The Legend of Return
Chapter 496. True education (3)
“I understand. Then we’ll see you tomorrow.”
Kang Il-gwon, chairman of the Samryong Motors Union, ended the call.
“Who are you?”
Jeong Seong-dong, the senior vice chairman, asked who he was talking to on the phone.
Unlike in the past, the Samryong Automobile Labor Union has lost its prestige.
Almost nothing was gained from the 2009 prison strike.
After the IMF disbanded Daewoong, it was taken over by Shanghai Railways in China.
Even then, it was a union that was delighted with the expectation that it would aim for the Chinese market.
However, the Wangseobangs skipped Samryong’s technique and ventured to eat.
There was almost no investment promised, and he borrowed money from a Korean bank to survive, stealing all the necessary technology and returning to his home country.
made a willful bankruptcy
Although complaints were rampant, the government did not actively step forward and was indifferent.
There was no intention to pay high labor costs for Samryong Motors in the first place.
There was no new car launch, and it continued to sell cars as if it were a dead end, and suffered a loss in sales.
The unions did not stop the strike either.
Knowing that the state would not be able to liquidate large-scale businesses, he went through a struggle.
It would have worked well in other administrations, but it was no match for President Choi Byung-bak, a thorough merchant.
Court receivership began and staff were cut.
The employees of Samryong Motors, which are stronger than other automobile companies, did not stand still.
Occupied factories and went on strike.
A battle resembling a war broke out.
However, the union was defeated.
As the Korean economy turned into a precarious situation due to the US financial crisis, it did not receive support from the people.
Public opinion was not good as the image of a strong union was hardened.
Voluntary retirement and forced layoffs began.
Blacklisted union members fell into hardship due to the seizure of damages for an illegal strike.
The helpless Samryong Union.
But there was a glimmer of hope.
An Indian automobile company has been sounding out a takeover.
At the same time, American funds also participated in the acquisition.
Terms and conditions were exchanged between creditor banks.
Unions could not stand still.
The dismissed workers were put on the condition of reinstatement.
Indian companies were reluctant, but American companies accepted.
The union was greedy.
Although they superficially withdrew from the metal branch of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions, the union chairman and members were members of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions to the core.
It was added as a condition of withdrawing wages and bonuses that were not received after the strike and an active damage lawsuit.
Naturally, the US acquisition side expressed disapproval of the condition.
“You’ll see it tomorrow at the American acquirer.”
“is it so?”
“Looks like you have a sweet body.”
“I think I need to go a little harder. If we compete with the Indian side, the ransom must rise.”
“It’s not enough with the clever government’s legal manager. We were pushed back last year, but not anymore… We have to tighten up a little tighter and take what we can!”
“The Chairman is right. Is it our fault that the company went bankrupt? The problem is the executives who messed up management.”
“okay. What are the workers doing? We have nothing but sins that made us die.”
Chairman Kang Il-kwon and Senior Vice Chairman Jeong Seong-dong met their eyes and smiled.
“Let’s make one more condition.”
“With what?”
“It was difficult for the children of the union members to study because of the strike. So….. I think it would be nice to join the company first when hiring employees. I heard that the solidarity side is pushing that way too.”
“Isn’t that too strong?”
“When you push, you have to push. Otherwise, we are the only ones who get sick by conceding this and that.”
“good! Let’s give it a shot.”
“It feels good. Would you like to drink soju today?”
“Is that so?”
“I think it would be a good idea to convene the executive members and talk about tomorrow’s meeting.”
“Then see you all tonight.”
“I’ll call you right away!”
Samryong Motors Union Office is lively.
They couldn’t even imagine.
What kind of person will they meet tomorrow?
***
“It’s calming.”
“Since the sales volume is also decreasing after the strike, the neighborhood is quiet. After all, Samryong Motors hasn’t been a profitable car company since the old days.”
“So it’s more annoying. I know that the conditions presented by the CEO are absurdly favorable conditions in a situation like this, but for you to act like that… I can’t forgive you.”
Do Do-hee still hasn’t resolved her anger.
Yesterday at a dinner party, he drank a lot and cursed at the union while losing his mind early.
Still, he showed up early in the morning armed with his signature office look.
As the lineage of Chairman Do Woon-joong, he had great mental strength.
“Everything has arrived.”
In preparation for possible violence, CEO Han Jin-woong drove the car himself.
Security staff also moved to another car.
I had to protect a precious female employee from strong labor union members who would do anything when they were angry.
“Did you say that the bank and the legal manager will attend?”
“I have to work until my feet sweat to get money.”
Do-hee’s cold iron rule.
It was essential for the organization.
Kirik.
The car stopped.
I came out of the training center just yesterday and was involved in such a big incident in one day.
It was summer, so the weather was hot.
The rainy season has begun in earnest.
Dududududududududududududuuk.
As soon as I got out of the car, heavy raindrops, like a localized shower, suddenly poured down.
Chuck.
CEO Han Jin-woong opened an umbrella.
“I will.”
“I have the boss umbrella…”
“I have all my hands. This is what bad bosses do in movies.”
“…..”
CEO Han Jin-woong stepped down.
“CEO~ I don’t have an umbrella.”
In this situation, Do-hee Do-hee grabbed my arm and came to work.
“Sangmu Do, would you like an umbrella?”
Lawyer Cho laughed and made fun of Managing Director Doh Do-hee.
“I’m sorry~. The representative is my umbrella. Hehe.”
I walked on the asphalt in the parking lot with managing director Doh Do-hee.
step by step.
About 10 security staff guarded the surroundings with umbrellas.
The employees of the Samryong car looked at us with interest as we moved.
On a sunny summer day, we arrived at the conference room of Samryong Motors headquarters.

