The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

90. Consideration

After a while.

Ho-young returned to Hermes Telecom and met Kim Joo-jung.

“senior. For now, you can continue working here. He said that he would allow me to change jobs if he wanted to.”

“Ah, did Jin-chan do that?”

Kim Joo-jung, who heard that Lee Jin-chan had given up on changing jobs, was happy inside, although he didn’t show it.

“yes. And that’s not the end.”

“Isn’t it the end?”

“Did you decide to give us the 2 game development teams led by your senior?”

“Is that true?”

Kim Joo-jung did not hide her happy expression.

What bothered him the most about leaving H&H was the game development team 2.

There were things he was doing, and all his colleagues were in the 2nd team, so he couldn’t help but think that he would throw them away.

“yes. Development Team 2 will change its name to the Publishing Department in the future and put it on the gate.”

“Yeah, I think the same way. After all, there will be many advantages in game publishing if you work with Portal.”

“And I have something else to tell you.”

“What is it this time?”

Hoyoung said meaningfully.

“senior. Can I work alone for about a week like when I am in the US?”

“It’s not that difficult under the circumstances. why? Where else should I go?”

“It is not far. I decided to provide my labor for one week.”

Kim Joo-jung put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then nodded.

“Are you a development team?”

“Right.”

“Puhaha. Jinchan-senpai already had a headache because finishing the Legend of the Wind was difficult, but in the end, he solved it this way. Do everything you want to do perfectly. If this happens, I think we will be publishing the Legend of the Wind as well, right?”

“yes. Jin-chan sunbae also said the same thing. If you have an urgent matter while working, please contact us right away. He’ll be in the building right in front anyway, and his cell phone works.”

“i get it. Anything more to say?”

“yes. Could you call Mason and talk about fiber optic research? Because I said I would give enough money for research.”

“Now that I’ve heard about it, it seems like you and I talked to a certain extent?”

“Yes.”

“Then it will be quicker. i get it. I’ll call you and proceed.”

“thanks.”

Hoyoung had a few more conversations with Kim Joojung before leaving the room.

Because there was one thing left to do before I went to work at H&H.

Returning to his room, he unfolded the memo he had tucked away in his arms and called the phone number written on it.

“hello? Are you Park Byung-jin, manager of Anam Industrial? nice to meet you My name is Hoyoung Yun from Hermes.”

– ah. Hoyoung Yoon. I was wondering when you would contact me.

“Sorry for contacting you late.”

– no. Not like this over our phone, when shall we make an appointment to meet? Lunch is good, dinner is good too.

I thought that Park Byung-jin would have a strict personality with just his voice, but he was more cool than I thought.

“When is a good time?”

– If it’s going to be short, tomorrow is fine right now, and if it’s going to be long, it should be next week.

Since Hoyoung also has work at H&H, he thought that next week would be good.

“Then, how about seeing you sometime next week?”

– I know. Then how about next Wednesday evening?

Looking at the calendar on the desk, fortunately there was no schedule for Wednesday evening.

Besides, today is Monday.

The week I promised with Lee Jin-chan was already over.

“Good Wednesday evening. Let me serve you.”

– good. Should I buy you something tasty?

Park Byung-jin smiled kindly and hung up the phone.

Hoyoung also got up from his desk, cleaned up his clothes, and headed to H&H.

Next week’s promise is a promise, and for now, it was important to finish the legend of the wind perfectly.

.

“Senior Jintaek. It was a lot of trouble.”

“You really worked hard, Hoyoung. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have caught the errors pouring out at the end.”

“What. If I had time, I would have done it all. It’s because I’m so tight on time.”

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Kim Jin-taek and Song Tae-gyeong were struggling because they could not fill the last 1% after completing 99% of the development team with the staff, and fortunately, Hoyeong was able to easily identify the problem and complete it.

Hoyoung had no choice but to devote most of his waking hours to coding in order to meet the one-week period.

It was a development schedule that reduced sleep, but Hoyoung felt a sense of fulfillment within it.

“Now then, shall we test it in earnest?”

“great. Tae-Kyung-ah, can you tell me about the prepared in-house broadcasting frame?”

“yes.”

While Song Tae-gyeong made a call to the company’s computer room, Jin-taek made sure the preparations for the test were properly done.

