[187] New Material Announcement
The strategic secretariat and audit office neatly organized the plan prepared by Ha Jin-ik.
Due to this incident, Daehan had to take care of himself for a while.
It was fortunate that it was before the announcement of the new material was made.
“How are you going to organize Ha Ji-ik? You’re a drug addict, so you’re going to do a lot of bleaching, right?”
As the crackdown on drugs increased, the methods of avoidance of drug addicts developed unexpectedly.
It is a well-known fact that the test results in negative results when you bleach your hair.
And recently, a machine that removes the drug’s ingredients from the body has been developed.
It makes no sense that a wealthy chaebol could not use such a machine.
“Even if it’s not drug-related, Ha Ji-ik won’t be able to revive anyway. ‘Cause I’ll make it happen don’t worry.”
In the car on the way home from meeting Ha Ha-jin-seo and Ha Ha-jin-ik, Si-woo Lee looked out the window.
Fortunately, thanks to Ha Ji-ik’s stupid behavior, the worries disappeared.
If we sign an agreement with Korea on new material technology, the checks will not be severe.
As he said to Ha Jin-seo, he was sincere to maintain a monopoly on the recycling industry so that he could not play with the unit price.
But there was another reason.
This is in order to minimize the check of Daehan Steel as much as possible.
Unless we share how to recycle new materials, we can’t compete with Gangdong in Korea.
Why?
If you use the method normally used to recycle steel, the efficiency will not come out.
Daehan and the prince had to collect the incoming new materials separately and hand them over to Gangdong.
Unless we have developed our own technology, we can’t be beaten by a strong force.
“And even if I don’t come forward, I’m going to abandon Ha Ji-ik in Daehan.”
“Actually, looking at CEO Ha Jin-seo’s expression, it seems like he won’t let it go.”
“What kind of money does blood give away?”
From Siwoo’s point of view, I didn’t understand.
Of course, the Daehan group was a place to be greedy.
Still, it is in the top ten among Korean companies.
“Fortunately, the Strategic Secretariat quickly figured it out and organized it. I would have never been able to prepare for it.”
“I know. Think of it as luck that it ended like this.”
If I had not prepared for this event, the announcement of the new material would have been a mess.
And what if Shin Ae-ra was kidnapped?
I didn’t want to even think about it.
* * *
The announcement of a new steel material by Gangdong, which had been foretold a month ago, has begun.
We have already finished the equipment on the production line, and we are ready to start production tomorrow.
In fact, the new material was developed five months ago.
It’s just that the release date was delayed due to fair and various tests on the line equipment.
The dream of the steel industry was to reduce the weight of steel.
The emergence of new materials that are much lighter, tougher and stronger than other products has energized the steel industry.
“You’re lucky, Jinik-ah.”
“Ah, father… … .”
“Thanks to the announcement of the new material, all four articles were buried.”
Ha Jin-ik, who was trembling on his knees in front of Ha Jun-cheol, the head of the Daehan group, looked at him with sorrowful eyes.
He was a son who threw away the opportunity he had given himself and went into the dung bin.
Whether it was taking drugs or touching Lee Si-woo, I could close my eyes to whatever he did.
However, trying to touch Ha Jin-seo was absolutely unacceptable.
“Isn’t Chairman Siwoo Lee really merciful? If you want your article to stand out, you can delay the announcement of the new material a little longer, but he did not do that.”
“… … .”
“What do you think is the reason?”
“That’s it… Announcing new materials is just as important… … .”
“tt, you poor bastard.”
Ha Jin-ik’s one-dimensional thinking kicked his tongue.
Ha Jun-cheol took a deep breath and asked Ha Ha-jin-seo, who was sitting next to him drinking tea.
“Jin-seo, what do you think?”
“Rather than a warning… I see it as a kind of consideration. Chairman Lee Si-woo is not foolish enough to turn the Daehan Group as an enemy.”
“That’s about it, so Chairman Shin Won-sun must have adopted him as his successor. Because I am not someone who will hand over the heir to someone who is not related by blood.”
“However, as much as Chairman Lee Si-woo took care of it, Daehan should clean it up before it gets louder.”
“I will. For a day or two, Kang Dong’s new material article will bury that guy’s article. Announcing and apologizing before it goes public is probably the only way to reduce the damage to the group.”
At most, Siwoo Lee bought time.
If there was no action in Korea until Ha Jin-ik’s actions became public, Si-woo Lee might have come forward.
“This guy was targeting CEO Shin Ae-ra. If I had aimed directly at Chairman Lee Si-woo, I would have been able to receive a little less of his anger.”
“Get ready for the press conference tomorrow. And now, legally, the second is not my son. I am also preparing to recover all my property. I’ll have to bring back all of my hidden possessions.”
“Yes, Father.”
Anyway, Ha Jin-ik’s wealth was not insignificant.
Ha Jun-cheol, the owner of the Daehan Group, has it, but it is a mana property.
“Oh, father! Are you going to reclaim my property?”
“Did you have any wealth that you have gained by your own strength? It’s the wealth I got from the title of the second son of the Daehan Group, so don’t be dishonest.”
“Hyung, you said that if you stay still, you will protect your property?”
Ha Jin-ik, who knows Ha Jun-cheol’s personality better than anyone else, looked at Ha Jun-seo and said as if arguing.
Ha Jin-seo smiled at the sight of her younger brother who was still unconscious.
“So, did you stay still in the conversation with Chairman Lee Si-woo?”
“that… … .”
“don’t worry. All the money you embezzled from Daehan Steel will be recovered. If I go to jail, I probably won’t be able to live like I used to.”
“brother!”