“Does Mr. Jung know about today’s work?”
“They are related to the US side.”
“…What kind of time is it spending so much time on? finish quickly.”
Jeong Yeong-tae, executive director of Samryong Motors, who was appointed as co-court manager at the court, and Lim Yu-il, former president of Yantai Motors, had a conversation.
Although he was a legal manager with the same authority, Lim Yoo-il, a former president of Yantai Motors and sent by the regime, had the upper hand.
Most of the decisions were made in the hands of Lim Yoo-il.
The union put forward a 50% wage cut, permission for rotation work, and investment in new car development expenses as severance pay, but Lim Yoo-il called in the police and sorted it out at once.
He was well-received by the government.
This incident was related to McCurry, where the son of Choi Sang-deuk, the older brother of the current president, works.
McCurry had promised to sell it to an Indian company at a bargain price, so he pushed hard.
In a state where public sentiment was turned by candlelight, union members were turned into vile people through manipulation of public opinion.
As expected, over 2,600 full-time employees were cut.
Reasonable layoffs were implemented, including voluntary retirement and unpaid leave.
Strong unions also played a role.
I should have appealed to public opinion and had more self-respect, but I couldn’t forget the splendid past and came out strong.
In a battle of strength and power, the union was utterly defeated.
Beep.
[Investors say they have arrived.]
The intercom in the representative office used by the legal manager rang.
“egg plant.”
“All right.”
Young-tae Jeong, managing director, followed Yoo-il Lim.
‘What the hell is the plan?’
Jeong Yeong-tae, an executive of Samryong, looked at Lim Yu-il’s back with a complicated gaze.
Lim Yoo-il frequently spoke with politicians on the phone.
Every time that happened, the union members were cut off.
Lim Yu-il, the former CEO of Yeondae Motors, lives with a sinister plot.
With arrogant steps, he headed to the place where he met investors.
slither.
The door to the headquarters conference room opened.
At the entrance, there were bodyguards who seemed to have come with investors.
‘What are these?’
Lim Yu-il looked at the sturdy bodyguards and made an impression.
The habit of being the president of the Yantai Automobile Company, which once had tens of thousands of employees, was still there.
Although he was a court official, he had a close relationship with current President Choi Byung-bak from the days of solidarity.
So I was stuck here and I was pushing forward with the work.
Lim Yu-il went inside first, frowning.
A pretty woman named Do Do-hee whom I had seen several times and a lawyer named Jo Yoon-tae from Samwoo Law Firm were waiting.
Then, I saw a sleek-looking young man with short hair on a face I had never seen before.
In Lim Yu-il’s eyes, he looked like an attendant.
“welcome. Attorney Joe.”
Since he was a legal manager, Lim Yoo-il hid his emotions and shook hands with the lawyer at the law firm.
“I think it would be appropriate to ask CEO Jang Tae-san here to shake hands first, not me.”
“!!!”
Lawyer Jo Yoon-tae pointed to the young man next to him.
‘Jangtaesan….. Could it be that Jangtaesan?’
Lim Yu-il was taken aback by what lawyer Cho said.
Jang Tae-san was the young CEO of an investment company that is being talked about in the business world these days.
He became famous for investing in the Ahn Group and the Cheonil Group.
That’s why he appeared here.
‘This…it’s a big deal.’
The thought that the things I was instructed from above could go wrong crossed my mind.
Immediately, Lim Yoo-il’s complexion changed.
“Where are you bad?”
Jang Tae-san asked with an unpleasant grin.
“Oh no. This is Lim Yoo-il, Samryong’s legal guardian.”
Lim Yoo-il straightens his posture and shakes hands.
“This is Jang Tae-san, the CEO of LOR Investment Corporation, who came to us at the request of investors. i look forward to.”
He was polite for a young boy.
‘I’m not someone to be taken lightly.’
Lim Yu-il was tense inside.
“My name is Jung Yeong-tae, co-administrator.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Jang Tae-san.”
The young man didn’t show any signs of shrinking at all.
I also shook hands with manager Jeong Young-tae.
“The sound of rain in the rainy season seems to be better today.”
He led the atmosphere in the conference room with a joke.
The lawyer and the woman in charge of foreign investors next to him also put forward a representative.
Naturally, the atmosphere revolved around Mount Jangtae.
“It’s great…”
Yuil Lim, who was the president of a large company, did not like this atmosphere.
“Didn’t the bank participate?”
“I have been entrusted with the 1st authority.”
Lim Yoo-il showed off his power as if he were showing off.
It was an implicit expression that even banknotes had an upper line that could be moved.
“is it so?”
‘That child… I don’t like the look in your eyes.’
Lim Yu-il’s face hardened at Jang Tae-san’s penetrating eyes.
Like a professional entrepreneur who runs a big company, I couldn’t guess what was inside.
slither.
Then the door opened.
Five union members appeared with red bands on their heads.
“Looks like we’re late.”
Chairman Kang Il-gwon sat down on the union side and talked.
drooling.
A five-member union executive took place.
Pababat.
The labor union executives, who were not on good terms with court administrators, all glared at Lim Yoo-il.
A tense tension flowed.
“That’s right. We who came from the farthest are the first to come….. Everyone is messed up with guests. There is no word of sorry…”
Jang Tae-san opened his mouth with emotionless words.
“???”
The executive union members looked at Jang Tae-san, who was very young, as if he was dumbfounded.
In a word, ‘what are you doing?’ gaze.
“I am Jang Tae-san, who has been dispatched for due diligence on behalf of investors.”
Jang Tae-san reveals his name once again.
“!!!”
A look of bewilderment flashed across the union members’ faces.
“I want to say one more thing before we go into the meeting. You look like the members of the Samryong union… Can’t you take off the red belt on your head?”
