“There will be an opening speech by the Chairman.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, Choi Kyung-hoon entered the auditorium, and the trainees stood up all at once.
Although I occasionally ran into the group president, I had very few opportunities to see the president.
The trainees’ faces were filled with anticipation and pride when they heard that the president would personally come and give a lecture for them.
The trainees sat down again while Choi Kyung-hoon, who stood on the podium, placed the microphone on the collar of his suit.
Kyung-Hoon Choi scanned the crowd without saying a word and made eye contact with each trainee.
It was to remember faces.
“You would consider yourself very special, right?”
A few people nodded.
Kyung-Hoon Choi also nodded and asked a question.
“Do you know how many executives there are in our group?”
So So-Hoon, who was sitting in the front, raised his hand and answered.
“There are 313 people.”
“Hoo? Who are you?”
“This is Manager Jang-hoon Soh from the group planning team at headquarters.”
Choi Kyung-hoon responded with a chuckle.
“You need to work harder.”
At those words, Sojang-Hoon looked confused for a moment as to what he was talking about, and Choi Gyeong-Hoon looked at him and said,
“If you were on the planning team, you would have met me often, but I don’t remember that.”
At those words, laughter burst out from somewhere, and Sojonghun’s face turned red.
“I remember the numbers well. Yes, the current number of executives in our company is 313. Then, do you know how many of those who went through the human resource center were promoted to executives?”
No one could answer that question.
“A total of 681 employees received training here over 20 years, and 102 of them became executives. Of the remaining 211, 89 were external personnel, and 122 were rank-and-file employees who did not go through the human resource center. You are truly special. “I would say that moment is the moment you become an executive. Right now, you are not special. Not yet. So, I want you to focus completely on your education.”
Everyone nodded their heads and responded loudly to Choi Kyung-hoon’s words.
“Huh. Looks like everyone received the instructions correctly? Answer hard?”
The atmosphere in the audience improved due to the jokes, which were not typical of the chairman of a large company.
Kyung-Hoon Choi glanced at the trainees and stopped on Cheol-Soo Kim.
He made eye contact with me, and instead of bowing his head or waist like the others, he smiled secretly.
‘As expected, Gandaeng is a big guy.’
“Does anyone know anything about my educational background?”
At those words, Sojanghun raised his hand again.
“Graduated from Korea University’s Department of Business Administration, Korea University Graduate School of Business, and received an honorary doctorate from Seoul National University.”
Choi Kyung-hoon smiled and nodded.
“This guy knows me really well. So do you remember what year I graduated from college and business school?”
But Jang Hoon could not study that far.
“that is······.”
“Ana, don’t you know?”
“that is.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don’t really like procrastination. Anyone else?”
Sojang-Hoon sighed and made a ‘grunt’ sound, and Gyeong-Hoon Choi waited for a while.
But when there was no answer, Kim Cheol-soo, who was in the middle, quietly raised his hand.
“Okay. There, tell me.”
According to Kim Cheol-soo’s memories, Chairman Choi Gyeong-hoon, who became an orphan after the war and clung to life near a U.S. military base, started the business with absolutely nothing.
All I had to do was graduate from elementary school before the war.
I saw an interview where he said that his life changed completely when he started eating food that American soldiers gave him out of pity and then thought about selling it.
As my business grew, I felt the need to study and get a degree, so I was a lifelong student who studied late.
“He entered university in 1991 and graduated in 1995. Then, he entered business school in the same year and graduated in 1999. He received an honorary doctorate from Seoul National University in 2001.”
The trainees’ attention was focused on Kim Cheol-soo, who answered calmly.
Kyung-Hoon Choi recalled what happened last year.
‘okay. Of these, he is probably the one who knows me best.’
Choi Gyeong-hoon asked Kim Cheol-soo with a satisfied smile.
“Hey, why don’t you introduce yourself?”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly stood up, gave a simple bow, and then answered.
“This is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, who is in charge of project organizing sales at Hanyoung Corporation’s Sales Division 3.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Do you know when I graduate high school?”
“You graduated in 1982.”
“Hehehe. Okay. What about middle school?”
“You graduated in 1968.”
“When I founded Hanyoung Trading, the predecessor of Hanyoung Group?”
