＜ Dream of Early Education (3) ＞
The business class that President Shim was supposed to teach started a week later.
It was because the re-acquisition of Wookwang Chemical became visible after the executive meeting of Taesung Group, and President Shim had to deal with more things recently.
“Brother Jeong Hyuk, please take good care of me today as a ‘tutor’ rather than ‘JH Investment Company’s pants president’.”
look at this
JH Investment Company was an investment company made after my initials.
‘To remind you that it’s not between employer and employee, but between tutor and student?’
The intention was obvious.
‘It means I don’t want to give up the initiative and authority.’
Even though I knew it clearly, I politely put my hands together and nodded my belly button.
“Please take good care of me in the future, Mr. Shim.”
It seems that he is very satisfied when he hears the sound of ‘teacher’ instead of ‘President Sim’ as he wants.
“Then take a seat, student Jeonghyeok.”
“yes.”
“It will be a very difficult and difficult class in the future, but please do not give up and follow it with all your heart and sincerity until the end.”
It was a bluff and a declaration of war.
So I prepared too!
“As usual, my grandfather sent me an official letter like this.”
“Yes, it was the proposal that the president brought up first. You asked me to teach you business management.”
Sim smiled.
“I was originally scheduled to help Master Seongjun in his business class. It was an offer to help his son, Jeong Hyuk, instead of Master Seongjun, so I accepted it.”
“The fact that you accepted my grandfather’s proposal means that you will take responsibility for guiding me, at least until I go to the forefront of management, right?”
“of course. If you want, I’m willing to help you until you get a position as an executive.”
“I am an officer. great. Then sign and seal it.”
I pushed through the contract I had prepared in advance.
“What is this? I think the promise with the president would be enough.”
“President Shim has just resigned from Taesung Group, right?”
That’s why I’m sitting as the president of my investment company.
“Did you think about the proposal I sent you by note?”
“If you’re referring to the fact that I asked if you had decided on Taesung Chemical, an investment company, or an oil refinery through a note…”
On New Year’s Day, I made a promise while recruiting President Sim.
If Taesung Chemical is brought back, he will respect President Shim’s choice.
“I have to say that it’s up to Master Jeong Hyuk. I hope that you will engrave my will on giving your best in management classes.”
“So I have no choice but to prepare a contract.”
“······yes?”
“Unless you are bound by an employment contract with the company, your promise to your grandfather is just a verbal promise. I want to learn very well, for a long time, surely, and well from Mr. Shim.”
I smiled lightly.
“It’s a matter of money and time, as well as effort and effort, and it needs to be clearly pointed out. As you know, I am a person who believes in documents more than words.”
“Then, the tutoring contract is with my father, Master Seongjun…”
“You see this official document? I was given full authority over tutoring by my grandfather. Also, I am the one who will be receiving tutoring. party.”
With a slightly surprised expression, President Shim considered the contract and me alternately, but I was tired after repeating the same words for the 21st time already.
“When are you going to prepare all these contracts?”
“Preparation is essential for a smooth class.”
“No, how do you include a clause in the contract in advance that you will help until you grow into an executive? Wasn’t this a suggestion that just came out of my mouth?”
That’s right, I expected Shim to make such an offer.
“Is that important? The important thing is that Mr. Shim was determined to help me, and I was willing to make the decision to take business classes with Mr. Shim.”
“That is true. This clause also takes a lot of time.”
“What bothers me is that the number and place of business class participants, as well as the class method, can be determined voluntarily under the agreement of the parties concerned?”
“The part of the agreement between the parties is annoying. Even though this is a class I lead, it seems like a claim to my right to proceed only when I reflect Master Jeong Hyuk’s opinion. Because the teacher is the best.”
“Wasn’t extracurricular classes requiring students’ active cooperation?”
I just cut it out.
“Do you know that this is a company? I’m not even one of President Shim’s subordinates, so you’re insisting on the hierarchy and top-down?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then what is the problem? You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink. Please understand that education is the goal now, not management.”
Unlike the naive elite college students, President Shim carefully reviewed the terms of the contract.
“So what is all this confidentiality clause about? Why is it that all information about the class cannot be leaked to the outside world?”
