[Episode 58] Moving Kang Pil-joong!
“Tell me, boss.”
“I think I need to change my rank now. I want to raise Deputy Manager Lee to the managerial position and change the position of Manager Kang to the director.”
The director was vacant and could not move.
Even in small junkyards, there were quite a few people with the title of director.
It was a disappointment to have Park Tae-moon as the director.
It was best to give the position of director to Kang Pil-joong, who is now in charge of overall management.
“In the past, I would have rejected the boss’s offer.”
“I hope you accept my offer this time.”
Most of the people who went to business had the position of director rather than the position of most general managers.
Because of this, Kang Pil-joong has been pushed out of his position by them and has lost his business partners.
“If Manager Kang is registered as a director, then Manager Park is the problem… what do you think?”
“Director Park just keeps his rank as it is. You are still having a hard time. It seems that your body is not what it used to be.”
The higher the rank, the greater the responsibilities.
Currently, Park Tae-moon is in a state of exhaustion.
There was no need to raise the rank and impose a burden.
Siwoo Lee, who called the employees at the headquarters earlier than the start time, announced about the change in rank.
“I would like to raise Pil-Joong Kang to the position of director and Suk-Jun Lee to the position of general manager.”
The staff did not react much to Siwoo Lee’s opinion.
It was natural for Kang Pil-joong to become a director.
However, Lee Seok-jun did not understand that he was the manager.
“Sir, I don’t think I’ve been able to take on the position of a manager yet. Manager Park is here… … .”
The fact that he was on the same level as Park Tae-moon was a burden for Lee Seok-jun as well.
He was the person who had been with Nuri the longest along with Kang Pil-joong and Choi Moon-sik.
At Lee Seok-jun’s words, Park Tae-moon shook his head.
“This deputy manager, you are the person responsible for the headquarters.”
“But even so… … .”
There was no employee who did not know that the reason for leaving Park Tae-moon’s position as it was was Lee Si-woo’s consideration.
Anyway, recently Park Tae-moon has been saying that work is hard.
“I agree, boss.”
With a gentle smile, Park Tae-moon approved of Kang Pil-joong and Lee Seok-joon’s rise to the ranks.
“I agree.”
“Me too.”
Choi Moon-shik and Lee Jun also agreed.
“I think you know the reason for leaving the position of Deputy Chief Choi as it is.”
Originally, Choi Moon-sik should have been the manager, not Lee Seok-jun.
However, Si-Woo Lee had no intention of having Moon-Sik Choi at the headquarters.
The person who is responsible for the site with Park Tae-moon.
However, the reason for leaving Choi Moon-sik as the deputy chief was because of Park Tae-moon.
“It does not depend on rank.”
Choi Moon-sik could not be placed in the same position as Park Tae-moon.
It was not a small business to enjoy, it was now a place where a society had to be maintained.
The moment Choi Moon-sik was promoted to general manager, it was clear that Park Tae-moon’s position would become ambiguous.
“At this point, I would like you to promote Moonshik to general manager too, boss.”
“Director Park.”
“I don’t think I can take responsibility for the field anymore. To be honest, I was thinking of retiring, but it is also true that I want to help the boss until the end of my physical strength.”
He was always in charge of Nuri’s yard, but now he was planning to take care of Lee Si-woo in a new position.
“I will take charge of the office in the future. I won’t be able to use the computer properly, but I’ll have to go back and forth between the office and the field.”
Siwoo Lee couldn’t always be in the office.
Headquarters also had to take responsibility, and there were more and more things that had to be done outside.
Choi Moon-sik expressed his disappointment at Park Tae-moon’s intention to retire on the spot.
“Director Park, will I be able to take charge of the yard by myself… … .”
“Didn’t you learn a lot by my side during that time, Moonshik-ah?”
“still… … .”
“I’m not leaving completely, I’m just getting more time in the office. We will continue to give orders on the spot.”
Park Tae-moon thought that if he left the scene, the only person who could take responsibility for it was Choi Moon-sik.
“Then I will raise Deputy Manager Choi Moon-sik as the manager according to Manager Park’s opinion.”
In fact, the most ambiguous position in Nuri was Lee Jun.
Because he is called a knight without a rank.
“This knight can manage the articles as a whole. You’ll have to go back and forth between headquarters and the shredder, but I think you’ll be fine. I want to decide the position as a manager.”
Recruitment of manpower was all that had to be done.
When new employees were hired, they needed someone who could tell them the job and hold them back.
“Chief Choi is responsible for the new arrivals today.”
“I think I have to tell you everything from one to ten.”
“Take it slow. You won’t be busy right now anyway.”
For the past two weeks, five daily workers have come to visit us.
And among them, there were two daily workers who went to work on a regular basis.
After saying that they wanted to be hired as full-time employees, the two accepted Siwoo Lee’s offer, and decided to go to work from today.
However, since they did not know about antique dealers, Choi Moon-sik’s burden was bound to increase.
“I’ll stick with you and let you know, so don’t worry too much. No one is good at the beginning.”
“Yes, boss.”
“And don’t climb too much just because you’re in the same position.”
“Haha, of course. I am the manager’s right arm.”
* * *
Even after moving, nothing changed.
The only thing that has changed is that the business card has been changed from general manager to director.
Kang Pil-joong was in the process of conducting business related to waste by visiting a company that DS had linked to.
He went with Choi Eun-seok and took over.
“You have more business partners than you think, Director Choi.”
“Because there were about a dozen or so designated fixed customers. It was on a scale of about 14 cars in one month alone.”
“The choice of eco-environment is almost incomprehensible.”
“It’s something I can’t even understand. Why did you make this choice when the number of waste customers has been steadily increasing until now? … .”
