I am Noble

“How could you do this? ”

A sharp voice spread. Men in their forties have barely raised their heads in front of women who are only in their late twenties. Age is just a number in front of social status. The opponent is a young woman, but the head of the group who controls their necks is a loving granddaughter and one of the group's nominees.

“How could this have happened because of the management training? ”

“I'm sorry, it's all our fault. ”

He did not know the two sides of his body during the night in a sharp palace.

According to a group audit room itself, the cause of the explosion at the Taean Crystal Processing Center is an internal management issue. It was a thorough review of the difficult collected black box and the machine specs introduced into the processing plant. That is, during the crystalline dilution process, collapse occurred because it could not withstand the expansion force exceeding the threshold.

Report of Threshold Breakthrough and Possibility of Explosion in the Dilution Process.

In addition, there was already an engineer who posted a report asking for a risk diagnosis and resolution in advance. The executive team, however, silenced the report saying it would be fine. If the audit team hadn't found the report, identifying the cause would have been slower.

“What happened to the person who posted this report? Is he dead?”

“No, I resigned my resignation as soon as the report was returned. ”

He knew the ship was going to sink, so he got off quickly.

“Find this man. We have to hide this for now. ”

I can't imagine what kind of saturation I'll get if this gets out. Lee Hee-yeon insisted that he should keep his mouth shut at all costs.

“By the way, the audit team found out that the reporter resigned and reported the possibility of a monolithic process to several media outlets. There are no lights at the moment, but we need to fix that as well. ”

“How did it get so far that no one at group management could have known? ”

“It looks like the practitioner has sought their own media cooperation. ”

Increasingly, Lee Hee-yeon pressed her pointy head.

“How much cash is in reserve in the group? ”

“The funds approved for immediate use in this matter are around KRW 100 billion. ”

“Release the full amount of the damages right now, and put it in the press, and make it clear that 100 billion is the primary compensation. It's important that we get the press on our side. And quickly find the person who wrote that report and bring them in. There's no time.”

“I understand!”

* * *

Lee Hee-yeon, the chairman of the Ilsung Group, and Lee Hyung-jun, the eldest son of the prestigious chairman, have been getting a headache lately. It was due to an explosion at the Taean Crystal Workshop just days ago.

“50,000 deaths... $5 trillion in compensation. ”

I couldn't afford the amount of property damage and repair costs added to it.

“Chief Choi, what was the upper limit that the group could handle? ”

“It's in and out of 7 trillion won, Chairman. ”

“No matter what happens, you have to make a deal in there. ”

“It won't be a big problem because Lee Hee-yeon is dealing wisely. The Group Planning Department is also doing everything they can to support us. ”

Il Sung Crystal's president is Lee Hee Yeon. Of course, it's a matter for her to take responsibility, but it's too much work for her to do alone. So, Itaewon was watching from behind in real time, using all of his power in the unseen to help his daughter solve the case.

“Did you say organic iron? You still haven't found him? ”

“Yes. Since a few days ago, the whereabouts have been unclear. We're doing our best to find it. ”

“A few days ago, could it have been after the explosion? ”

“…… maybe that's it. ”

“That's unusual, that's unusual. ”

The monolithic crystals have gained media support by paying out over 100 billion in primary damages. Large journalists who were close to the elite group cheered for the "bold decision" that was taken care of by the displaced residents. One hundred billion won is only the first emergency, and the final compensation will be several times more than that.

But the basis of life and the 100 billion won was too little for those who lost their families. The injured villagers cried out in tears, saying the final payment must be doubled. However, with the cooperation of something in the media, it was not focused on Masscom.

“We need to buy some time. Time will be on our side. ”

No matter how much you think about it, it is impossible to offer a legitimate amount of compensation. You need to sell the group in order to get the right compensation. But you can't sell the group. If so, we should make a deal by dragging people as much as possible, advantageously promoting public opinion, and waiting for this to be forgotten in people's memories.

“Council, Chairman! Take a look at this! ”

Suddenly, my secretary was surprised and came in. Itaewon felt like his heart was pounding.

“What's going on? ”

“This……. ”

What the secretary gave me was a printout of an Internet article. I had never heard of it. Newspaper, by the way? The character interviewed in the article was astonished. He was the maintainer.

