Episode 207 Continued Election (1)

I watched the National Economy Party’s events from the vice president’s office.

It was an event held in the form of a conversation with politicians including Representative Choi Jae-seok.

Because we had prepared a perfect script in advance, it was a conversation that flowed naturally and professionally.

“The event is going well.”

“It is said that for today’s event, several politicians with limited English skills memorized the English script for several days.”

“Isn’t the election campaign ultimately a show? “To properly run a show, memorizing the script is essential.”

I think the election was a show.

The success of a show is determined by how much it excites the public.

And another condition for box office success was actors.

It wasn’t for nothing that Hollywood spent an astronomical amount of money to cast famous actors.

“Many media outlets are already publishing articles related to the National Economy Party event. And it is said that many people are gathering around the event venue. In particular, it is said that many people gathered to see Steve from Apple.”

“Pay close attention to safety. “If an accident occurs, attention may be focused on that rather than the event.”

“We have approximately doubled the number of security personnel.”

It was of course expected that people would flock there.

I also dispatched a large number of Captain Kang’s employees to the event site.

We are very precious guests from the United States, and we cannot allow something untoward to happen.

“By the way, Vice President. I still can’t believe it. “How could such a big name be brought to Korea?”

“It’s thanks to the good friendships I’ve built on a regular basis.”

I was the majority shareholder of the company that attended this event.

Even so, it was not easy to bring them to Korea.

It was especially difficult to get people to attend political events.

I also didn’t want to ask them for this kind of request.

I closed my eyes and made a difficult request for the future of Taewoo Group.

Fortunately, everyone willingly accepted my request.

“Vice Chairman, there is breaking news. “This is what came out during the question and answer session with the reporter.”

“I guess we’re already past the question and answer period.”

——–

[US IT company CEOs, why did they choose the National Economic Party?]

CEOs of American IT companies said they requested a meeting with all political parties in Korea, but only the National Economy Party responded. Their argument is that “while other political parties focus on political issues such as impeachment, the National Economy Party prioritizes economic development and forward-looking IT technology.”

——-

While boosting the National Economy Party.

It was an article criticizing a major political party.

“Vice Chairman, it seems like the truth of the article is already in question.”

“You don’t need to worry. “Everything in the article is true.”

“Did IT CEOs really request a meeting with all political parties? So why didn’t they send a response? “There is absolutely no reason to turn down such a big event during election season, is there?”

“He probably thought someone had sent the email as a joke. “I was playing around a bit.”

I left a cute prank in my email.

Who would have thought that CEOs of mega-corporations used emojis to send emails?

Moreover, since it looked similar to a spam email, I probably deleted it before even opening it.

“Then the big political parties will really have nothing to say. “It has become a political party that has rejected requests for dialogue from American IT companies.”

“They also aim for that. “How come there are no articles about Representative Choi Jae-seok?”

“There is an article about a data center being brought to the district. CEOs of IT companies have emphasized the need for data centers, and Congressman Choi Jae-seok has already attracted data centers.”

“If you compile it well, it will produce a very good article.”

The media was not just a place to create issues.

Rather, when a major issue breaks out, it is the media that is scrambling to get as much as possible.

“We will carefully edit the video from the event site and distribute it to each media outlet.”

“Please edit and send it in various ways so that media outlets can report on this issue before the election is over.”

“Experts are on hand to edit it.”

Choi Jae-seok and the National Economy Party captured the hearts of CEOs of mega IT companies.

With news of this magnitude, wouldn’t it be able to capture the hearts of middle-aged and older people?

“I will leave work early today. “I can’t send my friends who came a long way back like this, right?”

“Have a good time!”

Now it was time to catch up.

Since we invited heavy-set noblemen to Korea, we can’t treat them badly.

I needed to make them feel that coming to Korea was not in vain, so I took the notes I had written during the idea meeting with Cheon Min-jeong and got up.

***

He was held for a whopping 24 hours.

The three CEOs, including Steve, talked about the future of IT for 24 hours.

In particular, he showed great interest in Cheon Min-jeong’s idea, and his mouth almost dried up as he gave additional explanations.

I also had to talk about the business that was linked to each company.

Artificial intelligence, automated machines and robots, and even iPhone accessories.

Fortunately, they were so busy that I had to go back to the US today, so I was able to say goodbye to them after 24 hours.

“Chief, what is the media’s reaction? “I didn’t have time to watch the news, so I couldn’t check what was going on.”

“All media outlets featured the stories of IT company CEOs and the National Economy Party. In particular, it was covered for over 10 minutes on the 9 o’clock news. And it made the front page of today’s morning newspaper.”

The planning director showed us the morning newspapers by type.

Photos of IT company CEOs and Rep. Choi Jae-seok holding hands filled the front page of the morning newspaper.

