KS Telecom executive level meeting.

As the occupancy rate was falling day by day, the atmosphere in the conference room was not good.

And Vice President Park Dong-hee, who had actively advocated for the acquisition of Sayworld, was raising his voice because the guy who farted was angry.

“Does it make sense that the number of users accessing Sayworld is decreasing? What do you do if you put in a lot of effort to bring a decent item? “This is how we manage it.”

“As competing SNSs are launched, market share is decreasing. “In particular, in the case of Facebook, Taewoong Communications is actively promoting it.”

“I looked at Facebook and it didn’t seem like anything special, but I don’t know why they’re losing users to that. Enter the discount event for background music and avatar related items. If we do that, won’t users come back?”

They didn’t know why Sayworld’s market share was falling.

The executives were simply nodding their heads to the words of Vice President Park Dong-hee, who had a loud voice.

“By the way, Vice President, what do you plan to do about CEO Seo Kwang-soo? “Sayworld’s market share is falling, so why give him a lot of money?”

“So we added a few clauses to the contract. “If we impose that clause, we will be able to reduce acquisition costs.”

CEO Seo Kwang-soo was the founder of Sayworld.

Now he couldn’t even access Sayworld, and the Sayworld he had created was being robbed by KS Telecom.

It was sad that Sayworld, which was like a child, was robbed, but the acquisition cost was also forced to be reduced.

“Will CEO Seo Kwang-soo stay still? “If you start a media war, it becomes noisy.”

“So what would he do? Would you at least file a complaint against your senior? The moment you file a complaint, you are immediately expelled from the alumni community. And you probably know that you can’t win if you sue a large corporation.”

“Then, in the case of CEO Seo Kwang-soo, we will proceed to reduce the acquisition cost as much as possible.”

“But since you are a senior and junior from the same school as me, don’t be too forceful and try to teach me well.”

CEO Seo Kwang-soo had already erased them from his mind.

A meeting was held again to increase Sayworld’s market share.

“How is it going with adding new features?”

“The technology development has been completed, but it cannot be released. “These were technologies that had already been registered as patents by Taewo Group.”

“Why not just make a detour!”

“It’s not easy. “If Taewu files a lawsuit, Sayworld could be shut down.”

“It’s such a terrible place. And what is it that our KS lacks that makes him chase Taewu every time? “Create a technology that Taew can’t even imagine!”

It was Vice President Park Dong-hee who was very angry.

He was getting angry because no one was saying what he liked.

One of the executives who read his thoughts spoke carefully.

“Won’t things change after this year? “There is a rumor going around in political circles that Taewoo Group did not distribute campaign funds anywhere in this presidential election.”

“They think they are great, so they do such arrogant things. “Once the presidential election is over, the political world will be very excited to bite Taewo.”

“If you use your political power well, you can send Taewo Telecommunications into the abyss. In particular, CocoaTalk or anything else must be completely eliminated.”

Other carriers were also preparing to sell smartphones.

However, if you use CocoaTalk to send and receive messages for free, the sales you earn from text messaging services will plummet.

“It is difficult to move now, and once the presidential election is over, we will have to join forces with other telecommunications companies and push hard.”

“I guess I’ll just have to hold on for a little while. “The expiration date of the Taewo Group, which has fallen into arrogance and conceit, is running out.”

“Tsk, tsk, someone who wants to run a business in Korea is trying to cut ties with the political world. “You will have to pay a very heavy price for your arrogance.”

For the first time since the meeting began, a warm atmosphere was created.

They were already holding a meeting expecting that Taewo Group would suffer political retaliation.

Eoeun Park located in Daejeon.

Perhaps because of the chilly weather, there were not many people taking a walk in the park.

Perhaps that’s why the sight of a person walking around the park with his head down was even more noticeable.

“You seem to be worried a lot.”

“who? Vice President Kim Min-jae?!”

The identity of the person with his head down was CEO Seo Gwang-soo.

I came down to Daejeon and walked around Eoeun Park to meet him.

“how is it? Society is crueler than you think, right? “It’s a place where alumni are used and thrown away for success.”

“I have nothing to say. Only now did I realize how good of a suggestion the vice president had given me. “I ended up like this because I only believed what the old man said.”

I heard what happened to CEO Seo Kwang-soo.

Sayworld was robbed and they didn’t even receive the promised money.

CEO Seo Kwang-soo had received decent money before his return, but in this life, he ended up in an even more miserable situation perhaps because of my intervention.

“So what do you plan to do now?”

“I do not know. “I thought about filing a lawsuit, but KS has already formed a team of lawyers who are treated with full honors, and when I try to launch a media war, the media companies are on the side of large corporations and do not even want to listen to me.”

CEO Seo Kwang-soo was overcome with a sense of defeat.

The man I met before was a man full of confidence that he could do anything.

The confidence that overflowed in the filth of society disappeared, and only dark emotions such as defeat and frustration were filled.

“You’re saying you want revenge, but there’s no way to do it.”

“I feel like selling my soul to the devil.”

“I can help, but it is a very difficult choice to make. will you do it?”

“I’ll do it! “If I can get revenge, I can do anything!”

