With the Time Shop, I Too Am the Greatest Conglomerate of All Time

Episode 30. Hongin Media.(2)

After hesitating for a moment, Manager Jung asked.

“Do you really think I can do that?”

“Of course, I am not saying that Manager Jeong should do it alone. I will show you the vision. Just do your best to follow along. If you follow along until the end, Hongin Media will become an influential company that no one can ignore.”

On that day, Hongin Media changed to the representative system of Oh-Chan Jung.

I asked him to do two projects first.

One was the P-store project, an online store platform that allows you to download MP3 music directly by connecting the P-32 to a PC.

The other was a tablet PC OS (operating system) development project I was thinking about.

In the early 2000’s, Apple’s Apple’s A-Pod, which caused a sensation in the MP3 player world, became a huge profit in itself.

An online store called Atunes linked to this made Apple the number one player in the digital music market.

In Korea, the Internet is not yet active, so it was difficult to apply the system for downloading music directly online.

In the United States, the Internet has been very active since the appearance of a prominent web browser called Netscape in 1995.

So I decided to apply the idea to my P-32.

The number of P-32s going from high-cast to best-selling has already exceeded 30,000 units per month.

If you include those sold last year, more than 100,000 were released in the US market.

That meant we already had 100,000 potential customers.

As long as they opened a P store in the US, they could earn additional revenue.

The P store project was easily convincing even for President Jung.

Because it wasn’t a difficult system to make.

However, when he ordered the development of the tablet PC OS, the second project, President Jung made a difficult expression.

“OS? The OS is not something that a small company like this can make. It’s so much work that you can’t tell how long it will take if dozens of people stick to the kernel, middleware, and interfaces.”

It may not be that Jung’s words are wrong.

In any field, there are geniuses who can do things that dozens of ordinary people cannot do.

I knew one such genius.

“I know one genius who makes OS well. I’ll bring that person, so take a look, and if you think it’s still difficult, tell me again.”

end of January.

Rider Touchscreen Lab.

The corner of Chae’s mouth was raised and not coming down, so he inquired.

“Chief Chae. Do you think something good is happening?”

“Does it look like that?”

Anyone can see it.

“haha. Actually, this time, my daughter got accepted to Seoul National University.”

It seems that Sang-a finally passed Seoul National University.

“Wow. Congratulations. It would be nice to have such a smart daughter.”

“Iknow, right. I don’t know how lucky I am to have such an undeserved child born as my daughter. haha.”

“Today, hurry up and spend time with your daughter.”

“Hmmmm. I didn’t think so though. right. Director Kang is also entering college this year. Where did you write your application?”

“yes. I also applied to Seoul National University and luckily passed. Maybe I will meet my daughter at school.”

“It’s not that lucky. No matter how much Seoul National University is, does it make sense that the perfect score on the SAT is low?”

“is that so? Whoops.”

“Where are you?”

“I am in the electrical engineering department.”

“My daughter is in computer science.”

“It’s a pity it’s not the same class. I also wanted to say hello to that genius daughter.”

Just in case, I secretly spilled a word, and there was a response.

“Then, would you like to have dinner together at my house tonight? After all, Isa Kang and my daughter are students in the same school, so it’s good to get to know each other.”

I was peeking at the timing to approach Sang-a naturally.

Now I have a chance.

“It would be nice if you could invite me. Are you really okay? I thought that on a day like today, you should spend time with your family.”

CEO Chae waved his hand.

“haha. no. Neither my family nor ivory are so shy, so it’s okay.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t decline. Whoops.”

That day, I quickly finished work and headed to the boss’s house.

It was a 20-story luxury apartment, and the top floor was used as a duplex.

As soon as I entered the front door, I was greeted with an interior that was not flashy, but had an overall elegant feel.

Sang-a’s mother welcomed us.

“Oh. Director Kang that this person works with?”

He greeted me with a basket of fruits prepared in advance.

“Hello, madam. My name is Jae-Woon Kang.”

“yes. But what did you buy all this for? You can just come.”

“Still, this is my first time coming, can I come empty-handed? haha.”

“Then, I will eat well. Come on in.”

While Sang-Ah’s mother finished preparing dinner, she and Chae sat down with the table over the table.

“Your mother is a beauty. If your daughter resembles your wife, you must be quite beautiful, right?”

“haha. Fortunately, my daughter doesn’t look like me, she resembles her householder. That’s why, when I was in school, there were a lot of boys who followed me like that. Some of them even chased me home, so it was quite difficult.”

“Until such a thing.. Still, it must be really good that your daughter is smart and even beautiful.”

“haha. The best thing I’ve ever done in my life was to give birth to ivory.”

Next to me, Sang-ah’s mother gave me a pint glass and passed by.

“You gave birth? I gave birth.”

“Hmmmm. Anyway, I half contributed.”

President Chae was scratching his chin with an embarrassed face, but as the door behind Chae opened, an ivory figure in a sweatshirt was revealed.

