#707.
That’s actually the case.
Oseong Electronics had already received a license to produce the KMB-01 battery. It was now in the final stages of mass production. Various aging tests, including high and low temperatures, were being conducted on the initial quantity.
In fact, if you look at it one way, Director Jeon Yeong-su had everything set up for mass production of the KMB-01. And it was no different from donating all of the equipment to Future Technology.
Director Kwon Tae-seong also knew this well, but he also knew well that if Director Choi Min-hyeok tried to trick him, the production itself would have to be shut down.
That was the reason why he listened to what Director Choi Min-hyeok wanted.
However, the position of Director Jeon Yeong-su of this division was different. He was a human being. He had a hard time accepting future technology.
Choi Min-hyeok became more persistent in his insistence on Director Jeon Yeong-su’s voice, which was hesitating. He pointed out one of the people in the conference room that he had already heard about through Team Leader Heo Jong-jin.
[Team Leader Heo, is there anyone from the Osung Electronics Planning Department over there?]
[Yes. His name is Director Im Kwon-soo… … .]
Manager Im Kwon-soo tried to sneak out of the factory in a difficult situation.
He was caught stalking toward the factory gate with his heels up.
He opened his mouth with an awkward smile, glancing at Director Jeon Yeong-su.
[This is Manager Im Kwon-soo.]
[Oh, it’s a bit noisy and it’s hard to talk. Please go to the conference room and contact me.]
* * *
The conference room was quiet.
Even when Choi Min-hyuk suddenly called, no one came to their senses.
After moving to the conference room, things were a bit different.
They also realized the situation too late.
Some of them looked anxious when they realized that Executive Director Ahn Jae-woon was also involved in this incident.
Of course, Director Jeon Yeong-su, who had not yet felt a sense of crisis, was looking at himself with cold eyes, with his arms crossed. The funny thing is that the executives and staff of this division were no different.
He created a murderous atmosphere as if he would have shot anyone with a gun at any moment if he had one.
Perhaps that’s why the future technology executives and staff couldn’t even look at them.
Choi Min-hyuk’s voice rang through the speakerphone again.
[Director Im Kwon-soo, oh, he was in the planning department at KM Group headquarters.]
[Oh, yes.]
Director Im Kwon-soo was surprised. He never thought that Director Choi Min-hyeok would remember his name. Especially over the phone.
However, Choi Min-hyeok did not forget the person who had bothered him like a fly when he was in the middle of a fierce confrontation with Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung in his previous life.
However, I couldn’t bring up such a trivial matter now.
‘Wait, did you transfer to Oseong Electronics? Did the future change because of what I did?’
There were some questionable points, but I let them go for now.
[Well, you know that Director Kwon Tae-seong has already approved this. The work being done in future technology is closely related to the work of Oseong Electronics. I know you may be uncomfortable, but please follow our instructions.]
The person who got involved was Senior Vice President Yoon Sang-soo, who was said to be Director Jeon Young-soo’s closest associate.
[This is Senior Vice President Yoon Sang-soo. I don’t think this is a problem that can be simply dismissed. This battery automation production facility is incomparable to future technology. The interference of future technology employees is actually causing problems!!]
Choi Min-hyeok also admitted it readily. He immediately confirmed that some of the facts were that the Future Technology staff had caused the accident. However, he did not insist on admitting it.
[I know. It might be a little uncomfortable.]
It wasn’t that uncomfortable. The battery business unit executives and staff had to tell us all about their know-how. But the future technology executives and staff didn’t give us any information. They just gave unilateral instructions.
Of course, the opposite is also true.
In the end, there’s no way the mood will be good for either of them.
So, Minhyuk Choi started to threaten rather than persuade.
[But what you need to know is that this work has already been approved by Director Kwon Tae-seong and is being carried out. Ultimately, it will benefit O-seong Electronics. If things go wrong, you will have to take responsibility. If Executive Director Ahn Jae-woon finds out, wouldn’t it be difficult for him to keep his position?]
Director Jeon Yeong-su laughed in vain when the story of ‘Executive Director Ahn Jae-woon’ came up.
[Of course, we are not ignoring future technologies. However, the battery production facilities were expanded solely by our Oseong Electronics.]
[Yes, we have to admit that. But without our technology, we wouldn’t be able to operate that facility anyway. You know that, right?]
[…What are you talking about?]
[I acknowledge the capabilities of your production team. I am talking to you on the phone, but I am checking the equipment you sent me with photos. The equipment is pretty good. However, the equipment that is currently being operated is entirely our future technology.]
Director Jeon Young-soo didn’t even blink an eye and didn’t get angry at Choi Min-hyeok’s words, which were about to swallow up all of his achievements.
He didn’t quite understand Director Choi Min-hyeok.
Why on earth are they harassing the battery division like this?
Choi Min-hyuk chuckled.
[There is no need to think too hard about it. Our future technology and Oseong Electronics are collaborating with each other. Think of it that way. So please follow the instructions even if they are a bit unclear.]
Director Jeon Yeong-su also couldn’t stand it any longer.
[Is Director Choi Min-hyeok bullying our Oseong Electronics right now?]
In fact, Choi Min-hyuk never thought of being bossy. He thought by his own standards.
However, if you think about it from the working-level perspective, this directive was quite unreasonable.
[Well, I don’t think so at all. It was agreed upon through Director Kwon Tae-seong. If there are any complaints, I will discuss it with Director Kwon again. Including Executive Director Ahn Jae-woon.]
Director Jeon Young-soo was angry and lost his temper. However, he understood that Director Choi Min-hyeok was telling him that he would come to an agreement with Director Kwon Tae-seong again. So he couldn’t help but be shocked.