“You are accepting the proposal without even listening to it properly. “Didn’t you learn the lesson that you need to check the contract carefully?”

“What more do I have? “Now there’s nothing to take away, so there’s no need to check the contract.”

It was CEO Seo Kwang-soo who was half crazy with anger.

Well, it wasn’t a bad situation.

There is no better stimulant than anger to bring out a person’s potential abilities.

“The method of revenge is surprisingly simple. You are throwing the Sayworld you created into the abyss. If that happens, won’t KS Telecom also suffer a big blow? “Can you put an end to the childish Sayworld with the hands of CEO Seo Kwang-soo?”

“The current Sayworld is not the Sayworld I created. It’s just a replica with a similar outer skin. So I really want to get rid of it with my own hands.”

Today’s Sayworld has been reduced to a tool to extract money from customers.

It was completely at odds with the ideal that CEO Seo Kwang-soo wanted to create.

“Then, would you like to take on the position of head of Facebook Korea?”

“I heard that Facebook is related to the Taewo Group, but it seems to be more deeply involved than I expected.”

“I can freely decide on the position of head of the Korean corporation. How would you accept the offer?”

“I will accept it. “I will use all my capabilities to ruin Sayworld no matter what!”

“Then come with me right now.”

We had to move before CEO Seo Kwang-soo’s anger cooled down.

We traveled from Daejeon to Seoul by car and arrived at the Facebook Korea subsidiary near Taewo IT.

“This is where CEO Seo Kwang-soo will work from now on. ah! From now on, I will call you Seo Kwang-soo, the CEO of the corporation.”

“The number of employees seems to be small.”

“Development work is being done in the United States, where the headquarters is located, and development work is also being done at Taewoo IT, so there was no need for many employees at the Korean subsidiary. But now we are planning to hire more employees.”

“Is it okay if I bring a few people?”

“It doesn’t matter how many people are recommended as long as it is recommended by the head of the corporation.”

“We will bring all the employees who participated in the development of Sayworld.”

I could trust any talent recommended by CEO Seo Kwang-soo.

Anyone who participated in the development of Sayworld was a talent we should have brought in.

“ah! Before that, I have a few ideas I want to show you. “These are ideas created by Taewoo IT staff and have even been patented.”

“all right.”

It was CEO Seo Kwang-soo who showed a lukewarm response.

But the moment he saw the idea, his eyes changed completely.

“These are ideas I’ve been thinking about all along. No, this idea goes one step further than I thought. We tried to apply it to Sayworld, but couldn’t make it due to limitations in technology development, but I never thought it would have already been completed… .”

“I have a lot of ideas that I haven’t shown you yet. Let’s take a look at everything and then talk about it.”

CEO Seo Kwang-soo continued to express exclamations.

Before the regression, the technology was applied to Sayworld.

There were ideas that I preempted and prevented from being used, and there were also new ideas that Minjeong Cheon and I created.

“Mini homepage is an idea that I really wanted to apply to Sayworld! “I thought it was an element that Koreans could not help but like.”

“You could apply it to the Korean version of Facebook.”

Each country had different preferences.

Facebook boasted simple design and performance, but it needed cute elements like a mini homepage to quickly dominate the Korean market.

Of course, I had no intention of applying it to the existing Facebook.

The plan was to create a separate Korean-style Facebook and run it on two tracks, which was one of the ways to quickly bring Sayworld out of business.

“I am confident that by applying just a few ideas, including a mini homepage, we can halve Sayworld’s market share within this year!”

“Then we should start working as soon as possible. “We will match employees’ salaries to the highest level in the industry, so bring your employees with peace of mind.”

“I will contact you right away.”

“ah! And don’t worry, we will prevent any legal problems at the Taewoo Group level.”

“thank you!”

It was Seo Kwang-soo, the head of the corporation, who picked up his cell phone and started making calls.

His eyes were filled with madness, and he was burning with the will to destroy the robbed Sayworld with his own hands.

***

When Vice Chairman Kim Min-jae was talking with CEO Seo Kwang-soo in Daejeon.

Cheon Min-jeong was having a conversation with a very unexpected person at a Korean restaurant located in Cheongdam-dong.

“Go ahead and eat it. Hehehe, is it really that I can’t eat because I’m uncomfortable?”

“Oh, no! It is absolutely not because the Chairman is uncomfortable. “I’ve never eaten food like this before, so I’m not sure how to eat it.”

The person she was meeting was Chairman Kim Tae-joong.

Chairman Kim Tae-joong, who returned to Korea from Vietnam in complete secrecy, had lunch with Cheon Min-jeong.

“Hehe, how can the way of eating food like this be any different? “Just eat it your way.”

“Chairman, if you created this situation because of an article about your dating rumor with Vice President Kim Min-jae, I would like to tell you that it is all a misunderstanding. There is absolutely no relationship whatsoever. “If I’m uncomfortable being next to Vice President Kim Min-jae, I won’t even hold an idea meeting outside!”

Cheon Min-jeong’s voice trembled.

She was working at a proper job for the first time in her life.

I was feeling happy because my quality of life had changed with a stable job and high salary.

Cheon Min-jeong was afraid of being robbed of the happiness she felt for the first time.
