Real Man

It was an ironic sight to see them fighting through the media while being in the same building, but it certainly drew the attention of the public.

The news of the exhibition flooded the media, and the news related to Hansung ranked high every day.

Gerard Kim, who received a boost, expanded his territory to broadcasting.

On the last day of the MWC exhibition, he appeared on a live current affairs program.

At the same time, Yoo-hyun was sitting comfortably in front of the TV in the living room.

On his phone, there was a picture taken by Jang Junsik, an assistant, at the Catalunya Square.

It was the fifth proof shot, and the proud junior had finished all the missions that Yoo-hyun had given him.

Yoo-hyun chuckled as he examined the picture carefully.

“He’s smiling now.”

Maybe he was in a good mood that day, or maybe he had some leisure to enjoy, Yoo-hyun didn’t know.

But what was clear was that Jang Junsik, an assistant, was growing.

This could be seen from the results he had sent from the exhibition.

It was not only Jang Junsik, an assistant.

The other colleagues who appeared in the picture also produced great results.

The exhibition seemed to be a good opportunity for them.

What would they look like when they came back?

He was thinking about that when Gerard Kim appeared on the TV screen.

There had never been a Hansung employee who appeared on such a current affairs program.

It was an unprecedented event, but the label of a former famous journalist made everything possible.

The tricky thing about Gerard Kim was that he could manipulate the media freely like this.

But did he know?

That his opponent was actually hoping for his attack.

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up involuntarily.

The current affairs program host exchanged some light greetings with Gerard Kim.

Soon after, Gerard Kim explained his actions with witty words.

“I joined Hansung to untangle the tangled Korean economy…”

His tone was light, but the audience in the studio was immersed because of the heavy content.

In a serious atmosphere, the host brought up the main point.

-Mr. Gerard Kim, you emphasized responsible management, but how do you think Vice President Shin Kyung-wook can take responsibility?

-It’s simple. He said he could succeed by improving the internal problems, so he just needs to prove it.

-To what extent does he need to succeed to prove it?

-Well, I think he should at least record a significant increase in market share from the current level. Something that everyone can agree on.

Gerard Kim spoke vaguely and passed the baton to Vice President Shin Kyung-wook.

He also provoked him by saying that he needed a public response with a smile.

He predicted Vice President Shin Kyung-wook’s behavior and acted accordingly.

Yoo-hyun sneered as he watched the rest of the interview.

“Is that all?”

It was a weak attack that could make Kim bleed.

He should have used the media to shake the whole Hansung Group, but Gerard Kim tried to stay within the line.

This was why Gerard Kim was careful.

It was because Chairman Shin Hyun-ho was still alive and well.

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s presence suppressed not only Gerard Kim but also Shin Kyungsoo’s ambition.

This was something that had never happened in the past.

It was a bit dull, but the situation was not bad.

He had tied up everything he could, and it was time to wrap it up.

Ring. Ring.

He received a call from Park Doo-sik, a section chief, who wanted the same thing.

-It’s over. We’re going to do a counterattack interview right away.

-You’ve worked hard. I’ll buy you a drink later.

He sent a reply right away with gratitude.

Park Doo-sik, a section chief, had suffered a lot in many ways.

Soon after, Vice President Shin Kyung-wook’s interview was published as an article.

The title was so provocative that it entered the ranking news in an instant.

The gap in smartphone market share between Ilsung and Hansung was more than five times.

This was beyond the level that everyone could accept, and it was almost a ridiculous statement.

The reaction was bound to be hot.

-Isn’t that too bold? Hansung is about to be eaten by Chinese companies.

-Shin Kyung-wook is refreshing for a chaebol, but he’s playing too hard.

-But didn’t he keep his promise on LCD sales? It would be amazing if he kept it this time too.

-If smartphones were that easy, would Nokia or Motorola have gone bankrupt?

-Gerard Kim got screwed. There’s no need to watch the successor selection.

It looked like he had fallen into a trap by himself.

At the shareholders’ meeting next year, this remark would haunt him for a long time.

Surely Shin Kyungsoo and his gang would think so?

They might even pop champagne already.

He imagined the obvious situation and Yoo-hyun lifted his lips.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

He received a call from Kwon Se-jung, an assistant.

He answered the phone and an excited voice flowed through the receiver.

-Yoo-hyun, did you see the article?

“Vice President’s article?”

-Yeah. The one he interviewed. Wow, it really turned out like this.

Kwon Se-jung, an assistant, exclaimed unexpectedly.

“What a funny guy. You’re so concerned about it when you have a business trip.”

-Of course I have to be concerned. It’s our Hansung’s future at stake.

Kwon Se-jung, an assistant, was serious.

It seemed that the aftermath of the last drinking party was still lingering.

“Is that why you called me?”

-Of course. I’m curious and I can’t help it. Vice President will go to the group management headquarters, right?

“Why do you think so?”

-It’s the perfect opportunity for the organizational innovation and the smartphone division integration that you mentioned.

This guy, look at him?

Yoo-hyun paused for a moment and opened his mouth again.

“Go on.”

-The article said that Vice President met the preconditions, right? That’s also what he’s been mentioning all along.

“So?”

-It looks like he deliberately prepared to go into the tiger’s den, doesn’t it?

“In what way?”

