The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

55. Enemy’s Enemy is Enemy (2)

Jo Jung-sik, who heard Ho-yeong’s words, was initially taken aback by Ho-young’s words.

And when the embarrassment subsided, this time he spoke in an angry voice.

“Are you kidding me right now?”

“no. I’m not kidding. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

Jo Jung-sik glared at Ho-young.

A few seconds of silence followed.

After a while, the silence was broken by Jo Jung-sik’s laughter.

“ha ha ha! If you are a man, the distribution should be that much.”

Jo Jung-sik had a look of sincere satisfaction.

He nodded his head a few times to himself to see what he liked so much, then continued.

“I think the reason you said 500 billion is that you turned your refusal back.”

Hoyoung nodded slowly.

Even if Jo Jung-sik really prepared 500 billion won, he had no intention of selling it.

“I would have been disappointed if Mr. Hoyoung had accepted my proposal right away.”

“Disappointed?”

“yes. There is something else I really wanted to say. Mr. Yun Ho-young, would you like to try it with me?”

Hoyoung, who couldn’t understand what Jo Jung-sik was saying at once, showed a questioning expression on his face, and Jo Jung-sik continued.

“Whoops. I’m scouting Hoyoung now. We promise to treat you the best in the industry. Come under me.”

Hoyoung was silent for a moment.

Jo Jung-sik clearly thought that Ho-young was thinking about it.

“You have nothing to worry about. If you accept my offer, I promise to treat you like an executive at Myungsung Mulsan right now.”

“Thank you for thinking, but I will decline.”

“yes?”

“I like my position now. And I’m just a developer who doesn’t know how to do anything other than programming. I’m not Myungsung Electronics, so I don’t know what I can do when I go to Myungsung Products. You seem to have come to the wrong person.”

The reason Hoyeong didn’t say anything a moment ago wasn’t because she was thinking about accepting his proposal.

I was trying to figure out for a moment what the hell Jo Jung-sik’s intention was.

‘What, are you really 22 years old?’

Jo Jung-sik was quite taken aback by Ho-young’s relentless reply.

He scoured H&H before making his spot today.

He had his subordinates ask other H&H employees about Hoyoung, and tracked down Hoyoung’s activities.

As a result, he concluded that Ho-yeong was the right person for the plan he was thinking of.

He said that his development ability was so outstanding that all employees at H&H acknowledged him, and that he was also an excellent leader.

At the same time, he is polite, careful in everything, and the performance he showed at ECEC is to the point where I would never have thought he was the first person to stand on the stage.

Simply put, he was a near-perfect person.

‘Or is it young spirit?’

I also liked the young age of 22 years old.

It was because I thought I could sleep with him who was not fully matured yet.

However, Hoyoung reacted unexpectedly.

Until now, Jo Jung-sik had been in a position to choose people, but he had no experience of pleading for someone to come.

When he asked someone to join him, whoever he was, rather thanked him and came under him, so I thought Hoyoung would definitely show a similar reaction this time.

However, Hoyoung firmly refused, and logically even explained the reason for the rejection.

situation like this.

It was an unfamiliar situation to him.

‘this person. I want more.’

Greed flowed from Jo Jung-sik’s eyes.

It was like when you found an interesting toy.

“Let me explain in a little more detail. Just because you’re on the same boat with me, I’m not saying you should leave H&H and come into Myeongseong Products.”

“So what?”

“If I had to question it, let’s call it a concession. While working at H&H, you will receive the same salary, and Mulsan will pay you a separate executive-level salary.”

“Why are you even doing that?”

“The reason is that···”

Jo Jung-sik could not immediately answer Ho-young’s question and paused for a while.

“It’s hard to say why. If you say you are with me, I will tell you then.”

“Still, I need to know the approximate reason. If you can’t tell me what it’s about, I have only one thing to say. I will refuse.”

The furrow on Jo Jung-sik’s forehead deepened at Ho-young’s determined words.

“Hmm…”

Cho Jung-sik let out a quiet voice as if it was difficult to get his words out.

“I can’t help it if you don’t tell me until the end. I will wake up first.”

Hoyeong got up from her seat and tidied up her clothes.

Then, as I glanced at Miru, who was sitting behind me, Miru naturally stood up as well.

“for a moment. I can only tell you this. It’s called ‘competition’.”

Cho Jung-sik said calmly to Ho-young, who got up.

‘Perhaps···?’

Hearing the word competition, Hoyoung had something on his mind.

“Is it because of the competition with your younger brother?”

“…!”

At Hoyoung’s words, Jo Jungsik opened his eyes and looked at Hoyeong.

Seeing the change in his expression, Hoyoung thought to herself, ‘As expected!’

but never showed up.

“Then it will be even more difficult. I have no desire to board a ship that is sinking.”

“I beg your pardon?!”

At Hoyoung’s words, Kim Uichan jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“Yoon Ho-young! I thought I was polite by inviting you as a guest, but what do you mean now!”

“stop.”

