225. Good Monopoly (4)

Branch manager Cha Bong-hoon was arrested.

It was very rare for a union branch leader to be arrested so quickly.

This meant that the evidence obtained by the prosecution was solid, and the Seoul corporate taxi union, which had lost its focal point, continued its strike in a turbulent atmosphere.

“We’ll be okay, right?”

“Is there anyone who wouldn’t get caught in the dust? If they caught us, all the taxi company owners in the country would go to jail. And to be honest, we are more like victims.”

“That’s true, but would the prosecutors who are crazy about their performance take into account such a situation?”

They were taxi company owners who were in trouble.

There was someone who approached them secretly.

It was Captain Kang, wearing a red vest and pretending to be a union member.

“Hello, this is Kang In-sik from Kang In Transport.”

“Kanginunsoo? I’ve heard that a lot somewhere.”

“This person! Isn’t Kangin Transportation the taxi company that leads Cocoa Taxi or something?”

“Where is this place? Where is this guy who stabs people in the back!”

He was the owner of a taxi company who started getting angry.

Captain Kang made a sly expression and apologized first.

“I never thought it would turn out like this.”

“Because of you, the number of taxi drivers participating in the strike has decreased significantly! That’s why Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon went through such hardships!”

“I really didn’t expect that Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon would be arrested. After listening to the prosecution, they said he would definitely get a prison sentence.”

“Looks like you know something about the prosecution.”

“I just heard about it because I am friends with the prosecution investigator.”

Captain Kang approaches with a smile.

The taxi company presidents were still rejecting Captain Kang, but Captain Kang continued talking regardless.

“If we remain quiet, the bosses may end up looking like Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon.”

“This person! Who did he come all the way here to pick on?”

“I’m trying to teach you how to live instead of salting. Honestly, aren’t the bosses also victims? Didn’t they do things they didn’t want to do in order to meet the payment to Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon?”

“Hmm, you might think so.”

“But will the prosecutors know about it? So, only if the bosses come forward and tell the truth, can they survive.”

Captain Kang spoke as if he was truly worried about the bosses.

He must have practiced facial expressions, and he even had a really urgent look on his face.

“Are you telling us to ask the prosecution to investigate the details of Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon? Are you saying that he knows what our relationship is with Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon?”

“While maintaining loyalty, we ended up going to jail together holding hands. Calculate it carefully. And think of the bosses and the taxi drivers of the company rather than your loyalty to branch manager Cha Bong-hoon.”

The bosses looked at each other’s faces.

Because they didn’t say anything, the employees’ dissatisfaction grew day by day.

It was natural for private taxi drivers to be dissatisfied as they were participating in a meaningless strike while making maximum sales.

And even fees.

If you use Cocoa Taxi, the fee is free.

These drivers wanted to use Cocoa Taxi instead of call companies because they could increase sales by at least 30% even if they drove the same distance.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to think about it and decide.”

“Ask the drivers’ intentions as well. Do they want to work with a call company that only talks about money, or do they want to work with Cocoa Taxi, which offers free commission?”

“Are you saying we have to choose one or the other?”

“That’s not true either. There is no need to sever ties with the call company just because you sign a franchise with Cocoa Taxi. Wouldn’t it be better if both sides receive work? I just wanted to say that in order for the bosses to survive, they have to abandon branch manager Cha Bong-hoon. .”

Slap the face of a child who wants to cry.

Of course, the taxi company owners didn’t want to go to jail, and they were secretly thinking that if they blamed all the crimes on Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon, they wouldn’t have to be punished.

But the justification was lacking.

A justification to abandon branch manager Cha Bong-hoon.

However, my heart was shaken because Captain Kang had made up a very beautiful justification for his employees.

“Okay, just go. I can’t listen to you anymore.”

“So! Our relationship with Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon is so deep, but he’s causing a rift!”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you, so go quickly!”

The bosses spoke harsh words and kicked Captain Kang out.

Despite being mistreated, Captain Kang only left after giving his business card to the bosses.

The taxi company presidents were looking at Captain Kang’s increasingly distant figure, clutching business cards in their hands.

Late afternoon.

After finishing work at the company, I went to Captain Kang’s office.

Captain Kang greeted me warmly, waving a large amount of documents.

“Today alone, more than five taxi companies applied for membership!”

“I thought it would take a while, but it will be over soon.”

“Except for Youngshin, the largest taxi company in Seoul, it appears that all companies can apply for membership. Although they have not applied for membership, there are more than one or two companies showing interest.”

It was a very bright voice.

Just in the morning, Captain Kang had reported the situation in a slightly dejected voice, but in just a few hours, his situation had changed 180 degrees.

“Didn’t you say just this morning that taxi companies were slow to apply for membership?”

“I thought so too. At the strike site, the president who had been complaining about things was the first to come and apply for membership. As if he was ready, the rest of the presidents came too!”

“So now, about 70% of taxis in Seoul are affiliated with Cocoa Taxi.”

