Chapter 239 – Corporate Tour
Warehouse mart.
It’s really good from a consumer point of view.
‘Because it’s cheap.’
You can throw away all the minor flaws.
All is forgiven for the price alone.
“It’s definitely cheap. Looking here, prices seem to be stable.”
“It works like that.”
Inflation in Korea is rising every year.
Inefficient production and deformed distribution structure.
‘The thing that acts as a buffer for that.’
It is a competition between large retailers.
Among them, the one closest to the consumer’s table.

U.S. Refrigerated fan meat 1,980 won
Australian Wagyu Beef Cutlet 5,280 won

Dulmart.
Household prices are maintained moderately thanks to the sale at such a cheap price as to be acceptable.
“But it’s selling in bulk, right? Isn’t it a win-win between the consumer and the mart?”
“It’s not.”
There are distributors using a similar strategy.
Typically Costco.
‘They sell it for a damn cheap price.’
In particular, imported food has no place to compare.
It is safe to say that the best cheesecake shop in Korea is Costco.
Excellent in quality as well as quantity.
This is because the cost ratio is drastically lowered through a mass sales strategy of small items.
“Costco is a membership system. There aren’t many stores.”
“I can’t go because I’m not around.”
“Those who don’t go have to go to Dulmmart anyway.”
Traders are different.
It’s the same warehouse type mart, but it wasn’t established specifically to sell cheaply.
‘Because I eat my flesh.’
Only the sales of Dulmart are transferred to Dulmart Traders.
In terms of depreciation and operating margin, it is a loss.
“Then why are you doing it?”
“Therefore.”
“?”
“I’m coming to visit the company.”
But the market moves in the big picture.
Just as Lupine now suffers a deficit of hundreds of billions of won every year.
The Korea Times− 「Reason for not giving up on “Morning delivery” Even if Lupine’s deficit increases」
Fact News− 「”The size of the deficit is not important”… Bleeding competition for e-commerce ‘winner takes all’
Winner takes all.
If you monopolize the e-commerce industry, you can aim for a surplus through mass sales.
‘Something like the subscription economy.’
The company’s brand value increases.
Then, like Kakao, the octopus feet business will be possible.
That is Lupine’s final goal.
Likewise, Dulmart also has a business structure that it aims for.
『Convenience Food Corner』
Fresh sushi 20 pieces 14,980 won
Premium Sushi 28 pieces 19,980 won
Premium raw fish 36,800 won
Smoked Pork Belly 1.4kg KRW 21,960
Two chickens 14,980 won
Boneless Chicken Salad 9,980 won
Ernie Salmon Salad 7,342 won
You can tell by looking at the food section.
Sora also asks if he has realized something.
“It’s what I felt while watching.”
“What?”
“Should we go buy some sushi? Considering the price, I think it’s better than going to a local sushi restaurant, right?”
“…”
I was looking at useless things.
It is not out of the eyes of non-investors.
‘It goes all the way from the fresh food corner.’
Beef, pork, fish.
It is a structure that sells leftovers by turning them into convenience foods.
“Beef becomes an ingredient for refrigerated, frozen, beef bulgogi, and pizza toppings. Raw salmon becomes an ingredient for sashimi, sushi, and salmon salad.”
“…”
“In a word, you are the leftovers squad.”
“Hey.”
Same with other materials.
At the end of recycling, even the bone marrow is eaten before disposal is considered.
‘It’s very efficient.’
Of course, it is different from restaurant recycling.
It is processed legally and sanitarily in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
“I’ll eat anyway.”
“No.”
“Why!”
“You buy it if you put a discount sticker on it as much as the stock bites.”
“Woo!”
Sale ends after 8pm.
This is why even discounts of 15 to 50% may not result in a loss.
‘Of course, that’s not the real purpose.’
Go to the next corner
Go deeper into the bakery, vegetable, and fruit sections, which have a similar structure.
Arrive at the adult space.
First of all, it is true that it is a facility that requires 19 gold.
“It’s alcohol.”
“Yes.”
“Nothing.”
“Because there’s something wrong.”
Liquor such as wine and whiskey.
It is the most popular product in large supermarkets.
‘This can’t be delivered.’
According to the Korean Liquor Act, delivery of alcoholic beverages other than traditional liquor is prohibited.
In other words, the consumer has to come.
“Is that so?”
“We’re building a system where consumers have no choice but to come, whether it’s the price, convenience food, or alcohol.”
“But it’s convenient to buy online…”
“Including that.”
Warehouse mart.
If you think about it a little bit, it literally becomes a warehouse.
‘A warehouse is a very important base for an offline mart.’
Serves that role.
A lot of traders all over the country.
The online side is also paying attention.
If there are differences from Lupine, they are both.
“This is called an omni-channel strategy. The feeling of integrating online and offline.”
“Oh…”
“The media only pays attention to Lupine’s innovation, but in fact, even Dulmart is sharpening his sword.”
Conversely, companies that are not doing this.
Coldemart and Zipplus will be eliminated from the market.
‘Even if it looks like the same company from the corner of the room.’
The business structure and company vision are different.
You can learn a lot just by browsing the supermarket.
Why do business tours?
Sora, who had never acted like a virgin, stared open-mouthed.
“You look so dumb.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think I’ll see anything like this if I look around every day.”
