chapter 32
Angry Cheolwoo Lee (5)
“Good suggestion? I don’t know what it is, but if you’re going to talk nonsense, go back. You know, I’m too busy with my company.”
Jeong Ho-nam frowned and said.
I understood that mind.
In a company where you work fine, you are suddenly branded as a traitor and even sued. Who can be sane?
“It has something to do with it.”
“Hmm… Let’s hear it.”
“Isn’t it you, Honam Jeong, who leaked the C* algorithm?”
Hearing those words, Jeong Ho-nam’s frowned face straightened a little.
“…… Yes. That’s right. No matter how much I tell you, people don’t believe me. Do you believe me? That it’s not me?”
Of course, that’s what I did.
“Yes. I trust you. I heard that your usual conduct is right.”
“Are you trusting me just because of that?”
“I also tried to abide by copyright.”
“……. It’s a matter of course. Chinese people don’t have a sense of copyright. Even if I tried alone, nothing changed.”
“So I’m here to help. In many ways.”
Jeong Ho-nam thought for a moment, then opened his mouth again.
“How do you mean help? As you know, my enemy is Ditisa. Are you saying that you know that?”
“Yes. I will help you. I have a plan.”
“Let’s listen. The plan.”
“First, let me confirm. What do you think of Ditisa?”
“……. I think they are trash.
it would be unfair You will want to take revenge.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I want to tear it to pieces. So that there is not a speck of dust left on this earth.”
“We will make that dream come true.”
“……. What are you talking about from earlier? How are you going to realize that?”
“What made Ditissa work so well?”
“Probably because of the C* algorithm. Maybe not now.”
“Would you believe me if I told you that a better algorithm was developed?”
“Yes? A better algorithm than that? That’s nonsense. Do you know what the C* algorithm is? It’s a technology that came after several years of brainstorming by PhDs in computer science at Peking University in China. A better algorithm than that. cannot be developed.”
Jeong Ho-nam said confidently.
“No.”
I said confidently.
A path-finding algorithm I recently developed could, if used well, keep Ditisa from leaving a speck of dust on the planet.
“What nonsense are you talking about? If you’re talking nonsense, I’ll go back.”
Jeong Ho-nam kicked off his seat and stood up.
“My story isn’t over yet. Let’s just read this before you go.”
When I turned on the pathfinding algorithm test program on my laptop, Jeong Ho-nam stopped on his way and looked at my computer.
“What is this? Looks like a wayfinding program?”
“Yes. That’s right. It’s a pathfinding algorithm test program. Let’s run it right away.”
And I ran the program.
「Complexity 10,000」
「A*: 2.31s, Accuracy: 88」
「DFS: 2.83s, Accuracy: 92」
「BFS: 3.92s, Accuracy: 99」
「C*: 1.53s, Accuracy: 92」
「test: 0.93s, accuracy: 100」
The pathfinding algorithm test program produced the same results as before.
“……? What?”
Jeong Ho-nam was astonished when he saw the screen.
“Do you see? At a complexity of 10,000, the C* algorithm is 1.53s and accuracy is 92. And the test algorithm I made is 0.93s and accuracy is 100.”
“No, is this going to be crazy?”
Jeong Ho-nam continued to stare at the screen.
“Need one more run?”
Having said that, I restarted the program.
The results that came out were not different from before.
“No? How is this…? Are you saying it’s fast and has the highest accuracy?”
“Yes. That’s right. You said? You can’t come up with a better algorithm than a C* algorithm? No, you’re wrong. A better algorithm has already been developed.”
“No… no, it can’t be. It can’t be.”
Continuing to look unbelievable.
“Shall I show you one more time?”
“……. No. It’s okay. How the hell is this algorithm running? Can I look at the source for a bit?”
“No, that’s impossible. But…if you accept my offer, I’ll consider it.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was so curious without knowing it. I’m excited. What’s your suggestion?”
“We have established a paper company in a tax haven. And the CEO there will be Ho-nam Jeong.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“And Mr. Jeong Ho-nam should use this algorithm to find a competitor of DTT and make a deal. Do you have any competitor in mind?”
