Episode 136: Frontyard Multi (1)

After stopping by a rest stop in Cheongju for a light meal.

“Now I will drive.”

This time I took the steering wheel of the bus.

It was because I was too sorry to leave Eunsol alone to drive.

However… … .

‘Is this a bit tense?’

I was confident in my driving skills, but when I took the wheel, I became nervous again.

As Eunsol showed off her proficiency in large-scale driving until recently, the pressure of having to show more than that was weighing down on me.

But.

‘Phew.’

There was no need to be nervous as you could make a mistake while driving while nervous.

The scary thing about large vehicles is that they know that small mistakes can lead to big accidents, so they couldn’t stay tense for long.

‘I need to loosen up a bit first.’

I gently shook my shoulders to relax my body, and then started the engine slowly.

OK.

burleung-

The engine spit and started moving slowly.

after a while.

‘Are you driving well today?’

What I was nervous about earlier was a funny driving day. Whenever I turned the steering wheel or moved the accelerator, clutch, or stick, it was wrapped in my hand without a single blockage, and the car listened to me without a single shake.

‘Good. If it’s like this, won’t you be pushed by Eunsol-sensei?’

I smiled softly and looked at Eunsol.

However?

Eunsol looked down at the bus floor with a serious expression.

‘Huh?’

Obviously, Eunsol was smiling brightly until she passed Mungyeong earlier, so I was a little worried about her sudden change.

‘What happened at the rest area earlier?’

But obviously, they stayed together except when I went to the bathroom at the rest area earlier.

‘What’s going on?’

I was a little worried as the time we had spent together was long.

I thought I wanted to ask what was going on, but if it was a personal matter, it would be difficult to answer.

That’s when I thought about it for a while.

“Teacher.”

Eunsol raised her head and said.

However, her eyes are a bit strange.

She is like… … .

‘what?’

The soldier was looking at me with the eyes of her mother looking at her son.

“Yes? Why?”

I tilted her head and asked. Eunsol hesitated a bit, and then she opened her mouth with a cautious expression.”Perhaps… Would you like to go up to Seoul and look for academies in Noryangjin or Daechi-dong?”

Well, it looks like he’s trying to bring up the story we talked about before we went to the rest area.

“Yes. for once It’s probably the front line, so if you want to get a seat quickly, you have to go there.”

She replied lightly, because she had nothing to hide from her anyway.

OK.

“rather… Do you have any plans to expand your current hermit crab academy? Probably… Going straight to Noryangjin or Daechi-dong is a bit… .”

She looked at me with that worried look in her manners.

Oh, I did something… … .

By this time she seemed to know what she had been doing before.

“Won’t Daechi-dong be too sudden?”

She seemed to be worried that I had made a decision too suddenly.

I nodded.

If I was an academy instructor who knew even a little about the market I was going to enter, it wouldn’t be strange to react like Eunsol.

Daechi-dong.

This is where Eunma Apartment, the myth of redevelopment apartment in Korea, is located.

The so-called prestigious high schools such as J High, K High, W High, C High School, D High School, Y High, J High, J Girls’ High School, K Girls’ High School, S Girls’ High School, etc.

It is also the place where the most academies are concentrated in the country, and at the same time, it is the land of the blood, sweat and hope of the test takers, which divides Noryangjin and the examination market.

What is Noryangjin? I experienced it while giving a lecture at Jaesu Academy last year, but… In fact, Daechi-dong was an unknown world I had never experienced before, so it was understandable that she was worried as she is now.

Because this is the goal that every instructor in Korea dreams of at least once. A world of weak meat and strong food where the fight to eat and be eaten takes place. Because it was a battlefield where all kinds of schemes to overthrow the opponent came and went.

“I used to attend classes there… If it is a school management, I think it would be better to think carefully. Probably there… It’s a little bit special.”

Hearing Eunsol’s words, she remembered the first time she had gone there.

Perhaps when I was just starting out at the hagwon, there was a time when I went to Daechi-dong recklessly thinking that if I were a lecturer, I had to go there at least once.

At that time, the appearance of Daechi-dong I saw was very unusual.

As soon as you get off the subway station, everything you see is an academy. Academy. Academy. Academy. Academy.

When I saw the signboard of the academy located deep in the alley where I was like, ‘Is there an academy in a place like this?’

‘I’m tired, I’m tired.’

The thought of that came to my mind.

In addition, whenever I saw the faces of students walking down the street with suitcases larger than their bodies, and the expressions of parents waiting for their children with impatient expressions, I was a little horrified.

because.

‘Admission! Only entrance exams! I don’t need to learn anything else!’

It was because what the scenery was saying was quite clear.

If Noryangjin is a place where you can see the contradictions of Korea’s job market at a glance, Daechi-dong is a place where you can get a glimpse of Korea’s overheated zeal for education and universalism.

Therefore, there was no Children’s Day, Christmas, or birthdays for students in Daechi-dong.

study only. study. study.

Until the sprint for a prestigious university was over, and until they finished the marathon track that their parents had made, freedom was a story of a distant world to them.

which.

‘Ah, mother. 150 for elementary school, 180 for middle school. You should expect at least 300 for the high school class. Yes? Hmmm, tutoring? That’s it… Isn’t that what the instructor is all about?’

became money

So, if you have the skills, there is no better place than there.

Depends on the instructor’s ability.

[31-year-old Daechi-dong math instructor buys a 32 billion dollar building in the middle of Gangnam!][10 billion annual income, walking ‘World of Star Instructor’]

It was a place where dreams could come true.