그러한 사실.
In the end, you should know
Company tours are judged by how much you know and how much you prepare.
‘If you think about it from a business point of view.’
I do not want to disclose any information.
They want to pick out only what they want and use it for publicity.
In particular, weak points are used and hidden.
A company visit can be seen as a fight between a company and an investor.
“100,000 years is too early for a kid like you to go.”
“After half and half and half and half, you’re a grandmother.”
If you act clumsily, you will only be humiliated.
Being gaslighted by an IR person and misreporting the value of the company.
‘증권사에서 흔하게 일어나는 미스지.’
Why you need excellent employees.
Building experience is important, but there is a step before that.
“There are things you can learn by knowing the letter A when putting a scythe.”
“That’s right, so it’s even more upsetting.”
“What to do?”
“That shit TV.”
The Internet alone can tell you a lot.
Changes in the market and the business structure of companies.
‘Based on such prior knowledge.’
Examine the company’s growth drivers.
That’s what investors do when they visit companies.
Dulmart.
If you can’t read the things that are openly displayed like this, you can’t even see the things that are hidden.
Imprisoned!
So, study more.
The purpose of bringing Sora is to faithfully polish the basics.
“Senior.”
“Huh?”
“Doesn’t the two of you feel like newlyweds when you go shopping?”
“Don’t be silly.”
“The shit was a bit harsh.”
Sora’s purpose for coming here was not one.
He suddenly crosses her arms and clings to her.
‘Why is this even giving him goosebumps?’
PTSD has recently flared up, so my defense mechanism kicks in without my knowledge.
“Honestly, it’s good, isn’t it?”
“He’s good at paisley.”
“Don’t give a damn.”
Sora’s breasts wrap around her arms.
Give her strength with a squeak, and her plump flesh provides a sense of pressure.
‘Only her breasts are so big.’
Rachel screwed it up even in bed, but Sora didn’t know what would happen if they were together in bed.
“Honey, I just want to buy a bottle of alcohol…”
“Buy it with pocket money.”
“No, it’s because I have too little pocket money.”
In the words of a man like that.
Recently, a statue of a husband, which is common in Korea, is passing by.
‘I wonder if living like that would be fun.’
It’s something they want to do, so it’s not something to talk about.
It’s just that I don’t want to do that.
“Will we be seen as a couple by those around us?”
“It must look like a spawn.”
“You madman.”
It’s better to play with a woman who is so full.
When Sora says it’s like a date, she giggles.
‘Well, I’m not one either.’
Dulmart.
It has a very important meaning in the Korean economy.
Businesses are conservative.
Korea especially has such an aspect.
KakaoTalk!
Digging inside is not easy.
In today’s country, nothing is impossible.
* * *
Dulmart.
It is a company that owns the largest number of hypermarkets in Korea.
It is no exaggeration to say that people across the country are using it.
Although it has a position that cannot be shaken.
“Do you consider this situation normal?”
Things have changed a bit lately.
The person at the head of the conference table, which is 10m wide and 3m long, opens his mouth.
The atmosphere is serious.
I didn’t even raise my voice.
Still, there is a sense of intimidation that dominates the atmosphere.
“The current stock price is not good because of the decline in the stock market and the rise in raw materials…”
“Am I asking that now?”
“I don’t think so.”
The people sitting on either side of the table are not ordinary people either.
Her hair is half-naked, or gray hair can be seen here and there.
Minimum executive rank.
Ordinary employees, including directors, managing directors, managing directors, vice presidents and presidents, are people who are hard to see.
“Did I summon all of you, busy people, at this time to listen to the obvious? Those of you whose monthly salary is that of an ordinary employee?”
I can’t even look at them like that.
Because they are the ones who take care of their salary.
‘It’s too late to get off work early.’
‘Didn’t the state have to wipe out the management team?’
‘I didn’t know that no one would step out until it got to this point.’
I can’t understand what the president is saying.
If you don’t want to be cut, you should come up with a solution right away.
Recently, Dulmart is facing the biggest crisis since its foundation.
The stock price has gone ⅓ in half a year.
It is a figure that cannot be attributed to the decline in the stock market and the rise in raw materials.
The company is faltering.
“I don’t think anyone can explain it properly.”
“Ah, that’s…”
“What is it?”
“I’m running out of time. I’ll be ready by this time next time.”
“In the meantime, another number of part-time employees’ salaries will be blown away.”
“”…””
Directors seem to be people in extremely high positions.
That’s actually true.
It’s a problem because it can’t happen overnight.
It is only a matter of time to be fired as much as you receive a high salary.
‘There’s no one who works as much as he gets paid.’
In my mind, I want to replace all of them.
It is frustrating for Chairman Kang Moo-yeol.
The company can’t do that.
In that respect, he was a very cool person.
“As expected, I thought no one would come prepared.”
“I’m sorry, Chairman.”
“We are also working hard inside and out, but…”
“It’s okay. I prepared it.”
“”Yes?””
It’s scary to end the words of muyeol.
As if he had waited, no, as if he didn’t want to wait, the door to the conference room opened.
If you think about what kind of place this place is and what kind of people are gathered, it is impossible.
Break that common sense lightly.
“Hello. I’m Lee Chan-wook, who was invited.”
He was such a man
