“What are we?”

“I have called you all to discuss it.”

After giving a brief reply to Director Yang Yang-yong, the president looked straight at me.

It's like you're giving me the right to speak.

As long as I also confirmed that they had the same thoughts, there was no reason to hesitate in responding, so I immediately jumped into luck.

“If you are asking me how to do it, I can honestly say so many times. The question is whether the government is willing to implement it.”

“Let’s say it assuming you have a will.”

The president swore.

Holding his breath, he spoke again to the gazes that were pouring towards me.

“Then the first thing we can do is to block the export of materials that Japan also needs. For example, the special-purpose alloy materials that Jaewoo has developed so far or the carbon-based materials that have already far surpassed Toray and are taking root in the Japanese industry will be fatal.”

“Carbon-based materials are already at a world-class level in Japan, so will there be any damage to the ban on exporting them?”

The president expressed his curiosity.

“Of course, it is true that Japan is an advanced country in carbon-based materials. However, they have been applying the carbon-based materials we developed three years ago to various industries in order to produce better products. If we stop that, we're going to have quite a bit of trouble in the auto industry and elsewhere.”

“·················ogue.”

“It is not easy to ask the industry to return to the past and use low-quality products in the export market, which has fully benefited from the effects of carbon-based materials made by us. Anyway, for now, I've taken carbon-based materials as an example, but in reality, there are plenty of materials that Japan will have trouble with. Polycarbonate, which is more than twice as durable as before, or other petrochemical-based products could be one of them.”

"Hmm······."

The president nodded.

He was silently trying to lift the teacup, and suddenly, another plausible thought came to mind.

“It would be okay to provoke the Japanese industry and shake the cabinet right now.”

“·················ogue.”

People looked at me again.

“A claim for damages.”

“·················ogue.”

Director Yang Tae-yong tilted his head at those words.

On the contrary, the president and two businessmen whose eyes shine for a moment.

Second to the president, I think it is the entrepreneurs who are quick to calculate in this regard.

“Most of the companies on our side that are currently suffering from the Japanese government’s export suspension measures have already paid some of the price for the goods to Japanese companies.”

“It would be. A down payment is essential for a transaction.”

Director Yang Tae-yong responded as if it was natural.

“But we did not receive the goods on time, so of course we have to file a claim for breach of contract. Not only for breach of contract, but also for claims for damages that may arise in the future due to production delays.”

“·················ogue.”

“Perhaps that will put pressure on the Japanese government, as Japanese companies will also suffer quite a bit.”

“But in this case, it's a situation where we're chasing our illegal third party exports. If you come out with international law, it is enough to have a face covering.”

Yang refuted my argument.

Well, of course they come out that way.

However, that does not justify the actions of the Japanese government.

“Even so, the Japanese government has now disregarded the order and procedures. To put it simply, they banned exports and announced sanctions. What are the sins of other companies that have been affected by that? Jaewoon or Hyunwoo. And since Samjeong did not export illegally, why do we have to suffer?”

In fact, there was a high possibility of forming an international opinion that Japan's measures were excessive.

At the very least, if there are companies subject to sanctions in the United States, the order is to announce the sanctions first and take action.

Moreover, the incidents of bringing in sanctions against North Korea have not happened once or twice.

There is no possibility that the act of arguing against a country that is fulfilling its obligations to the international community like us, even against the whole country, will be recognized as justification.

"Hmm······."

Director Yang Yang-yong's expression gradually brightened.

You must have imagined what would happen in the future if our companies were to file a claim for damages.

Unsurprisingly, he speaks with a completely different expression from before.

“If that happens, Japanese companies will really burn shit. You may have to pay reparations that could be close to trillions of won.”

“Perhaps. But when it's over, it's difficult. If you have already started, you have to uproot it. Don't ever do something like this again."

“Are you uprooting?”

Director Yang and the two businessmen looked at me while saying the same thing at the same time.

To be honest, the words that will come out now are a burdensome proposition to spit out of my mouth.

As I glanced at the president, he continued speaking with an expression of understanding.

"That's what I'll tell you."

After a brief break, the president looked at Lee Young-hoon.

Bewildered by his sudden gaze, Lee Young-hoon made a puzzled expression on his face.

“This is the part that absolutely requires the consent of President Lee. So, think carefully and make a decision.”

Chairman Young-hoon Lee gulped and swallowed dry saliva as if he had guessed what he was going to say next.

To be honest, I'd be an idiot if I didn't notice what was being said in this situation.

Again, he spat out the words before the president could speak again.

“Are you telling me to stop exporting semiconductors to Japanese companies?”

"That's right. Especially focusing on the 45-nm process that is just being supplied to the electronics industry.”

billion! A voice came out of his mouth.

understand what

To be honest, I was going to make the same request out of resentment at first, but I was hesitant because I thought it would be unreasonable to think about the damage Samjeong would cause.

But now the state is stepping in.

If only the preservation problem for damage is solved, there will be no problem.

