room in a good mood.

.

.

.

The day after spending a good time with seniors after a long time.

Hoyoung waited for the adjustment ceremony while drinking coffee at the Hilton Hotel.

It wasn’t that Jo Jung-sik was late, it was that Ho-yeong had come about 20 minutes early to organize his thoughts.

‘In order to properly utilize Gaia, I need Jo Jung-sik’s help.’

While Hoyoung was thinking about this and that, Jo Jungsik arrived.

“Hyoyoung. nice to meet you How long has this been?”

“It seems like it’s been about a month and a half. Have you finished working on your homepage?”

“yes. Father was very satisfied. It’s all thanks to Hoyoung.”

“haha. What. I didn’t do anything. Is there anything else you would like to ask for?”

“Right now. For now, the focus is on providing computers and internet connectivity to all of the group’s businesses. If this is done, I think I will have a favor to ask of you soon.”

Hoyoung and Jo Jungsik sat face to face at the table and exchanged a few more words.

“Now, the reason you asked to see me today is that you have something to ask of me?”

Then Jo Jung-sik turned the topic.

Jo Jung-sik was curious about Ho-young’s request.

“yes. It may be a little difficult request.”

“ha ha ha. Hoyoung said that it was a difficult request coming out of his mouth. Do you think this is a really difficult request?”

“I would like you to meet the Yeouido Geumbaeji.”

“If it’s a gold badge, is it a member of the National Assembly?”

Hoyoung nodded.

In the future, lawmakers will no longer wear badges as part of the campaign to drop parliamentary privileges from 2016, but at this time, lawmakers were still wearing gold badges.

Jo Jung-sik made an unknown expression.

“Is this a very difficult request?”

“Hmm···. no. It’s a gold badge… It may be the easiest request in the world, or it may be the most difficult one.”

When Hoyoung made a puzzled expression because he couldn’t understand what he was saying, Jo Jung-sik laughed and said, “Haha.”

“It’s easy to meet them. There are no people in the world that are so easy to meet. But doing them a favor is another thing. There are cases where I asked because I thought it was an incredibly easy request, but there are cases where I don’t listen even if I die, and conversely, there are times when I thought it was a really difficult request but willingly accepted it.”

“Are you short on pocket money? As long as it’s money, I can…”

Jo Jeong-sik shook his head to stop Ho-yeong from speaking.

“haha. Is it because I’m short of money? It’s not about money.”

“Then what is the problem?”

“It’s a matter of whether it’s beneficial to their forces or not.”

“Aha···.”

Hoyoung nodded.

Although he was far from politics in the past, he understood the nature of the Korean political scene to some extent.

They thoroughly move for the benefit of the party they belong to.

Hoyeong thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Is the gold badge you are lining up a Progressive Party or a Conservative Party?”

“Both sides have ties, but they are closer to the Conservatives. Probably because I am a chaebol.”

Hoyoung understood Jo Jungsik’s meaning and nodded.

Whether in the future or now, politicians with progressive tendencies did not have a good perception of conglomerates and conglomerates.

“Then it wouldn’t be that big of a problem.”

“okay? Can you tell me what you’re asking for?”

“It is a request that I would like to propose an amendment to the bill. More precisely, I would like to amend the Securities and Exchange Act.”

“The Securities and Exchange Act?”

“yes.”

Jo Jung-sik calmly waited for Ho-young to say the next thing, and Ho-yeong moistened his throat once before continuing.

“I want to make stock trading possible using electronic communications. The penetration rate of computers is rapidly increasing day by day, and the Internet is also spreading accordingly. If the law is amended to allow stock trading over the Internet accordingly, wouldn’t the number of users and investment amount increase explosively?”

“Are you talking about live trading?”

“yes. It allows individuals to buy and sell stocks on their own without the help of a brokerage firm, as long as they have a computer and the Internet.”

Jo Jung-sik nodded in admiration.

“It’s a great idea. If it really becomes a reality, there will definitely be an explosive reaction. Besides, lawmakers will want to make the innovation their own. I have no reason to object.”

