Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 221

Steve Jobs, who was hit with a $4,500 fine, yelled at the office for a while.

Postel waited outside for Steve Jobs’ anger to subside and joked around with his secretary.

“Can it be 10 minutes?”

“Don’t you think we should stay for about 30 more minutes?”

“shit! “I should go out and have a cup of coffee.”

Suddenly.

As soon as Jobs left the office, he saw his secretary and Postel sitting there and screamed.

“who is this?”

Postel and the secretary shook their heads.

“If I get caught, I’ll have to get a resignation letter, damn it!”

Postel glanced at the parking lot through the window and opened his mouth.

“Even after getting fined, I still didn’t get rid of the car. I think it was a punitive fine. “If I report it again, will you accept my resignation?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. “You can’t.”

Jobs whined like a puppy and went back into the office.

Postel followed him into the office.

“Didn’t you say you were meeting an engineer named Jim Keller today?”

“I did, but it suddenly went back. I’ll come back when you’re gone. When I looked at the CCTV, I saw that he came all the way to the parking lot and then left again. “After that the police came.”

As he said, Jobs quickly realized that the person who had reported him was Jim Keller, and that he hated him very much.

Anyone else would have gotten angry and cursed, but Jobs actually had a more curious and inquisitive expression.

No matter how much he thought about it, he had never met a person named Jim Keller in his life.

“Why did that kid report it?”

“Do you know Nandeul?”

“What did you say you were an engineer for?”

“CPU Design.”

“I need to meet that bastard right away and ask him why he reported it.”

Jobs immediately pulled out his coat from the chair, and Postel realized he wasn’t joking.

“Stephen! Do you want to mess things up?”

“Are you curious? Why do you hate me? “I’m a person whose face I’ve never seen.”

“But like this…”

“I feel like I’ll miss out on something if I don’t meet him right away. “Please talk to security and find out where he is now.”

“I’m serious?”

Jobs opened his eyes wide and nodded.

“of course. I dared to report it even though I knew it was my car. Even talented people in America who are considered geniuses bow their heads in front of me and are busy trying to please me, but that guy dared to report my car!”

“Stephen…”

“If you don’t think that Ji is better than me, that can never happen. “A guy like that must be caught at all costs.”

Postel just shook his head at the absurd logic of Jobs, who spoke with a grin.

**

Although he said it was a partnership, what Kim Cheol-soo was explaining was the concept of subcontracting.

However, it was not a master-slave relationship that took a toll on your back.

“Do you think you are being too considerate of my convenience? “Can’t I still receive funding even if I don’t work?”

“Of course, yes. “Even if it means taking a lot of damage, we need you.”

– Rumble.

It was then.

Kim Cheol-soo couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment when he saw someone roughly open the door and come in.

And isn’t he striding up to his table?

you go too

Larry lost half of his shares due to Hanyoung Group’s quick move.

He gave up his attachment to Android and attacked Andy personally.

We were like-minded friends, and most importantly, we had similar visions.

Andy had already had a bitter taste in Korea, and Larry thought he had taken advantage of that point and almost brought him over to his side.

However, Andy immediately rejected his proposal without any consultation.

Almost a year of hard work went to waste in an instant, and Larry became angry and looked for the reason.

“It’s been a while, Larry.”

Kim Cheol-soo held out his hand and Larry shook his head.

Last year, when I first faced him, I remembered being defeated in a power struggle, and Kim Cheol-soo’s sturdy physique was still the same.

Instead, Larry answered with a shocked expression.

“You shouldn’t have contacted me if you had come.”

Cheolsu Kim looked at Larry’s expression and grinned.

“I couldn’t afford that. Catherine picked me up at the airport without an appointment and took me to Andy. “I said Andy’s heart was shaken.”

“Damn…”

Unlike other employees, Catherine never reacted positively to her own suggestions.

However, since she was also in the position of following Andy around, she thought that if she just dragged Andy in this direction, everything would go smoothly.

