As soon as Kim Cheol-soo went to work in the morning, he opened his mailbox.
And then I found an unexpected email.
It was an email from Catherine.
– Larry and Andy are seeing each other often these days.
It seems like we’re quite in sync. But I’m worried.
Larry tries to put Andy under his feet.
But Andy is not a person who should work under anyone.
Because he is a very free-spirited person and only wants to do what he wants.
Although the vision they present is superior,
I think Andy would be happier in an independent company like now.
And I think I can do this for a long time.
I like the current relationship between Hanyoung Group and our company best.
So I hope there is progress on that front.
I heard a story from Andy the other day,
I used as many of my connections as I could to find out about a man named Jim Keller.
Kim Cheol-soo immediately wrote a reply to Catherine in response to the unexpected material.
– thank you. Catherine. We will definitely solve this difficult problem, and Android will become a company that attracts attention in the world on its own. And you will walk the path to glory with us. I will make good use of the materials you sent me.
After replying, I opened the attached file she sent.
I couldn’t find any information by surfing the Internet. All I could find was Jim Keller’s biography or his papers, but it seemed like an alien language that Kim Cheol-soo, who knew nothing about technology, could understand.
There is a saying in kendo:
– Observe, not observe.
In a kendo match, people hold their swords together and then attack the opponent when the sword falls. It was a sport where the person who was good at predicting how the opponent would move won.
It is said that juniors look at the opponent’s feet, but experts look at the opponent’s overall and subtle movements.
This is where the words came from.
Likewise, the world of business is the same.
Negotiating with information that everyone knew was a poor skill, obtaining information that everyone could not know was a skill, and being able to find out the other party’s true desires based on that information was a skill.
And the Catherine that Kim Cheol-soo experienced was a person with quite excellent managerial qualities.
The information she sent was exactly what I needed.
Cheolsu Kim carefully read the attached file she sent and began to summarize what he had found.
I had to get busy to attend the meeting starting at 10 o’clock.
**
“Are you going to get emotional with James? He seems to be thinking about something wrong. He is a colder and more rational person than you might think. “I think he definitely said that.”
Jo Yoon-jeong asked Lee Jun-hak back with a displeased expression.
“But didn’t the team leader say that he didn’t talk to that person for more than 10 minutes a day?”
“Isn’t it natural that we are both busy?”
“We talk like this for over an hour every day, but I don’t think we know each other very well. “How much can you learn about someone through a 10-minute conversation a day?”
Although he was a rugged-looking person, Jo Yoon-jeong pouted his lips at the logic that could not be refuted.
“I lived with that person for 12 years.”
Lee Jun-hak didn’t push it any further.
“Of course, this is not a story that applies to many cultures. Korean fathers have unique tendencies.”
“So?”
“People who work in business really hate going out on the weekends.”
Kim Cheol-soo also nodded reflexively as if he agreed.
After running around all day at work, I desperately needed some quiet time to rest.
“Dads who are successful at work get angry easily at home. “Dads who are terrible at work often hear good things about being good dads at home.”
“What does it mean?”
“Dads who do poorly at work have a need for recognition. The goal is to find that desire at home. On the other hand, fathers who are successful at work have all their needs met, so there is no reason to worry so much about housework.”
“Is it Eastern thought?”
“It’s an experience.”
“Does Deputy Director Lee get angry easily at home?”
At those words, Park Hae-seong, who was next to him, chuckled.
Lee Jun-hak was embarrassed for a moment while stroking the back of his head.
It was a statement acknowledging his work ability, but it was also a statement that broke his own logic.
“that is···.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth.
“There are always exceptions. manager. If he acts cool and rational at home, he may be emotional in other situations. “I don’t think Deputy Director Lee’s approach is bad.”
Jo Yoon-jeong just looked at Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo in silence as they told a story she had never thought about.
Actually, I’ve never heard or asked him how he does his work.
Because we were both busy with work and tired of raising children.
We rarely talked to each other about work.
As we talked like this, I realized how indifferent I had been to James.
“okay. Now that I think about it, I guess I don’t know everything about James. Okay, let’s go with that approach for now. “If you fail, you can just use another method.”
