Episode 19. Catch the export ship.(1)

When I stopped by the company the next afternoon, Manager Jeong was sitting in the same shirt as the day before.

“.. Manager Jung. Did you not come home yesterday?”

He looked at me with eyes full of dark circles.

“The server has returned to normal, but we had to wait and see what would happen if there were more users.”

Such a savvy person Do you stay up all night though?

I called the accountant.

“Han-mi sister.”

“Please shoot only 500,000 won into the account of Manager Jung here. The title is performance pay.”

Director Jung put on a bewildered expression on his face.

“.. Director. Thank you for your words, but I am not an employee here.”

Oh man, I thought I was almost over this way.

I can’t get over it yet, right?

“So? Is there a law that prohibits payment of bonuses to people who have been dispatched to work?”

“..not so.”

“Then take it. I’m giving it because I want to give it, and it’s not a bribe because you worked hard last night.”

“Would you like to cancel?”

“..no.”

At 500,000 won, it was about half of what he received from Hongin Media.

It was a lot for what I was getting for working overtime, but it wasn’t a huge amount.

As I said, it’s not even a bribe, so it must have been a bit of a waste to refuse.

“Then that’s it. Take it and leave work today.”

“It’s still working hours.”

“It is enough that you worked all night yesterday. Don’t be stubborn and go to work.”

“…All right. thank you.”

Manager Jeong stood up from his seat with an awkward expression.

Is it my misunderstanding that the back of Manager Jeong, who leaves the seat with a face that he can’t help it, looks light?

He thinks it’s only one time.

It is difficult to get money once, but it is not difficult from the second time.

So when it became natural to receive the money I gave.

He will have to be mine.

“Daewon hyung. How many P-32s went out today?”

“500 in the morning, another 300 before you came.”

It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing that the shopping mall site went down yesterday.

Rumors that the shopping mall server was down because of the P-32 spread through PC communications, and the popularity of the P-32 skyrocketed.

At the same time, the sales of the shopping mall increased significantly.

Thanks to that, considering that 500 P-32s went out yesterday, 1300 had already been sold.

It greatly exceeded the 400-500 daily sales I had expected.

The only thing I couldn’t like is that at this rate of sales, production could not keep up with demand.

It seemed that the work to raise the yield of the existing process and the work to increase the production equipment had to be done at the same time.

‘Our boss, Unjin Kim. you’re gonna die I apologize in advance.’

It was August.

Unfortunately, I did not get a full score in the first semester final exam because I made a mistake in one question.

The overall ranking was also 1st this time.

As long as Oh Jeong-gi was gone, there were no more enemies in Wooil High.

Thanks to this, even the palms were able to fall proudly,

During summer vacation when there were no classes, I could be out of the office in the morning.

The P-32, a portable MP3 player, ran out of 10,000 pre-prepared units within a week of release.

Since then, it has been produced and sold immediately in real time.

As expected, production rates were not keeping up with demand.

In PC communications, praise for the P-32 was overflowing.

– Ariha: We took it to our Fizumi school, surrounded by Chingudri.

– Three chins: Ching-goo-keop-daeng-heop-yeopg. I bought it too.

– Ahhing: Fizmi 🅚 oh -_-)=b

Suddenly, the P-32 was nicknamed Fism because it resembled the shape of a prism in the model name P.

Demand outstripped production, and the used price of the P-32 was on the verge of being sold at a higher price than the new one.

The funny thing is that most of the second-hand sales were also traded through our shopping mall.

Thanks to this, the number of visitors to the shopping mall increased day by day, and we had to increase the number of servers once again.

As the number of users increased rapidly, Manager Jung couldn’t manage it alone, so he created a separate computer team.

Manager Jeong, who is dispatched to work, is the team leader.

It was a strange organization in which the employees of Damoye belonged under it.

Manager Jeong himself was already accustomed to Damoye’s work to the extent that he did not find it strange.

Now, even if Manager Jung wants to return to Hongin Media, it is said that the atmosphere is not easy to do so.

‘I think it’s just a matter of time for Manager Jung to move to this side. P-32 production should be increased quickly.’

I found Highcast CEO Kim Woon-jin.

“Chief Kim. How far has the P-32 production increased?”

“..SMT equipment has not arrived yet, so it is currently only about 30% progressed.”

too late.

Now, the P-32 craze is blowing enough to sell them even if they double the production, but only 30%.

SMT (Surface Mounting Technology) is a process in which electronic devices required to play MP3 are placed on a plastic plate and connected to each other.

It was also an important process.

Above all, it took a long time to make the equipment.

But with that in mind, I told President Kim to prepare in advance.

By now, I thought that SMT equipment would come in and be in production for a while.

“Why aren’t those SMT devices coming in?”

At my question, President Kim hesitated and opened his mouth.

