Investor That Can See The Future

Chapter 204

I remembered my father.

The father in my memory was blunt.

Being a small business owner is not an easy job. When the delivery date was triggered, he stayed at the company on weekdays and weekends, and when he came home after a long time, he always slept.

Still, there were days when he found time to eat out with his family or drive to amusement parks and beaches.

As a child, he occasionally went to his father’s company to play. The men in oily work clothes called me the little boss and gave me pocket money without my father’s knowledge.

When I became a college student, I was busy playing with my girlfriend and studying, and my father was also busy with work, so we didn’t see each other very often.

The most important people are known when they’re gone rather than when they’re around. It was only after he died that I realized what my father was to me.

If you were alive, what would you say if you saw me now?

Even if I have the ability to see the future, I cannot change the past. So I will never be able to see my father again.

Eunseong tea ruined our family and caused his father to die. And Park Si-hyung touched not only me, but also the precious people around me, such as his mother, Taek-gyu, and Sang-yeop senior.

So these two are definitely my enemies.

One is the president of a leading conglomerate in Korea, and the other is the president of the country. If he was a normal person, he might have felt the pressure.

Why didn’t a reporter in the past tell President Park Si-hyeong that he felt the aura like 100 fluorescent lights turned on?

I had high hopes that I would be able to feel such an aura if I saw it in person, but unfortunately, there was no such thing.

So, the giraffes are… … .

Further, there was no excitement.

Come to think of it, I’ve met a lot of great people during that time. Golden Gate CEO James C. Goldman, Berkshire Cashier Chairman Warren Bott, US President Ronald Stamper, etc.

Compared to those people, Park Si-hyung is nothing.

“You are the enemy. Even if I say… … .”

Han Min-gu and Park Si-hyung looked puzzled, probably because they had heard that they were enemies in front of them.

Park Si-hyung put down his chopsticks as if he had lost his appetite.

“Well, I might be the only one who thinks that way.”

The guy who hit him doesn’t really care. He only regrets the one who got hit.

I looked at Chairman Han Min-koo and asked.

“You know DHK Engineering, right?”

he said with a sigh.

“I heard about it.”

“Did you direct it?”

Chairman Han Min-koo shook his head at my question.

“I didn’t know such a thing had happened.”

Perhaps this statement is true.

In Korea, it is common for large corporations to take technology from SMEs and cut off supply. DHK Engineering is one of the many companies that supply to Eunsung car tertiary vendors.

There would have been no need to report to the chairman line. Is there one or two small and medium-sized enterprises that Eunsung Motors has ruined in such a way?

If it wasn’t for me, I wouldn’t even need to know that such a company existed.

Park Si-hyung said as if giving advice.

“I went through a lot of things when I was young. I know because I’ve been in business, but there have been many times when I’ve been dishonored.”

“… … .”

Is it the so-called ‘I know because I’ve tried it’ series, which can be called a proprietary patent?

For small business owners who are having a hard time because of lack of business, ‘I know because I do business’, for young people who are struggling because they can’t get a job, ‘I know because I went to work’, and even in front of victims who lost their homes in floods, ‘I know because I’m homeless. ‘ is famous for saying.

Is it even possible to say that the only thing Park Si-hyung hasn’t done is his military service?

“Why don’t you forget all the bad things in the past and do better in the future?”

I tilted my head.

“I don’t know what to do well. I don’t even know why I have to forget all the bad things in the past.”

There are things in the world that you want to forget, but you cannot forget.

“And isn’t that what the victim is supposed to say? If the guy who beat you up tells you to forget it and have a good time, what happens to the guy who got hit?”

Park Si-hyung tightly closed her thin lips.

awhile… … Have you ever thought of yourself as a victim?

“If there is a misunderstanding, can’t we solve it here?”

“Is that so?”

I asked him.

“Cheongwadae secretary Lee Il-sun ordered the Parents’ Union to go to Dongtan and hold a protest. Do you have anything to say about it?”

