[Episode 66] Bereaved Items Organizer (1)
It was boring.
Even the frame with the grandmother’s picture was broken.
Siwoo Lee grabbed the picture frame that had fallen on the floor, and the broken glass pierced his flesh.
drip-
Kang Pil-joong, startled by the blood dripping onto the floor, carefully removed the frame from Si-woo Lee’s hand.
“I didn’t know that the funeral would not come and it would be so common to just do it. I wanted to believe that work was inevitable because of bad circumstances, Mr. Kang.”
Even though the blood was dripping down, Si-Woo’s expression was so calm.
Seeing the behavior of the bereaved families who are not worth anger, I was convinced that I should start a business of organizing the belongings.
“CEO, you need a professional to organize your belongings. There will definitely be situations where you need to disinfect and do special cleaning. In the case of Mr. Kim’s grandmother, she was lucky enough to be found on the street, but most of the elderly living alone or unrelated people often die alone.”
It was hard work to do while enduring the rotting body.
A proper professional was needed, and manpower was also needed to organize the items.
“Please find out the market price of the land that Grandma left. And I would like you to be prepared to contribute half of that amount.”
“CEO, it is natural to be angry, but in the current situation of Nuri, we cannot take responsibility for the business funds.”
He has not yet returned the loan, as well as the cost of investing in The S.
It was difficult to invest any more funds in a situation where the fixed maintenance cost was constantly increasing.
sticky.
Lee Si-woo closed his eyes at Kang Pil-joong’s words.
He knew Nuri’s situation, but it was also important to succeed Grandma Kim’s maintenance.
“It sounds like it’s not the right time, Mr. Kang.”
“You have to think soberly.”
Siwoo Lee took a step back when he said that it was an impossible project right now.
As he said, the business of organizing the belongings had to be accompanied by a proper professional manpower.
“We are on hold on the business of organizing items. But I will start small, starting with Kim’s memento.”
“I’m not going to dry it out. Since it is a waste management company after all, it is an optimal situation for organizing your belongings.”
If it’s a business that Nuri can’t do, wouldn’t it be better to form an alliance with a company that does a proper reorganization of the bereaved family?
Instead of sorting out the belongings of the elderly living alone and unrelated people, if you dispose of the waste cheaply… … .
It would be a tough proposal from their point of view.
“Please find a memorabilia organization operating in this area. If I can’t do it myself, I want to do it through cooperation.”
Kang Pil-joong bowed his head at Si-woo Lee’s determination to proceed even by force.
Now he doesn’t even use slang in private.
why?
Things were different then and now.
‘I am now the representative of the largest junk dealer in the area. If I treat you kindly, other employees won’t put a wall on you either.’
The rank changed, and the status of Nuri changed.
And Siwoo Lee, who has grown Nuri to this level, deserves respect.
“And I will donate another 10 million won to the village development fund, so please don’t stop that.”
This time, the village paid for Kim’s hospital expenses as well as funeral expenses.
It was obvious that most of the village development funds donated last time must have been used.
“The 10 million won already invested… … .”
“It will be delivered to the village as a commodity.”
“We will discuss it with the directors and make a decision. I don’t think it’s something I’m going to make on my own, sir.”
“Do by that way.”

Except for Lee Si-woo, the backbones of Nuri were gathered in one place.
At Kang Pil-joong’s request, those who showed up early in the morning continued the discussion.
Moon Jae-shin asked with a positive expression when he heard that Si-woo Lee had asked for funding.
“A total of 20 million won will be donated, Director Kang.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What is the value of the land that Grandma Kim left behind?”
“A total of 4,000 pyeong. The current market price is 150,000 won per pyeong, which is about 600 million won, Vice President.”
He also said that he was planning to invest 300 million won, which is half the original value of the land.
When Kang Pil-joong finished speaking, Moon Jae-shin closed his eyes.
“About 20 million won can be used right away. If it goes in the form of a donation, it will be a factor that can help you get a tax cut.”
Jin Eun-soo, who is in charge of Nuri’s account, tapped the calculator in her head.
There was no problem in using the 20 million won money right now.
Nuri’s size is now exceeding 300 million won in monthly sales.
“What is the opinion of Director Jin?”
Jin Jun-sik, who had been silently listening to the situation, nodded his head without thinking for a moment.
“I agree with the president’s opinion.”
“It’s not an emotional donation.”
“I know. However, it is also true that the business can be carried out easily only with the support of the local residents where Nuri is located.”
It was possible to invest that much in a village in the area.
Even if Lee Si-woo proceeded emotionally, it was their job to turn it into Nuri’s image.
“It is unlikely that the representative made a decision solely emotionally.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Only if it helps the local community, our Nuri will be able to work without any problems.”
Moon Jae-shin opened his eyes and nodded.
“I agree with the president’s opinion.”
“Me too.”
Three out of four agreed.
Now, only Kang Pil-jung’s choice remained.
“I also don’t want to block what the CEO wants to do.”
“Then it is decided. Director Jin, please prepare an additional investment of 10 million won.”
“Yes, deputy chief.”
Si-woo Lee, who had usually stayed in the office as much as possible, was absent even though it was early in the morning.
“Where did you go, sir?”
“Today is the birthday of Grandma Kim. He probably went there.”
* * *
As Kang Pil-joong said, Si-woo Lee woke up early in the morning and went to the funeral home after generating scrap and non-ferrous metals. Si-woo Lee entered the funeral home just in time for the funeral.
“You get a face stamp like you go to work once a day, CEO.”
