The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

56. Enemy’s Enemy is Enemy (3)

Jo Nam-shik was a difficult opponent for the current Ho-yeong.

But will it be easy to do in the future?

In fact, neither was it.

Even if Hoyoung grows with the help of Gaia and the knowledge of the future, Myeongseong Electronics will also grow terribly.

So it was necessary to walk one foot in the middle. However, he said that he would continue to walk, and the opportunity came to him on his own.

“Are you still short on explanations?”

Jo Jung-sik drank the wine like water, as if his throat was burning.

Hoyoung looked at Jo Jungsik like that and thought.

‘Jo Jung-sik will never be an opponent to Jo Nam-sik.’

He opened his heart to Ho-young, whom he had just met, and showed a weak side.

Also, the way he loses his cool while talking alone and gets excited and pours out all the stories inside.

Cho Jung-sik showed what a good businessman could never do.

‘That’s why it’s worth helping.’

Hoyeong smiled as she watched Jo Jungsik.

A tiger is a tiger, even if it is an immature tiger cub.

No matter how powerful a tiger fights, it will have the potential to inflict one wound.

“No. I fully understand what you mean.”

“Isn’t it? The moment I saw Hoyoung, I knew at a glance that we would be the best partners.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m just a developer. You can’t have that kind of ability.”

“haha. Hoyoung’s identity has been investigated to some extent. You seem to be underestimating my intelligence.”

It didn’t show, but Hoyoung was a little surprised.

his body.

“My true identity?”

“First of all, we already know that H&H’s practical work is led by Director Ho-Young Yoon. And that you have tremendous abilities.”

Hoyeong continued to listen to Jo Jung-sik’s words with a questioning expression on her face.

“And earlier this year. My man participated in ECEC in New York. There, I saw the director presenting ‘Chronos’. The appearance at the presentation venue at that time. Isn’t that what Hoyoung really looks like? There is no use hiding it.”

‘Did it really end there?’

Jo Jung-sik said as if he knew everything, and Ho-young thought to himself, “Well then.”

After seeing the announcement that Hoyoung defeated Bill Gates at ECEC, he guessed Hoyoung’s ability and influence at H&H.

As Hoyoung feared for a moment, his property situation and the identity of Gaia Investment were not connected.

‘Well, if I knew my assets, I wouldn’t have said anything outrageous about handing over H&H shares for 15 billion won. And Jo Jung-sik couldn’t investigate Gaia Investment in the first place.’

The United States has strictly managed personal information since the late 1970s.

It was almost impossible for Myeongseong, a Korean company and not an American company, to access the information of an American company.

And Gaia Investments was, strictly speaking, an American company.

“I can’t help it.”

Hoyoung shook his head as if he was embarrassed.

Seeing Hoyoung like that, Jo Jungsik’s expression brightened.

“All right. I will support you from behind so that the vice president can go on his way comfortably.”

“Also! Did I tell you earlier? We will be the best partners.”

“However, there are a few conditions.”

“Condition?”

Jo Jeong-shik hesitated as he tried to hold Ho-yeong’s hand.

“First of all, you must trust me unconditionally in your future work. Please do not interfere with what I am doing and just trust me.”

“No, I get it.”

“Second, this contract is not between H&H and Myungsung Products. Thoroughly person-to-person. In other words, it is a contract between the Vice President and me. And finally, in the third fight between the two of you, H&H and I will never come to the fore. Externally, please make it clear that H&H is a company contracted by Mulsan, and I am just a person who does what the vice president tells me to do.”

It was important that Hoyoung and H&H did not come forward.

If Jo Nam-shik or Jo Hee-chang, the current owner of Myeongseongga, took notice of H&H and tried to break it down thinking that he was shaking his eldest son’s hair, H&H still had no strength to endure.

“Such conditions are natural. No, it would be better for my father to see me taking the lead.”

“Then you will know that.”

