[Episode 13] Is Kang Pil-joong’s Small True Value?
As promised, Kang Hyeon-seok brought the scrap metal he had left in the yard of his house in succession.
Kang Hyun-seok, who had no equipment, had to load scrap metal into the car by hand.
Of course, it took time to load it into the car.
Today alone, Kang Hyun-seok made two more round trips.
Two light cars and one heavy car brought in the morning.
It was very rare for a reporter to bring such a large quantity.
‘There are definitely no guests.’
Except for Kang Hyun-seok, there were only two more cars.
Fortunately, there is only one regular between the two cars.
In the future, the regular would continue to bring scrap metal through Nuri recycling again from tomorrow.
“The aluminum work is finished, boss.”
“You suffered. by the way… We will have to re-engage with customers who take non-ferrous metals.”
“Hmm, if you can’t go out because you’re worried about the yard, there’s no need for that.”
“More than that, I want to put a face stamp on the customers.”
“but… Customers also have to see the new owner’s face often.”
Making friends with guests.
Most of the guests were my father’s age.
There were people who had seen Siwoo Lee since he was a child, but there must have been new regulars.
Park Tae-moon’s help was desperately needed in that part.
“There must be people who think it’s bad for a young guy to hear his boss.”
Siwoo Lee could have predicted.
Obviously there are people like that.
In the past, there were people who complained that Siwoo Lee often met his parents well.
“Who says that? I don’t know who he is, but don’t worry too much about it.”
“Now you will hear it often. Other junk dealers will try to disparage me somehow.”
“but… Those humans are the ones who will remain, but… … .”
“So there are some things that I want to be more in the yard. I have to show diligence so that even if the guests hear it, they will not ignore it.”
Shi-woo had his own thoughts.
Seeing his premiere, Park Tae-moon was no longer worried.
Si-Woo Lee, Tae-Moon Park, and Moon-Sik Choi had a brief conversation before leaving the office at the office.
In the meantime, I was able to find someone coming inside through CCTV.
Lee Si-woo said that he looked very familiar.
“Director Kang is here.”
“Are you writing?”
It was Kang Pil-jung, who decided to go to work with Myeongsan Steel from today and learn business.
Kang Pil-joong immediately entered the office and bowed his head.
“I’m here, boss.”
“You can’t come here. Did you finish work earlier than that?”
“It was the first day today, so I only learned the basics of sales. And since you are getting paid by the boss, shouldn’t you have your face stamped once a day?”
Kang Pil-joong sat down with a faint smile.
“Piljungah, I was promoted to manager. And Moonshik is the deputy chief.”
“Oh, I missed a day yesterday, but a lot has changed. Congratulations.”
“Now, let’s do well with the same managers.”
“Yes, Manager Park.”
Kang Pil-joong smiled happily and talked with Park Tae-moon.
At that time, Kang Pil-joong said to Lee Si-woo, who was looking at him with a gentle smile, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“Director Jin said that the price of scrap metal is likely to rise by 10 to 20 won within the next week.”
Siwoo Lee already knew that 40 won rose in a month.
It was perfectly normal for him, but Siwoo Lee pretended to be very surprised.
“Are you going faster than you think?”
“The amount of scrap metal we have right now is huge, but we need to collect it as much as possible.”
“I agree. But starting today, we are accepting guests… … .”
There were many different ways in which antique dealers received goods.
There was also a way to bring it from the factory or the field through reporters who came directly to the junkyard, or through sales.
However, since there was no one available for business now, Nuri Recycling had no choice but to rely on walkers.
“So I called the scene. Jang Seong-woo is approaching, but I’m sure I’ll be able to bring things from the scene once I start moving.”
“Hmm… … .”
“I heard from people in the field that the amount suggested by Jang Seong-woo was 230 won without the bill. I want to eat it completely raw.”
Nuri Recycling was able to match the amount up to 250 won if the bill was removed.
