Chapter 109
Chapter 109
Hong Woo-song was unable to graduate from school due to poor family circumstances. Avoiding his stepfather’s violence, he left the house and lived on the street, never begging, polishing shoes, selling gum, etc.
Then he was lucky enough to get into the factory. The boss made him work on the condition that he feeds him and puts him to sleep.
He ate, slept, and worked chores in a factory until he became an adult.
Perhaps he was sorry to pamper him for free, so the boss hired him as an employee and paid him a salary. He had a few pennies, but that alone was worth it.
He spun his machine to the influx of spells. There were many days when he couldn’t sleep and worked to meet his due date.
He worked all night and fell asleep and two fingers were cut off by his pressing machine. He regarded it as his own fault for not paying his attention.
He got a rough treatment and came out of the hospital and continued to run the machine with his bandaged hands. Fortunately, the other finger was fine, and there were no major problems with work.
But one day, the boss went bankrupt and ran away. Far from hiding his severance pay, he hasn’t received a penny of his overdue pay for eight months. But he did not resent the boss.
Would he have run away without even paying his salary when it was really hard? When a company goes bankrupt, employees are also responsible. He had to take it of course.
The workers were scattered, but he kept the factory. Because he had nowhere else to go.
When the subcontractor’s factory stopped, a person came from Eunsung Motors. The president ran away, but the factory and facilities remained the same.
Eunsung Motor will provide him with funding, so he suggested that he take over the factory and deliver it.
He didn’t know much about business or anything, but he was more confident than anyone in handling machinery.
He said that he would do whatever he asked if he could continue to work, and he stamped the documents Eunseong Cha presented.
Because the factory was shut down for a long time, there was a backlog of stock. He worked day and night to meet delivery deadlines.
He didn’t say he wouldn’t let any demands come in. If it was delivered on time, it was delivered, and if the unit price was reduced, it was cut.
It was his common sense that if the president ordered, the employees would do it, and if the primary office ordered it, the subcontractor would do it.
Thanks to such sincerity and consistency, Eunsung Motors continued to push the volume, and the company that was like a hole-in-the-wall grew bigger and bigger.
After that, Eunseong Motors started developing its own engine, and entrusted his factory to produce core parts such as piston rings and cylinders beyond simple parts. He also provided funds for purchasing equipment and hiring employees.
Thus, the postal company has grown into a medium-sized company.
When the era of military regime ended and the civilian government came into power, a labor union was formed at some point, and they talked about collective action or collective bargaining. Then, they made a problem of working all night and demanded a two-shift system, but they went on strike because they refused to do so.
I could not stand still and watch it, so I responded strongly. This was his own company he had created. If you do not like the company policy or working conditions, you can quit. No one forced me to work.
The union eventually withdrew the strike and declared a return to work. But he didn’t accept it.
Those who cause problems once can cause problems again at any time. Therefore, I was planning to completely abolish the union this time.
After all, this country is full of people who want to work.
He tried to fire all the union members. But, ironically, there is the Labor Standards Act, so he could not fire an employee at will without a justifiable reason.
Can’t the boss cut the staff at will? Does this make sense in a capitalist country?
That doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.
If you don’t get fired, you can make them quit on their own.
* * *
The old man with his small stature and white hair looked out his window. A tent was standing in front of the factory, and banners were hung around it.
Chairman Hong Woo-song turned his head and said.
“What happened, Mr. Lee?”
A man in his late 40s was sitting on the sofa.
Lee Se-yeop, president of Changju Consulting, was originally a labor attorney. As a labor law expert, he counseled workers about their difficulties and represented them in applications for relief. He’s been doing it for over 10 years, and he’s realized something important.
The fact that many companies are having difficulties in labor-management relations than expected, and that working for the company is much more profitable than working for the workers.
So he started a company called Changju Consulting. As his vice president, Lim Doo-shik, the leader of the Ohseong faction, whom he had known for a long time, was employed. Se-yeop Lee was in charge of using the head, and Doo-shik Lim was in charge of using the body.
It even made a catchy catchphrase of “a sure partner in HR and labor management” and promoted it to companies.
After Changju Consulting was put in, the silent labor union turned into a gentle sheep, and the companies that signed the contract were satisfied.
“You said you would cut the number of members in half within three months, isn’t it different from your promise? I can’t give you a bonus for this.”