But to be stabbed in the back by her like this!

“It’s not nice to try to steal people like that, Larry. “I was already planning to go there after work this time and say something.”

Meanwhile, Jim Keller was quietly glaring at Kim Cheol-soo and Larry, an uninvited guest who had jumped into his space, with an uncomfortable expression.

As I listened carefully to what they were saying, the situation was like this.

Larry Page is said to be a successful businessman in the U.S. with an excellent search engine called Google, although it is a completely different field from his own as he deals with hardware.

It was surprising that he was already acquainted with that rookie from Korea, and it was even more surprising that Larry Page had already been defeated by Kim Cheol-soo.

‘How surprising!’

After hearing something from Kim Cheol-soo, Larry turned his head to Jim Keller, who was sitting across from him, with a strange expression.

“Who is that friend?”

Jim Keller, who occasionally greeted Andy at his party, looked at Andy with a disapproving expression as he did not remember him.

“You don’t know me! “You’re almost as intelligent as a chimpanzee, Larry Page.”

Larry’s expression crumpled like a piece of paper.

It was the first time I had heard that I had bad hair.

Larry and Jim Keller glared at each other with sparkling eyes, and Cheolsu Kim clapped his hands slightly.

“Larry. Sorry, I’m talking about something important right now. “I’ll go there later.”

But Larry looked at Jim Keller without answering, and finally remembered who he was.

“Jim Keller. Right?”

“Now I remember.”

“Jim, you can’t believe you’re ignoring people like this just because you’ve had some success at AMD. “It’s difficult.”

Larry sat down next to Kim Cheol-soo, called the waiter, and ordered a cup of coffee.

“What are you doing?”

Jim Keller asked with a frown, and Larry grinned with a mischievous look on his face.

“Aren’t you curious? “What are these two people talking about?”

“This is very unpleasant.”

“If I’m right, I think it’s something we can intervene in as well. no?”

“It has nothing to do with that. “Nothing has been decided yet.”

Jim Keller looked uncomfortable and tried to leave, so Larry reached out and grabbed the hem of Jim Keller’s clothes.

“Ha, why are you doing this? Before you came here, were you only interested in Kim? But maybe she couldn’t be sure.”

“···.”

“Because you probably don’t know much about this guy. “If I wake up now, it could be the biggest regret of my life.”

Jim Keller turned his head to remove Larry’s hand, and Larry looked at Jim Keller with a confident expression and said,

“I guarantee this guy. You are a very outstanding friend. “He even made me drink water twice.”

Kim Chul-soo looked at Larry, who suddenly took his side, with bewildered eyes, and Jim Keller looked at Larry and Kim Chul-soo alternately and then sat down again.

Jim sat down, and Larry let out a long sigh.

“Andy remains a very important talent to us. “If you can’t bring him, he has no choice but to join hands with you.”

Jim Keller crossed his arms with a puzzled expression, and changed his direction of thought as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Kim Cheol-soo is not a courageous young man, but a capable man recognized by Larry Page.

“Don’t do this here. “Let’s go somewhere nicer.”

Larry looked at Cheolsu Kim.

“I know roughly what that company and Android are trying to do. “Seeing you meet Jim, it looks like CPU work has started in earnest, right?”

Kim Cheol-soo didn’t bother to answer.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult if there were too many ears to listen?”

Larry grinned and turned his head toward Jim Keller.

“You should go too.”

It must have been about an hour since they left the cafe.

A tall figure wearing a black turtleneck t-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers entered.

He looked around and muttered with a puzzled look on his face.

“Damn security teams!”

And then I immediately picked up my cell phone and made a call.

-No!

– The vehicle is still there. It’s probably around somewhere.

– shit.

Steve Jobs went out of the cafe and started walking around, ignoring the people’s gazes on him.

**

‘Wow, this is America!’

