Real Man-Chapter 706

He was about to point out this part.

Ziing.

His phone vibrated and a messenger window flashed.

A group chat room with Yoo-hyun, Han Jae-hee, and Park Wonseok was created and a message popped up.

-Park Wonyoung: Sister, brothers, please promote the video on SNS. And tell your friends too.

Han Jae-hee looked at the content with a dubious expression.

“Wonyoung, I think you’re delusional.”

“What delusion?”

“I mean, it was fun for me to see people I know, but others might not feel the same. Besides, who would like a video of a brick factory?”

“That’s why we need to promote it more.”

“It’s not going to work, no matter how much we promote it. Do you think we can get 100 views?”

“Just do me a favor and promote it a little, why are you so picky?”

Han Jae-hee was annoyed by Yoo-hyun’s subtle encouragement.

“Geez. Brother, open your Instagram for a second.”

“Why?”

“Let me see how confident you are.”

“I only have an account.”

Tik.

As Yoo-hyun tapped on the Instagram app, Han Jae-hee burst into laughter as she peeked at the screen.

“Puhaha! Seriously, how can you have only one follower on your Instagram account?”

“I don’t use it, that’s why.”

“Brother, just don’t post it. You won’t even get one view, let alone 100.”

“Hey, you’re hurting my pride, you know?”

“Who do you think you are, with one follower against 1,000?”

Yoo-hyun suppressed his anger and engraved three patience marks in his mind.

He couldn’t get mad at his sister who was on the last day of her vacation.

“Hmph! I’m not expecting anything, I’m just doing it. It should be helpful, at least a little bit.”

“Brother, you’re not helpful at all.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll post it and go to sleep.”

Yoo-hyun waved his hand and uploaded a few YouTube video links.

Then he went to his room and fell asleep right away.

The clock was pointing at midnight.

Around that time, the morning sun rose brightly in San Francisco.

A tall man who had just arrived at work opened the Instagram app habitually.

His eyes widened as he checked the new news on the top.

“Steve Han?”

The linked video seemed to be a brick factory located in Korea.

Regardless of the strange content, Steve Han’s ID was clear.

-Steve, I’m your first follower.

Kevin Systrom, the CEO of Instagram, remembered it clearly as he had personally recommended and followed the ID.

Sure enough, when he checked the other videos, Steve Han’s face was on the thumbnail.

Suddenly, Kevin Systrom’s mind flashed back to the past when he worked with only four people.

That was when he first saw Steve Han here.

It was a tough time, but thanks to the money he invested, Instagram was able to grow quickly.

Kevin Systrom expressed his gratitude by leaving a comment and a tag.

#Thankyou_SteveHan

At that moment, a new news came up on Hyun Jin-geon Gun’s Instagram app.

He checked the comment left by Kevin Systrom, who shared the same building, and looked at the post.

There was a familiar friend’s face on the video thumbnail.

“What are you doing, Yoo-hyun?”

He chuckled and left a comment and the same tag.

Hyun Jin-geon Gun’s tag was followed by Paul Graham.

“He’s having fun.”

Paul Graham, who watched the video, pressed the heart.

This was the beginning.

Paul Graham’s tens of thousands of followers quickly connected Yoo-hyun’s network.

It was something that happened while Yoo-hyun was asleep.

The next morning, early.

Ziing. Ziing.

The incoming call woke Yoo-hyun from his nap.

As soon as he answered, Park Wonyoung’s excited voice came out.

-Yoo-hyun oppa! The video is a hit! The views are over 10,000!

What the hell was he talking about?

Yoo-hyun tried to recall and asked.

“10,000? Is that a lot?

-Of course! It’s a miracle for a technical video to get 10,000 views in a day. But oppa, do you know who Steve Han is?

“Huh? That’s my English name, why?”

-The comments are all in English looking for Steve Han. You must have a lot of foreign friends. You’re a global insider, huh.

“No way.”

The foreign friends Yoo-hyun knew were mostly big shots who did their own thing.

It didn’t make sense that they would come to a brick factory video and leave comments.

Did the Instagram promotion work?

It didn’t seem likely for an account with only one follower.

While Yoo-hyun was puzzled, Park Wonyoung exclaimed.

-Anyway, thank you. I’m going to make more videos with excitement.

“Sure. Good luck.”

Tuk.

Yoo-hyun hung up the phone and checked the Instagram app with a curious mind.

There were a lot of notifications on the screen.

When he clicked on it, he saw that his followers had increased to over 2,000 overnight.

It was more than twice the number that Han Jae-hee had made over a long period of time.

‘What’s going on?’

Yoo-hyun was bewildered.

His phone vibrated and a familiar name appeared on the screen.

Laura Parker.

Yoo-hyun quickly answered her call, which he hadn’t received in a long time.

Then he greeted her in German, matching the other person.

“Laura, nice to hear from you. What’s up?”

-Don’t worry, it’s not about work.

“Why would I worry? You’re doing great.”

-Did you hear about the progress?

“Yes. I heard that the test version of Channel Edition came out.”

Yoo-hyun answered based on the report from Jang Junsik, the assistant.

Yoo-hyun had been the one who connected Channel and Hansung smartphone, so he had received detailed updates on this issue whenever there was a problem.

Laura Parker went over the parts that Yoo-hyun roughly knew.

