Dr. Chris Amon glanced at the patent table of contents and clicked his tongue.

It appears to be a different patent from the core patent of the next-generation mobile communications standard.

The problem was that it was not clear whether the value of this patent was as great as it appeared.

The bigger problem was that there were too many patents.

“… But anyway, other companies also file many patents. This kind of effort… … .”

“Other companies do it too.”

“That’s why you can’t say anything just because there are a lot of patents.”

“But the person who has dealt with the most next-generation mobile communications core equipment is Director Choi Min-hyeok. Can you really compete with Director Choi Min-hyeok and win?”

“That’s… … .”

Dr. Chris Amon finally sighed. But he also secretly acknowledged this part. Because Director Choi Min-hyeok did something.

However, Dr. Chris Amon also knows about Director Choi Min-hyeok’s abilities.

I couldn’t not know Director Choi Min-hyeok, who is also Qualcomm’s major shareholder.

To be exact, it was after he had hit the back of the head of the major shareholder.

“I will listen carefully to your advice, Congressman. I will think about it seriously.”

“Please make a judgment for the national interest.”

“…yes.”

Dr. Chris Amon also realized that there was someone behind Congressman John Smith’s persistent actions as he clicked his tongue.

But he couldn’t ignore the realistic problems.

In fact, as an American, he too was concerned about this problem.

Still, there was no other realistic alternative.

What Director Choi Min-hyeok offered was a poisoned cup, but there was no way to refuse it.

Now, I had no choice but to learn and follow the suggestions made by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Even now, it is still very controversial.

This is because bandwidth is still controversial and is likely to be split into several parts.

In the end, I contacted Director Choi Min-hyeok.

The beginning, of course, was an explanation of the current situation.

[There is a lot of talk about setting the frequency bandwidth standard. Director Choi Min-hyeok set the 5MHz band, but there is controversy because there are pros and cons.]

Director Choi Min-hyeok knew that although the PCS and Plims frequencies were different, there was actually a large difference in bandwidth.

[In that case, wouldn’t it be better to divide it into 3MHz and 5MHz? If necessary, adding 10MHz is also a method.]

[Huh? That’s the first time I’ve heard of that.]

[I don’t have time to consider multiple bandwidths right now. But if I had time, it would be different. I have to acknowledge Europe and Japan as well.]

[Oh, you really didn’t take that into consideration?]

[We need to do that right away. Otherwise, there will be strong opposition from Europe and Japan. If that happens, the international technical standards of Plims will be lost.]

They were already thinking of something else.

This 5MHz bandwidth gave an excuse.

Dr. Chris Amon also asked Director Choi Min-hyeok questions just in case, since he knew about the situation.

However, I did not expect this answer from Director Choi Min-hyeok.

[Oh, I see. So the research currently underway at ETRI covers all three bandwidths.]

[Yes.]

Dr. Chris Amon was left tongue-tied by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s calm words.

There was a lot of talk about this issue during the standardization process of Plims development technology.

The anti-Choi Min-hyeok faction did not want to follow Director Choi Min-hyeok’s standards.

However, Director Choi Min-hyeok had already created an alternative.

That was actually a strange thing.

But he soon shook his head. The important thing now was to check Representative John Smith.

[The House continues to stumble over the Plims standard.]

[If you mean the House of Representatives, you mean Representative John Smith? The one who thinks I’m the devil?]

[… Yes. Sorry.]

[Don’t worry too much. I know what the US House of Representatives is afraid of. Oh, just in case, we’ve finished developing the Plims chip. Now the test terminal can be reduced to the size of a PCS terminal that we know.]

[Is that really true?!]

[That’s true. I’m saying this just in case you bring up some weird conspiracy theory. I was going to talk about this at ETRI anyway, but I think it would be good for you to know in advance. I really want to get along well with the US government.]

[… I’m sorry. I think I’m just suspicious of Director Choi Min-hyeok.]

[What? That could be possible.]

Director Choi Min-hyeok clicked his tongue as if it was nothing special.

This situation could have happened at any moment.

Of course, that happened because of the Han-Young Daily and Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung.

‘It’s a good thing I found out now.’

Isn’t that what they call early treatment?

It would be much better to sort this out now.

Dr. Chris Amon couldn’t shake off his mixed emotions after hanging up the phone.

On the one hand, he was (honestly) embarrassed to do this.

But on the other hand, he was amazed by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s aggressive development of Plims.

‘When on earth did they start developing the Plims chip? Moreover, the specifications haven’t even been finalized yet. Well, if it’s Director Choi Min-hyeok, he could probably extract only the necessary parts.’

Although you may not be aware of it, the Plims standard has changed little by little.

Eventually, the specifications of the Plims chip will also have to be changed.

Director Choi Min-hyeok developed it while taking this risk into consideration.

So how difficult would the technical difficulty be?

Director Choi Min-hyeok was truly a mysterious person.

‘I just can’t stand it.’

But Dr. Cream Amon soon sighed.

Once testing began with the Plims chip, it was clear that standard work would follow suit.

Because the people responsible for this Plims standard have to use this test platform.

‘I am afraid. Perhaps Congressman John Smith’s concerns are not just worries.’

* * *

Congressman John Smith has been in politics for over 20 years. He has even held various high-level positions within the U.S. government.

At that point, it was impossible not to know people’s hearts.

He knew Dr. Chris Amon’s temperament very well, and gave him some instructions before coming here.

It was the movement of the next generation mobile communications powerhouse in Europe.

