Chemistry

< 23. Into the Wild (2) >

Bite and tear, a confrontation without concession.

This was the impression that Jungwoo received at the executive meeting that really began.

“No! The number one float in the domestic component market is synthetic precision chemistry, and now it's a waste to invest in 60 billion market pies. ”

“With the regulatory enhancement of emissions, the 1600cc vehicle will also be eligible for Euro 6 next year. The market size will be much bigger. ”

Number of elements. Chemicals that remove nitrogen oxides from the vehicle. EUR 6. Emissions regulatory system of the European Union, which is the global standard of airflow.

Jung, who remembered the unfamiliar compound market he learned from this data, was surprised to see Zhang Zhang Zhen quarrelling over his management support department and business mindset.

“So, is there a way to strengthen the underrated component count product than the incarnation itself? ”

“If there is a predicted market and you are going to avoid investing, why do you research? Don't just sell what you have. And do you see the Center Project Team as an intro? You're wrong to ask world-class researchers for the right support? There's no such thing as mindset. ”

“We can't afford to pay for research in a seemingly small market, can we? ”

“How dare you talk back to me, Emperor? ”

“Dr. Jean is such a mind drifter? ”

Sun-nyeo, senior researcher, turned on the microphone when the fire broke out between the executive officer and the center manager.

“Calm down, you two. ”

Sunrise fever, which looked about the same age as Shin Yun-seok, was a man in his mid-50s with a gentle impression of horn rims.

“There's a saying on the GO: Seeing the winning country again is a habit of winning. Seeing a losing country again makes you ready to win. President Jang Tae-sun is preparing to win, Hwang Ik-hyun is preparing to lose, but the essence is the same. So let's cooperate and reconcile. ”

The senior researcher's gentle point caused a lot of rough atmosphere to subside. Sunrise fever struck me as I thought about something.

“According to his research team's results, he overcame the disadvantage of a turbulent number of factors below 10 degrees. This competitiveness is not confined to the cramped Korean market, but also to the Chinese market. If you set it up and sell it at a gas station around an industrial complex, there's very little cost of entry, and there's less repulsion from shareholders about investment risk. ”

Zhang Tai Lin and Hwang Ik-hyun accepted a proposal that encompassed both research and business. It was strange and surprising for Jungwoo.

"I have to do this in a meeting," I said. ’

As a friend who had come to life in the laboratory with only the chemical world in mind, he was the active ingredient of the dying sunrise fever.

Discussions between center chairman, director, senior researcher and executives about the bold business were relentless, and this time a fight broke out between Park Ho-jin director of Strategic Planning and a material science slave ship.

“Hydroquinone and methylhydroquinone research is urgent. ”

“No, does it make sense to study that there are no experts in the center but just push? ”

“It's hard to jump into all the small businesses. A marketplace where you can make money by expanding and selling your production facilities. ”

“Hey, Director Park. This is our KG chemistry. Domestic markets are ridiculed or researched by technology-led 100 points. Very little is done, and researchers are cheated. ”

This time, the chief researcher, Dr. Kim Oh Sung, turned on the microphone.

“Hydroquinones have tremendous potential in the specialty coating market as well as food antioxidants. Solvaisha, Germany, actually put her life on the line here. ”

Kim Oh Sung glanced around the crowd with a cold expression.

“The question that lacks expertise is, was it rainforest chemistry that small businesses with this source technology? Chief Jang Jang-hwan here is probably the best engineer in the country. Since this person is not a scout or a large company, why don't you reconsider the merger direction at all? ”

Cha Bon-jun nodded, not only for the potential use of organic chemicals, but also for Kim Oh Sung's suggestion, which is being carefully identified by the relevant industry technicians.

"People need to know"? ’

As Jungwoo died once more, Kim Oh-seong continued to talk.

“What Dr. Noh said about technology leading and fraud is important. There's a saying that you can't always be a winner in GO, but you shouldn't get used to the role of a loser. KG Chemistry Domestic

Number one is a brand worth defending, even if it costs money. ”

After Kim Oh Sung's feeling of closure, the Finance Executive Director announced the main agenda today.

“We have an urgent problem with the deterioration of profits from the Ministry of Petroleum and Agriculture, which is why we need to reduce the number of people in large scale factories and pollen plants. ”

Everyone was interested in the issues that could get 30% of the stakeholders laid off, regardless of headquarters employees or researchers.

