Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 220

Just 20 minutes later.

Catherine stared blankly at Kim Cheol-soo, who was standing calmly with his mouth slightly open.

It was clear that he had a more detailed picture of the future than any other person I had ever met and talked to.

Even though they don’t understand most of what they say.

“··· Amazing!”

And it wasn’t just Catherine.

They were all smart and open-minded developers.

Perhaps thanks to Kim Cheol-soo’s easy-to-understand presentation, the faces of the 10 people, including Andy, were full of admiration and surprise.

Although Android claimed to be a free OS, the question of how to make money was dominating them.

Although development was now being carried out with the amount invested by the Hanyoung Group, it was not possible to continue receiving investment funds.

We had to create a business model and increase sales.

And Kim Cheol-soo explained the business model so perfectly.

Kim Cheol-soo put down the chalk and looked back at them.

Andy started clapping his hands, and the applause soon became contagious.

Cheers rang out from all over.

Kim Cheol-su just stood still with a humble expression.

That’s because he was just explaining the future he remembered and it wasn’t a concept he created.

“Meeting Kim definitely allowed us to take a leap forward. But I really didn’t expect that another future would be presented to us like this.”

“It’s really amazing! Even Larry had never thought of such a story! “It’s so crazy!”

Because it clearly pointed out the direction Android should take, there were no questions left.

“The fee we just talked about should be lower than Apple’s iTunes.”

“Isn’t that the music market?”

“If Apple isn’t stupid, they will definitely bring Android’s business model. They will try to sell everything they can, not just the music. And since they already have a system called iTunes, it may actually happen faster than ours.”

“That’s right. But it’s a closed place…”

“We should not ignore their brand value. Until we reach comparable design and engineering perfection, we will have to compete on scalability and price. SKY Teletech will also continue to think about that.”

Andy nodded, showing that he fully understood.

“by the way. “Wouldn’t Apple also gather developers through open source like we do?”

“Jobs is so greedy there’s no way he would do that. Because we will collect licensing fees from developers. “I don’t think you need to worry about that part.”

After Andy and Kim Cheol-soo’s conversation ended, Catherine looked into the eyes of her fellow developers one by one and spoke.

“This business model has a lot of potential. Without conflicting with the purpose for which we created Android. And with this model, there’s no need to join hands with Google or any other company, right? That we can become huge companies like Google or Apple. is not it?”

Larry didn’t just take care of Andy.

I was meeting with all the major developers and trying to persuade them to join Google’s hand.

Catherine also received an offer.

If the early members left for Google, Android was like an empty shell.

“I see. “It’s quite possible.”

“that’s right.”

Fellow developers nodded their heads in agreement.

Catherine, who gained confidence, looked at Andy and opened her mouth in a firm tone.

“Until now, no one has presented us with such a vision. “Is there anyone in the world who tells these stories purely for us without asking for consulting fees?”

“··· That’s right.”

“Kim is more than a colleague to us. Cutting off her relationship with the Korean-English general manager would be cutting off ties with Kim, and that’s absolutely not right!”

The concept of a digital content shop had significantly lower development difficulty compared to an OS.

Of course, experts in various fields were needed, but hiring them was enough.

As the number of users increased, operating profits beyond imagination would be generated just by a portion of the amount paid by people using the Android Store.

Kim Cheol-soo has already confirmed this part.

And Andy fully understood why Catherine spoke like that.

“First of all, this is possible under the premise that the project we are working on with the Hanyoung Group must succeed.”

Kim Cheol-soo answered calmly.

“of course. And we will definitely succeed.”

Andy didn’t think Kim Cheol-soo’s answer was just a bluff.

A small company in the East.

One employee there.

However, the stories he has told so far are ones that even renowned scholars have not been able to properly answer.

Above all, there were things he had shown so far.

Andy, who had been thinking for a while while wriggling his hands, suddenly picked up his cell phone and made a call to someone.

Then I turned up the volume to the maximum so that everyone in the office could hear.

– Uh, Larry.

– So, have you decided?

It was Larry’s voice.

– I’ve decided.

