Chapter 243
Instead of answering, Yoo-hyun threw a question back at him with a stiff expression.
“Didn’t you say the report to the Future Product Research Institute didn’t go well?”
“Yeah. The business director and the group leader went together and got scolded a lot. I heard OLED did a good job preparing too.”
“I see.”
“Do you think we’ll be any different?”
“We’ll be different. I’ll make sure it works.”
“What if it doesn’t…”
Yoo-hyun answered confidently, and Senior Go Seong Cheol bit his lower lip.
He was frowning as he spoke, but he turned back to his seat before he finished his sentence.
His face still showed resentment.
Yoo-hyun muttered to himself as he watched his back.
“It will work no matter what.”
Yoo-hyun didn’t just say that.
He was already 100 percent sure.
People didn’t know it, but the political landscape was changing to make the deal inevitable.
Click.
Yoo-hyun checked the greeting from the business director that appeared on the announcement.
-LCD Business Division is pursuing a merger with Future Product Research Institute to achieve innovative technology leap…
It was not long ago that he heard the news of the sudden merger with Future Product Research Institute.
It was only a few days after reporter Oh Eun Bi posted her previous article.
Yoo-hyun confirmed through this that the LCD business director was under pressure.
It was likely that the vice minister of economy had intervened.
-The business director got scolded a lot for the report to Future Product Research Institute.
And a little while ago, he guessed the situation through Senior Go Seong Cheol’s words.
The business director was in a very urgent state right now.
He criticized OLED strongly because of that.
It was natural, since Il Sung was investing in the factory, but their side was not ready with the product.
Click.
Yoo-hyun clicked on the follow-up news of reporter Oh Eun Bi that appeared on the portal site this morning.
<The different moves of Han Sung and Il Sung. No innovative technology to run OLED factory?>
The views were rising sharply, perhaps because it compared the two rival companies, Han Sung and Il Sung.
The previous news of Han Sung’s technology leakage to China, corruption in Ulsan factory, Il Sung’s OLED investment news, etc. contributed to the impact of this news.
There were a lot of comments for an IT news.
-Il Sung is making Choi Min Yong the crown prince with OLED, what is Han Sung doing?
-Isn’t OLED the future display? Why don’t they do it?
-They don’t do it because they can’t. Sony also gave up on that.
-But China is investing a lot in LCD, right? They should have something new.
-Han Sung will just give it to China and go bankrupt.
The comments were also quite high-level.
OLED products were not yet popularized.
Despite that, the netizens knew that LCD was not enough.
There had been too many news about display innovation.
The experts in this field could not be ignorant of what even ordinary people knew.
And there were many people involved in this.
These circumstances were whipping the impatient LCD business director hard.
What was he feeling right now?
“Maybe I’ll see him soon.”
Yoo-hyun smiled slightly.
A few days later, inside the LCD business director’s office on the 14th floor of Hanseong Tower.
There, Yoo Tae-sik, the mobile group director, was facing Vice President Lim Jun-pyo.
Vice President Lim said with a stiff expression.
“It’s a mess everywhere. They say we have no innovative technology.”
“Yes. I heard.”
He sighed deeply and said, “If only we had something to show, things would calm down a bit…”
Seeing him like that, Director Yoo Tae-sik calmly said, “We do have an idea that we came up with this time.”
“Is it the one you mentioned last time? Something you did at the OLED factory?”
“Yes. It’s a super-high-resolution LCD panel using OLED substrates.”
“So it’s still half-baked, isn’t it?”
It was a natural question from Vice President Lim Jun-pyo’s perspective.
They used the OLED factory to make a mere LCD panel.
That wouldn’t be enough to avoid the media’s scrutiny.
Then, Director Yoo Tae-sik dropped a bombshell.
“No. It’s a resolution that OLED can never match.”
“Really? Even Il-sung can’t do it?”
“Yes. I’m sure of it.”
Was it because he said they were ahead of Il-sung?
Vice President Lim’s expression changed in an instant.
“Can I join the meeting too?”
“Of course. I’ll get it ready.”
Director Yoo Tae-sik nodded as if he expected it.
At that moment.
Hanseong Electronics 12th floor small conference room.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min scoffed at the presentation material prepared by Section Chief Kim Young-gil.
“Is this how you’re going to present it?”
“Yes. Yoo-hyun said he wanted the order to be like this.”
“Huh, really? Is this what you’re going to say in front of the group director?”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min shook his head.
The report was full of nonsense.
Then, Section Chief Kim Young-gil cautiously said, “Yoo-hyun said the business director might attend too.”
“Really? I didn’t hear anything about that.”
“It’s not decided yet. I’m just preparing in case.”
“What is Yoo-hyun thinking?”
“I don’t know. He seemed busy with the demo preparation too.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min thought for a moment and smiled slyly.
“That sounds interesting. Let’s go together.”
“What? What about the second presentation of the innovation planning contest?”
“Why do I need to go there? I’ll go to the final presentation.”
“But Vice Director Choi might be disappointed.”
“Ah, it’s fine.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min waved his hand.
His face was full of smiles.
As Team Leader Kim Hyun-min was having a fun imagination, there was a dark cloud over the second floor conference room of the Ulsan 4th factory.
There, in a place set up in the same environment as the group director’s pre-demo, Executive Director Go Jun-ho’s eyes flashed.
He pointed at the demo module on the table, which consisted of four 1.8-inch panels connected, and spat out sharp words.
“Team Leader Kim, come on, this is too cumbersome.”
