The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1120

That’s right.
There was nothing to actually check.
LC electronics were a bigger problem.
They had recently delved into the subtle conflict between Director Choi Min-hyeok and the Oh Sung Group.
On the surface, it appears that he is trying to pull the order to go to the Oseong Group.
It’s a hit to the back of the head of the Oseong Group.
Of course, Director Choi Min-hyeok was the one who made the move first, but they couldn’t have known about it.
“Don’t you think Director Choi is doing this without any reason?”
“Is it because of the sale of Collins? The sale of the Collins division has already been agreed upon for $6 billion.”
“Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, no, I think it’s because we kept meeting with KM Electronics executives and staff. I confirmed this through Director Jang Seung-il.”
“Did Director Jang Seung-il really say that?”
“Yes. I personally confirmed this through Director Choi Min-hyeok. This also includes attempts to use the vested interests related to next-generation mobile communications to exert pressure.”
“There was no such story, right? And it seems like it would be difficult with just LC electronics?”
“If necessary, isn’t there HY Electronics? If Director Choi Min-hyeok wants to restrain us, he will more than do it. No, other global companies will be the problem. In particular, the United States will not give up its stake in this new Plims corporation.”
“under.”
Manager Im Kwon-soo was not stupid after all. He came from the headquarters of KM Group. Now that he had come to his senses, he confirmed a few more facts.
“I checked with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and they seem to really like this. They are already lobbying for global corporate investment.”
“…Is it because of the dollar?”
“yes.”
“… This is giving me a headache.”
He realized that Director Choi Min-hyeok had several reasons for doing this. One of them was to pressure Oh Sung Electronics. It was a one-sided demand that they show self-restraint.
But I couldn’t ignore this implicit bullying.
Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong was thrilled. He was even worried about one more thing.
“Wait a minute, then what about the Han-Young Daily… … .”
“You spoke bluntly. No, unlike before, you asked us to exert our power over companies that our Oseong Electronics can influence.”
“I already took action.”
“This is a request to be a little more aggressive.”
“We have our own position. It’s already a mess if we put pressure on the subcontractors!”
“That is our situation.”
It was only then that Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong realized Director Choi Min-hyeok’s intentions.
“Are you planning to kill the Han-Young Daily by stopping it?”
“That’s just the beginning. It looks like they’re going to replace the management and create a puppet.”
“under.”
He was so shocked that he couldn’t open his mouth for a while.
The Oseong Group also did not do such a thing to the media.
Because we are conscious of external public opinion.
But Director Choi Min-hyeok didn’t have anything like that.
‘Well, it’s just that the manufacturing side is weak.’
This is due to the properties of KM electronics.
There was no reason for them to fear public opinion.
Manager Im Kwon-soo handed over a report on advertising sales for the Han-Young Daily that he had received from Deputy Manager Hwang Gwang-soo.
Inside, there was a table of advertising sales for the Han-Young Daily for this year and next year.
This year it’s plummeting by a whopping 200%, and next year it’s going to be even more shocking.
Because it exceeds 300%.
“Won’t Hanbu Group help you?”
“… The Hanboo Group is also in a bad situation right now because of the Hanboo Steel issue. It is possible once or twice. However, continuous support is difficult. More companies have withdrawn. The HY Group is particularly problematic. All of the HY Group affiliates, including HY Automobile, have stopped advertising in the Hanyoung Ilbo.”
The newly established Plims corporation, which Director Choi Min-hyeok revealed during his visit to the LC Electronics Research Institute, has shown greater power than expected.
He couldn’t help it.
It was not simply the establishment of a corporation in name only.
This corporation had power.
The platform that was tested during this lecture on next-generation mobile communication standards was tested with a whopping 200 terminals.
Of course, this terminal boasted the size of a walkie-talkie.
However, there was a lot of talk about this as well.
There were several suspicions regarding the internal specifications of this terminal.
Director Im Kwon-soo expressed his concerns while handing over the information related to this terminal.
“There is a lot of talk that we need to obtain a sample of this terminal separately and investigate it.”
“Is it because of the video transmission?”
“Yes. Current mobile CPUs cannot achieve this kind of performance. Ultimately, we have to assume that they have developed their own mobile CPU… … .”
Kwon Tae-seong, the planning director, clicked his tongue as he recalled the semiconductor non-memory process expansion that had been a hot topic last week at KM Industries. He thought KM Industries was taking a risk.
But that wasn’t the case.
Because the order has already been placed.
“So that was the purpose of expanding KM Semiconductor. That was it.”
“Development will accelerate, especially once mass production of chips begins in earnest.”
“Didn’t you say it’s not ready to sell yet?”
“Isn’t that just a matter of time? Once the experimental chips are out, the pace of development will accelerate.”
At first glance, it seemed like something that didn’t make sense.
It would take at least 3 to 4 years just to make one mobile CPU.
Looking at it that way, this test was full of doubts.
Only then did Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong speak with a stern face.
“… Has everything been reviewed by the terminal research lab?”
“It’s not just about the terminal. We’ve gathered all the relevant implementations, including the system, and confirmed the facts.”
“phew.”
* * *
Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong grabbed his forehead. He also thought that Director Choi Min-hyeok was preparing something. However, he did not know that the weapon that had not been revealed was this much.
He couldn’t do things like try to get rid of Director Choi Min-hyeok or anything like that like before.
I had to immediately check Director Choi Min-hyeok’s expression.
To do that, there was one thing I had to sort out first.
After thinking about it, he called in Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.
And unlike before, he spoke coldly.
“I can’t wait any longer. Please submit your resignation letter tomorrow.”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo opened his mouth wide at the shocking story that came out of the blue.
He was so shocked that he was speechless.
But I immediately came to my senses and refuted it.
“I understand that Director Choi Min-hyeok’s case has been resolved. I will be contacted soon, but I will… … .”
“No, that’s not the problem.”
Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong took out Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s personnel profile and showed it to him. It contained details of Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s achievements to date.
I did a variety of odd jobs, but there were no real results.
“… Even in the HR team, there is a lot of talk about Senior Manager Kim Hyun-woo’s work ability. Putting everything else aside, it is difficult to tolerate this any longer for fairness reasons. There are also illegal issues.”
“Ha, but the problem with Director Choi, Choi Min-hyeok… … .”
“Of course, there is the issue of Director Choi Min-hyeok. But the fundamental issue is the work ability of Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo. Because he has not done anything properly up until now.”
“Didn’t that stop you from working in the planning department?!”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo is angry.
Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong also avoided eye contact, as if he was aware of his mistake.
In fact, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo and the planning team had an estranged relationship.
But this happened because Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was involved in internal politics.
Fortunately, the theme was effective because it was Director Choi Min-hyeok.
But now it was different.
It was time for Oh Sung Electronics to form a close alliance with Director Choi Min-hyeok.
It was difficult to hug Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo any longer.
“Well, if you really feel wronged, you can appeal to the court. I’m talking about going to court like last time. Then we’ll fight formally. But you have to submit your resignation letter tomorrow. This applies to everyone who came with you from KM Electronics.”
“… … .”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo would have appealed and made a request in the past. However, when he looked into Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong’s eyes, he simply let out a short sigh.
‘Is the hunt over? Well, if we’re going to take over the Collins division and cooperate on other businesses, we’ll have to keep an eye on Director Choi Min-hyeok.’
That’s right.
In fact, that was what he was worried about.
I predicted that if I continued to stay at Oseong Electronics, I would dry up and die.
That time just came quickly.
No one can stop Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong’s current claim.
Even though he was able to block Director Choi Min-hyeok’s interference thanks to President Choi Du-jin, he now had to deal with the executives of Oseong Electronics.
“…you will regret it.”
“This is purely a question of fairness.”
“… … .”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo glared at Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong for a while, but soon gave up.

