[Episode 132] The outline is revealed
Seo Il-kwon’s eyes narrowed at the words that he had a family to protect.
What kind of banging sound is this?
Until he left for the mountains two years ago, Lee Min-goo was not married.
He was the one who said that he felt comfortable being alone even when Seo Il-kwon told him to meet such a good person and get married.
“What are you talking about? You have a family.”
“When I entered the mountain, he was the one who helped me for two years.”
“Then are you married?”
I explained to Seo Il-kwon about Kim Seol-ha’s mother and daughter.
When Lee Min-goo’s story was over, Seo Il-kwon laughed with an absurd expression.
“Are you going to take responsibility for your child? We’re not even dating yet. But there is no need to do that… … .”
Seo Il-kwon did not understand this situation.
He looked at him with negative eyes and suddenly shook his head strongly.
“No, no. It would be better for you too.”
“what?”
“If you have a family, you will never go back into the mountains, will you?”
“… I will never go back to the mountain again.”
“Okay then. You just need to be happy.”
Before leaving for the mountain, Lee Min-goo’s eyes were unstable.
He was empty like someone who would give up his life at any moment.
But not now.
It’s the first time I’ve seen such stable eyes since I’ve seen Lee Min-goo.
“Brother, I beg you. Can you help me?”
Seo Il-kwon sighed deeply at the sight of Lee Min-goo looking at him eagerly.
“If you leave irresponsibly this time, I won’t see you again.”
“You can do that. Because I will never leave.”
The determination on Lee Min-goo’s face was even revealed.
Kim Seol-ha’s mother and daughter were also the biggest reason.
And the second reason was Lee Si-woo, who appreciated his worth and persuaded him to come to the steep mountain without thinking.
“Any other kids?”
“I did tell the news to the kids I could contact. He will be here soon.”
“Who are those who can’t be reached?”
“Kangseon and Jinmok. I don’t know the contact details of the other three.”
“Leave out Kang Seon and Jin Mok. You are working with me right now.”
There were a total of about ten members who organized Seoil’s landscape from the beginning.
Se-jin Kang became an employee to take charge of accounting when Seo-il’s landscape architects were on track to some extent.
“okay?”
“Don’t try to contact the other three.”
“why?”
“I was attached to Kang Se-jin. pointless things.”
“It seems like a lot has happened in the past two years.”
“I don’t know for sure. But at some point, rumors circulated that he was working next to Kang Se-jin. It makes no sense to work for the top culprit who ruined their lives.”
It was sad.
If it was hard to live, would I get attached to Kang Se-jin?
But I had to think about it.
Was there really no one who helped Kang Se-jin manipulate Seo-il’s accounting?
Were you able to manipulate the accounting by yourself?
* * *
A month has passed, but there is still a long way to go before the Nuri landscape is back to normal.
However, the new Nuri landscape system was in the process of being outlined.
After receiving a call from Lee Min-goo, the people who rushed to Nuri decided to come.
Even after dealing with urgent matters, Si-Woo Lee was still restless.
The ossuary was being built steadily, and civil works were in full swing for the place to be used for the arboretum.
We had to make a road for cars to come and go and make a road for people to walk on.
Civil engineering works are taking place in two places.
Civil engineering work to level the site to be made into a shredding plant in Nuri has begun.
“The tree is twenty-one!”
The field workers who joined Nuri Gyeonggi-do were busily roaming the site.
With the help of Shin Won-sun, the work was carried out to check the age of the trees with five annual rings that were hard to obtain.
“Mark it correctly! Keep in mind that these trees are Nuri’s assets.”
A little bit of time has passed, and the number of field workers at Nuri Jojo has increased to 30.
Most of the people who believed in Lee Min-goo and moved to Nuri Landscape Architecture were veterans with more than 10 years of experience in landscape architecture.
Of course, there were a lot of people I knew on this floor.
In particular, it was common to meet other teams while working in the field, and we worked together on construction.
With those connections, Seo Il-kwon filled the field job.
“Most of the trees in this area are young, sir.”
In recognition of his experience of serving as a director at Seoil Gyeonggi-do, he appointed him as a director of Nuri Gyeonggi-do.
