Real Man

He wanted to check somehow, and he had a desire to learn if there was anything lacking.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked at Yoo-hyun with a very serious expression.

‘Kid. He’s very serious.’

Yoo-hyun felt a little uncomfortable with Deputy Kwon Se-jung, but the situation was not bad.

There was no better opportunity to open up Deputy Kwon Se-jung’s mind.

He had to make sure of his direction so that Yoo-hyun could do other things.

It was when Yoo-hyun was drawing the future situation.

Executive Hong Il-seop, who was making a routine greeting, showed his true colors.

“Manager Han, do you know what I thought when I heard the proposal you made?”

“I thought that our group should never do this work.”

“That’s a reasonable thought, sir.”

Yoo-hyun immediately agreed with Executive Hong Il-seop’s words, which drew a line from the start.

Executive Hong Il-seop asked with a puzzled expression, as if it was unexpected.

“Why do you think so?”

“The detailed technical information I reported to you was greatly helped by the OLED mobile product manager. And the overall direction setting was supported by the strategic product planning manager.”

“Hmm, so?”

“It’s a work that requires pouring resources from the strategic product group, so I thought you wouldn’t want it. Because OLED commercialization is that important.”

Executive Hong Il-seop was a stone that rolled into Hansung Electronics.

He was already weak, and his work was OLED, which was overshadowed by LCD.

He had no room to look elsewhere in this situation where OLED success was difficult.

Executive Hong Il-seop nodded his head at Yoo-hyun’s words, which pierced his true intentions.

“That’s right. That’s why the strategic product group exists.”

“I also think that OLED is definitely necessary for the future, and that the strategic product group should play that role.”

“I know that well, so the conversation will be easy. Then what are you going to do?”

“I got a contact from CTO (research institute). It’s not a bad direction to gather people who are working on related technologies there and form an organization.”

“CTO, huh… Not bad.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who was listening with bated breath, was absurd.

‘What the hell are you talking about?’

You should never be in CTO if you want to commercialize quickly.

If that’s the case, there was no point in announcing it in front of the executives at the TF launch ceremony.

While Deputy Kwon Se-jung was rolling his eyes.

Yoo-hyun, who was catching the timing by looking at Executive Hong Il-seop’s expression, said regretfully.

“I think it’s okay, too. But I’m worried about one thing.”

“Worried?”

“Yes. There are some parts that overlap with OLED in the initial version of semiconductor display. You have to use OLED deposition equipment and process lines, so I think it will interfere.”

“We have to support that much.”

“That’s why I’m worried. You’re supporting us a lot, but it’s not a fruitful work for the group.”

As long as the subject is CTO, the strategic product group was nothing more than a supporter, no matter how much they helped.

The board line was in the semiconductor company, and the OLED development line belonged to the strategic product group, but it was like taking the fruit from another organization.

“Hmm.”

Executive Hong Il-seop hesitated, as if it was too precious to give to others, even if it was a bitter persimmon.

As expected, Yoo-hyun dug deeper into this part.

“If that’s the case, I think it would be better for the other people to come to the strategic product group.”

“CTO personnel come over?”

“Yes. People who research related circuits, panels, devices, materials, etc. come over. Isn’t that more reasonable in many ways?”

“Do you think they will hand over their personnel for the sake of semiconductor display, which has no foundation?”

No leader would give up that many people to another organization, no matter how much it was for work.

Yoo-hyun did not answer the reasonable question, but raised a hypothetical situation.

“What if there is no choice but to do that?”

“No choice but to do that?”

“Yes. If there is a valid reason for the personnel to come over, our group can become a leading organization with OLED and semiconductor display as two axes.”

Yoo-hyun used the vague expression ‘valid reason’, but subtly said ‘our group’.

It was a risky move, but the tempting assumption that Yoo-hyun made blurred Executive Hong Il-seop’s judgment.

He imagined the picture in his head and nodded.

“It would be bigger.”

“It’s a new business axis. It would be too much for our group to handle.”

“Too much for the group…”

Do you want to be satisfied with being a group leader?

The words that Yoo-hyun uttered came up in Executive Hong Il-seop’s mind as a completely different question.

It was estimated that it would take about four years for OLED to achieve meaningful success compared to LCD.

That was only possible if they made a tremendous advance.

A way to become a business unit without going through this difficult process opened up in front of him, and Executive Hong Il-seop’s expression changed.

Yoo-hyun spat out a word that nailed him down, seeing him smiling at the corners of his mouth.

“I think the strategic product group should not be an organization that competes with LCD or other company’s OLED, but an organization that can completely change the paradigm.”

“…”

“That way, we can draw out the latent demand of customers that no one can find, and that way, Hansung Display has a future.”

-That guy, he likes to say ‘change the paradigm’. He also hates being dragged around. That’s why he tried to do something new when he was in charge of promotion.

The habit of language shows the person’s inherent desire.

As if to prove Kim Sung-deuk’s words, Executive Hong Il-seop’s pupils shook.

He soon straightened his posture and leaned forward.

His face was flushed, but there was no negative emotion, but rather impatience.

“Semiconductor display makes that possible, right?”

“It’s possible if you lead it, sir.”

“Me?”

“Yes. There is only one person in our company who is an OLED expert, knows semiconductor display well, and has made the final product.”

As Yoo-hyun pointed out, Executive Hong Il-seop showed a sense of mission.

“That’s right. I was the first one to apply semiconductor display to the HMD (head mount display) made by the Future Product Research Institute.”

