Chapter 81 – New Menu and Business Expansion Plan

The man intentionally intended to expose the name of the Sky Association.
The purpose was not to kill Kim Hyeon-sam, but to make him inactive for the time being, so we will make sure that no one gets caught by hitting and falling as quickly as possible.
At the same time, he will deliberately reveal the name of Haneulhoe in the middle, making it pretend that the place that terrorized Kim Hyun-sam is Haneulhoe.
And when the police investigation begins, he intends to manipulate public opinion by deliberately exposing it loudly to the media, saying that Skyhoe has never done such a thing, and that Kim Hyeon-sam is trying to discredit Skyhoe with impure intentions.
It didn’t matter at all because the police wouldn’t be able to find the people who terrorized Kim Hyun-sam anyway.

“All right. I totally understand. How many will it be?”
“It should be about ten people. Because Kim Hyun-sam’s security is not that severe.”
“When will you send it?”
“I will contact you later on that.”
“I see. Then, I will prepare it, so please feel free to contact me.”
When the man left, Park Gwang-seong called Ki-cheol, the underboss again, and gave instructions.
“Choose only 10 nimble kids and have them ready to work on the Skyhoe side at any time. I don’t want to sell my children’s faces for nothing, so if possible, gather them in a hiding place.”
“Yes. They are all congregating on the outskirts because they are saving themselves right now.”
“As with Kim Chun-shik, if things go well this time, I think we can take over Seoul. Kim Chun-sik’s wife and daughter are captured without mistakes.”
“Don’t worry, brother. I’ll be sure to take care of it soon.
“And be careful. No matter how much you watch them from above, the atmosphere isn’t good these days, so take care of the kids.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. Older brother.”

Next week is the final exam.
I didn’t worry too much about the exam because I listened to school classes steadily and reviewed them before going to bed at night.
Instead, I was contemplating where to locate Aunt Hyo-seon’s store.
In addition, I thought that I should quickly increase the number of branches, even in the form of a franchise.
And the biggest concern was the new menu.
I roughly decided what to do, but the process was not easy.

Sungjin’s second menu was Crispy Chicken.
KFC entered the market in the late 1980s under the name ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’, but it was not widely known to the public until now when it opened a store in Apgujeong-dong.
In 1991, when the company’s headquarters in the US changed its name to “KFC,” Korea began to expand its stores in earnest.
At the time, when it came to whole chicken, all that was said was to put the whole chicken in an oil pot at the market and fry it.
It was a time when there were not as many types of chicken as there are now, such as crispy chicken, soy sauce chicken, and garlic chicken.

First of all, we had to make a crispy fried batter, which is an absolute mandate of Crispy.
In my previous life, a person named Baek Jang-won showed me how to make Crispy Chicken on a cooking show, so I knew it roughly, but I couldn’t figure out exactly how to do it.
I just remembered that you said that if you add milk instead of water when kneading, it will taste like KFC chicken.
So, once the final exams were over, I decided to do some research.
The menu derived from Crispy Chicken was ‘Cup Chicken’.
It was to coat small pieces of chicken meat in crispy batter and deep-fry it, then use mustard and tteok skewers sauce to make one cup at a time.
If this was sold in front of the school, there was a high possibility that it would become a jackpot following the tteok skewers.
The most important thing to do this was that the supply of chicken meat should be smooth.
To do so, it seemed advantageous to acquire a chicken factory and directly supply chickens and lean meats.
As I continued to think about franchises, Crispy Chicken, and chicken direct supply, I came up with a very good idea.
It was to set up an MRO company.
MRO is an abbreviation of Maintenance, Repair and Operation (maintenance, repair, and operating materials), which collectively refers to non-strategic indirect materials required for the operation and production of a company, excluding raw/subsidiary materials directly used for product production.
In a word, all the ingredients, from the rice cakes needed for mother’s ‘Kim Hee-kyung Tteok Skewers’ to the racks, are purchased cheaply by a company in the middle and supplied to branches or franchises at regular or slightly higher prices.
Unit prices can be lowered through bulk purchases, and the consumption destination of a franchise can be said to be a company that literally sits down and makes money.
In this way, MRO is a company that leaves legal distribution margins, and large corporations later made huge slush funds with such companies.
It was to the extent that the MRO Act was enacted.
It seemed that it would be all right to make MRO company a subsidiary of her mother’s ‘Kim Hee-kyung Food’ and have it handle all of the franchise items, and either create a business department within MRO company or create a subsidiary and entrust the overall chicken supply.
Seongjin gradually deepened his thoughts.
She planned to create a new menu, expand the franchise, and monopolize all distribution by creating an MRO company.
In addition, I was thinking of starting a multi-level company with Sungyeol-hyung and making a blast with chitosan and aloe, which are groundbreaking items.
Moreover, Sungjin now has the funds to make them possible.
Seong-jin calmly made a plan and began searching in his head for a person who could be in charge of fund management and each company.

