127. power of media
“ah!”
Hoyoung opened the door and looked at the man walking in like a zombie.
He had a look of despair as if he had lost the whole world.
Hoyoung recognized who he was at once.
One of the two reporters who came in during the press conference a few hours ago and the cause of this incident.
‘Eom Yong-jin.’
Hoyoung looked at him and laughed inwardly.
“all···. How are you here!”
Seeing Ho-young like that, Um Yong-jin cried out in a loud voice without realizing it.
“Who are you?”
But Hoyoung pretended not to know him.
Eom Yong-jin had a puzzled look on his face.
Thinking about it, it was because he realized that there was no reason for Hoyoung to know him.
“What are you doing!”
Then the news director’s roar erupted.
He couldn’t hold back his anger and screamed, but he soon looked back at Hoyoung and realized that he had made a mistake, so he bowed his head to Hoyeong.
“sorry. I have been rude.”
“no. I’m OK.”
“Could you please leave your seat for a moment?”
“As much as you like.”
“thank you.”
The director of press led Eom Yong-jin out of the office, leaving Ho-young, who was smiling with a gentle smile, behind.
Hoyoung smiled as he watched Eom Yongjin follow the news director with a puzzled look on his face.
‘Gate’s real-time search term is starting to see some effect.’
On all bulletin boards, a post with the contents of the threat from the reporter of the Koryo Ilbo was posted, and thanks to that, the search term that became the real-time No. 1 on the gate has already started to affect people.
Moreover, as more and more people use the Internet, its influence will grow.
And Hoyoung set a principle.
‘It is possible to induce real-time search word rankings to rise by posting posts on the bulletin board, but search word leaderboards must never be manipulated.’
Hoyoung thought this was the most important principle in real-time search terms.
It is because it is judged that if the trust of users is lost, that is the moment when real-time search words lose their influence.
after a while
The press director returned to the director’s office.
“Sorry for making you wait so long. I talked to that reporter a little while ago.”
“Who the hell is that reporter? Did you notice that you know me?”
“ah···. that is···.”
When the news chief made an expression that made it difficult to answer, Hoyeong said with a slight frown.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“ah! It’s not like that. in fact···.”
The news director told Ho-yeong all the facts.
The man from a while ago was Eom Yong-jin, and he was the one who caused this threat.
In fact, at the present time, reporters’ abuse of power was common.
It’s just that Hoyeong was the only one who risked it this far, and the advertiser at that.
“Chief. You should be sure to dispose of that person. By any chance, if Kim Mi-ae’s reputation is damaged, and that’s why she can’t work, Hermes will have a hard time even paying for advertising.”
An obvious lie no matter who hears it.
Hermes was earning cash enough to say that most large corporations would go away with the amount of money currently being earned from Hermes Telecom.
Hoyeong’s words earlier were that he would cut off the advertisement if he didn’t dispose of it properly.
“All right. We will definitely dispose of it.”
“I believe you will do well.”
Hoyoung smiled and replied.
Reporter Yang Da-moon’s mouth made me feel that he understood Ho-yeong’s inner meaning.
“All right. So, let’s just wake up today. For now, let’s proceed with the first advertisement as we said.”
“thank you. Take a look and go in.”
The press chief lowered his head and said.
Hoyeong also bowed her head and left the newspaper office.
“Chief. I have a favor to ask you.”
“Tell me.”
“There is something I want you to know.”
“What is?”
“This close.”
Hoyeong said something into Miru’s ear.
Hearing Hoyeong’s words, Miru looked a bit surprised at first, but then nodded.
“Director, are you going to work now?”
“Yes.”
“Then I will drive you to the company and go to find out. I don’t think it will take that long.”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. It’s not that urgent.”
“yes. All right.”
After answering, Miru pulled the car out of the parking lot, and Hoyoung got into the car and headed to work.
.
After taking Hoyeong to the office, Miru, who went to carry out Hoyeong’s instructions, returned after only about three hours had passed.
“Director. I understand what you said.”
“Already? Are you faster than I thought?”
“Fortunately, I once got the contact information of a lawyer who is reputed to be the most clean in Gangnam.”
“You seem capable.”
“yes. In the legal review, it is said that it is famous nationwide, not just in Gangnam.”
Hoyoung immediately thought of Smith.
H&H America’s sales and related issues are reported daily and weekly, but I thought it was a really long time since I personally contacted him.
“Anyway, here are the results I found out. Registering as a media company is not that difficult. If you want to proceed, you will be able to establish it in no time.”
What Hoyeong had instructed Miru a moment ago was to find out how to establish a media company.
Yesterday, I tried to find out through Gaia, but there is a considerable gap between the law of 2025 and the current law of 93, so I decided to find out for myself.
And, the media company Hoyoung wanted to establish was different from ordinary newspapers or broadcasting companies.
To establish an Internet media company, a media company that did not exist in the world at present.
That was Hoyoung’s purpose.
“However, it is the judicial scrivener’s opinion that there is room for conflict with the interpretation of the current law because it is the first Internet media company.”
