Episode 51 – Mr. Miracle (2)
“So our naming code suggests a new brand name, JS Market, as the new name of U1 Shopping. In addition, JS Group as the name of the holding company, and each affiliate as JS Cosmetic, JS Paper, and JS Hotel… “
Jihyeok and Seoyeon almost simultaneously stopped the presentation with gestures.
“Ah… Mr. Jihyeok, talk to me first.”
“Hmm… are they really number one in the brand naming industry?”
“I’m a bit disappointed too. I didn’t want something ingenious, but…”
The name JS is derived from the first initials of Jihyeok and Seoyeon.
For the first time since Jihyeok came to Korea, he felt that he had done something called ‘waste’.
Jihyeok said.
“Stop further work and terminate the contract.”
“all right.”
When the naming code employees who were giving the presentation all left, Ji-hyeok slowly opened his mouth to the president.
“The new mission will be DM Group. DM is dynamic movement. DM Hotel, DM Cosmetic, DM Paper. Well, it’s not a great name, but since our group is focused on dynamic growth, we’ll set it as an intuitive mission. Initials In line with this, we will change the brand name of the open market to dynamic market.”
Daniel said with a big smile.
“I’ll start working on CI right away. But isn’t this enough to give me royalties? hahahaha.”
Jihyeok expressed his will to expand the group one step further and very explosively and dynamically under the name of dynamic movement, but somehow it seemed to follow Daniel’s naming vertical movement.
“If you don’t have anything else to report, you can go back to your company. Mr. Connor, please give us a briefing on the group’s financial situation before the afternoon meeting.”
“Yes, advisor.”
At that time, CEO Seong-Jun Bae, who had been appointed as the CEO of Cosmetics, raised his hand and said.
“Counselor, I have something else to report to you.”
“Yes. Come to my office in a little while.”
*
Jihyeok’s office was prepared in a moderately minimalistic state, not particularly flashy, as he intended.
Around the time I was about to finish a cup of coffee with Seoyeon, who followed me like a chewing gum, CEO Bae Seong-joon came in.
“Okay, what do you have to report? If it’s a company thing, I’ll have to discuss it with the CEO of Connor…”
“Counselor, I came here because of the Baekje Hotel amenity delivery case I mentioned.”
Jihyeok tilted his head.
“Is there a problem? I know that the Baekje Hotel proposed it first.”
“The amenity delivery is proceeding without a hitch. The head office has already replaced the amenity with ours, and from next week, delivery to the Baekje Hotel branches across the country will begin.”
“I see. Then what’s the matter?”
“That’s it… Large-scale orders came in from the Baekje Hotel and Ilsung Group’s distribution side… It’s because I think the advisor should know.”
In the first place, since the delivery of amenities was made through Ji-hyeok’s personal connections, I thought that Ji-hyeok would have been involved in the additional order.
“If large, how much?”
“10,000 gift sets including all new product lineups, 300,000 sampler and mask pack gift sets.”
It was Seoyeon who was surprised before Jihyeok.
“300,000 outline?”
“Yes. First of all, we are coordinating the amount of discount because there are so many, but it doesn’t seem like they want a discount… .”
It was a huge amount of orders, but Jihyeok had a somewhat displeased expression.
“Please refuse.”
CEO Bae Seong-jun’s expression was colored with embarrassment.
What I wanted to ask Jihyeok in the first place was whether a discount should be given, and if so, to what extent, I was told to give up all the huge amount of orders.
“Go···Advisor, the order amount is over 50 billion. There was even talk of signing a fixed supply contract if the response from the executives and employees is good…”
Before Jihyeok could reply, Seoyeon opened her mouth first.
“From my point of view, it would be better to refuse it.”
“Yes? Even the head of the headquarters…”
Jihyeok said.
“President Seong-Jun Bae, you did well to come to me before signing the order contract. However, from a marketing perspective, this is a contract that should never be done. “
“But it’s a situation where they don’t ask for a discount at all…”
“We’re not going to put a price tag on a gift set, and even if we put it on, who would believe that it would be the full price? More importantly, it’s hard to supply that amount from Shinsung C&L right now.”
“Ah… is it because of the supply of mulberry trees? We are also looking for a domestic supplier for that part. There was a company that would supply it if the price was slightly raised.”
Jihyeok shook his head and said.
“It’s not a problem that can be solved by peeing on your feet like that. Raw materials are not enough to supply only hotel amenities, but if sales explode after the official launch, it will definitely become a problem. You need to find a stable and inexpensive supply method. In cosmetics, All you have to do is prepare a showcase for new products. After listening to Seoyeon, I heard that it is very popular among influencers.”
“That’s right, people who have been to Baekje Hotel have also reported that the number of mentions of amenities in their reviews has increased.”
Jihyeok said.
“President Seong-jun Bae, focus all your capabilities on the high-end strategy.
“I will follow your orders.”

“Phew, Mr. Jihyeok. Tell me now. How lucky is manager Lee Beomyoung?”
Seoyeon’s heart fluttered when she was told that she was a talented person who would grow the company tenfold.
