Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a smile when he saw the people gathered in the conference room.
“It will probably be a contract without any problems.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil, unable to secure sufficient supplies, eventually formed a consortium with other companies except Dangjin to attack Gangwon-do.
Fortunately, Dangjin did not attend the business briefing session in Gangwon Province, and the consortium led by LK Group naturally became the sole bidder.
“Now, we just need to get the Gangwon-do waste treatment business right and continue to collect slime and expand our business little by little. As everyone knows, whoever gets this first is the owner.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a smile.
“Jung In-soo hit first, but it’s worth trying if we all work together.”
At Koo Yong-gil’s words, the representatives gathered in the conference room nodded their heads and said.
“Sure.”
“Where would the game be played by a jolly bum LK who made a fortune?”
“haha. It was nothing.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil responded with a smile to the fathers of the representatives, but his intentions were different.
‘I have to borrow the power of these punks.’
Although they joined the consortium, the company with the largest volume of them is only a little over 100 tons.
Some of them were participating in the consortium with less than 10 tons.
If it wasn’t for Dangjin, I would have simply ignored these scumbags and collected more slime to bid on my own, but I was even more upset because Dangjin had no choice but to do it because if I stayed still, Dangjin would wipe out all of them.
‘Whoa.’
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil, who suppressed his irritation inside, smiled and said.
“Anyway, as soon as the contract is completed, we will build a factory…”
But then the door to the conference room opened and an LK group employee came in and approached Gu Yong-gil.
“what happened?”
At Gu Yong-gil’s words, the staff whispered in a low voice.
“Dangjin’s Jung In-soo signed a contract with Gyeonggi-do.”
Since the consortium did not participate, it was a scheduled procedure.
“But the margin is…”
“margin?”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil was astonished when he heard the winning bid price from Gyeonggi-do to the staff.
“What. what?”
Crystallites account for the most cost in waste treatment using slime.
However, since this is a consumable item and there is no special technology, most companies set similar prices, so the real core of the contract is the company’s margin.
However, the margin width determined by Dangjin was less than Gu Yong-gil’s imagination.
“…it’s 400 won.”
The representatives were astonished at Koo Yong-gil’s words and said.
“400 won?!”
“Isn’t Jung In-soo really crazy?!”
The margin set by the consortium is 1,600 won.
It was a quarter of it.
At that time, a representative said with a positive expression as much as possible.
“that. Still, there’s no problem with our contract, right? Even though we have a higher margin, we can do it ridiculously cheap compared to conventional waste disposal methods.”
When waste is treated using slime mucus, it can be treated at a cost more than 10 times compared to the existing treatment method.
Dangjin did not participate in the Gangwon-do bidding, so there is no other alternative for Gangwon-do unless it is a consortium.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil nodded and said.
“Yes. Probably no big deal.”
but it’s awkward
Now slime slime who has the king.
It is unfortunate that Dangjin did not participate in the bid from Gangwon-do’s point of view, but it is still ridiculously cheaper than the existing method, so the contract will proceed without any problem.
But did Insoo Jung really not know this?
Koo Yong-gil did not understand why the margin was so drastically reduced even though it was an independent bid without a competitor.
Then, Gu Yong-gil’s cell phone started ringing.
“Yes. This is Gu Yong-gil.”
– Former managing director. This is Domyung Yoon, the governor of Gangwon-do.
“ah! Governor Yoon!”
At the phone call from the governor, all the delegates in the conference room held their breath and looked at Gu Yong-gil.
-I have something important to say in relation to this contract… Do you have time?
“of course. Where can I go?”
So, when I made an appointment with the governor and finished the call, the representatives said with an anxious expression.
“Are you the governor?”
“What did you say?”
Ku Yong-gil said with a calm expression in response to the questions from the representatives.
“For now, we have only made an appointment.”
Then the delegates began to murmur.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s ominous…”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at those representatives and said.
“now. Everyone be calm. I don’t know the details yet. I will go and talk, so once everyone calms down and returns to work, I will contact you again later.”
“Sit here.”
Koo Yong-gil, who sat across from the governor, said.
“Yes. Governor.”
