Real Man-Chapter 814

From the start, the exhibition hall officials had no intention of giving any attention to the Korean company.

Even if they had considered the global reputation of Hansung TV, the Japanese companies would have strongly opposed it.

They were too afraid of the risk of losing to the Korean company.

What had happened?

Yoo-hyun was pondering this question when he heard a loud voice in Korean from inside the hall.

“Where is the justice in this? They are so unreasonable, really.”

The voice sounded familiar and annoyed to anyone who heard it.

Curious, Yoo-hyun went inside and saw some men wearing Hansung name tags around their necks.

A man who looked like he was in his late forties was arguing with the exhibition hall official in Japanese.

“Please understand our position. OLED TV’s strength is its thinness. If you display it on the wall, you have to let the customers come close and see the side view.”

“This is a matter that has already been decided. There is no change.”

The exhibition hall official, who was casually looking at the four TVs attached to the wall, drew a line.

The Japanese TV company employees who were standing next to him also agreed.

There was no one on Hansung Electronics’ side.

Yoo-hyun finally understood the situation.

‘So that’s why. They were trying to rig the game from the start.’

What if Hansung came in last here?

Japanese TV beats the Korean representative company!

It would be a good publicity stunt for the Japanese companies.

In other words, Hansung was the scapegoat.

He didn’t have time to think more, as his eyes caught a middle-aged man who was glaring at the exhibition hall official.

The man, who had a stern expression, urged the man who had been confronting the Japanese official in Korean.

“Director Kang, you didn’t say that. Why are you changing it now? Ask them clearly.”

“Director Kim, I want to do that too, but they won’t listen. If we make a mistake, we might get kicked out of our contracted booth.”

“How can they kick us out? We have to speak up. Ugh, this is infuriating.”

The man who was pounding his chest was Kim Hyun-min, the director.

He was the one who led the OLED TV panel planning at Hansung Display, and he was Yoo-hyun’s former boss and mentor.

He turned his head and met Yoo-hyun’s eyes.

His eyes widened in surprise.

“Hey, Yoo-hyun!”

“Director Kim, how have you been?”

Yoo-hyun greeted him and he ran over and grabbed his hand.

He looked happy to see him, but he soon complained.

“Yoo-hyun, this is outrageous. They are all doing it in their favor.”

“Didn’t you negotiate with them?”

“Negotiate my ass. They just took out the video we submitted and used the ones that are favorable to their TVs. How is this a fair competition?”

“It’s not.”

“Right? I wish I could speak Japanese better. I would tear them apart, really.”

Kim Hyun-min raised his arms in anger.

He used to be a slacker, but now he showed a strong sense of responsibility for something that even the component company employees didn’t have to worry about.

He was a bit aggressive, but he seemed to instinctively know that he had to raise his voice to open the closed door.

‘He’s quite a leader.’

Yoo-hyun smiled and Kim Hyun-min looked incredulous.

“Why are you smiling? Do you enjoy watching this mess?”

“I was reminded of the time we went to the European exhibition together. You spoke Japanese well then.”

“Hey! That was because I had to pretend to be Japanese because of those Ilsung bastards.”

“Anyway. I’ll try to talk to them… Oh, never mind.”

Yoo-hyun turned around and saw Yoshuke Matsutaka.

He was already calling the Japanese officials and talking to them.

Meanwhile, Yoshuke Matsutaka was appalled by the demonstration method.

It was a demonstration for the general public, but they didn’t let them see the TV up close. That was absurd.

And they didn’t use normal videos, but special patterns that were favorable to LCD!

It was an unfair evaluation.

So he questioned them and suggested alternatives, but they refused.

Even now, they seemed to have made a promise and the Japanese TV company employees resisted.

“If we move the position to the center as Yoshuke-san says, we have to tear everything down and do the setting work again.”

“When will we choose and upload the videos again? This is going to be on NHK broadcast.”

“We have always done the LCD TV comparison evaluation like this. It would be troublesome if we give Hansung a special treatment.”

What? You’ve always done it like this?

He was dumbfounded, but the three company employees didn’t seem to budge.

The exhibition hall official tried to calm Yoshuke Matsutaka down.

“Please understand, Yoshuke-san. We have already talked to NHK.”

“This will be a disgrace if it’s broadcasted. Think about how the foreign media will expose the unfair evaluation method. It will only damage the image of the Japanese companies. Why don’t you understand that?”

Yoshuke Matsutaka raised his voice, but the answer was still no.

The three company employees and the exhibition hall official were united in pushing the situation.

If this went on?

‘Hansung TV will definitely lose.’ ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

This was a ridiculous abuse and outrage.

He felt ashamed as a Japanese.

Yoshuke Matsutaka didn’t bother to argue anymore and picked up his phone.

He opened his mouth as soon as the call was connected.

“Shinozaki, I need your help.”

A moment later.

Shinozaki Minami was standing in front of the four TVs displayed in the center of the hall.

She was opening her mouth in front of the camera.

Yoo-hyun was astonished to see her.

“You said you came to have fun… That was you being an NHK broadcast reporter?”

Nadohage, who was next to him, answered casually.

“She says broadcasting is fun. She used to learn acting, so maybe that’s why.”

