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

Episode 4. Find a business partner (2)

In fact, online ordering of assembled computers was still taking place.

However, in general, the transaction volume was not so much because reliability was not guaranteed.

A large-scale trading system with credibility only appeared after the 2000s, but I plan to pull it out for more than 3 years.

“Are you going to create a sales network from now on?”

“How are you going to get the cost of creating a sales network?”

When creating a transaction system, that is, an online sales network, it was planned to use the existing communication network as it is.

So it didn’t cost much, but it wasn’t completely zero either.

“You can invest a little bit.”

“I?”

“I mean, if I had the money, would I be doing this here?”

“Don’t worry. He can do enough for you.”

“Do I have no money?”

“Don’t be afraid of the leverage, you don’t need a lot of money, so the computer and PC over there?”

“I do.”

“It’s fine, then you only need to do two things.”

“two?”

“Yeah, there’s a game called Diablo that’s out these days, please get me some of it.”

“Our store doesn’t sell games, do you?”

“Why are players doing this to each other? Do you know anyone at the Toad Shop over there? You can easily get them through that person.”

Diablo.

Developed by Blizzard in 1996, it was a masterpiece that marked a milestone in the history of action RPG games.

My memory is hazy, but it seems like it was released in Korea in early March, so maybe next week it will be officially released in Korea.

After its release, it became a huge hit.

It was one of the two essentials to creating an online sales network.

“Hmm.”

“it can not?”

“I think it can be saved, but why do you need the game?”

“It’s hard to explain in detail, but it’s a must-have to create a sales network anyway.”

“What are you talking about… Anyway, what’s the other one? Let’s hear it.”

“Can I use that computer all day? Of course, I will only use it when my brother is not in use.”

“I don’t have a lot of time to spend because I only use it to record inventory, is that all?”

“Yes, ah, phone bills may be a bit high. There is a lot of work to do with PC communication.”

My goal was to create an online sales network, so, of course, I needed a network that connects the whole country.

In the future, the WWW Internet will become the mainstream communication network, but not many people use the Internet now.

In 1997, the communication network most used by people was PC communication.

My brother narrowed his eyes.

“Isn’t this kid just trying to play games openly and play?”

Well, there’s no way I can be so misunderstood.

He shook his head.

“Please watch over me for a month. I am a person who misses every minute or second. I don’t have time or spare time to enjoy games like that.”

After thinking for a while, the older brother raised his head,

“Why should I trust you? No matter how you look at it, the assembly computer business seems unrealistic.”

“You don’t have to trust me.”

“Huh, what else does that mean? Let’s do business with me. If I don’t trust you, how can I do business?”

“I mean, you don’t have to believe right now. Just watch for a month and then decide. Even if I lied, hyung’s only loss would be the cost of the phone.”

After saying that, I took a relaxed posture with my arms crossed.

He had an expression on his face that he was tired of the endless leisure that I could see.

“…are you really in high school?”

3rd grade right.

2nd year of life, high school 3.

He pointed to the Turks covering their heads with a thickness of 1 cm.

“You can tell by looking at my head. That’s right.”

“Yeah, it looks like she’s never over twenty, but it feels like she’s talking to an old man who’s gone through all the prenatal care.”

Of course, it’s because I’m actually older than my older brother.

Originally my age…

“I will understand what you mean by plausible. So what are you doing? Temporary partnership.”

The older brother, who looked almost over, shook his head.

“Neither can I.”

huh? Is this person real?

“why?”

“If you think about it, I am the only one who bears the loss, and you have nothing to lose.”

Well, you leave me speechless.

but within the expected range.

There were a number of additional preparations for this case.

“If that’s the case, I will work part-time until the boss recognizes my ability.”

“Our store cannot afford to hire part-timers.”

“Don’t worry, it’s free.”

“So you’re not going to take the money?”

“Yeah, would it be okay to use PC communication instead of guests?”

“..that’s about it, it doesn’t matter.”

Then my brother’s permission was granted.

It’s like this strict yangban.

“As you say, even if you are deceived, the damage is only as high as the phone bill. Just do your best, because if it seems like you’re doing it roughly, I’ll kick you out right away.”

It seemed like he coveted his part-time skills more than the business skills I would show him.

“Yeah, if you get results instead, then you need to be recognized as a partner, not a part-timer.”

“Huh, I got it.”

The older brother smiled sullenly.

You’re probably thinking to yourself, ‘Business isn’t that easy, baby.’

But I’m sure.

I said it was a month just in case, but it probably won’t take even a full month before my hyung acknowledges me.

“Okay, don’t you know my name?”

I know.

Even my brother’s future.

“I’m Jang Dae-won, I’m 28 this year.”

“As I said before, this is Jae-Woon Kang. I’m 19.”

“Good job, I’ll watch you.”

“Fufu, yep.”

“How long do I have to save the Diablo game?”

“The sooner the better.”

“Then don’t save me until tomorrow.”

Whoa, that’s fast.

I asked for it to be rescued quickly, but I expected it to take two or three days.

Apparently, he felt a bit sorry for using it as a free part-time job.

“Use as many computers as you can, because today’s inventory record is already over.”

Without hesitation, I sat down in front of the computer.

When I turned on the power and looked at the specifications, admiration came out.

“All, this is the latest specification, especially the CPU Pentium MMX 233hz, how much are you doing these days? ”

When I was working part-time in my previous life, that is, it is a model that I rarely use two years from now, but it was the latest model that was released less than two months ago.

The older brother answered with a calm face.

“When you take it out, bring it for 500,000 won. “

50 million won

It’s also costly.

