How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

Jin In-gi, who was silent for a moment at my words, spoke.

“Does it really need to be so complicated?”

“Yes. I don’t like complicated equity relationships.”

“Is it because of the stake ratio?”

Jin In-ki said, “Isn’t he trying himself to increase the stake in the joint venture factory?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I don’t lie to you. With the exception of taking out loans, everything works only with own capital. You can think of it as an extension of that.”

Then Jin In-gi said with an absurd expression.

“It is natural that equity relationships become more complex as the company grows. Shouldn’t Seron also go public someday?”

“Seron is not going to go public?”

“yes?”

it’s crazy?

It’s obvious that the shareholders will go crazy over the CEO stealing money, right?

“Huh…”

“Anyway, just as Yurim has no idea of being an OEM, I hate joint factories. So you just do it like this? It’s not like customers come into the factory and buy things while checking the contracts between Saeron and Yurim.”

If the same fish is caught in Korea, it is Korean, and if it is caught in China, it is Chinese.

So no matter what the process is in the middle, it doesn’t just have to look like Yurim’s own production.

Then Jin In-gi, who was silent for a while, spoke.

“I understand what you mean. But for that, you need a solid guarantee.”

“A guarantee?”

“Isn’t this literally a form where Saeron signs a contract with Yurim and is hired for a certain period of time? What if Saeron refuses to extend the contract in the middle? We, Yurim Electronics, have to endure enormous losses.”

Ahh.

That’s why you pushed for more joint ventures.

but.

At best, I invested money to build a factory in Korea, but if the public money is missing, Yurim’s factory is like floating in the air.

“It will be specified in the contract. As long as Yurim does not do anything harmful to Saeron, Saeron automatically extends the contract.”

“…mmm.”

It’s not enough to call it a guarantee, right?

However, since further concessions are impossible, it would be a waste of time to explain further.

“I will say one more thing and I will close. There has never been a precedent for Seron Shoes to cancel a contract with a customer first. Of course, when the customer company somehow increased their business with Ceron shoes, they increased it, but never decreased it. This is the end of the story.”

If you refuse this, there is nothing you can do about it.

At my words, Jin In-gi looked at me and said.

“This is the last concession Seron can make.”

It’s nice to have a quick conversation with a smart person.

“Exactly.”

Then Jin In-gi, who had been thinking for a while, spoke.

“great. If that’s the case, I think it’s worth having a serious talk about.”

okay.

very good.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice if the deal was done?’

Collaboration factory with a company with guaranteed sales and sales.

In other words, profits are generated as soon as the factory is completed.

‘Shall we increase the number of partners?’

Yurim Electronics was the first contact, but there are many companies that covet skeleton labor.

It is said that if such companies attract overseas factories to Korea, the size of Seron can grow in an instant.

‘okay. You don’t have to go back to the hard way after leaving the easy way.’

The goal has been set.

Then, you have to put the first button on well so that the next button goes smoothly.

I’m going to make sure I’m going to have a good time from the bottom.

“I wonder if people will make a fuss over this, claiming that they will lose their jobs.”

“No way, it’s a factory that didn’t exist in Korea in the first place.”

“Still, if someone just blows the wind, ordinary people won’t just go over it. Wouldn’t it be anxious even if only Yurim Electronics employees in Korea right now? They wondered if all of their factory jobs would be transferred to the new factory contracted with Seron.”

Foreign workers are filling jobs that Koreans are reluctant to do, but people are making a fuss about losing even those jobs.

Jobs are sensitive issues directly related to livelihoods.

“…Coming to think of it, that might be the case.”

“It’s not possible, but it definitely will be.”

As in the time of the Shoe Association, we have to nail it in advance before people make a fuss.

It is necessary to emphasize that Seron pursues coexistence, and that it is absolutely not taking away jobs from existing people, but only bringing back factories that have been leaked abroad.

Isn’t the United States also trying hard to bring back factories that went abroad by cutting corporate taxes?

I’m emphasizing that Seron did it.

“Chief, then let’s do this. First of all, I met with the Korean factory labor union of Yurim Electronics…”

*

Jin In-gi and I shake hands, and the invited reporters take pictures.

This was written on the banner hanging above Jin Ingi and me.

Seron, Yurim Electronics Agreement Ceremony.

As soon as the picture was taken, the head of the Korean factory of Yurim Electronics came up to me.

The head of the union shook hands with me and said,

“thank you.”

“Have you checked the contract?”

At my words, the head of the union nodded and said.

“We confirmed the contents of the contract guaranteeing the amount and model of the Korean factory. This is thanks to CEO Han’s active involvement.”

After finishing the conversation with Jin In-ki, I met with the head of the association through Jin In-gi’s introduction and told him about the collaboration contract between Saeron and Yurim.

As expected, the head of the union was perplexed and worried about the outflow of goods from the Korean factory or the loss of a job.

I reassured them that there would be no changes to the Korean plant, and that if the new plant grew larger, more staff might be needed to assist the skeletons.

In addition to that, I persuaded Jin In-gi to include a guarantee for the amount and model of Korean factories in the contract.

