I was just surprised.
When I met the president and confirmed the reliability, 82% came out, so I trusted him and entrusted the work.
‘I never thought of working like this before.’
If I wasn’t directly involved in everything, I wouldn’t be relieved. But now, when the level of reliability exceeds a certain level, the work can be entrusted with peace of mind.
This has made business operations much easier.
Free time naturally increased.
‘How good will come out this time.’
All that was left was time to sort it out.

It was not easy to adapt to the two separate residences. But humans are animals of adaptation.
‘It’s not easy, but it’s worth doing.’
Instead, he learned to pass the time on a private jet. These days, technology has improved, so you can make calls or use WIFI while flying.
Thanks to that, there was no time to be bored.
‘Today, Owen Hawkins asked me to check the papers.’
Last time, I looked at the feasibility of technology with the eyes of a pioneer, and after that, whenever I had a chance, I found myself. However, in the eyes of the pioneers, there was a fatal flaw, the cooldown.
‘Because I shouldn’t ask unless it’s absolutely necessary.’
Still, it was important to build a relationship of trust as much as a business that invested a large amount of money. I headed to Silicon Valley to check the progress of the Silicon Valley landmark project commissioned by Chairman Cheol-Hyun Lim.
A video call came from Elisa.
“(Yes. Ms. Elisa.)”
{(Jaegoo! I got a message saying that we are leaving for America. When will you be coming home?)}
Elisa has moved into a secure mansion located on Long Island. She decided to keep the apartment she originally lived in during the contract period and use it as a place to stay when she is busy with work.
They said they would attach a driver, but she turned it down saying that she would call when needed.
So I was more concerned.
‘Mr. Elisa is too independent.’
I thought it would be nice if you could rely on me more. It was a problem for people who depended too much on it, but I was a little sorry for being too independent. Ha-yeon and her parents take care of everything, but they don’t want to take what I give them.
‘I’ll get used to it gradually.’
Still, when I went to work, the driver was driving me. Little by little, they would have to adapt to each other and get used to it.
“(I’m going to Silicon Valley. I think I can get in at 10pm.)”
{(Really? I won’t eat dinner. I’ll wait.)}
“(I’m just doing yoga.)”
{(I want to eat with Jaegoo.)}
melted away at her smile.
“(Okay. Do you want something to eat?)”
{(I feel like having a glass of wine with my steak today?)}
“(Is that so? Elisa-san chooses the wine.)”
{(Okay. Can I pick anything from the seller?)}
I visited a wine shop with Elisa and bought dozens of bottles of wine. A large wine refrigerator was placed on one wall of the lobby on the second floor.
Normally, the blinds were put up to isolate them from sunlight, but when they were pulled up, a wine refrigerator with a transparent window was revealed.
He also bought 5 bottles of the wine he drank on his first meeting with Elisha and stocked them up. Elisa said that every time she drank that wine, she remembered their first meeting.
“(Sure.)”
{(Tenderloin steak medium rare, please.)}
“(What kind of garnish should I prepare?)”
Elisa delivered the requested menu to the chef. Because I had to inform them in advance to prepare for the market. Since he was also in charge of the staff’s meals, he had three more subordinates, so he would take care of them.
When I arrived at the landmark construction site, Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun ran out to greet me.
“Chairman Kim Jae-goo, are you here?”
“You can let go.”
“No matter how much my son and I are friends, can we talk to the CEO of the partner company?”
Since we started working together, he always said respectful things to me, and although it was burdensome, I didn’t feel bad.
“Thank you for attending our last wedding.”
“Of course I have to go. It was my first American wedding and I really enjoyed it.”
The reception was more like a party than an event. After the congratulatory speech, Della Foster actively led the party.
I didn’t know that Elisa and Della Foster were in touch without my knowledge, but they said they had talked several times to prepare for the reception.
“President Seol Gyeong-taek and former President Aaron Diggs, I knew they were unusual people, but they all made me feel shabby.”
“Not at all.”
The innovative design I saw has yet to be implemented. Instead, they dug a deep basement and proceeded with systematic foundation work.
“The basement is pretty deep.”
“Yes. The first basement floor is designed to be a wide hall with a ceiling height of 4m. The lower part of the statue in the garden is made of glass windows to create an environment where you can see the stars even underground.”
It reminded me of the impression I had when I first saw the design.
My heart was pounding at the thought of looking at the night sky from the basement of a building shaped like the universe.
“I want to invite and show my acquaintances for about a week after completion.”
“When it’s completed, isn’t it Chairman Kim Jae-gu’s building? You can do whatever you want.”
“hahahaha. That’s right.”
I realized that now I am not in a position to ask for advice, but in a position to decide the schedule and proceed with the business.
It seemed that he felt a little bit of the manager’s loneliness.
“The foundation work is the most important, so we put a lot of effort into it. It took time to build after the demolition, but construction will accelerate from now on.”
“Don’t rush, you can take it slow.”
“The delivery date has to be met.”
Seeing the building under construction, I was struck by the grandeur of the building that will become a landmark. The foundation alone is so huge, but once the construction is finished, it will be enough to become a landmark for others to recognize.
“Please finish well.”
“Please leave it to me.”
He took out a blank check, wrote the appropriate price on it, and handed it over. Cheolhyun Lim accepted it with surprised eyes.
“What is this?”
“Have a dinner with the staff. Isn’t unity important? Don’t overdo it.”
He checked the amount.
“I don’t need this many.”
“I am the builders of my buildings, so shouldn’t I use this much? Please build it so that I can use it for 100 years.”
“100 years.”
Cheolhyun Lim narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly.
“I’ll make it usable for 300 years.”
“Are you kidding?”
“As long as you take good care of it, it will be enough.”
he showed confidence
“Are there any difficulties at work?”
