The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 340



Only Noblemtl

Episode 340. Going to work (2)

I had the chat window open on one side of the screen while searching for conservation construction on the Internet.

It was a small company that didn’t even have a proper website.

Instead, its history is very old.

It was founded in 1987.

If so, there is only one reason why Mirae Construction merged and acquired it.

The idea is to gain know-how and connections.

Because Mirae Construction was founded not too long ago.

This is a common method used by companies with capital when the market is rushing in.

You don’t have any know-how?

Can’t you just buy it with money?

This was possible because it was a large corporation with strong capital.

And it was clear that Tak Jae-min had no intention of leaving Mirae Construction to the dustbin of fortune.

It’s a given.

The Future Group is fighting with equal strength between Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min.

It is different from the Taesung Group, where Chae Tae-ik was secretly treated as the successor.

Tak Jae-min had to expand his influence even a little.

Is it worth abandoning the future construction that has already been established?

You have to raise them well and make them your own.

=It seems like Director Tak Jae-min is seriously thinking about developing future construction.

-That’s right. This time, I was in charge of the construction of the knowledge industrial complex.

The construction industry is still in a slump.

To be exact, the aftereffects of what I did still remain.

It is not easy to restore an image once it has been broken.

And it was something they absolutely could not afford to get caught doing.

Construction company representatives don’t know that I have stepped up and shaken up the construction industry.

I only knew that they had noticed the difficulties in the construction industry in advance and made a deal with the government.

It’s your own fault, but it wouldn’t be good if it became known.

So I kept my mouth shut.

In the midst of all this, only two companies maintained a clean image: Mirae Construction and Taesung Construction.

Taesung Construction doesn’t just have a clean image.

Because I deliberately aimed for that and created an image strategy.

On the other hand, future construction was more like a benefit to me, being included in my plans.

This means that he rode without paying.

While other construction companies were struggling due to suspicions of poor construction, Mirae Construction had just been established.

Before talking about poor construction, the construction itself never started.

They couldn’t beat Taesung during the Noryangjin redevelopment bid, but they must have won the bid at the Knowledge Industry Development Center.

There is a limit to the amount of work Taesung can handle.

=Thank you for letting me know.

-It’s nothing special.

From an industry perspective, this isn’t all that impressive.

The new company acquired and merged with a struggling construction company and successfully began a new project.

It’s a common thing.

But it was also information that I had to know.

You must always keep an eye on Tak Jae-min’s movements.

And no matter how much I go around to other affiliates, I’m basically a Taesung Construction person, so how can I not know the news in the construction industry?

If you are worried about other things and then something happens at home, that’s putting the cart before the horse.

Of course, you can go to the CEO, managing director, or public relations team to find out, but it’s not a bad thing to have multiple sources of information.

You can also cross-check and find out industry rumors that aren’t covered in Taesung.

-I know you say that, but please say what you were going to say earlier.

-I wonder what interesting things are happening in Taeseong.

– Did Team Leader Chae do something again?

Information is transactional.

It’s a stand-alone give and take.

It wasn’t just out of pure kindness that they tried to give me the information first.

To maintain this chat room.

If you think they are not needed, they will drop out one by one, and then the quantity and quality of information will decrease.

Since I haven’t been appearing in the chatroom lately, you might be anxious that I might get left behind.

Of course, I don’t have a wide network yet, so I’d like to maintain a chatroom with construction company representatives.

But they don’t know my true feelings.

It is a construction company information room, so they must have thought it would be difficult if Taesung Construction was left out.

I’m the one who created this room.

If I leave, there’s a high chance that it’ll all just fizzle out.

The fact that they want to keep the room means that they also want to network with the construction company representatives.

I ended up having an affair unintentionally.

This way, even if there is someone who is hesitating whether or not to leave the room, they will not be able to leave.

This is where only the largest construction companies in Korea gather.

What if important information comes and goes after a long conversation?

I can’t get out even if it’s unfair.

