I met with an official from the Korea Ginseng Corporation’s overseas division to discuss exporting to Kenya, but the response was not very positive.
I visited and talked to Ilhwa and the Yakult division as well as here, but had to leave after being told that there was no volume to take out due to the large volume being exported to China.
After hearing from KT&G that the next five years would be difficult due to the increased volume of supplies to airport duty-free shops under the name of ‘CheongKwanJang’, Kim Cheol-soo and Choi Sang-guk left the building.
“It’s a pity that there is demand but we can’t export because we don’t have the product.”
Compared to Sales Division 3, Sales Division 1, which was in charge of exporting household appliances, machines, and other household goods, had grown so large that it seemed like it was putting life and death on even small contracts.
Choi Sang-guk looked back at the KT&G building several times, as if he was feeling regretful, and then asked Kim Cheol-soo.
“Does it have to be a product from a big company?”
Kim Cheol-soo thought about his words for a moment and then shook his head.
“I think other products could work as long as the effect is clear.”
“In the past, while working with Habitat for Humanity, I heard that the local agricultural cooperative deals with ginseng. How about visiting the local agricultural cooperative?”
“But if it were just plain ginseng, I probably wouldn’t buy it. “It has to be made into a product that’s easy to eat.”
“We’ll have to find a processing plant.”
“yes. “For now, let’s go back to work after lunch and take a look.”
“I will. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
tell me exactly
Shintobuli.
It was a marketing method that came out after the foreign exchange crisis.
There has been a campaign for a long time that says, ‘Do not use, eat, or buy products imported from foreign countries, but only buy Korean products.’
And the wave of well-being that has blown since the 2002 World Cup!
As a result, various health foods came out, and red ginseng was one of the best health foods.
As domestic demand overflowed and demand in China grew, domestic red ginseng manufacturers were growing rapidly.
Red ginseng produced domestically was not keeping up with customer demand.
‘I didn’t think of this.’
While looking for a red ginseng manufacturer, Kim Cheol-su found out about the current state of red ginseng in Korea and sighed briefly.
“why?”
Lee Jun-hak, who heard the sigh, got up and came next to Kim Cheol-soo.
“It seems difficult to find a supplier of red ginseng.”
“Is it that much?”
“After researching, that’s what I found.”
“see······.”
Lee Jun-hak thought about something for a while and then spoke to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Search for ‘Act on Health Functional Foods.’”
After hearing Lee Jun-hak’s words, Kim Cheol-soo quickly searched with that search term.
I checked and found that as of January 1, 2004, the government can only sell processed foods such as capsules, powders, granules, liquids, and pills whose safety has been verified by the Korea Food and Drug Administration.
Anything that was not certified by the government was illegal.
“Ah! If you do this.”
Kim Cheol-soo exclaimed as if he realized something, and Lee Jun-hak nodded and said.
“Contact the Food and Drug Safety Administration and find out which companies are currently receiving red ginseng-related health food verification.”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded his head loudly and answered.
“There may be companies that have not yet found a market, and there may be companies that want to enter overseas markets instead of the domestic market that Cheong Kwan-jang dominates.”
“That’s right! That’s accurate.”
“As expected, it’s Manager Lee!”
Lee Jun-hak smiled at those words and pointed to Lee Han-su’s empty seat.
While the bosses were out for a smoke, an important buyer phone call came in, but Lee Han-soo was away, and Lee Jun-hak completely ruined it afterwards.
He then ran away somewhere crying and his whereabouts became unknown.
“Please do something to that bastard. He is a torturer. Torturer.”
“In Manager Lee’s eyes, don’t all new employees look like advisors?”
“Huh? How do you know that?”
“Even when I first joined the company, it was so difficult that I almost died.”
Even though he came back from the past.
Lee Jun-hak smiled and tilted his head as if he was dumbfounded.
“I don’t remember. Hey, anyway, how can a guy who can’t even make copies do his job properly? I won’t be so upset if I follow your heels at least.”
“From what I heard, you are a junior in college?”
“If you’re a junior or a junior, and you can’t work, you’re all the same to me.”
“Um, okay. I’ll be there to watch over you.”
