Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 359

I took the Carlos AD4 and headed to Korea University.

The self-driving electric vehicle quietly drove down the road. I sat in the driver’s seat and looked at the portal through the display on the dashboard.

Min Ha-young’s webtoon was on the main page along with the Lost Fantasy commercial. It seems to be quite popular.

Another issue related to this is that Chairman Im Jin-yong visited Seoseong SB employee whom he met at the game.

Rumors of this incident spread quickly and even went up to articles, and game sites were turned upside down.

– Wow! The jjorep in the game was the president!

– Haha, this is the real Hyeon-pi!

-This is the most absurd thing I’ve seen this year ㅡㅡ;

-This was also reported on CNN hahaha

– So, was he cut from the company?

-You’re not some idiot, would you cut an employee with something like that? We just had a good meal and parted ways.

-I heard that Jin-yong Lim asked questions about the game while he was eating. The rice was also bought by Im Jin-yong.

– Im Jin-yong is cool. The more you look at it, the more genuine it seems. I wish my boss was like this too.

– No, all of this is a work of art. Don’t be fooled by the Seoseong Group’s manipulation of public opinion.

– The real thing is very pretentious, and the people say that it is known as a stick.

– That’s right! Arrest Im Jin-yong!

I don’t know if it was aimed or not, but the reaction was generally favorable. Thanks to this, it became a publicity for Suseong Electronics’ jump into VR console development.

By the way, I didn’t really feel it when I was driving, but it’s definitely comfortable since I don’t drive. Even if the road is blocked, there is nothing to be annoyed about, and you can roll the seat back.

When I went to the car page, I was filled with test drives about Raven.

Unlike Benz, BMW, Audi, and Lexus, which have a premium image, the image of a silver car is good for its cost-effectiveness.

The technology can catch up, but the image is hard to catch up with. Even if a cheaper car comes out, the demand for Mercedes-Benz or Lexus does not decrease easily, but the demand for silver-sung cars decreases immediately.

In a situation where it was already behind Chinese cars in price competitiveness and Japanese and German cars in performance, when the PAS airbag recall broke out, the sales volume of Eunsung cars fell by more than 50 percent.

The drop in sales volume and image decline also overlapped, and there was even a forecast that it would be difficult to recover. However, after the release of the self-driving electric vehicle Raven, a turning point was created.

As it is said that bad breath remover invented bad breath, new technology creates discomfort. Because of this, once advanced technology never retreats.

A person who has used a cell phone cannot return to a pager, and a person who has used a smartphone cannot return to a feature phone. Once you ride an autonomous electric vehicle, you feel uncomfortable with other cars.

After the delivery of customers began, word of mouth from people who had ridden Raven spread, and reservations rushed even more. Even though the Gunsan Electric Vehicle Industrial Complex is fully operating the factory with the lights on for 24 hours, the waiting volume has gradually increased.

There are two main directions for future cars. An electric vehicle in terms of hardware and an autonomous vehicle in terms of software.

Of course, the latter is the more powerful of the two. Electric vehicles only change the way they charge, but self-driving cars change the way we live.

In autonomous driving, the driver does not have to worry about driving, so he can do other things during that time. Therefore, the war over vehicle displays is in full swing.

In the past, information necessary for driving such as navigation and rear view camera was mainly shown, but now, like a computer or smartphone, various contents can be provided through the display of the dashboard.

Global conglomerates cannot miss this huge market.

Gubble and Nple, which are already bisecting the smartphone OS market, have come in contact with several good conditions. If they link their OS with the vehicle, they will share user data and share profits.

The stability of the OSes of the two companies has already been verified, and a huge number of applications are registered in the store. As long as you accept the offer, you can start using the content right away.

In fact, several automakers, such as Volvo and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, have accepted the proposal. However, Daryl’s position was firm.

As a software developer in the first place, he was more aware of the importance of the platform than anyone else. Once it starts to become dependent, it is irreversible.

