The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 273



Only Noblemtl

Episode 273. Bidding Competition (4)

There seemed to be about 150 union members gathered at the briefing session to select the construction company.

There are probably a lot more people who actually have union membership, but this is how it turned out because only those who have time gathered.

That doesn’t mean only the 150 people here are voting.

This briefing session was being broadcast live right now.

The construction company that submitted the bid today will hold a general meeting to select the construction company later.

Representatives from several construction companies, including Taesung Construction, which arrived first and was looking around the premises, and Mirae Construction, which arrived a little earlier, began to enter the premises.

Taesung and Mirae are seriously participating in this public bidding, so they came early.

Other construction companies were coming in tentatively, probably because they thought it wouldn’t work out anyway.

Chae Kyung-jun scanned the faces of the attendees, hoping to see if there were any familiar faces.

At the construction company representative meeting that Chae Kyung-jun attended some time ago, decision makers such as each company’s president or vice president were present.

If they show up in a place like this, it means they are risking their life.

It’s difficult to come and it’s not possible to come.

However, if someone I know comes, I plan to coax them to some extent and persuade them to give up.

I was confident that I could convince them enough, as they probably didn’t think they would succeed in this bid either.

There was no face to be seen, whether fortunate or unfortunate.

‘Okay, so the only real competitor is Mirae Construction.’

It was when I was breathing a sigh of relief.

Representatives from each company were seen approaching the table, hesitating and hesitating.

They looked around and then slowly approached Taesung before sitting down.

“hello.”

“Huh? Oh, yes. Hello.”

First, I greeted the head of the housing division who came out as a representative of Taesung Construction, but it seemed like a formality.

Because while greeting the manager, his eyes were scanning the area behind him.

The manager must have felt it too, because he greeted me roughly.

The people who attended as representatives of the construction company noticed a young man standing in front of the wall and their eyes lit up.

And then he came over with brisk strides and bowed his head.

“Hello, Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun. I am the head of Daehyun Construction. The vice president told me to make sure to attend and give you my regards.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Chae Kyung-jun. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I’ll express my gratitude to the Vice President separately.”

“Hello, team leader. We are DA Industrial Development’s… … .”

Chae Kyung-jun was honestly surprised.

This is because the titles of the people who came out as representatives from each company were quite fancy.

‘Are you seriously going to jump into this bidding?’

They waved their hands as they looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“Oh, we have no intention of beating Taesung this time. Our Daehyun was already selected as the construction company last time, but we failed. How could we have the decency to challenge again? There have been a lot of incidents going on lately. I just came to say hello.”

“We’re the same! The team leader intentionally participated, but he said that it wouldn’t be right for us to just leave… … .”

Only then did Chae Kyung-jun nod and greet her comfortably.

“Oh, so that’s what it was. Thank you for coming all this way.”

“Don’t worry. Just like Taesung, we have other affiliates as well as construction. Since we’ll probably see each other again, wouldn’t it be good to be friendly? Haha, is that too materialistic?”

Although the chief said it openly, everyone knew that it was actually a way to reassure them.

Everyone here knows how to fight underwater.

An approach without clear intentions arouses suspicion.

It would have been better to be honest and reveal my true feelings.

‘I can’t completely believe it, but I guess I don’t have to turn down an extended hand here.’

Chae Kyung-jun welcomed it with a smile.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to meet someone like you, Chief. I ask for your continued support.”

I probably won’t see the director much from now on.

The reason Chae Kyung-jun participated in the bid was because the CEO recommended it to gain experience, and it was not his original job.

However, the head of the headquarters did not come personally, but represented the company.

It was more like a sign to keep the door open for dialogue in case Daehyun Construction or Daehyun Group become entangled in the future.

“Haha, you shouldn’t monopolize Daehyun too much. You should give us time to say hello too.”

After that, I received greetings from several more construction companies.

They are all people from the construction company who attended the meeting.

I came to say hello on behalf of my boss.

In fact, the reason Chae Kyung-jun took on the role of head of the information network created during the construction company meeting was because there were various conflicts of interest involved.

Because they didn’t like seeing each other’s competitors above them, and Chae Kyung-jun’s cause was the most certain.

However, even if it was only formal, this acknowledgement also meant that they were acknowledging Taesung Construction and Chae Kyung-jun.

Thanks to this, the briefing room suddenly became a place for people to get their hands on Taesung Construction.

“Didn’t that guy say he’s been in his second year?”

“I thought you were new, but why do you know so many people?”

“Looking at the name tags, they’re all from different construction companies. Why are these old people bowing down?”

The union members watched the scene with bewildered expressions.

Since they didn’t know the details of the incident, they just thought it was strange and passed it over.

The problem was building the future.

Today’s competitive bidding was nothing more than a competition between Taesung and Mirae.

Other companies didn’t even think that they would succeed in the bid and just came to show off their skills.

But aren’t the attendees only flocking to Taesung and not paying any attention to the future?

From the perspective of Tak Jae-min, who came as a representative of future construction, it was extremely unpleasant.

‘No, you all ignore me like this even though you know who I am?’

Of course, I would understand if I didn’t recognize him, even if he was the youngest son of a wealthy family somewhere.

However, Tak Jae-min is the eldest son of the head of Mirae Group, the number one conglomerate in South Korea.

Although he is competing with Tak Hee-min, he may become the next leader.

