[Episode 49] Has 3 months already passed?
Time passed quickly.
Three months have passed since Dan made a deal with resources.
In order to pay the 20 million won advance deposit, Dan-i Resources has been sending scrap iron to Nuri until now.
Now, three months later, how has the unit price of scrap metal changed?
Not much had changed.
It was so sluggish that I miss the time when scrap metal was 350 won.
“Boss, he said he would pick up the weight at Myeongsan.”
Si-woo Lee, who was standing in the yard today and watching the employees work, turned his head.
Because Kang Pil-joong, who had just left for work, approached me and said,
The Myeongsan Iron Company was undergoing considerable damage.
With the scrap metal price not changing even after a month, Si-Woo Lee advised Moon Jae-Shin that the scrap metal should be removed.
Having said that, Si-Woo Lee didn’t think Moon Jae-Shin could easily give up on a job involving quite a lot of money.
As expected by Lee Si-woo, the famous iron maker was still unable to take out the scrap except for a part of the accumulated scrap.
Of course, for three months, Nuri recycling did not all pile up in the yard.
Because about 300 tons were subtracted from famous iron products.
“This manager must be busy now.”
“I am happy to start doing what I am good at.”
Lee Seok-jun, who went to work with Kang Pil-joong, gave a gentle smile.
For the past three months, Lee Seok-jun has melted into Nuri.
Now, the employees showed an organic appearance that they could take responsibility for the yard without any problems by matching each other.
“That’s fortunate. Still, the limit was coming… … .”
For the past three months, the price of scrap metal has not risen by 10 won compared to before.
Because it went up and down over and over again.
At this time, there was the biggest reason to get rid of scrap metal.
‘Now the price of scrap metal will start to jump.’

＜Future City＞ (lv. 2)
You can see the rise and fall of scrap in two-week and one-month cycles.
Registered Steelworks: [Daehan Steel]
[Current scrap metal price]
Increase B grade: 300 won.
Weight Class A: 305 won.
Lightweight Class B: 260 won.
Lightweight Class A: 270 won.
[Two weeks later, the unit price of scrap.]
Increase B grade: 310 won.
Weight Class A: 315 won.
Lightweight Class B: 270 won.
Lightweight Grade A: 290 won.
[One month later, the unit price of scrap]
Increase B grade: 330 won.
Weight Class A: 335 won.
Lightweight Class B: 290 won.
Lightweight Grade A: 310 won.
―――――――――――――――
The information that the unit price rises after two weeks is 20 won, and another 20 won after one month is clearly visible.
It should be subtracted from the beginning of the increase, so that even if the unit price falls later, there will be no trouble.
“The unit price is likely to rise from next time.”
“Now, once the unit price starts to rise, you will be busy, so it would be good for Manager Kang to take a look at the transaction as a whole.”
Si-woo Lee, who came into the office after checking that the employees were going to work one by one, sat down on a chair.

‘What is the additional ability created in the next step? Could it be the ability to produce non-ferrous metals?’
Future Poetry and Scrap Generation.
I thought both abilities were deceptive.
There was also the cramping feeling that he could only use this to this extent with his nonsensical abilities.
However, as a result of using his abilities steadily until now, Nuri recycling was growing smoothly.
The total amount of money earned from scrap iron production so far was close to 100 million.
Of course, even if there are scrap metals that have not yet been disposed of in the yard, they were items that Si-woo Lee could turn into cash at any time.
“Chief Kang, can’t you afford to take the weight at Myeongsan?”
“Yeah, but… We’ve been through it for over three months. I don’t think it’s too much to carry around with scrap metal anymore.”
Even the amount of scrap metal that the Myeongsan Iron Manufacturing Company currently possesses must be considerable.
It was clear that it was probably not in billions, but probably in billions.
“I’m worried that the famous mountain will be shaken for nothing by receiving our products.”
“Are you sure you want to carry all the scrap metal? We will adjust the flow of funds by reducing the weight according to the situation.”
At Kang Pil-joong’s words, Si-woo Lee’s expression darkened.
