This Is How I Became a Chaebol Chapter 13

013 : Take it away

“Of course you are the interviewer. Aren’t we co-founders?”

“Eh, are you good at talking?”

“Hold on like an interviewer. In the far future, having passed our interview will be a great source of pride.”

“ha ha ha. Please, I hope so.”

I was serious, but he took it as a joke.

In any case, I started setting up desks and chairs at the entrance of the factory while being fed up.

“Old class presidents!”

“Yes, boss.”

“We look at each of 10 people one by one. I will have an interview.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Wow! They said they picked us up!”

“Close the entrance to the factory. Now don’t let other people come in.”

“Yes, boss.”

When I said that I would go for an interview, cheers continued.

Even if you can’t do it, there will be 4,500 people, so it was clear that interviewing all day with ordinary methods would not be enough.

But I have a secret weapon.

“Come in.”

rumble…

The appearance of those who came in was different.

They ranged from those who entered confidently with a bright smile, to those who cautiously followed along, to those who hesitantly and hurriedly slipped through the door.

“Introduce yourself first.”

“Yes, I was a graduate of the 18th Seongdong Technical High School and worked for 2 years at Chicken Pyohapseom…”

“Short. Next person, please introduce yourself!”

“Yes, I am Incheon Technical High School…”

I had the applicants introduce themselves, and I exchanged glances with Sambok.

We picked out the 1st successful candidates with a blink of an eye.

Sambok also knew how important it was to have a self-introduction voice.

If your voice is clear and loud, you are basically honest and confident.

“Let’s all sing along loudly. I am honest, sincere and always lead by example. make it work! I am good at anything!”

I clenched my fist and demonstrated.

The applicants froze in an instant.

If I followed my words, it would be like they were talking to me, the boss.

I didn’t even care about half words.

To be an early member of a popular group, you have to be this kind.

“I am honest, sincere and always lead by example. make it work! I am good at anything!”

“Pick it out! I’m good at anything!”

Hey, I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it, but there were quite a few people who radiated confidence.

They were truly proud of themselves.

Everyone said what kind of announcement was first place, but I saw that it was true?

‘Startup in the 60’s was swimming on the ground. That means there are people like this all over the place.’

There was a reason why chaebols emerged like mushrooms after rain. It is an era in which these talented people work wholeheartedly for a monthly salary of 15,000 won. What could have happened

Even among these aggressive ones, you can pull out the best of the best.

It’s romantic time!

My job is to treat them properly. I will never repeat what our country’s chaebols did.

‘Those who pass are sent to the machine room, and those who fail are sent out through the back door. Don’t let me come in again.’

“Now, people 2 and 7, go to the other room, and the rest follow me. Come on.”

If you pretend to be Sambok, you pretend.

In a short time, the first passers and losers were divided.

“Next people. Come on in.”

“Hello I am…”

“It’s done. Let’s all do it out loud. I am honest, sincere and always lead by example. make it work! I am good at anything!”

“… I’m good at… anything.”

“… uh…”

“I am honest, sincere and always lead by example. make it work! I am good at anything!”

When I came in, the reaction was different.

It was quick and good.

“Come on, number three, go to the other room, and the rest follow me.”

Sambok also took care of everything and organized it well.

***

“Whew, Chansu. It is over.”

“How many successful applicants are there?”

It took quite a while to get 500 people to shout slogans one by one. The sun was already setting.

“There are 32 male class leaders and 120 female workers.”

“Hey, even though you picked that many, are there that many?”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to see a coffin now?”

“No, I have to send someone to feed them.”

“……”

Sambok just looked at my face without saying anything.

He didn’t even try to understand me.

Could you please explain this one too? It was a look.

“What kind of eyes are you? It’s dinnertime, shouldn’t we feed the people and send them off?”

“No way… you’re not going to pass all of them, are you? No matter how much work there will be, if we pull all of them, we will be ruined.”

“That’s why they say they feed them and send them off. I don’t have time, go out here and order all the soup called soup.”

For 150 servings of soup, you would have to sweep the pots from the nearby soup restaurant.

