The God of Coding, Becoming an IT Conglomerate

241. Things that will change the world (2)

The two weeks of preparation for ECEC passed without a blink of an eye.

And the ECEC event in full swing.

Today’s ECEC venue had a much larger number of spectators than usual standing in front of the stage.

The audience, who normally did not watch the stage and walked around the booths, were also counting their hands in front of the stage today.

“Is it next?”

“No, next time.”

“Oh, you mean we have to wait at least 10 more minutes?”

“There are only 10 minutes left. We’ve been waiting here for two hours. Be patient.”

The stage they had been waiting for this far was, of course, Yun Ho-young’s announcement.

“What on earth is Yun Ho-young going to show up with this time?”

“Will it bring great innovation again like it has done so far?”

“You say that? The presenter is Yun Ho-young!”

The name Yoon Ho-young has grown into a name that makes anyone with even the slightest interest in the information and communication field have high expectations.

He will, too, and the steps he has shown so far have led to innovation, as they just talked about.

It continued to produce software and hardware to the extent that the word “unconventional” would suit it, and all the companies that Gaia Investment owned or invested in had grown into enormous companies.

Yun Ho-young is already being called the hand of God in the IT industry.

Another stage ended while they were talking.

It’s been 10 minutes already.

and.

widely-

Suddenly all the lights in the presentation room went out.

and after a while

Only the lights illuminating the stage turned on brightly.

“Look at the stage!”

“It’s Yun Ho-young!”

“Yoon Ho-young!”

And that new Ho-young was standing on the stage.

Hoyoung opened his mouth after taking a leisurely look at the people chanting his name.

“everyone. hello. This is Yun Ho-young.”

“Wow!”

Cheers erupted even with a simple greeting.

In fact, as rumors spread that Yoon Ho-young would make a presentation at ECEC, some people flew from New York, the eastern end of the United States, to LA, the western end of the United States, and even people flew from Europe by plane.

“Thank you so much for showing such great interest. Honestly, I have really high expectations for what I will be announcing in a moment. However, as if to live up to that expectation, thank you so much for taking so many seats. Of course, thank you to those who can’t attend and watch online.”

The optical LAN business actively pursued by Ho-young and President Bush has now made real-time broadcasting a thing of the past.

Thanks to the strong and thick cable connected to Korea, I was able to watch the live broadcast in Korea with only about 10 seconds of delay.

“I believe this stuff can change the world.”

People’s expectations were inflated when they said that they could change the world.

And yet, I still couldn’t guess what it was.

“I don’t think it’s software, considering it’s a thing.”

“I thought it might be a game, maybe a PC?”

“Can you change the world just that much?”

While people were guessing, Hoyeong took something out of the inside pocket of her suit.

“Now, here is what I am going to introduce you to!”

A camera installed at the ECEC venue took a close-up of Hoyoung’s hand.

And the response that came out was less than expected.

“PDA?”

“Is that something that will change the world? There’s also the PSP released by Nintendo a while ago, right? Oh, of course I know that Yun Ho-young has a significant stake in that PSP.”

In the midst of people buzzing.

Hoyoung showed them a relaxed smile and continued.

“everyone. This is your cell phone.”

The audience doubted their ears.

“what? You mean that’s a cell phone?”

“Where do you mean dial the number? It’s all just a display, right?”

According to their common sense, cell phones should have buttons to dial numbers.

Folder phones have been trending lately, and slider phones have just begun to be released. What on earth is that?

“I think it is natural to be upset. Because this phone looks completely different from what you’re used to seeing. Now, let me properly introduce myself. This mobile phone is not just a mobile phone… It’s a smartphone!”

As soon as Hoyoung finished speaking, a video prepared on the screen started.

The video wasn’t really anything special.

Starting with someone making a phone call, sending a text message using a touch panel, and then making a video call.

This was not the end.

Using a smartphone to play games, listen to music, surf the web, and even watch videos.

All actions that can be performed with a smartphone are captured in a short video.

The video ended, but the audience couldn’t easily react.

Not because the video they saw was bad, but because they couldn’t believe it.

“everyone. Have you ever heard of Wi-Fi?”

The people who came to their senses at Hoyoung’s question nodded.

Most of these people here are early adopters, so many people understand the term Wi-Fi.

“Smartphones can access the Internet using Wi-Fi. You can enjoy unlimited internet anytime, anywhere where Wi-Fi is available. It’s like a laptop.”

This time, it was an explosive reaction different from the previous one.

“no! does that make sense? Then, if you use a smartphone, from then on, you don’t have to pay expensive data charges to the telecommunications company, right?”

“Isn’t optical LAN becoming popular lately? If it’s a broadband Wi-Fi, the speed won’t even match!”

Hoyoung let them react freely for a while.

Then, when the reaction faded a little bit, Hoyoung actually demonstrated sending a message using capacitive touch, and now it was time to introduce the main software.

“The first thing I would like to introduce is the operating system used in smartphones. I like this operating system… We named it Gaia OS.”

Gaia OS.