As long as they send their children to a good university, it is the parents of Korea who want to teach their children even if they pay a widow’s debt. Daechi-dong parents, the final evolutionary form of those parents, thought, spoke and moved as if they risked their lives for their children’s grades.

When the star instructor, Hana, tried to launch an online lecture.

‘Against online lectures! If there are too many perfect scores, our kids won’t be able to go to college! I’d rather raise my child’s academy fee!’

Would such an absurd thing to say?

So, I had a lot of trouble with this business problem.

In the meantime, I’ve heard a lot about the Daechi-dong Academy. However, it was because I had never actually lectured or even listened to a lecture there.

What’s more, what I’m trying to do is open an offline academy with the name of ‘hermit crab’, not just a position as a lecturer.

So unless you’re ready to jump in. He couldn’t ignore the possibility that he couldn’t stand it and fell.

However.

“no. To catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.”

I made a decision. I decided to go straight to Daechi-dong and Noryangjin at once.

As I spoke with a determined expression, Eunsol sighed and slowly opened her mouth.

“Then prepare a little more and go in… I’ll help too.”

But.

“I think that would be difficult.”

I shook my head again this time. Of course, it wasn’t too bad to open the academy by tapping the stone bridge slowly as she suggested.

‘It’s taking too long.’

Therefore, I decided to use a more drastic method instead of that method.

That’s right.

‘Guts Multi’

As a child, I was obsessed with a strategy simulation called ‘War of the Stars’.

The game was a game where you select different races to collect resources on the map and annihilate your opponent.

Therefore, it was important to expand the resource points to win the game, and in the game, this is called ‘multi’.

And there were two ways to do this multiplayer.

The method of expanding immediately after thoroughly building the defense facilities, and the method of boldly expanding first and then raising the defense facilities according to the situation later.

Both methods have distinct advantages and disadvantages. It was definitely the latter that showed my favorite play at the time.

because.

‘Because he showed a higher win rate.’

Although the latter method had the disadvantage that the early defense of multiplayer was at risk, there was no more reliable method if only the player’s strategy and tactical ability were supported.

So, just like in ‘War of the Stars’, if the expansion of the academy supported the tactical ability and strategic vision of the expanding party, even if they slowly made all the preparations and tried, they could win.

And for me… … .

‘I have a USB.’

There were more strategic and tactical items than anything else in the world. As long as it’s in my hands, the more daring the multiplayer, the better.

So while I was organizing my thoughts for a while. Eunsol shook her head and opened her mouth.

“… Teacher. It would take a lot of money to open an academy in Noryangjin and Daechi-dong. Even if you are looking for a hermit crab academy alone, 10 billion won should be enough… .”

I nodded. Because, as she said, there was a big financial problem.

The large initial investment was an unavoidable problem as the academy I wanted to open was not as small as a local tutoring academy.

‘It does cost a lot of money.’

Currently, I have about 5 billion won. No matter how much I received a bank loan, it was unreasonable to open a private academy in two places at the same time.

However.

“It doesn’t have to be done with my own money.”It was a story when I was only doing it with my own money.

If there was someone who could invest capital in me, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to open a private academy in both places.

Bureung-

Audi R8 V10 RWS exhaust sound I haven’t heard in a long time.

The speed of hitting and rising in an instant along with the shaking of the cup.

When I got on the bus, I felt like I was being blown away by the cool driving that I couldn’t feel.

Come to think of it, it’s been almost two years since I’ve had this car.

The car that was the first to run hermit crab academy.

At that time, the price of a car worth close to 200 million was very burdensome, but now it is only a price that can be bought at any time if you want.

‘Well, I have no intention of changing it.’

earlier.

‘It doesn’t have to be done with my own money.’

By the end of our conversation with Eunsol, we were able to arrive in Seoul.

The time is 3:30. It was about 30 minutes before the appointment time.

Although we arrived earlier than expected, the meeting place was in the center of Seoul, so we couldn’t make it on time by taking a big and heavy bus.

So, after I dropped Eunsol off at the academy, she immediately got into my car parked at the academy and headed to the meeting place. It was probably the only way to keep the time on that side.

And fortunately… My prediction was not wrong.

A cool open road and a car running on it. People’s gaze and the surrounding scenery passing by. Backing them up, I was able to arrive at the meeting point on time.

quiver-

I stopped and slowly looked at the meeting place of the day.

[Hotel Baekje]

A luxurious hotel was seen on the hillside.

after a while.

As I entered the cafe in the hotel.

“Chief Kim. I enjoyed your article. He did a really good job.”

Jang Hoon, general manager of Yotube Korea’s content management department, greeted me with a bright face.

I nodded. Then he looked at the person next to him.

OK.

“nice to see you. My name is Kyung-Hoon Min of Yotube Korea Strategic Investment Department.”

he greeted me I nodded and shook hands with him. Then he sat down and looked at them.

“Now, since we don’t have much time, shall we talk about the business right away? Let’s eat after that. How are you?”

Janghoon said in a cheerful tone.

A no-frills meeting. If so, that’s what I was hoping for.

Because today’s promise is just an extension of the future.

And because it was a place to talk about investment for that.

As much as I wanted to expand as soon as possible, I didn’t want to waste that time with pretentiousness.

“great.”

When I nodded my head, Janghoon slowly opened his mouth with an expression that he thought so.

“CEO. The representative’s proposal has been carefully considered by us. And as a result… .”

I focused on his mouth.

“invest… Approval has been lost.”