Jeong Ho-nam thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I’m Chen Chen. They’re making the same navigation. They say they’re doing a call taxi business this time, but they’re a little behind DTS in terms of technology. It’s also a company that has received love calls from time to time.”
“Then go to that Chenchen and trade.”
“What deal?”
“30% of Chenchensa’s shares. We are transferring it to a paper company we created. Mr. Jeong Ho-nam gives us the algorithm.”
With the Test Algorithm, my paper company eats 30% of the shares in Chenchen, a competitor of DTS.
Right now, DT is unlikely to be able to attract Series A funding thanks to the public disclosure of the C* algorithm.
And with the release of C* algorithms, many other competitors will jump in as well. In the meantime, what if Chen Chen, a competitor of DT, monopolizes an algorithm that is better than the C* algorithm?
Chen Chen will overtake DT and become the number one player in navigation in China.
“……Why do you do this to me? Is there a reason? Can’t you go and do it yourself?”
There were ample circumstances to speak of here.
“I thought Ho-nam Jeong was the right person to take on the job. Go to Chenchen, get a 30% stake, and become the executive director.”
It was meant to be an apology.
Jeong Ho-nam was in a position where he was fired from his decent job and was even facing a lawsuit because of me. I had to bail him out.
“…… Why? Are you giving me this opportunity?”
“Didn’t you say we should respect the CAK copyright?”
“Yes….. I used to have that kind of voice at the company. It didn’t work at all.”
“That’s because. He’s worked in the navigation industry for a long time. He’s a law-abiding and honest person. Do we need another reason?”
If he took this algorithm and became the executive director of Chen Chen, Ditisa would be destroyed.
He knew DTT well, and he had been involved in the navigation business for a long time, so he was actually the right person.
And another reason is that it respects copyright well.
Chen Chen, with Jeong Ho-nam as executive director, will officially use CAK, which is in line with the rise in CAK sales.
This was my plan.
If this plan is implemented properly, the effect will be enormous.
First, Jeong Ho-nam will make a splendid return as the executive director of Chen Chen with my algorithm on his back.
It was to save Jeong Ho-nam’s life.
Second, Ditisa will be destroyed by Jeong Ho-nam.
He tried to use and steal my CAK without permission, and ruined innocent Jeong Ho-nam’s life. It was a punishment for him.
Thirdly, Ho-Nam Jeong will spread the copyright culture to the Chinese people.
My CAK will sell a little better.
Lastly, I sold my algorithm at the highest price.
DT’s competitor Chen Chen will take a new leap forward with my algorithm and Jeong Ho-nam’s ability. A 30% stake in the company is probably huge.
It was a one stone plan.
“…”
Jeong Ho-nam was silent for a while.
“How do you like my proposal?”
“Why… why? Do you believe me? What if I was actually the one who leaked the C* algorithm? Aren’t you nervous that I might leak the Test algorithm? Why do you trust me?”
Why?
That I am the culprit… … . I can’t speak either.
How can you not believe the person who framed the true culprit?
“I believe. People who abide by copyright are good people.”
“……There is no reason.”
“Are you going to stamp it?”
“Of course. No, please let me take a picture. Please.”
“With this, the deal has been completed.
“I really want to do better. Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“great.”
* * *
The work proceeded in an instant.
Min-seok brilliantly created a paper company in a tax haven, and made it difficult to know who the real owner of the company was.
Then, Ho-Nam Jeong was appointed as the CEO, and the test algorithm created by Cheol-Woo was defined as C** and handed over to Ho-Nam Jeong.
Jeong Ho-nam, who had everything ready, went to Chen Chen, an economics manager at Ditisa.
“Isn’t it Mr. Jeong Ho-nam? …… You must have suffered a lot. Using unfair false accusations.”
Wang Yuan, the representative of Chen Chen, has continuously sent love calls to Jeong Ho-nam, and was a person with whom he had a small but personal relationship.
It was Jeong Ho-nam who did not succumb to any temptation.
Wang Yuan knew at least that Jeong Ho-nam would not be the culprit.
“I’m struggling a little bit.”
“We’re sorry we couldn’t help.”
“I think you can help.”
“yes?”
“Rather than help, I’d like to make a suggestion.”
“A suggestion? What?”
