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

Episode 62. Gowon Group.(1)

The day after team leader Lee Woong-gi announced the completion of Nai World.

Team leader Lee and all the members of the Nyworld business team gathered together.

“Thanks to all of you, we are finally bringing Nyworld to the world. Not many people know yet how great our network management platform is. But I’m sure tens of millions of people will fall in love with our Naiworld in a few years. Everyone, you did a great job.”

When I finished my words, the team members applauded.

“The director also worked hard. The ideas the director gave me were the best! haha.”

“is that so? I’m glad it was helpful.”

Kang Hyung-jun stepped forward and said.

“Is that just helpful? You know better than me how to use your network online. Thanks to you, I think the level of perfection of Nai World has improved significantly. Now that I think about it, it seems that it was a godsend to accept the director’s proposal that we should work together. haha.”

Kang Hyung-jun, who was initially displeased with me, is now quite close.

That’s what Kang Hyung-jun said.

As the person who made the original Nai World, he knows even the details I didn’t know well, and he did his part as well.

“Now we open the server. Team leader Lee informs us of the status of visitors from time to time, and if there is a problem with the site, please report it immediately.”

February 25, 1999.

A little earlier than the original history,

A much higher level of perfection has been released.

Damoye Headquarters.

“brother. Are you having fun today?”

Daewon hyung laughed.

“How many people work for fun these days? If you make good money, you do it. Are you doing it because the job itself is fun?”

“Hey, anything is fun as long as you make money. haha.”

“..as you are the same, ask what?”

“Still, it’s what I choose to do. not my brother So, I will change it to the job you want right now, I mean.”

Daewon hyung had a harsh expression on his face.

“Are you really going to change it?”

“If I change jobs, who will do the shopping mall instead of me? do you do it?”

“I can’t. How many businesses do I have?”

“..I guess so. So what about shopping malls?”

“So that’s what I say. Dae-won’s older brother. Let Si-woong do some shopping mall work.”

“To Si-woong?”

“yes. He seems like a good person to me. Entrust me with work, teach me this and that, so I can grow up quickly.”

Daewon hyung narrowed his eyes.

“Are you sure you didn’t even get a favor after going on a business trip together?”

“haha. Could it be? I’m just thinking about raising him well and entrusting him with the shopping mall business instead of hyung, and handing over the T-Project to him instead.”

“If it’s a T-Project, it’s something you think is the most important thing. Are you going to hand it over to me?”

“yes. My brother is a computer parts expert. Oh, I’m not forcing you to change jobs. You can just do what you are doing, or take charge of the T-Project, and choose what you feel comfortable with.”

“..Then, of course, the T-Project.”

“Is that right? But for that to happen, you have to have someone who can replace you. I want you to raise it well so that Si-woong can do it. Only time will tell if Si-woong will rise to that level, but I think he will do well.”

“I also know that Si-woong is a talented guy. I put it on you on a business trip just in case, so I guess you liked it.”

“First of all, I passed my standards.”

“okay. Then I will try to raise it.”

About a week had passed since Jaewoon went on a business trip to the United States.

Woosung Planning Headquarters, Minkle’s agency.

The manager in charge of Minkle called Kim Yeon-hee.

“It’s Yeonhee. Can you see me for a second?”

The manager took her to a warehouse where gifts from fans were kept.

“..this is a gift warehouse.”

“yes. There is one unusual gift that fans have sent to you. Have a look.”

“okay? What is it?”

The manager pointed to an object with his finger.

“that.”

“..a carrier.”

“okay. It’s a suitcase, but it’s the first time I’ve sent a suitcase as a gift. Besides, I’ve never seen anything that big before. I tried to open it to see if there was something strange inside, but I couldn’t open it because it was locked with a password. I tried shaking it instead, but it doesn’t seem to have anything inside. Before I dispose of it, I called because I thought it might be something with a story.”

Kim Yeon-hee thought of a man the moment she saw the suitcase.

She quickly approached the suitcase and matched the password with the cell phone number she had kept without knowing the agency.

click.

The lock was released with a sound.

‘It’s too late to keep the promise. Sorry.’ There was a note that said

The manager was surprised and asked her.

“uh? How do you know that password?”

Kim Yeon-hee answered in a half-stained voice.

“..just know. Because she kept waiting.”

“Did someone you know sent it?”

“..that acquaintance is not a man, is it?”

“Right. man.”

The manager looked at her with suspicious eyes.

“Are you in love?”

“What is love? no. Do we have time for that?”

“..not really. But why does my boyfriend look like he was happy when he received a gift?”

“..you misunderstood.”

“It’s an illusion… Then can I dispose of this suitcase? It wasn’t given to me by my boyfriend.”

“Chief! I’ll take this home with me later, so don’t throw it away.”

“…I was joking. Are you tinkering? But aren’t you really your boyfriend?”

“Because it’s not!”

President Lee Byung-hoon said.

“Is this all the headquarters? The building is nice. How old is this building?”

“I bought it at an auction last year. We did about 50 billion. maybe.”

