chapter 24
Founding club president Lee Cheol-woo (6)
“This! Cheolwoo!!!!!”
Minseok called me loudly.
“I’m going to fall on my ears. Speak quietly.”
“No, can I not get excited right now? Passed, passed, selected for our task. 49 million won support confirmed!”
Minseok said in an excited voice.
“hahahaha, it was meant to be.”
“Ah, of course there was a feeling. But it’s different from seeing the results directly like this. Hey…… Did you know that our labor costs are included in that?”
“I know.”
The final support fund was 49 million won, and there were various business expenses, including labor costs for Minseok and I.
I don’t have to worry about my pocket money this year.
“Hey, it’s really great. Lee Cheol-woo!”
“hahahahaha, Minseok, you also worked hard to make a PPT to decorate your documents.”
“That’s something anyone can do, but not everyone can do technology.”
“Anyway, this is the start.”
“yes.”
“So how much can we spend on materials?”
“Our labor cost is 2,500 won for 6 months, 2 million won per month, 24 million won after subtracting 24 million won. From there, it’s about 20 million won, minus 5 million won for other overhead costs.”
“Oh, 20 million won? With that much, I can make a prototype, right?”
“I’ve put in quotes from a few metal fabricators, and I think that’s good enough. I don’t do much with motors or anything like that.”
“Okay. Didn’t I design the other day?”
“That free vector gear?”
“Uh. Put in an order sooner rather than later.”
There were a few things to test out about that gear.
Apparently, the calculations were designed to withstand 100 rotations per minute… … . I didn’t know until I actually tried it.
“What material do you use?”
“It’ll all be written there.”
“Ah, okay, I get it. Is this enough?”
“No, House Alim has designed a PCB board to be additionally mounted on the device, so please place an order for that as well.”
“When did you make this again?”
“It’s been a while.”
“Oh, there is this too. This is not made to order, please order some of these as well.”
He said while giving Minseok a piece of paper filled with various restraints.
“Wait a minute! Time! Just one thing at a time, too many.”
“Take it slow.”
“I have no choice but to do it slowly. Now that the results are out, it will take more time to actually execute business funds.”
“Okay, I get it.”
* * *
The farm automation system was in the midst of stepping step by step.
The science and engineering start-up project was proceeding normally, and Min-seok used the funds to place orders for various companies and to buy materials.
I was also in the middle of putting my whole mind into making an automated system.
“Cheolwoo. Finally, the one I ordered the other day has arrived. The free vector gear you mentioned?”
“Oh, are you finally here?”
It was made much later than we expected.
“I mean. I said it would take a long time to process because the complexity is so high. But, from my point of view, this will take a long time.”
Minseok said as he took out our order from the box.
The total number of orders was slightly different for each size of 20. I was planning to make various automation systems with this.
“Give it to me. Let’s test it right away.”
“Yes. Here it is.”
After accepting the Free Vector Gear from Minseok, he started the test right away. Although it was not a very difficult test due to the lack of test equipment.
First, we connected the device and engine of the Auto House that was under development.
This made it possible to control the motor remotely.
Next, the engine and the temporary iron bar for the bulkhead were connected, and the free vector gear was grafted between them.
“Oh, it’s hard. Minseok-ah, hold me here.”
“Here? Can I hold it like this?”
“uh.”
Sweating, oiling and screwing, they continued to complete it.
“Phew, we’re almost done.”
Now you should be able to block all kinds of variables with this.
“Hey…. Seriously, Cheolwoo you’re a jackpot. No, you said you were going to make it then, so you really made it like this? hahahahaha, all I can do is laugh.”
“Make it.”
“When I think about it, I don’t know what I was thinking about making it.”
“hahahaha, well, the results are good anyway.”
“That’s the same, but where did you really learn this stuff? Oiling… Selecting an engine, making gears, really, there’s nothing I can’t do. There’s nothing I can’t do.”
“No, there are many things I can’t do.”
Minseok said with a genuine admiration.
“Oh, come to think of it, it was today.”
“what?”
“Designer, he said he would come today.”
“Oh? Designer Inje, did you get it? I heard you had an interview the other day, how did it go. It’s been a while since then.”
“Actually, I didn’t find anyone I liked at the time, so I searched for it for a while.”
“Ah, that’s what happened. So what kind of person are you?”
“First of all, it’s pretty.”
“…? This bastard? You’re filling your selfishness here?”
“No, listen. Isn’t it better to be pretty than not to be pretty?”
“It’s true. But we’re a start-up club, and we didn’t create it to flirt.”
“I know.”
“You mean that?”
“Yes. Her skills are outstanding. I won the grand prize in a design contest held by the Ohsung Group, and this time I also won the grand prize in a contest held in Busan.”
“Eh? There was someone like that at our school?”
“Uh. I searched and found it. It was really hard to ask.”
“Lee Yeol~ Isn’t that great?”
Minseok says I’m good, I’m good, but I can’t keep up with that part. How could he have been able to inquire about and attract such a person?
“No, you’re the only one.”
smart-
Someone knocked on the club room.
“Yes, please come in.”
As Minseok said, the door opened and a small woman entered.
‘pretty.’
It was the first thought that came to my mind the moment I saw her. What Minseok said was not a lie. She was so pretty that any man would fall in love with her at first sight.
Almost like a celebrity.
‘and… … . You’ve been flirting with such a woman? Minseok is great too? It’s unbelievable that he has excellent skills as well.’
As we couldn’t take our eyes off the woman, she started talking to us.
“Hello~ Is this the Lava Fly Team, a startup club?”
