The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 31] Moon Kwang-Woon’s Joining

“Director Kang, today is the last day.”

“That’s it, Director Jin.”

Moon Jae-shin, who met Lee Si-woo this morning, informed Jin Jun-sik of Kang Pil-joong’s return.

Even so, for more than a month, Jin Jun-sik felt sad to think that the person he had always moved with was leaving.

“Then you will finish your work today and go back to Nuri tomorrow.”

“I think so. Because the CEO ordered me to return before starting the wall construction.”

Above all, it was originally intended to aggressively sell scrap metal.

However, there was a situation that had to push back that time, but Siwoo Lee had no intention of intentionally reducing the amount of scrap metal.

“Oh, and this friend is Moon Kwang-woon, the CEO’s son.”

“I know this from our representative. Have you made a decision?”

“yes. When Director Kang returned to Nuri, Kwangwoon decided to join as well.”

It was a place I loved, but this was not where Kang Pil-jung was supposed to be.

For Jin Jun-sik, an important person who had discussed and decided on everything would disappear.

It was difficult to find a like-minded colleague, but that didn’t stop him from being by Si-woo Lee’s side.

‘If it wasn’t for CEO Lee, I would have persuaded him to remain in the famous mountain… I’m sorry.’

There was a time when a driver who pulled a tong truck and went to the scene suddenly collapsed from abdominal pain.

It happened not long after Kang Pil-joong went to work with the Myeongsan Steel.

Fortunately, Jin Jun-sik and Kang Pil-joong, who were nearby, rushed to the scene.

A site where electric wires were attached one after the other, and scrap metal was placed next to the electric pole.

Because of the difficult surrounding terrain, Jun-sik Jin thought about it for a long time.

Should I withdraw as it is, or should I take the risk?

Meanwhile, Kang Pil-jung walked up to the top of the tongs with his arms crossed.

Even the people in the field admired his tongs skills.

Jin Jun-sik admired the way he handled it more efficiently than the knight who collapsed from stomach pain.

Since then, the clamp drivers have asked for help from Pil-Joong Kang as soon as there is a difficult scene.

He silently helped the knights without saying a single word of dislike.

‘He has a friendly personality and knowledge of scrap metal. He is a person who is so skilled that he can’t even speak.’

I followed Jin Jun-sik to learn business, but the existence of Kang Pil-jung was a great help to Jin.

The same was true for sales.

‘If it doesn’t work the first time, I go back the next day, and if that doesn’t work, I go there whenever I have time. In terms of sales, Manager Kang might be more talented than me… … .’

“My name is Kwang-Woon Moon, manager.”

Moon Kwang-woon looked at Kang Pil-jung with bright eyes.

This is because he also heard a lot over his shoulder from the staff praising Kang Pil-jung.

He had more than 10 years of experience working as a tongsman, and the prevailing evaluation was that he was a man of humility.

“I’ll make it easy for you. Are you fine?”

“of course.”

“Let’s do well in the future. Watch and learn from the representative.”

After a short greeting, Kang Pil-joong looked at Jin Jun-sik with a sad expression on his face.

“I heard the news that the stock was restricted. Things have become difficult.”

“Fortunately, most of the piled up scrap metal has been removed, so it shouldn’t be that much of a loss. However, how long will this situation last… … .”

“There are good times and there are bad times. It will be a difficult time, but you will persevere.”

“I’m glad that CEO Nouri understood the current situation in Myeongsan.”

“Oh, come to think of it, there is something our CEO wanted to convey to Director Jin.”

“Please speak.”

“He said that he had paid off all his debts with this.”

Moon Jae-shin, who made the advance deposit, and Jin Jun-sik, who accepted Kang Pil-joong.

Lee Si-woo thought that the two of them owe them a debt.

“Ah, what do you mean… It is more that I received help from Director Kang.”

“I also had various experiences at Myeongsan, and I was able to learn a lot from Director Jin.”

“I’m really sorry. Do you have any plans to stay in Mt.

“There is not. I will forget what Director Jin just said.”

It’s just cut-and-dried.

Jinyoung took a deep breath.

“… sorry. I didn’t even know I was talking in vain.”

“it’s okay.”

The reason Kang Pil-joong was dispatched to Myeongsan Steel was because of Lee Si-woo.

To equip him with the ability to help him.