I've calculated the size of the damage and the compensation, but it will cost 80 trillion.

How did such calculations come about?

"A billion in death damages, that's 50 trillion won. And if you don't do all the other property damage and recovery, you're going to spend 30 trillion won.

Itaewon is stunned. The article lists conversations with Yu Yu-won. How does a newspaper cover something you've never heard of? No, more than that, why does Yu Yu Woong play candles with these words?

“What's going on here? Didn't you say you've already done the underwater negotiations with Chairman Yeong-woong? ”

“I heard that... …. ”

“Make room now! Come on!"

We've only managed to move the media to create an atmosphere that is favorable for the group, which is why it is so quiet. Chairman Itaewon was in a hurry.

I thought it would be difficult, but I surprisingly quickly got an appointment. Maybe they were expecting that, too?

The location was set as Jeongseong Hotel. Itaewon rushed to the Ilsung Hotel with his secretary. I even cancelled all reservations at the top restaurant for this spot.

Sitting by a window overlooking the Han River and waiting for a long time, he reported that his assistant had arrived. After a while, Yusuf entered the restaurant.

“Welcome. This is Itaewon, who leads a small group. ”

“I'm Kyungwoong.”

There was a young man beside Yeong-woong who appeared as a secretary. Itaewon urged him to sit down.

“Have a seat.”

Yusuf sat down and urged his secretary to sit down as well. My hesitant secretary sat down. Itaewon was a little upset inside. No matter what the boss says, one secretary is not a place to sit.

“I saw your article in the interview. ”

“Oh, did you see that? My subordinates asked me to say just a few words to be honest.... It's embarrassing.”

“Your successors?”

“The newspaper, actually, is run by us and our members of the newspaper club. ”

“... I see. ”

There was no time to investigate the newspaper. It made sense how a little unnamed newspaper was able to interview such a big deal in such a short time.

“I'm a little nervous, actually. You promised to keep an eye on him, and now you're troubling us with an interview like that. The interview made the public opinion overheated, making it a little difficult to get things done. ”

Itaewon began with a polite sound of pain. It is because he is so old, but not comparable in terms of social influence and power.

“Oh, I'm sorry about that. Wouldn't it be better to clean up quickly for the displaced people? The relationship between responsibilities is clear, but it looks like we'd better get this over with without taking any time. ”

“…… What do you mean, the relationship is clear? ”

“Organic iron here told me. They repeatedly reported the risk of underprinting fair facilities, but the management ignored it. Isn't that right?”

Itaewon's complexion turned pale. I realized that the man who only knew that he was a secretary was organic iron. The person resigned and quit because he couldn't report the potential risk several times.

I thought you said it was weird. ’

I can't believe you went to see Keeping Woong so quickly. Itaewon cleared his mind. Easier resolutions have become more difficult. He decides to throw a battle.

“There will be 3 trillion KRW of compensation available for mobilization into the group this year. ”

“Yes? Only three trillion won? Strange. Is that all the revenue the whole group makes? It's gonna be a lot more. ”

“Affiliates are independent from each other. Strictly speaking, no other affiliate may be liable for the liability of the monolithic crystal. But I can't tell you what it's like to have a family inside one fence, so other affiliates have decided to cooperate fully. ”

“That's right. There's no reason for monoelectrons to cover up the mistakes of monocrystals. ”

Yu Ung reasoned and Itaewon relieved.

“The 80 trillion won you mentioned is absolutely impossible. But you can't sell the group for compensation, can you? ”

“Well……. ”

“We will take care of this as much as we can, so I appreciate your patience. ”

She folds her arms and closes her eyes. I noticed something deep in my mind. Soon he opened his eyes.

“Finally, what is the total amount of compensation that the group would like to pay? ”

“That's ……. ”

Itaewon desperately thought. How much can you mobilize? No, how much should I call you?

“…… 7 trillion won is the limit. That's also the total number of affiliates in the group. ”

“Is 80 trillion won hard? I could lend you a no-interest. ”

“…… it's not an amount the group can afford. ”

“But if you've done 80 trillion won, isn't it right to pay 80 trillion won? Isn't that the principle of civil responsibility? ”

“But if you take responsibility like that, there won't be factories or companies that can survive. So who would run a company or a factory? Consider that, Chairman. ”

80 trillion won in cash. Even though it is said to be the largest conglomerate in the country, it is terrible to imagine. It won't be a big deal to Jiyuang.

