The Youngest Son of Sunyang

With a cup of coffee in front of her, Rachel looked carefully at my face.

I looked around the office, avoiding her eyes. As the head of the U.S. corporation and the head of Miracle's biggest money, Luxury was at its peak.

I don't like it, but I have decided to acknowledge and accept the culture here. It is also ambiguous how far the palace boundary between savings and palace is.

“Howard, be honest. Why did you come to America? ”

“You see, I've come to warn you of excessive optimism for dotcom companies. ”

“Is that really all? ”

She watches me with the eye of the hawk so I don't miss what I'm doing, but now she's a little persistent. Is there another reason?

“I think you have something to say, what is it? Tell me honestly.”

At the twinkling of an eye, she smiles faintly.

“Here, here. I can't stand it. Haha. ”

“Is this an offer or a request? Or are you asking?”

“An offer.”

“Speak comfortably. ”

“Shall we go to LA? ”

I flinched this time.

How did you know I was going to California?

“What, are you in LA, too? ”

“Something like that. No. I was thinking about San Francisco. ”

“San Francisco? Where? ”

“Stanford University.”

“Good college. ”

Rachel nods. I clearly mistook myself for studying abroad.

“It's a great school for business geniuses like you. ”

A place where young billionaires who are about to be lined up are taking a break and preparing to start a business.

Founders such as GAP, Nike, Victoria Secret, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, Dolby and Sun Microsystems.

How am I supposed to study here? I want to meet the people who are thinking about taking a break from school.

I'm more curious about LA.

“But what about LA? Because of the movie?”

“Yes, I have a premiere of Private Ryan's rescue next month. We're always invited. You've invested in every movie since Dreamworks was founded, just like you said. It's almost like a partnership. ”

“I just don't feel like it. ”

I'm bored.

How many times have I seen it in a movie theater at the time of its release, and since then it's been playing when there's been a gap on TV? Seen it more than 20 times

Rachel shakes her head with a slight smile.

“I've sent a signal from Dreamworks. ”

“Signal?”

“Yes. When we know that Miracle's money is in Korea, why don't we place a bet on the Asian distribution? ”

“Do you want to invest? ”

“Exactly. ”

In 1994, Steven Spielberg, Geoffrey Cashenberg and David Geffen had ample opportunity to create the Dreamworks, but did not show interest.

Movies exist in separate forms anyway. In my case, I can only invest in films that make money, there is no reason to spend money on filmmaking companies.

Spielberg doesn't always make a home run.

But things are different now.

Asian distribution rights are a big weapon for my father. The price of being a partner in Dreamworks can be a dinosaur in the Korean movie edition.

Sounds like a pretty good gift.

“What's wrong with the terms? ”

“The first proposition is that Dreamworks starts with a billion dollars, and then gives away 25% of its shares and Asian distribution rights for 500 million dollars. ”

“Did you answer? ”

“No, positive review. That's all I did. ”

Negotiation means that it has not begun. If Miracle is interested, the Dreamworks will also review and begin to question. It is obvious that we want to see if we have the ability to operate the distribution of Asia smoothly and effectively.

“There's a price on Spielberg's name... There can be no Asian companies that have negotiated so far. ”

“Many. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong. Even China."

Rachel smiles lightly.

“The other thing Dreamworks wants is communication. ”

The reason she was able to understand what she was trying to say faster was because she didn't use the word "conversation."

“They said," Cost instead of manufacturing costs. "They said," Cost, efficiency, business rationalization. ”

“Yes, that's it. I was bored. I thought I was gonna die. ”

She claps her hands together and laughs again.

“Spending useless money on leading actors and throwing parties every day seems to be an inefficient waste to them. You don't know the basics of entertainment. It's not easy to understand that the bottom people get energy by sticking to their instincts. ”

I nod, and she blinks.

“What do you think? Interested? ”

“I'm not interested, but there are people who are going to be drooling profoundly. ”

“Who?”

“He's my father. ”

“Ah…! You're a filmmaker, right?”

“Yes. Here's the deal. I accept the first offer of Dreamworks. I'm not the one sitting at the negotiating table. I'm the father. If you say that your father is not interested or confident in distributing Asia, I will do nothing. ”

“Okay, let's schedule a meeting. ”

Rachel immediately took her cell phone out and started talking somewhere, and I called my dad and told him to fly to LA right away.

My father seemed more excited just to meet the Masters than the Dreamworks.

When we were both done on the phone, I asked Rachel to do this in confidence.

“This is the first time my family has been together in a foreign country. Can you prepare for an unforgettable memory? It doesn't matter what it costs.”

She smiles brightly.