[Han-Young Daily Vice President Lee Dong-soo arrested!]
It was an article that made headlines in major media outlets. The article even included a photo of Vice President Lee Dong-soo being arrested by detectives.
Embezzlement and other criminal acts.
The biggest reasons for the arrest were fear of escape and destruction of evidence.
In particular, the current vice president of a major media company was arrested because there was clear evidence related to the destruction of evidence.
Vice President Lee Dong-soo was expected to become the president of Han-Young Ilbo within a month.
It was truly unbelievable. However, evidence related to Vice President Lee Dong-soo’s crimes was leaked by someone and was circulating through PC communications and flyers.
Therefore, there was not much criticism of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office for raiding and seizing the incumbent media outlets.
Chief Cheon Seon-gu opened his eyes wide because he had already heard the news about the Han-Young Ilbo from Senior Manager Kim Hyeon-woo. He ran to Senior Manager Kim Hyeon-woo, who was entering his office while he was reading the article in a hurry.
“Kim Soo, Chief, have you seen this? Vice President Lee Dong-soo of Han-Young Ilbo has been arrested!”
Although only Vice President Lee Dong-soo was arrested, those involved were not unharmed.
Those summoned as suspects were the executives of Han-Young Ilbo, including Editor-in-Chief Choi Kyung-jin.
There was also an article with a photo attached of them being summoned to the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
“… … .”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo sighed as he read the article. He thought he knew why Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong reacted that way.
He too was greatly embarrassed. He never imagined that the vice president of Han-Young Ilbo would be arrested.
Even during the military regime, it was not easy for a sitting vice president of a media company to be arrested.
“… It’s Director Choi Min-hyeok’s doing.”
“Yes? Ha, but even if he is Director Choi Min-hyeok, are you saying that you will arrest the vice president of a media company?”
“I don’t know either. And… … .”
He paused for a moment. He looked at the other employees in the office, including Manager Cheon Seon-gu. They were all people who had followed him from KM Electronics to Oseong Electronics.
I had to tell them some bad news.
But I couldn’t hesitate.
“… I’ll probably get a call from HR this evening. Yes. I’ll be handed down a letter of resignation. I’m sorry. I tried my best, but there was nothing I could do. The situation is just too bad right now.”
The story is that it will be difficult to file a lawsuit like last time.
Because Oh Sung Electronics will present evidence of its illegal activities in this lawsuit.
If you fight too hard, you could end up in jail.
Silence fell.
But surprisingly, it was the face everyone expected.
The conflict between Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo and Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong is not something that started yesterday or today.
Rather, it was brave to have endured until now.
Chief Cheon Seon-gu shouted on their behalf.
“Didn’t you say that it was Director Choi Min-hyeok’s doing? You said that all we had to do was stop Director Choi Min-hyeok. Did you fail?”
“No, how did that work out? But we haven’t achieved anything so far. And there are a lot of issues with our partner companies, and if you don’t back down quietly, we’re going to file a criminal complaint.”
Everyone ended up averting their gaze.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was not the only one who committed illegal acts.
The working-level staff below him were similar.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo sat down in his seat after looking at their expressions.
He looked at the bewildered Manager Cheon Seon-gu and tried to speak, but then just remained silent.
Because just saying it would make the other person more miserable.
‘Did you last long?’
Up until now, I have held out with evil and brute force.
But now it was the limit.

Director Choi Min-hyeok frowned slightly when he heard through Team Leader Jo Seong-don that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo and all of the employees who followed him had submitted their resignations.
