The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 81] Unbelievable speed

The land where the grand plan of Boseong Construction is being implemented.

Park Soo-beom’s dream was to build and maintain a country house complex.

And in order to realize that dream, he spent his whole life nurturing Bosung Construction.

But before things could go on, they encountered a reef.

“Chairman, I have received a call from the police. The news is that we have found the whereabouts of those who dumped their waste on the ground.”

Park Soo-beom’s secretary, Kang Yi-seo, ran to tell him the good news.

But he only had an expression of no emotion.

“Hey, even if they catch them, they wouldn’t even be able to pay compensation for the damage, would they?”

“It is, but… Can you still punish me?”

“It is not. There is never any agreement. If caught, you will be sentenced to imprisonment. And did you catch the real estate agent who introduced us to the land?”

“yes. They said they were caught two days ago.”

“Is it right to work with the waste collectors?”

“yes. It is said that he confessed to which company threw away the waste.”

This was a big mistake by Boseong Construction.

I had to carefully research and select the land, but I lacked prudence.

“Everyone involved in this case will have to be searched out.”

“yes. The audit is being done now, and results will be forthcoming soon.”

“Hong, more than that, I heard that Nuri is disposing of waste at a tremendous rate, right?”

“In less than a month, we have already processed over 1,000 tons of waste.”

The cumulative tonnage of treated waste exceeded 1,000 tons.

In the original case, even if it was processed within six months, it was considered that it was processed quickly.

But you’ve done the impossible.

“Really great.”

“I think so too. I think it was the best move to abandon Woo Il-do and choose CEO Lee Si-woo.”

Park Soo-beom made a strong impression on her words.

Kang Yi-seo was a secretary.

Of course, Park Soo-beom used to respect and consider her, but her words just crossed the line.

“Is CEO Lee Si-woo a friend of Secretary Kang? And I guess that means there are questions about my choices.”

Even Park Soo-beom did not look down on Lee Si-woo.

He didn’t like how one secretary called him easily.

“… sorry.”

Kang Yi-seo quickly bowed her head and apologized.

“Even if Nuri is an unknown company now, its value will change later.”

While conducting various businesses, he made sure that no words came out of the company that gave him the absolute work he enjoyed.

I’m grateful for just doing the work quickly, but until it prevents damage from accumulating.

Boseong thanked Nuri from number one to ten.

Others currently take at least six months or more to process this size of waste.

Usually, when the scale grows, it was basic to support labor and transportation costs.

However, the unit price of waste has been raised, excluding support for labor and transportation costs.

‘It’s good from my point of view, but from Nuri’s point of view, I thought it was an imprudent proposal.’

So, when Si-woo Lee suggested raising the unit price of waste, Park Soo-beom had to question it.

Rather, manpower or transportation cost support is more beneficial to Nuri, so why did they make such a decision?

However, at this rate, it was clear that raising the unit price would be a big surplus for Nuri.

It was advantageous for long-term warfare to be funded, and for short-term warfare to have a higher unit price.

“And one more thing, Nuri carried out the work only with its own personnel. At this speed without any outside help… … .”

“The river secretary.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“If something comes, something must go. Isn’t that right?”

“How can we do it?”

“Raise the unit price of used materials we buy from Nuri. Was the current unit price 500 won per kg?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Up to 700 won per kg.”

“You mean 200 won?”

There was absolutely no damage.

The quality of the used materials received from Nuri was quite good.

Just because scrap metal gets old doesn’t mean its strength decreases.

“In order to receive a steady supply of good products, price adjustments must be made. What if other competing construction companies covet Nuri’s goods?”

“that… … .”

“Even if CEO Lee Si-woo is evaluated for his strong loyalty, if we make it sad, the relationship will not last long.”

There is something that should not be mistaken.

No matter how much Boseong was bigger than Nuri, Gap was not Boseong.

It was a pity that it was Boseong.

“CEO Siwoo Lee, will he change his mind? Boseong is a much bigger company than Nuri… … .”

“No one can be sure of that. You have to keep in mind that Gap is Nouri, not Boseong.”

“… May I ask why?”

Proven to enjoy.

Even if it was not Boseong, it was at a level that other construction companies could pay attention to.

