chapter 2
{ BH Real Korea }
A black car is approaching the facility, where a high wall that looks more than 5m is blocking all directions.
“stop!”
Even at first glance, it has a strict atmosphere that is different from general security companies.
A security guard, dressed and geared close to a Geojin Special Forces member, stopped an oncoming car in front of me.
There are three in the car.
The driver, and one Western man and one Asian man in the back seat.
“Robert, Business General Manager of BH Real Korea.”
When the security guards confirmed the driver’s identity, a familiar Western man sitting in the back lowered the window and held up his employee ID card and said:
And the Asian man sitting next to him also showed his employee ID to the front.
“Is this your first face?”
A Western man who named Robert in response to a security officer’s question says:
“This is the newly hired IT manager. There’s a problem with the server room, so I’m on the way to hurry up. Would you have contacted me in advance?”
However, the security guard nodded as if he was right, but didn’t seem to want to let him go.
Robert frowned as if dissatisfied with his behavior, but made no objection.
It was not difficult to feel how strict the security of this facility was.
The security guard, who took the employee ID card from the hand of the Asian man, looked closely at his face and asked.
“The name… Seo Woo-min?”
The Asian man nodded his head to answer the question.
“yes.”
But as if asking for his answer wasn’t all, the security guard waits for a moment.
He seemed to be checking whether the information was really correct through the headset.
“trunk!”
seems to have been confirmed
He stepped back, giving instructions in a strict voice.
And only after he disappeared behind his sight, the oriental man properly looked in front of his sight.
An unusual appearance that can’t be looked inside at all.
And that much strict security was spread out at the entrance.
In addition to the side guard posts, there is one more booth-type guard post at the front.
And inside, I could see an armed guard watching this way.
And in front of it, a sliding gate, a tire killer, and a hydraulic bollard, and a road blocker.
A tire killer is a device that spreads a sharp blade upwards on the road and explodes the tire when a vehicle tries to break in.
And bollards are used to block the passage of vehicles by erecting cylinders on the road.
Of course, in the ordinary case, it would have been difficult to think of these as such a special security system alone.
However, unlike ordinary bollards that are usually placed on a hole on the road and inserted, the bollard seen in front of it is hydraulic, which rises from the ground, and its thick thickness is not unusual.
‘Even those alone wouldn’t even be able to pass any vehicle… ‘
However, there is even a road blocker installed there.
A road blocker is a device that lifts a certain section of the road forward, clearing the road, and creating a barrier at the same time.
In fact, it is a security system that is difficult for ordinary people to even take a look at even once in their lifetime.
Special security equipment that could be seen in any movie, that would be considered in a major government agency or a key military facility, was casually installed layer by layer here.
After the security personnel inspected the trunk, they focused on the upper part of the vehicle.
However, seeing that he did not check the underside of the vehicle with the undercarriage, the Dongyang man recognized that the undercarriage was being searched automatically.
‘This must be UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System).’
It was absurd that those who care so closely about security do not need to check the underside of the vehicle.
The oriental man gently swallowed the saliva.
This is not just a strict security level, but the highest level of anti-terrorism security.
‘What the hell are you doing here? ?’
“Pass!”
In response to the loud voice of the security guard, the security equipment that had occupied the road hides under the ground.
The car started moving at the signal, and as the Asian man passed the security guard, he swung his bow to greet him.
Leaving behind the growing anticipation and the corresponding sense of crisis. Dongyang man, Yang Kwang, entered the facility of BH Real Korea.
With the name ‘Seo Woo-min’ written on the employee ID.
* * *
Seo Woo-min, a new employee who joined BH Real Korea as a career recruiter, is in charge of IT.
His duties and roles are basically not very large.
This is because all major IT tasks are handled directly by the IT team at BH Real’s headquarters in the United States.
Moreover, the facilities installed in the Korean branch also came directly from the head office IT team, set up everything, stayed there for a while, and then returned after stabilization.
Even the person in charge from the IT team at the headquarters hired Seo Woo-min just before he left, and he left after just two days of taking over.
Even for those two days, it was possible because there was nothing to say about the takeover, not because the schedule was urgent.
In fact, that was enough because his job was just about maintaining the installed IT facilities and supporting the work of the employees of the Korean branch.
Moreover, the takeover actually paid much more attention to ‘restrictions not to do’ than to ‘what to do’.
However, it has been more than ten days since Seo Woo-min started working in IT alone.
Suddenly, Robert, the general manager of the business management department, ordered him on an emergency business trip.
It seems that there was a problem with the server room facilities at the facility in Korea, and it was said that we had to go urgently.
To his words that the headquarters IT team is urgently coming, but possible measures must be taken before that, Seo Woo-min followed him without saying a word, saying that he would know.
And Robert, who was walking ahead at a fast pace, could not notice the faint smile of Seo Woo-min following him.

BH.
The name that has now become the world’s number one pharmaceutical company.
Despite its short history, it is a preeminent company that has risen to the top at once by defeating leading global conglomerates in the pharmaceutical industry with high entry barriers.
And the owner of this company is not lacking enough to be called the world’s best celebrity.
Bruce Hendrick.
Fifteen years ago, when he founded this pharmaceutical company, he was already a celebrity.
He was the man who established many businesses and successfully exited, and gained enormous wealth and honor.
The experiences and insights he gained through such great successes, as well as his fame and connections, were truly amazing.
Then, when he established BH and announced his entry into the pharmaceutical industry, not only the pharmaceutical industry, but also the entire business industry were in a state of excitement.