“Last week you said you wanted to scale up to M&A and break through? ”

“This market is already over-supplied. How do you manage a petroleum-related product, no matter how efficient and technologically sound you are, when there is no demand? I have to squeeze my belt. ”

“I agree with the structure in part. The international oil price is Honjo, Honjo. Dubai oil costs 24.38 dollars, and Western Texas oil costs 31.45 dollars. There is no chance that the market will come back to life at this sleek oil price. ”

Although there was no harsh speech, the president's expression was increasingly severe, because the opinion of each executive was different.

Cha Bon-jun, who had only been listening for about a decade, saw Shin Yun-seok, who had never said a word.

“I'd like to hear Dr. Shin's opinion. ”

When Dr. Jungwoo saw the data on the previous oil fair improvement project, he was excited to give his opinion. However, I was also worried that Shin Yoon-suk might be the only senior researcher who would be left alone if he gave an impressive opinion.

Shin Yoon-suk took his mouth to the microphone.

“SG Innovation, the industry's number one refinery company, benefits from this challenging margin. ”

Shin Yun-seok outlined the refinery's business strategy for largely extracting export volumes using a much faster crude oil price drop than the rate at which the price of petroleum products fell.

“The market has become difficult because of the volume explosion of competitors, not because of the many holes in the R&D process and the business process. And for that reason, squeezing the waistband of innocent people is, I think, one of the worst. I don't feel much about the one I don't know, but the one I did rashly leaves a big scar. ”

Jungwoo felt that Shin Yun-seok's last remark was a proverb about GO like the other chief researchers. Probably a common hobby among senior researchers.

“As expected, Dr. Shin. You're poking at a spot no one's willing to mention. ”

Cha Bon-jun nodded and sighed deeply.

“But the solution is not appropriate. There is no point in discussing any more responsibilities in the yard where the Head of Petroleum and Agriculture has already received the letter. ”

“Improving the extraction process minimizes deficit width. ”

“You mean we can make more progress here? ”

“Every single combination is a dramatic shift in chemistry. We are also working with Mitsubishi, Japan, to develop acrylic esters and highly absorbent resins in acrylic materials. If this project succeeds, we'll be able to somewhat make up for the long-term malfunction of the oil industry. ”

“The best we can do for now is to take the damage we've done until then. The Finance team should pick and report periodic growth forecasts. ”

After the provisional decision that Sun Woo heard earlier, the meeting seemed to end for about an hour.

- Have you not heard a single word he has to say in the Executive seat?

It came out of nowhere, and people looked at Jung without you having to. It was because it was interesting to have a very young man sitting at a central table that was at least mid-40s.

Jungwoo felt nervous as other executives started to look at him, except the center leaders.

‘I said I'd be ready, but business logic is hard to follow. ’

It was clear that if I opened my mouth carelessly, the perfect situation would unfold to hear only ridicule.

What do we do?

A monitor screen that caught Jungwoo's attention. Jungwoo's eyes lit up as she watched the folder containing the handed over data.

“Can I help you? ”

Zhang Tai Sun bites low without turning on the microphone. Jungwoo said, "Wait a minute.” and I clicked on the research on the petroleum industry project and floated it on the screen.

‘They know more about business and interests anyway. Let's exclude it at all, and consider only the chemical aspects. ’

I remembered the small universe of the molecular world in front of my eyes with the formula of the data in my head.

Then I pressed the microphone button.

“I'm talking about the lack of business. Petrochemical processes start with catalysts and end with catalysts, so if you put in a charcoal mixture, a high-efficiency catalyst that can greatly simplify this part of the process. I don't think there will be any minimum loss. ”

You're talking about next-generation catalysts. If that were the case, would the head office be packed? ’I continued to talk softly.

“Simplify? Keep it simple, Chief Lim Wu?" ”

Since Cha Bon-jun was interested in no one else, Sulaiman became silent.

Jungwoo tapped on the laptop keyboard in front of him and turned his eyes to the Human Resources representative who was helping him with the meeting.

“Is it connected to my main screen? ”

As soon as the horse finished, Jungwoo's screen appeared on a large screen on one side of the conference room.

“Remove the existing hard olefin production contact catalyst and extend the combined reactor process of low-temperature plasma and heteropolyic acid catalyst to olefins. Like this.”

The head office officers looked at the screen with what was that, but the head of the center and other senior researchers looked at Jungwoo's written formula with an interested gaze.

“If we develop this technology and sell it to SG and T-Oil, that would be quite profitable too. ”

Zhang Tai Lin was amazed and stabbed the side of Jung Woo.

