Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 266
The former name of Koryo Air was Chosun Minhang (朝鮮民航 CAAK).
After the establishment of the Kim Jung-hwan system in 1988 and the reform and opening up, the name was changed as one of the first state-owned companies to be privatized. .
In the 15 years since privatization, Koryo Air has grown into one of the logistics hubs in Korea, China, and even Northeast Asia as North Korea achieved economic growth, and at the same time monopolized the skyrocketing air demand, and quickly grew into a major airline in Asia.
However, due to these circumstances, the party, to be more precise, the state-run fund Peony Holdings held a considerable amount of stake to this day. was dissatisfied
To be more precise, the current founder and chairman of Koryo Air is a military officer from the Korean People’s Army Air Force. He built the current Koryo Airline through his personal connections during the military years, so he was a person who had the greatest loyalty to the party and general secretary more than anyone else, but he grew up unaware of hardship. The second generation was a different story.
For example, Lim Hyun-ah, vice president of Koryo Air, the daughter of the current vice president under her father, who is the chairman of Koryo Air, was one such second generation.
– I think we can do better if we leave it to us… … .
Similar to the second generation of chaebols in South Korea below, Koryo Airlines was a company that grew up with plenty of benefits from the state and party policies.
Why are you forcing a discount to be given to military personnel or children of a different age when reserving seats?
Why can’t we reduce the budget for costly aircraft safety inspections or crew training or outsource them? That’s all for cost reduction and competitiveness enhancement in the 21st century.
This company belongs to them, the Lim family, and is a private property, so there is no freedom to pursue personal interests.
It is not that this is still the era of Kim Jong-il.
However, on the day these complaints enter the ears of Koryo Air’s major shareholder, Peony Holdings, CEO Choi Seung-il, and the general secretary who reigns above them, their necks will not be safe, so these complaints always hover beneath the surface of the water, and cannot be expressed outside.
But now these days have passed.
The day has finally come when the sun is shining on their private companies.
“Ho-ho, well, these days come all because of life. Thanks to some Chinese people, our family has been able to live comfortably.”
“Vice President Lim. Do you have anything good to do? You have a very sweet expression.”
“Your things are nothing to worry about, so close your mouth and serve well. Wherever in-flight workers follow the executives’ tasks… … .”
When the first-class flight attendant (stewardess) cautiously asked Lim Hyun-ah, who was smiling because she liked it, Lim did not laugh and shot him coldly.
He was nervous because it seemed that his subordinates had revealed his true intentions as an executive.
The flight attendant, hearing Lim Hyun-ah’s face, quickly hardened her expression and shut her mouth.

Not only that, but the other workers who served her in the first class also became contemplative and hurriedly turned their gaze elsewhere.Lim Hyun-ah had a secret nickname of ‘Koryo Air Security Officer’ because of her self-righteous and arrogant personality even in the company, and because she was arrogant and bullied the workers, regardless of whether they had a flight attendant or a ground position.
However, Lim Hyun-ah’s head was full of other thoughts as she looked down at the workers crouching more politely than before because of her criticism.
‘Now, if the negotiations between Abadi and Peony Holdings President Choi Seung-il go well, Koryo Airways will completely liquidate its stake relationship with the party and become our own, no, Rim’s. Then, we cut out the manpower we don’t need right away and increase the number of non-regular workers… … .’
That was the cause of Lim Hyun-ah’s smirk from before.
In the wake of the Chinese financial crisis last year, there was a lot of movement within the party, centered on the banks of the Thames, such as businessmen and economic bureaucrats, to get rid of the government-run economy and to further guarantee the autonomy of private companies.
And since the dear General Secretary was also moved by the advice of these workers, Peony Holdings, which had been interfering with the management by holding a certain amount of stake in most of the large corporations in the republic for some time, began to liquidate the stake relationship with the companies. did.
In other words, the wind of partial privatization is blowing in the republic at the moment.
Of course, Koryo Air, where Lim Hyun-ah is serving as vice president, also received a message saying, ‘Now, the party will gradually withdraw from management and respect the autonomy of the management, so concentrate on improving service quality and profitability.’
Although President Choi Seung-il is still stubborn, most of the executives of Peony Holdings, except for him, have an attitude that they do not want to worry about paying dividends on time. .
‘That’s the right word. Seriously, what did those politicians know about running a business? Our family, the Rim family, developed the thatched-roofed Koryo Airline, which had several routes to neighboring countries such as Russia, into the palace it is today. It’s only natural for me, no, we should exercise full power over management! Let’s see, now that the sugar has been roasted and boiled, the problem is getting rid of our older brother… … How do you persuade other shareholders? … .’
“yes?”
Lim Hyun-ah, who had been distracted by the conflict over management rights, suddenly came to her senses and fixed her gaze on the small tray in front of her.
On the tray was a bag of macadamia peanuts, a kettle served to passengers to appease the boredom of a long flight.
without the bag being opened.
And at that moment, her eyebrows soared upward.
“Yah! Come here!”
“yes? yes! Oh, I got it, Vice President Lim Dong… … No, Vice President Lim. whatever is wrong… … .”
“What’s wrong??? You don’t know what’s wrong even when you see this right now!!!?!?!?!”
In the next moment, Hyuna Lim’s hysterical high-tone voice reverberated throughout the first class.
His voice was so ferocious and sharp that even some passengers, who had just been blindfolded and snoring in preparation for takeoff, were awakened from their sleep in surprise.
Hearing Hyuna Lim’s maddening rebuke right in front of the other passengers, the stewardess’ faces turned blue in an instant.
“Vice, Vice President. What caused the fever to spread like this? … If you tell us what is wrong, we will correct it right away… … .”
“What, correction? Did you say correction!?!?!?!? here! Open your eyes and look right! These peanuts!”
