“Give me 9% of monthly sales, 30% of operating profit. Three times what Alex said.”
Bobby then raised another finger.
“And besides that, I’d like to offer you the position of Outside Director.”
Then, suddenly, their hands collided.
damn.
The gesture of simple applause drew people’s attention to him.
He asked me with both palms facing the sky.
“How is it, Mr. Jean?”
“It’s tempting. 7.5 million dollars…”
What an interesting proposal.
Giving 7.5 billion won isn’t enough, and even offering an outside director position that I’ve only heard of.
outside director.
Unlike inside directors, this position does not belong to the management and is appointed for the purpose of seeking advice as an external expert.
Often, lawyers, accountants, retired officials or businessmen are appointed.
However, in my experience, I have never seen an outside director run for such a good purpose.
Well, I only have 2 years of social experience.
In any case, in the case of the previous company, it was used for two purposes.
First, embezzlement.
It is an act of putting the name of the president’s wife or children on the position of an outside director and paying a corporate card and salary.
Of course, because of the position of an executive, the company provided a vehicle.
Company money is freely used for personal purposes.
Second, Ye-woo, the head of the purchasing department at the customer.
In the case of the previous company, GL Group had appointed a purchasing manager, and if they retired without appointing an executive, some of them were appointed as outside directors.
It would be nice if it was for the purpose of receiving the general courtesy before the sweet water ran out, but it was just a custom.
Would you say it’s a place to get some pocket money before finding another job or starting a business?
The subcontractors had to subcontract up to that point so they didn’t look hateful.
That’s why I’m drawn to that position as an outside director.
Because I thought I would never become an outside director unless I was born again.
Everyone curses from behind, but you want to be an outside director, don’t you?
Isn’t this a place to sit and make money?
In addition, the executives are temporary, not regular, so there is no need to be tied down.
“Then do you agree?”
“But are you really making such a proposal just to solve this problem?”
I asked to confirm the terms of the transaction.
“Of course. But if you become an outside director, you should tell our employees about your know-how, right?”
Then yes.
It was a condition for learning know-how.
But I can’t teach this.
too bad.
“Then I will not be able to receive the position of an outside director. Because it is our family’s vision, I cannot give it to you.”
“Our company’s non-executive director’s annual salary is one million dollars. Do you still hate it?”
“It’s not even worth a million dollars.”
I don’t know since when I started talking with the other person.
Anyway, now I have kicked off a special allowance of 7.5 billion won and an annual salary of 1 billion won.
“Then I’ll change the offer.”
Of course you would.
“I’ll give you 1% of the stake I own. I’ll leave out the condition to tell you the know-how.”
“Bobby! The stake!”
“Why are you making such an offer, Bobby. That’s too much, isn’t it?”
“My heart. Heh heh.”
What, so how old are you?
Since Inham is a privately held company, I was unaware of its corporate value.
So, you have no choice but to know what the 1% means.
But suddenly I had a thought.
A company with annual sales of 2 trillion won is an unlisted company?
I knew that the fact that it was not listed despite its size meant that the funds were strong enough that there was no need to attract investment.
Wait, wouldn’t that mean we could grow even more?
Do you think it would be great if it was privately held until it took first place in Australia?
‘Even if you have money, you can’t buy it!’
That’s what I think.
So I asked.
“Bobby, how many shares do you own in Inham?”
“Let’s see…”
“……”
“I have roughly 80%, and my family will be around 15%.”
Huh, it’s the opposite of Korea’s clan management system.
He owns most of the shares, but leaves the management to a professional manager.
It looked very different from the Korean chaebol family, which is run by successive generations of sons, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law with less than 10% of the stake.
“Then the remaining 5%…”
“They are my acquaintances.”
That’s right.
That’s like a kingdom.
The 1% that Bobby gives is to give him the status of nobility in that kingdom.
“By the way, I don’t know exactly what Inham’s corporate value is. May I ask how much it is?”
“About 800 million dollars, isn’t it, Alex?”
“If we calculate it based on assets, yes. In terms of future value, we will do more.”
“That’s right. How about it? It’s a 1% stake. Instead, if something similar happens after today, you have to step in.”
nothing to think about
Wouldn’t it be worth at least 8 billion shares, or 10 billion won at the most?
To meet another old man who offers 10 billion won after Henry.
Old people in this country have a lot of money.
Without hesitation, I grabbed his outstretched hand.
“I will accept it.”
“Okay. Well then, you’ll have to deal with what you’re supposed to do, right?”
“Sure.”
I immediately moved along with the chief veterinarian and other staff.
First, we had to normalize the hatchery here and check the farm, then the factory and warehouse sequentially.
“Bobby, tell me. Why did you give him a stake?”
Joshua asked with a look of disbelief.
“Isn’t it obvious? I gave it to you because it was worth it.”
“Why? You can’t even learn his know-how?”
Even if the slaughter and discarded inventory increased without his help, there was no need to remain so low.
In this case, it is bound to set a precedent.
It might be a bad precedent if rumors of this were reported when seeking expert advice in the future for quarantine or other fields.
Because you can’t afford to pay such a huge amount every time.
“I know your concerns, Joshua. But I’m not going to lose, so don’t worry.”
