The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 223

“Oh Sung Electronics won’t back down easily.”

“Yes, that would be the problem.”

“under.”

Chief Kim Hyun-tak had already completely forgotten about Director Choi Min-hyeok. He was only thinking about how to get involved in this project.

No, his desire only grew stronger as time went by.

‘Ah, shit, there has to be a way. If I can just finish this job properly, I can get my father’s approval. If I can do that, I’ll be one step ahead in the succession. Even if it’s Oh Sung Electronics, I have no choice but to fight!’

The Oculus project was officially announced through the front page of the Han-Young Daily.

[The digital satellite broadcasting era begins!]

It was a specific article related to satellite broadcasting, which has been much talked about and much trouble.

In particular, this article mainly deals with digital satellite broadcasting with its multi-channel advantages.

[The broadcasting industry has recently entered a new paradigm called the digital age. In response, the Ministry of Information and Communication has made an astronomical investment of 300 billion won so far. And the fruits of that investment have shone through the Oculus project.]

He also mentioned the need for the enactment of an integrated broadcasting law.

This is not simply an article meant to be agitational, but it provides clear examples of specific techniques and directions.

In particular, the Oculus project was highlighted as being more advanced than the world’s first digital broadcast in the United States.

However, the funny thing is that the photo on the front page was of Choi Min-hyeok cosplaying as a minister in front of ETRI staff.

A photo that has nothing to do with the article.

Choi Min-hyuk’s name was written at the bottom of the photo.

-What is Director Choi Min-hyeok?

-Ah, that’s Director Choi Min-hyeok, famous for his IFA speech. But why is he mentioned in this case?

The article did not mention Director Choi Min-hyeok even once.

I can only guess that the reporter may have pasted the photo incorrectly.

However, those who read this article were more shocked by the content of the article than by the incorrectly placed photo.

-Is this true?

-The article seems plausible, but I think it’s too exaggerated.

-When will the Mugunghwa satellite be launched? Will it be able to broadcast digitally?

Of course, there were still negative people who were pessimistic about the progress.

Because I know very well how messy government research institutes like ETRI are.

However, this article became a big issue because it was linked to the issue of the launch of the Mugunghwa satellite. Other media outlets also belatedly reported on digital satellite broadcasting.

As for Choi Min-hyeok, he was completely shocked by the article because he had not expected it at all.

If you took a picture, you had to write an article about it, or take Choi Min-hyeok out of the picture and match it with the article.

But this article was a strange one, neither this nor that.

‘It’s a mess, they’re writing all these useless articles.’

I was worried that my picture was posted for no reason.

Because it would be uncomfortable if it became known that he was involved in this matter.

‘No, it might be better. If Director Lee Chang-myeong sees this article, he’ll be furious. If this guy sets it up properly, I could sell my shares at a decent price… … .’

* * *

Unlike Choi Min-hyeok, who was venting his grievances, it was none other than Director Lee Chang-myeong who was trying to take the lead on the digital satellite broadcasting issue.

He was furious that Choi Min-hyeok was riding the horse instead of him, and he went on a rampage in the office, shouting in anger.

Unable to control his emotions, he overturned his desk and harassed Manager Ahn Gook-ho.

“You little shit, get behind!”

Chief Ahn Gook-ho was hit with a golf club but did not fight back.

Because it’s something that’s always happened.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, who had been watching the madman’s actions, noticed the situation and when Director Lee Chang-myeong’s excitement subsided, he offered an opinion.

“Sir, how about we start with a lawsuit?”

Director Lee Chang-myeong, who was going crazy with anger at being treated by Director Choi Min-hyeok, suddenly shouted.

“Hey, pig, is this a problem that can be solved by filing a lawsuit?!”

“that is…….”

“You idiot, it’s obvious what a piece of trash like you is thinking. You should be talking sense!”

The insults and venomous remarks were so severe that they would have caused a normal person to go mentally ill if they had heard them.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo gritted his teeth and endured the pain until his lips bled.

But he did not give up this opportunity easily. In order to get revenge on Choi Min-hyeok, he had to gain the approval of Director Lee Chang-myeong.

“Sir, we have to file a lawsuit anyway. Otherwise, ETRI will treat us, Oseong Electronics, like idiots. Are you really going to let that happen?”

“You little pig, do you want to die?”

Although a sense of humiliation and anger welled up in him at the repeated harsh remarks, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo endured it and endured it again.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo repeated his thoughts in a calm voice, despite his pig-like size.

“In return, you get something. You get protection for the work our company has done so far.”

“What does that mean?”

Now that he was confident that the conversation could proceed, Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo began to persuade them.

“According to what I found out through ETRI, DL Information and Communications’s General Manager Kim Hyeon-tak is involved in this matter. As time goes by, other companies will probably not stay still either. So we need to file a lawsuit to protect our rights.”

Director Lee Chang-myeong also came to his senses belatedly. If he were to step down like this, he might not get anything. Furthermore, it could be a huge blow when time passes and he is held accountable.

As Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo argued, something had to be done.

He looked at Chief Ahn Gook-ho, who was still keeping his mouth shut, with cold eyes, then spoke to Senior Chief Kim Hyeon-woo again.

“…Tell me more.”

“Once we file a lawsuit, we can secure our existing rights. For example, we can assert our rights in the area related to receiver chips. We can use that as an excuse to extend our rights to other areas, and if that happens, other companies will also watch our eyes.”

Although it is true that Oseong Electronics was the first to cause the problem, there was also a clause in the contract between the two companies regarding changes in specifications.

Even though it is far-fetched, if ETRI is pressured using this contract as an excuse, ETRI cannot just ignore it.