“Yes, yes!”
“I was taught to open a bag and serve it to customers, I didn’t! what are you how! With this rotten service spirit, can you do this proud Koryo Air first class flight attendant, you are gone!!!!?!!”
“Bong, are you talking about bags? But obviously the service manual says it’s right to give like this… … .”
The stewardess responded to Lim Hyun-ah, who was suddenly angry like a volcanic eruption by pointing her finger at the peanut tray, but unfortunately the other person was not in a state where reason and rationality worked.
In fact, it wasn’t really in this state, but Lim Hyun-ah was a person who was far from being rational with the opposite sex even in normal times.
“… … !!!?!?! Now this is where the worm ate the goal, where are you talking, talking back! I’m the Vice President, Vice President! Are the first class flight attendants talking to the customer or the vice president right now? you! get off! Get off this plane! Call the captain right now! Right Now!! Tell me to stop this plane!”
“Vice, Vice President. This plane has already started preparing for takeoff. To stop the plane now is a violation of local or shipbuilding or aviation laws. What we did wrong is that we will criticize ourselves when we arrive at our destination, so please fix it first… … .”
“Gooing??? Aaah!!!! really! I! now! It looks solid! Aww!!?!?! hey! What are you? uh? Call your boss! Call the person in charge above you right now!!?!?!”

Now, not only all the passengers in first class, but also the flight attendants preparing for takeoff from the other seats were running and watching Lim’s frenzy with frozen eyes.Lim Hyeon-ah, who had been running wild in her place, started to tap the flight attendants who were bowing their heads as if she couldn’t beat her.
“hey! Boss, call your boss! I can’t hear people! Call the captain or anyone to stop the plane! Otherwise I’ll throw you all out the window of this plane… … .”
“… … I’m sorry to say, but there’s a female comrade. I don’t know what’s going on, but wouldn’t it be good to communicate well in words?”
“… … !?!?”
At the voice that suddenly intervened behind her back, Lim Hyeon-ah had her eyes hooked and turned her head quickly.
There, an elderly woman with gray hair and finely dressed in traditional Korean clothes (hanbok) was looking anxiously at her and the stewardess.
Behind the old woman, who appeared to be about seventy years old, but somehow dignified, there were two men in suits that looked like bodyguards, looking at her and Lim Hyun-ah alternately with a look of disappointment.
“What are you!!!!”
“you… … you… … ? Whoa… … This comrade is so… … .”
The white-haired woman was stunned for a while, as if she was speechless, who was speechless by Lim Hyeon-ah, who gave her mother-in-law without any hesitation.
“I don’t want to interfere in other people’s affairs, but I can’t see one or two eyes here, so it’s because I’m not in a good shape right now. Hearing it, you seem like the superiors of those comrades, but if you are a leader, you don’t know if you have to act seriously in accordance with that level, don’t you?”
“What, what… … !?!?”
“… … Besides, this grandmother doesn’t know much about flying machines, but she knows well that what her comrade is doing now is against the laws of the Republic. Besides, if the plane that is about to move is stopped at the words of a comrade, all of the guests riding here will be late for the schedule. I don’t know why the geese got so horned, but first… … .”
“What the hell are you doing?!?!?! uh! You know me? Who are you? … .”
“Since then, I have eaten at least the size of a rat’s tail as the chairman of the Women’s League in the party, and my son also works in the party, so I couldn’t sit still. I want you to realize that your actions now can be seen as a shame not only for this airline, but also for the entire people of our Republic.”
“What… … ? Chairman of the Women’s League? Where, who is not even a horse bone, but now the chairman of the Women’s League… … You motherfucker, you know who I am now… … .”
“comrade! Comrade Chairman Kim! We’ve solved this here, so please sit down and wait. Me, over there, Mr. Lim’s boss… … Take a moment to negotiate with us… … .”
As Lim Hyun-ah, who had passed the limit of her patience, was about to put her hand on the white-haired woman, men in suits who were watching the situation from behind rushed into her.
They had been watching all these situations with a disappointed expression until now, but when Lim Hyun-ah seemed to inflict physical harm on an unidentified elderly woman, only then did she move like a gust of wind and stop her.
Should I side with Lim or keep watching? The other stewardess stopped and immediately blocked by the men, Lim opened her eyes, but what the hell are the men doing? didn’t budge
Ignoring Lim Hyun-ah’s kick as if it didn’t even itch as if it didn’t itch, they lowered their body and spoke in a still polite but low-key tone so only her could hear her.
“Comrade Vice President Lim… … there… … Do you know who your comrade is pointing at right now?”
“I don’t know!!! What!”
“… … Pay attention to your words and actions. This is what I’m saying because I’m worried about the future of comrade Da Rim, vice president… … .”
“hey! what the hell are you Do you really know what I’m doing? Do you know what our Abaddy is doing? Our Abaddy is the founder of Koryo Air Group, the founder! Koryo Air Chairman Lim Jung-chun!!!! You guys are the kind of person who can send Samsugapsan Mountain with a single word! It’s a creeper, so don’t move away right now! uh! I want to die!!?!?!?”
“… … I’m sure you don’t know, but I’m afraid.”
“… … I’m sure the words won’t work. You have to be quiet, but this is giving me a headache. Please contact my home country.”
The two men let out a small sigh and looked at each other’s faces, then turned their heads back to Hyuna Lim, who was still running wild.
Their eyes as they looked at her, who couldn’t resist her anger and her face turned red and stomped on her feet, were those of those who looked at the neighborhood dog who didn’t know how to die and touched the fur of the tiger’s nose.
Even so, it is a fact only they know on this plane, but the woman in her seventies who almost spit on Lim just before was Comrade Kim Myung-ae, the birth mother of Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan, the esteemed supreme leader, the supreme dignity of the Republic. .