“yes?”

Jo Jung-sik quietly raised his hand to stop the excited Kim Ui-chan.

“A sinking ship. what do you mean?”

“It is literally. I don’t think I have anything more to say.”

“Do you think I will lose in the competition with Namsik?”

“If you think about the current vice president’s situation calmly and objectively, you will come to a conclusion. Unless you are deceived by the words of the vassals who say that the vice president is right unconditionally. Then it’s really alright.”

Hoyoung left the room without looking back.

“Chief. I go right back to work.”

“Yep.”

There was only one reason why Hoyeong came here after hearing the name Jo Jungsik.

It was because he thought that through Jo Jung-sik’s suggestion to Ho-young, he might be able to infer the situation of the Myeongseong family to some extent.

Currently, Jo Jung-sik was in the middle of a fierce succession competition with his younger brother Jo Nam-sik.

The reaction and attitude he showed to Ho-yeong today showed that he was realizing that he was being pushed back by Jo Nam-shik.

‘Trying to use me with a knife to stab my younger brother.’

If Hoyoung’s prediction was correct, it was obvious that Jo Jung-sik would offer Hoyoung.

Using H&H, it is trying to thoroughly destroy the market share Myungsung Electronics is trying to take.

Currently, Myungsung Electronics’ IT team is only taking its first steps.

Even so, in the Korean market, it is growing little by little because of the name ‘Myeongseong’, but most of them have not even heard of the name in foreign countries.

At this time, it was clear that Myeongseong Electronics would not be able to hold out for long if H&H, which had gained fame thanks to Jo Jung-sik’s power, actively attacked Myungsung Electronics’ software.

‘A proposal that could benefit me in some ways. However, if he snaps at me at once, I may become his servant.’

In fact, it could have been an interesting proposal to Ho-young, but Ho-young scratched Jo Jung-sik’s pride and stood up.

The Jo Jung-sik he knew later, even after he was completely defeated by Cho Nam-sik, could not easily forget the feeling of defeat, and remembered that he retired from the business world and quietly spent the rest of his life.

And I remembered seeing an article that said that the sense of defeat was derived from an inferiority complex to a younger brother who had excelled since childhood.

‘Surely, I will be contacted again within a few days.’

Hoyeong thought that Jo Jung-sik would not step down.

I came to this promise to create a situation like this, but I didn’t expect it to succeed so easily in practice.

In the car on the way back to work, Hoyoung smiled with satisfaction.

.

Hoyoung’s prediction was correct, but only one was wrong.

‘I thought I’d get a call in a few days, but it’s today.’

Ho-yeong, who was about to leave after returning to work, couldn’t hide her absurdity.

A white sedan stood in front of H&H’s headquarters.

“Director Yoon Ho-young. Our Vice President said he would definitely like to talk to you one more time. Could you come with me?”

“Well···”

Hoyoung pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded.

“All right. Let’s go together.”

“Get on. I will see you.”

The driver Jo Jung-sik sent opened the back door and turned his palm inward.

“Wait.”

At that time, Miru stopped Hoyoung from getting into the car.

“I’m sorry, but it’s a problem when you go home later, so we’ll follow you with our car. Go ahead first.”

“… All right.”

The driver nodded and got into the white car.

Miru also quickly got out of the car and picked up Hoyeong.

The white car moved south.

Then I fell into Cheonggyesan Mountain, which is on the way down from Gangnam to Bundang.

The car heading toward Seongnam via Mt. Cheonggye stopped in front of a building that looked like a restaurant.

“You can go up here.”

The knight opened the door for Hoyeong and said.

Hoyoung looked around and went up the building, and Miru followed right after.

“Excuse me. Can I take a moment to inspect my belongings? Dangerous items, tape recorders, wiretapping devices, etc. cannot be brought in.”

When I went up to the second floor, the restaurant door was firmly closed, and two men in suits were standing in front of the iron door.

Hoyeong took out all the items from her pockets and showed them.

It was natural for them to think of Gaia as just a watch and move on.

There was nothing special about Miru.

“Sorry for the inconvenience. You may go in.”

kiik-

The thick iron door opened, and Hoyoung entered.

“restaurant···. There is no one.”

Upon entering the door, a large space came out.

It was like renting a restaurant.

“Hyoyoung. Here it is.”

Turning around at the sound of the call, Jo Jeong-sik was sitting in a corner.

“Where is this place?”

“This is my personal favorite restaurant. Coincidentally, I have a reservation for dinner tonight, so I told other guests not to accept any.”

Hoyeong stuck her tongue out at the chaebol’s extravagance.

To rent a restaurant just to have a meal.

“The bodyguard will prepare food for you at the table over there. Can we talk just the two of you?”

When Jo Jung-shik spoke, Mi-ru looked back at Ho-yeong, bowed her head, and went to another table to sit down.

“Why did you call me?”

Cho Jung-sik smiled and poured out a glass of wine he was drinking and handed it to Ho-young.

“slowly. Would you like a drink?”

