The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

37. conference(3)

Hoyoung continued to speak with more strength in the fact that the audience was slowly reacting.

“A true word processor shouldn’t be all about writing, changing fonts and changing their size.”

In addition to writing, functions such as figure drawing and table drawing were demonstrated on the screen.

“When creating a document, you can create a document that looks better when you use figures and tables together rather than text.”

A lot of people responded positively to Hangeul 2.0.

“Is that word processor really good?”

“If there is a table drawing function like that, I don’t think I will have to do the act of attaching a table to a document once printed.”

“I’d rather buy that word processor if I could buy it by itself.”

The presentation scene was heating up little by little.

“You don’t just need a word processor in the office, do you? We also provide spreadsheets.”

One cell was running on the screen.

“Even the spreadsheet?”

“I use spreadsheets more than word processors!”

Even after that, Hoyeong ran the chore of programs and gave brief explanations.

The audience reacted positively, admiring every time Hoyoung spoke, as if they had fallen in love with Hoyoung’s presentation before they knew it.

Then, suddenly, without realizing it, someone shouted loudly.

“for a moment! You haven’t turned off any other programs until now?!”

It wasn’t a very loud voice, but everyone around could hear it clearly.

Hoyoung said then.

“This is the end of our basic programs. I don’t know if some of you have noticed on the way here. At the beginning of my presentation, I did not explain how resource management is, how multitasking is, and so on. Because I thought it would be best to show it in person. everyone. This is true multitasking!”

The screen showed all the programs introduced so far running simultaneously.

“A program that is inactive in the background continues to live in the process, consuming very minimal resources. When multitasking, you no longer need to cycle programs on and off!”

At Hoyoung’s words, the audience sighed! shouted and cheered.

Showing off performance in this way at the presentation venue was a way that no one had ever thought of.

The reporters, who seemed indifferent at first, were taking pictures of Hoyoung and Screen with flashlights.

“Until now, PCs have been viewed from the perspective of business use. But I was worried. Is the PC really a work tool used only in the office? The conclusion I came to is ‘no.’ It was. PCs are the best work tools depending on how you use them, but I think they can also be the best home game consoles.”

Hoyoung flashed the cartridge expansion slot he had brought.

People’s attention was focused on the expansion slot.

“You may be wondering what this is. This thing is an expansion slot that connects to your computer and lets you plug in your megadrive pack. It is used by connecting to the serial port. If you use this expansion slot, Kronos becomes the most complete home game console.”

Everyone in this place exclaimed in admiration at the intuitive form of the expansion slot.

“If you buy that expansion slot, it means you don’t have to buy a home game console on a PC with Chronos installed!”

“Sega Games? I think you’ve heard the name?”

“Using a PC as a game console is a great idea. It’s a pity that the third party isn’t Nintendo!”

Even Hoyoung could feel the heated atmosphere.

he said with a good laugh.

“It doesn’t end here. We will briefly introduce the new game that can only be found on Kronos and Sega’s Mega Drive. This is Sonic the Hedgehog.”

An introductory video of the game prepared by Sega flowed on the screen.

Most of the people here were interested in electronics and were gamers at the same time.

They stared at Sonic’s introductory video in awe.

When the video and simple play video ended, a tremendous cheer erupted.

“What did I just see?!”

“Sonic? Hedgehog? Are you saying that blue animal is a hedgehog? Whoa ha!”

“What the hell is that sense of speed?! It was like watching Mario with an incredibly exciting way to proceed.”

“The characters came out really cute too! Where did such a game come from?!”

Hoyoung looked around the audience while appreciating the explosive reaction for a while.

While everyone got up excitedly and chatted about Kronos, only two men sitting in the front did not get up.

He even had a grim expression on his face.

Hoyoung knew the face of one of them.

He must be in his mid-30s now, but with a bit of exaggeration, he has a youthful face that can be trusted even if he is in his late teens.

Incredibly large glasses that take up half of the face.

It was Bill Gates.

Hoyoung looked at Bill Gates.

‘How is my presentation?’

Bill Gates had the illusion that he could hear these words from Hoyoung’s confident eyes.

He responded with a frown.

“for a moment. Are all these features provided when purchasing the Kronos operating system?”

“How many of them are on offer?”

“This, the price is not a joke? If the price is unbearable, it is like the bread in the picture after all!”

The audience all remembered the Macintosh System 3 released by Apple in 1985.

Macintosh System 3 was evaluated as the best OS in existence at the time, but it was thoroughly ignored by consumers because of the high price of thousands of dollars per package.

