Chapter 548:

Yoo-hyun gave some advice to his junior, who had lowered his head.

“The title you see on the surface is not everything. The people who support the factory are often treated poorly, no matter how skilled they are. Our situation is different.”

“I know that from the inside.”

“Of course, there are some people who do well. But if you meet a bad boss, things can go wrong. You know that better than anyone, don’t you, Jun Sik?”

“Yes, I do.”

Jang Jun Sik nodded, recalling the harsh time he had to spend under Seong Woong Jin, the deputy manager.

Thump.

Yoo-hyun put his hand on Jang Jun Sik’s shoulder, who was sitting next to him, and continued.

“First, you should judge based on what Hyun-woo has done so far. And then, go to the briefing and see for yourself. If he really deserves it.”

“No, I will follow your will, sir.”

“No, this is about accepting our colleague. You have the right to check too.”

“...”

Jang Jun Sik looked at Yoo-hyun for a moment and bowed his head.

“Yes, I understand.”

“And you too, Se Jun.”

“I don’t care, whatever.”

Kwon Se Jun, the assistant manager, didn’t seem to have much to say about this.

Yoo-hyun hammered the final nail.

“Hyun-woo will be promoted very soon. And very fast.”

“...”

Everyone was silent.

That was a sign of agreement.

They were confident that they could become the core of Hansung.

That was certain.

As the schedule was pushed forward, Yoo-hyun also moved quickly.

He met with Hong Il Seop, the executive director, and shared the plan for the future. He also called Kim Hak Il, the team leader, and checked the progress.

The next morning, Yoo-hyun, who was on a business trip in Jang Jun Sik’s car, gave some new information.

“The Future Product Research Institute is planning to have a meeting with Google. A promotion manager has been assigned for the details and...”

After a fairly long explanation, Kwon Se Jun, the assistant manager, who was sitting and pondering the content, pointed out the core.

“So you got the permission from the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of Electronics in one shot.”

“That’s right. That’s why the promotion manager is moving.”

“Hmm, he is known to be very conservative among the foreign executives.”

“That’s right. He had a lot of complaints about the business direction proposed by the Innovation Strategy Office.”

Jang Jun Sik, who was holding the steering wheel, chimed in.

Yoo-hyun chuckled, seeing the two puzzled people.

“Are you curious why he came out so actively?”

“Of course. He even allowed us to transfer the technology, so how can we not be curious?”

“That’s right. It was something I couldn’t even imagine before.”

Jang Jun Sik had a reason that he couldn’t even imagine.

Yoo-hyun explained it by pinpointing that part.

“Of course. This is because the Innovation Strategy Office didn’t support this.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Think about it. If Vice President Shin Kyung-wook had supported this, do you think the foreign executives would have stayed still?”

“No. They would have tackled him hard.”

“Right. That’s why they accepted it quickly. And they also have Google, a reliable customer, so it would be good for them to achieve results.”

Kwon Se Jun, the assistant manager, who heard Yoo-hyun’s words, was dumbfounded.

“What? So you didn’t get any help from Vice President Shin?”

“That’s part of it.”

“Wow! This Kang-tae Gong bastard, is he now hooking up the foreign executives too?”

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s right. They are helping him acquire Shinwa Semiconductor, aren’t they?”

As Kwon Se Jun said, the foreign executives who were restraining Vice President Shin Kyung-wook more than anyone else were helping him.

And they didn’t even know that they were stepping on their own feet.

It was a ridiculous thing to think about, and Yoo-hyun’s shoulders shook involuntarily.

“Haha! Is that how it works?”

“That’s right. They would flip out if they knew...”

Kwon Se Jun was about to laugh sarcastically when it happened.

Ring. Ring.

“Ah, wait a minute. The group leader is calling.”

Yoo-hyun raised his palm to stop him and pressed the call button.

Click.

“I don’t know.”

Jang Jun Sik, who was whispering, was also in trouble.

Then, clank! The door opened and a man came in.

“So many people are here already. Nice to meet you. I’m Jung Hyun-woo. I appreciate your cooperation.”

The man with a bright smile on his face was Jung Hyun-woo.

At that moment, Yoo-hyun was sitting in the office of Park Bum Jin, the executive director, on the sixth floor.

The atmosphere was not good as expected.

Yoo-hyun didn’t flinch and told his purpose to Park Bum Jin, the executive director, who was facing him.

“Our group leader...”

Before Yoo-hyun finished his sentence, Park Bum Jin’s brow furrowed.

“No matter how plausible Mr. Hong’s offer is, it’s useless. Do you know how much damage I suffered from this?”

“I know it’s hard to run the organization with so many people gone.”

“Do you come to me with such a lame excuse when you know that?”

Park Bum Jin raised his voice, but this was just a simple negotiation strategy to suppress Yoo-hyun’s spirit.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to meet Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun didn’t back down, but shook him with an unexpected answer.

“I’m also against transferring people from the CTO to the business division.”

“What did you say?”

“The role of the Future Technology TF is to succeed in the semiconductor display, not to increase the number of people in the group.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that it doesn’t matter to my performance whether the strategic product group or the CTO leads the technology.”

Yoo-hyun drew a line, and Park Bum Jin, who had widened his eyes, was dumbfounded.

“Ha! It’s because of you that this mess happened, and that’s what you’re saying now?”

“It was inevitable because of the president’s order.”

“When you obeyed the president’s order, you didn’t care, and now you’re coming out so shamelessly.”

It was understandable from Park Bum Jin’s point of view, but that didn’t mean he had to tell him everything.

Yoo-hyun dodged the question and subtly baited him.

A bait that the cornered opponent had no choice but to bite.

“I was also surprised at first. But I thought that this could be a great opportunity for the CTO, so I decided to follow it.”

“What’s different about transferring the whole organization instead of taking people away like a subcontractor of the business division?”

Yoo-hyun used the expression ‘take away’ for the previous method, and ‘transfer’ for the current method.

It was just a difference in nuance, but these details made the opponent think twice.

Park Bum Jin, who had been suspicious, raised his eyebrows.

“What’s different about it?”

“Think about it. Most of the future product staff are from the CTO. The leader and the team leaders are all from the CTO.”

“So?”

“It means that the future product staff is the first organization made by the CTO staff. It’s the first case of the CTO incubating for the business division.”

“...”

Yoo-hyun turned the situation of being taken away into the situation of leading with one word.

He emphasized the first time and added a special meaning, and then threw a question that shook the opponent.

“Do you know where such an organization exists?”

“Where is it?”

“It’s the Future Product Research Institute.”

“What? The Future Product Research Institute?”

Yoo-hyun threw a final word that nailed him.

“Yes. The report and the collection of excellent technology and talent, the Future Product Research Institute that leads the future of Hansung Electronics.”

“That’s different from this situation.”

“How is it different? Isn’t it the same to transfer excellent technology and talent?”

“There is a continuous cycle of renewal there. As people leave, new people are filled in.”

It wasn’t just about filling in new people.

The Future Product Research Institute was an independent research institution that could focus on technology without caring about the business division.

On the other hand, the CTO had to focus on the technology that had to be commercialized immediately according to the business division’s breath.

As a result, it had to fall into a half-baked research institute.

Yoo-hyun presented a vision to Park Bum Jin, who had been through this dilemma countless times.

“That’s why the success of the future product staff is important.”

“What?”

“We have to prove that the CTO can fully lead the technology by succeeding in the future product staff. That way, we can be independent without caring about the business division.”

“That depends on the success of the future product staff?”

“Yes. That’s how the CTO can become like the Future Product Research Institute.”

Becoming like the Future Product Research Institute was not just a matter of organization.