“We replaced the central element and the isotope with four types of heteropolyic acid. Dr. Herr, why does this look so stable? ”

“You've subtly counteracted the heteropolyic acid catalytic activity and conversion, maintaining the crystal structure in a 200-degree heat treatment process. ”

Cha Bon-jun, who watched the consecutive compliments of the center leaders, asked Shin Yun-seok.

“Dr. Shin. Is Chief Limit Woo's opinion a reliable suggestion? ”

“Theoretically, it's flawless. ”

In response, Cha Bon-jun's head moved to where the commanders were sitting.

“Who's in the oil department? ”

“I am Hae Sung-wook, Head of Synthetic Resistance Team. ”

“Simplifying the intermediate catalyst process reduces the width of the deficit? ”

Hae Sung-wook quickly calculated it.

“Light olefin catalysts cost $1.35 a barrel. Given that total petroleum production by August was 120 million barrels, the NCC process saves $160 million in production costs. It turns out that it carries less than 180 billion won. ”

“What's the total deficit that the oil department paid by the second quarter? ”

“200 billion.”

Just saying that 90% of the deficits could disappear with that formula, all of the head office officers and directors' gazes turned towards Jungwoo.

- For real?

- You and Dr. Shin Yun-seok were okay. Then it's over.

Earlier, I was anti-Semitic, but now I slowly admit it.

“Consider the offer of a limited time chief of staff. If that's possible, we can also think of a metaphor shift in Q3 and Q4. ”

At Cha Bon-jun's instructions, a bunch of Seok-kyung Ministry officials looked a little younger.

Is this enough for you? ’

After the first speech came to fruition, Jung let out a small sigh of relief. Then I met Cha Bon-jun who was watching him carefully.

“Senior Officer Lim Woo. Do you have anything else to say? ”

“Ahh · ·”

I still have a lot to say if I'm considering a chemical approach anyway. Jungwoo looks at the senior researchers sitting next to him and replies.

“Dr. Kim Oh Sung told us earlier about the industry-leading technology that will protect the value of KG chemistry. On the part of hydroquinone research. This is how to make 2-tert-butyl hydroquinone with butanol. ”

A series of processes was developed by heating the reaction solution to 110°C by placing 85% phosphoric acid 240ml, P-xylene 240ml in 0.6mol of hydrocompound on a large monitor.

“· · 40% yield yields 99% solids. It is a stable antioxidant and can also be used as a special coating. If you look at the technical description of rainforest chemistry, it's only 87 percent pure. ”

The slave ship that opened its eyes and studied the manufacturing formula of the large monitor was 110 points.

Dr. Kim Sung Oh also laughed at the manufacturing formula.

“Dr. Shin. Is that why you brought him in first? You saved 20 billion in M&A in three minutes, my friend. ”

“I thought you said it wasn't a parachute. ”

The admiration of the doctors shocked the room. Cha Bon-jun looked at Park Ho-jin from the Electrical Planning Room.

“Director Park. Please review your business and submit a report. ”

“I understand.”

Jungwoo glanced at himself as he finished his remark, and he met Dr. Seo Sun-yeol. Suddenly, I was able to assist the other two chief researchers. I thought about the chemistry of emissions and urea water because I felt the obligation to assist him in his speech.

“And then.”

As soon as I put on the microphone, the conference room is silent as if dead. Jungwoo swallowed up his groaning and quickly made a project formula correction while imagining the molecular world through the data.

Since it was a study of basic materials, Zhang Fei's mouth caught my ears.

“Will you take a look at this? The reason why we're pushed by neo-precision chemicals is because of their inhibitory efficiency, not just nitrogen oxides. I don't think it's a good idea to advertise your reduction efficiency at a competitive level, 90% or 91%. People are familiar with the product unless there's a big difference. ”

Jungwoo, who released some of the concepts he learned while helping K3 research, finished writing and said.

“The worst disadvantage of element numbers. How about we change the smell of your car engine because of the ingredients that are born from fertilizer? Is it aromatic ammonia? ”

Zhang Tai Lin read the formula and raised his finger.

“Hey, this is Audrey Perfume · · ·”

“Not exactly because of the license. We've added a slightly floral variation to the odor elimination effect. ”

At this moment, the five center heads eagle-burning their desire to have limited contact regardless of the meeting.

“I am the Director of overseas sales. Mr. Jungwoo has a question. ”

“Go ahead.”

“If Mr. Lim Wu's suggestion is true, can we improve the flavor of jasmine that is familiar to Chinese people? Strengths to appeal to your buyers · ·”

As soon as Jungwoo tried to answer that it would be possible, he opened his eyes and lifted his fingers.

