Shall Go Together

President Shim holding a large rose bouquet with one hand, cake box with the other hand no words.

Managing Director Jo loaded President Shim’s travel carrier in the car trunk.

Bang!

“Hahaha, President Shim will be good. Just departing to the airport like this enough?”

Managing Director Jo smiled refreshingly.

Office family also smiled contentedly following.

But President Shim only making a strange expression, still silent.

Did this old man eat something wrong, why like this.

“Why? Because I saying will take the back not very trustworthy?”

“No! No way!”

“Why reaction like this? By any chance all-nighter yesterday too? Ate less tonic?”

“Not that. I just······.”

President Shim moved lips for a long time and couldn’t finish words.

“Just thought can’t act don’t know such important matter without fulfilling responsibility.”

“Conscience pricking a lot seeming skipping and secretly fleeing?”

“······Yes.”

Ha···, President Shim!

Compared to the reputation of management genius also not good at rolling subordinates harshly, also not good at fleeing tactfully.

So trustworthy, but ten to one overwork death doing so?

“Didn’t see Secretary Kim fleeing?”

“······Yes?”

“Flees very tactfully.”

“······Secretary Kim?”

“Just a few days ago also fleeing immediately without even looking back?”

“Th, no way?”

“That person very habitual offender. Whenever our dad suspects the identity of Taeseong’s brain already fled and gone?”

“······.”

This entrance ceremony day, also so when eating jjajangmyeon with the president at the high-class Chinese restaurant.

‘Heard father greatly suspected all me acting sharply in front of the president because of the note Taeseong brain sent?’

Father said looked for Secretary Kim as soon as the meal ended.

Reason obvious.

Trying to question regarding Taeseong brain and the note.

Looked thinking whether tried to eat the note and destroy evidence like last time this time too.

But as always Secretary Kim already fled and gone.

‘Thanks to that grandfather remained alone and waited for me. With the excuse of conveying the invitation.’

Heard grandfather firmly denied with feigned ignorance.

“Then shall go now?”

“Yes?”

“President Shim to the airport, office family to Hanujeong.”

I winked one eye.

“Excellently performed the top priority instruction, and finished work uniting and cooperating all together, so thinking of treating largely as promised. Why, problem?”

“Yes, problem. Honestly speaking results quite poor.”

“Why that? Because company’s pride comes from sales, company’s self-respect comes from performance?”

“······!”

“Because making the best results no matter means and methods within the deadline somehow our JH’s spirit?”

“······Yes.”

“So unsatisfactory results came out so no qualification to receive reward?”

“Yes. Sorry.”

President Shim and office family nodded lowering heads deeply.

A solemn and resolute atmosphere.

“Why no qualification to receive reward? Already overflowing.”

“······Yes?”

“Rolling company sometimes okay performance and results not coming out compared to input effort and capital. Planning to use without giving salary every time then?”

“······Uh?”

I closed eyes tightly and shouted.

“Company work eventually people do!”

Words said during management tutoring time.

“Of course company’s performance and results also important. But to me you more precious.”

Talents who will roll throughout going forward, have to treat preciously.

Think easy finding employees who work this well again?

How much effort I put raising, absolutely no!

But office people looked back at me with moved expressions.

“Young Masteeeer······!”

Somehow eyes seeming hearts will come out.

I grinned.

“Meal distribution not grade order. Let’s eat and do!”

“Will cherish us this much······!”

“Since eating anyway let’s eat beef!”

“Waaa! Beef, beef, beef!”

“The one who promised early leave precisely me. Let’s go!”

“Waaa! Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!”

Office family greatly excited and cheered.

Without distinction shaking the special bonus white envelopes received earlier and shouting “Young Master best!”, “JH hurray!”

“President Shim, get in.”

I pushed President Shim’s back.

“Uh, uhh?”

“If neglecting wife saying understands if giving salary bankbook will hit the ground and regret when old?”

Whoosh.

I opened the car door.

“Other things maybe not, at least wedding anniversary let’s take care and live.”

“But company work······!”