Thanks to this, the union, company, and partners have all been able to paint a picture like today, where everyone is smiling brightly.

“Because I always seek win-win.”

I looked at the reporters and said.

“Everyone misunderstands it, but even a skeleton is not omnipotent, so human assistance is absolutely necessary. In other words, it can be said that it is an intermediate role between automation equipment and workers. Anyway, if overseas factories come to Korea like this, the Korean economy will be more active, and you can enjoy the effect of two benefits: skeleton management and office jobs are also increasing. At the same time, we guarantee existing jobs for Korean workers through thorough contracts.”

Is this enough?

Skeletons are so harmless.

There are investment effects and job effects.

Anyway, I think the picture came out quite pretty at this point… Shall we start a business soon?

“Therefore, I am confident that this will be a big step in the development of the Korean economy. Overseas! It is to make the capital that was leaked back to Korea!”

I continue to explain with an extreme emphasis on overseas.

I cried out.

“Seron will continue overseas! We will do our best so that factories can return to Korea and contribute to economic development!”

So, companies with overseas factories?

please contact me soon

Let’s make some money together.

*

Reporters who focused only on the positive points, excluding the negative ones, such as the investment effect and job creation resulting from the return of Yurim Electronics’ Chinese factory to Korea, and securing competitiveness by reducing production costs, etc.

Of course, this was possible because all of these reporters were reporters who had been drugged by Yurim Electronics from the beginning.

Anyway, as soon as the agreement ceremony with Yurim Electronics was successfully completed and the article was published, companies that were paying attention began to contact me one by one.

What these companies have in common is that they all had production plants in China like Yurim Electronics, but they were preparing to relocate to Southeast Asia due to China’s growing labor cost burden.

Of course, all of these companies are companies that you can eat without any harm, like Yurim Electronics, but that doesn’t mean you can’t eat everything.

I said while looking at the list Kim Deok-bae handed me.

“Annual sales of 4.6 billion. It passes.”

4.6 billion is too little.

They say that if you accept all of those small and medium-sized businesses, you have to spread skeletons all over the place and go back and forth to manage them all over the place, but no matter how many programmers you have, that is too inefficient.

Therefore, selecting and receiving only proven companies is a much more stable and convenient choice in terms of efficiency and cost.

“Then see you. A coffee machine?”

It’s a company that only makes coffee machines, but it’s quite large and well-recognized in Korea.

Not bad.

When it comes to favorite foods like coffee, even if people choose a machine, the brand is pretty much taken into consideration.

What are the chances of SR buying a coffee machine license and growing it into a global brand?

To be honest, it’s safe to say that there are very few of them.

The perfect company to fill the gap in SR electronics.

“This is okay.”

After roughly organizing the candidates, I handed the list to Kim Deok-bae and said,

“Find a meeting and talk with the companies you checked here. ah. And companies that have not been consulted with the union are unconditionally passed. do you remember Youngjin Tech.”

One of the companies contacted after the agreement ceremony with Yurim Electronics was a company that makes automated machines.

Sales were similar to Yurim Electronics, and the fact that the factories were divided into Korea and China was the same, so I liked it.

So, I ended the conversation with the representative and went to the brink of signing the contract, but the union problem broke out there.

The Yurim Electronics union was still relatively cooperative, so it went beyond what was specified in the contract, but the Youngjin Tech union didn’t even get a word out of it.

A union that shouted desperately against it, saying that if the skeleton factory was built, it would take away not only Chinese factories but also Korean factories.

When I saw that, I canceled all my plans.

“If we make a mistake, it’s obvious that we’ll get involved and become a nuisance, right? So, you shouldn’t leave anything like that to happen.”

Deokbae Kim nodded and said.

“I understand what you mean.”

“great.”

“By the way, CEO, I got an offer from another company…”

“Today, finish with this, and tomorrow, when you report it, please gather it all at once.”

“No, because this is not a Korean company. How do you deal with these companies?”

“Isn’t it a Korean company?”

“It is an American company. Our main focus is manufacturing monitors.”

hey

Now, even overseas companies?

“How are the sales?”

“All other conditions, such as sales, are met.”

I thought about it for a while and said.

“call. Let’s meet overseas companies if they meet the conditions.”

My goal is to bring overseas factories to Korea and make money without job problems.

So, it is not necessary to limit the subject to Korea.

Rather, if foreign companies are brought into Korea, a cleaner transaction is possible.

There will be no conflict with the Korean union like Youngjin Tech, and above all, isn’t it good to bet on a title?

SR Electronics attracts foreign corporate investment.

kya

how nice to hear

Just hearing the word overseas investment makes you feel like it will be of great help to the economy, right?

“All right.”

I said with a smirk.

“ruler. Let’s keep going.”

*

Starting with Yurim Electronics, there are only about 10 companies that have signed contracts and held agreement ceremonies among overseas factories that have received proposals.

Since each and every one of them has its own reputation and scale, whether in Korea or abroad, the sales of the contracted factories alone exceeded 800 billion won a year.

