Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 57

Friday morning, December 24th.

Kim Cheol-soo created a thick report and reported it to Manager Shin Kyeong-mi.

Shin Kyeong-mi, who finished reading the report in silence for a long time, looked at Kim Cheol-soo with a slightly surprised expression.

Report without typos.

A report full of useful content without unnecessary details.

There was nothing to complain about, and in particular, the recording of field observations seemed to be important in selecting a construction company.

Although he was given the rank of assistant manager, it was not a report that could be made by a beginner who had only started working after graduating from college for less than a year and who did not know how things worked on the construction floor.

‘Does anyone get any tutoring?’

This was the thought that came to Shin Gyeong-mi’s mind after reviewing the report.

“Good. “I think we can go to the meeting right away.”

“Then let’s take a conference room, Manager Shin.”

“is it so.”

Kim Cheol-soo quickly contacted the management support team, reserved an empty conference room, and was printing five copies of the report when the company phone rang.

– Yes, this is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Team 5.

– This is Youngjun Choi. Please answer without titles. If someone hears it, they might hate it because they feel like they are getting special treatment.

– ah! yes.

– Come up to my room when you have time in the afternoon. You didn’t forget your promise last time, right?

– All right.

I don’t know if I can control it

“That is all.”

Kim Cheol-soo gave a brief briefing for 10 minutes using the materials he had created.

Shin Kyeong-mi, who was continuously looking through the data on her laptop while listening to the briefing, fiddled with her left little finger and opened her mouth.

“The city and city construction department changed the bid amount.”

According to the data investigated by Kim Cheol-soo, city-state construction and Dongseok construction seemed to be the best.

Although Jinyang Construction was positioned somewhere between the two construction companies, it did not receive a single overseas order.

He was excluded from the selection due to lack of overseas construction experience.

Looking at the construction capability evaluation alone, city and provincial construction ranked 9th and Dongseok construction ranked 32nd, which was not a game.

However, looking at the on-site evaluation report, Dongseok construction was given a much better score than provincial construction, and above all, it had the lowest bid amount.

Ahn Jeong-gyu opened his mouth.

“How much has it changed?”

“We changed it from $250 million to $230 million.”

“It is safe to say that there is no difference since the construction of the copper stone costs $220 million.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu, who had been leaning towards the construction of soapstone, looked worried.

Ahn Jeong-gyu tapped the table with his fingers and spoke to Shin Kyeong-mi.

“Why did they change the bid amount?”

At those words, Shin Kyeong-mi thought of Oh Dong-hoon, whom she had met two days ago.

“I don’t think the intention is to simply take charge of construction.”

At those words, Ahn Jeong-gyu fixed his gaze on Shin Kyeong-mi.

“What do you mean?”

“Hanyoung Corporation has the ability to receive construction orders, but does not have the ability to directly carry out the construction. And because the city and city construction industry has not had a good track record of receiving overseas construction orders recently…”

“So you want to sign a partnership?”

“yes. manager.”

“Did you meet with the official there?”

Shin Kyeong-mi looked at Ahn Jeong-gyu for a moment after hearing those words.

The image of a college student who tutored students with a sly attitude has disappeared, and instead, he has become a businessman with a keen sense of humor.

“yes. We were classmates in college. However, I did not receive entertainment as the team leader feared.”

At those words, Ahn Jeong-gyu nodded lightly.

“I wish you would have said that in advance.”

“We will do that in the future.”

“It’s a partnership. “What are the advantages of doing that?”

“You can leave a bigger margin. However, construction quality may be difficult to guarantee.”

Pyo Il-su, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“If you can make a bigger margin, shouldn’t you go for it?”

“hmm.”

As Ahn Jeong-gyu pondered again, Lee Jun-hak, who was next to him, spoke.

“Since the construction work has been completely entrusted to us, I think it is right to go in a direction that will maximize performance, as Deputy Director Pyo said.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu, who heard Lee Jun-hak’s words, thought again and asked Shin Gyeong-mi.

“In your opinion, Manager Shin, how much margin do you think we can make if we enter into a partnership with city and city construction in this case?”

“This construction is being carried out in Nigeria, where construction laws are not properly in place. We can take up to 50% margin plus 35%. “That leaves approximately $100 million.”

“Sido takes $50 million?”

“yes. manager.”

“$100 million is equivalent to our performance this year. City construction seems like a good choice, team leader.”

Lee Jun-hak spoke with confidence, and Pyo Il-soo also agreed with Lee Jun-hak’s words.

If this happens, 200% of this year’s target performance will be exceeded.

The resulting incentives will exceed billions of won.

“What about Manager Shin?”

“It’s not a bad choice if you only think about performance.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who is in charge of half of this project, and asked.

“What do you think, Assistant Manager Kim?”

Kim Cheol-soo scratched his head for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“I think a little differently. In this case, I think we should focus on the construction itself rather than the performance.”

“Why?”

“I’ll upload one more piece of data.”

At the word “data,” all team members’ eyes turned to the screen.

“This is the state of Nigeria’s oil fields. If you look closely, they are distributed in the Niger River Delta. Most of these oil fields have already been developed and are in production. Recently, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) increased the production quota for Nigeria’s NNPC (Nigeria National Petroleum Company) last year, but production could not keep up, so now there are calls for the company to withdraw from OPEC.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu stroked his chin and focused on Kim Cheol-soo.

“So the Nigerian government is continuing to explore oil fields in the Gulf of Guinea to encourage foreign participation, and may soon begin bidding for oil field development. Korea has a large construction company in charge of oil field development in the Middle East, but has not been able to win a single order in Africa. “I think we need to look further ahead considering our relationship with the Abacha family, which holds the most money in Nigeria.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu burst into laughter at those words.