“Are you sure you don't care about the cost? ”

Suddenly, I was scared.

* * *

When we arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport, two men in uniform chariots with apparent chauffeurs were waiting for us.

They lead us to the Phantom Rolls-Royce limousine, which was waiting outside the gate, and they also open the door.

I was a little surprised, but Sang-jun and his brother couldn't keep their mouths shut.

“This is a hotel service. Don't be too surprised, we can use it at any time while we're here. ”

Rachel's explanation was even more surprising.

How many rooms do you think this service is free of charge?

When my mother and brother rode in the same car and Rachel and I took one, I asked urgently.

“Rachel, where's the hotel? I'm sure the suite is clear. How much does it cost? ”

“$16,000. ”

“Th... Sixteen thousand? No way...? ”

“That's right. One night's price. Hoho.”

Damn it.

I shouldn't be surprised. It's too late.

Nam Nam is the 3rd year of the reign and is the best asset in the 20s of Korea. This kind of luxury is like everyday life for my family.

I guess I was a little surprised. Rachel also quickly opens her mouth to prevent misunderstandings.

“I'm trying not to be surprised because it's my first time, too. I've never spent more than $500 on an accommodation. ”

The surprise should be over by now, but I can't stop because I've already tapped the calculator in my head.

I've got three rooms. That's $48,000 a night. Though his mouth is dry and his legs are swollen, Rolls-Royce runs smoothly into downtown LA. Like there's no turning back.

The Ritz-Carlton Presidential Suite features two bedrooms, a private study, a private kitchen, and a rooftop infinity pool with views of Los Angeles' night view. Luxurious steam saunas are the basis.

In addition, he provided personal butlers, trainers, therapists, wine cellars, private fitness centers and helicopter services.

The pouty, mouth-watering luxury caused me to forget the enormous cost for a moment.

Late that night, my father's reaction was not very different.

I was surprised to just flick my thumb at me.

“My son is making me feel like I'm on a luxury honeymoon. You will not look for us 24 hours from now. ”

He wrapped his arms around Mother's waist and threw them into the room.

“How much did you make? ”

When my brother using the same room asked with a surprised face, I opened the bedroom door and replied.

“I'm going bankrupt this time. ”

* * *

For the first two days, I forgot everything and had a good time with my family. Sang-jun's older brother sometimes talked deeply with his father and expressed his concerns about the future.

After attending the premiere of "Rescue Private Ryan," Rachel confirmed the three masters of Dreamworks and a specific meeting schedule.

“Are you sure you're okay? ”

“I would never do anything to hurt you. Don't worry about the money and decide if it doesn't help the plan I told you about. ”

“Rachel talked to me. A deal that costs 500 million dollars... I doubt it's worth it. ”

“Don't turn dreams into money. If money can buy it, it can't be a dream. Money is just a tool for achieving your dreams. Tools are supposed to be used and thrown away. Spend some money. Haha. ”

My father was speechless for a while, but he only looked at me and opened his mouth.

“I thought I was the son of a ruthless tycoon, but the father of a wise tycoon's son. ”

I headed to Stanford thanks to my shy, chicken-haired father.

I got back on the plane from LA to San Francisco.

The combined companies of entrepreneurs emitted from this university and those to be emitted are higher economic power than one country called Korea.

Usually close to Silicon Valley, Stanford graduates or dropouts run to Silicon Valley, but vice versa.

As the university actively supported the founding of graduates, a venture boom arose, and as they gathered to prepare and set up their company, Silicon Valley began to form around the school.

As soon as I got to Stanford, the first place I ran was the library.

We need to start tracking from here.

I started searching for papers while looking at the library index. It should be a recent paper and about the algorithm.

Honestly, I thought it would be easy to find.

But in the last three years, over 10,000 papers have been published on the topic of algorithms.

It was a very revealing result of the interest of American university students.

Instead of relying on the correct memory, we need to extract a blurry memory that is deep asleep in the brain.

What would a memorable name like the founder of Yahoo, Jerry Yang? I kept going through the papers complaining.

How many hours has it been?

A rather long article was found titled "The Anatomy of a Large ― Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine."

The word "Web Search Engine" came to mind first, followed by the author of the paper Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page. Computer Science Department...

Dammit, I can't live with myself because I have so many memories.

Are these the guys?

I can't help it. I should read it carefully and get a hint.

I was blinded to read an article about engineering that must have been overwhelmed with specialized terminology, but when I read the first line, I lived in ignorance.

The librarian glanced at me with his finger on his lips, but I didn't mind.

Gratitude.

They wrote the words I was looking for in the abstract of the paper.

Hello, Google!
