I’m The Only One With Genius DNA 89

I’m The Only One With Genius DNA chapter 89

The seminar is over.

“Can I talk to you in my office for a second?”

asked Ban Doo-il.

“Yes, that’s great. But let me make a phone call.”

Ryu Young-joon asked for his understanding and came outside. After moving to a place where there were fewer students passing by, I picked up my cell phone.

I called Secretary Yoo Song-mi.

“Secretary Yoo, what does this mean? What are you talking about, all of a sudden, R&D strategic planning director?”

asked Ryu Young-joon.

It’s a national CTO job. I got a call today, and Cheong Wa Dae told me that they want to have CEO Ryu as the national CTO.

“…….”

I said I’d give it to him for now, but…….You won’t do it……?

asked Yoo Song-mi.

– It is an honorable position to be treated as a vice minister and an important position to coordinate Korea’s overall science and technology policies, but it is also an official position. I can’t serve at the same time.

“Yes, is there anyone from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy?”

– When I asked the CEO’s schedule, he said he would answer after asking. The free time on the schedule is tomorrow at 5 p.m. and Friday at 2 p.m.

“Please set up a meeting tomorrow.”

Ryu Young-joon said.

He ended the call and moved to see Professor Ban Doo-il.

Ban Doo-il looked worried. Ryu Young-joon went in with a smile on purpose.

“How have you been?”

He asked.

“Yeah, I’ve been well. Especially thanks to you, I’m getting a lot of energy ahead of my retirement.”

Ban Doo-il said.

“But Youngjun, are you going to be a national CTO?”

“I don’t think much about it.”

Ryu Young-joon replied calmly.

Only then did Ban Du-il’s expression brighten up. He let out a sigh of limitation.

“Okay, you still have to do your research. The national CTO position is an important position that oversees the entire direction of R&D in Korea, but it cannot be directly researched. My main job is to provide research funding to universities and institutions and set up projects.”

“That’s right.”

“I think other scientists can do that, too. Of course, I might do better than you. But you’re the only one who can use stem cells to develop new treatments and fight AIDS.”

“…….”

“If you deviate from the forefront of this country’s research and development, it will certainly slow everything down that much.”

“I still want to work in the first line of research.”

“Really?”

Ban Du-il was delighted.

“Of course.”

“Oh, thank God. When I heard that earlier, I was nervous inside.”

Ban Doo-il said.

“Young-joon, I think this is purely because of people who want to use your ability for national business, and more computationally, because of people who want to use your image on the approval rating of the regime.”

“Your approval rating?”

“There’s only a year left until the presidential election.”

“Oh.”

“Isn’t the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention trying to catch dengue in Jeju Island as you developed the diagnostic kit this time? With that momentum, we’re going to recruit outstanding scientists to create a government image that is good at leading science. In fact, it would be a great help if you came in.”

“I see what you mean.”

Ryu Young-joon replied.

“Then you’re gonna say no, right?”

“I’ll see how you suggest it.”

The corners of his mouth went down. He looked anxious.

The corners of his mouth went down. He looked anxious.

Ryu Young-joon grinned.

“It’s a good job and a good opportunity. I’m going to find out if there’s anything I can use for the development of science. It’s not too late to make a decision after that.”

***

The Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy came to Avio to meet Ryu Young-joon.

Secretary Yoo Song-mi served warm matte tea and fruit.

“It is an honor to meet CEO Ryu, the world’s most talked-about scientist.”

Minister Lee Yoon-ho reached out. Ryu Young-joon shook hands with him.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ryu Young-joon. Have a seat.”

Lee Yoon-ho was a pure-looking man with a round impression. He stared silently at Ryu Young-joon for a moment.

“Mr. Ryu. I know what you’re worried about as a national CTO.”

He said so.

“What am I worried about?”

“I think it’s two things. One is that you will not be able to research and develop directly while leaving Eisen and Avio, and the other is that this is a political maneuver related to the approval rating. Am I right?

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Everyone knows that Ryu fought with Rep. Shim Sung-yeol. So I predicted you’d be worried about that.”

Lee Yoon-ho burst into laughter.

“Really?”

“That’s why there are so many people in the political circle trying to make Ryu the face of science. If it weren’t for that, I would have been bothered by various political parties.”

“But this one doesn’t have anything to do with it?”

“To be honest, there is. The Republican government’s approval rating is down a lot now. Isn’t the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention trying to catch the spread of dengue in Jeju Island this time? I have an ulterior motive to create synergy and maintain power in the next presidential election.”

“Then I won’t be the head of the Strategic Planning Group.”

“I knew you would. So when I was told to recruit CEO Ryu, I said no at first.”

Lee Yoon-ho said.

