The Magician’s Memorial - Chapter 172

Episode 172 social network (1)

Cheon Min-jeong had two S-level work abilities.

One was programming and the other was algorithms.

The algorithms I knew were only a way to solve problems.

Before the regression, algorithms were being used in various forms such as advertisements and music recommendations.

However, Cheon Min-jeong’s algorithmic abilities exceeded my expectations.

They immediately identified problems with messaging apps and social media created by hundreds of programmers and quickly came up with improvements.

If this is her ability.

Wouldn’t it also stand out in the field of artificial intelligence?

Therefore, I proposed to Cheon Min-jeong to participate in the development of artificial intelligence.

“Are you asking me to participate in the development of artificial intelligence? “Isn’t this a concept from science fiction movies?”

“Smartphones and laptops were initially concepts that only appeared in science fiction movies. And Professor Hinton, the top authority in this field, is also working on an artificial intelligence project.”

“Professor Hinton? “You are the one who proved the backpropagation algorithm!”

It was Cheon Min-jeong, who knew Professor Hinton very well.

I was even thrilled when I brought out a paper I didn’t know about that had cost a huge amount of money to hire Professor Hinton.

“You seem to know someone well.”

“When I was studying programming and algorithms, I looked up Professor Hinton’s books and papers at the library. “I even went so far as to obtain papers that were not available in the library through the dark web.”

Dark web?

Are you talking about the Internet that only criminals use?

This was a part where you could see how much effort Minjeong Cheon had put into finding Professor Hinton’s materials.

“I can give you the opportunity to participate as a team member in the project Professor Hinton is working on.”

“… … I really want to do this together. “To participate in the project, you have to go to the United States, right?”

“It looks like you’re still afraid of airplanes. I will tell you so that you can participate in the project in Korea. However, there will be restrictions in carrying out the project in Korea.”

“But I don’t want to leave Korea now.”

Is there some honey hidden in Korea?

Or are they really afraid of flying and don’t want to go to the United States?

It was Cheon Min-jeong, who resolutely showed her will to remain in Korea.

“First, start in Korea. And if you change your mind, let me know at any time. Do you have the business card I gave you earlier? “If you call the number on my business card, you can talk to me directly.”

“all right. “First, we will proceed with the project in Korea.”

It was Cheon Min-jeong, whom I loved as if I were a child.

In order to get her to participate in the artificial intelligence project as soon as possible, I went back to the vice president’s office and called David.

[boss! What’s going on? Is there anyone else you would like to recruit?]

“Rather, I would like to recommend an IT employee to Professor Hinton’s team.”

Many projects were in progress under the name of SAVE Investment Company.

Among them, in the case of Professor Hinton’s artificial intelligence project, David was in charge of external support.

[If it is the boss’s recommendation, Professor Hinton will also accept it. How could you refuse a request from a banker who provides huge research funds? But who is the boss recommending?]

“This is Cheon Min-jeong. “I have experience briefly helping the social media team that Mark is building.”

[Is that genius by any chance? Mark usually talks a lot, but this is the first time I’ve seen him praise someone like that. He went on for hours about how there was a genius in Korea.]

Of course, Mark, who created Facebook, was also a genius.

However, Cheon Min-jeong’s abilities were so outstanding that even Mark, a genius, called him a genius.

“Then I think Professor Hinton will be satisfied.”

[I can’t guarantee that. He is someone who has spent his entire life doing research, so he is not an easy talker. If you don’t like it at all, you can kick it out.]

“I can’t worry about that part.”

[ah! And the conversation with the UK Department of Employment and Labor went well. They said they would issue a work visa if I sent them letters of recommendation from EPL team owners and famous players and coaches. There was also a very small amount of lobbying.]

As expected, David did his work neatly.

It also meant that the liver had to be worked hard to produce such clean results.

“thank you for your effort. “Please stop drinking for the time being and take care of your health.”

[But these days, I go to work at a Korean-style sauna every day. There is no better place than a sauna to let off the alcohol.]

“If necessary, I will build a sauna next to SAVE Investment Company.”

[I’ll think about it later and tell you!]

After finishing the phone call with David, I sat down.

I tried to take a breather, but I wasn’t given that time.

Taewoo Electronics CEO Woo Seong-il entered the vice president’s office with a knock.

“What’s going on? “He suddenly came to me without any contact.”

“sorry. “CEO Jae-beom Lim, who is developing CocoaTalk, was so encouraging that I had no choice but to come visit him.”

“Is there something wrong with Cocoa Talk?”

“There are no problems right now, but in order to prepare for problems that may arise in the future, they say they want to formally hire the person they dispatched earlier.”

“Say no. “It has already been used in other projects.”

“I said no, but he came to my office and almost begged. “We concluded that he was an essential talent for the future of CocoaTalk.”

Even CEO Jae-beom Lim reacts like this?

It was CEO Lim Jae-beom who was worthy of being compared to Mark.

He was also a person belonging to the genius class, and he too was in desperate need of Cheon Min-jeong.

“Try to appease him by saying you will send other personnel.”

“I will. And I have another matter to report. Through World Cup marketing, Taewoo Electronics’ sales increased by more than 21% compared to the last quarter.”