When he told Moon Jae-shin that scrap metal should be removed, he did not break his stubbornness.
It was clear that Moon Jae-shin was going to try to hold on even now, even when the damage was probably snowballing.
“I think I should go to Myeongsan.”
Even after time has passed, the idea of going with Myeongsan Cheolje has not changed.
This was probably the case even with Nuri recycling getting bigger.
It cannot be said that Moon Jae-shin’s insistence is wrong.
As he thought, scrap metal prices are preparing to rise sharply again.
Si-Woo Lee entrusted the yard to Seok-Jun Lee and moved it with a famous mountain iron.
As soon as I went inside, I could see the pile of scrap metal.
It was evident that the three yards owned by the Myeongsan Steel were also in the same situation.
When Si-woo Lee entered the yard, Jun-sik Jin, who was moaning like a sick person, bowed his head.
“Did you come… … .”
Contrary to his usual appearance, he was dazed.
As expected by Si-Woo Lee, the funds of Myeongsan Iron Works were beyond words.
“Is the representative in the office?”
“You are meeting a guest now. Please wait a moment.”
Upon hearing that there was a guest, Si-woo Lee nodded and looked at the yard.
“It’s saturated. Can you accept Nuri’s goods?”
“I think that I have endured well enough to enjoy the long period of four months. It would have been difficult if it wasn’t for Lee’s outstanding ability.”
“It was nothing… … .”
“I cannot tell you to take any more losses. That is probably the same sentiment as our representative.”
Nuri Recycling was not making a profit with scrap metal for nearly four months now.
And the tax payment period was coming soon.
It was also a situation that was approaching the limit of being able to endure it any longer.
“My head hurts. To the extent that I feel that it is great that the CEO endures in such a situation.”
“You are the one who made the famous mountain even the grand prize with one of his perseverance. But it has never been this hard.”
Jin Jun-sik was feeling frustrated at Moon Jae-shin’s decision.
Even if he received Nuri Recycling’s goods, he did not break his insistence that he would not pay the weight.
Now, only light weight is being sent to the steel mill, and the weight is rapidly starting to accumulate in the yard.
“The weight we have in our yard right now is about 1,000 tons.”
“1,000 tons… … .”
When I traded before that, I took into account that I received about 400 tons in weight.
It was expected that it would be around 500 tons at most, but it was twice the amount that Jin Jun-sik had expected.
“I should have seen it for myself and decided… … .”
As soon as 1,000 tons of scrap metal came in, it was clear that the scrap metal that could be loaded in the yard would reach saturation.
If I hadn’t seen the situation of Myeongsan Iron and Steel, I would have just sent scrap metal.
However, Siwoo Lee confirmed the situation of Myeongsan Steel with his own eyes.
“Cancel the delivery. It could last a month or so.”
Anyway, it was a month at most.
If you go there for just one month, the price will jump by 40 won.
“CEO… … .”
Jin Jun-shik seemed to have tears in his eyes for a moment as if he was thrilled, but unlike that, Lee Si-woo acted calculatedly.
If the unit price of 40 won rises and scrap metal is sold, it will remain as a profit.
However, in the case of light weight, there was no intention of stacking it.
“I would like you to accept the light weight instead. The weight doesn’t take up a lot of space, but the light weight is different.”
“Thank you very much.”
In fact, it wasn’t difficult to hold on for another month or so.
‘After a month anyway, the unit price will jump by as much as 40 won.’
So far, Siwoo Lee has handed over the goods to Myeongsan Steel before the price of scrap metal rises.
It was a consideration to see even the slightest profit from the Myeongsan Iron Manufacture.
However, this time, the situation of Myeongsan Steel was not good, so it was necessary to change the operation as before.
“The president has a long story. I will see you next time.”
“yes. I will tell the representative.”
Si-woo Lee, who delayed the delivery of scrap metal, returned to the yard.
“Have you been to Myeongsan, sir?”
Lee Seok-jun, who had come down after cleaning up the scrap metal with an excavator, bowed his head, and Lee Si-woo took him into the office.
“I decided to postpone the shipment of scrap metal, Deputy Chief Lee.”