“I bought it cheap, but 5 billion? It is also Seoul.”

“yes. Still, this is enough for this boss to be true, right?”

The boss laughed bitterly.

“If you use all of the company’s fortune. That’s also the money I earned thanks to Director Kang.”

“Soon, the day will come when a building like this will happen without incident.”

“Thank you for your words. haha.”

“yes. But what made you come all the way here?”

The president hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Actually, I came here because I wanted to ask you about Director Kang’s opinion.”

“It is thanks to Director Kang, but these days, I have a little more room in the company’s funds. So, I want to hire more people and strengthen the R&D side, but I want to use the IP of the drill CPU architecture. If Director Kang gives permission, I plan to pay the patent royalties as well.”

IP (Intellectual Property).

It means technical information protected by law.

To summarize President Lee’s words in one word, it means that I will try to make a new product using the design technology contained in my drill CPU.

That was unacceptable.

“Sorry, but the IP contained in this drill CPU will only be used by me in the future. I don’t want anyone other than me to show up. Please understand that I am not doing this because I do not trust Mr. Lee, it is just my business philosophy.”

The boss nodded his head in dismay.

“Also. okay. Seriously, if even a country has this kind of technology, it seems like they don’t want to let it go. If Director Kang’s will is the will, then there is nothing we can do about it.”

“yes. But apart from that, I think this boss is a good partner to go with.”

“I’m glad you think so. On the R&D side, I’ll find another way. Thank you for taking the time today.”

I said to this boss who was about to get up.

“This boss. Drill’s IP is something that the company I belong to has an idea.”

“.. Does that mean that if Director Kang takes over my company, we can use the drill IP too?”

“yes. Oh, I’m not saying you have to do that. Don’t get me wrong. I’m just letting you know that there are options.”

The president opened his mouth with a complicated-looking face.

“Is there really no other way to use the drill’s IP?”

“..I know. I will think about what Director Kang said.”

March 2nd.

I got up early on the first day of college and stopped by a public phone booth.

As of yesterday, the 24th loan period has already passed.

It was time to change the interest rate again from today, so I had to confirm.

When I inserted the phone card and pressed the loan confirmation button, an ARS voice came out.

“The 25th repayment amount is ￦416,666,000.”

“Four billion? In terms of the annual interest rate, it is 1000%. This is fine.”

It wasn’t a small amount, though.

Even after hearing that, my heart was calm.

Even a year ago, 400 million was an amount that could be quite burdensome.

But now I have tens of billions of dollars in my bank account.

Considering the occasional giveaways, I was willing to give that much.

After checking the interest rate on the loan, even a little bit of pressure disappears.

There was only hope for the gift.

“What kind of gift is waiting for me this year?”

Seoul National University College of Engineering lecture room.

“Howdy. Jin Tae-woo! Did you have a good vacation?”

Taewoo laughed bitterly.

“What is a good time? I like going to school a lot more than staying at home. The vacation was too long.”

“What? Did you want to study like that, because someone wasn’t a criminal?”

“It’s not necessarily like that, but it’s a little difficult for my father to keep trying to get me to work in the company.”

Looking at Tae-woo’s face, he had lost a lot of weight as if he had suffered a lot during vacation.

‘But you don’t tell me in detail what this guy is talking about? If you know what you’re doing, you’ll know whether I should help or give up. As a friend, it’s a bit difficult to do background research. It’s frustrating.’

After the lecture, Taewoo suddenly asked.

“Hey, are you busy tonight?”

“I am always busy.”

“Don’t do that. Let’s have a drink today.”

“Are you two together?”

“why? Don’t you like being together with a man?”

“What. It’s not that I don’t like it. Yes, let’s go.”

There was a lot to do though.

He seemed to have something to say, so he headed to a pub near the school.

We sat opposite each other at the pub and opened the soju lid first.

Taewoo had already drank a bottle of soju like water before the snacks were even served.

I opened my mouth when the snacks came out.

“You, I wonder who my father is and why he does that to me?”

“Honestly, I’m curious. But, if you don’t want to talk, you can’t. There are some secrets that no one can tell, right?”

Because even I have a secret that I came from the future.

“..it’s not that much of a secret. I didn’t say anything because I thought it would make our relationship with you weird. But today I’m going to let it go. I think I need to talk to you.”

“It is. yes tell me What the hell kind of secret did it take you so long to divulge?”

“..my father is Seonho Jin.”

It took about 5 seconds for the guy’s words to make sense in my head.

“Um… aren’t you talking about Jin Seon-ho, Vice Chairman of Gowon Group?”

“That person is my father.”

I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised by anything.

I was just a little surprised.

Gowon Group.

It has large companies such as Kowon Electronics, Kowon Motor, and Kowon Heavy Industries as affiliates.

It was the second largest chaebol group in the business world after Hwanseong.

By now, the second son, Chang-ho Jin, and the third son, Seon-ho Jin, are fighting over the position of chairman after the founder, Chairman Jin Byung-wook, retired from illness.

It must have been that Tae-woo was the son of that vice-president Jin Seon-ho..!