It was a wicked price, but he was worth it.

“But you’re using this computer to record inventory?”

“Isn’t it too good to be used for that purpose?”

“I just used it for practice. I’m a guy with a reputation for selling parts, so shouldn’t we have to assemble it before we sell it?”

Well, I forgot that this guy has a perfectionist temperament.

As the monitor turned on, a logo from the memories appeared on the screen.

Windows 95.

The number one contributor who raised Microsoft’s Bill Gates to the ranks of billionaires.

Compared to the subsequent version, the UI was clunky and the speed was slow, but now this is the latest operating system.

As soon as it seemed that the operating system was finished loading, PC communication was connected immediately.

Beep! Tee!

The modem started running with a bizarre sound.

PC communication, which dominated the late 1990s, was not without its inconvenience.

One of the most inconvenient things about it is speed.

The connection speed was so slow compared to the 2000s that it was suffocating.

Since high-speed communication networks using optical fibers have been in use since 1999, telephony networks were used for communication in 1997.

Since the communication speed was less than 1/100 of that of optical communication, extreme patience was required.

The part called the modem used to connect the telephone network was also a problem.

It made a strange noise every time it was used, tormenting the ears of its users.

“Ugh, my ears.”

Damn, I didn’t want to hear this creepy sound again.

However, long-distance communication had to endure because this PC communication was the only one.

First, I connected to Hitel, the platform I was mainly active in my previous life.

Seeing ‘Katy Hitel’ floating in white letters on a blue desktop was a new feeling.

I thought I’d never see you again.

The first thing I did when I logged in was to join a game club.

Hitel Gaming Club.

Also known as Gaeodong.

It was an abbreviation for the dog hair entertainment club.

Contrary to the funny nickname, it was a fairly large club.

As it is a game club, there is a lot of information about games, so in my previous life, I used to log in and get information while working part-time.

Usually, the reason for joining a game club is to get information about the game like this.

However, the purpose of joining the gaming club today was the opposite.

It draws people’s attention by posting information about new games that no one has posted yet.

That was my primary purpose.

If you use the game Diablo, it won’t be too difficult.

Once I joined only the game club, I connected to other platforms such as Chollian and Nowuri in turn, selected only the game club, and then disconnected.

“Daewon hyung, can I look at the parts inventory records in the computer?”

When an order came in later, KCOM parts were to be used first.

Therefore, it was necessary to check the stock.

“Yeah, but I made it in Excel, don’t you know how to use Excel?”

Whoa, how many people in the 21st century who don’t know how to use Excel?

I opened the ‘Parts Inventory.xls’ file and started looking.

Like a file created by a perfectionist, the inventory records were well organized so that they could be recognized at a glance.

Thanks to this, inventory inventory was quickly completed.

Daewon glanced at me with a curious expression on his brother.

“Somehow, you seem very used to using Excel, don’t you?”

Of course I’m not used to it.

I used it for 15 years, so I was not used to it, so I memorized all the shortcuts.

“I’ve always been interested.”

“Huh, are all kids these days like you? Isn’t writing in Excel the level you learned a little in academy?”

“Surely, I am special.”

Is there anyone other than me who is going to the 2nd high school in my life?

“right? For a moment, I almost felt embarrassed because I wondered what I was doing when I was in school.”

“You’re lucky, because a special guy like me came to me to do business with my brother.”

my brother was pissed off

“You don’t know that. Just because you are good at Excel doesn’t mean your business will be successful.”

This guy keeps bouncing.

Blue young boy, I don’t want to admit it easily, is this?

I responded to my brother’s words.

“You’ll soon find out that I’m not just good at Excel.”

My brother chuckled.

“It’s nice to see you have confidence.”

It was confidence, not confidence.

Confidence that this assembled computer business will succeed.

I’ve done the inventory check, so today’s work is almost finished.

“Hyung, what time do you open tomorrow?”

“About 10 am.”

“Then I’ll see you then. I’ll leave.”

“Are you leaving already? He said he would use the computer all day.”

“You don’t have Diablo yet, why? Are you sad that I’m leaving?”

My brother wrinkled his face.

“Okay man, get out of here quickly.”

“Yeah. Whoops.”

Since it was Sunday, I didn’t have to go to school, so I arrived at the Kcom store just in time for opening time.

“Hello, bro.”

“Hey, come quickly.”

I heard that it was open around 10, but when I noticed, it seemed that hyung had already left for work an hour ago.

In fact, even in the memories of his previous life, Daewon hyung was always the type to go to work early.

A person who is so diligent will eventually fail.

The business man must have been a monster.

I glanced at the computer and saw a copy of the CD on top.

A feeling came in a moment.

“Brother, that’s Diablo, isn’t it?”

“You’re smart, right, as you said, there was no Korean version, so I got the English version. But is that a game you can play without knowing English?”

“It’s not impossible, but it’s difficult.”

“I mean, do you speak English well?”

english? actually does quite a bit.

I used dragons to try for a promotion at work in my previous life, so my skills improved.

In the end, I didn’t get promoted.

Even if my English skills were a bitch, I had no problem playing this game.

I’ve already cleared it countless times on each difficulty level.

I asked my brother to get the game just to see if my memory was correct.

“little bit.”

My brother slapped me on the shoulder and laughed.

“Heh, bluffing, admit that you can’t do anything you can’t, man, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

I was too lazy to ask, so I just skipped it.

I’ll see if I can speak English with buyers later and see if that’s the case.

Anyway, Diablo and PC communication, both of these materials have been obtained.

It’s time to show your brother the skills of a partner.
