The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 166
[166] Two-sided interview 1
“It is essential to use a new person that suits you, but you cannot despise an old person. I have to make the back of the person who is stepping back beautiful. It’s a big deal if you feel insulted.”
It was a heart that was concerned about the end of the people who had been together for a long time.
Since it was our first meeting, I didn’t go out too far, so I wanted to put my grandfather’s mind at ease.
“I will leave them as they are for the time being. If you show enough capacity, I don’t think I’ll replace it.”
“no.”
“yes?”
“It’s just a matter of timing, but I need to organize all of those friends. We need to let all employees know that times have changed. Hitting the head is the most effective way to make you feel that your time has come, not mine.”
also.
It’s not about thinking about people.
“We need to minimize the negative effects of clearing those friends. Still, they were loyalists of Sunyang. It means that no one will come out who thinks that they will be ruthlessly cut off as their future. A person who feels betrayed always betrays. Do you know why?”
“Isn’t it because you can justify your betrayal?”
“That’s it.”
Grandpa looked at me and smiled.
“If it is impeccable until the very end, treat it to the extent that you will not feel sorry for it, and if there are flaws that can be accepted by everyone even if it is a problem, clean it up ruthlessly. The rest of their life as a cruiser should serve as an example to the people of the company. For better or for worse.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
I was about to laugh out loud.
Doesn’t my grandfather not have a single bit of sympathy or old age? Yang Woo-chan, president of Sunyang Life Insurance, has shared the joys and sorrows for over 30 years, but he does not show any consideration for him.
Will I be like this too?
“I will meet Executive Director Jang Do-hyung. We will decide what to do after that.”
“Executive Director Jeong is a guy I don’t know very well, but he has a good reputation. really! He won’t be easygoing.”
“Isn’t it shocking to have risen from Sunyang to Executive Director at that age?”
“If you and Juk get along well, a good combination will come out. haha.”
It should fit well.
Jang Do-hyung, executive director, is a person who rises to the rank of vice president but eventually slips away.
It was because when Jin Young-ki took over the chairmanship and started changing waters, he was dissatisfied with Jang Do-hyung’s challenging and aggressive business management method.
To Jin Young-gi, Sunyang’s financial affiliates were just a place to keep his controlling stake and a piggy bank from which he drew money whenever needed.
It was impossible for Jang Do-hyung, who wanted to develop such a company globally by making it the base of a global financial network, to get along with Jin Young-ki.
Jin Yeong-ki promoted those who conform to his ideas to CEO, and Jang Do-hyung could not escape the burden of Tosa Gupaeng.
This is a hidden story I know, but I have to check it out.
Is Jang Do-hyeong the right person for me? Do you really have the ability to grow into a global company?
* * *
“This sounds a bit bizarre, doesn’t it? I don’t really get along with Chief Jin… Ah, can I call you Chief?”
“yes. That makes me comfortable too, Mr.
It’s the size of an apartment, but it’s an empty officetel with a comfortable sofa set and a table.
The first words of Jang Do-hyung, the executive director who entered the place after opening the door, were that it was bizarre and that it did not suit me.
What doesn’t fit?
“Would you like a drink? Or coffee? car?”
“If you have a can of beer, it’s lightly thirsty.”
He took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and set them on the table.
“President Yang smiled and said that he was beaten badly. Is that true?”
Jang Do-hyung, executive director, said with an awkward smile.
“If you were treated badly, would you have told someone below you? You must be a proud person.”
Look at this.
Didn’t this bastard try to find out what was going on that day?
“haha. Then you said it like a joke to scare me. I took it seriously again. I just looked like an idiot.”
I swallowed a sip of canned beer as if I was about to slip away.
“Then why did you ask to see me…?”
“I have a question for you. As you may already know, I will inherit the Sunyang Group’s financial part.”
“yes. I know.”
“But I am different from my uncles. I have no intention of running a large position within the company.”
“I am surprised.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung put down the can of beer in his hand and straightened his posture.
“You never know what happens inside a building from the outside. Closing data is not everything. The energy of the air that you feel when you enter the lobby of the building, the expressions of the employees moving back and forth, the murmur of the office. These are the true face of the company.”
“is that so?”
I listened to what he had to say with a look of surprise on my face.
“There are no big positions like president and vice president in the company system. But to anyone who walks into the lobby of the building with this position on their forehead, everyone bows 90 degrees.”
“I don’t like that look. Isn’t that a bit old? I’m not a gangster…”
“It’s because you don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
“The snobbishness of salary earners.”
“snob?”
This guy is a bit unique. Is this what your grandfather said about not being easy?
“As if you were polite to the family of the group owner… As you said, 99% of salaried workers who bow their heads as if they were dealing with a gang leader leave the company without saying a word to the chairman.”
“I guess so.”
