Episode 198: Young Entrepreneurs’ Night
“Thank you, driver.”
Dojun took out 500,000 won from a bank near Gwangalli and handed it to the taxi driver. He thought about giving by card, but it was a time when many taxis did not accept cards yet.
“Oh, thank you, sir. Have a nice trip.”
As the taxi left, Dojun looked around. Gwangalli Beach was visible between the tall buildings.
‘The Palace Hotel… ‘There it is.’
Dojun moved to the lobby of the Palace Hotel where he was supposed to meet Taeyeon.
‘Aren’t you here yet? Well, you said you were coming by KTX, right?’
I thought Taeyeon Oh would come by plane, but she said it was too busy so she said she was coming by KTX.
While I was waiting in the lobby for a while, I received a call. Of course she thought it would be Taeyeon, but she turned out to be Song Na-yeon.
Dojun answered the phone right away.
– it’s me.
“Seeing as you’re not using any honorifics, I guess there’s no one around?”
Nayeon was a special celebrity in Korea. Nowadays, when many singers shine for a year or two and then disappear, it is not easy to enjoy popularity for nearly 10 years.
Naturally, people were very interested in Nayeon’s private life, so they were careful about what they said or even sent text messages to.
– huh. I’m alone.
“OK. But why did you do that? She said she was going to catch Mina and that she would contact me again. Are you with Mina by any chance?”
Nayeon spoke in a surprised voice at Dojun’s words.
– how did you know?
“It’s obvious. The two of them drink together every day, shout loudly… Ugh, let’s not talk. Anyway, you two have no secrets, right? “Mina said she was going to Gwangalli, so she must have told you too.”
– Mina said she wasn’t talking to you. How did you know?
“well. “Anyway, where is Mina?”
Dojun wanted to quickly meet Mina and connect her with Jang Minho somehow.
– hmm… Where are you now?
“me? “Here in the lobby of the Palace Hotel.”
– okay. Just wait a moment, I’ll go there. I’ll be there in 10, no, 15 minutes.
“Hey, Songna… … .”
The phone hung up before Dojun could speak.
“Ugh. “I’m impatient.”
It was when Dojun shook his head. Someone came up behind Dojun and shouted.
“Wow!”
Dojun looked back with a puzzled expression. There was Oh Tae-yeon with a cat hand shape.
“What?”
“What are you talking about? That’s what I’m saying. “How can people not be surprised?”
“Is this surprising?”
Although it is a talent that has now disappeared, Dojun once had the talent for ‘shooting’.
‘How can you be surprised when you can see everything coming because there is a silver lining?’
Do-jun ruffled the hair of Oh Tae-yeon, who looked a little upset.
“Ahh! “I got my hair done this morning!”
“Taeyeon, you look more attractive now!”
“really?”
“huh. “I feel like a complete crazy bitch.”
“Ahh!”
Oh Tae-yeon struggled and tried to bite Do-jun’s forearm. But Dojun quickly dodged and said.
“By the way, are you at a business meeting? “Didn’t you say you had to go there?”
“That’s important now! “I’m not leaving today until I bite you!”
It was then. The people in the lobby who were watching Do-jun and Oh Tae-yeon suddenly started whispering and looked to one side.
A woman wearing a tight dress and sunglasses was approaching.
Even at a glance, the force is different from that of ordinary people, so everyone asks, ‘Who is it?’ He looked at the woman.
A woman came up to Dojun and took off her sunglasses and said.
“joy. “The person who even proposed marriage is here hanging out with another woman?”
At that moment, the people in the lobby shouted in surprise.
“It’s Song Na-yeon!”
“and! “It’s really Song Na-yeon.”
“She’s really pretty in person, isn’t she?”
“How can that face be in its 30s? “I would believe it even if you said you were 20 years old.”
Do-jun pushed Oh Tae-yeon’s forehead and spoke to Song Na-yeon.
“Are you here? “You came early?”
“It’s close by. But maybe you should have come later?”
“no. it’s okay.”
Oh Tae-yeon, who was watching the conversation between Song Na-yeon and Do-jun, opened her eyes small and said.
