The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1155

1155.
In fact, I didn’t know myself.
I was just doing my best in my position.
He discovered the fixed-ho temple late. Then he smiled brightly. This was because he had immediately created nearly a hundred additional patents using the dynamic bandwidth allocation patent.
To be honest, I didn’t really know the value of this patent. I was just doing my job because I got specific instructions from Director Choi Byeong-yeon. However, Director Choi Min-hyeok didn’t give me the instructions. He just gave me the direction.
“Thank you for your hard work, sir. You must have had a hard time.”
“No. On the contrary, I was grateful. It was my first time in America since I was born.”
The patent team began to gather one by one at Manager Im Gi-seok’s seat.
Everyone’s complexion was not good.
Recently, Director Choi Byeong-yeon suddenly started swinging the whip.
This is also the first time I’ve encountered the antenna.
I thought I had the hang of it, but antenna engineering was a strange field compared to other fields.
Even though I studied, I was confused as to what this was.
Because of that, I couldn’t go home for a week.
Manager Gong Chae-deok grumbled.
“Why is there such a fuss over wireless LAN patents?”
Director Im Gi-seok refuted the claim.
“They say this is the last chance. It will probably be difficult to purchase wireless LAN patents after a while.”
He shook the report that Temple Chief Goh had sent in advance on his desk once again.
“This is going to be worth a lot of money. It might even be worth more than the MP3 patent!!”
I was just saying that.
But that’s really what will happen in the future.
Manager Gong Chae-deok said to Employee Go Jeong-ho, whose eyes were wide open, with a sly smile.
“Didn’t you know that? You didn’t tell me in advance. If you knew the information, you might do something strange. AT&T would react differently then.”
“… I don’t quite understand.”
Manager Im Gi-seok felt sorry. He took something out of the drawer and showed it to employee Jeong-ho Go.
“It is the result of the hard work of the old man.”
“… This is.”
Employee Goh Jeong-ho knows that this item is an SLT-MP3. He just doesn’t know why he’s showing it to them. But he quickly figures it out.
The original sample had an antenna attached to the corner. It was a fairly long antenna. I always felt concerned about that antenna. That’s why I didn’t like this thing.
“…there is no antenna.”
“That’s right. It’s called a pad antenna, so it’s installed internally and you can’t see it. This thing uses wireless LAN. Don’t you feel anything when you look at it?”
Employee Go Jeong-ho was very surprised. Aside from the design, he liked the item. Even the KM App Store contained the defense game he enjoyed.
Although it is still in beta testing, the game’s stability has greatly improved thanks to the addition of experts.
“I heard that the program was created by a student at the KM Electronic Education Center. Oh, I guess you could call them students. Should I say they are our employees?”
Only then did the employee focus on the SLT-MP3. He realized that it was exactly what he wanted. It used wireless LAN technology.
“Wow.”
It seemed like I understood the meaning only later.
But that’s not the real value.
I just had a feeling that something was going to happen.
In the end, we also realized that the results of our work were greater than we thought.
Director Lim Ki-seok smiled brightly. He too was surprised like a child. He didn’t know why he had purchased the wireless LAN patent.
But it was a different story with SLT-MP3.
“These days, companies are contacting you about wireless LAN patents. This is proof that you are busy again. Prepare well in advance. In addition to purchasing wireless LAN patents, securing additional technologies is important.”
“…yes.”
That’s a dead end.
I was already busy, but now I’m even busier.
Now I don’t even want money.
Temple Chief Goh sighed. His business trip to the US was like a tutorial for the gates of hell.
Director Im Ki-seok snickered as he looked at the sight. However, he stuck out his tongue as he looked at the wireless LAN-related patents submitted by the patent team, including employee Go Jeong-ho.
‘Director Choi Min-hyeok’s vision is still alive.’
In fact, it wasn’t Director Choi Min-hyeok who did it.
He only gave directions.
Chief Choi Byeong-yeon gave the direct order.
The one who provided feedback on this was Vice President Lim Ki-seok himself. He took advantage of his experience with MP3 patents to take care of even the smallest details.
Getting information about the AT&T restructuring was a bonus.
‘I’m not sure if wireless LAN patents are as valuable as MP3 patents, though.’
***
Surprisingly, it was Director Jang Seung-il who first obtained information about the wireless LAN patent.
He reported to Chairman Choi Yong-wook as soon as he got the information.
“…Is this worth it?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. But if you look at this patch antenna, you might think differently.”
“Be different.”
Chairman Choi Yong-wook also stuck out his tongue while looking at the SLT-MP3 equipped with a patch antenna.
Aside from everything else, it was because the sleek design was really awesome.
“… I don’t know much about this, but is this type of wireless mobile device possible?”
“…it was impossible until now.”
“Does that mean this is a world first?”
“Probably so.”
In fact, thanks to Director Choi Min-hyeok secretly passing it over, no one knew the value of this SLT-MP3.
Director Choi Min-hyeok gives hints about other projects through Team Leader Jo Seong-don.
Team leader Jo Seong-don gave information to his acquaintances, including Director Jang Seung-il.
So, I could guess its value to some extent.
But this thing was a little different.
Moreover, since it was using detailed information, no one knew the meaning.
If it’s a really important project, KM Electronics will handle it directly.
What was important was that Director Choi Min-hyeok did not do that.
However, only then did Chairman Choi Yong-wook come to his senses.
That’s understandable, as the SLT-MP3 has a sleek design that sets it apart from existing models.
But on the other hand, he stuck out his tongue.
“As expected, it’s Minhyuk. From KM Electronics… … .”
“No. It was developed by Sehan Information, not KM Electronics.”