-Yes. The Hansung smartphone design is not bad, so the edition sold quite well. It also goes well with Channel Watch 2. And…

Even though she knew that Yoo-hyun had quit Hansung, she brought up the work-related topic in depth.

“In my opinion, the edition announcement should be aligned with the smartphone launch…”

Yoo-hyun also actively shared his thoughts with her.

The barrier of the company and the relationship did not matter to their trust.

When the conversation was somewhat settled, Laura Parker asked.

-By the way, Steve, do you work at a brick factory?

“Ah, did you see the video?”

-Yes. I saw it on Instagram.

It was connected to Laura Parker too.

Yoo-hyun felt amazed and told the truth.

“I’m not working there, I just went to help out at my father’s factory for a while.”

-If it’s your father’s factory, I have someone I can introduce you to who might be helpful.

“Introduce me?”

-I have a friend from design school who is a brick maniac. I showed him the video and he said he wanted to visit the factory.

Yujae Brick’s production process had some special corners.

It was enough to arouse curiosity for an expert.

“Is your friend in Korea?”

“Yes. He is.”

“Then let me know anytime. I’ll welcome him.”

-He’s impatient, so he might want to go as soon as possible. Is that okay?

If he was connected to Laura Parker, he must have been quite high-ranking.

His visit could also be a stimulus for Yujae Brick.

“That’s even better. But who is he?”

-A construction designer. His name is Andrea Gurski.

“Andrea… what? Andrea Gurski?”

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Yoo-hyun’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the world-renowned construction designer.

Meanwhile, inside the president’s office of Ami Construction.

President Hwang Unki raised his eyebrows as he received the report from Director Seo Jongsik.

“Andrea came to Korea?”

“Yes. He arrived last week.”

“Huh. And he hasn’t shown his face to the partner he’s supposed to work with?”

“Apparently, Andrea is known for being free-spirited. He only moves when he wants to.”

By now, they should have drawn up the construction estimate for the eco-friendly village project that was scheduled to start in the second half of the year.

But the state was delayed because the designer didn’t show up.

President Hwang Unki expressed his frustration in his words.

“Arrogant German bastard. He’s making a fuss over a trivial design.”

“President, this is an opportunity for us. Once we establish a connection with Andrea, bigger things will come in the future.”

“Hmph! I guess so.”

“Now is the time to endure and raise the stakes.”

At Director Seo Jongsik’s meaningful answer, President Hwang Unki leaned forward.

“Okay, that’s that, but what about Yujae Brick? President Han seems to be looking for ways to deal with it.”

“The preparation is done. I’ll go and sort it out.”

“Okay. Let’s finish this.”

President Hwang Unki’s mouth curled up slightly.

Andrea Gurski was a world-class architectural designer.

He had a reputation for designing large-scale eco-friendly complexes, and he used bricks for most of the exterior materials, as he was a brick maniac.

He also planned to use bricks for the large-scale eco-friendly village project in Korea.

As Yujae Brick was related to him in many ways, Yoo-hyun wanted to meet him once.

But just when he couldn’t find a proper way to do so, he was unexpectedly connected through Laura Parker.

-We get along well, so I don’t think there’s anything to prepare. Just let me know the date and I’ll visit right away.

The German-born man was very satisfied with his conversation with Yoo-hyun.

He was impatient, so he set the date right away, and even visited the factory alone on the day of the appointment.

He didn’t have any particular requests.

He proved that he came purely for the bricks, as he sparkled his eyes like a child with a toy when he saw the brick that Yoo-hyun handed him at the site.

‘He really likes bricks.’

Yoo-hyun looked at him, who was immersed in the bricks.

He was over forty, but he looked quite young because of his casual outfit and brimmed hat.

He had a white skin and a sharp face with deep eyes and thick eyebrows.

Fluent German came out of his mouth.

“It’s good, isn’t it? It’s the same texture as I saw in the video.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Shall we go inside?”

As Yoo-hyun, who was facing him, guided him, he asked.

“Can I check the factory process?”

“I told them. But they don’t know who you are. They just think you’re my friend from abroad.”

“That’s what I wanted. I don’t want to be a bother.”

Andrea Gurski nodded agreeably and followed Yoo-hyun.

He looked around as he walked.

His gait showed his easygoing personality.

Yoo-hyun remembered what Laura Parker had told him.

-Andrea pursues naturalness like his free-spirited personality. Just show him as you are, and he’ll be satisfied.

It wasn’t just because of her advice that he didn’t tell the employees about Andrea Gurski’s existence.

He wanted to show them his usual self, rather than a stiff one to impress them.

He was confident enough to do that.

Chiing! Chiing!

The various machines in the factory were running as usual.

Just then, a clay transport vehicle entered the front of the factory.

Kururururu!

A large amount of clay poured out and went into the crusher along the line.

Thanks to that, Andrea Gurski was able to check the brick manufacturing process from the beginning.

Yoo-hyun briefly introduced Andrea Gurski to the employees who were working, and explained the parts he knew as he walked around the factory.

“The crushed clay goes through a mixing process and then a molding process…”

“I see. I thought it was weird when I saw the video, but you modified the molding equipment, didn’t you?”

“Is there a problem?”

“No. It seems efficient. This way, you can mix according to the mold. Can I know how you manage the replaced molding equipment?”

Andrea Gurski had a keen eye that pierced the core without exchanging a few words.

Yoo-hyun felt that he couldn’t handle it alone, so he looked for an expert.