“Um…. If the Saju is accurate, it is a person with a strong anti-massage against the Saju of the Heavenly Demon.”
“Are you a heavenly noble?”
“What are you so surprised about? Didn’t you tell me when I met Seoyeon for the second time?
“ah······.”
“There are surprisingly many people who were born under the fortune of a noble or a noble nobleman.”
“Then what part is special?”
“Manager Lee Beom-young is destined to achieve great wealth and fame because he does not go public and has even included reverse magic in the sand.”
Seoyeon tilted her head and said.
“Even though Manager Beomyoung Lee has an unusual academic background, he did not leave such an impressive career in this industry…”
From noble mtl dot com.
“It would have been. In fact, if manager Lee Beom-young’s boss had even had a monster, he would have been destined to become a dragon. What would happen if a person with such a personality and helpers embraced the oddity of being destined to become the leader?”
“Uh… that must be amazing.”
“As far as I know, the only people who have such an owner are the late Mirae Group founders and Ilsung Group founders.”
Jihyeok took a sip of coffee and spoke again.
“Ironically, the reason manager Lee Beom-young has a mediocre career compared to his boss is because of the nobleman’s master.”
Seoyeon perked up her ears at Jihyeok’s words, recalling that she was also born with the fortune of a nobleman.
“In the first place, it’s easy to be overly optimistic because you’re going to be able to live smoothly without any major adversity in life, and you can easily get promoted and achieve moderate wealth, so it’s not easy to set a particularly great goal. Wasn’t Seoyeon like that too?”
“I guess that’s what I heard.”
“Seoyeon would have had a less boring life because she was greedy. But Lee Beomyoung is different. Her life is just okay. He was born into a good family without any adversity, had a good academic background, and had a good job. That is until now.”
Seoyeon tilted her head again and asked.
“You mean it’s different from now on?”
“Because he is a person whose great luck for 10 years will act as a bad person, all sorts of bad luck will come.”
“Yes?
“Depending on the person, great luck means facing a great upheaval, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it flows in an auspicious direction. There’s no way things are going in a good direction.”
“A company owner… isn’t just a simple thing. Then what do you mean by a person who will grow our company tenfold?”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“Didn’t you say you were a noble?”
Since Lee Beom-young met himself, this was also the story of the heavenly nobleman meeting his helper.
“ah······.”
“If you solve the Four Lords Retrograde, you will be able to become an ascending dragon.”

a few hours later,
“The hotel manager’s job will go to someone else.”
Manager Lee Bum-young, who looked relaxed as if he had just come out for a drink even with the group owner in front of him, quietly nodded his head without showing any sign of disappointment.
“Then, can I just go?”
“I have a few more questions to ask. You’ve been on a lot of training here and there. How well do you speak foreign languages?”
“I am fluent in English, Chinese and Japanese, and I can only communicate lightly in Spanish and French.”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“I’m glad you’ve lived a more intense life than I thought.”
“As a hotelier, foreign languages are essential, so I learned them in my spare time. Then, can I go back to the hotel?”
“Manager Lee Beom-young, I’m sorry, but you have to stop going to the hotel.”
Manager Lee Beom-young, who had been calm all along, finally frowned a little.
“I thought it was a CEO interview, but it turned out to be a dismissal interview. Whoa…”
“hahahaha, that’s not it. Rotation at the group level? No, a job change would be more appropriate.”
“Yes? Where are you talking to?”
“First of all, we plan to establish an overseas business department under the sales support team here, but I think you can take over as the head of the overseas business department. Ultimately, I plan to appoint him as the head of a new corporation in the desired region.”
Lee Bum-young touched his chin and seemed to be thinking for a while, but then he gave an answer.
“I appreciate the offer, but it doesn’t seem like the right thing for me.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“I majored in business marketing, but I’ve only worked in hotel jobs for nearly 20 years. Judging from what you’re saying, you seem to be planning on entrusting everything from business direction to building a new business to me, but I don’t particularly enjoy that kind of adventure.”
“As expected…that’s right. Then how about this? First of all, go to work here for three months and work as the group leader of the overseas business department. You don’t have to do anything. Instead, whatever you do, the group will spare no support. Let’s fly and have fun. You can go and do whatever you like. If you don’t change your mind after three months, I’ll return you to the hotel where you worked.”
Manager Lee Beom-yeong was so out of the blue that he was afraid to reject the offer again, but he had no choice but to accept it after hearing Ji-hyeok’s next words.
“You can think of it as an extended vacation. Your salary will be exactly double your current salary.”
“Yeah, I’ll do that.”
“However, there is a condition. There are employees that I have already assigned to the overseas business department. They will follow group leader Lee Beom-young 24 hours a day. You can think of them as assistants and bodyguards and ask for anything you want. Of course, additional human resources You can take as many as you want if you need to.”
Manager Lee Beom-young felt uncertain about something, but because of his naturally optimistic personality, he accepted the terms without any objection.
“All right.”
“Yes. When you leave, the department members will be waiting for you. Say hello…”
Jihyeok let out a small cough and said.
“Those…they may look a bit rough, but they’re not bad people, so don’t be too nervous.”
