He had considered their work experience, achievements, and educational background in reputable companies.
He had looked at them from the perspective of a Hansung interviewer.
But that didn’t fit with Double Y.
“What are you delusional about?”
“We didn’t need someone with a decent career.”
“Then what?”
“We needed someone who was passionate and excited about what we made, someone who thought they could change the world with this, someone who was crazy.”
When Yoo-hyun clearly conveyed what he had realized, Nadoha’s eyes sparkled.
“Hyung, I think you’re right. I want to work with people like that too.”
“You’re the same kind because you’re one of them.”“I’m not crazy.”
“I didn’t mean it like that.”
The mood was somber for a moment, but Park Young-hoon asked a realistic question.
“Okay. Let’s say you’re right. How and where are we going to find those people?”
“Just recruit people who like With.”
“What do you mean by that?”
That was the most important question, and Yoo-hyun gave the answer he had thought of.
“Just make it public, With.”
“What? You were the one who said it would be a big problem if we made it public for no reason.”
“That’s because the securities platform had to be connected to financial information, but this is just a messenger. We can do it as a beta version.”
There was no problem since the purpose was not to make money, but to promote it.
Trademark or patent issues could be handled by hiring a patent attorney.
Park Young-hoon objected as if he didn’t understand.
“It’s still rough. There are many things to fix. It hasn’t been verified either. And you want to make it public like this?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s crude. There will definitely be people who recognize its value. There will also be people who want to improve it if they see any problems.”
“And then?”
“What do you mean by then? Those people will come by themselves, so we just have to choose from them.”
As soon as he heard Yoo-hyun’s answer, Park Young-hoon’s eyes narrowed.
“You want to accept everyone without knowing their background?”
“Of course. What does it matter as long as they have skills? Education or career doesn’t do the work for them.”
“We still need some minimum guidelines.”
“You can do that yourself. But just remember one thing. If the hurdle was high, there would be no Doha now.”
Nadoha had no education, no career, and was even young.
If this was Hansung, he wouldn’t have been able to get to the interview stage with his specs.
Nevertheless, he proved himself to be better than anyone else.
Park Young-hoon, who knew this fact, put his hand on his forehead and muttered.
“So you’re saying there will be more people like Doha.”
“What are you talking about?”
“No, I’m just saying you’re saying a lot of nice things for someone who’s not running it.”
When Park Young-hoon spat out a sharp remark, Nadoha nodded innocently.
“I think Yoo-hyun hyung is saying nice things too.”
“Yeah. Nice words. It would be really unique and fun if there were a lot of friends like you.”
“Yes, hyung. I think it would be so exciting too.”
“Yeah…sigh.”
He sighed as he looked at Nadoha, who was shining his eyes innocently.
Double Y was gearing up to make the messenger With public.
Hansung Group was changing into a holding company structure in a big picture.
The one who led the way was Shin Kyung-soo.
Yoo-hyun, who was sitting in his office, skimmed the news that reported Shin Kyung-soo’s moves.
As expected, he tried to clean up the loss-making subsidiaries within the group first.
The reason was simple.
By selling the loss-making subsidiaries and turning the capital into profitable ones, the Planning and Coordination Office, which was in charge of the subsidiaries, could easily increase the market capitalization of the subsidiaries.
The increase in market capitalization of the subsidiaries was the report card of the group’s operation.
It was necessary to take care of it in advance, as the performance would be evaluated at the regular shareholders’ meeting a year later.
The one with the highest performance would become the official successor.
What was Shin Kyung-soo’s next move?
It was easy to tell from his personality, which only pursued efficiency.
‘He’ll turn all the production of the subsidiaries into OEM (outsourcing production method).’
It was something that had already happened in the past that Yoo-hyun had experienced.
Shin Kyung-soo drastically reduced labor and operating costs by using cheap Chinese factory OEMs.
He also easily increased his capital by selling the factories.
Many media praised him, but there was a serious problem with this.
It was too vulnerable to external environmental changes.
In fact, during the East Asian trade conflict, Chinese companies stopped production, and Hansung, which had outsourced, faced a big crisis.
The damage was borne by the employees.
Hansung survived with the huge sacrifice of the employees, but there was nothing for them.
Shin Kyung-soo, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to take care of his own interests.
The core members who did the work at the time were Lee Joon-il, Gerard Kim, and Choi Jae-ki.
Of course, Yoo-hyun was also included.
“I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have done.”
Yoo-hyun was reminiscing about the past for a moment.
Kwon Se-jung, who had been away for a while, suddenly appeared.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Huh? What are you doing here? You should be at the Sindorim Campus.”
“I came because I thought of you.”
“Stop teasing me and sit down.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and gestured, and Kwon Se-jung looked around.
He checked the empty office and sat down.
“You’re lucky. You’re spending your free time in a spacious office by yourself.”
“What are you talking about? I was busy in my own way.”
“What are you busy with here by yourself? Everyone else is at the Sindorim Campus.”
Kwon Se-jung looked incredulous, but Yoo-hyun had his own reasons.
“The infrastructure strategy team is here.”
“Ah, you said you had to help them?”
“I’m not helping them, I’m just aligning the direction with them.”
As the Shinwha Semiconductor takeover battle entered a full-fledged stage, there was a need to reorganize the strategy.
