“okay. It’s coming back!”
“If we come together, the rest of our competitors are traders coming from China and Southeast Asia.
In addition to the overwhelming cost-effectiveness of Skeleton, considering the logistics cost of bringing it to Korea, Chinese-made shoes, which have dominated Korea’s domestic market with price as a weapon, are not competitors of Ceron-made shoes.
“This is unconditional.”
“When I think about what I’ve been through, really….”
The members of the association are talking about various things in anticipation.
But there were only people sitting there with poopy expressions on their faces.
It was Yoo Yong-oh and the executives of the three major shoe companies who attended after hearing about the skeleton rental.
Then Yoo Yong-oh raised his hand and said.
“First of all, I listened to the representative. As the president of the association, I would like to thank you for giving us a valuable opportunity to bring back the lost domestic market.”
Still can’t admit impeachment?
Well, I don’t care.
“By the way, you have always emphasized the domestic market, so what about the export side?”
I looked at it and thought, smiling.
‘Are those three companies behind the scenes?’
It was natural for the representatives of the three companies to have a bad expression.
The conditions I put forward are limited to domestic only, and are necessary only for small companies here, because they have nothing to do with the three companies that have factories abroad and are doing OEM export business.
But it makes no sense for the president of the association to act like that.
Because the president of the association, like other association members, was also a person who ran a small factory in Korea.
In other words, although the impeachment show may be unpleasant, the president of the association is also a welcome proposal with both hands up.
But are you referring to exports that have nothing to do with you?
‘I was embarrassed.’
In the midst of a sudden impeachment of the president of the association, the president of the association and the three major manufacturers showed such an emptiness in a hurry as the scenario went the opposite of the scenario they had envisioned.
“Isn’t it a long time since the export of Korean shoes was blocked anyway?”
“Not all are like that. Among the companies of the association, there are definitely some companies that focus on export.”
I interrupted Yoo Yong-oh and said.
“ah. Those, companies with factories abroad? Isn’t that what I know?”
“Yes?!”
I said with a smirk.
“The skeleton interlocking system mentioned earlier is only applicable to domestic factories and domestically employed employees. Overseas factories and overseas workers are no count.”
There’s no way anyone can do anything good for you who tried to fuck me, right?
“And I can order export products myself, but do I need to hire another factory? Ceron is a company that only exports 100%. By the way, do you lend labor while taking care of the situation at overseas factories? It’s not win-win, it’s eating my flesh, so why am I? You’re not going to give me supplies like the makers do, are you?”
Yoo Yong-oh said with a bewildered expression.
“Well, it is true that the factory is overseas, but the head office is in Korea.”
“Ahh.”
I said waving my hands.
“How do you cater to everyone’s taste? everyone!”
At my words, all the members of the association look at me.
“Are you satisfied with my conditions?”
Then the members of the association cheered and shouted.
“of course!”
“Very satisfied!”
I shrugged and said.
“Most of them were satisfied. So it didn’t happen? Or what, you have some other conspiracy?”
Yoo Yong-oh gritted his teeth and said.
“CEO Han Ji-hyuk…….”
I ignored Yoo Yong-oh and shouted at the members of the association.
“ruler! Today’s business is over with this one! Move quickly! From now on, Korea is a land of opportunity for you!”

Director Kim of the Yooyoung group said while looking at the safety boots.
“Isn’t this the same as last year’s bid?”
Then, CEO Yoon, a classmate of Manager Kim, who runs a shoe factory, said with a confident expression.
“right. Did you admit it too? The quality is good.”
“okay. It did.”

Manager Kim took a deep breath and said.
“ha. But to be honest, seniors don’t really care about quality. Do you think the reason for buying work shoes in the first place is really for the safety of workers?”
President Yoon said with a surprised expression at the first honest words he had ever heard.
“no?”
“It’s naive. It’s not that the government is going to tackle it with safety, so we care about the safety of our workers like this, and we live to show. That means it doesn’t matter what the safety screen is with KCS safety certification. So what’s left? It’s the price, the price.”
“price······.”
“Are you and I friends for a day or two? I also want to make it your company’s, if at all possible. But the price difference is not a penny or two. Last year, the bid price for a Chinese-made pair was 50,000 won. But what was your bid?”
President Yoon said, biting his lip.
“It was over 70,000….”
“right. We bid for 5,000 pairs at a time, and then the price difference alone exceeds 100 million. If there is a price difference, it will be subject to internal audit.”
Then, after being silent for a while, CEO Yoon said.
“Don’t worry, this time the moon…”
However, after cutting off President Yoon’s words, Manager Kim said.
“Let’s stop. How is the quality every time, and safety boots take a long time to work, so 60,000 won is impossible, excluding labor costs. That’s what I’ve heard every time. I feel sorry and frustrated that I always say things like this to you. Do you really have to make me sound like this?”

