Episode 55 Become a master (3)
Captain Kang was fast, as expected.
Around the time I left work, I received a call that Captain Kang had secured evidence.
I headed to Captain Kang’s office to see him for the first time in a while.
“Representative, are you here!”
“Did you secure the evidence?”
“There was nothing to investigate in depth. He is a very clumsy guy. “He didn’t receive the money secretly, but just deposited it into his account, and he even bought a newly built apartment.”
Captain Kang took out the evidence he had collected.
As he said, he was truly a sloppy industrial spy.
And there was one more piece of very decisive evidence.
“Certainly, my wife is Chinese. Moreover, my brother-in-law works at Phiten Electronics.”
“Is it really from the beauty world?”
“I expect so.”
The beauty world has been used since ancient times.
The fact that it has been used to this day also means that it is an effective method.
“He’s a really talented person, but it’s unfortunate. “I went to a good university.”
“How do you plan to handle it?”
“I just want to handle it judicially. Mobilize the prosecution to handle it.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been able to use the prosecutor’s office.”
The line with the prosecution was becoming stronger day by day.
The number of prosecutors who joined the SAVE Investment Company fund was increasing day by day, and they all became my line.
At first, people were reluctant because they said it was not about money but about signing up for a fund.
However, I like it more now because it is much cleaner than kickbacks and there is no need to get caught by the law.
“Take care of it within this week. “You can’t keep cockroaches in the company for long.”
“I will contact the prosecutor’s office right away.”
“And there are a few more suspects. “Please investigate those people too.”
“How do you find people like that? As expected, the CEO’s insight is unique.”
“Isn’t that why we recruited Captain Kang because he has a good eye?”
“Thank you so much for saying that.”
Captain Kang was a truly outstanding person.
In addition, his various work abilities were improving, perhaps due to his efforts.
It was no surprise that an industrial spy would be arrested after being caught by someone like this.

A week later.
All departments at Taewoo Electronics were in an uproar.
Everyone flocked to the company bulletin board to check the details of the large-scale personnel change.
“What happened? “I suddenly have to go to the development team?”
“Manager, you are still part of the development team. “I graduated from engineering school and was suddenly assigned to the general affairs team.”
20% of office workers were transferred.
Since there were hundreds of people, personnel transfer orders filled the company bulletin board.
The personnel who were ordered to change personnel grumbled and moved to their seats.
However, when I actually moved departments, it wasn’t a bad thing at all.
“Is Manager Park here? “I already wanted to bring you to my team, so it worked out!”
“Did the manager really ask the president to make a personnel change?”
“What power do I have! By the way, this is the project you were working on before. “Let’s join our team.”
“The project was scrapped. Manager Yoon said it was an absurd project and threw it in the trash.”
“In Manager Yoon’s eyes, it might be trash, but in my eyes, I see potential. “How about we try it together?”
“I would like to thank you!”
Most departments had a friendly atmosphere.
The necessary personnel were assigned as if they were scratching an itch.
The most important thing is that even the people who were just taking up space have disappeared.
“uh? The manager has been assigned overseas. “Is this a promotion to an executive?”
“Shh! Manager, I will listen. If you were promoted, would the manager’s face look like that? It’s an overseas assignment, but it’s a corporation located in a remote area of Southeast Asia. “I’m just asking you to resign.”
“So the manager is leaving the company?”
“Why are you talking while smiling?”
“The conductor is also smiling.”
There were several cases where people were promoted based on politics rather than ability.
In particular, under President Park Jin-hoon’s regime, promotion was only possible with political power, so there were many incompetent managers at Taewoo Electronics.
A large number of such people were assigned to overseas corporations.
Since they were assigned to a very remote place in Southeast Asia, most of them took out their resignation letters with tears in their eyes.
It wasn’t just department managers who were dispatched overseas.
Even among low-ranking employees, there were people who were assigned overseas.
“Appointment Manager Jeong was assigned to Southeast Asia this time. Do you know what’s going on?”
“Can’t you tell just by looking at it? Assistant Manager Jeong It’s a parachute. “It’s ugly to believe in people and just sleep during work hours.”
“Then we can add more staff? “We weren’t able to recruit more staff because useless people were taking up the space.”
“I heard that the quality team ace is coming to our department.”
“Trash goes and Ace comes, right? Hey, a day like this is coming because the boss has changed.”
“It is widely rumored that the crown prince dances the sword dance as a form of art. “The skill of picking out useless people and cutting them off is like saying, ‘Go away from the doctor.’”
It was a personnel appointment that everyone liked, except for the employees who were assigned overseas.
However, as many people left due to overseas assignments, vacancies continued to arise.
“But I’m not sure if we’ll be able to properly recruit staff. “I heard there are more than 50 employees who have been assigned overseas.”
“That’s why they said they were knocking down a few existing projects. “He even boldly threw away a project that was almost completely developed.”
“Then what if another company hits the jackpot?”
“Well, it’s not a problem for us to worry about. “Who can say anything if the crown prince takes care of it?”
