130. Linez, open!
“Why are you so surprised? Do you happen to know someone?”
Francis thought for a moment that he was a little dumbfounded by what he said.
It was because I suddenly thought that Hoyoung could not have known an American politician.
Even so, if it’s Hoyoung… I thought of it at the same time.
However, Hoyoung shook her head.
“haha. no way He is completely unknown.”
“I want you to be surprised.”
“Because it surprised me that the son of George HW Bush is also a politician.”
“It’s not that common to have a rich politician.”
Francis nodded as if he understood.
“Then I’ll have to meet him someday.”
“yes. In fact, the Governor really wants to meet Ho-Young.”
“Me?”
Francis bit a wacky smile.
“It seems that Del has talked a lot about Hoyoung. He said several times that this ADSL business is not only because of the good technology, but also because it is the business that Hoyeong is doing.”
“Gee, Dell is out to get me in trouble.”
“As far as I know, the president of Dell must have meant it.”
Francis’ expression became serious.
Hoyoung smiled at him.
“To do it. Dell can see some people. I knew right away that I was a great investor.”
Francis was a little startled, exclaiming ‘Oh!’
It was the first time I heard Hoyoung joke like this.
Hoyoung naturally continued saying that Francis’ reaction had nothing to do with it.
“So I want to meet the governor of Texas.”
“Shall we talk to Dell and set up a table for you?”
“Then thank you.”
Hoyoung answered cheerfully.
George Bush is the future president of the United States.
There was nothing wrong with making a kite.
“I have to come at least once to talk about business, so let’s make an appointment.”
“All right. Then, please contact us as soon as the future schedule is decided. I will make time to come back to the US as much as possible.”
“yes. Then we will go back today.”
“See you next time.”
Hoyoung saw off Francis on his way back to Del Korea.
The next time Francis gets in touch, I’m sure he’ll give you some good news.

a few days later
Hoyoung was facing a man at a Japanese restaurant in Gangnam.
“Brother. How much is this? Why are you so busy these days?”
“It wasn’t me who was busy, it was my older brother. How long has it been since you came to Korea?”
A man who greets you after a long time.
That person was Park Byung-jin.
“me? It’s the first time I’ve come since I finished the last job. Has it been three months?”
The last thing Park Byung-jin said was that he watered Jo Nam-sik with stocks from Anam Industries.
“So, did you successfully acquire Cho Nam-sik’s shares?”
“I heard that they are selling it again for half price? I thanked you and received it.”
Park Byung-jin grinned.
It reminded me of the perfect victory last time.
After founding Amkor Technology, Byung-Jin Park served as Amkor’s CEO.
In fact, the father of Park Byung-jin, the founder of Anam Industries, played a big role in the last case.
As the last thing before his retirement, he lavishly overthrew the former reputation and handed over the representative position to his son.
“Good for you. Then what did I ask for?”
Hoyoung asked with a calm look.
Park Byung-jin looked at Ho-yeong and said to himself, “I can’t help it,” and handed Ho-young a document.
“thank you. How reliable is this data in your opinion?”
“At least 70%. No, more than 80%.”
“okay? I will read it now.”
＜Current Trends and Analysis of Myungsung Semiconductor＞
It was the data Hoyoung asked Park Byungjin.
After the last A-Nam incident, Jo Nam-Sik started to hold his breath to the point where he didn’t even know he existed in the world.
Perhaps he thought that now was the time to humble himself and recover from his wounds.
So, Ho-yeong asked Park Byung-jin.
Since it is the same semiconductor industry, I wondered if it would be possible to find out the trend of Myungsung Semiconductor.
Fortunately, Park Byung-jin readily agreed, saying that it was not that difficult.
‘As expected, it almost matches my expectations.’
Park Byung-jin’s documents stated that Myeongseong Semiconductor was currently trying to secure cash.
But there was one peculiarity.
Hoyoung deliberately read aloud.
“But apart from the effort to secure cash, are you trying to borrow funds from the banking sector that could be solved within the group?”
“I don’t understand that either, but Myongsung Securities currently has enough funds to match that of most local banks. They even opened the HTS service a while ago… Oh. Do you know what HTS is? That’s at home…”
Hoyoung laughed at Park Byungjin from the bottom of his heart.
It was trying to crease in front of the chrysalis.
However, Ho-yeong cut off Park Byung-jin’s words because he had no reason to say that he made it himself.
“Is it Home Trading Service?”
“uh! right. Also you know So anyway, this isn’t important. Even though HTS should have increased the cash reserves, they didn’t draw funds from securities and life and snooped around the banknotes?”
Hoyoung knew what this meant.
‘Jo Jung-sik doesn’t cooperate.’
Securities and life were fields that Cho Jung-sik had been holding tight to from before.
Doesn’t this side invest in the only remaining semiconductor for Jo Nam-shik?
There was a remarkably high probability that Jo Jung-sik’s breath had worked.
“You worked really hard to find out.”
“What is suffering? I just made some phone calls to people in the industry and people I know at the bank.”
Park Byung-jin said it was not a big deal, but it was quite difficult to build a network with people in the industry and people who could obtain meaningful information in the banking sector.
If you are not a member of a conglomerate that everyone knows, or a person with a natural affinity like Park Byung-jin, it would be unthinkable.