“Oppa, do you know Song Na-yeon?”
“huh.”
“how?”
“hmm… “Her younger sister sings with Song Na-yeon.”
Oh Tae-yeon tilted her head at Do-jun’s words, and Song Na-yeon burst into laughter.
“Anyway, let’s go. “They said they came to catch Mina.”
Do-jun nodded and said to Oh Tae-yeon.
“I’ll go and get my younger brother in a moment, so go first. “I’ll contact you.”
“Where are you going!” “If it doesn’t take too long, let’s go together!”
Do-jun asked Song Na-yeon.
“where are you?”
Song Na-yeon pointed to the outside of the front door with her finger. I could see the white sand of Gwangalli Beach and the sea and a cruise ship floating on the sea.
“That cruise ship.”
“and! “How did he get there?”
It was then. Taeyeon Oh said.
“uh? “Is that where I go too?”
* * *
The cruise ship I saw up close was bigger than I thought.
‘It seems bigger than a Han River cruise ship, but are you saying you’re using it for a party?’
Dojun asked Taeyeon.
“How do you rent a cruise ship like this?”
“You pay to rent a passenger ship that is under maintenance. “Money is everything.”
Dojun looked shocked.
‘That was stupid. I only had a lot of money, but I didn’t know what I could do with it.’
Dojun had never thought of renting a cruise ship and having a party.
‘I guess I should ask Taeyeon how rich people live.’
When we got to the dock, there was a person who looked like an employee standing there.
“How did you get here?”
Taeyeon Oh stepped forward.
“I came here because I was invited.”
Just a little while ago, Oh Tae-yeon was a noisy and annoying woman, but here it was different.
Taeyeon Oh, who had completely changed her appearance and tone of voice, spoke with a haughty expression.
“I’m Oh Tae-yeon from Oseong.”
Taeyeon said that and handed over a VIP invitation. The employee who received it opened her eyes wide and said:
“Now, please wait a moment.”
After a while, several people jumped out of the cruise ship. At the front was a man in his late 30s wearing casual clothes, and he looked happy when he saw Oh Tae-yeon.
“Oh, CEO Taeyeon! welcome.”
The emoticon company created by Taeyeon was experiencing tremendous growth. As smartphones and CocoaTalk spread, they gained great popularity, and above all, the characters were a huge success.
In particular, Dogmeong, Yangyang, and Quack Quack were so popular among children that they were even made into animations.
The youngest daughter of the Ohsung Group Chairman and a successful entrepreneur. For young business men, Oh Tae-yeon was her greatest bride.
Yoo Myung-soo was also one of the people who was secretly targeting Oh Tae-yeon.
‘It’s Oh Tae-yeon! ‘It’s better than Oh Tae-sik’s arrival.’
It seemed like something that had been difficult suddenly became clear.
“It’s been a while, Director Yoo Myung-soo. “I saw you at the Young Entrepreneurs’ Night last year, right?”
“yes. At that time, you mentioned a collaboration between our sportswear and characters.”
Taeyeon said with a bright smile.
“Let’s talk in more detail later.”
“yes.”
“really. “There is someone I can introduce to you.”
Taeyeon said while looking at Dojun next to her.
“This is Black Cat Studio CEO Hwang Do-jun.”
“Nice to meet you. “This is Hwang Do-jun.”
Dojun said as he shook Yu Myeongsu’s hand.
“Ah, my name is Dongwha PLUS Director Yu Myeong-soo. But, if it’s Black Cat Studio… “I see you’re making a video?”
“I’m making a game. “Our main focus is on smartphone games.”
Yoo Myung-soo’s expression changed slightly at Do-jun’s answer. It was a clear disregard. But it quickly disappeared. This was because the person who brought Do-jun was Oh Tae-yeon.
“Oh, I see. welcome. “Let’s all go inside.”
Once inside the cruise ship, a huge hall appeared. It was originally a place with seats, but it seemed like they had all been remodeled and made into a banquet hall.
As Oh Tae-yeon entered, numerous people gathered. Dojun felt rather fortunate.