Hoyeong and Jo Jungsik started talking about short-term plans for the future.

“The Myungsung Electronics IT team is doing something stern from my point of view.”

“Are you serious?”

“I prioritize things like making word processors and educational software. It’s a situation where you’re only trying to achieve results in a situation where you don’t even have the basics.”

“Ohhh…”

Hoyoung could roughly guess how the situation was going.

Jo Nam-sik was a perfectionist.

He was a person whose intellect could be solved only when he thoroughly corrected his failures.

Jo Nam-sik, who had been on the verge of victory throughout his life, experienced only two failures in his life.

‘It’s because of the education computer supply and software supply business.”

Coincidentally, both cases were related to Hoyeong, and the reason why Namshik Cho was so eager to recruit talent to the IT team was because of his inability to lose.

“So, first of all, Yun Ho-young has something to make.”

Cho Jung-sik called the secretary who was at the table far away.

The secretary took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Hoyeong.

“What is this?”

“These are the blueprints for the new printer I got this time.”

“A blueprint?”

Hoyoung was genuinely surprised this time.

I didn’t know Jo Jung-sik would come out so aggressively.

“Actually, I only carried this with me, but I had no intention of giving it to you today.”

“Then why are you giving it to me?”

“Because I have to start as soon as possible.”

Jo Jeong-sik grabbed Ho-yeong’s arm.

He seemed a little drunk, as if he had already drank quite a bit of wine before Hoyeong came.

“Even at this moment, I feel like Namsik is catching up.”

Jo Jung-sik’s expression, unable to control his emotions, shook.

“Do you know why I came to trust Hoyeong?”

Cho Jung-sik drank another glass of wine and continued.

“Because you’re the second person to tell me I’m going to fail.”

“What is that…?”

“Do you know who the first one is?”

“Who are you?”

“Father. My father always has something to say to me. I am not the king’s lumber.”

Hoyoung almost laughed.

Chairman Cho Hee-chang was so arrogant.

It seemed that he used to compare the chairmanship of Myeongseong to the king as if it was natural.

But that wasn’t the point.

“The more my father said that, the more I distanced myself from him. Instead, I only hung out with people below me… They only tell me what I want to hear…”

Jo Jung-sik couldn’t speak any more, and Ho-yeong didn’t hesitate to answer.

‘A huge sense of inferiority. But he’s a lot smarter than I thought.’

Hoyoung slightly modified his evaluation of Jo Jung-sik.

A little while ago, he thought Jo Jung-shik was just a typical chaebol second generation who grew up in a greenhouse.

I thought the greed of destroying rather than being taken away by my younger brother was one of the typical chaebol’s mindset.

However, Jo Jung-sik, whom I had a conversation with today, had many parts that matched his expectations, but there were also many things that were wrong.

‘For now, I’m not greedy for money.’

The one-dimensional greed for money that people have is simple but powerful.

In fact, many of the first-generation chaebols who built the current conglomerates were people who liked money, which was not enough to be called a miser.

In a way, Jo Nam-shik could also be said to be a slave to money.

No matter how much wealth he has accumulated, he wants more than that.

So, Hee-chang Jo may have favored Nam-sik Jo, who has similar tendencies to him.

‘What Jo Jung-sik wants… is Cho Hee-chang’s approval?’

Hoyoung decided that this was the reason Jo Jungsik wanted to gain fame.

To have his father’s everything and receive his father’s approval.

“This printer is the first draft of a printer blueprint that we plan to build in the second half of this year. Let me ask you one question here. Can you make software for this printer from these blueprints?”

“I can make it.”

“Whoops. I knew you would answer that. This printer, which comes out at the end of this year, will be the first printer made with Myungsung’s technology, with our semiconductor.”

Hoyoung took a rough look at the blueprint.

A clunky looking printer.

This was the beginning of electronic devices using semiconductors from Myungsung Electronics.

“So, we plan to use our own software this time as well. That will be the first and most important task for the IT team.”

