Chapter 486:

Yoo-hyun’s presentation began shortly after.

His English pronunciation was clear and the slides on the screen were neat, so there was no problem in understanding him.

Still, at Yoo-hyun’s request, Director Seok Ji-sung provided real-time interpretation.

“The collaboration between Narutal Power and Hansung Energy started in early last year…”

Yoo-hyun traced the past history, which included the reason why the negotiation had failed.

Despite the inclusion of some uncomfortable content, he managed to smooth it over with his eloquence.

In this warm atmosphere, Yoo-hyun spoke without hesitation.

“Also, the wind farm site that we agreed to provide to Narutal Power is currently on hold due to political issues, and there is no possibility of resuming the negotiation for the time being.”

Director Hong Seung-jae and Director Seok Ji-sung were flustered.

He had exposed his weakness before the negotiation even started.

When Director Seok Ji-sung was about to interpret, Anna Allen asked in English.

“You are very honest. We already knew that. But you must have a reason for inviting us, right?”

“Of course. Hansung still wants to build a 50-megawatt solar farm in Madrid with Narutal Power.”

“Hmm, you mean you want a lower price.”

“No. It’s the same as the original plan.”

Yoo-hyun showed the previous negotiation plan on the screen and answered. Hugo Gonzalez doubted his ears.

He confirmed the content again through Director Seok Ji-sung’s interpretation and his expression crumpled in an instant.

“Huh. Then the deal doesn’t match, does it?”

The others also looked puzzled.

The atmosphere was not good. Given the hasty personality of the Spanish people, they could have said something rude.

Yoo-hyun faced the sharp eyes and recalled the question he had when he took over the Spanish project.

Why did Narutal Power want to bring in Hansung Energy and build a solar farm?

Why did they want to build a wind farm on Korean land in return?

Considering the scale of Narutal Power, a state-owned company, the project cost of 100 billion won was not that big.

Yet, looking at their history, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that they were in a hurry.

Not only them, but also the surrounding power companies were the same.

Yoo-hyun decided to confirm his guess and threw a bomb.

“Hansung Energy’s purpose of building this power plant is more of an investment than a profit.”

“That makes sense. If we succeed in collaborating, there will be more investment opportunities in the second and third phases.”

“That’s right. But what if that’s not possible?”

“What do you mean by not possible?”

“For example, what if the Spanish government abolishes the subsidy for eco-friendly power plants from 2012?”

Anna Allen’s eyes wavered.

Yoo-hyun was sure that his prediction based on the analysis of numerous data was correct.

The reason why the Spanish power companies, including Narutal Power, were rushing to build eco-friendly power plants was not because the business was booming.

It was because the considerable national benefits, such as tax cuts, would end this year.

Anna Allen, who hid her expression, answered in a low voice.

“It’s not appropriate to bring up an unlikely possibility in the negotiation.”

“No. It’s something I confirmed through the news. People who know already know it.”

Yoo-hyun did not back down and threw a bait. Yon Noriega, who was hot-blooded, bit it.

“That can’t be. That must be only known internally…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a roar came out of Hugo Gonzalez’s mouth.

“Yon. Shut up.”

“I’m sorry.”

Hugo Gonzalez pushed Yon Noriega back and spoke to Director Seok Ji-sung.

“Diego, can you give us some time? And we don’t need the interpretation.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Director Seok Ji-sung swallowed his saliva, knowing Hugo Gonzalez’s usual personality.

The Narutal Power employees discussed seriously with grave expressions.

“Even so, this negotiation is…”

“I think so too…”

The Spanish language flew fast and created a tense atmosphere.

Director Hong Seung-jae whispered to Yoo-hyun with an anxious expression.

“Your point is valid, but we will lose if we don’t make a deal. There are other markets besides Spain.”

“I know.”

“Then why…”

Director Hong Seung-jae was impatient.

Hugo Gonzalez, who had finished the discussion, showed a subdued look.

“So you have nothing to gain and nothing to give, is that it?”

If he wanted to break off the negotiation, he wouldn’t have wasted his time.

Yoo-hyun offered a reversal to the opponent who had concluded that there was nothing more to get.

“No. I have prepared another compensation.”

“What is it?”

“It’s the bus system.”

“The bus system?”

Yoo-hyun ignored Anna Allen’s surprise and showed the prepared data.

The screen was filled with the details of the advanced bus system that Hansung SI and Hansung Electronics had jointly developed.

Deputy Shin Nak-kyun blinked his eyes as he saw his data being used in an unexpected situation.

“Yes. We will provide Hansung’s technology that built the foundation of the Seoul bus system and also upgraded the Sao Paulo bus system in Brazil.”

“Do you mean you will let us do business under Narutal Power’s name?”

“Of course. The bus system will be supplied by Narutal Power. But we should also get something in return.”

“Wait a minute.”

Anna Allen, who was faced with a completely different option, gathered the Narutal Power employees again.

They put their heads together and discussed again.

Yoo-hyun recalled a scene that was vivid in his memory.

-Narutal Power became the world’s largest transportation infrastructure company as a result of boldly introducing the advanced bus system. Thanks to that, I was able to become the president of this wonderful company.

Maria Carlos, who was more famous as a descendant of the Spanish royal family than the president of Narutal Power, said that when she came to Korea.

He was there when she gave the presentation, wanting her connections.

Was it because of that memory?