Therefore, Kang Pil-joong did his best to absorb Jin Jun-sik’s business method.

Now it was time to show Siwoo Lee what he had learned here.

‘Because of me, I bowed my head in front of the staff. When I go back, I want to be a person I can be proud of to Siwoo.’

What did you learn at Myeongsan Steel, and whether it was worth coming to Myeongsan Iron and Steel even while bending Lee Si-woo’s pride?

I had to prove him.

“If nothing goes wrong today, I will stay in the yard, Director Jin.”

“all right.”

If an existing customer contacted me, I had to bring it, but there was no need to spend time doing business.

Even if you bring scrap metal, you can’t deliver it to the steel mill.

‘I do not need to touch Myungsan’s business partners. You have to drill a new way.’

When the wall construction is finished, the business restrictions will be lifted.

In line with the schedule, Si-woo Lee instructed Kang Pil-joong to prepare for business.

At the same time as interest in scrap metal is declining, it was also said that the number of customers should be increased as much as possible.

In a way, it could have been a gamble.

However, Kang Pil-joong had no intention of going against Lee Si-woo’s will.

‘As Siwoo thinks, if you pass this time well, you will definitely have a chance to go upstairs.’

* * *

A company came in and started building the fence.

All the pipes needed to build the wall were prepared anyway.

The clips connecting the pipes were also collected at the junkyard.

Because the clips can be passed on to the hypothetical system at a high price.

The scraps were not sent to the steelworks blindly.

Because there were a lot of scrap metal that could be recycled and used again.

Demolishing the old wall and starting to build it again.

I was only planning to receive guests who came today.

As long as one side is gone, the appearance of the junk shop will be clearly revealed to the outside.

Moon Kwang-woon, who came to work for the first time, bowed his head.

“Chief, I’m off to work.”

“Are you here early?”

“yes? I was just on time for work, but… Oh, and I hope you feel comfortable using words. I am just an employee.”

Moon Kwang-woon arrived an hour earlier than the start time.

This is because Myeongsancheolje’s work time was 8 o’clock.

“Hey, Manager Kang… … ?”

The only person who knows the face.

At the words of Kwang-Woon Moon who was looking for Pil-Joong Kang, Si-Woo Lee checked the time.

“It’s still before work. Nuri’s check-in time is 9 o’clock, and his departure time is 6 o’clock. Sometimes I get off work at 5 o’clock. And in the case of Saturday, I go to work at 9 and finish at 4, so I know.”

“Ah yes.”

“Today is the first day, so just watch how the yard goes. And never leave early for work.”

“Is that really okay? I know the junk dealer usually goes to work at 7 o’clock… … .”

The reason why Myeongsan goes to work at 8 am is because there was a strong argument from the problem god.

Because they said they had to work efficiently, they delayed the start time of the employees by an hour.

There was some friction with the director Jean over this.

However, Moon Kwang-woon gave a worried expression when he said that he had to go to work at 9 o’clock later than that.

“There is such a thing as efficiency in work. Just because you go to work early doesn’t mean you can do that much work.”

Siwoo Lee said the same reason as Jaeshin Moon.

Moon Kwang-woon was simply amazed that he could think like that at such a young age.

“okay.”

“When CEO Moon retires, you too will inherit the famed mountain. I will teach you one thing slowly, so learn properly as long as you are here. Do you understand, Kwangwoon?”

“Yes, sir!”

“Just call me boss. And after work, I call him hyung. I’m happy to work with you. I wish you all the best in the future.”

Moon Kwang-woon politely grabbed his hand at Si-woo Lee’s gesture of reaching out his hand.

Yesterday, Moon Jae-shin called Moon Kwang-woon and asked for a new God.

― The moment you work at Nuri, you are no longer an employee of Myungsan, but your employee. Never tell anyone about Nuri’s situation. Even if it’s me or Jean. Don’t be a nuisance to this representative.

Rather than not exposing information about famous mountains as much as possible, saying that Nuri’s internal situation should not be disclosed to others.

Moon Kwang-Woon could see that Moon Jae-Shin had a special regard for Nuri recycling, no, Lee Si-Woo.

“I wish you well.”

“Do you have work clothes?”

“Yes, I brought it.”

“Take it easy. This isn’t the military, is it? There is no need to answer with Tanaka. Take your work clothes back home.”

