Chapter 507: LG's Troubles

The capital of South Goryeo, Seoul, Gangnam-gu.

It is a high-end business district and is home to the headquarters of many large groups, including LG Group.

LG Group Headquarters adopts a community building structure, with a simple and elegant design style, and the faΓ§ade is mostly made of glass curtain walls and metal materials, which looks modern and full of technology. At the center of the complex is a 30-storey main building, which is rectangular in shape and has a sloping design at the top, which looks particularly domineering.

"Dengdenden!"

A rhythmic sound of percussion echoed through the empty and bright corridors.

Hara, the new chairman of LG Group, is known as the most beautiful and wealthy woman in South Korea.

Today, she is wearing a small dark gray suit with a white turtleneck shirt, looking smart and neat. Her long hair is tied up high, revealing a white swan-like elegant neck, and the feminine elegance is fully revealed, and the exquisite tassel earrings worn on her ears reflect her beautiful and delicate face, adding a bit of noble queen temperament.

A pair of slender, sturdy and straight beautiful legs, with a pair of black high heels under his feet, the heels of the shoes hit the floor of the corridor, and the sound made seemed to carry an endless majesty!

On the left and right, two female assistants, who were also tall and beautiful, one holding a thick folder and the other holding a black leather bag, followed closely on either side of her.

Behind her, a team of assistants assisted by more than a dozen people, dressed in neat suits and walking in unison, followed closely behind her, escorting Hola towards the conference room.

When he came to the door, one of the assistants hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door of the conference room, and at the same time bowed deeply.

Hara didn't squint and walked straight inside.

In the No. 1 conference room of LG headquarters, more than a dozen directors sat upright, and when they saw Hola coming in, they quickly got up and bowed to her.

Hola glanced around and sat down first, and then the other directors took their seats.

Hola glanced at the directors, unmoved on the surface, but a little helpless in her heart.

She has not been the chairman of LG Group for a long time, and the outside world has praised her in various ways, but only when she sits in this position does she know how difficult it is.

Like many large conglomerates, LG's top management is also full of factions and struggles. Since she was a child, she has always been determined to become the head of LG, and with her years of hard work, she has also proved herself and stepped into this position step by step. But if she wants to go further and completely control the LG Group, she still has a bunch of difficulties and troubles in front of her.

Hola nodded slightly, signaling for the meeting to begin.

A tall middle-aged man with neatly combed hair took a document and began to report. This person is Kim Tae-joon, who is in charge of the marketing department, and she picked it up single-handedly, so she can be regarded as her own person.

"Dear Chairman Holla, Directors, I would like to report on the marketing situation for this quarter. As we all know, the recent market environment is very complex, with major competitors constantly emerging, and the sales situation is very serious. In particular, the virtual reality products led by Mi Guo Zhina Group have had a substantial impact on our traditional product line. However, we are not afraid of challenges and continue to explore the market to find breakthroughs. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, sales in the first quarter of this year increased by 5% compared to the previous quarter. This year, we have developed a more refined marketing strategy, and we are confident that we will achieve excellent results again......"

After listening to his report, Hola nodded and continued to ask: Do you have any new products launched recently?

Kim Tae-joon nodded and said, "Yes, chairman, directors, we have launched a new smart home device, which can intelligently control the home environment and has very good application prospects." We have promoted it in major offline sales channels, and also put products on major e-commerce platforms, and the response is very good. ”

Hearing his report, Hola frowned and said: "The market competition in this area is already very strong, didn't I ask you to focus on the virtual reality field guided by brain-computer interface technology?" ”

Hearing his words, Kim Tae-joon nodded and said, "Chairman, we have tried to make several rounds of contact with the Jina Group to seek cooperation, but they don't seem to be interested in it, and there are no financing plans recently. ”

Hara frowned when she heard Kim Tae-joon's answer, obviously not very satisfied.

"Then change the way of thinking, we will develop our own, set up a research and development team, increase investment, and strive to come up with similar products as soon as possible." Hola said.

When Kim Tae-joon heard her words, he looked embarrassed and said, "Chairman, this is a matter for the technical department......"

Hara looked at Zhang Yu, the head of the technical department who was sitting a little further away on her right, who lifted her glasses and began to report.

