The Dream of Early Education (2)

Taeseong Group head Chairman Cha sat on the chair coming to work early in the morning.

Chairman Cha turned the approval documents and snorted a laugh.

“After the Taeseong Group all affiliate executive meeting, the quality of the documents coming up changed.”

“Yes. Seems reviewing affiliate acquisition more specifically and multi-sidedly.”

“Because the goal and progress direction were caught.”

Lately Chairman Cha’s expression was very bright.

As matters of seeing interesting reports increased, desire increased a lot.

“Rather than vaguely considering all variables, assuming certain variables with high occurrence possibility, the work can’t help but become easier.”

“So.”

“If progressing only like this, the burden due to the Blue House’s new year luncheon preparation will also lessen a lot.”

Chairman Cha laughed.

“His Excellency also showed interest in the possibility of an oil shock occurring. The affiliate executives investigate materials themselves skillfully.”

“Taeseong’s executives are all competent talents.”

“Forgot that the one who slightly pointed what even such competent talents couldn’t consider at all is separate?”

Chairman Cha finished one approval document in an instant.

It was the U-gwang Oil Refining acquisition plan assuming the case an oil shock occurs.

“Have to raise Jeong-hyeok well. Can’t rot a precious talent who shows such skill already from now in vain.”

Just thinking of the youngest grandson, Chairman Cha ended up pulling up his mouth corner without realizing.

A grandson who is contented just looking, and the future is expected just thinking.

“No separate contact to Seong-jun? Since heard the proposal, seems the time to receive the answer gradually.”

“How long since handed the proposal that so.”

“Is there something to worry long? What special about picking tutor teachers.”

Chairman Cha unfolded the approval document that came up from Taeseong Construction.

It was the U-gwang Construction acquisition plan.

“If really can’t, can bring and teach even me.”

“So anxious and impatient?”

“If you are eight years old? Could negotiate with me and take care of your own rice bowl? Could enter the executive meeting and present Taeseong’s future?”

Chairman Cha snorted a laugh instead of reading Taeseong Construction’s approval document.

“Actually received a phone from Young Master Jeong-hyeok just now.”

“What said?”

“Says will follow the chairman’s meaning.”

“Yes, have to!”

“Of course entering U-gwang Foundation private school and will receive all tutoring too.”

“As expected! Indeed Taeseong’s blood! Hahaha!”

Secretary Kim made a peculiar expression.

“Why such an expression? Thought you would like if you.”

“Because worried about Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”

“About ten tutorings other house kids also all receive.”

“Young Master Jeong-hyeok bluffed that have to receive at least 20 subjects.”

“What? 20 subjects? A matter of dying from overwork receiving tutoring?”

Chairman Cha jumped.

“No matter how education is good, have to have time to eat and poop and sleep! Trying to raise the kid well and catching the kid!”

“Young Master Jeong-hyeok stubbornly insisted saying will prove with certain results so as not to disappoint.”

“Hmm, if Jeong-hyeok, not a kid who would put up useless opposition.”

Chairman Cha nodded.

“Yes, if a man, have to have that level of greed! The spirit of challenging is not bad. If doing and not working, can reduce then. Do as proposed.”

“Added three conditions there.”

“Three conditions?”

“First, says want to pick the tutor teachers directly Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”

“Good! Studying is also a matter that people do eventually, the better the combination of student and teacher the better the efficiency.”

Chairman Cha hit his knee with a thud.

“If our Jeong-hyeok, would pick people well himself. Do so. The second condition?”

“Says want to change a few tutoring class subjects. Instead of liberal arts subjects, want to pay a bit more attention to study and management side.”

“Hahaha! Whose son that an eight-year-old is firm!”

“Says wanted to receive tutoring additionally regarding economy, politics, society, media etc.”

“Seems want to look deeper into how society goes around. Do so.”

“The last condition. Says want to announce the tutoring announcement on university bulletin boards and newspapers.”

Secretary Kim slightly held out one paper.

“The newspaper announcement text that Young Master Jeong-hyeok said.”

“A cheeky guy. Making a 6-year exclusive contract and promising Taeseong Group entry as the price, paying Taeseong Group affiliate section chief level monthly salary as starting salary? Adding performance bonus according to performance too?”

Chairman Cha snorted a laugh.

“Just a Korea University student but the conditions are too generous. Did you apply gold somewhere?”

