The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

94. two bosses

“Congratulations. Don’t worry about PC and software-related businesses in the future. I will help with both my heart and soul. Yes. There is nothing good about being caught contacting me in the current situation. Please contact me slowly. Yes. Congratulations again.”

Hoyoung hung up the phone with Jo Jungsik.

Cho Jung-sik announced to Ho-young that he was entering the electronics industry in an excited voice.

Hoyoung was also surprised to hear the news at first.

It was because I never imagined that Jo Hee-chang would make such a greeting.

“Let’s think about it calmly. Why did Jo Hee-chang make such a decision…”

Hoyoung calmly began to think.

Everyone in the world already knew that Jo Hee-chang favored his youngest son, Jo Nam-shik.

Recently, Jo Jung-sik has been showing an excellent appearance, but I thought that the situation was not yet to the point where the favoritism towards Jo Nam-sik collapsed.

“Then, there is only one conclusion… It is to stimulate Jo Nam-shik.”

After thinking for a long time, Hoyoung came to a conclusion.

And, at the same time, I thought that Jo Hee-chang was a person who could never be ignored.

“You already know that even if all other businesses do not go well, you can become a world-class company if you grow one semiconductor.”

The best companies in Korea were not founded simply because of luck.

Cho Hee-chang, he too, had an eye for the future that was incomparable to that of criminals.

Hoyoung smiled.

However, no matter how good Cho Hee-chang and Jo Nam-sik were, they did not really see the future.

In other words, no matter how hard he tried to predict the future, he couldn’t predict it as accurately as Hoyeong.

and.

Hoyoung was clearly aware of this.

The fact that a person who knows the exact future has a lot of room to take advantage of someone who knows the future.

weeks go by

The inauguration ceremony was held at the head office of Myungsung Electronics in Suwon.

All employees working at the head office, executives at some factories, and employees of major customers participated in the inauguration ceremony.

“Now, in the next order, there will be inauguration speeches from newly inaugurated presidents. First of all, let me tell you about CEO Nam-sik Cho. Everyone please greet the president with a big round of applause.”

As Cho Nam-sik walked to the microphone, the staff applauded generously.

In fact, Jo Nam-sik also felt happy inside.

It was the moment of inauguration as president that he had longed for.

But I couldn’t help but be happy.

I glanced back and saw his older brother clapping with a relaxed expression.

‘adjustment. It won’t go your way.’

Jo Nam-sik already thought of him as an enemy, not as an older brother, as he greedily ran to take his belongings.

“Dear Myungsung Electronics family, This is Jo Nam-sik. Today is the day that I have always dreamed of doing something. As much as we have been with you until now, we will continue to show a good image in the future.”

Cho Nam-shik looked back at the audience once.

Employees were grouped together in their respective business units.

Nam-sik Cho looked around the PC division, the home appliance division, the mobile division, and the software team that had returned to electronics from Mulsan as if he were trying to catch his eye.

“As we have always done, we need a lot of help from you in order for us to develop. Let’s keep walking together in the future. That is all. thank you.”

Jo Nam-sik emphasized the word ‘together forever’.

It was a tone that seemed to engrave to all the employees of Myeongseong Electronics who they would be with for the rest of their lives.

The staff seemed to be able to feel the meaning of Cho Nam-sik, but no one applauded and froze even after the inaugural address was over.

There was a few seconds of silence, but everyone felt a freezing sensation.

clap clap clap-

What broke the silence was someone’s applause.

The applause was none other than Jo Jung-sik, who was waiting to give his next inauguration speech.

Jo Nam-sik glared at him for a moment, and the audience began to applaud Jo Jung-sik to wake up and applaud.

“all···. Next, there will be an inaugural address from the newly inaugurated CEO Jo Jung-sik.”

As the moderator stuttered as he spoke, Jo Jung-sik walked towards the podium with leisurely steps.

“Ah, ah, can you hear me? Dear Myungsung family, I’ll keep it short so it’s not too long.”

Cho Jung-sik smiled and then continued.

