Chapter 62

Blind reaction. We moved into a new residence, and many of our employees worked from home. There was a huge risk, like coronavirus, so I was willing to take the risk even if there was a work setback. ―Eddie: The third cloud update is over. Performance improved by 12%. The grid will go into effect next week. ―Allison: The shopping mall launched successfully. First day sales of $9.5 million. While working from home, the development was carried out according to the set schedule. Is it proof that the company has excellent employees rather than having outstanding abilities as a manager? Oh Myung-woo laughed sinisterly. “Hehe, God. Sooner or later, Earth Resource sales will increase again.” “Why?” “cloud. Because we are cheaper than our competitors.” We were negotiating with various IT companies. In Silicon Valley, there were a lot of companies researching artificial intelligence based on machine learning. The reaction was good because it allowed them to freely use their computing power along with price competitiveness. Due to the nature of cloud services, after signing a contract, you can expect stable sales for a fairly long period. “Myungwoo, if the company’s profits increase, let’s raise the salary system for the employees.” “Uh. Okay. Are you giving me a raise, too?” “Of course it should. We will prioritize the treatment of developers and give them plenty of gifts.” Earth Resources’ success has been attributed to its employees, especially its developers. It’s been a while since I started my business, but I thought that a set of electronic products from Korea would be good. Televisions, refrigerators, cordless vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, and more. ‘It reminds me of walking around department stores with Jo Soo-ah in Korea.’ This time, I planned to buy items from the Source shopping mall and send them to the employees. I had to keep my source coin promise with Eddy. “Ask the staff to write down a list of the electronics they need.” Really?” “It is a welfare policy. When you work from home, you spend a lot of time at home.” “Right.” “Either electronics or furniture, or sofas. If there are any items we need, let’s send them all.” Earth Resources is turning into a surplus, and the profits are enormous, but we should give enough to the staff. Medium and large sedans or SUVs released by Future Auto. I also considered gifting a vehicle that was quite usable, but gave up. Developer salaries in Silicon Valley run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you can be disappointed when you receive a future car for several thousand dollars as a gift. I woke up early in the morning in a $10 million mansion. Tweet! The birdsong, which is difficult to hear in high-rise apartments, came from the garden. ‘It’s good.’ Drink hot blended coffee at the tea table in the garden. I didn’t go to work, so I enjoyed my leisure time. ―Paul: We are discussing the part about the first clinical trial. The response in the US is not as good as expected. ―Kim Shin: Really? There was a reason why the reaction to the developed coronavirus vaccine was lukewarm. ―Paul: There are many empty places in the submitted documents. It is a Korean company that has no record of vaccine development so far, so it can not be helped. The situation was roughly guessed. In the US and Europe, pharmaceutical companies with a history and tradition and a diverse portfolio of new drugs have exceeded $100 billion in market capitalization. A situation where such companies are developing a coronavirus vaccine with fire falling on their feet. Suddenly, an unknown pharmaceutical company in Korea, even a company without any development experience, came up with a vaccine. ‘Even I can’t believe it.’ Even my wealth wasn’t great considering the size of the pharmaceutical companies. ―Paul: We are continuing discussions. Clinical trials are expected to begin next week. -Kim Shin: That’s right. I’ve been studying a little bit about the vaccine developed by Biolife. Spike protein. This could be seen as an external form of the virus. Just as the appearance of a computer or a car is completely different, the human body remembers the shape of the virus and triggers an immune response. A method of forming immunity by injecting the spike protein of coronavirus as an antigen. ‘It must have been possible to make it thanks to the research and development so far.’ It is a stable method that has been used for decades, and if successful, some level of immunity could be expected. ―Kim Shin: I know that there are not that many clinical staff. About 300 or 400 people? ―Paul: Most of the first rounds are like that. ―Kim Shin: I will also help the clinical trials run smoothly. I thought it was time to spend some money. It’s early morning in the eastern United States, but some people would be awake now. ―Kim Shin: Ellie. Do you know of any good lobbyists? ―Ellie: Yes. What’s going on? ―Kim Shin: I think I need to lobby some politicians. Lobbying was legal in the US. I wanted to check as soon as possible whether Bio-Life made a good product or a defective product. It took only 30 minutes to hire a Washington political lobbyist. He is a lobbyist who has done a great job in the field of anti-gun control. I was able to trust and write as much as I could. An employee of Earth Resources. A large truck arrives at the home of single mom Diane. A group of burly men got off the truck and knocked on the door. “Is this Mr. Diane Acker’s house?” “Yes. What about it?” Diane went out the door and looked around. Neighbors were watching him. He looked at them, asking them to report it quickly if something happened. “We are from Earth Resources.” “Yes?” “I haven’t heard from you for several days.” “My child is sick… So, did you get fired from that company?” As soon as I started working from home, I called to say that my child was sick, but I didn’t answer the phone. The scheduled tasks were inevitably delayed. “I brought a present from CEO Shin Kim.” “Yes?” “He didn’t choose anything, so he just told me to send them all. You don’t have to accept things you