The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

92. the beginning of a legend

Park Byung-jin, who had been unable to say anything for a while with his eyes wide open, soon came to his senses and began to roll his head.

Hoyeong waited patiently for him to open his mouth again.

“Do you smoke?”

“no. Unfortunately, I don’t get it.”

“Then I will excuse myself.”

Park Byung-jin also took out a cigarette and started smoking hard.

When Hoyoung said that cigarettes didn’t suit her body, it was a complete lie.

In my previous life, I was a serious smoker who smoked two packs a day at many times, but after returning, I had strictly abstained from smoking, so I always said this to people around me.

“What he said so far. How can I trust you? And I’m curious about their intentions. What is the intention of pushing us this far? No, why do you want to put your feet on the line like this?”

Park Byung-jin’s tone changed.

Until now, Heo Heo Sil-sil looked sharp and serious in his uncle-like appearance, which had been hiding his true face.

“Some of what I said is easily recognizable. The bank will guarantee that I have the amount to invest, and I can even call the Dell Korea branch manager about my relationship with Dell.”

At Hoyoung’s confident words, Park Byungjin looked straight into Hoyoung’s eyes.

Hoyeong looked at her eyes for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders and said.

“In the case of wafers… There is nothing I can say except believe.”

“Really, I’ve been rolling on this floor for over 10 years, and I’ve never seen anyone like you.”

Park Byeong-jin seemed to like Ho-young’s answer, so he went back to his relaxed appearance and laughed lightly before continuing.

“Then how long do I have to give you an answer?”

“Of course, the sooner the better.”

“So you mean there is no deadline?”

Hoyoung nodded slowly.

“yes. But I want you to always keep in mind that time is our most important asset.”

“All right. As you know, I am not a general manager. We will get back to you after talking to the executives.”

Park Byung-jin smiled and spoke, then drank his horse.

‘It looks like a raccoon.’

For Ho-young, who knew that he was the son of the founder, Park Byung-jin’s acting felt awkward.

A chance to grow the company you will one day inherit into a world-class company.

Ho-young thought he would never kick this opportunity.

“All right. Then, shall we stop talking about work and have a proper drink?”

“Are you okay now? Do you know how many drinks we have already had?”

“What is the use of all the alcohol you drank before? The alcohol you drink from now on is important.”

Park Byung-jin clenched his tongue at Ho-yeong’s sly answer, but soon poured makgeolli into the glass again.

“Haha, it’s been a long time since I’ve had fun, shall we? Are you going to make it through today?”

“yes. to the end.”

Hoyoung and Park Byeongjin had a good conversation while drinking alcohol.

It was long after the first car had passed by the time they went home that day.

.

After two weeks had passed since then, Hoyoung could hear only one answer.

‘Geongon’

It meant to risk the sky and the earth and leave it to chance to throw it once, and it was no different than saying that he would eventually accept Hoyeong’s proposal.

Hoyoung contacted Eric to raise the investment right away, while meeting Park Byungjin and signing a contract.

“older brother. Did you have a good night?”

“Oh, don’t talk. I couldn’t go to work that day after all.”

Park Byung-jin smiled and said.

It was Ho-young and Park Byung-jin who decided to treat each other at an all-night drinking party.

“There is one thing our executives are most concerned about.”

“What is it?”

“Wouldn’t fame find out and maliciously sabotage us? Do you know your brother? What is your reputation?”

Hoyoung nodded.

“If you can’t bring it to your side, it’s a place to destroy.”

“right. That is what we are most concerned about.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about your reputation for a while.”

“why?”

Park Byung-jin expressed his doubts.

Hoyoung’s words were not easily understandable.

“Right now, Myeongseong is focusing on their own research and won’t have time to look around. Do you remember what I said last time? What Myungsung Electronics is preparing for next year.”

“64 mega DRAM?”

“you’re right.”