“There is no current situation. The supply and demand for bulletproof glass is on the edge, but I think we can somehow meet the deadline.”
“If you have any problems, please feel free to contact us.”
“Yes. Chairman.”
I wish I could have lunch with him, but my schedule was busy today. After finishing the conversation, I immediately moved to Robora Robo.
‘There are so many techniques to see.’
Since the cooldown of the Eye of the Pioneer is almost over, I thought to help by checking the priorities. It would take a little more time if other technologies needed to be checked.
Roborabo’s building was the same as always. I saw a building that looked like a large factory warehouse, and it was quite familiar.
Upon entering, this time the Segway automatically came out to meet me.
[welcome. Chairman Kim Jae-gu.]
As if a face recognition function had been added, the robot called my name clearly.
[If you board, I will guide you to the representative room.]
It’s nice that Owen Hawkins comes out to meet you, but this kind of thing was also quite good because it was like science fiction. When I got on the Segway, it automatically took me to the representative’s office. A smiling face appeared on the instrument panel of the Segway.
[I hope you had a comfortable ride. The representative is waiting for you, so open the door and go in.]
After recruiting Han Kyung-ah, it was clear that the Korean version was properly updated. Maybe it was made for me.
While watching the Segway moving somewhere, the door opened and Owen Hawkins’ face came out.
“(Welcome. Chairman Kim Jae-gu.)”
“(It’s been a while. Mr. Hawkins.)”
Ever since I got the presidency, Owen Hawkins has called me “president” every time. So I was also calling him by rank.
“(Did you see all the requested documents?)”
“(Are you planning on developing a space shuttle?)”
Owen Hawkins grinned.
“(We are reviewing it. If it is feasible, we will also enter the business to commercialize space travel.)”
he looked at me
“(Is that okay?)”
“(Suddenly, why space travel?)”
“(Can’t we solidify our image as a leading tech company if we succeed in launching a rocket?)”
It was the fastest way to show it visually. At the same time, it was not an easy way for anyone to succeed.
“(In addition, we plan to provide a service where robots serve instead of flight attendants. Since our customer base is people with money, we believe that it will become an advertisement tower to promote the excellence of our robots.)”
“(Are you going to launch a rocket for that?)”
“(Isn’t that cool?)”
Owen Hawkins’ eyes shone like stars. Seeing the expression on the man’s face chasing his dream, I wanted to cheer him on.
He handed over a bunch of papers.
“(If only this technology is realized, we can beat our competitors in terms of price. Space travel will become mainstream in the future.)”
In 10 years, that might be the case.
“(Doesn’t it cost a lot to fire once?)”
“(Advertising effect is greater than that.)”
He was right, as long as he got into orbit, all kinds of media outlets would advertise for free.
“(Your heart is connected.)”
Leisurely, looking at the file he handed over, I activated the Pioneer’s Eye. A blue light flashed through the stack of papers, and colors began to appear over the letters.
This time, even hints were included.
With hints, the development period could be shortened.
‘The harvest is pretty good.’
I picked up a pen and underlined the marked parts and colored them. Owen Hawkins gulped and looked at me.
“(Knowing you would, I checked this technique first.)”
“(What do you think?)”
“(If you look at a few parts, I think it’s a technology that can be realized.)”
He handed over the documents with brief notes along with hints. Owen Hawkins took a serious look and slowly read the note I marked.
His expression changed moment by moment.
“(Um. Ah. Ah! That’s why you keep failing!)”
Owen Hawkins looked at me with an exclamation.
“(If you consider only the marked parts from a different point of view, there will be good results.)”
The judgment made by the pioneer’s eyes was a pass.
However, it was a conclusion based on the premise of correcting hints and red parts.
Owen Hawkins exclaimed.
“(Chairman Kim Jae-goo, how does he know all this?)”
“(I am not doing the analysis alone.)”
“(Still, how did you remember everything and write it all at once?)”
“(My memory is rather good.)”
He nodded in admiration.
“(I’m really lucky to meet someone like Chairman Kim Jae-gu. Can you check out other techniques too?)”
“(I’m going to have to get an advisory fee for this.)”
“(Ah! I’m sorry. It wasn’t something I could have asked for free. Why don’t you register as an external executive and take care of it?)”
“(I have a lot of money. If you give me a share, I will be grateful.)”
In an instant, Owen Hawkins’ expression hardened.
He rested his hand on his chin and thought for a moment. His gaze was fixed on the paper I handed over on which I had written notes.
After a while, he raised his head with a serious expression.
“(That’s good. Just being able to save research money and research time would be a big help.)”
It was also something to ask and see.
“(Then, shall we talk in detail about the terms of the contract?)”
From nob le mt l dot com
Jaegu Mr. i have something to say
Negotiations were concluded without difficulty. In the first place, I wasn’t trying to pull out and eat Robora Rob’s pillar roots, I just wanted to be recognized for the fair value of my labor.
Investments can be attracted through presentations, but it was natural to be more careful because sharing shares would reduce one’s share in case of success.
So, giving me a stake was no different from giving me that much importance.
‘Looks like I’ve been recognized.’
As my labor was valued, so did my requests. Six review lists were reduced to two. It was clear that he picked and chose from among the six to prioritize.
‘I’ll have to look at the rest if I have time.’
Roborabo invested quite a lot of money, and the stake has already reached 15%. If the company succeeds, my assets also increase, so there was no need to waste my money.
***
Elisa came to Korea for a vacation. It was only a short three-day vacation, but seeing her face made me feel better.
I went directly to the airport to pick her up and bring her home.
“(Jaegu’s house in Seoul. It’s been a while.)”
“(It’s also Elisa’s house now. I hope you come visit often.)”
“(You know I’m busy.)”
“(I know. That’s why I can’t even ask for it.)”
