Real Man-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.

“Yes, group leader.”

As soon as Yoo-hyun answered the phone, a serious voice of Hong Il Seop, the executive director, came from the other side.

-You must be on your way to Anyang by now.

“We are going according to the briefing time.”

-I see. I’ve made an appointment with Mr. Park, the executive director, as you requested. The time will overlap with the briefing time.

“That’s fine. I should see the executive director first.”

-Right. Then I’ll tell you what I suggested. What I said was…

Hong Il Seop, the executive director, had reached out to Park Bum Jin, the executive director, for reconciliation, but it didn’t work out.

Even though it was a good offer, the emotional part was too twisted.

After listening for a while, Hong Il Seop, the executive director, said apologetically to Yoo-hyun.

-I wonder if I gave you too much burden.

“It was my request. And you said you would grant my favor if I handled it well, didn’t you?”

-Yes. If you can solve it well, I’ll support you with anything.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and ended the call with Hong Il Seop, the executive director.

As soon as Yoo-hyun put down his phone, Kwon Se Jun, the assistant manager, who had been listening attentively, asked.

“Are you going to meet Mr. Park, the executive director?”

“Yes, I’m going to see him while I’m there. The group leader said he had told him.”

“Is it because of the organizational transfer issue?”

Kwon Se Jun asked with a meaningful question, and Yoo-hyun answered with a straight face.

“That’s part of it, and I also need his support for the future.”

“You’re going to get that from Mr. Park, the executive director, who is furious?”

“Then who should I get it from? The people and the technology are all supported by the CTO, aren’t they?”

Most of the development staff in charge of future products belonged to the CTO.

Even if they were detached from the organization, they had to be under the influence of the CTO for a while.

For a stable organizational operation, Yoo-hyun had to mend the relationship with the CTO as soon as possible.

Of course, he also had something to get from Hong Il Seop, the executive director, in this process.

He asked as if it was obvious, and Kwon Se Jun imitated Kim Hak Il, the team leader, again.

“You’re really disgusting.”

“You’re making that sound again?”

“Don’t you know how painful it is to hit the back of Mr. Park’s head again?” freēnovelkiss.com

“Why are you hitting the back of someone who’s staying still? I’m going to give and take.”

Yoo-hyun cut him off, and Kwon Se Jun shrugged his shoulders.

“Haha! Bong Kim Seon Dal is giving and taking, isn’t that too one-sided?”

“Stop talking nonsense and pay attention to the briefing. The people’s complaints must be no joke.”

“Why? Because of moving from the research institute to the business division?”

“Is that the only problem? The workplace will change too.”

This part was something that Jung Hyun-woo would take care of a lot, but there were expected difficulties.

Still, Kwon Se Jun seemed confident.

“I prepared for that. I checked all the complaints while reading the email.”

“Have you ever managed people from other departments?”

“Is it different from having a meeting?”

Yoo-hyun recited his living experience to his puzzled colleague.

“Try it once. It won’t be easy. You should experience it too, Jun Sik.”

“Yes.”

Jang Jun Sik answered loudly and stepped on the accelerator.

Vroom.

The car carrying three people slid along the highway.

Yoo-hyun said it wouldn’t be easy, but Kwon Se Jun was honestly skeptical.

But soon after, he changed his mind when he sat down in the conference room on the fifth floor of the Anyang Display Research Center.

It was because of the sharp voices that poured out from everywhere before the briefing started.

“Mr. Hyun, what will happen if the organization is created so suddenly? You didn’t say anything like that.”

“What about my family if I move to Ulsan?”

“Our team leader is furious and says he was betrayed.”

“We are already enemies with the CTO. How can we face our colleagues in the future?”

“I’ll coordinate that. So…”

Hyun Geun Young, the senior researcher who gathered the organization, tried to calm them down, but the complaints didn’t seem to subside easily.

It was more serious because personal matters were involved, not work-related issues.

The side effect of the radical organizational restructuring was clearly visible.

In front of the people’s problems that he experienced for the first time, Kwon Se Jun broke out in a cold sweat.

“How do we deal with this?”

“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.
