Chapter 290 – Busan
A company I recently went to.
The head office’s chief financial officer (CFO) was convinced, but the story could have been a little different in the field.
“Ai, teacher? It doesn’t make sense, don’t you get it!”
You’re not particularly angry.
It’s just the tone of voice, the accent.
‘Anyway.’
Dialect.
When you first hear the Gyeongsang-do dialect, you may feel aggressive.
“Are you not convinced by the explanation given to the CFO?”
“That doesn’t make sense, doesn’t it?”
“Oh, that’s how it is.”
It could really be like that.
It seems that the optimistic view on the exchange rate was very uncomfortable.
‘It’s worth it.’
Ohsung Heavy Industries.
It is one of the representative shipbuilders of Korea.
And shipbuilders have one PTSD.
The Korea Times− 「Tongyeong, where 20,000 Joseon workers left, the ‘KIKO wound’ remains intact」
This is an incident around 2008.
The exchange rate soared to 1,500 won due to the subprime mortgage crisis.
Shipbuilders that had currency hedging suffered losses of trillions.
PTSD exists in exchange rates.
“It’s because the teacher doesn’t know. There’s blood in Busan, isn’t it?”
The person in charge of the field deserves to have a bloodstain around his neck.
As a result, the shipbuilder went bankrupt, and the number of unemployed workers is not normal.
‘That’s why I came.’
Actual companies are divided into office and field.
Non-IT industries, especially heavy industries, have no choice but to do so.
Headquarters is in Seoul.
The shipyard is Busan.
This is what happens when you are far away from the end of Korea.
“Think of persuading people here, Mysore.”
“I know what the captain is thinking too.”
“It’s our workers who are fired because the head office is trying to save a few pennies!”
Came to solve it.
The CFO gave me a mission to go and persuade me.
‘It’s all about sales jobs.’
An investment advisor is also a type of sales job.
Analytical power is also important, but in the end, companies have to buy it.
Sometimes these chores are handed over.
I didn’t think it was that difficult.
“There is no case where the exchange rate jumps to 1,500 won except in a national crisis.”
“Don’t you think I experienced the IMF and the collapse of the shipyard?”
“I mean, it’s not common.”
Working class.
I couldn’t learn and ate it, damn it.
No, the perspective of looking at society had to be different.
When a company is hit, it is the first to be cut.
As you get older, it is difficult to find a job again, and your life is ruined.
‘Actually, investors are no different.’
The experience of losing a lot of money in stocks will never be forgotten.
It becomes a trauma, and even if you look at stocks, you stop looking at them.
“If you do stock, you will be ashamed of your family!” – Latte Old Man
A lot of old people say.
It is not difficult to refute, but the problem is that they do not intend to listen.
“Do you know how those who were cut off then live?
“Alpano.”
“Marako?”
“No, you’re oversensitive.”
It comes out emotionally.
It’s the kind I hate the most.
Due to the nature of the profession, the views are different.
‘It’s a good news that the stock price goes up if there are layoffs.’
It is classified as good news because it reduces costs.
Sometimes they pour water and pray to cut off tens of thousands of people.
“I don’t understand why people are told to believe that the exchange rate won’t go up.”
“Because Powell is a person who can’t go to heaven.”
“Did you even kill that nobleman!?”
I worked in a place where there are many people who think it is.
As a result, I do not understand the thoughts of the working class.
‘Actually, I must have killed a lot.’
It is no exaggeration to say that Powell killed about 30% of the people who jumped off Wall Street buildings.
Especially a lot lately.
A way of thinking rooted in capitalism.
While I was struggling with how to explain to a single worker.
“Only hawks get to go to central banker heaven.”
“What, what is it? I don’t know because I’m blind.”
“It means that the current Federal Reserve Chairman, Powell, is not hawkish enough to continue with tough policies.”
“No, does the foreign wife speak Korean well?”
Rachel, who was sleeping and listening, opens her mouth and comes.
I could understand what I was saying just by listening to the context.
‘Well, it’s common sense.’
That is for investors.
The Fed is releasing money into the market, saying it is to revive the economy.
Someday you will have to reap it.
Only then will inflation and bubbles not occur.
Dovite lawmakers balk at that.
This is because the financial sector and the political sector are paying attention.
What if the economy crashes?
Even though they know that interest rates should be raised, they break their hearts.
“Only hawks in central bankers can go to heaven.”- Robert McTeer
Ignoring public criticism and raising interest rates.
It is a proverb that reminds us that hawks are right.
“So you don’t have to worry too much. Was it a little comforting?”
“What kind of doll talks! You must know foreign affairs well because you are a foreign woman, right?”
“Looks like something.”
I don’t really know.
As an emotional person, I value persuasion rather than specific details.
‘It’s helllele because a woman says it, damn it.’
Look teeth.
There can be no face-to-face encounters with people.
Foreigners are good at Korean, so it’s worth having a crush on them.
“In that sense, I have a good suggestion.”
“Oh, there was a teacher too. Tell me.”
“…It’s an opportunity to return it in reverse.”
“Come?”