‘Everyone is interested in Taeyeon. ‘Let me escape through this gap.’
It was when Dojun was about to pull out. Yu Myeong-su laughed and shouted loudly.
“Ohsung Group’s General Manager Oh Tae-sik was unable to come due to personal reasons, but CEO Oh Tae-yeon came. ah! The person next to you is said to be an acquaintance of CEO Taeyeon Oh. “I had a quick chat with him, and he said he was making a smartphone game.”
At Yu Myeong-su’s words, I could hear whispering around me.
– huh? Making a game on your smartphone? Who does that?
– You made games on feature phones too. Look at something like that.
– ah! But that doesn’t make money, does it? I heard that it would be difficult to make 100 million won in sales? Plus, all the money is taken by the telecommunications company, right?
– I know? Why is Oh Tae-yeon with someone like that? It’s not up to standard.
– under! You pathetic people. Can’t you tell just by looking at it? You look great! The face is also decent. I guess I use my energy well at night.
About 50 young men and women were whispering. The men were whispering because they didn’t want to see Do-jun next to Oh Tae-yeon, and the women were jealous because they didn’t like Oh Tae-yeon getting all the attention as soon as she came.
Their voices were small, but this was a hall, and both Do-jun and Oh Tae-yeon could hear them.
“really!”
Taeyeon Oh couldn’t hold back and tried to say something. At that time, Do-jun held Oh Tae-yeon’s hand and whispered to her.
“Hold on.”
“but.”
Dojun looked at everyone and spoke softly to Taeyeon.
“I will do it for you.”
* * *
Yu Myeong-soo was happy that things seemed to be going his way.
‘This is like blowing your nose without using your hands.’
Yu Myeong-soo had no intention of ending it like this. Yoo Myung-soo looked at his lifelong nemesis, Choi Myung-seop of ST.
‘Oh Tae-yeon, who you like so much, has arrived. But you came with a man? Can you bear it? I laid it out for you, right? Should I step forward?’
Yu Myeong-soo looked at Choi Myeong-seop. Just as he thought, Choi Myung-seop’s face turned red. But he kept his lips tightly shut and remained silent.
‘You can’t do that.’
Yoo Myung-soo looked at Choi Myeong-seop and then at Do-jun and asked.
“It’s a smartphone game. I think it will be very promising in the future. However, since smartphones are also phones, wouldn’t game sales ultimately vary depending on the carrier’s discretion? What do you think, ST Director Choi Myeong-seop?”
In front of everyone, Yoo Myung-soo was sarcastically saying that Do-jun was a subcontractor for a telecommunications company. It also pointed to ST.
‘Now, how are you going to answer, Choi Myung-seop? Are you going to destroy that person named Hwang Do-jun? Or are you going to be polite? The Choi Myung-seop I know is never the kind of person who loses what he has.’
It was just as Yu Myeong-su thought. ST (Seoul Telecom) Choi Myung-seop said while glaring at Do-jun.
“of course. However, we are doing our best to coexist with game companies. “It will continue to be that way.”
It was a standard answer. However, Dojun did not like this answer.
Do-jun looked at Yu Myeong-soo.
‘I don’t know why you’re acting like this… Thank you. ‘For saving me from having to fight.’
Do-jun said while looking at ST Choi Myeong-seop.
“Probably, that effort won’t be necessary. “From now on.”
Everyone gathered here looked surprised at Dojun’s words. ST was the 3rd largest company in the business world. And Choi Myeong-seop was his successor.
Everyone gathered here made things out of nothing to get closer to Choi Myung-seop, but Do-jun was criticizing Choi Myung-seop in front of him.
Choi Myung-seop’s eyebrows rose.
“that is… Could you please elaborate on what you mean?”
“Sure. Smartphone games, or rather all smartphone programs, will be published differently from the feature phone era. In the feature phone era, telecom companies did everything, but smartphones were distributed through the App Store. In the smartphone era, telecommunication companies will only play a role in communication. “Google and Apple will play a role in the programs that carriers are currently running on feature phones.”
