game date
A project to open the Pangea system.
While the 20 elite programmers of Earth Resources were making perfect preparations, a call came from the head of the opposite sex group.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: According to the results analyzed by the Strategic Business Headquarters, sales of high-performance computers could drop by more than 30% in the long run.
I didn’t calculate the specific figure, but 30% was a staggering level.
Although it brought a lot of profit to the opposite sex group, it would all be blown away with the Pangea system and even cause damage.
The moment I was trying to feel a little sorry.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Isung Group will actively support your investment this time.
-Kim Shin: Really?
―Vice President Seon Jae-yong: We were able to fully prepare thanks to the advance notice.
I didn’t understand the contrast.
Is it possible to prepare for the loss of Lee Seong-electronics due to less computers being sold?
―Kim Shin: What plans do you have?
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Overall, Lee Seong Electronics cannot afford the loss caused by the decline in computer sales.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: We intend to have competing companies cover the losses.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: A game of chicken will be played throughout the industry, centering on Lee Seong-electronics, and companies that cannot withstand the price and volume will be weeded out this time.
“Wow… … .”

Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong had a good impression and was a person who treated me favorably.
While doing business in the United States, I forgot for a while how scary the heterosexual group was.
So far, it has had a history of growing by crushing leading companies in Japan and the US with bold investments and volume.
‘Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong is not an ordinary person either.’
He had a history of preparing and ruining the online service of Lee Seong Group, so many people in the world had doubts about his management skills.
But after that, I must have been intensively building management classes for over 20 years.
Born as a conglomerate, he must have prepared a lot from a young age, managed a company, and dealt with other entrepreneurs and subordinates.
People would change even if only one year of experience was accumulated, but since I have lived that kind of life all the time, there are things I have to admit.
‘If you’ve lived a very intense life, break the law and go to prison to experience it.’
Wouldn’t it be humanly possible to say that I’ve been through all the prenatal battles.
Spirit alone was worth emulating.
―Kim Shin: It’s amazing that it’s a game of chicken that turns a crisis into an opportunity.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Lee Sung Electronics plans to readjust its investment plan in the future. Instead of delaying the immediate investment, we will implement a large investment plan later this year or early next year.
―Kim Shin: A large-scale investment?
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: If the management of a competing company becomes difficult, the investment will be canceled. The goal is to expand large-scale production facilities, including foundries, and widen the gap with other companies.
―Vice President Seon Jae-yong: We were able to fine-tune this plan thanks to the CEO notifying us of it in advance.
It was only enough to let me know that there would be great damage to my business partners.
I also expected Lee Sung-electronics to cooperate to some extent.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: And if it’s a personal greed, I’d like to make a little investment this time.
―Kim Shin: As for investment, is it a put option?
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Yes. Unlike the representative, I am in the same industry, so it is difficult to invest. However, I have some undisclosed funds, so I’d like to try operating them, is that okay?
If they actively cooperated, there was no need to stop them.
―Kim Shin: How much is the investment?
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: It is about 2.1 billion dollars.
It would be a bold bet with a winning number, but the amount did not feel large.
You probably owned most of your fortune in unsellable stock, and not many people have as much cash as I do.
-Kim Shin: As much as you like. Let’s do it together.
―Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong: Thank you.
After the conversation with Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong, I thought for a moment.
Earth Resources’ business was breaking new ground.
Although cloud business, contents, and shopping malls overlap with existing business areas, they have been digging into niche markets and the market size is rapidly expanding.
It is a bonus to receive the untact effect due to the corona era.
‘I’m really glad I didn’t compete fiercely.’
And I kept in touch with Senator Bill Karen, whom I met in New York.
―Bill: Even if President Biden takes office, the policies of Buy America and First America will continue. We will give a lot of subsidies to American companies that make in America and employ Americans.
―Bill: A more active policy will be implemented to revive the US economy, which has shrunk due to the corona. You probably know.
When I was in Korea, the image of the United States was a country that believed in free trade while crying out for globalization.
A superpower with powerful finance and advanced technology.
The United States was trying to bring manufacturing back together by mobilizing policy.
―Bill: Since you have abundant capital, it would be good to take an interest in the manufacturing industry.
―Bill: The next White House is also very favorable to the representative.
―Kim Shin: Even though I said something bad in front of Biden-elect, are you friendly?
―Bill: The halo effect of being the first producer of the corona vaccine is still strong. Since the successor president is old, he will not have a bad relationship with a reputed representative even to hide his weaknesses.
―Bill: There is also the fact that Biden’s acquisition team did not understand the CEO’s remarks as a political attitude.
―Kim Shin: I really had no political intentions.
―Bilbil: I think we will be contacted when the owner of the White House officially changes. It could have been a little bad, but I embrace that person. As a president, can’t we expect a more wonderful effect?
It occurred to me that politicians are quick to gain and lose interest, and that they pursue pragmatism rather than emotion.