“If it wasn’t for my older brother, I would never have gotten this much information. Thank you very much.”
“Haha what? Compared to how my younger brother helped me, this is really hemostasis.”
Park Byung-jin sincerely thanked Ho-young.
No, in this situation, is there anyone who would not thank Hoyoung?
Park Byung-jin was able to earn close to 100 billion won in a short period of time just because he followed Ho-yeong’s words.
Not only that, compared to when it was Anam Industries, Amkor Technology’s market capitalization has jumped by a whopping five times.
“Anyway, thank you. Today I will shoot hot. Eat whatever you want.”
“ha ha ha! The first time we met was at a shabby makguksu restaurant in Euljiro, but now it’s such a high-end Japanese restaurant, right?”
“To be honest, I was able to come to a store like this before. Didn’t my older brother say he wanted to go to Euljiro?”
“therefore. Honestly, isn’t it delicious there?”
“It tastes good.”
Park Byeong-jin smiled, as if he was happy to hear that Ho-young said it was delicious.
“That’s it.”
“okay. Are you ready to eat then?”
Hoyoung also smiled at him and called the waiter outside the sliding door.
“Is anyone out here?”
“yes. Here you are.”
At Hoyoung’s call, the waitress opened the door slightly and answered immediately.
“What is the best course here?”
“yes. Special courses are prepared.”
“What is the price?”
“It’s 500,000 won per person.”
“good. Please prepare with it.”
“yes. thank you.”
As the waiter was about to leave, Byungjin Park hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Here, please prepare a drink.”
“What kind of drink would you like? The finest rice wine that came in today…”
“Soju.”
“yes?”
“Just give me soju. Come as a dark guy with a toad on it.”
The waitress showed a moment of bewilderment, but she was a professional.
He quickly cleared his expression and stood up from his seat.
“Does your brother really like soju?”
“You drink to get drunk. I don’t think it needs to be expensive. That’s why soju and makgeolli are the best.”
“Ugh. I’m sorry.”
Hoyoung shook his head as if he was fed up.
Soon after, the dishes were served, and the two piled up the bottles, giving and receiving drinks.
It was the first time the two of them drank together since the last victory, so they talked happily and ate and drank happily.
‘I knew this for sure. For a while… No, for life! As long as you follow Hoyeong, you will never lose.’
Park Byung-jin was thinking this to himself, but Ho-young, who had no way of reading people’s minds, just happily shared a drink.
.
.
.
Another month and a half passed.
And finally, the service of ‘Linise’ started.
It was an open beta about two months after Kim Jin-taek showed the final version to Ho-young the other day.
The reason it took two months for the open beta was all because of Hoyoung.
‘We have to balance as much as we can and enter the beta.’
because of his strong argument.
Some employees asked if the open beta was just to balance that out, but Hoyoung was adamant.
Rather, the open beta was not to balance the game at that time, but to find bugs that might exist, and further whipped the development team.
And there was another field that Hoyoung paid great attention to.
It was the ‘server’.
‘The two small servers I’m using now will never run. It’s a large and generous server, so you’ll need to prepare five of them.’
This time, it was Gate’s game publishing department, not the game development team.
As Legend of the Wind is currently running on two servers, the publishing team prepared only two servers for Linenze.
However, Hoyoung strongly opposed that decision.
Even if people merge and reduce servers later, Hoyoung strongly insisted that they should go generously at first.
Thanks to that, Hoyoung received resentment from the staff for being too naive.
Even after completing the game, the development team worked more overtime than before due to balancing, and the publishing team worked countless hours at the last minute to increase the number of servers.
But right now, in just 5 minutes, they realized why Hoyoung had prepared so thoroughly.
“Boss! Server 1. It is a saturation situation.”
“Server 2 is also full!”
“It’s a big deal. Server 3 is coming soon… ah! Just saturated!”
Just 5 minutes after opening the game, all servers prepared by the publishing team were becoming saturated.
“Boss. Our website is completely dead. It is difficult to even download the client due to the overwhelming number of visitors!”
“Boss! Users are constantly trying to log in to the currently saturated server. At this rate, the server may explode.”
Jeong Hyo-seop, who is in charge of the gate, seemed to be losing his soul.
Hoyoung had warned me in advance that the first day would be busy, but I never imagined it would be to this extent.
If the server explodes soon, as the employee just said, there was no such thing as a major accident.
‘back up. Let’s do a backup first and attach the server.’
However, Jeong Hyo-seop was unable to touch the server.
He wasn’t even a server developer in the first place, and it was because he suddenly thought that a big deal would happen if he touched it wrong here.
‘As the president said, I should have prepared enough servers in the first place.’
But even if you already regret it, the past that has passed away will not come back.
Fortunately, he had a workstation ready to use as a server.
He was attaching the server using a stuttering programming language.
Then someone spoke to him.
“Boss. If you attach the protocol there now, the users who are currently well attached will be kicked out in large numbers.”
“President!”
Jung Hyo-seop was very happy with Ho-young.
It feels like meeting an oasis in the desert.
“I’ll do this for now, Manager Jung, please look out for any server that is currently running.”
“All right. President.”
Hoyoung thought it was a good idea to come down just in case.
He took off his jacket, threw it loosely on a chair, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and sat down in front of the keyboard.
Dada da-
Then I started working until I couldn’t see my fingers.
