chapter 28
The general meeting of the Footwear Association held at the formal request of Deokbae Kim.
Naturally, the first item on the agenda was the formal impeachment of the president of the association.
Deokbae Kim looked at the association members and said.
“Are you in favor of the impeachment of the president of the association Yoo Yong-oh?”
Then, all association members raise their hands without hesitation.
Since Kim Deok-bae is practically my agent, Kim Deok-bae’s words were also my will, so there is no way any association member would go against my will.
“sh*t······.”
Yu-oh Yoo, who was impeached at a formal general meeting.
Since all trends had already turned this way, it was no different from the expected result.
“Then, the impeachment of Yu-Oh Yoo, the president of the association, has officially been passed. As of today, former president Yoo Yoo-oh will be demoted to general association member.”
Yu-oh Yoo, who was demoted to a member of the association according to the by-laws.
Of course, after everything was sorted out, I was thinking of wiping out the documents inside the association to find out the corruption and then weave it out.
Even right now, you can get them to leave if they behave badly, but there is a difference between having a justification and not having a cause.
At that time, Deokbae Kim continued to talk about the next agenda item.
“The next agenda is about membership qualifications. We are the Korea Footwear Association. And CEO Han Ji-hyeok signed up and started a true win-win move. However, I wondered if a company with only its head office in Korea and factories overseas was actually a Korean company.”
The association members who understood what Kim Deok-bae said began to whisper.
“Are you talking about Mankyung Corporation and the other two companies?”
“Are there any other companies besides those three?”
Deokbae Kim looked at the members of the association and said,
“So we formally raise the agenda. The membership of the association is limited only to companies with production plants in Korea.”
In effect, Deok-bae Kim’s words to drop the three companies.
Then, when impeaching the president of the association, the members of the association, who had been unstoppable, begin to hesitate.
“The amount I subcontract from Mangyeong is quite large…”
“me too.”
In their own way, the three companies have dominated the association by playing the role of big brothers in the Korean shoe industry.
Moreover, even though they have factories overseas now, they also started in Korea, so the networking and transactions they have built up over the years will not be negligible from the perspective of the association members.
That is, unless the opponent is Seron.
I was sitting in my seat without saying anything, and I quietly threw out a word.
“You are free to choose, but the outcome is yours. You’re all grown up, so you understand what I’m talking about, right?”
Once again, I remind you that Deokbae Kim’s agenda is my will.
now i have to choose
It’s not that I deliberately gave time and showed the taste of the domestic market.
Thanks to Seron, the members of the Association are rapidly eating up the pie that was taken away due to price competitiveness.
Will you be satisfied with the beans provided by the three companies, or will you join hands with Seron to aggressively expand the company?
Of course, the answer has already been decided.
Then Yoo Yu-oh raised his hand and said.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“do.”
“What happens if a company with a factory overseas moves its factory to Korea?”
Ohh.
Even in the midst of impeachment, Yoo Yong-oh tries to fulfill his role as a wind-catcher until the end.
Do you think there is a lot of getting back?
anyway.
“Then, membership in the association is sufficient. However, if that happens, other members of the association will be very uncomfortable.”
I said with a smirk.
“Seron only makes products for the domestic market, so it’s like having a strong competitor to eat the pie together.”
Then, the association members began to talk with firm expressions.
“Are the three major companies also entering the Korean domestic market?”
“…That’s not true, the level of financial power is different.”
It’s a situation where we hit a wall and ask each other to share, but no one welcomes three beasts of different weight classes entering this wall.
Then Yoo Yu-oh said with a puzzled expression.
“That, that’s not it, I was just giving an example! Example!”
Since the atmosphere is unfavorable, it seems that he asked Yoo Yoo-oh a question with the intention of maintaining his membership in the association somehow, but it is rather counterproductive.
Looking at Deok-bae Kim, Deok-bae Kim nodded and looked at the members of the association and said,
“Then, let’s start voting on this agenda. If you agree, please raise your hand.”
Man is a selfish animal and cannot tolerate any harm to his interests.
Members of the association, who were hesitant because they received something from the three companies, raised their hands without hesitation when they heard that the three companies might enter Korea.
Chansung passed the majority in an instant.
“Then, this agenda has also been formally passed. Association members who do not qualify for membership will be automatically withdrawn.”
Now, three companies have been knocked out, and the association has completely fallen into my hands.
Shall we do a final check kill?
I got up and said.
“Chief Kim.”
“yes?”
“I think it’s almost finished, but let’s take care of one more last item.”
“The last thing on the agenda?”
“The position of the president of the association is vacant, so shouldn’t it be filled?”
I said as I walked to Yu-Oh.
