I Became a Genius Engineer

chapter 11



Part-timer Lee Cheol-woo (4)

Director Park couldn’t help but be surprised.

He dared not even imagine.

‘Pure genius.’

That was the only way to explain Cheol-woo.

According to his common sense, it would be much quicker and more convenient to make it with the development tools provided by Google.

Isn’t that obvious? The developer who made the operating system uses the development tools to create an app.

However, it was not natural for Cheol-woo.

It just had to be made easier, so there was nothing difficult or difficult for Cheol-woo.

That’s why I thought of making a development tool from scratch.

“…… Director Park? What is this?”

Manager Min asked.

“Uh… I’m sure it’s a cross-platform app development tool.”

“Cheol-woo?”

“yes.”

“What the hell is this?”

“As you can see. It’s hard to develop both Android and IOS apps, right? So I made one. And I’m not good at Java.”

“yes?”

“Yes. I’m not good at Java, so I made it a little more comfortable for me.”

“…… No, crazy!”

Director Park had no choice but to exclaim. That too is the highest praise.

‘No, you’re not good at Java, so you’re making a cross-platform development tool? How can you think like that without being really crazy?’

Once you’ve mastered one programming language, learning another is easy. It was common knowledge among programmers.

Cheol-woo destroyed Director Park’s common sense.

“Uh… is it strange?”

“Well, how do I explain this?”

“why?”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s just, awesome.”

“is it so?”

“Yes. That’s right. Who would want to develop this way without using the development tools provided by Google. Even making the tools themselves.”

“hahahaha, it’s convenient that way. If you ask me to make an IOS later, you’ll have to do it twice.”

“ha ha ha…….”

Director Park couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Is that the idea of a genius?’

Director Park gave up on understanding Cheol-woo’s thoughts any longer. I just accepted that I was a different person from myself.

“The app works perfectly as well as the original storyboard. Plus it seems to be faster than the apps I normally use.”

“Probably so. Since it runs on Linux, not on Java Virtual Machine, the subtle difference will be bigger than expected. According to my calculations, the difference is about 0.21 seconds.”

“0.21 seconds? Well, that’s an unfathomable number.”

It was a very short time of 0.21 seconds, but the fact that all actions reduced that much time was a bigger difference than I thought.

“You can touch and respond faster than that.”

“Oh, that’s for sure. The response is quick.”

Director Park said while manipulating the edification phrase app.

“Yes?”

“Hey, it’s really great. No, Mr. Cheol-woo is a genius.”

“genius?”

“yes.”

“hahahaha…. Thank you even for the words.”

“By the way, are you actually there?”

“yes?”

“Um, I’ll tell you directly. Mr. Cheol-woo’s army will wait for you, so why don’t you officially join Blue Light?”

* * *

To formally join Blue Light?

I didn’t think about it. Obviously, if you get a job at Blue Light, you will receive great treatment and a high salary.

But that’s all.

High salary and great treatment. If you think about it common sense, it’s absolutely not a condition to refuse. but… … . Is what I really want to do is just an office worker? Are you a developer?

I am just in my freshman year of university.

Now I’m at the stage of finding my dream, can I already conclude?

‘I think it’s right to do the things I want to do until I graduate.’

Judging from the reactions of the people around me, it seems that I am really good at IT. But if someone asks if you’re having fun? well?

What I am good at and what I enjoy are different.

It would be right to choose what you are good at as a job. But now I’m 20 years old. Wouldn’t there be a job that can catch both rabbits well and fun?

There was still plenty of time.

“Sorry. It’s an unconventional proposal, but I still have a lot of things I want to try.”

“But, Mr. Cheol-woo, think carefully. It’s a human loss to have that much talent and rot it.”

“…… Huh? All of a sudden, humanity?”

“hahahaha, that’s what I mean. It means that my talent for IT is outstanding.”

“Thank you for the compliment. But, I… there are still many things I want to try.”

After one more rejection, Director Park was silent for a moment.

“Yes, I understand. If that’s what you think, Mr. Cheol-woo, I won’t say more. However, if you work in the IT field next time, please think about our blue light one more time.”

“hahahaha, I see. Of course I should consider it.”

“Thank you. Oh, and that.”

“yes?”

“Can I use a little of this CAK?”

“Yes. What can I use? Is there a problem?”

“The edification phrase app was an invention by labor, but this CAK was not included. So, CAK is purely copyrighted by Mr. Cheol-woo.”

“Oh yeah?”

I haven’t thought about this part again.

Bluelight asked for the development of the edification phrase app, so it’s right to bring the copyright to Bluelight, but CAK wasn’t like that, so is it mine?

Ah, so Minseok told me to watch the show.

It was only now that Minseok understood what he said.

“Yes, it is.”

“Well, then how about 100,000 won?”

“100,000 won?”

“Yes. Hangeul or Windows can do that. Would you like to receive something similar? Or 50,000 won?”

“…… Mr. Cheol-woo.”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you too thoughtless?”

“yes?”

“When setting the price… Oh, no. How about something like this instead?”

“which?”

“Can we do some promotion of this CAK?”

“A promotion? What is it?”

“It’s an abbreviation of sales promotion. We sell it by doing marketing or something.”

“Oh, not bad.”

“Then I need to talk to the CEO, so I’ll see you again at this time tomorrow.”

“all right.”

I need to discuss this with Minseok.

* * *

“No, so you’re saying you’re doing promotional activities at Blue Light?”