“I thought it would be better to show the reality.”
Senior Kim Ho-gil, who was explaining from the side, immediately retorted.
That attitude only made Executive Director Go Jun-ho more angry.
“Stop talking nonsense! Get rid of those messy things right now.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Section Chief Kim Ho-gil bowed his head belatedly.
Executive Director Go Jun-ho’s gaze moved to Manager Jung In-wook next to him.
He was standing upright next to the spec board placed behind the table.
“And Manager Jung.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Can you see the letters on the spec board?”
“Not very well. I’ll change it right away.”
Manager Jung In-wook apologized before Executive Director Go Jun-ho could get angry.
Yoo-hyun, who was watching the scene with his teammates a step away, smiled inwardly.
It was because of Manager Jung In-wook’s tactful behavior.
By lowering his head and agreeing like that, Executive Director Go Jun-ho had a hard time getting mad.
As expected, a somewhat softer answer came out.
“Fine. Print it again. And use some Hanseong colors.”
“Understood.”
Executive Director Go Jun-ho’s next target was Senior Maeng Gi-yong, who was explaining the technology.
He contradicted the explanation that Senior Maeng Gi-yong had given earlier.
“It’s good that you corrected the screen stains with a camera, this is. But do you have to make every panel like this?”
“No. There’s no need for that if the panels come out normally.”
“How can you be sure of that, Senior Maeng?”
“That’s…”
As Senior Maeng Gi-yong hesitated, Executive Director Go Jun-ho snapped at him.
“What are you doing now? Is this demo a joke?”
“No, no.”
“Think a little before you come in!”
Executive Director Go Jun-ho’s anger did not end there.
He paid attention to every detail from the demo preparation to the posture.
Yoo-hyun just watched him calmly.
‘He’s meticulous.’
They didn’t have to prepare this much.
Yoo-hyun thought that the game was already tilted.
Maybe they didn’t even need a demo.
But he still thought positively about this process.
They all worked hard and cared, so the results would be sweet.
Time passed a little more, and the game started to tilt as Yoo-hyun expected.
There was someone who felt it before anyone else.
It was Executive Director Lee Tae-ryong, the third in charge.
He visited the fourth in charge’s office and said to Executive Director Go Jun-ho with a smile.
“Senior, long time no see. Haha!”
“Yeah. You’re not here for nothing, are you? What’s up?”
“Well, I just wanted to see you and say hello.”
Lee Tae-ryong brushed off Go Jun-ho’s prickly words lightly.
Then Go Jun-ho shot back sharply.
“Stop the nonsense and get to the point.”
“I heard you’re going to report the project to the group director soon.”
“Why?”
“Of course I have to pay attention to anything related to Apple. Aren’t we the experts in that field? Haha.”
For a moment, Director Go Jun-ho’s brow furrowed.
He knew that this hyena-like man would not covet a rotten meal.
Director Go Jun-ho, who had been observing Director Lee Tae-ryong’s expression, casually asked.
“Is this related to why the business director suddenly joined the report?”
“Who knows? How can I read the business director’s mind?”
“I see. He must have liked your reaction, then.”
“Haha. I can’t beat you in reading the mood, senior. Anyway, please help me out, senior.”
Director Lee Tae-ryong smiled and reached out his hand.
Director Go Jun-ho, who snickered inwardly, hid his expression and shook his hand.
Finally, the day of the group leader’s report arrived.
The front of the conference room on the first floor of the Ulsan 4th factory was busy from the morning.
The people from the Preceding Product Team 1st Part had all come out and arranged a large table, and placed the demo module on it.
The newly printed spec board also shone nicely.
Everything was getting organized neatly.
But then, the face of Lee Jin-mok, the team leader who was touching the demo module, suddenly turned pale.
He spoke to Jung In-wook, the manager next to him, with a trembling voice.
“Ma, manager, the power suddenly went off.”
“Crazy! Hey, run and get the backup one!”
“Yes! I got it!”
“Team leader, I’ll go.”
As Lee Jin-mok nodded his head, Yoo-hyun, who had come down with a box, stepped forward.
But Jung In-wook stopped Yoo-hyun and gestured with his chin.
“Yoo-hyun, you just prepare for the report or support. There are enough people here.”
The senior next to him, Maeng Ki-yong, also chimed in.
“Yeah. Don’t worry about it. We’ll handle it.”
“Okay.”
Yoo-hyun bowed his head and went into the conference room.
There, he saw Director Kim Hyun-min talking with Chief Kim Ho-geol.
Yoo-hyun passed by the two and approached Kim Young-gil, the section chief who was practicing his presentation.
“Section chief, are you ready?”
“Well, I don’t know if this is good enough.”
“You don’t have to reveal everything here.”
“That’s true, but I’m a bit nervous.”
“Don’t worry. You’ll do great.”
As Yoo-hyun cheered him up, Kim Young-gil suddenly asked.
“By the way, how are you going to deal with the business director coming?”
“I thought he would be curious too. The news has been noisy lately.”
“True. But do you think he’ll buy it?”
“He will. The atmosphere will be good too, so don’t worry.”
“I hope so. I heard the business director is very fierce.”
“You did well, judging by what you prepared. That’s enough.”
Yoo-hyun smiled with his eyes and pointed at the screen on the laptop.
He wasn’t just saying that to boost his morale.
Kim Young-gil had prepared enough, and the atmosphere was as expected.
He could tell by the fact that Director Go Jun-ho, who was anxious, hadn’t come down yet.
