Chapter 393 – Part 3
Chairman Ko Bong-soo hit his desk with his fist and burst into anger.
“Ha.. That bastard. These days, I went up to the cubic a little bit from this side, and there’s nothing to see? Do you dare touch mine?
You should apply for Byeong-ho and return Choi Mi-yeon’s heart no matter what. And release wet wipes right away. We have to hit the advertisements extensively… And hit Lee Seong-jin as much as possible so that Choi Mi-yeon or Choi Jae-seong’s heart should turn to us. Okay?”
“Yes. All right. President.”
“Hmm.. Wet wipes alone are weak.. Do you have anything else?”
“Jinsung Chemical tried to launch a chitosan product, but it was not available on the market due to a sale price. The chitosan product is also patented by Seongjin Lee’s future health food.”
“Okay? Then release that too. Release anything that can damage Lee Seong-jin’s business.”
“All right. I… But…”
As if he was about to say something uncomfortable, the chief of staff hesitated and looked at President Ko Bong-soo.
“What is it?”
“That.. Rumors.. Rumors are circulating that it was Lee Seong-jin who drove Jang Gun-ho, chairman of the Jangseong Group, this time. So I’m careful in case it might become a problem.”
President Ko Bong-soo was surprised.
In the business world, there was a lot of talk over the case of the Jangseong Group incident, also known as the ‘Mrs.
Judging from the fact that they are called “Nan” Rather than “Bangjeong,” It seems that they still do not accept that a woman is the president.
Could it be that they are expecting Jang Gun-ho to come back as the chairman?
Well.. After watching Mrs. Hong Ra-gyeong’s inaugural address yesterday, I was somewhat convinced that it was worth it, but it seems that something really impossible happened.
But there is Lee Seong-jin behind it…
If so, it was no different from saying that the Blue House, the man behind Lee Seong-jin, might have intervened.
How much did you suffer from the president in the aftermath of the real-name financial system last year?
I had to scrape off the money I didn’t have and give it to the president.
Chairman Koh Bong-soo thought that maybe chairman Jang Gun-ho was pushed out because he gave less money to the president.
Chairman Ko Bong-soo had goose bumps running down his spine.
If he thought that the president was trying to kill him, he imagined being robbed, appearing in the prosecution, and eventually going to prison.
“What? Are you… Are you sure about that?”
“I’m not sure… I’m not sure. There are just rumors going around. Also, the name Lee Seong-jin keeps coming up in the matter of getting rid of the gangnam organization that Byeong-ho managed in the past.”
“What? No, what the hell is that bastard doing? Is there anywhere you don’t wear it? Hey… Are you sure you’re talking right now?”
“Yes. This was confirmed directly by Master Byeongho. He said that Master Byeong-ho was hospitalized because of Lee Seong-jin.”
Chairman Ko Bong-soo thought a little more seriously.
To be honest, Gangnam’s organization (I can’t even remember the name now, and I don’t care about things like that) was a bit disappointing at the time.
In order to use it for dirty work behind the scenes, Ko Byung-ho secretly supported the fund, but it was destroyed overnight.
If you tried to fix it, you could fix it, and you could create a new one for such a common organization.
However, I heard that it was a fairly large organization, but it was a little surprising at the time that such an organization disappeared in one day.
Chairman Ko Bong-soo swallowed dry saliva and coughed excessively.
“Keuheum.. But you can’t just step back with your pride hurt like this. First of all… Just go ahead with what you did earlier. Do you know if there is a problem?”
The chief secretary lowered his head while answering and spat out a double curse inwardly.
What Chairman Koh Bong-soo is saying now is that it is a technique often used when stealing technology from small and medium-sized companies. When small and medium-sized businesses shed blood and sweat to research and develop and release a product, they make it similar to the product, put it on the market with the name of a large company, launch it, and push it with huge advertisements to kill sales.