And if the product is better, I was thinking of buying it by raising 10 won more.
‘We have an advantage in unit price competition. To find out the unit price of the other party, it wasn’t a bad decision to appoint Manager Kang as the sales manager.’
The unit price of the junkyard is not disclosed.
However, Kang Pil-joong was the person who had maximized his friendship with the people in the field while working for the tongs.
His performance was to be expected.
“Then are you learning how to trade?”
“I plan to go around with Director Jin and visit the site whenever I have free time. Of course, learning how to trade is important, but isn’t it more important than that to help you?”
“It is.”
“I also asked for your understanding in advance to Director Jin.”
Kang Pil-joong was planning to go around the field starting tomorrow and have various experiences.
I was thinking of seeing and learning from Jin Jun-sik’s side.
“The unit price is… You can adjust the weight from 250 won to 260 won, and light weight from 220 won to 230 won. However, it is the amount after deducting the bill. Also, be aware that if you transact in cash without a bill, you get 20 won off.”
“Okay, boss.”
* * *
Si-woo Lee was standing in front of the quiet scrapyard after all the employees had finished their work.
He had a complicated mind.
My father was the one who told me what the junk dealer values and how to manage it, and it was Jang Seong-woo who told me about the types of scrap metal and various magazines.
When Si-Woo Lee first started working, Seong-Woo Jang provided various knowledge frugally.
However, as time passed, Si-woo Lee increased his excavator skills one by one, and Jang Seong-Woo’s check-in began from then on.
‘I was like that from the beginning… It may not be completely wrong… … .’
What Park Tae-moon said was not wrong.
The reason Jang Seong-wu was so kind to Lee Si-woo one by one was obviously to ease his work.
And in order to properly pamper Lee Si-woo, who is still awkward.
“Father, what should I do?”
Siwoo looked up at the sky and muttered.
What would your father do in this situation?
Would you have embraced Jang Seong-wu?
Or did you throw it away?
* * *
Si-woo Lee woke up early in the morning and used his scrap-making ability.
Whatever the case, this ability had to be used unconditionally once a day.
If you use it consistently for 30 days, you will accumulate 30 tons of scrap metal.
In terms of the amount currently being traded, that amounted to 8.7 million won.
‘I mean, I’m still stumped. Maybe I’ve already been struck by lightning and died, but maybe I’m still dreaming with regrets?’
Siwoo still couldn’t believe it.
I was confused as to whether the unrealistic scene unfolding in front of me was real or a dream.
But apart from that, this ability was a great opportunity for him.
After sorting out the scrap metal, Siwoo Lee opened the door wide.
Before 8 o’clock in the morning, Kang Pil-joong’s car entered the parking lot.
He parked the car and went inside and bowed his head toward Siwoo Lee in the yard.
“Aren’t you going to work at Myeongsan today?”
“I decided to go in the afternoon. You haven’t started working yet, so can you talk comfortably?”
“Sure.”
“You know the industrial complex being built right in front of you? The person in charge there is a little acquainted with me. I got a call from there asking me to get some stuff out today. So, I will go to the forklift and have a conversation with the foreman.”
Kang Pil-joong has been working diligently since morning.
Siu Yi nodded at his explanation.
“The person in charge will come along with the items later. Then you can say hi.”
“Are you already doing something?”
“You have to be diligent. Siu, I still have a long way to go before I can make you money.”
Kang Pil-joong looked at Lee Si-woo with affectionate eyes.
Although Siwoo Lee was young, he knew how to move people’s hearts.
When he bowed his head to the people of Myeongsan-cheol, Kang Pil-joong made a resolution in his heart.
‘I’ll do my best to raise you to the top spot.’
I wanted to make it so that Siwoo would never have to bow his head again, so that he would never go anywhere.
Until now, there was no place in the industry called junk dealers to rise to the ranks of large corporations.
There was no place called a corporation, let alone large corporations.
