21. Last Competitive Race (1)
Myungjin Construction Headquarters.
Director Kim Cheol-jin walked quickly.
People who recognized him got up from their seats and bowed their heads, but Kim Cheol-jin passed through the hallway, waving his hand without even accepting a greeting. Greetings didn’t matter to him right now. The moment he received news that had not yet been officially announced, a shiver ran from his toes.
Shocked-
I opened the door and entered.
“Director Kim Cheol-jin?”
“Is something wrong?”
People gathered in groups of twos and threes.
At the head of the conference room, Managing Director Koh Chang-beom, whom Kim Cheol-jin currently follows, looked suspicious.
towards him.
Kim Cheol-jin shouted as if he was cheering.
“Manager. “We succeeded!”
“What do you mean?”
“The government has finally officially announced the relocation to Sejong City! “The trick really worked!”
“yes?!”
That moment.
Without even knowing who was first, everyone got up from their seats and hugged each other.
It was certain.
Hwaryongjeomjeong (畫龍點睛).
It was a moment that made a clear impact in the fierce competition for successor.
* * *
Several months ago now.
When Go Chang-beom talked about the ‘villa complex’ plan, Go Chang-seok made harsh criticism.
“Director Go Chang-beom. I understand the intention behind planning a villa complex, but this construction business we do is not about scooping water and praying. What on earth are you going to do with buying 20,000 pyeong of blank land in a situation where you don’t know whether major ministries will really be relocated or whether the industrial complex will be established? “If even one plan goes awry, no one will move into a villa complex built in a remote location.”
It was sound advice.
Go Chang-seok delved into important issues, but Go Chang-beom had already created a logic for situations like this.
“This villa complex is not a business that simply benefits from ‘good news.’ In the first place, purchasing land in an appropriate location at the price of blank land is the first benefit, and good news is just an expectation of additional profits in a situation where profits have already been made. Even if the good news is not actually applied, this business cannot be considered a loss. The road plan is practically in the process of counting down, and considering the access to Daesan and Seoul, there is definitely a demand for this location. Still, do you think this project is reckless, Team Leader Ko Chang-seok?”
Between the two.
A hierarchical relationship existed.
Go Chang-seok could not hide his discomfort at Go Chang-beom’s slightly coercive remarks that seemed to look down on his opponent.
This place.
Important people were watching.
In particular, Go Chang-seok immediately refuted the presence of Go Myeong-jin sitting at the head of the table.
“If it was a year ago, what the Managing Director said cannot be considered wrong. But what is the current situation of Myungjin Construction? As safety issues rapidly emerged during the real estate boom, people are lining up to buy Myungjin Construction’s buildings. So, instead of dwelling on something like Bali that doesn’t make money, shouldn’t we start a business that makes money? Above all, while investing a large amount of manpower in large-scale residential complexes, we cannot afford to turn our attention to villa complexes. “Doesn’t someone like the managing director even know that?”
“So I’m not saying we’re going to raise it right away, but we’re saying we’re going to buy the land first. From the perspective of an executive like me who runs a construction company, cheap and appropriately located land is available at any time. “I wish team leader Go Chang-seok could see the forest instead of the trees.”
“Director Go Chang-beom!”
“why? “Am I wrong?”
I crossed the line.
A person who becomes a managing director or something.
It was a statement that could only have been made by the royal family.
When Go Chang-beom also pointed out the difference in rank, the atmosphere in the conference room became cold.
It was an atmosphere where no one seemed to back down.
Since it was a matter of succession competition in the first place, Chairman Ko Myung-jin, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.
“Director Chang-Beom Ko. This villa complex is a project under ‘your name’, but can you handle the results? The successes and failures you gain from the villa complex are all yours. “It means that you are now pioneering a new business on your own, in a situation where you can achieve good results if you successfully build a large-scale residential complex.”
It was a blatant question.
An acceptable result.
I asked if he was digging his own grave for no reason now that he was likely to become chairman if things were going well.
I was at a crossroads of choice.
Go Chang-beom did not worry.
Not as the idiot Ko Chang-beom, but as the managing director of Myungjin Construction.
The decision had already been made.
“Please believe me, Chairman. “I will not disappoint your expectations.”
* * *
It was truly a festival.
Just like a few months ago, at the meeting where all the executives were gathered, Director Kim Cheol-jin reported in a very excited voice.
“At the same time as the government announced the relocation of major ministries to Sejong City, plans for a large-scale industrial complex were also announced, causing nearby land prices to fluctuate. The total amount we spent to purchase the villa complex land was 7 billion won. 1,000 pyeong of land attached to the road was purchased at 1 million won per pyeong using the asking price, and 20,000 pyeong of vacant land was purchased for 300,000 won per pyeong. In fact, I was able to see a deal at a lower price considering that it was a blank lot, but the seller may have had strange thoughts about the fact that he wanted a blank lot, so I completed the transaction quickly. And now that good news has been announced. The estimated price per pyeong for the 21,000 pyeong area planned for the villa complex is at least 200. In other words, the price of the land alone is expected to be around 42 billion won, even though the villa has not been built yet. “If villas are built, major ministries are relocated, and industrial complexes are established, the average price will rise even higher than it is now.”
There was strength in my voice.
After finishing the report, Director Kim Cheol-jin looked at Chairman Ko Myeong-jin, who was sitting at the head of the table, with a triumphant expression.
I delivered a message to him.
A strong message that Managing Director Koh Chang-beom achieved this feat of making a profit of at least 30 billion won from the land price alone.
The atmosphere was uplifting.