There is a time difference between Korea and Korea, so I texted Jo Soo-ah, who was usually on duty in the evening.
-Kim Shin: What are you doing now?
―Jo Soo-ah: I’m going to the hospital in Gangnam.
―Kim Shin: You must be going to Bright Light Eye Clinic.
―Joshua: That’s right! How did you know?
―Kim Shin: On Wednesday afternoons, you often went to the Bright Light Eye Clinic. The director doesn’t do surgery on Wednesdays because he’s tired from playing golf with his acquaintances every early in the morning.
―Joshua: That’s right. You are still doing that.
Because of the time difference from Seoul, we couldn’t be together for a long time.
All I could do was send text messages or make phone calls.
[Last Survivor]
Oh Myung-woo introduced a game developed by a company that acquired a stake in Earth Channel.
“Shin-ah, so the background of this game is the near future. After about 10 years?”
“by the way?”
“It is a world that has become completely apocalyptic due to nuclear war and even a comet collision.”
“therefore?”
“Users start surviving in each area when the game starts. There are over 10 maps. From undead cities to jungles, battlefields, sewers and frozen cities. You are free to choose your way of survival… … You have to eat food at set times. Either steal it from an NPC or go to a restaurant and steal it.”
“and?”
“There is also the concept of leveling up. Although the level absolutely does not work.”
“So what happens?”
“In the end, I’ll shoot and kill everyone else, leaving only me alive.”
“… … .”
Didn’t he copy Battleground after seeing it?
After all, most battle royale games had a similar format.
“I invested 20 million dollars to save this thing that was going to be overthrown during development. We will launch it this week.”
“Yes, yes. okay.”
The development of the game was completely left to Myung-Woo Oh.
The advantage of Earth Channel was that it could save many failed works through experience.
As long as there are many subscribers, even if it is a manga game, if some users enjoy it, the development cost could not be wasted.
‘Last Survivor’, which started the service like that, recorded 100,000 visitors on the first day.
“I told you! Because this explodes.”
“… … .”
Something seemed crude, but will this game succeed at the box office?
When the game starts, you can feel the thrill of struggling to survive.
Try to survive while securing weapons, food, and resources in a city about to be destroyed.
They die in vain without being able to avoid disasters that occur in a certain range at a certain time.
It was also necessary to acquire information to know the type and scope of the disaster.
‘People like things like this.’
The next day, it continued to be a box office hit with 230,000 concurrent users.
〈’Last Survivor’ released on the Earth Channel〉
〈The secret behind the popularity of the game ‘Last Survivor’?]
〈Total development cost of $30 million. Successful recovery of investment on the first day＞
Myungwoo Oh said excitedly.
“We will continue to increase the number of disaster types and background cities. Not to mention the items.”
“yes.”
“Sooner or later, we should hold a game tournament.”
After work, I ended up playing games with Oh Myeong-woo at home.
The feeling of accessing the earth channel and enjoying the game was strange.
Because everything belongs to me
―Jo Soo-ah: I want to do it too.
When I told Jo Soo-ah that I often play games with Oh Myung-woo, she said she wanted to connect.
―Kim Shin: Didn’t you hate games?
―Sooah Jo: Not necessarily. At Arcor, there are many employees who are the last survivors.
-Kim Shin: Really?
―Jo Soo-ah: Na Sang-guk and Lee Eun-young led the creation of an in-house game team.
From that day on, I played games late at night with Jo Soo-ah.
Hide in a building with her, run away, find and shoot other enemies.
Fighting to acquire information about catastrophes happening.
– I found a cure.
“let’s go. You have to run to the next survival area.”
The fun of playing games while talking with a headset and microphone in a tense situation.
‘Did the customers who came to the PC room with their girlfriends feel this kind of fun?’
It felt like I was having experiences and fun that I hadn’t had in my 20s.
Although there is a difference between a platform developed by myself and a game made by a company that owns a stake.
-hello.
“Nice to meet you.”
―Are number 1 and 2 a couple?
“yes. you’re right.”
When the four players played as a team, Jo Soo-ah and I played games with strangers.
What is the subtle fun of playing games while hiding your identity between her and other people?
“Jongyeop.”
“yep. older brother.”
“A microphone and a speaker. Let’s make it the best.”
As an office worker with a lot of money, cash is essential to play games.
The sound play was very important in determining the location of the enemy.
The desire to show a better image in front of Jo Soo-ah.
I contacted a sound company and set up speakers for the entire room for $4 million.
“It is said that the sound quality may not be good because a small current flows through the computer. So I added some electronics and… … .”
“yes. okay.”
It was much better to enjoy the game because it perfectly supported the sound.
After coming to America, I lived hard and fiercely.
The pressure of investment and business, the stress of meeting people.
I was able to enjoy many of these things while playing games and playing with Jo Soo-ah.
Even though we are far away in Seoul, it was nice to be able to meet and talk and play games even late at night.
