Episode 276 Jobs’ Gift
Dojun came to the ‘New Product Launch Event’ at Jobs’ invitation. Perhaps because it was an Apple new product launch event, the event hall was packed with people.
“Is this announcement being made by Tim Cook?”
“I guess Jobs is having a hard time. Did you see the paparazzi footage? I wouldn’t be surprised if he died today.”
“Is Jobs really going to leave like this? It would be a shame. He was a giant who opened the era of personal computers with Apple Computers and the era of smartphones with the iPhone.”
“No matter how great a giant you are, there is nothing you can do against time and illness.”
Dojun snickered as he listened to the people sitting nearby talking.
‘I wonder what these people’s faces would look like if it were Jobs instead of Tim Cook.’
After a while, the presentation began. Jobs appeared on the podium wearing a black turtleneck and jeans.
Dojun looked to the side. He saw people there with their eyes wide open.
“What? It’s Jobs.”
People were muttering because Jobs’ appearance now was so different from the one he had seen in the video a while ago.
“Your face looks good. I think you’ve gained some weight since the last time I saw you.”
“What happened? Jobs is going to die soon?”
Dojun looked ahead.
‘I guess you’ve been managing it well in the meantime.’
As people say, Jobs has changed a lot. The sullen look we saw last time was nowhere to be seen.
After a while, the lights went out and the lights on the podium came on. Jobs walked to the center of the podium with heavy steps.
After greeting the audience, Jobs took a cell phone out of his pocket.
The screen behind Jobs showed the words [iPhone 4S] and an image of an iPhone. Up until this point, everyone had expected it to some extent, so the audience calmly looked at Jobs.
Towards that audience, Jobs held the iPhone close to his face and spoke.
“Hey, SIRI. How’s the weather today?”
[Today’s weather will be clear in the morning and rain in the afternoon. There is a 70% chance of rain.]
[The current temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.]
People looked startled at the sudden sound of a woman’s voice.
“What… What is it? Where is it coming from?”
“Is that an iPhone?”
People expected Jobs to explain the new upgraded device in the 4S.
But Jobs showed off new features rather than upgraded components.
“Dear everyone. Introducing a new artificial intelligence assistant, SIRI.”
As Jobs spoke, a message appeared on the screen behind him, along with what the woman had just said.
Jobs spoke again.
“Hey, SIRI. Tell me how to get to the White House.”
A map appeared on the screen, showing directions and how long it would take to get from your current location to the White House.
Everyone was surprised, but some people ignored it.
“There are already apps that provide this level of service.”
“That’s right. You’re serving on a PC, right?”
It was then that a bell suddenly rang on the podium. Someone had not set their cell phone to silent mode.
The person was flustered and tried to quickly turn off his phone, but he was flustered and had difficulty turning it off.
Then Jobs said,
“Hey. SIRI. What song is playing now?”
[LMFAO’s Party rock anthem.]
The entire audience was shocked by SIRI’s words. Dojun was the same.
‘What? You noticed this?’
There were quite a few programs that understood speech, but not music. They came later, but it wasn’t the technology of 2011.
‘Are you sure you removed CHAT-GPT?’
Dojun shook his head, even though he had thought about it for a moment. This was because he had personally confirmed that the source had been removed.
‘Besides, Jobs would never lie to me now. If he wrote the source code, he would say he did.’
Seeing Jobs confidently presenting the technology he had invited, it was clear that this was not CHAT-GPT, but a technology developed by AI researchers.
‘Then, isn’t that really amazing? It couldn’t have taken that long to make it to this level.’
Only then did Dojun realize why Jobs had invited him today.
‘That’s what I was trying to show you. The results that I and the Apple AI researchers created.’
At that time, people nearby were muttering.
“Wait a minute, if Jobs is healthy with this kind of technology, wouldn’t Apple’s stock price soar?”
“Crazy. I’m still running. Let’s buy it quickly.”
Dojun opened his mouth wide.
‘So this is the price of Jobs’ medicine!’
Apple’s stock price would have jumped significantly if Jobs had just shown that he was healthy. But when he also showed off a new technology called SIRI, the stock price couldn’t help but soar.
When Dojun looked at the Apple stock price, it had already risen more than 10% compared to yesterday.
‘I think it’ll be more than the amount I bought today?’
The amount Do-jun invested was 40 trillion. If it went up by just 10%, he would have made 4 trillion, and if it went up by 20%, he would have made 8 trillion.
‘Jobs, your method of calculating drug costs is really awesome.’
Do-jun thought that this level of innovation was enough for this presentation. But Jobs would not stop.
“I have a very special friend.”
Suddenly, Jobs said this and pointed at Do-jun with his hand. The light pointed at Do-jun, and Do-jun’s embarrassed face was shown on the screen.
“One day this guy came to me and said, ‘I wish the iPhone was bigger.’ What do you think I said?”