“..the order came in a little late, so yes.”

‘This person is really.’

A sigh came out.

“If I told you to increase production, you didn’t trust my judgment and deliberately delayed the order, right?”

President Kim could not answer whether it was the correct answer.

This can’t just be skipped over.

He looked at President Kim and continued.

“Chief Kim. Do you remember the contents of our contract? If I sell 20,000 units a month, I have management rights. If you intentionally obstruct the achievement of this condition, it is a clear obstruction of business. You can also file a complaint with the prosecution. ”

When even the prosecution was brought up, President Kim’s face was stained with earth.

“no. Director. It was absolutely not intentional. But I stopped because I didn’t have enough faith in the director at the time. sorry. ”

I deliberately hesitated a little before answering.

“Then, I’ll just skip this one time.”

Kim’s face brightened.

“thank you. Director. I will never make that mistake again.”

“Please do the work to increase production as soon as possible. The popularity of the P-32 is not going to last forever.”

That evening.

I had something to say to my uncle, so I went home early after a long time.

When I got home, my aunt was preparing dinner.

My aunt glanced at my face and asked.

“Are you here? The wind is blowing today, so it’s warm early?”

“just. I suddenly wanted to see Ms. Soon.”

“…and stop talking nonsense. Have you stayed for dinner?”

Hey, the corners of your mouth are raised like that, but you pretend it’s okay.

My aunt, you have something very cute.

“Of course I didn’t. Give me some food too.”

“It will be over soon. You should open up your table or something.”

When dinner was almost ready, my uncle opened the door and came in.

“Hey, did you have any luck? What are you doing today? ”

“What day? I came here to have dinner with my uncle after a long time.”

“okay? Do you have anything to say?”

You are also sharp

“I have something to say.”

“What? tell me.”

“You have a quick temper. I’ll tell you slowly over dinner.”

“Well, whatever.”

After a while.

“(Laughs) Wow, Ms. Soon. Miso soup is delicious. Did you mix it with cheonggukjang?”

“Is it delicious? Because you like cheonggukjang, I added it.”

“Very tasty.”

“okay? happy day My stay.”

When the bowl was half empty, I asked my uncle.

“uncle. You said you have a big deal next month? Are you okay?”

“A big deal?”

“yes. Didn’t you say you were exporting pears to America?”

“uh? How do you know that?”

“I heard it a few days ago while passing by a large room.”

I knew the truth because I had heard my uncle lament over and over in my previous life.

If I had enough money, I would have made a lot of money by exporting ships to the United States.

“Did I say that? Anyway, that has nothing to do with me.”

“A small wholesaler like me cannot get involved in a big thing like exporting to the US. There is such a thing as a basic amount, so you have to have at least 100 million won to be eligible to participate.”

“So, you’re saying that if you have money, your uncle can intervene?”

“It is not. But where do I get that money? It’s a pity, but not worth it. ”

A yangban, who must have felt regret inside, pretended to be okay.

Now is the time to get the topic out of the way?

“uncle. I think I can give you that 100 million. How about taking part in it once?”

If this goes on, my uncle will go bankrupt during the IMF financial crisis and end his life with huge debts.

Since I can’t see it twice, I thought I’d write my hand in advance.

Uncle asked with a surprised face.

“What did you just say? Are you going to give me a million dollars?”

“yes. That 100 million, I have it.”

Thanks to the popularity of the P-32, the shopping mall was known to the public and sales increased significantly.

Just last month, the shopping mall alone generated a net profit of just over 1 billion won.

Hi-Cast also recovered its initial investment and turned to the black within a month of its release.

Watching the speed at which the P-32 is being sold.

Knowing the future, I was surprised too.

After the increase in production was completed, it seemed to be able to sell more than double the target of 20,000 units per month.

Within a few months, it seems that the revenue from Highcast will exceed that of the shopping mall, so I was able to confirm once again that my choice was correct.

My uncle put on a look of disbelief.

“How do you say you have 100 million?”

“My company is doing pretty well these days.”

“Your company? At that time, the company that made the pandas for the Musin assembly computer?”

“yes. Now, it’s more of an online shopping mall than an assembly computer sales company.”

“Online shopping mall? What is that?”

“Well, I mean, do you mean a virtual store where you can buy things from your computer at home?”

“Are you buying things with a computer? virtual shop? What does all that mean?”

It would be unreasonable to make my uncle understand right away.

“It’s not that important. uncle. Anyway, the fact that my business has been doing well, so I can now give my uncle 100 million won, or even more. That’s what matters.”

“..how long have you been working now?”

“It’s now August, so it’s been about five months.”

“You mean you made 100 million won in 5 months?”

“It’s not a billion dollars. I made a little more than that.”

Uncle was speechless, unable to speak immediately.
