402: See it once and for all (2)
“Don’t push yourself too hard. If you don’t want to, just come back to Korea. I will take care of the rest.”
“okay! Don’t work too much. After this work is over, I will refuse overseas schedules for the time being. I already miss home. It reminds me of the kimchi that my mother made…”
As always, Dain’s day started with a phone call from Cheolwoo. She had been staying in New York for a few weeks, a place everyone should visit at least once.
However, no matter how glamorous New York was, it could not capture her heart as much as Seoul. At least, Cheol-woo’s wake-up call is soothing her homesickness.
What is happening to her now started with Tiffany. After stopping by to repair the accessories that Cheol-Woo gave me, I got a model offer from Tiffany.
It was a proposal to make her the main model for the collection to be presented to the world this season. Of course, Chul-woo’s influence played a bigger role than her fame.
It was also a good opportunity for her to build global recognition. That’s why she signed a contract right away.
‘But it’s not going to spread like this. phew!’
Tiffany’s position as a representative model exerted a greater influence than she thought. After attending several pictorials and events as her Tiffany model, her big deals came one after another.
Magazines and luxury companies that everyone knows by name lined up to catch her. Of course, her contract was carefully selected by her agency, including related experts.
Even though the contract was filtered and filtered like that, she had no choice but to be busy. As a result, her recognition became closer to the world’s top class.
A visit was held with Knock while Dain recalled the passing time. And Il-ryong briefly told her about her new schedule.
“Today, all we need to do is have a party related to the photo shoot for Bo○ magazine.”
“Can we miss the party?”
“If you want to, of course you have to. Huh!”
They were the Il-ryong brothers who always put her opinion first. He was a very reliable bodyguard and manager who did not listen to anyone except for Cheol-woo and her.
But sometimes those things can be poison. Since they had no middle ground, they did not consider the circumstances behind them.
“Who is hosting the party?”
“I heard that the magazine owner is hosting it.”
It was still an important place. If you don’t show your face at such a party, your efforts so far could be in vain.
“Then I will go. First of all, it’s polite to show your face. I’m sorry, I did this and that…”
“Ah, no! That’s our job. haha! Then we will schedule as instructed. You can leave after 10 minutes. then!”
Ilryong carefully closed the thick door and went out. Then she was left alone again in her spacious living room.
She was staying in Linda’s New York apartment. She was living alone on this spacious one floor, a horse apartment.
Linda has been away from home for a while due to Amanda’s nursing care and business. Because of that, the empty space felt bigger.
‘If you look at the high ceilings, it’s like you’re actually using two floors.’
The ceiling I looked up at was high up there. The panoramic view and the high and spacious feeling of space gave a sense of openness that did not seem to be indoors at all.
Linda invited her and her companions home as soon as they arrived in New York. Then, recklessly, I asked her party to unpack here.
Dain also readily accepted her proposal. It was a strange relationship where she shared a loved one, but she knew her pure favor and heart so well that she couldn’t say no soberly.
Thus, a luxurious life in New York with the 2 My Girl members began. But as much as she could feel Linda’s wealth through her skin, she couldn’t help but shrink.
That was the reason why she was left alone in America after the members returned to Korea. Because she doesn’t want to stay by his side, relying solely on Cheol-woo’s choices…
She wanted to try and climb higher by herself. To a position that is not pushed by any woman in the world.
‘I’m going to be a good fit for him myself. I want to be by his side as a confident lover with sufficient qualifications, not sympathy or affection.’
Her rivals had everything the women of the world would envy. I didn’t want to riot just because I met them first.
“I can’t be richer than Linda or Hwaryeong unnie. But as celebrities, you can have as much power as them.”
It could be some kind of entitlement. There was no way that Cheol-woo would betray her no matter who she was.
But I wanted to be proud of myself. I wanted to be a woman who was not ashamed of my man, and a mother who was not ashamed of the children to be born.
“Yes, Dain! Even if it’s hard and weary, let’s be patient a little longer! After all, this life is not going to last long!”
She made up her mind and moved again. She was sure of one thing she could endure.
Even when I was a trainee for a long time and when I lost my family in vain, I clenched my teeth and endured it. He decided in his heart to let go of longing for a while and work hard.
“Did you hear it too? This is no joke.”
“Did Kang-ho and Dae-young hit the players first? Ugh! It was so bold that we couldn’t even dream of it. He said that the opponent would die of exhaustion from the very beginning.”
Tteokbokki were chatting in active clothes in front of a local convenience store. As if the winter cold wasn’t a big deal, he sat quietly, sipping a cold coffee.
Their main concern was the movement of Kangho and Daeyoung groups. The chaebol, who did not know what it was, looked at the two groups with ease and provoked them, but then they were beaten in the head very well.
“These bastards in the □□ group couldn’t even handle us, so what did they think of provoking the two groups?”
“Isn’t it thinking that we should have a big fight and finish the calculations rather than getting eaten?”
“It could be.”
The Tteokbokki Association was relentlessly taking over the main business areas of the □□ group. On the distribution side, the decision was made so easily that the employees packed their bags and brought the whole thing to them.
The influence of the □□ group being so harsh on the employees was also great. It was also great that Tteokbokki, who thoroughly followed Cheol-woo’s principle that ‘those who want to make a profit by cutting labor costs, do not have the right to start a business’, treated their employees so well.
Thus, the management problem that started with the shortage of manpower expanded to the problem of product quality. When it was not possible to benefit from the unit price of the product, the □□ group lowered the production unit price and pushed the poor product into the market.
