The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 53] The junk dealer makes good money

Siwoo Lee, CEO of Nuri Recycling.

Jae-Shin Moon, the representative of Myeongsan Steel.

The S CEO, Kim In-sik.

Representatives of each company gathered in a restaurant with quiet music playing.

“I heard that you have been busy all this time. The waste business has been a way for Nuri, CEO Lee.”

“I learned from this opportunity that I don’t have to stick with scrap metal. I thought my job was to do with scrap metal, but it wasn’t.”

Siwoo Lee had a leisurely conversation with the two representatives who are his father.

It has been a long time since Moon Jae-Shin took the lead.

The reason we all came together was to establish a proper collaboration with the two companies as Nuri’s waste business gradually grew.

“It was the moment I was worried about the rumor that Wonkwang would raise the price of waste. We are in a position to buy aluminum at a high price and pay money to dispose of the waste.”

“We still have a long way to go to catch up with Wonkwang. We need capital to install a shredder.”

Myeongsan and The S were driving all waste-related parts to Nuri.

However, they are only working quietly because the funds to establish a shredding plant have not yet been raised.

“The business is growing. Wouldn’t it be possible to have a shredder facility in the next year?”

“I can’t be sure, but maybe another year?”

In any case, investment of funds was a necessary law.

In order to purchase the land and proceed to the shredding facility, it was necessary to move at least 2 billion in hand.

“When Nuri grows bigger, Myeongsan or The Esdo will be able to move more actively than before.”

Moon Jae-shin tasted the potential of waste.

In the past month since Nuri started the waste business, Myungsan’s customers have grown rapidly.

I also knew that all this was possible with the full support of Nuri.

And it was the same with Kim In-sik.

While operating scrap metal and waste together, it has naturally become a market that comes with non-ferrous metals as well.

“If CEO Lee makes a request, The S is ready to invest in Nuri at any time. And isn’t that the same with Myeongsan, hyung?”

Leaning on waste from ore was something that Moon Jae-shin had to be vigilant about as much as possible.

It was not because Siwoo Lee focused on waste and neglected the operation of scrap metal.

While the waste business was in progress, the trading volume of scrap metal was also rapidly jumping.

“If CEO Lee wants to, he is thinking of investing Myeongsan-do funds in establishing a shredding plant. It is up to the CEO to make the decision, but… … .”

“I want to climb on my own.”

No matter how much trust they had with each other, they had to make a prudent decision on whether to receive funds.

Their relationship will not be broken now, but no one knows the future.

At Lee Si-woo’s resolute words, Kim In-sik and Moon Jae-shin looked at each other for a moment.

The reason Moon Jae-shin created this place was to help Nuri climb up to the shredding plant faster.

“Can’t you just think of it as a prepayment? Oh, of course, I am not saying that you will receive the money you invested in scrap metal or other things.”

“CEO Moon… … .”

“Now that Wonkwang has confirmed its facility investment, the price of waste is showing signs of rising. If the price of waste from ore goes up, the cost of waste in this area will be higher.”

“you’re right. Now that Wonkwang has decided to invest in the facility, this may be an opportunity, Mr. Lee.”

Now, Kim In-sik and Moon Jae-shin were in a situation where the lights were on in their feet.

Because ore has notified that the unit price of waste will be raised to 200 won.

In the vicinity now, the crushing plant was one ore.

From the moment Won Kwang monopolized waste, Myeongsan and The S had no choice but to accept their opinion by crying and eating mustard.

‘but… Raising shredder waste up to 200 won is a thief.’

However, the problem was that it had only been a month since I started the waste business I am enjoying now.

There was a need to gain more experience than to enjoy, and to build a solid support base.

“Even if a shredding plant is established, it will not be able to operate properly with Nuri’s current experience. If the two companies make an investment, there should be a decent amount of return, but I’m not sure if I will do well.”

“It is a matter that needs to be decided carefully, as President Lee said. I will not make any further offers.”

Moon Jae-shin felt sorry for Lee Si-woo’s lack of confidence.

He was judging that Siwoo Lee had the ability to operate a shredding plant.

“One year, within that time, we will turn the situation around. That time will give you enough experience. So I would like the two representatives to wait slowly. Even if ore immediately raises the price of waste, it will not demand a higher unit price than it is now.”

