How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

chapter 38



Since it is a rental car with a structure similar to that of a transportable skeleton, I entrusted this task to Director Kang Chan-soo, and the choice was excellent.

As it turned out, Kang Chan-soo knew quite well about this job, as he worked as a porter and ran away when there was not enough work.

Kang Chan-soo, who leads the rental of Seron smoothly, based on the know-how and experience gained from managing transportable skeletons scattered across the country.

“CEO, Jangwoon Construction needs a skeleton for an apartment construction site in Seoul.”

At Kang Chan-soo’s words, I raised my thumb and said,

“nice. If Jangwoon Construction came out, it’s over.”

When it comes to Jangwoon Construction, it is an affiliate of a conglomerate that ranks 8th in the subcontracting ranking.

Even such large corporations want construction skeletons without hesitation, so it is only a matter of time before they settle down in the market.

This was possible because the construction industry is more sensitive to labor costs than light industry or electronic products, and I took a position at a human resources office rather than a construction company position.

If I had jumped into the construction industry myself, Jangwoon Construction would have seen us as just a competitor rather than a partner.

Kang Chan-soo also said, unable to hide his laughter, as if he was excited.

“Furthermore, it is important that Jangun Construction has contacted us directly.”

“ah! right. Illegal subcontracting.”

According to what I heard from the representative of a mid-sized construction company, illegal subcontracting of subcontracting to subcontracting is frequent in the construction industry in order to avoid responsibility and reduce construction costs.

In fact, large construction companies only take orders and manage the business, and all the real construction workers are hired by subcontractors.

But what do you mean that such a large construction company, Jangwoon Construction, contacted us directly?

Since it is a skeleton with guaranteed safety and can significantly reduce labor costs, it means that there is no reason to do illegal subcontracting.

“I have enough skeletons, so please send them.”

“All right. ah. however······.”

Kang Chan-soo said with an awkward expression.

“Sufficient skeletons, but insufficient manpower.”

“yes?”

“Since one skeleton consists of as few as one to as many as three people, a lot of manpower is required, but all the existing staff have been dispatched, so the people who are now are still inexperienced in piloting.”

Since the skeleton for construction is not directly seen and operated with both eyes, when an unskilled person operates it, mistakes are common due to the lack of perspective and lack of hand feel unique to the camera.

For example, you have to lift the bottom of a cement bag, but accidentally poke the side of the cement bag or lift it up in the air.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, if the skeleton’s hand feels a certain level of repulsive force, an algorithm was created to prevent further force from being damaged, but there was no case where the materials were damaged, but they work for money, so it’s not possible to just send them out in such a clumsy state.

So, it took a considerable amount of time to train the first rental workers to become proficient in piloting.

Still, they were trained well and dispatched to the construction site, but the demand for construction skeletons increased so rapidly that skilled workers were quickly running out.

I said with a puzzled expression.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever run out of manpower while doing business.”

“I mean.”

“I can’t help it.”

I said while looking at a map with construction sites dispatched across the country.

“There are only skilled workers here at the Daejeon construction site, right?”

“yes.”

“Employees here, mix half and half with new recruits and send them to Seoul and Daejeon.”

Since there is not enough personnel right now, we are putting in a mix of new recruits and skilled workers.

“I’ll give existing employees extra pay, so when I have time, I ask them to train new employees.”

“All right. I will handle it that way.”

This may be a temporary solution, but it is not a fundamental solution.

As Seron Rental grows, this shortage of skilled workers will intensify.

“I think we need an educational institution.”

It is too inefficient to accept new recruits and make mistakes in the field to learn the job.

If so, the best course of action was to create an educational institution for new employees who handle skeletons, and send them out to the field after completing the minimum training.

Kang Chan-soo, who heard me at that time, spoke.

“An educational institution? Are you talking about something like a training center for new recruits?”

A new training institute responsible for basic training for new employees.

But something oddly doesn’t like it.

“If it’s a new trainee, it’s an organization that hires and then teaches, right?”

“I know that.”

“hmm.”

Seron, which has been carried out in the way of pre-recruitment and post-recruitment from the beginning.

However, as a result, there were many cases where the differences in individual abilities widened too much.

Baek Sang-ho, for example, has tremendous control skills and is at the level of being able to take on two or three people by himself.

On the other hand, in the case of some employees, there are many times when they can’t even serve 0.5 people, let alone one person.

The reason this happened was simple.

Unlike general companies that verify the ability of employees through exams or certifications, there is no way to check the skills required by the company until they work.

So, in the meantime, I’ve looked at resumes and picked out if there was a special talent like Baek Sang-ho, but this one has very poor discrimination.

I thought about it for a while and said.

“Let’s go to the training center instead of the training center for new recruits.”