“Now, is the server normal?”

“yes. Enough to accommodate the traffic.”

“Do you have internet access?”

“The connection status is normal and the speed is coming out as normal.”

Kim Jin-taek smiled with satisfaction.

At that time, an internal broadcast came on.

[The legend of the wind. Let’s start the 1st connection test. All H&H employees, please run the Legend of Wind client.]

Loud noises were heard from nearby offices.

Most of H&H’s employees were young people who loved games and IT.

To them, the Legend of the Wind test was like a kind of event.

“All of you, except for the server team, are stuck in front of the computer.”

“Yep.”

All members of the game development team also ran Legend of the Wind on their respective computers.

“manager. I will open the server.”

“OK!”

“Three, two, one, open. The server is now open.”

Song Tae-kyung, who was watching the situation, informed me of the current situation through a phone call that hadn’t hung up yet.

[Connection possible. Please log in.]

As soon as the broadcast came out, all H&H employees connected to the legend of the wind.

Watching the members of the development team succeed in accessing the game one by one, Kim Jin-taek watched the situation for a moment.

“Chief, the number of concurrent users has exceeded 100. It continues to rise rapidly.”

Currently, H&H has about 400 employees.

About 300 people decided to participate in the test today.

“So far, no problem. Over 200 people. We have surpassed 300.”

“It was good.”

Kim Jin-taek clenched his fists.

Although it is only a test of about 300 people, and only those who belong to a local network, it is encouraging that it went as expected.

“senior. congratulations.”

“not. It’s really thanks to you. It is also the result of the hard work of our entire team.”

Hoyoung also expressed his sincere joy.

In the screen, many characters wearing only white T-shirts were walking around.

First of all, the small test was successful.

“What is the beta schedule like?”

“Now, the final maintenance will be done, and there will be a first closed beta next week. The first closed beta is only going to accept 3,000 people. And the next schedule is to report the results of the closed beta.”

“Good idea. From now on, bugs and errors will probably come pouring in from unexpected places. It would be better to accept the opinions of users and officially release a high-quality game.”

“okay. Thank you.”

It was the birth of Korea’s first MMORPG.

MMORPGs will become the mainstream of online games for the next decade and a few years, and it was refreshing to think that I was seeing the beginning of that trend.

“This, the nationwide Internet service should be started as soon as possible.”

“okay. They say it will be serviced soon?”

“yes. We will start nationwide service in about two weeks.”

“good night. By then, the closed beta will be in full swing. From the second closed beta, it can be implemented nationwide.”

“I will provide a stable and perfect service. Seniors, please test well in the future.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Kim Jin-taek again focused on the Legend of the Wind test situation.

Hoyoung also watched the test for a while and then secretly got out of the development team 1.

“The legend of the wind is over for now… Senior Jin-chan?”

Ho-yeong, who was stretching out of the development team 1 and walking in the hallway, found Lee Jin-chan walking at the end of the hallway.

“Are you going to the development team 1 to see the test situation of seniors?”

“okay. boy. Are you going to go straight away?”

“ha ha ha. Because Legend of the Wind was successfully implemented. Even if I were in this situation, there was nothing I could do.”

“To say the least, your company is going crazy right now, isn’t it? Jujeong looked very busy.”

Hoyoung nodded slightly.

“Right. So I think I should go as soon as possible.”

“i get it. Hurry up and go to work.”

“yes. see you next time. senior.”

“By the way, Hoyeong-ah…”

Lee Jin-chan was speechless and paused for a moment.

Hoyoung looked at Lee Jinchan for a moment, wondering what he was going to say.

“Have you been more hectic for a week?”

“sure. In development, it is always war.”

“okay. You always look the fiercest when developing, and that was the best time to see you.”

“yes?”

Lee Jin-chan grinned and patted Ho-yeong on the shoulder as he asked back with a bewildered expression.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. I don’t have any intention of asking why I’m running like that, but I can take a break whenever I’m tired. Well, isn’t developing for you a break soon?”

Lee Jin-chan cleared his throat a few times as if he was a little embarrassed by what he said.

“senior…”

“Anyway, thank you for this week. Go ahead.”

“yes. thanks.”