– okay. We would be better than that nameless company. Let’s create an OS that’s better than Android. Combining Google’s software will create tremendous synergy.

– no.

– huh?

– I will decline that offer.

– What, what?

– I contacted you to tell you that. For your information, if you want to install their software on our OS, you will have to come with very good conditions.

– What are you talking about? Andy! Andy!

– We’re having a party later, so you can come or not.

Andy said that and slammed his phone shut.

Catherine looked at Andy with a bright expression, and the developers gathered there also felt something uneasy stirring in their hearts.

They too have made up their minds.

If you don’t have Andy and Catherine, who are the main players in development, you will be nothing if you go to Google.

Andy said to Cheolsu Kim.

“I think you’ve already heard from Catherine. “I guess this is enough of an answer, right?”

“huh. enough. I think I can trust Android now. And like Andy said, now Google is going to have to bend down and come in. “If you don’t like the terms, you can always kick Larry’s ass.”

Everyone burst into laughter at Kim Cheol-soo’s answer.

**

Don’t make hasty decisions, but take a close look at all opportunities.

With those words left behind, Stephen Covey headed to the hotel.

Jim Keller was still delaying his decision, and Postel left a message for him to come to Apple headquarters.

Jim drove the car and headed to Apple.

Apple’s proposal was definitely more appealing than anyone else’s.

Entering the parking lot of Apple headquarters, Jim stopped the car for a moment and looked to the left.

It was a parking spot for the disabled, but a Mercedes SLK55 without a license plate was occupying three parking spaces.

Jim kept his foot on the brakes and stared at the car for a while.

In California, it is possible to temporarily drive without having an official license plate for 6 months, and there was only one person who used the disabled parking lot in that way.

Steve Jobs.

The reason he didn’t wear a license plate was because he didn’t want anyone to recognize him.

It was his hobby to replace expensive cars worth hundreds of millions of won every six months.

Parking messily in the disabled parking lot was also one of his eccentricities.

“Nothing has changed in 10 years. “That’s why I park like that.”

My first meeting with Steve Jobs also began in a parking lot.

It was also a crucial reason why he disliked Jobs.

Of course, although he was so talented, his jealousy that he was not receiving enough respect must have been reflected to some extent.

Jim immediately contacted the police.

Then he shook his head, and with a stern expression on his face, he left the parking lot he had just entered.

As I was heading home, I received a call from Postel.

– Hey, aren’t you coming?

– sorry. Because something urgent came up. I’ll go later. Preferably when Jobs is not at the company.

– What does that mean?

– I’ll organize my thoughts and contact you again when I visit there. hang up

After saying that, Jim pulled out the cell phone battery.

Jim, who was driving home, remembered that he was supposed to meet someone from a place called Hanyoung Group this evening, and he quickly turned around.

Meanwhile, Postel, who hung up his cell phone, hurriedly went out after hearing that the police had come.

Police were surrounding Jobs’ car, and Postel sighed heavily when he realized it was a disabled parking space.

Jobs’ sharp voice passed through my mind.

‘If the police are being rude, they say it’s a company car. It’s a special vehicle used for disabled employees.’

Although it made no common sense to use a sports car worth over $200,000 for a disabled employee, it was unavoidable.

Kim Cheol-soo sat at the appointed place with Jim Keller and waited.

But even after 30 minutes, Jim Keller did not show up.

I contacted the contact number I received, but the only message that came out was that the phone was turned off.

‘No way, you haven’t already decided, right?’

While he was pondering whether he should stay here longer or go to his house, a person with a familiar face caught Kim Cheol-soo’s eyes.

Kim Cheol-soo quickly stood up, and Jim Keller, who was looking around, saw an Asian man standing up and approached him.

A guy like that needs to be caught at all costs.

“I didn’t know you were waiting.”

Jim glanced at the young Asian man sitting in his seat.

If you leave more than 30 minutes late without any contact, most of them will be gone a long time ago.

However, the young man in front of me did not show any sign of displeasure even though it was so late.

Rather, he answered calmly.