“I truly enjoyed the special benefits of the World Cup.”

“The Korean home appliance market has been divided into three equal parts. First place was Samjin Electronics, and we finally surpassed CL Electronics to come in second place. “The gap from 1st to 3rd place is less than 5%, and the rankings vary depending on the type of home appliance.”

It is not the Three Kingdoms, but the home appliance market has established itself as a three-strong structure.

Taewoo Electronics was able to rise to its current position because it achieved enormous sales through iPhone and Apple-Taewoo TV.

“If you want to catch Samjin Electronics, you’ll have to work harder.”

“If we have just one more major event like the World Cup, we can turn things around!”

It was the voice of CEO Woo Seong-il, full of confidence.

If you look at the reality, it means that you cannot overcome Samjin Electronics on your own and that this is only possible with outside help.

“Then keep struggling. “I will believe it.”

“thank you! I will do my best!”

It was President Woo Seong-il, who went out with a greeting.

I was dissatisfied with his appearance, but since I had not yet found someone suitable to take charge of Taewoo Electronics, I had no choice but to let him sit as president.

“It would be nice to have someone like Cheon Min-jeong again.”

Of course, Cheon Min-jeong’s abilities had little to do with being a CEO.

What he was saying was that it would be nice to have someone like Cheon Min-jeong who possesses S-level abilities but management-related abilities.

Shall we take a look?

I looked at the personnel record cards of many employees of Taewo Group.

However, we did not look at everyone, and there may be people with S-level management skills working at our company.

Let’s check it whenever we have time.

The personnel record cards of all employees of Taewo Group were stored electronically.

As vice president, I was entitled to check personnel record cards without any restrictions.

Click! Click!

I repeatedly moved the mouse to flip through the personnel record card.

As Taewo Group ranked first in the business world, there were many talented people, but it was not easy to find someone with the skills to entrust Taewo Electronics.

***

I came back after finishing work.

After my grandfather went to Vietnam, the mansion was desolately quiet.

Click! When I turned on the light in the living room, I could only see the clock, and it was already well past 11 o’clock.

I roughly took off my clothes and headed to the bathroom.

The moment I looked in the mirror to wash my face, I was shocked as if I had just watched a horror movie.

Its eyes were bloodshot and redder than those of a rabbit.

It was a natural result, since I looked through the personnel record card without even taking my eyes off the monitor.

I sprinkled water on the mirror to make it foggy and quickly finished showering.

It was finally time to throw myself onto the bed, and I collapsed and became one with the bed.

Please don’t contact anyone.

I placed my phone right next to the bed and asked for it.

As always, it was a mobile phone that was busy.

“Who are you at this hour?”

Annoyed, I got up and checked my phone.

I thought for a moment about the caller ID I had never seen before, but I answered the phone with a voice full of annoyance just in case.

“who are you?”

[This is Cheon Min-jeong. Can I talk to you for a moment?]

“of course. “What’s going on?”

I quickly changed my tone and answered in a friendly voice.

If you’re talking to a genius that even geniuses recognize, what’s the importance of time?

[I had an idea while working on a project with Professor Hinton.]

“What were you thinking?”

[The current level of artificial intelligence cannot create a high-performance artificial intelligence that can communicate with people, but I think there are still many areas that can be utilized.]

“For example?”

[I heard that advertising is a way to make money through SNS. Then wouldn’t it be better to use artificial intelligence algorithms to recommend customized advertisements for users?]

I was speechless for a moment.

Before its regression, Facebook made huge profits through personalized advertising.

However, Cheon Min-jeong was talking about a technology that would only be possible in the future.

“That’s a very good idea. However, in order to provide customized advertising, it is necessary to collect and analyze customer data. “It would take a huge amount of manpower to do it yourself.”

[If the process is made into an algorithm, manpower is not consumed at all. Data is collected and analyzed through algorithms. And if we ensure that only advertisements that match the customer’s interests are exposed, both advertisers and customers can be satisfied.]

I got up from the bed and sat down at the desk.

Because it’s not polite to have this kind of conversation lying down.

“That’s a very good idea. But is it possible with today’s technology?”

[It is quite possible. And I think that using artificial intelligence algorithms in this way will be more helpful to the development of artificial intelligence.]

“Then try making it. “Do you have any other ideas?”

[I have an idea that is just a simple concept. Can I tell you about it?]

“of course. Even small ideas are okay.]

There was no reason to refuse when a genius came up with an idea.

It may be a small idea from her perspective, but it may be a groundbreaking idea from my perspective.

[This is an idea that has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. I think push notification performance needs to be strengthened to encourage SNS users to use SNS more often.]

“How can I strengthen it?”

[When someone leaves a comment, a push notification is sent in the form of a text message to encourage them to access SNS.]

“That’s a very good idea. “Can you make your idea concrete?”

[This is possible with simple programming.]

“Do you have any other ideas?”

Before I knew it, the fatigue had gone away.

It was Cheon Min-jeong’s idea that came pouring out countless times.

Most of these were technologies I had used before the regression, but some were not, and I fell in love with calls.