Her voice was soft and very feminine.
“hahahaha, yes! That’s right. This is Lava Fly, a start-up club. I’m Lee Cheol-woo, the current president.”
“Welcome. Hyejeong, the club room is very messy right now.”
“No. It’s really cool. Actually, I was dreaming of a club room like this.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“Eh… so, um. Do you know Google? Hee hee, is the question strange?”
“You know Google.”
“They say Google started in a garage because there was no place to do business.
is that a compliment? is it a curse?
Doesn’t that mean that our club room is dirty like a warehouse?
I looked around.
‘… … . If it was worse than the warehouse, it would be worse, but I won’t be relieved.’
There are tools and various electronic devices scattered here and there, and even me who is sweating while wearing a padded vest.
It was perfection itself.
‘Ah, why is this timing? It must smell like sweat.’
I tried sniffing my body for no reason.
“Hee hee, you don’t have to worry too much. It’s cool. He’s working hard and sweating.”
A person named Hye-jeong said, as if she had noticed the action.
“… But I’m a bit sorry. If I had known you were coming today, I should have prepared a little more.”
“No. You’re working hard, but I came as an uninvited guest. Anyway, thank you for putting me on the Lava Fly team.”
No, how on earth did Minseok come out so favorably after he was grilled and boiled?
I might hate it
Or is it just the personality itself? If that’s the case… … . She is an absolute angel herself.
“Ha ha, no. Nice to meet you. We also needed a good designer.”
“Thank you for liking it. Then did I just become a member of the Lava Fly club?”
“Minseok-ah, did you have that application form?”
“Uh. Hyejeong, just write this here.”
“all right.”
She responded very lively.
After a while, she brought it to me as if she had completed the club application form.
“Here! I have an application form.”
“Ah, yes. I see.”
“And, did you say Cheol-woo oppa? I have a request for you.”
“Yes, yes. What are you asking for? Just tell me.”
“This is also a commemoration for us, so can we take a picture?”
“A picture? Yes. Then I will.”
“Minseok oppa also came with me to take a picture.”
“Yes. Hyejeong.”
Hyejeong took out a tripod and digital camera from her bag.
“Do you think this is a hobby?”
“Rather than a hobby… how should I say? I want to cherish every moment? I like to take pictures. And looking at those pictures, should I say that I get inspired?”
hmm… … . i don’t know this girl
“is it so?”
“Yes. That’s why I often take pictures. Heehee. Huh…?”
While setting up the tripod and camera for a while, Hyejeong made a puzzled expression.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“Yes. My camera suddenly stopped working? I came back after charging it this morning… Why is this like this? Should I go to the service center?”
“Um, would you like to give it a try?”
“Yes. Here it is. It’s my grandmother’s keepsake… Please handle it carefully.”
A keepsake? What’s the matter?
I thought it was rude to ask in the first meeting, so I didn’t say it.
I took it carefully and turned it on.
The camera’s monitor flashes a blue light.
‘Hmm, I think the capacitor on the display side is out?’
It seemed to know the cause of the failure.
“Uh, this capacitor is out. Can I fix it?”
“Yes. It’s okay. It’s broken anyway…. The A/S period has passed. Please take a look if you’re not rude.”
“Yes. Wait a minute.”
I took the camera to the workbench and started disassembling it here and there.
“Wow~! It looks like this inside the camera. It’s amazing seeing it for the first time. hehehe.”
“Wait a minute. I think this part is missing… Let’s see, did you have the same capacity?”
When I looked for electronic materials, there was only one of the same capacity left.
“I think we should replace it with this one.”
I immediately lit the iron and started replacing one part.
“Okay, that’s it. Maybe this fixed it.”
Hyejeong took the camera I handed over and carefully turned it on.
Then the light from the camera started to come on again.
“Wow! Awesome. Seriously, awesome. How did you fix it?”
“hahahaha, you just saw it.”
“Wow~! It’s really cool. I’ve seen computer science majors fix computers once in a while…. This is the first time I’ve had an older brother fix cameras. Really, really, really amazing.”
She was genuinely amazed.
“……then shall we take a picture?”
“Yes! Wait a minute. I’ll finish the installation and come back.”
In no time the installation was over.
“It’s done. Cheol-woo oppa can stand here, and Min-seok oppa can stand here.”
“yes.”
“yes.”
With me at the center, Minseok stood on the right, and Hyejeong stood on the left.
“One, two, three!”
click-!
If you add Changsoo, who couldn’t attend due to work at home, they were the founding members of the LF group.
* * *
It had already been 3 months since Hyejeong came in.
The greenhouse automation system was almost complete, and I was in the middle of deciding when to go for installation.
-This summer is expected to record the highest temperature since meteorological observations have been made. Citizens, refrain from going out in preparation for the heat wave… … .
Not too long ago, the news was playing on the TV set in the club room.
“It’s a heat wave, a heat wave.”
“It was hot. I need to lower the temperature of the air conditioner.”
“So, why is it so hot? It’s 18 degrees.”
“Seriously, how do I install it because it’s so hot? Should I do it after summer? Hmm…”
“Don’t you get busy after summer? They say the vinyl house is closed in summer.”
“No, there are places that do it even in the summer. My dad is doing it right now.”
“Really? In this hot weather?”
Tiri-ring- Tiri-ring-
While I was talking with Minseok, the bell rang.
“Uh~ Mom, what’s going on?”
It was my mother.
– Cheolwoo. I need to come soon
My mother’s voice over the receiver was not good.
“Why? What’s wrong?”
-Dad, your dad… … . you fell down
Did your dad fall down?
