Story of a Big Player from Gangnam

(445)

As I got off at Haneda Airport, Dr. Sakada Ikuzo was waiting for me to meet him.

“Hello, sir! ”

“Hey, Mr. Park Jong-seok! ”

Sakada Ikuzo and Park Jong-seok welcomed each other.

“Sazo-san, it's been a long time. It's been a long time, Yoshitaka. ”

When Gu Gunho saw Mr. Ikuzo, he still looked healthy and twisted. I came out wearing a Beremo-like hat on a pair of cuffed trousers. I was not an engineer, I was like an artist painting.

“Good to see you looking so healthy. ”

Dr. Ikuzo smiled brightly and said in Gugunho's words.

“Congratulations on making Dijon Korea Public Company. ”

“Thank you, everyone around you. ”

He said this and laughed. It was funny for Dr. Guggenho to pronounce him Fabric.

Gu took out his credit card and gave it to Yoshitaka.

“Rent a car. ”

“Hait, got it. ”

“There's a car rental at the airport, right? ”

“I have a Toyota rental car. ”

Soon after, Dr. Matsui Yoshitaka borrowed an ISIS mini ben. I even brought a driver. Gu Gu felt that the car was really small.

[It's like a Japanese car.]

The door of the rental car was a sliding doa. The four of us rode together, and the trunk was small, so we put it in an empty chair.

“Please go to Takada City. ”

Mr. Ikuzo in the front seat showed me the way.

Gu Gun Lake looked out the window and asked Yoshitaka.

“By the way, what does the name ISIS mean? ”

“Well, I don't know. I'll ask the knight. ”

Yoshikaka-sensei asked the driver in his 50s who was driving.

“Doriber, what does Isis mean? ”

“Isis? The name of the god of abundance in the Egyptian myth. ”

The car ran for a long time.

“Take a left on Rotary up ahead. That's the second factory up ahead. ”

There were two old men in work clothes at the front door of the factory, making sure they had been contacted. The two elderly people looked very neat, even though they were wearing work clothes. He looked like a professor at the Institute of Technology.

“Welcome, Ikuzo. ”

“How are you? Miura Soichi. ”

A mutual friend of mine, Dr. Ikuzo and Miura Soich, graciously shook hands. Dr. Ikuzo introduced the Gu Gun Ho.

“This is Gu Gun-ho, CEO and CEO of GE Mobile, Korea. This is Miura Precision. ”

The hook bowed significantly and greeted him.

“Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you. ”

“Thank you for coming all the way here. ”

The boss of the late 60s bent his waist greatly to the Gu Gun Ho of the late 30s to accommodate him. We almost hit our heads. The Japanese also respectfully said hello.

“This is Teacher Park Jong-seok, who used to be a factory in Giach Mobil. He's now the CEO of precision at GE. ”

“Oh, really? Nice to meet you."

“This is Dr. Matsui Yoshitaka from G.H. Media, Korea. ”

“Nice to meet you, Japanese. ”

The precision boss, Miura, introduced an old man next to him.

“I am Yanaki Masatoshi, a factory worker at Miura Precision. ”

They greeted each other at a 90-degree angle.

Miura leads the group inside the factory.

The factory was not big. It was not big if it was smaller than the factory where Park Jong-seok is now. I think the machine is running, but I hear nothing. I see people working in front of the machine.

“You're making bearings and ball screws. ”

“That's right.”

“I thought I was making a camshaft or something. ”

“Oh, it's made over there. ”

Park Jong-seok intuitively knew that the working machines were magnetic rollers with little vibration and noise.

“You're a self-roller.”

“Yes, it is a self-bearing roller. ”

“Which company did this machine come from? ”

“I made it myself. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Park Jong-seok turned around and nodded.

Gu Gun-ho said to Park Jong-seok in a small voice.

“Are you okay?"

“Good? I can't hear the machine going back to high speed. ”

“They're going that way. Looks like there's another workshop. ”

The new workshop had computer based machining (CNC) shelves and boring machines. There were milling assistants that appeared to have made their own. The camshaft was made here. Workers looked older.

Gu Gun-ho asked Park Jong-seok.

“What do you think? Is it worth buying? ”

“Well, I thought I was making something with my hands, but they're all automated machines. It's what young people do, but old people do it. ”

“Why don't we take these machines off and put them in george precision? ”

“I can't do this alone. We need to hire CNC shelf engineers, and the Japanese here are going to come to our factory and give us months of technical guidance. ”

“So, what do you think? ”

“I'm greedy...”

“Let's do it when we're greedy. ”

“You'll learn to make things over time. But it's about sales. You have to be like Dijon Korea's Kim Jong-moo. ”

“Really?"

“Kim Jong-moo is not an engineering student, but since he's been in business for decades, he knows technology theoretically. And since you're a natural liar, your opponents won't go for it. ”

“Sales...”

Yoshitaka came to Gugunho and said,

“Miura asked me to go to her room and have a cup of tea. “

“Is that so?”