“It’s 1954.”
“Can you even answer what I’m studying right now?”
“You are studying philosophy at Korea Open University.”
Choi Kyung-hoon smiled and nodded his head with a really pleased expression, and the people around him were excited to see Kim Cheol-soo.
“Thank you, Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.”
“No, Chairman.”
Kim Cheol-soo answered like that and sat down quietly, and Park Hae-seong pointed to Kim Cheol-soo with surprised eyes and asked Lee Jun-hak.

“What is that friend?”
“I hope you are the chairman. Last year, while I was collecting data on the chairman, I was summoned to the audit office and there was an uproar.”
“Really? That’s amazing. I caught the chairman’s eye right away.”
Lee Jun-hak also nodded at those words.
‘also.’
Kyung-Hoon Choi looked at the trainees again and asked.
“Why did I ask such a question? Everyone is smart, so they must have guessed it, right? I started this business after graduating from elementary school. I collected gum and chocolate from American soldiers and sold them to people. As the business grew, “I was always busy, but I still made time to study.”
Choi Kyung-hoon drank a glass of water and opened his mouth again.
“It means that business or business has nothing to do with how much you studied during your school days. The flow of the times is like the wind, and the moment it stagnates even a little, you fall far behind. Our group has created a place called Human Resource Center to create this opportunity. “I’m giving it to you to make you aware.”
About 30 minutes had passed, and Choi Kyung-hoon’s speech was almost over.
“Have you all read Alvin Toffler’s book The Third Wave?”
“Yes! Chairman.”
“Through this month-long training, please reflect on how our Hanyoung Group can survive in the 21st century. If your reflection helps our company grow, the company will also fully reward you for your hard work. .”
“All right.”
When Choi Kyung-hoon left the podium, a 10-minute break was allotted, and the emcee announced that the group formation would be scheduled later.
“Thank you for your hard work, Chairman.”
Director Injaewon Jang, Han-Guk Jang, accompanied Kyung-Hoon Choi and went out.
Then he secretly asked Kyung-Hoon Choi.
“Is there an employee you like?”
“Why do you give me special treatment if I tell you?”
“no.”
“I don’t have any employees in mind, so proceed according to the principles.”
“I understand. Then, we will take full responsibility for the human resource development process from now on.”
“Yes. I expect good results this time too.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”
Choi Kyung-hoon tapped Jang Han-guk on the shoulder and got into the car.
**
Jun-hak Lee, Hae-seong Park, and Cheol-soo Kim.
Three people became a group.
It was not a method of forcing Injaewon to form groups.
We were asked to voluntarily form pairs of three, and groups were formed naturally.
And each of the 30 people was given a computer equipped with a touch screen.
“There are business simulation games installed on each of the computers we have given out. You must play the game every now and then for 30 days and achieve results. Your performance will be greatly reflected in your training score, so you will need to pay a lot of attention.”
Since most of the people gathered here were not very familiar with computer games, they all looked puzzled.
One educator asked a question.
“Can this game be restarted or something?”
“Of course you can, but it will not be saved.”
“I heard there was nothing like this in the previous curriculum.”
“This is the digital age. This is a course specially prepared in line with the trend of the times. Please note that business simulation games are not easy games, so you will need to think a lot before proceeding.”
“What about people who have never played games or anything like that?”
“That is not our consideration. Figure out what to do on your own.”
As soon as Kim Cheol-soo received the laptop, he turned it on, checked the game, and laughed.
‘Does it look like a game that Youngsu installed on my computer?’
Youngsu also plays computer games like kids these days, but instead of games like Diablo or StarCraft, he enjoys simulation games like these.
-Why does a person who is supposed to be a doctor do this?
– I’m doing it because it’s difficult. It tastes like it should be difficult.
I’m not an ordinary person
Although most in-house trainings are the same, Injaewon’s training was also similar.
Ordinary employees also usually receive training when they are promoted to manager.
After receiving training, people who were thinking about leaving the company, thinking about changing jobs, or even people who were sick of company life suddenly feel excited with a sense of belonging and inspiration.
The past and future of Hanyoung Group.
And the homework that those who attend this training must shoulder.