“If the bill is safely passed, Myungsung Securities will be the first to implement internet stock trading. In addition, more people will use Internet transactions if the transaction fee is set lower than when trading directly at the window.”

In fact, it wasn’t the first time trading stocks remotely.

The DIAL VAN service, which has been implemented by Woodae Securities since 1989, was the ancestor of internet stock trading.

Dial van was a method of viewing stock quotes through PC communication and placing trading orders using the phone.

However, it was clear that Internet stock trading would make trading more convenient and faster.

“Well sir. I’ll get the right legislators to get things going.”

Jo Jung-sik, hearing Ho-young’s story, seemed to be moved and wanted to finish the meeting as soon as possible.

Hoyoung bowed her head slightly and said.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“yes. However, in order to use a computer, it is necessary to have an appropriate infrastructure such as a website or program… You don’t have to worry about that.”

“you’re right. I will make them.”

“Iknow, right. I was worried for nothing.”

Jo Jung-sik laughed leisurely and then stood up from his seat and said.

“Okay then wait a week. It could be faster than that.”

“Would that be possible?”

“haha. I am an adjustment. If you tell me the name of fame, there will be a line of lawmakers who want to share a meal.”

“Then I will believe you.”

Jo Jung-sik answered confidently and left the room.

Hoyoung smiled slightly as he saw Jo Jung-shik’s visit.

When online stock trading starts, if you start first at Myeongseong Securities, the person who can benefit the most right now is none other than Jo Jung-sik.

Jo Jung-sik also intuitively realized that and went to work right away.

In particular, this is an opportunity to be recognized more by his father.

Recently, Jo Jung-sik has been receiving a lot of recognition from Jo Hee-chang, but most of the achievements were merely stealing Jo Nam-sik’s achievements.

Because of that, he was thirsty for success in his field.

‘The more Jo Jung-shik is recognized, the more Jo Nam-shik and his reputation fall into a pit.’

The current state of fame wasn’t going all the way.

The software team, which Heechang Cho believes is currently growing smoothly, is actually not very high level.

Rather, the level of the IT team created by Jo Nam-sik was higher.

However, at Jo Jung-sik’s request, Ho-young created the software, and the credit was shared between Jo Jung-sik and the software team.

As a result, members of the software team suffer the bizarre phenomenon of being recognized without much effort, and not thinking about improving themselves.

Plus a cell phone.

The current period was the time for Myungsung Electronics to gradually build up its mobile phone manufacturing technology and know-how.

However, as Hoyoung preoccupied the patent for CDMA and did not grant permission to Myungsung Electronics, only GSM-type classic mobile phones were still being manufactured.

Most importantly, Jo Nam-sik was unable to operate Myeongseong Electronics as he wished.

In a past life, Jo Nam-shik rose to the position of president of Myeongseong Electronics in 1991.

However, now he was not even thinking about getting promoted from executive director, let alone president.

“Shall we go too?”

“yes.”

Hoyeong also got dressed and returned to work.

As soon as he returned to work, the secretary gave Ho-young a note and said,

“There was someone looking for the president. I asked you to call me at this number if you come.”

“Who is it?”

“My name is Park Byung-jin, general manager of Anam Industries.”

Hoyoung unknowingly clenched his fists.

Anam Industrial is Korea’s first semiconductor company that started the semiconductor business in 1968.

Although it cannot be compared to Myungsung Electronics, which has grown rapidly over the years, it was one of the leading conglomerates in Korea.

Hoyoung had been in constant contact with Anam Industrial for a long time to keep Myeongseong Electronics in check.

However, I had given up halfway because there had been no contact until now, but it was only today that I got a call.

The reason why Myungsung Electronics has not stumbled despite recent failures and is still doing well is the semiconductor.

Even if there were failures in the IT and mobile phone areas, the current revenue from semiconductors made those failures invisible.

‘Now, let’s encroach on the semiconductor one by one.’

Hoyoung folded the memo he received from his secretary and put it in his arms.