“What do you mean?”
“How many farms are there in Queensland? I didn’t ask him to do anything with Inham.”
“I hope… Bobby.”
“Yeah, I heard a while ago that an epidemic spreads on Kinkoi’s breeding farm?”
“……!”
Kinkoi is Brisbane’s largest beef processor.
Joshua, too, had heard from last week that an epidemic was spreading on the farms that supply there.
It’s not just Kinkoi.
For farms raising livestock, infectious diseases were always a fate they were faced with.
“But Bobby. They said that Jin’s know-how belongs to his family, and his family is in the chicken industry. How do you know if it can be applied to other livestock?”
“Hahaha, it’s possible. I’ve been watching it secretly for a while, but he’s been looking for an infectious agent without looking properly. Is it possible with any know-how? I wonder if he has something special like a sixth sense. whether or not.”
“Is that really the case?”
“I don’t care if that’s true or not. What matters is whether it’s worth it or not. I’ve never been wrong with my eyes, Joshua.”
Bobby continued speaking with his sharp eyes shining under a warm impression.
“He’s a diamond.”
***
a few days later.
“Oh, what a snarky inspiration!”
I threw my phone into the car at home and scratched my head.
Shortly after the avian influenza crisis was over, I had to go to a place called Kinko, which entered Brisbane’s Big 3 Farm.
It was because of the disease that had spread to the breeding farms there.
Of course, at the time, I just cut it off and refused.
-I can’t see anything but chickens. There was no condition that other farms would be included.
– I also never said that only in-ham work was applicable. If you don’t like it, let’s pretend we didn’t talk about the stake.
– All the issues on Inham’s side have already been sorted out. Does it come out like this because you didn’t receive a share contract?
– Look. I’m not asking you to do it for free. Other farm work will pay you what you pay for it. How good is it to earn money and save the lives of poor livestock that are dying?
– Because other animals cannot see.
-why? Because your family is in the chicken business?
-yes.
– That’s weird. You are so talented, I did some research on you. It was just an ordinary chicken restaurant. Does Korea even test for viruses when fried chicken?
At that, I had no choice but to shut my mouth and obey Bobby’s words.
Even after being attacked by Henry, I didn’t know that the wealthy would investigate me.
Oh, you bastard!
‘In the future, I have to go on the premise that the other party will investigate me. What kind of old people are all confused.’
I sighed and picked up the phone I had thrown into the passenger seat.
TADIS DUCKS FARM.
It was Bobby’s text with the next destination written on it.
Fifth already.
After Kinkoi cattle farm, it is a pig farm, a sheep farm, a zoo, and a duck farm.
It’s not hard work.
It’s just a matter of letting us know about the animals that have abnormalities.
I got a lot of money too.
It wasn’t a special infectious disease like inham, but every time it went through one place, it was shattered by 100 million won.
what? Are you saying that’s too much?
How big are the farms here!
Early response to infectious diseases is of paramount importance.
Otherwise, dozens of animals will be infected in an instant, and the farm will not be in debt if it reaches the point where it has to be completely slaughtered.
I don’t usually go that far, but that’s the point.
Moreover, I can pinpoint the exact area where the abnormality occurred.
lungs, liver, heart and so on.
Moving X-rays, or even a diagnostic machine, how fast can you respond?
boo boo.
As if to relieve stress, the exhaust sound of the Ferrari sounded cool.
I opened the window and stepped on the accelerator and drove comfortably.
As I always feel, Australia doesn’t have many mountains, so it tastes like running.
It’s just a great view, the view.
Moreover, the air is clean, the sky is just pure blue, and the sunlight is bright, so the scenery is clear.
It hurts my eyes to look at it for too long and I have to wear sunglasses, but it’s pretty cool anyway.
Looking at the wide open field, it reminds me of the movie The Lord of the Rings.
Come to think of it, wasn’t the filming location New Zealand?
It’s right next door, so is Australia similar to that?
‘Actually, Korea and Japan have similar natural environments.’
It was time to run with such useless thoughts.
Billboards in my eyes? I saw a sign standing on the side of the road like a sign?
There it was written horse riding.
‘By the way, there was no horse farm in the text Bobby sent? There were cows, pigs, sheep and ducks…’
how far did you run
Again a sign related to the horse appeared and soon disappeared behind me.
There seemed to be many horse farms and horse riding grounds nearby.
Perhaps it was because I had seen it several times, I suddenly remembered what I had been thinking about in the Gold Coast.
At that time, a trainer who rode on the back of a dolphin at the dolphin show.
I looked at him and thought about learning horseback riding.
I’ve been eating it up until now…
‘right. I wondered if it was possible to transmit vision even when riding a creature. I’ll have to go visit the duck farm after work. It must be fun, heh heh.’
I really enjoyed reading Three Kingdoms when I was a kid.
The heroic ho-girls who appeared there were all riding wonderful horses.
Guan Yu’s Red Toma, Cao Cao’s Vision of Jo Hwang, and the enemy who saved Liu Bei, etc.
A modern supercar is nice, but there’s also the classic fun.
I mean, didn’t our ancestors also ride horses and shoot bows when they raised hoyeongi?
‘I wish I had a horse like a red tomato.’
