Episode 196. Company welfare system (5)

The next evening.

Today again, I went to the hotel conference room to discuss ideas with Cheon Min-jeong.

As soon as she entered the conference room, Cheon Min-jeong bowed her head with tears in her eyes.

“Vice President, thank you so much.”

“It is something that must be done for employee welfare. And Minjeong Cheon is also a key talent of our Taewo Group.”

“I will repay this favor for the rest of my life!”

As expected, it was a spare business.

I can’t believe I can work with an S-class talent for the rest of my life in exchange for doing a little troublesome work.

“And whenever this happens, tell me. Taewo Group will do everything it can to help you. ah! And Minwoo Cheon will be selected as a Taewoo Group scholarship student starting next month. “Not only will you receive tuition support, but you will also be able to take 1:1 lectures from famous instructors.”

“From now on, I will risk my life to do whatever the Vice President asks me to do! And there is progress in the development of artificial intelligence.”

Is there already progress in the development of artificial intelligence?

As expected, he was such an outstanding talent that I visited his high school.

“I’d like to hear what your results are.”

“Together with Professor Hinton’s team, we succeeded in developing deep learning technology using artificial neural network techniques. Rather than calling it a technological development, it can be seen as establishing a previously existing concept. To give a mathematical explanation, find the error value through calculus… … .”

The mathematical explanation did not reach my ears.

However, the two key keywords I wanted came out of Cheon Min-jeong’s mouth.

Artificial neural networks and deep learning.

How would I know more about technology if I did a regression?

It was enough to just remember the key keywords and develop the technology related to them.

“Can I use deep learning technology right now?”

“It is still in the early stages of development, so it cannot be used right away. However, once data is accumulated, it can be fully used. However, we are still researching where it will be used.”

“There are plenty of places to use it. “It can be used in facial recognition, the gaming industry, translation, factory automation, self-driving cars, and the medical industry.”

“The team is still not convinced, but the vice president is more convinced of the potential of deep learning than we are.”

Because I saw it myself.

I saw with my own eyes how much AI is advancing through deep learning technology.

Of course, it was of limited use even before the regression, but because we succeeded in developing the technology in a quick period of time, we were able to apply the technology even earlier.

“Artificial intelligence technology using deep learning technology is a technology that can be called the 4th industrial revolution. So please put a little more effort into developing technology.”

“First of all, we need to increase the efficiency of deep learning technology by creating various algorithms. So, I don’t think I’ll be able to discuss ideas with the Vice President for the time being.”

“I can’t steal your precious time. “We will hold an idea meeting whenever Cheon Min-jeong wants.”

“… … .”

It was a silent Cheon Min-jeong.

He also made an expression of regret.

But what does it matter?

It is said that artificial intelligence technology can be developed several steps further through deep learning techniques.

“First, start with facial recognition. Also, try studying baduk and chess through deep learning.”

“Go? “If we develop artificial intelligence that plays baduk, will there be any use for it?”

“If you make something, you will have a place to use it.”

It was necessary to promote artificial intelligence technology.

Before the regression, Google promoted artificial intelligence in this way, and in this life, Taewo Group was planning to use that method.

***

I couldn’t sleep at night because of the good news that the concept of deep learning techniques had been established.

As I was thinking about what areas I would apply artificial intelligence to in the future to take the lead, it was already morning, and only those thoughts filled my mind while I was on my way to the office.

However, when I arrived at the vice president’s office, I could no longer think about artificial intelligence.

This was because the head of the planning office came and gave a very heavy report.

“We recruited 20 renowned talents. “We recruited people from a wide variety of fields, including independent politicians, university professors, police officers, prosecutors, and doctors.”

“Was the recruitment process difficult?”

“Most people received recruitment offers from major political parties. “The image of the two major political parties was not very good due to the illegal campaign finance scandal, so recruiting offers were not very difficult.”

“We must make sure that people do not know that Taewoo Group supports them.”

“Information related to Taewoo Group was completely hidden.”

A lot of effort was made to hide the connection with the Taewo Group.

They were recruited using one of SAVE Investment Company’s paper companies, and Captain Kang’s employees were used during the recruitment process.

“But the numbers are too small. “I would like to have at least 50 people, but I’m not even halfway there.”

“There weren’t many people interested in politics. “Most of the people on the recruitment list hated politics itself.”

Hatred of politics did not just happen in a day or two.

Since I was already successful in one field, I didn’t want to immerse myself in the shit called politics.

And they could have been wary because they didn’t know who we were.

But you can’t just give up.

“Please show me the list you used.”

“A total of 100 people were selected. Among them, those who were successful in recruiting are marked in blue, the first-place recruits are marked in orange, and the second-ranked people are marked in yellow.”

Fortunately, a photo was attached to the list prepared by the planning director.

Step by step, I checked detailed information on 100 people’s faces.

During the personnel season, we checked the detailed information of at least tens of thousands of people, so checking the list of 100 people was not a task.

