Start-Up (스타트업)

EPISODE 15

-Are you ready? -Yes.

Let's start.

Here we go.

All right. This is a historic moment for Cheongmyeong Company

which Studio Jakdu will record.

Come and watch from over here.

Come on in. Come join us here!

This is just for a temporary permit. Why come all the way here?

Got nothing else to do?

I wish. We're so busy because of the bidding.

-Bidding? -You don't know about it yet?

The City of Seonju is building a smart city.

I know about it. DQ Group got the project. The budget is over a trillion won.

They're looking for an autonomous vehicle company,

and we're submitting a bid.

-I see. -Step up your game.

If you keep working hard, Cheongmyeong Company

will grow enough to land such a large-scale project.

That's right.

As they say, a good start is half the battle.

I know you will get this permit thanks to our engineers.

What do you mean?

These twins here left the company after setting everything up.

I can vouch for them,

so relax and enjoy. Just chill.

-We had to completely redo the system. -What?

Come again? Redo what?

Why?

We really wanted to just build on what you had created and take the easy route.

But we couldn't.

So many ghosts and no sensor fusion.

And the control functions were all messed up as well.

I even got carsick and threw up when the car was driving.

So we used our own algorithm for the system.

We also had to completely change the central system.

-They're going too fast. -What makes them so confident?

What if they run into a problem?

A ghost.

Did it pick up a ghost?

No.

Oh, there's a cat.

It was a cat, not a ghost.

In other words, the system is good enough to prevent roadkill.

The test is almost over. Shall we wait for them at the finish line?

Sure, good idea.

It was a cat. A kitty cat, okay?

When is the bid deadline?

What? What bid? For what?

The smart city project that DQ Group has landed.

I think we should also participate in the bidding.

-All of a sudden? -I also thought it'd be too sudden.

But after seeing that, I no longer think so.

And that look on your faces

tells me that our system is better than Morning AI's.

You can bluff anytime. It doesn't cost a thing.

But if you have to pay the price, it won't be cheap. You know that, right?

Yes. I know that well.

Hey, Yong-san.

Remember Do-san talking about developing an autonomous driving system at 2STO?

Of course, I remember.

When Alex asked him why he wanted to do that…

He said, "Just in case."

But he's turned that into reality.

Yes, he has.

"Just in case"? What are you guys talking about?

Not telling you.

-Thank you. -Well done.

Hey, guys!

-That was great! -You rock!

-Let us carry you. -Here, hop on!

-What? -Hey, come on!

-Hey, Do-san! -Come on!

-One, two, three! -One, two, three!

-Nam Do-san! -Nam Do-san!

-Nam Do-san! -Nam Do-san!

-Seo Dal-mi! -Seo Dal-mi!

-Seo Dal-mi! -Seo Dal-mi!

-One, two, three! -Two, three!

WINNER

A PRODUCT WITH ENOUGH FEATURES TO ATTRACT EARLY ADOPTERS AND VALIDATE A PRODUCT IDEA

-You're nuts. -We're at work now.

-You are crazy, Ms. Won. -Seems like it.

-Yes, I agree. -That's nonsense.

You know, the ink on our temporary permit hasn't even dried yet.

But we passed the test with flying colors.

I think we have a shot at winning the bid.

I need to speak with you.

It's like telling a little kid to take the CSAT.

I took it when I was in grade school.

Fine, anyone can take it. But did you get into college as a kid?

-I did. -What?

-You did? -What?

I dropped out after a few months.

You freak.

Gosh, I don't even want to try to understand that freak anymore.

What's gotten into you? What's with this nonsense?

I don't think it's nonsense.

I believe a business can only grow as large as the CEO's dreams.

Don't limit yourself. I hope you can keep challenging yourself as a CEO.

Sometimes, foolhardy dreams can become reality--

I guess Morning AI is bidding too.

That's right.

But I put Cheongmyeong Company's vision

-before my personal feelings-- -You don't want to lose.

Right, I don't.

I'd rather die than lose.

But Morning is their majority shareholder.

Chairman Won Du-jeong supports them.

Injae Company is your majority shareholder.

You have my support.

Let's drop this.

You're not confident?

I am confident in our technology.

But we can't win that bidding war with technology alone.

And we don't have time to fight a battle that we will lose.

You've lost your spirit.

No, I'm just being careful.

You know.

I once lost my entire team because of a reckless decision.

I don't want to lose them again.

That's my top priority.

CHUL-SAN ICED VANILLA LATTE LOVER

WE WON A TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS DRIVING PERMIT!

-No! -Hey!

Enough already!

Everyone!

We finally got the temporary operation permit.

Congratulate us by subscribing to my channel and liking this video.

I must be going crazy.

HE GOT ALL THE CHAMPAGNE TRYING TO PROTECT HER

What are these comments?

He was protecting me. Why are they freaking out?

Can we add weather conditions to this?

To make the driving environment a little more extreme.

As you know, Tarzan could use some improvement on that front.

Chul-san, you're so cute when you're having your iced vanilla latte.

Your sweet eyes are going to give me diabetes.

Lee Chul-san is perfect.

Lee Chul-san is flawless.

Chul-san, you have nice teeth. I'm a dentist.

Let me know if you need dental scaling!

If we set that up and do a simulation…

Sa-ha?

Are you listening?

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Let's see. Now--

-Hello! -Oh, hello.

-Hello! Hello, everyone. -Hello.

Here's the video we shot on the day of the test.

It's a rough cut, but check it out and let me know.

Thanks, Cheon-ho. Are you not charging us again?

That's right. But can you guys give me your feedback on something?

On what?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Here.

This is a fortune-telling app based on tarot cards.

It's called Believe It or Not.

-Tarot cards? -Sounds fun.

-It's a scam. -Come on. It's all bullshit.

-We don't believe stuff like that. -Give it a try.

It's extremely accurate.

And the app is synced with Yeong-sil.

So just pick what you want, and he'll read it to you.

I'm sure some engineering majors came up with that algorithm.

Sa-ha, don't buy into such superstitions.

How about a career reading?

-Oh, do you want to try? -What?

-Do-san, you don't believe this stuff. -Can I ask something like this?

Should we bid on the smart city project or not?

Of course. You can ask it anything.

All right. Career. Okay.

Take your pick.

THIS IS FOR YOUR CAREER READING CAREFULLY CHOOSE 1 CARD

PLEASE WAIT

You chose the Tower card.

They say that arrogance comes before a fall.

And recklessness can make hard work meaningless.

Be careful.

I'm getting goosebumps.

So we shouldn't do it?

I guess not.

I knew it.

Don't believe it. It's just a superstition.

-Do you need to photocopy something? -No.

Then what's up?

I have two favors to ask.

Favors?

Sure, what are they? Anything for you.

I want you to stop vlogging.

Stop vlogging?

Well, I have 50,000 subscribers.

Can I ask you why?

-You don't want to? -It's not that.

Okay, I'll stop doing it. I was going to stop anyway. Yes, I should.

Then what's the second one?

I hate when people are obviously dating a co-worker,

so don't show it.

Gosh, I wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it.
