Episode 183: The Same Dream (1)
“Director, no, CEO Kim Jun-young. Do you have any intention of doing this project with K-Edu?”
From the mouth of Kim Hyung-ro, who was looking at me with gloomy eyes, completely unexpected words flowed out.
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s literally. How about a partnership between K Edu and Hermit Crab Academy in this second open competitive bidding?”
I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
‘Is this guy crazy?’
Kim Hyung-ro is not afraid of public power, rather he just smiles lightly as if there is no problem with that kind of thing.
‘her… .’
His words and actions without a single hesitation left me speechless for a moment.
It was because the attitude that social order was not important, and his close-minded appearance, did not seem to have been created in a day or two.
‘Perhaps it was created while going through a lot of things.’
I opened my mouth slowly, suppressing the displeasure that welled up within me.
“What is good? Because you can see it that way. However… Would I benefit from accepting that offer? From my point of view, it’s enough to just bid at a lower price than yours.”
It was probably because I didn’t like his attitude.
A silverfish that eats some society.
The loneliness of not even thinking that one’s actions were wrong because of the accumulation of poison for a long time.
It was my honest heart that I didn’t want to cooperate with them.
OK.
“well. Well, the choice is always up to you, but… Do you even know the representative? That things don’t always work out the way you want them to.”
Kim Hyung-ro started to press me with a soft voice.
It seemed to leave the choice to me in words, but I saw the nuance that was oozing… … .
‘Crawl on your own. Don’t be mean to me.’
It seemed like he was trying to say that it would be better to obey his will.
“… What do you mean?”
“What do you mean? just… I’m saying this because I thought it might be better to eat together and build friendships with a lot of acquaintances rather than being greedy and unable to hold a slice of bread in my hand.”
Seeing him answering with the corners of his mouth raised, it was as if his courteous appearance he had shown before was my misunderstanding.
It was clear that he had already agreed with the other academies except for hermit crab academy.
‘I’m just seeing if I have the confidence that I can turn it off even if I tell the government.’
If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t be able to show such a confident attitude while revealing your weaknesses.
“After listening to the words, it seems that the story with everyone else is over?”
When I asked, Kim Hyung-ro smiled and opened his mouth.
“Yes, that’s right. Fortunately, the story ended quickly because I had worked with other people several times before.”
Hmm… For looking like an ordinary manager in his forties, he seemed surprisingly talented.
That’s right, so I must have come here with such confidence.
“Well, then, why don’t you feel burdened and participate in our plan as well? To be honest, if we have to fight fiercely with each other in this competition, we will only do good things for the government, but that’s not what you want, right?”
Now, it was almost like handling fish.
However.
“Because things don’t always work out the way you want them to.”
I returned the lines of Kim Hyung-ro that I had just heard.
I have no intention of agreeing with him.
On the other hand, Kim Hyung-ro’s expression was hardened, as he had returned what he had said.
“… Sure it could be, but… If that happens, I’d be really sorry. If something like that happens, I will have to go back to work with a lot of regret. and… I will have to tell the seniors of our academy of that sad news as well.”
However, it was Kim Hyung-ro who did not threaten him openly until the very end.
“Hmm… .”
I slowly organized my thoughts.
No. 1 conciliation in the industry.
double agreement.
Collaboration with other companies.
weak evidence.
A promise to pie.
If I had been a typical business operator, I would have nodded my head without asking or questioning.
It was because it was a safe way to promote the company’s profits, except for bid fixing through an agreement behind the scenes.
But I had no intention of accepting the appetizing offer.
Because for me, this business is not just a business to make money, but a foundation for the future education business.
And he was confident enough to win an overwhelming victory in this second competition without compromising with K-edu’s dirty tricks.
‘… There is also the issue of trust. It’s also a law not to do business with suspicious people.’
So when I was thinking about it for a while.
“Now, what would you like to do? In the second open competition, CEO, would you like to join forces with K-Edu’s capital and influence and the capabilities of Hermit Crab Academy? Is it the other way around?”Kim Hyung-ro has been asking me to make a decision as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.
Hmmm, even though it was a pre-established fact to reject his proposal, there were several variations in the method.
At least, I thought there should be a distinction between those who approached with malicious intent and those who did not.
The important thing is how to understand the intention… If that’s the case, there’s something I’ve been thinking about.
“I would like to ask you one last thing. If I sign a partnership with K Edu… Can you give me the ?”
“of course. I can give you that much.”
“great. then… Can you tell me how much money I need to spend to win the contract?”
“that… .”
Kim Hyung-ro looked at me with hesitation.
It seemed that I could not give an easy answer because I had not made a decision between the two.
‘Because they think I might be able to eat and drink.’
But what I wanted to know was not the exact amount of the bid. It was because it was enough to know the approximate amount if it was just to understand the intention.
I smiled and opened my mouth slowly.
“It doesn’t have to be exact. Please tell me the approximate amount.”
Then, Kim Hyung-ro’s expression shook slightly.
‘I’ll be back soon.’
I drank cold tea and waited for his answer.
“… … .”
While preparing for this bidding competition, I checked the data in the USB several times a day.
And as a result. I was able to check at a glance what kind of business the companies participating in the 2nd open competition bet on, and how much they would offer as a bid.
[One. K-edu 35 billion won][2. M Study 37 billion won][3. J Academy 38 billion won].
.
So, if you use it well, it was clear that you would be able to grasp the intentions of Park Hyung-ro and K-Edu.
‘If you really want to yield to me… I’ll probably call it for less than 35 billion won.’
But if not… It was clear that more than 35 billion won was coming out of his mouth.
What if… The idea was to show just how frightening the method passed down through the ages of East and West can be an eye for an eye for a tooth.
Because I wasn’t the type of person who would forgive even those who thought of fucking me.
after a while.
Kim Hyung-ro’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.
“… That’s 360 billion won.”
It was decided the moment I heard that.
My disposition towards K-edu.