If so, the most advantageous thing for Seron right now is to recruit after pre-education.

“A training center?”

“It’s kind of like an academy. Upon completion of the course, 100% job security is guaranteed. Instead, discharge if the completion standard is not met. How is it?”

You get it by going through the education center to find out the boulders.

Unconditional job guarantee upon completion of the course, but instead, if the standard is not met, it is just a bye-bye.

Do you think the unemployed will flood in like a wave?

It kills two birds with one stone as it solves the problem of training new employees and increases the ability to discriminate against employees.

It is the manager’s mind to want to hire people who are good at work.

“It seems like a good way. By the way, do you also receive education expenses?”

“I don’t get it. Ugh, to listen to something after receiving a few pennies of money. If I get discharged from the hospital, I will make a fuss about not getting a job after receiving 100% of my education expenses.”

If it’s a foreign language academy, even if you don’t get the results you want, isn’t there something left over?

However, if you are discharged from the training center created by Seron for failing to meet the standard, there is no place to use the learned skeleton control method.

Of course, if you had paid the education fee in that situation, you would feel unfair as you thought about your money.

“Since we’re making it to hire the people we need anyway, let’s just charge for the materials needed for practice. how is it?”

Then Kang Chan-soo nodded and said.

“It seems fine. I agree.”

yes?

“okay. Then proceed right away. Then who should be the instructors?”

While thinking about it for a while, the name of one person passed through my mind.

Naturally, it was Baek Sang-ho, the first programmer of Seron and the most talented.

“Please call Team Leader Baek.”

*

“hmm······.”

After rising to the position of team leader and being treated as the oldest, he could now hand over most of the field work to his juniors, but Baek Sang-ho, who naturally liked to touch and manipulate things, was still concentrating on manipulating the skeleton on the front line.

Of course, a little bit of personal taste was reflected.

Baek Sang-ho, who was manipulating the skeleton in standby mode because of no work, pressed the run button, and suddenly the skeleton stepped on the step, put its head on the ground, and began to spin its head.

“Oh oh!”

“As expected, Team Leader Baek!”

The programmers admired Baek Sang-ho’s control skills, but Baek Sang-ho was just plain bored.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Baek Sang-ho is given only one console, which he and Han Ji-hyeok have been continuously upgrading.

The problem was that this console’s functions were limited, and it was far from realizing all of Baek Sang-ho’s limitless imagination.

Others admire Baek Sang-ho’s results, but they couldn’t be more satisfied because Baek Sang-ho had seen all kinds of strange skeletons being made at the same time with Han Ji-hyeok’s gestures.

“ha. Is there any way?”

After thinking about it for a long time, I heard the voice of a junior.

“Chief Baek! The representative is looking for you! I want you to come to the headquarters.”

“Are you the representative?”

Baek Sang-ho, who ended his unemployed life, is now recognized for his career and is receiving a high salary.

To Baek Sang-ho, Seron was everything.

The know-how and skills Baek Sang-ho has accumulated so far become nothing the moment he gets out of public opinion.

As such, the CEO who gave him this opportunity was more than a benefactor to Baek Sang-ho.

“okay. I’ll leave right away.”

*

Baek Sang-ho entered the representative office of the head office located in Gunsan City.

“Chief Baek, please sit over here.”

“Yes, sir.”

As we sat down on the sofa, Han Ji-hyeok looked at Baek Sang-ho and said,

“Are there any problems at work?”

“doesn’t exist. Now there are more programmers, and all is well.”

“is it so? What about the newcomers?”

Then Baek Sang-ho thought of the newcomers who had recently joined and hesitated.

“Uh… that’s… I’m working hard.”

“You have to work hard, are you good at your work?”

“To be honest, it is true that it is clumsy.”

“Yes? So I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m thinking about setting up an education center.”

“A training center?”

“We open a programmer class and a rental class to provide training. If you complete your course like that, I guarantee you a job for Saeron.”

Then Baek Sang-ho recalled the past, where he had completed programming academy but suffered a series of hardships while getting a job at an IT conglomerate.

“Are you guaranteed a job?”

“Of course, if you do not meet the graduation standard, you will be discharged. What do you think? Will it work?”

“Unconditionally, it will be fine, unconditionally.”

Seron’s salary was quite high thanks to the huge reduction in labor costs thanks to the skeleton.

That’s why people flock to it even if you just post a job posting, but it’s an education center that guarantees you a job once you complete the course.

“Perhaps people will flock to it even if they receive a million won instead of hundreds of thousands of won for education.”

“no way. don’t take it, don’t take it How much money do you have to make with this? Anyway, are you okay?”

Han Ji-hyeok said with his eyes shining.

“So, can’t Team Leader Baek take over the training center?”