The postal company entrusted Changju Consulting with the work, and said that if the number of labor unions was cut in half, they would give them a bonus of 100 million won.
Of course, since this is clearly illegal, the contract was made behind the scenes.
Chairman Hong Woo-song said he was displeased.
“How long do I have to wait for them to gossip in my front yard?”
President Lee Se-yeop bowed his head and said.
“Don’t worry, Chairman. I will finish it within today.”
smart!
A giant bald, scarred cheek came in.
“Did you call?”
“Vice President Im. Take good care of it so that the president doesn’t worry about it any more.”
“Yes, sir.”
After Doosik Lim left, President Lee Se-yeop told Chairman Hong Woo-song.
“You’d better not watch it from now on. Sit down and have a cup of coffee.”
Chairman Hong Woo-song, who was standing by the window, nodded his head and sat down. And he made the secretary bring coffee.
“Are there any problems?”
To that question, President Lee Se-yeop confidently said.
“of course. By the time you finish your coffee, you will be neatly organized.”
* * *
The company already had over 100 security guards on standby.
Half of them were Cheongju Consulting employees, and the other half were part-timers hired at 80,000 won per day.
Doosik Lim told them.
“Drive them out and take down all the tents and banners. If there are people who resist, I will defeat them.”
The servants shouted in unison.
“Okay!”
Doosik Lim added a word to raise morale.
“If you succeed within today, I will give you a bonus of 100,000 won each, so work hard.”
“I’ll do my best!”
The sound of the answer got louder than before to see if it worked.
They each brought a fire extinguisher and an iron pipe. I was used to it because I had already done it several times at various demolition sites and protest sites.
However, a part-timer who came to the site for the first time today raised his hand and said:
“What if I later become a problem with assault charges?”
“This bastard is unlucky!”
Doosik Lim approached him and swung his palm like a pot lid.
damn!
The part-timer was hit in the cheek and fell to the floor.
“You have to report a hundred days before the police do anything. If you cover your face anyway, you don’t know who is who. Previously, a cub broke her head and was carried away, but nothing happened. So, don’t worry about unnecessary things and just sweep it away.”
The servants wore hats and masks. Some had fire extinguishers in their hands.
Doosik Lim took the lead with an iron pipe.
“Go!”
* * *
The strike goal, which was aimed at implementing the two-shift system, has suddenly changed to a return to work.
The union members protested to return to work and return to work. Then, suddenly, a group of men in masks came out of the company.
They first sprayed a fire extinguisher in their hand.
Chi profit!
Someone shouted in the thick smoke.
“Push them all!”
“Wow!”
With the order, the services rushed in all at once. They first broke the tent with an iron pipe.
“Oh, no!”
The servicemen indiscriminately assaulted union members who stood in their way.
Wow!
Someone called the police, and a police car approached. The servants did not care and continued what they were doing.
Although the assault was clearly going on right in front of them, the police took a peek around and then went back.
The union members fought with the servicemen to protect the tents and banners.
Doosik Lim said to the staff next to him.
“Film all of them assaulting our children. You have to eat beanbread to get your mind right.”
No matter how much the members resist, they can’t stand the service thugs. Doosik Lim smiled, thinking that it would be over soon.
By the way… … .
Whoops!
“Gagging!”
Several of the services went out at the same time.
Suddenly, dozens of men in black clothes appeared in front of them.
The services were perplexed.
“Hey, what are these guys?”
Lim Doo-shik was not funny.
‘Did union bastards hire you?’
Other than that, there’s no explanation for these guys being here.
The men took something like a stick from their waist and swung it lightly.
🤩
The stick was turned into a three-stage stick.
Doosik Lim felt heat radiating from his head.
It’s not like sprinkling ashes on some cooked rice!
I don’t know what they are doing, but the numbers are much more advantageous here.
Doosik Lim shouted at the servicemen.
“Proceed as planned! Wipe it all away!”
* * *
Taek-gyu muttered with his arms crossed.
“Everyone has a plausible plan. Until you get hit.”
This is a quote from Mike Tyson.
We stood still and watched the fight between the service thugs and the X-Cop staff. While there were 100 service thugs, there were only 30 Xcop employees.
For me, who was worried that it would be too little, Manager Lee Cheol-jin was confident that this was enough.
Now that he’s watching, I can see why he was so confident.
No matter how many numbers you have, you’re just a service thug. First, there was a difference in group tactics. Unlike the service thugs who rushed at each other, X-Cop employees moved in a coordinated manner by matching their positions.