“Director Ma! What position do you have, Mr. Limbo or Mr. Limbo? What is this? ”

“I'm sorry. Dr. Jean."

The horse commander bowed to Jungwoo.

“My apologies, Dr. Lim Wu. ”

He smiled bitterly because he was a scholar and not a master, but Zhang Tai Sun said, "Did I do well? 'I couldn't resist seeing it with my eyes.

As I shrugged my shoulders, the servant boat next to Zhang Tai Seon's actions, who liked to score with Jung Woo, suddenly stood up.

“Director Ma! Chief researcher at KG Chemistry is at least unpaid. Do you also call me Mr. Jo Byung-cheol from overseas sales? Straight up, straight up. ”

The horse commander pricked me another day. The other three centre leaders couldn't stand to see Jungwoo even the slave ships.

“Yes, Mr. Madhua. How about we start with your brother today? ”

“There's no minimum courtesy for an officer. Did you know that only those who added 50% of the year-end bonus to the overseas sales team's Chinese performance are senior? Tsk.”

“Just sigh at the hierarchy falling to the ground, yes. I'll call you Mr. Herschel from today. ”

I quickly went out feeling the need to fix up the atmosphere of the meeting room that was becoming chaotic at the last minute.

“Ma'am. If the name is ambiguous, please call me Chief Lim Woo. And jasmine. ”

I asked him a question for no reason, and he thanked me for sitting there and saving my life when I was beaten by the five Vice Presidents.

After everything we had to say, Jungwoo remembers what the other three chief researchers had said when they decided to clean up and back off before the big mess.

‘What do you need to know about your world to put a spoon on it? ’

He said with all his knowledge.

“I don't know what to do with you telling me you're so eager to save my comrade's life. The chemical improvements I propose are not like special tricks. ”

‘What did marijuana say? ’

I made up my mind after a short thought.

“The reason cannabis doesn't die easily is because it has deep roots. What I've done is I've ripped a piece of fruit out of those strong rooted research trees. It's a common move. I'm done talking. ”

Jungwoo, who did his best to be the lead researcher, turned off the microphone by imitating a line from whether it was a GO film or a cartoon.

Zhang Tai Seon patted Jung Woo's shoulder with a chuckle next to him.

“A common move? A resin of God. By the way, I've heard the other doctors talk about GO, but I've never heard you say that before, Jungwoo. Who did this? ”

“I don't know. Maybe · · · · Wedding info Shusaku? ”

When we bring out the character of the Ghost GOOG King that we saw in junior high, Jang Tae-sun said, "Oh, him?” I was impressed. Turns out I don't know who that is. I just thought I'd give him a compliment. But I didn't want to join a high-performance plastic project.

Time for everyone to leave after a two-hour meeting.

“Senior. ”

Shin Yoon-seok called Jungwoo.

“I didn't expect that, but you've been steady since the first meeting. ”

“Is that too much to ask? ”

“Not at all. The board of directors will know exactly why you're sitting there. Feel free to continue the research you want to do without having to perform separately. ”

Jungwoo bowed to Shin Yun-seok's advice and thanked him.

“It will be a bit annoying in the future. Even practitioners who didn't know you well could smell what kind of chemist you are. They look like ghosts to me. ”

Shin Yoon-seok's heartfelt words immediately understood from the 25th floor elevator in EAST.

“Dr. Jungwoo! Director of Strategic Planning Team 3, Tae-yeol Shim! We're working on a green plasticizer technology partnership in Russia. ”

“Senior, the next generation of refrigerant development competition has ignited as the proposed HFC has been further strengthened at the G7 Environmental Conference. Our two teams take this opportunity. ”

“Team 1, this is Chairman Jang Jae-seon. We are looking to bid against Lances in vehicle lightning materials, but we are desperately in need of senior qualifiers. ”

Following the Strategic Planning Team, sales team practitioners were also attached to Jungwoo.

“I am the deputy director of Ko Jun-seok. Would you like to review the engineering plastic business plan? ”

“I'm Manager Park Taegwang from Sales Team 2! ”

“Senior Chief Jungwoo! ”

“Senior!”

Jung entered his private laboratory with his arms full of plans.

‘Ow, I'm so busy. This is why I need a research assistant. ’

It was Jungwoo who asked Human Resources to get help quickly.

After putting all the plans on the desk, it was about five books thick.

“It's a late-night angle. ”

I also heard that being an executive somewhere increases my chances of being overwhelmed by work.

