Real Man-Chapter 493:
Chapter 493:
How to do it?
Sitting on a bench outside the C factory, Yoo-hyun checked his ringing phone.
It was a reply from the executive in charge of management, Choo Jung-hwan.
-We will take care of you through our staff. Thank you for coming all this way. Choo Jung-hwan.
He had never complained, even though Yoo-hyun had postponed his visit without any contact. He must have been frustrated, but he never showed it.
His message was very concise, after a long and silent wait.
It showed his unique calmness in a urgent situation, which revealed his personality.
“He’s definitely a fox.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled as he recalled his past memories. He knew his name and character, even though he had never met him personally.
There was a reason for that.
He was the main character of the scandal that shook the Han Sung Group.
At that time, Yoo-hyun, who was part of the group strategy team, had access to various embezzlement methods that were not reported by the media.
Among them, there was one related to the strike, and he remembered that it was very ingenious.
Yoo-hyun had focused on checking this part in advance, and finally found the result he wanted.
It was not difficult to solve the problem when he already knew the answer.
It would be over soon if he sorted out a few instigators, including him.
But his mind changed after seeing the union team staff who did their best without knowing anything.
And he made up his mind the moment he received Choo Jung-hwan’s message.
‘Let’s do it properly this time.’
Yoo-hyun’s intention was not to simply end this strike, but to clean up the root cause.
He was confident that he could make the situation bigger by using this opportunity.
“It’s good for both of us.”
It was beneficial for both the employees and the company.
Mutual benefit.
It was the proverb that burned in Yoo-hyun’s head.
Maybe he could catch the eye of not only the management support team, but also the chairman Shin Hyun-ho with this case.
Yoo-hyun smiled at the big picture in front of him.
That day, Yoo-hyun changed his plan and stayed at the Wonju factory until late.
He visited six factories and checked the problems of the Wonju factory that the union team had pointed out.
There were many problems, but the most fundamental cause was the aging of the factory.
It was such an old factory that there was no automation, and some employees had to work standing all the time because of the wrong direction of the modified conveyor belt.
The resting space was also insufficient, and the indoor air was also stuffy.
The warehouse was also messy and required a lot of work.
If it had been before, he might have ignored it, but Yoo-hyun had seen the inside of the Han Sung Precision Seosan factory.
He also knew well the situation of the LCD Ulsan factory and the home appliance Mokpo factory, so he could judge the environment of the Wonju factory objectively.
The basics were not done, so there was no way that the attendance or personnel issues were properly handled.
Yoo-hyun, who checked the situation of the night shift workers, came to one conclusion.
‘They were brave to endure this far.’
The reason why the Wonju factory did not go on strike and endured was not because the old employees were stupid.
It was because they had a lot of trust in the former factory manager, who was the oldest employee of Han Sung Precision.
But the situation changed with the reform of vice president Son Tae-bum.
The old members, including the factory manager, the executives, and the old employees, were cut off, and the people who came up from the Seosan factory took their place.
As he retraced the process, Yoo-hyun saw this as a good opportunity to overhaul everything.
As much as the people had the desire to change, adding a little chemical reaction here could turn the fire that had already started into a wildfire.
That night, Yoo-hyun finished preparing to fan the fire by looking around the dark A factory office.
The next day, Yoo-hyun, who stayed at a nearby hotel, had a leisurely morning.
There were quite a few differences from yesterday morning, besides the fact that he woke up in Wonju.
First of all, he wore a jacket with a Han Sung badge instead of a Han Sung Precision jumper.
He also applied the group strategy team authority to his ID card, and filled his wallet with enough business cards for the group strategy team.
He also entered the Wonju factory differently.
Instead of parking in the external parking lot, Yoo-hyun went straight to the vehicle entrance.
“Welcome. Please come in.”
The security guard who checked his identity immediately saluted, and at the same time, the barrier gate opened.
Chiiing.
Since it was working hours, the only car moving inside the factory was Yoo-hyun’s car, except for the work vehicles.
Yoo-hyun drove slowly along the road he had walked yesterday.
His destination was the A factory, where the production management team and the planning department were located.
There was someone waiting for him in front of the entrance.
As soon as Yoo-hyun got out of the car, he heard a greeting.
“Thank you for coming all this way. I’m Lee Sung-ryul, the production management team leader.”
“Nice to meet you, team leader Lee. I’m Yoo-hyun, the assistant manager.”
“The factory manager is waiting for you. I’ll guide you right away.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Yoo-hyun followed Lee Sung-ryul’s polite guidance and walked.
Soon after, he took a seat in a chair in the executive meeting room next to the factory manager’s office on the second floor.
There was a thick document prepared by them on the desk.
Lee Sung-ryul, who stood on the podium, started his presentation with a nervous expression.
“I will now talk about the production problems and countermeasures in case of a union strike. First of all…”
The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense whenever a negative comment came out in the presentation.
“Hmm.”
The people swallowed their saliva just by seeing Yoo-hyun’s doubtful eyes, who crossed his arms.
Swish.
When Yoo-hyun turned his head, the people who were watching his mood quickly turned their heads.
It was funny that the high-ranking people were nervous in front of a mere assistant manager, but there was a reason for that.
With Yoo-hyun’s word, the necks of the people in charge of the strike, who failed to properly handle it, could fly away.
They all anxiously tried to figure out Yoo-hyun’s intention, but Yoo-hyun kept silent with a hidden expression.
“When we proposed for the negotiation…”
Lee Sung-ryul was mentioning the details of the past labor-management negotiation, when it happened.
An Hong-gu, the factory manager who couldn’t stand the frustration, stopped the presentation for a moment.
“Team leader Lee, wait a minute.”
“Yes, sir.”