At those words, the entire team looked at Jo Yoon-jeong.
He was a person who did not attach much importance to failure.
He was a person who was completely different from other bosses who questioned who was responsible for failure.
“Next is Manager Kim Cheol-soo. “Has there been any investigation into a man named Jim Keller?”
“He is a very interesting person.”
“You say it’s fun? “It gets interesting.”

Kim Cheol-soo made it in a hurry, but as expected, he put a perfect reporter on the screen without any typos.
“To sum up, he is an ambitious person, a freelancer, a genius and a timid ordinary person.”
“You’re a pretty mixed-up person, aren’t you?”
Jo Yoon-jeong asked while scanning the content on the screen.
“yes. First of all, I moved to many companies. DEC, AMD, Sibyte, BraodCom, PaloAlto Semi. etc. “Every time I moved, my salary jumped significantly.”
“You like money?”
“That said, when Sibyte was acquired by BroadCom, my salary actually went down.”
“But I didn’t leave the company.”
“Because I got the rank of senior developer there, and I got the rank of vice president where I am now.”
“You like both money and power?”
“As a developer, he has the best skills in the world, but as a manager, he seems to be bragging to his close friends that he is below average.”
“What does that mean?”
“It seemed like he was dissatisfied with the fact that other famous IT developers had created companies and were thriving, but he was not good at it.”
From Kim Cheol-soo’s explanation, I got a rough idea of what kind of person Jo Yoon-jeong was.
“I’ll have to meet him in person and confirm, but it looks like it will take quite a lot of money to attract this person in competition with Apple.”
Although the exact nature of the money was not explained, Jo Yoon-jeong was lost in thought, tapping her fingers on the desk as if she had figured it out.
“He is the world’s best CPU design engineer. What would take 3 to 4 years if you hire a low-level engineer can be shortened by 1 to 2 years if you hire that person. He sings as many times as he can. Let’s try to find resources somehow. The research was done quite well. “Who gave you that information?”
“Sent from Android.”
“I heard there is a lot of discussion going on with Google. I guess Manager Kim’s side is there as well?”
“yes. “He is a very good ally.”
The meeting continued for another 50 minutes, and Jo Yoon-jeong looked at her team members with a satisfied expression and said,
“all right. First of all, let’s set this direction and get started right away. “I hope to hear good news.”
She immediately turned around to leave the conference room.
“They say that in Korea, if you think something is going well, you have a company dinner. “Employee Park Dong-gyu.”
“yes. manager.”
“Do you want to eat something?
“yes. manager. I’ll set up a restaurant for dinner tonight. But how much does it cost?”
“The price? “Don’t worry about that, just catch it.”
Jo Yoon-jeong said that and left the conference room.
“Hey. Don’t worry about the price. It’s big. “I guess you don’t plan on swiping it with a corporate card that has a limited amount?”
When Park Hae-seong spoke while looking at Lee Jun-hak, Lee Jun-hak also nodded.
“I thought he was a bit harsh, but after working with him, I found out he was a really nice person. “He’s very cool, passionate about his work, and doesn’t mind talking about his ex-husband.”
“He is truly a charismatic person. So what should we have for dinner tonight?”
Park Dong-gyu quickly answered.
“of course! “It’s Korean beef.”
“Did you want to eat? “Is it because it’s expensive that you can’t eat it?”
“Both.”
“Chief Kim is okay too, right?”
Kim Cheol-soo thought of Jo Yoon-jeong, who had already left the conference room.
Before coming here, Kim Cheol-soo had only worked as a deputy manager.
I didn’t know what to do and what to do when I became an executive.
So, I was closely observing the executives around me.
There were many bad stories, but Jo Yoon-jung was now trusted by her teammates.
It was said that there was a lot to learn.
Kim Cheol-soo looked at Lee Jun-hak and nodded.
“Is there anything like Korean beef in the world?”
Did they change places?
“I like my sister-in-law the best in the world!!!”
Youngsu, who received a bunch of gift packages, looked like he was dying of joy.
Since we visited our father, we came here to have lunch at Hye-na’s suggestion that we should visit our mother this time.
She wanted to prepare by herself, but Jinsook Yoon seemed to have difficulty sitting still so she went out to the kitchen and moved around.