-First of all, he turned the tables on what the other side had mentioned…

As Yoo-hyun tightened his questions, Kwon Se-jung, an assistant, answered them smoothly.

At the same time, he revealed all the cards that Vice President Shin Kyung-wook had laid out while playing the media.

He seemed to have read every article in detail even while on a business trip.

He also showed his sense of connecting it with the group management headquarters.

Kwon Se-jung, an assistant, understood even the things that the other strategist didn’t know.

Even if he had heard the background from Yoo-hyun, it was not easy.

Yoo-hyun admired his colleague who showed a broader perspective.

“Wow! Se-jung, you’re better.”

-What are you talking about?

“I mean, come back soon.”

-I got it. My heart is pounding already. I’m so excited.

“Don’t overdo it, and buy some souvenirs.”

Maybe it was because he moved as he had predicted?

Kwon Se-jung, an assistant’s voice was brighter than ever.

He thought of his colleague who was worried about something else even on a business trip and chuckled.

“You should have told me earlier.”

As Kwon Se-jung, an assistant predicted, Vice President Shin Kyung-wook headed straight to the group management headquarters.

And he showed his will to Vice Chairman Im Hyuk-su, who he met there.

“Vice Chairman, please give me the full authority to reorganize the organization. I will make the smartphone business a success.”

“I can’t go back once I agree. If you fail, you will be out of the successor selection. Do you need to take such a risk so soon?”

“It’s okay. I can do it.”

He said he wanted to go into the tiger’s den, so Vice Chairman Im Hyuk-su had no reason to stop him.

And this was what Vice President Shin Kyungsoo wanted.

Eventually, Vice Chairman Im Hyuk-su accepted the report that Vice President Shin Kyung-wook handed him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It contained the image of the reorganized organization that Vice President Shin Kyung-wook envisioned.

Snap.

But what?

His mind changed after flipping a few pages of the report.

Vice President Shin Kyung-wook was already ready for the organizational innovation.

It meant that he had prepared for all this for a long time.

“…”

Vice Chairman Im Hyuk-su lost his words and looked at Vice President Shin Kyung-wook.

His eyes, which were hard to guess the depth, met him.

‘This is interesting, more than I thought.’

For a moment, Vice Chairman Im Hyuk-su’s lips stretched up.

The reorganization began with the approval of the group management headquarters.

It was a matter that required moving not only Hansung Electronics but also the entire affiliates.

The key to this was the management strategy department.

Since it was the direction that the other side wanted, the work proceeded without any special resistance.

The management strategy department had drawn a good outline, and Team Leader Nadoyeon also rolled up his sleeves and joined the situation.

Yoo-hyun had no worries about how the integrated organization would be formed.

Yoo-hyun’s concern was elsewhere.

Tick.

He tapped the phone screen and the chat window of Messenger With switched.

-Interview Bot: Double Y total interviewees 35, confirmed hires 1.

Two more interviewees were added today, but there were no confirmed hires.

The only person who was hired in the beginning was an accountant, not a developer.

If this went on, it seemed unlikely that more people would be added in a few days.

“Just hire some.”

He received a call from Park Young-hoon, who had attended the interview as an interviewer.

He answered the phone and he complained right away.

-Yoo-hyun, come and do some interviews.

“You said you could handle it.”

-I did. I did, but it’s not fair for me.

“Why is that today?”

-Well, Doha, that guy…

It seemed that Nadoha, who participated as an interviewer, had shaken off the interviewees again.

The interviewees were not mediocre.

They were experienced professionals from famous IT companies that Park Young-hoon had brought in.

They were not only experienced but also skilled.

They were not good enough to beat Nadoha.

“What about the design?”

-The design is the same. Doha kept digging into UX design and stuff, and he said he couldn’t work with them.

“Why is he so dissatisfied with the design?”

-He wants someone at the level of Jaehui. He said there was no one he could communicate with.

“That’s because he learned from Jaehui for the first time.”

Han Jaehui was the first person who taught Nadoha the concept of mobile UX.

Since then, Nadoha’s eyes had risen sharply as he experienced Silicon Valley.

Now, even Han Jaehui might not fit his eyes.

It meant that he had to somehow lower Nadoha’s standards.

He was thinking of a way when Park Young-hoon said something else.

-I don’t know. But Doha, he seems to be looking for people.

“People?”

-He thinks of us as family, you know. He hates having people he doesn’t like around.

“That’s going to make it harder to find employees.”

-That’s right.

There was some truth to Park Young-hoon’s words.

Nadoha was the type who built a fence with the name of family.

He was generous to the people inside, but very exclusive to the others.

It was probably because of his past memories of being exploited by bad adults.

Yoo-hyun understood his feelings, but he couldn’t leave it like this.

He hung up the phone and Yoo-hyun’s worries deepened.

“What should I do…”

As he leaned back on his chair and blinked his eyes, Team Leader An Jaekyung approached him.

“You look troubled.”

“Just a little. Have a seat.”

Yoo-hyun guided him to an empty chair, and Team Leader An Jaekyung handed him a lavender tea.

“Here, drink this.”

“I don’t know if I can drink this every day.”

“It’s enough for me that you’re my friend. Oh, and this too.”

As he sat down, Team Leader An Jaekyung handed him a small plastic bag.
