“hello. This is the Jeonbuk Ilbo reporter Kim.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Then we will proceed with the interview. Recently, the site of Seeway was selected as Jeonju. What is the reason?”
“First of all, I want to say that I only recommend the site to Seeway, but I do not select the site myself.”
Of course, of course it’s bullshit.
In the first place, I didn’t want to create a joint venture, so I devised the collaborative company system, so in fact, I and Seeway have a partnership.
In addition, without a skeleton, the factory could not run in the first place, so my right to speak was absolute when it came to site selection.
To put it simply, if I don’t want to place a skeleton there and insist that I like it there, it’s okay.
Nevertheless, the reason I said I was only recommending was to show that I did not actively intervene.
Naturally, this was what Yun Ho-chang told me that it would be good to say this.
“Jeonju is the city with the most human infrastructure in Jeonbuk. However, there are no large corporations around, so young people continue to flow out into the metropolitan area. At this time, I recommended it because I thought that there would be a great synergy effect if a factory of a large foreign company came in.”
“Is it just that? They argued that it was too strange for the current governor, Dae-oh Kim, to be confirmed as a site within a week of the campaign, and that he had already selected the site at the seron and informed Candidate Ho-chang Yun.”
I said with a puzzled look.
“Did I pre-select and let you know? Why am I doing that?”
“They say it was to help Candidate Ho-Chang Yun.”
“So why am I, I am a person who has nothing to do with politics. Of course, there is a relationship with Candidate Ho-Chang Yun, but that’s because Ceron was in Gunsan-si for work, and there is no personal relationship at all. but······.”
“but?”
“It is true that Candidate Ho-Chang Yun came every evening and explained endlessly why Seeway was suitable for Jeonju, affecting the site selection. It actually went well.”
“Then why did you announce it after a week? So there was a controversy about political intervention.”
“I am an Awakened but before that I am a businessman. If you find a good site, you need to build a factory as soon as possible to grow your business. So I announced the site without much thought, but I had no idea that this would turn into a political intervention. So, from now on, I plan to postpone the announcement of the site of a foreign conglomerate until after the primary election.”
The reporter said with a surprised expression.
“Are you saying that there are other foreign conglomerates besides Seeway?”
“There is. It will be announced soon, and there are some things we are talking about right now.”
It is true that Ho-Chang Yun persuaded him, but he said that my decision had nothing to do with political intentions, and in the meantime, secretly leaked that there might be more similar situations in the future.
Also, the purpose of this interview is to make it easier for Yun Ho-chang to move by saying that he will announce the site only after the election.
With this, Yun Ho-chang’s ability was verified, and at the same time, he was able to make too many promises in the future.
“ah. And make sure to emphasize this when writing articles. I do not support any particular candidate or political party, only considering business feasibility.”
In the first place, only candidates for sites with business feasibility were selected and handed over to Ho-Chang Yun.
“All right.”
“So, is this the end of the interview?”
“ah. Can I ask you another question at the same time?”
Service today, okay.
“You do.”
“Recently, the production of rare earths from the development of Ceron has increased, and together with Japan, it has achieved a global market share of 6%…….”
*
As the interview goes out, Yun Ho-chang’s approval ratings start to rise.
That’s right, Yun Ho-chang really succeeded in convincing me, and new foreign conglomerates keep coming in the future. I have a mind to do it.
Naturally, Ho-Chang Yun began to actively use it.
Yun Ho-chang, who traveled all over Jeollabuk-do, used his promise to attract large corporations to continuously raise his approval ratings.
When the situation turned like this, Dae-oh Kim must have been embarrassed.
“Chairman Han, aren’t you really pushing Yun Ho-chang?”
How come you come to me like this?
“No. When did you see me befriend a politician?”
“Then why…”
“For some reason, I can only announce the site of Seeway, but I just did it without thinking.”
“ね!”
But that one would be fatal.
Actually, thanks to Yun Ho-chang’s words come true, people are starting to have expectations for his promise.
It is a tremendous power for a politician to have expectations in his words.
“I didn’t know it would turn out like this. Instead, it was revealed in the interview, but we will postpone the announcement of the site until after the primary election.”
“If you are really unrelated, can I ask for a little help?”
“What is your request?”
“Could it be possible to select a site for Seeway and change it?”
Will it damage Yun Ho-chang’s credibility?
I’m sorry, but that doesn’t work.
“Are you going to reverse the announcement?”
“Instead, if I am elected again as the governor, I will actively cooperate with Seron to create a special trade zone where foreign companies can do business comfortably.”
Even if it doesn’t, if Ho-Chang Yun is elected, that’s what he was trying to make using the governor’s city planning rights.
If what… If I really had no idea and had nothing to do with Yun Ho-chang, it wouldn’t be a bad idea, but it’s an acceptable proposal, isn’t it?
