Episode 72.

“What? Is the taxi coming?”

Blue Mobile’s Jinhyeok Su coughed in vain. ‘E-Class’ refers to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

“That’s right.”

“You’re still only doing it in that small town?”

“They do go to other regions, but since they mostly start from Hwapyeong, it’s safe to say that they only operate in that area.”

“Haha, a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck is also a waste of money.”

He gritted his teeth and laughed. Then suddenly he slammed the desk.

“We do it too.”

“yes?”

“Mobility, we can do it too. You can just buy it with money. You know what I got from Park Woong-jong last time? 5 billion.”

“But that······.”

“What’s the problem?”

“These are funds that CEO Park invested last time, specifying that they be used only for the operation of Blue Studio.”

“So what? Why? What do you want me to do?”

He asked back shamelessly.

“Give them operating funds. Who wouldn’t give it to you? Then you can just get it back as a loan. Director Kim, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me? Why don’t you try this one-day-to-day?”

He was ready to hit me if I did anything wrong. He was the kind of crazy person who gave illegal orders and didn’t even know why they were illegal. He had nothing more to say. He just nodded.

“How about the name Blue Taxi? Should I add magic to it? Blue Taxi Magic.”

“Oh, yes. Okay. Okay.”

The name had already been decided. Director Kim, who was looking at Jinhyeoksu’s pleased expression and answering dryly, licked his dry tongue.

Will it work? I thought to myself.

But Jinhyuksu was already in a dream. He couldn’t see anything.

“We’re doing it in Seoul. It’s on a whole other level than peace. First class? What the heck. Let’s do it too. How about going in a Maybach? It can’t compete with a Benz, right?”

It was revenge.

‘Cocoa, you little bastards. How dare you interfere with Jinhyuksu?’

Let’s see, don’t you think I can just sit still? That’s what I thought. I was going to follow you to the end.

* * *

The announcement was made on April 25, 2016.

[ Cocoa, ‘designated as large corporation’, 12 companies in / 4 companies out. ······ Naver is out again this time. ]

Finally, that day came.

‘If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.’

This is obviously something said by someone who has never experienced it. Anyone who has experienced it knows that it is not enjoyable.

“Then let’s go.”

I headed to the Coco I&M office with Han Jang-soo.

It was his idea to film a video message that had been a long time coming. It was scheduled to be sent to all employees on May 1st.

I don’t like working for a big company, and now they want me to do broadcasting too. Man, I hate that.

There was no choice.

It was because of Han Jang-soo. I couldn’t not say a word to my employees when I welcomed a new CEO.

Headed to the 5th floor.

“Congratulations.”

First, Nero TV’s Kwak Dae-hyun, who had been waiting, saw us and extended his hand.

It’s been a long time.

He was also one of the beneficiaries of the YouTube era. Although he was not as good as J-Bla, he also recorded steady growth. He had many passionate viewers due to his expertise and speaking skills. Furthermore, he occasionally appeared on cable, although he was not on public broadcasting.

“Who exactly?”

“Huh? What.”

Kwak Dae-hyun answered my question with a sly look.

“Are you going to fold it, or would you like to congratulate the new CEO, Mr. Han Jang-soo?”

“What if I say both?”

“You can just congratulate one representative. I’m fine with it.”

“That can’t be. Haha. If you leave out the person who started cocoa with nothing and built the current large cocoa group, who would you congratulate?”

No. It’s true.

“Please stop. It’s embarrassing.”

Han Jang-soo still looked very awkward. I went into the studio first.

“Representative Han, please come in and have a seat.”

“Oh, yes.”

Kwak Dae-hyun stood next to Han Jang-soo. His explanation continued.

“It’s your first time on air, so you’re nervous, right? Relax. That’s the camera over there. Do you see the red light? When that light comes on, the PD in front of you will give you a signal, so just look in that direction and speak. You can speak as if you were having a conversation.”

The three sat down.

The camera started rolling with a cue sign.

“Okay, everyone, thank you for waiting. Almost half of this year has already passed, but our Cocoa is still running without rest. Nice to meet you all. I am Cocoa’s eternal pacemaker, Nero TV’s Kwak Dae-hyun.”