However, it does not mean that individual skills are inferior. These people are from special forces or mercenaries.
As if he had mastered any killing technique, he hit the vital point precisely and subdue it in one shot. Less than 20 minutes after the collision began, most of the service workers fell to the floor.
X-Cop staff gathered them in one place to prevent them from escaping and knelt down.
The only one standing now was a bald man who looked like a service gang boss. He said threateningly, wielding his iron pipe.
“Do you think you will be okay with this? This is assault, you bastards!”
Taek-gyu said as if he was excited.
“Hey! Those who acted as if they were living without the law would be at a disadvantage, it’s the rule of law! The world is a lot better.”
The bald head stared at Taek-gyu as if to kill him. Then Taek-gyu was startled and hid behind me.
“Hey! Be afraid!”
The bald man only stared, but he didn’t rush.
Because Manager Lee Cheol-jin was standing in front of me.
“I filmed all of you assaults with a camera. I will report it to the police.”
“… … .”
I did not know that I would be threatened by a service gangster to report it to the police.
“Very good idea.”
I pulled out my phone and dialed 112.
“Is it the police station? Here, right now, in front of a mailing company, the union is rushing to the company and assaulting security guards. Come on out, please.”
I hung up the phone and then said.
“Let’s wait a moment.”
“What the hell are these bastards doing?”
I couldn’t stand it any longer, so my bald head rushed in. While watching him swing the iron pipe, Manager Lee Cheol-jin stood still.
Then he immediately lowered his body and swung his fist.
Whoa!
“Uh-huh!”
His honest outstretched fist pierced his opponent’s face. The bald head collapsed on the spot with his shrill screams.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“Oh oh!”
When we were surprised, Manager Lee Cheol-jin said with a smile.
“I did some boxing when I was young.”
Wow!
Not long after, about 10 police cars came to the scene with a loud siren sound. The police rushed out from inside the police car.
A person who appeared to be the commander gave the order.
“Arrest every union member who wields violence!”
But no one obeyed the order. Because things were already over.
The servants gathered in one place and were kneeling more or less, and X-Cop staff surrounded them.
“What, what? What the hell is this?”
Manager Lee Cheol-jin said.
“I’m Lee Cheol-jin, manager of Xcop.
“Eh, X-Cop?”
“I was passing by by chance and saw men with iron pipes ruthlessly beating people and helped out. There is no problem since we caught current criminals, but just in case, we recorded the whole situation with an action cam attached to our clothes.”
clap clap!
Taek-gyu applauded and admired.
“Hey! Earlier, when I reported that the service was a fan of the union, a police car came and took a look around, and when the union reported that I was a fan of the service, I was completely mobilized. Anyone who sees it would know that I received money from a postal company.”
I said to the bewildered commander.
“Look over there and smile.”
“Huh?”
I pointed to the roof of the commercial building. There were cameras and reporters there.
“I, that… … ?”
“News Breakthrough is a media company. I came here a few days ago and continued to investigate. I have recorded all the reports and the dispatch situation, and I will spread it all over the internet under the title ‘Coal relationship between the local police station and the postal company’.”
“What, what?”
“More than that… … .”
I told the Xcop staff.
“Take off all these people’s hats and masks.”
The employees took off all the caps and masks of the servants. I took the papers out of my inner pocket.
“Not long ago, there was an incident where a service worker threw a fire extinguisher and the union member’s skull was broken. The police didn’t intend to investigate, so I came to ask them to find evidence on their own. Fortunately, Karos has facial recognition and location recognition AI programs? By analyzing the video taken at the time, we checked the direction the fire extinguisher flew, the location of the person who threw it, and even the face.”
Advanced forensic investigations are not limited to the police. We can say that we are the best in this area of technology.
I looked at the faces of the servants the whole time I spoke. I saw one of them contemplating and avoiding my gaze.
I put the printed photo next to him.
“I think this person is right.”
He shook his head desperately.
“Wow, what do you mean? it’s not me!”
“If you compare it with a facial recognition program, it will come out accurately. Don’t worry, nothing will happen if it’s not you. But how many years have you been charged with special injury?”
“Aye!”
He jumped up abruptly, pushed the person next to him and started running away.
I looked at the police instead of chasing myself, he said.
“What are you doing? The police don’t arrest criminals?”