I know it’s a sweet thing to say, but the people who attended felt an inexplicable sense of elation as they became Korean men again to their core from the first day.
On the first day of training, Sohn Hoon, who heard praise from the instructors, gathered all of the school’s juniors and arranged a drinking party.
Among the 30 trainees, 16 are from Seoul National University.
Nine people graduated from prestigious private universities excluding the so-called Seoul National University.
Four of them were from prestigious local universities such as KAIST and Pohang University of Science and Technology, but Kim Cheol-soo was the only one from an unnamed university.
Academic background is not a measure of ability.
However, it was enough to give the impression that he was ‘knowledgeable and sincere’, and considering the use of numerous connections in other fields, the better school he graduated from, the better the evaluation he received.
“Right now, there are so many juniors in our group waiting to receive this education. What is KD University? Is it a university? You don’t have to study much to get into a university like that?”
Sojang-hoon, who was very drunk, was chewing on Kim Cheol-soo.
The people at the drinking party seemed to sympathize with him in the group’s planning office.
“That’s right. I looked it up, and you don’t even have a college entrance exam score to get in there. They say you can get in by just submitting an application, but isn’t there something wrong with the human resources department? Isn’t it a mistake in itself for people like that to be in the human resource center?”
“If graduates from such universities come out and succeed in society, will that be helpful to society?”
Lee Jun-hak watched the scene quietly and took a sip of his drink.
‘I’m so damn tired.’
senior? Junior? club? demo? Social participation?
A university where the most talented students come.
However, although it received so much attention, the members of the university were only interested in how successful they would be and were almost indifferent to the other side.
So So-Hoon asked, glancing at Lee Jun-Hak, who had been quietly drinking in a corner without saying a word the whole time he was present at this event.
“What do you think, Junhak?”
“I don’t really care about what university you graduated from. As long as you do a good job, it’s good.”
“Now that you know the reality, throw away that attitude.”
“Oh my, I don’t think I can live like that all the time. I’m just going to get up now. See you tomorrow, senior.”
As Lee Jun-hak bowed lightly and left the restaurant, So So-hoon frowned.
In fact, So Jang-hoon was not very interested in Lee Jun-hak.
I was just interested in Lee Han-soo, a junior at Hanyoung Trading Company and successor to the Shido Group.
Because Lee Han-soo was under Lee Jun-hak, he just tried to get acquainted with him by setting up a place for him.
‘The bastard who works for Hanyoung General Trading Company is acting dirty. What if I join Hanyoung Electronics as a core talent? ‘Insolent bastard!’
He didn’t want to give any chance to people who didn’t support him.
8:22.
So So-Hoon checked his watch and announced today’s surprise.
“They say CEO Choi Kyeong-jun will be visiting at 9 o’clock.”
With those words, the restaurant became quiet for a moment.
“I contacted you and brought you here, so don’t make a mistake.”
“Wow!! As expected of you, senior!!”
Lee Jun-hak looked again at the suddenly noisy restaurant.
Just because we went to the same school didn’t mean we were in the same position.
Depending on where you graduated from high school, there were factions within the same university.
There really weren’t many places for Lee Jun-hak, who graduated from a local high school, and now he was tired of going to the same university and all that.
In the empty dormitory, only Kim Cheol-soo’s room had a light on.
Lee Jun-hak, who was about to go home, turned around and headed to Injaewon’s dormitory, and soon a knock was heard from Kim Cheol-soo’s room.
“yes.”
When I opened the door, Lee Jun-hak was there.
“Oh, Chief.”
“Isn’t Assistant Manager Kim going home?”
“I only try to go on weekends.”
“Why are you working so hard?”
“Hehe. I have a bad background, so I have to work hard.”
At those words, Lee Jun-hak lifted his lips slightly and nodded.
‘child! I thought you would be disappointed and confused. I like it too.’
“Would you like a drink?”
“The manager is recommending it, should I decline? How about pork belly?”
“Do you want to eat pork belly?”
“The weather is chilly, so don’t you think of pork belly grilled over a warm charcoal fire? I also found a good restaurant nearby.”
“How much?”
When Lee Jun-hak nodded with a cheerful expression, Kim Cheol-soo quickly put on his coat and came out.
