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

Episode 77. Someone who looks like something out of a novel.

After leaving the conference room and returning to his office, the 2nd team leader Kim Chan-myung, the 1st manufacturing team leader, whispered in a low voice.

“That person. You seem to have no sense because you succeeded too early at such a young age? Aren’t we in big trouble now, just like you worried?”

“..Well. Whether he is doing that because he has no sense or because he is really confident, we will have to wait and see.”

“Chief Kim. Do you think that little boy can make our company the best display company in the world?”

“..that I don’t know. But CEO Kang is a little different.”

“Did you see me ranting about bad lines earlier? In my opinion, it’s not at the level that I just picked up from here and there. Doesn’t it feel like you’ve ever worked at an LCD company?”

“I did too. CEO Kang, you are now in your second year of college. High school students are not accepted, so there is no way that I would have worked in high school, and no matter how much I think about it, I cannot be from the field.”

“..that’s right. That’s just how I feel.”

“It was a bit strange, but you don’t think that CEO Kang will be able to develop our company into the best company in the world with that?”

“CEO Kang’s strength is not only that. It’s great to know quite a bit about LCD. I think he also has a tolerance for his age.”

“Tolerance?”

“okay. Earlier, if I was going to give CEO Kang a job, I told him to do it after studying.”

“under. I was a bit surprised to see that too. Kim, no matter how big the liver is. What if you don’t say anything there and say everything you want to say? I was nervous because I didn’t know when President Kang’s mouth would tell me to stop. I was really lucky that CEO Kang was innocent.”

Chanmyung Kim smiled.

“Is CEO Kang an idiot? Absolutely not in my opinion.”

Although Kim Chan-myung is not good at politics.

Still, he had the least political sense to rise to the board.

“yes. For a moment, his eyes seemed to be looking at Vice Chairman Jin.”

“Well. Was it that much?”

“okay. I don’t think it’s that I don’t have a personality. I’m still unharmed after saying that.”

“Well, you must have thought that everything you said was right. Actually, I didn’t say anything wrong.”

“It is, though. Even so, do ordinary owners just listen to such words and move on? Actually, I was prepared to get cut. There is nothing to do compared to what I was prepared for, so I’m about to collapse.”

“..Then you think CEO Kang is very smart, knows LCD well, and has tolerance, right?”

“I think yes.”

“..can there be such a person? He looks like something out of a novel.”

“You’ll find out if you look ahead. have i misunderstood Or maybe we just met someone out of a real novel.”

“..but I wish it was the latter if possible.”

“By the way, it is a bit of a shame that Vice President Yoo Kang-woo has been retained. It would have been great if the vice president resigned and Kim became the president after being separated from Kowon Electronics like this.”

At that, Executive Director Kim shook his head.

“I don’t necessarily think that way. It may have been a good thing from the company’s point of view that the vice president was retained.”

Team 1 gave a surprised expression.

“Chief Kim. You used to hate the vice president. But why do you say that?”

“I hated the vice president because he was a person whose main goal was to preserve his position, but not because he was a bad person.”

“You think the vice president has changed?”

“no. That person is not going to change. But what if CEO Kang is a really good person? Even if the vice president doesn’t know anything else, he’s a good person. Because of that alone, he has risen to that position. If CEO Kang decides to change the company, there is no longer a better term for him than vice president.”

“..you might think so.”

Executive Director Kim shrugged.

“Well, even if it’s not, what can we do when we’re just worker ants? I just want CEO Kang to be an outstanding person, according to my feelings. If I’m wrong, the company will collapse in a few years.”

#Damoye Headquarters.

English came out of the phone.

“Can I speak to Jaewoon Kang?”

“I am Jae-Woon Kang.”

“I am Harold Clark, the publisher of Universal Music Group. Have you come to our company to sell MP3 music before?”

“At that time, there were a lot of mistakes. I just found out that the subordinate did not properly inform the superior and handled your proposal at will. It’s late, but I’d like to talk to Mr. Kang about the proposal even now.”

It is said that subordinates worked arbitrarily.

It can’t be.

Anyway, it looks like these guys have finally warmed up a bit.

“Then you’re saying that the executives of the Universal Music Group don’t think like that?”

“yes. So I mean. Would you like to visit our head office in the near future?”

You want me to come to America?

You look less hungry yet.

“Hmm…”

As I let the horse’s tail hang, Harold added.

“Let me tell you that we are very positive about your proposal. You probably won’t be fooling yourself.”

“I’m sorry, but that seems a bit difficult. I have a lot of business, so I’m a bit busy. It’s because I had a hard time making it last time too.”

I didn’t know that I was going to say no so quickly.

Harold didn’t speak right away, but answered after a while.

“..that’s right. I thought we could share a good story, but it’s a pity.”

“So do i. I’m sure we’ll see you again someday. Anyway, thanks for calling.”