Hoyeong drank a glass of wine without even smelling it and handed it to Jo Jung-sik.

Cho Jung-sik said while accepting the wine glass.

“There is no one around me who tells the truth. Everyone looks at me and only tells me what I want to hear.”

Hoyeong did not answer and poured a glass of wine into the glass Jo Jung-shik was holding.

“Do you think I will lose to my younger brother in the eyes of Mr. Hoyoung?”

“Are you honest?”

“I called because I wanted to hear about it.”

“For a while, there will be a lull like now. But in the next 10 years or so, the decision will come. It’s your brother’s victory.”

Jo Jung-sik frowned at Ho-yeong’s words.

“Why do you think that? I have a lot more affiliates now. And I’m the VP. Next year, the position of president of the company has been tentatively appointed. But Namsik is now the CEO. What do you see that I’m worse than her?”

Jo Jung-sik had an unfair expression.

Ho-yeong thought that the story about Jo Nam-sik was a complex for Jo Jung-sik.

“It can’t be said that it was the result of the vice president’s ability. The department in charge is too disadvantageous.”

“Is it a series?”

“Sungsung Electronics will develop remarkably in the future. In my opinion, in the future, even the combined market capitalization of all affiliates of Myungsung Group may not be able to beat the former one. Even if the Vice President succeeds in taking over all affiliates, there is no chance of winning the fight as long as the younger brother is in charge of the former.”

“Keuk…”

Jo Jung-sik made a sound of pain.

“My father always loved Namsik. If there was delicious food, Namsik would call it first, and he would always give the best toys to Namsik. And many years ago, when I first started my social life, it was the same. I also wanted to go to the former from the beginning, but until then, you were holding onto me, and Nam-sik hired me as soon as I graduated from college.”

As Hoyoung talked about Jo Jungsik, he thought that Heechang Jo’s decision was understandable.

Although he has a grudge against Jo Nam-shik, he has the best qualities for doing business.

His bold determination and perseverance to push through a decision once made like a bulldozer were the best as a businessman.

Although that personality angered Hoyeong in her previous life.

In addition, the character of not being afraid of adventure later created an opportunity to grow further by innovating once every time Myungsung Electronics was about to enter a slump.

‘Compared to Jo Nam-sik, Jo Jung-sik is too weak.’

However, Jo Jung-sik in front of him was very different from his younger brother.

Aside from the arrogance and arrogance inherent in being born into the second generation of a conglomerate, he was a person who lacked decisiveness and put safety first.

“However, I am the eldest son of the Myeongseong family. From a very young age, I lived thinking that fame was mine.”

In an instant, Jo Jung-sik’s eyes changed.

His bloodshot eyes, perhaps from drinking, were full of greed.

“Whether the target is my younger brother or not, anyone can never take away what is mine.”

“But, as I said before, the only way to get fame is to have the former.”

“Do you view Myeongseong electron that highly?”

“yes.”

Hoyoung nodded slowly.

Even in the next 20 years, Myungsung Electronics’ market capitalization will jump hundreds of times.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Myungsung Electronics played most of the role in raising Myungsung Group into a global company.

“Then, in the end, there are only two ways. Either I take it, or I destroy it.”

“As I said earlier, Sungsung Electronics has tremendous potential. If the electrons of reputation collapse, it is as if only a shell remains of reputation in the end.”

“Only the shell remains? haha. Even if not, what good is it if I don’t have it?”

Kwadeuk-

Cho Jung-sik clenched his fists tightly, turning his hands white.

Hoyeong looked at his fist and said.

“So what was the proposal you were trying to make to me?”

Jo Jung-sik looked at Ho-yeong’s face quietly.

An unknown face.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said to Hoyoung.

“Currently, Myungsung Electronics is divided into four business divisions: Home Appliance Division, Semiconductor Division, Wireless Division, and IT Division.”

“I know that too.”

“Recently, the business unit that my father has been watching the most is the IT division. The background of Nam-sik’s promotion to executive director is his father’s intention to grow the business by taking charge of the IT division.”

“So?”

“I will no longer ask you to come under me. let’s join hands with me They will steal inside information from the IT division, so they constantly interfere with the work of the IT division.”

Hoyoung laughed.

I thought that Jo Jung-sik used his hair quite well.

“The continued failure of the IT business will be enough to make Nam-sik lose his father’s trust. Then I’ll be climbing at that time. Then partner with H&H in my name and deliver the programs to our company.”

Cho Jung-sik said with a spleen look.

The conclusion was that he wanted to attack his brother.

“Then, in return, I will purchase all future software from H&H.”

Hoyoung did not answer him and passed another glass of wine.

“And, if this goes well, I’ll give you 5% of the electronics stake I will have.”

Now Hoyoung’s head was spinning faster than ever.

After thinking for a while, Hoyoung smiled as he came to a conclusion.

‘This, if I use Jo Jung-sik well, I’ll be able to drag Jo Nam-sik into the mud.’
