[Episode 153] Arrangement of Relationships
Jeil Cement CEO Lim Ji-ho frowned.
“I have been told that Boseong Construction can stop trading.”
“suddenly? what is this sound!”
Im Ji-ho jumped up from his seat at the sudden news.
Instead of trading Nuri’s waste, Cheil Cement has acquired important customers.
“And there are strange rumors going around. It is said that Sanpo Cement is approaching Nuri.”
“What? What do you miss about Sanpo?”
Sanpo was a large corporation in the cement industry.
It was also a company that has been loved as a cement company for a long time.
It was Sanpo that immediately surpassed the level of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“I don’t know how things are going, but even though CEO Lee Si-woo thinks positively about the deal with Sanpo… … .”
“It looks like I’m competing with Sanpo. Damn it!”
“and… CEO Siwoo Lee declined our request to meet. It seems that he noticed that he was trying to connect the position with CEO Kang Se-jin.”
I was asked by Kang Jae-jin and tried to set up a separate seat for me.
However, all these efforts of Lim Ji-ho were in vain.
“… how? Is it possible to know that it has been pursued without anyone knowing?”
“Sir, it’s not that serious. We have to move quickly, otherwise it may become difficult for our customers and even to bring the shredded waste.”
The amount of waste Nuri supplied to Cheil Cement was close to 6,000 tons per month.
And they were in a position to print cement through a huge amount of waste.
“What will be the damage if Nuri stops doing business with us?”
“It will be serious. Neither in this area nor nationally, there is no place that exceeds the amount of waste Nuri supplies.”
“ha… You’re going to get stabbed in the back like this.”
“We need to put aside our promises with CEO Kang Se-jin and meet and pray with CEO Lee Si-woo.”
The decrease in the amount of waste supplied was also serious.
However, the bigger problem was that the moment Boseong Construction stopped trading, it was self-evident that numerous customers would also fall away.
“Should I pray to CEO Lee Si-woo? Hey… … .”
“CEO, we have to look at the reality.”
“Jaesik, no… I am the CEO of a company that earns more than 30 billion won a year, isn’t it too much to borrow from that young guy?”
Lim Ji-ho didn’t know too much about reality, but he didn’t know too much.
It was the place where the greatest influence of cement was exerted.
As soon as the establishment of the incinerator was completed and started operation, Nuri’s status would be higher from then on.
“We have to look to the future. As soon as the incinerator is operated, the status of Nuri will change from then on.”
“Yeah, but… … .”
“We have to bring incinerated ashes from Nuri. If that happens, there will be no company in this country that can ignore us.”
The status of Cheil Cement has changed in the past year, when the deal with Nuri Recycling began in earnest.
Until then, it was in the third finger in this region, but now it is in the tenth finger in the entire Gyeonggi Province.
It was the influence of Nuri that allowed it to become the best cement company in the region.
If Lim Ji-ho had not done useless things at the request of Kang Se-jin, he might not have been able to continue this status.
“… Director Hwang, even if the deal with Nouri is cut off, we have no regrets.”
Director Hwang Jae-sik frowned at Lim Ji-ho’s words.
He still didn’t realize how important Nuri was.
“The moment the transaction with Nuri ceases, Cheil Cement will not last even a month.”
“… The reason is?”
“Do you know how many bonds of Cheil Cement in Boseong? Hell will begin from the moment the relationship with Nouri deteriorates.”
Boseong did not move to a monthly payment system for used cement.
After paying 20 billion won a year to Cheil Cement in advance, it was in the process of maintaining the transaction by issuing bonds.
“Come to think of it… At the end of the year, the bonds of Boseong were newly issued, didn’t they?”
“Have I not said many times that bonds are like a leash? I said several times that the moment we touched Nuri’s heart, the bond would turn into a knife and cut through our best.”
At first, I liked the huge amount of money coming in.
Hwang Jae-sik said that he should be wary of Boseong’s proposal, but Lim Ji-ho foolishly accepted the proposal after only seeing immediate benefits.
