The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

Chapter 55

[Episode 55] This is not a six-month plan

woo woo-

Four excavators moved non-stop.

A mountain that is in the process of leveling the 15,000 pyeong mountain.

Standing at the top, Siwoo Lee in a suit looked down.

Land for sale with a suitable topography and good geography came out.

Originally, I had to purchase the manga for 1.5 billion won, but I was lucky.

It was sold by the owner of the land.

The luck of being able to purchase a huge piece of land of 15,000 pyeong came to Siwoo Lee.

Of course, Moon Jae-shin, Kim In-sik, and Lee Si-woo sold their feet and ran around.

‘Although it is far from the Nuri headquarters, I cannot give up the advantage of being able to purchase this amount of land for 1.5 billion won.’

The city had already taken out all the permits to take out the trees and soil from the mountains.

And there were not many private houses around.

Even if the shredders were to be built, there were no residents who would fervently oppose them.

‘I’ve been spending quite a bit of money, but… I can’t help it.’

There was only one village in this vicinity.

Siwoo Lee had to spend 10 million won as a fund for the village to work smoothly.

Even in order to change the hearts of the residents, they had to bear this amount of money.

“It’s a huge size, Mr. Lee.”

“I plan to make it not only a shredder, but also a place where scrap metal can be loaded underneath. We cannot make fun of the hard-earned land.”

“good idea. I’m worried that Nuri might be jumping over the famous mountains like this. Whoops.”

Moon Jae-shin had a lot to say as a joke, but Lee Si-woo could not hear it as a pure joke.

“You don’t have to worry. I plan to push all of Nuri’s scrap metal to a famous mountain.”

“I believe this representative will coordinate well. And I want you to show Nuri leaping beyond the famous mountains. I don’t have much time to represent myself now.”

“Do you still have to do another 10 years? There is still a lot left for Kwangwoon to learn.”

“If Kwangwoon is able to get a proper seat after he has served in the military, I will not hesitate to do anything.”

Anyway, the momentum of Myeongsan could not be maintained for long.

If there was a generational change from Moon Jae-shin to Moon Kwang-woon, it was natural to be shaken.

In the first place, Moon Jae-shin didn’t even think of any other way.

He believed that his son, Kwang-Woon Moon, would become the next president.

“I am well aware of the feelings of the CEO who thinks of Kwangwoon.”

“I want you to know that I invest in Nuri by looking at the future of Kwangwoon rather than the future of Myeongsan. The CEO is young and talented, so he will surely be able to hold Kwangwoon by his side.”

“Kwangwoon is not as incompetent as the CEO thought. The famous mountain will fly high in the era of Kwangwoon. This is not a prediction, it is a certainty.”

“Thank you for taking good care of Kwangwoon’s abilities.”

What Moon Jae-shin did best was that he entrusted Moon Kwang-woon to Lee Si-woo.

Mun Kwang-woon, who could not even grow up in a famous mountain, went to Nuri, where his talent blossomed.

“I heard from Kwangwoon. He will enlist in the military this April.”

“As the state calls it, it is natural to go without taking it out.”

It reminded me of Moon Kwang-woon, who was depressed because he had received an army warrant.

I couldn’t help it.

It was a must-visit place for any Korean man.

So Si-woo Lee and Jae-shin Moon gave Moon Kwang-woon freedom as he considered enlistment one month left.

Moon Kwang-woon no longer went to work as Nuri, meaning that he should do what he wants to do for the rest of his time.

However, he would often come to Si-Woo Lee and be his companion.

The face of Moon Kwang-woon, who is now like a real brother, suddenly came to my mind.

“I wanted to rise to the top spot with scrap metal. But with the variable of waste, the plan went awry.”

Lee Si-woo, who fixed his gaze on the noisy excavators and vehicles, told Moon Jae-shin the goal he had originally had.

“Honestly, waste would be far better for profit than scrap.”

“That’s true, but what I’ve been doing is scrap metal, so it’s unfortunate at the same time.”

“Isn’t it just a passing process? It’s difficult to get to the target from a regular junkyard. And growing from a caravan to a steel mill is a lot more difficult.”

Moon Jae-shin noticed that Si-woo Lee was not the target.

The best place to deal with scrap was, of course, the steel mill.

“How did you know that I dream of a steel mill?”

“I thought it would be inappropriate to set a target for the grand prize on the scale of the CEO. To be honest, have you not grown enough to be a target right now?”

If it wasn’t for the famous mountain as Moon Jae-shin said, Si-woo Lee might have installed a guillotine.

To have guillotine means to be a target.

If you want to be a target right now, it was at a level where you could put a guillotine.

“Once again, if CEO Lee establishes a steel mill, I hope that the No. 1 Daesang will become a famous mountain. To be honest, I am too old to dream of even a steel mill.”

“If more time passes and we go to a real steel mill, I will designate a famous mountain as the No. 1 target. Whoops.”

* * *

The business was just beginning.

A magic happened that turned a huge mountain into a flat land.

The civil engineering work that had been going on for three months was finally finished.

It would be impossible to convert all mountainous areas over 10,000 pyeong to flat land.

About 3,000 evaluations were leveled from the entrance.

And it was a job that had to do new civil works while going upstairs.

In fact, it wasn’t a six-month plan.