“Okay. Teach me well so I don’t get upset.”
“Is that really why you helped me?”
Lee Jun-hak giggled at those words.
“Was that sense built into you from birth?”
“Hahaha. No way.”
Lee Jun-hak returned to his seat with a happy expression, and Kim Cheol-soo turned his eyes to the monitor.
When working as a boss, one small mistake often turns into a huge loss, so I had to be extremely disciplined from the beginning of my employment.
In addition, since there are numerous variables at work and this brings with it a great deal of stress, the intention was to create such an environment on a daily basis to keep people on their toes.
Kim Cheol-soo immediately contacted the Food and Drug Safety Administration, secured a list of companies currently receiving government certification, and organized it.
Then I printed out the data and took it to Choi Sang-guk.
“Sang-guk.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Kim.”
Kim Cheol-soo showed the list to Choi Sang-guk and told him the story he had with Lee Jun-hak.

“Ah! Why didn’t I think of this?”
“I didn’t even think of that.”
“Are you Assistant Manager Kim?”
“Chief Lee Jun-hak told me. You know that he’s an Incredible boss.”
Choi Sang-guk nodded as if he acknowledged those words.
After working as a businessman for about 10 years, you accumulate knowledge about things that the general public does not know.
He knows the ins and outs of grains such as corn, wheat, soybeans, and rice, and knows why wheat from Ukraine cannot enter Vietnam.
Also, I was wondering which country of origin rice would be imported into our country this year.
He also had sufficient knowledge of areas such as finance, logistics, and legal affairs to move the grain, so he was always ready to the point where he would reflexively come up when someone asked.
“If we’re not talking, it seems like we’re the same people, but if we talk over drinks, it’s really surprising that it’s incredible. Haha. So, can we split this up and contact the company in question?”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded at those words.
“Yes. First, let’s look for places that are interested in exporting to Africa. And it would be a good idea to compile a list of positive companies and meet them in person.”
“In the case of Kenya’s ATC, it is a company that we must take good care of, so it would be important to weed out companies that sell bad products by deception.”
Cheolsu Kim smiled and nodded.
“Hahaha. That’s good.“
They all graduated from good schools, passed the interview process, and were recognized for their potential.
Jang Yu-mi is like that, and Choi Sang-guk is like that.
The rapid growth was visible.
“Then we will confirm, have a short meeting in the afternoon, and select a company.”
“Yes. After selecting the company, I will report to Manager Yang. From then on, we will have to take care of it.”
“All right.”
“Okay then. I’ll see you later.”
“Yes. I guess this will be Sang-guk’s first project?”
Choi Sang-guk nodded repeatedly.
“I want to do well.”
“Fighting.”
“You too, sir.”
As Kim Cheol-su returned to his seat, he found Lee Han-su lingering at the office entrance.
‘Everyone was like that when they got bullied by Manager Lee Jun-hak.’
Hansoo Lee.
Kim Cheol-soo also knew this person.
Successor of Shido Group.
But in the past, the time when he joined the company was not now.
Two years early, I joined the company as a new employee with no experience.
In any case, it would be beneficial in many ways to become close to the person who would inherit the city and city group.
“Mr. Hansoo?”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Lee Han-soo was startled and flinched.
He had always been a confident, witty, and humorous person, but now he looked like a scared puppy with its tail wagging.
“Ah······. Assistant manager.”
“Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Yes… sir.”
“Follow me.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who went up to Sky Garden, put two 100 won coins into the vending machine.
“Is vending machine coffee okay?”
Although he had never eaten it before, Hansoo Lee kept nodding his head.
“yes.”
I handed one of the two cups of coffee to Hansoo Lee and went to the bench and sat together.
Hansoo Lee slightly stuck out his tongue and tasted the coffee. He seemed to like the sweetness of the coffee and began to sip it.
‘It’s a baby. baby.’
Kim Cheol-soo chuckled when he saw the scene.
If Manager Lee Jun-hak had seen it, there would have been an uproar.
Kim Cheol-soo also took a sip of coffee.
“You don’t want to quit your job already, do you?”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Lee Han-soo stiffened as if he was startled.
