The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate - The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate chapter 184

184. Cooperation of the Century (1)

Sadly, Jeong Jin-hwan had no memory of the past.

But apart from his memories with Hoyeong, his ability was real.

In his previous life, he was in charge of all sales and marketing of the software Hoyoung made.

Of course, one of the main reasons was that Hoyoung’s software was perfect, but it was also purely his ability to create a connection with a large company like Myeongseong.

Perhaps thanks to such outstanding ability, Jung Jin-hwan was already posting remarkable and unrivaled performance.

Thanks to that, he was able to serve as an assistant manager shortly after joining the company, and he was developing his presence within the company by making performance announcements at meetings at the level of manager or higher.

smart-

As Hoyoung was finishing coding a new version of the spreadsheet in the H&H office, someone knocked.

“Come on in.”

He has his office on the top floor of Hermes, but Hoyoung used to come to H&H often.

In particular, when there is an issue related to Chronos or Hangeul, as in recent years, I spend more time at H&H.

So, Lee Jin-chan did not clean up Ho-young’s private studio/office and continued to maintain it.

“hello!”

“Welcome.”

The person who came to Hoyoung’s room was Jeong Jinhwan.

He was tightly armed.

“I heard the announcement well. Thank you so much for sharing the good news that we’ve definitely surpassed Microsoft.”

“Oh, no. I just spoke according to the script.”

Hoyeong smiled at the still frozen Jung Jinhwan.

“Do you know why I called you?”

“Oh, no.”

Hoyoung smiled and said.

“Actually, there is no particular reason.”

“yes?”

“We are the same age, and we went to college together. do you know?”

“yes. I knew that.”

“Five. okay?”

Jinhwan Jeong nodded.

“Do you really want to know? There is probably no one who doesn’t know you at school, or maybe in Korea now.”

“is that so? haha. It’s embarrassing. So do you know why I called you?”

“I do not know.”

“Well, I called both sides. Let’s get along well in the future. I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Yep. Just speak.”

Jeong Jin-hwan replied with a serious expression.

Hoyeong really said that we should get along, but Jinhwan Jung took the meaning of the words that we should get along a little differently.

‘If I do well here, I can be recognized.’

Hoyoung felt a bit sad when he noticed Jinhwan’s heart, but he couldn’t show it.

Jeong Jin-hwan has no memory of Ho-young, but if Ho-young expressed such feelings, he could be mistaken for a crazy person.

“Are you currently in the sales and marketing department?”

“That’s right.”

“I heard that Assistant Manager Jung’s sales skills are so good. Would you like to use that ability?”

Hoyeong handed a document to Jung Jinhwan.

“this···. What is it?”

“As you well know, our company is a company that conducts B2B and B2C together.”

“Yes.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that we have already dominated the Korean market.”

“yes. Except for a few Microsoft geeks, the operating system is Kronos.”

Hoyoung nodded.

“And in the overseas market, I think B2C is on track to some extent. But the problem is overseas B2B. Foreign companies still use Windows a lot. What do you think could be the reason?”

Jeong Jin-hwan thought for a moment and then said.

“They’ll think there’s no need to take the risk.”

“Ohh.”

Hoyoung unknowingly let out a small exclamation.

It was because Jinhwan gave the correct answer at once.

“Right. If you ask ordinary people, the quality has not caught up yet. It doesn’t fit your mood. etc., in fact, it may have a little influence, but it is not the decisive reason. If the company has used Windows until now, it continues to use Windows like inertia. I don’t want to change it to Kronos and cause problems in my work.”

Anyway, the general idea was that there was no need for special functions in the current office computer, and that as long as the spreadsheet and word processor worked well, it was good.

Windows also had good office programs such as MS Word and Excel, so corporate managers let them use Windows as they normally would.

“So what is this document?”

“These are the American companies I set as my primary targets. Please go to the US and give these companies business for our Kronos supply.”

Jeong Jin-hwan’s eyes widened.

“Am I in America?”

“yes. I heard from Manager Seong of the marketing team that he can already speak English at the level of a native speaker, isn’t there any problem?”

Jeong Jin-hwan could not answer right away and stared blankly at Ho-yeong.

He seemed bewildered by the unexpected news.

“why. Aren’t you confident? Then send someone else.”

“Oh, no. You can do it. Please leave it to me.”

Jeong Jin-hwan suddenly came to his senses and spoke powerfully.

Hoyoung looked at him and smiled with a genuinely satisfied face.

“like. So, why don’t you go back today and review this list. Could we brief you by tomorrow?”

“yes. You can.”

Jeong Jin-hwan replied with a trustworthy face.

“Please. Then see you tomorrow afternoon.”

“Yep.”

Jeong Jin-hwan cherished the document Ho-young gave him as if it were a treasure and left Ho-young’s room.

Hoyeong looked at Jinhwan’s visit for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said something unheard of.

“You, too, live by doing everything you want to do in this life.”

Hoyoung recalled the conversation he had with Jeong Jinhwan in his previous life whenever he drank.

‘How fun would it be to wander the world? No, even in America, I wish I could walk around comfortably.’

‘He’s still walking around.’

‘Isn’t there anything else besides following your academic society? Other than that, I want to live in America while stopping by various cities. About two years.’

‘Then I have a lot of money now, but I’m taking a break for about two years.’

‘Are you kidding me? Then what about my wife and kids? Just live in Korea? I’ve been through this life I have to promise the next life.’

In fact, the companies in the file that Hoyeong handed over to Jung Jinhwan had special standards.