Hoyoung felt a warm feeling in his heart and went back to Hermes.

The reason Lee Jin-chan kept Ho-young on the development team for a week wasn’t really because of the legend of the wind.

The legend of the wind would have been impossible in a week, but it was a task that could be completed in about a month with just one member of the current development team.

However, after Hoyoung established Hermes, Lee Jin-chan, who had been watching that he was not developing properly, gave him time to clear his head by focusing only on development.

In addition, it was his consideration that he obediently handed over Kim Joo-jung, who was doing a good job at H&H.

“Whoops. I’ll have to pay this back to my seniors later.”

Hoyoung smiled happily thinking of Lee Jinchan.

.

.

.

Wednesday evening.

Hoyoung was waiting for someone on the streets of Euljiro.

“Yoon Ho-young?”

Hearing someone calling Hoyeong, Hoyeong turned around to see a skinny man with a slightly stooped posture standing there.

“Are you Manager Park Byung-yoon?”

“you’re right. That’s Yun Ho-young.”

skinny man. Park Byeong-yoon smiled kindly.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting. Do you always come here by bus, forgetting that there are traffic jams? I should have taken the subway.”

“it’s okay. I haven’t been here in a while.”

“haha. Shall we go then?”

Park Byeong-yoon took the lead and walked along.

Hoyeong thought that a thin person walking at such a fast pace was like a scarecrow walking.

“Is this alley… That’s right here.”

Park Byeong-yoon, who was snooping down an alley in Euljiro 3-ga, entered a shop in a shady place between the alleys, and Ho-young followed him.

“You haven’t been here, have you? The buckwheat noodles here are really good. Did you bring a car? I would like to have a drink of makgeolli.”

“yes. Makgeolli is good.”

Park Byeong-yoon skillfully ordered two bowls of makguksu and a bottle of makgeolli.

Hoyoung looked at him curiously.

Ho-yeong said he would make a reservation at a Korean restaurant in Gwanghwamun, but Park Byung-yoon insisted on coming here to eat.

“Boss. I’m living here, so would you like makguksu?”

“What about Makguksu? Oh, a limited meal? Hey, look at my body. It’s not good to have dozens of dishes lined up. can’t even eat it all I’d rather eat a bowl of something delicious.”

Hoyeong didn’t dislike Park Byung-yoon, who spoke lightly.

After a while, the makguksu and makgeolli we ordered came out.

Ho-yeong’s plan to talk about investment and technology development related to semiconductors over a meal ended up in vain.

Park Byeong-yoon finished a bowl of makguksu and makgeolli very deliciously without saying a word.

He didn’t say a word while eating Makguksu.

Hoyoung had no choice but to eat quietly.

“Five···.”

Hoyoung let out an exclamation involuntarily.

Seeing Hoyoung like that, Byungyoon Park giggled.

“Look. It’s very delicious, right?”

“It is really delicious. Chowon Makguksu? I need to remember.”

Hoyeong’s sincere words made Park Byung-yoon smile, wondering what made him feel so good.

“You seem to have a lot to talk about. Shall we eat all of this and then go to the whole house and talk about it?”

“good.”

Hoyeong and Park Byeongjin, who enjoyed the delicious makguksu, moved to a restaurant near Jongno 5-ga.

“I’m sorry about that. In fact, there was an instruction from the boss not to talk to people who only talk about business without paying attention to personal relationships.”

“no. Thanks to you, I’m really happy to know a restaurant that sells delicious makguksu.”

At Hoyoung’s answer, Park Byeongjin smiled and drank the makgeolli he ordered.

“Then shall we get to the point?”

“yes. It’s good.”

Hoyoung also answered and emptied the glass of makgeolli.

“Why did you want to meet my husband so much? What do you want to say?”

“I would like to make one request and another suggestion.”

“What kind of requests and suggestions?”

Hoyoung smiled lightly.

“Before I tell you, there is just one thing to check.”

“What is it?”

Hoyoung poured makgeolli into a glass, drank it in one gulp, and continued.

“Prestige Semiconductor. Wouldn’t you like to catch it?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Korea’s first semiconductor company is Anam, not Myeongseong. If such a man had a chance to rise to fame, would he seize it?”

Park Byung-jin’s pupils visibly shook.