“Oh, no.”
“I think so?”
“no.”
“You’d better make a choice quickly. From what I’ve experienced, Manager Lee Jun-hak has the worst temper in the company.”
“Whew···.”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Lee Han-su sighed deeply several times like an old man.
“and…”
Kim Cheol-soo pointed at himself with his finger and said.
“The person who survived down there is right in front of you.”
“Really? Manager Lee Jun-hak was Assistant Manager Kim’s commander?”
“Of course. I almost died too. Well, even though my personality is a bit difficult, I’m not that kind of person on the inside.”
Kim Cheol-soo’s soft voice seemed to have finally left Lee Han-soo speechless.
“It’s my first day as a new employee, and isn’t this manager really being too harsh? I’ve never been treated like this even in the military.”
Hansoo Lee expressed his dissatisfaction earnestly, and Cheolsoo Kim listened silently.
“I wonder why they treat you like that from day one?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you know what a salesperson does?”
“Yes, roughly.”
Kim Cheol-soo shook his head at those words.
“That’s the problem.”
“yes?”
“That roughly is the problem. Would you like to talk about exactly what Mr. Hansoo does as a salesperson at a general trading company, especially as a trader in the grain team?”
In response to Kim Cheol-soo’s question, Lee Han-soo kept his mouth shut, as if he were in a state of confusion.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t explain in detail what I had to do.
Kim Cheol-su sipped his coffee and waited for a while, but there was no answer for a long time.
It was a natural result.
“Last year, our company’s average sales were $6 billion, and there were about 40 salespeople who generated this sales. On average, one salesperson is responsible for sales of $105 million. Everything from contracts to customs clearance and transportation. “You have to pay attention. One salesperson is responsible for the entire process.”
Lee Han-su swallowed his saliva and listened to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Mistakes are not tolerated. It’s a job that requires you to be on your toes all the time and on your toes. You also have to answer calls from buyers all the time, day and night. That’s why all salespeople have to be elite. The word ‘roughly’ means “It’s impossible to bring it up. You have to answer with numbers, clear evidence, and accurate content.”
“iced coffee…”
Kim Cheol-soo continued speaking without changing his expression.
“From that perspective, Mr. Lee Han-soo has gone a long way. Manager Lee Jun-hak can be frustrated.”
“But I haven’t shown anything yet. I couldn’t.”
Lee Han-soo looked directly at Kim Cheol-soo and spoke as if retorting, and Kim Cheol-soo chuckled.
“What can Hansu do now?”
“that is······.”
“Tell me exactly.”
“hmm······.”
After opening the door several times, Hansoo Lee lowered his head deeply and sighed.
Lee Han-soo, who entered the best university in Korea thanks to his incredible family background, personal connections, and natural hard work, thought that the corporate life he had experienced before as the successor to the city and city group was just a piece of gum.
I thought I would get into trouble with the general trading company of the Korean-English group, which is similar in size to the city and city group.
“Can we meet with the buyer right away and sign a contract?”
“…no.”
“Can I do customs clearance?”
Hansoo Lee shook his head.
“Can you check the waybill and follow up by contacting the shipping company?”
“I’ve never tried it.”
“What about photocopying?”
Hearing those words, Hansu Lee lowered his head.
I can’t believe I felt so frustrated with the questions of the young assistant manager in front of me who seemed younger than me.
“In 28 years of living, have you never made a copy?”
“That. That.”
“That’s reality, Mr. Hansoo. Don’t confuse reality with delusion.”
Lee Jun-hak was yelling, but the young assistant manager in front of him was quietly stabbing his chest with a dagger.
Lee Han-soo wanted to tell him who he was right away, but he thought that doing so would only make him more miserable, so he nodded.
“Now that I think about it, you’re right, Assistant Manager.”
‘Hoo?’
Looking at Lee Han-soo, who was quite quick to agree for a second-generation chaebol, Kim Cheol-soo still took a sip of coffee without changing his expression.
“Manager Lee Jun-hak is a businessman with the most outstanding skills in our company. How about holding on a little longer and being open to the possibility of what you will be like in a year?”