‘Companies that are classified as medium-sized or higher, but do not use Cronos.’

Of course, it is natural to select one company per city.

Ho-yeong wanted to grant Jeong Jin-hwan’s wish in this life.

Fortunately (?) In this life, Jung Jin-hwan is not even married yet.

Since he had served in the military, there was no problem with his long-term stay in the United States.

Therefore, he will be able to fully enjoy both business and travel.

‘And it seems that the answer is not to get involved with me any more.’

Hoyoung decided to let Jung Jinhwan go from his heart.

In the previous life, he betrayed himself because of Jo Nam-sik, and it is clear that he must have suffered Chidogon because of Ho-yeong’s escape.

Maybe that’s why I wanted to keep my distance in this life.

For Jung Jinhwan.

However, Hoyoung was determined.

‘You are the biggest problem. Jo Nam-sik. I have to decide properly.’

Without thinking about it, the culprit behind everything was Cho Nam-shik.

So now, Ho-young is working hard to prevent Nam-sik Jo from gaining power, and the plan was successfully implemented to some extent.

Hoyoung vowed that he would not lose a single 100 won or a single grain of rice to Jo Nam-sik in this life.

.

.

Redwood, USA, where Microsoft is headquartered.

There was a person living in a huge house of 4000 pyeong there.

It was Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft.

He was always in the habit of laughing, but lately he wasn’t laughing at all.

No, it was no exaggeration to say that I was going through the biggest depression of my life.

Bill Gates’ personal library.

It’s still broad daylight, but Bill Gates is drinking his whiskey.

Jimmy was sitting in front of him.

“The president seems to be overdoing it. I think you’d better stop drinking.”

“Jimmy. Please, can you please leave me alone?”

“Do you know how many days it has been? I can’t anymore. You’re not even out of the company. why are you like this I can’t believe the president I know is right.”

Jimmy may sound a little cheeky, but he said it with genuine anger at Bill Gates.

When Bill Gates saw Jimmy, he sighed and opened his mouth.

“The share has caught up. Do you know what this means?”

Jimmy didn’t bother to answer.

Not only did he know what that meant, he was well aware that Bill Gates wasn’t really asking for an answer.

“It means that very few windows have been sold lately. Up to Chronos 2, the sales rate was still evaluated to be similar. But the truth was just catching up. We were just pretending not to know.”

Seeing Bill Gates talking self-deprecatingly, Jimmy felt pitiful inside.

He has been right next to Bill Gates for more than 10 years.

Is that why? It seemed that the feelings of Bill Gates were conveyed.

‘A person who has only been victorious all his life…’

Bill Gates was a man who had been unbelievably successful all his life.

He easily passed Harvard University, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States, no, in the world, and even dropped out of Harvard University, which everyone envyed, and founded Microsoft.

And Microsoft defeated numerous challengers and rose to become the world’s leading IT company.

‘But H&H… No, Hoyoung Yun suddenly appeared. When I first confirmed my presence at ECEC in 1990, I should have stepped on it in the bud…’

Even if you regret it now, you cannot fix what has already happened.

Yun Ho-young’s appearance ruined everything.

“As you well know, there is only one very innovative technology for an OS that has surpassed its share to exceed its share again. But right now, nothing comes to mind. As it is now, Microsoft will disappear into the back roads of history.”

Bill Gates was pessimistic about Microsoft’s future prospects.

He knew better than anyone what the OS companies were saying.

Because we’ve always seen how OS companies go beyond Microsoft.

“President. If we try harder, we will definitely win again.”

“haha. It’s impossible. Did you see the perfection of Chronos 3? Can we recreate an OS like that in a few years?”

“…”

Jimmy had no answer.

This is because Bill Gates’ words hit him right in the middle.

In fact, when he first saw Chronos 3, he was surprised by the feeling of experiencing a new world.

“I···. I have no confidence to win.”

Bill Gates said grimly.

Jimmy felt mixed emotions when he saw himself who couldn’t confidently say he could win, and Bill Gates, who had become like a different person.

squeezing

In the end, Jimmy had no choice but to pour a glass of whiskey that Bill Gates drank into his own glass.

jump-

At that moment, the door to the library where Bill Gates and Jimmy were located burst open.

Since no one was coming, the two looked at the door in surprise.

“I’m trying to listen quietly outside, so I can’t really listen.”

“Muh, Melinda?”

The person who opened the door was Melinda, who had married Bill Gates earlier this year.

“Did I just marry someone like this? It’s almost to the point where I doubt that the man sitting there is really the Bill Gates I trusted and married. What difference does it make if you’re just frustrated? If I were you, I would rather cooperate with Yun Ho-young and get through this crisis.”

“Cooperation?”

“To be precise, rather than collaborating, we just have to acknowledge the victory of Cronos and go back to the company that makes the application. Bill, you said before that you wanted to sell the rights to MS-DOS to Steve Jobs and focus on developing Microsoft Office.”

Bill Gates was scolded by her without any gloomy expression.

“why. You have a lot of money, so are you going to retire now?”

“It’s not…”

“Then what are you doing sitting here? So does Jimmy. He said he was convincing Bill, are you two sitting down and having a drink?”

“It’s not…”

“No, what is it? Put that glass down right now.”

“Yep.”

Jimmy and Bill Gates slammed their drinks from their hands and put them down like obedient children.

‘It seems that the person suddenly changed after the president got married. Was that the reason?’

Seeing Bill Gates for the first time, Jimmy thought to himself.

Today he is Bill Gates with whom he has been together for more than 10 years, but I thought he saw a lot of new faces.