“Huh!”

Lee Jun-hak and Pyo Il-su listened with their arms crossed and nodded, while Shin Kyeong-mi opened her eyes and stared intently at the data prepared by Kim Cheol-soo.

‘Nonsense!’

I never thought that a $300 million regional development project would be connected to oil field development.

The idea of ​​focusing on construction meant that rather than spending a little more money, it would be better to show that you know how to do the job properly and jump into a multi-billion dollar oil field development project.

It may sound a bit absurd, but given the connections between Kim Cheol-soo and the Abacha family, it was not an entirely impossible situation.

Ahn Jeong-gyu, who burst into laughter for a long time, called out Kim Cheol-soo.

“Assistant Kim!”

“yes. manager.”

“Aren’t you too greedy? “Can we handle it as we have never won an oil field development order?”

“We just accept bids and a competent engineering company can do the rest.”

At those words, Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Shin Kyeong-mi.

“Is this possible, Manager Shin?”

“yes. It’s quite possible. “The margins are small, but oil field development has a large construction cost, so the profits are significant.”

Only then did a smile appear on Ahn Jeong-gyu’s face.

“That’s right. So, this means that the choice of a construction company should not be based on margins, but rather finding a place that will do the work properly. For the next business connection. Deputy Director Pyo, what do you think about Manager Lee?”

“If you look at it that way, I think it’s right to find a place that can successfully carry out the construction.”

“Cheolsu, I want to rip that guy’s head off. “What are you thinking?”

After hearing the positive answer, An Jeong-gyu straightened his back and shook his head for a moment.

“Can we know which of these companies will do the construction properly? “Don’t we have to start over from the beginning when choosing a construction company?”

Everyone sighed briefly when they heard that they had to do it again, and Kim Cheol-soo displayed another piece of data on the screen.

When the screen changed, everyone turned their eyes back to the screen.

“We need to keep an eye on soapstone construction.”

On the screen, Dongseok Construction’s annual sales, construction amount, number of orders received, and operating profit were listed in graphs.

“Soapseok Construction’s orders and construction amount are similar to those of the top 10 construction companies. However, our operating profit is similar to that of the top 50 construction companies.”

“what? “Isn’t this a waste of money?”

“I thought so too at first. However, as shown in the data, the number of claims due to poor construction is the lowest among all construction companies, and the difference with second place is overwhelming.”

“ah!”

Shin Kyeong-mi thought for a moment while looking at the data and let out a short exclamation.

“So I did an analysis. As a result, the execution rate of soapstone construction reached 95% for each construction project. This means that we are implementing it while maintaining the minimum margin necessary to run a business.”

Pyo Il-soo burst out in admiration at those words.

“You only do good things. That construction company.”

“It would be very surprising if the analysis data were true. There is a construction company like that in the 21st century. “I think it would be a good idea to call the city council and Dongseok construction next week and receive a briefing, then make the final selection.”

An Jeong-gyu also nodded to Shin Kyeong-mi’s remarks.

“If a developer is decided, what happens next?”

“Construction will begin once AMEC, the design company, completes the supervision of the developer.”

“Good. Work will begin in earnest. very good.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Shin Kyeong-mi and Kim Cheol-soo in turn with a satisfied smile and then opened his mouth.

“Isn’t this the manager who is announcing the next project?”

“yes.”

**

After the hour-long meeting, Shin Kyeong-mi requested a one-on-one meeting with Ahn Jung-gyu.

“What are you curious about?”

“Assistant manager Kim Cheol-su.”

“Why that guy?”

“Did you work anywhere else before joining here?”

“I understand this is your first job after graduating from college. Well, I don’t know what part-time job you did.”

Shin Kyeong-mi nodded at Ahn Jung-gyu’s words.

“The workmanship looks like someone with dozens of years of experience. “Is there anything I should take note of?”

“Are you a little embarrassed?”

“yes. I thought I would do a good job since I was given a special appointment in a short period of time, but this exceeded my expectations. “I don’t know if I can control it.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu nodded as if he understood those words.

“If you try to control a guy like that, Manager Shin will only get tired. Fortunately, he’s not a guy who brags about his abilities, is arrogant, or is lazy. He’s a consistent guy, so don’t get discouraged and work together. You may feel it, but even if you ask a manager right away, he will work without any problem. If you spend time with him, you will get to know his true colors. No one on our team hates Assistant Manager Kim. “Me too.”

At Ahn Jung-gyu’s words, Shin Kyeong-mi sighed in relief and nodded.

“All right. manager.”

“I have something to ask too.”

As Shin Kyeong-mi looked at Ahn Jeong-gyu, he opened his mouth.

“Let’s get off work on time. I know that foreign companies don’t have much involvement in commuting times. “When you go to Rome, you have to follow Roman law. When Manager Shin becomes the team leader, you can do whatever you want, but now, as the team leader, I want you to follow my way.”

Shin Kyeong-mi sighed and said those words.

“Whenever he does that, he seems like an old man. “It’s the same when taking extra classes.”

“what? mister? Old man? I was a college student when you were tutoring. “What a man!”

“Then do you call me oppa?”

“Uh huh!!”

Ahn Jeong-gyu burst into laughter as if he was taken aback when he heard the word oppa.

“all right. But give me two weeks. “I haven’t even cleaned up the house yet.”

“2 weeks. Ha, okay. And it’s difficult if you call me uncle at work.”

“Do not worry. “I also protect what I have to protect.”
