[026] Miraculous investment company 2.
I carefully examined the expressions of the five people, including Oh Se-hyun.
Oh Se-hyun has a puzzled expression.
Uncle is out. I don’t know too much about the US situation. I must have lived in Korea for too long.
The reactions of the three men were varied. The one who shakes his head, the one who starts thinking hard, the one who is startled.
It was the woman who showed the most immediate reaction.
“How… how do you know….
She looked at me and stammered before turning her gaze to Oh Se-hyeon. I realized later that I was speaking to a child who could not understand English.
Oh Se-hyeon, who already knew what questions they were asking, spoke urgently.
“Do-joon. How do you know your Dell computer?”
I know how, because I’ve used it.
Of course, other words came out of my mouth.
“Didn’t I tell you? The guy who made $2,000 selling stamps when he was 12 and made a fortune selling newspaper subscriptions while he was in high school. That person is Michael Dell.”
“ah…!”
Oh Se-hyun snapped her fingers as if she remembered the conversation she had with me.
Michael Dell, born in 1965, is a person who clearly shows that even making money is an innate talent.
A friend’s father was a philatelist, and he discovered that trading in stamps was done through auctions, and the commissions of the auction brokers were high.
From then on, Dell visited philatelists, made lists of stamps they wanted to buy and sell, and even advertised in magazines using the money he earned serving at Chinese restaurants.
It became a postage stamp dealer by removing the bubble of auction fees and directly connecting sellers and buyers. at the age of only 12.
When I was in high school, I delivered newspapers, but when I realized that I was receiving an incentive for each subscriber, I started looking for subscribers.
In general, if you subscribe to a newspaper, you will continue to read it without changing the newspaper. However, when I move, I have to subscribe to the newspaper again.
Dell noticed this phenomenon.
He toured courthouses in Houston, Texas, obtained lists of recently married people and targeted them.
The incentive Dell received that year was a whopping $18,000.
It was more than a high school teacher’s salary, and Dell used the money to buy a BMW car.
Simplification of distribution process Intensive marketing.
This was consistent with the way Dell Computer would operate in the future.
Of course, this fact is now unknown. It will be known after Michael Dell is denied.
“So you’re saying you’re going to spend a lot of money just talking about that person’s childhood?”
“I am a person who has already made money at my age. There are no rich grandpas like me. Surely such a person would not earn a lot of money?”
Oh Se-hyeon, who stared at me for a moment, said to the staff.
“Get all information about Dell Computers Michael Dell. Right Now.”
All professional.
When the boss’s command, Oh Se-hyeon, was given, I immediately sat down in front of the IBM PC AT and inserted a 2 megabyte floppy disk.
If you decide, follow. I have no complaints or doubts, I just do my best.
I felt proud again.
It’s a life that ended up living only as a salaryman.
Now there are four soldiers receiving my salary. Different races and skin colors.
They forgot my existence and focused only on finding data.
It was impossible to sit still for a while, or to look at it happily.
I went into the bathroom on one side of the office and got coffee beans. The aroma of coffee permeated the office.
They picked up five cups of coffee on a tray and set them down on their desks.
“Oh Thanks.
They patted my head and said that my behavior was cute.
I am not yet aware that I am the majority shareholder and the owner of this company. Well in a few years you’ll know enough.

When I returned to the hotel, my mother and older brother were nowhere to be seen. With a guide attached, it seems to have gone out into the city.
Feeling a little tired, I was about to lie down on the bed, but Oh Se-hyun threw a pile of papers on the bed first.
Even after sufficient discussions in the office, it seems to be reviewing it one more time until the end.
I’m embarrassed. I’m still far
“uncle. Are you still not sure? Everyone at work earlier was positive…”
“How do you know that? Do you understand English?”
Oops.
“Oh no. It’s just the expression… Everyone is smiling…”
“Hmm… I’ve never been certain in my life. I am always suspicious.”
He speaks without taking his eyes off the paperwork.
always doubt It was something I hadn’t expected.
“There is no such thing as 100 percent certainty in a business, project, or investment. Don’t trust anyone who says things like that. he is irresponsible Work to minimize doubt and anxiety. That is what it is.”
It’s clear what this man is saying to listen to me… Have you changed your mind? Does that mean you won’t be treated like a child anymore?
Anyway, I found out while dealing with the first class.
I didn’t learn anything.
All I know is what I learned through experience and hard work.
The contents of a higher level were shared in their own world, but did not come out.
I just looked ahead and ran to do what they told me to do well. Not knowing the real reason for what they were doing meant not learning anything.
“Think of the scales. You put good and bad results on a scale and measure the difference. I only start when the good results outweigh the bad results by nine times. You set your own standards. How many times should I do it?”
90% chance of success. Quite high.
It is a natural attitude for an asset manager to invest with his clients’ money, not his own money.