Su Kyung Woong was silent for a while. It was a short silence, but Itaewon felt uneasy.

“I'm not a victim. So it might be a bit of a crossroads intervention, but I don't think that's it. ”

“Chairman."

“Why don't all of your affiliates pay 80 trillion won, or just let the monopoly go on indefinitely? ”

Weird words made Itaewon curious while he was nervous. The total capital of the monolithic crystal is 10 trillion won. Even if all other fixed assets are combined, it is less than 13 trillion won. That is, if you sell a single crystal, you won't get 13 trillion won. Then why?

“If you're not confident enough to pay the full price, you want me to sacrifice only one single crystal? ”

“That's right.”

In principle, liability shall be borne solely by the monocrystals. The group's decision to take joint responsibility was made with consideration of national sensitivity. However, as Yeong-woong said, if only one person is responsible for the decision, it is an advantage for the group. Cut off the so-called tail to prevent the wound from spreading.

That's why it was strange. The person who suggested 80 trillion won, since I'd lend it to you as a no-interest, is not the one to say.

“Let's just stick to the principles. This case is the responsibility of the monopoly. There may be some responsibilities for group management, but you can pay for them separately. It's what mono-crystals do, so they sell the mono-crystals as a whole, and they're responsible. ”

Yeong-woong said without changing his face.

“Instead.”

“ ……. ”

“The group must step away from the domestic crystal purification industry completely. ”

“Council, Chairman! ”

Itaewon's face became blurry. The Crystal Refining Industry market is huge! You want me to give up my food?

The crystal refining industry is a promising manufacturing industry worldwide. The market size is expanding with each passing day. That's why the group set out ambitiously and took a step. But what do you mean, you'll never set foot again?

South Korea's exports are enormous. In other words, the domestic crystal refining business makes that much profit. In particular, the group had an ambition to establish friendship with Yeongwoong and reach the Blue Crystal Refining Industry.

Extremely, it would be better to close your eyes and ask 80 trillion won rather than get kicked out of the crystal refining industry. if you're looking forward to the future benefits of the crystal refining industry.

“A monopoly has lost 80 trillion won in its business, and it has neither the ability nor the will to compensate. I think it would be worse for a company like that to continue to do business than it would be for profit. ”

Eugwoong is emperor, especially in the field of crystals. The domestic crystal industry can be reformulated overnight according to his words. He's like, "Get out! ’Then that's it. No distributor will try to do business.

“Chairman, I'll reimburse you. I'll pay 80 trillion won in full. So please just leave the crystals industry... ”

“No. ”

“Council, Chairman! ”

“I'm really sorry, but as I was talking to the chairman, I realized what the management ideology of the group was like. I think it would be better for this country to be completely out of the crystal refining industry. ”

“It's a huge loss to think about this country if a large company like yours is permanently expelled from the crystal refining industry! Please reconsider! ”

“No, it's better for a company with an ethical conscience that has no willingness to be held accountable, to be expelled early for this country. ”

Itaewon gripped his teeth. I felt like I was going to lose my mind. I didn't understand why they were persecuting themselves like this.

“What is wrong with you? I'm sure I'll be generously watching us clean up.... ”

“I thought you were following the principle. But that's not what it looks like. ”

“…… Chairman. Absolutely outrageous.”

“My actions are recorded in some way. I don't want to run away because I'm ashamed when my child finds out later. And that's the big reason. ”

Itaewon persuaded him with all his strength. However, Yusuf did not reverse his decision. Itaewon begged for up to 200 trillion won in compensation, but he was a floating point.

“You must liquidate the crystals and reimburse them in full. and take your foot off the crystal refining industry completely. I won't interfere until you're in a foreign country. ”

“ ……. ”

“I have a personal friendship with Lee Hee-yeon, and I've always liked the group. But I'm very disappointed in the group today. I feel like I've lost an old friend. I'll get up first. ”

Itaewon didn't know to open his eyes after a long time after Yusuf left.
