“hmm···.”
The president’s office of Hanyoung Corporation.
Youngjun Choi flicked through the approval report from the disciplinary committee.
It was a much lower level of punishment than expected.
There was no disciplinary action against Lee Kyung-jeon, who grabbed the head of the human resources team by the collar, or Jin-young Song, who received money from the head of the human resources team.
However, the only pay cut for team leader Kim Cheol-soo was six months.
Choi Young-jun turned his attention to Executive Director Baek Jeong-gu, who brought the report.
Although he was directly under the head office, he also served as the disciplinary chairman at Hanyoung Corporation.
“I had no choice due to Team Leader Kim Cheol-soo’s threats.”
“A threat?”
“They said they would leave this company if they disciplined their team members.”
“··· That is a very troubling threat.”
“I’m sorry for not being an example.”
However, Youngjun Choi nodded and lightly signed the payment document.
“Team Leader Kim is receiving a 6-month pay cut. “It is truly an appropriate punishment.”
“yes?”
Baek Jeong-gu tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, but Choi Young-jun was just smiling inexplicably.
“What will happen to Executive Director Park Moo-young?”
“The legal team is probably filing a complaint for stealing company secrets.”
“okay. “This disciplinary action may cause dissatisfaction within the company, so I think we should raise the issue of Park Moo-young instead.”
“Are you telling me to start a rumor?”
“That would be great. “I tried to profit from rumors, so I should be ruined by rumors.”
“It will be an adjutant’s visit.”
“If that person wasn’t the head of the human resources team in the first place, it wouldn’t have happened.”
Choi Young-jun was firm, and Baek Jeong-gu immediately nodded.
“All right. “We will proceed like that.”
As Managing Director Baek Jeong-gu was about to leave, Choi Young-jun called him.
“Director Baek.”
“yes. president.”
“If you had to choose the most important team in the company… which would you choose?”
“It would be the human resources team.”
“The team leader’s position just happened to be vacant.”
A position in charge of human resources.
It was a position with the most authority after the president.
Choi Young-jun looked straight into Baek Jeong-gu’s eyes and opened his mouth.
“Do you have any thoughts?”
Baek Jeong-gu, who worked in the human resources team for about 10 years, was passed over for promotion and moved to another team.
After looking at Choi Youngjun for a long time, he lowered his head.
“I don’t know if I can do it well, but if you leave it to me, I will do my best.”
“thank you. Managing Director Baek.”
Baek Jeong-gu bowed deeply to his waist again and left the president’s office.

After checking the report posted through the audit office, Choi Gyeong-hoon stood up from his chair.
Managing a group.
It was a very difficult task.
It would be nice to choose only the people you like, but complex human relationships make that impossible.
You can reign like an absolute ruler, but then you will have more enemies and management will become more difficult.
There was always something going on in the back, and in the worst case, the business itself could go downhill.
I never expected that Managing Director Park Moo-young, who had devoted himself to Hanyoung Group for nearly 35 years, would be ruined like that.
The words to set an example were words that came from Choi Kyeong-hoon’s own mouth.
However, upon hearing the report that a criminal lawsuit was planned, Choi Kyung-hoon shook his head with a bitter expression.
craving.
The fundamental reason that rules humans.
When the laziness that comes with power and unrefined desire meet, humans are ruined.
“In that context…”
That guy was truly amazing.
I still couldn’t figure it out.
He was also the guy who came up with a scheme to allow Choi Young-jun to take complete control of Hanyoung General Trading Company.
A person who was successful without a single failure had natural deficiencies.
Fear of failure.
Fear of pointing fingers.
That’s why he tried his best not to leave even the slightest stain.
There were countless people like that around me.
“He’s a funny guy.”
Disciplinary records remain on personnel cards.
I can’t believe a guy who uses such cunning tricks gets disciplined himself to protect his teammates.
It was quite different from the humans I had experienced so far.
“If these employees survive… they will become his loyalists. “The method of creating one’s own person is also very novel.”

Rich people teach their children about their success.
Money is just an illusion.
Their experience of success was a real asset that was passed down to future generations.
But in Kim Cheol-soo’s life, there were no people nearby who could teach him such things.
‘I can’t help but think that I woke up on my own.’
Kyung-Hoon Choi recalled legendary Korean startup founders.
Among them, there were people who built the best companies in impossible environments.