“Whew, yes, if you tell me, you should do as you say. No matter what, the results are always good.”

“I’m Soondaegukbap! Plenty of perilla sesame powder!”

I shouted loudly on Sambok’s back as we headed out of the factory.

“ha…”

“Boss, do you buy us food too?”

“Absolutely. The former class presidents also worked hard today. I’ll go with this manager. Go and sweep away all the soup called soup.”

The class leaders also followed Sambok to the market, and soon after, the rice soup ladies loaded the whole pot onto a cart and crashed into the factory.

After all, ladies are the fastest.

“Come this way. It’s Sundaegukbap. Wolf! Wolf!”

“Wouldn’t the lady be better off with hot beef brisket hangover soup? Come on. Come on.”

“There is spicy market soup!! This is the most delicious.”

“What are you doing, everyone take one bowl at a time.”

“thank you. president.”

In an instant, the inside of the factory turned into a restaurant.

Ajumma competed with each other to see who would serve the rice soup first, and the passers-by in the first round accepted a bowl of rice soup, though bewildered.

“I have a final interview in an hour. There is plenty of time, so everyone enjoy your meal.”

“thank you.”

“eat a lot.”

Like in the 1960s, everyone was holding only spoons, and it was only after I picked up the spoon that everyone started to sip the rice soup.

Since spring was still far away, there was no better meal than hot soup.

I went up to the attic on the second floor with soup.

We ate while looking down on the first floor through the window.

It was nice to see the hustle and bustle.

The time to finish the meal was different, and the actions afterward were all different.

“How are you going to do your final interview?”

“What final interview? It’s over.”

“yes?”

I swung Sambok from the attic toward the window and stood it up.

“Look Carefully. There are kids over there who eat quickly and help clean up. They are the finalists.”

Those who pass the first round are the ones who are proud of themselves.

Among them, those who eat quickly and help with cleaning are the ones who really set an example and have strong bodies.

In a word, the best of the best.

“Crazy bastard. Are you picking in order of eating first?”

“Our biggest competitive advantage is speed. speed!”

“Speed… speed?”

“I am not kidding. there is a lot of money in the world It’s just scattered. The one who runs fast and picks it up first wins.”

“… For some reason, I get a feeling! Speed battle!”Read at noblemtl

Jjasik, the persimmon is good.

In a period of rapid growth like the 1960s and 1970s, speed is the key to competitiveness. The person who preoccupies a business item first and puts it on track becomes a chaebol.

The given time is even fair in the sense that it is the same for everyone.

“Go downstairs and drive them to one side. At this rate, I will mix with the dropouts.”

“okay. Speed battle!”

Sambok hurriedly went down to the first floor, ate a quick meal, and drove those who were cleaning to one side.

Even if I couldn’t do it, 9 class presidents and 48 female employees seemed to be enough.

“Did you eat well?”

“Yes!!!”

“Okay then, go home now.”

“??? yes? What about the final interview?”

“The final interview is over. Notification of acceptance will be given individually, so you can go back. Old class presidents, take them outside.”

“The exit is this way.”

“Success is notified individually. Get out this way. Come on.”

“Uh…”

The old class presidents drove the dropouts.

I fed them, so it was like they paid for the interview.

I locked the factory door and shouted into the machine room.

“Everyone, would you like to make some money with me?”

“uh? Boss, are we passing?”

“Yes, everyone passed.”

“Wow!”

“Let’s say we passed. pass!!!”

“I will make you earn money hotly. Let’s start with a monthly salary of 15,000 won.”

making money hotly.

It won’t be difficult if you are with these people in the super boom period when you make and sell.

“Wow!”

“Wow! 15,000 won!”

The people inside the machine room jumped up and down in delight at my words.

He was the first new employee of Daese Group.

***

fortnight later,

Borrowing money, hiring people, taking over factories, servicing looms, receiving yarn from Comet Nylon, and using it to test-produce fabrics, time flew by.

I’d say you’ve just done the initial setup.

Honestly, the time would have been longer if the yarn had not been properly delivered from Comet Nylon.

「Receipt: Daese Unemployment) Chan Su-woo

From: Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) Abdul Razak

Letter of credit opened.

