[Episode 17] Didn’t you know there would be another person like Jang Seong-woo?
As promised, a tong truck from The Esran company came into the junk yard.
The driver put the car on the weighbridge and got off.
His expression was somewhat dark and shady.
Si-Woo Lee made a tolerance check and rang the bell.
The knight, who appeared to be in his early 40s, came inside and bowed his head.
“Hey, can I just have a cup of coffee?”
When the knight asked for forgiveness, Si-woo Lee gladly nodded his head and made him a cup of coffee.
After drinking like that, Gong Tae-shik in a suit came into the office just as the tong truck was brought in.
“hello?”
“welcome.”
“Can I have a cup of coffee please?”
It was a spell that was no different from the forklift driver earlier, but he spoke as if it was too natural and sat down.
Maybe the first meeting wasn’t that good, and Siwoo Lee felt uncomfortable for nothing.
However, Si-woo Lee did not express his feelings and gave him a cup of coffee.
“Did only one knight come?”
“yes. There are two yardkeepers who live here, so I didn’t bring any more.”
“… … ?”
In general, the staff of the junkyard help the driver who comes to pick up the goods.
That’s because it’s your company’s situation.
But even so, it was impossible to make a request for granted.
“You’re a yard keeper. They are the manager and the deputy manager in charge of the yard.”
“What… Isn’t it like that or that?”
Upon hearing that, Siwoo wrinkled his face.
Although Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-shik were the people who managed the yard, they had a job.
I really didn’t like Gong Tae-sik, who called them yard keepers and treated them as if they were inferior.
“You two have work to do. Please help the driver when you are here, manager.”
Gong Tae-shik frowned at Lee Si-woo’s words.
Aren’t you a salesperson, not an employee who sweats and sweats on the site?
He thought he was fundamentally different from those people.
“under… Knight Kim, can you do it alone?”
“Yes, boss.”
Seeing the knight answering his eyes, Siwoo let out a small sigh.
Then he put on his work gloves and said to the driver.
“I will guide you. I’ll help you clean up the non-ferrous metal, so come in.”
“no. Even if I… … .”
At the bewildered voice of the knight, Siwoo stopped talking.
“If you go up and down by yourself, it will take more time.”
Hearing that, the knight nodded his head.
It was important to do this quickly.
As the loading of goods is delayed, it will cause inconvenience to customers who come to the junkyard.
Si-woo Lee opened the back door and guided the tong truck.
Park Tae-moon, who was in the yard, saw it and ran to him.
“Boss, I will do it with Deputy Manager Moon.”
“no. Cutting scrap metal with oxygen is more important. I’ll take care of this on my own, so when guests come, please do a little maintenance.”
I didn’t want Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-sik to work because I didn’t like Gong Tae-sik’s words, but they actually did.
Oxygen cutting of large scrap metal.
The larger the volume of scrap iron, the lower the unit price.
Therefore, the scrap metal had to be cut and prepared in advance.
gas and oxygen.
It was a structure to ignite the fire with gas and increase the fire power with oxygen.
It was also a job that could seriously injure you.
So it was better to do it with an experienced person.
When Park Tae-moon takes out bulky objects with an excavator, Choi Mun-sik cuts out scrap metal with oxygen.
The two of them had to breathe.
Siwoo Lee couldn’t use oxygen well, so he had to entrust all of this work to two people.
“I think it would be better to start with A first. There is only a small amount of B, so if you put it on top, it will be easier to get off.”
“Ah yes. Thank you for your help.”
‘Wow, I guess I’ll have to find another business partner. The sales manager is that person, so he won’t keep coming to the junk store.’
Just as there are no nobles in a profession, there are no nobles in ranks.
Of course, everyone’s work is different.
If the situation was urgent, a sales person could drive a forklift.
As proof against him, Kang Pil-joong was able to do most of the work in the junk yard.
Even if he worked as a forklift driver, he did many things in the yard when he had no other work to do.
Even though the representative, Si-Woo Lee, came out wearing gloves, Tae-Sik Gong stood far from behind and watched as they got on the car.
It’s natural to watch them loading things up, but Bo Hani seemed to know only one and not the two of them.
Before loading the car, it was necessary to check the small items in the sack one by one.
And I had to check out the strange things while helping the knight by the side.
It was so far away that I couldn’t really see it.
‘I only know about non-ferrous metals, I don’t know more about the field than I do.’
