This Is How I Became a Chaebol Chapter 14

014 : Do you know the feeling

“Chansu, what are you doing! It’s an export quantity.”

“Shut up, Chief Lee. How do you export a product like this? Are you going to ruin the company?”

The atmosphere froze in an instant when I addressed Sambok as manager Lee and straightened up.

This is how the first export started with quality, and the mainstream group became like that.

Chairman Woo, in his previous life, who constantly increased subcontractors and merged companies, saying that technology can be purchased, started like this.

You can’t taste the money with such a cheap product.

“Old class presidents, come here. How does this look?”

At this point, I made up my mind to solidify my education. I called the former class presidents who were full of fear and looked at the fabric.

“Sniff sniff. It smells like new clothes, but…”

“The thread at the end is a bit loose, but I think it should be trimmed cleanly when shipping. president.”

“Dyeing makes the fabric a bit stiff, so I will straighten it out in the machine. president.”

“Haaa… these nobles…”

It was absurd.

The class presidents did not recognize the problem itself.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to work, so I turned around.

The standard for product quality was too low, probably because they hadn’t seen the right product.

“Chansu… No, boss. What do you not like? I told you. This is a product commissioned from the best dyeing factory in Seongsu-dong.”

Sambok touched my temper.

Even if the class presidents say it’s okay, you shouldn’t.

“This is the best! The dye is all over your hands. And can’t you see this stain? The color is different here and there. And it’s not enough that the fabric has fluff, so it’s wrinkled! How customers make clothes with this! As soon as you make it, it’s an old clothes! Did you say this was dyed? Call those bastards right now! Make them pay for my fabric!”

I pulled out a new car and gave it to him to polish it, and it was as if the car had been ripped apart, from the engine to the seats.

“It’s natural that this is an ear infection, and a stain… It’s just a slightly different color.”

“If you were like me, would you order something like this again? Do you want to do business? uh?”

“……”

“We have to make money by selling this fabric. It’s not just one time, it’s to keep selling. Aren’t you going to be rich?”

“The rich should be…”

“Then you shouldn’t do this!”

“……”

“What kind of expression is that? Don’t you want to do it right?”

“If you want to do better than this, you should send it to Japan. There is no better place in Korea than this…”

“What Japan! I need to find a place that does it right in Korea.”

To be honest, I don’t know much about dyeing.

However, I know that exports will never increase in this way. No, it was fortunate that there were no complaints after exporting.

“Boss, if you wash the fabric a few times and straighten it with a machine, it might be okay.”

“Sounds useless! Old clothes must be washed before they become old clothes. These are already old clothes!”

Poo! Poo!

I ripped up all the remaining fabric with my work cutter and threw it in the front yard of the factory.

Lubricant was poured over it.

“Ugh! Chansu! That’s all money! money.”

Sambok came running in surprise.

He grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let go.

“Shut up! this is not money It’s poison. If we sell products like this, our factory will go bankrupt! It’s a job, it’s nabal, it’s all gone!”

“Who is ruined? Even if you don’t like it, they’ll all be sold out at the village market. i will sell If you sell all of this, you will get 300,000 won.”

I’m going to burn it

“Listen to me. If we sell this, we’ll be cheap from that moment on. Are you going to live your whole life listening to cheap sounds? Do you want to sell things on the market floor for the rest of your life? We are an export company! Exporting makes you rich! won’t you be rich? Can’t you!”

The mainstream group was like that.

They neglected technology development and went all-in only on mid-priced products while being wary of tanks, so they lost their growth engine.

No matter how good your marketing is, a manufacturing company without its own technology has its limits.

“You will be rich. will export We will export!”

“Then burn it! Burn it!”

“Haa, Chansu… but this is…”

“Shut up and burn! What are the old class presidents doing! Bring all the defective items! Burn everything!”

“president…”

“I, the boss, give orders! burn everything! I’d rather bite my tongue and die than sell cheap.”

I did the best wipe out of all the wipes I’ve ever done.

Fed up with my spirit, Sambok and the class leaders gathered the fabric and set it on fire.

The smoke wasn’t too bad because it was a nylon-based fabric, but the smell of burning hair from red flames filled the air everywhere.

