“Yes. The reason why people don’t completely believe Director Choi Min-hyeok’s words is because this is not as easy as it seems. Even if the next-generation mobile communication standard comes out plausibly, I think it is far from reality. But now things are different.”

“… Are you saying that the next-generation mobile communications standard will be released tomorrow?”

“That would be better. The problem is that it is not yet known. The problem is that Director Choi Min-hyeok continues this work alone. After all, many of the next-generation mobile communication patents… … ”

“Are you saying that Director Choi Min-hyeok will take over the next generation of mobile communications?”

“yes.”

Director Kwon Tae-seong could not have been unaware of Director Won Myeong-seop’s words.

“Okay. So what’s our alternative? Are you saying we should just suck our thumbs?”

“No. That’s why I have to work closer with Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“… aren’t you doing that?”

Only then did Director Won Myeong-seop look at Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong.

“Until last week, Director Choi Min-hyeok was very considerate. But then suddenly Director Choi Min-hyeok… … .”

Recently, Director Choi Min-hyeok has been showing a completely different side than before.

In particular, he put a lot of pressure on the executives and employees of Oseong Electronics.

Of course, most of those who did this said they followed Director Choi Min-hyeok’s instructions.

It is difficult to know the pain unless you have experienced it.

“The next generation of mobile communications will integrate existing wired and wireless public communication networks. It will include terrestrial networks, wireless data communications, and frequency sharing communications.”

Even satellite networks are included here.

One bad thing for Oseong Electronics is that Director Choi Min-hyeok is also quite knowledgeable about satellite network technology.

“The problem is that the means is just one terminal. In other words, all the business teams involved here have to watch Director Choi Min-hyeok’s face.”

Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong sighed.

“Are you saying that Director Choi Min-hyeok has started to suppress the executives and staff of the business division related to next-generation mobile communications?!”

“Yes. But you mentioned that there was a problem with Director Choi Min-hyeok and the Oseong Group in relation to that matter. Is that true?”

“That’s… … .”

Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong also couldn’t answer right away. The problem was complicated by what he had done recently.

The opponent fell for this point.

“… Neither the planning department nor the head office gave a proper answer.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s stop talking about that.”

Director Won Myeong-seop sighed as he read Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong’s answer. He also heard that there was a lot of conflict due to the recent negotiations to sell the Collins division.

‘You said 6 billion dollars.’

By his own standards, it would be crazy to buy the Collins division at that price.

Perhaps Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong was angry at Director Choi Min-hyeok because of this.

“… I know it may be presumptuous of me to say this, but now is not the time to be at odds with Director Choi Min-hyeok. If you become hostile to Director Choi Min-hyeok, other large corporations will… … .”

“I told you, I got it!”

Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong answered firmly and immediately stood up. He didn’t show it on the outside, but he was shaking inside.

The method used by Director Choi Min-hyeok was the bullying that Osung Electronics used against small and medium-sized businesses.

It was romance when they did it.

After it actually happened, I felt really dirty.

He also kept his distance from Director Won Myeong-seop, who was clinging to him unlike before.

Because I know better than anyone why Director Choi Min-hyeok does this.

It was because of me.

This is what was done using Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.

‘I don’t think it would have been obvious, but did Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo say something to Director Choi Min-hyeok? No, I’ve never done that openly.’

He regretted it later.

I was stupid to trust a person like Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.

After meeting with Director Won Myeong-seop, Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong called in working-level staff related to next-generation mobile communications standards and held a thorough meeting.

That’s understandable, because he didn’t do it because he wanted to.

This was because most of them were under pressure from Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“The next-generation mobile communications standard has all the strengths of wired and wireless phones. It can completely eliminate the inconveniences felt in existing communications.”

“With just one terminal, you can now communicate in the Arctic or the Amazon wilderness. We should never give up on this service!”

“The biggest advantage is that you can send and receive video, voice, and photos. It’s even a technology that allows video calls and video conferences. Are you really going to give up on this technology?!”

The story that came out in a long-winded manner was information that the planning team had already reviewed and reported to the business department.

But the business division staff shouted until their throats were torn.

It meant that money was visible, not just the level of technological development.

This is also a fact that Director Kwon Tae-seong of the Planning Office knows. However, he realized the potential of this technology anew while negotiating with the head of the relevant business division.

It was only then that he realized why Director Choi Min-hyeok had shown him the lecture show.

‘He revealed his true abilities.’

That means the next-generation mobile communications standard is not just any standard.

Only then did Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong sigh.

Director Im Kwon-soo’s thoughts were no different.

“I have been wondering why Director Choi Min-hyeok has been acting strangely for the past few months. But in the end, it was all a ploy to cover up the value of next-generation mobile communications.”

“… … .”

He didn’t answer. He just sighed. He tried so hard not to get hurt by Director Choi Min-hyeok, but he ended up getting hurt.

And on a larger scale than in the past.

‘Should I just quit my job now?’

When Director Kwon Tae-seong thought about what might have gone wrong, he realized anew how dangerous his actions had been.

* * *

Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong eventually made excuses to the staff who were pressuring him, saying that it was due to the friction between the Oh Sung Group and Director Choi Min-hyeok.

He added that he would mediate the matter on his own.

He was once again shocked by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s persistent tactics.

This issue has been discussed since the discussions with the staff.