Karos already has a dominant position in the autonomous driving market. Is it necessary to share the market with infinite potential with the IT dinosaurs?

Karos runs its own OS and has tried to attract various third parties. Although there is a barrier to entry that requires developing a separate application, many companies have already hoped for a partnership.

In the past, cars were made once and sold. But now, like a smartphone, you can periodically update the operating system and system and add new functions.

In conjunction with Seoseong Electronics’ smartphone, video calls can be made with the vehicle display and built-in camera, and a function to recommend or make a reservation for restaurants, charging stations, and tourist destinations is also included.

Faceit has developed an algorithm that tracks users’ movement and recommends content they may like.

Among the various contents, education contents are receiving the most attention.

Traveling for a certain amount of time when commuting to and from work, and a closed car is the best environment to study. In addition, electric vehicles produce almost no noise or vibration. Experts also predicted that adult education content will grow explosively in line with the spread of autonomous vehicles.

Karos is further developing an unmanned vehicle without a steering wheel, accelerator or brake. The absence of the steering wheel means that the interior of the vehicle can be designed in a variety of ways. You can ride it lying down, or you can ride with the passengers facing each other.

However, technological advances do not necessarily lead to good results.

Ride-sharing and ride-sharing services are growing explosively, and global car sales have already started to grow negatively since last year.

In addition, as the engine and mission, which accounted for the largest portion of existing auto parts, disappeared due to the increase in the production of electric vehicles, the number of production workers decreased significantly.

In the auto industry, there was a strong job cut fever.

Following the shutdown of the Gunsan plant, GM closed six plants in the United States and decided to cut 20,000 jobs. Volkswagen started to lay off 10,000 workers under the guise of improving management efficiency, and Toyota also considered plant closures and layoffs.

It’s not just car company employees who are losing their jobs. Those who work in the transportation industry in the United States are already looking for other jobs.

Although Karos is leading the way right now, there are only five companies that are expected to release a similar level of self-driving car within the next three years, and if the period is extended to five years, the number will increase to ten.

Experts predict that the replacement rate for autonomous vehicles will exceed 50 percent within the next decade. If this happens, the number of traffic accidents will be reduced to less than one-tenth of what it is today, and the jobs of the police and insurance company workers who deal with traffic accidents, repair shops that fix broken cars, and even doctors and nurses who treat traffic accident patients will be threatened. will be.

Unemployment is a hopeless event for individuals and causes unrest in society as a whole. Brexit in the UK and yellow vest protests in France were also caused by the explosion of dissatisfaction among the people due to unemployment and lack of employment.

In order for our country not to do that, the politicians will have to work with schools and businesses to prepare measures in advance… … As always, the National Assembly has a fierce confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties, and the government is holding hands.

I went into the office of the head of the department of business administration.

Professor Myung-Jun Kim smiled and said as soon as he saw me.

“I’m really glad that the Lost Fantasy concert went well.”

“It was a great opportunity for us as well.”

“The head of the instrumental music department is very talkative. Thanks to you, my family is at peace.”

“I am happy to hear that.”

Kahwamansaseong. What in the world is more important than family peace?

Cultural business plays a big role in raising the image beyond just profit or enjoyment. So, large corporations are providing various support. It builds and operates its own concert hall and sponsors exhibitions, operas, and musicals. A certain president loved Korean traditional music so much that, whenever there was a traditional music event, he forcibly mobilized employees and the head of the agency.

People don’t know it well, but we are also working hard to support the cultural industry. First of all, we are investing in various dramas and movies through Edm Entertainment, and the vice president is working hard to promote subculture.

As a result, the image among otakus has improved greatly. Is this why they are called Otaku Company?

Professor Myung-Jun Kim said while drinking coffee.

“Professor Pil-Hyun Park, I want you to say thank you.”

“What.”

Professor Pil-Hyun Park is a professor in the Department of Automotive at Korea University. He had been taken care of by the PAS airbag crisis the other day.