Although it was a long trip, Park Dong-gyu set foot in a foreign country for the first time.

He breathed in the air of Newark Liberty International Airport with an expression of emotion.

“I don’t have time for that. “What about the document I mentioned earlier?”

Park Dong-gyu immediately took out the USB memory card and handed it over.

“Here it is. Managing Director.”

Since the employee assigned by SKY Teletech was not very trustworthy, the employee assigned Park Hae-seong and brought Park Dong-gyu with him.

Although he was a new employee, he seemed sincere as he was quick and worked overtime like he was eating.

The report was also done quite neatly and well.

But apart from that, Jo Yoon-jeong was always nervous because the preparations were so hasty and there were many things to worry about.

“I have a meeting with IBM tomorrow afternoon. “There is no time to rest.”

“yes! All right.”

After hearing Park Dong-gyu’s courageous answer, Jo Yoon-jeong contacted Lisa Su.

– how have you been doing?

– then. Have you arrived?

– huh.

– You came on time. I’m heading towards Times Square.

– okay. See you there.

Jo Yoon-jeong, who cut off contact, gave another USB memory and a corporate card to Park Dong-gyu and continued speaking rapidly.

“When I arrive, I have someone to meet separately, so please organize the data and make it into a 10-page report.”

“all right.”

“It will take some time, and with that, you can eat whatever you want around you.”

“oh! All right!”

Park Dong-gyu, who was handed a corporate card, nodded repeatedly.

Jo Yoon-jeong took a taxi to Times Square.

I left my luggage with Park Dong-gyu’s side and sent it to the hotel, and feeling much lighter, I headed to the agreed upon place with Lisa Su.

Although it was an old building boasting a 100-year-old tradition, the interior was antique and stylishly decorated.

Lisa, who had already arrived and was sitting down, saw Jo Yoon-jeong and waved.

Jo Yoon-jeong also approached the seat while seeing Lisa like that, pulled out a chair and said.

“It’s been a really long time here.”

“I know? We had dinner here to celebrate getting our first paycheck. “I think that was about 10 years ago.”

“Time goes by so fast.”

“I ordered what you like first.”

“thank you.”

While eating, the two talked about things that had happened while they had not seen each other, and when their dishes were empty, they started talking about work in earnest.

“Is the Cell processor complete?”

“huh. “The CPU design and production process have been completed, and process engineers and development engineers will need to increase the yield for the rest.”

“What’s the next project?”

“Nothing has been decided yet. “Because I heard something from you, the incoming project has been handed over to another team for now.”

“good job.”

“Do you have anything to tell me?

“what?”

“Now I have to tell you what it is.”

“You will naturally find out when we start talking to IBM in earnest starting tomorrow, but let me explain first.”

“good.”

“Just a moment before that. Are you really planning to accept Motorola’s offer?”

Lisa nodded and answered.

“Next year I will already be 37. My brain, which had been working so well, is becoming sluggish to the point where I can feel it has rusted. “If I stay here, my career will fade away with the twilight of my life.”

“···.”

“They want to IPO a semiconductor company called Freescale, and they want to hire me as their CTO. “I think it’s a good opportunity.”

Jo Yoon-jeong also nodded at her words.

“There will definitely be good results. “I support you.”

“thank you.”

“However, before we go that direction, let’s do one last project with us. “It’s a project that will change the world.”

“really?”

“It won’t be easy. But if we succeed, people won’t forget our name for at least a century.”

“Don’t keep stalling.”

Jo Yoon-jeong took out her cell phone and placed it on the table.

“We’re going to build a computer this size.”

He then took out several sheets of paper from his briefcase and unfolded them.

Lisa laughed with an absurd expression.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m being serious. Of course, we cannot present the finished product right away, but it will be completed little by little every year.”

“···.”

“People use these small cell phones to use the Internet, make calls, take pictures, and listen to music. We’ll send and receive messages and even play games, right? “In the future, you will be able to control devices in your home with this small device.”

