Chapter 28

I went to the president’s office early the next morning.

The purpose is to inform the military about next year’s project implementation, which was given by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Oh Jung-geun the day before.

No matter how much the business is won, it is impossible to ignore the procedure of the president who decides on the implementation of the business.

“I’m here… Huh? How is the representative here?”

The president’s room, where he had just entered, was where Yoon Sang-min, CEO of Thales, was a passenger.

Chairman Jin’s core henchman and being the brain of the entire group.

In fact, this is only the second time I have seen him since I joined the company, because he had to take a long leave of absence due to a sudden deterioration in health.

“Five! I don’t know how much this is. Did you rise to the position of chief policy officer without me?”

“How did it happen? But are you all right now?”

Rumors about CEO Yoon had been heard for quite some time.

He is a gentle yet charismatic being that no one has ever become an enemy.

Well, that’s probably why he was able to keep his job even while he was on leave of absence for a long period of time.

Anyway, it was a sudden situation for me, so I quickly went through Hyunseung’s memories.

“I can’t say it’s completely cured yet, but it’s gotten a lot better. After all, you are the representative. What’s with that stiff tone all of a sudden?”

“But you can’t call me uncle at work.”

According to his memories, Hyun Seung-yi used to call CEO Yoon Sang-min his uncle.

Because he was the only person who treated him without prejudice in the cold gaze.

Maybe that’s why, even though he had an accident every time, CEO Yoon Sang-min used to keep a close eye on him.

“However, it would be a shame if you set an angle on a name like that at once. By the way, what are you doing at the headquarters in the morning?”

“I have something to report to the president.”

“okay? Then I’ll get away with it.”

CEO Sangmin Yoon immediately stood up at the words.

I immediately dissuaded him by waving my hand, and after a while I confided to the two of their conversations with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff yesterday.

“HVP?”

“Yes, it is a system that intercepts rockets and shells coming from close range with high-speed projectiles such as smart shells. While negotiating with the US Navy the other day, it was something I proposed to them, and they say that our military also wants to build it in the army. On behalf of the short-range air defense network construction project scheduled for next year.”

“Hmm, it’s also surprising that smart cannons can be used that way. But does the military really want it until they give up on the business they were supposed to start next year?”

“It is a bit surprising for me to suddenly change the direction of my business, but I think I made that choice because the purpose of the business is the same, only the means are different anyway. In a nutshell, you don’t want to use a brick phone in the yard where you have the latest cell phone.

“That’s what human greed is. But was it really possible to intercept the North Korean multiple rocket launcher with only shells?”

“If the speed of the interceptor overwhelms the speed of the target, anything is possible. Of course, we need a detection radar to accurately track the target and a precision guidance system to guide the projectile to the target.”

Another explanation followed.

Perhaps because it was a concept that we could not have dared to imagine in this era, Chairman Jin as well as CEO Yoon looked at me with their eyes closed.

“Are you confident of success?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmmmm, then, let’s try it sometime.”

Chairman Jin readily agreed.

This is the flow I expected.

Since then, it’s actually been a problem.

“Thank you. However, if you wait until the military budget is established, the development period will probably be quite long. So how about executing it in advance with our budget?”

“Shall we start self-development first?”

Chairman Jin looked worried for a moment.

not a crowd

It is a situation that has not yet gone through the re-examination and approval of the parliament, so we are the only ones who will lose money on the day that the business goes haphazardly.

But if things really go wrong, there’s nothing to lose.

Apparently, one of the core of the short-range defense system using HVP is the AESA radar (active electronically scanning phased array radar), but once it is developed, its applications are endless.

Furthermore, what I want to develop is a dual-band AESA using a gallium nitride-based semiconductor device.

There are many places where people can be greedy because they are incomparable to those of the present age in terms of precision tracking ability as well as improvement of detection distance by high power.

“I think Hyunseung’s thoughts are also reasonable, Chairman. If we wait until the military budget is secured, the development period will be lengthened, and there is a strong possibility that the project itself will become a long-term project. And even if the business goes down, we will be one of the few companies that succeeds in the development of ‘phased array radar’, so there is nothing to lose, right?”

CEO Yoon, who had been listening to the story the whole time, took my side at first.

It also came up with a claim that was exactly in line with my thoughts.

It was a moment to experience firsthand that he was not an ordinary person.

“Then do it. Anyway, Thales’ R&D cost has risen to a point where it can’t be compared to before, so it’s not unreasonable.”

In the end, Chairman Jin happily nodded his head.

This is the moment when the curtain rises for another large project with a total project cost of 2 trillion won.

Even if it is a project that will be implemented in a year or so, excitement is inevitable.

“By the way, haven’t you changed too much?”

“Yeah?”

In the car where I had been imagining for a while, I heard CEO Yoon’s words.

As if he was unfamiliar with my appearance, which was different from before, he had a surprised expression on his face.

“I’ve been hearing news from the hospital, but this is more than a rumor.”

“I can’t live like a thorn in my family forever, can’t I?”

“Heh heh, it’s completely different from even talking about it. Anyway, nice to see. By the way, did you know that there is a major executive meeting for the whole group tomorrow?”

“Yes, of course.”

“I’m saying this in advance in case you can’t attend because you are too busy, but please make sure to attend tomorrow. Choose and wear the best clothes possible.”

A somewhat meaningful smile was drawn on his face.

sudden discharge.

And an interview with Chairman Jin.

At first glance, I thought that I might be announcing a comeback at a group meeting, so I congratulated him in advance.

“Congratulations on your return.”

