Chapter 630:

The impressive presentation continued in the next session.

Manager Shin Nak-gyun summarized his analysis of the competitor, Ilsung, with a unique perspective.

“Ilsung established its foundation through collaboration with Google in Mercury 1, and then succeeded in both Mercury 2 and Mercury Note at the same time...”

He covered the basics of what was generally known, such as Ilsung Electronics’ all-in software strategy, OLED and self-developed AP application, and large-screen smartphone market development with pen touch.

He also mentioned the internal activities of each department of Ilsung Electronics, the connection between subsidiaries, and the changes in the production system with specific examples.

Deputy Jung Hyun-woo exclaimed in admiration.

“How did he know all that?”

It was surprising, because the information that Manager Shin Nak-gyun talked about was something that could not be known unless there was an informant in Ilsung.

No one would hand over Ilsung’s data just because they asked for it.

He must have checked it out little by little through his network of subsidiaries or Ilsung before he came here.

That meant he put a lot of effort into it.

Although he pretended not to, Yoo-hyun could see his hidden efforts.

The ‘test’ disguised as three presentations passed by in an instant.

It was a presentation that exceeded a certain level, so no one gave a big tackle.

Instead of wasting their energy on trivial things, they seemed to focus on the final ‘confrontation’.

Team Leader Na Do-yeon, who had a refreshing personality, moved on to the next topic right away.

“Let’s just go over the core points briefly. I think everyone here will understand that.”

“Yes. I understand.”

The tension rose at Team Leader Na Do-yeon’s words.

The group strategy team and the mobile phone business team, who were sitting face to face, exchanged glances.

There was someone who widened their eyes even more in the meantime.

It was Deputy Jang Jun-sik.

-Manager, how can we have a confrontation with just a concept? We don’t even know what technology is applicable, or how much it will cost.

-If you’re curious, just watch. It might help you.

Yoo-hyun recalled the conversation he had with him a while ago, and looked at Deputy Hong Seung-jae, who stood on the podium.

His firm expression showed his preparation.

Behind him was a title screen that broke the frame of the existing Hansung report.

Just by looking at this, he could tell that this presentation was not a simple content delivery.

The presentation was conducted by Deputy Hong Seung-jae and Deputy Choi Gyu-tae for 10 minutes each.

The Q&A session was after both presentations were over.

Nod.

At the signal of Team Leader Na Do-yeon’s chin gesture, Deputy Hong Seung-jae started the presentation first.

“We focused on the design as the differentiation point of the smartphone...”

The key words went by quickly with the explanation.

Soon, a rendering image that looked like a real device appeared on the screen.

It was quite high quality, as if it had been made in advance through the design center.

It felt more like a new product launch than a technical report.

Deputy Jang Jun-sik flinched at the unexpected preparation.

He looked quite surprised, but this was just the beginning.

Nothing could be more beautiful than this.

A catchphrase was overlaid on the rendering image.

This phrase alone made Deputy Hong Seung-jae’s concept clear.

He did not stop there, but explained the specific manufacturing process and the realistic specs that would be used here.

It was impressive that he considered the battery life according to the next-generation OS version and hardware.

In this way, Deputy Hong Seung-jae provided evidence for all the technologies he showed.

For the technologies that were still under development, he backed up his claims by mentioning the detailed plans of the subsidiaries.

Deputy Hong Seung-jae was not the only one who prepared thoroughly.

Deputy Choi Gyu-tae, who followed him, also presented a formidable content.

“While the design differentiation of the full-touch phone has its limits, the performance is...”

He emphasized the performance rather than the design, and clearly presented his concept.

Fast, long-lasting, and practical.

Then he presented the data that matched the catchphrase.

Ultra-fast AP, LTE modem, high-capacity battery, high-pixel camera, high-resolution display, etc.

He combined all the parts that were under development and created the final product.

He also considered the synergy between the subsidiaries to improve the problematic elements.

In this way, the opinions of both sides were constantly parallel.

They clashed fiercely, but the answer did not come easily.

In the end, it had to be sorted out by someone.

It was when the tense tug-of-war continued.

“Wait a minute.”

“...”

Team Leader Na Do-yeon, who stopped both sides with one word, scanned the people.

They felt it was the moment of choice, and the tension rose.

Gulp.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who had nothing to do with it, swallowed his saliva.

Yoo-hyun was also curious about how she would step in.

In the silence, Team Leader Na Do-yeon made eye contact with Yoo-hyun.

What?

Yoo-hyun felt a sense of anxiety in his mind for a moment, and she said something out of the blue.

“Manager Han, summarize it.”

“Me?”

“Yes. The person who has the method should do it.”

She said it as if it was obvious, and it was absurd to Yoo-hyun.

Regardless of Yoo-hyun’s emotions, the people looked at Yoo-hyun’s mouth with serious expressions.

It seemed as if Yoo-hyun was deciding everything.

He had to clear up the misunderstanding, and Yoo-hyun straightened his posture.

-You wouldn’t have started if you weren’t confident. Then you must know the method, right?

He said the answer he gave to Team Leader Na Do-yeon’s question a while ago.

It was the most needed word at this point.

“There is a way to get both design and performance.”

“What? Do you have a great AP that we don’t know about?”

Deputy Hong Seung-jae sneered at the absurd remark.

It was obvious, since there was no alternative to Qualcomm.

Yoo-hyun shook his head right away.

“Not AP.”

“Then?”

“Modem.”

“Modem?”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.

At the same time, Paul Graham was in the JK Communications office in Silicon Valley.

He had an LTE modem chip that had just completed its first test the day before.

“A modem that is 100% compatible with the latest Qualcomm AP... Does it make it much faster if you use this?”

Hyun Jin-gun, who was sitting across from him, nodded.

“Yes. LTE performance alone is five times faster than 3G. It’s more effective than skipping two generations of AP.”

“And this doesn’t have the defects of the existing Qualcomm LTE modem, right?”

“The numbers show that the heat generation has improved by 40% and the power consumption has decreased by 30%. That means the battery life will increase.”

Paul Graham licked his tongue again, as if it was unbelievable to hear.

“It’s really ridiculous. How can a different modem be more compatible than the one they made?”

“Qualcomm made a mistake.”

“It seems like the one who made a mistake is you, who kicked away the opportunity to sit on a money cushion.”

He teased Hyun Jin-gun’s judgment to supply exclusively to Hansung.

But Hyun Jin-gun was calm.

“It’s hard to get a fair price from Ilsung and Apple with product sales, not technology transfer.”

“Because they both produce their own AP?”

“That’s right. They are already producing APs to reduce the problems of Qualcomm LTE modems. But Hansung has no choice but to look at us until the improved products come out.”

“So you chose Hansung for business, not for friendship with Steve.”

“Yes. I’m a businessman, too.”

Hyun Jin-gun smiled slyly, and Paul Graham licked his tongue.

“Steve and you are really unstoppable. Well, that’s why I’m looking forward to this Hansung smartphone.”

With curiosity, Paul Graham’s eyes had deep wrinkles.
