Chapter 6 How much is it? How much is it? (6)

“It’s time to relieve the accumulated sorrow of small suppliers.”

“What are you talking about?”

Jeon Seong-ryeol refuted the claim as if it was absurd, but his mouth was already in his ears.

“Are you going to receive it right away?”

“No way. You should receive it after you’ve had some fun.”

“But there’s no quantity to give to the Seohae Hotel anyway. Didn’t Makemiya Investment buy up a year’s worth of quantity?”

“Wouldn’t that be okay if you just worked a little harder?”

“How much longer do you want me to work hard here? My body is not made of steel.”

“Your liver is definitely made of steel.”

The phone call was disconnected while we were talking.

Jeon Seong-ryeol placed his smartphone on a makeshift table and watched it calmly.

“You’ll come back again, right?”

“100 percent.”

“When will you come back again?”

“Well, I think I’ll come back again in 10 minutes. If you think about it, Seohae Hotel has been patient for a long time.

“Aren’t you starting to run out of patience now?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smartphone started vibrating again, and Jeon Seong-ryeol clicked his tongue lightly.

“Mr. Ha, you’re a ghost.”

“Please accept it this time. It’s not good to tease them too much. People get tired.”

“I have to take it. Just ring it a few more times.”

Only after the bell rang about eight times did Jeon Seong-ryeol leisurely answer the phone.

His voice, which had been lively until just now, suddenly changed.

As for someone who has had too much to drink and is in a slump,

“Yes, this is Jeon Seong-ryeol.”

-This is Kim Hyo-san. I’m sorry to contact you so suddenly. But I don’t think your voice is very good…

“It’s my day off today, so I drank too much yesterday and I still feel heavy.”

-Oh, really? I’m sorry to call you on your day off.

“No. For self-employed people like us, where is there a distinction between a day off and a day off? If I get a call from a business partner, I have to get up from my sleep and run over, haha.”

Jeon Seong-ryeol smiled kindly and slyly inserted the word ‘business partner.’

-I’m contacting you because I have something to tell you about the delivery of pine mushrooms.

“Oh, that’s difficult for us. There’s a place that’s already bought a year’s worth of stock.”

I think Makemiya said that the Korean restaurant at the Seohae Hotel was VIP?

The head chef we’re talking to right now must have prepared a generous portion of pine mushroom dishes for that VIP.

When you think about it, it’s really funny how human relationships become entangled.

Jeon Seong-ryeol naturally blocked the microphone with his hand and quickly asked Ha Su-yeong.

“How far is it possible?”

“100kg per month.”

Although it was a pointless question, Ha Su-young answered without hesitation.

Jeon Seong-ryeol asked how much more he could increase his pine mushroom production if he made a deal with Seohae Hotel, and Ha Su-yeong answered that it would be 100 kg per month.

Jeon Seong-ryeol again focused on his conversation with Kim Hyo-san.

– Sir, I would like to entrust all the food materials our hotel needs to Seongryeol Distribution. Is it possible to do business with them?

“yes?”

For a moment, Jeon Seong-ryeol looked at Ha Su-yeong in surprise, and when their eyes met, Ha Su-yeong shrugged her shoulders.

‘What is happening all of a sudden?’

‘How would I know?’

‘Is it this easy to get to Seohae Hotel?’

‘I guess you were sad to see President Makemiya leave.’

After exchanging small words like that, Jeon Seong-ryeol focused on the call again.

“Oh, well… I was momentarily taken aback by your sudden remark. As far as I know, the company that currently supplies everything to Seohae Hotel has a relationship of trust that has lasted for over 10 years.”

-Yes, that’s correct.

“I would appreciate it if you could give us the bulk delivery rights for the Seohae Hotel Seoul… but wouldn’t there be some noise in terms of integrated management of all branches?”

-You misunderstand. I am not talking about bulk delivery to the Seoul branch.

I am talking about bulk delivery of food ingredients to all domestic branches of Seohae Hotel.

At that moment, Jeon Seong-ryeol almost cheered, but barely managed to hold it back.

Ha Soo-young also pricked up her ears and brought her ear close to the smartphone that was in speaker mode.

“Oh, well, honestly, I was really surprised. I never expected you to give me such a big gift all of a sudden.”

-I’m not asking for any conditions, but I’d like to ask for a small favor instead.

“Permission?”

Their eyes met.

I guess he was trying to say that he wanted to ensure a stable and sufficient supply of pine mushrooms.

-I’d like to ask President Makemiya to say just one kind word.

“…What did you say?”

Jeon Seong-ryeol looked up at Ha Su-yeong in bewilderment at the name that suddenly came out. Then he asked with his lips.

‘What is this situation all of a sudden?’

‘Well, how do I know?’

“Why is that gentleman’s name here?”

‘Just ask him yourself.’

Jeon Seong-ryeol cleared his throat and asked.

“Excuse me, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”

-Actually, our vice president got scolded by President Makemiya.

And Kim Hyo-san explained the whole story.

It is said that Makemiya first contacted the Seohae Hotel. He asked if they were willing to purchase the quantity of pine mushrooms he had secured, but Makemiya attached a precondition to it.

– We will respectfully receive the sincere permission of Seongryeol Distribution.

The vice president of Seohae Hotel, unless he was an idiot, could not have been unaware that Makemiya was taking care of Seongryeol Distribution.

Moreover, Makemiya is a top-class VIP who is carefully managed by the management of the West Sea Hotel.