‘A three-year plan. We have to gradually increase the land as well as this lot.’

There was no way to utilize the 15,000 pyeong of land right now.

However, Siwoo Lee planned to make this area the territory of Nuri, centering on this land.

And I bought a shredder machine at a lower price than the average market price.

While I was doing civil engineering work, I finished all the parts necessary to install the crusher.

Now, once the electricity was pulled and the shredders installed, they could resume their activities.

It was not that other projects stopped as the civil works were progressing here.

He was moving more actively, led by Kang Pil-jung.

“how about it?”

“It is a perfect home for Nuri. The location is great and the size of the land is huge.”

“Now I have to relocate to this neighborhood… Are you confident, Manager Kang?”

“I always do my best.”

Even though it was quite far from the Nuri headquarters, the base did not disappear.

Creating new infrastructure around the area can be done quickly if we cooperate with Myungsan and The S.

“Now is the time to increase our staff.”

“That’s it. At this size, there should be at least ten people in the yard.”

“I still have a lot of money left. First of all, I bought the land cheaper than I thought. The fact that civil engineering works can only be done in the size that is needed right now is a big deal that we didn’t expect.”

“And above all else, the growth in scrap and non-ferrous metals is a big factor. This is because the net profit of scrap and non-ferrous metals doubled. I don’t know why… … .”

He was making the non-ideal profit he was enjoying now to the extent that he couldn’t understand it.

Of course, he didn’t even know.

It happened because Siwoo Lee’s ability suddenly grew.

“That’s good.”

“Yeah, but… Well, a good thing is true.”

“I think the sales team should also increase the size now. It is true that the field team also needs to increase in size, but it has now reached a level where Manager Kang cannot take responsibility for sales alone.”

“Let’s discuss this with Jun. We need to hire more knights.”

“For matters related to dispatch, Manager Kang must take full responsibility. Because it is important.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Although the business was suddenly growing in size, Kang Pil-joong was confident.

As he has done so far, he will be by Si-woo Lee’s side and take responsibility for everything.

‘Sir, can you see me? Siwoo, who you were so worried about, has grown so much now. Even if everyone leaves, I am faithfully keeping the promise that I will remain by Siwoo’s side as much as I do. Rest in peace now.’

Kang Pil-joong closed his eyes with a reverent expression and bowed his eyes.

Now, what Lee Do-woon left behind was completely passed on to Lee Si-woo.

The things that Siwoo Lee achieved in one year were not all satisfactory.

Up to this point at a small local junk store, Siwoo Lee has been doing his best in everything.

‘And now my share has grown, but I’m not worried. Siwoo is probably not a small vessel to be comforted by a company like this.’

* * *

the start of the day.

Naturally, Siwoo Lee greeted the morning with the generation of scrap and non-ferrous metals.

‘I can’t be relieved like this.’

―――――――――――――――

There are 40 days left to move up to the next Scrap Production.

He has been making scrap and non-ferrous metals every single day.

Non-ferrous production was raised from level 3 to level 4, allowing for greater profits.

To be honest, now the profit of non-ferrous metal is higher than that of scrap metal.

‘Now, if the new site becomes more usable, you won’t have to move while watching the staff.’

It was possible to generate profits of up to 90 million won per month for scrap metal and 100 million won per month for non-ferrous metals.

He expected that he would be able to pay off the interest on the loan from the bank, as well as the principal, step by step.

However, Si-Woo was not greedy.

Scrap metal was handed over to Myeongsan, and non-ferrous metal was handed over to The S.

If it was sent to a steel mill, it would have made a lot more profit, but… … .

‘Because I don’t want to betray my trust for money.’

You can make money anytime, but trust doesn’t come from wanting to.

It was also an element that could be maintained for a long time, as long as there was no deviation.

With this trust and faith, Siwoo Lee received the investment of Myeongsan and The S.

The two companies said that the amount they invested was not wasted at all.

As Wonkwang became monopolized, the unit price of waste rose to 220 won.

Wonkwang made a significant investment to build new facilities and increased the burden on other companies to recover the investment.

“You came early.”

“Isn’t it today?”

The employees who had arrived around 8:40 on time for work were all gathered in the yard at 7:30.

Because it was finally today. The day the shredder opens.

Lee Seok-jun looked at Lee Si-woo with a bright gaze.

Kang Pil-joong and Lee Jun clenched their fists, Park Tae-moon looking proudly at Lee Si-woo, and Choi Moon-sik unable to hide their happy emotions from their faces.

“It’s a pity that Kwangwoon should be there on a day like this.”

“That’s it. I wish Kwangwoon was there too.”

Moon Kwang-woon, a young man who was loved by his employees, is now in the military.

I remembered what Moon Kwang-woon said to me the day before enlisting.

– brother! Will Nuri become bigger by the time I am discharged from the military? I want it to be a place where I can learn to my heart’s content.

I was thinking of doing that.

So that Moon Kwang-Woon can learn more when he comes back to Nuri or when he returns to Myeongsan.

“Now go.”

A new beginning is always exciting.

Confidence in ‘I will do well’ was greater than worrying about ‘I will do well’.

“Now is the beginning. What I’ve done so far has been just a taste.”

Siwoo Lee walked proudly and said to the staff.