People who learned everything on their own without anyone teaching them.
21st century.
People were sad that there was no new talent that could shake up Korea.
Everyone was busy building on what the first generation founders had built, and their qualifications were far inferior to those of the founders.
“Wrong.”
Choi Kyung-hoon raised the corners of his mouth, and his nasolabial folds deepened.
“In the future, Korea will dominate the world. “It would be great to see that.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon muttered and stood up from the chair, using his cane.
“…It’s a shame there isn’t much time left.”
**
Kim Cheol-soo and Song Jin-young’s ‘affair novel’ disappeared in an instant.
Instead, rumors spread widely that Team Leader Park Moo-young stole Team Kim Cheol-soo’s business plan and handed it over to Hanyoung IT.
Thanks to this, those who were trying to take control of the board of directors by holding a private meeting with team leader Park Moo-young found themselves in a truly desperate situation.
And Choi Oh-jun could not avoid that influence.
“That habit of stealing from others still remains.”
Headquarters group CEO meeting.
Choi Kyung-jun spit out sharp words toward Choi Oh-jun.
“Are you even stealing your brother-in-law’s business plan because you have nothing to steal?”
Although Choi Gyeong-jun’s prestige plummeted to the ground, he was the president of Hanyoung Electronics, the largest business in the Hanyoung Group.
“Why are you trying to take it from me next time?”
“Stop it, please. “Why don’t we talk about that at home?”
“Or are you going to take it from your little ones?”
“Oh really! “Please stop.”
Choi Oh-jun, unable to hold back his irritation, frowned, but the CEOs’ eyes towards him were not very positive either.
“So you’re going to join hands with Yahoo like your brother-in-law planned? What on earth are you good at? Like Seungnyang, she’s only good at taking and stealing from others. “If someone like you takes over the group, it will be ruined, do you know?”
‘f*ck, I really want to listen to it…’
As I listened to those words coming from Choi Kyung-jun’s mouth, my teeth automatically ground apart.
If it weren’t for Chu Kyung-tae, he would be a person whose presence is worse than the air.
As the fight between the two became bloody, the tension in the conference room also increased.
Just as Choi Oh-jun, who was very angry, was about to scream, Chairman Choi Kyeong-hoon, who came in accompanied by the chief secretary, caught his eye and automatically shut his itching mouth.
Choi Kyung-jun laughed at him with a sly expression, and Choi Oh-jun closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth.
‘Choi Kyung-jun, you will be kicked out penniless. ‘I’ll go to work every day watching you sleep out on the street and beg people.’
Choi Oh-jun took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and muttered.
‘And it’s not Yahoo he’s trying to get his hands on, it’s Google, you idiot. ‘I will speak properly.’

“how have you been doing?”
“of course.”
Park Dong-gyu naturally shook hands with Larry Page, and Lee Kyung-jeon and Song Jin-young opened their eyes wide.
I couldn’t get closer because of the aura coming from Larry, but Park Dong-gyu exchanged greetings with a very natural expression.
Larry tapped Park Dong-gyu’s shoulder and nodded, then looked away, but stopped when he saw Robert.
“··· Robert Denier?”
“How are you, Larry?”
“oh my god!”
Larry Page greeted Robert warmly, and Kyung-Jeon Lee and Jin-Young Song’s eyes widened again.
“I was wondering where you went after retirement, but it was in Korea.”
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of being your guide again. “There will never be another childish child like you in the world.”
“Hahaha, it was really fun back then!”
Larry was smiling as if he was happy to see an acquaintance he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“What’s going on here?”
“Well, I came to work.”
Larry tilted his head.
“What does a person who spends his entire life and still has money left do for a living?”
“I’m not a person who lives for financial retirement. This job is quite thrilling. “I feel like I’ve been alive for the first time in a long time.”
Larry said, pointing to Cheolsu Kim coming in from a distance with a middle-aged man with gray hair.
“no way···. “You’re not working with Charles over there, are you?”
“also! Larry, you’re right. “Your senses have always been spot on.”
“··· oh my god! No, damn it!”
“Now, before that, let me introduce the team members I work with. “This is a silhouette.”
“Isn’t your name… Korean?”
Kyungjeon Lee hurriedly opened his mouth at Larry’s words.
“··· This is assistant manager Lee Gyeong-jeon.”
