This Is How I Became a Chaebol

016 : Ulsan

“Congratulations!!!”

Sambok, who was in charge of moderation, shouted loudly.

After twists and turns, it was the day that the first shipment of 200,000 yards was shipped in almost two months.

Once Razak’s quantity is cut off, the rest of the quantity can be cut off rather slowly before shipping.

Even if it was superstitious, they prepared for the shipping test with sincerity.

I wanted to commemorate it unconditionally as exporting the first batch of goods to Singapore would be like crossing a big mountain.

I wondered if we could have a party for a day or so.

“In celebration of the first shipment of large-scale unemployment, clear alcohol and food were prepared with care. God of Heaven and Earth, please be kind to us and help us to bear great fruit in everything that the general industry, which has been done with the blood and sweat of many people, does.”

Old Man Hwang, the eldest man in the area, read a congratulatory message, and I swung a glass of makgeolli over the incense burner and placed it on the table.

The sight of the pig’s head smiling broadly gave me the feeling that things were going to go smoothly.

Sambok bought a proper pork head.

After all, he’s a good friend if you entrust him with anything.

“Please let the mainstream unemployment fly away.”

I put a bill in the pig’s head and bowed.

Although it may seem funny to people these days, it is important to the members of this era, so I bowed sincerely.

“Please let the major unemployment fly away, and the comet nylon fly along with it.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“You have to put the money in. If you don’t insert money, it’s invalid!”

President Hwang Hye-seong put several bills in the pig’s nose with a good word.

After that, the majority of unemployed employees, and the surrounding merchants also bowed one after another.

“Orient the truck!!”

“Please arrive safely.”

Following Sambok’s words, I tied a bukeo in front of the truck bumper with a thick silk skein, sprinkled makgeolli on each wheel, and bowed in front of the bonnet.

“Everyone push the truck!”

“Go safely!”

“Cross the sea safely!”

The crew all pushed the truck with me.

Acrid smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, but I didn’t care.

“Waaa!”

Cheers ensued as the trucks left the factory.

It was pretty cool to see several trucks pulling out. Shipping over 30 tons of fabric at once was a monumental task in Seongsu-dong in the 1960s.

Razak will receive the goods in a week, and additional supplies will pour like mad.

You’ll be amazed by our quality and you’ll be amazed by our productivity again.

“The boss has to eat the ears. I mean, listen to what others have to say.”

“No, I have to cut off my nose. You shouldn’t be sniffing the money.”

“Your age is the best when you look at it. It’s a lucky bag.”

When the truck disappeared, the soup restaurant ladies came forward and cut off my hair.

“Everyone, enjoy your meal. I pay for all the drinks.”

“Waaa!!”

The feast has begun.

“Chief Wu, why don’t you just export and sell some to us.”

“sorry. Waiting for exports is also tight.”

“Chief Woo, where do you plan to sell the barter ticket after this export? Pass it over to us. Premium duduk will take care of it.”

“Haha, I’ll think about it.”

“Boss Wu, please hand over the defective products from the factory to us. Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to burn it?”

“The principle is to discard all defective products, so I’m sorry.”

The bosses of the company, who are so stubborn, came to me and asked me for a drink. Most of them were domestic companies that asked them to hand over the fabric, but they refused with roughly good words.

Exports are required to raise dollars, and only when dollars are collected can a company grow.

It was obvious that the dollar to import nylon yarn materials would dry up if it supplied domestic supplies for no reason.

‘When the dollars are deposited, I have to pay David the loan first. Then you will be able to fully enter into a virtuous cycle.’

As I was chewing on my ears and thinking about something else for a while, Sambok approached me with a smile.

They filled each other’s glasses.

“It’s a nice day, would you like some drinks today?”

“Yes, Sambok, you also had a hard time.”

“What a hardship, honestly, Chan-soo, you did all the big things.”

“What are you talking about? Sambok, you did everything from company registration, sample delivery, company accounting, and import/export shipment handling.”

“I did what you were told to do. If you don’t do that properly, you burn the fabric. Ugh, it’s a waste of money.”

“Damn it, are you still regretting it? It’s just a process that works.”

“Well, after that, all of our employees fell short of the quality standards you set.”

When a fabric that deviated from the quality specifications I set came out, the company turned upside down.

The former captains stayed up all night servicing the machine, and the Comet Nylon discussed it together, somehow solving the problem.

After a certain amount of time, the culture has changed to such an extent that employees voluntarily manage foreign substances.

I set up a group to clean the factory, and I asked for slippers to be provided, so I spent it as an expense.

If you set a standard, model students try to stick to it. In short, it means that I have hired the right people.