He turned his broad face toward Yoo-hyun and opened his mouth.
His voice was thick and polite, as he bit his thick lips.
“As I told you, if this strike happens, it will affect the whole group, so we are going to stop it somehow.”
“I see.”
“Please let me know if you have any good ideas. We will do anything if we can stop it.”
It was An Hong-gu, the factory manager who was largely responsible for this strike, who showed his unwilling will.
Yoo-hyun tapped the desk and lowered his voice.
“Can we talk among ourselves for a moment?”
An Hong-gu, the factory manager, blinked his eyes at Yoo-hyun’s sudden proposal.
“Just us?”
“I mean the higher-ups.”
Even though Yoo-hyun pointed it out, An Hong-gu seemed to not understand and glanced at the management support manager, Chu Jeong-hwan, who was sitting next to him.
Chu Jeong-hwan quickly got up from his seat and spoke in his thin voice.
It was a voice that matched his long chin and slit eyes.
“Team leaders, all of you, get out.”
“Yes, sir.”
At his words, eight team leaders, including Lee Seong-ryeol from production, quality, management, and planning teams, hurriedly left.
Yoo-hyun quickly scanned Chu Jeong-hwan, who sat down again.
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
He must have had a lot to say, but he didn’t show it until the end.
He was impressive for hiding his emotions.
He was definitely a suspicious person, as he had guessed.
Then, should he try to clear his doubts?
Clank.
As soon as the door closed, Yoo-hyun took out a document from his bag.
It was not as thick as the one on the desk, but it contained the information that Bae Jae-chan, the team leader, had diligently investigated.
Rustle.
As Yoo-hyun silently turned the paper, the two people sitting across the table looked puzzled.
Yoo-hyun found the page he wanted and asked in a very dry voice, without looking at them.
It felt like he was testing the two.
“The 1.8% wage increase proposal that you presented at the fourth labor-management negotiation. Is that really a reasonable figure?”
“No, they are asking for an absurd 20%…” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
An Hong-gu, who spoke up, received a sharp look from Yoo-hyun.
“Manager An. I asked Mr. Chu, the negotiation leader.”
“…”
“It was a bit excessive. But it was unavoidable for a proper negotiation.”
An Hong-gu, who clenched his mouth, stepped back, and Chu Jeong-hwan answered stiffly.
He looked calm on the outside, but his thin eyes were constantly checking Yoo-hyun’s expression.
“Unavoidable? Then, what do you think is a reasonable proposal, Mr. Chu?”
“3.8%.”
“On what basis?”
Was it because Yoo-hyun gave the impression that he had prepared everything?
Chu Jeong-hwan straightened his posture and listed the reasons.
“First of all, if you look at the financial situation of Hansung Precision…”
It was something that was not in the document that he had given in advance.
He spoke fluently without any hesitation.
And it looked very detailed and convincing.
Yoo-hyun nodded once and threw the next question.
“Then, what about the bonus?”
“I think 150% is appropriate. The reason is…”
It was the same this time.
Chu Jeong-hwan seemed to have almost perfect preparation for this strike.
It was proof that he was not only suspicious, but also thorough.
Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up slightly.
“Hmm. Not bad. Let’s take a look.”
Yoo-hyun picked up the paper that was on the desk, and Chu Jeong-hwan, who had caught the hint, got up from his seat.
He must have been hurt by the young man’s orders, but he calmly approached and took the paper that Yoo-hyun handed him.
He didn’t even show any reaction when he saw the same numbers that he had said on the document.
Thud.
As Chu Jeong-hwan put the document on the desk, An Hong-gu, who was sitting next to him, leaned his head forward.
An Hong-gu’s eyes widened as he checked the part that Yoo-hyun had marked.
He lowered his head and whispered to Chu Jeong-hwan.
“Did you investigate this beforehand? If so…”
“No. Rather, it’s good. The more prepared they are, the more they will fall for it.”
“What do you mean? If they find out our situation, what are you going to do?”
“They wouldn’t have done this if they knew.”
An Hong-gu, who was reassured by Chu Jeong-hwan, pretended to admire Yoo-hyun.
“It must have been a lot of work, you prepared a lot.”
“I had someone who helped me. But I’m surprised by your preparation, Mr. Chu.”
“What part is that?”
“To be honest, I doubted you because the results were not good until the fourth negotiation.”
“Doubted?”
Chu Jeong-hwan asked with a puzzled look, and Yoo-hyun threw a meaningful question.
“Weren’t you trying to provoke a strike on purpose?”
For a moment, An Hong-gu’s face turned red, and Chu Jeong-hwan quickly composed himself.
“Why would I do that? We’re all dead if there’s a strike.”
“You know that well. You won’t even dream of keeping your position. You’ll be lucky if you don’t get disciplined.”
Yoo-hyun’s harsh words made Chu Jeong-hwan swallow his saliva, but he also poked his weakness.
“Chairman must be very angry. It’s natural.”
“Yes. Chairman will be angry, and the group strategy room will also be responsible…”
Thinking it was his chance, An Hong-gu rudely interrupted.
“Hey, are you threatening us to die together?”
“Huh? No, no, that’s not…”
“Haha, I’m kidding. Kidding. Why are you so flustered?”
“…”
At Yoo-hyun’s laugh, An Hong-gu’s face turned red.
Chu Jeong-hwan, who had been hiding his expression, also looked displeased.
Yoo-hyun pretended to be embarrassed and clasped his palms together.
“I’m sorry, my joke was too much. To the people who are in the same boat as me.”
“To be honest, I don’t feel very pleasant. We are really doing our best to save the factory.”
Chu Jeong-hwan came out stronger, as if Yoo-hyun showed weakness.
He seemed confident that he had figured out his opponent.
He was trying to take the initiative.
