88 episodes. What is it?
it was wednesday
Koh Sang-moon came down to Changwon, toured the local factories first, and left time on the third day.
only for me
The heir of a chaebol takes a day off to meet me, so I wonder what this is.
“You’re really going to see Ko Sang-moon, aren’t you?”
My older sister looks at me with suspicious eyes.
I decided to take my annual leave today and act as my secretary.
I’m trying to find out if I really know Koh Sang-moon or not.
“Oh, that’s right. Why don’t you believe what people say?”
“I believe it when it makes sense! If you are like you, would you believe if your younger brother, who returned to Australia after half a year in Australia, earned more than 20 billion won?
“Hey, even if you make money, you have to prove it. I’m sorry…”
“So, I came directly to check whether the relationship with Ko Sang-mun is correct, child. Acting as your secretary, which is not even on sale at the forefront, is leaving my black history properly today. If you are a hidden camera, you should know how to fall behind.”
“It’s a real wonder.”
“what?”
“The fact that my older sister is a teacher. How does the teaching authority gradually decline.”
“Hey, do you know how naughty kids these days are? They control them because they’re like me. And why is the school authority going down? It’s just a saying, but in reality, parents are polite to us. Every news that comes out is an unusual case.”
“It’s because my sister has never been through anything like that.”
“If you do that to me, you will immediately enter the real education, what will you do?”
“……”
Look at that character.
It’s my older sister, but it’s good to be a real gangster.
“Park your car in the parking lot over there, and check your registration at the security office.”
When I entered the entrance of GL Electronics Factory 2, the security guard kindly guided me.
“Thank you for your hard work, Hoho. I’m here to meet Mr. Koh Sang-moon.”
“yes?”
“Mr. Koh Sang-moon, I’m here to meet you.”
At my sister’s words, I poked my side and muttered with my mouth saying “Sangmu”.
“Ah, I’m here to meet Managing Director Koh Sang-moon. Hohoho.”
“That’s right. Please park over there and go to the security room.”
The security guard had the face of what all these crazy people were, but he responded kindly to the end.
“Hey-san! What is this? Are you really acquainted with Ko Sang-moon? I came to meet the third-generation chaebol, but this is all! They sold all of them!”
“I thought I could just say that! Did you know I had to do it the way I did FM!”
“If you are a real hidden camera, be prepared!”
The older sister pulled on Matiz’s handbrake and provoked her temper.
I thought I had a real freepass!
‘Miss, if you haven’t registered your visit, you’re a real dog.’
In the past, when I came here on a business trip with Director Lee, there was a time like this.
Obviously, I had a meeting, but the person in charge forgot to register and waited in the security room.
This did not work right away, as the systemic procedure was complicated and required approval from superiors.
There are a lot of industrial spies, but anyway, it was a bit miserable at the time.
“uh?”
As soon as I opened the door to the security guard room, I saw a familiar face.
“Jin Yu-seong, when did you come in? I thought it was time for you to come, so I kept looking at the door.”
“I just came in. Haven’t you seen Matiz?”
“Ah, that red Matiz… I thought you would come in a sports car just like in Australia.”
Kang Jun-ho was thinking of my favorite horse he had seen in Australia.
But since I came in Matiz, I didn’t think I would be there.
My sister had her eyes slightly startled when she heard that my sports car was in Australia.
“I meant to tell you in advance.”
“No. It’s my mistake for not asking in advance. But who is this person?”
“I’m sorry. Say hello. Kang Jun-ho is the direct secretary of Koh Sang-moo.”
“Ah, hello. Jin… It’s really nice to meet you. My name is Yuri Kim.”
Ugh, think about a pseudonym in advance.
Jin… it’s nice to meet you, but what is it?
“Where is your boss?”
“I’ll guide you.”
I followed Kang Jun-ho to the building directly visible from the entrance of GL Electronics’ 2nd factory.
It was a building I had never been to because I had gone to the factory when I had come with Director Lee before.
The place he followed was not the reception room, but the large conference room.
It was a common appearance in dramas, and each seat had a microphone.
“Welcome, Jin Yu-seong. It’s been a while.”
“How have you been, sir?”
I greeted Koh Sang-moon by holding hands, and introduced the secretary.
“Secretary… Mr. Jin Yu-seong is the second time we met, but he’s already showing a different side.”
“Ugh, it’s changed with having a secretary. I’m still you back then.”
“No. Starting to put people at the bottom is a big change. Standing at the top means a different position.”
“It’s not under the side, but by the side. It’s not a master-slave relationship.”
“I don’t know if you think that way now. But as you lead a lot of people in the future, you’ll know naturally. The payers and recipients can’t be in the same position.”
Koh Sang-moon looked back at the empty seats in the conference room and continued.
“These positions are for those I am responsible for who can meet me face-to-face. Of course, the position is higher than that of general manager.”
“……”
“There are places like this, not just here, but all over the country, even around the world. And under them there are a lot of employees and partners. They also have families to take care of.”
I thought that the reason I chose this path rather than the reception room was because of what Sang-Moon Ko said now.
“What do you want to say?”
“I’m saying that the disrespect I committed to Jin Yoo-seong at that time was for the people I was responsible for. Even if it seems like a lousy excuse.”
Well, was it as big as an ant’s asshole?
Now that I look at it, it seems that the idea that the people who put everyone under them are the servants.
