[Episode 11] The real legacy is scrap metal!
It has been decided that Kang Pil-joong will go to work with the Myeongsan Steel.
After sending all the employees back, Siwoo Lee and Jaeshin Moon entered the office and sat down facing each other.
“The representative’s heart touched me well.”
“I want to protect Nuri, but I also wanted to give a chance to the employees who believed in me and stayed with me. Thank you for listening to my request.”
Until yesterday, the relationship between Shin Woo-cheol and Moon Jae-shin had led to a relationship.
However, starting today, Moon Jae-shin has made a decision to establish a new relationship with Lee Si-woo.
“CEO, there are many things that are known to the general public about junk dealers, but there are many things that are not known.”
“I agree.”
“I want young people like you to take an interest in the junkyard business. The junk dealer is going to get harder and harder now.”
As the years went on, the younger people were not paying attention to the antique dealers.
The age of the people working in this field is getting higher and higher.
But even so, running a junkyard was not so easy.
Although it may seem like an easy industry on the surface, it was also a junk store that went bankrupt without proper knowledge and experience.
That is why, for proper learning, Siwoo Lee bowed his head and asked for Kang Piljoong to be dispatched.
“Actually, you can’t just rush into the junk dealer business. If my father hadn’t been a junk dealer, I wouldn’t have thought of taking over.”
“It would be. Barriers to entry are so high for this profession.”
It was different from a profession that worked according to a set framework, such as a doctor or a lawyer.
You can’t know how a junk dealer works unless you experience it with your body and experience the damage firsthand.
“The story is good. I want you to think of it as a lamentation that you do as a senior who continues the junkyard business.”
“of course.”
“How can I pay for the items I brought yesterday?”
It was a question of whether to exclude from the money received in advance, or whether to leave the received money and pay a new amount.
Usually, in the state in which the advance payment was received, the price of the goods was not newly paid.
However, Siwoo Lee thought that the situation he was in was different from normal.
“I am sorry to the President. Now that scrap metal prices are falling, I think this is an opportunity.”
“I understand. To be honest, 30 million won would be enough to lay all the scrap metal in the Nuri yard.”
Although 30 million won may seem like a lot of money, you had to have at least 100 million won to make money by running a junkyard.
“It weighed 7,270, and it was 5,230 light.”
It was by no means a light amount.
The price agreed to by Myeongsan was 300 won for weight and 260 won for light weight.
Weight 2181,000 won.
Light weight 1,359,800 won.
The total amount was 3,54,800 won.
So, it was decided to send a new amount of 3.5 million won without excluding the advance payment.
“All in all, it’s about 350 million won.”
“I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I will pay off the advance payment as quickly as possible within a month.”
When a junk dealer and a junk dealer trade, there is something that has a big influence on the unit price.
That’s the tax bill.
The unit price varies greatly depending on whether tax is processed or not.
“How would you like your bill?”
“I have to do it. I am aware of the fact that it is the unit price that is offered as a condition of paying the bill.”
There was a difference in the unit price of about 20 won depending on whether or not the tax bill was paid.
From the standpoint of running a junkyard, it was natural that it would be better not to pay tax bills.
However, it was impossible to cause damage to the famous mountain to save Nuri.
“Here is your business license.”
“A copy of the business registration certificate and bankbook.”
Both Myeongsan and Nuri were corporate companies and not individual entrepreneurs.
Corporate companies had to be wary of high taxes, and they had to balance expenses and sales as much as possible.
The moment sales increased more than expenses, the tax had to be huge.
And the cash paid to reporters was originally supposed to be an expense, but because they couldn’t pay their bills, the expense was rather counted as sales.
The only way to take money out of a corporate account and keep it in cash was because it had no choice but to capture expenses and turn it into cash.
Sole proprietorships are not legal entities, although there is a system that provides tax relief from the state.
They had to pay taxes in full according to their sales.
The moment pedestrians take their money in cash, the problem of taxes also arises.
In a way, it could be called tax evasion.
