The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1125



Only Noblemtl

1125.

Denny Sullivan, President of Asia Pacific, jumped up from his seat and shouted.

He also didn’t believe it because it was just a rumor. It’s not something that can be done easily. In fact, GM couldn’t even proceed because of the bureaucratic staff.

“…HY Automobile is said to be using all available means. They are even said to be assigning the technology and research team of the vehicle they were testing to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.’

In fact, HY Automobile has disclosed all the technologies it has developed so far to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

So the speed of cooperation had to increase.

When Denny Sullivan, President of Asia Pacific, heard this, he couldn’t help but feel restless.

GM is now in the process of clearing out its internal bureaucracy.

Once you get caught, the words “Juheung” are engraved on it and you can’t go up.

“Choi, contact Director Choi Min-hyeok immediately…”

There was no need to do it.

Because President Alan Parriton received a call from his secretary who came running in a hurry.

“Director Choi Min-hyeok wants to meet you.”

“What? Really? Shit, this isn’t important right now. Make an appointment right now. Even today is fine. Call me right now, and hurry!”

“…All right.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok actually contacted GM just in case.

But I didn’t know that I would get a call asking to meet right away.

He was frankly absurd.

I didn’t know GM’s situation would be this dire.

‘Then why was it like that in the past?’

Just in case, Director Choi Min-hyeok looked into GM’s past life memories.

As expected, there was a problem.

‘Was the union strike the problem?’

Director Choi Min-hyeok chuckled when he recalled the chronic problems of automobile companies. In a way, Dr. Lee Ji-soo’s work is an extension of that.

Maybe it was a good thing.

If GM had persisted, Dr. Lee Ji-soo might have fallen for it.

Director Choi Min-hyeok instructed Team Leader Jo Seong-don to leak information to several media outlets.

The last meeting with GM was a story that could be done either way.

Should we call it a formality?

But at this point, meeting with GM was quite important.

There are a number of reasons, but the GM union also has considerable influence in American politics.

If that’s the case, then if you tell stories that suit GM’s taste, you can make him an ally.

However, Director Choi Min-hyeok also wanted to wrap up the Dr. Lee Ji-soo issue this time.

It’s not a big deal to him, but I can’t just hang up and make a fuss about it.

“Actually, the reason I asked to meet like this is because of something related to Dr. Lee Ji-soo. I heard that you are suing Dr. Lee Ji-soo.”

“Oh, it’s true that we supported Dr. Lee Ji-soo at GM at the time. We just want compensation for the investment we made back then.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok did not deny that GM invested in Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

“But most of the research that Dr. Lee Ji-soo has done so far was done within KMBOOK. It has nothing to do with GM.”

“No. I understand that the investment made by Dr. Lee Ji-soo when he was going through a difficult time became the cornerstone of the animation platform. I want compensation for that.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok frowned as he looked at the calm expression of Denny Sullivan, President of the Asia Pacific region. He was mindful of his own feelings, but he was clearly saying something that needed to be said.

And his argument wasn’t entirely wrong.

At that time, it was a very important time for GM to help Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

However, it was difficult to say that as a result.

So, let’s talk about it in court.

No, if it were me, I would use this excuse to demand a portion of the Ani platform shares. The future value of the Ani platform has already been proven through Oseong Trading, LC Electronics, and HY Automobile.

So if this goes to trial, it won’t end easily.

GM probably wanted to drag out the trial for years.

‘No, since it’s a matter reviewed by the legal team, I’ll win. But even if I win, it’s a loss.’

Director Choi Min-hyeok was secretly annoyed. As of now, he couldn’t find the answer even if he looked back at his memories from his past life.

‘I think Dr. Taylor split Dr. Lee Ji-soo’s work into pieces and sold them. Then it will be difficult to do anything, like file a lawsuit or anything.’

Director Choi Min-hyeok thought about it for a moment. No, he thought about it quite seriously. This problem had to be resolved now. Later, when the animation platform was commercialized, the lawsuit could have become a big problem.

Even after autonomous driving technology was introduced, GM would never have acted like this.

At that time, I will hang on to you more viciously and die.

“…Are you trying to fight me?”

Denny Sullivan, President of Asia Pacific, was shocked by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s cold response. He held back from expressing his inner feelings.

President Alan Parriton, who was present, was also very nervous.

I didn’t come here to fight with Director Choi Min-hyeok.

They too are still unsure about the autonomous driving technology of the anime.

In fact, they internally predicted that it would take around 10 to 15 years even for Director Choi Min-hyeok.

That is to say, at the very least.

Actually, based on Director Choi Min-hyeok’s previous life, this was an impossible story.

It’s because of the stability of autonomous driving.

To overcome this limitation, the anime level system was created, but not everyone knew about it.

“Oh, no. As Director Choi Min-hyeok knows, the investment…”

“Tsk, just throw it away. All you did was harass Dr. Lee Ji-soo and interfere with her work. And all you did was get a few bucks for it.”

“That, that’s not it…..”

“Are you really sure about that? Should I call the staff back in and question them?!”

“That’s a bit….….”

Naturally, the two were greatly embarrassed. They had already seen the results of the investigation at the headquarters. At that time, the person in charge of Dr. Lee Ji-soo was severely harassing Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

That is, sexual harassment.

Of course, it ended in failure.

Director Choi Min-hyeok snickered. The content was obvious even without a cursory investigation.

‘No. I don’t know. I think it would be better to secure evidence and witnesses regarding the situation at the time.’