Expecting the opponent’s full-scale attack, Yoo-hyun had a deep conversation with his colleagues about what would happen in the future.
Kwon Se-jung, who already knew his background, nodded.
“We also got help from them, so it’s right to give it back. I’m a little worried about sending you alone, though.”
“You’re talking nonsense. How’s the atmosphere at the Sindorim Campus?”
“It’s like this over there…”
Kwon Se-jung briefly explained the situation at the Sindorim Campus.
The Sindorim Campus was busy ever since the integrated organization, Unique TF, was created.
First, the development direction was completely revised with the consensus of all departments.
The mobile phone division stopped the progress of the existing products, but extracted as much as possible that could be reused and reduced the schedule.
In this process, they joined forces to improve the existing problems.
There were some frictional parts, but overall, it was a mood of settling down.
In addition, key personnel from subsidiaries such as Hansung Display, Hansung Technic, Hansung Chemical, Hansung Precision, and Hansung SI joined.
Kwon Se-jung mentioned that part.
“By the way, Lee Jin-mok senior asked me why you didn’t come.”
“Did he come from Ulsan?”
“Yeah. He came as the representative of OLED panel development. LCD panel development also joined.”
“You’ve gathered both sides well. I should go and see.”
Besides the development staff, there were people from planning and sales who had connections with Yoo-hyun.
He wanted to talk to them after a long time, not to mention.
Of course, he wasn’t going to just see their faces and end it.
When Shin Kyung-soo’s OEM strategy started, Hansung Display would be under strong pressure.
He had to do something to prepare for that.
Kwon Se-jung called Yoo-hyun, who was organizing his thoughts.
“Oh, Yoo-hyun, you know what you said before.”
“What?”
“You said to tell only some of the sales team members the bid price for JK Communication’s modem. It’s been a while, so it’s time for the results.”
“Did the results come out?”
Yoo-hyun wondered, and Kwon Se-jung asked back as if it was obvious.
“Weren’t you trying to check who leaked the information?”
“How did you know that?”
“There’s no way Yoo-hyun would make a pointless request for no reason.”
Kwon Se-jung showed his insight, and Yoo-hyun was absurd.
“Why didn’t you ask me if you knew?”
“What’s the point of asking before the results come out? Then it’s no fun.”
Kwon Se-jung shrugged his shoulders with confidence.
You could tell how much his strategic thinking had matured just by looking at him.
He was going to tell him anyway, so Yoo-hyun handed him his phone without hesitation.
Swipe.
“Look at this.”
There was a message from Hyun Jin-geon Construction that came a while ago.
-Ilsung contacted us and said they wanted to buy our modem. They seemed to know the price that Hansung offered, just like you said. I’ll send you the contact number of Ilsung’s person in charge right away.
Kwon Se-jung was dumbfounded after checking the content.
“The information went to Ilsung?”
“They probably didn’t pass it on directly. They must have colluded with the Planning and Coordination Office.”
“Wow. Really, how can they leak information to a competitor?”
Kwon Se-jung was outraged, but Yoo-hyun had expected it.
The opponent’s strategist was Choi Jae-ki, who was famous for being meticulous and stingy.
Kwon Se-jung also had to know his style.
That way, he could go beyond seeing far and destroy the opponent’s strategy.
Yoo-hyun asked him with the intention of making him grow more.
“What should we do?”
“We have to pay them back, of course. We can’t just let them get away with it.”
Kwon Se-jung thought of a counterattack even in this situation, and Yoo-hyun went one step further.
“Do you have any ideas?”
“How about leaking information back?”
“How?”
“By giving them false information. Something that Ilsung would be interested in. Then we can limit Ilsung’s movements too.”
He was a clever guy with a good head.
Yoo-hyun smiled and answered.
“Will that work?”
“Well. Ilsung won’t change their strategy just because of us, but we can’t stop the Planning and Coordination Office’s additional attack with that.”
“Are you saying they’ll do something else?”
“Don’t you think so? They’re the ones who sold information to Ilsung before it even started.”
Yoo-hyun assured him.
Choi Jae-ki wouldn’t stop at that.
Considering his style of using all kinds of fouls to attack from under the ring, more vicious attacks would be added in the future.
Kwon Se-jung also guessed the same situation and looked worried.
“Then what do we do? JK Communication is fine because you’re there, but if they poke at other weaknesses, we’re really screwed.”
“We have to make sure they can’t poke at the weaknesses.”
“How? Do we report them for colluding with Ilsung? It would be a big deal if the chairman found out.”
“That’s a good idea, but that won’t work.”
“Just that.”
Kwon Se-jung tried to find the answer himself rather than asking.
This attitude was his secret to seeing further.
Yoo-hyun gave him a hint to make him leap one step further.
“We have to make a trap that they can’t get out of, not just tell them.”
“A trap? You mean we have to catch evidence that they can’t deny?”
“Similar. But just catching evidence is not enough.”
“Then what?”
Choi Jae-ki was a high-level opponent that Shin Kyung-soo trusted.
It would be hard to catch him with shallow tricks, but it was before he got on the ring.
Yoo-hyun was going to smash him before he was fully prepared.
He was about to tell him the plan when it happened.
Zing. Zing.
An important call came in, so Yoo-hyun had no choice but to pause.
“Se-jung, wait a minute.”
On the phone screen, Park Won-seok’s name popped up.