I woke up so wide that the female employees who had been watching from the side of my eye trembled, and even the passers-by outside the factory stopped to watch.

“If you produce this crap again, the factory will burn down! If it’s going to be ruined, it’s less painful if it’s ruined quickly!”

“Boss, fix it. Everyone listens.”

I’m doing this so everyone can hear it.

“Do you think I can’t? Shall we start a fire right now?”

“Dong-gu class president, take the boss. Seung-gu, captain of Yonggu! Come on.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Each of you bring a roll of fabric waiting to be dyed. Today, let’s take a tour of the dyeing factory. hurry!”

Ugh, you act because you say shit.

I need to be sure that I’m going to spend money on it.

“Let it go, let it go! I will burn everything! All of it!!!”

“Dong-gu class president! Come on and drag it! Lock it in the boss’s office and lock it with a padlock. Since we are friends who do what we do, we might set fire to a real factory. hurry!”

“Yes, boss.”

As I struggled, other employees jumped out and grabbed my arms and legs and carried me to the boss’s office.

The president’s office was an attic room the size of a snot, so if you locked the door from the outside, it was like a prison.

“Don’t ever take out the boss until I come back. Understand!”

“Yes, boss.”

Sambok loaded the car full of fabrics and left the factory. Yes, that’s why I bought the car.

Even in Korea, if you are looking for a dyeing expert, you will definitely find one.

“Whew…”

Being locked up alone in the boss’s office, I gradually calmed down.

To be honest, I was so angry that I couldn’t stand it.

“Shipment quality specifications”

– When washing in clean water with a neutral detergent, there should be no water loss or discoloration.

– When observed under natural light, it is defective if there are oil stains or discoloration over 2% of the total area.

– If the lint generation area is more than 2%, it is defective.

– If the dimensional change after dyeing is more than 2%, it is defective.

I sat down at my desk and wrote out the rough shipping specifications. If you want to be ambiguous in engineering, you can just use 2% as a specification standard.

To the human eye, if there is a difference of about 2% in color, volume, or length, then something feels strange.

Physically, there is such a 2% rule, but psychologically, there are quite a few.

Whatever business starts to replace 2% of the existing market share, it enters the growth phase, and the economic growth rate is also divided into low growth and high growth based on 2%.

“I struggled so much that I was exhausted.”

He lay flat on the attic floor.

I could still hear the sound of the fabric being pulled out at the factory, but I didn’t feel as good as yesterday.

I never thought I’d get caught up in dyeing.

It seems that I looked at the technology of the 60s too funny, saying that I am a 21st century person.

Well, I’m the one who didn’t even know the ‘me’ in nylon until I returned.

If you are a newbie, you need to be humble like a newbie.

‘With this opportunity, we must constantly plant the concept of quality. It would have been a big deal if I had left it alone.’

Looking at it in the long run, I thought the defect exploded well.

I was lying on the floor and it was difficult to get up.

Even though I took a nap in the middle, I wondered when was the last time I slept soundly all night.

***

smart.

“Look, Mr. Wu. Are you alive?”

“Ugh!”

I heard a knock on the door of the car I was wandering about.

“Hey, he’s alive. It’s me, Comet Nylon Sulfur inspiration.”

“What are you doing here, old man?”

Hwang’s voice was heard through the gap in the door.

clap. clap.

I tried to open the door, but the staff really locked the door with a padlock.

“I heard they made a fuss about burning the fabric and even setting the factory on fire? Is that why you are locked up like this?”

“The name is an export product, but the quality is shit. You should have seen it yourself.”

“It’s obvious if you don’t look. That’s why Japanese guys snort at our products.”

“… The yarn we received from Comet Nylon exceeded our expectations. It wasn’t a yarn problem, it was poor dyeing.”

Even if it wasn’t because of Comet Nylon, Hwang’s expression didn’t change.

It’s like he didn’t come to check it out.

“I’ve never seen a boss with a bad temper like you. I need to help the country too. It won’t solve it, but it will help.”

“Does the old man know how to dye his hair?”

I was surprised that old man Hwang would help me.

Well, it’s small, but the person who builds a nylon polymerization plant can’t be an ordinary person.

“My father was conscripted into Japanese synthetics and from the time he built the factory…”

“done. It’s something I want to forget. Come on, open the door.”