“Let’s talk while we eat.”
Koo Yong-gil and the governor started eating quietly like that.
The governor said while biting the tteokgalbi.
“They set the margin for the consortium at KRW 1,600 per ton.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil nodded and said.
“Yes. We agreed that that was the most reasonable amount.”
The governor said while looking at Gu Yong-gil.
“Did you hear about the Gyeonggi-do contract?”
“…Yes.”
“It was 400 won.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a determined expression.
“Yes. However, it is possible because Jeong In-soo has been accumulating a large amount of slime slime at a low price before, and the margin of the slime slime purchased after competing with us will not be much different from ours.”
The governor nodded and said.
“I know. You know.”
“And while it may feel like our margins are quadrupled, it’s not a huge difference in terms of the total cost of waste disposal.”
“I know that too. Even if the margin is 5,000 won instead of 1,600 won, it is overwhelmingly cheaper than landfill or incineration. There is no option right now, so it is advantageous to sign a contract unconditionally.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a puzzled expression at the governor’s words.
“Then what the hell is the problem…”
The governor held out a piece of paper to Gu Yong-gil without saying a word.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil took the paper and said.
“Gyeonggi-do…Seoul…”
“What do you think it is?”
“…I do not know.”
“That’s where Jeong In-soo of Dangjin participated in the bidding. Can’t you feel one thing in common?”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil, who continued to stare at the paper, let out a soft sigh.
“ah…”
All the regions written on the paper are those that show strong support for the current ruling party.
“west. no way.”
“Yes.”
The governor said with a cold expression.
“It seems that the ruling party members and Jung In-soo are holding hands. very blatantly.”
Now Gu Yong-gil understands why Jeong In-soo set the unit price of 400 won while shaving his own flesh.
“Jung In-soo…
“Like the former managing director said, 400 won and 1,600 won? The total amount of waste disposal savings saved is only a small sum. But now it’s not the amount that matters.”
The governor said while looking at Gu Yong-gil.
“The problem is that we might pay four times more money than the ruling party to sign a contract.”
From the moment Jung In-soo drove slime slime into the ruling party’s garden, political logic, not money, had to be applied.
“I was very determined in the ruling party. If the contract proceeds like this, we will be questioned as to why we signed the contract by paying four times as much money for the entire year of the contract. Maybe there will be a hearing against me.”
“chaff. For that amount of money…”
“As I said before, money is not important. It matters that they succeeded in signing a contract for that price and we didn’t. In other words, it will provide an excuse for an attack. furthermore.”
The governor said while looking at Gu Yong-gil.
“This consortium includes a number of large companies.”
“ね!”
“It will definitely bring up the controversy over preferential treatment for large companies.”
“However!!”
“I know. From an entrepreneur’s point of view, it never makes sense. However…”
The governor said in a quiet voice.
“The general election is coming soon.”
“…ah.”
“And this is a really good story to use. Incompetent opposition and capable ruling party. They will follow you like a tag throughout the general election. Yes. I couldn’t sign the contract due to lack of slime slime. I’d rather go beyond this. Because you can’t create something that doesn’t exist. Of course, that alone means that the ruling party will attack in the same way that they have secured everything, but there is room for consideration. However.”
The governor narrowed his eyes and said.
“It is a different story to sign a contract with four times as much money. You might even hear a hogu sound.”
At a time when falling leaves had to be avoided, this was quite a bad news.
You might be harassed throughout the general election.
The governor choked his throat with alcohol and said.
“So, by the way, Executive Director. Can you lower the unit price to 400 won? Or at least similarly.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil bit his lip and said.
“It will be . . . difficult.”
LK can.
It was because I had enough money to look into the future rather than this year and bear short-term losses.
But the other companies making up the consortium were different.
All the companies in the consortium collected all the money they could raise to respond to the soaring unit price and bought slime.
But how about lowering the unit price to 400 won?
As a result, they cannot even afford the interest on their loans.
Then, naturally, the consortium will not collapse.
There is only one way to proceed with the contract while maintaining the consortium.
It was the only way for LK to embrace the consortium companies and compensate them for the loss.