“yes?”
“If I send all those things now, Myungsan will lose even the space to work. The yard is on the verge of fire.”
“still… We can’t afford it, do we?”
“This time, I want you to follow my will. After a month, I will send them to the famous mountain unconditionally, so let’s hold on until then.”
The settlement money coming from The K Besteel this time would probably be a godsend for Nuri Recycling.
The sum of the existing funds and the settlement amount was more than 200 million won.
It was enough money to last about a month.
“CEO, I wonder if you respect the famous mountain too much… … .”
“If Myeongsan is holding up properly, we will be able to advance the time for Nuri to grow as much as possible.”
In the end, Lee Seok-jun had no choice but to follow Lee Si-woo’s will.
Because the final decision is not for Kang Pil-jung, but for Lee Si-woo.
There were two main reasons why Siwoo Lee wanted to endure this month.
One is that the profit will be greater as the unit price rises after a month.
Another issue was the tax to be paid this month.
As sales grew, so would the tax to be paid to the state.
If the goods were handed over to Myungsan Steel before paying the tax, the tax would inevitably increase as much as the sales.
‘It’s a tax I have to pay anyway, but this side is more advantageous for me.’
After all, sales and purchases were in the same state now.
Most of the incoming scrap metal issued tax invoices, and data on expenses and labor costs have been collected one by one.
Now was the time to spend all the money to pay taxes on scrap metal.
“Chairman, did you say that you will postpone the delivery to Myeongsan?”
Kang Pil-joong entered the office immediately after hearing the story from Lee Seok-jun. There was a look of embarrassment on his face.
“I’m going to wait a month or so and watch.”
“However… … .”
“Chief Kang, have you ever been to Myeongsan?”
“I haven’t visited recently. I made an appointment over the phone with Director Jin.”
“Go. Then you will understand why I delayed the shipment of scrap metal.”
It was faster to see and understand with my own eyes than to explain in words.
He sighed at Siwoo Lee’s words, and grabbed the car key hanging on the wall in one of the offices.
“Then I will go to Myeongsan right away.”
“Bye.”
Two hours after Kang Pil-joong left the yard, he entered the yard with a darkened expression on his face.
“Now do you know? Why did I delay the release?”
“yes. I visited all three yards, and they were all in a similar situation.”
Si-woo Lee only saw the yard that became the headquarters, but accurately predicted the situation of the rest of the yard.
Due to the size of the part he helped in Myeongsan, Kang Pil-jung and Jin Jun-sik had to turn around without saying anything to explain the situation.
“Look. What kind of choices are made by the representative of Myeongsan?”
Even if Moon Jae-shin removes scrap, Lee Si-woo was thinking of delaying the delivery of scrap.
And when all the employees had to leave work, Moon Jae-shin entered the yard.
“This representative.”
“You must be busy… Even if you didn’t visit, I thought I would come tomorrow.”
“After hearing from Director Jin, I only came to do urgent work. I’m going to delay the release of scrap metal… … .”
“yes. I have enough money to last up to a month. Please come inside.”
Moon Kwang-woon, who had changed clothes, looked at Moon Jae-shin, who had visited the yard, with a surprised expression.
“Kwangwoon, go home first today. I have a story to talk to with this representative.”
“Yes, Father.”
Moon Kwang-woon quickly hurried his steps and left the yard.
When Kang Pil-joong closed the door of the junk shop and left, Si-woo Lee served Moon Jae-shin coffee.
“I regret that I had to take out the scrap metal as the CEO said two months ago.”
“Hmm, even with the funds, the appearance of the yard shows how hard the CEO is going through. In such a situation, we decided to postpone the shipment because we thought that the yard would not run smoothly if we even entered our products.”
“Thank you so much for that.”
“no.”
Moon Jae-shin got up from his seat as the office was cramped and went outside to look at the pile of scrap metal.
“I intend to hold on until I can survive this. If we take it off like this, it will be nothing.”
“That is also true. It will be difficult to ship scrap metal even if the time it has endured is a waste.”
“I received a lot of help by making a one-time deposit. So shameless… … .”