We have been conducting business for a month by transporting and collecting waste.

As a result, if you receive 2.5 million won per car, the profit is at least 1 million won or more.

‘And you can see that the companies that deal with waste have been slamming them a lot.’

Anyway, in the case of Myeongsan, it was not a structure where waste could come out.

At the moment of printing with guillotine, the garbage attached to the scrap metal had no choice but to come with it.

He knew that even a steel mill could not receive clean scrap, so it was a matter of closing his eyes to some extent.

But the problem was The S.

There was no way to dispose of waste from the position of having to send non-ferrous materials as cleanly as possible.

“If you just give Nuri time, I will show you how to grow. If CEO Kim just endures for a year… … .”

“We are not a company without the foundation of SGA to the extent that we cannot stand that time. The president’s statement is also correct. If you grow your business in a yard that doesn’t have infrastructure right away, problems may arise.”

* * *

In the past month, the part where Nuri has been investing the most money was the trash can.

If you fit each new barrel, you have to invest a huge amount of 5 million won.

Kang Pil-joong and Lee Seok-joon were mobilizing all the people they knew to buy a TV channel cheaply.

Bangtong, which started with two, grew at such a busy pace that it became ten within a month.

‘Because I spent about 30 million won on the purchase of a bang-tong in a month.’

But that was enough to fill with the amount of waste coming in now.

The number of customers was increasing, and now it was heard that they were sweeping away the waste in the vicinity.

Forming friendly relationships with field people while doing scrap metal also played a major role.

“Director Kang, I have an appointment with my college classmates today. Guess I’ll have to leave work early… … .”

It was Siwoo Lee who, if possible, got to work earlier than the staff and stayed in the yard until late.

However, sometimes on the day of an appointment, I would leave the yard first.

“Today, I will finish the yard and enter.”

* * *

Siwoo Lee, dressed as neatly as possible, trudged out of the yard.

When I arrived at a pub near the university with my car, I saw a friend waiting for a call.

“Jun-ah.”

“Oh, are you here? No matter how busy I am, I haven’t been to college for eight months.”

“I was restless. Sorry.”

“However, thank you for coming today. But Joong-hwan-senpai was in the seat, would you be okay?”

“… are you okay. After all, there will be no more blushing with Joong-hwan-senpai.”

“Haha, even though he refused, he persisted. That man is still there.”

“Don’t say that. Still, we are seniors… … .”

“It’s a fossil that hasn’t graduated yet because of playing and eating, what kind of senior is that? It’s not like you’re a senior to flirt with women.”

“Jun-ah, I haven’t seen you in a long time, but I don’t want to hear that. Let’s go in.”

As I entered the pub, I saw about ten familiar faces.

And the young man in the front, Choi Joong-hwan, who was decorated with luxury goods, turned his head.

“Oh, who is this? Do you know our handsome junior Lee Si-woo? Ahh… Are you no longer a junior?”

“It’s been a while, senior.”

“I’m not even a junior at the same school anymore, can I call myself a senior?”

Even though he did not graduate and dropped out, his records of attending this university did not disappear.

“Sioux, long time no see? Sit down!”

The comrades who had chewed shit on their faces opened their eyes and welcomed Siwoo Lee.

And Yeon-a Lee, who was sitting at the very end, smiled pleasantly.

“It’s Yuna.”

“It’s been a while, brother.”

“I know. I didn’t know you would be here either. How have you been?”

“yes. what is that… … .”

Upon hearing the news that Si-woo Lee was coming, Yeon-ah Lee accepted Kang-jun-yi’s offer to have a drink together.

She didn’t like to drink, and she didn’t like drinking with people.

‘But it’s a place where I can see Siwoo oppa’s face after a long time… ‘

The last time she saw Si-Woo Lee was when he came to hand out his resignation letter.

I haven’t even seen her face since then.

All I did was listen to Shin Su-ryun for a while.

“Is Su-liyeon talking about you?”

“yes. Because it’s my high school junior. I didn’t even know how I was going to connect with you.”

“Sometimes, come to the junkyard with Su-li. I’ll buy you some rice.”

“Yes I will.”

