The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 162] A fish that meets the water is fluttering

Moon Jae-shin and Jin Jun-sik were very well aware of how the personnel of the steel mills took bribes and what methods they used.

why?

This is because the two of them tried and suffered from such methods while running a company called Myeongsan Steel.

He bought inspectors and paid them back to those in important positions in the steelworks.

‘I’m also amazingly good at smelling messy.’

In that sense, the Gangdong here smelled awful.

It’s also a rotten me, not the usual smell.

“Jun-sik, do you remember how we bought inspectors when we ran Myungsan?”

“Why not?”

“There is a saying that those who have done it know better. Isn’t it?”

Jin Jun-sik chuckled at Moon Jae-shin’s friendly tone.

Waste was not originally his main sport, so he stepped back and watched from behind.

Moon Jae-shin’s role was to simply follow the operation of Si-woo Lee.

But here, the Gangdong Works is different.

Although he knows less about waste than Siwoo Lee, scrap iron was his main specialty.

“I can move around like a fish in the water after a long time. Whoops.”

* * *

As Jin Jun-sik said, the two roamed around the Gangdong Works to the extent that there was no fish in the water.

In particular, it was the scene that the two focused on.

“What? these are hungry How often do you change your car?”

Inspectors who checked the condition of scrap metal at the Gangdong Works were gathered in a line.

As Moon Jae-shin exposed the lid, scrap metal mixed with dirt and dirt poured out.

“CEO Jin, did you say that the defect rate is increasing every year?”

“Yes, Vice President. The defect rate is increasing by 5% every year.”

“It’s not cool. Because the inspectors do not do it properly, the defect rate is bound to increase. Send me out.”

The top shareholder has changed overnight.

Due to the last investigation of the incinerator, Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office became quite popular.

The general public did not think much of it, but these affiliates were very interested in Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office.

The famous Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office entered Gangdong.

Especially when the scrap metal was unloaded at the site, it was like a nuclear bomb dropped to the inspectors who inspected it.

‘Who knew that Nuri’s deputy representative would personally inspect the site!’

In fact, Moon Jae-shin was a more fearful opponent to the inspectors than the strategic secretary.

Before becoming the vice president of Nuri, he was the CEO of a company called Myungsan.

It has been supplying Daehan Steel, which is ten times larger than Gangdong, for many years.

“Inspector, is this right now?”

In the eyes of Moon Jae-shin, who looked at him coldly, the inspector Kim Se-hoon, who manages Kang-dong’s inspectors, swallowed his saliva.

“sorry.”

“I’m not going to end up with a single word I’m sorry. When I inspect all departments in Gangdong for a week, I do not forget that the most uncooperative place to hand over the data was the inspection room.”

The inspectors were surprisingly young.

Those who manage them are made up of old veterans, but the inspectors are uniquely made up of people in their twenties.

This is because they had to have good eyesight in a situation where they had to inspect scrap metal through CCTV.

And I needed young people who could quickly respond to variables, so I mainly worked as an inspector.

“that… … .”

“The excuse will not work. By now, we must have retrieved all the materials from the inspection room from the strategic secretary’s office.”

At the appearance of Moon Jae-shin, all the inspectors who were confined to the inspection room were on the scene.

The department that acted uncooperatively and closed the most during the week was the inspection room.

There were two reasons for bringing them into the field.

One is to make you realize how crazy the scene is.

The other is to buy time for the staff of the Strategic Secretariat to facilitate data collection.

“Hey, what do you mean? Recovering the data from the inspection room… … .”

“The change in the top shareholder means that the structure of Lee Kang-dong’s power has changed.”

“… … .”

“CEO Lee Si-woo is different from me. Now you will feel it.”

When Moon Jae-shin visited each department for a week, the departments prioritized organizing the data.

Heads of departments lined up for different executives.

The emphasis was placed on fitting the data so that they were not harmed.

‘Even if the data is retrieved, you will not be able to find the hidden files.’

It was a situation where important data was hidden or deleted.

No matter how good Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office is, I was relieved that even the deleted data would not be found.

But who knows?

The fact that Seon Woo-hyeon, a new member of the strategic secretary office, is terrified of one computer.

“I am proud. The same goes for the inspectors here.”

Moon Jae-shin smiled as he looked up with his shoulders open and confident.

Interestingly, out of the ten departments, only the president’s office and the vice president’s office were friendly to Moon Jae-shin.

That means all eight departments fell into the hands of executives.

‘I don’t know how much I ate, but it’s not good for our CEO, these guys.’

If Siwoo Lee had been watching from behind, it was clear that many of the corruptions would have disappeared.

It gave me a lot of time for a week.

But will they be able to match the data while avoiding the strategic secretary’s office?

“Long and short, you have to see. Let’s see if the chief inspector can be proud.”

* * *

Strategic Secretariat where staff gather.

Their office, located on one side of the Gangdong Works, was reminiscent of a battlefield.

“Bring the lab materials! How the hell did they spend on maintenance?”

“The data review is not over yet, Manager!”

“It’s already been a day, but it’s still not organized?!”

“sorry. The data is jagged. I don’t know how many times these have been modified, but they are serious.”

The word ‘serious’ was an understatement.

What each department did for a week was the manipulation of data.

Hidden data or deleted files were being restored in Seon Woo-hyun’s activities.

However, no matter how talented Seon Woo-hyun was, it took time for him to revive the vast amount of data.

“It was very mangled.”

Mu-jin Yeom was the busiest person looking at the data right now.

He tapped the keyboard non-stop and made his head fully operational.

