059 Uneaten Persimmon

“How are you?”

The woman in front of me said to me. She seemed to be in her late twenties and was a typical career woman.

But she was thinking about something else for a moment, so I couldn't answer her question.

“What are you talking about?”

When I asked her with a shy expression on her face, she smiled softly as if it was okay and opened her mouth.

“I asked if you would like to join our Jonggak N School.”

Then he handed me the membership application form and a high-quality ballpoint pen.

She looked at me with an expressionless expression that I was going to sign the application.

But I was not willing to pick up the fountain pen she held out. He just slowly scanned the contract she held out.

Then she looked at my expression and opened her mouth with a sad expression on her face.

“As you know, there are very few cases where we are the first to contact you. So, as I said before, signing now is…”

Then, in a slightly more intense tone than before, they started explaining their academy to me again.

“·················ogue.”

In fact, when I received an e-mail from Jonggak N School yesterday, I accepted their proposal quite positively.

First of all, since Jonggak N School is a large-scale academy with a nationwide chain network, I thought that there would be a big ‘difference’ in terms of the system from general private academies.

“...Finally, we are reducing the burden of operating the academy through the integrated operation and management system where the head office's know-how is concentrated. How are you? Isn't this a benefit you'll be satisfied with?"

She looked at me as she organized her materials she was holding.

Obviously, just hearing her story, it seemed like I had to sign the application right away.

In any case, it was said that as long as you become an affiliate, you can take care of all classes and management of the academy.

In addition to that, considering the credibility that large franchises give to parents, it seemed natural for general directors to try to join Jonggak N School first.

But.

I wasn't very impressed with her offer.

"is that so."

When I replied lukewarm, she frowned slightly.

But she soon regains her smile and begins to open her mouth.

"Yes. And there is one thing you should be aware of, it's not very often that we contact and visit you like a teacher. It is structured in such a way that other directors contact them first and then we determine the qualifications.”

Then I started putting some pressure on it. As if not now, there would be no such good opportunity.

However, it was a method that did not work for me, who had been trained through various sales activities.

I opened my mouth with a slightly curious expression.

"Oh, I see. But I have one question, why are you making such an offer even though I didn't even apply?”

Then her face hardened slightly.

"That's... I can't tell you the details because I've only received instructions from the main office. But what is certain is that the proposal I am making now is a good one for you. Teachers are also well aware of the size and evaluation of our academy.”

Refusing to respond gently, she put forward the size of her academy, and she secretly tried to persuade me.

But it wasn't easy.

Because I had a decisive reason for not accepting her offer.

“But if I accept the offer, roughly how much profit will I make?”When the talk about money came out, her expression brightened. She seemed to be the part in which she was most confident.

"well. That depends on the surrounding commercial district and the size of the academy, but considering the size of the academy where the teacher is, at least 70 million won in monthly sales. Net sales are expected to be around 30 million won.”

She said she gave the accent on her amount part.

Perhaps she thought this time would be the end of this sluggish conversation.

"okay?"

let me swipe She nodded her head with her smile.

"Yes. In addition, in the case of a teacher’s academy, we plan to set the membership fee as low as 30 million won and a deposit of 30 million won, so the initial burden will be much less compared to others.”

At the same time, she emphasized that the conditions are much more favorable than that of other academy directors.

As if they were giving me a big chance.

But I just smiled at her attitude.

“Then there is nothing more to see.”

As I spoke, she smiled brightly, and she handed me the application form and her fountain pen again.

"Yes? Then immediately sign the contract…”

She said. But I didn't follow her.

It was just that she pushed her fountain pen and her application form back to her and said a word to her.

“I will decline.”

Then she looked at me and gave me a look that she didn't understand.

"why not···"

It's the reason why....

In fact, there were many reasons.

The benefits of providing textbooks for each level, a nationwide evaluation system, a multimedia system, and an integrated operation management system, which they were promoting, seemed good at first glance.

However, in fact, there are many cases where academies that are on track have already operated similar things in their own way.

So, there was no reason to accept their proposal unless it was necessary to introduce a new system and chaos the original system of the academy.

Besides, I didn't like the intention that they had made this offer to me.

They were stating their size and speaking favorably about making this offer to me, but

After all, their purpose was to use my abilities and awareness to increase their name value.

But it didn't seem necessary to tell her all these things.

I'm just going to tell her why she's the easiest to understand.

“Thanks for the suggestion. But that level of sales is still enough in a week.”

OK.

Her expression hardened for a moment. However, she quickly regained her expression and opened her mouth calmly.

"Teacher. The 30 million won I mentioned earlier was not the total sales, but the net sales. so···"

She seemed to think I was misunderstanding something.