As the head of the technology department of LG Group, Zhang Yu is also a senior technical expert who is good at analyzing and solving technical problems. He is a veteran employee, has a high reputation in the company, and has been committed to the research and development of core display technology, which has won the company a lot of praise in the industry.

Director Zhang's appearance is slightly calm, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving people a sense of wisdom and shrewdness, and although he is 55 years old, he still looks elegant and decent.

It's just that as a representative of the conservative group of the group, Zhang Yu and her are not in the same trench.

Hara looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Director Zhang, I remember talking to your department about the research and development of brain-computer interface technology before, how is the progress?" ”

Zhang Yu lifted his glasses and replied unhurriedly: "The brain-computer interface technology represented by Zhina Group is indeed one of the more popular technologies at present, and we have also had some contact with them, but it is not ideal, and the chairman, I don't recommend that we change the track and study this field." ”

Hola frowned and asked, "Why don't you put it in?" There is a lot of promise in this field, can't you see it in your technical department? ”

In the face of her questioning, Zhang Yu said unhurriedly: "Chairman, although the prospects of this field are indeed very good, this is also a very high-risk field. We need more investment and technical support to be successful, and I think that's a bit too risky. ”

When Hola heard this, she was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?" Should we stay on to traditional display technology and wait to be obsolete? ”

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Chairman, I am not against technological innovation and research and development, but we need to try under a safe premise, not blindly invest." Display technology is our traditional strong field, we have a strong technical advantage in this area, and there is still a great demand in the global market in this area. ”

"Let me say a few words." Kim Tae-geun, who was sitting at the top of Hara's left hand, coughed and said.

Hearing the old man's words, Hora frowned.

Kim Tae-geun is one of the founders of LG Group and has been in a senior position in the company, where he has a strong influence on the board of directors. At the same time, he is also a representative of the "conservatives", and secretly supports his younger brother who is not angry.

Hara's younger brother is called Koo Chang, who is less than thirty years old, and unlike Hara, who is dedicated to her career, he is a complete gentleman. This guy often goes in and out of luxury nightclubs, likes to drive luxury cars, buy famous brands, and live a luxurious life.

Despite this, Gu Chang is very loved by his father Gu Chengxu (Koo Seung-ok), because although Gu Chang is not good at business management, he is very good at interpersonal communication, not only won over many group executives to say good things for him, but also especially in front of his father, and has always said that he will not compete with her for power, and always shows a sensible and obedient appearance, so that his father often feels indebted to him.

In fact, this guy has been secretly using methods to pull her down from this position.

Hara is not reluctant to take this position, she is dedicated to the sake of the family, and she also wants to develop LG by sitting in this position, she knows what the result will be if LG is handed over to Gu Chang, so although she has been misunderstood, she still insists on doing what she thinks is right.

Hearing Kim Tae-geun's words, Hara smiled politely at him.

Kim Tae-geun said in an unhurried tone, "Brain-computer interface technology is indeed a very cutting-edge field, but it is also very risky, LG Group has its own strong field, we can't be reluctant to go far, blindly pursue new technologies, and ignore our advantages in traditional industries and market demand." ”

Hearing his words, most of the directors nodded and softly agreed.

Looking at this scene, Kim Tae-geun's face showed a smug look.

Hora was a little helpless, so she had to skip this topic and move on to the next thing.

At the end of the meeting, several inconsequential resolutions were passed, and the most critical strategic transformation she wanted was still full of resistance, and Hola was a little depressed.

After the meeting, a group of chairmen rushed out, and Hola sat in the center of the main seat, looking a little tired.

"Chairman, your phone number." The assistant handed her the phone and reminded her softly.

Hara glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was her friend Yang Hyun Suk, so she picked it up.

"Hyun-suk, what's the matter?" Hara asked with a smile, her tone a little lighthearted.

But then, when she heard what was on the phone, her expression suddenly became angry.

"What? You say Gu Chang? That bastard would do such a thing? Don't get excited, I'll deal with it right away! ”

Hanging up the phone, Hara's face is full of anger!

Seeing this scene, the two assistants didn't dare to come out, they had never seen the chairman so angry.

"Go to The ShillaSeoul!" Hola said lightly, her eyes were extremely sharp, and there was a chill in her voice!