“Daddy, are you here? But who is in front…

bang!

A rustling sound began to be heard from inside the closed door, so strong that it was afraid it would break.

About five minutes later, Ivory in a yellow checkered dress came out of the room.

“Dad. Why is your luck here?”

“Fortune? Sang-ah, are you familiar with Director Kang?”

Sang-a opened her eyes in surprise.

“Is it Kang? Do you think the person who came from the company called Damoye that invested in your father’s company is lucky?”

“okay. Here, Director Kang is working as a representative of Damoye with her father. But are you really acquainted with Director Kang?”

“yes. You’re lucky to be lucky. She said hello a few times on her way to school and became quite friendly. We’ve known each other for nearly three years.”

At this point, I naturally joined the conversation.

“I was surprised too. I hope that CEO Chae is the father of Sang-Ah. There are all sorts of coincidences.”

In fact, it is a situation made by a gift.

CEO Chae was also surprised, so he looked at Sang-a and I and smiled while looking at each other’s faces.

“haha. It seems that our relationship is a relationship. Did you know that your daughter and Isa Kang used to know each other? She’s fine. In the future, we can help each other if we have a difficult time while going to school and get along well.”

At the same time, dinner was prepared and the meal began in a friendly atmosphere.

While we were talking about these and other trivial things, we secretly brought up the OS (Operating System) story.

“We, Damoye, acquired a software production company called Hongin Media. I’m trying to make a proper OS for touch screens there, can I have some help with ivory?”

CEO Chae shook his head.

“I thought Sang-a was a genius before, so it seems that Director Kang expected it, but that’s unreasonable. Our Sang-Ah has a knack for programming, but that probably won’t work at a pro level.”

mister.

There are very few pros who can build an OS on their own.

“Still, Sang-Ah is familiar with touch screens, so can we help? Most people at Hongin Media don’t even know what a touch screen is.”

Sang-a, who was watching, opened her mouth.

“Dad. I want to do that.”

“you? Are you really okay?”

“yes. I also wonder how the pros work. I think it will be fun too. And the SA One OS used by my father’s company was too rough, so I wanted to make a proper OS.”

Are you right?

At Sang-Ah’s words, Chae finally nodded his head.

“Dad, I’m a little worried, but you can do it if you want.”

Ivory raised her cute fist.

“yes! Thanks Dad.”

“Still, shouldn’t it be enough to interfere with school studies?”

Thus, the acquisition of ivory was successfully completed.

After dinner.

Sang-a said she would see me off and left the house together.

“Did you get a job?”

“yes. how come At first, it started like a part-time job, but as the company grew, I ended up getting a job.”

“You are great. Did you study while working?”

“It’s great, you’re even better. A high school student makes an OS by himself. I never imagined you could be that talented.”

Sang-a looked embarrassed at my praise.

“Since I was a child, I liked computers and touched them often, so that’s what happened. A girl’s hobby is computer coding. Isn’t it a bit special? So I didn’t tell anyone. I just got you.”

“Not at all. rather cool What does it matter whether you’re a woman or a man? I’m so good at coding. I don’t think you need to hide your hobby.”

Sang-a laughed bashfully.

“okay? It’s good that you are lucky enough to say that.”

I held out my hand and said.

“So, I wish you all the best.”

Chae Sang-ah, a future smartphone developer.

Ivory also grabbed my hand.

“yes. I wish you well too.”

He took Sang-a to Hongin Media and introduced him to CEO Oh-chan Jung.

“Chief Jung. This is the genius programmer I was talking about. Let’s talk once and then we’ll talk again.”

Sang-a greeted President Jung.

“hello. My name is Chae Sang-ah.”

“..you look pretty young, are you old?”

“I’m the same age as Jaewoon here. Twenty this year.”

After a moment’s hesitation, President Jung said to me.

“Skill isn’t necessarily proportional to age, but it takes a lot of experience to be good at coding. The person who brought it may be a genius, but I’m worried that it’s at a level that can be applied to the field.”

“Just talk once. I am not forcing myself to do it, so if President Jung thinks it is not enough, I will give up the tablet PC OS project.”

“All right. Then, I will have a meeting with Miss Chae and I will tell you again.”

President Jung left the conference room with a half-passed face.

“Director. Where did you find this monster?”

“A monster?”

“Oh, I made a mistake. ‘Cause it’s so absurd Knowledge of programming languages, coding sense, and even creativity. To be honest, I was pretty confident in my skills, but I can’t compete with Miss Sang-Ah. How could you be at that age…”

“Fufu. How are you? Will it be difficult to develop a tablet PC OS even if Sang-Ah joins?”

“Whoa. I was going to tell you that I can’t do it, but after seeing the skills of the ivory sheep, I can’t. Let’s try it.”

“good. Then, Sang-Ah is the first to work with people, so please coordinate well in the middle and treat the position as a manager.”

As a result, all obstacles to the development of the tablet PC OS have been removed.

Now all that remains is to wait for the fruit to open.