“okay?”
But, as always, the law was an issue.
Even after making the stock HTS recently, I couldn’t start it right away because of the law, so I asked Jo Jung-sik to issue an enforcement decree.
It was clear that the enforcement decree would be enforced, but the reality was that it was impossible to specify when it would be.
“But the judicial scrivener gave a hopeful answer.”
“okay?”
“yes. Even now, there is a form of communication journalism.”
“These are media outlets in the form of publications using broadcasting and radio.”
“Exactly.”
However, unlike stocks, the media still existed in the form of ‘communication media’.
Miru took a deep breath and continued.
“And now our Hermes Telecom is…”
“It’s classified as a telecommunications company!”
Hoyeong, realizing something before Miru could say anything, spoke first.
Miru smiled and replied.
“That’s right.”
“Should I check the law on communication media?”
“I have already checked that too.”
“okay?”
“Communication journalism refers to media outlets that can publish publications or articles through telecommunication media.”
“Our internet is definitely communication.”
“That’s right. Therefore, it can be regarded as a telecommunications press.”
Hoyoung nodded her head.
Because things seemed to be easier than I thought.
“And setting up a media company isn’t too difficult.”
“okay?”
“yes. It is a form that only needs to be registered as a corporation, registered as a media company, and registered as a business. However, there is a restriction that more than three reporters and editors must be registered.”
“Three is not a lot. It won’t be difficult to find.”
“I think so too. In the case of corporate registration, it is said that all attorneys can act on your behalf. You have to write down your business purpose or your purpose as a journalist and submit it, but it’s not that difficult.”
Hoyeong clapped her hands and said.
“like. Then, could you take over this task from the manager?”
“I mean?”
“yes. I hope that the head of the department will take over the post and hire a good journalist after he has laid the foundation for it.”
“The media is a field I am completely unfamiliar with. Can we do it well?”
“sure. The initial work to be done is more administrative than media work. Manager, please take care of it meticulously.”
Miru hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a firm expression.
“All right. We will make it look stable as soon as possible.”
“I am sure you will do well.”
“And while you are doing this, you don’t have to stay with me all the time. Let them work freely.”
“Well···. Okay. Then, I will tell the security team about the director’s security work and driving duties when moving.”
“Then nothing could be better.”
Seeing Miru’s trustworthy face, Hoyeong smiled happily.
The power of the media is important.
The reason why Korea’s leading conglomerates spend astronomical amounts of money to advertise in newspapers is of course to have a publicity effect, but to make friends with the media.
The public opinion created by friendly articles published by the media companies with which they have accumulated friendships could have an effect that could not be achieved even if they paid billions of dollars.
And while newspapers and news are the main outlets for media now, Ho-young knew that the Internet media would soon dominate the media.
And he was now trying to preoccupy that market.
.
.
.
Around the time of the spring of 1993.
There have been great changes in Korea.
The beginning of the civil government.
After 30 years of military rule, a true democratic government began.
President Kim Il-sam, who took office at the end of February, disclosed the assets of all high-ranking officials, including himself, purged all corrupt officials, and disbanded the cancerous entity Hanahoe.
At the same time, the penetration rate of PCs and the Internet was skyrocketing without knowing the end.
The penetration rate, which had remained in the 10% range for a long time, exceeded 15% and was approaching 20%.
The speed is incomparably faster than that of PC communication, but it is a cheap unlimited rate plan of 30,000 won. And it was a phenomenon created by Hansung Computer’s entry-level computer, which was inexpensive at 500,000 won, but had good performance.
Everything was as Hoyoung intended.
And mobile phone users were also increasing at a terrifying rate.
Pantech’s first cell phone had already sold over 1 million units, and the second-generation phone was soon to be released as the development was completed.
But the best news of all was the fact that the president approved the enforcement decree as soon as he took office.
[Now, easy and fast stock investment at home! Reputation Securities. Launch of the world’s first Internet stock service]
Hoyeong smiled bitterly at the headlines of all the newspapers.
But he decided not to care.
It didn’t matter where HTS started in the first place.
Even after 5 years from now, it was obvious that people would completely forget who created HTS and started the service in the first place.
“Eros. Access the HTS system.”
“All right.”
A stock market graph appeared on a large monitor screen.
The current time is 8:58 AM.
Now comes the time when the stock market opens in two minutes.
And today was the first day that HTS will be serviced for the first time, in other words, the first day that Eros will be active in the stock market.
“It doesn’t matter if I lose all the balance I put in my account today. Feel free to experiment with this and that.”
“All right.”
The money Hoyeong put in his stock account was 1 billion.
It can be said that it is a huge amount of money, but Ho-yeong thought that this amount of money could be spent enough for Eros’ learning expenses.
It was 9 o’clock sharp.
“The stock market is open. Today, we plan to experiment with single hits.”
“great.”
Weiyiying-
The sound of the fan running filled the room as Eros ran the CPU to its maximum.
