Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 143

June.

“The first problem that needs to be solved is the software that runs the smartphone.”

Youngjun Choi spoke up.

It was in front of a task force team organized with a small number of people.

The biggest problem was clear.

software.

As Youngjun Choi tapped the keyboard on his laptop, the presentation screen flipped.

“As a result of our research, we found that devices similar in concept to the smartphone we were imagining were already made in the United States.”

It was a mobile device that looked reminiscent of a game console.

“The name of this device, which was commercially sold in the United States in 2002, is . It is the world’s smallest portable computer that moves in a slide manner and is equipped with a QWERTY-type keypad. It was made by Danger, a mobile company, and according to tracking results, it is currently was acquired by Microsoft (MS).”

Lee Jun-hak raised his hand and asked a question.

“Doesn’t MS use an operating system called Windows?”

“Yes, that’s right. Before Danger was acquired by MS, it tried to run Sidekick through its own proprietary software called ‘HIPTOP’, but after it was acquired by MS, MS’s operating system was installed instead of that program.”

Park Hae-seong nodded.

“Because MS has a monopoly on the operating system. Perhaps it was a natural result.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Kim Cheol-soo also nodded and opened his mouth.

“Then what the managing director wants is the ‘HIPTOP’.”

“Yes. To be precise, we are bringing in the developer who developed this software. If the software was originally developed as a mobile operating system, the trial and error period will be significantly reduced.”

Lee Jun-hak opened his mouth with his eyes fixed on the screen.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go to America and investigate.”

“That’s right. In 1999, three people, Joe Britt, Matt Hudson, and Andy Rubin, left Microsoft and founded Danger. If you contact these three people, you will be able to hear about HIPTOP.”

“But didn’t you say earlier that Danger was acquired by Microsoft?”

Choi Youngjun nodded with a sad expression.

“you’re right.”

“Even if they were looking for a HIPTOP developer, would they really join hands with us? It’s MS?”

Hearing Park Hae-seong’s words, Choi Young-jun also sighed lightly.

“I think it will be very difficult, but if you give up because it’s hard, you won’t be able to do anything. We have gathered only the most talented people at Hanyoung Trading Company for this position. No one but you will be able to accomplish this task.”

After Choi Young-jun’s briefing, the four gathered separately and divided up the work.

“First of all, there needs to be someone in the United States who can contact them.”

Lee Jun-hak could not easily volunteer because he had to go to Singapore for his team work.

Hae-Seong Park is also assisting Young-Jun Choi as the team manager, and he cannot easily leave his position because he has to continue to assist with issues other than software.

The team members’ eyes naturally turned to Kim Cheol-soo.

Cheolsu Kim nodded.

“Yes. Then I will take charge of it.”

“If we come back from America, there will be a significant disruption to our team’s work. Is that okay?”

Kim Cheol-soo smiled and nodded.

“If you bring a laptop, you can do more than half of it. The team has great backup resources, so it’s no problem.”

Choi Young-jun actually wanted to entrust this plan to Kim Cheol-soo, who came up with it.

Because it seemed like he would do anything.

Because that’s what we’ve done.

“My financial situation is very tight.”

Andy Rubin founded Danger with like-minded colleagues.

He left Microsoft without regret after seeing that Microsoft’s operating system was installed on Sidekick instead of the HipTop software he had developed.

This was because no one had the will to develop software due to MS’s Windows series, which had already monopolized the market, and people were tired of seeing people only interested in Sidekick’s hardware.

Thinking that this kind of laziness in software development would soon be detrimental to consumers, I gathered like-minded colleagues and began developing a new operating system.

Although I hadn’t registered it as a business yet, I had a company called , and as expected, the problem was money.

No matter how much they talked about creating something new in the operating system market that had been encroached upon by Microsoft, finding investors was a tall order.

The bursting of the IT bubble in 2000 also played a role.

Because everyone thought he was a fraud.

However, Andy did not give up and made every effort to contact Samsung, and was finally able to secure a position.

Usually, the place where you want to hear the investment briefing covers the related expenses, but Samsung did not have such a procedure.

Originally, all eight people were going to come and hold an investment briefing session.

However, because there was no financial support from Samsung, only he and Catherine came at their own expense.

“If we don’t get investment here, it won’t be long before we go bankrupt.”

Catherine Andrew spoke in a somber voice as she reviewed her finances on her laptop.

“It’s going to be good. They recognized our value and that’s why they gave us this opportunity. It’s up to us to convince them.”

“That’s right. Persuasion is the problem. I think there’s definitely a problem with our business model.”

“Is that the story again?”

“There have always been conflicts when it comes to distributing operating systems for free. Andy, let’s think again.”

Andy shook his head at Catherine’s words.

“That completely defeats the reason we founded the company.”

“If you don’t fail, you can carry out your intentions or not!”

“You can give up on other things, but you can’t do that.”

“Ha! I’m frustrated. Damn it, why do I have to go through all this trouble because I’m in charge of finances?”

Catherine, who knew how stubborn Andy was, shook her head.

“If this fails and the company goes bankrupt, I will say goodbye to you forever.”

“Catherine!”

“…Okay. Okay, so prepare well for tomorrow’s business briefing session.”