Siwoo Lee wanted to instill in his employees a sense of belonging.

He thought it was his father’s influence that he thought this way.

Coveralls with the name Nuri Recycling on it.

I took out the work clothes, which consisted of a top and bottom, from the office.

On the right chest was written Moon Kwang-woon.

Siwoo Lee prepared a total of four work clothes in advance.

Due to the nature of the work, clothes became dirty when worn for a day, and work clothes were prepared in abundance so that they could be washed.

“This is Nouri’s work clothes. There are four suits, so if you wear them for a day, you can wash them and change into new ones. And if your work clothes are worn out or torn, just tell me. I’ll pay you a new one. And these are safety boots.”

“You are delicate, sir.”

“Um, is that so? You can’t take care of everything one by one, but it’s not always enough to take care of safety-related things, right? When working, never wear sneakers and wear safety shoes. Do you know why?”

“Yes. I know.”

“Then go and change your clothes.”

Lee Si-woo, who tapped Moon Kwang-woon’s shoulder with a soft hand, revealed a faint smile.

When he went out after changing his work clothes, Si-woo Lee was having a conversation while dropping the customer’s belongings with his hands.

“Chief Kang, is there a lot of scrap metal coming out these days?”

“What about architecture, isn’t that what we can bring? The same goes for the factory… However, if you look around, there are many places with scrap metal.”

“okay? Maybe a nearby junk shop can lower the unit price even more.”

“why? What’s going on?”

“I think the steel mill will be shut down. Wearing restrictions went in.”

“Hmm, is this boss going to drop the price of scrap metal too?”

“Ah, I have no intention of doing that. If the steel mill changes the unit price, it will drop from then on. By the way, do you have a lot of things piled up in the yard?”

“no. Almost none. Most of them brought Ugh!”

Kang Seok-hyeon and Lee Si-woo, who climbed into the loading box and threw small pieces of scrap metal, were talking about the current situation of Dorando.

“That’s nice. Don’t leave it in the yard for a while and bring it right away.”

“Okay. You have to do what the boss says.”

As the work was almost finished, Moon Kwang-woon approached us in a car.

“Five? Are you young?”

“yes. I’m Moon Kwang-woon, an employee I will work with in the future, boss.”

“Is it because the president is young? Working people are getting younger. It’s a good thing.”

“Haha, is that so?”

“A young man is interested in this… Because it’s hard, dirty, and shameful. Anyway, I wish you all the best in the future. This is Seok-Hyun Kang.”

“My name is Kwangwoon Moon.”

“You can just call me President Kang.”

He said a brief goodbye and put the car on the weighbridge.

Si-woo Lee, who went into the office, weighed and transferred money, made Kang Seok-hyun a cup of coffee.

“I feel empty because I have removed all the scrap metal.”

“Now we have to build it again.”

“Why are you building a wall?”

“The complaints keep coming in. I saw scrap metal through the wall, so I’m going to start building it again after removing all the scrap metal. We will replace it with a soundproof wall, so we won’t have to worry about other complaints.”

Kang Seok-hyeon clicked his tongue at Lee Si-woo’s words.

The place where Nuri Recycling was located was not in the city center.

Quite far from the residential areas where people live.

There was no reason for the general public to complain.

“Anyway, it’s because they’re humans who can’t see how things are going well. Did you file a complaint at a nearby junk shop?”

“I don’t know.”

Ishiu shrugged his shoulders.

I didn’t want to mention another junk dealer just because I had a heart attack.

“Anyway, I’m anxious because I can’t eat the things that are getting old. tt.”

Kang Seok-hyeon, who watched the wall being demolished, drank all of his coffee and threw the paper cup into the trash can.

“Go in.”

“Draw it. If there is scrap metal, I’ll bring it right away. See you next time.”

After Kang Seok-hyun left, Moon Kwang-woon, who was wandering around the scrapyard, bowed his head.

Siwoo Lee approached him and smiled.

“There is very little non-ferrous metal in the scrap that the boss brings. Because he works in the yard.”

“ah… … .”

“He is a very thrifty man. You’re a VIP customer at our junk store, so remember your face.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Do you know how to drive a fork crane?”

“I can do it, but I don’t have a license.”

“okay? Then I’ll have to get a license first.”