“yes?”

Baek Sang-ho said with a puzzled expression.

“I mean the training center?”

“yes. Isn’t Team Leader Baek the most capable person in Seron right now?”

Then Baek Sang-ho, who always pretended to die at Han Ji-hyeok’s words, said with hesitation for the first time.

“For me, handling skeletons in the field suits me better…”

“I am not saying that you should only stay at the Young Young Education Center. I am talking about creating a system so that you can properly organize the instructors and do only the basic education on your own.”

“How much?”

“well. three months? half a year?”

It’s annoying to train new employees, but having to repeat it for so long.

But isn’t it the order of Han Ji-hyeok, who is his benefactor, not someone else?

“All right. It’s the CEO’s order, and you have to follow it.”

Something flashed through Baek Sang-ho’s mind as he answered so sullenly.

“ah! By the way, if it’s an education center, there must be a lot of skeletons for practice.”

“Sure.”

Then Baek Sang-ho thought with his eyes shining.

‘Firefighting and construction work are different from workers. Wouldn’t it be possible to overcome the limit by combining the two well?’

But then he shook his head and said.

‘No, that won’t work either. In the first place, linking these two is something only the CEO can do.’

It’s nothing else, and it’s too shameless to ask Han Ji-hyeok for help in satisfying one’s own curiosity.

That time when I was silent for such a long time.

“If you have something you want to say, say it, it’s okay.”

“yes?”

“Looks like it’s complicated in my head, but tell me to talk about it, don’t groan alone.”

Baek Sang-ho, who noticed those words, finally opened his mouth.

“Actually, I was imagining something like this…”

*

Baek Sang-ho, who suddenly laughed and frowned.

When he says, “If you have something to say,” as he seems lost in his imagination, he begins to list various ideas he has imagined.

Of course, most of the ideas are creative but useless, close to literal daydreaming, but sometimes something plausible pops up.

“…Adding three or four worker skeleton arms to it will increase work efficiency. Skeletons have excellent cognitive abilities, so I hold them with one hand and work simultaneously with the other hand.”

this is not bad

I’m not making a corkscrew skeleton, I’m just adding an arm or two.

At that time, Baek Sang-ho said with a sullen expression.

“I’ve been imagining things like that, but I can’t use more than the unique features of the console. Then, since you mentioned the training center, I wondered if there would be good results if the skeletons for practice were combined well, but when I thought about it, this was something only the CEO could do.”

Baek Sang-ho cannot realize his imagination due to the limitations of the control console.

‘Maybe this isn’t a good opportunity?’

Excellent work always comes out of countless imaginations.

However, my imagination has already been exhausted as much as it will be exhausted in Seron.

If so, if people like Baek Sang-ho, who are still overflowing with creativity, lay a board so that they can express their imagination freely, wouldn’t something worth salvaging come out?

‘Can you tell me the algorithm?’

It tells the concept of an algorithm itself, such as its structure and limitations.

Then, wouldn’t people like Baek Sang-ho use that concept and combine their imaginations to create something new?

It’s like making an airplane in the Golem game.

Maybe this is the best way for someone like Baek Sang-ho?

‘If you get used to the concept of an algorithm completely like that, later on, if you just give instructions, they’ll come up with combinations on their own.’

If you mass-produce people who are accustomed to algorithms like this, you don’t have to come up with an algorithm that suits you every time you start a new business, just throw it to them and use your imagination to the fullest.

How comfortable is it without having to groan after putting it together by myself?

‘then······.”

I thought about it for a while and said.

“Then how about doing this? Education Center and Research Institute, Education Research Center for short.”

Originally, universities do research and teach students, right?

It will be the Seron Education Center and Seron Research Center at the same time.

I trained newcomers and tested the new combination I created with the students.

“yes?”

“I like how skeletons work. So, I will tell you about the structure of the algorithm, and Mr. Baek Sang-ho and the instructors will freely combine it. Then I will visit once a week and implement that combination.”

When creating an algorithm, the most difficult part is to leave the combination to people like Baek Sang-ho, and I only implement it.

Then Baek Sang-ho jumped up from his seat and said.

“Hey, are you really? You mean I can mix and match as I please?!”

“yes.”

Even if I tell you anyway, I’m the only one who can apply and execute this.

“If that’s the case, I can be satisfied even if I stay at the Continuing Education Center instead of half a year!”

As expected, for people like Baek Sang-ho, this is the correct answer.

“Still, we must not forget that the basics are training for newcomers.”

“of course! I will thoroughly educate myself during working hours, and use the rest of my time to focus on research!”

You’re saying you’re going to make a passion pay on your own, right?

very good.

“I will not hold back my support, so try your best.”

That will make me more comfortable.