Of course, because Seron is a facility management company, Seron’s share of the 800 billion sales is not very large, but most of its sales are net profits.

It’s a good facility manager, in fact, it’s like lending a skeleton to the partners for a salary.

Thanks to this, it is expected that only these 10 companies will be able to earn management expenses disguised as labor costs close to tens of billions a year.

This alone is a significant benefit, and in addition, the atmosphere in Korea is good due to the U-turn of Korean companies and the attraction of foreign investment.

I read the contents of the agreement between SR Electronics and an electronics company written in the newspaper.

“In a short period of time, we signed an agreement with 10 medium-sized companies and confirmed the invitation to Korea, and the direct and indirect economic effects are estimated to reach at least trillions of won….”

I said with a smirk.

“Isn’t this what we asked for?”

“no.”

It is said that the reporter wrote the article on his own without our influence.

“but. News of attracting foreign investment like this doesn’t happen often.”

The economic effect of trillions of won is not without exaggeration, considering the increase in tax revenue generated from corporate tax in addition to the purchase of factory land and facility investment, as well as the job effect for managers, but it is true that it is a big achievement.

In addition, foreign companies’ direct investment in Korea and the return of overseas factories to Korea have been almost at the level of drought since Korea entered the economic maturity and high wages era, so it is worthy of a reporter to write an article like this.

“By the way, CEO, it seems that there are some dissatisfied voices coming out from the electronics industry.”

“Complaints?”

“That’s why it is said that companies with factories only in Korea are subject to reverse discrimination…”

It is true that the Korean electronics industry was completely destroyed, but that did not mean that there were no companies that directly produced domestic products.

Companies that make camping electronic products, or companies that have so-called brands that still survive by making good use of their specialties, such as making window air conditioners like Yurim Electronics.

Some of those companies really only have factories in Korea.

So it’s even more absurd.

“No, I just want you to be considerate like this, how much more do you want me to do?”

What these companies have in common is that they are competitive enough even with a very high price compared to Chinese products by raising their brand value.

Isn’t Yurim Electronics selling off window air conditioners that are twice as expensive as those made in China just because they are domestically produced?

In other words, the sales position itself is completely different from the factories I am currently attracting.

“It’s ridiculous. Just ignore it.”

I’m really doing my best not to be criticized, such as choosing a dying industry and bringing in and attracting overseas factories without any problems, but it’s a mess with everything.

“I just announce that I will never accept collaboration with Korean factories because it can cause job problems for domestic workers.”

At this opportunity, we should never neglect the damage to Korean jobs.

“All right. ah! Also, partners are looking for a factory site, and they say they will listen to our opinions on a good location.”

“Our opinion?”

but.

It would be easier to run the factory if you were as close to Seron as possible.

“You know roughly around here… huh? wait for a sec.”

The investment scale of 10 partners is significant enough to be published in the article.

To the extent that local governments, frantic about attracting new investment, rush at it with foam at the mouth even after the announcement of the selection of the investment area is made.

Just as I actively use the title of attracting foreign investment, local governments and heads of local governments will be able to use this investment as their achievements.

But now you’re saying that I can actually control this.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Look at this.”

Then, wouldn’t it be possible to negotiate with local governments using this as an excuse to obtain concessions?

Or, going further, suffocating all partner companies in a region and making the local economy dependent on public opinion is one way.

“There is no reason not to become like Pohang or Ulsan.”

Just as Korea’s No. 1 steel mill comes to mind when you think of Pohang and heavy industry comes to mind when you think of Ulsan, the influence you gain from becoming a representative company in the region is enormous.

Rumors are circulating that politicians from those two cities are being filmed by that company right now.

Is there anything you can’t do because it’s a seron?

In the future, the number of partners will increase infinitely.

“okay. If you’re going to do it, make sure you do it.”

No matter how much I pay attention to people and pretend to be a good company and develop a reputation, in the end, if I get bigger, there will be enemies.

At that time, the fact that there is an area that absolutely relies on Seron is a great weapon that Seron can have.

Should I leave the room if I have to, because all the local residents will stand up with a threat.

“good. I’m going crazy.”

If public opinion is omitted, it makes the local economy dependent enough to paralyze.

Now that the decision has been made, it’s time to decide where to go.

“Where would be good…”

In my head, I started to think of moderately sized cities in Korea.

“A city of scale. At the same time, a city without local representative companies.”

It is to lead partners to a city that has no representative companies to stand for, and enter it while receiving cheers from the people like a general in improvement.

“It would be nice if it was close to the port.”

Ports play an absolute role in attracting foreign companies as well as exports.

A city popped into my mind after thinking about it for a long time.

“oh!”

It is literally the best city that fits all the conditions I think.

As the large companies in which they moved in went bankrupt one after another, a large number of jobless people occurred and it was selected as an employment crisis area. As a result, it is a city in Muju Gongsan where even the commercial district is collapsing, and at the same time, it is a city with a port right next to it.

I smiled brightly and said to Deokbae Kim.

“Chief Kim, please prepare some tea. Let’s go to Gunsan.”

That city was Gunsan.