“If you say Sehan Information, do you mean the affiliate of Sehan Group?”
“yes.”
“Hey, that doesn’t make sense. Even though Sehan Information is a subsidiary of a large corporation, it couldn’t have created something like this in such a short period of time! I know your human resources well. Director Jang must know that too.”
Director Jang Seung-il sighed.
“Starting with the CPU, all parts are related to Director Choi Min-hyeok. Even the initial technology development was done by Director Choi Min-hyeok. It is no exaggeration to say that Sehan Information only handled the supply and mass production.”
“… But why did Sehan Information make something like this? Do you think Minhyuk would have thought that this wouldn’t make money? That doesn’t make sense!!”
Chairman Choi Yong-wook’s voice rose considerably.
Director Jang Seung-il was no different. The reason he took the trouble to report to Chairman Choi Yong-wook secretly was because it was not a problem he could solve on his own.
“that is…….”
“Is this also a problem that Minhyuk decided on his own?”
“… I’m not sure about that.”
Chairman Choi Yong-wook thought deeply and then got up from his seat after seeing Director Jang Seung-il’s expression. Outsourcing something like this? It was ridiculous. This was crazy. If he didn’t want to do it, he could have just handed it over to the group.
“… Did Director Jang cover up the report?”
“No. It wasn’t even reported to me.”
Director Jang Seung-il said he didn’t know about the details, so he probably didn’t receive the information in advance.
This really wasn’t the case.
If you don’t like it, you can give it to the group.
“Minhyuk, call that guy right now!!!”
***
Chairman Choi Yong-wook was furious and went to see Director Choi Min-hyeok.
This information reached the ears of Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung, who was already nervous because of what Director Choi Min-hyeok had done.
Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung met Chairman Choi Yong-wook under the pretense of coincidence.
He ran so hard that he was drenched in sweat until he blocked Chairman Choi Yong-wook’s path.
After a brief chat, I quietly followed Chairman Choi Yong-wook.
Chairman Choi Yong-wook was annoyed, but he couldn’t tell him not to do that.
Although I don’t know, I thought that the reason Chairman Choi Yong-wook was so angry was because Director Choi Min-hyeok had caused some big trouble.
‘It’s an opportunity!’
This is your chance to score points.
Since Choi Min-hyeok’s score is relatively low, he can get a double score difference.
Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung was extremely careful about controlling his facial expressions. He forgot what had happened to his nephew, Director Choi Min-hyeok, and how Chairman Choi Yong-wook had treated him so badly.
Director Jang Seung-il continued to look at me with an unpleasant look, but I pretended not to notice and made a crocodile-like expression.
Director Jang Seung-il looked uneasy because Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung was clinging to him like a leech.
However, Chairman Choi Yong-wook was so angry that he could not look at Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung’s expression.
Fortunately, Director Choi Min-hyeok was in the planning director’s office.
He couldn’t close his mouth as he looked at the status of wireless LAN patent purchases.
‘I can’t believe they bought Lucent’s wireless LAN patents.’
To be exact, it’s a patent owned by AT&T.
Because the business division related to this patent was spun off and became Lucent.
Although we may not know for sure, it will be impossible to purchase this patent in just two months.
Of course, that wasn’t all.
However, if you look at the ratio, it exceeds 50% including existing patents.
If we include new patents here, the ratio easily exceeds 60%.
If you put in a little more effort, it’s not impossible to get over 70%.
But the important thing is that they have acquired all the core wireless LAN patents.
The combination play of Director Choi Byeong-yeon and Manager Lim Ki-seok shone.
It was an unconditional purchase without exception of all parts related to the patch antenna patent.
In particular, it was a brilliant move to purchase patents using new employees under the pretext of being a ghost company.
The patent then went through several channels and came to KM Electronics.
Yes, it’s the same thing we did to big Japanese companies before.
In fact, Sizbel helped with this as well.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for an inexperienced patent team to do this.
‘No, the real owner is Belin Investment. Anyway, I heard it’s run in a complicated way.’
But it had to be this way.
Recently, a warning has been issued regarding Director Choi Min-hyeok’s patent hunting, mainly in the US, Japan, and Europe.
It was a check on a national scale.
Director Choi Min-hyeok felt a sense of guilt over the fact that he had purchased less than 10 patents under his name. No one would sell patents if he had stepped forward.
Chairman Choi Yong-wook suddenly appeared in front of him.
He has Vice President Choi Moon-kyung attached to his tail.
“What happened to SLT-MP3? Even if you are not related to the KM Group, isn’t this too much? At least you could have asked for advice.”
Director Choi Min-hyeok was bewildered.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I’m talking about the SLT-MP3 product. I don’t think you can ignore the value of the SLT-MP3 product using a patch antenna!”
Only then did Director Choi Min-hyeok stick out his tongue. Chairman Choi Yong-wook was right. However, he was looking beyond the SLT-MP3 to the smartphone market.
The more SLT-MP3 is activated, the sooner the smartphone will be released.
‘That’s when Flims will truly become the goose that lays the golden eggs.’
If the US government had known that, they wouldn’t have responded so clumsily.
So, Director Choi Min-hyeok started selling his shares of Plims in advance, fearing that the U.S. government might change its mind.
Of course, Director Choi Min-hyeok could not tell such details. However, he ended up laughing in vain when he saw Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung’s cowardly laughter.
He would have talked back if Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung hadn’t been there, but he couldn’t do that.
Chairman Choi Yong-wook was very angry.
We cannot keep Chairman Choi Yong-wook’s stake in the group as it is, so we talked about it for now.
“I don’t know who told me what, but until recently, the SLT-MP3 was considered a do-or-die item.”
“…What does that mean?”