In gratitude for his work at that time, he donated 10 AD3 and AD4 and 10 Ravens to Korea University, some of which will be used for educational purposes such as disassembly and assembly in the automobile department, and the rest will be used as car sharing for Korean university students. Is expected.

“Not long ago, I met professors from the Department of Automobile, and they all lamented. I’ve been teaching the same thing for decades, and now I can’t keep up with the changes. The curriculum has been revised all at once from this semester. Instead of an engine and a mission, they teach you about a motor and a battery. It is the automobile department that immediately caught fire, but the professors of other departments have a lot of trouble. Some departments will probably disappear in a few years.”

As the industry changes, the talent required changes. Jobs that were promising until yesterday may disappear overnight.

In order not to fall behind the times, education must also keep pace.

“Isn’t Business Administration okay?”

Professor Myung-Jun Kim nodded his head.

“Then the more the times like this, the more important management becomes. No matter how much technology advances, isn’t it a human being to deal with it in the end? Do you know that your story is included in recent economic and management major books?”

“Yes?”

“What are you so excited about? When I went to the bookstore, I heard that there were not only one or two books sold by Jinhu Kang.”

“Still, the majors are different. I mean, students learn my case… … .”

What else do you have to learn?

As the professor said, the economics and management corners of bookstores are lined with books with my name on them. ‘Invest like the Gangjin-hoo’, ‘If you read this book, the Gangjin-hoo even at the time’, ‘The Gangjin-hoo investment perfect analysis’, ‘Imitate the Gangjin-hu’, etc.

I was bored, so I skimmed through anything, and it was really well written about bullshit.

What’s really surprising is that even though you can invest like me just by reading one book, they actually write and sell books instead of doing that!

Professor Myung-Jun Kim said proudly.

“As you can see, the ranking of Korean universities in the world university competitiveness has risen tremendously. Among them, our business department is unique. Transfer students are also lining up. Ah! Have you ever heard of that?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What are you talking about?”

“Princess Enrique decided to come to our school this time.”

“i See. Enrique… … Yes?”

I nodded in surprise.

“Is the Norwegian princess at our school? Why?”

Professor Myung-Jun Kim asked me.

“You didn’t know? I thought I’d know because I’ve met you before. Originally, I was planning to go to MIT to study abroad, but they said they changed it to Korea. I applied for transfer to the engineering school, and all the procedures were completed.”

“Are you a transfer student, not an exchange student?”

“Huh. transfer.”

Exchange students study for a certain period of time and return to their original school, but transfer students receive a diploma from this school.

In the case of the engineering school, most classes are conducted in English, so there will be no problem in listening to the lectures.

It is common for royals to go abroad to study. However, most go to the United States or advanced European countries, but rarely choose Korea.

“Why did you choose Korea University over MIT?”

“Isn’t it because Korea is rapidly growing in future industries such as HUM, automobiles, semiconductors, batteries, and games?”

“It is, but… … .”

Regardless of whether the government is good at economic policies or not, Korean conglomerates are entering new industries and competing fiercely.

In the memory semiconductor field, Seosung Electronics outperformed its competitors with a super-gap strategy, and CL Chemical’s Seoseong SB and SSK Innovation have production systems for OTK batteries. Eunseong Motors mass-produced the second self-driving electric vehicle after Karos, and game companies one after another joined OTK Games’ VRMMORPG development project.

Previously, there were many criticisms that the Korean economy was too dependent on semiconductors, but now it is showing prominence in various fields.

In particular, batteries are attracting attention to the extent that they are said to be the second semiconductor. It is needless to say how great an achievement Professor Ho-Min Kim has accomplished.

“Isn’t that also the purpose of building connections? You and Professor Homin Kim are all from Korea University. However, these days, Korean university students are doing very well in overseas employment. There are a lot of kids who go to places like Gubble, NPL, and Face Note.”

I remembered Princess Enrique, who was babbling about the game with her eyes shining.

surely… … Isn’t this related to Oh Taek-gyu?