However, the legal system was not in place and there was no way to fix it because it had been in the same system for too long.
Without a business, there was no way to get a tax invoice.
“Isn’t inheritance tax a problem? If this land was in the name of the former president… … .”
Moon Jae-shin asked with a worried expression.
Nuri Recycling was located on the outskirts of Yongin.
Even in a village in Gyeonggi-do, the pyeong was a whopping 1,000 pyeong.
Even if there was not much in Lee Do-woon’s personal account, land was a problem.
“It is in my name.”
However, Siwoo Lee said calmly as if nothing had happened.
Moon Jae-shin was surprised for the first time at those words.
“yes?”
“When I became an adult, my father paid the gift tax and put it in my name.”
“Oh, I see.”
“There was a time when a junk yard faltered because of a gift tax. I’m glad we got through the crisis well.”
Siwoo didn’t know why his father did that.
He just said, ‘You will find out someday too’, and didn’t tell me the exact reason.
If it was simply to hand it over, it would have been okay to do it later when I could afford it.
However, as if his father had foreseen something, Siwoo changed his name as soon as he became an adult.
Siwoo Lee felt his eyes tingle for nothing.
Even if there is a death limit, no one can touch this land.
“Your boss has made a great decision. It must not have been easy… … .”
“I also think he is a great man.”
Siwoo Lee got up from his seat and opened the tightly closed office door.
This was the place that gave him many memories from his childhood.
“The price of land has gone up a lot. But, CEO, no matter how much the land price rises, I have no intention of selling it.”
“Hmm, the location is good, but if you think about the future, wouldn’t it be better to sell and move it when you can afford it?”
Ishiu shook his head without saying a word.
Moon Jae-shin looked into his eyes and realized that he had made a mistake.
However, Si-woo Lee did not blame him for his mistake and just looked at the yard.
Moon Jae-shin, who looked at his lonely back, got up from his seat.
“I think the former boss taught the CEO really well. If it were anyone else, I would have thought of selling the land at this price right away.”
“Haha, that’s not wrong. It’s an opportunity to turn your life around.”
antique shop.
It was the only legacy he left behind.
However, Siwoo Lee thought that this was not the only legacy his father left behind.
“Now, I guess I am the boss of a junkyard. At this point, I don’t think the land or junk dealers are important, but the scrap metal.”
If you only looked at money, the land and junk dealers were like treasures to the heirs.
If you sell a business called a corporation, you can get quite a lot of money.
If you add up the price of the land, it would probably be the largest amount of money that Siwoo Lee had ever touched in his entire life.
‘But it’s because you inherited those scrap metals as well.’
The factor that gave Lee Si-woo strength to look into the future.
It was just scrap metal.
If there were no items in the junkyard, it meant the end.
In addition, scrap metal itself is an intangible heritage without an inheritance tax.
“It’s a different point of view. I also have a son, and if I have the same mindset as the CEO, I will be less worried. haha.”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to send your son here once in a while. The older the age gap with the people I work with, the less interested I am in this job.”
Siwoo Lee said these words without much thought.
However, Moon Jae-shin was greatly inspired by those words.
‘Oh, that’s a good suggestion.’
Moon Jae-shin’s son is now 23 years old.
He didn’t even go to college and was doing errands at the junkyard.
I wasn’t told to work properly, and I couldn’t see them working hard at other companies.
While I was still thinking about it, Siwoo Lee scratched the itchy spot properly.
“If I send my son to Nuri, my salary will be handled by Myeongsan.”
“It’s fine. I also have a friend of my age, and it’s nice to have more support. Whoops.”
Si-woo Lee thought, ‘I’m sure he’s going to send his son away,’ and smiled lightly.
“I’ll just go. You don’t have to worry about Kang’s work. I can be proud that Director Jin is the best in sales.”
“Thank you for listening to my sensitive request. I’ll have to thank Director Jin again later.”
After Moon Jae-shin left, Lee Si-woo called Choi Moon-sik and Park Tae-moon, who were working in the yard.