It’s like they’re each other’s chains.

It was a pretty good situation for me, as I needed at least one more source of information.

=There will be a big incident at Taesung Bio soon.

And I hate letting opportunities just float away.

Now was the perfect time to spread the word about Taesung Bio.

The strategy room is probably doing it themselves, but if there are multiple sources, it will spread quickly.

=Our vice president almost had an accident, so the head office stopped him.

Instead, he didn’t go into detail.

There is no need for that.

Because it becomes complicated to fit it in later when you train.

It was enough to just scratch the vice president’s reputation.

If the day comes when Taesung Bio is embroiled in a controversy over creative accounting, it won’t end with just a scratch.

This doesn’t just have the effect of slandering Chae Tae-ik.

It was also a way to prepare so that Taesung would be less shaken.

The controversy over creative accounting is unavoidable.

If it can’t be avoided, the aftermath must be minimized.

Normally, the arrows would be aimed at the chairman, but since the rumors were spread like this, all the arrows will be aimed at the vice chairman.

If the chairman makes a mistake, the entire group is shaken.

If it was the fault of the vice president who is still only the successor, it could be passed over as a mistake.

Taesung Bio will also be shaken for now, but it will soon get back on its feet.

Because I made it happen.

But it seems like it had quite a big impact on the construction company representatives.

-Big news! Big news!

-oh my god

-You’re blowing it up like this?

The response was more enthusiastic than I expected.

-Can you tell us that? No matter how quickly rumors spread, Team Leader Chae is from Taesung.

After the sentence full of concern was posted, the chat window became quiet.

It seemed like everyone was waiting for me to speak.

It’s a good thing it’s a text chat room where faces aren’t visible.

I was able to think comfortably.

What should I say?

I just said it in advance since everyone will know anyway?

No, that seems too light.

It’s like saying, “I’m an untrustworthy person.”

If I say it on purpose, they’ll think I have ulterior motives.

It’s not good to spread the word about sibling fights throughout the neighborhood.

Even if it was inevitable that the two would engage in an all-out war later, there was no need to give any hints about Taesung’s internal situation from now on.

In times like this, the best thing to do is to keep your words to yourself and be as quiet as possible.

=I just informed you a day or two in advance. The news about our vice president will spread within a few days. However, I cannot tell you what will happen at Taesung Bio. Please understand that.

There were two pieces of information I mentioned.

Something is going to happen at Taesung Bio soon and something about the vice president.

In the former case, it is not something that can be talked about now just because it is known anyway.

The latter is the information I need to spread now to shake up Chae Tae-ik.

The chat window became noisy again.

– Vice President Daehyun Construction is also here. I know Taesung only treats Mirae as his rival, but you should know that Daehyun is also keeping an eye on him.

-I told you so. You know what kind of person Team Leader Chae is.

-Now that you know, there’s nothing I can do. I’m sorry, but I feel like I have to tell you.

This gathering is neither a club nor a social gathering.

They were people who each prioritized their own company.

The fact that they told me in advance was the best consideration they could have given me.

-I overheard something really important. This doesn’t add up.

Information about the owner’s family is sensitive wherever it goes.

From their perspective, it must feel like they heard something great.

It’s the same even if it’s just a rumor that will spread in a day or two.

A lot can happen in a day or two.

That’s what information is.

Now, since I intentionally planted it, no matter how they move, it will go in the direction I want.

=It’s okay. We’re here to share information with each other. If anything happens later, just let me know right away. That’s all.

I sold the medicine as if I was doing a good deed.

I can’t see their expressions so I don’t know if this will work or not, but at least for the time being, we’ll be able to get information without worrying about the room exploding.

-We have to help each other and live.

-That’s right.

-I’ll contact you again if anything comes up.

People with a bit of common sense were banging their heads together.

It would be better if someone accidentally leaks information.

After that, we exchanged greetings and chatted.

Every now and then I open a new window to hear about industry trends.

