85. expand again
Taeyeon was a person who hated unnecessary things and valued efficiency.
This tendency, which began as a fledgling game developer, continued right after he became the CEO of a giant corporation.
He inspected the inside from time to time, and when he saw unnecessary projects or personnel, he mercilessly applied a knife.
But that didn’t mean they were randomly kicked out. I switched to a place that suits my ability and inclination.
In this case, the status window was very helpful.
This tendency has sometimes caused complaints and dissatisfaction to industry people and job seekers.
[Neckple is not good at hiring new employees.]
Because of this very same problem.
The reed forest, or the community where industry people gather, used to bring up this issue every day.
-Neckple, the better, the higher the threshold. Now I have no idea what to do to get in. In the past, it was easy to get a job if you used insider recommendations well… … now there is no way
└ CEO Yoo Tae-yeon does not select people well. It seems to be the tendency to place great importance on efficiency.
└ It’s efficient, but it’s not ruthless and inhumane, and it doesn’t send out employees at all. I put a lot of effort into transferring to a job that suits my ability or inclination. Without this humanity, in my view, 50% of the current staff would have been fired.
└ㄹㅇ… … As the head of the Nexple new project, more than half of the full-time employees working at the company are just monthly lupines. It is rather good to send all of them because it can save labor costs and achieve extreme efficiency.
└ It’s efficient, it’s nabal, I don’t need all of them, and I want to join Nepple. let me get in! brother! are you watching This is my third challenge. If you hire me, I will work like a dog, so please… … !
Although the ratio of new hires has decreased significantly compared to the previous year, recruitment of personnel has continued despite this.
As a result, one problem arose.
– There are no seats!
-There are no seats in Pangyo or Gangnam!
As a result, new personnel recruitment is all-stop!
Neckple and Taeyeon were in trouble.

One executive said during the meeting.
“Actually, it’s quite a bit… … No, it’s very inefficient. When you need a representative more than anything else, there are many cases where you are in a different place… … .”
“In my opinion, it would be better to find an office building where the scattered teams can be integrated, even if it means moving out of Pangyo.”
All they wanted to say was one thing.
We need a bigger and more beautiful office building!
“We need to bring the scattered teams together. In fact, I was also uncomfortable going back and forth between Pangyo and Gangnam.”
“Let’s take this opportunity to go to Seoul. There was a really good sale in Yongsan.”
His eyes turned to Lee Tae-young, director of the business.
he said with twinkling eyes.
“Most developers hate commuting to and from Pangyo. Transportation is difficult and there is nothing around except company buildings… … I recommend going to Seoul for the sake of the staff.”
“What do you mean by Yongsan for sale?”
“You know save? It’s an entertainment company… … .”
“Of course I know. Aren’t they big entertainment companies? The people who are friends with my wife are idols belonging to that company, so I know them well.”
“If it’s an idol belonging to Save who is Yoona Kim’s friend… … .”
“Are you talking about Bone Black!?”
Bourne Black.
Some of them were elderly, but they were a world-famous girl group that even they knew about. This is because they are the only group that visits the famous Billboard chart like their own house.
Yuna Kim, who has been working hard on broadcasting lately, sometimes brings top stars to her house and treats them to meals, and these black members are quite frequent visitors.
“You know there’s another large building right next to the new Save building, right?”
“yes. It was very big and huge.”
“Why don’t we rent it out and use it?”
“Rent?”
“Isn’t foreign currency our company’s main source of income? There is also the problem of currency exchange, and then there is the problem of having to pay double taxes.”
grinning
“The owner of the building is able to rent it at a much lower price than my old acquaintance or the market rate.”
what to do
Shall we discuss with Chairman Yoo Jin-seong?
I thought about that for a moment, but shook my head.
These days, Chairman Yoo Jin-sung has fallen in love with Yoo Jin-sung’s rap work and fell in love with the taste of discovering new talent. And when you talk about it, the answer is obvious.
-You are the representative. you do it yourself! I’m busy!
Knowing that, director Lee Tae-young must also be making this suggestion to himself.
“Let’s push ahead with the expansion migration.”

