Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 52

Kim Cheol-soo signed a contract with Mariam and came to Korea.

And the next day, he went to work, and during the meeting, Ahn Jeong-gyu saw the contract that Kim Cheol-soo presented and a shout came out of his mouth.

“Hey! Assistant Manager Kim!!!”

“Yes! Team leader.”

“What’s wrong with the contract?”

In Western trading companies, trading, marketing, execution, pricing, rates, and risk management are all classified separately, so they do not have the right to make all decisions for a single business, but general trading companies in Korea and Japan give salespeople almost all authority. do.

So, it was the salesperson’s responsibility to decide what items to write in the contract, how to set margins, how to set costs, and how to calculate all costs, including purchase price, sea freight, inspection fees, and broker commissions.

“I was in a situation where I couldn’t ask for a fee.”

“Yanma! Oh my!”

Ahn Jeong-gyu could not continue speaking and sat down on the chair, holding the back of his neck.

Then, with a sigh, I re-read the absurd contract Kim Cheol-soo brought.

I checked the blank space in the fee section again and let out a long sigh.

“Oh my!”

If I had just paid the fee for this case, I could have achieved great results.

The thought that a great opportunity had been lost made me desperately think of cigarettes.

‘As expected, I wasn’t sending a rookie assistant manager.’

Now that the contract has been signed, Ahn Jeong-gyu sighs as he thinks about the cost of moving the company’s executives and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Lee Jun-hak, who looked at the contract, glared at Kim Cheol-soo and frowned.

“Assistant Manager Kim was so kind-hearted that he only made others do good things.”

Pyo Il-su also burst into laughter while looking at the contract.

“Hey, I didn’t know our Cheolsu had this kind of side. Did Buddha or Jesus possess him thanks to the long flight time?”

When Ahn Jeong-gyu heard the two people’s words, he became angry again and shouted at Kim Cheol-soo.

“Hey! You go over there and stand with your hands up!”

“Yes! Team leader!”

Without saying a word, Kim Cheol-soo went to the corner and raised his hand, and Pyo Il-soo giggled at the sight.

“You cute little bastard, are you doing what I tell you to do again?”

While Pyo Il-soo was laughing, Lee Jun-hak looked at Ahn Jung-gyu and said.

“We were not able to collect the $150 million fee, but by completing this project, we will be able to build trust with the Nigerian government and the Abacha family. In the long run, it will not be a loss-making business.”

“Ha! I know that, but! Ha. Damn you.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu sighed deeply again, feeling like the fee he thought he would get if he held out his hand disappeared before his eyes.

Afterwards, as per the terms of the contract, Korea-English Corporation linked up with the Nigerian Embassy under the leadership of Executive Director Choi Young-jun, and achieved a grand compromise between Mariam Abacha and the Obasanjo administration.

Instead of leaving Sani Abacha’s ill-gotten wealth intact, Mariam Abacha decided to invest $1.5 billion in relief projects for the poor in Abuja.

About three weeks passed like that.

– Ringing.

Kim Cheol-soo, who had finished talking with Gong Jeong-hoon, assistant manager of Hanyoung Logistics, about the third puff machine transport case, received an external phone call that rang while processing work emails.

– This is Kim Cheol-soo, assistant manager of Sales Team 5 at Hanyoung Trading Company.

But the person on the other line said nothing for a long time.

– hello? Hello?

– This is Mariam Abacha. You’re the Kim I met last time, right?

Kim Cheol-soo jumped up at the unexpected phone call.

Mariam’s voice was much stronger than when she spoke in Nigeria.

– ah! you’re right. Did you stay well?

– Your voice is still lively.

– Mariam’s voice also seems to have improved a lot.

The team members looked at Kim Cheol-soo’s surprised reaction, and when the name Mariam came out of his mouth, everyone rushed to Kim Cheol-soo’s side.

“Deputy Kim. Speaker.”

Hearing Ahn Jung-gyu’s words, Kim Cheol-soo quickly switched to speaker mode.

– Thanks to this, I am gaining weight little by little these days.

– I’m really glad you’re getting better.

– Negotiations ended well, and frozen bank funds returned to normal.

– ha ha ha. I already heard that it went well.

– okay.

Mariam said that and remained silent for a long time.

– All vines on the fence were removed.

– ah! Is that true?

– Instead of counting vine leaves, we decided to count the number of parentless children in the Toge region. The day that number becomes 0, Allah will take my life.

Kim Cheol-soo smiled brightly at Mariam’s words.

However, the other people had no idea what Kim Cheol-soo and Mariam were talking about.

– thank you. The value of the contract I wrote is finally appearing.

– The true gratitude must be mine. In that sense, I have a suggestion.

– Yes, go ahead.

– The Toge area is in need of overall development. So, I would like to entrust your company with construction work worth $300 million.