“··· Ubiquitous.”

“huh. When mobile phones become like computers, things beyond what we imagine will happen. “It’s literally changing the world.”

Lisa stopped laughing and looked at the documents Jo Yoon-jeong had taken out with a serious expression.

“···How far has it progressed?”

“Once the low-power CPU is complete, the prototype is complete.”

“It will take a long time.”

“We will use ARM’s low-power CPU blueprint. “We will complement that and complete a new CPU.”

“I understand.”

“If you complete the CPU manufacturing process, we will manufacture it at the IBM factory. “I want to finish it within a year at the earliest or two years at the latest.”

“If it’s ARM’s low-power blueprint… does it even involve James Reese?”

Jo Yoon-jeong nodded at Lisa’s words.

“huh.”

“Who is the CPU design designer?”

“There’s a guy named Jim Keller from AMD. “He’s a genius.”

“Does this mean you’re going to go multi-core?”

Jo Yoon-jeong smiled brightly and nodded at those words.

“It’s just like you. that’s right. “It is difficult to achieve performance with a single core, and the higher the operating clock, the more heat it generates, and it uses up too much battery.”

“yes.”

“First of all, I’m thinking of a low-clock dual core. Of course, as battery technology develops, CPU performance will also increase.”

“What program do you want to run?”

“It’s almost complete now.”

“··· It’s amazing. “It’s only been two months since you went there, right?”

“huh. “It was already planned and made a year ago.”

Lisa Su let out an exclamation with an expression of complete surprise.

“1 year ago? “Isn’t it amazing that such a small country is already doing something like that?”

“Nothing to be surprised, right? “When it comes to mobile phone manufacturing technology, Korea was already the best in the world.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Lisa, who was nodding her head, suddenly opened her mouth with a curious expression.

“If you are that prepared, is there any need to do this project with me? “There are a lot of famous developers at IBM.”

“Of course it is. “But you have something special about you.”

“also?”

“You’re thinking about leaving for Freescale in about two years.”

“so?”

“I think at least you won’t betray us. “IBM postpones it from day to day and skips the details so that they can develop the product first in a different way.”

“···.”

“But IBM doesn’t mean much to you, right? “I’m going to leave anyway.”

Lisa Su burst out laughing at Jo Yoon-jeong’s words.

“right! “You’ve achieved results that way, right?”

“huh. “I tried it, so it can happen like that.”

“Then you’ve come to the right place. “At least I don’t do that.”

“That’s why I’m meeting you separately like this.”

“One thing is clear. “Of course, this is the Dr. Joe I know.”

Lisa took another look at the paper Jo Yoon-jeong had taken out.

“It’s gonna be fun. I’ll do my best. “I think of it as my last product as a developer.”

“thank you! After all, there is only you.”

“Are you going to meet James too?”

“··· no.”

“If you go, it might be easier to persuade. “I don’t think he has forgotten you yet, and neither have the children.”

Jo Yoon-jeong, who had quietly lowered her head in response to Lisa’s words, soon opened her mouth with a stern expression.

“Shall we have another drink?”

Lisa looked at her expression and nodded.

“It’s good! “Let’s get in the mood for the first time in a while.”

This is going to be fun

What was supposed to be a quick coffee meeting soon turned into dinner.

The juice from the thick steak filled the white plate.

Larry, who boasted that it was one of the top three restaurants in San Francisco, was chatting while sprinkling on a lot of spices and sauces.

“It’s definitely delicious. But you don’t seem to like it very much.”

Jim enjoyed the slightly fishy yet sweet and savory taste of the meat with little sauce or spices.

And in the meantime, he didn’t stop attacking Larry.

“I never said I liked this. “I came here because I said I needed a quiet space with few people.”

Larry covered a piece of meat with A1 sauce and popped it into his mouth.

“Actually, hamburgers and cola sold on the street are perfect for my taste. Ah, Jim. “You’ve never eaten something called pork belly, right?”

