[Episode 61] A crisis has come to the famous mountain
“CEO! It was a big deal. The news is that Myeongsan may be shut down!”
Kang Pil-joong ran quickly and opened the office door urgently.
Surprised by the sudden business suspension, Siwoo Lee widened his eyes.
“yes? what is that… … .”
Arrivals and exits were, as far as possible, non-existent.
It did not impose strong sanctions unless it caused significant environmental problems.
“There are even rumors that Daehan Steel will disqualify Myeongsan as the grand prize winner. You may be banned from entering indefinitely… … .”
“Why at Daehan Steel? It’s not that the goods of Myeongsan are dirty, and why suddenly a company that has been faithfully supplying for the past few months… … .”
At the shocking news, Siwoo jumped up.
The moment Myungsan was deprived of his qualifications, Nuri had no choice but to suffer the damage.
“I will go to Myeongsan. Please take care of the office for a moment, Director Kang.”
“Yes, sir.”
Si-woo Lee entrusted the office to Pil-jung Kang and hurriedly moved to Myeongsan.
When I hurriedly entered the yard of Myeongsan’s headquarters, people in unfamiliar clothes were walking around the yard.
‘What the hell is this?’
About ten men in work clothes with the Daehan Steel logo were scouring the entire headquarters.
And when he entered the office, Jae-Shin Moon was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and stroking his hair with his hands.
“CEO, what is happening all of a sudden?”
Moon Jae-shin put his hands away and lifted his head when he saw Si-woo Lee, who seemed to have run after hearing the news.
“This representative… … .”
“Chief, how the hell did this happen… … .”
“They said that a large amount of waste was found in the scrap metal sent to Daehan Steel.”
“What nonsense is that… … .”
It cannot be said that there is no waste from scrap metal, but Myeongsan was not a business in the first place.
Although high-quality scrap and low-grade scrap were mixed with guillotine to generate profits, they did not mix complete waste.
However, due to a sudden notice from Daehan Steel, Moon Jae-shin was in a state of panic.
“The managers in charge of the field suddenly lost contact. It seems that Director Jin and I took advantage of the loophole that we couldn’t visit all the sites together.”
“Even so… … .”
“Except for the headquarters, in the other two branches, each manager was in charge. It has become like being cut in the foot by the ax you believe in. I’m sorry, Mr. Lee.”
The managers in charge of the site were those who had been with Myeongsan since the establishment of Myeongsan with Moon Jae-shin.
The result of trusting them and entrusting the field was terrible.
“ha… … .”
“I am Director Jang Cheol-soo of Daehan Steel. Director Jang seems to have led this work.”
Lee Si-woo’s expression hardened at the news that the director of a steel mill with huge capital had moved out.
It’s not that there hasn’t been a problem so far.
Because Moon Jae-shin and Jang Cheol-soo had a legal battle in the past.
“Why did the director of Daehan Steel target you?”
“Talking is long.”
“Aren’t we supposed to rectify the situation first? There is no answer by just sitting like this.”
“There is no answer. It is because the board of directors of Daehan Steel has already made a decision to disqualify Myeongsan as the grand prize winner.”
I did not know that the famous mountain would collapse in such a day.
Lee Si-woo bit his lip at Moon Jae-shin, who showed his empty eyes as if he had given up on everything.
Just because a famous mountain collapsed, did not mean that Nuri would be destroyed.
However, he was responsible for helping the morally enjoyed famous mountain.
“Ha, the tonnage delivered to Daehan Steel in the past month is over 2,000 tons. It is said that it will collect all payments for 2,000 tons and also recover the amount received from Daehan Steel every year. It will probably be enforced.”
2,000 tons is 660 million. In addition, the amount of support received from Jehan Steel reached 300 million won annually.
It was almost like saying that they had decided to force the execution of nearly 1 billion dollars.
“Are you going to give up like this?”
“Even if a billion dollars of funds are forcibly executed, we can survive once. But the problem would be: It means that the moment the target is disqualified, the source of income disappears.”
As Moon Jae-shin said, even if 1 billion was forcibly executed, he could survive once.
But after that it was a problem.
The moment they were deprived of their qualifications, Myeongsan’s funds dried up in an instant.
Si-woo Lee, who heard Moon Jae-shin’s empty voice, sat in front of him.
“Isn’t the steelworks one of Daehan Steel?”
“… … .”
“You have to think of Kwangwoon. Are you really going to sit down like this?”
“There is no way to do it.”
“CEO! Why are you trying to give up already?”
Lee Si-woo exclaimed strongly at the sight of Moon Jae-shin drooping like a person who had given up his will to live.
“I risked my life to come here. It is difficult to start all over again.”
Si-woo Lee had a youthful spirit, but Jae-shin Moon lost his confidence.
Because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to stand up again after being disqualified.
Rather, I wanted to close the business and keep the remaining money.
“I will help.”
“There is no hope. So this representative… … .”
“I don’t like it.”
“CEO, I am a man I enjoy with Myeongsan. Shouldn’t it be my decision to give up the company as well?”
Moon Jae-shin didn’t want to be a nuisance to Nuri, who was just growing up and gaining weight.
At the sound of his powerless voice, Siwoo Lee bit his lip and left the office.
‘You can’t just watch Myeongsan fall down. We have to find a way to somehow make it happen.’
As Moon Jae-shin said, the CEO had to decide to give up the company.
However, Si-Woo Lee couldn’t stand silently watching the famous mountain collapse.
‘Because I promised Kwangwoon.’
promised
Before Moon Kwang-Woon enlisted in the army, he asked Lee Si-Woo to ask for Moon Jae-Shin.
Even if everyone else turns their backs on him, he asks for Lee Si-woo not to let go of Moon Jae-shin’s hand until the end.