I shook my head and said.
“sorry. Although it was selected by Seeway, it was our seron that was officially announced, and overturning this will adversely affect the credibility of our group.”
“I understand. But please.”
Dae-oh Kim said, grinding his teeth.
“It doesn’t matter if I lose to the ruling party candidate in the general election. It’s a matter of the party’s approval rating. However, if I lose to a newcomer like Yun Ho-chang in the intra-party primary that determines the candidates to be released from the party, the foundation that I have built in the past may be shaken.”
When it comes to being a governor, most of them are national emergency politicians who have a lot of voice and power in the party.
However, this national emergency politician loses to a newcomer Ho-Chang Yun, who has only served once as mayor and once as a city council member in the election of candidates within the party, not with the rival party?
This is a shocking event that goes beyond the level of humiliation and may destroy the foundation that the party has built in the past.
After all, politicians make a living out of popularity, but no one believes and follows a politician who has lost popularity.
“Please, Chairman Han.”
“Well······.”
I pretended to think for a moment and said.
“sorry. No matter how much I think about it, it can’t be. Wouldn’t that cause another controversy over political intervention? Is Seron doing business under the influence of politics? I don’t want to hear this.”
However, it also means that if a newcomer Ho-chang Yun defeats Dae-oh Kim, a national paramedic, and becomes the governor, he will become a rising dark horse at once.
And that’s exactly what I want.
So, if Yun Ho-chang is my word, it won’t be easy.
Because I am the one who creates and maintains Yun Ho-Chang’s political foundation.
“Chairman Han!”
I said waving my hand.
“I don’t want to get involved in real politics. How difficult it was when I was selecting the site this time, but Governor Dae-oh Kim raised suspicions. So I just don’t want to get involved.”
“That’s what I’m sorry about. But then, shouldn’t Chairman Han not listen to Yun Ho-chang in the first place?”
“You say that you heard it again. Then, as Governor Dae-oh Kim has been making papers at the thesis level on why Candidate Ho-chang Yun should attract Seeway to Jeonju, please find out the reason why Seeway shouldn’t be in Jeonju. I am a businessman, so if there is a good reason, I will withdraw it.”
Of course, of course, there is no such thesis-level document.
In the end, Dae-oh Kim got up from his seat.
“Let’s go.”
“yes. Be careful.”
Dae-oh Kim, who returned without success.
“Politicians are also ephemerals.”
It is famous and prosperous, and sometimes it goes down, or suddenly it becomes a lightning star overnight.
Exactly, Dae-oh Kim, who is now in a corner, and Ho-chang Yun, whose approval rating continues to rise, is exactly that.
But money and power are forever.
“ruler. Shall we wait for the results now?”
*
Yun Ho-chang, who traveled all over Jeollabuk-do and made a promise to attract foreign conglomerates in each region.
Kim Dae-oh countered that with his political career and stability, as well as attracting foreign conglomerates like Yun Ho-chang as a pledge.
Of course, it was a fake card that I had never negotiated with in advance, but party members did not know the internal situation, so some people who supported Kim Dae-oh again appeared.
But what Kim Dae-oh doesn’t have is the real success in attracting them.
Yun Ho-chang promised to host Seeway in Jeonju and put it into practice, and at the same time, I even confirmed that it was true through an interview.
“Congratulations, Governor Ho-Chang Yun.”
Then Ho-Chang Yun smiled brightly and said,
“You are the governor. We still have the finals.”
“Honestly, in Jeonbuk, the primary is the final.”
Although it is a real election in which various parties elect their own candidates through primary elections and face off against each other, the candidates who have been so elected are competing against each other.
I looked at Yun Ho-chang and said.
“How are you feeling?”
“Honestly, I feel like flying. I thought it was a place that had no relationship with me anymore.”
Yun Ho-chang bowed his head and said.
“Thank you very much, Chairman Han.”
“It was nothing. Please work hard, because Ceron will continue to push Jeonbuk. Therefore, the position of governor of Jeollabuk-do should never be taken away.”
At best, I made him the governor, but it would be difficult if the wrong person took his place.
“of course.”
“Besides, do you know? I will use this career later and go to a higher place.”
Right now, Ceron barely covers Jeonbuk, but in the future, Ceron will grow bigger and bigger.
At that time, perhaps the entire Republic of Korea would not fall within the sphere of influence?
If that’s enough, isn’t it worth aiming for more than the governor?
“More… higher?”
“It’s just that. Let’s not get too excited, we.”
“All right.”
“Good luck with the rest of the election.”
“of course.”
I said shaking hands with Yun Ho-chang.
“Good luck in the future, good friend.”
*
As expected, in the main election, Ho Chang lightly beat the rival party’s candidate and was elected Jeonbuk-do governor.