Shipment and quantity requested: April 10th. 200,000 yards”

“Hey, Telex is so good. This is from Singapore, right?”

Sambok couldn’t take his eyes off the telegram coming in through the telex.

We finally installed telex and telephone in our company.

It took 15 days after applying, but it was the result obtained by paying the express fee.

“It’s an important document, so keep it organized.”

“So, how much does this cost? By the way, can we use such an expensive machine? You bought a car last week.”

Sambok had to say this.

It cost 50,000 won to install the phone, and 500,000 won for Telex, ten times that. By the standards of the 21st century, it was an enormous amount of money equivalent to 50 million won.

The company’s public car was also bought for 300,000 won.

“How does an exporter do business without a telex?”

“The basic fee is 8,000 won. If you have that much money, go to the bank and borrow it…”

“Sambok, what did you say about our competitiveness?”

“It’s a speed battle!”

Does someone you know so well say something like that?

Since Sambok is the guy I trust and entrust to Ansalim, I had to understand the strategy of speed battle.

It should be infused at every opportunity.

“When others wait for money, we have to get to where it is. You should never save investment in things that are ahead of others and save time. I’m not kidding.”

“okay. Okay, calm down.”

“You are a manager like me. You have to feel it, not know it.”

“I will keep that in mind. president. Calm down.”

When I repeatedly repeated about the speed battle, Sambok accepted it with a serious expression.

If an entrepreneur is stingy in investment, he will go bankrupt.

A company is like a living being, so you have to invest like crazy and make money as much as you invest.

A person cannot work without eating.

If possible, you should eat good things and drink good things so that you can work more energetically. If you have to eat only kimchi for every meal and work, what would a person do?

“Okay, I’ll do that. Did the takeover of the factory go well?”

“Yeah, the registration is finished. As you said, I put 25 million won in cash in front of the president of Chohong Bank and asked him to decide whether to hand over the factory, and he signed it at once. All bonds have been collectively burned.”

It was a natural result.

If the bank put the factory up for auction at 30 million won, it would have failed several times and won the bid for around 25 million won.

It’s far better to just hand it over to me than to go through the same trouble with the bank.

“Good job. Good work.”

“If you don’t have anything more to ask, let’s go down. Today is also the day the stock comes out.”

The Sambok guy laughed and liked it.

“Are the first products finally out? How is the quality?”

I pretended to be resolute in front of him, but to be honest, I was both excited and anxious.

“Quality will not be a problem. I heard that the class presidents of the district became thin in the four months. Is that all? Even at Comet Nylon, you changed only the yarn sample dozens of times to your annoyance. To be honest, the hair dye after that is the same no matter who does it.”

That was right.

Hyesung Hwang, the young president of Comet Nylon, worked really hard on the quality of the yarn.

More than dozens of samples were brought to find out the optimal blending ratio of cotton to nylon.

The former class presidents also worked hard.

He set up the Karl Meyer equipment perfectly for each yarn and spent many nights with me during the experiment.

In the end, the answer was that the fabric to be delivered to the customer had a blend ratio of 92:8 and 63:37 to nylon, respectively.

“Old class presidents.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Did you hear that the first article was dyed?”

“Yes, both green and yellow are in. I worked 500 yards in one run.”

“let’s see.”

500 yards is equivalent to 500 horses in Korean units. It is the minimum unit when subcontracting dyeing.

charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The fabric was hung on the machine and stretched out.

“How is it? president. Let’s see, boss.”

“First article? this?”

“Wow, the coloring is good. It’s neat.”

“Sure, Chief Lee. It was done at the best dyeing factory in Seongsu Industrial Complex. The color is so vivid that it even sparkles.”

Class leaders Gu and Sambok were satisfied while stroking the fabric. I was dumbfounded though.

I don’t know about the class presidents, but Sambok worked for a textile company, so I thought he would be able to dye it easily, but I thought he would be this bad…

No, was the concept of quality thin in the 1960s?

Chow.

I took the cutter for work and cut the fabric mercilessly.

“Take it and throw it away!”