However, I never thought that Director Choi Min-hyeok would bully Osung Electronics.

But that’s what happened in the end.

Everyone was amazed at how lethal the technique was.

Osung Electronics executives and staff were often excluded from technology meetings.

The responsibility was placed on the Oseong Group.

So, the engineer who was held in check is now appealing to Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong himself.

This was done so quietly that no sign of it came out.

However, after Director Choi Min-hyeok demonstrated his abilities at the ETRI lecture show, he started working openly.

Only then did Director Kwon Tae-seong realize that there was no answer. Now, he had to unconditionally grant Director Choi Min-hyeok what he wanted, so he called in Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo again.

“…I have already given you enough chances.”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo was shocked. No, he felt wronged. Things were going well now, and more time was needed.

“Huh? Okay, wait a minute. I’m still talking. Oh, I need more time!”

However, Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong could no longer listen to Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.

“It became impossible.”

“What do you mean? I finally got help from my father and got help from Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung. I’m also talking to the Han-Young Ilbo again. If I just have a little more time… … .”

“In that short period of time, our five planets themselves were damaged.”

“but…….”

“No, we can’t. It’s difficult anymore. Even if I personally want to push Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo, I can’t do it because of the pressure from Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo felt fear at the cold words of Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong.

The planning director Kwon Tae-seong he knew was not a person who would give in to threats.

‘Director Choi, what on earth did this kid do… … .’

“I’ll give you until next week to sort things out. Please make sure there are no problems with the transfer of duties.”

“Please give me a week, no, even just two days. Can’t you give me that much?!”

“… Okay, but I can’t give you any more time than that.”

“yes!”

After saying these words, Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong stood up from his seat.

“… … .”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo trembled, but there was nothing he could do.

‘No. I can’t give up like this!’

* * *

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo went back to see President Choi Du-jin and complained.

President Choi Doo-jin is no fool either, so unlike before, he checked what happened to Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo. He was also shocked when he found out that the means of pressuring Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo was the next-generation communication standard.

‘I can’t believe something like this happened.’

But what I found out later is that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo really did not touch Director Choi Min-hyeok.

In other words, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was properly targeted by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

The absurd part is that he couldn’t even protest to Director Choi Min-hyeok about that.

He eventually went to Chairman Choi Yong-wook and expressed his intention to give up his shares.

“I’m sorry.”

Chairman Choi Yong-wook did not criticize President Choi Du-jin.

“… You don’t have to say that.”

“Isn’t that what you want?”

“What do I want?”

“Tsk, I know you want to keep Moon Kyung in check by using Director Choi Min-hyeok. In reality, if Moon Kyung leaves that guy alone, he’ll more than destroy the group.”

If that happens, CEO Choi Du-jin, the major shareholder, will also suffer losses.

It was difficult to leave it like that.

However, the fact that the entire KM Group is now being transferred to Director Choi Min-hyeok is not all that good for Chairman Choi Yong-wook.

If Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung were to step down from the KM Group, Executive Director Choi Dong-young would not have been able to become Director Choi Min-hyeok’s counterpart.

Eventually, they will be kicked out of the KM Group, and if that happens, the Choi family will become enemies.

The family will be torn apart.

That’s not what Chairman Choi Yong-wook wanted.

Chairman Choi Yong-wook clicked his tongue at the words of President Choi Du-jin, who knew his true feelings well.

‘This time, I have to move.’

* * *

When Chairman Choi Yong-wook finally felt that President Choi Du-jin was pressuring him, he could not just sit by and watch, so he went to see Director Choi Min-hyeok again.

“Minhyuk, you promised to give me time.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok stuck out his tongue at the same repertoire.

“Based on what he’s doing now, I think he’s just trying to buy time. Even if he had more time, nothing would change. He never intended to hand over his stake in the first place.”

Chairman Choi Yong-wook also spoke cautiously while watching his grandson, Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“If all of President Choi Du-jin’s shares are transferred to you, will Vice President Choi Moon-kyung just sit still?”

“… … .”

“You have to admit that too. The competition for management succession must be conducted fairly. Strictly speaking, the reason I became the planning director of KM Electronics was also due to issues of fairness.”

“… … .”

Director Choi Min-hyeok couldn’t answer right away. In fact, there was a problem with assigning the position of planning director to a 20-year-old college student.

If Chairman Choi Yong-wook had not appointed Director Choi Min-hyeok as the Planning Director of KM Electronics, things would not have turned out the way they have.

‘Did we need more time?’

I needed a lot, not more.

Because it was a few years ahead of schedule.

Director Choi Min-hyeok further took into account the things that Chairman Choi Yong-wook had done for him in his previous life. He intended to repay that debt.

Establishing KM DVR and KM Sensor was one of those rewards.

It wasn’t like I just received it for free from Chairman Choi Yong-wook.

Director Choi Min-hyeok eventually frowned. If he knew about this situation even now, Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung would come to his office and turn things upside down.

Chairman Choi Yong-wook cautiously overlooked one thing while keeping an eye on his grandson Choi Min-hyeok.

“And since we’re on the subject, there are quite a few people who are negative about the sale of the Collins division. KM Electronics doesn’t have a proper means to deal with the Collins division.”

“That’s… … .”

Director Choi Min-hyeok also hesitated for a moment. He also continued to worry about this part. Originally, he had planned to fill it with smartphone production, but that was not possible.