As soon as he was elected, Ho-Chang Yun began to move aggressively by proposing to the government first to create a special trade zone in Jeonbuk.
“I like being active.”
okay.
So let’s create a special trade zone and give it a lot of benefits, and let’s attract more partners.
“ruler. Now on the political side, all we need to do is push Yun Ho-chang.”
Yun Ho-chang, who quickly emerged as the dark horse of the opposition after winning against Kim Dae-oh.
Now that the political greed that had waned has been activated again, Ho-Chang Yun will actively build a foundation within the party, even for himself.
“After all, it is best to leave politics to the politicians.”
Yun Ho-chang, who has been strongly influenced by me, is active in the political arena, and I just work hard to earn money.
How good?
“ah. right.”
I opened and read the letters sent to me by the secretary’s office.
“Thank you, Chairman. It was all thanks to the president that I was able to work as a pilot by getting a job at Ceron Rental after I injured my leg and could no longer work.”
A story about a person who was unable to work due to a lower body injury while working at a construction site, thanking him for being able to work again as a pilot who does not need to use his legs.
I said with a bewildered expression.
“It has such a positive effect.”
Are you feeling pretty good?
Anyway, I’m a human too, how can I feel bad when I receive such a heartfelt letter?
I continued to check other letters.
“Five. I needed a lot of money, so I tried to work hard, but I was desperate because she said she wouldn’t accept it.
An unmanned piloted skeleton that enables a person with a disability or a weak person such as a woman to do the same job as everyone else.
It wasn’t made for this purpose, but I like it quite a bit.
“Would you like to try making a skeleton for the weak?”
When I feel good, I become interested in things that don’t make money.
“Mobility assistance wearable skeleton that helps the disabled person to move when worn. I think this is possible.”
Sometimes you have to do some good deeds.
That won’t make my image any better.
“Five! Would it be ok to add a wheelchair transforming function to that?”
Of course, the reason why I can think of other people so generously is because I don’t have to create an algorithm for this task.
I sent a text message to Director Baek Sang-ho on my cell phone.
“Study a skeleton that will assist the disabled.”
If that’s the case, I’ll figure it out on my own.
Then, I will lend the skeleton to the weak at a low cost, or ask the government to receive state subsidies for the skeleton for the weak.
If I do this, I get compliments and I feel good, so it’s perfect.
Of course, I don’t know how much money I need to make by doing this, because in the first place, this is my favored business.
“It’s almost like a machine, a machine.”
Literally, a machine that the weak directly control and use.
Of course, it is possible to create a skeleton for nursing that takes care of everything and apply an automatic algorithm, but the job of the caregivers can be at risk, so this is just the right amount.
“great. Then make this… Huh? Wait a minute. machine?”
Skeletons were exactly in the middle between workers and machines.
It is possible to do detailed work like a human, but at the same time, like a machine, repeating the same motion indefinitely was the skeleton.
And I’ve been actively pushing labor intensive businesses with this.
But this again means that the skeleton in the middle position can be a worker but also a machine.
“Automated equipment in automobile factories, these are all machines.”
Not just car factories.
This is because the proportion of automation equipment using machines is increasing as the labor cost rises.
“Why don’t you go to the realm of machines rather than workers?”
In other words, a robot.
For example, putting a skeleton made of bones instead of an automated robot that assembles doors in an automobile factory.
Since these are no longer human domains, there will be no controversy over jobs, and they will also be free from the crazy voices of taxing each skeleton.
“Besides, those robots and machines are terribly expensive.”
It is because those robots are ridiculously over the billions per unit.
In addition, each factory has different products and processes, so it is necessary to order an automated robot optimized for that factory.
Of course, renting it like a heavy machine is absurd, and you have to pay over 100 million units to buy it.
However, it is enough to modify the algorithm or dismantle and recreate the skeleton at any time, so it is free from that limitation, so it is possible to rent rather than sell.
“Ohh?”
Automated processes are the most expensive part of growing a business or starting a new one.
But at this time, what if you lend a cheap and efficient skeleton instead of selling it at a much cheaper price than an automated robot?
It is a win-win because it can overwhelmingly save the cost of automation equipment, which is the most burdensome for companies.
“There are many types of machines and robots, and each factory has so many different tasks that it is a problem to have to coordinate them one by one.
Of course, you need to approach it with caution.
Because of this, the boundary between the skeleton that will replace the robot and the skeleton that will replace the worker may become blurred.
In other words, one might argue that the work that required human hands was replaced with a skeleton and then looked into an automated machine rather than a worker.
“Then, let’s first classify a robot skeleton that does a job beyond human strength and speed.”
If that’s the case then there won’t be any problems.
I said with my eyes shining.
“okay. Now we are going to the skeleton industry, not the robot industry.”