Wee-
As the tongs began to move, Si-Woo Lee stepped back.
It was dangerous to stay below, and it was only a hindrance to the knights.
The tongs picked up a roughly large object, and then started loading the sacks one by one.
If 500kg bags of small items are spilled, it will be difficult to get off.
Therefore, it was the skill of the tongsman to stack only the sacks one by one so as not to fall over.
At some point, I finished loading aluminum A.
The knight closed the tongs.
Then, I put a small piece of non-ferrous metal that had fallen on the floor inside the tongs.
One car was completed by repeating the same operation.
“ah… It’s a bit too much. I guess I’ll have to come back this afternoon to pick up the rest of the stuff.”
“Yes? It’s something I’ve been collecting for quite some time, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Siwoo Lee and the knight were talking together, and Taesik Gong approached.
“I have a next schedule, can’t we just pack them all together? Hey, Knight Kim. how is it? Do you think it is possible?”
“It seems difficult, boss.”
“Hmm, I think it will be difficult to come again today.”
At Gong Tae-sik’s words, Si-woo shrugged his shoulders.
“Then we’ll do the rest tomorrow.”
After loading the goods, the vehicle went up to the weighbridge.
Siwoo Lee made a payroll chart.
3,120 kg.
The total was 5616,000 won.
Aluminum A was the one that managed to pass 1 ton, usually once a month, if items were removed.
Aluminum is lighter than scrap metal and has a fairly large volume, so it was difficult to load more than 4 tons in one car no matter how stacked it was.
When Gong Tae-sik was talking to the driver after finishing the shift, Si-woo Lee breathed a sigh of relief in the office.
It may not be enough to make up for the lack of funds, but we can put out an urgent fire right away.
The salary of the three employees was almost 10 million won.
It was fortunate that I had to pay the three of them as soon as possible.
‘If you subtract the rest of the non-ferrous metal, you will get about a month’s salary for the employees. I’m happy though.’
At that time, after sending the article first, Gong Tae-sik entered the office with a sad look on his eyes.
“Hey, sir.”
“yes.”
“I would like to start weighing the following items at an authorized weighing station… … .”
“I think that would be difficult.”
“Ah, don’t be like that, there is an authorized weighing station right in front of you, and you weigh in there.”
“I don’t like it. If the weight of The S weighbridge and our weighbridge differ by more than 200kg, we can make some adjustments. But I don’t want to be weighed at an authorized weighing station.”
“If you are doing this because of the staffing expenses, our side… … .”
“Do you think I’m doing this just for ten thousand won?”
It costs 10,000 won to perform one weighing at an authorized weighing station.
Of course, if he could work properly, Si-woo Lee could only afford 10,000 won.
“… If you check in at an authorized checkpoint, we will give you an additional 100 won.”
It was strange.
Take the loss and ask an authorized weighing station to weigh it?
‘Ha, I didn’t know I would meet someone like Jang Seong-woo again.’
“You have no choice but to deal with the items you sent, so don’t come back to pick up the next item.”
“Yes?”
“You think I’m stupid, Manager Gong.”
“No, not that… … .”
A laugh came out of Shi-woo’s mouth.
A way to steal things.
It was obvious what Gong Tae-shik was thinking.
The goods could be removed before moving to the authorized weighing station, or they could be unloaded and weighed at the authorized weighing station.
“You don’t believe me? If it’s strange, you can accompany me to the authorized checkpoint.”
“Why do you have to stick with an authorized weighing station? It must have been the same weight as our weighbridge.”
“CEO.”
“I am well aware of how things are stolen. I’ve seen it happen too. Director Gong seems to be out of his mind right now.”
“Are you done talking now?”
Gong Tae-shik was no different from Jang Seong-woo.
They are full of bluffs on the outside, but rotten on the inside.
Siwoo Lee hated this type of person the most.
I’ve already seen a lot of blood because of Jang Seong-woo, but I didn’t know that insects would entangle like this again.
“You go. I’m sorry Director Jin, but he’ll probably understand.”
“No, I don’t want to tell Director Jin about this… … .”
“why? Do you think I can’t?”
“… sorry. Can you please forget my suggestion?”
“Why me?”
“Ugh… I will raise the unit price by 100 won more.”
Taesik Gong made another mistake.
Closing someone’s mouth with money.
Unable to bear it any longer, Si-Woo Lee took the phone in his hand.
Then, I immediately called Jun-sik Jin.