There’s nothing more annoying than reviewing a tangled mess of data.

If you get one right, the other is a problem.

Mu-yeol Lee laughed at the sight of Mu-jin Yeom sighing.

“If it goes like this for a month, it won’t be sorted out. Which department is the most disgruntled?”

“Of course the accounting and finance teams.”

“What about audit room data?”

“Oh, it’s even more serious there.”

If this goes on, the investigation will be delayed as much as Si-woo Lee wants.

I had to make a decision.

“Among the eight departments, start with the most serious departments. It’s the audit room, because the representative says that he will go directly. From the accounting and treasury departments, they robbed everything.”

“Okay. Hey guys! Did you hear what the manager said?”

Forty staff from the Strategic Secretariat moving from this office responded simultaneously.

“Yes, I heard!”

“First of all, stick to the accounting and finance team! If you rob them, eventually other departments will also be robbed.”

The time was already approaching the end of the day.

5pm.

However, the heat of the strategic secretary’s office did not stop.

I could see a room made up of them in their busy lives.

Si-woo Lee, who was directly conducting the investigation of the audit office, showed a serious expression while examining the materials brought from the strategic secretary’s office.

‘All of the data in the audit room is inconsistent. The monthly operating costs they go through are huge. But I don’t have any proper data.’

The total number of people in the audit office is forty.

It was similar to the number of people in the strategic secretary’s office.

However, there are forty people, and it is absurd to say that the monthly operating cost is this much.

It was three times the operating cost of the strategic secretary’s office.

‘The audit office is not functioning, so it’s a rip off. Grandpa wouldn’t have appointed a clumsy person as the head of the audit room… How did this happen?’

There is no way that the only competent people by Shin Won-seon’s side are Won Jae-joon and Jang Han-seo.

If so, what the hell was the audit room left for?

There must have been a reason to keep a department that wouldn’t be strange if it disappeared.

‘If you look at the data, the whole department started to break down about a year ago.’

It meant that from the time Shin Ae-ra became Kang Dong’s president until now, things have been messed up.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find an answer.

Siwoo got up from his seat and went outside.

“CEO, Director Ik-sun Woo, the head of the audit office has arrived.”

No face-to-face interview was decided.

At Lee Mu-yeol’s sudden words, Lee Si-woo checked the time.

6:30 p.m.

The time has passed for Gangdong’s employees to leave work.

A middle-aged man with stubborn eyes bowed his head.

“It is only now that I can greet you. My name is Ik-seon Right, the head of the audit office, sir.”

“I was still thinking about seeing you once, but you came to me like this. Manager Lee, just two cups of coffee, please.”

“Yes, sir.”

I entered the room with the right wing.

He clicked his tongue as he looked at the space with nothing but desks and chairs.

“First of all, I would like to thank the CEO for his hard work as an employee at the Gangdong Works.”

“no. As an outsider, I know that stepping out can be negative for employees.”

“How can you say that you are an outsider? Aren’t you the one who will become the president’s future granddaughter-in-law?”

It was a space that looked like it was only about 10 square feet.

It did not seem like a space given to those who worked hard for the Gangdong Works.

“Thank you, why does the Audit Office exist? I looked at the data, and nothing was right.”

“Now, the Gangdong Works is divided into several branches.”

If you dig into the details, it was a place with many problems.

Due to its large size, it has reached the point where proper management is difficult.

It was also due to growing too fast.

Even before the inspection, annual sales exceeded 1 trillion won.

“At the ironworks, the executives who worked with you and the new executives are in conflict.”

Those who were there in order to keep their place.

And the newcomers constantly clash to catch up with the existing vested interests.

Shin Won-sun stepped forward to suppress it, but even that was to no avail.

The executives who watched him began to raise their claws one by one.

“The president must have been under a lot of stress.”

“CEO, the chairman cannot afford to worry about Kang Dong. I was debating whether to say this or not, but now the audit office is not able to contain it.”

Lee Si-woo had an intuition at the determined expression of the right wing-sun.

That being able to contain it is not an executive’s problem.

So what is he talking about?

“no way… What happened to the president?”

“Tomorrow, there will be a major press release. The president was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year ago.”

“yes?”

It was the first time I heard this story.

“Fortunately, it was detected early and the operation went well. However, not long ago, the brain tumor recurred. It was stage 1 then, but now he was diagnosed with stage 3 brain tumor. I don’t have much time now, Chairman.”

At most, he was sentenced to half a year, and at the shortest, only a few months.

I was sentenced three months ago, so I don’t really have much time left.

“… … .”

“A lot of effort has been put into hiding this fact.”

“But why is it that it is only being reported now?”

“You must be wondering why the operating expenses of the audit office are so high.”

“I was curious, but after listening to the head of the Audit Office, I don’t think there is any need to be curious anymore.”

“We spent a lot of money to prevent articles from appearing. The moment the president’s physical condition is revealed, the Gangdong Works will be seriously injured.”

“… It won’t end with the stock’s decline.”

“So I was blocking it, but the president said there was no need for that anymore.”

head was fully activated.

We had to think about why Shin Won-sun was trying to reveal his physical condition to the media.

“no way… The reason you transferred the stock to me… … .”

“Even if the report comes out now, Gangdong will not be shaken.”

The right winger got up from his seat and put his hands together.

And with all my heart, I bowed my back 90 degrees.

“I believe that Kang-Dong will be stronger than before as long as CEO Lee Si-Woo is present. Ik-sun Woo, head of the audit office, meets the 2nd president of the Gangdong Works.”