Park Soo-beom laughed at Kang Yi-seo’s question.

“The thing that construction companies struggle with the most is waste. How many waste companies do you think have the ability of Nuri?”

“maybe… There will be very few.”

“Now and in the future, we will definitely need Nuri’s help. Especially if it’s a company whose main business is architecture.”

It possesses a tremendous weapon of not only waste, but also used materials to enjoy.

The used materials I bought last time were large enough to be used for at least six months.

When building material prices are rising, stockpiling used materials in large quantities will give you a surplus.

“Honestly, were there any dealers who were handling more than 1,500 tonnes of used materials? I think I’m seeing it for the first time.”

“I see it for the first time.”

“Then you have to catch it. Never be rude to CEO Lee Si-woo. This is a message to all employees in Boseong, including Secretary Kang.”

Kang Yi-seo’s eyes twinkled at Park Soo-beom’s serious voice.

He had only ever praised or lifted someone up like this.

He always said this.

There is only one person whom he respects the most.

And no one didn’t know that it was Governor Kang Eung-ryong.

* * *

It has been three weeks since the waste disposal of Boseong began.

Every day is the same day.

However, as time passed, the movement of the employees did not slow down.

Every day, after work, Nuri’s seniors gathered in one place and put their heads together.

I was worried about how to make the work easier for the employees and how to increase the efficiency of their work.

After finishing the day, Kim Jung-nan went back to the office without washing.

A meeting was already in full swing in the office.

“Now the employees are starting to get used to the work to some extent. The interns are also quicker.”

The more experiences you accumulate, the less you worry.

The reason the speed is slow at first is because you worry as much as you don’t know.

Because of this, I had to ask each one of them whether they were crushed or incinerated.

However, despite their questions, the staff did not bother to answer them.

As experience and knowledge were accumulating one by one, interns were now able to classify without asking questions.

“That’s nice. I went to the site today, and there is a high probability that it will be much larger than 2,000 tons.”

“okay.”

“At least 3,000 tons. We decided that the scale might be up to 4,000 tons.”

It was a task that had no variables in the first place.

Considering the waste buried down to the ground, the scale was absolutely unpredictable.

The directors bit their lips slightly at the double size.

“It must be difficult. Not just the people here, but all the people who are doing this now.”

“CEO… … .”

Siwoo Lee said to the people here with full of regret.

“But there will definitely be a price to pay for the hard work. Every employee will have an incentive in addition to this month’s paycheck.”

had to be balanced.

Some employees were not involved in this work.

However, incentives cannot be given to only a few employees.

“Everyone will be given an incentive of 500,000 won. That’s because this work was a huge benefit to Nuri. However, additionally, we plan to pay an additional 500,000 won to those who directly participated in this work.”

It was already decided after consulting with Jin Eun-soo several times.

And the other directors did not have any objection to this issue.

It was only natural that a fair price should be given as a reward for hard work.

At Lee Si-woo’s words, Kim Jeong-nan, who had just participated in the meeting, widened his eyes.

“It’s a pity that we can’t give all employees the same amount of incentives, but we have to pay for their hard work.”

The people in the office nodded at Siwoo’s decision.

“Please give it to each employee tomorrow. Director Jin adds incentives to this month’s salary.”

“Okay, sir.”

* * *

When the meeting was over and everyone returned to their respective positions, Kim Jong-nan was still sitting on the other side of the office.

She was attending the meeting on behalf of the interns.

Siwoo Lee said to the woman who was sitting idly.

“What are you worried about?”

“no… There is nothing to worry about… … .”

“Um, but the expression doesn’t seem like that?”

At his warm voice, Kim Jeong-nan bowed his head with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

It was the first time.

I followed any instructions and worked quietly, but honestly, as a non-regular worker, it was not the first time I was disappointed.

There were times when they were excluded from incentives simply because they were not full-time employees.

“… Isn’t it necessary to provide incentives for interns as well?”

For the past three weeks, while eating dinner with Si-woo Lee, Kim Jeong-nan’s tone has also changed a lot.

“I do not know. Some may think so, but I am not. Even though I use the name of an intern, I am one of the families belonging to Nuri. Who gives, who doesn’t? That’s not it.”