At Mariam’s words, Kim Cheol-su was speechless for a moment, as if something had hit his chest.

An Jeong-gyu, Pyo Il-soo, and Lee Jun-hak were looking at Kim Cheol-soo with their mouths wide open and expressions close to shock.

– If you suddenly say something like that…

– Thanks to Kim, I have a new perspective on life. I don’t know how to repay you for what you gave me. First, I will send this information in an official letter through my lawyer.

– All right. We will do our best.

– If you come to Nigeria, please contact me anytime.

– All right. Thank you so much for your favor.

– Okay, that’s enough.

The phone was hung up, and Ahn Jeong-gyu grabbed Kim Cheol-soo’s shoulders with both hands and turned him around.

“What does this mean?”

“Mariam Abacha says she wants to entrust us with $300 million worth of construction work.”

“No, what happened between you two?”

“Team leader! Don’t imagine anything strange. Mariam turns 40 this year.”

“But how can this happen?”

Kim Cheol-soo said with a grin at Ahn Jung-gyu’s words.

“It’s a trade secret, team leader!”

“Ah! You bastard!”

Pyo Il-soo walked shoulder to shoulder with Ahn Jung-gyu, who was still looking at Kim Cheol-soo with an absurd expression.

“Team leader, what are you doing now? Didn’t Cheolsu win the contract? Isn’t $300 million the largest single contract ever? If you’re doing that now, you’re missing the timing!”

At Pyo Il-su’s words, a big smile appeared on Ahn Jeong-gyu’s face.

Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo soon joined them, arm in arm, and began chanting for national independence for a long time.

“Hurray!!! Hurray!!!”

The growth rate is noticeable.

Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon heard the news that Hanyoung Corporation had signed a contract worth $300 million, the largest single contract since its founding, and personally visited the company to encourage its employees.

He then called President Yoo Ji-hoon and Executive Director Choi Young-jun separately and told them how the contract was won, and they burst into hearty laughter that was not usually seen in front of employees.

“Hahaha! Look at that. That guy worked hard to get the job done. If he hadn’t been in the position of assistant manager, he wouldn’t have been able to take on this contract in the first place, so President Yoo’s credit for specially promoting him a long time ago is huge. Also, he made it work properly through negotiations. “It must not have been an easy task, but it is Executive Director Choi’s credit for solving it properly. The second most responsible people in this case are President Yoo and Executive Director Choi.”

Yoo Ji-hoon and Choi Young-jun bowed their heads at Choi Kyung-hoon’s words.

“Thank you, Chairman.”

“thank you.”

Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Yoo Ji-hoon, who was called the ace in the group, and then looked away.

He then smiled happily as he saw Choi Young-jun, who personally went to Nigeria and led negotiations between Mariam Abacha and the Nigerian government.

‘It looks like you’ve finally come to your senses. ‘I’ll have to watch.’

“If $300 million is what percentage of this year’s sales?”

Yoo Ji-hoon answered Choi Kyung-hoon’s question right away.

“Including this case, the company’s sales this year are expected to be around 4.5621 trillion won. And $300 million is approximately 9.8%.”

“How many employees does Hanyoung General Trading have?”

“There are 1,826 people.”

Choi Kyung-hoon looked satisfied with Yoo Ji-hoon’s answer.

In terms of numbers, Yoo Ji-hoon was no different from other talented people in the group.

“Are you saying that the new employee alone raised 9.8% of the company’s sales?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“I see. How should the group manage a guy with such achievements?”

The thing that Kyung-Hoon Choi focused most on when evaluating people was performance.

When Park Jun-hyung had just reached the rank of assistant manager, he signed a contract worth $100 million with Saudi Arabia, which caught the eye of Choi Kyeong-hoon, and it was from then on that his rapid promotion began.

However, Kim Cheol-soo won a contract worth $300 million less than a year after joining the company.

Among the executives currently running the Hanyoung Group, there was not a single person who had the same performance as Kim Cheol-soo when he was a new employee.

After contemplating for a moment, Yu Ji-hoon cautiously opened his mouth.

“I think it would be a good idea to send training to the human resource center in the first half of next year.”

Human Resources Development Center (Human Resources Development Center).

It was an organization that selected about 20 elite employees from the Hanyoung Group every year and provided special training.

Once you received training here, you were given special treatment to the extent that you were given a guaranteed check for an executive position, and Park Jun-hyung also received training here the year after he signed a $100 million contract.

It was a place where I could dramatically increase my network, as I was given many opportunities to meet and talk with the group’s powerful figures in person.

“Hehe. I think the same thing. A guy like that should be raised at the group level.”

Following the shortest promotion to assistant manager since the founding of Hanyoung General Trading Company, if he goes to the Talent Center next year, he will become the youngest person to receive training since the founding of Hanyoung Group.

Kim Cheol-soo was breaking all records of the Korean-English group.

