The night Jo Jung-sik met Ho-young.
Jo Nam-shik waited for his older brother to contact him.
‘I don’t know what kind of conversation Yun Ho-yeong had with him, but it doesn’t change that he has been deceiving everyone until now.’
However, contrary to his thoughts, Jo Jung-sik did not contact him at all.
‘Yes, he must have a lot on his mind.’
Jo Nam-sik decided to wait a few days for his brother to sort out his thoughts.
However, Jo Jung-sik did not contact him the next day or the day after that.
‘Something’s wrong with this.’
Jo Nam-shik tried to come up with a plan for how he would give Ho-yeong a blow if Jo Jung-shik returned to his side.
But I couldn’t even think of anything because I couldn’t even contact him.
After several days.
Tired of waiting, Jo Nam-sik went to meet Jo Jung-sik himself.
But trouble awaited him.
The secretary’s office staff blocked the front door of the representative office and refused to let them in.
“sorry. Vice President. Right now, the representative is not in a situation to receive guests.”
“what? Are you doing this because you don’t know who I am?”
“sorry. There were instructions not to let anyone in.”
“Aren’t I nobody?”
“Even if the president comes, he told me to stay in front of the door until absolutely instructed…”
The secretary was embarrassed by Cho Nam-sik and lowered his head, but he didn’t even get out of the way.
Cho Nam-sik couldn’t enter the representative’s office until he pushed the secretary by force, so he had no choice but to turn around leaving only a message asking for contact.
‘Jo Jung-sik is stupid. You were lured away by Yun Ho-young that day.’
Jo Nam-sik knew one thing for sure.
Even though Jo Jung-sik knows the amazing fact that Yun Ho-young played with them until now, he will be with Yun Ho-young until the end.
Jo Nam-sik suddenly felt disgusted with his older brother.
His father always spoke of his pride and pride as the second generation of fame from an early age.
Of course, there were times when it was difficult because the method was so competitive and performance-oriented, but because of that, he was able to succeed so far and come to this position.
However, his older brother showed no pride or fighting spirit.
Tigers born and raised in zoos do not know how to hunt live prey.
They only covet the dead meat thrown by the zookeeper.
He thought Jo Jung-sik was exactly that shape.
An animal at the zoo who is loved by a zookeeper named Yun Ho-young.
‘In the end, I have no choice but to use that method.’
Jo Nam-shik thought there was only one way left to save his reputation from Yun Ho-yeong.
‘I didn’t want to be in debt to this person.’
He was prepared to do anything for the sake of fame, even if this method would lead to him becoming indebted to this man.
After a long thought, he made a call somewhere.
“ah! Minister. how are you? This is Jo Nam-sik. Yes. Thanks for your concern, I’ve been doing well. It’s nothing different, but I have something to tell you. ha ha ha. Yes, I will treat you to a very delicious place. Then we will contact you soon. thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Jo Nam-sik smiled bitterly.
Jo Nam-sik of the world said something regretful to others because of Yun Ho-young.
However, thinking that Yun Ho-young would definitely take a hit, he didn’t feel bad at all.
.
.
.
Several weeks have passed since Ho-young and Jo Jung-sik once again met at the Koryo Hotel.
At the Jo Jung-sik, the hotel asked Jo Nam-sik to have a room, and Jo Jung-sik nodded, but at first glance, nothing had changed from a few weeks ago.
But inside it was different.
‘You have to feed it with a heavy straight punch, not a thin jab.’
Ho-young insisted that the task of feeding Jo Nam-shik with one shot should be more meticulous and powerful, and Jo Jung-sik unconditionally agreed with Ho-young’s words.
Originally, he was very aware of Hoyoung’s ability, and when the background of Gaia Investment was added to it, Jo Jungsik was now nodding his head even if Hoyoung said that he would make fermented soybeans with red beans.
So Hoyeong and Jo Jungsik’s work was being done behind the scenes.
Today, at Hoyoung’s office, there was a face he hadn’t seen in a long time.
He was Dr. Ungwon Lee of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.
“Doctor. how are you?”
“I hope you are doing well. Until recently, I had quite a bit of trouble finishing my research at the research institute.”
As if his words were not false, Dr. Lee Woong-won looked really tired.
“I don’t think you’ve been sleeping well lately.”
“haha. you’re right. Yesterday, after all, I stayed up all night and came out.”
At Lee Woong-Won’s words without hesitation, Ho-Young burst into laughter.
“Thank you so much for making such a big decision. Doctor.”
“Thank you for inviting me. From now on, I will call you Chairman.”
“You can call me at your convenience. At H&H, I continue to serve as a board member, so you can call me board member as you normally would.”
Woongwon Lee shook his head.
“no. You have to be sure what to do. I will do my best to research in the future. President.”
Woongwon Lee lowered his head and said.
Hoyoung still hasn’t adapted to this situation.
But now, thanks to countless experiences, I was able to get used to it and not express my displeasure.
“yes. As in the case of CDMA, 3G communication is also the first to be commercialized in Korea.”
“Yep.”
To put it simply, Lee Woong-won was scouted by Ho-young.
CDMA was commercialized, and the public was already accustomed to the CDMA method.
Although Hermes Telecom dominates the market, Korea Telecom and Sankyung Group have also set up telecommunications companies and have been allocated frequencies to become latecomers.
In this situation, the Korean government was not active in developing 3G communication technology.
The current 2G technology has such a high level of perfection, and it seemed to think how much further it would develop if it were developed here.
