Chapter 538:

Yoo-hyun chuckled as he saw his colleagues overreacting.

“So? Are you curious why I was so confident?”

“Of course. Did you really think that Shinwa Semiconductor would make you an offer?”

Yoo-hyun didn’t see any reason to hide it, so he answered honestly.

“I thought they wouldn’t show a negative reaction, at least.”

“Why? You didn’t have a deep conversation with them, did you?”

“I knew they had some issues to deal with.”

Yoo-hyun recalled the message he had received from Hyun Jin-geon Gun a while ago.

-Yoo-hyun, I followed your advice and requested Shinwa Semiconductor to mass-produce the 4G modem chip. But they rejected it, saying the expected quantity was too large and the timing was too fast. They offered good terms, though.

Hyun Jin-geon Gun had completed the design of the 4G modem chip and chose Shinwa Semiconductor as the production factory.

But as Yoo-hyun had guessed, Shinwa Semiconductor refused it.

Why did they turn down such an attractive offer?

“Issues?”

“Yeah. There must be some problem with their new semiconductor line.”

“Oh, you mean the one that Park Seung-woo Manager mentioned in his report?”

“Right.”

“But how is that related to us?”

-The new line of Shinwa Semiconductor has not confirmed any products with ultra-precision process. It is presumed that there is a problem in the process.

Just like Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager was puzzled, the one-line comment by Park Seung-woo Manager seemed irrelevant to the semiconductor display.

But Yoo-hyun saw a hidden opportunity in the same comment.

“Our board is much simpler and easier than other semiconductor ICs.”

“So?”

“So, even if there is a problem in the factory, it might be possible to produce it.”

“Ah.”

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then straightened his posture.

Then he asked with a completely immersed look.

“Okay, let’s say that’s true. But is that enough evidence? We already have a bad history with the Future Product Research Lab, don’t we?”

“There’s another evidence that you provided.”

“Me?”

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager looked surprised, but Yoo-hyun calmly continued.

“Yeah. Think about the email you sent to Shinwa Semiconductor. You mentioned a lot of quantity, didn’t you?”

“That was just to lure them in.”

“I thought it would work. They might have thought they could cover up the factory problem with that amount of quantity.”

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager was amazed by Yoo-hyun’s answer.

“Wow. Did you know that and gently hooked Kim Hakil Team Leader?”

“Thanks to that, it was resolved easily, right?”

“Wow. You’re amazing, Kang-taegong. You’re really awesome.”

“Don’t overdo it.”

“Haha. So now we just need to focus on Shinwa Semiconductor?”

They had obtained the technical infrastructure through the Future Product Research Lab, and now it was time to secure the production infrastructure.

These two were the most important things he had repeatedly said, but the situation had changed a bit.

At this point, Yoo-hyun’s expression became slightly serious.

“No. You don’t have to worry too much about that part.”

“Why? We have to prepare a lot if we want to get the result in one meeting, right?”

“Do you think Kim Hakil Team Leader will sit still? He will try harder than us to make it happen.”

As Yoo-hyun said, Kim Hakil Team Leader was in a desperate situation.

He was so eager that he even cut some octopus and handed it to Yoo-hyun at the dinner table.

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager was dumbfounded by the memory.

“What’s this, why is everything going so smoothly?”

“We’ve only climbed one mountain. Don’t let your guard down.”

Yoo-hyun warned, but Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager was confident.

“Don’t worry. Once we climb one, the others will be easy.”

Jang Junsik also said firmly.

“I will do my best, too.”

“You guys are fearless.”

Yoo-hyun smiled as he saw his reliable colleagues.

They had climbed one mountain, but it was not a low mountain.

Just by climbing it, their view had widened.

This was not only true for Yoo-hyun, but also for the Innovation Strategy Office.

The process department staff told him about the possibility of equipment modification, and the development planning staff told him about the related projects. It was all thanks to him.

Kim Young-gil, who took a sip of coffee, smiled with his eyes.

“I hope we all do well. How’s the work going?”

“I’m working on it one by one, but it’s not easy.”

“Hey, you convinced Laura Parker and Steve Jobs. Can’t you convince our executives?”

“I have to do it anyway, even if it’s a burden.”

Kim Young-gil looked at Yoo-hyun, who smiled brightly, and said seriously.

“I think it will go as you wish without any problem at the launch ceremony. I really do.”

“Thanks to your help.”

“What did I do? But the problem is after that.”

“What do you mean?”

“There will be some organization somehow, and it will be chaotic. OLED was no joke either. It’s still squeaking.”

He was right.

The Future Product Research Institute and Shinwa Semiconductor were good, but the work was ultimately done by people.

He had to pay attention to the organizational issue for the next step.

“That’s true. It’s useless if people don’t follow me, even if I push them.”

“Yeah. So don’t make too many enemies.”

“It’s not easy in this situation.”

“The company is a bit conservative. If you have people under you, the resentment will be bigger.”

He said it indirectly, but he meant that no one would want to work under Yoo-hyun, who was young.

It was inevitable in the Korean culture that valued seniority.

But Yoo-hyun was not unprepared for this part.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to make it.”

“Huh? Then how are you going to organize it?”

Kim Young-gil widened his eyes when he heard that.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, and Jang Junsik, who was working hard, popped out.

When he opened the door, he saw a man with long curly hair and a somewhat thin face.

“Are you CTO Hyun Kyungyoung, senior researcher? Is Han, the team leader, here?”

Yoo-hyun recognized the man and whispered to his side.

“The person who will make the organization is here.”

“Huh? He came yesterday and said very negatively.”

“That was until yesterday. Just watch.”

Yoo-hyun left Kim Young-gil, who had a puzzled expression, and got up from his seat.

Then he smiled and gestured to the table.

“Senior researcher Hyun Kyungyoung, please come this way.”

The man with a stiff expression approached Yoo-hyun.

Kim Young-gil went up to the 12th floor, and Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, and Jang Junsik sat in their seats and did their backlog work.

Tadadadadak.

The sound of typing was heard from the office table where Yoo-hyun faced Hyun Kyungyoung, the senior researcher.

They had never met before, but they had talked several times on the phone, so there was no awkwardness.

Hyun Kyungyoung, the senior researcher of the next-generation material development team, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth.

“I got a call from Kim Hakil, the team leader.”

“What did he say?”

“He mentioned the technology transfer. I honestly didn’t expect the Future Product Research Institute to move.”

“It seems to be a good timing.”

Yoo-hyun answered modestly, and Hyun Kyungyoung shook his head.

“He’s not the kind of guy who would move for such a reason. He must have given a plausible reason.”

“The Future Product Research Institute also needs our help to commercialize it.”

“Commercialize it, do you really think it will happen?”

“Don’t you think I have a reason to go around like this?”

Yoo-hyun said firmly, and Hyun Kyungyoung slightly lowered his head.

“I admire your passion, but it’s absolutely impossible.”

“Can I know why?”

“The executives who have the power have a strong cartel. If the semiconductor display is done, the power will be dispersed, and they will allow that?”

Yoo-hyun recalled the words that Ok Jong-ho, the engineer at the Ulsan factory, had told him on the phone.

-The CTO, the mobile business director, and the production technology center director were all in one place. They drank heavily after it was over, so it seemed like they had a deep conversation.

The executive vice president and vice president, who had no reason to meet, were moving in time for the launch ceremony.