Only the steel mills heard the word “corporate” on this floor.
“Thank you, boss.”
“What are you thankful for? When you get paid, you have to do your best. I will change into work clothes.”
“yes.”
Kang Pil-jung, who went into the office and started the tong truck, took it out in his work clothes.
Clothes embroidered with ‘Nuri’ on the chest.
It was a workwear made with a top and a bottom in one.
It was custom-made by former CEO Do-woon Lee for convenience and a sense of belonging to those working in the field.
Kang Pil-joong changed that outfit today with a proud face.
Burleung-
“I will go. president.”
“drive safely. Have a good trip.”
“yes!”
Before departure, I opened the car door and Kang Pil-joong greeted me.
Siwoo Lee also waved at him.
Eventually, the car left the yard, and Si-woo Lee, who was left alone, entered the office.
8:30.
Si-woo Lee was counting the tonnage of scrap metal that came in yesterday at the office.
At that time, Moonsik Choi opened the door of the junkyard and entered.
He went to work 30 minutes early, thinking that he would never be late today.
“I have come. president.”
“Are you here early today?”
“There is a competition like this, so I might go to work at 7 o’clock like before. haha.”
Park Tae-moon’s personality was arrogant.
Above all, the competitive spirit was very strong.
Obviously, if he found out that Choi Moon-sik had come earlier than him today, he might have come earlier tomorrow.
“Don’t do that. It’s going to be a mess when you decide to go to work, deputy chief.”
“But you can’t hear me being teased every day, can you?”
“I will tell the manager. I understand coming 10 minutes early, but not 30 minutes or an hour early.”
Choi Moon-sik, who came out of his work clothes, was standing in front of the office stretching.
Siwoo Lee brewed a cup of coffee for him and handed it to him.
Choi Moon-shik said thank you and looked around, sipping coffee.
“what? Where did the tongs go, sir?”
“Ah, Manager Kang came early in the morning and took him away. They say they bring things from the field.”
“It’s also Phil-jung’s older brother.”
Not long after, Park Tae-moon went to work and announced the start of the day.
Kang Pil-joong went to the scene with a tong truck at 8 o’clock, and returned to the junkyard after an hour.
He entered the yard and put the car on the weighbridge, opened the door and came out.
“I’m home.”
“What kind of thing is it?”
“It’s light and heavy and mixed, but the weight is more important, boss.”
As Kang Pil-joong entered the office and was explaining what it was, a strange man entered the junkyard.
There was a high probability that it was probably the foreman of the field mentioned by Kang Pil-joong.
A man who crossed the yard to the front of the office wrote down the numbers on the counter on a piece of paper.
profit-
When he heard the door open, the man turned his head to confirm.
And when he opened the door and confirmed that the person who came in was Siwoo Lee, he nodded.
“hello. It is the wall of Boseong Architecture.”
“Welcome, officer.”
“The tonnage is considerably higher than I expected. When I gave it to another junk dealer, it didn’t come out this much weight… What would be the empty weight?”
The man turned his head and looked at Kang Pil-jung and asked.
“Generally, it comes out from 13.4 tons to 13.5 tons. It even has magnets on it, so it will probably come out like that.”
The number displayed on the computer was 18,890 kg.
I’ll have to check the tolerance, but it weighed about 5,500kg.
“Do you think you were carrying something like this back then?”
It could have been a bit harsh.
However, from the perspective of a person whose main occupation was architecture, the weight of scrap metal was very important.
“okay? There are differences in the scales of each junk shop.”
“At that time, it weighed about 4 tons. Hmm, well, this has already passed.”
A man whose face hardens at the weight as soon as he arrives without even saying hello.
He met Kang Pil-joong at a junk dealer he was working with, and he was a friend who developed into a relationship with a drink of soju.
“Sir, shouldn’t we take a look at the items first?”
“Yeah, you can check it as you get off. You know you have to put down the light weight and the weight separately, right?”
“of course.”
