With the Time Shop, I Too Am the Greatest Conglomerate of All Time

Episode 16. Search engine.

“Thank you for taking good care of me. But I am satisfied with my job now. You must have a better relationship than me.”

respectful though.

It was a firm refusal.

First attempt failed.

But there isn’t just one way.

After Director Jeong returned, Daewon called for his brother.

“Hyung, do you know the representative contact information for Hongin Media?”

“know. But why?”

“Please ask Hongin Media representative to dispatch one person to us.”

“Person?”

“yes. You can give the cost as you ask. Instead, tell me that Manager Jung must come.”

“Are you going to pay what you ask for? If we were to send people out, nine out of ten we would call for two or three hundred.”

“does not matter. Just give it to me.”

“If you need a site administrator, doesn’t it have to be Hongin Media? There are only a few people I know who are playing.”

“We need a site administrator, but to be honest, we need Manager Jung. I’m going to try and pull it out somehow.”

“Why do you need luncheon-senpai? It’s not just luncheon-senpai who can manage the site.”

“Your brother said it. He is a capable man.”

“The ability is good. But is there anything that needs that ability?”

“Not now, but it could be in the future.”

Just like smartphones, which are the pinnacle of the high-tech electronics industry, need an optimal OS to function properly.

The electronics industry and the IT industry are closely related to each other.

There was still a long way to go, but there was nothing wrong with preparing in advance.

“So, in case I need your words, I’ll bring them right away.”

“It is correct.”

“..what if the job that the senior needs doesn’t end?”

“It’s not going to happen.”

“How do you guarantee that?”

“If not, I will make one.”

I was shocked that my brother couldn’t speak right away.

“..why do you want to bring luncheon sunbae to work?”

“I do not know. Do you just like Manager Jung?”

Daewon hyung’s expression changed strangely.

“Did you have a taste like that?”

This guy shouts at me.

Who’s trying to block the road?

“never. no. Don’t get me wrong. I’m just being humanly drawn to it. After starting a company, I get strangely greedy when I see good people.”

“Is it human attraction? what could be Luncheon-senpai has always been popular regardless of gender. I’m honest good ability She even takes care of the people around her.”

“no wonder. It felt good from the first time I saw it.”

“You have eyes for a little guy. Anyway, did you decide to bring in the luncheon-senpai regardless of the cost?”

“I get it. I don’t cooperate either. First of all, I will contact Hongin Media representative and ask him to dispatch luncheon-senpai over here.”

“yes. But this time, you’re pretty docile, aren’t you?”

“Actually, I didn’t like the fact that luncheon-senpai was in that small company.”

“Is my company smaller?”

“It’s going to be big soon. no?”

“..I didn’t know that hyung had such faith in our company.”

“It’s not that I have faith in our company.”

“sure?”

“I believe in you.”

Was it someone who could say such strange words?

Anyway, I’m glad you believe me.

“I hope that belief will not change until the end. Whoops.”

“Ah, I forgot to say ‘not yet’.”

“This brother is real! He was in a good mood, right?”

“So do it, ma’am. haha.”

Luncheon knocked on the door of Hongin Media’s representative office.

smart,

“come in.”

When I opened the door and entered, I saw CEO Ji Han-cheol sitting in a wheelchair and looking out the window.

“CEO. Did you call?”

CEO Ji turned the wheel of the wheelchair and turned around.

skinny body.

Wrinkles covering the face.

Thanks to him, every time I see him looking much older than his original age.

Compassion and guilt pierced luncheon’s chest like an awl.

“Are you having a lot of trouble these days because of the shopping mall site AS?”

“no. It’s a job I do for a paycheck, but of course I have to do that.”

CEO Ji looked at luncheon’s face and opened his mouth.

“Chief Jeong. No luncheon.”

“..yes.”

“Let’s stop now.”

“Please leave our company.”

“CEO!”

“It’s already been 10 years. Did Inhyuk go like that?”

“I also resented you a lot at first. But as the years passed, I suddenly had this thought.”

“It’s like thinking that you might be a victim too. You probably didn’t even know that Inhyuk had a weak heart, and Inhyuk and his body were weak, he was the type of person who would attack without covering fire if he was obsessed with one subject. After all, if it wasn’t for your project, it would be like that someday.”

Luncheon, who had been silently listening until then, opened his mouth.

“..it might have been. However, that does not take away my responsibility for what Inhyuk did.”

CEO Ji smiled bitterly.

“It’s like such a savvy bastard. So he’s going to keep coming to work?”

“sorry. CEO.”

CEO Ji presented a document to luncheon.

“If you can’t resign, take this.”

“..what is this?”

“It’s a dispatch order.”

“A dispatch order?”

“okay. Starting tomorrow, I will go to work as ‘Damoyo’.”

“I’m not kicking you out, so don’t get excited.”

“Are you kicking me out, or what?”

“It is said that in return for sending you out from Damoyeo, they give you three hundred a month. That’s three times your monthly salary. Wouldn’t it be right to send it as a matter of course from the company level?”