Park Si-hyung had a sad expression on his face.

“It was something I never knew. A skit created by the secretary’s over-loyalty. What era would you have been able to do something like that? Anyway, the fault of the subordinate is my fault, so I apologize.”

I nodded.

“i See. So what about the NIS employee who commented that my mother went to the host bar with her son’s money? Is that over-loyalty?”

“Hey, did that happen?”

“The prosecution who caught my friend, the National Intelligence Service inspecting the employees, and the National Tax Service conducting a tax investigation. There are so many civil servants in this country who are so loyal that they can’t control themselves.”

Perhaps he thought he was being sarcastic, Park Si-hyung’s expression hardened a bit. He was just telling the truth.

“And overloyalty, who are you loyal to? It’s not like the president breaks a piggy bank to pay those people’s salaries. It’s all given out of the people’s taxes.”

Of course, the target they should be loyal to is not the president, but the country and the people.

Power-type corruption cannot be committed alone. This is possible only with the cooperation of the subordinates. They were willing to serve as the president’s shield whenever problems arose.

When the issue of illegal inspections by the National Intelligence Service broke out in the past, there was a suspicion that the Blue House was also involved. At that time, the second deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, Lee Myung-ho, came forward and claimed that he was the torso, taking all responsibility.

Afterwards, in the first trial, a sentence of one year in prison and two years of probation for abuse of power was given, and neither the prosecution nor Lee Myung-ho appealed, so the sentence was confirmed. And it was forgotten in everyone’s memory.

Where is Lee Myung-ho now and what is he doing?

Surprisingly, he set up a subcontractor to supply PAS and became a full-fledged president.

Hong Man-ho, who had resigned from the position of prosecutor-general after being responsible for the unreasonable investigation, took him to a law firm with Eunsung Motor’s largest customer, and Yoon Se-won, the head of the National Intelligence Service, took a job as an outside director of Eunseong’s primary vendor.

Perhaps Lee Il-sun, the secretarial secretary of the Blue House, who is now in hiding, also received a promise for a position.

Burying someone who needs to be silenced in concrete or in the mountains is the old fashioned way. With money and power, anything can be solved.

But now Park Si-hyung’s term of office is only a few months away. After the presidential election, the presidential election ends in February next year.

If not for Eunsung Cha and PAS, what can they promise in return?

There was silence in the room for a while.

I broke the silence and asked.

“What made you want to see me?”

Chairman Han Min-koo said.

“I heard that Karos is conducting a silver-star crash test.”

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

Buying and analyzing a competitor’s product is something every company does. When Seoseong Electronics first made a smartphone, it took an En-phone, thoroughly disassembled it, analyzed it, and released the L1. And after that, NPL filed a $2.5 billion patent infringement lawsuit against Suseong Electronics… … .

In any case, it is natural to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of competitors’ products, but it is rare to conduct a crash test. It’s no different than trying to find weaknesses openly and publicize them.

So, other automakers are watching this closely. It’s okay if they watch good things and eat rice cakes anyway. Wouldn’t it be good for each other if a competitor was destroyed even though the market was already difficult?

“For what?”

I told you frankly.

“I suspect the airbag is defective. We’ll also try to keep that in mind when we receive airbags in the future.”

Chairman Han Min-koo drank water when his throat was burnt. I too have been thirsty since before, but I didn’t even touch the cup in front of me.

“Stop crash testing.”

“Why?”

“If Eunsung Motor is shaken, the entire domestic manufacturing industry is shaken. If you are CEO Kang Jin-hoo, you will know it well.”

Most SMEs in Korea are subcontractors to large corporations. Therefore, when large corporations cough, small businesses catch a cold.

Consumer sentiment slumped due to the shock of Big One, and car sales plummeted. In this situation, if there is a problem with the car, companies that have reached their limit will go bankrupt one after another.

From the point of view of those companies, they are harmed without doing anything wrong.

