The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1139



Only Noblemtl

1139.

Even if Director Choi Min-hyeok provides the best welfare.

People are always hungry for desire.

“Do you know the expression ‘tosagupeng’?”

Vice President Koo Jun-mo chuckled.

“I don’t think that will work for us.”

“Then, do you plan to just let the Collins division be taken over by Osung Electronics? We have to stop it. Osung Electronics will definitely cut KM Electronics’ manpower!”

Vice President Koo Jun-mo looked at me with a dumbfounded look.

“You know the value of Collins, but you still say that? Right now, Oseong Electronics needs to hire more Collins personnel.”

“Absolutely not.”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s story was twisted from the start.

He admitted his mistake, but he couldn’t stop.

Vice President Koo Jun-mo could not have been unaware of Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s intentions.

‘Salomon Brothers. So, are you planning to shake things up from within?’

The purpose would be revenge against Director Choi Min-hyeok.

The benefit you get from the process is that your work is recognized.

I don’t know for sure, but it could have been a place within Salomon Brothers.

‘Are you working with KM Electronics stocks?’

I didn’t know that might be the case.

But Vice President Koo Jun-mo sighed.

“It won’t do any good to talk to us. But I can help you with one thing. The other side is in a different situation. They were thrown out onto the street with harsh language.”

I didn’t say anything about occasionally getting calls from there.

The work inside KM Electronics alone was a headache.

This also applies to your future.

It was difficult to even change jobs after being hired by Oseong Electronics.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo tilted his head.

“Where are you talking about?”

“Optis.”

Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo knows the company Optis well. It is one of the KM Group affiliates that is undergoing restructuring. The existing employees have already been laid off.

‘Wait, is that still the rumor that Optis is returning?’

***

Director Choi Min-hyeok was informed that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo met with Union Chairman Koo Jun-mo.

He chuckled.

I was reminded of the saying, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

“It was a good thing they didn’t fire union chairman Koo Jun-mo.”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don also knew why Director Choi Min-hyeok said such things.

“…I didn’t do anything that could be considered problematic.”

“But didn’t the union meet with executives and employees regularly?”

“That’s true. I guess I have to keep an eye on Oseong Electronics.”

“Oh, that’s a problem too.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok smiled bitterly. If you get caught by the Oseong Electronics investigation team before the sale of the Collins division, your future corporate life will be miserable.

“Because Oseong Electronics doesn’t have a union.”

“Yes. That seems to be the problem. But it’s a problem that we leave to KM Electronics.”

Even if I stayed at KM Electronics right away, I had to receive in-house training.

It is not easy for a union that only throws Molotov cocktails every day and whose job is to shoot people to survive.

I’m not talking about being forcibly fired from the company.

The company atmosphere has erased the foundation of the union.

Director Choi Min-hyeok didn’t like the lack of hot cider, but he thought it wasn’t a bad idea.

To suffocate.

“Don’t look at me like a bad guy.”

Team leader Jo Seong-don vented his grievances.

“Sometimes I think it’s too much. Wouldn’t it be better for the other person if we just sorted it out?”

“Then they’ll come to the headquarters and protest, and I don’t want that.”

“… … .”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don shut his mouth when he realized that Director Choi Min-hyeok was actually cruel, even though he seemed generous. Everything was like this.

Sometimes, I thought that Director Choi Min-hyeok was too indecisive, even though he was human.

But now that I look back, that wasn’t the case.

Because you are gradually destroying your opponent.

Director Choi Min-hyeok felt burdened by Team Leader Jo Seong-don’s gaze.

“So what will our Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo do next?”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don said it right away because it was something he had been planning to say anyway.

“We will go and find the restructuring targets of the KM Group.”

“The restructuring has already been completed, right? And I heard that your grandfather gave you various benefits.”

“Most of them are. But there are some who are not and remain. In fact, it is because there is no proper time to go. They often protest in front of the KM Group headquarters.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok stuck out his tongue.

“Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo will be inciting them.”

“yes.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok said with an indifferent expression.

“I’m talking about the land in Pangyo. You’ve also purchased a building and are preparing it for in-house training, right?”

“Yes. It is in progress because there are limitations in the existing building.”

“Please hurry up and finish the preparations. You can even call it KM University. Just make a contract with the best experts. If possible, work with other universities. Make preparations so that KM Electronics can provide practical training.”

“…All right.”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don did not ask Director Choi Min-hyeok why he was doing this. The in-house training that Director Choi Min-hyeok has conducted so far has already surpassed the level of a typical university.

Then it was obvious what to do next.

‘Well, there are many things that cannot be done with the existing workforce.’

Software in particular was a problem.

I’m using KMBOOK now, but I couldn’t maintain it this way.

Scouting alone had its limitations.

***

The restructuring of the KM Group was not rapid.

It was done gradually over time.

We left as much leeway as possible when reorganizing unnecessary affiliates.

And most of the affiliated company employees moved to other companies.

KM Optis was also one of those targets.

In the first place, optical devices do not fit the character of the KM Group.

It was a typical example of an octopus-style merger and acquisition.

However, it wasn’t difficult to change jobs until you reached the level of deputy manager, or even manager.

Other companies also know the KM Group’s situation well.

Those of an intermediate age are a bit different.

This is the case of Vice President Eugene Sik. He was in his 40s and led KM Optis. It was not easy for him to do something new now.

Director Jang Seung-il recognized this and helped the group transfer to another company.