“But Mr. Ryu. Come to think of it, it wasn’t. The more I think about it, there’s no one else who can take responsibility for the position unless it’s CEO Ryu. This is what the regime is doing right now. It’s not just a compliment.”

“There are people who will sit there besides me. There are many great scientists in our country.”

“There’s no creative scientist.”

Lee Yoon-ho cut it.

“The CTO at the national level is where it presents the direction keys to all research and development going on in this country. In short, it’s a position that requires insight into the ‘future industry’.”

“…….”

“Who is now changing the trend of medicine by pioneering a new field of stem cells and creating the next generation of hospitals? Is there anyone in Korea who has more insight into future industries than CEO Ryu?”

Lee Yun-ho spit from his mouth. Excited, he began to persuade passionately, shuffling his hands and feet.

“In less than a year, Mr. Ryu has managed to treat serious diseases such as glaucoma, Alzheimer’s and pancreatic cancer. One of them has been made into a product. Don’t lead a private enterprise like Eisen with that ability, but lead the country. I’m asking you to be more national. If CEO Ryu is the captain, all domestic companies will follow him.”

Lee Yoon-ho was serious.

“Ryu Young-joon’s recruitment is in the national interest.”

Ryu Young-joon can perform best in the first round of research, but he can do a bigger job when he is in charge of strategic planning.

Lee Yoon-ho was seriously thinking so.

“However, I understand that the position of the head of the strategic planning team is not such a position to conduct research freely. Can’t I just go in there and give orders to my subordinates as if I were to make some kind of medicine for SG Pharmaceuticals?”

“Get off!”

Lee Yoon-ho shouted coolly.

“What?”

Ryu Young-joon tilted his head as if he were embarrassed.

“It wasn’t a project, it was a project assignment. But it could be different if CEO Ryu does it. Just design the experiment as you do now and direct each company or university to work. We can take the form of consulting research.”

“…….”

“And we have a budget of 4 trillion won for the strategic planning team. Use some of them as research funds for Ryu’s own research.”

“That’s a tax. It’s okay to give it to universities or research institutes that I got from the project contest, but it’s embezzlement of public money if I spend it on whatever research I want to do.”

“No, I’m pushing for a new legislation. So that CEO Ryu can study it.”

“Well……”

Ryu Young-joon folded his arms and was lost in thought.

It’s a pretty unconventional suggestion.

I didn’t expect to recruit him at this rate.

I didn’t expect to recruit him at this rate.

Lee Yoon-ho was looking at Ryu with earnest and sincere eyes.

“CEO?”

Yoo Song-mi knocked on the door and came in.

“I’m sorry about the meeting, but I have something to show you.”

She came close to Ryu and whispered in his ear.

Ryu Young-joon opened an e-mail with his cell phone. The news sent by Yoo Song-mi came up.

It was a declaration by seven renowned scientists in the country in support of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s decision.

[Ryu Young-joon, CEO of Avio, has changed the trend of medicine in a very innovative and creative way, and is suggesting a new direction of research. If CEO Ryu works only in Avio, it will be limited to the pharmaceutical industry, but we think his potential can influence the entire industry of science in this country. If CEO Ryu takes charge of strategic planning and catches the assistants of science in Korea, I think many companies, universities, and research institutes can faithfully follow his instructions and produce more effective results. …….]

Ryu Young-joon quickly read the full text of the presentation.

The decision by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is considered very wise, and six other people, including Kim Hyun-taek, head of Azen’s first research institute, strongly support the appointment of CEO Ryu Young-joon as the head of the strategic planning team.]

***

“CEO Ryu Young-joon? He is the CEO of Avio, but he is also a director of Eisen. He is the closest person to our next technology director. Of course, it’s a waste. For us.”

Kim Hyun-taek said in an interview.

It attracted people’s attention because it seemed to have given way to the nation the best scientist in the same company.

Many reporters came to ask more about Kim Hyun-taek’s declaration of support.

Kim Hyun-taek accepted all the interviews.

“But let’s think more nationally. If we invite CEO Ryu as a technical director of Eisen, Eisen will develop rapidly. And? That’s it. It’s just that Eisen is growing. But if you go to the position of head of the strategic planning team, you can grow the pie of the country’s science community itself.”

Kim Hyun-taek said.

“Azen’s CTO could be handled by me or another research director. But CEO Ryu is a unique person. The world will develop faster when all people go to the right places for their abilities. I want Mr. Ryu to direct the science of the whole country. I’m introducing the company’s best talent to the government in the hope that private companies like Eisen will leave it to us and lead the country.”

Kim Hyun-taek’s interview resonated considerably.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has announced that it will guarantee Ryu’s research autonomy and link him to numerous industrial and university departments along with the final authority of the budget, which falls under Article 4.