Yoo-hyun thought of the bus system first when he heard the name Narutal Power, rather than the power.

It was something that would happen in a few years, but he thought it would start around this time and checked it out. He found that they had contacted many companies.

The person in charge was Anna Allen, who was now looking nervous.

That was also the reason why she was interested in the Seoul bus tour that Yoo-hyun suggested.

While Yoo-hyun was chewing over the series of events he had gone through, Hugo Gonzalez opened his mouth.

His voice was much softer and his tone was more careful than before.

“We need some time to review your proposal.”

“Then I will also send you the detailed internal data.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. I want to give you more, considering the future relationship between Hansung and Narutal Power.”

As soon as Yoo-hyun opened his heart, Hugo Gonzalez’s mouth curled up.

He looked at Anna Allen with a playful expression, hiding his stiff face.

“Anna should give him a kiss for this.”

“Not bad.”

Anna Allen smiled and answered. Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes, pretending not to know.

“What?”

At the same time, the Narutal Power employees laughed out loud. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

“Hahaha.”

The Hansung Energy employees also relaxed their shoulders in the successful atmosphere.

Only one person, Deputy Shin Nak-kyun, did not look happy.

The meeting ended after a few more words were exchanged in the friendly atmosphere.

Yoo-hyun sent everyone away and leisurely organized his laptop.

Then, Deputy Shin Nak-kyun spat out some Spanish to him.

His tone was soft, but his content was harsh.

“How dare you sell someone else’s project? Do you think you can get away with it?”

“Why don’t you come out and say it instead of talking behind my back?”

Yoo-hyun answered in fluent Spanish with a smirk. Deputy Shin Nak-kyun was shocked.

“Huh.”

“What are you surprised about? Do you think I can’t do what you do?”

“Then why, why did you…”

Deputy Shin Nak-kyun stuttered in disbelief. Yoo-hyun taught him a lesson.

“Deputy Shin, you can’t negotiate by acting smart. Sometimes it’s better to pretend you don’t know.”

“…”

Deputy Shin Nak-kyun recalled Yoo-hyun’s mistake.

That one mistake changed the atmosphere dramatically, and the negotiation that could have been rough went smoothly.

Yoo-hyun handed him a bag.

“Take this as a fee for my lecture.”

Thud.

Deputy Shin Nak-kyun took it in a daze. Yoo-hyun left without looking back.

He hesitated for a while and followed him.

The bag that he thought would fall to the ground was safely held in his arms.

It was the next morning after the meeting.

Director Seok Ji-sung sent a message to Yoo-hyun, who had just arrived at work.

-Thanks to you, I think we gave a positive image of Hansung to the Narutal Power employees. Thank you.

Director Seok Ji-sung kindly sent him this message before leaving for Spain.

Yoo-hyun was grateful for his mind, as he would need his help a lot in the future.

He sent a thank-you reply.

As soon as the message was sent, a welcome call came.

He answered it right away.

“Dad, good morning.”

-How did you answer so quickly?

“I was waiting for your call, dad.”

-Hahaha. Do you know what I’m going to say when I call you?

He called just before work time, so Yoo-hyun knew his father’s intention.

He hit the nail on the head.

“Are you worried about how I’m adapting to the new organization?”

-Ah, you’re so smart. I can’t even ask you anything.

“Don’t worry. I’m doing well. And so is my work.”

-It’s a relief to hear that, but you should also know how to say when you’re having a hard time.

Yoo-hyun was sincere, but his father still sounded worried.

He said some comforting words to his father, who was like a sturdy tree.

“Then I’ll bring you a lot of alcohol when I’m having a hard time.”

-Haha. I hope you have a hard time. I can’t drink these days because I’m teaching your mom how to drive.

“Driving?”

-Don’t you still oppose her driving?

“I’m just worried.”

-Don’t tell your mom I said this. She’ll scold me for worrying you.

Yoo-hyun had a reason why he wanted his mother not to drive.

It was because his mother had left the world in an accident caused by driving.

Of course, Yoo-hyun knew he couldn’t avoid it forever.

He suppressed his feelings and said in a calm voice.

“No. I know mom needs to drive.”

-Yeah. The side dish store has grown so much that I guess she needs it.

“What about the car?”

-I’m thinking of lending her a bongo car that’s left in the company to deliver the side dishes.

“That car is a bit… Never mind.”

Yoo-hyun was annoyed for a moment, but he calmed down again.

She was still in training, so he had some time.

-Don’t worry. I’ll teach her how to drive well.

“Yes. I trust you, the best driver.”

-Yeah. You’re so nice and burdensome.

Yoo-hyun’s mind was relieved by his father’s joke.

He exchanged a few more words with his father and ended the call.

What should he do?

He wanted to hire a driver for her, but his mother would never agree, knowing her personality.

He was thinking about this when Deputy Shin Nak-kyun approached him.

He looked gloomy for some reason.

“Director.”

“Yeah, what?”

“I’m told to attend the team meeting.”

“Is it because of the meeting yesterday?”

Yoo-hyun guessed right, and Deputy Shin Nak-kyun hesitated awkwardly.

“Well, actually…”

“Don’t be silly. It’s natural to report to the team leader.”

“The atmosphere won’t be very good.”

“Don’t worry about me and just guide me. I can’t be late for my first team meeting.”

Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and patted his back. Deputy Shin Nak-kyun took a step.

Yoo-hyun followed him leisurely, carrying his bag.