It was at the level of aegyo to deceive the capacity of the product and use low-cost materials. Not only did they not replace the overflowing defective products, but they even threatened to hold the consumer legally responsible rather than compensate for the damage.
‘Is this for a large corporation?’ The behavior of the □□ group was absurd. In the end, he was caught selling the customer’s credit information to a marketing company, claiming to make up for the loss.
“Sometimes crazy people in the world do that.”
“And then I got caught by the media and got caught, so I couldn’t even take it out or put it on. Ttttttttt!”
The media, which used to be arrogant, no longer listened. They tried to negotiate with the advertising fee, but they were exposed to the media as they were.
“What is the group president doing these days?”
“They said they flew to Japan with the excuse of work. I won’t show my face until domestic public opinion calms down.”
“So did the construction of the franchise store over there stop?”
“I don’t know about that, but it won’t have any effect. What!”
The construction of a franchise store that the group was about to launch had stopped. It would have been completed if only the signboard, the interior decoration, and the furniture were put in, but the progress of the construction could not be tracked for several days.
“Anyway, we have to completely take over the market without him. It’s a big trend, it will take time, but once you take control of the distribution network, it won’t be overturned.”
“The construction side is starting to creak. There were a lot of problems with the already completed building, so the tenants got up.”
“Are all the media crazy? Those who used to hide it like that are now openly sniping the □□ group.”
“You still don’t know? Reporters from the press and a few other members of the Saju family also entered the island.”
“Is that real? I heard it, but I hope it was… Did you even go into the laundry room?”
“I don’t even know that. maybe it was So, it must be like that.”
Contrary to what I was afraid of at first, the power of the □□ group was not as strong as I thought. On the contrary, the tteokbokki never gave up the initiative since they were determined and pushed hard from the beginning.
The opponent couldn’t use his strength to the point of blaming himself, ‘Are we too scared of the name price?’ The tteokbokki still did not know how much power they had.
Looking at each of the tteokbokki, there was no way they could be the opponent of the □□ group. However, when such small dwarfs are gathered, they will account for as much as 30% of the Korean economy.
Of course, they couldn’t move as one body. It was all about connecting with close people in front, back, left and right like a point organization.
The problem was that Hwaryeong was controlling them from behind. And Cheol-woo had a warrior behind her to help her secretly.
The strength of the domestic chaebols came from their close ties. At least in Korea, I did not dare to touch their hearts because of the powerful and the media entangled with the chaebol.
However, that relationship was broken by Chul-woo. Unbeknownst to the chaebols, Korea’s media, politics, and even the economy have changed.
Fighting on such a board, there was no such thing as a □□ group. On the contrary, the □□ group, who could not adapt to the changed environment, was confused and flustered.
“Aren’t you that? This time, the 4th group of △△ was also taken away without any intention. I was pushed back by my family…”
“OMG! He’s the guy who talked about graduating from Cambridge with his skills. Why is he on the island…?”
“Why? That’s because I’m a drug addict. I must have been hiding and found out. What is the case with you? Giggles!”
“What is like me? I was caught up in the early days of studying abroad and I was constantly chasing…”
“Isn’t that something to brag about?”
“The intensity of suffering is different. Could it be that the level of suffering I suffered from being beaten from the beginning was the same?”
There were many allies who joined later. I couldn’t figure it out exactly, but at least half of the Korean economy was directly or indirectly connected to the Tteokbokki Association.
In the meantime, Hwaryeong provided a large amount of funding. Of course, it was a debt that had to be paid off later, but since the supply was near-interest-free, there was no way for us to be pushed by the □□ group even in the firepower sector.
“We just need to eat each group affiliate and grow in size. So all I have to do is repay the money I borrowed from Hwaryeong.”
“right. Since my head has also slipped to Japan, I think I will be able to swallow it fairly early…”
“But maybe that bastard went to Japan to get money?”
“It could be. They trust Japan and have grown up with real estate. I won’t sit down like this because I’m pushed out of stock. Conceptually…”
They also have a lot of effort put into it. And the large honey jar that I had sweetly extracted was still here.
I couldn’t give up on this place easily. Because the economic war was an all-out war in which people risk their lives and their lives.
“What does it matter? First of all, this is our home ground. And they’ve already lost their hearts. I still don’t seem to know why that’s important. Just like we used to…”
“right. I used to think that if I had money, I could save any number of people. But now, money comes and goes, but I know for sure that the right person can’t change it. Huh!”
They say money makes money. But tteokbokki now know that people make money and attract other people.
In order to do the job properly, there was no choice but to suffer from a shortage of talent. There were many who spoke like tongues in their mouths, but he rarely said that what was wrong was wrong.
The □□group treated the staff like they used to. They can be pulled out at any time and can be pressed by force…
“The times have changed, but the old people still only think in the old way. Only if we were brainwashed in that way could we inherit anything. It’s like begging a professor for credit.”
“Even the □□ group can never deviate from the old way until their heads change. Still, it’s ironic that they don’t know that they are corrupt. Catch it!”
Tteokbokki is now completely free from the fear of the □□ group and Japanese funds. Even if they came back with huge amounts of money, they were confident they would not lose.
The world has changed, but the rule of survival of the fittest remains the same. Those who live in me are naturally going to be culled.
So quietly and loudly, the constitution of the Korean economy began to improve. To expand into a wider market…