[Yes, Mr. Lee.]
“Director Jin, I’m sorry, but I’m having a bit of a problem. Could you please come to the junkyard?”
[I don’t know what’s going on, but I think it will take about 30 minutes, are you okay?]
“yes. Then I will wait for you.”
People like Gong Tae-shik did not change even if they talked.
It’s just that the situation at that time can be escaped.
Gong Tae-shik tried to stop Lee Si-woo from raising his cell phone, but it was already too late.
Gong Tae-shik bit his lip.
“Dae, representative, please save me.”
“Why me?”
“I am also the head of a family.”
“If you are as proud as you were to me, you can do the same to Director Jin.”
Gong Tae-sik, thinking that Si-woo Lee did not speak at all, hurriedly left the office.
He was thinking of getting lost.
I wondered if Jin Jun-sik would believe the young man’s words.
There was no evidence.
Twenty minutes after Gong Tae-sik left as if running away, Jin Jun-sik entered the junkyard.
“Chief, what’s going on?”
What was surprising was that not only Jin Jun-sik but also Moon Jae-shin came along.
Ishiu took a deep breath.
“It’s a problem… what happened? When I talked to Director Jin, he was by my side, so I came with him.”
“Sorry for making you step forward.”
“no. I would like to hear the detailed story.”
Moon Jae-shin recalled Si-woo Lee’s serious voice coming through the phone.
He didn’t want his relationship with Lee Si-woo to be broken.
Therefore, The Esra was the one that connected the company.
Siwoo Lee delivered the words of Taesik Gong as they were.
Jin Jun-sik and Moon Jae-shin, who were quietly listening to the story, became increasingly hard.
“Whoa, this is so… I’m sorry. Director Jin, do you understand without telling me what to do?”
“Yes, sir.”
“It seemed that my man was not very good… How foolish, foolish.”
“I should have chosen the company more carefully… I’m sorry, Mr. Lee.”
Of course, looking at it right now, it was beneficial to accept Gong Tae-sik’s proposal.
That’s why the incidental income will increase.
However, Siwoo Lee did not want to make money by deceiving others like that.
At least, I wanted to be the owner of a junk dealer who was proud of myself and my father.
“Even if I accept the offer, it will not hurt me. But I don’t want to deceive my business by doing it this way.”
“I understand.”
Moon Jae-shin had a sorry expression on his face, but inside he was proud of Lee Si-woo.
If the work was carried out according to the official method, the side income that came in was not small.
Yet, for the sake of his conscience, he refused it and showed the courage to accuse it.
Anyway, he was a great young man.
“He came dressed in a very casual suit and tried to harass Manager Park and Assistant Manager Choi.”
While talking, Siwoo Lee was a little hard to keep his cool.
It was because Jang Seong-woo and Gong Tae-shik overlapped, and he was trying to overflow with anger.
Moon Jae-shin understood him, so he just watched.
“They are my employees, and they are the ones I pay salaries. I couldn’t help but see outsiders giving orders.”
If Si-Woo Lee had been patient and had summoned Tae-Moon Park and Moon-Sik Choi to work, he would have regretted it forever.
Jin Jun-sik made an apologetic look at Gong Tae-sik’s behavior that did not respect the basic manners between business partners.
“I apologize on my behalf. sorry.”
“no. Director Jin, what is there to be sorry about? It was that person who made the mistake. Even when I went out and cleaned the non-ferrous metal with the driver, he was watching from behind with his arms crossed.”
“yes? Is that really?”
“It must have been that he didn’t want to get the suit he was wearing dirty.”
Jin Jun-sik, as well as Moon Jae-shin, widened their eyes.
It’s like you’ve become a boss, and you’re trying to harass the representatives of your business partners.
“ah… … .”
“Actually, Director Jin introduced me to this place, so I tried to bear with it up to that point. To be honest, I just need to take care of my people and earn money proudly. However, when they offered to work at an authorized weighing station and offered to increase the unit price by 100 won, they couldn’t stand it.”
“… … .”
“You did me a good thing, and I’m sorry that it turned out like this.”
“no. I am sorry.”
It didn’t matter if it was the end of the story or if it was just a rant.
Si-woo Lee didn’t want to see artists like Jang Seong-woo install it anymore.
I didn’t want any company to be harmed by such people.
Fortunately, there was a spark in the eyes of Moon Jae-shin and Jin Jun-sik.