Hoyoung smiled and then continued.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that there is probably no other year in the history of fame that has lasted for more than 30 years that focuses on research as much as this year. Now Myungsung Electronics is making a performance that goes back and forth between 6th and 8th globally. They need some kind of momentum to rise to the top.”

“You mean the title of the world’s first 64 mega DRAM?”

“That’s right. The title of world’s first brings several effects. The most important of these is the reliability of the product.”

Park Byung-jin nodded.

He understood at once what Hoyoung was saying.

There was only one reason for consumers to choose Myungsung Electronics’ semiconductor when there was NEC’s semiconductor, which is currently the world’s No. 1 in semiconductor sales, and Myungsung Electronics’ semiconductor.

However, as soon as the world’s first title is attached, Myungsung Electronics’ semiconductors are naturally packaged with semiconductors made by a company with technology enough to make the world’s first 64 mega DRAM, and as a result, the semiconductors made so far will gain momentum in sales. It was the natural order.

“Are you saying that we are literally fighting an all-out war to create the world’s first 64 mega DRAM?”

“yes. And that’s not all. Usually, the reason why companies disclose the project they are researching is to promote the company and attract investment by disclosing the project. But Anam doesn’t have to do that at all. You may conduct research in private until the wafer is complete. I will be responsible for the investment in technology development anyway.”

Park Byung-jin smiled and put his hand on Ho-young’s shoulder and put it on his shoulder.

“great. Now I have to tell the old people in our company. Let’s go in.”

“yes. Come in.”

Park Byeong-jin ran to his father as soon as the contract was over, so he decided to solve today’s meeting later.

“Director. Did your plan go well?”

“Fortunately, everything seems to be going well.”

“Congratulations.”

“thanks. Let’s go back to Hannam-dong today.”

“Do you have business at home?”

“It’s not like that, I want to rest at home today.”

“All right.”

Miru thought it was the first time he had heard Hoyeong say he wanted to take a break, but he thought it was funny to ask a person who said he wanted to rest why he was taking a break, so he didn’t bother throwing up.

After a while, they soon arrived at the house in Hannam-dong.

At that time, Miru and Hoyeong saw several men in work clothes pouring out of their Hannam-dong house.

“Who is it? Director. What have you been working on today?”

Hoyoung just laughed without saying anything.

As soon as Mi-ru entered the house, she found Ho-young’s mother sitting in the living room.

“mother.”

“Are you here with your son? Did you come early today?”

Mother welcomed them.

“mother. Where was the problem at home? What kind of work clothes were people leaving?”

“I don’t know? I thought it was because I heard that Hoyeong ordered it, too?”

When Miru looked back at Hoyoung, he saw that he was smiling.

“I thought the work would be finished in the morning, but it seems to have finished a little while ago. Aren’t you noisy?”

“yes. It wasn’t too loud.”

“Director. What have you been working on?”

“Do you know what device I installed on the 11th floor a while ago?”

“Isn’t that a wireless communication device?”

“yes. It’s called Wavelan. It is a work to install it in the study on the second floor. I heard that it had arrived at Incheon Port last night, so I asked for it to be installed right away. Now I can work wirelessly from home.”

Miru looked at Hoyeong in bewilderment.

“Didn’t you say you were going to come home and rest?”

“This is a break. What.”

Watching Hoyeong say it as if it were natural, Miru shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.

“You do as you please.”

.

Naturally, the reason why Hoyeong installed Wavelan was to create an environment where Gaia could access the Internet at home.

With this work, Hoyoung became the first person in the world to install home Wi-Fi.

“How is Gaia? Is the connection okay?”

“The connection is good. However, the speed is very slow compared to accessing from the Hermes Telecom 11th floor laboratory.”

“It still can’t be helped. Even if it is the same ADSL, it will be because the distance between the telephone company and the repeater is farther than the company. So, can you keep an eye on the trend?”

“All right.”

Hoyeong looked at the smart watch on her wrist with satisfaction and opened her laptop.

And then I fell in love with coding.

The upheaval of the mid-1990s is coming soon.

