#705.

[But the factory’s reaction will be different. They will not tolerate this.]

Director Kwon Tae-seong was also secretly annoyed. He continued to raise his tone, perhaps because he had already been nagged by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

[It’s your job to mediate that. And that’s why I called you!!]

Director Im Kwon-soo was startled. He was also greatly embarrassed because it was the first time he had seen Director Kwon Tae-seong react like this.

[Ha, but you won’t listen to me. As you well know… … .]

Director Kwon Tae-seong shouted, unlike before.

[Try to have a secret meeting with the factory this time. It was something that had to be done anyway. And you’re saying you won’t follow the orders? Then, get out of the company!!!]

[…yes.]

Director Im Kwon-soo was secretly angry, but he couldn’t bring himself to refute the claim. This was because Director Kwon Tae-seong’s reaction was completely different from before.

‘What on earth happened?’

* * *

Director Im Kwon-soo still had a lot to say, but he didn’t bother to say anything. Since he had already sent the report, it was something he could just check.

After reviewing the report, he printed it out and passed it on to Vice Minister Hwang Gwang-su.

Vice Minister Hwang Gwang-su continued to read the report while blinking.

“Hey, is this real?”

“Yes. It’s a direct order from Director Kwon Tae-seong. He said it’s already been reported to the president, so I have no choice but to do as I’m told.”

“Even so, that’s true. Does that make sense? Renting battery production facilities for future technology? No, and what’s this? You’re even offering gratitude.”

“Ha, I don’t know. Since the order came down, I have no choice but to follow it. Since it’s a matter that has already been approved by the president, there’s no other way. I have to do as I’m told!”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Vice President Hwang Gwang-su continued to vent his grievances. He thought he had been promoted to a higher position when he transferred to Oseong Electronics.

But now, I am in a situation where I have to take orders from the president of that affiliate, not KM Electronics.

He wondered if this was why he had moved to Oseong Electronics.

‘shit.’

* * *

The recently established battery production plant in Suwon was established by remodeling existing factory facilities as the battery industry has recently emerged as a hot topic.

Even though it was a newly launched business, the atmosphere was not bad.

Because we supply batteries that go into mobile products sold by Osung Electronics.

So demand was steady.

It meant that performance would continue to increase somewhat in the future.

Because this business itself had such high future value, there were many applicants.

Director Jeon Young-soo, who was in the mobile phone division and then took over this division, staked his life on the future value of this battery division.

‘This is an opportunity. If I can succeed this time, I can continue to move up!’

As the battery division grows, his position is expected to rise.

In reality, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

It was no different for Senior Vice President Yoon Sang-soo, who followed him into this division.

However, the two people could not hide their bewilderment at the sudden instructions from the Oseong Electronics Planning Office.

The order is to rent battery production facilities.

At first I thought this was a joke.

However, Director Im Kwon-soo, who appeared at this location, could not even look Director Jeon Yeong-soo in the eye.

“I’m sorry, but this is an agenda item that was directly ordered by Director Kwon Tae-seong. Managing Director Ahn Jae-woon is already aware of this, and he has even reported it to the president.”

Director Jeon Yeong-su is over 190cm tall, although he has a thin body. He harassed Director Im Kwon-su like an angry tiger.

“Are you kidding me? Future technology will help us use this production facility efficiently!!”

“…I know.”

He laughed at Director Im Kwon-soo. He knew very well that he was from the KM Group. So he didn’t think he would know how serious the internal conflict was within Oseong Electronics.

“What do you know? Does your planning team even know what production facilities are? Do you think that if you just sit in the office and submit a plan, everything will be fine? Do you even know how important this production facility is?!!!”

Director Jeon Yeong-su’s attitude of shouting until his throat was torn was unavoidable.

None of the employees who joined this division liked the work.

Oh, of course I know that future technology recently received 250 billion in investment.

But Future Technologies is a company whose sales last year were only close to 4 billion.

Even if we say that there are only about 30 employees in the company.

To take orders from such a company’s executives and employees.

This was an order that Director Jeon Young-soo, a graduate of Korea University’s Department of Electronic Engineering, found absolutely difficult to accept.

“This isn’t just my complaint. No, doesn’t it make sense?”

Manager Im Kwon-soo also felt the atmosphere of the factory. However, he could not postpone this matter. It was because of Director Kwon Tae-seong’s different reaction than before.

“I know, but there’s nothing I can do right now. Just do as I say.”

Director Jeon Young-soo eventually changed his attitude after hearing the same story over and over again.

“Okay. I’ll contact Director Kwon directly.”

“yes.”

* * *

Director Jeon Yeong-su eventually called Director Kwon Tae-seong in the U.S. Fortunately, Director Kwon Tae-seong answered the phone, even though he thought he wouldn’t answer because of the time difference.

However, Director Kwon Tae-seong fully understood the other person’s actions when he found out that the other person was Director Jeon Yeong-su. The battery division was not simply a division. It was a division with good future business potential that could be separated into an affiliate within just 2-3 years.

He did not ignore Director Jeon Yeong-su, who was targeting such a business division.

Director Jeon Young-soo has put everything on the line for this battery division.

Director Kwon Tae-seong also did not change the subject.

[This is a matter of instruction from the Chairman.]

Director Jeon Yeong-su was startled when a completely unexpected person appeared.

[Huh? Oh, no, why on earth is the chairman there?]