“Who are we? We are the prestige. Make the name of fame great. That’s my motto. Not the best company in Korea, but the best company in the world. That’s my goal. Let’s all move towards the best in the world. That is all.”

Jo Jung-sik finished his short and bold inaugural address and then went down from the podium.

The inauguration speech of Cho Jung-sik was impressive, and the staff responded well and the inauguration ceremony was concluded.

“Boys, we’re both the presidents of Myeongseong Electronics now, so shall we have a meal?”

Jo Jung-sik stopped Jo Nam-shik from leaving the auditorium.

Instead of answering, Jo Nam-sik glared at Jo Jung-sik.

“hey. why is this so scary It’s not that I’m going to eat anything, it’s that I’m asking for a meal.”

“Now hyung, do you think I’ll skip the rice while looking at hyung’s face?”

“Then what’s not going to happen?”

Jo Nam-sik glared at Jo Jung-sik, who fluttered, then turned his back and walked away.

“president. Shall we tell him to bring CEO Nam-sik Cho?”

“Nope. done.”

Jo Jung-sik smiled.

No matter what anyone says, he was the winner of the day.

“ruler. First of all, the head of the PC division and the head of the software division. And tell the heads of the mobile division to come into my room.”

“You mean right now?”

“okay. right now.”

Jo Jung-sik also happily left the auditorium and headed to the headquarters office.

After waiting in the office for a while, several men knocked and entered his office.

“president. I heard you called.”

“Is everyone here? Please sit here.”

They were the heads of each business division whom Jo Jung-sik called a moment ago.

Jo Jung-sik asked his secretary to serve the tea and he sat down on the sofa as well.

“ruler. Are we a family from now on?”

“That’s right.”

“you’re right.”

Jo Jung-sik smiled as if he liked the way the answer came out immediately.

“ruler. First of all, since today is the first day, shall we decide the future business direction?”

“Yep.”

“First, the PC division.”

The head of the PC division corrected his posture and sat down.

In fact, he was one of Jo Nam-shik’s henchmen.

It was because Cho Nam-sik was the PC division that he wanted to save so much, so he couldn’t put any employees in it.

‘What the hell are you talking about?’

The head of the PC division was worried about what Jo Jung-shik would say.

The relationship between Jo Jung-sik and Jo Nam-sik was so famous that everyone in the group was well aware of it.

That’s why he thought Jo Jung-sik would not leave the PC division alone.

“First, the PC division will stop developing its own PC.”

“yes?!”

The head of the PC division jumped up from his seat.

“ah···. sorry. Could you please elaborate a bit more?”

“It is literally. I plan to stop developing PCs and proceed with all sales through OEMs from now on.”

“…….”

The head of the PC division could not give an easy answer.

“Did you not hear me?”

“Oh, no. I···. That is, the mid-term plan for the PC business has already been set up by 1994, and the R&D team is working hard accordingly. Technology transfer from Dell Computer is progressing step by step…”

“You think it’s because I don’t know that?”

“ah···. that is···.”

As Jo Jung-sik hardened his expression, the head of the PC division flinched.

“Dell Computer is the place to go for that OEM.”

“yes?”

“Isn’t our current sales method no different from OEM?”

“you’re right.”

“If we sign an OEM contract and officially import it, the unit price will be much cheaper.”

Jo Jung-sik’s words had some truth.

Now, the relationship between Dell Computer and Myungsung Electronics was tantamount to selling Dell Computer’s computers in exchange for technology transfer.

“Then technology transfer…”

“My guess is that there is absolutely no need to build a stand-alone PC. If you make sure you have an OEM contract, contact Dell Computer and at the same time contact other computer builders to compete, the price will not fluctuate too much.”

“Then how should I report to the group?”

“There is no need to report separately. Because the conversation with the president is over.”

“…… All right.”

It was said that the story with Jo Hee-chang had already been completed, but there was no situation where a manager could not throw up.

“Next is the head of the mobile division.”

“Yep.”

The head of the mobile division smiled.

He was Kim Kyuhyun.

He was demoted by Cho Nam-sik and sold to Shinbi Communications, but this time, Jo Jung-sik was inaugurated as the president of Electronics and was reassigned as the head of the mobile division.