“The tutoring craze is so hot. The words that finding a good teacher is picking stars in the sky are heard.”

Prestigious university students were a structure of covering tuition and boarding fees of course even living expenses through tutoring.

“Instead added that have to submit a resume.”

“If someone sees, would know as Taeseong Group entry interview. The phrase that detailed contract conditions will be decided through individual consultation is exactly the same.”

“Is Young Master Jeong-hyeok a person who would put out such an announcement without knowing even such things?”

Secretary Kim smiled gently.

“Seems the Young Master has all plans himself. Said Young Master Jeong-hyeok will take responsibility for the insufficient amount.”

“Enough! Why making my child study with my child’s money? Is that guy an unfortunate student with no house or temple?”

Chairman Cha let out a small sigh.

“Think I’m doing this because scared of tutoring fees now? Worrying if my child’s body gets hurt!”

Chairman Cha closed his eyes for a while.

“Yes, can’t spare investment in raising talents. Do according to Jeong-hyeok’s meaning!”

Finally Chairman Cha’s permission fell.

* * *

Entrance tutoring wanted announcements stuck on the bulletin boards of Korea University, Goryeo University, Yeondu University came up.

At the enormous tutoring fees and unconventional generous conditions, hot interest poured enough that the entire nearby universities stirred.

There newspaper announcement texts regarding high-amount tutoring were carried all at once in 13 newspaper companies.

Students of all kinds of universities located in the Seoul city area also sent resumes without you or me.

Thud!

Yu Jong-tae and Taeseong Group security guards brought as many as three bundles of mail.

I prepared as many as three large boxes and classified the resumes.

‘Gold color, silver color, shit color!’

Particularly carefully looked into the gold color resumes.

‘Oh! This person is a person who was Taeseong Food president?’

There is more.

‘Taeseong Life president also applied? Taeseong Energy president and Taeseong Distribution president too?’

Because I attached the condition ‘linked even to Taeseong Group entry’ on the bulletin board and newspaper?

Later talents who can be said Taeseong’s pillars applied several.

Not only that.

‘Samhwang Oil Refining president, Geumjo Construction president, Hyunmu Chemicals vice president, Cheongwol Media president, Ilseong Pharmaceutical president also submitted resumes?’

I whistled.

‘A jackpot! This is precisely talent preemption, investment for the future, and the underdrawing for a great plan!’

Every time later political big shots popped out from the golden light resumes, laughter kept leaking without realizing.

“Uhuhoot!”

“Young Master, don’t you know just now looked really base and sinister?”

“Team Leader Yu, seems free now. Then want to pick a few among these?”

I pointed at the resume box with shit light.

Yu Jong-tae trembled.

“Just looking seems only shit heads there? I’ll go pick anchovy shit instead of the Young Master now!”

Yu Jong-tae who is a quick-witted security guard and claims to be my hands and feet sensed the crisis and fled quickly.

Said going to pick anchovy shit instead of me so saw!

‘Good!’

Became able to sort just 20 people among the golden light resumes.

All this because grandfather issued a strict order of ‘just 20 people!’

‘To the extent of tears coming out regrettable to leave this carefully.’

I decided to reply writing a simple note along with one business card each to people who will grow into thick political big shots later.

Highly value your ability. If considering entry, hope to contact this side.

The enclosed business card was of course President Shim’s business card.

‘If President Shim has eyes, will somehow catch and roll and use.’

Anyway the work President Shim is doing now is the nominal president work of my investment company.

That is, helping President Shim’s work is precisely helping my work.

Like that 3 days later. The long-awaited tutoring started.

The man who becomes Taeseong Distribution president later came and sat as my math tutor teacher.

“Hello? I’m Jo Pil-du who will take charge of the math subject from today. Nice to meet.”

“Hello, Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“Then shall we do a skill test simply before class?”

“No.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“The order is wrong. After exchanging names, have to do contract writing first.”

“Why doing contract writing with you? Have to do that with mother.”

“The person receiving tutoring is me. The party.”

“······Is chaebol house tutoring usually like this? First interview with parents······.”

“Already after receiving full authority delegation.”

I waved the official document received from grandfather fluttering.

“Sit.”

“Eh, yes. Then thinking of progressing free tutoring for about one hour combining the tutor teacher’s skill test······.”