“… How much is the bond?”
“25 billion. Last year, we had about 5 billion in bonds.”
“You mean I have to vomit up 25 billion right now?”
“If the transaction with Nuri ceases, Bosung’s bonds will move.”
Lim Ji-ho put his hand on his forehead.
If Boseong moved the bond, the best cement was the end.
Even Lim Ji-ho, whose head did not turn, could not have known this.
“I should go to Nuri recycling right away. Director Hwang, please go with me.”
“I will.”
Ji-ho Lim was sent alone, but he didn’t know what kind of Satan would happen again.
Hwang Jae-sik hurriedly grabbed the car keys and stood up.
I had to change Siwoo’s heart.
Otherwise, the best would collapse before even trying to fix it.
* * *
There is a proverb that the crotch splits when the bird tries to follow the stork.
The situation most suited to this proverb was created.
“The sunrise landscape will be under increasing pressure, sir.”
“It would be daunting just to maintain 20,000 trees.”
“At the beginning, it was unreasonable to imitate the landscape of Nuri.”
Lee Si-woo nodded at Lee Mu-yeol’s report.
There’s no need to drag it out.
However, in order to get back the 20,000 trees that were intercepted in the sunrise landscape, Cho Il-chul has to face more difficulties.
“It’s not because I put so much time and effort into it. I think Kang Se-jin is getting impatient.”
“I will. The plan to use the CEO of Cheil Cement to meet the CEO will fail.”
“How many bonds have been issued by Cheil Cement?”
“Bonds issued in the name of Boseong are about 25 billion won.”
“Prepare to buy those bonds from Boseong.”
“All negotiations have already been completed. As soon as the CEO’s permission is granted, the bond will be owned by Nuri.”
There were countless opportunities to stop trading with Cheil Cement when Nuri was on track to some extent.
Still, since it was the first cement company to do business with, Siwoo Lee wanted to continue the business as much as possible.
“Is the negotiations with Sanpo going well?”
“of course. Since we are a large company in the cement industry, we will be able to deliver waste at a unit price that is incomparably higher than that of Cheil Cement.”
Lee Si-woo sighed at Lee Mu-yeol’s satisfactory answer.
I was working overtime because of one person named Kang Se-jin.
With a tired expression on his face, Siwoo buried himself deeply in the chair and closed his eyes.
smart.
Then, a knock was heard.
Siu Yi said in a tired voice.
“Come on in.”
Jin Eun-soo, who entered the representative room, scratched her head.
“The CEO of Cheil Cement has come. What should I do?”
“You must have come with a person named Jae-sik Hwang, right?”
“yes.”
He has no ability and only has a tendency to be greedy.
It was Lim Ji-ho who lacked qualifications as a businessman.
The reason he can maintain the best cement is because he has a talented person named Hwang Jae-sik by his side.
Shi-woo was well aware of that fact.
“Come in, please.”
“Yes, sir.”
As Jin Eun-soo left the representative office, Lee Si-woo looked at Lee Mu-yeol, who was sitting in front of him.
“Don’t go out, stand behind me.”
Usually, when guests came, Siwoo Lee often dealt with him alone.
However, this face-to-face meeting with Ji-ho Lim could be the end of the deal.
I had to be prepared for any unforeseen variables.
Im Ji-ho and Hwang Jae-sik, who entered the representative room following Jin Eun-soo’s guidance, bowed their heads.
“How have you been, sir?”
“Was the representative doing well? What did you come here for?”
“Haha, we’re not in a hurry to meet up for work, are we?”
Lee Si-woo raised the corner of his mouth when he saw Lim Ji-ho greeting slyly.
“Were we that close?”
“I am sorry to say that. It has already been two years since Nouri and Jeil made a deal.”
“Looking like that, time flew by so quickly.”
During those two years, Si-woo Lee and Ji-ho Lim met and talked only three times.