He thought of doing one at a time.
Everything I want to do now is ahead of its time.
Enough time.
In just a few years, things will become a big hit in Korea, so I’m just preoccupying them.
These are things that have already been proven to be successful.
Of course, it won’t change if I put my hand first.
And I am a person who has already graduated from the Department of Business Administration at Seoul National University.
I know some economic theory and how to use it.
If I touch it and make it better, I made it, but it won’t hurt.
I was confident.
It’s because I already have 5 billion funds in my hands.
A little bit of excitement came over me.
But, the heart is hot, the head is cold…
I’m just looking forward to seeing what my future will look like.

The eyes of Aunt Jeong-hee and Aunt Hyo-seon, whom we met at church on Sunday, were no joke.
The eyes of the two women looking at me were profound and full of love.
It was two women who smiled slightly at me without the others noticing.
She doesn’t say it openly, but Auntie Jeonghee’s eyes looking at Auntie Hyosun were very ferocious.
If I said something disliked to Auntie Hyo-seon for no reason, her relationship with me could have been exposed, and since Aunt Hyo-seon was older, she couldn’t express it outwardly and only gave sharp eyes.
Aunt Hyo-seon lowered her head or immediately averted her eyes, as if she was somehow intimidated when Aunt Jeong-hee looked at her with her ferocious eyes.
I laughed inwardly at the actions of these two women, and I was scolded for holding back.
“Sungjin. When will you come to my house?”
Avoiding her eyes, Aunt Jeong-hee sneaked up to me and whispered.
“I want to go anytime. But Jeong-hee, you don’t have time. Give me some time.”
“Okay. I’ll make time next week and let you know. You must come.”
“Okay. Just talk anytime I will run right away.”
Aunt Jeonghee gave a satisfied smile and walked away.
After a while, Mrs. Hyo-seon sneaked up to her.
“Sungjin. Are you free on Friday? My parents-in-law said they went to the countryside that day..”
It was Aunt Hyo-seon who spoke cautiously, blushing and embarrassed.
I know, she replied, and she pinched her ass tightly without anyone noticing.
“Huh..”
Aunt Hyo-seon, who let out her strange moan, was startled herself and covered her mouth with her hand and quickly looked around her.
I laughed out loud and went home.
Apparently this week has been very busy.
After dinner, I was reading a book with final exams coming up, and her mother came to talk to me.
“Sungjin, are you busy?”
“No. Are you okay. Anyway, since I know everything, I have already finished studying. I have time left, so I am just reading a book.”
“Okay? Then, are you confident of getting first place in this final exam?”
“Well, you’ll have to take the test to find out, but I won’t miss first place anyway. Don’t worry mother.”
My mother smiled proudly at my words and stroked my face with her hand.
“By the way, what are you going to say, mother?”
“Ah! It’s not different, Myeong-soo’s mother and Woo-hee’s mother, who are working together now, want to do business ignorantly, so how about giving them a branch? The two of them are trustworthy, and I know the circumstances of the two of them, but my mother honestly doesn’t care too much about her income and can just take whatever the two of them give her.”
“Oops! My mother, who is so kind. Mother, what I said last time was that the world is that harsh, not that everyone is like that. If your mother thinks you can trust the two aunts, then so be it. I had planned to open a branch for Mrs. Hyo-seon and quickly increase the number of branches. Then, don’t receive profits from those two ladies in proportion, and receive money in a set amount per week. Usually these days, Auntie Jeong-hee earns between 1.2 million won and 1.5 million won a week, so tell the two aunties that they receive a fixed amount of 1 million won a week. When you first start a business, you have to settle down, so don’t take it for three weeks.”
“Ah! Then it will work. Then there’s no need for the ladies to cheat on their profits. That’s a good way After all, my son is smart.”
My mother was excited that I was smart, and she seemed excited that I could help the two aunties.
“Mom, then you need to move quickly. It’s the end of the year soon, so if you get a seat quickly, your profits will rise quickly.”
“Oh, yes. It could be the end of the year. Ok, got it I’ll go out and come back.”
The mother took her coat and put it on and left her room.
Even though we will meet at the store tomorrow anyway, my mother was excited and she walked out laughing.
I couldn’t bear to stop my mother from being so excited.
Her mother came back after two hours and with a smile on her face, she said that the two aunts had decided to deposit 1 million won a week after three weeks, and she asked to go tomorrow to set up the food stall.
I decided to designate a place to install the stalls.