“It’s my first time coming to this neighborhood, so I arrived 5 minutes ago, and I’m really glad I did. “I thought I was late and was worried that you might have already gone.”

Rather, Jim secretly smiled as he saw the Asian man saying that he was late and would have been in big trouble.

“It’s quite chilly for all the ice in the cup to melt in 5 minutes.”

Kim Cheol-soo noticed that Jim Keller’s sharp eyes were unusual.

“My hands are a little warm. Nice to meet you, I’m Kim Cheol-su from Hanyoung Trading Company.”

Jim smiled as he shook Kim Cheol-soo’s hand.

‘If you were holding a cup, your hands would be cold. ‘You’re quite considerate of me.’

“It’s Jim Keller. Currently Vice President of Palo Alto Semiconductor Company. I’ll buy you coffee, ice cream. “As punishment for being 5 minutes late.”

Before talking in earnest, Jim opened his mouth lightly.

“Actually, I was just on my way from meeting Steve Jobs. I reported a car parked messily in a handicapped space to the police. “Rules are made to be followed, not to be broken.”

Usually, people who are called geniuses are somewhat eccentric or engage in eccentric acts that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Like Jobs.

However, after a brief conversation with Jim Keller, I found that he was not like that at all.

“I heard Jobs is quite famous for parking in handicapped spaces.”

Jim Keller made a disapproving look at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.

“If people on the other side of the world even know such things, it seems like his popularity is skyrocketing.”

Kim Cheol-soo, who was looking at Jim Keller’s expression, quickly realized that he did not like Steve Jobs.

‘Maybe it will work out better than you think?’

The coffee came out and Jim gave a tip to the waiter serving him.

Then he looked at Kim Cheol-soo clearly and asked.

Among Asians, Jim Keller, who mainly dealt with Japanese people, expected the stiffness and awkwardness they would give, but he really liked the fact that he could talk comfortably with the man in front of him.

“Okay, why do you need me?”

Cheolsu Kim smiled and nodded.

“We need your skills.”

“There are a lot of people who want my skills. “This is my first time hearing about a company like Hanyoung Corporation or SKY Teletech.”

“If you put it that way, this is my first time hearing about Palo Alto Semiconductor Company.”

“You’re saying that because you don’t know. “We are developing and commercializing a high-speed network CPU, and in the future, people will be able to use a faster WIFI environment.”

“Developed it. Does that mean you want to move somewhere again?”

Jim took a sip of coffee and looked out the window.

“well. “I don’t know that.”

“If you go to Apple, it means you’ve already left your mind.”

“Maybe.”

“You said they improved the WiFi environment. “We are ready to change the world.”

“Change the world? haha. Do you have the skills to do that? “You know it’s a scam if you don’t have it, right?”

Cheolsu Kim quietly looked at the cell phone that Jim Keller had placed on one side.

“of course. “Are you using a Samsung phone?”

“It’s sturdy, doesn’t break down easily, and has good durability.”

“You know that there is a company called Samsung in Korea, right?”

“Was it like that?”

Jim Keller held up his cell phone, looked at the back, and nodded when he saw the small phrase.

“My skills are pretty good. “A country called Korea.”

Several companies contacted him saying they needed him.

Most of them had long careers and were people whose names you could easily recognize.

Therefore, he had never imagined that such a young friend would come all the way to the United States to recruit him.

I was expecting this brave, inexperienced, inexperienced Asian young man to say something crazy that would make me laugh, but it was unexpected.

He had pleasant, yet quite sharp eyes.

Jim answered with a shrug.

“I admit it. “You too.”

“thank you. We are truly working on a project to change the world, and we need partners who will be with us for the long term.”

“A partner? “Not employment?”

“If you hire them, they will leave one day.”

Jim looked at Kim Cheol-soo with wide eyes for a while and then took a sip of his coffee.

“It looks like they’ve researched me quite a bit.”

“Is there a need to investigate? “As soon as one project is finished, they change companies.”

“Because I’m bored.”

“There must have been a sense of victimization. “I am the main driver of development, but I see the company and others benefiting from it.”