Some audience members laughed at Jobs’ remarks, knowing his philosophy on cell phones.
“As you expected, I got angry on the phone. I said I would never do that before I die. But this guy did it. So what do you think?”
As Jobs said that, he put his hand into his left pocket and took out another iPhone.
For a moment, people started to murmur. Some people even stood up in surprise.
Jobs took out two cell phones and showed them to the people.
“How about releasing one iPhone that fits in one hand, following my philosophy, and another iPhone for people who want a larger screen?”
People’s mouths dropped open. It was because Jobs, who never gave up on his stubbornness, had changed.
Jobs turned around, reached out toward the screen, and said:
“Presenting to you for the first time, the iPhone 4s and iPhone 4s pro.”
It was the same for Dojun too.
‘The history of iPhone has changed!’
* * *
Ma Huateng received treatment for a wound on his arm in the hospital emergency room.
“I’m really glad that this is the case. There will be a little scar, but after about a week, you should be able to go about your daily life without any major problems.”
Ma Huateng expressed his gratitude to the doctor’s words.
‘I almost got into trouble.’
As he was moving to the parking lot to park, a stranger ran into him. The stranger swung a knife at Ma Huateng, but the bodyguard stopped him.
Of course, the bodyguard was a little late and got hurt, but he prevented serious injuries.
At that moment, a middle-aged man came into the emergency room in a hurry. He asked the nurse something and then immediately walked over to where Ma Huateng was.
“Sir, are you okay?”
“Ah, Director Liao Weisheng! How did you get here?”
“I got a report from the secretary. No, this is… who the hell is this guy!”
Ma Huateng looked at Liao Weicheng and said with a smile.
“It’s okay. It’s nothing serious. The doctor said I’ll be fine in a week.”
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“How is this Director Liao Weisheng’s fault? By the way, how is your work life?”
“Okay. It’s all thanks to you, sir.”
Liao Weicheng was the person who took Ma Huateng’s place in prison when he was almost thrown in prison.
‘Was it because of Cross Warrior? Come to think of it, that also has something to do with Hwang Do-jun.’
After some time, Ma Huateng bribed high-ranking Communist Party officials to get Liao Yusheng out of prison.
Ma Huateng appointed Liao Weisheng as the representative of a subsidiary for a while, and after he had achieved good results, he appointed him as the director of Baeksent’s game division.
Zhang Linfeng’s vacancy was filled by Liao Weisheng.
‘If it’s Liao Weisheng, he won’t betray me. He’s the one who went to prison instead of me.’
“Sir, we will strengthen security even more than before. And just in case, please change the car to a bulletproof one.”
Ma Huateng accepted Liao Weisheng’s proposal.
“But did you catch the culprit?”
Liao Weisheng bowed his head deeply.
“I’m sorry. We are currently searching through CCTV footage with the police. The police have confirmed the identity of the person, so we will be able to find him soon.”
“All right.”
Ma Huateng thought as he left the hospital.
‘Who the hell is it? Who tried to kill me?’
Ma Huateng didn’t remember ever having incurred any great resentment in his life.
‘Of course, while doing business, there are people who hold grudges without me knowing it… ‘
When I think about business, one person suddenly comes to mind.
‘Hwang Do-jun, could it be him?’
Ma Huateng had once intended to kill Huang Dojun. It was because of the ‘Lucky Letter’.
‘You knew I was trying to kill him, and you were trying to kill me?’
The mystery was not solved. The only silver lining was that the ‘culprit’ was caught a few days later.
Ma Huateng went directly to the police station. Ma Huateng was connected to high-ranking members of the Communist Party. The police station treated Ma Huateng as if he were their superior.
The police took the criminal to the interrogation room. The criminal was unrecognizable. It seemed that he had been severely tortured.
“Who is the culprit?”
The public security chief responded to Ma Huateng’s words.
“I am a member of the black society organization.”
“The underworld? Didn’t it disappear from there?”
Black Society was an organized crime group active in China in the 1990s.
“It has not disappeared. Rather, it has split into smaller groups and is active in real estate and other interest groups.”
Ma Huateng tilted his head.
“I don’t understand. Why is the underworld targeting me?”
“That… I heard he received a request.”
Ma Huateng opened his eyes wide.
“A request? From whom?”
“That… he says he doesn’t know either.”
“Huh? You don’t know?”
“Yes. They contacted me via messenger voice call, not phone call, and they said they don’t know my phone number and that my messenger account has been deleted.”
“That’s thorough.”
“Yes. The opponent is expected to be a professional organization.”
“Then, there is no trace at all?”
After thinking about Ma Huateng’s words for a moment, the police officer answered.
“I don’t know if I should call this a trace, but the criminal said this. He said that he was having a voice conversation, and he could hear Chinese and English around him.”
Ma Huateng’s eyes sparkled as he left the police station.
‘You heard Chinese and English?’