“The most important thing is the price. The price of the full-featured package of Khronos OS is only $99. And Kronos is an operating system that is always evolving. Of course, post-support such as updates will continue. However, in the future, we will bring you a new version with even better and innovative features. At that time, if you have a previous version of the package and return it to us, we will give you a 50% discount on the package price. After-sales support is also of the utmost importance to us. We are all like a family using Kronos together!”

After Hoyoung’s words were finished, there was a moment of silence.

I thought it was unrealistic because everyone stopped thinking for a while.

Then, from somewhere, clap-clap-clapping began to be heard.

And the sound of applause began to spread through the hall like wildfire.

“Wow! The best!”

“This price for this function! I will buy it right away when it comes out!!”

“The fact that this operating system does not require DOS is a huge advantage!”

The applause and cheers did not stop.

Hoyoung thought that the follow-up management program decided in a brief meeting right before the presentation had worked well.

When a new version is released, a 50% discount policy for bringing the old version may lower immediate operating profits, but it will be able to attract loyal and lifelong customers.

“Ah, just in case, of course, all of the Kronos features and cartridge expansion slots that I announced have been officially applied for patents. It is meaningless to go to the Korean Intellectual Property Office right now and try to file a patent. haha!”

Hoyeong’s joke-like words warmed the atmosphere.

but only one person.

Only the impression of Bill Gates has changed for the worse.

“And we, H&H, have an official partnership with Dell Computer. Kronos can be used on all computers, but if you choose Kronos when purchasing a computer from Dell Computer, you can enjoy the most comfortable performance!”

And with these words, the 14 minutes given to Hoyoung ended exactly.

Seeing the host’s attention, Hoyoung finally came down the stage after saying thank you and closing remarks.

The applause continued for a long time after he left the stage.

The audience gave an endless standing ovation.

“after-“

As soon as Hoyoung went down all the stairs at the back of the stage, his legs gave out and he sat down gasping for breath.

“It’s okay, Hoyoung!”

“It was really great. It was the best!”

Jin-chan and Won-shik ran to Ho-young within a month.

“Did the presentation go well?”

“Tell me what are you doing! Was it the best?!”

“Go outside now, everyone only talks about Kronos. Windows is long forgotten here.”

Hoyoung laughed at Jinchan’s words.

In fact, it was a fact that he felt through his reaction on stage.

However, it felt like my strength returned when I was confirmed with words like this.

“Where is it? Shall we quickly return to our booth now? There will probably be a lot of people coming to see the presentation.”

Hoyoung stood up and said.

When I went to H&H’s booth after a while, everyone was shocked.

“Is there a line already?”

“You mean all these people came to see Kronos?!”

There was an endless line in front of H&H’s exhibition booth.

It was because countless people who were impressed by Hoyoung’s stage rushed to H&H’s booth without even thinking about seeing the next presentation.

“CEO! Director! Don’t stay there, help us!”

At the words of an employee, the three came to their senses and ran into the booth to greet customers.

After the stage, Hoyoung felt as if his lost strength was returning.

He laughed, thinking of Bill Gates to himself.

‘Bill Gates. I won this time. It’s all thanks to your carelessness.’

.

.

.

“I lost this time. I ate one of these.”

“yes?”

When Jimmy heard what Bill Gates said, he was horrified inside.

Because it’s the first time I’ve ever heard Bill Gates say something like this.

“I… CEO…”

Bill Gates’ expression was so bad that Jimmy couldn’t find what to say.

“Nothing to worry about. As I said before, I only lost ‘this time’. There is no next.”

He was also manly, who is also called the incarnation of his competitive spirit.

Bill Gates has already started preparing for the next one.

“I don’t think there’s anything more to see, so shall we go back?”

“All right.”

They left the ECEC venue without looking back.

Bill Gates looked out the car window and analyzed the causes of today’s defeat.

‘I didn’t know that H&H prepared that much. It seemed that they had risked their life and death on this ECEC. But I figured if I could release an operating system that looked similar sooner, I would definitely win.’

Bill Gates’ announcement and the contents of Windows 3.0 weren’t bad.

It’s just that Kronos’ presentation was so outstanding.

‘It wasn’t a good time to do it. It was an urgent schedule to push Windows 3.0, which was originally scheduled to be released in May, to January. But… there is no next. Did I say Yun Ho-young?’

Bill Gates promised:

And I thought of Hoyoung, who was giving a presentation.

‘Jobs… He’s someone who reminds me of Jobs.’

Hoyoung giving a presentation was enough to remind me of Apple’s Steve Jobs.

He quickly brushed off his thoughts about Hoyoung.

What mattered to him now was not who made the announcement.

He thought about the outcome of ECEC, the future market reaction, and the actions Microsoft should take in that situation.

Bill Gates’ thoughts never stopped.