Park Si-hyung said.

“Shouldn’t we be thinking about the national economy?”

Business-friendly even in this situation!

“I understand that you value the economy like the president of the economy, but… … .”

I’m not sure if I’m worried about the national economy or PAS.

I laughed out loud.

“You two seem to be making a big mistake.”

“what… … ?”

“If this convinces me to shut up, it won’t end. There have been quite a few cases of airbag explosions and malfunctions in Eunseong car. More than a dozen of them were killed. When I checked it, it was found that it was an older car rather than a new car, and it occurred in an area with high humidity. Did you have PAS airbags 6 years ago? If there are no defects, there will be no problems, but if there are really defects, wouldn’t the explosion start now?”

Both would have understood what I was saying.

The thoughts so far are only the beginning. How many airbags will explode in the future? If I try to hide it, can I keep hiding it?

I am not talking about social justice or an upright conscience.

A company is a group that seeks profit. So, how can businesses benefit?

When the recalled L6 exploded again, Chairman Im Jin-yong made the decision to discontinue it without delay. The damage suffered at that time was enormous, but on the contrary, the decision saved Suh Sung Electronics.

If they had delayed and responded passively, they would have really had to withdraw from the smartphone market.

Chairman Han Min-koo said in a heavy voice.

“It takes time.”

“The time would have been enough. Didn’t you know about the airbag defect 5 years ago?”

In various circumstances, Eunsung recognized the problem of airbags relatively early. If I had reacted quickly then, there would have been no problem.

So, why didn’t you take any action? The reason is, of course, that the company that supplied the airbags was PAS.

Toyota also recognized the sudden acceleration flaw and covered it up for six years. When it was later revealed, the U.S. Department of Justice imposed a $1.2 billion fine, and brand credibility plummeted.

This time too, if the fact that Eun Sung Cha knew and concealed it was revealed, a similar thing would happen.

A company can make a defective product. But knowing that and hiding it is unforgivable.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Park Si-hyung looked straight at me and asked.

“What do you want?”

“I do not know.”

Chairman Han Min-koo looked at me and said.

“I am truly sorry and sorry for your father’s work. I will kneel in front of the cemetery and apologize.”

Chairman Eun Sung Cha apologizes to his father… … .

What would your father think if he heard this?

“My father is not enshrined in a graveyard, but in an ossuary.”

Aren’t most people wearing makeup these days? Well, chaebols would prefer stores because they have Seonsan.

Anyway, I was tired of thinking about both.

“Instead of apologizing to my father who has passed away now, shouldn’t we be worried about the customers of Eunsung Motors who may be dying in the future?”

Entrepreneurs count everything in money.

So, how much does a person’s life cost? Even if dozens of people die in the future, is it enough to just avoid losses from the recall right away?

I took some pictures from my inner pocket and put them on the table.

It was a photo of a dummy pulled out of a dispatch test vehicle. Shards of metal were lodged in the chest, neck and face.

“This is the picture I got before I came here. It was confirmed that the fragments were blown up the chest according to the direction of the airbag deployment. A shard of metal pierced his neck completely. Airbags are the last safety device to protect the lives of occupants in an accident, but these are just killer airbags. At this rate, it would be safer for the airbag not to deploy.”

Park Si-hyung and Han Min-goo looked at the photo with surprised expressions.

The crash tests were conducted under the supervision of experts, and were all recorded.

Now we just need to find out that this isn’t just an accident, it’s a structural defect. Professor Pil-Hyeon Park is already working.

What will happen if this happens?

Even if it’s a silver car, PAS will definitely go bankrupt. And the relationship between Eunseong Cha and PAS and the question of who PAS is will arise again.

I got up.

“Let’s just get up. I have an appointment.”

As I was about to leave the room, I heard Park Si-hyung’s voice from behind.

“Do you think it will be okay with this?”

Are you still president?

Thank you for taking care of me… … .

“Isn’t it better to start worrying about yourself?”
