chapter 6
[Episode 6] Violation of contract? you’re funny
A notice that came suddenly.
It didn’t make sense to send proof of content because it was a breach of contract.
‘Did you see me as a hogu?’
If Lee Si-woo had worked as a general employee with a vague knowledge of junk dealers, he might have nodded.
It was difficult for general employees to know what the contract was and in what form.
However, Siwoo Lee was nothing more than the successor his father wanted to raise as the next president.
Thanks to that, I knew what the contract was.
Siwoo Lee kicked his tongue and threw a certificate from The K Besteel.
At that time, Woo-cheol Shin and Jae-shin Moon, who returned from a meal together, entered the office.
“what’s the matter? What’s going on?”
Shin Woo-cheol, noticing that Lee Si-woo was not feeling well, asked cautiously.
“The proof of the breach of contract came from The K.”
Moon Jae-shin tilted his head when he said that it was a breach of contract.
“Are you talking about the contract?”
“Yes, sir.”
Originally, the insides of these junk shops would not be known to others, but this problem was too ridiculous to swallow alone.
“Why are you sending proof of content to a general junk dealer for violating the contract?”
Moon Jae-shin’s eyes became sharp.
While eating, he talked with Siwoo Lee in various ways.
Through that conversation, I was able to confirm once again that Si-woo Lee was very knowledgeable about the junk dealer industry.
In addition to that, I learned from the former CEO and was considering an honest and clean management direction, so there was nothing lacking in many ways.
Therefore, Jae-Shin Moon decided to raise Si-Woo Lee.
“I should find out, but I think I didn’t know because I was young and recently inherited a junk dealer. Doesn’t that mean they’re going to pass their faults on to the poor guy?”
Ishiu had no choice but to think so.
Seeing this certificate of content, Si-Woo Lee could easily think of Seong-Woo Jang.
It was because the level of self-deprecation was similar to him.
Jang Seong-woo ignored Lee Si-woo from one to ten.
I met my parents so well and I heard many times that I was envious, and even when we were working together, I didn’t even listen to Siwoo Lee because of my age.
“Twitter, you’re doing a messy job.”
Moon Jae-shin also clicked his tongue at The K-Besteel’s shallow behavior.
However, Shin Woo-cheol, the only public who did not know what the contract was, asked with a questionable face.
“What is a breach of contract?”
“The contract is one of the types of rights between the target company and the steel mill. In order to give preferential treatment to the target companies, the steel mill sets a certain amount of tonnage each year and raises it by 20 won from the specified unit price.”
As if Lee Si-woo’s explanation was correct, Shin Woo-cheol glanced at Moon Jae-shin.
Moon Jae-shin nodded his head without saying a word.
The steelworks created a preferential treatment for contracts in order to improve the financial situation of those who contracted directly with them.
“Usually the target receives the contract amount and the intermediary gives away a portion of the tonnage specified in the contract amount. And if the promised tonnage is not met, the proof of content comes from the steel mill.”
“what? Is there anything strange about hearing that story?”
Moon Jae-shin’s additional explanation made Shin Woo-cheol aware of something strange.
There was no explanation as to why the proof of contents came to Nuri Recycling, a junk dealer that exists under it, rather than an intermediate store.
“Uncle, if it is possible, the matter of breach of contract does not come to a junk dealer like us.”
“Then why did the proof come from The-K?”
“Ha, at least. Isn’t that what Director Jang led?”
Siwoo Lee sighed heavily as if trying to cool the boiling heat, and then sat down on the chair.
Then he put one hand on his forehead and closed his eyes.
“As a representative of Daesang, it is very frustrating to see a junk dealer handling things like this. We’ve already decided to open a deal, so we’d like to help with this… How about getting help from us this time, sir?”
Shin Woo-cheol’s eyes widened at Moon Jae-shin’s attitude.
Known for being polite but strict, he did not know that he would show such kindness.
In fact, Moon Jae-shin was surprised by himself.
If Si-woo Lee didn’t like him even a little, he would have turned around mercilessly even if there was such a problem.
However, Moon Jae-shin liked Lee Si-woo enough to show such exceptional behavior.
I liked the items Nuri Recycling has, and I also liked the fact that I could receive items of similar quality in the future.
So, although I have already done a favor with the advance deposit, I wanted to help even the portion of the contract so that there is no feeling left behind.
“Just getting the advance deposit was a big help. How else can you help your representative? … .”
“It is no longer someone who enjoys a famous mountain. Besides, it’s not just about giving, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Would you like to get more… … .”
Siwoo Lee felt like his heart was sinking for nothing.
As a result of talking with him today, Jae-Shin Moon was a very communicative person.