And when a small and medium-sized business filed a lawsuit over patents or something, the legal team would step in and prolong the lawsuit, bribe the judge, and reverse the obvious trial result.
Small and medium-sized businesses have already suffered damage from a decrease in sales, suffered damage from litigation costs as the lawsuit period lengthened, and later lost the case, eventually causing the company to go bankrupt.
Then, at that time, they would take over the company at a low price and monopolize the market.
Since HK Group is not a small company like a small and medium-sized company, it was obvious that if Lucky Jinseong released a wet tissue and hit a large advertisement, it would take a huge hit on Good World’s sales.
And even if they filed a lawsuit on the other side, if it dragged on for a while, even if they lost the trial later, it was enough to pay a few pennies in damages.
It was a very dirty and despicable way.
However, seeing Chairman Koh Bong-soo even mentioning it himself, it seems that he himself is afraid.
“Kuhmm… Starting today, I will increase more bodyguards around me, and you risk your life or work in the hospital. Choi Mi-yeon You must turn your heart unconditionally. Okay?”
“Yes. All right.”
Chairman Ko Bong-soo looked at his secretary’s office and leaned deeply in his chair.
But for some reason, is it only an illusion that the spine is shaky?
After Seong-jin’s Lunar New Year holiday, she couldn’t keep her promise to Choi Mi-yeon, whom she had asked to date.
Wednesday, when the holidays begin.
Sungjin’s house was noisy even on this holiday.
In particular, this holiday was the first holiday since the company was reorganized into the HK Group, so there were so many people saying hello that it was not possible to spend time with just the women of Seongjin as before.
Fortunately, the women of Seongjin no longer cook the food themselves.
Even before the holiday, workers on each floor gathered to prepare food, her mother only had to supervise, and older women greeted the guests who came to greet them.
I was so busy, and I was having a crazy holiday, when suddenly Yeong-hee noona approached urgently and called Seong-jin.
“Sungjin. I got a call from the company. Pick up the phone.”
“Huh? Good world? Didn’t you take a break for the holidays?”
“What are you resting for? This holiday is 5 days long, so I took 3 days off and the factory is operating as it is. Last time, I had to stop the domestic supply to urgently adjust the export quantity to the US, but now we are having a hard time adjusting the quantity. Right now, I want to run the factory 24 hours a day, but I can’t because I’m afraid I’ll get scolded by you..”
Wet wipes, which have been on the market for two years now, have literally become a jackpot among jackpots.
Once you taste the convenience of life, you can never go back.
We used wet wipes instead of rags, and we used wet wipes instead of dishcloths at restaurants.
There are wet wipes, but who wants to use those that require painstaking hand washing, boiling, and drying?
You can always put it in your bag and wipe dirty things and wipe your hands, but who wouldn’t use it if it were women and mothers?
Now, wet wipes have become a necessity for women and the most convenient thing for men.
It is simple to make and low in cost, so it was a product that other companies, especially large companies, want to release with their mouths watering.
However, Sungjin had already worked on patents very meticulously targeting these things, and the minimum monopoly period was still 3 years, so other companies were just watching.
So Seongjin’s good world was so busy that it had to produce wet wipes while running all the machines at full capacity, even on holidays, even though the factory was greatly expanded in Seongnam.
“Okay? By the way, what happened all of a sudden?”
“Huh. I got a call from America. It’s urgent, so please call me soon..”
“Eh? Wal-Mart in America?”
“I guess so. I think the staff couldn’t communicate properly because of their poor English. So, give me a call now.”
Seong-jin, who was entertaining her guests, apologized to her mother and her guests, went into her room, and called her good world.
[Yes. President. I got a US Defendant Number. And I told you to contact me as soon as possible.]
Her good world staff voice was half excited, half apologetic.
She said it was because if there was an urgent call from the United States, it was likely a good thing for her, and instead, she felt sorry for not being able to communicate the exact details because she couldn’t make a proper call.