The day before, I had a consultation with Minseok regarding CAK.

“Yeah. That’s why they asked to see you today.”

“Have you come across any details?”

“uh.”

“Ugh, really… Heavenly Luck helped you.”

“why?”

“No, think about it. If that person named Director Park had a different mind, he would have been tricked into passing it on, CAK.”

“hahahahaha, is that so?”

“No, it’s nothing to laugh at.”

“ha ha ha.”

“….. I guess you’re sick of that kind of thing.”

“I guess so, ha ha ha.”

“What is it? Really, this guy?”

“Well, anyway, that’s good. Good is good.”

“Ugh, let’s not talk. Anyway, I came to you well.”

“Will you go with me?”

“Then it’s natural.”

“Then let’s go now.”

“Huh? Now?”

“Uh, I said see you in an hour.”

“No! What if I say that now?”

“hahahaha, sorry I forgot.”

“Oh hey, okay, let’s go quickly.”

Minseok and I started with blue light.

“hello.”

“Welcome. Mr. Cheol-woo, uh? A student? Surely…”

“My name is Cheol-woo’s friend, Cha Min-seok.”

“Ah, student Minseok. Welcome.”

I thought it would be a little uncomfortable coming with Minseok, but it didn’t feel that way.

“Shall we go straight into the CEO’s office?”

“yes.”

Me, Minseok, and Director Park went into the blue light representative office.

“It’s been a while, Cheol-woo. You said you made something amazing again this time?”

“hahahaha…….”

Instead of scratching my head, I answered.

“That’s amazing. I ordered you to make an Android app, but you made a cross-platform development tool.”

“Somehow it happened that way.”

“Really, Mr. Cheol-woo took both hands and feet.”

“hahahaha.”

“I also listened to Director Park’s words yesterday and thought a lot.”

“yes.”

“Why don’t you rather transfer the copyright of CAK to our blue light, rather than a promotional activity?”

“Um… are you saying that you want to transfer technology?”

“Yes. There are many risks for us to do only promotional activities. First of all…”

It is different from what I talked about with Director Park yesterday.

Is it because you are a representative?

“wait a minute.”

While the CEO was talking about this and that for a while, Minseok intervened.

“Yes? Minseok?”

“We are still students. That’s why we don’t know how much impact this CAK will have and how much it will affect the app development industry. That’s why we won’t hand over the copyright.”

Minseok said straight up.

“Well, I’ll give you 100 million.”

However, the CEO of Don’t be defeated by him said a huge amount.

‘Turn it off? 1 million? Whose family’s name is Eok?’

What the heck is that amount? It was an unfathomable amount.

“No. I will not accept the offer, no matter how much money you give. As you said, this CAK does not yet know the exact value. Until we know the true value, we will not sign a contract to transfer the copyright in its entirety.”

Cancer, that’s right.

Who knows right now whether this CAK is 100 million, 1 billion, or 10 billion?

“100 million. Even though I have 100 million in my bank account right now?”

“yes.”

“…”

“What we’re asking for is promotional activities. We can cut a small commission on sales. 7:3.”

“Who is 7?”

“We are 7.”

“Well, that’s ridiculous. If we sell this program for 1 million won, we only have 300,000 won left.”

“You don’t know how big that 300,000 won will be if it accumulates? Are you going to sell it only in Korea?”

“…!”

When Minseok spoke, the CEO’s expression became enlightened.

“Looking at the CEO’s reaction to this, I think it’ll work well overseas as well, right?”

“hahahaha.”

“Otherwise, I’ll do something that didn’t exist. I just need to properly deliver the edification stationery app, right?”

“Minseok, aren’t you being too aggressive?”

“No, they see you as a total pet. I have to say something.”

Minseok said as if he wanted to hear.

“… I understand. I will meet the conditions.”

Then the president raised the white flag.

I think the income earned from CAK’s promotional activities will be good.

Blue light and me too.

“However, I want the contract period to be at least five years. That way, we can invest and have something left.”

“Um… yes. I’ll decide that after coordinating with Cheol-woo.”

Now Minseok has completely become my spokesperson.

No, should I say manager?

Well, anyway, I was fighting blue light hard for me.

“Then can I think of it as 5 years, 7:3?”

“yes.”

“Ah, there is one more condition.”

“Yes. What is it?”

“This is a condition to properly transfer CAK’s skills to Team Leader Min.”

“Then, of course, you have to do that part.”

First of all, there must be someone who can use CAK.

“Oh, and we also have a condition. Even if it’s a company that does promotional activities, we have to charge the CAK usage fee. 100,000 won per month.”

“……. yes.”

Minseok is very thrifty.

Why are you in the Department of Computer Engineering with such a shobu ability? Wouldn’t it be better to go to the Department of Economics and Management?

“And this part…”

“Yes. Regarding that, this part…”

After that, Minseok and the CEO coordinated this and that for a long time.

‘When will it end? Ha-am, I’m tired.’

It had already been two hours since I entered the representative office.

I’m pretty good… … . Minseok was too meticulous.

“hahahaha, Minseok-ssi is amazing. I raised both hands and feet. But it’s a good condition for each other.”

“It’s a win-win.”

“ha ha ha.”

“Then see you next time.”

“Yes. I’ll show you when the contract is complete.”

“Cheolwoo, it’s over, let’s go now.”

It’s finally over.

“Hu, that’s really great.”

“No, the CAK you made is amazing. Let’s go get a coffee. I have something to say.”

“What to say?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”