"Oh My God! Are you going to stop exporting semiconductors?”

Director Yang Tae-yong, who was listening, asked with round luck.

Where there is only one person, Chairman Jeong Tae-min was equally surprised.

For a while the Oval was silent, and after a while it was the President who spoke again.

“If that happens, Japan will probably suffer more than we do. We have a way to replace it, even if it costs a little more, but they don't have it at all.”

“That’s what the President said.”

I immediately agreed with the president.

People's eyes turned to me again, but I didn't care.

“Of course, it should be borne in mind that in that case, internationally, we too could be blamed. Japan is not the only one suffering. Especially in the case of the United States, there is a high possibility of exerting pressure, and we have to think about how to overcome it.”

“I know that.”

The president immediately agreed.

It looks like there is a workaround for that part.

Then, I thought again that there was no reason to hesitate.

“If you look at the reality, Japan is truly self-reliant. We overlooked the fact that no place has succeeded in mass production of 45nm process technology except for Samjeong. In that situation, if we stop exporting, Japan will have to make and sell things with outdated 180-nm-based or 90-nm-based semiconductors.”

“·················ogue.”

“The problem is that it won't be easy. The Japanese semiconductor industry is slowly going downhill, so it is questionable whether even 90 nanometers will be able to supply smoothly. If that happens, will Japanese products be competitive?”

“For Japan, if the supply and demand of 45 nanometers is cut off, it will have to suffer a huge blow, but we also suffer a great loss.”

“I admit it. Three or three would suffer a loss of trillions of won in sales. However, considering the support that Samjong has received from the people, it will not hurt much.”

Lee Young-hoon would have fully understood what the words behind them meant.

Awareness of him who once hit the bottom due to the illegal succession process.

An opportunity to turn it around.

Even so, it would be unreasonable to fully bear the damage, so it would be normal to preserve the compensation for it.

I immediately turned to the president.

“If Samjeong does that, the government will compensate for it, right?”

“It is natural. I can't give you a definite answer on what the standard for compensation will be right now, but the government will do its best to preserve Samjeong's damage."

Chairman Lee Young-hoon swallowed dry saliva again at the president's answer.

To put a wedge, I added one more word.

“This is a digression, the seeker of thousands of missiles, including KFX, soon. And the demand for various semiconductors required for Aegis ships and Yi Sun-sin-class radars will increase rapidly. When I did some rough calculations, that amount alone was worth several trillion won. Wouldn't it be a little comforting if we all push it to Samjeong in the future?"

“·················ogue.”

Chairman Young-hoon Lee, nevertheless, was unable to respond in a cool way.

To be honest, it would be only compensation for the loss of Samjeong for the year.

But that's an idea I have because I don't know the flow of the matter.

“Please note that that is the key to ending this situation as quickly as possible. Even if we don't get semiconductor supplies for just six months, the entire Japanese industry would fall into a panic, because the Japanese government wouldn't have the strength to sustain it."

“·················ogue.”

*******

[Our companies have filed a collective damage claim against Japanese companies and the government in the court this morning. In addition, the government formally filed a complaint with Japan to the World Trade Organization [...]

A few days later, at my insistence, our companies launched a class action lawsuit.

However, Japan's reaction is still cold.

Their attitude, as if they had to do it, was as if they were reliving the world before their return.

[This morning, the government completely banned the export of materials produced by the Jaewoo Group to Japan.]

[The government once caught the evidence that some Japanese organizations contributed to North Korea's aid and launched an investigation. If this turns out to be true, it will inevitably be condemned by the international community [...]

However, the responses that followed were slightly different.

The news of a total ban on material exports, which would be a fatal blow to the industry, began to stir the Japanese industry, and when the South Korean government even talked about Japan's support for North Korea, the cabinet, which had been silent for so long, began to react violently.

[We have never provided aid to North Korea...]

‘Even nonsense is the level of art.’

The attitude of the Japanese government to sticking out flippers was pitiful.

But how long can that go?

Perhaps soon the government will present to the international community the concrete evidence provided by the Mossad.

“Anyway, the ban on semiconductor exports seems to be left as a last resort.”

“Perhaps it will. It’s a part that has a huge impact on both sides, so it’s hard to bring it up easily unless it’s a very difficult situation to have a conversation with.”

CEO Kim Young-gi, who was watching the news with me, responded to my self-talk.

He had piles of papers piled up like a mountain in front of him.

I don't know why they do that in my own office, leaving their own office.

“Did someone steal your room?”

“Is it possible?”

“Why do you always work in my room?”

“Ah that. It’s not always one or two things I want to show you, but it’s annoying to come up every time.”

I looked at him with squinted eyes.

He let out a shy smile and continued speaking with an ah-ah expression on his face as if he had remembered something.

“Yeah, I got a call from Dr. Kim Hee-won of the institute yesterday. Because there is no direct connection with the president. They told me that the materials you sent were well received.”