**

The company that sells the most expensive cell phones in the world.

Andy and Catherine swallowed their saliva as they were overwhelmed in front of the huge building.

“I hope it goes well. A company like that would probably give me quite a bit of investment.”

“Let’s do our best.”

Andy and Catherine encouraged each other and entered the building.

When I followed the waiting staff into the conference room, I saw about 20 well-dressed executives in blue suits lined up along the wall.

Andy felt his throat tighten in the solemn atmosphere.

Andy automatically flinched when he glanced at himself wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

After a while.

When the division head in a black suit came in, the executives lined up sat down in unison as if they were in a script.

It was a huge culture shock for Andy, but he managed to overcome it and worked hard to present the material he had prepared in front of these scary people.

After Andy’s presentation was over, the general manager burst into laughter and said,

“Eight people? Hahaha!!!! I’m putting 2,000 people into that insignificant task.”

This wasn’t a compliment.

Andy’s expression suddenly distorted.

thank you so much

In the past, Kim Cheol-soo was a grain trader.

India exports wheat and South Africa exports corn.

When crops were bad and how supply and sales changed as each country’s policy or economic structure changed.

I had a thorough knowledge of these aspects.

However, he was almost illiterate in other fields.

There are many parts and teams within a general trading company, but most of them do not know much about anything other than their own responsibilities.

I wasn’t interested and didn’t have the time to do so.

Because I was so busy just doing my job.

If you work as an expatriate, you will be able to acquire knowledge in various fields because you will inevitably have to know other fields.

But in the past, Kim Cheol-soo didn’t even have that opportunity.

My capabilities were far lower than those of others joining the company, so I had no time to look elsewhere.

So I only dug grain.

Therefore, it would be accurate to say that the smartphone TF team work related to project organizing was actually unfamiliar to him.

“Joe Britt, Matt Hudson, Andy Rubin.”

Kim Cheol-soo didn’t even know who developed Android, other than that Apple’s iPhone and Android-based smartphones dominated the world.

Before starting work in earnest, he started by searching for data.

While Kim Cheol-soo was working immersed in fragments of fragmentary memories and vast amounts of data, Pyo Il-soo secretly took Lee Jun-hak with him and headed to Sky Park.

Even though the two passed right next to each other, Kim Cheol-soo did not notice and did not take his eyes off the monitor without making a movement.

“Isn’t Assistant Manager Kim amazing?”

As Pyo Il-soo lit the cigarette in his mouth, Lee Jun-hak tilted his head.

“what?”

“At that point, it’s worth being arrogant.”

“Oh, yes. Well, that’s right.”

Only then did Junhak Lee nod his head.

There aren’t many who were able to fly and crawl to the extent that they were famous even when they were new employees, but there were definitely some.

Most of the time, it just didn’t end well.

Receiving recognition from people and recognition from the company.

Most of them, who received higher salaries than their superiors and were treated as aces, usually became arrogant or arrogant.

As they became more and more lazy, it was common for them to resign or move to another company as if they were kicked out.

“I thought that time would come for that guy at least once, but looking at his work these days, it seems like he’s gone back to being a new employee.”

“I think it’s my first time experiencing that type of thing.”

“You’re the first, but I’m not the first. Because you were too.”

Lee Jun-hak grinned and took a drag on his cigarette.

“Did you ask me to smoke one to show you off?”

“Why are you doing this to a guy who’s doing so well?”

Lee Jun-hak laughed and exhaled cigarette smoke.

“Anyway, isn’t our manager strange?”

“What?”

“Did you see the news that the Shido Group and Volkswagen signed an agreement?”

“Oh, really? I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t been able to watch the news properly.”

“He came out yesterday. At this point, the manager should have gone crazy. Don’t you think he’s just been walking around with a smile on his face these days? He’s got pockets of laughter on both cheeks.”

Lee Jun-hak also nodded.

“Well, that’s true. It’s a bit strange.”

“There’s definitely something there.”

“Did you call me because you thought I might know something?”

“Well, whatever. Do you have any clues?”

Lee Jun-hak shook his head with an expression of complete ignorance.

“Wouldn’t it be quicker to ask the manager directly?”

“Wouldn’t I have asked?”

Pyo Il-soo continued to smoke his cigarette, and Lee Jun-hak thought for a moment and then spoke.

“Then I guess it’s not our company’s business.”

“okay?”

“It’s clear that something better happened than losing the plan.”

“What is that?”

“Oh my, Deputy Chief! How do I know? You have to find out things like that and let me know. I’m the manager now. The manager. The manager who works so hard.”

Pyo Il-soo laughed and exhaled cigarette smoke when he heard the words ‘a manager who works hard.’

“Speaking of the planning plan, seeing as no action was taken against Manager Oh, I guess it was Oh Dong-hoon’s doing?”

Lee Jun-hak also nodded as if he agreed.

“If there had been a problem with the manager’s personality, he would have definitely accepted his resignation, but since that wasn’t the case, it seems like it’s not Manager Oh.”

“Then who the hell are you?”

“well.”

Lee Jun-hak was also curious about that.

‘It’s clear that something better happened than having the plan taken away. ‘What is that?’