“Don’t they know that? But if the chairman comes up to me and shakes my hand just once, everything changes. He is special, not the 99%. You will have these fantasies.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“If you don’t want a position, doesn’t it mean that you will only check your performance every year and replace executives, including the CEO, when the performance is poor?”
“Exactly.”
“It is Western. Just because the system is westernized doesn’t make it an advanced management. People also have to adapt to the Western-style system, but in Korea, masters and servants, masters and loyal subjects… This kind of thinking is deeply embedded in our bones.”
“Don’t you know that we are now in the 21st century?”
I said this, but it is true that I was a little surprised.
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung is really unique.
I know very well.
The slavish spirit embedded in the bones of ordinary people who set their own line and never look or dream above it.
Even the person with the biggest aspirations ends up being the CEO. The dream of aiming for the president is treated as crazy.
However, I take it for granted that the second generation, who is not the founder, has done nothing and has no ability, takes the position. The limit is to think of yourself as a loyal servant of the founder’s family, who has grown the company into a conglomerate.
However, this is the first person to admit and analyze this fact. don’t you have any pride?
“I ask again. So what do you want to say?”
“Even if you are not doing anything, it means that you are sitting at the top.”
“Is that necessary? Does each affiliate have a great boss?”
“Those great bosses are no exception. They too were the ones who acted under the direction, rightly or wrongly. forever. It’s a farmhand. You feel comfortable when you do what you are told to do. I do what I am told because I do not have to take responsibility.”
“Responsibility… it weighs more than you think. Sometimes it’s too much to bear.”
Jang Do-hyung’s eyes twinkled.
“Will someone you know step back with just a shareholder status? Is it because of your age?”
“Externally, because of my age, internally, I have to take care of my body.”
Did that person understand the meaning of these words?
“Ah…”
The expression seems to understand.
Managing Director Jang Do-hyeong lowered his voice after taking a cool sip of beer.
“It looks very fierce, doesn’t it?”
“A bit like that. It’s not a family that inherits an apartment.”
Executive Director Jang Do-hyung nodded his head and muttered lowly.
“Chief Jin seems to be something like Jaws in the family.”
“Jaws? You mean the movie? shark?”
“yes.”
“Why? You don’t think I’m a terrifying being that eats everything, right?”
“It’s not like that… All the characters in the movie know that there is something under the sea, but they don’t know the exact identity. I don’t know the size, I don’t know the aggression. But I know for sure that it exists. I know that one day they will attack. That’s what I’m afraid of.”
“So you’re holding me back?”
“Actually, Jaws would be scary too. Because he thinks that beings on the water might harm him. The manager is probably worse than that. As soon as Sunyang’s core affiliates are occupied, the adults in the family will attack them. It’s… how to say that someone like me can’t fathom that kind of pressure.”
Does this person know anything?
Or do you only know the level that everyone guesses?
Jaws. That’s an appropriate analogy. But I’m glad no one knows the size of my teeth.
“Can you handle it?”
“What do you mean?”
“If it is known that I trust Executive Director Jang Do-hyung, there will be many difficult things. Some will threaten and some will try to appease. Anyway, all sorts of things will happen.”
“If you give me the authority to use that particular thing according to the situation, I have no reason to refuse.”
His voice rose again and the corners of his mouth rose. The complexion also turned a little red. This person doesn’t try to hide his excitement.
Are you the combative type who enjoys fighting?
“You are not the type to think deeply. I only said trust, but I haven’t made any concrete proposals yet, so you accepted it so quickly.”
“I never accepted it. I was going to listen and decide what authority you would suggest.”
I could guess what kind of person he was by the smile on his face.
This person has no servility.
He is a person suitable for the Western-style system mentioned above.
However, it was not that I was frustrated that such a system did not work in Sunyang, nor did I try to change it. In that case, super-fast promotion would have been impossible.
Lee Ja is accepting the present as it is and finding his own way.
“Shall we do this much for today?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it an interview to find out what kind of person the other person is? Decisions are made slowly and over time.”
“There is no equal. Director Jin is the one who chooses, I am in a position where I have to be chosen. It is distinctly different.”
“haha. You seem so proud and relaxed for being in a position where you have to be chosen? There seemed to be nothing to regret.”
“I pretended to be like that. I am shaking quite a bit.”
It’s a little confusing whether it’s honest or sly. I think it’s the latter
. Everyone praises you as the future CEO of Sunyang Life Insurance.”
“Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi, rather than Vice Chairman Jin Dong-gi, I am waiting for the help of the former chief.”
“Me?”
“yes.”
“Why? ah…! I’m still young, can I sleep as I want? What is this?”
“you’re welcome. If it was someone who would play in my hands, there is no way that Chairman Jin would inherit the core affiliates. Doesn’t that mean that you are still young, but you are already outstanding enough to be chosen by the president?”
I have to admit that Executive Director Jang Do-hyeong is quick-witted. And there seems to be something more. What is it?
Maybe we should talk for quite some time today.
