Chapter 108

Beloved company representative. Earth Resources has over 1,600 employees. Over the past year, the size of the company has grown, and excellent talents have been employed. As I sat in the office, I overheard the conversations of the employees. “Layla, customer support delays on the Earth channel are getting too long.” “I know. I asked the customer service center in India to quadruple the capacity. We plan to operate a customer center in Malaysia, where there are many overseas Chinese, for China-related consultations.” The Earth channel starts service, and the things that happen are handled by the staff. When important payments were made by the team or business unit, I or Oh Myung-woo handled them. “Diane.” “Yes. CEO.” The Earth Channel opened, and the company became busy, but the important hurdle was passed. I felt very sorry for the staff to go on vacation at a time like this. “I think I need to go on vacation for a while.” Ahh. Please.” “Yes?” Diane said with a smile. “CEO, you have to do bigger things now. We will make sure that the work of the Earth Channel is not hindered.” “… … .” There were some illusions about me within the company. Earth Resources was a fast-growing company, and Eddie, a genius, was at the center of the technology field. Eddie said that when new employees come into the tech field. “The design of Source Coin was done by Kim Shin-hyung. Even cloud services after that. I had envisioned the core businesses of Earth Resources in my head. Isn’t it wonderful?” “Wow. That’s amazing.” Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, MIT. Employees who came to Earth Resources after graduating from a prestigious American university and working for a global company. An atmosphere of admiration for Kim Shin spread among them. “The CEO of our company said he would be one of the 5 richest people in the world.” “I am building enormous wealth with an investment sense that penetrates the flow of the economy. There are a lot of people who follow you on Wall Street. Seriously, my father, who works at Chase Bank, told me. How about quitting Apple and getting a job at Earth Resources? That’s why I came to this company.” “K-vaccine. Did you read the article that this would never have been made without the CEO?” “You have a great reputation and popularity in Korea. It deserves to be popular enough.” An atmosphere of worshiping Kim Shin was formed by the staff. An astounding genius with a sparkling sense. As a person who naturally achieves numerous achievements. Many of the female employees were interested in Kim Shin’s life in Korea. “You say you don’t have a family?” “He said he lived by doing everything by himself. Go to school, go to work.” “I heard the marriage broke up after a year.” “Understand. A genius like you can’t lead a normal married life.” “I was very lucky to have a woman I lived with, even for a year.” In the meantime, Shin Kim took the initiative to prepare the Earth Channel Content business. It was not a field with low barriers to entry because prominent companies were settling down first. “In the beginning, you would have to spend a lot of money on publicity. Even if you spend hundreds of dollars to add one user, it won’t be enough.” “Famous dramas and movies are already contracted with other OTT companies.” “If you start a business now, it won’t be profitable.” “Other divisions of Earth Resources are making a lot of money. The CEO is a person with astronomical wealth. Even if it’s a reckless business, the company won’t be in trouble.” Earth Resources employees. People from various business units watched the Earth channel with concern. It’s just that I didn’t protest because of the reputation of Kim Shin or his achievements so far. ‘There’s no way I’ll succeed.’ ‘Content is not a technical field. Earth Resources is not a popular company.’ It is difficult for a challenger to overcome competitors and settle into a new market. At the time, there were also several articles on the Earth Channel. 〈Earth Channel focuses on Korean content. It is far from the taste of American viewers＞ ＜$5 plan. Unlike Netflix, the goal is to target the low-cost market＞ 〈From broadcasting and movies to game distribution. Trying to catch a lot of things＞ 〈Blitz Acquisition of Paramount Pictures. The market’s evaluation that it is reckless if there is no sustained hit＞ Even while attending Earth Resources, I couldn’t help but be influenced by the media. “Even if the Earth Channel fails, I hope the CEO won’t be disappointed.” “I want to wrap you in my warm heart.” And after the Earth Channel opened, it was the staff who were more surprised than anyone else. Performance on the first day. Perhaps because of Shin Kim’s popularity, there were many subscribers from Korea and Asia, and American subscribers also flocked to Top Gun. In a few days, the number of subscribers will exceed 100 million, and it is running towards 200 million. The media, which had been pouring out negative views about the Earth Channel, changed their attitude. 〈Earth Channel, will it become a platform that encompasses all contents〉 〈The Octopus Game That Shocked the American Broadcasting Industry〉 〈A storm of earth channels sweeps the broadcasting content market〉 〈Earth Channel Dominating Asia and Europe Beyond the US〉 Even the staff did not anticipate this success. Employees who had seen the octopus game before the official opening of the Earth Channel also thought it was fun, but they hadn’t thought of such an enthusiastic response. “How much is the Earth Channel worth now?” “I don’t know. Clouds and shopping malls can be easily calculated with numbers, but the influence of over 200 million people cannot be calculated only with money.” “Selling it for $20 billion, there must be many places to live, right?” “It’s crazy? They would buy each other for $50 billion.” “So we built such a huge business in a matter of months.” “To be precise, the representative did it. Although the technical field is what we did.” An atmosphere of respect grew among the staff. A man who achieves everything with genius. Nevertheless, during