“Yes, Father.”

huh? My son, CEO Hwang Hye-seong, also came with me.

President Hwang Hye-seong, who will become the chairman of Hyesung Group in the future, is also a fairly talented chemical engineer, but it seems that old man Hwang was more technically genius.

“Hyeseong-ah, come with President Woo and the fabric. I’ll go first and get some hair dye.”

“Yes, Father.”

To stimulate the staff, the fabric was set on fire, and the Hwang family flew in using the flame as a lighthouse.

***

“Father, we are here.”

“If you brought the fabric, wash it clean.”

“Yes, Father.”

I followed President Hwang Hye-seong across the nylon factory and headed to the backyard.

The drum was cut in half, filled with water, and boiled over a gas fire.

President Hwang Hye-seong put the fabric in hot water and started to wash it according to Hwang’s words.

Bringing a large wooden spatula and stirring it was not a skill he had done once or twice.

“What are you doing?”

“You need to dissolve a small amount of detergent in water at 30 degrees Celsius to remove impurities and oil stains from the fabric. It is preparation work for dyeing.”

“When was there a dye line here?”

“This is my father’s laboratory.”

“A lab?”

“Yes, my father was conscripted during the Japanese occupation and worked in a textile factory. At that time, they said that he stepped on the fabric with his bare feet in the washing tub, not with a spatula.”

“Do you step on it yourself? Can I?”

No matter how hot the bath was at 30 degrees Celsius, if I continued to work, my feet would swell and feel like they would burn.

“Of course not. My father lost his toenails so much that now he has no toenails at all.”

“… this…”

“My father made a promise while crossing the Genhae Sea after liberation. He said he would make clothes that are better than those made in Japan. Since they want to do everything from thread spinning to cutting with our own technology, dyeing is of course essential.”

Huh, from the yarn to the altar… It’s amazing, isn’t it?

I could understand why Hyesung Group was so obsessed with the textile business.

In addition to old man Hwang’s tenacity, CEO Hwang Hye-seong wanted to achieve his father’s dream even if it was passed down from generation to generation.

“Why are you talking nonsense?”

“It is not a word. father.”

“Let’s do something quick.”

Old Man Hwang was a technician who was stingy in expressing emotions, but his son, CEO Hwang Hye-seong, was quite friendly.

He was a well-to-do rich man.

“Thank you for your help.”

“How do you know if it will help or not? I’m just trying it out, so you don’t have to talk like that.”

Old Man Hwang was quite a perfectionist.

He said that he would wait and see whether I would be satisfied with the quality of the dye.

“I just want to thank you for coming out here.”

“Okay, what color do you want?”

“It’s yellow and green.”

I laid out a fabric sample I got from Singapore. There are orders for other colors, but first of all, the yellow and green orders requested by Razak were the most urgent at 200,000 yards, and the quantity was high.

“It’s the color of mango, the color of a forest.”

“Yes that’s right.”

It was an accurate expression.

“Father, start with the mango color. That’s easy.”

“So be it.”

Hwang Hye-seong, the president of the company, brought a lot of dyes and various glass bottles from somewhere.

Old Man Hwang put it in a can and stirred it to create colors.

“Sir, the color seems too dark…”

“No, this is just right. That way, when you wash it later, the color will come out properly.”

“That… I see.”

It wasn’t dark enough, but it even had a reddish aura, and it was surprising that it turned yellow when dyed.

“Come on, taste it.”

“Yes, it sucks. Whoops… Whoops. I think I need to add a little more acetic acid and sodium carboxyl. father.”

“okay? Awesome. Whoops… Whoops. Really.”

Two crazy, rich people were having a fair, tasting canned water with dye.

As if seasoning a sauce, adding all sorts of chemicals and repeating the taste.

‘Glacial acetic acid, sodium carboxyl, sorbitol, ethylenediamine, sodium benzoate…’Read at noblemtl

Just looking at the name of the medicine written on the glass bottle could never be good for health, but I did not hesitate to taste it.

No matter how much I spit it out after tasting it, I wondered if I could stick my tongue out like that without hesitation.

“Why do you look like that? President Woo, would you like to taste it?”

It’s real. the real one appeared