“I don’t think you need to make excuses. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Oh, and as I once said as an employee of a partner company, I’ve never seen anyone take responsibility from top to bottom. No, they forced me to make sacrifices.”
“Because each person has different responsibilities, there are always people who commit unreasonable things among the employees. I always feel sorry for the partners.”
“You’re talking as if you didn’t do anything unreasonable, sir?”
“Are you talking about work in Australia?”
“yes.”
I purposely stood up and said.
Even if I gulped down my slush fund, the job of having to bow my head doesn’t go anywhere.
“So I prepared this event to sincerely apologize to Mr. Jin Yu-seong. At that time, I had to make it happen no matter what I did.
Koh Sang-moon got up from his seat, straightened his clothes and bowed his head to me.
like I did then.
“Why are you doing this to me? If it’s Mr. Koh, there’s no need to do this to me, right?”
“Because there is no high or low between me and Jin Yu-seong.”
“Haha, is it because I’m not a paid person?”
“More than that, it means that I have a high regard for Jin Yu-seong. Didn’t I tell you back then that I like a person like you?”
“……”
“Actually, I tried to apologize like this after I dealt with it. There was a problem in the middle and I was out of my mind, and after taking care of it, I couldn’t reach Jin Yu-seong, so I’m here until now.”
huh? Did you mean to apologize in the first place?
Should I believe this…
“Whatever the reason or method, it was wrong to do it forcibly, so of course I should apologize. I’m sorry it’s too late to ask for forgiveness.”
“I just said that there was a problem, but didn’t you ask me to meet you because you were suspicious of me? It seems like you’re trying to mess with me with an apology as an excuse.”
“In that case, I would have found Jin Yu-seong right away when there was a problem.
200 billion was recovered.
Maybe it was filled with group money?
I’m curious, but if you ask me, you might doubt me.
I said I wasn’t talking about it, but I can’t believe it straight away.
“I don’t really care. I’ve already forgotten everything. I’ll just get up when you’ve finished talking.”
As I was about to get up, Sang-Moon Ko reached out and stopped me.
“Wait.”
“……?”
“Samgochoryeo is not over yet.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it said that Liu Bei went to visit Zhuge three times to obtain Zhuge Gongming?”
“I’m not even Gongmyeong, I’m the only one who came to me. Haha.”
“Please understand that. There are many eyes to see, so I am not in a situation where I can go anywhere I want.”
“Anyway, I have no intention of being under you.”
“I don’t think I’ll be successful the second time around. It’s enough if I can just shake off the bad feelings I had at that time.”
“If that’s the case, I think you’ve heard everything you’ve heard.”
Koh Sang-moon shook his head and opened his mouth.
“I only talked about the outside, not the inside.”
“……?”
“How it was related to my responsibility.”
“Do I even need to hear that?”
“I’m not asking you to make a choice or a decision, I’m just asking you to listen.”
Just when he hesitated, the older sister came out of nowhere.
“Tell me. I really want to hear it.”
“……?”
Koh Sang-moon had an expression of bewilderment inside when the secretary suddenly said such a thing.
“Oh, over there, I don’t know much since it’s been awhile since I’ve served this person…. Even so, I don’t think there’s anything that I don’t know about the name of the direct secretary.”
“That’s right.”
I nodded my head as if it was okay when Koh Sang-mun looked at me.
I already thought that through today’s meeting, my sister might know about it, and even if I did, it’s all gone. What should I do?
“Actually, the slush fund I made at that time was to acquire a certain company.”
At the word slush, my sister’s eyes widen and she looks at me.
My eyeballs were twitching and looking at me, and I almost fell off, damn it.
“Why do you need a slush fund to acquire a company?”
“Because we need the government’s consent. It’s a kind of lobby. Do you know inyx?”
“A semiconductor company?”
“Yes. It has not been formalized in the press, but it is on the market and all groups in the business world are working hard on the calculator.”
“If it’s INIX, wasn’t the whole body GL semiconductor?”
imix.
In the past, Daehyun Electronics took over GL Semiconductor and changed its name to Daehyun Semiconductor, but it was split from the Daehyun Group due to a lot of debt and changed the name to Inix again.
The reason I said GL Semiconductor was the predecessor was because GL Semiconductor was larger than Daehyun Electronics at the time.
Yes, the little one ate the big one.
I heard that the GL group hated the government, but I don’t know the details because it was a long time ago.
“Yes, it’s the semiconductor that our group, whose main focus is electronics, took away.”
Is it because you want to show the government what you lost and get it back?
“Since it’s a semiconductor, I think the assortment would be good if the GL group took over.”
“Yes. Moreover, semiconductors are very attractive in terms of future growth. I thought that if the group took over Inix, we could take another leap forward.”
“That’s why you said responsibility. If you’re a manager, you have to keep looking for growth engines.”
I heard that if you stay in one place for a long time, you will be put out of business.
It is not enough just to endure, so you have to constantly grow.
“It was also a good thing to show my management performance as a successor.”
“Performance? Do you need performance too?”
“Hahaha, performance pressure is the same. It’s not just that there are shareholders. Especially me.”
“……?”
“I wanted to be recognized. I wanted to make the adults in the family and the group’s president look at me instead of my brother lying in a bed.”
The principle of eldest son succession.
I knew it well because I was an employee of a partner company.
The GL group values bloodline to the extent that it is comparable to the Joseon Dynasty and prioritizes the eldest son.
‘The second son’s sorrow, what is it?’