What can I say, Jim felt his ears automatically turn towards Kim Cheol-soo as he heard a story that seemed to really look into his inner thoughts.

‘Tell me more.’

Kim Cheol-soo, who saw Jim’s reaction, opened his mouth without any significant change in expression.

“Why don’t you start a business?”

“Because I’m not sure. I like a fairly stable situation. “Not that adventurous.”

“For such an attitude, the accomplishments achieved were very challenging and innovative.”

“Because even if I fail, I’m not ruined.”

Kim Cheol-soo nodded his head loudly.

“sympathy. so do i.”

“ha ha ha.”

When everyone met, they presented salary, welfare, and other benefits.

All I wanted to do was take myself like a parrot and work on a great project.

But what can I say about the Asian person in front of me?

It was fresh.

Kim Cheol-soo took out some documents from his bag and showed them to Jim.

“This is a project we are working on. And you need a low-power CPU.”

Jim looked at the documents he handed over, looked at Kim Cheol-soo for a while, and then turned his eyes to the documents again.

“We have a great mobile work tool called a laptop, so why bother making one like this?”

“It’s troubling if you think it’s just for business purposes. It will change people’s lives. “Just like cars changed our lives.”

In response to Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Jim said nothing for a while.

After handing it over to Kim Cheol-soo, who must have looked through all the documents, he looked at his coffee cup in silence for a long time.

Then I turned my eyes and saw Kim Cheol-soo.

“You are doing a hopeless job.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Apple is also working on a similar project. There are many geniuses who followed Jobs. “If we start the same way, victory or defeat is already decided.”

Kim Cheol-soo nodded loudly while looking at Jim Keller.

“that’s right. “If the project proceeds in the same way as Apple, the dinosaur of the IT world, our defeat is certain.”

“That’s stupid.”

“But because of you, Jim Keller, we can compete with Apple and win. “You are such a great person.”

“···.”

“Don’t you want to beat Jobs?”

Jim Keller felt the desire dormant inside him stir.

But soon I looked at Kim Cheol-soo with a calm expression.

“You have a knack for making people’s hearts flutter. But like I said, I’m a stability seeker. And I can’t make a low-power CPU that can fit into the size of a cell phone like that on my own.”

‘It’s not that easy.’

Kim Cheol-soo took a sip of coffee and nodded his head loudly as if he agreed.

“That’s why we’re bringing people together.”

“who?”

Jim Keller, who was passive, tilted his upper body toward himself.

Cheolsu Kim noticed that he was somewhat interested in this proposal.

“James Reese and Lisa Su.”

“ARM’s James Reese and IBM’s Lisa Su?”

Jim Keller answered as if he knew them well.

“that’s right.”

“Who is leading the project we are currently working on?”

“A person named Jo Yoon-jeong.”

Jim Keller nodded as if he knew who it was.

“She was at IBM. “She doesn’t know me, but I know her pretty well.”

“why?”

“When I moved from DEC, I was worried about whether to go to IBM or AMD. “She was the woman who made me choose AMD at that time.”

Jim chuckled and continued.

“Was it the day I went for an interview at IBM? “I heard the woman walking by with another co-worker of hers, looking at me and muttering that she wouldn’t work hard because she was fat.”

Jim Keller answered with a smile, but Kim Cheol-soo became nervous again.

According to Catherine’s data, I heard that she is timid and may hesitate to do business with someone she doesn’t like.

‘Of course. ‘Do you even remember such little things?’

“ARM is a company that has been designing low-power CPUs for a long time, and James Reese is their chief CPU designer. “Lisa Su is, well, a celebrity in the semiconductor processing industry.”

“yes.”

“Cho Yoon-jeong, that woman. She doesn’t like it, but she’s put a lot of thought into it. “With that kind of combination, something will definitely come out.”

Jim Keller soon spoke with a stern expression.

“But I’m surprised she singled me out. “She’s the one who can’t do her job properly because she’s fat.”

“I guess you didn’t know your worth.”

“Well, let’s say so.”

Jim’s eyes seemed to sparkle for a moment.

“It’s a partnership. What exactly is the concept?”