“Boss, the telex is here.”

“Uh, Miss Kim.”

Miss Kim came running from somewhere.

It was a female employee helping with paperwork and accounting.

“It’s an emergency. Emergency!”

“Emergency?”

There’s nowhere for an emergency telex to come…

「Receipt: Daese Unemployment) Chan Su-woo

From: Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) Abdul Razak

1st volume balance deposit completed: $130,000

Urgent additional order: 300,000 yards

Request Schedule: ASAP

Requested unit price: 65 cents/yard

Requested model: Same as the 1st quantity”

“Does Razak make a deposit?”

“What? You said you already got the money?”

Unbelievable. An Indian merchant who is famous for being difficult to get money gives money before he even gets it?

Also, do you order additional quantities? The quantity was also greater than the first.

“Boss, I have confirmed the payment. The bank manager called directly. Thank you for entrusting me with 130,000 dollars.”

“Wow!”

“hurray! The export payment has already come in!”

“Cheers! drink!!! drink!!”

“hurray!!!”

At Miss Kim’s words, Sambok and the staff jumped up and down in delight.

“Are you making an additional order before receiving the product as well as the deposit? What, is this happening?”

I was so happy that I was dumbfounded.

The quality of our fabrics is amazing, but how did Razak know that and place an additional order?

“Boss, it’s not just that. Additional orders, large and small, continue to come in from Singapore.”

Miss Kim handed me a bundle of telex messages.

“Heh heh!”

Not only Rajak, but also small customers in Singapore all sent additional supplies.

Combined, it seemed like it would easily exceed 400,000 yards.

oh my god! oh my god!

“Wow, now I get it. It seems that Mr. Razak has already confirmed that the sample was sent by air. That’s it!”

Sambok clapped his hands and liked it.

“is it?”

If you had seen a sample, you would have been amazed at the quality.

Because such high quality at that price is ridiculous.

“Hey, Chansu. you do a really good job He is a genius.”

“Wow! Boss, you are really amazing.”

Everyone jumped up and down with joy.

I sent the sample in advance because I was afraid that Razak would be anxious about delivery, but did you mean that he placed an additional order as soon as he saw it?

“drink! drink!!”

“Yes, yes. Everyone drink. drink!”

“hurray! Long live the mainstream unemployment!”

“hurray! hurray!”

I also shouted hurrah happily, but it was strange.

I would have thought so if only Razak had replied, but other small customers in Singapore also placed additional orders?

They couldn’t even see the sample?

‘Could it be that the incident happened in Vietnam?’

As I passed the makgeolli, I suddenly had an idea.

When four months pass in Vietnam, the supply of fabrics in Southeast Asia drops instantly, causing prices to soar.

To be precise, it was the bombing of the US embassy in Vietnam, and hundreds of Americans, including US diplomats, were killed.

I didn’t know the exact date, but I did know that the attack occurred in 1965.

Did the incident happen now?

In fact, since the Korea-US summit was originally held in the middle of 1965, it would not be strange if the US embassy terrorism occurred by now.

No, there was a high possibility that terrorism had occurred.

Since the product request date was ASAP (as soon as possible), it was clear that the situation in Southeast Asia was very urgent.

We need to check the accuracy, but we had to deal with the additional orders first.

“Sambok. Can you get the extra stock out in three months?”

“I don’t even have a chin. We are barely able to get past the existing order.”

“The class presidents clearly met the quality specifications. Can’t we just leave this to them and go out and develop additional subcontractors?”

“Hmm, I think it will be possible to produce fabric somehow. However, yarn supply and dyeing subcontracting are absolutely not allowed. It’s our secret.”

“I told Comet Nylon to increase the capper. If there is no money, we can invest some money.”

“Hey, we have a lot of money. president.”

“Sambok, I’m not kidding. Now that you have an export record, you can borrow money from the bank with an export letter of credit. If you need more money, you can sell the barter ticket at a premium.”

“Oh, yes.”

It is said that you have to row when the water comes in, and you need to increase your production capacity at the right time to meet the increasing volume.

That’s how you can grow so big that your competitors can’t follow you.

Even more, isn’t it safe to say that Comet Nylon is an affiliate of Daesae Unemployment.

This is because Comet Nylon taught me all the know-how, and I bring all the yarn produced.

“What? I think we were talking about our factory.”

“welcome. old man.”

“You should have a glass of mine too. Isn’t that right, President Woo?”

“The inspiration is given to me, so of course I have to take it.”

“Cheers!”

After toasting with me, Old Man Hwang emptied the rice wine at once. You must be in your 70s, but you are really correcting yourself.

