Jung Jinsup swallowed a pill for his headache.
“Dammit! I will make him regret it!”
Jung Jinsup glared at Park Jonghyun sitting in the conference room.
“Bastard!” He murmured. His eyes looked crazy.
He hated his job, but he had no choice.
Then suddenly, he could smell roses.
“Anyone here?”
Shin Semi was behind him.
Jung Jinsup asked in confusion, “Oh, what are you doing here?”
“I heard Woosung is here.”
When Woosung came out of the meeting and saw Shin Semi, he grunted, “Why are you here? You didn’t even call that you’re coming. I thought you have better manners than that.”
At Woosung’s sudden irritation, everyone froze.
He was the boss of everyone and everything here.
All the employees tensed. Shin Semi also stammered at his unexpected coldness.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude.”
“And how did you know I was here? Only my secretary and my driver know my schedule. Coming here was actually a spur of a moment thing. Did you bribe my driver to get information on my whereabouts?”
Shin Semi became speechless at Woosung’s interrogation. She actually didn’t know how her assistant found out where Woosung was.
Woosung continued to accuse her. “Advisor, I consider you one of my close acquaintances, but there are boundaries you need to respect. How would you like it if I did something like this to you?”
Why was he overreacting?
Shin Semi thought they were closer than this. She felt betrayed. She answered impulsively, “I wouldn’t mind.”
“Pardon?”
Shin Semi raised her voice. “I said I would be okay with that. I believe I have the right to seek you out.”
Woosung looked confused. “What?”
Shin Semi explained, “Mayor Oh asked us to examine S Pay. He wanted to know if it was really possible, and how practical and innovative it was. I was hoping to discuss this technology with you, yet here you are accusing me of how I found you.”
“Advisor, you’re missing the point.”
Shin Semi answered bluntly, “Then what is the point? Is there anything more important than business to a businessman? Don’t you think it would be damaging to you if we gave him a negative report?”
Woosung became rigid at her threat.
“I think you are misunderstanding the situation.” Shin Semi bit her lips nervously. Woosung asked, “Is the security level of Nuri Finances higher than that of America’s DARPA?”
“…”
“This technology has been approved by DARPA. Mayor Oh probably wanted a confirmation. Do whatever you want, but remember who will lose if we end up in a battle.”
Woosung walked away and before leaving the office, ordered loudly to Park Jonghyun.
“We will go ahead with the plan, so get prepared. Make sure never to allow outsiders to our office. This is a company that deals with security technology. Remember that.”
Shin Semi followed Woosung out quickly.
“W…wait. I didn’t mean…”
“Advisor.”
“Yes?”
“Someday, my company will become much bigger than Nuri Finances. Would you be okay with that?”
“W…what are you talking…”
“I am telling you that my ambition is endless. I may end up taking over your company. Would you still see me as a friend even then?”
Shin Semi tried to calm Woosung down. “You are being unreasonable.”
Woosung continued quietly. “Advisor, I became a CEO in only a year. One year. Can you imagine where I would be in 10 years?”
“A company can’t grow that fast. You will learn eventually that a company cannot grow continuously forever at this rate. Your company will stabilize soon.”
Woosung started to feel that this conversation was going nowhere. “That is why I am getting into many different businesses.”
“But if one or more of them fail, then…”
Woosung cut her off. “Then let’s see what happens in 10 years. We’ll see where I end up then.”
Woosung turned around. This was always how they ended their conversations and arguments.
They both didn’t know how to compromise.
***
Woosung returned to his KND headquarter. There was more work for him to do.
Future technology research team.
It was a department created by Woosung. It consisted of the best developers in the world including Amelia.
Woosung greeted everyone.
“Are you all ready?”
“Hey! What’s new?” Ted, from England, replied as he loudly chewed a piece of gum.
Amelia looked at him with a frown and Ted shrugged his shoulders.
“I would like to congratulate everyone here for the successful development of S Pay and Coin. I am ready to let you know about the next project.”
Peter, a dark-skinned man in his 20’s, asked curiously. “I am listening.”
Woosung looked around the room and asked. “Who read Google’s paper on GFS?”
GFS (Google File System).
It was a system different than Window’s NTFS and Linux’s EXT2. Ted raised his hand.
“Doug Cutting used it to create the Hadoop system.”
“That’s right.”
Ted sneered and asked, “Are you thinking about the big data? Did you really get us here for that?”
He obviously didn’t approve of the idea. Amelia raised her voice, “Ted! Have you even studied big data before?”
“What is there to study? I glanced at it, and it was useless.”
Woosung said to Ted, “Didn’t I tell you that what you think in your head is different than actually making the idea into a practical solution for customers?”
“And that’s why we made S Coin. I did find blockchain interesting.”
Ted was an immature pig.
However, his skills were undeniable, so Woosung let it go.
“This will be interesting as well.”
“If you are serious about working with big data, I’m out. It’s boring.”
Others seemed to agree with Ted. Woosung said one word to the room.
“AI.”
“AI? You mean machine learning?”
“Specifically the deep learning.”
“But that is something that isn’t used widely because of the overfitting problem. Even if you fix the problem with GPU, it will be too slow…”
Ted suddenly murmured to himself, “Well, there are plenty of data for learning so the only problem would be overfitting.”
Overfitting.
It referred to a model that models the training data too well. It happened when a model learned the details to the extent that it negatively impacted the performance of the model on new data.
Woosung looked at Ted and replied, “The first thing we need is the data for the AI to learn, and that is why I mentioned big data.”
Ted raised his voice. “Like I said, unless you can fix the overfitting problem, it will not work. Do you even understand what I’m saying?”
“Ted, that is why I hired someone who can fix that. Shane, please come in.”
A man with curly black hair walked in.
Shane Legg.
He was the founder of Al Mind Technologies in Woosung’s previous life.
Woosung recently purchased a brand new company Al Mind for 70 million dollars.
The company consisted of only three people.
It specialized in AI technology.
If Jang Gwangchul knew this, he would have called Woosung crazy. However, Woosung knew this company was worth a fortune in the future.
Shane walked in and bowed lightly. He then started the brick breaking game.
No one was playing it, but the game went on by itself.
Ted exclaimed. Amelia looked surprised as well. So did Peter.
“Double Point.”
“Double Point.”
“Double Point.”
“Double Point.”
The AI was playing the game with excellent skills.
“Congratulations! Hidden Stage!”
The AI even found a hidden stage, which was often missed by human gamers.