“I understand, Chairman.”

“Like last time, we are being very lax during salary negotiations to prevent these idiots from stealing our talent.”

“Yes. We will treat you commensurate with your performance this year.”

“Good. President Yu will go out, and Executive Director Choi will stay for a while.”

Yoo Ji-hoon, who bowed deeply toward Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon, quietly turned and left the office.

– Sweet.

Yoo Ji-hoon’s expression was complex as he silently closed the door.

‘I can’t believe the Chairman himself came and said something that would come out of the secretary’s office. ‘You think so highly of Kim Cheol-soo.’

As Yoo Ji-hoon walked toward the hallway with a cold expression, Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Choi Young-jun and opened his mouth.

“Kim Cheol-soo, what do you think?”

In response to Choi Kyeong-hoon’s sudden question, Choi Young-jun thought for a moment about the intention of his father’s question, then opened his mouth.

“He is a very talented employee. I also have high expectations.”

“What about humanity?”

Choi Youngjun was momentarily speechless when suddenly asked how his personality was.

This was because I had never met Kim Cheol-soo in person.

Choi Gyeong-hoon frowned slightly as he looked at Choi Young-jun who couldn’t answer.

“I would have told you to raise him well and use him, right?”

“Your skills are sufficient…”

“When I said to use it well, I meant to raise him as your confidant. If you want to raise him as your confidant, you have to know every single detail of his daily life! Can you win people’s hearts if you are that indifferent?”

“I will pay more attention, father.”

As Choi Young-jun lowered his head, Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue.

“Agh! The boy told me not to bow my head in front of others.”

Choi Kyung-hoon always didn’t like how Choi Young-jun bowed his head easily.

On the other hand, Youngjun Choi, while working at Hanyoung General Trading Company, experienced first-hand that a lot can be achieved just by bowing one’s head.

“Now I plan to take it my way. Even if my father says so, I will stick to it.”

A completely different reaction than before.

Choi Gyeong-hoon glanced at Choi Young-jun at his stubborn words.

Running a business requires perseverance.

The higher you rise, the more people there are to give you advice.

But giving advice and making a choice are two completely different things.

Choi Kyung-hoon had seen many people who did not have their own standards end up being buried under a wave of advice and were unable to make consistent choices, so he believed that it was not appropriate to appoint such a person as a manager.

‘Hmm, so you’ve developed your own beliefs?’

I didn’t like the way the guy who was supposed to dominate in front of people was so prone to bowing his head, but I quite liked the way he stood up for himself.

“Are you planning on taking that as a weapon?”

“Yes. The world is changing. I think we no longer live in an era where only strong charisma works. Everyone in the world is someone’s precious person, and anyone who tries to rule over them just because they have a high social status or a lot of money will face great hostility in the future. “I will buy it.”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Youngjun Choi spoke again.

“If you don’t get respect, you can’t get outstanding people, and if you don’t have outstanding people, the Hanyoung Group won’t be able to become a better company. I want my subordinates to be respected and, as a result, be loyal and work harder. So, I will continue to do so in the future. “I am ready to bow my head in front of anyone.”

I thought he was getting better little by little, but Choi Youngjun was growing as if he was climbing the stairs a couple of steps at a time.

‘The growth rate is so noticeable. It’s a different direction than I expected, though.’

Choi Gyeong-hoon quietly drank his tea without expressing much in response to Choi Young-jun’s answer, and then suddenly changed the topic.

“Do you know who Hye-na is dating?”

Since her father was always worried about the free-spirited Choi Hye-na, the question did not seem too strange.

Youngjun Choi recalled the words he shared with his youngest brother.

– So, I’m so angry that I’m about to explode. Are you going to attack me?

“I know I like someone, but I don’t know who.”

Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue again at those words.

“If you’re going to do anything, do it right. If you’re going to take care of your youngest child, you should definitely take care of him.”

“Yes. I will be more careful in the future. By the way, does your father know who Hye-na is seeing?”

“okay.”

While Choi Young-jun was thinking about the flow of the story, he remembered that Choi Gyeong-hoon had asked about Kim Cheol-soo’s personality.

While talking about employee Kim Cheol-soo, why does Hye-na suddenly appear?

After putting together the puzzle in his head for a moment, Youngjun Choi opened his eyes wide.

“No way! Are you employee Kim Cheol-soo?”

**

Planning office.

Junhyung Park quietly looked down through the window at the road where cars were running.

I took a picture of one of the cars and tried to guess where it would go, but the car went in a completely different direction than expected.

The bait thrown with the intention of ending Ahn Jeong-gyu ended up improving Ahn Jung-gyu’s performance.

Apparently, nothing like this had ever happened until last year.

Everything was going as he intended, but starting this year, he was helping Ahn Jeong-gyu in everything he did.

The only difference between last year and this year in Sales Team 5 was the arrival of employee Kim Cheol-soo.