[That’s not what I meant… … .]
However, Director Choi Min-hyeok did not say anything nice when he found out what the other person was feeling.
[This is a preliminary work that I and Osung Electronics are doing to build trust. If we can’t do this properly, there’s no reason for us to go together. If it’s really uncomfortable, should we end the contract here? Chairman Ahn Geon-min will probably be furious if he finds out about this!]
Let’s finish the contract.
Moreover, why is Chairman Ahn Geon-min’s name mentioned?
Director Jeon Yeong-su was also startled by the absurd statement.
[Oh, no. I understand what you mean, Director Choi.]
[Is that so? Then I will tell you clearly. If this doesn’t work out, there is no reason to proceed with Osung Electronics. The responsibility for this lies solely with Director Jeon Young-soo. The sale price of the Collins division is said to be 2-3 trillion won these days, and this is also your responsibility. Do you know what I mean?]
He said he was responsible for negotiating the sale of 2-3 trillion won.
It was something that the business division head, Naburangi, could never take responsibility for.
It was only later that he began to panic.
[Oh, I see.]
He ended up sighing at the threats made by Director Choi Min-hyeok. He thought Director Choi Min-hyeok would be easy because he was an employee of another company, but the situation was not like that.
Moreover, the conversation was heard by all the employees nearby through the speakerphone.
Only after hearing Director Choi Min-hyeok’s words did they realize that Director Choi Min-hyeok was not an easy person.
No, I realized that he was actually a scary character.
At least, that there is someone who has the ability to kick them out.
Director Choi Min-hyeok clearly instructed Director Im Kwon-soo on this.
[I don’t care about the conflicts that exist within Oseong Electronics. But at least when it comes to KM Electronics and Mirae Technology, please refrain from internal conflicts. Honestly, if you have feelings for each other, why would you go together? It would be better for both of us to just split up like this. Isn’t that right? Director Im Kwon-soo!]
[Oh, yes, ma, that’s right.]
[Okay. Since Director Im Kwon-soo promised, I’ll trust him for now. However, the results won’t be passed over like before. I’ll definitely hold them accountable. And Team Leader Heo Jong-jin.]
[Yes, yes!]
[I’m saying this out of concern, but if there’s any delay in the schedule, it’s bad. Since we’re now using the Oseong Electronics production facility, please produce as many KMB-01 samples as possible. Did you call the reporter there?]
[The reporter… … .]
Fortunately, we just received a report from the factory entrance that a reporter had arrived.
[Yes, I have arrived.]
[Good. Brief them that our future technology KMB-01 battery has started mass production. Tell them that this battery is ready for use right now.]
[…All right.]
Director Choi Min-hyeok’s applause could be heard through the speakerphone.
[Okay, the mood is good. Let’s finish the work hotly. It’s a win-win strategy for both Future Technology and Oseong Electronics.]
Of course, both companies benefited.
However, the production itself was carried out by Oseong Electronics.
Even mass production technology and mass production verification are the same.
Team Leader Heo Jong-jin stuck out his tongue as he looked at the dumbfounded expressions on the faces of the employees of the Osung Electronics Battery Division.
‘Director Choi is truly amazing.’
In his situation, it was like that.
However, things seemed different for the executives and employees of Oseong Electronics’ battery division.
They were still complaining, but they couldn’t show it outwardly.
Director Jeon Young-soo shouted.
“What are you doing? Shouldn’t you go and do your work?!!!”
“yes!”
Everyone left the conference room consciously.
Director Jeon Young-soo knew that this incident would ultimately only benefit Future Technology, but he had no choice. He had no choice but to follow Future Technology’s instructions.
He couldn’t understand how the hell the five-star electronics came to be like this.
‘Fuck.’
* * *
The production capacity of Oseong Electronics’ battery division was certainly remarkable.
Mass production of the KMB-01, or more precisely the KMB-01B, was successful.
The KMB-01B was a product with significantly improved stability compared to the existing initial model, the KMB-01A.
The news began to spread widely through the Korean media.
[Successful mass production of next-generation battery KMB-02B!]
Of course, it was a success for the Osung Electronics battery division.
But this time, it was made public as if it was done by future technology.
The supply is also done on the Motorola side.
Motorola was also shocked when they found out about this too late.
They signed a contract with Future Technology, but they actually received the goods from Oseong Electronics.
But then again, since the thing was said to be a future technology item, I couldn’t complain.
In fact, I was more satisfied with the stability of the model I received as an early prototype.
The capabilities of the Oseong Electronics production team were truly remarkable.
The ripple effect was much different than before.
This is because the KMB-01B model, which has been the subject of much talk and controversy, has been released into the world.
Stanley Robert also continued to appeal to the Morgan Stanley board of directors that Director Minhyuk Choi had said there would be no negotiations unless the baht was negotiated first.
He pointed out that it would be better to resolve the baht issue instead.
But Morgan Stanley’s board of directors completely ignored Stanley Robert’s proposal.
However, in this situation, Future Technology started supplying KMB-1B to Motorola.
It was truly absurd.
But on the other hand, it was also evidence of why Motorola had to buy a 15% stake in Future Technologies.
Paul Gosling sighed when he heard the news of the KMB-01B’s mass production.
Fortunately, Apple’s stock price did not fluctuate.
For him, who was buying Apple stocks, this was information that could cause a heart attack.
“That’s fortunate.”
But Kenneth Choi thought a little differently.
“It’s not something to take lightly when you look at the number of phones sold this year and the number of phones sold over the next five years.”
“I guess so?”
“This is not something that can just be passed over. There are already rumors that Japanese mobile phone companies have begun negotiations with KM Electronics.”