Manager Kim said with a bitter expression.
“…I don’t want to do this either, but the reality is. In capitalism, if price competitiveness falls, eventually you will be eliminated. It’s not just for you, but for our company as well. Did you know that our company continues to increase overseas subsidiaries? It’s all because of the labor cost.”
Then, President Yoon hurriedly said:
“No, listen to me for a second.”
“Let’s stop! Am I sorry for telling you this too?”
“Hey, you bastard!”
President Yoon said in a loud voice.
“Listen to the end of what people say! I’m arguing for nothing.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Last year 50,000? Can I match that price?”
“···What?”

Manager Kim said with a surprised expression.
“Are you going to fit it?”
“Yeah, I’ll fix it. Or would it be a thousand won lower than that?”
President Yoon’s sudden deal, who only said that it was not possible at that price.

Manager Kim, who had always refused, smiled brightly at President Yoon’s words.
“hey! Then, make sure it’s yours!”
“okay?”
“Of course! If it’s the same price, isn’t it made in Korea? oh this bastard If you could do it, do it sooner!”
President Yoon said with a confident expression.
“I plan to keep this price level going forward, so be prepared. Your swimming group safety boots are all mine now.”
“But what? Why did your attitude change all of a sudden? No, is it really worth that price? Does that make sense?”
President Yoon said with a smirk.
“There is such a thing. It looks like we have a strong side. Hey, any other bids by the way? I can give you some pocket money.”
“Similar price?”
“Similar price.”

Manager Kim said with bright eyes.
“okay? wait. I will check with the subcontractors here and there.”
*
Korean shoe factories, who have been driven into a corner, continue to reclaim the domestic market that they had lost by mobilizing all the contacts they had built up as if to relieve their resentment.
“I’m going to add a steel plate to the front of this one first.”
The basis of their counterattack is Seron’s skeletons.
And thanks to their efforts, Seron’s order volume went up even more.
Naturally, as the number of spells increased, I was able to increase the skeleton more quickly.
furthermore.
“Come on, wait! It’s different from regular shoes, so you shouldn’t do that!”
The programmer sweated profusely at the words of the president.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a special shoe.”
“The demand for special shoes is at least a good margin… No, this is not important. First of all, this is a triple structure…”
Their skills that they have accumulated for competition are injected into Ceron through the skeleton.
I said with a smirk.
“This is it.”
While saving the Korean shoe market, which is suffering from cardiac arrest, at the same time, I gain skills and earn money.
What could be a more perfect win-win situation when even employees are still employed?
“Sir, the skeleton is saturated.”
I said with a surprised expression at Kim Deok-bae’s words.
“Already?”
It’s only been 4 days since I added 500?
“With the sudden increase in domestic demand… Besides, there are so many varieties of hado, and there is a growing shortage of programmers.”
“Then why not increase it? I will take care of the skeleton, so I hire more programmers.”
Anyway, Seron continues to grow.
Then what is there to be hesitant about?
not enough? Then stop filling it.
I said with a satisfied look.
“Now, how will Yoo Yong-oh and them come out?”
The association I had put in the forefront could not completely fall into my grasp, and it almost became a subordinate level, with no results obtained.
Kim Deok-bae said, wriggling his lips as if he was happy.
“What can they do? The reason I put the association first in the first place was because there was no way to deal with it properly.”
“Yes?”
So now it’s time to finish.
“By the way, President Kim, is it right to call them Korean companies? All of our association members keep hiring domestic employees, and I am mutually supportive as a skeleton, but they gave up all their bases in Korea and went abroad.”
Of course, I have no intention of doing anything about it.
It is natural for companies to want to maximize their margins by producing cheap products with low labor costs.
But I can’t take it for what bothered me.
Rather, the story might have been different if he had asked for help from the very beginning.
Because I work really hard to look like a good person.
Even if you don’t lend the skeleton, making the shoes subcontracted by the three companies into a subcontracted structure that Ceron subcontracts again is one way to coexist with them.
Whether I receive an order directly from the maker or a subcontract, it doesn’t really matter if I can get the same margin of 1,500 won.
If that happened, the situation would probably be much better for the three companies than they are now, and perhaps they would have become a spearhead in charge of overseas maker sales as a partner of Ceron.
“I don’t think the company is suitable for a shoe association that has achieved great unity and coexistence like us. It’s the Korean Shoes Association. Not another country, but Korea.”
But they decided that there would be no compromise with Seron, and they tried to pressure me with the association.
Of course, all assumptions like subcontractors’ subcontracting are meaningless at the point in time when they plotted with me.
oh
Of course, I still don’t know if it’s all three companies or one of them, but anyway.
I guess I’m lucky though.
If it was Seron, it would never have gone this far.
So, let’s just do business like that, and then slowly lose everything to Seron and collapse.
After all, the orders you received will naturally become ours as Seron grows.
Kim Deok-bae nodded and said.
“understand. We will hold a general meeting soon and formally post the agenda.”
“good job.”
Now, if I only pick three companies, the Korean shoe industry and association will be completely mine.
No one can point a finger at me and I’m busy looking at me, a perfect subordinate.
I said with a relaxed expression.
“We have a lot of work to do. So, let’s clean it up quickly and do what we have to do.”
