The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 75] Used Materials Business

After hearing all the recordings, Park Soo-beom’s expression was distorted like a piece of paper.

I knew that Woo Il-do had touched Si-woo Lee’s heart, but I didn’t know that he would threaten him so openly.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

Yesterday, Siwoo Lee delivered rebar to Boseong Construction from early in the morning as promised with Park Soo-beom.

20 tons of previously made rebars were pushed into Boseong at once.

I asked Jihoon Choi to discuss bringing used materials, but he did not.

I just called Park Soo-beom early in the morning and asked where I could send the rebar.

“Representative Woo.”

“Yes, Chairman… … .”

“Is it worth living? It can be listed on the stock market, and only good things happen. So did you overestimate yourself?”

“If you give me one more chance, I will work for you, even if it breaks my bones!”

At first, Park Soo-beom had no intention of using him seriously.

“I don’t think so. Come to think of it, was it Seshin Construction that CEO Woo was lining up for?”

“Chairman, if you tell me to sever the relationship with Seshin Construction, I will cut it right away. Think carefully. Daesan will help Boseong rather than Nuuri, who can’t help anything in construction!”

Will Daesan be more helpful than Nuri?

I thought it wasn’t Park Soo-bum.

In terms of the speed and determination to fulfill the promise, Siwoo Lee was better than Ildo Woo, who had no ability.

“From now on, all ties between Boseong and Daesan will be cut off.”

“President!”

“Maybe something will happen that requires me to get down on my knees and pray to the CEO of Seshin Construction. Secretary Kang, have you finished recording?”

Kang Yi-seo, who was always by his side in charge of Park Soo-beom’s schedule, picked up a ballpoint pen in his hand.

“All done.”

“Deliver it to the representative of Seshin Construction.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

He had no intention of embracing Uildo in the first place.

When he brought up the words of Seshin Construction, he was induced to show his weakness.

Woo Il-do, whose relationship with Seshin Construction was in jeopardy due to the lack of Boseong Construction, fell to his knees with a popping sound.

“Save me, President!”

“If it was to save CEO Woo, I wouldn’t have called him here in the first place. President, are you satisfied?”

He nodded at the words of Park Soo-beom, a middle-aged man with a gentle smile while looking at Si-woo Lee.

“This is not enough for the castle. I cannot see Daesan affecting Nuri.”

“If CEO Lee wants, he can make Daesan impossible to revive.”

“How far can you go?”

Siwoo Lee had no intention of being satisfied here.

If we forgave those who treated Nuri’s staff as it is, this could happen again in the future.

“Secretary Kang, how many notes were put into Daesan Construction?”

“About 3 billion.”

“It’s a fucking company anyway, so take them all back.”

“I will take action, Chairman.”

Park Soo-bum had a cold personality.

There was only one thing, only that he could not take decisive action only on Kang Eung-ryong.

Kang Yi-seo bowed her head and called somewhere.

Seeing that, Woo Il-do crawled on the floor and grabbed her leg and begged.

“As much as a note, please… … .”

“So you should have behaved well, CEO Woo.”

Kang Yi-seo, who shook off his hand, followed Park Soo-beom with a proud expression.

Siwoo Lee didn’t look pitiful to him.

‘Because it must be the wealth obtained by squeezing tears of blood from other people’s eyes.’

It wasn’t just Kang Pil-joong who looked into Daesan Construction.

Apart from his connection with Park Soo-beom through Choi Ji-hoon, Lee Si-woo himself learned about Daesan himself.

As Jihoon Choi said, Daesan was associated with a gang.

He was the one who squeezed the blood of the common people by collaborating with the poorest moneylenders.

Even if Woo Il-do looks pitiful now, more people could suffer if he left it like this.

They used the method of taking the land in the form of accessing and lending money to the owners of the land needed for construction.

Due to the recent development of information, it seems that few people are being victimized by cadavers, but the number of victims has steadily increased.

In some cases, elderly people who do not have access to the Internet borrow money because they need money recklessly.

‘Even in a world where knowledge is shared, the tricks of scammers are also developed to that extent.’

Woo Il-do, who knelt down and bowed his head, left the scene with Park Soo-beom.

“Chairman Lee, can I ask you a favor?”

“yes. Tell me, Chairman.”

“I would like to visit Nuri once and see if it is possible… … .”

“Anytime is possible. Would you like to move now?”