“I saw it in the company magazine. I also thought of that and suggested the idea.”

“I see. Then you must know why it failed.”

“I know why we have to do it in our company.”

Instead of answering the trivial question, Yoo-hyun showed his vision, and Executive Hong Il-seop smiled for the first time.

“Hehe. That’s right. We have the equipment and experts here. Maybe we can even absorb the Future Product Research Institute.”

“We have to grow our strength quickly to do that.”

“You seem to have an idea.”

Executive Hong Il-seop seemed to have made up his mind, and asked for the method.

Only then did a concrete plan flow out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.

“Yes, I do. First of all…”

The document contained a lot of elements that Deputy Kwon Se-jung was worried about.

‘He just spilled everything.’

Deputy Kwon Se-jung bit his tongue, but Vice President Hong Il-seop smiled instead.

He seemed to have made up his mind, even though he was in the most pressured situation.

“Haha. It sounds like you’re asking me to start a war with another department.”

“This is something that the president supports and the head of the innovation strategy department backs up. It’s not a dirty fight.”

Yoo-hyun diluted the pressure that Vice President Hong felt by involving a third party.

Squeak.

Vice President Hong’s lips curled up for a moment.

Clank.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who came out of the office, gave a hollow laugh.

“Huh. I’m such a fool.”

“What? Is there a problem?”

“It’s just a self-reproach.”

“What do you mean?”

Looking at Yoo-hyun, who was puzzled, Deputy Kwon Se-jung recalled the words he had engraved in his heart.

-To persuade someone, you have to give them what they want.

‘I thought I had learned enough.’

He thought he had convinced Vice President Hong as Yoo-hyun had told him, but it was a complete mistake.

He had only explained the semiconductor display technology without knowing the background of the other party.

This series of actions only made Vice President Hong’s view more negative.

“Sigh.”

He sighed involuntarily at the thought that he still had a long way to go.

Yoo-hyun smiled at his colleague, who showed a weak side for the first time in a while.

“Let’s go and talk.”

“Yeah, I have a lot to sort out.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung nodded and followed Yoo-hyun.

When they returned to the office, Jang Jun-sik was still focused.

Tadadadadak.

Yoo-hyun drank a beverage from the refrigerator, using the keyboard typing sound as background noise.

Meanwhile, Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who followed him, called Jang Jun-sik.

“Jun-sik, let’s make some documents.”

“What kind of documents?”

“A simple outline and interdepartmental cooperation matters. We’ll send them to the key executives.”

“Oh, I already made them.”

“What? When?”

When Deputy Kwon Se-jung asked in surprise, Jang Jun-sik answered right away.

“When you went to the meeting with the group leader.”

“You didn’t even have to do that.”

“I heard you two talking earlier, and I thought it would be needed soon.”

“Did you think the group leader would support us?”

“Yes. That’s why he went there.”

“Ha. You’re better than me.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung bit his tongue, looking at Jang Jun-sik, who spoke as if it was obvious.

Yoo-hyun, who approached, patted his colleague’s shoulder.

“Why are you so down?”

“No. I just learned a lot today.”

“You did well, man.”

“I did well? I just messed up because I was too eager.”

“It was thanks to your hard work that I was able to persuade him today. Do you think he would have changed his mind so easily otherwise?”

“You don’t have to comfort me. I know it’s all because of you.”

He wouldn’t have regretted it if he hadn’t tried.

Yoo-hyun told his colleague, who was still growing, one more fact.

“No. You would have done it eventually. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Because we’re running out of time. If the CTO had really contacted us, he would have chosen us too. I just…”

Yoo-hyun’s answer made Deputy Kwon Se-jung incredulous.

“What? The CTO didn’t contact us?”

“No. I was on vacation all this time.”

“Then how are you going to bring people from the CTO?”

“That’s for the group leader to worry about.”

“What? You said earlier that the situation was inevitable.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung was dumbfounded.

Jang Jun-sik, who was checking his email, shouted.

“Our department has been created.”

“Already?”

Yoo-hyun went over and looked at the screen.

The mouse cursor was on the organizational chart in the internal system.

Click.

When he pressed the button, familiar names were listed in a hierarchical structure.

-Strategic Product Group > Future Technology TF > Han Yoo-hyun, Kwon Se-jung, Jang Jun-sik

It was a department with only three people, but it felt different when it had a name.

As Yoo-hyun took in the organizational chart, Deputy Kwon Se-jung thought again.

‘He made him greedy with a tempting offer.’

Yoo-hyun didn’t need to tell him how to bring people in detail.

It was enough to make Vice President Hong impatient.

In the end, the important thing was not the trivial methods.

Yoo-hyun showed him that if he could stimulate the other’s desire, he could skip that step.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked at Yoo-hyun, who had gained insight.

Zing.

Yoo-hyun checked the message and handed his phone to Deputy Kwon Se-jung.

-I received a call from Vice President Hong. Please let me know the date and I will arrange a meeting right away. Future Product Research Center Kim Hak-il.

“Isn’t the group leader too impatient?”

“The director was right.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who saw the screen, suddenly spoke politely, making Yoo-hyun confused.

“What? Are you mad because I didn’t tell you the answer earlier?”

“No. I found the answer myself. And the department announcement came out, so I have to be respectful.”

“Gross. If you keep doing that, I’ll only hang out with Jun-sik.”

“I still have a lot to learn, so I can’t do that.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung lowered his tail to Yoo-hyun, who was disgusted.
