I had to have it all
With Earth Resources succeeding, I couldn’t ask for more as CEO.
I have greed, but it feels like reality goes further than that.
〈Shin Kim Creating Changes in Silicon Valley〉
〈Leading companies nervous about expanding Earth Resources’ cloud domain〉
＜Why Google is shaking＞
It was to the point that newspaper articles, not YouTube videos of Gukppong, came out with these titles.
Earth Resource’s management performance was achieving 50 or 60 if the target was set at 10.
〈Earth Channel, surpassed 400 million subscribers, which was considered impossible〉
〈Netflix subscribers continue to decline. Why Earth Channel?＞
〈Hollywood actors knocking on Earth Channel’s door for box office success〉
I knew that earth resources were developing outwardly. However, I confirmed how much influence it had by reading the article.
400 million paid subscribers.
It is said that the rate is cheaper than other companies, but it was an unprecedented number, and the number of subscribers in Asia and Europe steadily increased.
Oh Myung-woo said confidently.
“I think we can exceed 500 million in the first quarter.”
“It’s amazing.”
“yes. This is thanks to the hard work of the business units. The plan for your dormant account also has an impact.”
Users who use less than 3 hours per month are not charged.
It became a reason to join the Earth Channel without worrying about cancellation.
It’s probably thanks to the cheap rate plan and the contents that hit the jackpot.
“Earth Channel itself is completely reinvested, so profitability is low, but it is desirable in terms of increasing the share.”
“Because it is a platform business where market dominance comes first.”
“yes. Even if I contact game companies, the reactions are no joke. They know that contracting with the Earth Channel can be a big hit, and we don’t put any restrictions on development, so it’s comfortable.”
EA or Ubisoft with famous games.
MS and Sony, which make and sell consoles, had many subsidiaries.
If a game company’s competitiveness lies in exclusive works, what kind of developer would want an exclusive supply?
Myungwoo Oh had a philosophy.
“The trend in the game market is going to be cross-platform. PC, console or mobile phone. It will change so that you can enjoy it freely without restrictions from suppliers.”
The global gaming market has sales of $180 billion.
Mobile accounts for more than 60%, and recently, a system that runs together on a PC has been established.
“Seeing the sales of Earth Channel games go up, it’s thanks to you. Good luck in the future.”
“then. I have a friend who buys me a building, so I have to work hard.”
As for the game field, I decided to completely leave it to Myung-Woo Oh, who has been doing well so far.
Since the vice president works hard with conviction, how comfortable is it from the position of the CEO?
Eddie said softly.
“So I developed a cloud gaming system.”
“yes?”
“It’s a concept that hyung had in mind from the beginning.”
“… … .”
What do you mean?
Having been through Eddie for the past year, I have come to understand to some extent how to communicate with him.
When I was saying something I didn’t know, I just had to be still.
There’s no need to ruin Eddie’s positive image by talking about it.
“The first step was to create Source Coin. The second step that hyung planned was to enter the cloud market, right?”
“… … .”
Entering the cloud market was something I hadn’t even thought of at the time.
On the contrary, if you thought deeply, you might never have jumped in because your competitors were Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
I challenged with only one belief that I could operate a cloud system inexpensively based on Source Coin.
“The next step hyung thought of was the cloud game system.”
I?
I barely resisted the urge to ask questions.
“Um, um. Did you know too?”
“sure. I haven’t forgotten what my brother said about February last year. It would be difficult for low-end computers to enter the source coin channel. And those computers said we should rather support them.”
did you say that?
My memory wasn’t bad, but I went through a lot of things while doing business last year, and I met people.
‘I think he said something like that.’
Eddie said like a child seeking praise.
“So I made it. Cloud gaming system.”
“How is it?”
“It’s embarrassing to tell my brother who knows everything.”
“it’s okay. Talk.”
Low-end computers, cell phones, or other computing devices access Earth resources.
A system in which the execution and play of the game is performed on Earth Resource’s integrated server, and individuals can enjoy the game while watching the transmitted screen.
“In the Earth Channel, you can really enjoy the game freely regardless of the system specifications.”
“… … .”
Source Coin was developed to draw on the surplus resources of high-performance computers designed for personal use.
But this time, on the contrary, it supplies the performance of earth resources to those who need it.
When a blockbuster game with high system requirements was released, if 100 people switched computers or mobile phones, the waste was enormous.
It won’t be long before they actually enjoy the game.
Should I use the maximum performance for about a week per year?
If you expand the scope to the number of games released and users around the world, Earth Resources could satisfy everyone with less than 5% of hardware.
‘It’s a really good system for gamers.’
Gamers on Earth Channel will love it.
When the game you want is released, you can enjoy it to your heart’s content regardless of the specifications.
There must be many areas with a communication network that supports high-speed communication enough to watch movies or dramas in real time.
European and Asian countries also have significantly faster Internet speeds these days.
And an idea came to mind.
“Isn’t it applicable to all fields, not just games?”
“All areas?”
“yes. It’s something we can provide to anyone who needs a high-performance computer.”
“ah!”
Eddie made a surprised face at my words.