There are many countries that use English, but there are not many countries where Chinese and English are used simultaneously without any problems.
‘America, Chinatown!’
The first person that came to mind was ‘Hwang Do-jun’. This was because Hwang Do-jun is very active in the United States.
‘But it’s strange. Hwang Do-jun went to Chinatown and requested a crime?’
For someone like Hwang Do-jun, there were countless ways to ask for favors. There was no reason to go to Chinatown.
‘If not Hwang Do-jun, then who? Who is after me…?’
At that moment, Ma Huateng stopped.
‘Jang Linfeng!’
Although he was reported to be dead, Ma Huateng thought he was not dead. However, since everyone thought he was dead, Ma Huateng had also forgotten about him.
‘That could be it!’
A few days passed. Ma Huateng became increasingly nervous.
‘Did Zhang Linfeng move alone?’
Ma Huateng recalled the story Zhang Linfeng had told him before.
‘He said he ran away to Korea. But one day, he got a lucky letter saying he could return to China. Could it be that the lucky letter went to him this time too?’
If this incident was commissioned by Zhang Linfeng and was related to the lucky letter, it might be difficult for him to avoid death.
Ma Huateng clenched his fist.
‘No! I can’t die like this!’
Ma Huateng thought about it and started writing a letter on A4 paper.
He finished writing the letter and left it with his lawyer.
“Please give this letter to one person if I die, or if I am missing for more than six months, or if something happens to me that is similar to being missing.”
The lawyer asked.
“Who should I tell this to?”
“This is Hwang Do-jun, the representative of Korea.”

[Steve Jobs appears at a product demonstration in good health.]
[Artificial Intelligence Personal Assistant SIRI. Its Amazing Abilities.]
[IT officials believe Apple’s AI technology is more than a generation ahead of other companies.]
[Consumers are crazy about the iPhone 4S Pro.]
[Apple stock rebounds 30% in two weeks.]
Dojun, who returned to Korea, read the article on his smartphone.
‘The stock price has risen by 30% even before the product is released.’
Even a 30% profit would have been a huge gain, but it didn’t end there.
Apple’s stock price continued to rise today. Experts said that before the end of the year, Apple’s stock price would rise by more than 50% from the time of the product announcement.
‘It’s good that the stock price is rising, but why are you all contacting me?’
Just yesterday, Jeff Bezos contacted me with a big smile.
‘What? You don’t need more investment money? Didn’t you say you’d give me as much money as I wanted?’
The problem was that Jeff wasn’t the only one like this. Bill Gates had asked him to do charity work with him, saying that in one month he had enough ‘money’ to spend on charity for the rest of his life.
Dojun said that he would do it when he was done with his busy schedule and hung up the phone.
‘But one person couldn’t do it.’
Dojun thought of Larry Page.
‘I should be upset because my competitor Apple is doing well, but instead my assets have increased. Larry called me every night because he couldn’t sleep for a while because of this nonsense.’
Although reactions varied, all investors were very satisfied with their investments.
Among them, there were some who did not end with just satisfaction.
‘Crown Prince Mansour said so.’
With this investment, Mansour is no longer just an Arab crown prince, but is now making a name for himself as an investment guru.
Previously, he was known as the owner of Manchester City or a wealthy oil tycoon, but now he has started to make a name for himself as an investment expert with incredible skills.
– This incident has led to an increase in the number of financial investment firms opening branches in the UAE.
– It’s all thanks to you. I’ve made a lot of investments so far, but the places that have given me the most profit have all been the ones you recommended.
– The best decision I ever made in my life was having you as my brother.
Mansour called Dojun and praised him until Dojun was embarrassed.
– By the way, I heard you borrowed a lot of money this time. I don’t have the ability to lend you the whole amount, but I’ll lend you about 3 trillion won without interest.
Dojun refused, but could not overcome Mansour’s decision.
‘Honestly, I was very worried, but I was relieved because of Crown Prince Mansour.’
Do-jun had already borrowed an astronomical amount of money this time. The interest alone was two hundred billion won per year.
‘Thanks to Crown Prince Mansour, I only have to repay about 120 billion won a year.’
One hundred and twenty billion is not a small amount of money, but since Apple’s stock price continues to rise, he planned to sell a portion of it when it rises to a certain level and pay off his debt.
‘Chief Kim Jae-hwan decided to take care of everything.’
Kim Jae-hwan, the head of the headquarters, was no longer the head of the headquarters, but the representative of VENUS GROUP. He had become the representative of a company operating 50 trillion won all at once, and was spending his days incredibly busy.
‘So, is it all over?’
It’s already October. There are only two months left in this year.
‘Now let’s just focus on developing the Gaemamusa.’
But then, I got a call from Minmay.
“Minmay!”
Dojun greeted Minmay with an excited voice. But then he heard some completely unexpected news from Minmay.
– Fighting. Ma Hwa-Teng… has become a vegetable.
