Cho Min-woo, as well as Sonic Blue, was not finished after the deal.

He had to meet other Japanese or European buyers who had unexpectedly traded in an existing product.

The surprising thing was their reaction.

I would like to negotiate further regarding the battery side.

Absolutely not.

He dismissed their offer like this, but he felt something was off.

‘Strange. Why are these people so interested in batteries? ’

At first, a question.

But guessing was simpler than I thought.

I could tell from the opinions of other team leaders, not myself.

“Maybe it's because they have some insight into the performance of batteries. Maybe we found out through our analysis of SlimNSX products that we're sending them now. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Just like Sony right now, I'm trying to turn on the lights and analyze our products. Although Japan is now going into a swamp of long-term recession, Sony is Sony. If they were wrong, would their Sonic company have copied it by hearing the name of Copy Cat? Obviously, the prototype that we've sent you is already under review. ”

“That's a problem. ”

* * *

Even Cho Min-woo answered briefly, but his heart was a little different. He immediately realized the seriousness of the raincomb situation.

I didn't think it was a copy cat. I thought I would do the analysis, but I ignored that I could make it the same.

He eventually had to worry about if he copied the magic application blocks he had created.

It was the same way Sonic Blue researchers did.

The result was much simpler than I thought.

‘This M-band block circuit diagram is problematic. I mean, you could just cut it out, right? Still, M-batteries can be a little tricky. The internal analysis won't work. If you're going to make it, it's going to be hard to have Mana around, but there's no concept of that. ’

Once I noticed Mana's limitations, I had to think about the copied cases.

If it copied the same, there was honestly no way. Then, it is fundamentally the same performance as SlimNSX.

However, there was also a problem in this case.

It was M-batteries. The mobile dragon had to be copied as is due to the physical limitations called power consumption, which would otherwise be impossible to apply.

It didn't just apply to CDPlayer.

Applied to all products, including other laptops

But there was a problem here. It can be changed to mobile without using battery at all.

He eventually made some changes and ran some tests. But he realized one thing later through it and laughed in relief.

‘This circuit only applies to this instrument shape, just this size. If you change the size a little bit, it won't work. ’

It was really amazing.

Just by slightly changing the size or shape, the flow of Mana is a problem.

It immediately affects the speaker quality, and then a sound breakage occurs.

Here was another additional phenomenon.

When Mana's output increases, he is not forced to exit the narrow passageway, but to exit together through other surrounding holes.

Surprisingly, the more Mana leaks out from the surrounding area, the more the sound quality deteriorates strangely, so the Mana effect is not that great.

"This is really tricky, isn't it? ’

The more I ran the test, the more I could feel how lucky I was to make it with my fist style.

It was because there was no fundamental study of Mana Flow and its effects.

"Hmm, should I say this is lucky? So this is how we're going to make the next product look like a fist bump, right? ’

It was difficult on the one hand, but I also thought that it worked well on the other.

He realized that the results he thought could be cut simply were not that easy.

Through this experiment, Cho Min-woo also learned that it is not simply a linear control between the Mana generator and the part where it is applied.

This also included nonlinear properties.

In order to correct this, he had to be able to feel the flow of Mana. It meant that the tuning of this product was difficult unless you were the same person.

‘This is more trouble than I thought. After all, this product has its limitations, but doesn't that apply to our company as well? So you're saying I have to review each one at the end. ’

But on the one hand, I was relieved.

Furthermore, this made me realize one more interesting fact.

‘Eventually, as our raincomb progresses, there will be a lot of new technologies in other parts. But that's fundamentally what competitors can do. But there are limits to this Mana application. If we compromise that part, we'll be able to monopolize it for a while. At this rate, we won't have to worry about other companies. ’

* * *

Cho Min-woo, as well as the copy cat problem, was relieved to some extent, but it was no longer hard to believe about Sonic Blue. They have a contract for the right price.

He eventually decided it was best to be prepared for the situation.

‘I don't know what tricks they'll use anymore. We should make an alternative first. ’

Immediately after convening the meeting, I told the other team leaders about this.

“....... I'm watching. So this model only goes with Sonic Blue. In fact, right now, it's too risky to change the plot. But we can't keep doing that. Is there a good alternative here? ”

Chief Yang also quietly listened and immediately expressed his support.

“I totally agree with you on that one. What we're doing in Sonic Blue right now is a little bit different than it used to be. I think it drives the appetite as sales continue to increase and profits grow. ”

Choi Myung Seok, Sales Manager, was also not standing still. He is already confident in the quality of raincomb products and has experience with existing panoes, particularly as he travels around the world.

“Actually, I'm a little ahead of my game right now. Because the value of our brand is not yet so great. But that's why I think it makes more sense. ”

Cho Min-woo tilted his head.

“What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

“Ultimately, there are limits to the OEM method. And I think that's what's happening right now, Sonic Blue. So I think we should continue to work on building our brand. Advertising is also a good example. ”

“I think we should move forward in that direction. Do you have any other comments? ”

“What if you have a different opinion? ”

“Oh, it's simple. We need to think about the case that we completely broke up with Sonic Blue right now. Of course, other Europe and China are selling the same thing, but that's going to be a problem. ”

“You mean Pando. ”

“Something like that. ”

“Are you suggesting that we set up offices in the United States and other Europe, Japan and China as well? ”

Jo Min-woo nods.