However, this is like the LK being caught trying to keep the opposition party hogu from being heard.
“…it’s just not worth 1,600 won.”
“ha. You are saying very difficult things. If I made a contract here for 1,600 won, and Jeong In-soo buys more slime and then signs another contract for 400 won with another province, what would my position be?”
This is a one-year contract, not a short-term contract.
From the moment the contract is signed for 1,600 won, it is bound to suffer from political offensive throughout the year.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil quietly lowered his head and pondered.
“…I will meet Jung In-soo once.”
The governor said with bright eyes.
“Is there any way?”
“Jung In-soo is a businessman.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a firm expression.
“If politicians have their own logic, entrepreneurs have their own logic.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Managing Director Yong-gil Koo.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil came to me suddenly.
“Yes. This is Jeong In-soo.”
He looks like he’s only in his mid-30s, but since he has the title of managing director and has the same surname as the president, he’s probably one of the owner’s family.
By the way, I didn’t know that he would come directly to the yard where the contract had already ended.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil said with a firm expression.
“You have joined hands with the ruling party.”
There’s no way I’m not aware of it being so blatantly teased.
I said with a smile.
“I do not know. Because I am just doing business.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at me for a moment and said.
“After… it’s fine. Let me tell you straight up.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at me and said.
“The reason I came today is not to stop holding hands with the ruling party or to adjust the unit price.”
“Hmm?”
“There is no room for any further intervention in a situation where the contract has already ended in the first place.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at me and said.
“I came to Jeong In-soo today to talk about slime slime rental.”
I said with a surprised expression at Koo Yong-gil’s unexpected words.
“Yes? Are all the volume contracts already over?”
“I know. However, there is still time left before the factory can be built and operated in earnest. And if you have 7,800 to 700 tons…”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at me and said.
“I think it’s good enough to turn things around.”
I was just going to ignore it and send it back, but something is interesting.
I said with a smile.
“Why do we need 700 tons?”
“……”
“You have to tell me so I can make a decision.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil thought for a moment and said.
“good.”
“ah.”
I said now with a look of understanding.
“So 700 tons…”
Hue is the goat
Goo Yong-gil was forced to pay 400 won by the governor.
At this rate, the consortium’s companies would have to bear all the losses.
That’s why Gu Yong-gil decided to raise the board because he was going to lose anyway.
After negotiating with me to temporarily secure a shortage of 700 tons, the consortium beats the consortium and wins the bid in Gangwon Province alone.
In order to proceed with the contract, we need to confirm the amount of slime slime we have.
After earning time, Gu Yong-gil continues to buy slime slime to make up for the shortage.
“Just because politicians fight doesn’t mean we have to fight.”
I thought he was just a common third generation of chaebols, but to separate politics and business and negotiate with me.
“Then what will come back to me?”
“Rental fee for slime slime. and.”
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil looked at me and said.
“Friendship with our LK group. You know where our group is in the waste market.”
It is the LK group that generates trillions of won in sales annually through copper smelting, that is, recycling of high-value-added waste.
Of course, strictly speaking, slime slime is not a recycling business, but a business that replaces landfill and incineration, but waste and recycling are inseparable.
“Hmm…”
I thought it would come out in a way that threatened me, but I was really surprised.
“Can’t we just break up the consortium and collect more?”
“…it took two months to collect 1,000 tons.”
but.
It would take at least a month or more to collect all 700 tons.
“As I said before, this is a deal between the LK and Dangjin Jeong In-su, not the ruling party and the opposition party. Of course, the deal will be done in secret.”
This was more than just a loan, it was a gesture of reconciliation that Koo Yong-gil sent me.
The reason is simple.
The moment this deal is made, Gu Yong-gil and I have each other’s weaknesses.
Hue is the goat
Gu Yong-gil, who concluded the contract even though there was no supply, or Na, who knowingly turned the contracted amount, did something that violated the contract.
Even if it was like this, he would have decided that it would be more advantageous to hold hands with me.
That’s what it means to be close with the LK group I mentioned earlier.
As an added bonus, you can win a contract in Gangwon Province more quickly alone.
LK la…
I thought for a while and said.
“Then how about doing this?”