“Classes end with classes. The only thing I need to report to my grandfather is the evaluation report of Suumi Yangga. Is there a problem?”
“Well, then I guess there will be no problem.”
Only then did President Shim obediently sign and seal the document.
President Sim also snapped at the bait like elite college students.
“Then shall we begin class?”
President Sim hmmm, refined his voice.
“What is Management?”
“The act of managing and operating an organization organized to achieve a specific purpose. In a word, it’s about running a company.”
Sim was startled.
But once again, he huffed his voice and opened his mouth calmly.
“Then what is a company?”
“It is an incorporated association organized for the purpose of pursuing profit and engaging in commercial activities or other for-profit activities.”
“Then what does it mean to run a company?”
“It is usually divided into sales, public relations, organization, personnel, production management, financial management, etc., but in the end, it can be said that it is about reading the needs of the market and selling products and services.”
President Shim said in a small way, ‘You’ve been doing your preparations very thoroughly. After all, it’s not easy.’ he muttered.
“Then what is the most important thing in running a company?”
“Selling things to sell in the market, selecting and developing products, promoting products and managing inventory, and selecting employees to run a company are, after all, human tasks.”
“…”
“In other words, I think the most important thing in management is how to run people.”
Sim opened his mouth wide.
“Mr. Sim, I didn’t ask for tutoring just because I wanted to learn business theory or study.”
Shim, who burst out laughing, looked at me with strange eyes.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“I came here to see and learn from Mr. Shim’s judgments and insights accumulated through practice and experience.”
“you’re right.”
“We’re not scholars, so what are we going to do by digging deep into theories?”
“sure. For practitioners like us, it is best to run the company well and run the people well.”
Sim opened the briefcase and took out a thick stack of documents.
“So I prepared.”
“······This is something my investment company has to deal with, right?”
So you’re saying that Sim brought me a job that he had to do himself?
Why did I hire Sim?
I got a contract with an expensive salary to do this kind of work.
“Should I call it class materials?”
Sim smiled with a meaningful expression.
“As expected, the best way to learn is to engrave with your body while breaking and rolling through actual combat.”
So you’re going to roll me around and carve a lesson into my bones?
“I knew that, so I prepared for it.”
I pointed to the thick stack of papers I had placed on the desk in advance.
“What is this again?”
“Company management is, after all, a matter of selecting and running people, right? It’s the result of picking and rolling useful people for a week.”
It was an assignment submitted by tutors.
“yes? I think I just heard something strange…”
“A thousand words are worth a thousand words. It will be faster to see it for yourself than to listen to the word-for-word explanation. Please follow me.”
I dragged the bewildered president by the arm and headed to the next room.
* * *
jump.
In the next room, twenty tutors were waiting for today’s tutoring.
Each person was assigned a desk and chair, and the people who struggled with their assignments raised their heads.
“Oops! I haven’t finished it yet. Time is running out, but the amount of assignments is over the limit!”
“Junghyuk, didn’t you say that today’s class was going to end with a brief discussion?”
“No, I didn’t know you would invite outsiders to your tutoring class and hold a grandiose discussion…”
While listening to the protests of the tutors, I pointed at the judge.
“Greetings. This is the CEO of Taesung Chemical.”
“what?”
The tutors screamed like screams.
“Tae, why is the CEO of Taesung Chemical here?”
“That’s because we’re going to have a business management class with experts.”
“Wait, business class?”
I clapped my hands.
“Pay attention. President Shim is the one who raised Taesung Chemical into a company with a market capitalization of about 30 billion won, annual sales of 3.1 billion last year, operating profit of 1.9 billion won, and net profit of 1.6 billion won in 7 years with a business fund of 1 billion won.”
The private tutors looked at Sim with their mouths wide open.
“For the sake of the teachers, it was difficult to recruit a person who wrote a success story in management by growing the company 30 times in 7 years, but the welcome is not very good.”
“It is an honor to meet you! My name is Jo Pil-doo, a former 3rd year economics major at Korea University!”
As soon as I finished my words, the tutors welcomed me with applause and cheers.
Each of them raised their voices in order to somehow imprint their eyes while naming their affiliations and names.
President Shim also bowed his head with a bewildered expression.