Larry tilted his head for a moment and offered his hand with a happy expression.
“Nice to meet you. “This is Larry Page.”
“It is an honour.”
Robert said, pointing to Song Jinyoung.
“This is Guillotine.”
“Hahaha, that’s a scary name.”
“nice to meet you. “This is Jinyoung Song.”
Larry shook Jinyoung Song’s hand and tilted his head.
“what? “You look very familiar.”
“yes···? “Is this your first time?”
“is it?”
Larry scratched his head, but had to say hello to Cheolsu Kim who soon approached him.
“This is the vice president of Aju Bank, whom I contacted separately by phone.”
“It’s called Jang Sam-dong.”
“Nice to meet you. “This is Larry Page.”
Soon the conference room door opened and two people rushed in.
They were Kim Hak-dong and Moon Young-jo.
“··· Charles. “Do you think there are too many people gathered?”
Larry trembled with a worried expression, and Kim Cheol-soo responded with a smile.
“Why are you worried?”
“Something feels uncomfortable.”
“They are all my allies. “It might be easy to fool just me, but it would be hard to fool everyone here.”
Larry answered with a grin.
“It’s harder to fool you, damn it.”
The two moved together to the prepared spot.
Larry was a little nervous looking at the large crowd of people, but strangely he didn’t feel bad.
Banks, Hanyoung Corporation, Afreeca TV, and even Google.
‘Charles! ‘What on earth are you drawing?’
I’m investing in you
“Next year we will be connected to a new world.”
Before entering the full-scale investment meeting, Kim Cheol-soo gave a brief presentation.
When he tells a rough story about the future he experienced, his team members complete the story in writing.
I have also had constant meetings with Kim Yun-seok of I Love School and Jeong Jae-hwan of Freechal.
By adding details one by one, a huge business platform including SNS, logistics, finance, online stores, etc. was completed.
“But because this is our first experience, there has been no concrete discussion about what the industry can offer people. So, we are trying to become guides in this unknown world.”
Although the hardware and environment were created, the software that users could use based on this was limited.
Although the iPhone 1 was announced in early 2007, it was after 2010 that smartphones began to be distributed and used around the world.
Kim Cheol-soo intended to narrow this gap.
A guide to the unknown world.
Larry Page felt his heart pounding.
It was his habit and innate quality that appeared every time he saw an impressive business plan.
Every time that happened, his concentration increased as if he had taken a stimulant.
Under the slow mobile network protocol called 2G, what could be done was clearly limited.
“We will develop a program that will allow people to freely send messages using the Internet. Paying 15 won to send a text message of limited length will no longer be an issue.”
The decisive factor that led people to move from feature phones to smartphones was because they could send and receive large amounts of messages without paying a lot of money.
“If you pay a certain amount of fee, you will be able to send and receive unlimited messages with many people conveniently. The usage fee itself is very cheap, but as the number of subscribers increases, the company’s profits and influence will increase significantly.”
Jang Sam-dong heard some of the story from Lee Jun-hak.
However, I did not really agree with the idea that the products they make could create a future of this magnitude.
However, what is certain is that a flat fee that is cheaper than the cost of sending a text message would be enough to appeal to people.
“As communication environments improve, we will be able to freely exchange not only messages but also photos, voices, and videos. It is not limited to one country. “People all over the world will be able to share stories.”
However, Larry Page, who felt that this future was near, got goosebumps all over his body.
A certain amount of usage fee.
And a platform for people from all over the world to exchange messages.
My mouth fell open at the business appeal and scalability that these two would bring.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled calmly and flipped through the presentation screen.
“Do you know the god Mercurius?”
“Roman god?”
“you’re right. “Mercurius is a messenger god, and because of his mission to communicate with many gods and deliver news, he cannot stay in one place.”
Kim Cheol-soo took a sip of water and spoke again.
“Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is only briefly visible at dawn and early evening.”
‘Mercury···?’
People tilted their heads, but their eyes were fixed on Kim Cheol-soo.
“According to Carl Sagan, the Romans named Mercury because his busy appearance made him look like a messenger god. Mercurius is called ‘Hermes’ in Latin and ‘Mercury’ in English.”
“Ah, Mercury!”
“Yes, that’s right. And ‘Mercury’ is the official name of the platform we will create.”
– Mercury.