In fact, if you proceed with a large-scale residential complex, you will see a profit of more than 30 billion won, but the important thing is that you have made a huge profit by judging favorable factors and geographical uniqueness in advance. From Myungjin Construction’s perspective, they couldn’t help but be pleased with the pumpkin that rolled in.
Chairman Ko Myung-jin said.
“Director Chang-Beom Ko. “No, Changbeom.”
“Yes, father.”
It was a warm voice.
As Go Chang-beom lowered his head and showed a listening attitude, Go Myeong-jin showed his eyes as warm as his voice.

“All this time, I thought of you as a sore finger. My son, who looked like me, had no intention of following in my footsteps and was causing accidents every day. No matter how much the company grew, there was never a day when I felt at peace. But I can’t believe you’ve grown so wonderfully. I am so proud of you for not being blinded by immediate profits, but for finding new business items for the company and making them successful. I said it before. “In this business, the responsibility for failure is all yours, and the results when it succeeds are also yours.”
The atmosphere was strange.
Go Chang-seok showed anxious eyes.
His people were equally anxious.
just as expected.
Go Myung-jin mentioned something that should never be said.
“There is no need to worry anymore. So far, Myungjin Construction has been shaking due to an unstable succession structure, but starting today, it will root out its worries. My son, the eldest son of the Go family, has handled the matter so successfully, so there is no need to worry any further. I will announce it here. The next chairman of Myungjin Construction, who will succeed me… … .”
thud.
Go Chang-seok’s heart sank.
“This is Managing Director Go Chang-beom.”
* * *
Jump up.
“It’s not possible!”
Go Chang-seok got up from his seat.
In a situation where his anxiety had become a reality, he shouted in a very excited voice.
“father! This really isn’t it! Go Chang-beom, what did that bastard do that was so amazing? I admit that the land was purchased cheaply, but aren’t issues like relocating major ministries just a lottery result? It is unreasonable to rate Go Chang-beom higher than me based on these achievements. While Go Chang-beom was drinking alcohol with women every day, didn’t I go to a prestigious university and join Myungjin Construction to gradually prove my abilities?”
“Changseok. “Accept reality.”
“father!”
Quang!
Chairman Ko Myung-jin slammed the desk.
The warm eyes suddenly disappeared, and the sharp eyes of the chairman turned towards Go Chang-seok.
“You seem to be mistaken, but you didn’t choose Changbeom simply because he achieved ‘results.’ When Changbeom presented an item called a villa complex to bring new benefits to the company. How did you react? Changbeom’s plan was not to wait for unstable good news, but to start with, the profits from the land alone were enough to be profitable. But you. Instead of worrying about what kind of benefit it would bring to the company, he showed unconditional opposition for fear that Changbeom would receive even the slightest benefit. So I made a decision. “Because I think Changbeom, who thinks about the company, not you, is more suitable for the position of chairman.”
“Well, that is!”
I was speechless.
It wasn’t wrong.
Seeing Go Chang-seok unable to say anything, Chairman Go Myeong-jin’s eyes scanned the conference room.
“Managing Director Koh Chang-beom proved his abilities through this incident. In addition, the company responded appropriately when safety issues arose, and has already received positive evaluations from outside sources. What do you think? “Do you think my eldest son is unfit to be president even though he has achieved this much?”
“no.”
“I 100% agree with what you said, Chairman.”
“Yes, this is a reasonable decision. “Changbeom taking over the chairmanship is a trend that everyone can’t help but agree with.”
The atmosphere was overwhelming.
Go Chang-seok’s people.
We could not bear to send support fire.
In a situation where the trend was already tilted, I had no intention of incurring Go Chang-beom’s hatred by adding more words.
Go Myeong-jin was cruel.
If the successor competition is over.
I also knew how to deal with it going forward.
“For Myungjin Construction, one legitimate successor is enough. Changseok. It’s been hard all this time. As of tomorrow, you can leave Myungjin Construction and live your own life. This company, which has a perfect system, will no longer need another successor. Of course, I recognize the dedication you have shown so far and will reward you appropriately. Just be satisfied with that.”
* * *
The meeting is over.
Go Chang-seok, who hurriedly left the conference room, held on to the emergency staircase railing and exhaled harshly.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
I was out of breath.
I couldn’t breathe properly.
“f*ck, does this make sense? How much have I done so far? “Does it make any sense to kick me out like this?”
From a very young age.
Go Chang-seok instinctively knew.
His father loved Go Chang-beom more than himself, and he knew that if he didn’t work hard, he wouldn’t even be given a chance to compete. So he studied hard. When Go Chang-beom had an accident and lived a meaningless life, he suffered a nosebleed and entered a prestigious university.
From some moment.
He became his father’s pride.
Every time his father took him to an important event, Go Chang-seok felt like he was living a successful life.
however.
Everything collapsed.
Just like the anxious feelings I felt as a child, I eventually passed everything on to Go Chang-beom.
“father. I cannot accept this result. Go Chang -bum, I don’t know if the dog is better than me in the first place, but now I can’t give it a little bit of mind. This company. This building is. I deserve to inherit it. “It’s not Go Chang-beom, it’s Go Chang-seok!”
Quang!
I hit the railing.
I was out of breath.
As my mind became clearer, I felt as if air was slowly filling my lungs.
‘I really didn’t want to use this.’
Really what if.
A weapon to use if cornered.
Even though he used all kinds of dirty tricks, he never revealed this to save this one until the very end.
There was nothing I could do now.
Isn’t it the end of a cliff?
Go Chang-seok took out his cell phone and called someone.
Take off.
“Reporter, why don’t you have lunch for the first time in a while?”