“At that time, if we create better software than the IT team of Myungsung Electronics and get it adopted, the IT team’s efforts for several months will be in vain.”

“Yes.”

“However, I know Chairman Cho Hee-chang as a person who spares no investment and support for the growth of internal business. If the software created by the Myungsung Electronics IT team is not really bad, you can adopt the software created by the IT team.”

“You know exactly.”

Concerned by Hoyeong, Jo Jungsik frowned slightly thinking of his father.

There have already been several precedents of repeatedly using and consuming low-quality domestic machines to improve technology and eventually localize them.

“I will establish a new IT division in Mulsan as soon as possible.”

“The IT division?”

“yes. There are enough reasons. Do you know what affiliate I am in charge of?”

“I know about product and life, securities and finance.”

Cho Jung-sik nodded.

At that time, Hoyoung said as if she realized something.

“So, are you using a PC for that task?”

“We are slowly introducing it. We plan to slowly increase the usage.”

“Then, hurry up by introducing a PC.”

“You also think so.”

Jo Jung-sik grinned at Ho-young’s words and continued.

“When you start using a PC for work in earnest, there comes a situation where you need software to manage the PC or use it. With that in mind, we are creating an IT division.”

“At that time, like the second condition I mentioned earlier, it was not a contract between H&H and Myeongseong Products, but thoroughly individual to individual. In other words, as a contract between the vice president and me, what if I make the software for the printer myself and hand it over?”

“At that time, you should submit it to your father as if it were the result of the IT division, not Hoyoung’s name.”

Cho Jung-sik applauded Ho-yeong’s words! and hit

“Culsan’s IT team is famous anyway, right?

“That’s right. It is not a battle between external and internal companies, but between internal departments. If that happens, the president will also choose a better-made software with a happy heart.”

“If that happens, software that is better than the one made by the IT team will have to come out.”

Hoyeong laughed at Jo Jung-sik’s concerns.

“You mean the quality of the software? If you’re concerned about that, you can’t work with me. What was the first condition?”

“Believe unconditionally…”

“you’re right. Trust me unconditionally.”

Hoyoung’s expression was confident.

“good. Let’s think of this printer-related job as a kind of test for Hoyeong.”

“A test?”

“I can’t believe Hoyeong’s words unconditionally, can’t I?”

“Yes.”

Hoyoung liked Jo Jungsik’s words.

“what if···. If you pass this test, I am willing to hand over something huge.”

“What is?”

“A blueprint for a cell phone.”

“Cell Phone?!”

Ho-young screamed in surprise.

“Of course, this is a story when you pass this test.”

Jo Jung-sik laughed afterward.

He seemed to think of Hoyoung as nothing but a long term horse.

Hoyeong laughed at the Jo Jung-sik.

“Don’t worry. If there was a problem with the quality, I wouldn’t have shown myself so confidently.”

Hoyoung smiled.

For some reason, Jo Jung-sik saw Ho-yeong’s relaxed smile and felt a slight sense of trust.

.

.

.

After Ho-young leaves the restaurant.

Jo Jung-sik was still drinking wine.

“Vice President, you drank a lot. Now, a little alcohol…”

“I’m going to drink, but are you stopping me now?”

“It’s not…”

Unlike when he was talking to Hoyeong, Jo Jung-sik didn’t look so drunk.

“It’s okay. You said it because you thought of me too.”

“Vice President…”

“Keep a close eye on Yoon Ho-young’s movements. Report everything he does.”

“all right!”

Jo Jung-sik seemed to open his heart to Ho-yeong in front of him, but in fact, that was not the case.

He is said to be pushed behind by Jo Nam-sik, but he is also the eldest son of Myeongseong-ja, who has learned royal studies since childhood.

He knew very well when he would be able to see the true face of a person.

“A test within a test. I want to see how great a person he really is.”

Cho Jung-sik emptied another glass of wine.

I was very drunk today.