Do you choose to run away with a business of this size?
Even Choi Eun-seok did not know that the CEO of a company that does not illegally dispose of waste would make such a foolish choice.
DS provided full support while steadily pushing customers into the eco-environment.
“I heard that they have been intensively selling malicious waste for the past four months. It is said that the waste was traded for about 3.5 million won per car. Perhaps this was not the purpose in the first place.”
“DS got it right.”
“Perhaps the decision to collaborate with DS was the need for a scapegoat to carry the waste that was left behind.”
I wasn’t lucky.
The cost of designating a company without properly recognizing it was considerable.
However, DS took this experience as an experience and vowed never to deal with waste.
“Anyway, we took over all the waste today, so we will dispose of it without any problems.”
“Oh, and I heard that you were promoted to director. Congratulations, Director Kang.”
“The rumors have already spread.”
“I heard that CEO Lee called each company. Now that I am working as a director instead of a general manager, I want to ask for your treatment.”
Kang Pil-joong’s eyes widened at Choi Eun-seok’s words.
Because I didn’t know that Siwoo Lee would do such a troublesome job.
“ah… … .”
“I think this representative is also great. You pushed Director Kang this far.”
“You are a wonderful person, our representative… … .”
“I think Director Kang is a person who can move with the title of director enough. Even though he was an enemy, I was also acknowledging one of the abilities of Director Kang.”
Choi Eun-seok had no choice but to admire the ability of Kang Pil-jung rather than Nuri.
In the meantime, he had to go around numerous business partners and put a lot of effort into stealing Nuri’s business partners.
It was not able to compete with DS, which was enjoyed in the first unit price competition.
But in the meantime, Kang Pil-joong has built up trust.
There were overwhelmingly more companies that trusted him than Siwoo Lee.
‘Because there were many places where it was difficult to persuade them even if they offered a high unit price.’
As a result, many companies turned around when Nuri shared waste together.
Choi Eun-seok also said that he would try, but he could not keep up with the faithfulness of Kang Pil-jung.
“Even though we don’t work together, I was able to learn a lot thanks to Director Kang. Because I realized what the attitude of a sales person should be.”
“I think you are overestimating me. I am still a person with many shortcomings.”
Compared to Siwoo Lee, Piljung Kang was still thinking that he was still far away.
I thought that moving people’s hearts was a top priority for Siwoo Lee.
“There was a reason I lost. Director Kang is so humble.”
“Compared to our representative, I am still lacking.”
Choi Eun-seok realized that Kang Pil-joong was sincere.
He is unaware of his own worth.
However, I could understand why Kang Pil-jung thought it was lacking.
“Your ability is much better than I thought.”
“I saw how difficult it was to be trusted by Myungsan and the CEO of The S.”
It was very difficult to gain the trust of veterans who had gone through everything before and after childbirth.
That was an achievement that even the representative of DS, Han Kang-ho, could not achieve.
“okay.”
“Then I will go. I have work to do in the yard.”
“yes. See you next time, Mr. Kang.”
Kang Pil-jung bowed his head slightly and headed to Nuri’s headquarters in the car.
A place to visit in 2 weeks.
In the yard, Seok-Jun Lee was in the process of coordinating with the new staff.
“Director Kang, are you here?”
“Is there quite a lot of scrap metal? Aren’t you going to dispatch trains from Myeongsan?”
“no. The representative told me to stop shipping for a while… … .”
“okay?”
The shredding plant was established, and Lee Si-woo gave Lee Seok-jun an instruction.
The order to ship scrap metal to Myeongsan was something that even Lee Seok-jun did not understand.
It’s about $20 less than before.
There was no need to stop and stock up, but Lee Seok-jun faithfully followed the instructions.
“How much scrap metal is in the yard now?”
“A little over 500 tons.”
“Hmm… … .”
“It’s been two weeks since we stopped shipping, but the CEO’s permission hasn’t fallen, so we’re putting it up in the yard.”
“According to the will of the CEO, keep them in the yard as much as possible. There must be a reason for giving this order.”
“Yes, sir.”
Kang Pil-joong, who went into the office with Lee Seok-jun, checked the books he kept diligently.
“The trading volume of scrap metal is increasing significantly. More than 100 tons of scrap were in stock this week alone.”
“You need to increase it more. It’s a situation where the money earned from waste can be enough to roll scrap metal. How about non-ferrous?”
“But the amount of non-ferrous metal has decreased a bit. And while scrap metal trading volume has increased, the amount of scrap metal being shipped is decreasing. I’m trying to figure out why this is happening… … .”
“Did you report it to the representative?”
“yes. I gave him a report, but he said he didn’t have to worry about it too much.”
It was natural.
Because Siwoo Lee, who has been producing scrap and non-ferrous metals every day, has moved to another place.
In addition to the current headquarters of Nuri, there was a scrapyard built next to the shredding plant.
“Well, since we have one more place, it might be a natural phenomenon.”
“Still, it’s weird. The number of customers has increased, but the amount of scrap metal is decreasing.”
“It’s up to the president to figure it out. That’s not to say it’s not our part. Most of the matters related to scrap and non-ferrous metals are handled by the CEO.”
As far as possible, Kang Pil-joong completely followed Lee Si-woo’s opinion regarding scrap.
“If there is something strange, just move on. There is no way that the representative will not know what this manager has detected.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And next month there will be a new person in charge of accounting. A director with the same rank as me.”
“ah… … .”
“Don’t think of it as a simple business. He is a competent person with over 15 years of experience in the accounting office alone.”
“All right. But even if you are a newcomer, why don’t you sit down at the shredding plant instead of at the headquarters?”
“The CEO insisted on having a new director at the head office. It is unlikely to change.”