“Don’t even call me bro. Because I’ve never had a younger brother like you.”
When he turned around calmly, the detectives entered Ha Jun-cheol’s mansion.
“Take me. And since we already have the evidence for marijuana and other drugs, please make the investigation transparent.”
“Yes, Chairman. Thank you for your help with the investigation.”
There is no possibility of a negative drug test, and Ha Jun-cheol has already hired someone to secure the syringes and drugs he used.
“I am your son too!”
“I have never had a son like you. I don’t need a monster who’s drunk on power and money and forsakes even blood.”
Detectives put handcuffs on Ha Ji-ik’s wrists and dragged him away.
Ha Jin-seo, who had not turned and looked at him until he was dragged out, tightly closed his eyes.
“Don’t be weak either. We’ll have to make sure that guy doesn’t come back to the Daehan group again.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“and… Who would you prefer to entrust the chairmanship of Daehan Steel to?”
Daehan Steel has served as the chairman of the Daehan Group for generations.
As it is a business that the rival, the prince, puts great effort into, I have always thought that the direct management of Daehan should be in the hands of the Daehan Group.
“I will take responsibility.”
“Junseo, you are the president of the Daehan Group headquarters. How can I become the chairman of Daehan Steel… … .”
“As a general manager, it would never happen. This is a place where you have to deal with both Chairman Lee Si-woo and Chairman Insoo In at the same time. In the first place, Jinik could not be held responsible. We thought that Chairman Lee Si-woo was too funny.”
“… Is it that much?”
I thought the evaluation of Siwoo Lee was generous.
I thought it was just to scare Ha Ji-ik, but it was different from Ha Jun-cheol’s thoughts.
It was a short time, but I realized how much knowledge Siwoo Lee had on scrap metal.
takeover?
He was the successor of the feudal lord group.
Although she is a woman, she is a person who cannot be compared to Ha Ji-ik.
“I’m going to have to get the balance right.”
“… i get it.”
“And father, it is foolish to meddle in the incinerator business. I didn’t say it because I wanted to do Jinik’s will, but the incinerator business will have a negative impact on the Daehan Group.”
At Ha Jin-seo’s insistence, the plan for the incinerator project was completely stopped, but he could not give up his regrets.
From a businessman’s point of view, the incinerator business was an industry with enormous advantages.
It’s a business with higher net income than fixed costs.
However, as long as Si-Woo Lee and Nuri were holding on to the waste industry, they couldn’t get into the gap between them.
Perhaps there will be companies that are jealous of Nuri’s success and jump into the waste disposal business.
‘It’s good if you don’t kick it.’

Although the presentation of the new material has been successfully completed, there is still a lot of work to be done.
And the technology to be developed in the future was also a mountain beyond a mountain.
Now I have made a thin exterior material, but then I had to develop a weight.
“You’re growing a research lab, head of the lab.”
Immediately after the announcement of the new material, Si-woo Lee visited Shin-myung Lee and made a proud request.
It was planned to create a separate laboratory.
It is not a research institute affiliated with Gangdong, but an organization that can actively move independently.
It was my wish that Lee Shin-myung would take charge of the head of the organization.
“The president is full of enthusiasm. The announcement of the new material has just ended.”
“Isn’t this the beginning, not the end? My goal is not that small.”
Shin Won-sun was a reliable person who had been with him since he was the chairman of the Imperial Works.
Rejecting his scout offer was also a health issue, otherwise he would have followed Shin Won-seon to Gangdong.
“How large do you want it to be?”
“We need a research institute that conducts research on waste as well as steel.”
“Hmm… It will take time.”
“We are in the process of securing a site for the research center and constructing a building. Perhaps the location of the research center will be in Suwon.”
This young president’s driving force alone deserved recognition.
In fact, I knew very well not only about driving force, but also about the ability to embrace people and the effective running of businesses.
“okay.”
“Sorry for proceeding without consultation. However, the expansion of the research institute is absolutely necessary. It is also part of the agreement with Green Energy.”
“I am fine. If the president gives orders, I am just a person to follow.”
“Don’t say that. If you have any problems with the operation, you can sting. Still, the head of the institute knows better than I do about the season.”
Even if the incinerator had been successfully established, it was not a stage of reassurance.
Only one incinerator can be operated.
At least three incinerators had to be operated to utilize incinerator ash.
“The government has decided to transfer the technology to extract oil from waste vinyl.”
“Huh? The government seems to be making concessions.”
“It is not something the government can do alone. It is also a technology that is being developed for the development of private companies.”
It has been quite some time since a method for extracting oil from waste plastic was created.
However, it has not yet been commercialized.
The reason is that the government alone cannot afford the enormous amount of money and manpower.
The reason the government wants to develop technology in the first place is to help the growth of private businesses.
“We still have a long way to go. It started out in the iron and steel industry, but the use of waste upcycling will continue to spread. Now that I stopped starting a business on Nuri, young people who are preparing to start a business will be interested.”
“It will be a pleasure to suggest various ways so that the young people do not lose their motivation, Director of the Institute.”
“I will work hard for a clean future for this Republic of Korea.”
good to come back
When I was sick and lying in the hospital room, I had deep regrets.
What was the goal I wanted to achieve?
Is it the development of steel?
It wasn’t.
I wished the world could be a little cleaner.
As I lost my initial focus and was engrossed in my daily life, I forgot about my old dream.
who made that dream come true.
Although he was a young president, he may be a bigger person than Shin Won-sun.
With a bright smile, Lee Shin-myung politely grabbed Lee Si-woo’s outstretched hand with both hands.
“I wish you all the best in the future, research director Lee Shin-myung.”
“I will do my best to take care of you, Chairman.”