“Youngshin will also have no choice but to apply for membership. If the sales difference is more than 30%, there is no reason for drivers to go to Youngshin, right?”

A thorough relationship between A and B.

However, the reason why Eul bowed down to A was because of the salary.

However, if you could change jobs and earn more, you would move to another job.

“That’s great, but the call company is going to make a big fuss.”

“We are already preparing. Among the call company owners, there were quite a few people who played in the back streets.”

“If you don’t have enough power, try borrowing Myeongdong’s power.”

“What would happen if the guys who were playing in the back streets came in droves? We have over 300 employees, all of whom are educated, and are training for hours every day. If you want to deal with us, you have to come at least five times as many.”

“Still, you may get stabbed blindly, so be sure to wear an anti-blocking suit.”

Honestly, I wasn’t even worried.

Most of Captain Kang’s employees were former soldiers, and there were even special forces, UDT, and North Korean agents.

How can a gangster who spits on people like that in the back street deal with them?

“When I talked to the employees, they were all really happy. They said they could relax after a long time.”

“If you stretch your body too much, you can get hurt. Tell them to take it easy. And if it looks like things are going to get too noisy, we mobilize the police.”

“I have already spoken to the police. I asked them to arrive as late as possible in case a fist fight breaks out.”

It was Captain Kang who did the opposite of what was expected.

He was so confident, and that confidence did not seem arrogant or arrogant.

“How is things going with Branch Manager Cha Bong-hoon?”

“The prosecution is having a hard time. Thanks to the fact that we provided them with so much evidence, the process is going smoothly. At best, he will have to spend a few years in prison. But what should we do with Youngshin Taxi’s owner? Should we get him booked together?”

“How lonely would it be if my son went to prison alone? Let the father and son both enjoy their time in prison.”

Youngshin, the largest taxi company in Seoul.

But what happens if the boss goes to jail?

It was probably going to be torn apart within a month and either absorbed into another company or going out of business.

* * *

Cha Il-yeop, CEO of Youngshin Taxi.

He called together call companies and taxi drivers.

“Nothing is working because of Kangin Unsoo. How can I resolve this?”

“Boss, just push those guys away with force.”

Kim Do-hwan, the call company representative, rolled up his sleeves and said.

The purpose was to show off the black dragon tattoo drawn on his forearm.

“Can you handle it?”

“Aren’t we experts at this type of work? We will handle it very neatly.”

“We will help too. Is there anything we can’t do for the boss who helped him get rid of his life as a gangster? We will also contact the younger brothers who lived with him when he was living in the shadows.”

Among taxi drivers, quite a few were former gangsters.

In some places, gangsters worked together as taxi drivers to monopolize the area.

Being able to monopolize an area came with enormous benefits, so when private taxis or other corporate taxis entered the area, they used violence or even intentionally caused traffic accidents.

“If we take care of CEO Kang-in Transportation, won’t Cocoa Taxi also leave the taxi industry?”

“I will crush you very cruelly. I will ingrain deep in your bones that the taxi industry is not an easy place.”

“I will only trust you. If this matter is handled well, I will entrust one of the call companies to you.”

“As expected, you are the boss! I will give you good news later today.”

“Don’t worry, we will pay generously for the work.”

Kim Do-hwan, a gangster-turned-call company president.

People who were gangsters or gangsters gathered around him.

They received ample financial support from CEO Cha Il-yeop and mobilized all their connections to increase their presence.

And so it became night.

More than 100 people gathered in the taxi company parking lot.

“They are weak taxi drivers, so don’t be too rough on them. Our target is the CEO of Gangin Transportation! You can make him an asshole, but just scare the other taxi drivers moderately.”

“We don’t know about that. If it gets in your way, it will sting. If it doesn’t want to get hurt, it will run away on its own.”

“Don’t carry sashimi around dangerously, but carry a wooden block! The other person is an ordinary person.”

“Atta, why do we have to measure so much? It goes by quickly. We are all people whose money is time.”

“For the last time, you must never kill anyone!”

Kim Do-hwan made a new request and moved to Kang-in Transportation.

Kim Do-hwan was very worried even while moving.

Could it be that I called some people who were too rough?

What if all the Kangin Transportation drivers turn into idiots?

There was only one thing Kim Do-hwan wanted.

I hope the taxi drivers will run away on their own when they arrive.

But something happened that was completely contrary to his expectations.

“Wow! They’re gangsters! Look at that big guy. He could do sumo instead of wrestling.”

“Aren’t they gangsters, not gangsters? And they’re all just waves. Would you even be able to properly kick with a body like that?”

100 gangsters arrived at Gangin Transportation.

However, the Kangin Transportation taxi drivers instead mocked and provoked him.

It’s clearly a taxi driver wearing a blue uniform, so why does he react like that?

It was Kim Do-hwan who sensed something strange.

But unlike him, gangsters were guys who didn’t think.

As soon as the ridicule and provocation came in, he got angry and grabbed his tools.

“You guys have lost your wits! Wipe them all out!”