At those words, Lee Han-soo looked at Kim Cheol-soo for a long time.
‘Give me a bottle and give me medicine. This person is real.’
“Will it be okay in a year? Manager Lee Jun-hak.”
“It depends on what Mr. Hansoo does.”
“I’m not confident. I haven’t really experienced anything like this…”
Lee Han-soo sighed again, and Kim Cheol-soo frowned slightly.
“Uh! Assistant Manager Kim!”
Kim Cheol-soo turned his gaze toward the doorway, and Jang Yu-mi approached, waving her hand.
Next to her, there was a new employee who was following her around.
Lee Han-soo also turned his gaze and looked at Jang Yu-mi, and his dark face quickly brightened, and Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter as he looked at Lee Han-soo.
‘Even if the past changes, there may be some parts that do not change.’
I went to work now
“Mr. Byeong-il, this is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Department 3.”
“Ah! Hello! I’ve heard a lot about you, Assistant Manager Kim. I’m Park Byeong-il, a new employee in Sales Department 2!”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded while lightly greeting Park Byeong-il.
“Nice to meet you. Yumi is the gunner?”
Jang Yu-mi shook her head and answered.
“It’s not time to welcome the deputy commander yet.”
“Ah! Then Assistant Manager Park Dong-jin?”
As Jang Yu-mi nodded, Kim Cheol-soo looked at Park Byeong-il with a pitiful expression for a moment.
Then Lee Han-soo, who was next to Kim Cheol-soo, quickly greeted Jang Yu-mi.
“This is Hansu Lee, a new employee in Sales Department 3.”
“Ah! We met in the copy room in the morning, right?”
“yes.”
“I’m Jang Yu-mi, an employee in the 2nd sales department. I’m a senior with Gi-soo Han. I’m in the same company as Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.”
At those words, Lee Han-soo and Park Byeong-il opened their eyes wide and looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo is an experienced employee…”
When Park Byeong-il asked, Jang Yu-mi shook her head.
“No. I joined the company as a new employee and was promoted to assistant manager in less than a year.”
“Wow…is that possible?”
“Isn’t it rude to say it’s possible when it’s right in front of you?”
“Ah! I’m sorry.”
“Get to know Assistant Manager Kim a lot. He’s a really good person. Now that I think about it, Mr. Hansu, you’re very lucky. Manager Lee Jun-hak and Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo are so outstanding that they always compete for the best employee award, so I’ll really learn a lot from them.”
At those words, Lee Han-soo looked at Kim Cheol-soo with a blank expression.
Being promoted to assistant manager less than a year after joining the company as a new employee?
A case like this had never happened in a city or city group.
I also heard that the Hanyoung Group is strict about promotions.
If this is a promotion in a company like that…
Hansoo Lee blinked once again.
“Ah yes.”
“Even if you get scolded, don’t be discouraged and work hard. I think Byeong-il is in a similar situation to Han-soo.”
At those words, Kim Cheol-su remembered Jang Yu-mi, who cried after being broken by Assistant Manager Park Dong-jin last year, and laughed.
“Why are you smiling, sir?”
“It reminds me of Yumi from last year.”
“Don’t ever say that, okay?”
“well.”
“Anyway, no way!”
“Okay. Now! We’ll go down now.”
I wanted to talk for a while longer, but when Kim Cheol-soo got up, Lee Han-soo had no choice but to get up too.
“Yes, sir.”
Kim Cheol-soo said to Lee Han-su, who glanced back as he left Sky Park.
“After you go in, Manager Lee Jun-hak will say something again in a little while. Can you bear it?”
“…I have to hold on somehow.”
“Are you just going to hold on?”
Lee Han-soo followed behind Kim Cheol-soo and asked quietly.
“How can I do it like you, sir?”
“Do you want to do it like me?”
“yes.”
“Then you can follow me.”
As we continued talking, we entered the office, and Lee Han-soo, who made eye contact with Lee Jun-hak, flinched without realizing it.
As Lee Jun-hak twitched his fingers with an angry expression, Kim Cheol-soo pushed Lee Han-su and said,
“Show yourself getting better every day. That’s the only way to get through it.”