Even if ETRI still has the upper hand in the lawsuit, if the lawsuit goes all the way to the Supreme Court and drags on, the project currently in progress may be halted.

Director Lee Chang-myeong, whose anger had subsided, only then nodded with a serious expression.

“Well, it’s a natural claim, given the investments we’ve made so far. And?”

“If that happens, those like DL Information and Communications, who are greedy for this project, will take a step back. Then we can secure our rights.”

“like.”

Only then did Director Lee Chang-myeong agree. He looked at Manager Ahn Guk-ho, who was lost in thought, with an irritated look.

Chief Ahn Gook-ho looked at Senior Chief Kim Hyeon-woo with scary eyes.

I realized that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was trying to approach Director Lee Chang-myeong using this incident as an excuse.

‘That kid.’

But Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo opened his mouth as if he was unaware of such gaze.

“Apart from this incident, I honestly haven’t figured out what Director Choi Min-hyeok has been up to yet. However, we have the right to secure the portion we have invested in this project so far. If we can secure that, we can gain an advantageous position in various negotiations, and we can also make things not go as Director Choi Min-hyeok wants.”

Lee Chang -myung was also worried that he could fuck Choi Min -hyuk’s chief of the dog.

Of course, things may not go as planned by Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.

But the problem is how to deal with this. I have to resolve the situation somehow, or else I’ll end up taking the blame for everything.

If that happened, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to survive at Oseong Electronics even if he was the chairman’s illegitimate son.

‘That bastard An Jae-woon from the Management Planning Office might try to use this incident as an excuse to get out. There are already rumors that he couldn’t adapt to Ohsung Electronics and went to study abroad in Japan, so he might use this as an excuse to stay in the company. We can’t let that happen!’

Chairman Ahn Geon-min’s eldest son, Ahn Jae-woon, joined the management planning department of Oseong Electronics after graduating from the Department of History at Seoul National University.

However, contrary to what others expected, he did not adapt well to the management planning department.

Ahn Jae-woon’s actions were different from those of third-generation business tycoons, so rumors spread within the company, knowingly or unknowingly. In particular, as Director Choi Min-hyeok gained a unique reputation, rumors spread even further behind the scenes. It’s just that the Ohsung Group manages information so thoroughly that it doesn’t spread outside.

So, Director Lee Chang-myeong knew very well that now was the perfect opportunity.

I thought that if I could properly receive recognition from Chairman Ahn Geon-min and work my way up the ladder, I would be able to take care of at least one subsidiary of the Oseong Group, even though I had limitations as an illegitimate child.

Just like none other than Director Choi Min-hyeok.

The actions of Choi Min-hyeok, who received over 1 trillion won worth of stocks, were like his role model.

However, when I thought of Director Choi Min-hyeok, my anger surged up again.

‘The more I think about it, the angrier I get.’

Director Lee Chang-myeong trembled for a while due to emotions such as envy, jealousy, and anger.

It wouldn’t have been so bad if Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had stepped in and expanded the work.

‘If things go well by quietly filing a lawsuit, that’s great, but if things go worst, you can blame it all on Chief Kim.’

Of course, it was difficult to continue like this.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had to be deeply involved in this matter.

“Okay. That’s a good idea. Are you sure?”

“Of course. I know Director Choi Min-hyeok better than anyone else, and I can handle this matter well.”

Director Lee Chang-myeong pretended to praise Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, but then quietly pointed out one thing.

“This issue is not something that will end within Oseong Electronics, so if it gets worse, I won’t be able to do anything about it.”

“that…….”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo quickly read Director Lee Chang-myeong’s cold gaze and realized his true intentions. But it didn’t matter. They couldn’t continue like this.

High risk, high return.

‘This is your chance.’

“I will take responsibility for everything.”

“Okay. Chief Kim, take charge of everything and create a piece.”

“thank you.”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo bowed deeply and soon left the office.

Director Ahn Gook-ho opened his mouth with an anxious expression.

“Do you trust Chief Kim?”

“I can’t believe it.”

“yes?”

Director Lee Chang-myeong, who was cosplaying as the incarnation of wrath, suddenly changed his expression to his usual one, as if he was playing the lead role in a romantic film.

“No, think about it. Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo said he would step forward and take responsibility for the satellite business. So I have no choice but to watch.”

Only then did Manager Ahn Gook-ho start to get a little greedy.

“But I too… … .”

“If something goes wrong, will Manager Ahn Gook-ho take full responsibility? He could even get fired from the company, but he’s still going to try?”

“yes?!”

Manager Ahn Gook-ho was surprised.

Director Lee Chang-myeong said with a cold look in his eyes.

“The losses we’ve suffered so far are in the hundreds of billions. Someone has to take responsibility. Are you just going to lightly talk about it and move on? Do you know that not only Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong, but also Vice President Hwang Jun-yeop are trying to get rid of me whenever they get the chance?”

Planning Director Kwon Tae-seong also dislikes Director Lee Chang-myeong, but Vice President Hwang Jun-yeop was no different. In fact, there were only a handful of people within Oseong Electronics who truly followed Director Lee Chang-myeong.

At those creepy words, Chief Ahn Gook-ho stepped back with his mouth wide open.

He quickly realized that Director Lee Chang-myeong was looking for a scapegoat.

Director Lee Chang-myeong said with a blunt face.

“Chief Vice President Kim Hyun-woo’s argument makes sense. We’ve done this before. And if you’re that anxious, Chief Ahn should look into Chief Kim’s actions.”

“…All right.”

Manager Cheon Seon-gu had been going through anxious days after the business division was disbanded, but with no other alternative, he held on, trusting only in Senior Manager Kim Hyeon-woo.

After Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo received Director Lee Chang-myeong’s approval, Manager Cheon Seon-gu was only watching Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s expression.
