The Tycoon Who Flies Into Space Episode 73

Episode 73: Iridium Satellite Communications Acquisition (1)

As soon as we arrived at our new house, my sister sighed when she saw my face.

“Oh my, you went to Texas once and haven’t contacted me since! You know how hard it was for me to move by myself.”

“It’s hard, I sent the staff. What did you do?”

“If I wasn’t here, yes, the furniture would probably still be where it is now. And I can’t even tell you how much stuff my brother had. I put it all away in the storage room like you asked.”

To prevent others from touching what I made, I had a robot pack it up in advance.

The amount was so large that the luggage had to be moved several times using large vehicles.

Even though we built a larger warehouse while remodeling, it was difficult to fit everything in because there was so much stuff there.

“But what’s all that?”

“Work tools. I have some I work on.”

Jeongyeon had a face that seemed to roughly guess what kind of items they were. There were similar things all over the house in Seoul.

At first they were curious, but after they found out what I made, they lost interest.

Even things that seem novel become routine once you get used to them.

“How good must it have been for us to stick together for two months?”

“If you had a man, you would do the same.”

“Caak! I’m not even kidding. Where the hell am I, a man!”

“That’s why I told you to date a man.”

“I told you I won’t get married before I’m 30.”

It was a typical fight between siblings.

“Oh, right, I have something to show you.”

Jamie made a strong request.

I told Jeongyeon to show the video too. I wondered if it was really necessary, but she said she would resent me later if I didn’t, so I had no choice but to show it to her.

At first, Jeongyeon was watching the video I showed her indifferently, but then she was so surprised that she couldn’t close her mouth.

“Is that really possible?”

“What do you think? Does this older brother look great?”

Jeongyeon became serious at my words.

“When did you finish this?”

Actually, I made it a long time ago, but I had to say it well.

“I made it whenever I had time in Texas.”

“Crazy, oppa, you’re really a genius.”

“You know that now?”

Everyone around me has been calling me that for a long time.

I had no choice because every product I made was groundbreaking.

“I don’t think it’ll be necessary for the movie I’m going to produce, but I don’t know, so I’ll think about it and discuss it with the director.”

“You said what you were making was romance, so why do you need CG in it?”

“It would be strange if you saw this and didn’t use it in a movie!”

Jeongyeon screamed.

“Why are you yelling all of a sudden?”

“It’s my heart!”

“You look angry. Is today the day?”

“Ugh, how can you say something like that to your little sister?”

“I do it because she’s my little sister.”

Maybe it was because of the information that was engraved in our genes to tease each other, but teasing my little sister was the most fun in the world.

“It’s noisy. Can’t I watch this on a bigger screen?”

“It seems possible with a DLP projector.”

“Put it in the underground movie theater.”

“It’s probably already installed. Follow me.”

The basement movie theater had a white screen. When the movie theater was built, we decided to install a DLP projector. We could watch movies on the largest screen among the current ones.

Star Wars Episode 1 was also shown in theaters with this.

“If you put this up, how are you going to watch other movies!”

“You worry about everything.”

I grabbed my little sister.

There was a small room in the corner where movies were shown.

“See here? If you want to watch the movie you want, watch it here. You can watch it without any worries on the small TV screen.”

“This is too small!”

“This is enough for watching videos. The TV is small. If it’s too wide, it’ll be uncomfortable to watch.”

I left my younger sister, who was mumbling to herself as if she didn’t like it, behind and connected the video in my laptop to the DLP projector.

Certainly, the colors look different when viewed on a wide screen than on a small screen.

The battle scenes became even more exciting when they were accompanied by music from Star Wars movies.

The next day, Jamie came moving in with a load of luggage.

Compared to me who brought all my luggage, she only brought the clothes she needed, so she didn’t have much luggage.

I just brought a few comfortable everyday clothes and some clothes for going out.

It was too simple to be an actress’s moving box.

When I asked, the answer was very cool.

“You can just buy a new one if you need it. There’s no need to carry it around in bulk.”

As always, it was an answer that really resonated with me. I know people will say a lot about me dating Jamie, who is considered rich, but the reason I like Jamie is because he is incredibly smart.

No, I guess I should say wise rather than smart.

First of all, I was able to communicate with him.

Not only did he get along well with his family, he was also close with Jeongyeon.

What really surprised me was that he talked to his mother often.

My mom is in Korea, and Jamie’s mom is still working as a lawyer in New York.

I found this odd and asked about it, and got scolded by both Jamie and Jeongyeon.

“You two are talking in English? Was your mother good at English?”

“What are you talking about? I heard that your mother was an English teacher before she got married. She also went to the US as an exchange student. How can you not know your mother better than I do?”

“okay?”

My sister gave me a harsh rebuke at Jamie’s words.

“How can you not remember anything? Your mother gave birth to you and said you were a son, so she ate seaweed soup.”

Somehow I liked Jamie even before I started dating her. The biggest reason I don’t like foreign daughters-in-law is because we don’t communicate well.