“I recommend CEO Deok-bae Kim as the president of the association… Ah. Come to think of it, did you say that only those who have joined the Bylaws for more than three years can raise agendas?”
I looked at the association members with a calm expression and said.
“Who will raise the agenda for me?”
Then, the members of the association competitively raised their hands and said.
“Oh Jin-gi, that banal shoe! We propose the election of Deok-bae Kim as the president of the association!”
“Me too!”
I waved my hand and said.
“Then let’s quickly vote and wrap it up, right? You don’t have to drag it out for a long time, do you?”
While Kim Deok-bae, who had not been told in advance at my words, spoke up, the agenda was raised in an instant, and even the vote began.
While they were voting, he approached Yoo Yu-oh and said.
“Yoo Yong-oh.”
“···yes.”
“Who made it?”
Then Yoo Yu-oh was perplexed and said.
“What do you mean? You want me to?”
“Would you like to pretend?”
I glanced at the executives of the three companies next to me and said.
“Aren’t those noblemen over there?”
Yoo Yu-oh, who made eye contact with the executives, said.
“Oh, no. Absolutely not!”
“If I’m being honest, maybe they’ll see it, right?”
Then, Yu-oh Yoo looked sideways at the executives with a puzzled expression.
Anyway, I’m really bad at acting.
Then one of the executives came up to me and said.
“This is Kim, managing director of Mankyung Industrial Co., Ltd.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Representative Han, it seems that there was some misunderstanding between us. Let’s go out and talk for a while…”
I waved my hands and said.
“What are you talking about, I said everything I was going to say the other day. The only thing Seron can yield is the domestic market. But isn’t that it? ah. Still, this could be possible.”
I said with a smile.
“Isn’t our Seron’s only weakness in the field of new materials? That’s why I haven’t been able to do business with top makers yet. By the way, those three companies are receiving orders from top manufacturers, right? Then, it would have been possible to mutually assist each other by subcontracting or collaborating with us.”
Instead of the three companies supplying new materials or new material technologies, the top-tier manufacturers are subcontracted by subcontractors.
In this way, it would literally be mutual aid.
Then, the pupils of the executives of the three companies shake.
Because there seems to be a possibility.
“But, in fact, new materials are ultimately fabrics, but if you have to, you can contact the top manufacturers and jointly develop something completely new, so I wonder if you really need help… In that sense, the first company to be honest with is something I might seriously consider?”
The one who speaks first may look at it.
Then, the executive of Taeheung Mulsan, who was silent, spoke.
“Me, CEO Han? For a moment, just the two of us talking closely…”
Then, managing director Kim of Mankyung Industrial Co., Ltd. said in astonishment.
“What are you doing!? Certainly… kuh!”
It was vague because it was in front of me, but I got a rough feeling.
It happened with Man-kyung leading the way and the other two companies collaborating.
I shrugged and said.
“Please send me a separate email later. What a great secret story.”
I talked about subcontracting with the new material, but that was just a word I said to shake them up and find out the inside story.
Anyway, right now, Seron is said to be saturated every time with only domestic sales and mid-sized manufacturers.
In other words, there is still no eagerness for the top-level maker’s quantity.
You must have roughly understood the inside story, go back quietly and wash your hands.
The top makers will naturally become ours when Seron grows.
At that time, a member of the association shouted.
“With this, Deokbae Kim, president of the association, has been finally elected! Applause for the new president!”
Clap clap clap clap!
Just in time, Deok-bae Kim was elected as the president of the association, and the association they controlled became completely mine.
The three companies were also kicked out, and the association was also taken over, eating the domestic market.
Are you perfect?
I said with a grin.
“Anyway, go back and think about it carefully before contacting me. Don’t think nonsense. You know I’m a Class A Awakener, right? I’m the type of person who unexpectedly changes suddenly, so please be careful.”
*
I completely took over the Korea Footwear Association by raising Kim Deok-bae as the president of the association.
I kept my employment and all the shoe factories are on my side, so now no one will object to me in that shoe industry.
Deokbae Kim said with a troubled expression.
“Give me some words.”
“Anyway, there’s no one I can trust other than President Kim, right?”
“Even if you don’t, you are busy with company work, so how do you work as the president of the association?”
“I just choose one vice president and leave all the work to him. Who can say what?”
At that, Deokbae Kim smiled and said.
“All right. By the way, since I won the association anyway, I’m thinking of doing some media play.”
“A press play?”
“Isn’t it noisy when the mutt you kicked out of the house barks? That is why we inform the media of this association in advance. Co-prosperity and revival of the awakening and dying industries. It’s a good topic to write about.”