* * *
Si-woo Lee, who had been to the famous mountain, sighed deeply as he entered the shredding plant.
It was said that if Daehan Steel’s eligibility for the subject was lost, it was necessary to find a new steel mill.
However, Siwoo Lee’s personal connections were not connected to the steel mill.
‘Is there no way?’
When Siwoo Lee came back with his shoulders drooping, Piljung Kang closed his eyes tightly.
“CEO, if the famous mountain is destroyed like this, it will be difficult to ship scrap metal.”
The price of scrap metal is still rising.
The amount of scrap metal Nuri carried for a month has now increased to 1,500 tons.
If the famous mountain that can handle these scrap metals collapsed, it would be a huge blow to Nuri.
“We have to find a way somehow.”
“CEO, why don’t we just follow the conditions of the grand prize? Anyway, didn’t someone come to the Gangdong Works a while ago?”
“Isn’t that already discussed?”
Still, a month ago, there was a middle-aged man who came to the yard out of the blue.
A man named Won Jae-joon, who is in charge of the directorship in Gangdong, one of the new steel mills, had offered Nuri a harsh offer.
A steel mill built less than a year ago.
As a result, there were not many companies with the qualifications for the target.
“But, given the circumstances, accepting the offer… … .”
“This is a matter of fidelity to Myeongsan, Mr. Kang.”
“CEO, if Myungsan is disqualified from Daehan Steel, it will be difficult to stand up again. Nuri is now looking for a way to live… … .”
At Kang Pil-joong’s earnest gaze, Si-woo closed his eyes and laid himself on the chair deeply.
It is true that he was worried, but in order to keep his loyalty to the famous mountain, he rejected the proposal of the steel mill.
They even offered to finance Guillotine’s facilities.
“And I got a call from Jeil Cement. The news is that Wonkwang has lowered the unit price by itself.”
“… How much did you say you lowered it?”
“It is said that they are signing contracts with cement companies at an amount lowered by 20 won from 140 won to 120 won.”
“What is the position of Cheil Cement?”
“If we can’t meet the unit price, they say we will accept Wonkwang’s offer.”
It has been said that misfortunes come all at once.
Wonkwang was still receiving waste at a unit price of 200 won.
And using it as a stepping stone, he was in the business of making an offer to the cement company.
“If you are dragged around like this, you will have no choice but to stop Nuri in the Danga War.”
“I know, but if the relationship with the cement company that handles the waste is cut off, it will be a huge loss for us as well.”
There was no right way now.
The moment you turn your back on the cement company, the benefits of the crusher will disappear.
“Tell the first cement side that the unit price is lowered. We need to make sure we compete with Wonkwang.”
“Then if you offer 120 won… … .”
“Give me 100 won. From now on, we will go to Balaidae.”
“CEO!”
After experiencing The K and DS, Siwoo Lee realized one thing.
The fact that if your opponent intensifies the competition, you have to tap and press it overwhelmingly.
The profit may decrease, but it was also right to hold a firm that can handle the final process.
Because it seemed to be determined not to lower the unit price of waste in ore.
“You might think it’s overkill, but I don’t want to worry about ore right now.”
“… Okay. I will pass it on to Jeil Cement.”
“Definitely, we have to make Cheil Cement on our side. And I will meet the director of the Gangdong Steel Works I visited last time.”
“Yes, sir.”
Less than 10 minutes after Siwoo Lee entered the office, he got up from his seat.
Then he pulled out a business card from the drawer.
‘Director of Gangdong Steelworks, Won Jae-jun. If Daehan Steel has abandoned its famous product, it must find a new customer.’
* * *
“Sir, did you hear the news? The situation of Myeongsan Iron, which takes scrap metal from Nuri Recycling, seems to be going the worst.”
“I heard. Jang Cheol-soo of Daehan Steel was involved?”
“I think there has been one case in the past where CEO Myungsan and director Jang Cheol-soo even went to court.”
“It’s a famous event on this floor. In fact, the reason Jang Cheol-soo served as a director of Daehan Steel was because he lost a court battle, right?”
It was a place that had just been built and had not yet been established.
Jae-Jun Won, managing director of Gangdong Works, and Hye-Ryeon Cha, his secretary, were having a conversation.
“I guess I still haven’t forgotten about it. It’s very narrow.”
“There is no one who can beat Jang Cheol-soo with a narrow heart. Whoops.”
“Will there be a response from Nuri? It’s a company that the boss is paying close attention to.”
“At this point, it would be nice to bring the famous mountain to Gangdong as well.”
Won Jae-jun, who had a slightly excited expression, smiled faintly, sipping the coffee brought by Cha Hye-ryun.
It was a structure in which the Daehan Steel Mill and the Jehu Steel Mill competed for the first place.
Daehan Steel did not demand clean scrap metal in exchange for maintaining low unit prices.
However, in the case of the ironworks, it was a place that offered the highest unit price instead of asking for clean products.
The operating methods pursued by the two steel mills were markedly different.
‘It is not a composition in which small scale steel mills can survive between the two groups.’
The amount of scrap Myeongsan sent to Daehan Steel was 2,000 tons per month.
It was interesting to note that the company, which originally traded only about 1,000 tons, nearly doubled its trading volume.
Won Jae-jun, who was investigating the famous mountain at first, found out that there was a place called Nuri Recycling behind the famous mountain.
‘It was a place where 1,000 tons of scrap metal a month were sent to a famous mountain that was not even a destination.’
There were many places where even the target did not achieve 1,000 tons per month.
“I got a call, sir.”
woo woo-
The first phone number you see.
Won Jae-joon looked down at the ringing cell phone and smiled faintly.
‘Somehow, it feels like good news is coming.’