“Rep. Choi Jae-seok’s awareness is likely to be rising significantly.”

“According to a secretly conducted opinion poll, he has been named as the next presidential candidate for the first time. “It’s not yet enough to challenge for the presidency, but it’s enough to hold the center of the National Economy Party.”

“Now we’ve done everything we can.”

“It cannot be compared to the concrete support base that large political parties have, but since they have carried out various campaign campaigns that even large political parties cannot do, I think from now on it will depend on the individual candidate’s ability.”

6 days until the general election.

We have now entered the so-called dark period in which public opinion polls cannot be announced.

All that remains is for the candidate to work hard and get at least one more vote.

***

There are three days left until the general election.

President Lisa suddenly came to the vice president’s office.

“I have something to discuss about the future of Taewoo Electronics and Taewoo Semiconductor.”

“I’m ready to listen to whatever President Lisa says at any time. “Please speak comfortably.”

He offered her a seat and sat down on the sofa.

She took out the materials she had prepared and continued speaking quickly.

“I had many conversations with Vice President Wei of Taewoo Semiconductor, and after visiting Taewoo Semiconductor several times, it seemed like the company was focused on the foundry business.”

“It is a policy to ensure that customers can trust us. “Wouldn’t more companies choose Taewo Semiconductor if we didn’t compete with our customers?”

“I agree with that. Even in the case of IBM, they did not want to do business with companies that compete with their clients. However, we should never give up on semiconductor design technology.”

He was the president of Lisa, who possessed outstanding semiconductor design capabilities.

Because she was like that, she probably didn’t like Taewo Semiconductor, which was focusing on its foundry business.

“You are saying that we must also design system semiconductors.”

“It is said that the memory semiconductor market is large now, but it is clear that the era of system semiconductors will come in the future. I think the vice president is well aware of that fact. “He is one of the people who pioneered the smartphone era.”

The system semiconductor had a fairly complex structure.

It was a semiconductor that could perform information processing roles such as data calculation and control.

Only by investing a huge amount of R&D funds was it possible to train excellent design personnel and develop technology.

“I know that well. “In the future, the system semiconductor market will overtake the memory semiconductor market.”

“If it is difficult to do it at Taewoo Semiconductor’s level, I would like to recommend creating a Pepsi company.”

I laughed a little.

Why don’t I understand the value of Pepsi, a company that focuses on semiconductor design?

And I was already the majority shareholder of the world’s No. 1 company in Pepsi.

Qualcomm.

The world’s No. 1 pelis company and a company in which I own 50% of the shares.

During the IT bubble, he bought a lot of cheap Qualcomm stocks and still owns them.

But I couldn’t say this.

Because there was nothing good about saying that Taew Group Vice Chairman was the actual owner of Qualcomm.

“President Lisa, please create a Pelis company. We will provide unlimited funding. “We can provide more funds than the funds invested in affiliates.”

“… … “I didn’t know it would be this easy to decide.”

“It’s not that I wasn’t interested in Pepsi. I just couldn’t take on the challenge because there wasn’t the right person. But now that we have the right person, we are eager to invest.”

“I feel like an idiot for researching data all night long.”

Although it owns Qualcomm.

However, there was no need to stop the creation of a new Pepsi company.

The semiconductor design market will continue to grow in the future, so there is absolutely no harm in creating several Pepless companies.

“Semiconductor design technology is also needed to apply it to Taewoo Electronics’ home appliances.”

“The data I researched was like that. “I tried to say that semiconductor design technology is absolutely necessary to improve the functionality of Taewoo Electronics’ new products in the future.”

“Currently, we are developing products in collaboration with Qualcomm. “It would be great if Pelis, a company under Taewo Semiconductor, could take on that role.”

Although I am the actual owner of Qualcomm.

A competing company was needed to come up with a better design.

Wouldn’t it be better to compete with my own company?

Because whoever wins, I will benefit.

“But can I take Cheon Min-jeong with me?”

“Why are IT developers involved in semiconductor design?”

“With Cheon Min-jeong’s ability, I think she will be able to create innovative products in no time even if she teaches just a little bit about semiconductor design.”

Lisa and Cheon Min-jeong.

You will definitely get the effect of obtaining the Yeouiju from the dragon.

It was a time when Cheon Min-jeong had to focus on the development of artificial intelligence.

“I think moving departments will be difficult because there are so many projects I’m working on right now.”

“Then, would you be okay with us meeting and talking once in a while? “It’s like having a meeting of ideas with the vice president.”

“Of course that is possible. “As long as Cheon Min-jeong agrees.”

“all right. “I will discuss that issue with Cheon Min-jeong.”

Taewoo Electronics is finally starting to run properly.

Until now, I had to start the direction and take care of all the details, but now CEO Lisa can take on that role.
