The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

63. Grab your mobile communication skills!(3)

After the first meeting with Irwin, Ho-young stayed in a hotel in New York and enjoyed a vacation.

When it comes to vacations, there is hardly any time to be idle, and most of the waking hours are spent coding, but Hoyoung liked it.

It’s already been three days since I came to the hotel.

As Hoyeong spent leisurely time eating, drinking, and coding, it was Procrastination that made her nervous.

Even now, Hoyoung was spending time leisurely sitting in the hotel lounge.

“Director. Can I stay here like this?”

“sure. What are you worried about? I said vacation. I have no intention of stepping out of that hotel, so please come and take a look outside.”

“Hmm… Shouldn’t we go and try to convince Irwin again?”

“haha! Do not worry. You will be contacted soon. I don’t know exactly when, so I’m just waiting like this. And today I have a guest who will come anyway.”

“Who is that?”

“He is someone I know very well.”

“Who the hell…”

Then Hoyeong raised her hand towards the entrance.

“Here he comes. Here it is.”

At the entrance to the lounge, a large white man walked in wearing a tight-fitting black T-shirt and cargo pants.

After confirming who the person was, Miru forgot for a moment that this was a public place and screamed.

“Oh My God! Brian?”

“hey. Procrastinate! How have you been? Hey, the Shinsoo has become very clear?”

“I was doing really well. Brian is… Do you think it got bigger?”

Listening to Miru’s words, Brian playfully strengthened his arms to show off his muscles.

“I’m glad you see it! I’m busy with weights these days.”

“Wow. Huge? Oh, this is not it. What did you come here for?”

“haha. I came to see my boss.”

“boss? Brian! After all, did you join the mafia?”

Brian burst into laughter at Miru’s nonsense.

Hoyoung, who was listening next to him, also laughed out loud.

“My new boss is Mr. Yoon. hey Procrastination.”

Brian’s words left Miru dumbfounded.

“Director. What do you mean?”

“It is as he said. I hired Brian.”

“I heard that you never step out of the hotel, are you planning to go somewhere dangerous?”

Watching Miru speak seriously this time, Hoyeong smiled again and said,

“no. To be precise, it is an acquisition, not a hire.”

“yes?”

“I took over the entire security company that Brian is affiliated with. And the acquired security company was converted into a security company, and H&H America decided to hire all of them as a security team. Brian is the leader of my new security team.”

At Hoyoung’s explanation, Miru nodded.

“When did you start working? I really had no idea.”

“It was done secretly from Korea because I wanted to give a surprise on purpose.”

“no wonder. I was really surprised.”

Brian and Miru happily shook hands after meeting for the first time in many years.

“Then, after all, they turned around and ended up belonging to the same group.”

“right. I don’t know how many years it has been, and now we belong to different groups.”

As Brian said, procrastination was no longer just a security guard.

Although he was still in the role of a road manager who manages Hoyoung’s schedule, he was the head of the H&H secretary’s office.

“What does that matter? manager.”

“haha. It’s important though. Chief Secretary.”

Miru and Brian playfully called each other by their titles and then laughed hahaha.

Hoyoung also looked at the two of them happily and opened his mouth.

“good. I was worried about what would happen if the two of us met after a long time and it was awkward, but it was a useless worry. So Brian. Shall we talk in detail about what we need to do now?”

“all right. I came all the way here to tell you that story.”

Hoyoung and Brian started talking seriously again, and Miru also listened to Hoyoung and Brian’s conversation in a playful manner.

About two hours passed, and after the conversation, Hoyoung happily held Brian’s hand.

“Then, good luck in the future. In addition to the security for the building we just talked about, please be active in guarding personnel.”

“yes. It’s something I’ve been doing all my life. I won’t let you down.”

Seeing Brian slightly lowering his head, Hoyoung felt infinitely reassured.

“Should I go first until the number of dispatched personnel is decided?”

“no. You don’t even need to do that. For a while, procrastination is enough in Seoul.”

In Korea, of course, problems could have arisen, but Seoul was one of the cities with a fairly low crime rate when viewed globally.

In particular, Hoyoung has been trying hard not to let people know that she has a lot of money.

It was a pointless scratch to go around bragging about money.

There is a possibility of being involved in a crime in the worst case, from a person approaching if there is even a hair-like relationship.

‘Even because of the car Jo Jeong-sik gave me, it will be more and more difficult to hide money from now on.’

So, Hoyoung decided to thoroughly prepare.

As early as next month, the security company Hoyoung acquired in the United States decided to send some talented people.

So, until then, I thought we should be a little more careful.

Hoyeong thought that even taking over the security company was a good thing.

It was Hoyoung who had already promised to make safety his number one priority wherever and whenever.

.

Two days after Brian came to the hotel.

Hoyeong stayed in the hotel room for two days and finally went down to the lounge today.

When Hoyoung arrived at the lounge, the man who was waiting for him jumped up and said,

“hello? How have you been?”

“Even if it’s been so long, isn’t it only five days?”

“that···. That’s right.”

The man standing in front of Hoyoung was Erwin of Qualcomm.

He couldn’t meet Hoyeong’s eyes as if he had committed a crime.

“I was going to leave America tomorrow, but how did you come back to me?”

“Since that day, the founders of Qualcomm have all gathered and had a thoughtful conversation.”