Although they cooperated in the development of Plims led by Director Choi Min-hyeok, they had already cracked the pumpkin seeds.

Ericsson, led by Sweden, Finland, Nokia, Siemens, and others are secretly working together to develop the next generation of mobile communications.

Astronomical amounts of money are a bonus.

Europe had been lukewarm about the development of this Plims until now, but thanks to Director Choi Min-hyeok, they started to make a fuss and shouted, “Oh, it’s hot!”

‘It really was.’

Aide Lawrence Goggins also agreed with John Smith on this point.

“They say it’s for the purpose of global standardization, but strictly speaking, they were shouting for the overthrow of Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“Have you decided to take a different path from Director Choi Min-hyeok?”

“That’s not it. There are those who follow and those who don’t. I haven’t drawn a clear line.”

The European side did not show it outwardly.

These people also felt burdened by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

No, I was scared.

Right now, a huge amount of royalties are being ripped off by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

In particular, K-2S, which has established itself as a short-distance mobile communication standard, was problematic.

Already, the mobile phone companies had no choice but to hire this K-toos.

Because there is no other alternative.

If we had offended Director Choi Min-hyeok, the development of K-Toos could have been disrupted.

Director Choi Min-hyeok was a man who could have raised K-Tooth related patent fees by 100%, 200% and still have some left over.

No, this is actually what the US government has been like so far.

Because the US government has been ahead in all key technologies so far, and has been bullying those around it.

‘No, it’s not bullying. I made that much investment.’

But at some point, a change occurred here.

The main character is Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Congressman John Smith thought about it for a moment, but decided he couldn’t just leave it alone.

The Clinton administration had already abandoned Chief of Staff Choi Min-hyeok because of reelection.

Before I could do anything, I had to kiss Dr. Chris Amon too.

He checked the time again and ran to the airport.

Dr. Chris Amon clicked his tongue as he saw Congressman John Smith appear just as he was about to board the plane.

Age can’t be fooled, Congressman John Smith breathed heavily.

Sweat poured down from his body like a waterfall.

I couldn’t even breathe properly.

It wasn’t until airport medical personnel showed up that the situation calmed down.

Dr. Chris Amon was ultimately unable to make his flight on time.

He was escorted by airport staff to an empty office where he met Congressman John Smith.

“Look at this. Right now, Europe is leading the way with its own standards, led by Sweden!”

The European Flims system is also compatible with the broadband CDMA system being promoted by the Japanese government in a way that maintains compatibility with GSM.

That’s right.

Japan was also preparing to hit Director Choi Min-hyeok on the back of the head.

What would have happened two years later has already happened due to the butterfly effect.

“… … .”

Dr. Chris Amon clicked his tongue. He had guessed since this had already been an issue in the standardization process. How could they have dug a separate hole in the back?

He didn’t blame Senator John Smith. Europe would have been more than happy to do so.

The reason is money and influence.

Because we are not a country so naive as to entrust our telecommunications services to foreign countries.

Quite the opposite.

In fact, until Director Choi Min-hyeok came along, they always considered Korea a technological colony.

Congressman John Smith appealed to Dr. Chris Amon in a genuine manner.

“I know Dr. Chris is hesitant because of Qualcomm, but in the long run, the way things are going now is the way for Director Choi Min-hyeok to eat everything.”

“Ugh.”

“Don’t you know? This is something that our U.S. government should take the lead on. But giving that lead to a single civilian? That’s ridiculous!!”

Congressman John Smith shouted, not caring about the stares of the citizens passing by the airport. He was genuinely concerned about America.

It wasn’t necessarily because of Director Derek Morgan’s request.

It was precisely because of Director Derek Morgan’s appeal that I realized that now was the most dangerous moment.

If not now, the U.S. government’s leadership will be completely lost.

Dr. Chris Amon groaned.

Congressman John Smith eventually handed over an article with photos of Dr. Lee Ji-soo, Helen, and Director Choi Min-hyeok giving a lecture at the ETRI auditorium.

Surprisingly, it was a CNN article.

He also attached here the profiles of Helen and Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

“These two people are also very relevant to our American national security. In particular, Dr. Helen is a world-class expert in the field of communications. As far as I know, Helen led the development of the next-generation mobile communications platform. By the way, Helen’s boss is Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“That’s… … .”

“This is by no means a simple matter. Do you know what the company that Director Choi Min-hyeok invested in when he came to the United States is doing?”

To his surprise, Rep. John Smith handed over a report listing the research recently conducted by companies in which Director Choi Min-hyeok had acquired shares.

At first glance, it was obvious that it was not an officially obtained report.

Dr. Chris Amon sighed.

“… I will check with Director Choi Min-hyeok about that.”

“Do you really trust Director Choi Min-hyeok?”

He also clicked his tongue. If there had been another alternative, he would have taken action already.

“For now, we have no choice but to believe it. Honestly, is there any other alternative?”

Rep. John Smith was flustered when asked a technical question.

“… So. Let’s gather American telecommunications experts separately and discuss other next-generation telecommunications standards… … .”

“It’s really frustrating. If you’re so confident, gather the opinions of five other experts and send them to me. I’ll make a decision after looking at them.”

“Whew, I understand.”

Congressman John Smith was not happy with the way things were going.

But to Dr. Chris Amon, it was none of his business anyway.

“I’m busy, so let’s talk again later.”

Congressman John Smith also could not readily come up with an alternative to the realistic problem.

‘This is really big trouble!’
