Chapter 405
The IT group staff in charge of the ultra-high-resolution tablet panel business were also flustered.
It was because the head of the ultra-high-resolution TF, who had the full support of the business director, mentioned Yoo-hyun personally.
As the buzzing atmosphere continued, Yoo-hyun cut in.
“Mr. Kang, then I’ll proceed with applying SLC to all products.”
-That’s fine. If the planning team pushes it like that, we’ll be happy too. We also pushed TV at once and succeeded. Right, Mr. Lee?
Suddenly, the SLC panel research team leader asked, and Lee Bon-seok team leader stiffened his expression and answered.
“Haha. Yes, that’s right.”
-You were very driven back then, Mr. Lee.
“I’m still working hard.”
-Well, the proposals you made are radical. You must be having a hard time, Mr. Lee. Hehe.
“Yes. That’s right. Haha.”
Lee Bon-seok team leader smiled awkwardly, and the SLC panel research team leader left at the right timing.
-There are many people waiting, but I talked too much. Mr. Han, please proceed.
“Yes. Thank you for your kind words.”
Yoo-hyun bowed his head and moved on to the next agenda.
Jang Jun-sik pressed the laptop button as Yoo-hyun signaled, and the corresponding data appeared on the screen.
“Next, I’d like to hear from TV Circuit 4 Team about narrow bezel technology.”
As Yoo-hyun finished speaking, channel 3 was activated.
TV Circuit 4 Team was originally attended by a practitioner, but it was hastily replaced by a team leader.
It was because the practitioner made a wrong remark about 4K and was scolded by other development team leaders.
Thinking that he couldn’t be pushed back anymore, TV Circuit 4 Team leader put some strength in his voice.
-It’s impossible to do 4K with narrow bezel in our current schedule. We have to modify too many things from IC. The logo idea you suggested is good, but please consider that it doesn’t make sense for large TV development situation.
However, he kept at least some courtesy in front of other team leaders.
Lee Bon-seok team leader raised his voice as if he had been waiting for that.
“That’s right. It’s unreasonable to lump panels with different characteristics into one category. It’s better to stick with what we have and do our best according to our abilities.”
In other words, he said that the role of innovation product TF was unnecessary.
From the development team’s point of view, it was a welcome story since there was no additional work.
Lee Bon-seok team leader planned to persuade them one by one by picking on this part.
But why is that guy smiling?
It was the moment when Lee Bon-seok team leader’s instinct told him that something was wrong.
Channel 1 connected to ultra-high-resolution TF was activated and Kim Ho-geol’s voice came out.
-Mr. Ahn, didn’t TV Preceding Panel Team complete an in-cell gate for ultra-high-resolution? We applied that idea and verified it too.
Channel 4 was activated and TV Preceding Panel Team leader chimed in.
-It did. You saw it together when we made a prototype at Gimpo factory last time. The panel side is fine.
The atmosphere turned strangely.
Somehow, everyone except TV Circuit 4 Team leader seemed to be attacking him.
-Mr. Ahn, that’s true, but even if we have a panel, we have to make new IC and COF to follow the signal connected to it. That’s a different story.
TV Circuit 4 Team leader countered, and this time Jung In-wook team leader of ultra-high-resolution TF grabbed the microphone.
-Mr. Hwang, don’t we just need to follow the gate signal so we don’t need to make a separate driver IC?
From some point on, the development teams started arguing with each other with innovation product TF as the mediator.
TV Circuit 4 Team leader didn’t back down either.
-Mr. Jung, we have to change the film attached to the driver IC, do you think that signal just comes out?
-We can make COF within schedule. And if you need gate signal output, we’ll provide you with IC we developed.
-It’s not like we can’t do that. Of course we can, but we’re too busy with schedule.
Eventually, TV Circuit 4 Team leader who had been holding on well got angry with his pride hurt.
As Lee Bon-seok team leader’s expression distorted, Yoo-hyun didn’t miss that opportunity and intervened.
“Mr. Hwang, then TV side can also respond? And you need additional support to do that.”
-Yeah. We can do anything if we do it, there’s nothing we can’t do in the world.
“Yes. I understand. Then I’ll mark narrow bezel technology as conditionally possible. I’ll let you know as soon as I review the additional support part.”
Yoo-hyun gave an answer right away.
TV Circuit 4 Team leader who was speechless passed the responsibility to Lee Bon-seok team leader.
-Mr. Lee, this is going too differently from what we wrote in the beginning? You went to TF, but aren’t you being too aggressive?
“What? No, that’s not it.”
He had already agreed on this part, but it was with a practitioner, not a team leader.
He couldn’t say that fact in this place.
-You should have told me this sooner. If you’re going to do it, do it.
“Isn’t it too hard on schedule? I’m trying to go in the direction of not doing it.”
Lee Bon-seok team leader calmed down TV Circuit 4 Team leader who was nagging at him.
He wondered how he ended up leading the TF project.
-What will you do if the group leader offers additional support?
“There’s no way that will happen. The home appliance division rejected this item too.”
-Why do you keep changing your story? What will you do then? Did you confirm it?
The TV circuit 4 team leader, who was cornered, snapped.
“No, it’s just…”
As he hesitated, channel 1 turned on and Kim Ho-geol, the deputy director, summarized the situation.
-Let’s only talk about development-related matters here. You can get approval from the group leader directly for that kind of thing.
In front of the other team leaders, Lee Bon-seok, the team leader, had no answer.
He was trapped by all the unexpected situations.
“Yes. Let’s do that.”
He finally bowed his head.