‘It’s Kim Cheol-soo..’

What Kim Cheol-soo did has already become a rumor and has spread throughout the company.

Because of this contract, even the minority of public opinion that was somewhat negative about Kim Cheol-soo’s special promotion has completely disappeared.

It was as if everyone had silently agreed that there would be no problem with Kim Cheol-soo being promoted to the position of assistant manager.

– smart.

Park Jun-hyung turned around at the sound of a knock, and the secretary spoke through the slightly open door.

“Manager, the boss has arrived.”

Park Jun-hyung calmly organized his clothes and bowed deeply to Yoo Ji-hoon, who was just entering through the wide open door.

“Welcome, boss.”

“is it so.”

Yoo Ji-hoon took a look around Park Jun-hyung’s office as he came in.

Unlike Jeong Se-yang, who had all sorts of awards and things to show off, Park Jun-hyung’s office felt a bit bare, with nothing but basic items.

“What brings you here?”

“I came to have a cup of tea with Director Park.”

As Yoo Ji-hoon sat down on the sofa with a smile, Park Jun-hyung gestured to his secretary to quickly serve tea and sat down on the sofa.

“The resource development team, which will be created only after the reorganization, has already achieved results, so the company is good and the planning office is also good. The chairman is also very happy about this contract.”

“Oh, is that so? It’s all thanks to the boss’ excellent insight.”

Yoo Ji-hoon responded to Park Jun-hyung’s words with a smile.

“The insight is all of Director Park’s responsibility. If it weren’t for Director Park, would Hanyoung Corporation have hired Cheol-soo Kim as an employee?”

“Ahaha… no, boss.”

“Wasn’t it Director Park who even assigned employee Kim Cheol-soo to Sales Team 5?”

“……..”

“Thanks to this, Executive Director Choi Young-jun and Team Leader Ahn Jung-gyu are in a very successful situation.”

Although he was still smiling, Park Jun-hyung felt cold sweat seeping down his back at the last, thorny words.

‘Are you doubting me?’

Yoo Ji-hoon’s soft voice reached the ears of Park Jun-hyung, who was turning his head with his head down.

“Director Park,”

Yoo Ji-hoon looked at Park Jun-hyung quietly and then opened his mouth again.

“You’re mine, right?”

In response to Yoo Ji-hoon’s question, Park Jun-hyung quickly knelt down, and the secretary who was bringing in the tea saw him and quietly left the office again.

“Of course. I have been following only the boss from the beginning.”

“It would be very difficult for a nobleman like that to act like this. Why would I put Executive Director Park in this position? Isn’t this meant to keep Executive Director Choi, who is aiming for my position, in check?”

“Yes! Boss. I understand.”

Park Jun-hyung bit his lip.

Park Jun-hyung’s loyalty to Yoo Ji-hoon was sincere.

They continued to try to bring down Executive Director Choi, but nothing worked.

Kim Cheol-soo is at the center of it all.

Even while looking at Park Jun-hyung’s stiff face, Yoo Ji-hoon still did not lose his smile.

“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo will enter the Human Resources Development Center next year.”

“You mean the Human Resources Development Institute?”

“Yes. I suggested it.”

Park Jun-hyung momentarily guessed what Yoo Ji-hoon was thinking, but he did not show it and looked at Yoo Ji-hoon with a concerned expression and trembling eyes.

It looks like Yoo Ji-hoon is doubting himself, but Park Jun-hyung can’t figure out why.

In this case, the best way to avoid provoking the other person was to look as dumb as possible and remain as low-key as possible.

“Then wouldn’t it be like giving Wings to Executive Director Choi?”

Yoo Ji-hoon chuckled and said at Park Jun-hyung’s words.

“Do you not know? Or are you just pretending not to know?”

“yes?”

“Didn’t Managing Director Park also want to be transferred to the group headquarters at that time?”

“ah!”

Park Jun-hyung nodded with an exclamation as if he had finally figured it out.

“If Assistant Manager Kim’s skills are real, he will achieve good results in the talent pool. The successors to the next chairman of Hanyoung Group are trying hard to attract talented people, and Assistant Manager Kim will be a good card for them.”

“Ah, that’s how we can get rid of Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo from Korea-English Trading Company.”

Yoo Ji-hoon clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Tsk. Do you really think that?”

Yoo Ji-hoon spoke while looking at Park Jun-hyung, who looked like he had no idea what was being said.

“If you have that level of ability, wouldn’t it be the person I serve rather than Executive Director Choi?”

“iced coffee…”

Park Jun-hyung shook his head.

“That’s what we plan to do, so please be considerate for the time being and get used to working in the planning office.”

“Yes, I understand, boss.”

“The car must be getting cold.”

Hearing Yoo Ji-hoon’s words, Park Jun-hyung quickly stood up.
