68. Star developer Choi Jong-hak (1)
“Wait. Give me that phone… … .”
Park Myung-hoon whispered as Jong-hak took his cell phone and left for a while.
“You seem to be in a lot of trouble these days. After all, a star developer!”
Hong Min-seok smiles and says a word.
“CD-nim Park Myung-hoon seems to say that there is no such thing.”
“yes? Haven’t I ever suffered like that before?”
“Ah, I saw you drinking coffee with a Nero Soft official at the Gangnam Intersection Cafe last week.”
“… … !”
Park Myung-hoon is startled.
“Yesterday, I met with a Play Funds official at Starbucks a little far from Pangyo Station… … .”
“stop!”
I tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
People like Lee Young-ae and Han Seol-ah, who were eating together, began pouring out criticism.
“He himself is being offered a scout, but he slanders his colleagues as if nothing like that happened… … .”
“Wow, Myunghoon Park CD. I didn’t see that… … .”
“Oh no, that… … !”
Park Myung-hoon, who was sweating, let out a deep sigh and waved his hand.
“sorry. I was a bad guy.”
“I really hate snakes.”
“People are really bad.”
“yes yes. Feel free to curse. I have sinned, so I have to bear it… … .”
After a while, Choi Jong-hak came back and asked with a puzzled face.
“What, what’s the mood like?”
A quiet word.
“Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan wants to see you.”
The aftermath was extraordinary.
“Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan is talking about the founder of Netfunz, right? Did he just call? Directly to Jonghak PD?!
“Wow, to the extent that Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan called me… … !”
One of the giants in the Korean game industry.
Choi Jong-hak who mentions him is blunt.
Hong Min-seok shows interest.
“Why are you looking?”
“Why? He must be asking me to come and make a game for him. You are in a hurry these days.”
In fact, the game industry as a whole is in a recession.
Because it was failing by all means to release a new work.
Except for the neckline.
Hong Min-seok asked.
“What are you going to do?”
“what… … I need to meet you sometime. Anyway, that person will move directly.”
Looking at the people talking, Taeyeon thought.
‘Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan… … .’
* * *
A few days ago, Taeyeon had a private meeting with Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan.
A good-looking, empty impression.
At first glance, it resembles a bodhisattva.
However, the rumor that was handed down was an extraordinary person.
‘Iron blood.’
Today, he was the person who raised Netfunz to the level of four major game companies.
It is said that he is as big as Chairman Yoo Jin-seong.
“Thank you for meeting me. Actually, I had something I wanted to say to CEO Taeyeon Yoo, so I requested a meeting like this.”
He brought the point right away.
“I would like to take the position of CEO of Netfunz.”
It was what was expected.
“I am already the CEO of Nexple.”
“You’re not going to stay at that company for the rest of your life, are you?”
“… … .”
“I am not asking you to come right away. Of course, it would be great if that was possible, but… … .”
Seeing that there is no change in expression on Taeyeon’s face, she quickly changes her words.
“Even if that’s not the case, wouldn’t there be plenty of time and opportunities? Either to me or to CEO Yoo.”
He quenched his throat and continued persuasion in earnest.
“I will not hold back my full support for CEO Yoo. I will treat you the best in the country.”
He also talked about his vision.
“I want to make Netfunz a world-class game company. Rather than simply leaning on a platform, I dream of creating a content kingdom by building an independent platform and game device like companies such as Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Steam.”
he rants
“It’s impossible for me alone, but I think I can achieve it if CEO Yoo gives me strength!”
However, Taeyeon was unresponsive.
I ask with a weak face.
“CEO Yu already has a firm mind.”
“That’s right.”
“Because what the hell did Neckple promise… … .”
Instead of answering, Taeyeon drank a glass of water.
That doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it.
“all right. It seems to be a meaningless conversation any more.”
The moment he got up from his seat, the food he had reserved came out.
The restaurant waiter was taken aback, but he left without a word.
Taeyeon said to the employee who was at a loss.
“Please set the food.”

After lunch, Choi Jong-hak requested a personal meeting.
“Hyung, have you met Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan?”
“huh. already finished talking
“What were you talking about?”
“A story asking me to come as CEO.”
“Looks like you declined. Well, he’s a gentleman who even rejected the offer of Mercury Games, so he won’t be satisfied with any offer.”
And then, quietly, he asks
“Tell me honestly. What level of proposal did you receive from the vice president of Mercury Games during this trip to the US?”
Choi Jong-hak was like a brother.
It means you have nothing to hide.
“A salary of over $10 million, a stake in Mercury Games, a house, a car, a secretary… … .”
Shrug your shoulders.
“He boasted that he would make it a world-class IT conglomerate.”
“and… … .”
Choi Jong-hak with his mouth wide open.
“But I thought it would be possible for him… … Because they are already world-rich.”
“Well, I heard that he is the co-founder of Mercury Games with a market capitalization of over 40,000… … .”
Choi Jong-hak asks with a strange smile.
“What shall I do? In fact, it’s a very good position to be the CEO of Netfunz. If you can’t go right away, I think you can go after Pandaemonium launches successfully. Then the ransom will be much higher.”
“I guess so.”
He had not yet brought up an offer for the position of CEO of Mars Games.
“I won’t say anything even if I go.”
“of course. It’s a good spot for anyone to see.”
“Do you really think so? Are you sure you won’t be sad if I go?”
“Isn’t the relationship between you and me so thin that you feel sad about that?”
At that, Choi Jong-hak smiled.
“yes. We’re not related by blood, but we’re like real brothers!”
“If I had received the offer while I was not the CEO of Nexple, I would have accepted it without looking back.”
There was sincerity in Taeyeon’s tone.
Netfunds is huge enough to be counted as one of the top 4 game companies in the country, and Chairman Seok-hwan Jeong is a giant of the era who built the company with his bare hands. If you’re with that person, there’s a lot you can get.”
“You mean that? Hmm… … .”
Choi Jong-hak, who was worried, grinned.
“I made up my mind!”
Taeyeon didn’t have to ask.
‘It might be a much better opportunity than the Mars Games representative position. Mars is just the beginning, but Netfunz has already laid a huge foundation.”

