The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

237. technology to prevent disaster

The year of 1999 dawned, and Ho-yeong started preparing for her wedding in earnest.

What Hoyoung didn’t know.

No, if there’s one thing most single men don’t know, it’s that there are so many steps to a wedding.

Starting with the wedding ceremony, where to do the wedding makeup, what to wear for the dress and hanbok.

And in addition to setting the day to receive various gifts, weddings, and selection and reservation of honeymoon destinations.

‘And, the wedding hall is expected to be held for six months, and there are people who wait for almost a year.’

Hoyeong and Sumin’s mothers got a wedding date from a fortuneteller who said they were both dragons.

His wedding date is Saturday, June 12th.

And he even made a reservation for the wedding hall for that date.

The place where Hoyeong plans to have her wedding is the Koryo Hotel under the Myungsung Group.

It was a hotel run by Cho Nam-sik and Cho Mi-jin, Jo Jung-sik’s younger sister.

She didn’t have a chance to meet Ho-yeong because she had fallen out of the succession structure early on and concentrated all her energy on running the hotel, but she was unaware of Ho-yeong’s influence on the Myung-sung group, so it was clear that she would do her best for the wedding.

Sumin made most of the decisions, and Hoyoung followed her and agreed to her words several times, and the warm spring of 1999 was already approaching.

Ho-yeong was dozing off in the seat of the plane heading to the United States, probably feeling more tired than usual.

“President. Please recline your chair and go to sleep.”

“Ah, I’m still sleeping. I really want to lie down and sleep. thanks.”

Miru slightly woke Hoyeong.

Hoyeong pulled the sheet back as far as possible and lay down.

“You look very tired these days.”

“Iknow, right. I do this because it’s once, I can’t do it twice.”

Hoyeong answered Miru, pulling the blanket over her head while lying down.

“haha. Is that enough?”

“yes. I don’t seem to be doing anything, but it takes up a lot of time and energy. Besides, I couldn’t sleep well because I was finishing a program I was trying to develop recently.”

“ha ha ha. I thought the president was an iron man, but he shows weakness when it comes to marriage preparation.”

Hoyeong poked her face out of the blanket and said while looking at Miru.

“I don’t think now is the time for you to laugh, chief, right?”

“Me?”

“yes. Rumors that Hee-jin is now waiting for me have even reached me.”

“Hup…”

Miru took a deep breath, and Hoyeong smiled and went back to sleep.

The reason why Hoyeong went all the way to America even in the middle of such a busy time was to take care of two things.

The first was to meet President Bush after a long time, and the second was to meet and negotiate with the representative of a certain company.

And for the second reason, Hoyoung had been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks to complete the program.

.

When Hoyoung woke up, the plane had just landed at Washington International Airport.

“I was going to wake you up, but you just woke up.”

“You have arrived. I slept soundly for a long time.”

“As expected, the chairman seems to be sleeping really well on the plane.”

Hoyoung shrugged and came to his senses.

The plane stopped completely, and Hoyeong and Miru packed up and headed to the arrivals hall.

Upon arriving at the airport after simply checking in, Hoyoung found someone waiting for them.

“Mr. Yun? nice to meet you Excellency is waiting for you. We will see you from now on.”

They were entourages sent by Bush.

All of them were tall, heavy, and professional looking.

Hoyoung believed them and got into the car.

After about 20 minutes, Hoyoung felt the car stop and got out of the car.

And I met eyes with Bush, who came to meet me at the arrivals hall.

“Five! Hoyoung! Long time no see. We’ve talked on the phone often, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other’s faces.”

“haha. It’s an honor to meet you after a long time. dismissal.”

“ha ha ha! Just like before, you can comfortably leave out His Excellency.”

Hoyoung followed Bush’s guidance and held several events before entering the banquet hall.

Then Bush waited at the dinner table for reporters to take some pictures, then bit them all.

“I want to have a comfortable conversation even while eating.”

“Excellent choice.”

Thanks to Bush’s consideration, not consideration, Ho-yeong was able to eat comfortably.

“I heard that the service has just started with the completion of an undersea cable from the US to Korea.”

“yes. I’m glad it was completed sooner than expected. And as a result of the test, the quality of service is not bad.”

“To be honest, when I first heard Hoyoung’s story, I thought it was absurd. A cable physically passing through that distant Pacific Ocean.”

“As you’ve been with me for years, you know, I’m not a big fan of bragging.”

Hoyoung’s answer was playful, but his face was full of confidence.

Bush nodded.

What made him one of the best companies in the United States and made him president were all things Hoyoung said and put into practice.

“You are like a wizard. Everything you say is actually made… So, what are you here to say today?”

“haha. You noticed.”

“Doesn’t Hoyoung only contact me when necessary? He’s been to America a few times, and he’s never been here.”

Bush said in a humorous tone.

“I can’t stop by the White House every time I come in private…”

Then, when Hoyeong said in a tone that she was in trouble, she laughed out loud.

It was a genuinely happy expression.

“It’s a joke. Joke. Shall we hear what the real business is then?”

“Again, this is a business proposal. It is a business that requires national construction.”

“What is it?”

“We are going to lay fiber optic cables all over the United States.”

“Optical cable?”

Bush asked Ho-yeong, but he knew what an optical cable was.

And how expensive it is to lay fiber optic cables across the United States.

Looking at Bush with a dark expression, Hoyoung smiled knowingly and said,

“I know it’s difficult, of course. However, our company has successfully developed a new technology. You can make it for about 1/3 of the original price.”