“I understand that our company maintains a covert connection with the mysterious communications. Is that correct?”

“you’re right.”

Kim Kyuhyun nodded.

From then until a few days ago, he was a person who worked for Shinsei Communications.

“Slowly and covertly cut off contact with the mysterious communications.”

“yes?”

“We are leaving the mobile communications industry. Instead, I will focus on making cell phones.”

“Then what about the mysterious communications?”

Cho Jung-sik laughed.

“Well, will it work somehow?”

“ah···. Yep. All right.”

Shinbi Communications was mostly a company made with Jo Nam-shik’s own money.

If the mysterious communication collapsed here, it would be no different than the slush fund Jo Nam-sik had stored in the air.

“Then, we will proceed with research on the essential technologies required for cell phone production. In fact, our cell phone manufacturing technology is far behind the market standard. First of all, there must be technology capable of developing CDMA mobile phones…”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes?”

“Because I decided to ‘borrow’ technology and patents for manufacturing CDMA cell phones from a place I knew well.”

The eyes of everyone sitting on the sofa widened.

The head of the PC division, who claimed to be Jo Nam-sik’s left arm, was also surprised and asked Jo Jung-sik without realizing it.

“Is that true?”

“Am I talking nonsense here?”

“Ah, sin… sorry.”

CDMA technology was a technology that Cho Nam-sik could never achieve even though he tried so hard.

In the first place, no matter how much I tried to talk to Qualcomm in the United States, and Hermes and Pantech in Korea, they did not even talk, so there was no way to purchase related technologies.

‘To solve the mobile phone problem on the first day of office, is that the eldest son of the Myeongseong family? Not a normal person.’

Inwardly, he recognized Jo Jung-sik’s ability a little.

“And the software manager, you can continue as you do. Now, if mobile phones are developed, even if we pay patent fees for major technologies, we will have to use our own software. Please prepare.”

“All right.”

“Then, I ask all three of you to work hard and proceed with what I said.”

“Yep!”

The three managers left, and Jo Jung-sik smiled happily.

Everything Cho Jeong-sik told the managers was what Ho-young advised him to do.

And the reaction of the general manager was all as Hoyoung had predicted.

He thought of Hoyeong as his Zhuge Liang.

‘If I become the president of Myeongseong, I’ll give him a position at the level of the vice-president and let him continue to be my assistant.’

Jo Jung-sik had big dreams.

The reason why Hoyoung is helping him now is Jo Jungsik, who firmly believes that Jo Jungsik will fall when he becomes the president of Myeongseong in the future.

.

.

.

Hoyeong was contacted by Jo Jungsik.

The inauguration ceremony today, and the gathering of department heads and giving instructions as Hoyoung advised, etc.

After hearing the whole story, Hoyeong said.

“Now the boss needs a big decision.”

– A decision?

“yes. Nam-sik Jo now has only one semiconductor left.”

– Yes.

“Here, the boss has two choices.”

Jo Jung-sik, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.

– I think you know what I mean. Through competition with Nam-shik, even the semiconductor is completely taken over…

“There is a way to shake the semiconductor and bring him down.”

Jo Jung-sik was unable to answer for a moment.

He also knows that shaking the current semiconductor will cause great harm to the development of Myungsung Group.

“president. I want President Cho Nam-sik to continue to take good care of semiconductors. Think carefully. If the semiconductor is overturned, Myeongseong Electronics will never be able to show off its global presence.”

– You’re right, right?

“yes. I don’t want my reputation to be like that either. Of course, if that happens, there is no guarantee that the reputation will belong to the boss… ah! sorry. Of course it’s the boss. I made a mistake. sorry.”

Hoyeong pretended to be a mistake and spilled her words, and there was no answer on the receiver.

Hoyoung calmly waited for Jo Jungsik’s answer.

– Is there a way?

“yes?”

– I mean, is there a way to shake the semiconductor?

Hoyoung smiled deeply.

“that is···. It is not that there is no way.”

– How? Let’s hear it.

Hoyoung could barely hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

adjustable.

He was very well prepared to ruin his reputation.