Wouldn’t it be right to come to you first and say hello?

Even without that, his pride was hurt because he, as the head of the strategy department, personally intervened in the work of a single affiliate.

How could a small company that couldn’t even compare to the Mirae Group ignore him and only focus on Taesung?

Even the target was someone he knew well.

Chae Kyung-jun.

The main culprit who caused a huge hindrance to the launch of future construction.

Of course, Tak Jae-min wasn’t stupid, so he noticed that Tak Hee-min was using Chae Kyung-jun’s plan.

Anything involving Tak Hee-min is of utmost importance.

Since we mobilized the entire strategy room to investigate, it wasn’t difficult to figure out what happened.

Chae Kyung-jun had no intention of hiding it, so he was able to find it right away.

‘bouncer.’

Even if it was the small Tak Hee-min, there was no way Chae Kyung-jun would look good.

If that guy hadn’t planned all sorts of things to throw mud at the construction of the future, Tak Hee-min wouldn’t have been able to target the construction of the future so easily.

At least, since he was watching Tak Hee-min’s movements, he could have known about it in advance.

The blow to Tak Jae-min this time was greater than expected.

There was an unwritten rule in the Mirae Group that no matter how much the children fought among themselves, the management rights of the chairman, the head of the company, should not be touched.

Tak Hee-min made it seem as if Tak Jae-min had touched that taboo.

They barely managed to bring in neutral forces and created a relationship using the stocks of the future construction as an excuse.

Before the chairman’s anger could subside, the neutral forces, whose feet were numb, threw away their stocks and left first.

Because of this, the company started to falter as soon as it started.

That was also the reason why Tak Jae-min, who had no apparent connection to Mirae Construction, appeared in person.

‘There is no one I can trust, no one I can trust.’

There is no one to trust in building the future yet.

This Noryangjin redevelopment project is also a must from a future construction perspective.

I couldn’t send someone so incompetent to do such an important job.

As a cautious person, he felt relieved only when he personally participated.

So that’s why I’m going through this humiliation now.

‘How dare you… ….’

Tak Jae-min gritted his teeth.

Now, it’s not like I can talk to other people first.

Pride is pride, but in this situation where everyone is gathered around Taesung, it’s the same as bowing your head to the other person and going in.

Moreover, all the construction companies here are hostile to future construction.

‘It was wrong of them to fight among themselves. Then, are there any fools who would leave an empty lot alone?’

Tak Jae-min snorted.

It was a timely and worthwhile move to jump in, even if it meant antagonizing all the struggling construction companies.

Because construction companies were all busy taking care of their own futures, they couldn’t even begin to build the future.

‘You’ve gathered them all in one place?’

Originally, I thought that construction companies would never join forces.

There is no sure way to stop the construction of the future, so why should we needlessly antagonize the future group and shed blood?

And when one company competes with the construction of the future, it is obvious that only that company will suffer and the other companies will benefit.

In that situation, I thought there would be no company that could stop Mirae Construction.

That thought was sadly wrong.

Tak Jae-min glanced back at the wall.

A young man was seen standing upright, still looking straight ahead.

I felt bad.

It wasn’t just that I felt bad because I had been bitten.

There was something primal that got on his nerves.

The briefing session began without me even having time to think about what it was.

The union staff in charge of society began to carry out the meal order in their own way, but it did not enter Tak Jae-min’s mind.

The union side’s explanation of the bidding guidelines continued for a long time.

Detailed bidding guidelines followed, from an outline of the specific land area, number of households, and floor space to the bidding method.

I didn’t even listen to it because it was something I already knew.

‘No, I have to concentrate.’

Why did you come all the way here?

To win this business.

Tak Jae-min looked ahead with pride.

The union members gathered and sat inside the building were visible.

There were familiar faces everywhere.

In fact, the construction of the future has finished its follow-up work.

Because I was in no position to save my strength in a situation where I didn’t know how Taesung would turn out.

If we exclude other companies that are not in a position to compete, the biggest competitor in this position is Taesung Construction.

If that is the case, future construction projects that lack both know-how and performance will be delayed.

To overcome it, other means were needed.

I met with a few voters in advance and finished ‘persuading’ them.

Not just voters.

Not only did they own several houses in the area for speculative purposes, they also had considerable influence over the association.

In the early stages of redevelopment, a promotion committee was formed and dissolved when a union was formed. These were the people who were part of that promotion committee.

In fact, those are the only conditions that the construction company can put forth.

There is no need to even follow the unspoken rules.

Because no company is willing to bid at a loss.

No matter how good the character is, he will have to meet the conditions to some extent.

Then I was confident.

Because they’ve done the groundwork and will control public opinion.

“… … We will present the above conditions.”

As expected, other companies put forth terms that were not worth considering.

It was clear that they were so busy that they could not afford any more leeway.

Finally, it was Taesung’s turn to build.

“We present a regionally specialized plan through a premiumization strategy.”

The head of Taesung Construction’s housing division presented the conditions he had prepared.

This was not too far off from expectations either.

Because of Noryangjin’s location, a luxury strategy was a natural choice.

As Taesung’s presentation was over and Tak Jaemin was about to confidently stand up, the manager suddenly tapped the microphone and tossed it aside.

‘This is unexpected.’

Chae Kyung-jun was stepping forward.
