vacation

“Vacation… … Hmm, you shouldn’t save money.”

I guess it’s a kind of compensation psychology.

At some point, I felt that way.

Living in extreme poverty in my teens and twenties has given me a spirit of frugality to the marrow.

Even when I buy a can of coffee, I look at the price tag, and I feel burdened if I spend more than a certain amount.

No matter how much money you had, splurge made you feel guilty.

It was good to have such a loving spirit, but considering the wealth he had now, there was a serious side.

Moreover, compared to the beginning of this year, the property has increased tremendously due to investment and business.

I wondered if it would be more beneficial to relieve stress even if I spent a lot of money.

‘money? I’ll try it out when I get a chance. It’s money that can’t be used up even if I spend it until I die.’

I wasn’t going to regret spending tens of millions of dollars on vacation.

I don’t know if it’ll go as well as I like.

“Are you really going to Southern Italy?”

Lee Jong-yeop asked with a lot of anxiety.

“You say you’re going for a bike ride to the Dolomites National Park? Of course it was a joke.”

“I’m so glad. Then France?”

“Well… … .”

I was planning a vacation with Lee Jong-yeop, but I wasn’t sure where to go.

“In France, the Prime Minister invited me.”

“Won’t you treat me well if I visit you? By letting me stay in a luxurious palace.”

“Are you going to let me enjoy it? You will have to attend a lot of events.”

“ah… … .”

Although I hate the event, Lee Jong-yeop hated it much worse than that.

In Korea, as the son of a member of the National Assembly, he had to participate in all sorts of political events.

“How about England?”

“I think there will also be trouble because of the event. If you get an invitation from the royal family, it won’t end there, it will fill up your schedule for several days. royal etiquette? You will have to learn all of that beforehand.”

“Europe should be completely excluded.”

I miss Seoul sometimes, but even if I go back to my home country, Korea, I could be tired because of the media.

It is not a vacation, but rather an extension of work.

I also went there a while ago.

“It is a precious vacation. I’ll have to leave Silicon Valley first. Let’s go to our new house on the south side of Los Angeles.”

“Yes, brother. It will be a wonderful place that you will love. We have all the furniture and appliances.”

first day of vacation.

I got on a plane and arrived in Los Angeles.

“You can come this way.”

I arrived at the mansion by driving for more than an hour in a car that the bodyguards had waiting for me.

Warm weather, clear skies and palm trees.

From the road to the mansion, the floor was covered with sky blue and blue stones.

I saw it in pictures, but it was a fantastic feeling when I came to see it.

The mansion, built high up in the mountains, overlooked the beautiful scenery of Laguna Beach.

“I can see the beach from the garden.”

“Yes. The views are absolutely stunning. Wealth is around here.”

“It’s good to have money.”

I watched the waves crashing from the far sea to the white sandy beach for a long time.

Looking at the view, I felt like I was in a top-notch hotel.

Of course, I was the owner of this mansion.

“If you live in a house with a view like this, you won’t get depressed.”

Admiration comes naturally when you enter the interior of the mansion.

The interior and luxurious decorations were full of luxury worthy of a movie.

There were 12 rooms, so some of the bodyguards could stay.

“If you like it and like it, I plan to purchase a house nearby as a lodging for the bodyguards.”

“Well… … .”

I would come once or twice a year if it was a vacation home, but I liked this house.

It was located around the big city of Los Angeles, so I could visit it for business related to the Earth Channel.

“okay. let me buy it.”

You can’t save money on safety.

That day, I rested well in a house with a nice view.

The bed and appliances were made by Lee Jong-yeop himself, and I liked it because it was soft and I slept well.

I didn’t ask for the price of the bed, but it seemed to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

“Lululu.”

Oh Myung-woo went to work at Earth Resource humming.

I’ve been busy in many ways, but I didn’t think of sitting in front of a computer and working.

‘Coding and creating a new world. It’s really exciting.’

The development of Earth Resources, which he started with his friend Shin Kim.

I also shared the phenomenal growth process, and what I liked most of all was the pretty female employees.

‘My company’s female employees are the prettiest.’

Smart and beautiful female employees.

I liked going to work dreaming of romance with them.

What is the pleasure of having a cup of coffee and talking with female employees after working while looking at the monitor for a long time?

‘Stupid boy. To leave this paradise behind.’

Oh Myung-woo couldn’t understand Kim Shin, who left on a plane.

Why do you need a vacation

If you want to rest, the best thing to do is to play games at home.

Or you can hang out with female employees at work.

“Welcome, Vice President.”

“Yes, Hanson. Good morning today.”

Myung-Woo Oh lightly exchanged greetings with the security guards and entered the company.

10 am.

Although the autonomous work system is in place, there are no staff compared to usual, so it was a surprisingly pleasant office.

Recently, there was even an Earth Channel division, and it was to the point of recognizing the company building.

“Whoops. Has everyone gone to work yet?”

Myung-Woo Oh sat down, turned on the computer, and started working.

Ride on!

The feeling of eating a morning hamburger and working.

Even around lunchtime, the staff only showed up for about half of their usual time.

The atmosphere was so gloomy that the office felt secluded.

“Rebecca, what’s going on? What special day is today?”