In the kitchen, Yoon Jin-sook and Choi Hye-na were bustling around, and Kim Cheol-su was chatting with Yeong-su while peeling garlic and chestnuts and other things.
“Are you going to America again? Envy you!”
Youngsu looked at Kim Cheolsu as if he were envious.
“The college entrance exam is only in 5 months, right? “Just be patient.”
“Aww, I hope it comes quickly.”
“Are you confident about the test?”
“of course. “I’ve never fallen below 10th place in the country after taking a mock exam.”
“Hey, I’m ranked 10th in the country among regular high schools. “Aren’t the expectations raised at school a joke?”
“I’m so happy that for the first time in three years, someone from our school is going to Seoul National University.”
“Have you completely decided on your career path? “As a doctor?”
“huh!”
After Yeongsu answered, he scurried into his room and brought out the laptop that Cheolsu had left to him.
Youngsu opened his laptop, launched the HTS program, and spoke proudly.
“Look at this.”
Cheolsu looked at the screen and exclaimed.
“Wow. “Is the amount I see correct?”
It used to be about 200,000 won, but now it has increased to nearly 10 million won.
“My pocket money went up a bit? So, I invested in stocks that gave me pocket money.”
“Hey. “Our young man is rich?”
“Are you just going to do it?”
“I should be a stock trader instead of a doctor, right?”
“I’m a doctor and I also work in stocks.”
“I have a lot of greed.”
“lol.”
“What do you do with that money?”
“I’m planning to go on a trip after the college entrance exam.”
Kim Cheol-su remembered that Yeong-su had previously said that he was raising funds to go on a backpacking trip.
“Backpacking?”
“huh.”
“europe?”
“hmm···. no.”
“USA?”
“But no. Africa.”
Youngsu looked toward the kitchen and spoke quietly.
“And it’s a secret I’m only telling my brother, but I’m going with my girlfriend.”
“What kind of person are you?”
“A person like me who lost one parent. Maybe that’s why we communicate well and understand each other well. She’s going to become a nurse. I’m a doctor, she’s a nurse! “It will suit you really well, right?”
Only then did Kim Cheol-su think of Kim Hak-dong.
It seemed like they had been in a relationship for quite some time, which is unusual for an age where people get bored with each other easily and are looking for new stimulation.
“We’ll have to wait and see about that. “Because we cannot know a person’s future.”
“I thought your brother would say something like that.”
“But why Africa? “Isn’t it dangerous there?”
“To become a real doctor.”
“uh?”
“My brother said that to me. Just hold the weight. ‘You should become a great doctor.’ “I thought it was a 50-year-old guy talking?”
“what! ha ha ha.”
Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter.
“I think I could go to Doctors Without Borders as an assistant volunteer. So I wanted to see with my own eyes how real doctors around the world treat people.”
Kim Cheol-soo stroked Young-su’s head, who was now as tall as himself.
Before returning to the past, Youngsu’s grades were not as good as they are now.
It seemed like it was because of my family’s financial circumstances and an environment where I could study to my heart’s content without worrying about anything else.
“When did this chestnut grow so big? But, if your mother finds out, will she make a fuss?”
“So, it’s a secret I only tell my brother. “If I die in Africa…”
Kim Cheol-soo turned the hand he was stroking into a fist and fed it honey chestnuts.
“Stop talking bullshit. “She needs to think hard with her smart brain and think about coming back unharmed.”
“Oh sir. brother! “Honey chestnut really hurts!”
“Because of your great ambitions, I will keep it a secret from your mother, but please write a report on how to act when faced with a crisis.”
“Oh sir. “I’m a senior in high school!”
“You said the test was easy? men and horses. “If you don’t give me that before I go on a trip, I’m going to tell everything to my mom.”
“I said it for no reason!”
“If I think you are well prepared, I will provide you with more travel expenses.”
Youngsu quickly became obedient to Cheolsu’s words.
“All right. older brother!”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled at his quite dignified voice.
And soon I heard Hye-na calling from the kitchen.
“Cheolsu, have you chopped all the garlic?”
“uh! Almost there. “I’ll take it quickly.”