I opened my mouth first.

“Hello, everyone at Cocoa. I am Kang Si-Hyeon, who has recently started a new career as the new Chairman of the Board.”

“······I am Han Jang-soo, the new CEO of Cocoa Labs. Nice to meet you, too.”

There was applause among the staff.

‘Cheer up, Han Jang-soo!’

Someone among the E&M employees who had come to watch shouted jokingly. The laughter grew louder. The tense atmosphere became much more relaxed.

“I don’t know who you are, but you did a good job.”

Kwak Dae-hyun also lightened the mood with a joke.

After a while, Han Jang-soo’s presentation took place. It was a short presentation. However, the message was clear.

“······I hope to receive a lot of help from all the Cocoa employees this year as well. This was the new CEO, Han Jang-soo.”

The nervousness was evident.

But the preparations were thorough. The atmosphere in the room had already turned serious. There was no applause.

“I heard it well.”

“thank you.”

“Let’s move on to the next step.”

Kwak Dae-hyun continued his hosting.

“Just like the last time Chairman Kang Si-hyeon gave his New Year’s address, I have prepared a few questions for the employees this time as well. First, Liam, the CEO has changed. So, will the company’s policies or principles change as well? Wow, this is a really provocative question. Who will answer it?”

“I should tell you this.”

Han Jang-soo glanced in my direction and then picked up the microphone again.

“Let me get to the point. Nothing will change. It’s very unfortunate, though.”

“Haha, I see.”

Kwak Dae-hyun asked back.

“Is there any reason why you feel regretful?”

“I guess it’s because I don’t have the capacity to change these two keynotes of challenge and expansion. I think that would be the answer.”

When you open your mouth, you speak well.

If you add KSH and my personal stake, I have 100% control. As long as I am healthy, it doesn’t matter where I am, not as the chairman of the board. That’s the real reason.

But he wasn’t foolish enough to say that out loud.

“What do you think about Representative Han’s remarks?”

It was my turn.

“Those two values ​​are the core of cocoa culture. No matter who comes as the representative, they cannot be changed. Don’t you think so, Nero (Kwak Dae-hyun)?”

“Yes, I agree.”

He also said that he rode the Cocoa Taxi first class on his way to work today and praised the drivers for being particularly friendly.

When General Han heard those words, his face became slightly gloomy.

“Next question.”

Kwak Dae-hyun handed over the cue card.

“Next, here’s Daniel’s question. I understand that it’s difficult for large companies to receive tax benefits. A typical example is the R&D facility investment tax credit. On the other hand, there are also many burdensome obligations. I’m curious about your thoughts.”

It was a comforting question.

“Companies have a social responsibility. They should accept it.”

If possible, I would like to see profits reduced and obligations increased, but I held back.

“It’s simple. It’s exactly the same style as the Chairman I know. Is there anything else you would like to say?”

I said, pointing to Han Jang-soo.

“We sent each employee a flower basket through a partner company of our second O2O service, ‘Cocoa Flower’, which has not yet been launched. It was the idea of ​​our ‘CEO’ Han Jang-soo here.”

“A flower basket?”

“yes.”

It wasn’t just a flower basket. I had hidden a gift that I had personally prepared without Han Jang-soo knowing. It was a surprise.

After filming, Kwak Dae-hyun asked.

“Mr. Chairman.”

“yes.”

“Can I ask you something? It’s a personal question.”

“Go ahead. If it’s about stocks like last time, I can’t answer your question.”

He scratched his head at those words.

“Haha, that’s not it. If I make the same mistake twice, it’s my fault. It’s different.”

“Then what is it?”

“Didn’t Netflix enter the Korean market this time? It’s not just in Korea, but it’s attempted to enter 130 countries at the same time. It’s only been a few months, but the response hasn’t been very good. Mr. President, oh no. I’m curious about your thoughts, Chairman. What do you think about your future vision?”

I’ve heard of it.

“Will it succeed?”

It was a direct question.

It’s Netflix. It brought back bad memories.

It was when I first started cocoa before graduating from college. I put it in to deal with the growing assets, but the stock price went up to an unmanageable level. I took it out right away, but it was already too late.

