[Episode 120] What is Landscaping?
The next day, as soon as Moon Jae-shin left for work, he took the field workers and moved to a place where used materials were stored.
“What is all this, Vice President?”
“The rebars that arrived from the field late last night. I worked hard with the CEO to get this down.”
It was a considerable amount.
Jin Jun-sik, who was looking at the rebar, immediately put the staff in.
“Working with a forklift would be convenient. Put the reinforcing bars on the tongs and tie them all up with wire.”
All the on-site staff stuck together and started working.
Siwoo Lee was now guarding the office.
The work that started early in the morning was finished later in the morning.
“This is a strange place to see and to see.”
A place where various rebars and pipes are neatly stored.
Directors were not allowed to come here.
It was a place that could only be entered with Siwoo Lee’s permission.
“I have decided to take responsibility for the management of this place from now on.”
“Did the representative allow it?”
“Since you allowed it, you must have the key.”
It was unfortunate.
Si-woo Lee never allowed even senior members of Nuri to visit this place.
It was the same with Moon Jae-shin.
Except for occasional times when things were going out or when things were coming in from the headquarters or other branches, Siwoo Lee was the only one who could freely go in and out of this place.
“It’s strange. I don’t think you were ever allowed to enter this place… … .”
“It’s not surprising. It’s such an important place, so it’s only natural that security should be thorough, right? If other employees come and go frequently, it will be difficult to manage.”
“Hmm, but where did these items come from? If the deputy chief knew about the site, I would have known it too.”
“Sale Construction.”
“Where else are you?”
“This is the site I found out this time, and they said they were building a large building.”
“Deputy Chief, isn’t it a stolen property?”
“It won’t hurt. I told you that we had sent the remaining rebar after construction was completed.”
“ah… So how do I get the bill?”
“I will take care of it myself. Look at something else.”
The workers cleared the rebar and returned to the shredding plant.
Moon Jae-shin, who was standing here alone, looked around with a new look.
‘Doing things alone… The representative is also great in many ways.’
To keep things neatly organized like this meant that the work was done quite a bit.
The ability of Si-woo Lee I checked yesterday was absurd.
But Moon Jae-shin was sure of it.
The reason Nuri was able to grow this far is because Siwoo Lee excels in all fields.
‘Then I’ll have to plan how I’m going to do business in the future. We need to create a space where the CEO can work comfortably.’
He said it required a lot of experience and research.
It was necessary to check every single thing that could be extracted from various types of waste.
There is a reason why Siwoo Lee revealed his secret.
In order to provide proper support, the first priority was to create a new space in which to move freely.
‘Isn’t the civil engineering work completed in the south?’
The crushing plant is located to the east.
The place where the used materials are located was on the other side of the west side.
Currently, civil engineering works were being carried out on a regular basis around Nuri, and there were places where civil engineering work was completed.
“We need to build a fence and strengthen our complement. And what if we plant trees around it?”
It was a place where the plan of enjoying the tree was established.
Even if civil engineering is developed, the tree cannot be cut down.
Trees have been used to purify the air, but they can also be blinds that block your vision.
After organizing his thoughts, Moon Jae-shin closed the door and brought the card key to the machine that activates complementation.
[Locked.]
In the modern era, security is paramount.
When he brought the security key, Siwoo’s cell phone vibrated.
When I turned on the security app on my phone, I saw Moon Jae-shin walking out of the door.
And about 10 minutes later, Moon Jae-shin entered the office.
“It’s all sorted out, sir.”
“You suffered. Do you have any plans for today?”
“Well… There are no plans for today.”
I checked my watch and stood up.
“Then I have an appointment, so I’ll go out.”
Gone are the days of leisurely work in the office like before.
It has become a job for Siwoo Lee to meet people.
Leaving the office with a light gait, Kim Jeong-nan finished the work that Si-woo Lee had done yesterday and ran to him.
“Everything you said yesterday is over, sir.”
Lee Si-woo smiled faintly at the appearance of Kim Jeong-nan revealing his bright eyes.
“You suffered. Please put the samples in front of the office.”
“yes!”
“I think I should go out for a while.”
“Bye.”
Being an arborist wasn’t that easy.
First, we needed a factor that could determine the lifespan of a tree.
The most accurate way to measure the age of a tree is to cut the tree and check the ring.
But when that happens, the tree cannot be brought back to life.
Today I wanted to meet with landscaping experts and ask them how to measure the age of a tree.
‘It is still a long way to form an arboretum, but preparations and plans must be prepared from now on.’
It takes several years to prepare for one important project.
If you run a business blindly without preparation, you will naturally become vulnerable to variables.
Of course, there was not one business that Siwoo Lee should be concerned about now.
However, now is the time to trust the seniors and focus on other things.
“I’ll see you, sir.”
After receiving the news that Si-Woo Lee was moving, Mu-Yeol Lee stood in front of the car.
It was unfamiliar to Si-woo Lee, who has become a daily life moving by himself.
“Ah, I should have told you the schedule in advance, but I’m not used to this either.”
“it’s okay.”
The secretaries were not yet organized.
Nuri’s directors, let alone those who hold secretarial positions, could not find work to do.
“Are you Seohwan Kim?”
“I was taken away by Chief Secretary Jang Han-seo. I think I’ll probably have to take turns serving as the representative one day at a time.”
shudder-
At the words of Mu-yeol Lee who opened the back seat door, Si-woo tilted his head.
“Why is Chief Secretary Jang Han-seo… … ?”
“Did the vice-president not speak yet? I heard that Jang Han-seo, chief of staff, asked for basic security skills for me and Seo Hwan.”
“Ah, I was distracted because something came in yesterday.”