“pork belly? “Is this your first time hearing this?”

“They say it’s a famous food in Korea. Don’t you know that? “Your insight is shallow.”

Kim Cheol-soo chuckled as he watched the two getting nervous.

Just looking at it, it seemed like the competitive spirit had already been activated.

“Do you know about bulgogi?”

“of course.”

“It’s comparable to the taste. When I have time, I’ll have to invite Kim to another party. “The pork belly that friend makes is really amazing.”

Jim turned his gaze to Kim Cheol-soo.

“It’s definitely embarrassing to hear that a chimpanzee has limited insight.”

“what?”

Google was used as an excellent search engine in the United States and several other countries.

However, since it was just a search site, its business model clearly had limitations.

The browser is Explorer, and the operating system is Windows.

It was just one of the services provided to customers on a huge system.

Larry, who was thinking about a new business model, saw infinite possibilities in Andy’s Android system.

It was a new operating system and had infinite expandability.

Because it was open source oriented, it was not a task to involve numerous developers.

I thought that if we added Google’s software to it, it would be able to compete with the giant Microsoft.

Larry shook his head and looked at Cheolsu Kim, not wanting to continue talking.

“If we add Google’s search system and Google Maps, which we are currently developing, to Android, we will be able to provide users with the best environment.”

Kim Cheol-su thought as he cut meat with a knife.

Clearly, a mobile phone OS could not be completed with Android alone.

Even considering the future he experienced, Google had to be incorporated into Android.

“It certainly seems plausible. “But I don’t have the authority to move forward with such a project.”

From Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Larry noticed that he was showing a positive attitude toward his opinions.

Although he said he had no authority, I could see that he came to the United States every time something important happened.

That he is a person who plays an important role in the company.

“Let’s discuss it formally with them.”

“good. “I’ll talk about Google when I get back.”

Cheolsu Kim nodded, and Larry grinned excitedly.

Jim Keller looked at the two quietly.

Anyone could see that Larry was being dragged around.

It was a situation that anyone who knew this floor well would say was unrealistic.

‘Is it the unlucky Jobs’ Apple that was revived just before bankruptcy, or is it an unknown Asian company with such great prospects that a chimpanzee would stoop down to join Google, which is on a roll?’

One side talked about a tablet that was smaller than a laptop but could be used by touch.

The other side talked about a device the size of a cell phone that is currently in use.

A tablet is more realistic, but if a product the size of a cell phone were released, it would definitely bring a big change.

After finishing talking with Larry, Kim Cheol-soo looked at Jim Keller, who was silently contemplating something.

All of these stories were only possible when smartphones were created.

However, Jim Keller was not the type of person who liked making hasty decisions.

Just as he was about to say he would think about it, someone came up to their table and plopped down next to Jim Keller.

“shit! “You went far!”

Of course, the eyes of the three men turned to another uninvited guest.

Larry looked embarrassed, and Jim Keller looked displeased.

Kim Cheol-soo widened his eyes as if he was surprised.

“Stephen Paul Jobs?”

Steve looked at the Asian young man who said his full name, then looked away as if he was not particularly interested.

And then he saw Larry Page sitting next to him.

“Google only makes software, but why is it focusing on hardware?”

“haha. “I’ve never done that before?”

“There is none.”

“But what’s happening here all of a sudden?”

Since the two were dealing with Microsoft, a giant in the IT world, they thought of each other as peers even though they had no cooperative relationship whatsoever.

Steve made eye contact with Jim Keller, who was sitting next to him and glaring at him with an unpleasant expression.

Both of them had sparkling eyes, but Jim Keller did not avoid Steve’s gaze, but rather narrowed his eyes.

“There was an engineer who ran away from home, so I came to catch him.”

Jim Keller laughed at those words.

“I’m going to be amazed. “Since when did I belong to Apple?”

“Why do you hate Apple?”