“Since came this far, is there something to waste time. Read the terms and special provisions well and sign and seal.”

I pushed the contract with a whoosh.

“While the teacher reads the contract, Jeong-hyeok will solve the math problems to learn today first?”

“Yes.”

“Wait, Jeong-hyeok. There is a bit strange phrase here.”

Teacher Jo tilted his head.

“The clause of 3 days a week 1 hour class a day, the given assignments must be done by the next class time.”

“What’s strange? Doing assignments well is the basic of tutoring?”

“Th, so?”

“Confirmed the salary and contract conditions and period? Like that?”

“Eh, yes. Very good. I have no complaint with this condition.”

“Then sign.”

Teacher Jo signed and sealed without hesitation.

The meaning of biting the bait with a gulp.

I also quietly put down the pencil.

“All solved.”

“Already? Today’s class amount and homework as many as 150 problems?”

Such two-digit addition problems just solve with mental arithmetic on the spot with a thud.

I who recovered even 1 won coins with compound interest and private loan interest rate and stamped daily interest.

Did the work of processing principal and interest repayment on the spot for several years, what to groan at just this level of four arithmetic operations?

“Then achieved today’s class target, and finished all assignments too?”

“Eh? Yes.”

“Come, then will use the remaining class time at discretion as promised. This is the teacher’s share.”

“······.”

I also handed the prepared document bundle.

Teacher Jo looked at me and the documents alternately with a dazed expression.

“Do you know how to look at the balance sheet?”

“Ba, balance what?”

“How trying to organize the accounting ledger without knowing that? Have to familiarize the basics.”

“······.”

“Don’t forget to write a report and raise after ledger organization finishes too.”

“A report? I don’t know how to write such a thing?”

“Hmm, too many things to teach. Concentrate.”

I put the documents on the desk and stuck next to Teacher Jo and began pointing kindly.

“Memo. Confident in the head enough to memorize all hearing once?”

“Memo! Memoing! Was it debit? Credit? Depreciation?”

“Because the depreciation rate and application method differ according to the object, familiarize regarding the depreciation method, depreciation target amount, useful life. Current assets and non-current assets······.”

“A bit slowly! Now writing down so a bit time to catch breath······.”

“Said attending economics department? What did you learn at school on earth? Said 3rd year?”

“······.”

Knock knock knock.

“Young Master, the next subject teacher enters.”

“Do all the assignments by tomorrow as promised?”

“Why me?”

“Does the contract look like X······.”

“······.”

I smiled brightly handing a armful of documents and ledgers to Teacher Jo’s bosom.

“Then trying to receive section chief level salary with 6-year exclusive and roughly do arithmetic play and go?”

“······.”

What use if trying to eat others’ money and time for free.

If received generous compensation, have to do that much work.

“Th, many things I don’t know······.”

“The meaning of telling me to spare time after tutoring ends and look into?”

“······.”

“Can’t pretend not to know when the enthusiasm to learn is this strong. Ask that to Team Leader Yu.”

I sent out Teacher Jo who was half out of his mind.

Yu Jong-tae who is a quick-witted security guard took the dazed Teacher Jo to the next room.

In that room, there were several tutor teachers with crying faces.

Everyone was wailing doing the given assignments holding their heads.

“How is investment proposal writing done!”

The man who will become Taeseong Life president later tore his hair.

“Short and concise. What is the writing that writes so that the other’s heart moves, so that the heart to take out money from the safe arises!”

Teacher Jo who sensed it was not others’ matter.

He tightly hugged the accounting ledger and document bundle and carefully asked.

“By any chance what subject did you come to tutor?”

“Essay.”

“So was investment proposal writing?”

“You?”

“I’m math. So said write the accounting ledger and raise a report.”

There was a man who abruptly joined that conversation.

The man who becomes Cheongwol Media president later.

“Still couldn’t write all the investment proposal?”

“Why asking that?”

“I’m English. Received the assignment of changing that investment proposal into English and circulating to 23 banks in 7 countries such as Britain, France, Germany, America, Saudi Arabia.”

The sound of sitting down flop was heard from the corner.

“Envious aaa!”

As soon as the judgment of ‘what dog sound is this!’ arose, gazes focused that way all at once.

“I’m economy so have to draw a graph of the stock rise and fall situation of U-gwang’s 41 affiliates based on 3 years of newspaper stock materials by tomorrow!”
