The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

98. graduate

Harper returns to the United States with satisfactory results, and Ho-young thinks that the meeting with Jensen Hwang should proceed slowly.

At first glance, it might seem that Hoyoung got less out of this conversation with AMD than with other companies, but that wasn’t the case.

‘The $50 million loan will come back with interest anyway.’

At the time, the benchmark interest rate in the US was only 6%.

Hoyoung suggested half of the base rate, so it ended up being 3% per year.

At first glance, it is really small, but thanks to the enormous amount of loan of 50 million dollars, the annual interest income reached 1.5 million dollars.

‘And most importantly, being able to have a relationship with Jensen Huang.’

Jensen Huang was known for being extremely cautious.

As an animal, it was likened to a raccoon.

Although he was called ‘Hwang Tong-soo’ in the future and showed an unreliable aspect, I thought he was trustworthy to work with because he showed tremendous ability in business and management.

Anyway, I thought that it would be okay if Huang Jensen didn’t give me the strength to attack him with a tight contract.

In Hoyoung’s eyes, it seemed that he could see the huge IT empire he would later build.

Time passed quickly and the year 1991 passed by in a blink of an eye.

In the meantime, Hoyoung has been busy with no time to open his eyes.

To summarize only the big events, first of all, both CDMA wireless communication and ADSL wired communication provided by Hermes Telecom literally hit the jackpot.

Within six months of starting the service, 3 million mobile phone lines and 2 million Internet lines were opened in Korea alone, earning a lot of cash every month.

The legend of the wind was on the way to success, creating a huge craze among students, and ‘Lines’, which Kim Jin-taek had so insisted on, safely purchased the copyright and went into full-scale production.

It was an unfunny happening that Song Gyeong-tae, who was a legend of the wind, joined the development of Linez, even threatening to resign if he was not sent to Linez.

And Chronos 2 was in full swing with the goal of launching in the first half of next year.

“ruler! It was really hard to come. Let’s all do our best next year and make better results than this year. For one day, forget everything and enjoy the food and drinks we prepared. And all the staff. Tomorrow is a day off!”

“Wow!!”

When Lee Jin-chan spoke into the microphone on the podium, a thousand or so people shouted in unison.

Today was a joint year-end party for H&H, Hermes, Gate, and Pantech.

“This is also really spectacular, spectacular. Hoyoung, how did you come up with all these thoughts?”

“At the end of the year, there are a lot of drinking parties at this or that gathering. So, if there was a meeting at the company, the intention was to solve it all in one day.”

“Awesome, great. I didn’t entrust you with a year-end party.”

Lee Jin-chan stuck out his tongue, and Ho-young laughed giggling at the funny expression.

“No, but I think it was too much. Thinking of renting the entire gymnastics arena? No matter how you think about it, it’s really great.”

“Thanks for the compliments.”

Hoyoung stuck out his tongue and said, while Lee Jinchan shook his head.

They are at the Jamsil Gymnastics Stadium.

The reason more than a thousand people gathered here was because of the year-end party planned by Hoyoung.

This was the result of leaving the plan to Ho-young because Ho-young had a wonderful idea for the year-end party.

“Gosh. If I do this, I will not die in my name. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to prepare this because you planned it and let everyone know? I don’t know how many bottles of alcohol I bought for 1,000 people at the business trip buffet. Huh… No, if you can’t return it anyway, you should think positively. How comfortable it is to finish it together.”

“Right?”

Lee Jin-chan looked at Ho-young for a while as he answered sarcastically, then said as if he had made up his mind on something.

“I can’t live like this because it’s unfair. Try it yourself too.”

Lee Jin-chan spat out his words and jumped up onto the podium.

“Are you guys having fun?”

“Yes!”

The staff were quite pleasant.

Even in their lives, they had never experienced such a large-scale party, so they enjoyed it thinking that they were having a new experience.

Besides, what office worker wouldn’t be excited when they said they would give you a vacation tomorrow?

“ruler. Director Hoyoung Yoon, who planned this event to boost your excitement, said he would sing a song. I hope everyone will cheer for Director Yun Ho-young with a big round of applause!”

“Sir, when will I go!”

Lee Jin-chan came down the podium laughing to the point of tears and pushed Ho-young onto the podium.

“Yun Ho-young! Yun Ho-young! Yun Ho-young!”

All the staff looked at the podium and focused their attention on Hoyoung while chanting Hoyeong’s name.

‘Is this the drinking culture of the early 90’s?’

Hoyeong thought to herself that she had been caught in her trick.

“Ha… I see. I know.”

As Hoyeong calmed the staff down, the calling of Hoyoung’s name gradually diminished and stopped.

“I will start with what I said before that. Over the past year, we have made remarkable progress. I think this progress is all thanks to all of you who did your best in your position.”

Hoyeong looked around the crowd.

Although he was forced to come up, it was actually Hoyoung who wanted to thank the staff more than anyone else.

Hoyoung felt a tearful feeling as he looked at the thousand pairs of eyes looking at him.

“Thank you very much. Please take good care of us next year as you did this year.”

When Hoyoung bowed his head and greeted him, the staff cheered Hoyoung with a thunderous reception.