It continued to grow after that.

I heard that it has now grown into a service representing North America and Europe.

‘It was a good thing I took it out earlier.’

“Not right now, but I think it will work out well.”

Han Jang-soo intervened.

“Why do you think so?”

“The once-popular American drama craze has died down due to lack of infrastructure. Well-made content works everywhere. Netflix is ​​no exception.”

“But this time, it’s different.”

“What is it?”

“In Korea, the IPTV services of the three major telecommunications companies are already well-established. There are also many cable channels that provide rebroadcasts and third-party broadcasts. The price of rebroadcasts is not that expensive. Who would pay tens of dollars to watch Netflix, which only has a few original contents? Koreans prefer Korean contents.”

That’s right. I nodded.

‘Surely not this time?’

Fool me once, fool me twice. This time, Netflix seems to have come to their senses.

“Hey, it’s not just a few movies. Original content is a bit lacking, but there are a few movies that are streaming. And it will continue to increase. It’s not for nothing that we’ve been preparing for the Amazon ASW migration for 7 years. We’re going to push it with overwhelming hardware. The software inside it will just be upgraded gradually.”

Han Jang-soo seemed to have a different opinion. His words were also correct.

“What do you think, Chairman Kang?”

I answered.

“Both of you are correct.”

This is the wisdom of Prime Minister Hwang Hui. A leader cannot raise only one hand.

“What Mr. Kwak Dae-hyun said is right that Netflix, which has no Korean content, will have a hard time succeeding right away, and what CEO Han Jang-soo said is right that all they need to do is upgrade their software. Wouldn’t both problems be solved if someone provided Netflix with unique Korean software?”

That’s perfect. This is Coco I&M.

“Please convey my intentions to President Song Yu-hwa.”

My words continued.

“Let’s become partners with Netflix Korea. Let’s sign a contract to provide original content. I’ll leave the details to President Song, so please proceed quickly. The sooner the better.”

At that time, Song Yu-hwa was working from home. The doorbell rang.

“It’s a flower.”

Flowers? There’s no place to come.

The door opened.

The flower basket I received with a puzzled look had a nice scent. It made me feel good. It seemed like it was sent by the company. There were Cocoa Friends characters stuck in between.

‘You have good sense.’

This must be a gift for Director Han’s inauguration as CEO.

“What is that? Why are there flowers?”

My younger brother came running after seeing the flowers. He must have woken up to the sound of the door. He was the guy who came up to me to prepare for a job and then stayed as a guest. Song Yu-hwa frowned.

“It’s nothing.”

“It’s not like it’s nothing?”

In the meantime, my entire basket was stolen.

“What? Give it to me.”

They were muttering between the flowers. Something fell with a thud. It was an envelope.

The guy’s eyes lit up.

He opened the envelope. It wasn’t a letter, but an invitation. He pushed away Song Yu-hwa’s arm that was trying to snatch it away and began reading the contents out loud.

“I invite you… to a fantasy sea voyage? What is this? It was an invitation to a cruise?”

My eyes widened.

“The company gave it to me.”

“Company? Not your boyfriend?”

What the hell is her boyfriend freezing to death? Song Yu-hwa’s eyes lit up.

“It’s a good company, so it’s really different. I work overtime all the time, but I’m glad they give me gifts and make me work hard.”

I snatched the envelope back from the grumbling guy. It was a good feeling, actually. My shoulders shrugged.

I felt recognized.

There was one thing she didn’t know.

Ziying, ziying.

[Han Jang-soo], that was the name that appeared on the cell phone screen.

If you gain something, you lose something. The truth was true today. It was a phone call full of work.

I found out later.

‘what?’

A representative’s Kotok had arrived.

[Han Jang-soo] Please check the Chairman’s instructions in the email. One more thing, this is something you’ve only mentioned. We’re also planning an OTT service. Then I’ll wait for your reply.

‘Just throw the work at me?’

Is it because it’s a big company? Song Yu-hwa bit her dry lips.

Give medicine and get sick.

Give the medicine (flowers) first and the illness (work) later. But it didn’t add up. The matter was too big to be exchanged for a cruise ticket.