“Hmm, I guess we should recruit the person who will be the focal point first.”

“In order to do that, you need a level of recognition to create a syndrome, but there is no one on the list with that level of recognition. “He may have a high reputation in his field, but it is not enough to attract public attention.”

“All you have to do is create awareness. Representative Choi Jae-seok looks good. “He is an independent politician, but he has a strong local base and is a politician with strong convictions who has never been involved in corruption.”

I have checked the personal information of many politicians so far.

Most of them were involved in corruption, big or small, but Representative Choi Jae-seok was not involved in any corruption.

However, I was never a person with small dreams.

As a politician, he was looking at the highest point, and he was also feeling skeptical about his current life.

“He may be popular in his district, but he is by no means a national politician.”

“Then why not just make it nationwide? “If we recruit Congressman Choi Jae-seok first and make him a national representative, we can easily recruit the rest of the talent.”

“That said, raising a politician’s profile is never easy. “There are some cases where we gain instant national recognition through hearings, but such opportunities do not come easily.”

The current president also raised his profile as a hearing star.

However, hearings were not the only way to raise a politician’s profile.

Rather, in times like now, the regular method could have been more effective.

“Rep. Choi Jae-seok’s constituency is the Busan area, right?”

“Gijang, which was incorporated into Busan 10 years ago, is his constituency.”

“It just worked out well. “We can move the data center to Gijang-gun.”

“Are you saying that you are giving credit to Representative Choi Jae-seok?”

“When all politicians are fighting dogs, wouldn’t it seem special if there was a politician who spoke about local economic development and welfare? And if he even achieves great results.”

If Taewo Group moved, it could achieve many results.

Starting with data centers, redevelopment, factory construction, etc.

Taewoo Group had the capacity to simultaneously proceed with projects that could receive lifelong support from local residents if the bid was successful.

“It’s a good method, but in order to recruit Representative Choi Jae-seok, we inevitably have to reveal the identity of Taewo Group.”

“Let me meet him in person. “Please make an appointment privately.”

“Do you plan to step forward yourself, Vice President? It’s too dangerous. “I would rather step forward.”

“no. If I want to recruit someone like Representative Choi Jae-seok, I have to take the initiative myself. “Only then will they recognize our sincerity.”

“… All right.”

The planning director left with a sullen expression.

Not long after, the head of the planning office came into the vice president’s office again.

He didn’t come alone, but brought his grandfather with him.

“I heard from the planning director. Are you trying to create a political organization that suits your taste?”

“It is difficult to lead the global market if we are being dragged around by the two major parties like we are now. We need a negotiating body that will protect us from the big two parties. I have no intention of using them to gain any other advantage. So I can assure you that there will be no problems.”

I glanced at the planning director and said.

Actually, it wasn’t his fault.

My grandfather was still the chairman of Taewoo Group, and it was natural for all the company’s information to flow to him.

But I never thought they would do something so quick.

From the planning director’s perspective, he probably did it because he was worried about me, but he felt a little bad.

“It’s not a bad idea. It seems like a necessary organization for the development of Korean politics. “We need a political group that works for the development of the Korean economy, not for the interests of any company.”

“Thank you for your agreement.”

“but! It’s the opposite of you coming forward. Would you, who will lead the Taewo Group in the future, write about it only if there were rumors that you were having an affair with a politician? So, let me meet a person named Representative Choi Jae-seok.”

Actually, it was something I wanted to ask for.

It is said that his popularity increased significantly after the joint speech with Steve, but compared to his grandfather’s popularity, it was nothing more than new blood.

“Because of the illegal campaign finance scandal, whenever politicians and businessmen meet, they are featured on the front page of the newspaper. Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“Are you afraid of maggots so you can’t make soy sauce? And what’s the problem with being featured in the headlines? Who will say that we are meeting for regional development? And if something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be better for me to go to jail?”

The grandfather’s heart was conveyed.

A desire to go through difficult times on behalf of my grandson.

But one day, I had no choice but to go down that path.

Of course, I had no intention of rejecting my grandfather’s warm heart just now.

“I will make sure that neither my grandfather nor I end up in jail or under investigation by the prosecution.”

“I don’t really care if I go to jail because I don’t have much time left to live, but you can’t go to jail when you haven’t even given birth to a second child.”

“… … “I will try my best.”

“You’re really trying, right? It doesn’t matter if I don’t come from a legal family or a large corporation. “If it’s someone you like, I agree with it.”

For my grandfather to come out this way, I had to get married quickly.

But is marriage something I can do as I want?

“I’ll keep that in mind. “And I will prepare a report to convey to Representative Choi Jae-seok.”

“I know roughly. They said they would build a data center in Rep. Choi Jae-seok’s district? And I’ll boost some businesses. “I will take care of the rest, so don’t worry.”

My grandfather was better than anyone else in these matters.

The moment the grandfather stepped forward, the recruitment of Representative Choi Jae-seok was already a success.