“But why work for a magazine? She could be a broadcaster, judging by her looks and popularity.”

“Maybe she thinks it’s stressful if her hobby becomes her job. She said so herself.”

“That’s so Shinozaki-like.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and looked at Shinozaki Minami.

Thanks to her, who was in charge of the comparison demonstration, the matter was quickly settled.

-How about we make it more interesting by doing a blind evaluation instead of just a TV comparison demonstration? And using NHK’s advertisement video would also help with the promotion, don’t you think?

It was a reasonable and entertaining proposal, so the PD agreed easily.

And Yoshuke Matsutaka, who was famous as an IT expert, volunteered to do the commentary, so the PD had no reason to refuse.

The only problem was the Japanese company employees.

They were buzzing.

They were helpless in front of the people who had gathered.

It was too late to turn back. The matter had gotten too big.

Swish.

Yoo-hyun turned his head and looked at the man who was facing the exhibition hall staff.

Jang Junsik, who had joined them late, was having a conversation with the exhibition hall staff.

He thought he would stutter, but his gestures were natural and his expression was confident.

“Kid. You must have studied Japanese well.”

He wasn’t a Japan expansion manager for nothing.

Yoo-hyun felt a sense of pride as he saw his junior, who had done everything he was told, making his own career.

As soon as the setting was over, a red light came on the NHK camera.

Snap.

Shinozaki Minami, who smiled brightly, opened her mouth.

“Hello, thank you for waiting. Let’s find out the best TV in Japan based on the viewers’ evaluation! The 4-way TV special event will start now!”

With her powerful voice, the TV special event began.

Unlike the comparison demonstration, the TV special event was a way to clearly determine the winner.

The general public who participated in the event carefully examined the TV with the logo hidden, and then stuck a sticker on the part of the TV they chose on the panel divided into A, B, C, and D areas.

A total of 200 people participated.

For quite a long time, Shinozaki Minami interviewed the general public while conducting the event.

“I chose D. It was super thin and cool.”

“Me too, D. The picture quality was amazing. How much is it?”

“Of course, D. The color difference was so obvious.”

As more stickers were added to the D area, the faces of the Japanese company employees crumpled.

Some executives left their seats with flushed faces before the results came out.

“Chiksho!”

Yoo-hyun, who was far away, heard their annoyance as they passed by.

‘You should have been nicer, huh.’

Yoo-hyun thought to himself.

Should he be grateful?

Thanks to their tricks, Hansung was able to get on the board.

Final result, D got 128 votes.

Hansung TV won with overwhelming support.

That evening.

Yoo-hyun faced Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager, and Jang Junsik, the manager, at a traditional Japanese pub.

Kim Hyun-min, who emptied his glass of alcohol, laughed loudly.

“Hahaha! Awesome. Did you see the Sharp guys finish last and frown?”

“Are you that happy?”

“Of course I am. We beat the best TVs in Japan on Japanese soil and became the official number one. How great is that?”

Jang Junsik, the manager, chimed in with an excited voice.

“I was so happy that many people recognized our product. No matter how much we promoted it, they didn’t pay attention, but they all loved it so much that I was touched. It’s all thanks to you, mentor.”

“What did I do?”

“Didn’t you tell me to participate in the festival? If not, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

“I didn’t know it would be this big either.”

Yoo-hyun admitted honestly.

He advised him to participate in the festival because it was a relatively good promotional event, but he never dreamed that Hansung would appear on NHK.

Not to mention beating the Japanese TVs and winning!

Thanks to that, Hansung got a huge publicity effect.

That wasn’t the end.

-Hansung OLED TV is good. I underestimated Hansung, but I think I had a prejudice. I’ll analyze it properly and try to put it in the magazine.

Yosuke Matsutaka also opened his closed mind and admitted honestly.

How soon will he be able to see the Hansung Electronics article in Morumoru magazine?

He thought it would take a while, but it happened in an instant.

‘How can this happen?’

Yoo-hyun felt the changes were too amazing.

Clang!

Yoo-hyun clinked his glass and had a pleasant conversation.

He laughed every time he brought up old memories.

“Puhahahaha!”

Laughing and talking and joking.

He had a good time with his precious colleagues.

Precious memories that he could share and share again when he met again were engraved in Yoo-hyun’s heart.

It was so nice to have people who could share and share these happy memories.

Did they all feel the same?

Empty bottles piled up quickly with the cheerful atmosphere.

Zzz.

Kim Hyun-min, whose face was red, suddenly said in a serious voice.

“By the way, I have to tell the guys upstairs a thing or two.”

“What?”

“This time, it was thanks to you that it went well.”

“Don’t say that again. I didn’t do anything.”

Yoo-hyun waved his hand as if it was nothing, but Kim Hyun-min was firm.

“Still, it wouldn’t have happened without you. I have to let them know for sure.”

“It’s been a while since I quit. What’s the point of telling them?”

“What do you mean? I’m going to give a punch to those who tell you to be careful. How much did you do for them and they’re being stingy.”

Kim Hyun-min also had ears, so he knew quite a bit about the behind-the-scenes story of the last board meeting.

Yoo-hyun moved Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, to push the project hard, and some executives were very upset by this.

There was some misunderstanding, but Yoo-hyun didn’t bother to correct it.