“Well, since he is going to be the next president, I’m sure he will do well.”
“But do you know where Manager Lee of Development Team 3 went? “He hasn’t even been to work for a few days.”
“I did not know? “That person was an industrial spy sent from China.”
“really? A colleague on the audit team told me this. “I think it will be on the news soon.”
The atmosphere in the company changed overnight.
But it wasn’t all that good.
As the number of people decreased, the number of tasks increased, so by the afternoon, everyone was busy handling the mountain of work.
* * *
The day after the personnel transfer order was issued.
The vice president relayed the atmosphere within the company.
“Everyone is satisfied. “A few employees who were assigned overseas are complaining, but I think it will be handled without any major issues.”
“Are you sad? “Even the people on the vice president’s line were sent overseas.”
“Gwae, it’s okay. “How can I interfere with what the boss is doing?”
“For the sake of the vice president, it is right to cut off such a person. And don’t build separate lines in the future. Aren’t all employees in the vice president’s line? “You have to have that mindset to be able to sit here, right?”
I said, tapping the chair I was sitting on.
It meant that if I became chairman, I would hand over the position of president of Taewoo Electronics.
The vice president, who immediately understood what I meant, smiled brightly and rubbed his hands as if he had just been in tears.
“I am truly honored that you think so favorably of me. From now on, I will manage my employees thinking that all employees are my line.”
“But are the employees who have moved on adapting well?”
“It’s still the first day, so they show some inexperience, but I don’t know of any employees complaining.”
Of course it should be.
I stayed up all night, checked his personal information, and placed him in the department that suited his aptitude.
It was a personnel transfer order that was completed by taking several headache pills to match team members who were compatible.
“Then that’s a relief. I heard that three additional factories have started producing InnoPhone. “What is the situation?”
“Compared to existing factories, production is low and there are a lot of defective products, but I think it will stabilize within this week. But there is a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Sales are soaring. Korean dealers are also clamoring for more Innophones, and the same is true in the US and Europe. “The volume sold so far has surpassed that of Samjin Electronics’ mobile phones with just a single model.”
Innophone’s popularity did not cool down.
Due to the lack of supplies, there were cases where Innophones were purchased from overseas.
Of course, this is thanks to Innophone’s excellent design and performance.
It was also proof that Steve’s name value has not died yet.
“Innophone is definitely very popular.”
“If we add mobile phones scheduled to be released in the first half of next year, our current factories will never be able to satisfy demand.”
The technology lab was developing the next model.
Now that it has been possible to develop jointly with Taewoo Electronics, development has accelerated.
If a new product appears in the first half of next year, Innophone’s sales volume will decrease, but if the new product is also a big hit, the current factory’s production capacity will not be enough.
“Special measures may be necessary. “I will look into that, so Vice President, please focus on managing the factory.”
“I will do my best to produce results.”
Innophone’s results were as good as already known.
Even if demand plummets from now on, Innophone’s sales volume has surpassed that of any other mobile phone.
So now it’s time to start planning to bring Steve back to Apple.
I guess I have to go to America again.
In addition to Steve’s problem, he had to go to the US to recruit Dimon.
* * *
Dimon, the second-in-command of Travelers.
He led many mergers and acquisitions with his mentor and company CEO Sand Weil.
The current rate of return was possible thanks to Dimon’s ability, and Dimon had no doubt that Sand Whale would one day hand over the company to him.
But something unexpected happened.
Sand Weil’s eldest daughter, Jennika Weil, joined the company by parachute.
Up to this point, he was able to endure it.
However, Sand Whale fully supported her, and even returned the funds that Dimon was running to her.
Daimon immediately went to Sand Whale.
I let out the anger that I had been hiding for a while.
“Jennika still needs to learn more. “He lacks the experience and ability to fully manage the fund.”
“I know everything. “Wouldn’t it be okay if you were by my side and told me better?”
“Of course I was going to tell you. However, Jennika is freely accessing the company’s confidential information.”
“Does that matter?”
“Confidential company information should only be known to top executives.”
“Then, of course, Jennika should know too. “He is the one who will one day succeed me and run the company.”
“Not now! “How can you give confidential information to an immature child!”
“What did you say just now? “My daughter is immature?”
“Honestly, I would say something harsher. “I don’t know why someone who hasn’t received proper investment education is being brought into the company.”
match!
Sand Whale’s palm grazed Daimon’s cheek.
A person on Wall Street who was famous for his foul personality was Sand Whale.
The reason he left the company he was working for and started his own business was because he got into a big fight with his boss.
“Is this the answer? I have been working for you for over 20 years. “I received several scouting offers from large financial companies, but I even turned them all down.”
“When did I tell you to stay? “If you want to go now, go somewhere else!”
The argument between the two became more severe.
It was to the point where employees who were listening outside had to step in and stop it.
Sand Whale and Dimon’s quarrel.
This should have happened several years before Kim Min-jae’s return, but for some reason, it happened several years earlier.
Seeds of discord.
The seed that Minjae Kim planted in Dimon’s mind became a catalyst and exploded.