“I’ve developed a new pathfinding algorithm this time. It’s an upgraded version of C*. It’s a C** algorithm.”
“A C** algorithm?”
“Yes. It’s more than 1.5 times faster than the C* algorithm and more than twice as accurate.”
“An algorithm like that was developed? I can’t believe it… I heard that nothing better than a C* algorithm can come out?”
“It’ll be quicker to show you.”
Jeong Ho-nam showed the test program made by Cheol-woo to CEO Wang Yuen.
“This is possible? It can’t be. Show me one more time.”
they were amazed Because I didn’t know that a better algorithm would exist in the world than the C* algorithm.
“sure.”
Once more, Jeong Ho-nam ran the program. This time at complexity 10,000.
“Wow, that’s amazing. Even at a complexity of 10,000… performance doesn’t drop. Wow… with this algorithm.”
“Yes. It would not be a dream to exceed the CEO’s long-cherished dream of Ditisa. I want to sell it.”
“Why do you do this to us?”
He felt suspicious.
“That’s right… Of course, I thought this would be the best place to play. Ditisa and I also have a bad relationship.”
“……. What are the conditions?”
Wang Yuen seemed to agree and went into the deal right away.
“With this algorithm, there will be no problem in becoming the number one player in China’s call taxi business and navigation business in the future. You will receive investment easily. We ask for a 30% stake in the company.”
“30%?”
“Yes. I think it’s a reasonable condition. Isn’t the reason for the existence of DTT today because of the C* algorithm?
Algorithms one step higher. I think it’s worth that much.”
“……30% is too much.”
“It has to be 30%. And there is one more condition. Please put me in the executive director’s seat.”
“To the position of executive director?
“yes.”
“Even though…….”
The representative showed displeasure.
After giving 30% of the stake to Ho-nam Jeong, if some of the major shareholders are persuaded by Ho-nam Jeong, the 51% will go over.
In other words, it was a situation where he could not be vigilant even in his representative position, which meant that Ho-nam Jeong, or Cheol-woo Lee, could become the real owner of Chen Chen-sa later.
Still, the algorithm was coveted.
“What will happen if I sell this C** algorithm to another company? The CEO’s long-cherished business will never come true. And that company will become even more successful.”
“under…….”
At the current position, the leader was Jeong Ho-nam.
“25%.”
“It has to be 30%.”
“27%”
“30%”
“28%”
“Okay. Let’s do it at 28%.”
Cheol-woo did not insist on 30% unconditionally. I believed in Jeong Ho-nam and gave him some discretion.
And Jeong Ho-nam thought that 28% was appropriate.
“28%…”
“With that stake, Wang Yuan will become the number one player in China’s navigation field.”
“hahahahaha, if you’re the number one on the continent, you think you ate 28% cheaper.”
If you think about it that way, Chen Chen-sa wasn’t a bad condition either.
While Ditisa is struggling right now, Wang Yuen, the representative of Chenchensa, who thinks that they must hit the ground quickly, and Jeong Ho-nam, who wants to destroy Ditissa as soon as possible.
The two got along well and things went smoothly.
As a result, the contract was signed in just a few days.
“Let’s do well from now on. Ho-nam Jeong, executive director.”
“Thank you for taking care of me too. Representative Wang Yuen.”
They put a stamp on the contract.
It was the moment when, 10 years from now, 28% of Chen Chen’s shares, which will become the number one call taxi and navigation business in China, will go into a paper company created by Cheol-woo.
“Oh, and did you hear the news?”
“Yes? Any news?”
“A while ago, the C* algorithm leak path was identified.”
Chen Chen’s representative, Wang Yuan, was well aware of the internal affairs of D.T.A.
“……How did it get leaked?”
“It was said that Korean IP connection information was found on the TD server’s internal network, so I wonder if that’s why they are more suspicious of you. You’re Korean.”
“Yes? Korean IP connection records?”
“Yeah. Still, they said they requested an investigation to Interpol because they didn’t know if it was hacking, but they told me not to expect to catch the culprit.”
“……. okay.”
Jeong Ho-nam heard that and thought.
‘Korea? How did this happen?’
He had a terrifying thought.