Once you get the hang of it, the rest is simple.
The problem was that I didn’t want to listen to the words themselves.
‘As long as I have a strong trauma.’
There will also be resentment.
To the bank that recommended KIKO, who made them that way.
“The bank teachers said it was dangerous again…”
“That’s a trick.”
“Was I being fooled again?”
“I was making a fuss about something insignificant to sell insurance products.”
It is a method commonly used in Korean politics.
You have to take sides to be deceived.
‘No, I trust you.’
At least it’s better than being cheated by the bank.
I do everything I can to make interest business comfortable.
“If it wasn’t for Mr. Ata and Mr. Miin, I would have been in big trouble, yes! Let’s take a look!”
Distrust in the field.
I was able to solve it safely.
In a way that satisfies them as well.
“Thanks to you, it ended well.”
“Because I came here because I was forced to.”
“I didn’t know you would worry about workers when it comes to efficiency.”
Thanks to Rachel.
I was able to proceed with the persuasion after the first time well.
The feeling of having a competent secretary with you.
It’s on a different level from someone who only flirts with them.
‘I didn’t know that a guy who cares about efficiency would worry about workers.’
More than me
A maniacal obsession with efficiency.
I thought you wouldn’t care about workers’ rights.
“It’s a matter of humanity before efficiency.”
“Kuhm!”
“That’s not what you’d expect from you.”
The point of view was slightly different.
Even among the same investors, there can be differences.
‘Fuck.’
It may have been inevitable that he had a confrontation with Rachel.
Everything is shit
“I have a question for you.”
“Because you only use the anus.”
“?”
Still, she can’t figure out why she clings.
Just as I was about to get back into the car.
Wheein~!
A phone call comes.
I am concerned about the relationship with the caller to ignore it because it is annoying.
〈 Oh Chanwook! 〉
“Chairman, I answered the phone.”
Mooyeol Kang is the chairman.
Friendship with him is being used very usefully.
‘Even if I can provide investment advice to various companies.’
Reliability is most needed.
And trust is an invisible value.
No matter how much you build up your performance, you can be ignored.
Even if you don’t have any achievements, just a word from a high-ranking person is enough.
〈 I heard that you are doing well these days! 〉
“It’s thanks to the president’s introduction.”
〈 haha! Where are you going to introduce yourself? You must have the ability.〉
Korean society.
In the words of Doolmart Chairman Kang Moo-yeol, most companies are free passes.
〈 Did you go all the way to Busan? 〉
“Something happened that I had to go on a business trip.”
〈 So… , Since you are in Busan, can you do me a favor? I’m not forcing you.〉
Getting help
It’s hard to refuse a request.
‘It’s okay for me, too.’
The recent economic downturn.
As a result, consumption patterns have also changed.
Dulmatt is also adjusting to this.
It’s about asking for help.
“Shall we go get some food?”
“What else have you been given?”
“Yes, it’s an extension of that.”
Milkit.
Convenience food consisting of ingredients, seasonings, etc. For making food in one set.
Demand is increasing.
This is especially true during an economic downturn.
‘Because it’s expensive.’
During the economic boom, consumption levels rose.
Because I make money, I buy good things.
A thin wallet with a downturn.
Satisfying the heightened appetite becomes burdensome.
“You’re using the meal kit as an alternative.”
“You can see that. There is also a street aspect.”
You can eat high quality food at a low price.
That’s what restaurant food is all about.
‘That’s the ideal theory.’
It is worth paying attention to at large marts such as Dulmart.
It is a means of attracting customers.
Competition is already fierce behind the scenes.
Despite that, the results are still lukewarm.
Because of quality
It is not as easy as you think to realize high taste with a meal kit.
“Is Jill?”
“You have nothing to write about in your life.”
“?”
I called to ask them to fix it.
First of all, we met as people involved in the food service industry.
‘If it goes well.’
Food Market and Hales Food.
Food from franchises in which I have a share can also be sold at Dull Mart.
Squeak-!
Arrive at the restaurant.
This is a place Chairman Kang Moo-yeol might ask for while he was in Busan.
“It’s soup.”
“When you think of Busan, it’s pork soup. This is a pork soup restaurant.”
“I ate the soup, too.”
It’s not that special food.
If you are Korean, you eat close to stock.
Rachel seems to have experience too.
But here in Busan, it will be different.
“It has a rich taste that reminds me of Japanese tonkotsu ramen. It’s lighter than that, but it has a deep savory taste that is hidden. A little salt would make it perfect.”
“Eh! Are you Doranna?”
“Yes?”
Scoop a little with a spoon and savor it like a gourmet.
Even that alone crossed the line.
‘Here it is.’
The locals have something to hold on to.
I try to eat it with salt.
“Salt…? “
“Do you feel the salt?”
“Which tolgei did not feel the salt in the earth?”
The inside of the store is in an uproar.
The guests at the table next to each other are picked up in turn.
All of a sudden they gather around our table.
Rachel, who was so lofty and confident, freezes.
“Ha, can’t I speak Korean…”
Baptized in Busan.