At Do-jun’s words, Choi Myung-seop glared at Do-jun and said.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
Choi Myung-seop was not the only one. People whispered to Dojun.
“No, does it make sense to distribute the program without a telecommunications company?”
“I’m using a smartphone right now, and it’s a bit like that.”
“Then telecommunications companies can also create app stores, right?”
“I know? If Google and Apple are doing it, telecommunication companies can do it too, right? What is that guy? “Why do you take sides with Google and Apple like that?”
“It’s obvious. Oh Tae-yeon is next to you, so you’re bringing up the names of Google and Apple, right? “If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m a friend of Google’s Larry Page!”
Dojun, who heard people’s stories, smiled and picked up his smartphone. He pressed the video call button, the speaker button, and then the call button.
After a while, a person appeared on Dojun’s cell phone screen.
“Larry.”
– Dojun! Are you really going to do this? Are you going back without seeing me again? They said they only went there after seeing Bill Gates!
“Sorry, I have urgent business to attend to. Instead, you apologize like this.”
– Android! I told you several times that a new version was released! You should review it!
“sorry. Instead, as an apology, I’ll introduce you to a few people.”
Do-jun approached Choi Myeong-seop and said, handing him his cell phone.
“This is Larry Page. “Let’s say hello.”
Choi Myung-seop completely froze at the sight of Larry Page’s face on the screen.
‘ji… It’s the real Larry Page!’
– high. Who are you?
“jeon… jeon… ST. No, Seoul Telecom’s… … .”
– Dojun, I don’t think this person speaks English well? Can you please translate?
When Do-jun looked at Myung-seop Choi, his eyes were wide open. No matter how well ST was doing in Korea, it was nothing compared to Google.
Moreover, because YouTube grew faster than in the previous life, Google’s name was higher now.
“hmm. Since he was the director of a leading telecommunication company in Korea, I thought it would be good for us to get to know each other, so I wanted to introduce him to him. That won’t work. “Then I’ll tell you who you might really like.”
– I don’t need anything. I need you!
Dojun said with a smile.
“Do you think you will change your mind when you see this person?”
Dojun handed the cell phone to Taeyeon.
Taeyeon looked at Dojun with surprised eyes.
“Oppa, why me?”
“Hello, I’m Larry Page.”
“I know! “What are you saying?”
Dojun sighed and said.
“At least say hello.”
Taeyeon said, waving her hand with a trembling expression.
“hello. jeon… “It’s Taeyeon.”
– My name is Larry Page. But Dojun, what are you doing now?
Dojun said while looking at Larry.
“What are you doing? don’t work “I’m working at Google.”
– What happened?”
“Taeyeon, who I was introduced to a little while ago, is the owner of Korea’s Ohsung Group. “We are currently developing the next smartphone model, and if you speak well, we may be able to change the OS to Android.”
LCD Larry Page shouted in surprise.
– Oh, my God! calm? nice to meet you! Now that I look at her, she is an amazing beauty. Would you like to come visit San Francisco sometime? With Dojun. I know a place that’s awesome.
As soon as Dojun’s story came up, Taeyeon’s frozen expression cleared up.
“That sounds fun. Still, MS is telling me to come to Seattle these days? Should we stop by San Fran and then go to Seattle?”
– Oh, my God! You should never go to Seattle! Dojun, you won! I will do my best to create a new version of Android, so please tell Taeyeon well.
Everyone was listening to Larry, Dojun, and Taeyeon’s story with blank expressions.
No one was interested in Choi Myung-seop anymore. This was the same for famous trees.
‘This wasn’t what I wanted! ‘Why did this happen?’
Yu Myeong-soo looked at Do-jun.
‘no. Let’s think about it calmly, Dojun Hwang. I don’t know how that guy knows Larry Page, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is the CEO of a small company. Then when the call is over, I can bring it back into my flow!’
It was when Yu Myeong-soo thought about it. Larry Page said loudly.
– Dojun, you have to take responsibility. You’re the director of Google! No, you were the majority shareholder before that! So make sure to make this happen!