“So?”

“50% condition. I will accept it.”

Irwin said with a spleen face.

However, Hoyoung said with a fishy smile on her lips.

“I can’t do that now.”

“yes?”

“In capitalism, it makes sense that prices change over time. At the time, I thought I could accept up to 50%, but now I don’t think I can just accept that.”

Irwin’s expression hardened at Hoyoung’s words, but he soon loosened his expression again and said.

“Then how much more do you want your share?”

“What I want is not a stake.”

“So what?”

“I want two additional conditions. First, if the company I run starts a communications network business and uses CDMA or the next-generation technology to be developed in the future, please exempt the royalty in full.”

“Once I know. What is the second condition?”

“I will take 80% of the royalties from Asia. As for the stake, I would have to take 50%.”

Hoyeong’s words deepened the furrow between Erwin’s eyebrows.

After a moment of thought, he struggled to open his mouth.

“Are Europe and America excluding Asia not applicable?”

“yes. I will not aim for that area other than 50% by equity.”

“Okay… Can I call you for a minute?”

“Please take it slow.”

Irwin left, and Hoyeong thought about why Erwin approached him in such a low profile.

‘Probably from the Communications Association.’

The American Telecommunications Association would have told Qualcomm to set up a position in Dallas next year and demonstrate the technology at the same time as Motorola, as Hoyoung told Qualcomm.

And, using Irwin’s personal connections in the industry, you’ll also learn why the Telecommunications Industry Association hasn’t adopted CDMA as a standard technology.

‘Irwin’s biggest emotion must have been fear as he saw everything agree with what I said.’

Hoyoung planted anxiety in a conversation with Irwin the other day.

It was true that Qualcomm was being bullied in the US market, to put it simply.

Due to pressure from Motorola and the Telecommunications Association, it was highly likely that AT&T also withdrew its promise to invest in TDMA if it was researched.

Irwin must be thinking that if he does not take Ho-young’s outstretched hand, he will not be able to showcase CDMA technology to the world and will have to close the business.

The conditions Hoyoung put forward were conditions that might seem a bit unreasonable.

However, Hoyoung thought they would accept.

No matter how bad the conditions are, it’s better than closing the business.

Hoyoung calmly waited for Irwin.

“The talk is almost over.”

Then Irwin returned.

Hoyeong had no choice but to wake up from her thoughts.

“You worked hard. What do the executives say?”

“I decided to accept Hoyeong’s proposal as it was. Instead, the prevailing opinion was to negotiate a good price.”

“It’s a price negotiation. How much are you thinking about?”

“Thirty million dollars…. How are you?”

“All right. Let’s buy a stake for $30 million.”

Irwin looked rather bewildered when Hoyoung readily agreed.

“Are you making that decision right away?”

“yes. I was thinking about that much as well.”

In fact, it was Hoyoung who was willing to pay even 50 million dollars.

Irwin felt uncomfortable as if he had suffered a loss when Hoyeong agreed at once.

“Thank you anyway.”

“no. I’m grateful. Then, would you like to come here again tomorrow afternoon? I’ll call one of my professional lawyers, so let’s slowly draw up a contract.”

“yes. All right.”

“Money will be paid directly in the name of Gaia Investment immediately after signing the contract.”

“thank you. And I wish you well in the future.”

“yes. I wish you well too.”

Irwin shook hands with Hoyeong and went back.

Even after he left, Hoyoung ordered a glass of whiskey from the bartender and continued to sit in the lounge.

Slowly he thought of things in the future that Irwin could never know.

one month later.

Qualcomm gets a call.

At first, a Qualcomm employee thought it was a prank call and ignored it several times.

At that time, in order to participate in the development of the 2nd generation mobile communication technology, Motorola first proposed the development of next-generation mobile communication technology, but even a reply was not returned.

In the meantime, Dr. Lee Ung-won of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, impressed by Qualcomm’s New York technology demonstration, which Ho-yeong also participated in, persuaded the researcher to jump into the development of CDMA technology.

‘The beginning was good, but unfortunately the end is not good.’

Qualcomm will be in charge of core technology, and Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute will be in charge of research funds and manpower, and will successfully commercialize it in the Korean market.

However, Korea, which was too complacent in writing the contract, was not guaranteed the rights to CDMA at all, despite developing and developing the lacking parts together, and eventually had no choice but to pay a large amount of royalties to Qualcomm every year. .

“But this time it will never happen.”

In this life, Hoyoung took a whopping 50% of the shares, and in addition, since the Asian region was under Hoyoung’s jurisdiction, there was no way that Qualcomm would abuse power.

Hoyeong happily passed the whiskey.

‘If we finish our contract with Irwin tomorrow and go back to Korea the day after tomorrow, let’s propose a CDMA technology partnership to the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute first.’

Hoyoung’s active attitude will further accelerate the commercialization of mobile communications in Korea.

And Hoyoung remembered another plan.

He had no intention of sitting around receiving royalties while commercializing CDMA technology in Korea.

Mobile phone business suitable for next-generation technology.

This was the real reason Hoyoung wanted to commercialize CDMA in the Korean market in advance.

When CDMA technology is still unfamiliar, the first thing to do is to develop a mobile phone and preoccupy the market.

That was Hoyeong’s true plan.