don’t need.” Wheein! The side of the 5-ton truck opened like wings. The loading space was filled with sofas, large TVs, home appliances such as refrigerators, and children’s items. Diane opened her mouth wide. “Are there so many things the CEO is giving me as a gift?” I had a suspicion. I’m a single mom, but I’m in my early 30s. If it’s a bribe she likes… … Should I get one anyway? “It is being sent to all employees of Earth Resources.” “Ah.” A bitter regret. Neighbors approached as the burly men carried things into the house. “Diane, what happened?” “The company sent me a present.” “Really?” “Yes.” “Hasn’t it been a while since you got a job?” “I know, right. It’s only been a month.” Gifts include dolls, toys, and snacks that your child likes. There were even Korean-made masks. Blind. It was an application for office workers to anonymously comment on the company. Earth Resources. – A recently established company. – The skills of the programmers are crazy. ―Why are these guys crowded with groups of kids who want to be here? -What is your salary? └Marketing seems to be a little over $90,000? └ 120,000 to 250,000 for software development. Depending on your skill, you can get more. └ Incentives are said to be better than annual salaries. └ The representative is a super-rich man from Korea. ―The CEO is more famous than the company. ―As soon as the source coin was created, it hit the jackpot. It seems that the CEO can formulate a business model. – I joined the company because the CEO liked it. -Uh? Me too ―The CEO said that he had been divorced in Korea. Spring on YouTube -Really? Good news! ―Why is this good news? ―You mean you’re not married right now! I was looking at my phone in the garden, and my body was shaking. ‘It feels like I’m being targeted.’ Blindd app. I was looking at it as a representative, not an employee. Even when I went to Arcor, I checked the blinds every day. At that time, doctors cursed a lot… …. As of today, there have been many posts about eEarthresources on the Blind App. – A present has arrived. -Me too! ―The company sends a gift. But I’m sending you a few of these. ―It seems that everything you picked was sent to you. ―Well, he asked what he wanted to receive, so I marked it for now. Didn’t you just give me one? ―What gift did you guys get? ―86-inch TV, latest computer, refrigerator, home theater, 4 game consoles, robot vacuum cleaner, washing machine, clothes care machine, air purifier. -It’s similar to me. ―Beds, sofas, and large tents are provided. It’s the first gift from the company, so can I give you just one? Earth Resources was growing unexpectedly fast and was paying more than $200,000 per hour in the black. The company’s assets, for now, are its business model, reputation, and outstanding employees. The most important thing here is the staff. As a start-up company, we thought that good treatment of employees was essential for growth. The gift was sent with a budget of 50,000 dollars per person. They are employees who receive a lot of salary, but so that they can rejoice with the company’s growth and success. You will feel good when you receive such a gift. ―When I asked if there was anything else I wanted to receive, I wrote that it was a luxury hotel in Las Vegas. Received a call to reserve a suite room for the desired date. -I have a letter. -Yes. There is a letter written by the CEO himself. ―Thank you for working hard. Be careful of the coronavirus. I wrote to wish you a nice day. – I have the same content. Write down my daughter’s name separately. ―???? ―Are the stories you guys are talking about real? What company are you doing here? -Good company. Be nice to your employees. I’m thinking of burying my bones in this company. ―I’m also going to put in my job application. The response from the staff was good, so I was happy. However, the company’s problems were also written on the blind app. ―But the number of employees has increased so much that I don’t know who is who. ―The desk grows rapidly. ―It’s because it’s a startup that just started. You have to understand that you’re crazy. The increase in the number of employees is unavoidable, but space in the company has been a constant problem. Despite using the entire two layers, it feels a bit narrow. ‘This is why companies are trying to set up office buildings.’ The fortunate thing is that working from home is the trend right now, even because of the coronavirus. I called Oh Myung-woo, who feeds carp in the garden. “Myeong-woo, let’s buy a company building and move when the coronavirus settles down.” “Really?” “Yes. Let’s get them to work in nice buildings. We hire cooks to serve meals all the time.” “Well. Good idea. Where is the break room?” “You need to grow more. When you want to play, you can play.” I thought I would properly prepare my employees so that they could work satisfactorily. 〈New York State, 80,000 coronavirus patients〉 〈US, corona death toll exceeds 3,000〉 〈” Help me” ambulances across the United States, medical personnel to New York＞ 〈New York Economy, Corona Strike〉 〈Corona 19 Fears, Dow Falls 4.44%〉 Corona continued to spread around New York. ―Elly: I’ve been confined to my house for a week. ―Ellie: I can’t go anywhere. As I kept in touch with Ellie, I realized that I should stay with her for a few days in New York. Unlike Korea, the number of deaths from coronavirus was rapidly increasing in the United States. I heard from Dr. Lee Ho-yeon that it is not a fatal disease. The majority of healthy people, young people do not have dangerous levels of illness. ‘It’s not to the point where New York falls.’ Nonetheless, patients flocked to the hospital all at once, and those who did not receive basic medical care suffered great damage. “Jason. Can we get a private plane to go to New York?” “You’ll find out right away, boss.” Bodyguard from the AS. I booked a private plane through Jason and decided to ride it. It was because of the idea that regular airplanes could be vulnerable to infection. “Jason. New York will be dangerous, but will you still follow me?” “It’s my job to keep you out of danger.”