Choi Joong-hwan, who was listening to Lee Si-woo and Lee Yeon-ah’s conversation, laughed.

“Hey, it was no big deal to you, who was loved by the professors like that. Everyone was so fussed that a very talented actor was delivered.”

“Senior, aren’t you talking too harshly?”

Lee Joon protested against Choi Joong-hwan’s words.

Although Choi Joong-hwan was a senior, there was not a single junior who liked him.

It was only because of his family’s halo that he had no choice but to treat him like a senior.

“Jun, have you grown up? I even tell my seniors that I am now going to the 4th grade.”

“… … .”

I wanted to refute it, but Lee Joon bit his lip.

Then he recalled his freshman year before enlisting in the military.

Choi Joong-hwan, a senior with a second grade higher than Si-woo Lee.

He was authoritative and was one of those seniors who were full of bluffs.

The seniors who tormented Lee Si-woo out of jealousy had already graduated from college and left, but only Choi Joong-hwan remained.

“It’s harsh, you bastard. Is it true that he eventually resigned and left? That’s a loser, isn’t it?”

Lee Si-woo stopped Lee Jun from crying at the words and trying to run.

Then he looked at Choi Joong-hwan with cold eyes.

“For a cub to peek… Do you still live on your flair? People who make money by digging through garbage are the worst.”

“Then why are you staying here without graduating? Ah, if I drop out and leave, I’m a loser, so are you trying to hold on somehow?”

“Hey, this kid… Hey, Siwoo.”

“Ah, I don’t go to school anymore, so you said you’re not a senior? That means you don’t have to be respectful like you used to.”

“What? I must have beaten the school too, this is the end of the day, isn’t it? After dropping out and working in a trash can, my personality exploded. Can’t you see that I can’t do my job right? I’ll do it better than you, bastard.”

It was something I could say because I was a person who did not know what Siwoo Lee had accomplished.

“Hmm, are you? I don’t know with what confidence you say that.”

“Anyway, they don’t know… Don’t you know what kind of family our family is? It’s different from your rat-tailed trash can.”

sting-

Even if I put up with everything else, I can’t stand being insulting about Nuri.

“Kuk. Hey, look at this bastard? What would you do if you were so skinny? yes?”

“… … .”

Drooling-

As Si-woo Lee stared at him silently, Joong-hwan Choi stood up.

Then he grunted and approached Siwoo Lee.

Then he poked in his face as if to hit one of them.

“Are you going to hit me like this?”

Choi Joong-hwan came here for one purpose, but he wanted to fuck Lee Si-woo.

I wanted to ruin a place I hadn’t had in a long time.

“Stop it, sir.”

“I’m no longer your senior, bastard!”

Choi Joong-hwan slowly became frustrated.

I wish Siwoo Lee would argue first, but he didn’t seem to want to.

Choi Joong-hwan, who became impatient at the name of his senior, finally got impatient and stretched out his arms.

“You cheeky bastard. Today I will properly educate you.”

whistle-

Choi Joong-hwan’s fork flew past Lee Si-woo’s ball.

Lulu-

The sharp fork cut his cheek, and blood dripped down his cheek.

Still, there was no change in Si-Woo’s expression.

“It was the senior who used the weapon first.”

“So what? What are you going to do? You want to hit me?”

“There is nothing that cannot be done. I am no longer your junior.”

If Choi Joong-hwan was a person related to a customer, he would have put up with this.

However, he was a person who had nothing to do with Siwoo Lee’s business.

Whoops!

Lee Si-woo blew up Choi Joong-hwan, who was laughing at him with a ‘I’ll hit you’ expression, with his fists as hard as he could.

“Ok!”

Woodang Tangtang.

Choi Joong-hwan, who was hit by a fist, fell backwards and hurriedly grabbed the chair.

His comrades’ eyes widened at the sight of him falling unsightly.

But no one tried to support him.

After all, he was in such a position within the department that he had endured for a long time.

“you… what is this… … !”

Choi Joong-hwan was embarrassed and couldn’t speak properly, so Si-woo Lee shook his hand and looked down at him.

That was then.

Lulu-

Two streams of blood flowing from his nose.

Siu Lee pointed to that figure and said coldly.

“I have a nosebleed.”