The work was smoother than I expected, and the terms of the transaction were excellent.
Being human was also good enough for Shin Woo-cheol to introduce.
Because of that, Siwoo Lee had forgotten that he was a merchant.
Although the situation was not good, Nuri Recycling was a pretty good junk dealer.
A place where you can rip it out if you want to eat it.
Si-woo Lee looked at Jae-shin Moon with a nervous expression.
“Haha, this… You took my words very seriously. You don’t have to be nervous. Because it meant that we would receive a lot of high-quality items in the future. It is very difficult to find a company that does not play with things like Nuri. I’m not a stupid person to get my hands on something like this.”
It was only then that Siwoo could breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was because my head was full of thoughts about Jang Seong-wu and The K Besteel, so I was nervous because I went too far ahead.
Si-woo Lee made an apologetic expression as he seemed suspicious of someone approaching with good intentions for nothing.
However, Moon Jae-shin was able to feel at ease thanks to Si-woo Lee’s attitude.
Those who did not move if there was no profit, those who were like rocks but became infinitely light when it seemed that there was a profit, were the bosses of junk dealers.
After all, the bosses of junkyards are also traders.
That was the biggest thing Moon Jae-shin learned while working on this floor.
Fortunately, the young boss seemed to have a good understanding of the principle behind this floor.
Because of this, Moon Jae-shin wondered what kind of person Lee Si-woo’s father, Lee Do-woon, was once again.
He had already heard the rumors that he valued faithfulness more than money.
Just by looking at the scrap metal in Nuri Recycling right now, you can see why such a rumor has spread.
His successor, Siwoo Lee, was also a very prosperous young man.
Moon Jae-shin regretted not having visited at least once, even if Nuri Recycling had a contract with The K Besteel.
“Then can I ask for help if I’m afraid?”
“of course. $500,000 is not a lot of money. Myeongsan will discuss this matter with The K.”
“Thank you very much!”
When he said that he would help, Siwoo got up from his seat and bowed his head politely.
“Haha, I have high expectations for Nuri. By the way, The K… You know, you’re not going to make any money doing this messy job. I want the representative to keep this in mind. Looking at it right now, it may seem like a profit, but that way, The Kay will never be the target.”
Moon Jae-shin’s eyes were filled with certainty.
The target was not something that could be achieved just because there was money.
Funds are the basics, and the relationship with other companies and the internal circumstances of the company were the main factors.
Other than that, the steel mill made a decision and made a contract by examining various things.
‘In that sense, The Kay is absolutely gorgeous. tt, come to think of it, was the DS where The K got the code?’
DS was a competitor to Myeongsan Steel and a supplier to the same steel mill.
Moon Jae-shin thought for a moment with a frown on his face, then shook off his thoughts and told Si-woo Lee.
“CEO, please don’t worry about the contract issue and just focus on running the junkyard without overdoing it.”
* * *
next day.
Today, Si-Woo Lee started the morning by using the Scrap Generation skill.
I had to be diligent because about 300,000 won is flying away every time I miss a day.
After creating and organizing scrap metal, Si-Woo Lee entered the office.
‘Since I sent you a certificate of content, I think Jang Seong-woo will come to take medicine for his personality… … .’
That was then.
A CCTV screen that suddenly caught my eye caught a luxurious vehicle entering the junkyard entrance.
“They say that even a tiger will come to me… No, is it a fox in this case?”
Si-Woo smiled and got up from his seat.
Jang Seong-woo entered the antique shop with a bright expression.
“How are you?”
“yes. Director Jang, no, how have you been?”
It was a small greeting to hear, but Siwoo Lee’s expression was bloody.
Jang Seong-woo kicked his tongue at his behavior, but today he was able to put up with it.
“Did you get a certificate of content?”
“I got it. Come to think of it, the position you received at The K is not a director, but a manager, right?”
Siwoo Lee blatantly laughed at the position he had dropped.
But Jang Seong-woo was not disappointed.
Because The K Besteel decided to give you the same salary you received as a director at Nuri Recycling.
“What does rank matter? It’s important that there is a company looking for me. I’m old, so there’s no need to measure this and that.”
Lee Si-woo seemed to be rising from within for nothing.
It was because it was disgusting to see a person who committed all sorts of things to Nuri recycling and left pretending to be nice.
“Then I’m happy.”
“Hey, you still have to thank me. I asked the representative to reduce the claim for damages of 20 million won to 5 million won. It’s my previous job I’ve been at for 10 years, but I have this kind of loyalty.”
it was dog shit
Jang Seong-woo was a person who knew exactly how much capital was left in Nuri Recycling.
“Oh, I don’t know where to put myself because you’ve been so considerate of me.”