“I really do! I didn’t have to limit myself to games. After all, my brother is a genius.”
“… … .”
Eddy, who tried to apply such an amazing system only to games, was even more strange.
* * *
It seems that he has deepened his thoughts as an entrepreneur while running Earth Resources over the past year.
‘It’s a cloud game system.’
A new service created on a platform with 400 million subscribers.
I could only imagine how big of an impact it would have on the world.
‘Stock prices of CPU and graphic card manufacturers will plummet.’
Personal computers will not sell as much as they used to, or computers with very high specifications will decline in popularity.
‘Personal computers are too expensive now.’
Due to coin mining, the price of graphics cards was being traded high.
In order to fit a high-end computer, it cost 3 million won for the CPU and graphics card.
Of course, that kind of money doesn’t seem like a lot to me now, but when I think of the 300,000 won computer I used in the past… … .
‘It means that a 300,000 won computer can play games with higher specifications than a 3 million won computer.’
Anyone who has a low-end computer wants to try a high-performance computer at least once.
I asked Eddie.
“How many people know about cloud gaming services?”
“About 20 people working together on the development team?”
With about 20 people, security seemed to be well maintained for the time being.
Most of the people who worked with Eddy are founding members, and their mouths are heavy.
There was an opportunity to make money right in front of my eyes.
“When the service starts, I will give you plenty of source coins. Until then, let’s not inform the outside about this service.”
“Good.”
Ordinary companies distribute stocks or money as incentives.
Our company paid Source Coin.
Doing business in the United States and solving various donations through its own shopping mall.
The accumulated source coins were being used internally.

―Kim Shin: I wish I could quit Arkor because of my greed.
―Kim Shin: I want you to be together in America. Or how about going to Bio Life?
Jo Soo-ah was looking at her phone in a coffee shop.
Every time I read the text message Kim Shin sent, my heart felt nostalgic.
KakaoTalk!
KakaoTalk!
-Lee Jin-kyung: I’m sorry. A brother I know keeps asking me if he wants to meet you, but I can’t help but let him know.
―Lee Jin-kyung: You also went on a blind date with Won-seok oppa. I knew you liked it and did it.
A high school friend living in Busan.
When I was with Kim Shin, I kept asking where he was, but he told me the wrong place out of a strange feeling.
I found out that Choi Won-seok, who had a blind date belatedly, had come all the way to the United States.
‘He’s a friend I haven’t seen in a long time.’
Jo Soo-ah decided to block her friend’s contact information for the time being.
“Why are you looking like that?”
“Ah, Mr. I got an Americano here in advance.”
“thank you.”
An Myeong-guk sat down in front of Jo Soo-ah and took a sip of coffee.
“Was the K-vaccine right?”
“yes.”
“I, who works at a vaccine company, haven’t been hit yet. By the way, is the CEO doing well in America?”
“It’s strange when people call me Assistant Manager Kim and then say CEO.”
“Uh huh, didn’t I tell you properly? This is all social life.”
Ahn Myeong-guk smiled leisurely.
My head was complicated with thoughts about my wife’s trip to Hawaii, but I wanted to congratulate Jo Soo-ah on their love affair.
Because I was connected to someone I liked for a long time.
“But Sua’s expression isn’t that bright.”
“yes?”
“Is the representative treating you carelessly?”
“Not at all. Be very good.”
“But why? You make that face? Shouldn’t I be the happiest person in the world? Do you want to see it already when you get back from America?”
I tried to tease him like a man, but Jo Soo-ah’s expression was serious.
“They said they wanted me to quit Arkor.”
“Is it?”
Ahn Myeong-guk thought for a moment.
I knew that Jo Soo-ah worked hard at Arkor.
“Are you just telling me to quit the company?”
“He wants me to come to America, where my brother is, or go to Bio Life.”
“okay?”
From An Myeong-guk’s point of view, it was a problem that he didn’t even have to think about.
“Why not? If you come to Bio Life, your salary will rise significantly, and it is a company that does more socially than Arcor.”
Although Arcor is the number one company in ophthalmic surgery, the salaries for salespeople are not high for a pharmaceutical company.
The incentives given to the employees were also small, to the point of mocking themselves for being stingy.
Considering Biolife’s recent status in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, there was no reason to hesitate about changing jobs.
“I don’t want to burden my brother.”
“yes?”
“Someday, oppa, someone prettier may appear.”
A co-worker who worked together at Arcor.
I was attracted to her and accepted her heart, but Kim Shin said that he could have any number of girlfriends who are much more beautiful and younger than him.
“I shouldn’t be an obstacle in my brother’s life.”
“… … .”
An Myeong-guk was speechless for a moment.
My wife was contemplating whether or not to go to Hawaii.
If there was nothing else sad about it, of course it wasn’t.
After moving to Bio Life, his salary increased significantly.
It was thanks to the relationship with Kim Shin, but if you get a lot of annual salary, you have to pay that much again.
She had never appreciated the pay she worked so hard to bring home.
Take it for granted, and don’t say a word about your hard work.
However, Jo Soo-ah’s attitude was completely different from his wife’s.
‘Kim Shin… … , I had to have it all like that.’