“Thank you. But you’re the one who deserves congratulations, not me Then I have two other appointments, so I will get up first.”

“·················ogue.”

CEO Yoon stood up from his seat, leaving meaningful remarks.

Soon after, he bowed his head toward Chairman Jin, smiled at me again, and left the room.

What?

I should be congratulated.

******

Wednesday.

I visited the headquarters for a group-wide executive meeting held once a week.

When I arrived, the presidents and executives from each affiliate had already gathered and chatted, and thanks to this, countless eyes were focused on me.

“Come.”

The person who welcomed me particularly warmly was CEO Yoon Sang-min.

For some reason, I felt a different atmosphere, so I glanced at him, but he was only showing a smile that was not different from usual.

“Come on, let’s go inside before the president arrives.”

At his words, the executives rushed to the conference room.

The seat assigned to me today is probably right next to CEO Yoon Sang-min.

Jin Hyeon-cheol, who had been looking for him, was in a state where he could not see him for some reason.

“Isn’t your brother attending today?”

“Executive Vice President Jin Hyun-cheol has been transferred to Aerospace’s CEO.”

“Already?”

“What already? It’s been a week since we went down, and he’ll probably be on a plane to Ukraine by today.”

“If it’s Ukraine, are you talking about the acquisition of Motorsich?”

“Yeah, I was blown away when I heard the news that your representative had abandoned negotiations with Russia.”

I didn’t know he was already working so far.

Seriously, even as a second-generation chaebol, it’s not that easy to maintain his managing position.

It is said that he has the driving force for his work, but the question is whether his attempt will be successful.

“Hmm······.”

In the first place, it is difficult to acquire a company with core technology such as Motorsitch.

Other than that, the United States, Russia and China cannot stand alone.

Nevertheless, the reason he finally tries is that he also has at least one hand, and I’m curious as to what it is.

“I hope it goes well.”

That was said with self-discipline.

Whatever the reason, Jin Hyeon-cheol is ultimately trying to pursue the interests of the company, so we can’t pray for it to fail.

Moreover, if the acquisition is really possible, we will secure aircraft engine technology at once. In order to advance my plans in the future, it is in my interest that his challenge succeeds.

“I hope so.”

CEO Yoon Sang-min still sympathized with people with a nice smile.

He responded with an awkward smile, and the moment he was about to turn his head again, his head suddenly started to hurt, and the things that had happened between Jin Hyun-chul and Hyun-seung in the past flashed past like a lantern.

– You have the courage to think of contacting the house.

It seemed that it was around the time when Hyunseungi graduated from college.

A case in which Hyunseungi was detained at the police station due to an accidental quarrel in a bar.

Jin Hyeon-cheol, who came to the police station on behalf of Chairman Jin at the time, said such things with a cold smile.

-Yeah, I’d rather just keep living as I am now.

Hyunseung seemed to be quite shocked by those words.

From that moment on, you can see how much effort you put into your mind.

However, it was strange that the surrounding conditions did not follow it, and what I later found out was that all of the surrounding conditions were all the work of Jin Hyeon-cheol.

“Hmm······.”

“The president is coming.”

My thoughts were broken by the secretary’s words, who suddenly entered the conference room.

Chairman Jin, who was seated in his seat as he straightened up his clothes and stood up, said while looking around the crowd.

“Before addressing today’s agenda, I would like to congratulate you on the return of CEO Sang-Min Yoon.”

The executives clapped their hands as if they had promised.

As it was a well-expected event, the moment I was about to give congratulations with a snowy eye, Chairman Jin grabbed the microphone again and continued.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)



“And we should discuss the position of managing director of Thales, which became vacant due to the transfer of managing director Hyun-cheol Jin, and if you have any opinions, please let us know.”

“·················ogue.”

No one spoke first.

I was not in a position to intervene anyway, so it was natural for me to keep my mouth shut.

But then, CEO Yoon Sang-min, who glanced at me, gently pulled his microphone.

“The position of managing director of Thales is impossible for anyone without a professional understanding of the ongoing business. Moreover, the relationship between the military and the competent ministries is also important. In the current situation, it seems that there is only one person who is suitable for that?”

CEO Yoon’s last words continued looking at me.

As if they had made a promise, people’s eyes turned to me all at once, and a smile crept across the lips of CEO Yoon, who was beside him.

glance.

I looked at CEO Yoon with a firm expression.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get rid of the thought that his breath had worked.

As if his expectations were not wrong, his eyes met and he whispered to me.

“Did I not tell you? You are the one who should be celebrated.”

“Are you going to make a lot of people your enemies?”

It was natural for me to be curious.

Even if he was a guardian of Hyeonseung, why would he do it so much?

Moreover, breaking his iron rule of not making enemies for the rest of his life.

Beyond embarrassment, it feels like something I don’t know is happening.

“Yeah, thanks to you, I turned a lot of people into enemies this time around. But what can I do, if the president wants it.”

At those words, I glanced at Chairman Jin.

His expression still hadn’t changed, and he had his eyes closed.

“Even so, if the CEO had been opposed to the end, would your father have given up in the end?”

“Of course I should, but I just couldn’t.”

“You couldn’t, what do you mean?”

“Well, that’s something you’ll find out later. By the way, the president said that he would give away a portion of the stake in addition to your promotion to managing director. From what I’ve heard it’s about 4 percent, so your stake totals 12 percent?”

“That’s right.”

“If you do, you are in a situation where you will be ahead of your brother.”

“……”

“I’m not going to make a face like that. I’m just saying this in case you don’t know what it means.”

“……”