The atmosphere in society heated up.

“That enormous genius is spent on the development of the nation, not on private companies.”‘

People began to naturally paint a future where Ryu Young-joon decided on the policy direction of national science and domestic companies and universities followed it.

And three days later.

A coalition of more than 100 university professors nationwide, led by Professor Ban Doo-il, issued an opposition statement.

Let the horse run in the meadow.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s idea is excellent but unrealistic. It is not because Ryu lacks the ability. Because of the structural limitations of the national industry. First, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said that Dr. Liu would be able to conduct research within the department, but what kind of research institute would he use? Will the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, which has only administrative staff, recruit new researchers? In the absence of any infrastructure, the irresponsible proposal is typically a Korean-style desk administration. Second, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said it would give Dr. Ryu a budget of 4 trillion won, but given the fact that SG Electronics’ one-year research budget is 13 trillion won and Eisen’s one-year research budget is 7 trillion won, I wonder if the amount is enough to realize Dr. Ryu’s capabilities. Third……]

The public opinion, which had been inflated by the dream of the national science industry led by Ryu Young-joon, has been set on fire.

Wow, what’s going on here?

So what are the environmental conditions for Ryu Young-joon to demonstrate his abilities 100 percent?

I’m a no-dab from Korean administration. I’m just in Avio, Dr. Ryu.

You’re leading the country’s science and technology, and of course, isn’t it more helpful than leading Eisen or Avio?

– That’s the way to give projects to private companies. Develop an anti-cancer drug. I’ll give you a billion won. It’s like this. But Dr. Ryu’s genius is not to pay, but to develop anti-cancer drugs.

Can’t you design and order research and development to companies like SG Pharmaceuticals and Eisen as you normally do? We’re going to turn companies nationwide into Ryu Young-joon’s hands and feet.

Does that make any sense? It is a violation of corporate management rights. It’s not a dictatorship, it’s a government that’s supposed to be illegal?

I don’t know. Dr. Liu’s just a genius and he’s short of one job.

Why can’t I see Professor Shin Jung-joo, a commentator dedicated to Avio these days? Come on out on the radio and interpret this situation for me.….

The social disturbance reached its peak.

Public opinion is completely divided. One media outlet also voted for and against Ryu Young-joon’s appointment as the head of the strategic planning team.

The approval margin is slightly higher at 61 per cent.

Kim Hyun-taek was a little relieved.

There are more scientists who oppose it than expected, but with this atmosphere, Ryu seems likely to accept it eventually.

He’s a national hero, so he won’t be able to disappoint people down easily. In fact, he can do well when he sits as the head of the strategic planning team.

From then on, it doesn’t matter if Kim Hyun-taek receives orders from Ryu Young-joon. Now I’m not a competitor, but a government figure who provides projects.

And with so many people’s attention focused on this issue.

Ryu Young-joon held a press conference.

“Hello, I’m Ryu Young-joon.”

He climbed onto the platform and grabbed the microphone.

Dozens of cameras shot Ryu Young-joon.

Dozens of cameras shot Ryu Young-joon.

“First of all, I would like to thank the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy for recommending me an important position.”

Ryu Young-joon said.

“I’ve discussed this with a lot of people. I also met Dr. Kim Si-yeon, who is in charge of strategic planning. He asked me to replace him because he has about half a year left in his term.”

Click! Click!

Camera flash went off one after another.

Ryu Young-joon said.

“I recommend Eisen’s current CTO for that important position.”

The reporters’ eyes were wide open.

In the office, Kim Hyun-taek screamed “Ugh!”

Ryu Young-joon said.

“The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said it would give me the authority to specifically direct industrial-academic research. But it risks the government’s infringement of industrial-academic research autonomy. And the practical utility is also diminished. Because it is also important to understand the experimenters’ major and proficiency in R&D instruction. I know well about Eisen’s scientists, but I don’t know much about other industries. It would only backfire for me to direct their research.”

“…….”

“But I know what the people expect from me. Therefore, when the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy asks for policy advice, I promise to respond. I swear to use my knowledge or ideas as a public good for this country.”

Ryu Young-joon said.

“Now let me tell you about Eisen’s CTO I recommended. CTO Nicholas Kim is the best scientist in the industry who has studied for 40 years and is familiar with physics as well as biology. I have experience in leading a bigger company than me, and I have experience in teaching. Even if I give you insufficient advice, I think he is a person who can bring it to life and develop the science of our country. Trust him as much as you’ve supported me.”

Ryu Young-joon added with a smile.

“And just in case you misunderstand, CTO Nicholas is Korean. My Korean name is Kim Hyun-sik.”