When the meaningless rice cake of cooperation with subcontractors was thrown, the three companies continued to keep in touch, expressing how unfair they felt.
Even in the middle of the plan, there is a possibility, so the 3 companies are trying to do something.
While we are caught up in rice cakes and wandering around, the association will become more solid if we put an end to future controversies by making a kind of beautiful story through media play.
“It’s good. Do by that way.”
Seeing things like this, Kim Deok-bae’s head starts rolling surprisingly quickly.
“All right.”
“ruler. Then, this is enough to control the house…”
Whether the three companies make a fuss or not is already meaningless.
Then you should clean it out of your head and think about expanding your business.
I said with a smile.
“ruler. Let’s work hard to earn one.”
*
Business is really cruising to the point where I wonder if it can go well like this.
If you increase the skeleton, it becomes saturated soon, and if you increase it again, it becomes saturated again.
So, if you add up all the skeletons currently working in all the factories that Seron has, it has reached 5,000.
Thanks to this, my income has soared several times, and if I add the carrier type and the messenger business, my monthly net profit is approaching 20 billion won.
However, as long as there was a secondary goal of rebuilding the Undead Corps, they couldn’t be satisfied with this level.
“Where’s the money?”
Macro, thanks to Kim Han-ul, the battle data is piled up one by one, so I need to focus on collecting money as quickly as possible.
“hmm.”
Other than light industries like shoes and clothes, are there any businesses you can do that won’t make people hate you?
“farming? no. All of them are small farmers, so when will you grow your business by receiving a small amount?”
I don’t know if there are many corporate farms like in other countries, but since everyone in Korea is farming as an individual, it’s not easy to put in a large amount of skeletons at the same time.
“The construction industry will make money…”
Honestly, the easiest way to make money with skeletons is in the construction industry.
Of course, due to the nature of the messy construction site, I have to put a lot of effort into making the algorithm, but it’s still overwhelmingly more comfortable than the battlefield environment, which is the king of variables.
Anyway, it is true that once a position is established, labor costs are high and net profit is high, so it is true that it is the most coveted market…
I licked my lips and said.
“The ratio of foreign workers is high, but there are still many Korean workers.”
That many construction workers can’t stand still.
Of course, construction companies are going to f*ck up too.
this later
It was a plan B type of business that I had to do when I decided that I couldn’t stop my undead army if I didn’t do this later.
“Anything good? Like the shoes that were rejected in Korea like this one.”
Shall we try a search?
I searched for the Korean decline industry with a computer.
“Let’s see… textiles, shoes.”
Roughly, this is in line with the business I am doing now.
Textile sewing industry such as clothes and shoes.
Products that require a lot of human hands, so the proportion of labor costs is absolutely high.
Among them are other things like soccer balls… but I don’t really like them.
Honestly, how much money can I make by selling soccer balls?
As I looked through the list of declining industries in Korea, I saw an industry I hadn’t expected at all and said wide-eyed.
“uh? Is this a dying industry?”
It’s an electronic product.
I said with a puzzled expression.
“Isn’t our country a powerhouse in electronics?”
*
It was true that Korea is a powerhouse in electronic products to the extent that the electronics side is strong, starting with Korea’s No. 1 conglomerate.
However, electronic products as a declining industry on the Internet are a little different.
“That’s right. Come to think of it, everything is made in China.”
Large home appliances such as TVs and refrigerators and expensive electronic products such as computers are clearly strong in Korea.
know it worldwide.
However, electronic products as a declining industry as mentioned on the Internet meant everything else except for such high value-added electronic products.
Everything that runs on electricity is an electronic product, even a low-cost vacuum cleaner, much less a toy that runs on batteries.
And these electronic products are at a level where there is nothing that is not made in China.
Even the chargers included with mobile phones released by the No. 1 conglomerate are made in China or Southeast Asia, so what can I say?
Of course, the chargers of large companies are made in their factories in China, but anyway.
“Hey…”
Are you playing this?
Toys, razors, blenders, etc. Even if you only thought about it for a moment, the variety of products is endless.
And what people look at when buying these lifestyle electronic products is, of course, the price.
Performance is one of the most important considerations when buying a multimillion-won TV, but with household appliances that cost tens of thousands of won, everything is decided only by the price.
After all, no one expects great quality from cheap electronics anyway.
And the key to this price is the labor cost.
Although less than shoes, this is also a low value-added product, and human labor is absolutely required for assembly and production.
The fact that Chinese electronic products are scattered everywhere is proof of this.
“Are you okay?”
The Korean small appliance market has been wiped out except for a few companies whose brand value has been recognized.
This is the perfect breeding industry I was looking for.
I said with my eyes shining.
“Electronics, let’s go with this.”