“Younghee sister. Did you study English a lot?”
“Huh. Ho-ho-ho… Don’t worry. I went to the academy and studied. It’s like bragging, but I can converse with foreigners in English. Ahem..”
“Okay. Cheek.. Then let’s go.”
“Eh? So many people are here, where are they going?”
“Where are you? I have to go to work.”
“Weren’t you talking on the phone after the holidays?”
“Holidays are holidays only for us, but not for America. Hurry up and follow me.”
Seong-jin asked the people for their understanding and went to the company with Young-hee older sister at the fore.
Younghee noona’s English was better than expected.
But up to that point, it wasn’t to the extent of doing business professionally.
Still, since the other party was in a hurry, Sungjin helped me by the side, so somehow I was able to finish the call.
“Sung.. Seongjin-ah. G.. Is this true now?”
“Of course. Why can’t you believe that you just called yourself?”
“Yeah.. No matter how much I think about it, I think our beloved Seobang-nim is really great. Love you. I really love you. Where did this piece of treasure come from?”
Younghee’s older sister violently hugged Seongjin by the neck and kissed her wildly.
“What… What is it? Suddenly? Kkkk…”
The news from America was really great news.
In November, Sung-jin went on a tour of the United States with the president and returned after signing a contract with merchants in the LA area and Wal-Mart’s western district manager for a small quantity to try and sell.
And a month later, the goods were released in the United States, and now, in less than two months, the stock has been exhausted.
In addition, consumers who immediately recognized the convenience of wet wipes, as in developed countries, kept calling the company to provide wet wipes, so Wal-Mart recognized the potential of wet wipes and contacted them saying that they would become the exclusive importer and supplier and expand sales throughout the United States.
Of course, it was a natural result since they made products that were sold only in the mid-2000s 10 years ahead of time.
Seong-jin had no choice but to promise to go to America right after the holidays.
“Nuna, you must be very busy. Call all staff. See if anyone can come to work, even for the holidays.”
“Huh. Okay.”
Younghee noona went right outside and spoke to the person at the highest level, while Seongjin also called his secretary to book a flight to depart right away on Monday.
Yeonghee noona, her face flushed red from her excitement, came back into her office and noticed Sungjin talking to her secretary on the phone and started to show her suspicious attitude.
“What? Sister… Do you have something to say to me?”
“Hey… West. I’m you~~”
“Huh.. Noona, you stretch out all your tails… And do what you normally do, right? Why are you doing something you didn’t do? Haha..”
“Ahh.. Darling~ Can’t I go to America with you this time too?”
Was that also the purpose?
Hehe.. Sister.. She’s pretty because she acts cute like that, but what do you think my answer will be?”
“Hey.. Can’t you? I want to go to America too…”
“Nuna, then, would you like to give me the position of president of Good World? Then I will take you to America.”
A bone formed on Young-hee’s sister’s forehead, and she suddenly began to think seriously.
“Hey.. Are you worried right now? Are you really going to quit the boss?”
“Um… Wait a minute. I’m serious Anyway, even if I quit my job here, my husband will feed me.
“This noona is really.. What is she worried about? Hyo-seon is just about to give birth, knowing for sure that there is no one to work for… Are you really going to do this?”
“Ah.. Honey.. I know.. But I really want to go to America..”
“OK got it. Let’s go together around summer vacation after we finish our busy work this time. Okay? So, let’s work hard until my sister starts school this time.
If you sign a contract with the US this time, you will have to go back to the factory really tight. Maybe I should run the factory 24 hours a day, as my real sister said.
At times like this, if my sister doesn’t plan properly and doesn’t manage her schedule, she might end up not being able to eat porridge or rice, so she has to be really good at it. Know?”
“Chit.. I know. I just tried it, but it’s too much. You don’t even know a woman’s heart…”
Younghee noona pursed her lips and turned her head away.
It was Yeong-hee’s older sister who became more and more innocent and aegyo.