I met Park Soo-beom for the first time and met him twice starting from the day we met by chance.
“CEO, there was a strange rumor… … .”
Like Lim Ji-ho, who has a quick temper, before even sitting down, he frowned and shed his words.
“I was going to tell you, but it’s good. We would like to stop trading with Nouri Cheil Cement. After all, the time specified in the contract has passed.”
Every year, Nuri and Jeil renewed their contracts.
The period specified in the contract has already passed, and a new contract has not been signed.
“Suddenly, what does this mean… … .”
“At the tax accountant’s request, Se-jin Kang, he tried to set up a bridge with me.”
“That is a misunderstanding.”
“Get me wrong… So does that mean I’m wrong?”
“I have never been asked by tax accountant Kang Se-jin.”
Hwang Jae-sik, who was watching Lim Ji-ho’s step, rushed out.
“CEO, it was difficult to refuse the request of tax accountant Sejin Kang. sorry!”
Im Ji-ho wrinkled his impression at Hwang Jae-sik’s candid remarks in a situation where he said no.
“Director Hwang, what are you doing now… … !”
“Chief, stay still! This is the place where we have come to acknowledge our mistakes and apologize.”
“Jaesik Hwang!”
“sorry. There was a situation where our representative could not refuse the request of tax accountant Sejin Kang.”
Lim Ji-ho bit his lip as he bowed 90 degrees and apologized.
He still didn’t seem to know what he had done wrong.
‘Then I have to let you know.’
I didn’t ask such a question without proof.
Si-woo Lee looked at Mu-yeol Lee standing behind him, and he took out his cell phone.
Then a familiar voice came from the phone.
[Did you say it was a request from tax accountant Kang Se-jin?]
[Yes, CEO Lim Ji-ho. If you can make a place for our CEO and CEO Lee Si-woo to meet, I will give you what you want.]
[It’s what you want… I heard that the Jinhan group is very interested in building fortresses, can you make a place for Jinhan?]
[If the seats are made, I will strongly recommend Cheil Cement to customers of Sejin Tax Office.]
[Isn’t it easy to make a seat? After all, it is a place where we have been doing business with Cheil for a long time.]
Tiling-
Lee Moo-yeol, who turned off the recording stored on his cell phone, stared at Lim Ji-ho coldly.
“Did you think that you would stop trading with Cheil Cement without evidence?”
Lim Ji-ho’s eyes suddenly widened at the cold voice.
I don’t know where he got it, but it’s clear that he and the person at the Sejin tax office were talking on the phone.
“Boseong has decided to purchase bonds issued by Cheil Cement on Nuri. Tomorrow, bond enforcement will begin.”
“CEO! You’re going to give me a period, so you’re going to start executing your bonds all of a sudden? And we issued bonds to Boseong, not Nuri!”
Lim Ji-ho was terrified when he heard that the execution of the bond was about to begin.
I really didn’t know Shi-woo would do this.
“It was Kang Se-jin who touched me while I was still. The act of trying to take advantage of Nuri by holding hands with such a person cannot be tolerated.”
“Daddy, sir… Please watch it once. How can you pay off 25 billion bonds in one lump sum?”
“That’s not mine, it’s Cheil Cement’s.”
Lim Ji-ho trembled at Lee Si-woo’s cold voice.
Hwang Jae-sik’s expression, standing behind him, changed to resignation.
Obviously, before coming here, Hwang Jae-sik advised that he should unconditionally admit his mistake and pray.
However, contrary to the words, it was not Lim Ji-ho.
‘If it wasn’t for the company’s representative… … .’
I would have grabbed it right now on the spot.
Hwang Jae-sik had never even heard of that call.
I was just saying that it was hard to say no because I was close with Kang Se-jin for a long time.
“Captain Lee, as planned, start executing the bond from tomorrow. 25 billion in bonds, you will have to pay them all.”
“The Strategic Secretariat will take responsibility and collect all the bonds. If there is no money, I will take even the right to operate Cheil Cement.”