lunchtime, he plays basketball with the employees and hangs out casually. “CEO. Score a goal!” “Faster!” “So cool!” A group of beautifully dressed female employees who had just graduated from college cheered on Kim Shin as he played basketball. In the shopping mall or the Earth Channel business department, some employees were 190 cm tall and played on the basketball team in college. Every time they took the ball from Kim Shin, the female employees screamed. “Ooh!” “Daniel! Get out of the house!” “Do not worry. We will take good care of the company.” “CEO. The shopping mall division will do its best.” I also informed Eddie of the cloud division and Allison of the shopping mall division of the vacation plan. I said it because I felt sorry, but Eddie didn’t care at all. I haven’t been of much help in the technical field anyway. When Elon Musk had a problem, he said he solved it by eating and sleeping at the factory. I was a busy person who searched the Internet even if there was an error in Windows. “In the mall division, keep adding people as needed.” “Yes. CEO. Thank you for caring for me.” I looked at Allison with some pity. Isn’t it the division that suffers the most in Earth Resources? The shopping mall division is chasing after the existing operators while reaping huge sales and profits. It reminded me of what Allison said when she joined Earth Resources. Families with young children, students, and young people with their first jobs. Even old people are entering the twilight years of life. The items you need are diverse. We want to find good things and sell them at reasonable and affordable prices.” I came here after working as the manager of a famous department store in California. I tried to put my dreams and happiness into internet shopping, but the reality is… …. -Oh yeah, successfully acquired 250 Source Coins! ―Thank you for the source coin. ―Resell it! ―Is this the sacred place of Source Coin? Electronic products in the shopping mall were being robbed as soon as they were received by the coin hunters. If you somehow secure good items and post them on the shopping mall, you will receive product reviews… …. ―This was for women. ―I don’t have an SUV, but I bought brake pads. I just want to buy an SUV. ―It’s raw, not frozen salmon. I bought 50 kg to get coins. Can I freeze and store? The shopping mall division is constantly fighting against the coin bugs. Although the purchase was restricted per person, it was difficult to completely block relatives or those who entered through various subscription channels. But if you don’t give the source coin, there will be a riot. The Earth Channel’s success wasn’t necessarily good for Allison. ―I didn’t know about Source Coin yet. – Gazua!!! Gaza!!! Gaza!!! ―After joining the Earth channel, you became an integrated member of Earth Resources. All shopping malls and coin exchanges are available! Sales in the United States increased significantly, and in other countries. In particular, orders from Hong Kong and China have increased by more than 30 times in two weeks. The shopping mall division is increasing the quantity, but the out-of-stock situation has not calmed down. ―Please sell me some more. Yes? ―Why can’t I buy even though I have money? -I want something expensive. Do you sell cell phones or laptops in units of 100? The number of coin monsters who rob shopping malls has increased dozens of times. Even for general customers, it is necessary to prevent the out-of-stock situation, but even backpacks for children are swept away by grandfathers in their 70s. Allison’s dreams were being trampled on in many ways. “Even when I go on vacation, I will make plans for the shopping mall division.” “Yes. I only trust the CEO.” I said it because I thought I would quit right away. I felt remorse as I watched Allison’s dark circles around her eyes get moist. However, there was no immediate solution. At times like these, it was the role of the boss to give hope and tell them to be patient. After work, I rode a bike with Lee Jong-yeop for exercise. Bodyguards, followed by a car or motorcycle, are deployed at every major street corner. “Brother, will you take me on vacation?” “Yes. It’s good if you follow me because I’m an attendant secretary.” “Khehehe. Of course, I was going to follow. But where are you going? Hawaii? Miami?” Lee Jong-yeop asked with high expectations. Even in winter, the climate was warm and there were many beauties in swimsuits. ‘Hawaii is a saved retirement plan.’ A region where you decided to live with 100 million dollars if all your business and investment failed. If I were to go on vacation now, wouldn’t I save money and take a luxurious break? “Well. For now, I am thinking of Europe.” “Europe is always good. France, Italy, Spain, England. Isn’t it just overflowing with beautiful tourists who are missing every tourist spot?” “… … .” I thought that it would be nice to live a simple life like Lee Jong-yeop. A life of dating, having fun, and then parting ways. As time goes by, we learn that youth is not forever. What you couldn’t do when you were young is difficult to do when you’re older. “How about Italy?” Italy is amazing. They say Milanese beauties are the best in Europe.” “I’m thinking of the Dolomites National Park in the Alps.” “Why are you there?” “They say it’s so good for hiking on a bike. I bike around the high mountains and sleep in a tent at night.” “… … .” There was a taste of teasing Lee Jong-yeop lightly. I love my bike, but I couldn’t afford to go to national parks and spend my time investing and doing business. “I have other plans.” “What is it?” “I’m going to England.” “Didn’t you say that the British royal family also gives knighthood medals? While staying in London… … .” He probably goes to bars and meets nice girls. “I’m going around the UK.” “Yes?” “It’s a cycle along the coast roads of England. Running 100km every day would take me over a month. You will feel pride when you succeed, as hard as it is. Don’t you think it would be fun?” “… … .” I could see Lee Jong-yeop’s face greatly distorted.