The news broke.
[Neckple leaves Pangyo and Gangnam and moves to Yongsan!]
This news has become quite a big issue.
Isn’t Pangyo Techno Valley a conglomerate that has been positioned as a landmark in Korea’s largest IT complex?
To think that such a large group would move to another area?
Embarrassed government officials ran and desperately offered various conditions to dissuade and hold him, but it did not work.
I needed a huge complex where I could work immediately, but there was no such property in Pangyo. Even if he did, he had already made up his mind to leave Pangyo.
Taeyeon was tired of the commute war as well.
‘Anyway, when the Gwacheon business complex was completed, I had to clean up and leave.’
A considerable amount of land was secured in Gwacheon. If there is a shortage of seats, you can raise the building again.
‘It’s not like what will happen to Pangyo if we leave alone. Let’s not care.’
Unfortunately, however, the news that Nero Soft was moving to Seongsu-dong began to circulate.
After a while, it was officially announced through the media.
[Nero Soft. Purchase a K-Mart building in Seongsu-dong for 1 trillion won! It will be used as the headquarters building!]
[The reason why hot fashion and IT companies are flocking to Seongsu-dong these days… … ?]
Nero Soft, another landmark of Pangyo and the biggest competitor of Nexle, is also leaving Pangyo.
At lunch, Choi Jong-hak said something seriously.
“Wow, if this happens, Pangyo will be in serious trouble… … The news that he is leaving Nexle right now says that many partners in Pangyo are preparing to relocate… … .”
If you leave Nero Soft, the heart of Pangyo Techno Valley will be empty.
It’s definitely a different feeling when one landmark company leaves and two leave.
‘Couldn’t there be a massive rush to escape from here, saying that you and I will ‘get out of Pangyo’?’
* * *
When the Nexle Pangyo office building was put up for sale, the market reaction was hot. Reputable companies have contacted us saying that they would like to use it as a new office building.
Among them, there was a company that almost dominated the domestic messenger market and the largest portal site.
In the end, Nexple’s office building was won by a messenger company.
‘Pretty… … No, that’s a great price.’
Of course, it was necessary to take into account that the land price in Pangyo is expensive and the Nexle office building is in a very good location. It’s not that long since the year has been there… … It was close to the latest.

Moreover, it was not that there was a defect or that the situation was urgent.
It was natural for large corporations to be able to dispose of it at a high price.
The expansion and relocation to Yongsan proceeded quickly.
People seemed very interested in saying that South Korea’s largest entertainment companies, Save and Nepple, had become neighbors.
Here, the relationship between Taeyeon and the Save signboard group was also highlighted. Save and Born Black welcomed their neighbors through their official social media accounts.
However, those who welcomed this rapid expansion more than anyone else were those in the industry who were preparing for employment and job change.
-When the expansion transfer is over, will employment be activated again?
└ㅇㅇ A friend of mine works in the HR department, and he said that a large-scale job offer will be posted soon, and he told me to wait if I consider changing jobs.
└ㅇㅋ This time, I will definitely succeed in changing jobs. Neckple!
└ I also want to join Nepple. This is my dream company.

“I don’t think I need to do any interior work. The interior and exterior are very clean and stylishly built.”
“Still, it’s not like there isn’t a place to look. Security systems also need to be strengthened, especially in cafeterias and cafeterias. … .”
Taeyeon and Director Taeyoung Lee, who visited the Yongsan office building, had a lot of conversation while touring the interior.
It was originally built as a trade center, so it was optimized for businesses.
“I’ve always thought that the office building in Pangyo at Neckple was good enough… … Looking at this place, I feel that my thoughts were very short.”
“The new headquarters and business complex in Gwacheon will be built much bigger and nicer than this.”
It was so spacious and the space was well-distributed that even all Nexple employees moved in.
Although it is said to be a rental, it was a space for all of Nexple’s personnel to live. So, I paid attention to work and welfare facilities in a way that was not excessive.
“There is a cafeteria, library, and fitness system that utilizes the view… … Oh, and there is also a floating garden outside where you can take a walk. I think you can use it as it is without needing your hands. It was very well put together.”
In addition, the shooting studio was further expanded.
In particular, it was clear that 3D scanning equipment with the latest technology and equipment would be of great help to 3D modeling work through actual model scanning.
“Technology development is good. At that time, I had to do modeling and animation by hand… … .”
“A lot of people still work that way. I heard that there are many studios who deliberately work that way because they want to highlight their individuality and details… … .”
“That is also done with the help of these state-of-the-art equipment. It’s not like that, but if you have to build everything from scratch in the old-fashioned way, it costs too much, time, manpower, etc.”
“Right.”
“Recently, major Hollywood studios make the best use of the latest equipment and software, including Epic and Unique engines, to create the best blockbuster movies. There are things I saw and learned while I was in the US, so I’m going to apply them little by little to our company.”
Cost-effective games are good, but the royal road on this floor is the triple aaa level game.
“We are already too far behind. We need to catch up as quickly as possible by whatever means we can.”
Director Lee Tae-young smiled at Tae-yeon’s will.
“Thanks to having a good representative, the overall level of the company has risen steadily. I have to grit my teeth and work hard to catch up.”
Suddenly the day got dark.
“I haven’t even seen half of it yet… … It’s huge, it’s huge.”
“Maybe it was also because the director and I talked too much?”
“Hmm, shall we go get something to eat? There is a Korean beef omakase restaurant nearby.”
‘It’s not just about having a meal.’
Taeyeon checked the time and nodded.
“You do that.”