It didn't seem like she was mistaken for me.

I opened her mouth slowly, watching her as she continued to speak.

"I know. I was also talking about net sales.”

Then, as she was about to continue her speech, she stopped her. Then she looked at me with a slightly blank expression.

I smiled lightly and nodded her head.

“So, our academy’s monthly net sales are about 70 million won.”

* * *

I was slowly cleaning the table in the office.

Looking at the half-empty paper cup, I remembered the face of the person who had just been here before.

‘This is a big mistake.’

Earlier, when I inevitably revealed her academy sales, she spoke without hiding a bitter expression on her face.

'I should have figured it out when the instructions came directly from the main office... It's my fault. I just made you worry.’

Then he politely apologized to me.

But I didn't hurt her because of her, so I just nodded her head.

However.

After she had finished her apology, she suddenly made a strange offer to her.

That suggestion is right there.

'Teacher... Then, is it possible to give a lecture?'

It was a nonsensical story.

What was the story of franchise affiliation so far?

I looked at him puzzled for a moment, and then she smiled a little humbly. And then I started explaining what it was in English.

‘Originally, I was going to tell you after I filled out the membership application form, but I wanted to ask if it is possible to take a lecture for retakers…’

She said as she wiggled her fingers slightly.

Apparently, after I wrote the membership sign-up form, I was slowly trying to inquire about the availability of lectures.

But contrary to her expectations, I refused to join, so it seems that she had a hard time getting her words out.

‘Is that also an instruction from the headquarters?

When I asked, she nodded her head.

'Yes.'

It was expected. Maybe she wouldn't have decided on this alone.

But at the same time, I was curious about the intention of the academy over there who had made such a sudden proposal.

I knocked on the table and kept quiet.

It was a sudden proposal, so I needed time to think about it.

Then she looked at me with her eager eyes and began to spit her words out.

'This time, the branch in Noryangjin is expanding and hiring talented teachers. It’s okay even if you don’t have to be an exclusive…”

It seemed that he wanted to return to work after achieving any one of the instructions he received from the main office.

However.

First of all, the lecture is a separate issue from the franchise membership issue. And it was an important issue.

No matter how earnestly she looked at her, it would not be easy to make a decision, so I couldn't give her an answer right away.

‘Well, I will think about it and contact you. If you have any material for the lecture proposal, please give it to me.’

Having said that, I had no choice but to send her back.

And now.

Some time has passed since she returned.

In the meantime, I looked through her lecture proposals, which she had left behind, and pondered.And as a result.

'lets do it.'

He decided to accept the offer.

In fact, I was able to fill an academy more easily than I thought through my awareness and word-of-mouth that I had built up through Yotube broadcasting.

However, if you ask if my academy and I have a competitive edge in the full-fledged entrance exam market...

Well, you could say 'not yet'.

Of course, if there are many successful cases in our academy later on, we may occupy a unique position at that time, but

In any case, it has not been able to boast of achievements that will immediately catch the eyes of parents.

So, what is important to me now is not how to acquire and expand the current academy and how much money I will make, but how to create my competitiveness in the future.

Therefore, when I had some spare time due to the recruitment of Eunsol and Ji Hyung-nim, like now, it was necessary to replace that spare time with my competitiveness.

Besides.

‘Because the down payment comes in a lot of money.’

The amount of the exclusive contract that they are proposing is about 350 million won.

If she had talked about the lecture first and then the franchise later, it was an amount that she might have pretended to be winning.

Even if the number of students has increased and the monthly sales have risen sharply, it was tempting for me, who is worried about car installments and the cost of acquiring a private academy.

In addition, in order to draw a big picture in the future, it is necessary to learn and learn the system of a large academy in advance, and make it my own.

“·················ogue.”

But there was one catch.

As my time at the academy was running short, I couldn't pay more attention to the academy than before.

So, during that time, I needed someone I could trust who could take care of the academy in general for me.

Fortunately.

I had trustworthy people around me.

People who can't differentiate between superiority and inferiority when it comes to responsibility.

I turned my eyes to look at the people in the office.

Then I saw that each of them was immersed in their work in their seats.

The director is tapping the keyboard at a tremendous speed, and Jisung hyung is making math problems.

And even Eunsol, who is busy preparing for class with a calm complexion.

It was a sight that put a smile on his lips.

But then.

“Our teacher Eunsol is also new, so shouldn’t we do something?”

someone has spoken

When I turned around, Jisung hyung looked back at me and Eunsol and was smiling.

Then Eunsol and the director also changed their faces and looked at me.

I nodded my head willingly.

“Oh, so are you going to dinner today?”

Jisung said in a playful tone.

I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“Would you like to have a party? We have to do something better.”