Si-woo Lee, who visited the place where the field staff moved, smiled faintly.
“It varies from district to district, but in general the trees in this area are younger, sir.”
“By the way… The problem is finding land to move these trees.”
Even if the age was indicated and the tree was classified, the problem was finding land to move these trees.
“I wish it was mountainous as much as possible. Once the trees are planted on the plains, it will cost a lot of money to water them.”
“Hmm, since CEO Lee is looking for a suitable terrain right now, we have to wait.”
Maintaining trees has significant fixed costs.
In particular, when trees are planted on flat ground, a huge amount of water must be supplied.
The problem is that the price per car is about 300,000 won to 500,000 won.
“The fixed expenses would be huge to manage these many trees. It might be cheaper to sell a lake instead.”
“I heard that the construction schedule was delayed by three months.”
“It is not something that can be delayed. We have to move the trees as quickly as possible and build a building on this land.”
“Let’s do whatever we can.”
In Nuri, even a single tree had to be conserved.
From now on, it was necessary to prepare and form a system so that the plan of arboretum could take place.
Seo Il-kwon, who was in charge of the scene, answered with eyes full of enthusiasm.
While sorting the trees was in progress, Park Soo-beom, who had not been seen for a while, came up the mountain.
Since it was a sorting process going all the way down from the top, Siwoo Lee stood at the top of the mountain.
“President Park?”
“Hey, you are here. I’ve been looking for you for a while, sir.”
“If you had contacted me, I would have gone down. I haven’t seen him for a while, so I was thinking about whether I should go to the head office.”
“I have been busy for a while because I have a lot of work to do.”
For a month, Park Soo-beom spent a hectic day to put down various projects and make new plans.
When the project was conceived to some extent, he met Lee Si-woo and tried to reveal his thoughts.
“Drink some water.”
Si-woo Lee, who had brought a bottle of bottled water for the employees who moved on site, handed it over to Park Soo-beom.
Behind Park Soo-beom, Kang Yi-seo, who had climbed the mountain with difficulty, could be seen.
“Secretary Kang, I need to get some exercise.”
“President… I’m an office worker… Of course, climbing a mountain is inevitably unfamiliar. ha… … .”
Park Soo-beom kicked his tongue at Kang Yi-seo’s harsh breathing and sat on the stone.
He also climbed the mountain for a long time, so he was physically limited.
“Then why did you come all the way here? If you were waiting in the office, I would have gone down… … .”
“I came here because I have something to tell you. There is something I want to tell you as soon as possible.”
I heard that Siwoo Lee was looking for a land to move the tree to.
When Shin Ae-ra said that she was worried about not having a suitable seat, Park Soo-beom made a serious decision.
“Tell me, Chairman.”
“Do you remember the site where I want to build a country house?”
“sure. I removed the waste there.”
“The country house site has been changed.”
“yes?”
About half of the civil works had already been completed.
Lee Si-woo blinked at the sudden news.
Of course, he was in a position to proceed with the ossuary project, but he was not qualified to be involved internally.
“Isn’t the civil engineering work halfway done? The sudden change of site… … .”
“When I was thinking about the ossuary project, I thought about what it would be like to build a country house in this area. It’s a charming enough place.”
“Ah, then why did you change the site of the country house?”
“yes. We want to form a country house complex near the village. Building an apartment would be unreasonable. I think this is a place that should be preserved as it is.”
Rather than increasing the floating population, it was better for the population residing in the main role to increase.
At Park Soo-beom’s words, Si-woo Lee sat down on the floor with a positive expression.
“I want to ask you why you suddenly changed your mind. Is it something that Chairman Shin Won-sun allowed? … .”
“You allowed it. And now Boseong will start to stand alone.”
“yes?”
Park Soo-beom has acted like Shin Won-seon’s vassal.
I didn’t know that was a normal thing to say.
When Boseong was first established, I was told that it had grown and maintained with the funds of Shin Won-sun.
But suddenly, at an important time, Boseong becomes independent?
“President Park.”
“It’s not like I’m distant from the old man. If that was the case, the old man would have run Boseong Construction himself.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Concerns arose that the relationship between Shin Won-sun and Park Soo-beom might have been broken.