“Wouldn't that be right? Currently, SlimNSX's product reaction is not that problematic. It's a little difficult, but I think it's desirable. You already have some experience with your existing sales teams, right? ”

“That's ……"

Choi Myeong-seok, Sales Manager, couldn't just rush into it. Establishing a foreign corporation is more costly than I thought.

There were many indirect costs, including the corporate workforce, that were not easy to ignore.

It was just like a hippopotamus that ate money.

According to his own experience, this structure had to be somewhat adapted to the level of the floodgates that were made overseas.

But the Raincomb Sales Department is not ready for that.

‘It's a workforce problem.......’

He was also not very subtle.

“If you don't have enough people, why not choose one of your existing new employees? You can tell how loyal they are just by looking at their profile. ”

“That's right. ”

A simple answer.

But it was never light.

In fact, the new employee who was working at the Raincomb factory was literally pooping blood.

No matter how much money they were paid, they deserved to be highly rated just by continuing to do things the future couldn't see.

But if there is a problem.......

‘Take care of them. Bringing friends who have no experience in overseas sales to the world and shoveling on the bare ground.......’

To be honest, I was not very keen on being a manager.

However, Cho Min-woo thought differently. He had already pledged to give them an opportunity anyway, so he wanted to give them the opportunity to build their own careers through foreign corporations like today.

“I want them to do what they need to do for a new adventure. If you do that, other employees will think a lot about the company, about themselves. I think that means employee growth, and I think it will go even further to help us develop Raincomb. ”

However, it was a difficult opinion for other companies.

They are too inexperienced.

Chief Yang listens quietly and finally leaves.

“Well, I feel a little premature for me, but in a way, I think this is the best time. What's more, the new product reaction has already been confirmed domestically, and even now, the initial production alone is already ready for the 200,000. All you have to do now is run. And of course, founding a local American corporation would cost a little bit of money, but in the case of Sonic Blue, I know that now is the best way to run. In that sense, I don't think Ms. Grant's opinion is bad either. ”

Cho Min-woo nodded, listening quietly.

He certainly did not jump to any conclusions.

I waited to hear from the other team leaders.

Of course, as soon as he noticed, he opened his mouth.

“I agree with you, too. Right now, I think it's best to build our own panoramas while building our forward bases overseas. ”

“In that regard, our development team will also do our best. because in a way, it could be an opportunity, a crisis. Now I think if something goes wrong, it could be a huge loss to our raincomb. ”

It was this atmosphere.

He nods, satisfied.

“Mr. Choi Myeong-seok, I want you to start by figuring out how many people you need in relation to the U.S. corporation. Of course, that standard would be a sincere gesture, if possible? And be on your way soon. ”

“I understand.”

Han Dae Woo did not follow the best work because he wanted to. He also knew that Choi was the son of the middle-class president, so he set it right.

Since there are limits to growing up here in Raincomb, I'd rather be with Choi Seong-il. Even if they were cut here, they thought there was a way.

This was not the case.

Some people were similar too.

They were somewhat anxious, but not so scared.

Although the union building is still new and I can't go there, I was snooping around in the break room, but my colleagues who work in the factory were laughing at me like ants.

“I don't know what the hell that is. Completely enslaved. ”

“I know. I regretted it at first, but I don't think that's it. ”

“Did you know that you worked until 4: 00 a.m. yesterday to get the right amount of candles for America? President Jo Min-woo must have really taken it this time. ”

“Phew, it's horrible just thinking about it. If I think about it, I'm going to call the police. This isn't some third refugee country, is it? ”

The best day, of course, I nodded after being satisfied with the way they looked. He was also somewhat anxious about Jo Min-woo's extreme attitude, but now he changed his mind.

Though he came to Raincomb to gain experience, I felt that was not the case.

‘But you can't see it as such as bad behavior as a manager. In a way, it's in the company's best interest to do that. ’

He laughed at the coroner while thinking of treachery.

Notices were posted on the billboards inside the company when they were wandering around the factory for a long time.

Choi Myeong-seok Sales Manager

“....... ”

Choi Seong Il's party reads the announcement briefly and is shocked to lose her speech. I didn't get much in my head about what I meant.

It was unknown from the start that it was an American corporation.

I had no reason to re-establish a foreign corporation in Raincomb.

“Hey, hey, what's that supposed to mean? ”

“Well, I'm good at that too….. Hey Seong-il, don't you have any guesses? ”

“....... ”

I couldn't answer the best of course. Unlike other people, he was the only son of a medium-sized company, so he had some insight.

Establishing a legal entity in that way meant one thing.

‘Raincomb is finally going to sell overseas as its brand. ’

I couldn't believe it. Now, just three years after the company was founded, what kind of American corporation is it going to be?

What was even more surprising was the number.

At this time, it was 35 people.

I could never take that number lightly. In the United States, the overhead costs of eating, sleeping, and spending were roughly 7 billion.

‘No matter how good the company is, we can't do it that way. What the hell are you up to? ’

No matter how he turned his head, he couldn't understand Min-woo's thoughts at all.

Well, there's only research left.

Almost done with the twist.

Now, the story goes on.

Batteries are rechargeable.

And by the way, I've solved some new challenges.

The monopoly!