The other meeting contents were not much different from this one.
The ultra-high-resolution TF team took the initiative and proposed technical alternatives to the IT and TV teams.
The engineers with pride would not say that our team lacked technical skills.
They all agreed conditionally, and thanks to that, the meeting with the development team went very positively.
“That’s ridiculous.”
A man sitting in the corner of the meeting room uttered a hollow voice.
He was from the IT product planning team and had seen many team leaders who cut off the requests of the sales and marketing staff.
The development side had always opposed the plans pushed by the planning side, calling them pie in the sky.
It was never easy to move them unless the group leader stepped in.
But now, they all said it was possible.
How could it make sense that those who said it was hard to change 0.1 millimeter thickness could change big items that would take a year-long project?
He was not the only one who could not understand this situation.
“…”
As everyone lost their words, Yoo-hyun quickly wrapped up the meeting with the development team.
“Thank you for attending despite your busy schedule. I will let you know the results as soon as they are organized, and I will proceed with the support part that came up during the meeting after consultation.”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap.
For a moment, applause rang out in the meeting room and from the TV speaker.
As soon as the video conference was cut off, there was silence in the meeting room.
Jang Jun-hong, the IT team leader, had been distancing himself from the atmosphere since earlier.
He had a quick eye for things.
Yoo-hyun’s attention was on Lee Bon-seok, the TV team leader sitting next to him.
His face was flushed red, and he seemed to be barely holding back his boiling anger.
He must have been frustrated to vent in front of the development team leaders.
One way or another.
Thanks to Lee Bon-seok, he was able to settle things with the development department at once.
Yoo-hyun expressed his gratitude with a smile as their eyes met briefly.
Squeak.
At that moment, Lee Bon-seok’s reason snapped as his anger erupted.
“How dare you make me eat shit by mobilizing the development team leaders?”
Grind.
The sound of his teeth grinding could be heard from afar.
His expression was fierce enough to match that.
In a quiet atmosphere like a dead mouse, Yoo-hyun answered calmly.
“It was you who suggested to invite the development team. I just followed your proposal.”
“You should have called the workers, not the team leaders.”
It was exactly what they said when someone was cornered.
Despite his absurd sophistry, Yoo-hyun faced him with ease.
“How would I know who would come?”
“This…”
Lee Bon-seok’s face turned red and blue at his blatant lie.
As he was about to explode, Kim Hyun-min, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“Lee team leader, stop it and wrap it up.”
“…”
“Weren’t you the one who called this meeting?”
Lee Bon-seok sighed deeply as he confirmed that everyone’s eyes were on him.
“Ha. You seem to be doing well on your own, so just do whatever you want.”
If it had been before, Kim Hyun-min would have backed down at this point.
If the TV team went on strike, this organization might fall apart.
But he had something in mind after seeing Yoo-hyun’s meeting today.
He said it without hesitation.
“Then let’s proceed with the integration plan for now. The development schedule will be as we initially set. Please notify each team to the development team.”
“What do you mean? You said you’re not doing the home appliance division right now. Why are you doing something that won’t work? Do you think you can impress other clients with that?”
“You have to check with your team.”
As Director Kim Hyun-min gestured casually, Team Leader Lee Bon-seok’s face crumpled.
“Do you think the group leaders will approve if you go out like this?”
-You’ll have to report to the group leader anyway. Please fix the schedule after the date I told you.
Director Kim Hyun-min chuckled as he saw Yoo-hyun smirk.
That guy was always like that.
Director Kim Hyun-min spoke firmly with a strong tone.
“Then let’s set up a report for the group leader.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll set the schedule. Please prepare the report for the group leader by then.”
“…”
Team Leader Lee Bon-seok was speechless and Director Kim Hyun-min smiled leisurely.
He looked more mature than when he had confronted him in the conference room last time.
“Alright, let’s wrap it up. Good job on today’s meeting.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The meeting ended with the voices of the people.
Buzzing.
After the meeting, there was a tense atmosphere in the office.
If it was another organization, they could just go back to their seats, but the situation was different now.
They couldn’t stay in their seats because of the fierce energy coming from across the partition.
20th floor outdoor terrace.
Director Kim Hyun-min looked down at the Gangnam view and vented his honest feelings.
“Damn those development planning team bastards. Why can’t they put some partitions around my director’s seat? Or make me a separate room.”
“You used to say that stuff was all nonsense, didn’t you?”
Director Kim Hyun-min shook his head at Yoo-hyun’s question.
“It’s different from then. There was no one in my team who looked at me like that.”
“You were pretty reckless back then.”
“As reckless as you?”
“What did I do? I just conducted the meeting.”
“Who are you kidding? Don’t I know Director Kim Ho-geol?”
Director Kim Hyun-min reached out his hand to put a headlock on Yoo-hyun.
Of course, Yoo-hyun was not an easy target.
Swoosh.
Yoo-hyun dodged his body slightly and sipped his coffee leisurely.
“It wasn’t the director then. You saw it, right? He spoke sensibly.”
“You’ve been doing bomb stuff for months, you should grow up by then.”
“Thanks to that, you got some help too, right?”
At Yoo-hyun’s words, Director Kim Hyun-min slowly lowered his hand.
Then he raised one hand to his waist and looked at the Gangnam view with a paper cup in his mouth.
“Well, yeah. I also felt something today when I saw you.”
“I’d love to hear what the cheap master has to say.”
What is he trying to say by setting up this atmosphere?
Yoo-hyun replied with a good humor and Director Kim Hyun-min gave a hollow laugh.
