-Did you hear that Manager Choi Kyu-tae offered us a price level comparable to Qualcomm’s modem chips? He seems to be a reasonable person. I think he was considerate of us.
Hyun-jin Gun was quite surprised by Manager Choi Kyu-tae’s proactive attitude, but there was a good reason for that.
Even at the same price, using JK’s modem chips would eliminate the need to pay license fees.
It would save a lot of money that would otherwise be paid proportionally to the sales volume.
Adding mass production of common varieties, the price could be reduced to the point of differentiation.
There were many things to decide in this process, but the integrated organization would sweep away all these barriers.
‘Not bad.’
Yoo-hyun skimmed through the materials he had already seen and looked at the expression of Vice President Yeo Tae-sik.
He nodded his head, indicating that he was satisfied as well.
Then, Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung came forward.
He said he was under a lot of pressure to do both his and Manager Kim Sung-deuk’s parts, but he did a good presentation.
“As for the quality, if we compare the production methods of other companies...”
He had many good suggestions, such as automated production methods, distribution system changes, etc., but especially noticeable was the quality test part.
He quantified the quality test levels of other companies and compared them with Hansung’s.
As a result, it was revealed that Hansung had been doing excessive quality verification.
For example, due to the requirement of passing a harsh drop test from a height of 2 meters 1,500 times, the design had to be bulky.
Of course, the quality process had to be fixed, but it was not easy because of the conservative nature of the quality department.
But the situation would change if this data was used as a reference.
It would not only persuade the conservative factory manager, but also standardize the quality verification methods.
This alone would make it possible to increase production efficiency and improve design at the same time.
It was definitely an insightful proposal.
The widened perspective seemed to have enhanced Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung’s strategic thinking.
He seemed to be able to draw a bigger picture with him.
Yoo-hyun nodded his head and looked at the next batter, Assistant Manager Jang Jun-sik.
He stood on the podium with a much more confident expression and started his presentation.
“The design materials suitable for smartphones are...”
Assistant Manager Jang Jun-sik introduced the overall content of the development and design parts, and then focused on the smartphone design materials. R
He did not stop at analyzing the competitors’ products, but also connected them to the manufacturing process.
He had consulted with the participating material companies in detail and made a concrete plan.
He suggested the optimal location of the antenna design and speaker for each material, and derived the correlation between the front screen and camera position, and the battery and PCB placement.
He also expanded the design idea to make the waterproof feature a differentiation point.
As a result, the future tasks of the integrated organization’s development and design departments and related affiliates were clearly organized.
A good plan has the power to move everyone.
“Good job.”
Yoo-hyun raised his thumb, and Assistant Manager Jang Jun-sik bowed his head.
Unlike before, when he was always happy, his expression was full of confidence.
Then, Assistant Manager Jung Hyun-woo walked up to the podium.
It was his first time to go on a business trip abroad, and also his first time to present in front of the person in charge.
He tried his best to stay calm in a nervous situation.
He breathed deeply and looked at the ceiling.
He always had a bright expression, but now he was very serious.
What would he show?
Yoo-hyun was interested in observing him.
Squeak.
The door opened and someone came in.
At the same time, Team Leader Na Do-yeon was surprised and got up.
“Director.”
Grunt. Grunt. Grunt.
Vice President Shin Kyung-wook gestured to the people who were getting up.
“Sit down. I’m not trying to make you stand up.”
“Welcome.”
Vice President Yeo Tae-sik greeted him, and Vice President Shin Kyung-wook apologized.
“I hope I’m not interrupting you.”
“Not at all. This is what I was going to report to you anyway.”
“Can I take a look for a while?”
“Yes. Please have a seat.”
Vice President Shin Kyung-wook sat down and received the materials from Team Leader Na Do-yeon.
He quickly skimmed through the previous content and had a brief conversation with her.
Meanwhile, Assistant Manager Jung Hyun-woo, who was standing on the podium, was completely frozen.
Shin Kyung-wook spoke to him.
“Jung, that was a good presentation.”
“Th, thank you.”
“In that sense, I’m thinking of buying a meal for the team, what do you think?”
“Great!”
Jung Hyun-woo regained his senses and answered in a loud voice.
A bright smile appeared on his face.
After the report, people came out of the conference room.
They were going to have a meal with Shin Kyung-wook.
Shuffle shuffle.
Shin Kyung-wook approached the team members he had not seen for a while.
He showed his friendliness by mentioning their names and what they had done.
Yoo-hyun followed him and watched him.
Ye Tae-sik, the executive director who was walking with him, said.
“The vice president knew it was Jung’s first presentation and clapped for him.”
“How did he know that?”
“He has the list of the innovation strategy team members in his head. He asked me about Jung’s background because it was unusual.”
“Vice President Shin cares about even the smallest things.”
“That’s because he knows how important people are.”
“That’s true.”
Shin Kyung-wook was a person who knew how to take care of his lower-ranked employees.
Only Yoo-hyun, who had reported and learned under him, did not know that.
Ye Tae-sik, the executive director, mentioned the future work to Yoo-hyun, who was recalling his past memories.
“By the way, the team direction is going well. If we execute the plan that we got from the exhibition in the integrated organization, we will have a good speed.”
“You have to support us too, sir.”
“Of course. I will mobilize the capabilities of the Home Appliances Strategy Team and the B2B Strategy Team.”
“This is getting a lot of attention in many ways.”
“It’s thanks to your support. You did a great job.”
Ye Tae-sik put his hand on Yoo-hyun’s shoulder and encouraged him.
It seemed to be going smoothly on the surface, but nothing was confirmed yet.
The war had not even started.
Above all, the reason why Yoo-hyun could create the situation he wanted was thanks to the sacrifice of his other colleagues.
Beep beep.
Yoo-hyun, who opened the door and came out of the 8th floor entrance, pointed that out.
“I didn’t do anything. And the others suffered more than me.”
“True. The Infrastructure Strategy Team is in a stormy night.”
“They still supported us a lot in that situation. They also moved the Management Strategy Team for us.”
“We have to help them too. We are running for the same goal, aren’t we?”
“That’s right.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head at that moment.
Shin Kyung-wook, who was already in the elevator, gestured to him.
He followed him in and Shin Kyung-wook asked him with a playful expression.
“What were you talking about so interestingly?”
“We were guessing what kind of lunch you would buy for us.”
“Did you find the answer?”
“We have no clue.”
Yoo-hyun joked and Shin Kyung-wook smiled and nodded to Jung Hyun-woo.
“Haha. Why don’t you ask Jung? He seems to know the restaurants well.”
“Of course.”
Jung Hyun-woo answered confidently and Shin Kyung-wook smiled.
“Since there are curious people, why don’t you tell them?”
“If I have to say the place for this meal, it’s one of the best restaurants in Gangnam...”
Jung Hyun-woo recited the restaurant information, receiving the attention.
It was a burdensome situation, but his expression was full of vitality.
He finally showed the side that he had hidden after moving to the Innovation Strategy Team.
Shin Nak-kyun shook his head and the others shrugged their shoulders.
The atmosphere became very light.
It was the sight of the Mobile Phone Strategy Team that became more united.