Park Soo-beom and Shin Won-seon were both important to Lee Si-woo.
The sudden news of independence caused confusion for Si-woo Lee.
“CEO, even though Boseong declared independence, we will continue to cooperate with Nuri, and we will surely make the ossuary business a success with more aggressive investment.”
I didn’t understand why I was making the decision to myself.
But I don’t want to ask in detail.
I thought I’d wait until one day he would tell me why he made this choice.
“By the way, what is good news… … ?”
“Ah, the story went the other way. I will lend Nuri the land that was intended to form a rural housing complex in Boseong.”
“Is it real?”
The score was just right.
When he said that he would lend me that huge piece of land, Siwoo asked, as if it was hard to believe.
“What are you going to do with me lying? We need to decide on the rent for the land, but let’s go down and discuss it with Director Jin Eun-soo.”
The location was just right, and it wasn’t too far from here.
It was only natural that the closer the distance, the lower the shipping cost.
Although there were many areas that were leveled due to civil engineering work, I thought that the land was optimal for planting and planting trees.
I left the cleaning of the site to Seo Il-kwon and went down with Park Soo-beom.
“It will be autumn soon.”
Si-woo Lee, who came into the office, made coffee and handed it to Park Soo-beom.
“Isn’t it the right season to get the tree right and plant it in a new place? Whoops.”
“Then how much do you estimate the rent for the land?”
“This land was purchased by Boseong with a huge investment. Of course, even if the price of land was lower than in the downtown area, the price of land is now twice as high as before.”
When Boseong first bought the land, it was purchased at a price of 100,000 won per pyeong.
Since the land is 100,000 pyeong, a huge amount of about 10 billion won was invested.
And when civil engineering costs and waste treatment costs are combined, the rental cost could not be measured low.
“You have to take everything into account when deciding on the cost of the rental. I am well aware of President Park’s position.”
“So I ask. If Nuri hands over 100% of the stake in the ossuary to Boseong, I will not receive rental fees for the land.”
While talking with Park Soo-beom, Jin Eun-soo entered the office.
“What do you mean? You want me to hand over 100% of the stake in the ossuary to Boseong, Chairman Park.”
It was not that Nuri did not invest in the ossuary business.
Nurido had an influence on the ossuary business to the extent that a whopping 3 billion won was handed over to Boseong.
“Director Jin, let’s listen to Chairman Park’s words to the end.”
Lee Si-woo stopped Jin Eun-soo from seeing that he was trying to take a step back.
“It is to lend 100,000 pyeong of land without paying rent. Shouldn’t the Boseong side also take advantage?”
“It’s 100,000 pyeong… What does that mean?”
The land currently owned by Boseong was rising from 100,000 won to 250,000 won.
The reason was the sharp rise in land prices as a factory complex was built in that area.
“Chairman Park said he is moving the site of a housing complex to this area. And he said that he would lease the land of the original housing complex to Nuri.”
“Oh, but why all of a sudden?”
“Because I want to take responsibility for the ossuary business in Boseong.”
Jin Eun-soo looked at Lee Si-woo, who was struggling with Park Soo-beom’s powerful voice.
“To be honest, I know the value of the land, but Nuri also invested 3 billion won in the ossuary business.”
“Whenever Nuri wants to own the land, we will hand it over for 150,000 won per pyeong.”
As the years passed, the value of the land was more likely to rise.
The condition was that they would hand over the land at a low price if Nuri requested it at any time.
“good. I will hand over 100% of the stake in the ossuary to Boseong.”
“CEO!”
“That’s how you proceed, Director Jin.”
“… … .”
Even if Jin Eun-soo objected here, there was a high possibility that Lee Si-woo would not bend his will.
‘Director Jin may be opposing just thinking about it right away, but on the contrary, these conditions may be better for Nuri. Because the value of the land is not fixed, it is fluid.’
Park Soo-beom smiled at Lee Si-woo’s decision and said to Jin Eun-soo.
“You write a contract.”
“yes. I will prepare a contract and go directly to the Boseong headquarters, Chairman Park.”
