Episode 53. Introduction of Android as a replacement human resource in Seoul

The idea of ​​creating a political force was purely my own, but of course I had Sarah’s help in selecting the right candidates.

And the one person who was chosen was Choi Woo-seok.

There is no need to explain at length why he was chosen: it was for the use of mind readers.

The Social Advancement Youth Association, if you put it nicely, is a civic group. What I was envisioning was no different from a political police force.

So who would become this first political policeman was equally important.

It wasn’t a question of trust. It didn’t matter what he did in front of the transcendent being called Sarah. What mattered was how far he could go.

According to Sarah, if you give power to a guy named Choi Woo-seok, he’ll do anything.

When you see that mind readers can simply predict future behavior by analyzing human tendencies, it seems very different from the idea that mind readers can simply read thoughts.

They say that you can read souls and figure out the flow that divides timelines, but honestly, I don’t really understand what they’re talking about.

“Uh… So, Choi Woo-seok posted 6,759 comments?”

This is something I heard additionally earlier.

[Yes, I wrote a comment defending our PDC.]

If you get over 6,000 comments in a week, that’s almost a thousand a day.

Let’s say 16 hours, excluding the time spent sleeping. 960 minutes. Doesn’t that mean you wrote almost 1 comment per minute for 16 hours? Does that make sense?

This is the basis of hunger. Hunger of self-esteem.

Actions taken to create a sense of identity with a group or individual that is superior to oneself.

Still, he was a little different from others. There were quite a few people who left thousands of comments, but Choi Woo-seok was the only one who did something like that while maintaining some sanity.

No, isn’t the fact that there are thousands of comments evidence that something is a bit strange?

Well, anyway, since Sarah says so, I guess I’ll have to believe her. I guess that shows her passion for PDC.

[I think it should be seen as a passion for personal success rather than a passion for PDC. He always did this when applying to previous companies. It could be seen as a kind of talisman for him.]

No, it’s not even a PDC job application process, so was it really necessary? Yeah. I knew that.

“By the way, you said you made contact with the Afghan resistance?”

In the end, they ended up making contact first before reaching out to Israel. It must have been quite urgent.

[Yes, things are progressing as expected, and the resistance is currently planning an operation to capture Kabul.]

“Kabul falls?”

[The capital of Afghanistan. Their plans are more specific than you might think, and they are expected to pose a significant threat to the Taliban regime.]

“Oh, really? But does that mean anything? It doesn’t matter since we’re the PMCs involved anyway.”

Ultimately, our PMC will bring victory to the resistance.

[That is correct.]

“Then, if we introduce an android army as a pilot project in Afghanistan, it will have some publicity effects. The Taliban won’t be wiped out all at once.”

In the battles against the Taliban taking place in various places, androids introduced by the resistance forces will play an outstanding role.

And since we have been given the assurance that we can use the data for promotional purposes, there is no problem using it.

It’s a poor country with nothing to receive, but Android isn’t something that you have to spend money on anyway.

If we can spread the word about the benefits of Android Armies around the world and promote their adoption, the world’s attention will be focused on them.

If the world’s armies were replaced by androids, the world would no longer have to worry about war.

Right under my rule.

* * *

Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Seoul Mayor Han Sang-woo. The first four-term Seoul mayor in the constitutional history of the Republic of Korea.

He was a politician who pushed ahead with determination without being particularly flashy.

“Who should tell me what to do?”

He let out a complaint in a small voice. It was because he had recently received a request from President Kang Moo-jin. In other words, the target of the complaint was none other than President Kang.

Yes. He said nice things in front of people, but honestly, Mayor Han Sang-woo didn’t like President Kang very much.

Although speculations about their relationship have died down now, the rumors that arose during the presidential election were half true. Rumors that they were uncomfortable with each other were common.

It can’t be helped. I think all politicians would have similar thoughts.

A stone suddenly rolling in. A nobleman who had never done anything in politics just sat down on that spot.

But he is a politician. He didn’t show it on the outside, and since Kang Mu-jin was elected, he has followed a very clear path.

In any case, shouldn’t he succeed President Kang? Especially now that the ruling party’s return to power is almost certain.

Riding that momentum, he too put an end to his political career.

In that case… first of all, it would be right to cooperate with the current administration.

This time, the topic is about devising a way to help reduce the national budget through Android.

Of course, he did not directly mention, “Of course, you should introduce Android,” but rather suggested that we expand the existing alternative workforce in earnest.

This is a method of changing some alternative personnel recruitment methods to a corporate bidding system and granting bonus points according to certain conditions.

The specific condition is the provision for granting bonus points. Possession and use of related specialized equipment. The key is that the explicit expression of this specialized equipment makes it suitable for fitting Android.

