[166]Two-way interview 1
“It is absolutely necessary to hire a new person who suits you, but you should not look down on the old person. We need to make the back of the person who is leaving beautiful. “If you make me feel insulted, it’s a big problem.”
I was concerned about the end of the people I had been with for a long time.
Since it was our first time meeting, I may have gone a little too far, so I wanted to put my grandfather’s mind at ease.
“We will leave their positions as is for the time being. “If they show sufficient capabilities, I have no intention of replacing them.”
“no.”
“yes?”
“It’s just a matter of timing, those friends need to be sorted out. All employees must be made aware that times have changed. “The most effective way to make people feel that it is your era and not mine is to hit them on the head.”
also.
I am not saying this with people in mind.
“We need to minimize any negative effects that may arise from organizing those friends. Still, they were Sunyang’s loyalists. This means that no one should think of their future as seeing them being cut off mercilessly. A person who feels betrayed will always betray. Do you know why?”
“Isn’t it because it allows you to justify your betrayal?”
“That’s it.”
Grandpa looked at me and smiled happily.
“If they are flawless until the end, treat them in a way that you won’t be offended by, and if there are flaws that everyone can agree on even if they are raised as an issue, they are dealt with mercilessly. The rest of their cruise life should serve as an example to the people in the company. “For better or for worse.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
I was on the verge of laughing.
Why on earth does my grandfather not have a single ounce of pity? Yang Woo-chan, CEO of Soonyang Life Insurance, shows no consideration for him even though he has shared the ups and downs for over 30 years.
Will this happen to me too?
“By the way, let me meet Executive Director Jang Do-hyung. “We’ll decide what to do later.”
“I don’t know Executive Director Jeong very well, but he has a good reputation. really! “I’m sure he’s not an easy guy.”
“How amazing is it that you rose from Sunyang to executive director at that age?”
“If you and I get along well, we will have a good combination. haha.”
It must fit well.
Executive Director Jang Do-hyeong rose to vice president, but eventually slipped.
This is because when Jin Young-ki took over as chairman and began a shake-up, he disapproved of Jang Do-hyung’s challenging and aggressive way of running the company.
To Jinyoung-gi, Sunyang’s financial affiliates were merely a place to store controlling shares and a piggy bank from which money was withdrawn whenever necessary.
It was impossible for Jang Do-hyung, who wanted to grow such a company globally by making it the base of a global financial network, to get along with Jinyoung-gi.
Jin Young-ki promoted those who conformed to his ideas to CEO, and Jang Do-hyeong did not escape the burden of Tosa-gu.
This is a hidden story I know, but I need to check it out.
Is Executive Director Jang Do-hyung a good fit for me? Does it really have the ability to grow into a global company?
* * *
“This feels a bit bizarre, doesn’t it? I don’t really get along with Director Jin… . Oh, by the way, can I call you manager?”
“yes. “I’m comfortable with that, too, Mr. Executive Director.”
It’s an empty officetel the size of an apartment, but the only furniture is a comfortable sofa set and a table.
The first thing Executive Director Jang Do-hyeong said when he walked through the door was that it was bizarre and that it was not a place for me.
What is it that doesn’t fit?
“Would you like a drink? Or coffee? car?”
“If you have canned beer, you can easily quench your thirst.”
I took two cans of beer out of the refrigerator and placed them on the table.
“You said with a smile that Boss Yang was treated harshly. Is this true?”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung said with an awkward smile.
“If you had been treated harshly, would you have told your subordinates? “He must be a person with strong pride.”
Look at this.
Hey, didn’t you do this to find out what was discussed that day?
“haha. Then you said it as a joke to scare me. I took it seriously again. “I just looked like an idiot for no reason.”
I swallowed a sip of canned beer as if trying to sneak away.
“But why did you ask to see me…” ?”
“I have something to ask you. As you may already know, I will inherit the financial affairs of Sunyang Group.”
“yes. I know.”
“But I am different from my uncles. “I have no intention of taking on a large position within the company and managing it.”
“That’s surprising.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung put down the can of beer in his hand and straightened his posture.
“What happens inside the building is never known from the outside. Financial statements are not everything. The energy in the air when you enter the building lobby, the expressions on the faces of employees coming and going, and the buzzing sounds in the office. “These are the true colors of our company.”
“is that so?”
I looked slightly surprised and listened to what he was saying.
“Big positions such as chairman and vice president do not exist in the company system. However, everyone who enters the building lobby with this title on their forehead bows at a 90 degree angle.”
“I don’t like it like that. Isn’t it a bit old? Not a gangster… .”
“It’s because you don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s the snobbery of salaried workers.”
“snob?”
This person is a bit unique. Is this what my grandfather said about not being easy?
“As a courtesy to the group owner’s family… As you said, 99% of salaried workers who bow their heads as if they were dealing with a gang leader leave the company without even saying a word to the chairman.”
“I guess so.”