“After all, we don’t have many orders from our company. If you reject this offer, you will have to remove the title of representative.”

It wasn’t wrong.

In the end, luncheon shook his head.

“..All right. I will go to work with Damoye from tomorrow.”

“okay. You can go and sit down if you like.”

“It will never happen. Then we will go.”

CEO Ji gestured to go and turned around.

When he heard the luncheon going out, CEO Ji muttered a little.

“Poor boy. There is nothing absolute in this world. Someday you will realize it too.”

Although it cost quite a bit, managing the shopping mall site became much easier after bringing in Manager Jeong.

But there was a problem.

“Chief Jeong.”

“Chief Jeong. Aren’t you supposed to look face to face when talking to people?”

Director Jung reluctantly turned his head.

“Are you okay?”

“How long are you going to be upset?”

“..you’re pissed off. I’m an adult male in my 30’s. There is no such thing.”

“But I don’t know why you keep avoiding my face.”

“..Never like that.”

“Are you still not satisfied with my request to dispatch Manager Jeong? My request would have been quite beneficial to Hongin Media as well.”

“..Is there any reason why you need me?”

I nodded my head broadly.

“Why? A lot.”

“A lot?”

“yes. Our shopping mall is getting bigger and bigger. The products will be diversified and the customer base will also diversify. That’s why website management becomes so important. I want Manager Jung to take care of that.”

“There are many website experts out there besides me.”

“I’m not going to leave it alone to Manager Jung.”

“Are you saying there is another reason?”

“yes. I heard you worked on a search engine-related project before. Right?”

“..that is a failed project. In the end, it didn’t work out.”

“Once the shopping mall is on track to a certain extent, I will take a look at the business feasibility of the search engine.”

Director Jung’s voice grew louder as if he was surprised.

“yes? A search engine?”

“yes. Shopping malls and search engines are closely related.”

not now but.

In the future, the connection between a search portal and a shopping mall will become almost essential.

“Is the shopping mall involved? A search engine?”

“yes. When a consumer searches for an item, a link is provided to the shopping mall site where the item is located. What would happen?

At my words, Manager Jeong had a face in great shock.

“..the frequency of accessing the shopping mall will increase significantly.”

“you’re right. There are search engines out there right now, so you can partner with them, but I don’t think it would be bad to try it yourself.”

Originally, I had no intention of making something to do already.

The search portal field wasn’t even an essential part of my business portfolio.

Manager Jeong was the talent he wanted to recruit in preparation for future advancement into the electronics industry, not the talent he brought to use right now.

However, for some reason, the ugly hair was firmly embedded, so it was necessary for Manager Jung to throw some bait.

Of course, it’s just a bait for now.

Then, if Manager Jung created a proper search engine, I was thinking of jumping into the search portal field.

There is a delicious pie in front of you that can generate huge profits by connecting advertisements, social media, and entertainment, right?

Manager Jung tilted his head.

“However, developing a search engine for the purpose of simply connecting with shopping malls seems inefficient in terms of cost.”

It also doesn’t come easily.

“If that’s the only purpose, yes. However, the search engine market will grow significantly in the future. The search engine itself is a huge amount of money.”

“..search engines alone will make money. This is a difficult statement to empathize with. I was interested in developing a search engine, not to make money with it.”

I used to think that way too.

In the future, goggles, sister, giant search portal companies will make huge profits.

Reikos and Yaho, which are listed now, were all in the red because they could not find a profit model.

But I already know how they succeeded in the future.

It is said that it is possible to make a profit at any time.

Of course, there was a prerequisite that Manager Jeong developed a proper search engine.

“Shall we think about it this way? Let’s say the entire nation uses one search engine.”

“A single search engine?”

“yes. Then, if all the people want to find something, they will open the same search box. In that case, imagine that an advertisement of a certain company is placed on the screen. What do you think your exposure will be?”

“A simple calculation would result in over 10 million impressions per day.”

“you’re right. That’s more effective than prime-time TV commercials. Businesses are willing to pay high advertising fees.”

“It’s not just that. What if there was a service that allows my company’s products and products in my shopping mall to be exposed first when a specific product is searched for?”

“..Of course I will use that service.”

“Even if it’s paid?”

“If you are confident in the product, you can use it even if it is paid.”

“how about it? Don’t you think search engines won’t make money? There is only one case where search engines don’t make money.”

“What is the case?”

“When the share is low. That’s when search engines don’t make money. Conversely, as long as the market share is high, you can make a lot of money.”

“If Manager Jung makes a proper search engine, I will increase the market share. Then the game is over.”

By the time the story had come this far, Manager Jeong’s vigilance had completely dissipated.

He was looking at me like an alien.

“..When President Jang spoke about the director, I actually thought there was a lot of exaggeration. Rather, it was the opposite.”

“Are you against it?”

“I don’t have a proper way to express myself, so now I understand that you said that.”