In addition, since it is a replacement workforce, labor costs are the key to bidding. What else is bidding? Bidding is only possible when the scale is large, and bidding is not done for the recruitment of one or two people.

So if you put the rest of the Androids on one manager and put them out for bid, the other competitors won’t be able to compete.

A structure will be created in which PDCs will take over the positions that would normally be filled by human resources supply companies.

This time, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to conduct a pilot bidding process for replacement firefighter personnel.

Although they are called replacement personnel, they are a full-fledged Android replacement process, so they will continue to be deployed in the main tasks of firefighters.

Han Sang-woo leaned his tired body against the office chair.

He slowly gathered his thoughts and picked up one of the documents in front of him.

*Seoul Metropolitan City Pilot Project Operation and Evaluation Ordinance.

Businesses may need to go through revision procedures in some cases.

But, isn’t it true that revisions can’t be made in a day or two? This project regarding the management of replacement firefighter personnel was also scheduled to be conducted on a trial basis at Gangseo Fire Station.

Han Sang-woo put down the document and looked through other documents. There were quite a few documents that were labeled as reports on the evaluation and selection procedures for bidders.

“You’ve given a lot. Without even realizing it.”

However, contrary to complaints, it is not such a bad situation. The more these oblivious companies participate, the more they are acting as disguises, so there is nothing bad about it.

Han Sang-woo picked up one of the reports.

*Bidder Evaluation and Selection Procedure Report: PDC.

A report on the most important PDCs.

There are quite a few factors to consider, such as qualifications, career or reliability evaluation, and financial status, but PDC did not receive a high rating in this area, except for the financial aspect, if you really want to be specific. In the first place, PDC is not a human resources provider.

But fortunately, PDC is a large corporation that everyone recognizes. Even if there is no connection now, the credibility of a large corporation is something that will be created as soon as it is created.

Han Sang-woo, who had been calmly reading the report, put it down again. The information he wanted to know right now was not this kind of document information.

Han Sang-woo contacted the secretary’s office.

“Mr. Seungwon, did you get the report from the evaluation committee regarding the replacement firefighters this morning? Please bring it to me.”

-Yes, sir, I understand.

Not long after, Seungwon, a staff member from the secretary’s office, came up carrying documents.

Seungwon politely handed the documents to Han Sangwoo.

Ssuk.

“Ah, wait a minute.”

When Han Sang-woo received the documents, he greeted Seung-won politely and stopped him as he was about to leave.

Han Sang-woo set Seung-won down and began to briefly look over the report.

The PDC clearly had the upper hand in the evaluation. The judges were all external members who were free of any problems.

Of course it should be like that. It was made that way.

Han Sang-woo put down the documents he was looking at and looked at Seung-won. The reason he had called him over was none other than that.

This is because I am the person who directly saw Android at PDC this time.

To be honest, I wanted to see it myself, but I held back because I was afraid that it would seem like the mayor himself was interfering with the evaluation before the judging.

“It’s nothing else, but since you came to see Android, I wanted to ask about that.”

Han Sang-woo asked with a smiling face.

“Ah! Yes, sorry. I forgot for a moment.”

“With something like that. Say it quickly.”

“It was really amazing. The way it moved, the way it expressed itself, the way it looked, everything was so human-like that it was hard to believe it was a robot. The only thing that was different was that it was so handsome.”

Seungwon praised the android with such enthusiasm that his expression clearly showed his admiration.

“So there won’t be any problem working as a replacement worker?”

What was important to Seoul City now was whether androids had sufficient intelligence to perform the job as replacement workers.

Only then did Seungwon realize his duty and supplement his explanation.

“Ah, yes. First of all, in the case of the male android that was prepared, he showed physical abilities that were incomparable to those of a human. The conversation part is natural, and I heard that he received excellent evaluations in areas such as the logic ability test. Based on my own experience, I think there will be no problem at all.”

Han Sang-woo nodded.

“Huh~ I wonder. Android? The world really changes quickly.”

“I… have some footage I recorded. Would you like to see it?”

“Oh, okay. Let me take a look.”

Mayor Han Sang-woo is very interested not only in Android but also in the PDC, which is leading the reform and opening of North Korea.

Putting aside the question of how it became the linchpin of the North Korean economy, it was originally a South Korean company, and it was expected that the next administration would eventually cooperate with the North Korean economy through the PDC.

Foreign policy experts’ view was that this would happen unless there were major changes.

Han Sang-woo felt very comfortable these days. It felt like he was driving alone on an eight-lane highway without any obstacles. A road that someone had laid out. At the end of that road is the seat of the president.

When I was younger, I might have insisted on taking the difficult path, even if it was just a little bit, but I’m already too old for that. I’ve experienced enough failures and the path to success is so sweet.

While watching the Android video, he started to think about how he could build and continue his connection with the PDC.