“That’s right. I will go to Director Choi’s car.”

I wanted to go to Nuri at least once and check how big it is.

As Park Soo-beom got into Choi Ji-hoon’s car, he took the steering wheel with a nervous expression.

“Chief Choi, have you ever visited Nuri other than today?”

“I’ve been to the headquarters before, but I’ve been to the shredder for the first time today, Chairman.”

“What’s the mood?”

“It’s the first karma I’ve ever seen today… It’s hard to say, but from the outside it looked really neat. It was not like a place that handles garbage.”

“It would also be biased. The business that disposes of waste should be cleaner than the rest.”

As Park Soo-beom turned his gaze to the window, Kang Yi-seo, who sat next to Choi Ji-hoon, said:

“Chairman, CEO Han Shin-woo of Seshin Construction has sent you an answer.”

“What did you say?”

“We are severing our relationship with Daesan E&C. Since the recording file was sent as it is, CEO Han Shin-woo will not cover Woo Il-do.”

“If you don’t know, please understand the movement of Seshin Construction.”

“Chairman, may I ask why you are on the side of CEO Lee Si-woo?”

Kang Yi-seo knew Park Soo-bum’s personality better than anyone.

A person who never takes sides with one side, such a person promised full support to Siwoo Lee.

Of course, it was true that this project was an important one, but the loss of Woo Il-do seemed too far-fetched.

It was not that Woo Il-do did any direct damage to Boseong.

“Why?”

“I carefully speculate that it may be because of the relationship between Governor Kang Eung-ryong.”

“It’s not because of my brother. Of course, it can’t be without its impact, but should I just say I was curious?”

“Have you seen the potential of CEO Lee Si-woo?”

“It’s not potential. Because CEO Lee Si-woo’s business ability is already being expressed. Well, if you visit Nuri in person, you will know if my feelings are right or wrong.”

Park Soo-beom said that and closed his eyes.

Eventually, when Choi Ji-hoon’s car entered Nuri’s parking lot, Si-woo Lee, who had already arrived and was waiting, approached him.

“I introduce Nuri to the president. Director Kang, look at something else.”

“Okay, sir.”

When Park Soo-beom got out of the car, Lee Si-woo sent Kang Pil-joong to the office.

Park Soo-beom, Choi Ji-hoon, and Kang Yi-seo followed the guide and looked around Nuri.

The shop is much cleaner than I thought.

The waste to be shredded was placed in huge scrap metal bins.

There was a lid on the neatly made canister, just in case there was an odor.

“CEO, is this place only for waste?”

“It is a place where waste and scrap metal are loaded together. Of course, the main business is waste, but there is quite a bit of scrap on one side.”

“I want to try looking at scrap metal, is it possible?”

The main purpose of Park Soo-beom’s coming here.

It was because he wanted to check the scrap metal that Nuri had.

I needed to see with my own two eyes how big it really was.

At Park Soo-beom’s request, Si-woo Lee drove to a place where scrap metal was piled up.

A place that strictly controls the access of employees.

Unless it was time for work, Siwoo Lee was the only one who could freely move in and out of this place.

He opened the huge door that was firmly closed and led Park Soo-beom inside.

Rebar and pipe types, and various scrap metals were classified by type.

‘It’s a fair amount. How many rebars would it be?’

Park Soo-beom made a surprised expression at the size of about 2,000 pyeong and packed with scrap metal.

And Choi Ji-hoon and Kang Yi-seo also looked around the scrapyard with curious eyes.

“I think the rebars here come to us, and now it’s real.”

“This is a space that I prepared and created for several months. All the high-quality scrap metal is coming in here.”

“I can understand why the CEO just sent 20 tons of rebar today.”

With scrap metal piled up on this scale, I could understand Siwoo Lee’s confidence.

“Are you satisfied, Chairman?”

Some of the scrap metal that came in here in the first place was piled up to be used as second-hand materials.

In particular, the scrap metal produced by Si-Woo Lee was tied up one by one by two tons.

“Who would not be satisfied with this degree? Director Choi, how are you?”

“I didn’t know there was such a place in Nuri. It’s like a new world, Chairman.”

Seriously, Jihoon Choi couldn’t help but be surprised.

I have never experienced a scrap yard of this size.

He had visited a place called Daesang, but it was not as tidy as this.

‘There are a lot of scrap metal that can be recycled. There is very little scrap metal to throw away.’