Oh Myung-woo eventually grabbed a nearby employee and asked why.

The 40-year-old woman said with a bitter smile.

“CEO Kim Shin went on vacation.”

“So what?”

“Starting today, most of the young female employees have applied to work from home.”

Many companies in California were implementing a telecommuting system voluntarily because of the corona.

“Oh My God.”

In the meantime, Earth Resources had a high attendance rate of employees, but it turned out that it was purely because of Kim Shin.

* * *

I slept late and woke up late.

I opened the window, looked out at the sea, breathed in the fresh air, and went to the restaurant.

“hello.”

“yes. It’s an honor to meet CEO Shin Kim. I will prepare the meal.”

We ate steak and lobster cooked by a chef dispatched from a luxury hotel in Los Angeles.

Even when I was working in Silicon Valley, I was relaxed, but I would call it a luxurious life.

“older brother. What will you do today?”

“Well. I was thinking of walking around the beach during the day and going to see the city in the evening.”

“Good. Let’s look around at ease.”

After eating, we headed to the beach.

As I walked down the mountain, luxurious mansions were built along the road, and I saw parked supercars.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Vehicles such as Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini were common.

‘There are really a lot of rich people in a place like this.’

Rather than admiring the rich, there was no choice but to compare them.

Comparing yourself to others is the beginning of unhappiness… … .

‘If you have a house and a nice car in a place like this, you must be rich enough to have at least 100 million dollars in property.’

100 million dollars is an amount that is hard to earn even for professionals in the United States.

For me, it was just the extent of investing according to the decision of the moment while doing business.

No matter who you compare yourself with, it’s a great thing that you don’t lose money.

“This way. older brother.”

I walked on the sandy beach of Laguna Beach.

Just walking while listening to the sound of the waves felt like the stress was relieved again.

I saw people who came to play with children, and people who enjoyed swimming in the sea and surf despite the chilly weather.

‘You live really hard.’

make money or be happy.

People thought everyone lived hard.

“Jong-yeop. Let’s get some rest.”

“Yes. older brother.”

I sat down on the sandy beach and took out my phone.

News articles that I have been looking for on a daily basis.

〈Earth channel’s subscribers surge, momentum that won’t stop〉

〈A stagnant cinema in the era of Corona, the illuminated Earth Channel〉

〈The OTT generational shift, the earth channel that fired a signal〉

The Earth Channel article was floating on the main screen of the news page to the extent that it was not necessary to look for it.

Even if you open the Korean app, the article of the earth channel is the same.

〈The power of a content powerhouse, sweeping the global market for Korean dramas〉

〈Octopus Game, watched by 23 million households in the US alone〉

〈Dream Art Rainbow revealed that it is currently producing more than 20 dramas〉

〈Single-person broadcasting streamers migrate to Earth Channel〉

Even just looking at the knights gave a satisfied smile.

It felt like I had opened the door to success.

‘When I was at the company, I was still nervous. After coming out on vacation, I can only enjoy seeing them.’

In the afternoon, I sent a call to Korea.

―Kim Shin: Hello. good morning. Vice President.

―Vice President Seon Jae-yong: Hello. haha. Isn’t it past 3pm in San Francisco now?

Korea at 8:00 am.

Since he was the vice-president of a heterosexual group who often came to America, the time difference was calculated quickly.

―Kim Shin: It’s not San Francisco, but that’s right.

―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Did you go on a business trip to another place?

―Kim Shin: I went on vacation to the suburbs of Los Angeles. It’s Laguna Beach.

―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: I’ve heard of it… … , I just looked it up and it seems to be close to Irvine. When I go to Los Angeles, I often stay at my house in Irvine.

Irvine was a wealthy village where many Koreans lived.

‘As expected, since they are rich, each region has a house.’

I have a lot of property, but I have a lot of real assets, so I have to learn a lot.

―Vice President Seon Jae-yong: I think there must be a reason why you deliberately contacted me.

-Kim Shin: Yes. With the success of Earth Channel, we are planning to place an order for an additional data center.

―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: You are always welcome. We are ready.

―Kim Shin: The company will send you a detailed business plan.

The Earth Channel’s success necessitated the creation of a large number of data servers.

Moreover, there was Eddie’s request.

The Earth Channel is making a huge hit all over the world, especially in Asia.

It is inefficient for subscribers to use data servers in remote areas due to delays.

There is an open connect method, using a data server in a nearby area.

It was to save frequently used content.

Earth Channel needs data servers in all regions, including Asia, Europe, and the United States, to ensure smooth worldwide service.

It is said that the number of Earth channel subscribers is exploding not only in Southeast Asia, but also in South America and the Middle East.

‘ah… … , He’s still working even when he’s on vacation.’

After sending a few texts while sitting in the sand, I looked around.

Lee Jong-yeop, who was next to him, was talking to the whole group of women before he knew it.

The way he leads the conversation with a smile while gesticulating enthusiastically.

Three women were laughing.

‘It’s a good time.’

After looking around blankly, Lee Jong-yeop approached them at the gesture of his hand.

“older brother.”

“yes?”

“I’m going to have a light beer. How would you like to do it together?”

It was a bright time because the sun hadn’t set, but it wasn’t bad because I felt like I was taking a break to have a beer at the beach.