But it was no use.

He eventually participated occasionally in strikes at headquarters.

But the strike at headquarters wasn’t easy either.

This is because Director Jang Seung-il directly communicates and persuades each individual.

Chief Eugene Sik was ultimately one of the few remaining strikers.

He had never belonged to a union, so he found his situation absurd.

But then two people came to see him.

They were Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo and Manager Cheon Seon-gu.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Kim Hyun-woo, Senior Vice President. To be exact, I should say he was a former managing director at KM Electronics. He used to be at Oseong Electronics.”

He used the same position he had at that time, Senior Vice President of Oseong Electronics.

Because that seems to be the working-level staff.

“…Why have you come to see me?”

Manager Yoo Jin-sik glanced at Senior Manager Kim Hyeon-woo’s business card.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had gained weight and was not a pleasant sight.

No, but I’ve lost a lot of weight now.

It’s because of the stress on Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“I understand your situation, Mr. Yoo. I was like that once too.”

“I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about.”

“Aren’t you a victim of restructuring?”

Vice President Yoo Jin-sik smiled bitterly. Chairman Choi Yong-wook’s restructuring was not something he carried out unilaterally. He gave enough opportunities to affiliates.

‘I just didn’t take the chance.’

It also had to do with his own incompetence.

“… You can’t necessarily think that way.”

But Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo was persistent. He continued to insist on unilateral restructuring.

“You’ve devoted your whole life to get to where you are now. But you can’t just leave the company because it’s restructuring. I can understand if the company is going through a difficult time. But isn’t the situation different for KM Group?”

I can’t help but know what you’re saying.

Because that was the intention of those who were striking.

Director Yoo Jin-sik thought of Director Jang Seung-il, who had tried to persuade him while spitting.

“You can’t simply look at it that way. Director Jang Seung-il himself came forward to look for jobs.”

In fact, he could have gone to a mediocre job too.

But it couldn’t be the same now.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo continued to persuade and persuade again.

But he didn’t think this would be easy.

‘Damn it, Director Jang, that bastard.’

Director Jang Seung-il did not handle things half-heartedly.

But he had no intention of giving up.

This was important.

Director Choi Min-hyeok was not an opponent that could be dealt with financially.

Then we have to shake it from the inside, because that is the most rational thing to do.

‘There is no tree that will not fall after ten blows!’

***

Vice President Yoo Jin-sik also inspected KM Electronics following Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s visit.

He was shocked when he saw the in-house welfare of KM Electronics.

‘oh my god.’

It was the price I paid for neglecting worldly affairs due to the restructuring of Optis.

Vice President Lee Dong-soo stuck out his tongue at Manager Yoo Jin-sik, who was looking into KM Electronics’ internal welfare information.

“Oh, you didn’t know that? It’s information that you can find on TV these days.”

“… It’s on the news?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. It’s information that you can find on any broadcast. It’s actually unique. There’s no major domestic company that does that.”

“I don’t think KM Group would do that either?”

“How could KM Group do something like that? They are busy reorganizing their affiliates.”

Vice President Lee Dong-soo glanced around the empty office. Most of the people had left. Those who remained were a handful.

Chairman Choi Yong-wook did not forcefully reorganize them.

Thanks to that, they were able to go to work at Optis.

In fact, just looking at this, you can see that Chairman Choi Yong-wook was not a bad chairman of a mid-sized company.

Originally, this building was supposed to be sold and vacated.

But they didn’t forcibly kick people out.

Just looking at this, you can see that the KM Group has changed a lot from before.

“But this is also a limitation. I think I need to start preparing little by little now.”

Manager Eugene Sik sighed.

“Are you going to work for a foreign company?”

“There are no other suitable jobs. The optical field is too narrow.”

Vice President Yoo Jin-sik sighed again. He did not hate Chairman Choi Yong-wook. After all, the reason this happened was because of a structural problem.

So he thought of the temptation that Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo had tried.

So I said.

“… Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo. No, I think it’s Managing Director Kim Hyeon-woo. He’s famous.”

“Huh? You know too?”

“Of course. I heard about the uproar at Oseong Electronics through an acquaintance of mine.”

Deputy Director Lee Dong-soo knew Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s movements quite well.

He also contacted his acquaintance to find a job because of the restructuring, but it was not true.

The encouragement they gave was very simple.

Even Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo is holding up well, so you can succeed.

Deputy Director Yoo Jin-soo opened his mouth wide as he listened to Senior Director Kim Hyun-woo’s story. Naturally, he also heard about Director Choi Min-hyeok, who was the opposite of Senior Director Kim Hyun-woo.

Vice Minister Lee Dong-soo was also well aware of that fact.

“In fact, the person behind the KM Group restructuring is none other than Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“… So that’s why.”

“Perhaps, Chief Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo harbored a grudge against Director Choi Min-hyeok. That’s why he came to see Director Yoo Jin-soo and incited him.”

“Am I worth it?”

“I don’t know about that. There are some employees here, but the situation is the same at other affiliates. If you gather them all together, I don’t know, but there will be over 100 people.”

If they get together and go to KM Electronics and go on strike, it will not be a light matter.

Moreover, if that is the driving force, unions in other affiliated companies will also rise up.

Manager Yoo Jin-soo was speechless.

“I’m not a union member!”

“That’s why he’s a better fit. He’s a regular employee, so he’s a factor that can arouse sympathy.”

“… … .”

Director Yoo Jin-soo was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t open his mouth.
