Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Kim Ho-geol, the senior manager, began to review the projects that he had done last year and the ones that he was working on this year. “Our team has...” As he listened to the explanation, Go Jun-ho, the executive director, asked in a voice tinged with anger. “Did you transfer the color phone touch panel project and the touch component localization project to Team 1?” “Yes, that’s right.” “Then what’s left for the advanced product team?” He burst into fury and Kim Ho-geol answered in a trembling voice. “We are planning to operate the circuit and panel around the ultra-high resolution project.” “Huh, really. You keep saying advanced, advanced, but you’re going all the way to the front.” “We have a plan for commercialization.” “What is it? Let me see it.” At the word commercialization, Go Jun-ho gasped. He was very sensitive to performance. “The presentation will be done by the product planning team.” “...” Kim Ho-geol swallowed his dry saliva and stepped back. While Kim Young-gil, the manager, was preparing, there was silence in the conference room. In this situation, Yoo-hyun knew a few facts. No one had reported to Go Jun-ho in advance. That meant the team and the person in charge were disconnected. And Go Jun-ho was very dissatisfied with the advanced product team itself. And the people here were very wary of him. In a word, it was a total mess. Kim Ho-geol, the team leader, passed the baton to Kim Young-gil, the manager, who bowed his head. “Then I’ll start the presentation.” “Go ahead.” “Yes, sir.” Following Kim Young-gil’s signal, Yoo-hyun displayed the screen on the laptop. The project title appeared in large letters. -Ultra-high resolution panel project: Phase 1 (Prototype production) Kim Young-gil calmly continued the explanation. “Let me explain the overview of the whole project first...” The total project period was two years, but considering the development performance, it was divided into three stages. The first one was the prototype production that would take place this year. The schedule was to complete by October, and the goal was set for the Apple demo. “And the second stage is to secure price competitiveness, starting from next year...” Kim Young-gil was in the middle of his speech. Go Jun-ho slammed the desk and drew attention. “Cut out the nonsense. So you’re going to make a prototype and demo it this year?” “Yes, that’s right.” “To Apple?” “Yes. We are currently targeting Apple and preparing in advance.” “...” There was silence in the conference room for a moment. Go Jun-ho’s expression was not very good. He was the person who had been in charge of Apple until recently. Of course, he knew Apple better than anyone. It was easy to say, but if you touched them wrong, they would make you pay dearly. “Kim Manager, you know that because you’ve dealt with Apple kids with me.” “Yes, sir.” “But, you’re pushing a project that looks like it won’t work to Apple?” “According to what I’ve found out, with the skills of the advanced product development team...” “Stop the nonsense. Do you think this is really possible?” Go Jun-ho’s gaze turned to Kim Ho-geol, the team leader. It meant that he wanted an answer right away. “Kim Team Leader, tell me.” “I thought it would be nice to make the goal a little more specific with the idea we were going to do this year...” “Don’t be frustrating, just tell me if this is possible.” “...” Kim Ho-geol bowed his head at Go Jun-ho’s snort. The part leaders turned away from the team leader. The team members looked away as if it was not their business. That made Go Jun-ho boil with anger. “Why can’t you even figure out the project you’ve raised?” “...” He might look like a hothead, but he had a reason for getting angry. And behind that, his desire to climb higher was hidden. Yoo-hyun bowed his head and then drew Go Jun-ho’s attention with a strong tone. “Sir, this is a feasible project.” “Are you saying that because you’re an employee? You have guts.” “Thank you. Then I’d like to explain why.” “Go ahead.” “Yes. First, let me show you the data.” Seeing is believing. As Yoo-hyun switched the screen, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the screen. “This is the list of things that we thought were difficult in this project. It’s also the detailed project items of the advanced product team.” “...” He gathered all the situations where there was a risk in the circuit and panel. He revealed the difficulties without any exaggeration. Anyone would think it was an unreasonable project. Go Jun-ho tilted his head in wonder, as if it was unexpected. “Looking at this, where do you think it will work? It looks like it won’t work at all.” Yoon Ki-chun immediately responded. “That’s what I was talking about. The risk is too high.” Later, voices popped up here and there. “Well, I don’t think it’s impossible, but it’s difficult.” “It seems impossible to meet the schedule.” They were all trying to win Go Jun-ho’s favor by eating their own flesh. This team was not trying to work, but farting around. The only ones who had their heads on straight didn’t even have the courage to open their mouths. This was not the image of the skilled advanced product team that Yoo-hyun remembered. At this point, they were nothing more than a grain of sand organization. He needed to shake up this atmosphere. While Yoo-hyun waited for a moment, Go Jun-ho’s expression became more distorted. He was disappointed by the ridiculous sight of the team members. As the voices died down, Yoo-hyun opened his mouth. “I agree that this project is difficult.” “You’re not just saying that.” “Yes, that’s right.” Yoo-hyun nodded and Go Jun-ho flashed his eyes and asked. “Then what do you want to say?” “I wanted to talk about this while looking at this.” Click. As he said that, Yoo-hyun pressed the button. The corresponding departments were listed in the blank space next to the detailed project items. Ultra-fast interface new development: CTO (LCD business unit affiliated research institute) circuit technology team. Multi-channel new IC development: CTO IC development team. LTPS substrate design: Future product research institute OLED panel development team. High-density liquid crystal integration method: CTO SLC panel research team. High-resolution multi-touch method: CTO convergence technology team. ... Yoo-hyun continued the flow before it was interrupted. “These are the departments that we met in person and confirmed their availability.” “...” Of course, he only confirmed, not agreed. In fact, the chances of it happening were slim. But that was not important right now. The point was that Go Jun-ho was silent and his expression hardened when he saw the screen. He spoke boldly to him, who looked serious. “Although difficulties are expected, there are corresponding departments for all items.” “So?” “If we get help from these departments, I think we can easily solve the problems that you are worried about, sir.” “...” He was polite, but the meaning behind it was not. If Yoo-hyun’s words were true, the project could proceed without the advanced product team. In this case, the advanced product team only gave the idea, but had no performance. Yoo-hyun confirmed Go Jun-ho’s twisted expression and delivered the final blow. “And currently, Team 3 is interested in the next-generation iPhone business...” “Stop.” As expected, Go Jun-ho flared up. He was silent with a complicated expression, and Yoo-hyun waited for him.