Over the mid-1990s, home PC hardware grew rapidly.

It was an era when a new technology was developed when you woke up one night, and when you woke up another day, the new technology was already a technology of the old generation.

Hoyoung knew very well that he would never be able to catch up with the current Chronos.

So, whenever I had time, I was gradually building the framework for the next-generation operating system.

“As expected, there’s nothing like this to clear your head, right?”

Hoyoung even hummed while developing it happily.

No matter what anyone says, coding was the most enjoyable game for Hoyoung and a way to relieve stress.

.

.

.

Two months passed as everyone was busy in their respective seats.

Meanwhile, ADSL started nationwide service.

At first, there was some noise due to a problem with the old telephone line, but Kim Joo-jung’s immediate response made it go without much fuss.

Instead of paying half of the cost of repairing the old phone line with Korea Telecom, Kim Ju-jeong consulted with Korea Telecom so that it could be repaired the next day after the reception was received.

And ADSL became a nationwide service, and it was the legend of the wind that was undergoing the second closed beta that became a hot topic in the market.

“What did you do to sleep at school like this?”

“The legend of the wind.”

“Wow! Did you win the second closed beta?”

“Since you won, you must have stayed up all night, right?”

“Can I try it today too?”

“Call me brother.”

“older brother!!”

The content of PC online games was enough to excite students and office workers across the country.

The legend of the wind is not only a blast within the Internet, but also spreads as word of mouth in the real world, playing a role as a driving force for the spread of PCs and the Internet in Korea.

“It is now the second day since the second closed beta started. Was there anything special about it?”

When Kim Jin-taek asked an employee of the development team 1, the employee said with a bright face.

“There are many opinions from users that the character balance and monster level design do not match. I think we should mainly do a balance patch by collecting those opinions.”

“Do you have any functional issues besides the internal issues of the game?”

“yes. None at all. In fact, it came out with such a level of perfection that it would not be inferior to an open beta right now.”

Kim Jin-taek also nodded with a bright face.

He thought his role as a developer was over.

There will be problems with balancing in the future, but this is because Gate’s game department has decided to take responsibility for both publishing and operation.

Kim Jin-taek sneaked out of the development team 1 and also came out of the H&H building.

Then I entered the Hermes Telecom building across the street.

He went straight to Hoyeong’s office on the top floor.

“Chief. Long time no see.”

“It’s been a really long time, too, chief. How have you been?”

Kim Jin-taek recognized Mi-ru, who was sitting at the table in front of Ho-young’s office door, and greeted her.

“Should I say I’m fine? I think I couldn’t go home for three days because of the legend of the wind.”

“I heard that the results are good. Anyway, what are you here for today?”

“I came to see Hoyoung. Are you inside?”

“yes. there is. please wait for a moment.”

Miru lightly knocked on Hoyoung’s room before entering and came out with Hoyeong’s answer.

“Come in.”

“thanks.”

Kim Jin-taek bowed slightly to Mi-ru and entered Ho-yeong’s room.

“What’s going on, senior?”

“Whatever it is, I came to see you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah, don’t you want to make a game? Of course, I also have to work, so I’ll start with a little bit after work. I thought the work would be finished much earlier if you said you were together.”

“A game, what game?”

“I felt this while making The Legend of the Wind, but instead of a casual game like that, I wonder what a dark and serious online game would be like.”

For a moment, Hoyoung seemed to have a flash of fire in her head.

Kim Jin-taek continued.

“The game concept is basically an MMORPG that becomes stronger by catching monsters and eating items like the legend of the wind, but I wonder what it would be like to make fights between people the main content. They divide their forces and go to war. And the game concept has already been set.”

“What about the game concept?”

“I went to a comic book store to cool off a while ago, and I found an amazing comic.”

Hoyoung predicted that the name of the legendary game would come out of Kim Jin-taek’s mouth now after several years.

And that prediction turned out to be right.

“This is a romance comic, but unlike a romance comic, it’s a comic about heroic stories. It’s Linise.”