A businessman who has never failed.
A pioneer with an eye for the future.
However, it was because it was the restriction that he selected as his next business.
Who doesn’t know that the pharmaceutical business is big money.
But the barriers to entry are just too high.
So, will he be able to achieve the same success this time as before?
Or will you experience a catastrophic failure for the first time in your life in this pharmaceutical field, where the barriers to entry are too high?
Isn’t that really interesting?
The name of the company BH was born against such a background.
Bruce Hendrick with no experience in restrictions, but his name is enough to lower those barriers to entry.
‘Hmm… .’
Yang Kwang thought as he turned off the terminal screen.
The contents of BH flow through my mind like water.
‘A strategy to focus only on R&D for 15 years, and the successive launch of products that far surpass competitors.’
‘A powerful epidemic that has spread all over the world when it is struggling with all-round organizational pressure from large global pharmaceutical companies. And at that time, when it seemed that the end of mankind was approaching, the name that resounded in the world, BH.’
The success story of Bruce Hendrick and BH was truly mythical.
With the success of the development and mass production of a treatment for infectious diseases, BH quickly rose to the position of the world’s best company, and as the largest shareholder of the company, he climbed to the top of the world’s wealthiest man.
The fact that such Bruce Hendrick took up the game industry as his next promising business was a widespread story that even those who were not very versed in the story of the world knew.
BH Real, who took charge of BH’s game business.
As a result, public interest in him was high.
But there really wasn’t any news.
Occasionally, the stories that leak out are mostly false information from unknown sources.
That was proof that BH Real was paying special attention to information security.
‘How the hell did you hide something so precious?’
What does it mean to have a lot of interest but no relevant information?
That is, it is highly rarity.
In other words, it means big money.
Since the public is so thirsty for the news, it was obvious that they could make quite a bit of money if they could extract even a little bit of information.
Yang Kwang was known only by those who knew him, but he was a top-notch hacker that everyone who knew him recognized.
So, when he first began to take an interest in BH, he started with a relaxed mind that if he was determined and rushed in, he would soon.
However, it was unexpectedly difficult to attack BH and BH Real like an impregnable fortress.
True to its name, BH’s firewall system was never easily penetrated.
But in the meantime, he learned something new.
The fact that BH Real has a branch in Korea.
Although it had been quite some time since the BH investigation, it was quite late when Yang Yang Kwang found out that BH Real Korea had been established.
Even he was very interested in BH Real, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that few people in the general public knew.
That’s what stimulated Yang’s curiosity.
Isn’t it strange?
If there is no activity, why do you need a branch?
It was clear that there must be some trace.
However, he could not find any news or detailed information about BH Real Korea, so he tried to hack the Korean branch, but it was difficult here as well as the BH Real headquarters.
‘What did you hide?’
At this point, it was Yang Gwang who started the ogi.
he judged
You need access from the inside to break through this firewall.
In other words, it is almost impossible to penetrate from the outside with relatively inferior equipment.
Although I have earned a lot of money from hacking while working on this floor and have the same good equipment, it is of course inferior to the equipment of such a world-class company.
And there was something more important than that.
His motto was to make sure the other person didn’t even know they had lost theirs.
Because that is the beauty of stealing intangible assets.
If a tangible thing is lost, it becomes visible immediately, but an intangible thing can only be copied.
Although the number will increase, the original owner should not lose much, so that there is no great motivation to pursue him.
Even if it was unreasonable to try to break through the firewall, nothing would be impossible.
That meant that nobody could do it without anyone knowing, and that was against his principles.
So it’s unreasonable to pierce from the outside.
But how can you seek the help of an insider?
Even if you go into SNS that manages your personal career, it was difficult to find all the related information of BH Real Korea.
With so many doors locked inside and outside the company, how do you know who the employees are?
No matter what you try, you need to know who the insider is to do something or not.
At that time, Yang Gwang was searching for a strategy in a difficult situation where there were no particularly sharp numbers. At the same time, an announcement was made that BH Real Korea would be hiring an IT manager.
From Yang Gwang’s point of view, I wonder what kind of rice cake this is.
Thanks to his extensive IT knowledge and decent English skills, it didn’t take long for the job interview to be confirmed after the interview.
In the beginning, it was a resume that was customized according to the job advertisement.
It was natural to stand out, and even if that wasn’t the case, the career of an IT manager required by BH was comparable to Yang Kwang’s practical skills.
So, passing the interview was not that difficult.
‘By the way, what kind of reputation check service company… ‘
BH Real Korea’s Human Resources Department entrusted a contract with a specialized company to check the identity and reputation of recruited candidates.
However, what the person in charge of the specialized company did was only speculative.
‘Ask for the contact point directly to the person who is inquiring about their reputation to know who to check their reputation for?’
The person in charge said that good things are good for each other, and the person in charge meant to go easily, but if the human resources department at BH Real Korea knew the truth, it was a shocking situation.
‘Thanks to you, I was able to come in more easily.’
A company that conducts a reputation check like that is unlikely to discover its own document tampering.
Even though BH had established strong security, an unexpected loophole was created out of absurdity.
‘Well, this is the beauty of this hack.’
No matter how perfect a system is built, loopholes are exposed in the people who deal with it.
After joining the company so smoothly, when the head office IT manager informed me of the restrictions that should not be done during the takeover, Yang Kwang innocently nodded his head, but he was convinced in his heart.
Something is definitely approaching a great secret.