How should I set my standards?
While immersed in such troubles, Oh Se-hyeon started organizing the papers.
“Do-joon. You stay here with your mother.”
“Where are you going?”
“I think we should go to Texas.”
“You want to meet me in person?”
“I will. The performance is good, but the scale is small. Even if you try to throw money bombs, this company will not be able to afford it.”
I tried to throw all 15 million dollars, but it’s impossible.
Last year, Dell Computers already raised $30 million. Of course, I don’t remember these details.
This is a story I heard when people were discussing data at the company.
Maybe it’s a step too late?
Should we turn to Microsoft stock, which is only up 50x?
When this thought crossed my mind, I hit my head.
You’re still so weak!
I was ashamed to the point of shuddering at the weakness of looking for another way as soon as the possibility was far away without even trying.
“I will go too.”
“what?”
“He’s someone I like… I want to meet him in person.”
“Hmm… I guess so. When I buy a 1,000 won snack, I buy it after seeing it myself. After seeing it in person, I wonder what you think.”
Oh Se-hyeon booked a ticket to Texas and a hotel at once, and then contacted the company to arrange a meeting with Dell Computer.
“uncle. Did you promise to meet? already?”
Clearly, nothing was confirmed about the contents of the call. But Oh Se-hyeon was already packing his things.
“I can’t give up just because someone else said no. If you don’t meet me, I’ll have to go into the company. There is nothing to lose, right?”
At this time, it looks like a typical Korean bulldozer.
In the end, it has to change according to the time and place situation.
Human beings can have an infinite number of appearances.

We arrived at Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas, and found a rental car office.
Oh Se-hyeon called the company from the car rental office to confirm the meeting appointment, then got into the car without saying anything.
I thought I was going to Dell Computer Headquarters or the hotel, but the car veered in the wrong direction.
“uncle. Where are you going?”
“Mt. Bonnell.”
“yes?”
“If you look down from Covert Park, the summit here, you can see all of Austin at a glance. Looking down on Lake Austin, the views are breathtaking. You can’t miss it. Especially today, the weather is nice, so I’m lucky.”
Texas’ weather is notorious for being fickle. Some days, the scorching sun shines all day long, but within a few days, it rains again, and even it rains and clears several times a day.
“Have you been there?”
“no. just at the airport. It was listed in the tourist brochure.”
It is unclear whether he is a shrewd person who actively utilizes his spare time or whether he is trying to calm himself down because a meeting appointment has failed.
I, too, leaned back against the seat and sat down comfortably, enjoying the view of Austin.
I wasn’t worried about whether I would be able to meet you or not.
Oh Se-hyun somehow believed. I will definitely be able to meet you.
If the meeting fails, I will stay here in Texas and ask Oh Se-hyun and the Miracle Investment staff to make sure the meeting is held.
Now I am not a servant, but a master. We need to switch from the farmhand’s thinking to the owner’s thinking.
But I also knew what I had to do. In order to become a confident owner, the body must also be strong.
“Heh heh…… Uncle Sa. How many steps does this have?”
“That… well. It’s my first time too… heh heh heh.”
The two of us were exhausted as we climbed and climbed the endless steep limestone stairs that started from the parking lot on the mountainside.
It wasn’t bad to be able to throw away my nervousness for a while.
* * *
Exhausted, the two of us unpacked at the Hyatt Regency, lay down on the bed, and waited for a phone call.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“The investment potential of Dell Computer is low.”
“Because you’ve already invested thirty million dollars?”
Investing is for people who are cold and hungry. Investing in a person with a warm back and a full stomach is no different from forcing them to eat another bowl of porridge.
“You also understand me well. If it had been last year, Dell would have been waiting for us impatiently. this is the timing Investing is all about finding the right moment. A time to enter and a time to exit.”
“We are late now.”
“You should see that.”
Oh Se-hyun’s expression, lying on his arm pillow, was very hard.
At this time, the phone rang.
Oh Se-hyun jumped up and picked up the receiver.
Judging from the fact that he said “Yes U-hum Good All Right,” it must have been an appointment.
“What?”
It is Oh Se-hyun who suddenly reconfirms with wide eyes.
what? is it wrong?
Oh Se-hyun, who put the receiver down, shrugged.
“done. I’ll meet you.”
Unknowingly, I clapped my hands! hit
“By the way… this haha.”
“Why are you like that?”
“I can’t make time for it, so let’s talk over lunch tomorrow?”
“Good for you.”
“That’s… I’m eating a hamburger. Long time to Wendy’s.”
Oh Se-hyeon tilted his head at my absurd, dazed look.
“why? Don’t you like hamburgers?”
There are old kids like me who don’t like hamburgers. Moreover, since business meetings are always framed as a good restaurant, I couldn’t erase my blank expression.