Moon Jae-shin wanted to attach the two of them to Jang Han-seo and receive a proper education.
However, one attendant to accompany Si-Woo Lee, who had a lot of schedule, had to be placed at all times.
So, after consulting with Jang Han-seo, it was decided to teach the basics of Lee Mu-yeol and Kim Seo-hwan alternately one day at a time.
“Where would you like to go?”
“You can go to Gyeonggi Landscape.”
Landscaping was the industry best suited for planting and moving trees.
There were ecosystem experts, but Siwoo Lee needed advice from people working in the field.
Through Lee Mu-yeol’s training, he was able to arrive at a place called Gyeonggi Gyeonggi-do.
The most common tree used for landscaping was pine.
In particular, the abnormally curved pine tree has an unbelievable price.
The price is over 10 million won per pine tree.
In modern times, the image of trees as ornamental was strong.
Si-woo Lee, who arrived at a place called Gyeonggi Gyeonggi-do, got out of the car.
As I walked to the office made of container boxes, Lee Moo-yeol tilted his head.
“CEO, there is no proper office.”
Where the office is not properly formed.
It was a very poor environment in the eyes of others.
However, it was a place that should not be looked down on even if the environment looked poor.
“It is foolish to judge a company by its fragmentary appearance.”
Lee Si-woo, who smiled kindly at Lee Moo-yeol, walked to the office.
When I knocked on the door of the tightly closed office, Jo Il-chul, the representative of Gyeonggi-do, who was waiting for me, opened the door wide.
“Are you the representative of Cho Il-chul?”
“Yes, I am Cho Il-chul.”
“My name is Siwoo Lee, the CEO of Nuri Recycling, whom I contacted yesterday, sir.”
The man who looked to be in his mid-40s bowed his head at Siwoo Lee’s introduction.
“I heard from Chairman Inje-hoo. I was waiting for you because you said you would visit today.”
Make the most of your connections.
It was thanks to the introduction of Injehoo that I found out about Gyeonggi Landscape Architecture.
As Cho Il-chul bowed his head and held out his hand, Si-woo Lee took his hand politely.
“Come in, sir.”
Although he was a young representative, Cho Il-chul heard that he was a great person.
Siwoo Lee entered the office.
“I wanted to meet you in the main office, but he said he wanted to visit the site.”
Gyeonggi Landscape was a large company with annual sales exceeding 10 billion won.
Of course, there were also offices where office workers stayed.
However, since this is a place where trees are cultivated and sold to customers, the office was not properly equipped.
“I will visit this office later.”
“I heard that you are preparing a business called arboretum.”
“What do you think, President? Do you think this is a good business?”
It was fresh and new.
From the point of view of Il-chul Cho, who has devoted his life to the landscaping business, he thought that the arboretum business had a lot of potential.
“It will be difficult to start, but if the business is established properly, the profitability will be enormous.”
“It will probably take a lot of preparation. I hope the representative will help you a lot.”
“I will do my best to take care of you.”
Cho Il-chul, who he saw for the first time, bowed his head politely.
Jehu, who attended the business briefing, decided to invest in one day.
Gyeonggi Landscape Architecture was a company that had grown with the capital of the Jehu Group.
Although he helped Jehu Group’s golf course business, it was actually safe to say that it was a hidden affiliate of Jehu Group.
Although Cho Il-chul is the representative, 100% of the stake in Gyeonggi-do was owned by Injehoo.
“There are many things I want to ask you.”
Hearing Siwoo’s calm words, he nodded his head strongly and got up from his seat.
“First, let me show you the trees we are growing here.”
It was not a place where trees were next to each other like a mountain.
There was ample space for each tree.
“Is there a way to measure the age of a normal tree?”
“A commonly known method is to cut a tree to determine the ring. And in the case of pines, the bark is peeled to determine their age.”
“Hmm, what about the other trees?”
This was the most important.
Only when the age of the tree can be confirmed can we proceed with this business.
“There is such a thing as a digital age meter.”
“Hmm… Do you think it would be quite expensive?”
“It is not a device that general companies can obtain.”
Lee Si-woo’s eyes narrowed at the words that it was a device that could not be obtained arbitrarily.
“This sir.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Find out where digital age meters are being developed and researched.”
“All right.”
I didn’t mean to find out right now.
Lee Moo-yeol made a note in his notebook.
In order to become a arboretum, the distribution of digital annual ring meters had to be sufficiently achieved.
“Can you tell me the total number of employees in Gyeonggi Landscaping?”
“In the case of workers working in the field, they mainly use outsourcing. Currently, the company has about 50 employees.”
“The employees will be the succession of employment. The representative will remain in the position of representative.”
Gyeonggi Landscape Garden is no longer a hidden affiliate of the Jehu Group.
It becomes one of Nuri’s subsidiaries.
Injehoo decided not only to invest in cash, but also to transfer the management rights of the Gyeonggi landscaping here to Siwoo Lee.
There was no need for Nuri, which has not yet been listed, to form an affiliate.
But to prepare the arboretum, one had to have a decent landscaping company.
“I heard from Chairman Inje-hoo.”
“Aggressive investments will be made, and we will have to select a large number of employees who can move on-site rather than outsourced.”
“How much staff can we add?”
“It should be at least 100 people.”
This was possible because Gyeonggi Landscape was an unlisted company.
Instead of handing over the company to Siwoo Lee, Nuri should be responsible for all the funds going forward.
‘My head hurts thinking about the funds I have to return to Chairman Inje-hoo.’
Of course, if the arboretum business became huge and the value of landscaping increased, there was a high possibility that a portion of the investment recovery would be requested as a share.
“I will prepare according to the president’s words.”
“The official merger will probably be finalized by the end of next month.”