“Don’t they know that? But if the chairman comes up to you and shakes your hand, everything changes. You are special, not the 99%. “You have these fantasies.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“Doesn’t not wanting a position mean that you will only check performance every year and replace executives, including the CEO, when performance is poor?”

“Exactly.”
“That’s the Western way. Just because the system is Western-style does not mean it is an advanced management system. People must also fit into the Western system, but in our country there are still masters and servants, lords and loyalists… . “This kind of thinking is deeply embedded in my bones.”
“Don’t you know that we are in the 21st century?”
Even though I said this, it is true that I was a little surprised.
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung, you are truly unique.
I know it well too.
A slave mentality that is embedded in the bones of ordinary people who set their own boundaries and do not look beyond them or even dream.
Even the person with the greatest ambition ends up becoming the CEO. Those who dream of becoming president are treated like crazy.
However, I think it is natural for a second generation person, who is not a founder, has done nothing, and has no ability, to take that position. The limitation is that he considers himself a loyal servant of the founder’s family after growing the company into a large corporation.
However, this is the first person to acknowledge this fact and even analyze it. Do you have no pride?
“I ask again. So what do you want to say?”
“It means that even if you are not doing anything, you should sit at the very top.”
“Is that necessary? “Every affiliate has a great CEO, right?”
“Those great bosses are no exception. They are also people who acted after receiving instructions, whether right or wrong. forever. It’s a servant. I feel at ease when I do what I am told. “Doing what you’re told means you don’t have to take responsibility.”
“Responsibility… It weighs more than you think. “Sometimes it’s hard to handle.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyeong’s eyes sparkled.
“A person who knows well would just step aside as a shareholder? Is it because of your age?”
“Because I am in a situation where I have to look after my age externally and my body internally.”
Did that person understand what this meant?
“ah… … .”
I think I understand the expression.
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung took a refreshing sip of beer and lowered his voice.
“It seems very competitive, right?”
“I guess it’s a bit like that. “This is not a family that inherits an apartment.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung nodded his head and muttered softly.
“Chief Jin seems to be like Jaws in the family.”
“Jaws? You mean the movie? shark?”
“yes.”
“Why is that so? “You sure don’t think I’m a scary being that eats everything, right?”
“That’s not it… The characters in the movie all know there is something under the sea, but they don’t know its exact identity. We don’t know the size, we don’t know the aggression. But I know for sure that it exists. I know it will attack at some point. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
“So you keep me in check?”
“Actually, Jaws would be scary too. Because they think that beings on the water might harm them. The manager is probably a bit more serious than that. The moment you take over Sunyang’s core affiliates, the adults in your family will attack you. this… . “Someone like me can’t imagine that kind of pressure, so it’s okay to say something.”
Does this person know something?
Or do we only know the level that everyone can guess?
Jaws. It’s an appropriate analogy. But is it a good thing that no one knows the size of my teeth?
“Can you handle it?”
“What do you mean?”
“If it becomes known that I trust Executive Director Jang Do-hyung, things will become more difficult. Some will threaten and some will try to appease. Anyway, all sorts of things will happen.”
“I have no reason to refuse if you give me the authority to use that special task according to the situation.”
His voice rose again and the corners of his mouth rose. Her complexion also turned a little red. This person doesn’t try to hide his excitement.
Are you a combative type who enjoys fighting?
“You don’t tend to think deeply. “I only said trust and didn’t even make a specific offer yet, but you accepted it so quickly.”
“I never accepted it. “I planned to listen and decide what kind of authority you would propose.”
I could guess what kind of person he was by looking at his smiling face.
This person has no slave mentality.
He is a person suited to the Western system we have talked about so far.
However, Sunyang was not frustrated that such a system did not work, nor did they try to change it. If that were the case, rapid promotion would have been impossible.
Lee Jae-ja accepts the present as is and is looking for his own way.
“Is this enough for today?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it an interview where we get to know what kind of person the other person is? “Decisions are made slowly and over time.”
“It is not equal. Director Jin is the one who chooses, and I am in a position where I have to be chosen. “It’s definitely different.”
“haha. You look so confident and relaxed for someone who has to be chosen, right? “It seemed like there was nothing to regret.”
“I pretended like that. “I’m quite shaken.”
I’m a little confused as to whether he’s being honest or sly. I think it’s the latter… .
“I think someone, if not me, will choose Executive Director Jang. “Don’t everyone praise you as the future CEO of Sunyang Life Insurance?”
“I am waiting for the help of Director Jeon, rather than Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki and Vice Chairman Jin Jin-gi.”
“Me?”
“yes.”
“Why is that so? ah… ! I’m still young so I can sleep as I please? “What is this?”
“you’re welcome. If he was someone who would play into my hands, there is no way Chairman Jin would have handed over a key affiliate. “Even though he is still young, doesn’t this mean that he is already an outstanding person who has received the president’s approval?”
I have to admit that Executive Director Jang Do-hyung is quick-witted. And there seems to be something more. What is it?
Maybe we’ll have to talk for quite some time today.