He said as much sarcastic as he could, but Jang Seong-woo just smiled as if he was in a good mood.
“So, consider my position. Paying just 5 million won neatly and sorting things out with The K… … .”
“The manager seems to still feel like a child. Don’t you think I’m an ignorant guy who doesn’t even know about the contract?”
“What… The contract will know. But, it’s true that Nouri directly asked The-K for the contract. Whoops.”
Even if Jang Seong-woo’s words were true, it was a funny sound that did not match.
My father was never a person who asked for contracts and piled things up in the yard.
He valued faithfulness, and was a man who kept his promises unconditionally.
He could not have known that a contract was also a kind of promise.
Obviously, if I had requested the contract, it would have been processed quickly.
It was clear that Jang Seong-woo was bluffing, or that he handled and decorated the contract request without his father’s knowledge.
Siu Lee thought that the latter was probably right.
“Hmm, Nuri made the request first, so there’s no way my father didn’t take things out.”
“Well? I don’t even know why.”
Jang Seong-wu skillfully shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing this, Siwoo Lee laughed as if it was ridiculous.
“I only know that 10 years is useless.”
“Yeah, I agree with that. To be honest, after working together for 10 years and leading a company, shouldn’t I have passed on the next CEO to me? What the hell do you believe in giving you a representative? tt.”
“If it wasn’t for me, my father probably wouldn’t have handed over the position to the manager. What do you believe in the manager and give him a representative?”
It is said that Jang Seong-woo led a company, but it did not last long and ate it up.
A place where people play with scrap metal was called a workshop.
It was a company that talked a lot about filling pipes with soil.
“Why don’t you believe it? I am the person who has run this place like mine for 10 years.”
“Hey, it’s my shop… Did you do it because you thought it was like my store?”
“What?”
“They stole scrap metal and sold it to The K.”
Si-woo Lee took out the complaint from his bosom and shoved it towards him.
It was a hot complaint that came in yesterday.
When Jang Seong-woo appeared in front of me like today, I kept it in my arms to show it.
“you… What is this?”
“Can’t you see? It’s a complaint.”
“What?”
“why? Did you think you could hide this fact forever? breach of contract? I’m not really funny… … .”
Jang Seong-woo, who finally realized the situation, blushed bright red and was furious.
“You, you bastard! Dare to be cocky?”
“Look, Jang Seong-woo, ‘Director’. Think objectively about who’s cheeky. I’m the head of a company, and you’re the only manager.”
Whoops.
The sound of Jang Seong-woo’s teeth grinding was heard.
“Where do you go? Move The K to press or whatever you do, try as much as you can. Do you think I will blink an eye?”
Siwoo Lee decided to go out strong.
It reminded me of my father’s words that we should know when to bow our heads and when we don’t.
And when you don’t, you’re told to leave.
In this case, without a second thought, it was the latter.
Besides, since Jang Seong-woo was the first to leave, Si-woo Lee had nothing to hesitate.
Even if I hand over Nuri recycling, I will hand it over to Myeongsan Steel, and even if I die, I will not give benefits to The K Besteel or Jang Seong-woo.
‘Wow, let’s not get excited. Even if you are the youngest, you should be as cool as your head.’
Even if your heart is hot, your head is always cold.
This was also the word my father wore in his mouth.
“Don’t regret it. This junk dealer will soon fall into my hands.”
The words of a man who lost his cool in excitement.
Si-woo Lee was able to find the answer in the words of Seong-woo Jang.
“Ah, was the boss of the trousers the one promised at The-K?”
There was only one way for Jang Seong-woo, who had a lot of debt, to get Nuri recycling.
The K Besteel took over and appointed Jang Seong-woo as the manager.
Those who became bosses in a similar way were often called barge bosses.
“What?”
“Now I understand. The reason why the manager is so excited and rushing at me. It’s very diverse.”
“Hey, Siwoo!”
“why? Are you mad at me for saying this? During that time, I was treated with respect like a grown-up because my father recognized me as a member of the family, whether I liked it or not. But I have never once recognized the manager as a member of the family. How do you think of a person who does such a thing as a family member? It’s because my dad is a real big guy. Ugh.”
As an adult, I tried to respect him simply because he was older.
Even if I thought that this was not the case, I gave it according to his opinion because he was the elder.
However, that was only applicable when we were together within the fence called Nuri recycling.
“You reveal your true colors as soon as the boss and I disappear?”
“It’s not me who reveals my true nature, it’s the manager. How have you been patient? I still wonder how the manager managed to survive 10 years under his father.”
“You will regret it. You had to hold on to me and somehow deal with the breach of contract.”
“What regrets… Manager, please don’t cling to me later.”