The name of the operating system for smartphones that Hoyoung had produced in his previous life resonated here once again.

Of course, due to hardware limitations, it was not possible to show the same performance as in the previous life, but it was clear that it was an operating system that could not come out in the present era.

“Your smartphone will become a game console in your hand. I don’t know where you are, but I’m sorry to Shigeru Miyamoto, who made the PSP in partnership with me. haha.”

As Hoyoung said in a joking tone, the camera focused on Shigeru Miyamoto, who was sitting in the VIP seat.

Shigeru was smiling heartily.

But the audience saw others in the camera trying to mirror Shigeru.

“Oh no! We didn’t even know there were a lot of people here!!”

“Isn’t that guy sitting to Shigeru’s left Steve Jobs of Apple? The man on the right is John Carr Mack of id Software!”

“Bill, it’s Bill Gates! Bill Gates is on the far right of the VIP table!”

“Oh My God. Is it really real that I am seeing all these people in one place?”

In addition to the people mentioned by the audience, there were also Lisa Su and Jensen Hwang, and now retired Qualcomm’s Irwin and his son, as well as most of the people Hoyoung had made connections with so far.

In the first place, Hoyoung invited them all.

It was because of his wish that people who would lead the IT industry in the future would come directly to the place where he would introduce the smartphone, a thing that could change the world.

“And it has a 2.5-megapixel camera. In the future, instead of carrying a camera, people will be able to take pictures anytime, anywhere with their mobile phone.”

At Hoyoung’s words, people went wild again.

And Hoyoung spat out another remark that would make them go wild.

“How can I get the most out of this smartphone? It’s an application, and from now on, I’ll just take the first letter and call it an app. It’s about using the app. A smartphone is a computer. The app is a program. It will be convenient if you think like this.”

Hoyoung opened the screen of the App Store.

“Currently, there are about 80 programs registered in the App Store. From applications with simple calculators and memo functions to various games. There are also apps that do metronums or recordings. The 80 apps on the App Store right now are… All for free!”

Come to Hoyoung’s words!! The shouts rang so loud that the venue shook.

These were the reasons why Hoyoung had been confined to his studio for over a year.

With the help of Gaia for the graphics-related part, Hoyoung immersed himself in coding, and as a result, he was able to initially create more than 80 apps in one year.

“Yoon Ho-young! Hoyoung Yun! Yoon Ho-young!”

The audience called out Hoyoung’s name like fanatics.

Looking at them, Ho-young felt that the path he had taken so far was not wrong, and that the path he would take in the future would not be wrong either.

“Among the apps I made, there are apps that can read e-books. If you have a smartphone, it’s like carrying thousands or tens of thousands of books. Of course, this app is also free.”

People were screaming as if they were having a contest to see who could scream louder.

“haha. Of course, you know that you have to pay for e-book content, right? If this is your complaint, you should talk to Jeff Bezos, the president of Amazon over there. I’m just providing an app that connects Amazon with you.”

At Hoyoung’s joke, the audience laughed in unison.

“Amazon recently started not only e-book business, but also internet shopping. And that I’m providing an app that connects you to Amazon…”

“Is it possible to shop online with a smartphone now?!”

A loud-voiced member of the audience interrupted Hoyoung’s words and continued.

Hoyoung smiled and replied that he was right, and it was only natural that the venue once again became a sea of laughter.

“Okay, that’s it for now. I know you all have a lot of questions and a lot of questions. We are very grateful to the ECEC organizers for making the entire Hall A available for us. That is why the door to Building A had not been opened until now. ruler. As of this time, Building A is open. I hope you all feel and enjoy your smartphone. So far. It was Yun Ho-young. Thank you so much for listening.”

Hoyoung nodded to the audience and walked off the stage.

Usually, the audience runs to the booth after the stage ends.

I want to experience new products as soon as possible even for a second.

However, I couldn’t even think of moving all the audience here now.

It meant that Hoyoung’s announcement, the smartphone, gave a huge shock.

behind the scenes.

Hoyeong looked at the audience with satisfaction and sat down.

“President! Are you okay?”

“Oh, Miru. Why are you so lost? haha. It’s not like I’ve tried it once or twice. Did my presentation go well?”

“It was perfect. It was absolutely perfect.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was so moved.

“haha. Why are you crying?”

“I don’t know either. However, one thing is certain.”

“What?”

“Perhaps, our human history will definitely remember this day. It was the day the president first announced the smartphone.”

Hearing that, Hoyoung laughed heartily.

To decorate a page of history.

Could there be a greater honor than that of man?

“The manager also worked hard. I would never have been able to come this far without you.”

“What have I done?”

Hoyeong felt that something had been sorted out.

At this spot where Kronos was announced 10 years ago.

12 years ago, in America, where I first met Miru.

And in front of the many precious relationships he has passed through so far, who are waiting for him in the VIP seat.

The week after the announcement of the smartphone made the whole world buzz.

Hoyoung surprised the world once again.

In an interview with the New York Times right before leaving the US with Sumin and returning to Korea…

He announced his sudden retirement.