“We are targeting 500,000 subscribers in 2006, 10 million in 2007, and 100 million in 2008.”
Jang Sam-dong got motion sick while calculating the numbers in his head.
If the number of Mercury users around the world increases…
How much will the derived profits be?
Jang Sam-dong asked a question in a trembling voice.
“Is there an objective model that can predict that?”
The number of smartphones that SKY Teletech can manufacture is limited.
Although we are not aggressively expanding our facilities yet, it was inevitable that we would do so soon.
Feature phone manufacturers in many countries, including China, Japan, the United States, and Korea, will belatedly enter the smartphone business.
And they have no choice but to adopt the fully open Android OS as the basic system.
Of course, in order to use the Android OS for business purposes, you must pay royalties, and as an additional condition, you must install the Mercury system as a basic program.
“All mobile phones using the Android system will be equipped with Mercury as standard. “People just buy a mobile phone and can use Mercury without any special operations.”
“Have you predicted users after 2008?”
Kim Cheol-su smiled and answered Jang Sam-dong’s question.
“After 2008, smartphones will surpass feature phones and become the standard for mobile phones.”
Currently, only about 2 billion out of 6 billion people are using mobile phones.
Jang Sam-dong, who felt once again how enormous the scalability of this business was, slightly shook his dizzy head.
After that, the presentation continued for 30 minutes, and after the presentation was over, the conference room was completely silent.
And breaking the silence, someone stood up.
“Let’s take a 10-minute break and then get back to it, Charles.”
It was Larry Page with a flushed face.
Larry came out and took a deep breath in the hotel lobby.
The fragrant aroma of coffee wafting from the cafe.
People moving around busily in the lobby.
Larry felt it all with his body and walked forward.
Google hires only the smartest people in America.
Currently, similar businesses are being actively discussed at Google, but Kim Cheol-soo is still a few moves ahead.
‘If Google runs its own business… will it be possible to keep up?’
But then Larry Page shook his head.
This is because when MS installed Explorer as the default program, all other browser businesses almost collapsed.
It was clear that Mercury would be the same.
Mercury is installed by default on Android.
The chances of winning the competition were slim.
Moreover, the opponent was Kim Cheol-soo.
Even with all the so-called geniuses, it was impossible to follow the ideas that came out of Kim Cheol-soo’s head.
Not just Mercury.
Kim Cheol-soo even had Afreeca TV, which was a candidate for a competitive business.
Even Larry himself used it often.
But what was really attractive was that huge warehouses were installed around the world to handle all the goods in the world in one open mall.
I heard that Amazon was planning a business model like this, but hearing it from Kim Cheol-soo’s mouth, it was definitely a viable business.
Larry Page let out a long sigh, felt a headache coming on, and tapped his temple.
And then I picked up my phone.
– Sergey.
-What about negotiations?
– It’s in progress.
-··· Is that amount not enough?
Larry Page closed his eyes for a moment and thought of the number in his head a few times before erasing it.
– He doesn’t answer. Are you sleeping?
– sit down.
– What is it?
– ··· How much capacity do we have to invest?
Although he seemed calm, Sergei noticed that Larry was very excited.
– hey. What are you talking about?
– If you came here, you would have thought the same thing as me. Damn it! I just saw the future. Clearly with both eyes.
– Are you crazy? Are you here to see the future? Did they develop a time machine there?
– shit!
The people sitting in the cafe glanced at him because of the shouting, but Larry didn’t pay any attention.
– Hey, calm down. Don’t get excited.
– ··· I think we will have to close more than half of the businesses we are working on.
– what?
– It’s already a few moves too late.
– Does that make sense?
Larry sighed deeply.
– Missing Android was our biggest mistake. f*ck! Stupid board members!
Sergei’s voice, which had been silent for a moment, suddenly became serious.
– ··· How much do you need?
– entire! Gather as much as you can. From now on, we will go with Hanyoung General Trading Company. If we lose these guys, we have no future.
– Wasn’t it Afreeca TV?
– That’s a side note. The real thing was different. Gotta catch them both, dammit! Please send me a text message telling me how much investment capacity you can afford.
Sergei was also a quick-witted person and responded coolly.
– Okay, okay.
– If I make the same mistake with Android one more time, I will just leave Google on the spot.
Sergei’s calm voice rose slightly.
– hey! Why are you so scary?
fantasy, modern,