The next day I got a call from Universal Music.

Shawnee Music also contacted me.

I’ve been making the same suggestion with only a few words wrong.

This too was rejected.

There was also a share contract with Haner Music.

It is because they can make a more favorable contract later by making the side of Universal and Shawnee more anxious.

“When is the next call coming? At that time, I would like them to realize their situation a little more.”

#Universal Music Headquarters in the United States.

CEO Paul Thompson, who was holding a coffee mug, stared at Harold, a publishing executive.

“What did you say now? The Asian turned down our offer?”

“..exactly, you refused to come this way.”

“That’s it. Just looking at it, it seems to mean that you have no intention of signing a contract with us. her. It’s amazing. How dare we, Universal, number one in the American music industry, be treated like this.”

“The Asian man is rude, but he can’t do anything about it. We can’t stand still, so Harold finds a way to sell MP3s on our own.”

“..Me? I know a lot about albums, but I’m not confident about MP3s.”

“Then what should I do?”

“..no. Let’s see.”

After Harold left.

Paul put down his coffee cup.

An uneasy feeling of unsure of the reason kept tickling his nerves.

I tried to ignore that feeling.

“I am. If not, do you know that we can’t sell MP3 songs? Kicking the opportunity to do business with us. That Asian, you will regret it greatly.”

#Daily Nyworld business team.

Team leader Lee Woong-gi uploaded the operation status data of Nyworld to the Beam project.

“From last April, the number of members started to increase exponentially. It has already crossed 500,000 people now and is expected to surpass 1 million within two months.”

In April, ADSL service, which provides high-speed data communication at a flat rate, began to spread.

“I think we’ve seen a lot of internet users increase.”

“Then we have to add elements that can be profitable now.”

“Are you thinking of anything?”

“Let’s make a Nyworld shop first.”

“A store..is that?”

“yes. We want to add a kind of online shopping mall function to Nyworld.”

“..a shopping mall can easily be effective, but will Nyworld users actively use it? There must be all the shopping malls you used to use.”

“We have to make it usable. All you need to do is create a ni-world shop and add cyber money and gift-giving features to ni-world. For example, let’s say there is a cyber money called Albam. What if one chestnut was worth 100 won and you could use it at the Nyworld store, and if you could give it to others as a gift?”

Team leader Lee Woong-gi, who had been contemplating for a moment, made an expression on his face that he realized.

“ah. Among those who are burdened with sending and receiving money directly, cyber money would be a good item to use. I think it would be even more popular if it could be used right away in a shopping mall.”

“But I have one question. If this Nyworld store succeeds, it will create a strong competitor for the Damoye shopping mall you are running. Is that okay?”

I chuckled.

“If we were to create a new shopping mall, that would be it. But I have no intention of turning the Nyworld store into a new shopping mall. We’re going to take the shopping mall as it is and make the Nyworld store. People gather together with Nyworld’s cyber money to buy things at the shopping mall.”

At those words, the leader’s face darkened slightly.

“Is there anything on your mind?”

After a moment’s hesitation, the manager opened his mouth.

“..It would be convenient to create a system if we all gathered and used the shopping mall as it is, but it is a bit like that in that case, the profit from the store is not connected to the profit of Nai World itself.”

Even though it’s a division of the same company, I don’t want to do good things.

It was a good attitude as a leader.

No matter how business units within the same company, those who gave up their share without reason were not qualified as team leaders.

“haha. Do not worry. If that happens, Nyworld will gather and become an external partner of the shopping mall. A certain amount of sales will come in as a commission. It will be a great source of income for Nyworld.”

“ah. Then I have no complaints.”

“That’s fortunate. How developed is the messenger service now?”

I was developing a new messenger service that works with Nyworld.

Although it was a bigger task than the purpose of making big profits right now, it meant preparing in advance in case the smartphone came out later.

However, I did not intend to make it a military family that could not make any profit.

“Nearly 90% complete.”

“How many types of emoticons do you have?”

“Five kinds.”

“First, please release the emoticon so that it can be used on the Nyworld bulletin board.”

“Originally, it was an item I prepared for use as a messenger, but why are you asking me to solve it on the bulletin board…?”

“I want to make consumers familiar with emoticons before messengers come out. Knowing that you can use the emoticons we saw a lot when we launched our messenger service, you won’t have any objection to using our messenger.”

“yes. Please continue to add more types of emoticons in the future.”

“Well. It’s not easy to recruit talented emoticon writers, so it’s difficult to increase them quickly.”

“Why is it difficult to hire an emoticon artist?”

“Because it’s not worth the money compared to comics. Not many people support it. Besides, there are very few talented people among them.”

Emojis don’t make money.

It was amazing to me, knowing that there will be a lot of aspiring webtoon and emoticon writers in the future.

Yet this was the reality.

“Then I will have to use another method. Let’s open our emoticon contest.”