“Okay. It’s true that GM invested. But I can’t just give it all away like a fool. Let’s establish a joint venture for autonomous driving.”

The two rolled their eyes and fell into thought. Director Choi Min-hyeok’s story was a demand to give up all rights to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

Instead, it meant giving them shares in a new joint venture called ‘Anitech’.

The two thought for a moment. The lawsuit was actually difficult to win. Instead, they could strike Director Choi Min-hyeok once. However, in return, they would have to turn their backs on Director Choi Min-hyeok from now on.

Plims was like crossing the water.

“Free… no, what about the value of the shares?”

“We’ll have to negotiate that. First, we have to give up our rights to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.”

“…All right.”

The two people stood up from their seats with a sigh.

For both of them, just being able to participate in the autonomous driving of Annie was a relief.

In reality, it wasn’t easy to get involved in this.

Because that was the situation at Plims.

GM’s answer surprisingly did not come right away.

Even GM headquarters hesitated when it was about to give up its rights to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

Why, there is something like that.

It’s not something you absolutely have to get, but it’s something you’d be sad to throw away.

Because later on, this could become something of astronomical value.

However, I couldn’t say no.

Then, I would have to stand up to Director Choi Min-hyeok, and if that happened, I would have to fold the future automobile business.

It may sound ridiculous, but it really happened.

After the story of the Plims Corporation came out, the completion of the anime platform increased further. This is because anime autonomous driving was also unable to escape this influence.

This also had a ripple effect on the actual industries involved, including Oseong Electronics, LC Electronics, HY Automobile, and Oseong Materials.

So it was fundamentally different from the study of Kadera.

Naturally, as the completion of the anime platform accelerated, rumors began to spread here and there.

It was unbelievable that another related company had leaked it.

Director Choi Min-hyeok whetted his appetite.

“No answer from GM?”

“Yes, I don’t answer the phone either.”

“her.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He wanted to finish this case, but it didn’t seem like it would be as easy as he thought.

He was once again convinced that HY Automobile could face problems in acquiring Oseong Automobile. The reason was the purchase price of Oseong Automobile.

“…Uhm, do it like this. Tell Dr. Lee Ji-soo to adjust the speed.”

“…All right.”

Unfortunately, this incident was just that.

With the sale of the Collins division and the GM job now over, the next thing was important.

“What is Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo doing these days?”

Team leader Jo Seong-don tilted his head.

“I know you’re at home.”

“Really? Nothing else? Did you go see CEO Choi Du-jin and lie down or something?”

“I did go see President Choi Du-jin, but he backed down surprisingly easily. But I’ll check again.”

“Look carefully at Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s movements. We can’t give up like this.”

“…All right.”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don wondered if it was really necessary to look into Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, but he soon changed his mind. This was because he had recently heard what Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had been doing at Oseong Electronics after he left.

‘He wasn’t an ordinary person, though.’

“Oh, and since it’s come to this, how about the Han-Young Daily? Did you do as President Choi Du-jin instructed?”

“He said he would do as instructed, but that he needed to adjust the pace. He said he would first fill the manpower shortage and then reorganize.”

“Is that so? Hmm, I don’t think Han-Young Ilbo can do well with just restructuring. Let’s hire one of our people. Who would be good? Tell President Choi Du-jin to appoint Choi Gwang-soo as editor-in-chief.”

“…Mr. Choi Gwang-su is a regular reporter. Is that okay?”

There was a huge gap between the reporter and the editor.

In fact, it was a ridiculous story.

Choi Min-hyeok also knew that very well. That is why he is pushing this work further. In the first place, he is not interested in media outlets like Han-Young Ilbo.

“He’s old. He chose the life of a journalist as his second life. He’ll probably do his best to survive.”

“…I will instruct you accordingly.”

Team leader Jo Seong-don wondered if this was okay, but he didn’t think about it too deeply.

‘Well, if it goes through CEO Choi Du-jin, there won’t be any problems.’

The Han-Young Daily underwent a large-scale restructuring after Vice President Lee Dong-soo was arrested.

This is because all executives related to Vice President Lee Dong-soo have resigned.

Editor-in-chief Choi Kyung-jin also stuck out her tongue while organizing her personal belongings in the office.

“Choi Gwang-su is the editor-in-chief.”

“…That’s right.”

Reporter Baek Yong-gu also stuck out his tongue while helping Editor-in-Chief Choi Kyung-jin organize her belongings.

Even so, I never imagined that Choi Gwang-soo would become the editor-in-chief.

But there was nothing that could be done.

This is because President Choi Du-jin personally made the personnel appointments.

Editor Choi Kyung-jin took a cigarette while cleaning up the items.

“Did Reporter Choi report it?”

Reporter Woo Yong-gu tilted his head, glancing around.

“I’m not sure about that. Honestly, I just can’t believe that reporter Choi Gwang-soo leaked inside information.”

“You never know what will happen to other people.”

Reporter Baek Yong-gu didn’t even want to think about reporter Choi Gwang-su’s work. He was more worried about the fact that the entire management of Han Young Ilbo had been replaced.

There will soon be a major restructuring.

At that time, it was not only the executives but also the reporters below that were being reorganized.

“Do you know any other information about the restructuring?”

“I don’t know either. But one thing is clear. You know who is behind CEO Choi Du-jin.”

“…Are you talking about Director Choi Min-hyeok?”

“Yeah. The reporter who led the series of articles on Director Choi Min-hyeok will be fired.”