It was Steve who asked a very crude question.

“I don’t know about Apple, but I hate you.”

It was Jim Keller who gave a vivid answer accordingly.

Steve nodded, paying no heed to those words.

“Then that’s it. Come to Apple. load. The only time you see my face after today will be when you fail a project. We promise a higher salary and perfect benefits than any other company. “It’s in my name.”

The moment I realized that Jim Keller was a genius who left behind a legacy called HyperTransport, which became the basis for the development of multi-core processors at AMD.

Steve sensed that he was the person needed to create Apple’s next-generation low-power CPU.

Because of his boldness and charisma beyond his imagination, Jim Keller felt weighed down by him.

Larry Page frowned as he looked at Jim Keller, who was unable to answer right away and was worried.

Apple already had both the OS and base software for Mac PCs through a company called NeXT.

There wasn’t much room for them to intervene.

In the IT industry, where the scope of change is severe and competition is fierce, there are many cases where once you are pushed out, you disappear forever.

It seemed like their plan to apply their own software to Android would all go to waste because of one word from Steve.

Larry opened his mouth in a dissatisfied voice.

“That method is still the same. And we all know that Apple’s Steve is a liar. “He never kept his word.”

“You said you’re not interested in hardware?”

When Steve asked back, Larry frowned and said,

“We’re talking about important business right now. “Can you please go away?”

“Let’s hear what’s going on.”

Instead, Steve crossed his arms and crossed his legs.

“Is there an idiot in the world who talks about business in front of a competitor’s representative?”

“That’s strange! “I understand that not long ago we came together to form an anti-MS alliance, but when did we become competitors?”

While Larry and Steve heatedly argued, Jim Keller smiled at them.

They were both in a situation where they needed each other, and every time they shouted and fought, the sound of the ransom rising seemed to ring in my ears.

“You damn bastard!”

Larry, who was pushed off his feet, started swearing, and Steve turned his attention to Kim Cheol-soo, who was sitting next to Larry, as if it didn’t matter.

From earlier, like a tree, he was just watching the fight between himself and Larry without any change in his expression.

I could clearly tell what the smiling Jim Keller next to me was thinking, but I had no idea what was going through the mind of this Asian young man across from me.

Of course, I had no idea who he was.

“What is that friend? “Is this your new secretary?”

“Would a secretary be in a position like this?”

When Cheolsu Kim first saw Steve, he was quite surprised.

And then my heart started pounding.

It was not easy to see someone who dominated an era so closely.

However, Kim Cheol-soo’s heart soon cooled when he realized that he had to negotiate with Jim Keller.

This was a competition with Steve.

“nice to meet you. My name is Cheolsu Kim. “I’m from Korea.”

“Ah, the country that makes those ugly cell phones?”

Steve glanced at Jim Keller next to him and opened his mouth.

“Is it from Samsung?”

“no. At Hanyoung General Trading Company.”

Steve leaned back deeply in his chair at the name of the company he had never heard of.

‘You’re not my opponent.’

“So, what’s going on here?”

“To work with Jim Keller.”

“You’re in vain.”

“Are you too confident?”

At those words, Steve smiled, showing his teeth.

“Because I have the skills, background, and life history to do so. You may know me, but I don’t know anything about you. That’s our difference. Difference in eye level.”

As Kim Cheol-soo looked at Steve, he lifted the glass of lukewarm wine on the table with a calm expression and took a sip.

“You will need to know me better from now on.”

“ha ha ha. “Is that necessary?”

“then. “I screwed you up today, and I’ll be the one who keeps screwing you up from now on.”

Steve burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

“Hahaha!”

Larry, who had calmed down his excitement, suddenly burst into laughter, and Steve erased his laughter and turned his gaze to him.

Larry said, tapping his fingers on the table.

I looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who had helped me twice, with eyes full of anticipation.

“This is going to be fun, right?”

fantasy, modern,