Choi Jong-hak met Netfunz Chairman Jung Seok-hwan.
“nice to see you. It is the final study.”
“I’m Jeong Seok-hwan from Netfunz. Thank you so much for willingly responding to my sudden request for a meeting.”

Meal started.
“How is it going? I heard that you entered Netfunz as a new project… … .”
“There is a game originally planned by Taeyeon hyung and I called Pandaemonium.”
“Ah, I heard that too. You say you share a world view with Pantheon, which CEO Yoo is directing right now?”
“that’s right. The pantheon of the ten thousand gods, the pantheon of the ten thousand gods. It’s a game that started with the idea that the two factions would have their own stories at first, and then crossover each other when the water rises to a certain extent.”
“Oh, so you’re saying that the two games will eventually collaborate with each other?”
“This is still a secret… … Well, can I trust you and tell you?”
“Sure!”
“We plan to show that the two forces will face each other in earnest through another independent game called Ragnarok Origin, through the races of the surface world. It is a story that takes place when mortals get caught up in the battle between gods and demons.”
Composition and ideas beyond imagination!
Jeong Seok-hwan hurriedly asked.
“Whose idea is that?”
“It was Taeyeon hyung’s idea. In fact, the reason why I stayed at the company was because I wanted to make Ragnarok Origin.”
“Do you still have that feeling?”
“Not sure. It seems like a lot of time has passed… … .”
Choi Jong-hak smiled at the end of his words.
Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan, who read the hopeful message there, started betting because he wanted to be at this time.
“I’ll give you 20,000 shares as a third-party dividend.”
“… … !”
20,000 shares in the gaming conglomerate Netfunz?
It was a sobering proposal.
“There is an annual salary of 400 million. But you know? The representatives are all contract workers, so they renew their contracts once a year.”
“yes. Isn’t that some sort of verification procedure?”
“that’s right. I will look at the course of the year and if there are no problems, I will continue to raise my salary. To the extent that CEO Choi Jong-hak doesn’t feel disappointed!”
Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan was a man with a big barrel.
Choi Jong-hak, who knew that fact, nodded.
“You must have heard about the situation now. CEO Junhwan Kim is ruining the company. I scouted myself, and there were also profits brought to the company, so I wanted to cover it until the end, but… … .”
“It must be difficult. I heard it too. Representative Junhwan Kim. They said it was very serious right now.”
“It is beyond imagination. I feel completely stabbed in the back of the head. I never thought he would go that far.”
hard-looking face.
Choi Jong-hak was surprised inwardly.
‘To the extent that a person who was called iron-blooded in his youth had this kind of expression… … .’
It must mean that the heartache is more severe than expected.
“I’m sorry to say this here, but… … I think it’s the same thing that hasn’t been verified yet. I see that being good at directing and being good at managing a company are two different things.”
Choi Jong-hak asked.
“Where did you look at me and decide to recruit me, can I ask for an answer?”
“Sure.”
Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan smiled.
“First of all, it’s great that you’re clearly aware of your own shortcomings, and because of that, you’re hesitating instead of immediately accepting a huge offer. When I suggested it, CEO Kim Jun-hwan took it as if he had been waiting for it.”
“ah… … .”
“In fact, the reference check for PD Choi Jong-hak has already been completed. I improved my development skills and the internal evaluation was very good. He is well-liked, has excellent mercenary skills, has built up his pride, and never ignores others… … .”
Trust and anticipation shine in his eyes.
“It’s the same color as green, so you learned it from CEO Yoo Tae-yeon, right?”
“He is my master. In fact, everything I do comes from him.”
“I heard that. And if you look at CEO Yoo Tae-yeon’s steps… … I was convinced that the disciple, PD Choi Jong-hak, could be trusted enough.”
“Even though it’s embarrassing, it feels good to hear that a great person like Chairman Jeong Seok-hwan gives a good evaluation.”
“I make a formal offer. Jong Hak PD. Please take the position of CEO of Netfunz.”
“… … .”
“I am not asking you to decide right away. It’s good even after launching an ongoing project. If I can get a talent like PD Choi Jong-hak, I can wait patiently enough for that amount of time.”
“Um… … .”
“I’ll wait, so please think about it seriously.”
Choi Jong-hak nodded.
“I will seriously think about it!”