The group heads to Miura's suite.

The owner's office had an old-fashioned oak desk and a conference room table for several to sit at. As the group sits in the chair, the traditional Japanese carriage comes out.

Miura said.

“As you can see, the factory is small and small. I don't know if you're disappointed that you came. ”

“No, the factory looks clean and technological. I was surprised that there was no unusual noise. ”

“Just 10 years ago, there were a lot of people here because of the noise. It took me 10 years to make noise. I'm so old now that I've made noise. Haha.”

Miura smiled in vain.

Gu Gu asked me a question.

“Excuse me, how are you doing? ”

“Twelve employees generate approximately U.S. $7 million in sales. ”

“Where does the product mainly go? ”

“Get in the Toyota. ”

“Is it direct?”

“It is not a direct lead, but it goes through a Isehara machine. ”

“Where is Isehara's machine? ”

“It's nearby. ”

“If 12 employees raise $7 million in sales, why would they want to dispose of the plant if it seems profitable? ”

“I'm sick. The kidney is currently on poor dialysis. Now that I've done enough factories, I want to get rid of them and rest. ”

The teacher next to me, Ikuzo, said.

“You've probably been in this factory since you were 19, right? ”

“I did. I've been working here my whole life since I was 19, and it's been 50 years. ”

“Only here 50 years? ”

“That's right.”

Gu Gun-ho and Park Jong-seok suddenly became old. And Miura admired that he had only worked in one job for 50 years.

“When I was in the third grade of the announcement, I came here as a trainee and I worked here, and when I was 48 years old, I acquired this factory from my former president. It's been over 20 years since I became president. ”

Miura Soichi seemed to be bitten by the eyes of the boss.

“Your son said he wasn't going to take over? ”

“Yes, because both my son and daughter are doing art, they're not interested in factories. ”

“Are there any employees who are willing to take over? ”

“As you can see, they're all in their 60s. The youngest is in their late 50s. I'd rather be on the payroll or not be in trouble. Even if you think about it, you're avoiding it because of the acquisition. ”

“Isn't there a way to acquire a loan? ”

“Even if you get a loan, how much money do you need? And this is the area that needs to be redeveloped and moved to a factory. So I've been looking for people to take over since last year, but I don't think they intend to take over loans and do business. ”

“If you hand it over to Korea, can you keep the delivery to Isehara machine? ”

“The President Isehara is also a friend of mine. Luckily, there's a scale there, and he's taking over again, so he's executive. He's a very lucky man. I asked you a few days ago. If I hand this plant over to Korea or Taiwan, will you accept the delivery? And if the quality and price were what it is today, I would accept it. ”

“If so, how much? ”

“Haha, I don't know. ”

Gu Gunho drank a cup of tea and said again.

“It is not the acquisition of land and buildings in this factory, but the acquisition of mechanical equipment and some inventory. And I don't think it's going to cost that much, even if it involves technical leadership. ”

“So how much do you think Old Master would expect? ”

“Haha, Miura, who knows the waterfront better than I do. ”

While Miura was scratching her head, Park Jong-seok, who was next to her, quickly wrote letters on her smartphone. In the letter Park Jong-seok wrote, there were 300 million letters.

“Well, I want 500,000 dollars. ”

Gu Gu shakes his head.

“Do you have a list of machines for sale? ”

The factory next door replied instead.

“I do.”

The factory manager brought the documents and gave them to Gu 'eho. Gu Gun-ho and Park Jong-seok looked at the documents together. The Governor covered up the paperwork.

“Machines age too old. I don't think it's going to cost more than 300,000 dollars just to give you a premium on technology development and technical guidance. ”

“300,000 dollars is so different than I thought. ”

“As you know, Japan and Korea are not even a free trade agreement. The import tariffs are very high. I should also go back and check with the Korean Customs Bureau for the HS code. ”

“We will also look at selling terms with Taiwanese companies. Taiwanese companies decided to come here tomorrow. ”

“Negotiation with Taiwan is free. Whoever they are, if they're related to each other, they can be transferred. I just hope it reaches you. ”

Guggenho's group is escorted by Miura, who heads out to the city of Yokohama.

“Let's go to Motomachi where Mr. Ikuzo lives and eat. ”

“Come on, let's go to Gannai's Noge House, Odin's. It's been a restaurant for over 100 years. ”

“100 years?”

Gu Gun-ho and Park Jong-seok were surprised to see each other.

“How's the restaurant going? ”

“It works. It's been over 100 years since it worked. ”

“It's not possible in Korea. ”

“Why? Don't restaurants last as long as they taste good? ”

“In Korea, the landlord raises the rent as soon as the restaurant is good. South Korea has a builder on top of the maker. That's why you can't have old shops. ”

“Oh, my God. Don't we have a win-win operation? ”

“So the slum gap between the landlord and the tenant grows. After a night's sleep, the real estate prices go up. ”

“No, the population is shrinking. Does the price of the building go up? Japan is falling. ”