Rather than just proposing a plan, the weight of the position to review dozens of plans and implement them was greater than I had ever imagined.

‘Responsibility is crushing my shoulders. Whew.'

Jungwoo leaned against the chair and started reviewing the plan one by one. The executive chair made of the finest leather was cozy.

That evening.

Jungwoo squeezed his neck as he saw the clock on the wall pointing to 8 o'clock. After reviewing the remaining one, I decided to leave at 9: 00.

About 30 minutes later, Jung stretched his arms out to the ceiling.

“It's over!”

Zhongwoo stood up and stared at three documents on the desk, ranked 1, 2 and 3, out of a total of 23 plans.

However, after looking at the plan to make a remarkable achievement, the criteria became one.

‘Profitable. ’

There are at least 150 billion third-rate specialty pigments and paint development projects; there are 200 billion second-rate eco-friendly sewer sludge energy plants; and there are 30 billion first-rate aerospace technology cooperation businesses. It was all a global marketplace.

The high performance plastic sent by Zhang Tai Sun in the afternoon was about 90 billion, unfortunately failing the review phase.

‘I need to think slowly about one of the three, because I don't want to get stuck on the first step. ’

When I stopped what I was going to do as the lead researcher and was satisfied that I had been framed to do something and packed my bag.

Pyriririx.

The phone on one side rang.

Since the name of Yoon Jae-gil Center Chairman of Eugene Chemical was floating, Jungwoo wanted to know what happened, so he pressed the call button.

- Jungwoo. Congratulations.

As soon as I got it, congratulations flew in.

- I think you were introduced as an intern last night. At that time, I still regret catching something stronger.

“Please take good care of yourself in the future, Center Leader. ”

Just as I had received an unexpected tip from Zhang Fei, I thought I would be able to hear enough knowledge from a favorable Yoon Jae-gil.

- I have a business proposition for you, since you're first in command.

It was also a celebration, and the main purpose was to talk about work.

“I told you I'm not going back to a place I can't stay. I'm sick of the smell of oil. ”

There is only one pipeline business in the world that is larger than Alaskan pipelines. It was the longest line through the Siberian field to Europe. In other words, it's damn cold.

- Haha, it's not a pipeline business.

“Or what?"

- From Sahara to Mozambique. Have you heard of the Africa West Coast desalination plan? We won the award for corrosion management in Alaska, where we repaired the water supply.

This time it was about a tube through which water flows.

“Do you use freshwater to purify the seawater? ”

The water business is close to 800 trillion people worldwide. It's growing by more than 50 percent every year. Oil disappears, but the water continues to circulate.

Seeing that it was almost 9 o'clock, he asked the key elements without wasting time.

“So what's the estimated gross margin? ”

- Immediately after the review of the old sewers in the '80s and' 90s, it's a five-year contract, and you get 50 billion administrative fees every year.

Even though it was 350 billion in total, it will participate as an outsider, so only half the profit will come to KG Chemistry.

The first job was not worth considering.

“Sorry · · ·”

Jung, who was about to refuse the dagger, took it out because he had a remarkable business in the planning outside of the crowded ranking area on the left.

Plan to supply RO filter alone to seawater desalination facility on Egyptian side. This was about 40 billion.

“By the way, how long is the line for the African water supply? ”

4,323.29 kilometers.

The Egyptian business, Fort Said's capital city, was 100 times more diverse than just 40 kilometers. There will be a difference, but at least 50 times more filters will be used to expand to an enormous business size of 2 trillion won.

“Is there a defined filter company in the sewers? ”

- I hear two companies compete. Beolia and Suez are two mountain ranges of the water industry.

“You can still compete in filter technology, right? ”

- That's right, but... Mr. Lim Wu, are you interested in bidding? These two companies have dominated Europe's sewage industry for over 100 years. Your know-how and technical skills are completely different from those of other companies. If we weren't at Castle Alaska, they would have qualified us for a plumbing check.

Jungwoo turned his back on a 40-billion-dollar business with a potential ranging from 50 to 100 times that of his hand and a secure first-rate business.

‘It should be okay to have fun. It's easy.'

Even so, it is honestly nothing compared to 2 trillion won. You take 0.01% commission on industry practices, and you lose 200 million.

“Compete in the tender and I'll be happy to help you with your plumbing totalcare. ”

Then, of course, I will do my best to cooperate with Eugene Chemical.

Western Africa desalination business.

That is how the project will become the first step for senior researchers.