“CEO… … .”

“We are looking for employees who are like family. Do you think this commonly used phrase is really meant for people who are comfortable like family? It feels like I’m saying, ‘I want someone who works like a slave, not like a family member, without asking for a paycheck.'”

It was something anyone could say easily, but there was sincerity in Siwoo Lee’s words.

“It is, but… Discrimination by rank is inevitable.”

“It has to be so. But I think taking that for granted is the problem. We must constantly strive to treat everyone equally. So this is how I do it. There are times when I have discriminatory thoughts according to rank, without realizing it, and I try to get more incentives and hold meetings to evoke that mindset.”

“really… It’s like a dream job for us.”

“If you feel that way, thank you. I’m glad my efforts weren’t in vain. Still, it requires a lot of work, so I don’t think it’s a dream job. Welfare is still lacking.”

Ishiu smiled faintly and turned his head.

As much effort as the staff, the representative must also work hard.

They should be thoroughly rewarded for their efforts and talents.

Lee Si-woo thought it was a courtesy to the staff.

“really… I think the representative is great.”

“Haha, thank you. I feel good because it feels like something has happened for nothing because Jeong Nan is so proud of me. Even if you don’t feel it yet, there must be something you’re lacking. My goal is to improve all of those things.”

Lee Si-woo recently came across the conflict between a large corporation and the labor union in an article.

Companies had to keep interest rates as high as possible, and employees wanted better welfare.

Both positions are understandable, but it is difficult to say which one is wrong.

Either give each other one step at a time, or operate well from the beginning to prevent this from happening.

Siwoo Lee thought that was the best from his point of view.

‘Well, even if you do, you will not be able to avoid conflict in the end.’

The staff recognize Lee Si-woo’s efforts, and he works harder.

It would be nice if such a virtuous cycle continued, but it is not as easy as one might think.

There will be more employees who want what they want, and there will be people who respond harshly to it.

However, Siwoo Lee had no intention of being attracted to such people.

I was going to thoroughly distinguish whether it was a complaint that really should be listened to, or whether it was just greed.

“It’s been too long. Anyway, now that the office relocation is over and furniture is coming into the dormitory, Nan Jeong will be able to spend comfortably next week. Come on, let’s go eat.”

For the past three weeks, Kim Jeong-nan has been watching what kind of person Si-woo Lee is.

I get up faster than my employees, go to work, and check everything.

He was a person who listened to the opinions of many people and came up with the best way, rather than running according to his own stubbornness.

Si-woo Lee’s workload was enormous to the extent that the word “top operator” was disregarded.

Even after all the employees leave the office, the lights in the office are always on until late.

Kim Jeong-nan, who returned from dinner with Si-woo Lee, had no choice but to think ‘today as well’.

This is because Siwoo Lee went straight to the office and pulled out a thick book with environmental laws written on it.

“You are constantly studying.”

“It should be. do you know that One of the conditions for building a shredder is that there must be at least one employee with a waste management license? That is why most companies select employees with certifications or even buy certifications.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“Um, are you unfamiliar with buying a license? The employee is registered, but the employee does not go to work. They just lend their licenses to the company.”

“Isn’t that a shortcut?”

“Yes. However, it is a method used by quite a few companies. It’s hard to get a license. Ummm, it’s a shame, but now Nuri is using that shortcut.”

“… … really?”

Kim Jeong-nan, who thought it was a really clean and nothing to be ashamed of, frowned slightly at the last words.

Seeing this, Siwoo laughed bitterly.

“yes. But starting next week, you don’t have to do that anymore.

“yes? why?”

“Because next week is a test.”

Siwoo Lee did not want to use such a shortcut as much as possible.

However, it took quite a while to get a waste driver’s license.

“A test?”

“yes. I also hate to keep using shortcuts. So, I decided to get my license. It is better for the CEO to have a certificate rather than looking for an employee with a certificate.”

Kim Jong-Nan’s eyes widened.

Not only is the certification exam difficult, but it is also very difficult to qualify for it.

“I think the real representative is diligent. Isn’t it hard?”

“Haha, I would be lying if I said it wasn’t hard. Still, thinking that I can be proud of others gives me strength.”