“Tell me. What can I do?”

“Please increase the factory.”

“Huh, I increased it a while ago, but want to increase it again?”

“If at all possible, please provide proper facilities. The dyeing line is properly equipped with wastewater treatment facilities.”

“Huh, even the wastewater facility? How big do we need to expand?”

“You have to do ten times more than you do now. Two million yards a month?”

If Razak reacts this way, you have secured a basic customer. Now, we have to break through the US with the Southeast Asian market as the basis.

No, to be precise, we have to break through the US military uniform market, which was special in Vietnam.

In the original history, Japanese companies enjoyed that special advantage, but in this history, I will overwhelm them.

To do so, production cappers had to be filled in advance.

Even if the order fell, if you couldn’t get it out in time, it was like missing the meat that jumped into your bosom.

“Chansu! Two million yards.”

“… hey… aren’t you going too far?”

Sambok screamed in surprise, and old man Hwang also asked a question mixed with concern.

“Aren’t you sure about that size?”

“That’s not it. At the level of 2 million yards per month, this level of land is not enough. It means that yarn production alone should be over 300 tons per month.”

300 tons is a surprise to me, but it’s true when I calculated it. This time, 200,000 yards of fabric were shipped, and the total weight was over 30 tons.

“Isn’t it the size of the land?”

“Rather than that, it would be better to properly build a factory near the petrochemical complex at that scale. Why do you have to carry raw materials far away to polymerize?”

“!!!!!”

Oh, so in the original history, Hyesung Group moved its company to Daegu in the early 70s.

Because you can easily bring raw materials from the nearby Ulsan Petrochemical Complex.

No, in this history it is Ulsan instead of Daegu.

You just need to set up a site in the petrochemical complex from scratch.

Because the complex isn’t finished yet.

‘Wait, wait… If you build a nylon factory in Ulsan, it’s a plant. Then, do you really need to limit it to a nylon factory?’

If it’s a plant-type factory, it’s my specialty.

If we are going to build a plant, we should not stop at polymerizing nylon, but we should also produce higher quality fibers.

Honestly, to my knowledge, it may be easier to pull out polyethylene or polyurethane than nylon.

Wasn’t it a plant that was built day and night in the days of Daese Construction Plant Division?

“Old Man Hwang, can I borrow your son?”

“President Woo borrows Hyeseong?”

“Sambok-ah, if I leave my job for a month or two, there will be no problems with the export line, right?”

“What do you mean? What if the boss is away while the stock is running out? Can’t you see the additional orders came in?”

At my words, old man Hwang folded his arms and tilted his head, and Sambok became teary-eyed.

“It’s because more orders came in. You have to prepare now so you can fly in the sky.”

Even if Sambok cries, you have to leave it to him.

Even without me, I have to be able to handle this level of production on my own so that I can draw the picture I want.

“Chief Wu, are you flying through the sky?”

They said that even a tiger would come if I told them, and then President Hwang Hye-seong approached from somewhere.

“Welcome, Mr. Hwang. Would you like to go to Ulsan with me?”

“Ulsan?”

“How about building a big factory in Ulsan?”

President Hwang Hye-seong tilted his head, but he didn’t hate it.

“Chansu, what are you talking about? Our company is here, but what if Comet Nylon moves to Ulsan?”

“Where is the law that the factory is only here? When the company grows, I will go to Ulsan or wherever.”

“Well, seeing what you do, I’d sell 10 million yards, not 2 million.”

Sambok drank makgeolli as if he couldn’t do it.

“Heh heh, Chief Lee. How can we both endure it? Apparently, President Wu is going to do something big again.”

Old Man Hwang laughed and comforted Sambok.

There must be a telephone in the factory here, and sometimes it is necessary to take care of business by wire.

“Boss Wu, but who is the water supply? It won’t cost a penny or two to build a new factory.”

President Hwang Hye-seong seemed to understand that the water owner was in Ulsan.

Well, that’s not entirely wrong.

“I have to go down and find it. Wouldn’t anyone be willing to invest if we showed them our technology?”

“……”

“You bastard, don’t frown and do what President Woo tells you to do. I mean take good care of him by his side.”

Old Man Hwang slapped CEO Hwang Hye-seong on the back.

“Cheers. I will follow you wherever you are in Ulsan.”

“Follow me! Cheers!”

“for!”

“for!”

At this time, no matter what kind of toast, they shouted for good.

I don’t know what they’re doing, but everyone toasted together.

‘For heavy industry!’

Inwardly, I shouted heavy industry to myself.

Let’s enjoy it properly, Vietnam special!