From short H-beams to long H-beams, all were classified by type.

Lee Jun, who has a meticulous personality, completely sorted the scrap from the moment he got off and got off here.

“A bundle of rebar would weigh about two tons. Of course, you will see a difference in weight.”

“It’s a natural thing because people have to build it up one by one and tie it together.”

“The total weight of rebar is about 1,000 tons. And in the case of a pipe, you can think of it as about 500 tons.”

Park Soo-beom wanted to bring the used materials piled up here right now.

Due to the size of the scrapyard, there was no roof.

It was a perfect fit for rain.

“Secretary Kang, don’t you think it would be difficult to have this amount of material in the warehouse right now?”

“To accommodate this amount of material, we need to find a new warehouse.”

“Arrange the warehouse. CEO Lee, I would like to purchase all of these materials.”

If about 1,500 tons of used materials were to be lost at once, Kang Pil-jung could have expressed concern.

Currently, the contract with Gangdong is 3,000 tons.

When half of the scrap metal was sold as used materials, it could be difficult to send the promised quantity to Kang Dong.

‘But if you didn’t expect it to this extent, you wouldn’t even have brought Chairman Park Soo-beom here in the first place.’

In fact, the 3,000 tons of scrap metal I showed Won Jae-jun were piled up elsewhere.

There was a separate space for small scrap metal and scrap metal that had no commercial value.

Of the 15,000 pyeong area, 3,000 pyeong for waste and 2,000 pyeong for scrap metal are being used.

And the size of this place was 2,000 sq.

A total of 7,000 pyeong of space is being used.

It was only one-half, no, it was less than four-quarters the size if the mountain was cut into layers.

‘Unlike the first scrapyard, this place is not open to directors.’

It was quite a distance from the office, on the other side of the shredder.

Siwoo Lee has thoroughly prepared to grow his business.

The purpose of purchasing this land in the first place was not just for the crushing plant.

“We will send the used materials to the place you want.”

“Secretary Kang, check out the warehouse today and sign a contract right away. Mr. Lee, I will send you the location tomorrow. And Boseong will pay all the funds for transporting these materials.”

“All right. Then, go back to the office.”

As Si-woo Lee left the scrapyard where materials were piled up, Park Soo-beom glanced at the scrapyard with regretful eyes until the end.

Even with this size of used materials, the amount of purchasing materials could be significantly reduced.

‘This might be an opportunity. Opportunities to cover waste disposal costs.’

In order to purchase 1,000 tons of rebar for a new one, we had to spend 1 billion won.

But if you bring the used materials here, it will cost you 500 million won.

Even if transportation costs and warehouse purchase costs were excluded, Boseong was able to enjoy the same amount of profit.

“Since they are grouped by size, there will be no inconvenience in using them.”

Si-woo Lee took Park Soo-beom straight to the office.

It was so far from the office that it was a 15-minute drive away.

It was on the other side of where the office was located.

After walking far away from the mountain, Siwoo Lee arrived at the office and served coffee to the three of them.

“The only drink to drink is coffee. I’m sorry, Chairman.”

“One coffee is enough.”

Park Soo-beom looked at the office while drinking the mixed coffee that Si-woo Lee gave him.

“The office is very modest for its size.”

“We are building offices elsewhere. It’s a place that hasn’t been set up in a while.”

“okay. It looks like it will be fun to make.”

“It has to be funded that much, so it’s not so much fun.”

Siwoo Lee made his eyes half-moon-shaped and smiled.

As the area was large, enough funds had to be provided for civil works and other preparations.

Although the funds were being met by becoming the target of the Gangdong Works and building a shredding plant, there were still many shortcomings.

“It feels great to be able to grow up to this level in a space of less than 1,000 pyeong, CEO Lee.”

Park Soo-beom had never been to a place called Nuri’s headquarters.

However, Choi Ji-hoon had personally visited the headquarters.

It was much larger than the place called the headquarters.

How many people can grow to this level in one year?

Seeing that people try to diversify in industries that they are not interested in, I had to feel great.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“I heard that a project to clean up the families of unrelated people is in progress. I couldn’t understand why they designated it as a business to lose money.”

“As Director Choi said, from a close look, the business of organizing the belongings may seem like a loss to the company, but from a distance, it is not. Once you have the system and infrastructure in place, you can scale it up.”