“Because today is the last day, sir.”
The funeral took place over three days.
Siwoo Lee came to the funeral once a day and stayed there.
“Okay, have you made a decision?”
Will you receive Kim’s land, or will you leave it as a common property of the village?
Shi-woo hasn’t answered yet.
“I’ll take it, sir.”
“Well thought.”
Lee Young-geun smiled faintly at the sound of taking the land.
“The land that my grandmother left behind will be the basis for the project of organizing items.”
“That’s right, cancer… The land left by my grandmother should be used meaningfully.”
“And Mr. Lee, Nuri decided to donate 10 million won to the village development fund. Of course, donations to support the items mentioned above will also be carried out.”
“Isn’t that overkill?”
“That size is fine. Even if I want to return the value of the land left by my grandmother right away, I don’t think I can do it because I lack the ability.”
Lee Young-geun shook his head at Si-woo Lee, who seemed to have a burden.
“It is not the land that was given to us to bear the burden. No matter how big your company is, I didn’t mean to pay back the value of the land that your grandmother left behind.”
“… I know.”
There was talk of repaying the loan in front of Grandmother Kim by handing over the ownership of the house where she lived.
Since it was a loan secured by a house, the land was not affected.
At 12 pm, after the funeral of the grandmother, Lee Young-geun took the ashes and headed to the village.
Originally, they were supposed to be buried in an ossuary, but Grandma Kim wanted to be buried next to her husband’s grave.
In the end, it was decided to make a grave on the top of the mountain where Nuri is located.
The workers who buried the ossuary and made oxygen left.
Siwoo Lee stood at the top and looked down.
“Is this really okay? Moving oxygen from Grandma Kim’s husband… … .”
“It will cost you more. In that case, it would be better to make my grandmother’s grave next to it.”
The ossuary had to pay some maintenance fee per year.
Grandma Kim’s children couldn’t afford to pay for it.
In that case, it was better to make it into oxygen and eliminate the maintenance cost.
“From the point of view of the village, I am just grateful.”
Lee Young-geun stood next to Lee Si-woo and looked at the place where the village was.

Even while taking care of Grandma Kim’s funeral, it went well without any problems.
Scrap iron was shipped out simultaneously from three locations.
Eight units a day were quickly delivered to the Gangdong Works.
Gangdong Works provided another guillotine while signing a contract with Nuri.
By concluding a merger with Myeongsan, he was able to possess three guillotines.
And thanks to the guillotine supported by Gangdong, we were able to print G/S grades at all points.
“A day, 200 tons of scrap metal are shipped out as steel. In the case of G/S grade, the weight jumped up to 390 won, so the daily sales are 80 million won, CEO.”
It was a place to report the current situation.
As Jin Eun-soo presented the material and explained, Si-woo Lee, who was sitting in the front, nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Director Kang, what about waste?”
“It is affecting sales by lowering the unit price of discharged waste. But I don’t think you need to worry. More and more companies are entrusting their waste to us because ore is still not lowering the price of waste.”
I didn’t know what bullshit was.
While Wonkwang was overwhelmingly pushed by Nuri, it did not lower the unit price of waste it receives.
“Did you look at the movement of the ore?”
“It is said that mergers and acquisitions are in progress with a focus on collection and transport companies. So far, a total of two companies have been acquired by Wonkwang, so we will start working in earnest.”
“Where is the acquired company?”
“They say they are located in Incheon and Suwon.”
Wonkwang didn’t seem to have any desire to work in this area.
The purpose of taking over a company in another region seemed to mean that it would expand across the nation.
“Did you recognize the companies I was talking about?”
“yes. I had a meeting with a total of three companies.”
“I also move with Director Kang.”
It could be a niche market.
Organizers had to dispose of all items as waste.
As a result, they had to pay a high price, cry and eat mustard, so they had no choice but to entrust the disposal of the waste to a waste company.
The reason why the current inventory company receives an amount of 700 to 1 million won per case is because of the items that need to be disposed of as waste.
“I had a meeting with a company at 10 today.”
“Where can I go?”
“This is Yongin.”
“We can have a meeting and visit the headquarters as well.”
When the meeting was over, everyone went back to their seats.
Eventually, at 8 o’clock, Si-woo Lee went out with Pil-jung Kang.
And when we drove to the meeting point, it was 9:30.
“How did you get here?”
An employee of Haneul Supporters, who was busy organizing items in work clothes, asked.
“I came from Nuri Recycling, who made an appointment with the CEO today.”
“Oh, you came early. The boss is waiting for you.”
The staff took the two of them to the meeting room.
The appointment was scheduled at 10 o’clock, but the representative of the sky supporters company has been waiting for Kang Pil-jung since early hours.
When the two entered the meeting room, he stood up.
“It is said that the director of Nuri Recycling, whom I contacted last time, is Kang Pil-jung.”
“My name is Ildo Lee, the representative of the Sky Supporters.”
Lee Il-do, who held his hand, showed a distinctive look in his eyes.
Then, I felt the gaze of a handsome young man standing next to Kang Pil-jung and looked at him.
Kang Pil-joong, who wanted to say goodbye, hastily continued the introduction.
“Ah, this is the representative of Nuri Recycling.”
“My name is Siwoo Lee, the representative of Nuri Recycling.”
After introducing each other, the three of them sat down.
Lee Il-do showed a puzzled expression.
“You don’t know how surprised I was when I got the offer from Director Kang. Usually, waste companies are rarely interested in the bereavement clean-up business.”