“Is that so? It is true, though, that it costs a lot of money.”

“I heard that there are many unemployed people in the United States right now due to the economic downturn. How about hiring them on a short-term basis for construction work in their area? Just like the old New Deal.”

“Hmm…”

Bush groaned slightly, lost in thought, then nodded.

“good. It seems that there will be various justifications, and I have received many reports that the quality of life of citizens will be greatly improved if optical cables are laid and the communication speed is increased.”

“Yes. As you well know, ADSL has limitations.”

Bush nodded.

It was the moment when the wind of installing optical cables and base stations was blowing all over the United States.

“And there’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you.”

“What kind of request is it?”

“This is a request that will be of great help to the United States. I would like permission to use satellites so that satellite communications can be applied to my latest technology.”

Bush’s face grew serious.

What Hoyoung talked about a moment ago was a matter of a different level from simply causing construction throughout the country.

Hoyoung said it lightly, but it was strictly related to the US defense.

“Well···. May I ask what the reason is?”

“yes. It is for the remote control of the plane.”

“Remote control of the plane?”

“To put it simply, it is a function that allows the pilot to control the airplane remotely through satellite communication when the pilot is unable to control the airplane for some reason or the autopilot (automatic flight function) is forcibly turned off. Of course, a delay of about 3 to 5 seconds may occur due to the limitations of physical satellite communication, but…”

“If this technology is successful, the plane that is about to crash will be able to at least make a crash landing.”

“Exactly.”

Bush was able to understand Ho-young’s words easily thanks to his interest in cutting-edge science and technology, especially programming and the IT industry, after making a connection with Ho-young.

“Hmm···. As Ho-yeong said earlier, it could be of great help to the United States.”

“It will definitely help.”

Hoyoung’s face was full of confidence.

“haha. I can’t believe what you say… yes, that’s good However, there are a few conditions.”

“What are the conditions?”

“First of all, I am the president who is responsible for the defense of the United States. First of all, the location of all satellites is not provided except when the technology is first introduced.”

“good.”

Hoyoung nodded happily.

“Second, information such as our topography and features cannot be viewed through satellites. Are you okay?”

“Of course I agree.”

“Then the last third. It seems that only each airline and our government know that this technology has been introduced into the plane, and it should be done as a confidentiality. If people find out that satellite information is being used by companies in other countries, they will definitely be anxious.”

At Bush’s final condition, Ho-young’s face brightened.

“That is exactly what I wanted.”

“okay? Of course, if this technology is really safe and practical, the government will connect other airlines, so you don’t have to worry about sales.”

“good. Thank you very much.”

After that, Ho-young left the White House after having a slow conversation with Bush even after the meal.

Among the conversations with Bush was the advice that Wi-Fi, a data transmission protocol based on the wireless communication standard technology IEEE 802.11, should be adopted as the official short-range wireless Internet.

.

next day.

Hoyoung flew to Chicago and arrived at the H&H Americas headquarters.

The next day I spent another day there remotely dealing with overdue work.

Hoyoung greeted guests in the reception room of H&H America’s headquarters.

“Nice to meet you. President. I wanted to see you. This is Yun Ho-young.”

“Nice to meet you too. I heard about it from the president. My name is Matthew Spears, the chairman of American Airlines.”

The person Ho-young was dealing with was the chairman of the American Airlines Group, the national airline of the United States.

He came all the way to Chicago to talk about the ‘remote control of aircraft’ that Ho-young had told Bush a few days ago.

Its headquarters was in Fort Worth, Texas, so it wasn’t too far away, but Ho-young’s position had grown so great that the president of American Airlines, a certain magnate, came to see Ho-young in person.

“A rough proposal was passed through the White House. They said they want to introduce technology that can remotely control aircraft using satellite communication to our aircraft first.”

“That’s right.”

Hoyoung talked to Matthew Spears for a while.

At first, Matthew was dubious, saying that such a technology could not be possible now, but thanks to Ho-young’s confident attitude, Ho-young’s reputation, and his words in the White House, he eventually accepted the proposal to introduce it to a few aircraft as a test.

“Thank you very much for accepting the offer.”

“no. In fact, it seems that there is not much investment on our side. It’s just that the technology is introduced and a few planes are tested and that’s it.”

“haha. Even though it sounds simple, I know very well that it is difficult for you to do so willingly.”

Hoyoung shook hands with Matthew Spears.

‘American Airlines is now over. Now it’s United Airlines’ turn.’

Ho-yeong thought his big plan was halfway successful.

He was thinking of preventing a great disaster in the next year.

“Oh, but I want to ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Didn’t you say that you don’t get royalties and you don’t need royalties?”

“That’s right.”

“The benefits of adopting this technology are… As I said before, every time you use this technology, it’s 10 million dollars paid out of warranty insurance. What do you gain from that, Hoyoung?”

When Hoyoung heard the story, he smiled and replied.

“Airplane accidents don’t happen often, but once they happen, they are terrifying accidents with a mortality rate of over 90%. I just thought that people, as people, have technologies that can protect people, and that we shouldn’t hesitate to adopt that technology for the sake of profit.”

“ah···! Okay. We, American Airlines, will do our best to cooperate with Mr. Yun.”

Matthew bowed his head sincerely to Hoyeong and left the drawing room.

The look in his eyes when he saw Hoyoung was a different, warm look from when he first came.