Si-Woo Lee, who gave them a cup of coffee and sat down.
Park Tae-moon looked at Lee Si-woo with his mouth shut.
“Do you think it’s wrong for me to bow my head on the spot?”
“It’s not, but I don’t think the employees are bowing their heads when they are in front.”
To be honest, Park Tae-moon’s words were not wrong.
However, Si-woo Lee did not regret that Kang Pil-joong’s future was strengthened with a single headshot.
“It’s something we can do for our employees. I am in a position to prevent Nuri from shaking so that I can pay my salary.”
“I understand. It’s also the fastest way for Phil-jung to learn business properly.”
“Please understand. I can promise you this one thing. I’ll make sure to keep my head down and when I shouldn’t.”
“All right.”
“Now that Manager Kang is gone, I have more work to do. Now, shall we drink coffee and get to work?”
Someone who can drive a tong truck is missing.
Although there is no scrap metal floating outside now, I didn’t know when and where I would have to go outside and pick up scrap metal.
‘I’m happy though. That I can drive a tong truck.’
The father said that the president should be able to fill the position no matter who one is missing.
According to his words, Si-Woo Lee has mastered all the necessary skills in the junk yard.
“president.”
“Yes, uncle.”
Choi Moon-sik, who was listening to the conversation, quietly called out Lee Si-woo.
Since Kang Pil-jung went to the sales side, he needed someone who could fill the position.
“I would like to run a tong truck.”
“Are you uncle?”
“There were many times when Manager Kang was absent due to an important task, and my brother and I were alone in the yard. Then I unloaded the goods with a tong truck or picked them up outside.”
Just knowing one didn’t mean you could work in a junkyard.
A structure in which everything is inevitably connected, whether directly or indirectly.
So, Choi Moon-sik learned how to use a tongs car in advance.
“Munshik rides a tong truck amazingly, boss.”
“Oh really?”
“yes. When Moonshik learned tongs, I learned the fork crane.”
talented staff.
Although older, they have done their best to help the junk dealer.
And it was only now that those efforts paid off.
“ah… … .”
“I also have that forklift license.”
It is something that cannot be pushed back in the certification battle.
Choi Moon-sik said as soon as Park Tae-moon finished speaking.
“I have a forklift license.”
“Looking at it this way, there are a lot of really talented people in our junkyard. Isn’t it?”
“The one who falls the most is on the list.”
“Huh, is that so?”
There was a saying that even the king swears when the king is not present.
Park Tae-moon, who raised the mood with the theme of Kang Pil-jung, who was away, gave a faint smile.
“No forklift, no forklift. To be honest, if he hadn’t learned the forklift, the only thing he could do was keep the yard. haha.”
“I hear unexpected stories.”
After that, Si-woo Lee continued the conversation with the two of them, joking around lightly.
Time to take a break while drinking coffee.
Siwoo Lee enjoyed this time the most.
Just talking with like-minded people can make you feel happy.
“Now, get up and go to work. And now I think I have to decide the ranks of both of them. Because I can’t use my name as uncle forever.”
I couldn’t speak to the elders.
Even as the president, Siwoo Lee didn’t want to do anything disrespectful.
“I only need to be higher than my literacy level.”
“Brother, don’t you know that a forklift driver’s basic job title is a general manager?”
“You boy, take care of your conscience. You are different from Piljoong, who has been working as a forklift for more than 10 years, isn’t it?”
Si-woo Lee, watching the two of them quarreling, smiled softly.
“Then Uncle Park will be the manager, and Uncle Choi will be the deputy manager. I will prepare a business card for you.”
“A business card? What a waste of money business cards… … .”
“Hey, I don’t even want a business card.”
“no. Both of you must have a business card. If I am not in the yard, I must have a business card for the guests who come.”
It didn’t cost a lot of money to sell business cards.
‘If you receive a business card with your rank, your attitude towards work will change from then on.’
“Hmm, I’m fine… … .”
“Think of it as a gift for the two of you.”