Director Kwon Tae-seong also clicked his tongue inwardly. In this case, he had to report directly to Chairman Ahn Geon-min because of Executive Director Ahn Jae-woon. In the process, he had no choice but to mention Director Choi Min-hyeok’s proposal.

But there was no need to go that far.

[This is a matter of instruction from the Chairman, so please understand. If you are really curious, you can call the Chairman directly to confirm.]

Of course, I didn’t mean to actually call Chairman Ahn Geon-min.

Director Naburangi could not directly call the Chairman of the Oseong Group to confirm.

[Excuse me, is this really what the Chairman ordered?]

Director Kwon Tae-seong also spoke cautiously when he realized Director Jeon Young-soo’s true intentions.

[It is difficult to reveal the details. However, it is true that Chairman Ahn approved it. It was all reported to the president.]

[… … .]

After hanging up the phone, Director Jeon Young-soo remained silent for a while.

Director Im Kwon-soo was also embarrassed. He also heard the conversation from the side.

This was by no means an easy task.

Fortunately, the person waiting arrived.

[Future Technology CEO Bae Jong-gu has arrived.]

In fact, future technology battery production facilities are largely manual.

Although some production facilities have been replaced with unmanned processes, there is still a long way to go.

What is surprising is that the battery production facilities within Oseong Electronics are fully automated.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first battery production facility in the country.

Director Jeon Young-soo opened his mouth while glancing at the future technology staff.

“As the first facility in Korea, we have significantly improved the defect rate. We have already started producing KMP-01 prototypes, and the defect rate is only around 1%.”

As expected from an automated process, the battery production equipment continued to operate.

The buzzing sound was like a heartbeat.

The entire factory facility vibrated as if it were alive.

Director Jeon Yeong-su looked at the equipment as if he was looking at his own child and stroked it with his hand.

“This facility, which cost 20 billion won to build, is world-class.”

“… … .”

President Bae Jong-gu did not say anything to Director Jeon Yeong-su’s voice.

Even though it was an automated facility, there were employees from Oseong Electronics checking the facilities everywhere. They also looked at President Bae Jong-gu with cold eyes.

‘Well, I don’t think I’d like it.’

He had already heard the story from Director Choi Min-hyeok before coming here.

But honestly, he didn’t even want to show his factory to outsiders.

Five-star electronics will add more.

However, Executive Director Yoon Jong-soo was unable to read the mood.

“Wow, this is no joke. Even if you have the funds, it doesn’t seem like it would be easy to set up such equipment.”

It was natural.

If mass production technology is a technology, then it is a technology.

No, it may actually be more difficult than the original technology.

Because this can only be done through experience, not technology.

Moreover, it was not a task that took a day or two to build a system using new equipment.

In fact, Director Jeon Young-soo did not necessarily use completely new equipment.

The work was based on equipment that had already been verified to some extent.

Even when Future Technology received a 50 billion won investment from Oseong Electronics, they did think about their own production facilities. They even expanded their own factories.

However, Oseong Electronics created its own business division and even built an automated factory.

The results clearly showed the difference in capabilities between the two companies.

In fact, future technologies are being prototyped, but problems continue to arise.

But Oseong Electronics was a bit different. This one went into mass production without a hitch.

However, there were many problems related to KMB-01, so it was not easy to solve them.

Of course, most of it is related to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

It was difficult to mass produce the product because Director Choi Min-hyeok was causing a commotion even with the license.

Only then did President Bae Jong-gu seem to understand why Director Choi Min-hyeok had recommended this method.

‘Are you telling me to learn from Oh Sung Electronics?’

As he predicted, Team Leader Heo Jong-jin clicked his tongue as he carefully inspected the battery production facilities once again and realized the power of Osung Electronics. He realized the reality of his satisfaction with entering the future technology.

I just now realized why it’s called Osung Electronics, Osung Electronics.

That’s because the Electronic Components Research Institute is simply a place for research.

In reality, it was a place far from mass production.

So, it’s inevitable that you have no experience.

Director Jeon Young-soo was not happy with the future technology staff, but he smiled when he saw them staring wide-eyed at his production facilities. He thought he had taken the initiative and raised his voice.

“This battery automation production facility is… … .”

President Bae Jong-gu kept an eye on Director Jeon Yeong-su while listening to his story.

‘But I’m not sure if that’ll be okay. Our position is different from Director Choi Min-hyeok’s.’

A slightly worried look.

It was no different for future technology executives and staff.

They too felt the factory atmosphere belatedly.

‘Ha, in order to make things progress quickly, we need to take the initiative, so I guess we’ll have to ask Director Choi for help.’

* * *

Choi Min-hyeok had no intention of pressuring Oh Sung Electronics, but he couldn’t just watch when he saw Director Kwon Tae-seong hesitating.

Furthermore, after seeing fake news related to the sale of Apple, he directly called Director Kwon Tae-seong and pushed for the work.

However, I wasn’t sure if things were going well.

Team Leader Jo Seong-don was not unaware of that. He was particularly concerned about one thing.

“I guess the Ohseong Electronics production team must have a lot of pride.”

“It must be worse than our factory workers?”

“You can’t say anything. Even if you give orders from above, you might not follow them. Or you can sabotage them. You can say that the future technology staff made a mistake and stopped production. There are many ways.”

The bullying of factory workers is something that can be found in any company.

It exists even among workers in the same factory.

Labor unions are a prime example.

Although they claim to be working for the interests of workers, they did not hesitate to resort to violence to seize power.