President Shim looked at me and said with his lips, ‘Brother Jeonghyeok, what’s all this about business tutoring?’, but I deliberately pretended not to know.
“President Shim of Taesung Chemical is also famous as the closest aide to Chairman Cha Tae-seong, the head of Taesung Group.”
“I know!”
“What would happen if there was someone among the teachers who caught President Sim’s eyes?”
“…!”
“Let’s think about the contract. Wasn’t there a condition for joining the Taesung Group along with the condition of the 6-year exclusive contract?”
“…!”
All of them are great people who occupy the positions of presidents of major affiliates of conglomerates.From noble mtl dot com
Not only was his ambition and aspirations greater than those of the criminals, but his motivation and passion were also extraordinary.
“Think carefully. After all, you can’t live without tutoring for the rest of your life, can you? When everyone graduates, won’t you join a large company?”
“I have to join!”
“What if President Sim became an employee with his eyes on him? how is it? Don’t you think your company life will go smoothly in the future?”
Suddenly, it seemed as if lasers were coming out of the tutors’ eyes.
“Can’t I parachute without a house and a back boat? It’s something you have to achieve with your ability. Wouldn’t it be a rare opportunity to open your own career path with your own hands?”
Everyone clenched their fists and looked at President Shim with a flushed expression.
“Don’t you think learning about management one step ahead of others would be very advantageous for getting promoted to executives at high speed in the future? The starting line is different.”
I snapped my finger at Yoo Jong-tae.
Then, Yoo Jong-tae, a quick-witted bodyguard, copied the assignments he had collected from the tutors and turned them into meeting materials.
“Then let’s report the assignments for the past week in front of President Shim.”
“yes!”
Twenty private tutors shouted ambitiously with voices full of motivation.
‘Life is just carrots and sticks!’
Sim whispered close to my ear while letting out a sound.
“Bocchan, who are all those people?”
“My tutors.”
“Are you trying to use me to train the private tutors like this?”
“I heard that management is, after all, the law of dealing with people? Are you doing that? Isn’t this what real life is all about?”
“…”
“Is there a problem?”
President Sim had a speechless expression on his face.
Either that or not.
Twenty private tutors began to report enthusiastically, their eyes flashing.
“I am Cho Pil-doo, a 3rd year economics major at Korea University, who was in charge of tutoring in mathematics. I will present the assignment.”
President Shim and I sat down and reviewed while flipping through the pages.
I closed the account books and reports Mr. Cho had submitted.
“What a mess. Who told you to write a balance sheet like this?”
“I did my best for myself. Accounting is so difficult that in terms of making it easy to see…”
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think they embezzled funds by using double ledgers.”
“Sashimi, embezzlement?”
“Just looking at the ledger, you can have such doubts. With bookkeeping comes responsibility. Can you take responsibility for this ledger in your own name?”
Mr. Jo was white and did not know what to do.
“Don’t you know where to put your balance sheet?”
“I know it is used in the stock market to analyze the financial structure of companies, but…”
“To solve a math problem, you have to use math symbols. Can we change the balance sheet used in the market at will?”
“······sorry. I will fix it right away.”
“I told you to ask team leader Yoo if you don’t know. Does Team Leader Yoo look like an X…”
“Oh, that can’t be! Absolutely not!”
“Be sure to learn how to analyze a balance sheet properly by the next class.”
“yes.”
President Shim nodded his head as if he had the same opinion.
As soon as the expression of disapproval was evident, Mr. Cho lowered his head.
His face flushed red, but he didn’t make excuses or get angry.
I was using asterisks and underlines as I took notes on points that were pointed out.
‘Good guts! Like it!’
But why?
It was not unusual to see Sim’s eyes twinkle.From noble mtl dot com
Not to Pil-doo Cho, who ruined the presentation, but to me.
“Is this the ingenuity of an eight-year-old? No, who in the world receives tutoring like this?”
The low admiration and deep sigh were bonuses.
“You got this nose stitched right… Why don’t you write your names in order of grades and put them on the wall?”
From noble mtl dot com
No, how did you know?
If the annual salary is frozen, the reason for the difference in performance pay must be clear.
After all, life is carrot and stick.