The vice president was furious after receiving a detailed report on how this person had come to defect to Baekdu Hotel, and the food supplier was immediately expelled.

-… … That’s what happened. I told you everything honestly.

Jeon Seong-ryeol honestly got goosebumps.

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with Makemiya when we concluded the bulk purchase transaction for Songi.

-If the conditions are met, would you consider supplying to the Seohae Hotel?

-If the conditions are right, what can’t be done?

-Director Kim. Find a way to interfere with the management of the Seohae Hotel.

It was surprising how much influence he had over the hotel vice president, but I was even more surprised by his sincere consideration for me.

Usually, such big businessmen would not give special consideration to the feelings of small business owners like themselves.

A laugh escaped me in a not-so-bad sense of emptiness.

“It seems that CEO Makemiya really loves the Seohae Hotel.”

“I guess you really like my cooking,” Jeon Seong-ryeol said politely.

Kim Hyo-san probably also understood the meaning.

-He is someone who truly loves simple cooking.

“I heard that when CEO Makemiya visits a local branch of the Seohae Hotel, the head chef personally goes on a business trip.”

-I’m embarrassed.

Jeon Seong-ryeol didn’t worry any longer. This was a situation that a businessman didn’t need to think about any more.

“Thank you very much for your bulk delivery offer. I will work hard in the future.”

-Thank you. Me and Songi… … .

“Can I deliver some of the goods to President Makemiya directly to the Seohae Hotel?”

-Yes, I think it would be better to deduct it from the amount sold to Makemiya Investment instead.

Makemiya has already paid the price of the mushrooms in a lump sum.

In that case, the Seohae Hotel would have to pay the Songi fee to Makemiya.

‘That’s none of my business.’

-I’m sorry, but would it be possible for me to receive Songi at least in the morning?

“Yes, I will instruct my staff to leave right away. You will be able to receive it even late tonight.”

-thank you.

Kim Hyo-san hung up the phone after repeatedly thanking him, and Jeon Seong-ryeol looked down at his smartphone and smiled.

“This is how it works out again.”

“Money is good, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s true. If you have money, you can solve all your problems.”

“There’s a saying that if you have a problem that money can’t solve, you should consider whether you don’t have enough money.”

Ha Soo-young added with a shrug.

“By the way, aren’t you wasting a great opportunity to relieve the suffering of small suppliers?”

“Sadness? That was already resolved in one go?”

“It’s just one gift for a bulk delivery to all branches?”

“Why are you being so secretive when you received such a great gift? President Makemiya will be upset when he hears the story behind it. He went out of his way to mediate, but now he’s saying you’re being greedy.”

“As expected, our former boss is such a businessman.”

Kim Hyo-san waited anxiously for the call.

As 11 p.m. approached, the call he had been waiting for finally arrived.

“Head chef, I’m here! I’m here! It’s the Seongryeol Distribution Truck!”

“I’ll go myself!”

Kim Hyo-san ran naked to the materials warehouse.

A large truck came in through the back door and a styrofoam box was being unloaded.

Kim Hyo-san sighed in relief after seeing the mushrooms neatly laid out in the box.

“It all adds up to 150kg. Sign here.”

A Sungryeol Distribution employee handed me a confirmation form and asked me to sign, and a materials purchasing employee came forward and signed it.

“I’m going to make a mushroom stew with this. I’m also going to make a mushroom porridge with lots of pine nuts and sesame seeds, and I’m also going to make a meat stew with mushrooms that have been lightly roasted over a fire to bring out their flavor. And also…”

The kitchen staff listened to Kim Hyo-san’s mutterings with a somewhat bewildered expression.

‘What kind of pine mushrooms did our head chef do that to… … .’

After hearing that Makemiya was staying at Baekdu Hotel, Kim Hyo-san was deeply distressed.

However, I was too embarrassed to contact them first and ask for help.

After all, I am just a chef.

It would be impossible to dare ask Makemiya for something.

“Head Chef! President Makemiya is here now!”

“What? Got it! Go right now!”

The time now is 11 o’clock at night.

The Korean restaurant had already closed two hours ago.

However, if it is Makemiya’s visit, the Seohae Hotel’s law requires that the doors be open at 5 a.m.

Kim Hyo-san quickly put on his chef’s uniform and went to the VIP room of a Korean restaurant opened exclusively for Makemiya.

Makemiya was not alone. He was accompanied by a young, slender beauty.

“Sir, you’re here. Oh, and your niece is here too.”

“hello.”

Since they were already familiar with each other, Jeong Seo-hee gave a light nod to Kim Hyo-san.

“Did you receive the Songi well?”

“Yes, I received it! Thank you very much, sir!”

“I wonder if I did something wrong. Didn’t some of the employees get blown up because of me?”

“No! If you do something wrong, isn’t it the way of the world that you should be punished for it?”

“Still, I feel a little sorry towards the Vice President. After all, isn’t it true that an outsider interfered with the company’s management?”

“That’s right, sir. Why did you do that after doing all the things you didn’t do?”

Kim Hyo-san calmed his pounding heart while feeling nervous.

Is it perhaps because of the affection that has built up over time that he is being considerate of me? If so, I think he would be really happy.

Makemiya said nonchalantly.

“A few days ago, I was eating a songi dish at Baekdu Hotel, and it was saltier than usual. So I changed hotels again.”

“Oh, I guess I made a mistake while cooking.”

“There is a reason why Baekdu cannot cross the West Sea.”

Kim Hyo-san felt a strange sense of emptiness and smiled awkwardly.