All you have to do is communicate well with the person who will be your mother-in-law.

“I heard that Grandpa is studying English hard these days. He says he has to talk to his granddaughter-in-law.”

Jamie was startled by Jeongyeon’s words.

“Really! Yongwon, your grandfather is old?”

“I think my grandfather is 73 this year. I think so. He used to be able to do it to some extent, but he’s learning it again. He needs to talk to his granddaughter-in-law.”

“Oh my, this is really amazing.”

They argue well.

They were fighting amongst themselves without me.

The two were so busy talking that I crossed over to the warehouse.

Even after moving, I was so busy that I couldn’t finish unpacking.

Half of the cargo was left in the warehouse, and half was taken down to the basement.

“What’s left to do?”

[The most urgent task is to create chips for use in satellites.]

On one side of the underground space disguised as a liquor storehouse was a secret door leading to a workshop.

As we entered, a wide underground space came into view.

“Does it need to be this wide?”

[What’s wrong with being so wide? Fortunately, there is a natural cave area, so we widened it. A significant portion of the dirt that was dug out was also disposed of underground.]

“Kaaa! It’s an underground base. An underground base. Now all that’s left is to conquer the world.”

[What nonsense are you talking about? Stop thinking about other things and just get busy making satellite parts. The Iridium acquisition approval will be given in two days. Once the FCC approves, we should start the acquisition process right away.]

The person who was appointed as the president of Iridium Communications was Julian Kenner, the president of Herr.

Kenner, who had expressed reluctance to take on the job of president of an unfamiliar telecommunications company, actually agreed to take the job because the new satellites launched by Iridium were also intended for resource exploration.

One area that was particularly targeted was Australia.

Not only is there an abundance of resources within the country, but the political situation is stable, so the process of extracting resources can proceed without difficulty.

South America was also a region that could not be left out.

“I don’t have to do it by hand anymore. I’ve even created an automated production process.”

[Some parts are not yet ready for exploration. I will print out the blueprints, so please make them as is.]

So today, I was caught by the evil AI and had to do hard labor, sweating blood.

[Master, Jeongyeon and Jamie are approaching the workshop.]

“Don’t go to a place that is shown to the outside.”

A part of the underground workshop was made separate for Jamie and Jeongyeon to see.

The idea was to create a simple work space so that outsiders would feel like they were working there.

The original workshop and its equipment were very different. They were show-off facilities for the modern era.

As I was reporting that most of the parts were already made and being supplemented with a 3D printer, Jeongyeon and Jamie arrived outside.

I watched them wander around for a while, not knowing how to get in, and then opened the door for them.

The girls were surprised for a moment when the door, which would not open no matter what they did, opened automatically and then came inside.

“Wow! This place is truly a whole new world.”

This is Jamie’s reaction when he first sees my workspace.

“It’s nothing special. It’s the same as the workshop I saw before.”

This was Jeongyeon’s reaction after seeing the Seoul studio.

“What’s going on?”

“You suddenly disappeared without a word, so I searched for you.”

“I think I’ll stay here from now on unless something special comes up.”

“Is this it?”

“Yes, we are preparing the parts to be put into the communications satellite, as it seems like the acquisition will be decided quickly.”

“Already? I told you that it needs to be approved by the Communications Commission.”

“It’s a company that’s already gone bankrupt, so there’s no reason for you to pick a fight. As long as the company you’re taking over doesn’t have financial problems, there’s no reason to refuse. I promised to relaunch all the spare satellites and replace the old ones right away, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

It wasn’t hard work, but I was so absorbed in making precision parts that my eyes got tired.

I stretched and came outside.

“Let’s go out. I was going to finish up some work and then go out.”

It took a long time to finish the work I was doing now.

The two people who looked around also didn’t seem to have any intention of staying. They were just chatting and then came in out of curiosity when I left. What fun would a dusty workshop have?

Jeongyeon’s room is on the second floor, but it’s far away so her privacy isn’t invaded. The house is so big.

The employees who do the work can stay in a separate, sizable annex outside.

Maintaining the large garden in the geometrically designed yard was no easy task. I had to keep calling in the person who had been tending the garden for a long time.

“I got a call from my mom and she asked me to send a private jet.”

“huh?”

“Mom misses Jamie.”

The house is big, so it’s not like there’s no room to stay.

“What about your father?”

“I told you that you’d be fine. I got in trouble for saying that too. It’s not like there’s anyone working at home, so what’s there to worry about?”

“Honey, Mom doesn’t say anything, but I think she’s lonely. I think it’s probably menopause.”

“… … .”

At times like this, the man had nothing to say.

“Yongwon, you have to be nice to your mother at times like this. Send a private plane right now. I’ll take you around and show you around LA.”

“You? It’s great that you’re full of enthusiasm, but it seems like there will be paparazzi following you around.”

When mother came here, it meant the appearance of new prey.

“I’ll take you around. Mom also wanted to go to the place I work. My co-worker, Suzy, also wanted to see you.”