That's probably because I turned my phone off all day yesterday.

The secretary's office also instructed me not to connect with anything that was overdue, as I would only focus on the work that was overdue.

The moment he was about to nod his head indifferently, he asked implicitly.

“If you don’t mind, may I ask what material you sent?”

“Oh, that’s the data on controller and servomotor development.”

“A controller?”

The controller refers to the control device of a machine tool.

The field in which Japan's FANUC has an absolute share in the global market.

Since it is possible to develop a proper machine tool only when it is developed, I immediately handed over the iTROL technology developed by Hyeonu to the research center before returning from the data chip, and the servo motor was also ordered to be developed.

“Why do you want them to enter the field of industrial machinery and robots?”

“This time, the three major groups gathered opinions at the Blue House. Through joint investment over the next 10 years, we will support small and medium-sized enterprises in Korea in all fields under Japanese influence.”

“But this isn’t support, it’s trying to develop yourself, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, I don’t know anything else, but in the case of controllers, there is a limit to development only with the power of small and medium-sized companies. That is why we plan to develop that part ourselves.”

I replied with a look that didn't look special.

His expression was still blank.

I put down the fan I was holding and looked straight at him.

“In a way, this is an opportunity to fundamentally change the nature of our industry. So when the opportunity comes, I have to do it.”

“But is it possible? Japan is decades ahead in that field.”

Of course it won't be easy.

However, if there is one thing he overlooks, it is that I already have something that can catch up with Japan as far as controllers are concerned.

If it becomes a reality, there is a high possibility that it will surpass the level of Fanuc within two years.

[The people's anti-Japanese sentiment is boiling. A boycott of Japanese products is starting from all walks of life [...]

The news was still playing on the TV that was turned on.

As before the return, things about boycotts taking place everywhere.

I feel it a few times, but I think our people are really amazing.

As in this small country, even if they fight by division, if there is another clash with the outside, they will unite.

Is it like that mentality that no matter how much you hate your family, you won't be able to see others get hurt?

“Let’s go, it will be late.”

After I finished signing the paperwork with a smile, I got up straight away.

It will take a long time to get to the destination, Jinhae.

I'm glad there's a chopper though... Damn it, luckily it's a hornet of good luck. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm already worried that I'll get it out again.

“I am already ready.”

CEO Kim immediately took off his suit and stood up.

On the way to the roof in the elevator, he says with excitement.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Aren’t you excited about the president? It is the day when the Sejong the Great and KFX prove their performance in front of all the people.”

"I do not know."

That's what I said, but I'm also trembling.

Apart from other things, after today, KFX will start full-scale mass production.

What was surprising was that the government demanded that today even public firepower tests of supersonic anti-ship missiles and Aegis ships, which were not originally planned, be conducted today, but that was a strong message to Japan.

In a word, that's it.

Open your eyes and look

And don't even dream of provocation by any chance... things like this.

In fact, all of today's events will be shown on TV, so that'll be a big warning for Japan.

‘No, it’s not just a warning level, it might make you numb.’

Burr!

As I was about to get on the helicopter, I heard the sound of a mobile phone vibrating somewhere.

It's definitely not mine.

I glanced at CEO Kim and saw him tilting his head and pressing the call button.

"What?"

CEO Kim looked at me with a surprised face.

He hung up the phone with a short reply and asked me like a deukdal.

“Have you ever talked to Putin on the phone recently?”

"no. But why is the story of the boss brown bear all of a sudden here?”

“Russian strategic bombers just invaded Japanese territorial waters. So there is a riot in Japan right now?”

“·················ogue.”

******

[A little while ago, a Russian strategic bomber invaded Japanese territorial waters. Japan made a strong protest, but Russia is consistent with no response.]

On the way to Jinhae, the news I heard broke my mouth.

This is exquisite timing.

for me No, for us, it's as if we're forcing ourselves to put up with the guy we want to beat, and the neighborhood hyung is replacing it. Thanks to that, I feel a bit relieved in my stomach.

“No other country is more sensitive to airspace invasion than Japan.”

CEO Kim Young-gi said as if he was feeling refreshed.

Perhaps he was thinking the same as me.

He smiled and said to him.

“After World War II, Japan has been exceptionally sensitive to things passing through the sky of my country. Russian strategic bombers in particular are a nightmare for them than we think.”

“So I asked the president. The timing was so exquisite, I wondered if the president had asked for it.”

“Is it possible?”

I never even thought of making such a request in the first place.

Even if I did, it wouldn't be an easy request to grant.

To put it simply, this is a problem that causes tension with a country, and it doesn't make sense to do this simply because of my friendship.

“Then, after all, Russia has a purpose, so what is the reason?”

CEO Kim could not shake off his doubts in the end.

I am also like that

In the midst of substituting countless numbers of cases, the Kuril Islands, which have recently been in conflict with Japan, suddenly came to mind.

“Putin, have you ever seen such a foxy bear?”