This time it was a classmate’s room.

It was time to learn about Taesung Chemistry.

* * *

An employee of the materials team heard a strange rumor.

It came from a colleague who works at another company.

For him, who had been with the company for four years, the group chat room was nothing more than a group chat room that had been neglected for years.

Every so often, there would be random news about someone getting married or the CEO of a certain company changing, but recently even that has stopped.

After a very long time, an interesting story was posted in that group chat.

-I heard yesterday that there is a problem solver in Taesung Group.

-A problem solver? Was there something like that?

-Isn’t it more of a role than a title? I’ve never seen it before.

There is no company without accidents.

Accidents, big and small, are bound to happen in every company.

But they have all been resolved within the company.

The existence of a role called a problem solver implies that there is a department that only handles and deals with incidents, but I have never heard of such a thing.

-If an accident happens, the person who caused it should take care of it. Or the relevant department should do it. If an accident happens, you’re passing the buck to someone else? That’s irresponsible.

-If that were possible, I would work much more comfortably.

-Hey, then there will be more accidents. Since I won’t solve it anyway, there will be more people who will just do it and see, right?

Everyone was thinking in a strange direction.

That was understandable.

Because I’ve never seen or heard of the title ‘problem solver’ before.

Of course, it’s not like it didn’t exist at all.

There are about 40 large and small companies in Taesung.

If you include our partners, the number will easily exceed ten thousand.

When people get involved, accidents are bound to happen.

It makes no sense that there have been no accidents or incidents among so many companies.

Until now, this was something that was handled by each company’s executives or the relevant department.

-No, no! Not something so trivial! When a major accident that could determine the survival of the company occurs!

The person who first brought it up said it with an exclamation mark as if he was frustrated.

-What kind of accident is that?

Since it was a gathering of 4th year regular employees, it seemed like it didn’t sink in right away.

The same goes for the Taesung Construction Materials Team employees who are peering into the same room.

I have also had a few minor mistakes, such as making mistakes in ordering materials or missing documents.

If you make a mistake in ordering, your company could suffer huge losses and be left reeling.

But I never thought about having someone else do it for me.

They always figured it out and it was possible.

I also didn’t understand why a problem solver was needed.

-That… … Ha, this is driving me crazy. How should I say this?

The person who brought it up said that he was so frustrated that he thought he was going to die.

I wanted to explain something, but it was clear that I couldn’t go into detail due to internal company circumstances.

– Of course, we deal with accidents that occur within the company. But other than that, there are also disputes between affiliates or major problems that require the intervention of the executives.

I still didn’t have a concrete idea, but I thought I had a rough idea of ​​what he was talking about.

This refers to company-level issues such as management disputes, board fights, and mergers and acquisitions.

It also had nothing to do with those talking in the same room.

-Didn’t the strategy room, the executive team, or the executives do that? Is there really a need for a problem solver?

– Did you just create a new title for an existing role?

-Or maybe it was there without us knowing. In fact, we are far from that. Even if it was there, we wouldn’t know because we never met.

The employee who first reported the news intervened.

-This is my first time seeing it too.

-Huh? Did you really see it? Who is it? Is it someone from headquarters?

-Are you from the strategy room?

-Where are the executives?

-You must be an old man, right?

In an instant, the chat room was on fire.

-They say he’s the direct secretary to CEO Kwon Tae-ho, but his title is team leader.

-Huh? Team leader?

-The team leader acts as a problem solver between affiliates?

-What kind of team leader are you?

-There was that guy on the news, right? He’s the Taesung Construction TF team leader, a high school graduate.

The materials team members looked straight ahead with their mouths wide open.

A woman felt someone’s gaze and turned her head, and our eyes met.

Taesung Construction TF Team.

That team member was here a while ago and was chatting.

Checking to see if anything happened while you were away.

‘Oh, crazy. That was the team?’

Chae In-ha smiled without knowing what was going on.

The faces of the materials team members turned pale.