Perhaps because of this, the budget allocated to Dr. Woong-Won Lee’s team by the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute gradually decreased, and in the end, Dr. Woong-Won Lee was fed up with the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.
At that time, Hoyoung made him a sweet offer.
Offer to scout not only Dr. Ungwon Lee, but all of his team.
So, he explained that he was planning to create a laboratory under Hermes Telecom.
Dr. Woong-Won Lee and his team initially did not immediately accept Ho-Young’s proposal.
Before submitting his resignation to the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, the doctor asked for the opinion of his superiors one last time.
It was also the place where he had been working all his life, and he thought that he could just do the research he wanted to do wherever he wanted to.
However, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute broke his wish.
It was because the department did not even receive a budget from the research institute, so it seemed to be secretly welcoming the resignation.
As a result, he was able to decide to leave without leaving any regrets behind.
“At Qualcomm in the US, 3G communication research is already in progress to some extent. Paul is coming over from the US next week. Please share the current development status while talking with him, and let’s complete 3G communication together.”
“All right. If that happens, I’ll be seeing Paul for the first time in a really long time.”
Dr. Woongwon Lee nodded.
Seeing this, Ho-young thought that there would be good results because Dr. Woong-Won Lee had the experience of developing CDMA in collaboration with Paul.
Irwin, who was the original owner of Qualcomm, officially took over the CEO position to Paul a while ago.
Until a few years ago, Paul was a great man who did not hesitate to do cowardly things for the benefit of the company, but he has grown up over the years and has recently shown himself as a wonderful researcher and manager.
And since the majority of Qualcomm’s shares belonged to Hoyoung anyway, if Paul showed the same appearance as before, Hoyoung would cut it off, so I was watching closely.
“I am already looking forward to next week. Then, Dr., get a good rest for a week and see you next week. From next week, it will probably be difficult to rest comfortably until 3G communication is developed.”
Hoyoung held out his hand to Dr. Lee Woong-won with a smile on his face.
However, Dr. Woong-Won Lee did not hold Ho-Young’s hand right away.
“Well…”
“Are you having any problems?”
“no. Rather than a problem…”
Dr. Lee Woong-won paused for a moment before continuing.
“Are all research facilities and equipment equipped?”
“Of course. The work started from the moment the doctor decided to come. You don’t have to worry about that, as we have completed all the facility construction in the largest research building in the Seongnam Research Complex.”
“Then can I go to work tomorrow?”
“yes?”
“It doesn’t matter, but what are you going to do alone? It’s not too late to adapt from next week.”
Dr. Woongwon Lee shook his head.
“I am not alone. Everyone on my team agrees with me.”
“her···?”
“It has been several months since we were neglected without research. If you’ve already taken a break, you’ve had enough.”
The doctor’s face was spleen.
Hoyoung looked at his face for a while, then nodded his head broadly.
“good. Instead, go to work the day after tomorrow.”
“Is there a reason the day after tomorrow?”
“yes. There are air conditioners and some appliances that haven’t been turned on yet. I’ll do everything I can to get them all in by tomorrow.”
“thank you.”
Hoyoung and Dr. Woongwon Lee shared a warm handshake and parted ways.
And Ho-young called Jo Jung-sik and asked him to put the home appliances in the research building by tomorrow.
Jo Jung-sik replied that he would do what Ho-young asked without showing any ill feelings.
– But there is one thing that worries me.
“What are you anxious about?”
– Namsik is plotting something. After digging into the secretarial staff, they say that they’ve been meeting a lot of people lately…
“People? Did you check who you met?”
– yes. Recently, it is said that he went to meet government officials. The highest person I met was the Minister of Strategy and Finance.
“Minister of Planning and Finance?”
Hoyoung had a question or two, but he said he would understand and hung up the phone.
And I thought with a snort.
‘Do you think putting pressure on the government side could choke me? The president would never know that he has a relationship with me…’
Of course, there were various ties before, but after Bill Gates’ visit to Korea, the president was more favorable to Ho-young.
It was the president who paid back Hoyoung’s help in small ways by subtly releasing restrictions on Hermes and H&H.
‘Then, how to deal a big blow to a company without hearing it in the ears of the president… that···.’
As Hoyeong was about to organize her thoughts, she heard Miru’s voice outside the door.
“President. Are you there?”
“yes. Come on in.”
Miru strode toward the office and opened her mouth.
“I have an urgent report to you.”
“What is it?”
“The IRS sent people. They said they would conduct a surprise tax investigation.”
“As expected, it was a tax investigation.”
“yes?”
“haha. no.”
tax investigation.
It matched Hoyoung’s expectations.
In the case of a surprise tax investigation, there is no need to submit a report to the president.
This is because it could be implemented immediately if the head of the National Tax Service raised his dignity and the Minister of Strategy and Finance granted permission.
And usually, when an intense tax investigation is conducted, most companies often stumble upon huge fines and fines.
Often, leaders are caught and taken in for illegal slush fund creation.
However, since the original purpose of the tax audit was for the public interest in preventing tax evasion, there is no way to reject it.
For an ordinary company, this could be news like lightning strikes, but…
Hoyoung and Miru’s expressions were calm.
“Did you give some tea to the people from the IRS?”
“yes. They have already taken you to the cafeteria.”
“okay. I’ll come down and see you later. We serve you well. If there are any documents you want to see, I will bring them to you. You’re just going to be wasting your time anyway.”
“Yep. President.”
Hoyoung was only confident.