“No matter how tight company work, I’m not such a stingy person?”

I took out a white envelope from the coin wallet.

Specially prepared as President Shim’s share.

10 cashier’s checks of 100,000 won!

“Heard going Jeju Island trip? Stay at good hotel with madam and buy and eat delicious a lot.”

“Ha, put as much as 1 million won?”

“Have to take that level. Trip originally cash shortage and overcharging board.”

“No matter how even so, why money so much······!”

I patted the coin wallet.

“I money a bit many. Earn hard to use at such times.”

Even looking like this chaebol 3rd generation?

“Then see next week. Play well and come.”

“Wait, Young Master! I still have work to do······!”

“I Yu Jong-tae will assist. Eutcha!”

Before knowing the quick-witted security guard, Yu Jong-tae who claims to be my secretary and hands and feet stuffed President Shim into the back seat.

I shouted startled.

“Flower careful! Cake careful!”

President Shim also shouted startled.

“Then U-gwang Research Institute? Tank technology? Sight?”

There words really dirty many!

Bang!

I closed the car door hard.

“President Shim, when coming black sea bream and silver cutlassfish! Here, depart!”

“Yo, Young Master?”

Vroom.

The car loaded with President Shim departed.

Office family happily saw off shaking special bonus envelopes.

“President, when coming buy dol hareubang keyring!”

“We will finish all Hanujeong beef!”

I said cutting.

“Will stay overnight in the parking lot? Not early leaving? Dislike beef?”

“Th, no way! Absolutely not!”

“What doing? Then have to get in the car quickly. Shall cancel company dinner?”

“Going, going!”

Office family ran hurriedly.

An era cars not many.

Had to gather in threes and fives and ride bus, ride taxi and go to the company dinner place.

“Where going? Come this way. Prepared knowing would be so.”

“Waaa! Chartered bus!”

The bus door driven by Taeseong Group security guard opened.

On the bus side <​JH Investment Company> letters largely stuck.

“No.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“Not chartered bus but dedicated bus.”

“Th, even dedicated bus?”

“Bought so convenient going together to company dinners or unity events going forward.”

“Indeed our Young Master!”

Office family boarding the dedicated bus without distinction shouted “Young Master, best!” and raised thumbs.

U-gwang Research Institute researchers blankly looked at that appearance.

“No, bought dedicated bus to go together to company dinners and unity events······.”

“What special bonus coming out 3 million won? My annual salary not even 3 million won······.”

“Hanujeong, heard expensive······.”

“Beef, will be tasty······.”

I looked back at the researchers wearing white lab coats.

“What doing? Not boarding the bus.”

“Yes? We U-gwang Research Institute affiliated researchers?”

“When affiliation changed. Have to change name tags.”

I pointed at the name tags stuck on the lab coats.

Researchers stammered and asked as if not believing.

“Us, even us taking care?”

“Then think JH Research Institute researchers not JH family?”

I grinned.

“Have to eat beef. Precious people who will suffer throughout developing tank technology going forward.”

Have to feed beef solidly in preparation for then.

Originally life have to oil first to go down smoothly.

But researchers looked at me with moved expressions.

“Young Masteeeer······!”

Somehow eyes seeming hearts will come out.

“Reserved at Hanujeong in advance so don’t feel burden and eat to the full.”

“Really okay we also go? Not even properly made performance yet, eating beef at Hanujeong with those people······?”

“If dislike stuck in the lab and eat cup ramen or something.”

“Euk, that absolutely dislike!”

Researchers trembled as group.

“If cup ramen really disgusting!”

“That cup ramen! Ate too full as late night snack······.”

“Then get in.”

I pointed at the empty dedicated bus.

“Regrettable but this time no special bonus payment. We pay performance bonus according to performance.”

No performance, what performance bonus.

Director Choi waved hands.

“No! Even Hanujeong beef excessive. Not in a position to hope even performance bonus.”

“Oh, I like researchers with ambition. This quite regrettable.”

I slightly furrowed the brow.

“If properly extracting tank technology this time seems special bonus not envying others will come out. Still no greed?”