Hoyoung felt his heart grow hot and tried to say one more word.

“and…”

But he couldn’t speak any more.

“Sing! sing! sing!”

People were now encouraging Hoyeong to sing.

Hoyeong was initially taken aback, but then calmed down and calmed the people down.

“All right. Huh… I can’t help it. It’s not a good song, but I’ll give you a thank you and let’s play a joke.”

Hoyeong glanced at Lee Jinchan.

Lee Jin-chan was smiling as if he were about to slit.

There was no such thing as MR in this era.

Hoyoung took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“Dreams sleep in the sky~”

When Hoyeong started singing, everyone listened to the song as if holding their breath at first.

It’s not a very good song, but Hoyoung seemed to have sincerity in his trembling voice.

“Memories flow along the clouds~”

Hoyoung considered everyone here as a friend.

Hoyoung knew better than anyone else that he would never have been able to come this far without them.

Thinking that the company that started with only 5 people at the first computer research group has already grown to this extent, Ho-young was already deeply moved.

“My friend, where have you gone?”

At that time, one person started to follow the song, and more and more people followed the song.

And in the end, everyone in the gym sang with Hoyoung in one voice.’

Hoyoung thought again, crying.

‘okay. You can never be satisfied with this. With everyone here, the possibilities for development are endless.’

Hoyoung subtly stopped singing, but the people didn’t care and sang with their arms around each other.

It may be a bit cheesy scene, but Hoyoung thought it was a scene that properly showed the company’s bond.

“My friend, where have you gone, dear friend?”

the song is finished

People also looked at each other with warm eyes to see if they were feeling anything.

‘okay. If it grows like this for a few more years, it’s not impossible to catch Myeongseong Electronics.’

Talented employees who have a strong bond with each other.

Looking back at them, Hoyoung was able to gain some certainty.

That night went deep, and it was a night where everyone could forget everything and enjoy themselves.

1992 was bright.

Since the year-end party was held so grandly that it could not be found anywhere else, the kick-off ceremony was concluded in a modest way, and February approached.

Hoyoung waited for February this year more than ever.

It is because there is a graduation ceremony that has been waiting for.

“ruler. take a picture Kimchi!”

Hoyeong wearing a school cap took a picture with her parents on both sides.

“Director. You really worked hard.”

Miru also handed the bouquet to Hoyoung and said, knowing when it was ready.

“Iknow, right. I usually don’t say that I worked hard, but it seems like you worked really hard to get this diploma.”

“It deserves it. It must have been difficult for me to work at the company and often go on business trips to the United States while continuing my studies at the same time. It was possible because everyone was at the level of director, but if it were me, I would have hit the school long ago.”

“haha. It’s overrated. It was possible because the director really helped me. Half of the shares in this diploma are yours.”

Hoyoung smiled happily.

In fact, he had to study at the same time to keep his promise to his father, but it was not an easy task for him either.

Even though I applied for a job, I had to go to school for several hours two or three days a week,

Sometimes, when I had to go to the United States or Japan, and I was told to replace the classes I couldn’t take with homework, it was the number of days I stayed up all night writing a report.

But just today, seeing his father’s happy expression on his face, it felt like all Ho-yeong’s hard work had been rewarded.

“Look at the two of you. I’ll take a picture for you.”

Seeing Hoyeong chatting with Miru, her father said,

“no. I may not take a picture. Father is standing. I will take a picture for you.”

“done. Give me the camera.”

“Right. Thinking about it, manager, do you know that there are no pictures of us together? Come here, chief. no brother.”

When Hoyeong called Miru “brother”, Miru’s expression turned a little strange for a moment, then returned to normal.

“All right. thank you.”

When her father pressed the camera shutter, Miru smiled awkwardly.

It’s already been over a year since he lived at Hoyeong’s house, but he still felt awkward about this situation.

But he thought it wasn’t too bad.

No, rather, when I was with Hoyeong’s family, I could feel a part of my heart warming up.

The Miru and Hoyoung families returned their caps and gowns after taking several more pictures.

“ruler. Shall we go out to dinner together? how about ribs? I’ll buy it.” “It’s good that my son lives, but what kind of galbi is it on a day like today?”

“Mother, would you like something to eat?”

“Jjajangmyeon is the day of the graduation ceremony. Isn’t it?”

Father only nodded at Mother’s words, and Miru also agreed with Mother’s words.

“haha. Yes. Then we go to the Chinese restaurant. I will serve you with the finest course.”

“great. Do I have to have jajangmyeon instead?”

“sure.”

Hoyoung left Seoul University in a good mood.

After coming out of Seoul National University, I looked at the famous ‘Shah’ main gate for a while at the main gate.

In his previous life, he thought that school was just a process to go through.

But he felt grateful for the university he attended once more.

It is also the beginning of the direction Hoyoung is currently moving, and has made numerous personal connections.

Hoyoung turned around and walked away.

Behind him, the front door moved further and further away.

‘The university problem has been solved, and now there really is only one way left to move forward.’

Hoyoung smiled happily.

Go forward.

Because that was what he did, and what he does best.