“Yes? If developing tank technology special bonus comes out? Salary there?”

“Salary salary, special bonus special bonus.”

The two clearly different.

“To extract proper technology in 2 months will suffer quite.”

“In 2 months······?”

“Can’t show half-baked technology hanging JH signboard in front of the president.”

Tak.

I flicked fingers.

The quick-witted security guard, Yu Jong-tae who claims to be my hands and feet and secretary quickly prepared documents.

Materials summarizing U-gwang Research Institute core research projects JH family made.

Amazingly well made so important matters enter at a glance.

‘How tank technology all only shit color numerous. Erai, this ruined.’

Actually what expected, and a matter considered, but honestly disappointing.

‘If domestic tank technology in this era really poor time.’

No matter how ambitiously the president shouts self-reliance what doesn’t work doesn’t work.

Non-existing tank technology not appearing in a snap.

‘At most developed M48A3 and M48A5. Still not even 88 tank out time.’

Flipping and scanning the final report and organized chart.

‘Eh?’

Dazzling golden light!

But what marked next only one star.

What this means ‘only idea good’.

‘Wow, just in case and indeed! The reason hit big later thanks to U-gwang Research Institute here!’

Windfall!

I excitedly flipped documents at even faster speed.

‘This too! This too! This too all golden light! Gold mine, gold mine!’

Of course not progressed to proper product research yet.

But how many technologies holding that will hit largely if only catching direction well.

‘Ten, twenty, thirty, forty···, even roughly scanning over a hundred!’

I looked back at Director Choi.

“Director Choi, shall talk a bit with me?”

* * *

“Yes? Saying do copying?”

Copying, so-called following and copying.

Director Choi stood up with a whoosh.

I sat on the children’s sofa in the president’s office and drank ssanghwa tea slurp.

“Receive salary, research institute running, if breath attached have to develop technology.”

Technologies with expected future results numerous!

“No matter means and methods. That our JH spirit, and spirit.”

“Ah, JH spirit! Indeed so.”

What? Nodding as if immediately understood?

Well, good not needing to persuade long and detailed!

But first the urgent tank technology now!

“Copying nothing new. Since when the Republic of Korea held high-level tank technology.”

“That so.”

“Chewing, tearing, tasting, analyzing existing products and imitating and copying the basics of technology acquisition?”

As I gestured, the quick-witted security guard Yu Jong-tae who claims to be my hands and feet and secretary quickly took out a thick document file from the briefcase.

Director Choi slowly blinked eyes with a dazed expression.

“What’s this again?”

“Smuggling pamphlet.”

“Whaaat?”

“Have to have samples to chew, tear, taste, analyze something.”

“Ha······.”

“Then thought wouldn’t even put out one pamphlet smuggling tanks that break tens of millions of won per unit easily?”

“Eohuk!”

A matter to be so startled?

“Then formal import not possible, have to bring in even smuggling.”

Have to develop tanks.

Have to research.

“U-gwang Research Institute not a formally permitted defense industry research institute.”

“Yes.”

“So limits inevitably come developing tank technology secretly.”

“Yes.”

“Research pushed in a situation lacking samples inevitably stagnant.”

So conclusion.

“Thinking of solving that problem. So choose comfortably.”

I spread the smuggling king’s pamphlet on the table.

Lincoln Machine and Little Willie that were active in World War I, MK series the world’s first tanks made in Britain.

Renault FT developed in France and first used rotating turret, Somua S35 evaluated as the strongest tank in the 1930s.

Soviet T series, Nazi Germany’s Tiger E type 6 tank of course recent developed main battle tanks loaded sleekly.

“Or shall buy all one by one by model?”

“Eohuhuk! Money rotting?”

Director Choi was shocked.

“Indeed better directly seeing and choosing?”

I covered the pamphlet tak.

“Shall go together.”

Heard you the overall person in charge of the tank research secretly progressing at U-gwang Research Institute?

Originally even buying used cars go with experts.

Going to buy tanks tens of millions of won per unit, what to say?
