“yes. It’s a massage chair. The Meister released by Body Care this time.”

In response to Jang Tae-hyun’s slightly confused reaction, Marchesi picked up the item he wanted and said. However, that didn’t mean Jang Tae-hyeon’s embarrassment disappeared.

‘No, this new product is very well received… … .’

The Meister’s popularity is truly a craze. It was because there was no gap for products to accumulate in the warehouse due to lack of stock.

However, isn’t it something that could come out in a secret meeting with the head of another group, and not even a domestic company, but a conglomerate from India?

Big hum.

Taehyung Jang clears his throat with a clearing of his throat, trying hard to hide his embarrassment.

“It looks like you like our products.”

It was quite an unexpected proposal because I was only thinking about the platform construction project, but it’s not a bad thing.

In any case, Marchesi’s interest in this product was quite positive in itself. If that’s enough to propose an income first, it’s not simply ‘I like it’.

“Yes. I really liked it.”

And at Taehyun Jang’s words, Marchesi smiled and answered honestly.

This morning, he went to a department store to try out other massage chairs.

Maybe it’s not just The Meister, but all the massage chairs out in Korea are excellent.

The conclusion I came to after doing such a simple market analysis was… It’s just that The Meister’s performance is exceptional at an overwhelming level. And to that extent, the commercial value was also superior.

This is an item you don’t want to miss.

Marchesi thought so seriously.

“So, what do you think of my proposal?”

“Yes, of course, thank you. However… … .”

Jang Tae-hyun said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Currently, it is difficult to keep up with domestic demand. Besides, I haven’t heard anything about the Indian market for massage chairs. I can’t help but feel a little worried.”

Originally, the main export route is to start with China and gradually expand to Japan and Southeast Asia.

The massage chair market itself is generally confined to East Asia, and to other countries, it was only a small amount of supply to department stores.

And India isn’t that big of a market either. There was a bit more demand than in the West, but in other words, there was only that much expectation.

Of course, it would be nice if the number of overseas sellers increased.

At this time, when we are preparing to enter the Chinese and Japanese markets, spreading our feet too wide may cause loss in terms of opportunity cost.

“Hmm… I understand what you are saying.”

Marchesi is also an entrepreneur who has gone through a series of prenatal battles.

I didn’t say it directly, but I could guess what Jang Tae-hyun was saying.

“But I don’t offer any trades that will cost me a loss.”

If I had simply liked the item, I would have personally asked to purchase it. The reason why I even suggested income was because I was convinced that this item had sufficient business value and could hit the jackpot.

Of course, it was true that a massage chair was quite unfamiliar in India, but… … .

There are plenty of affluent people who can’t wait to spend their money on something quirky and new, and this massage chair is enough to get their attention.

Even if you sit for 10 minutes, the knotted muscles loosen up, and if you sit for an hour, vitality returns to your body that was pickled in chronic fatigue. How can you stand this?

Marchesi had considerable confidence in his own eyes and judgment, and based on that confidence, he handed over this proposal.

“and… If you build a relationship of trust while working on a business together, it will be easier to complete another business. Wouldn’t it be?”

Then Marchesi sneakily throws rice cakes.

Although he did not directly mention what business he was talking about, it was clear to the two parties what the business meant.

Large-scale occupancy platform project in progress by Elephant Industries. That the project can be entrusted to Daecheong Construction.

Marchesi’s words weren’t meant to be temporarily flattering, nor were they just uttering words that weren’t there.

In fact, the conditions of the remaining competitors were all roughly similar, and it was a situation where we were weighing the future business relationship and the possibility of additional negotiations.

In such a situation, if other businesses are linked… … .

Perhaps the scales are bound to tip this way.

“If you say that, I can’t refuse.”

Jang Tae-hyun nodded slowly at Marchesi’s words.

However, his expression is bright. If the story didn’t come out, he was thinking of mentioning it separately, but didn’t Marchesi speak directly?

“I need to consider the current production volume and future plans, but… For now, we will review it as positively as possible.”

So Jang Tae-hyun readily nodded and replied.

Of course, nothing has been confirmed regarding the order. Maybe later, you can stick out your flippers and say, ‘I never said that.’

But the same goes for this one. The public seat is tomorrow, and today is only a private seat. Nothing is definitively determined.

However, what is clear is that I had a very positive conversation with the total number of the other customer group right here. That in itself could be considered an achievement.

“Haha, thank you for saying that!”

Then, Marchesi gets up from her seat and walks slowly. Jang Tae-hyeon also got up from his seat and approached him. The two held each other’s hands right in the middle.

“Then, I wish you well in the future.”

“I really appreciate you.”

Two people smiling at each other.

In a way, it was such a strange relationship that the massage chair made it.

“Ah, I see… … .”

While shaking hands like that, we parted ways.

Marchesi opened his mouth quietly as if he had remembered it belatedly. Scratching his head with an embarrassing expression was the opposite of his serious expression from before.

“Could you by any chance get a separate massage chair… … ?”

Marchesi visited the department store in the morning and looked around the massage chairs. There he confirmed another impressive fact.

“The department store says they don’t have anything they want to sell.”

The story of having to wait at least 6 to 7 weeks, actually almost two months! It was a very long time for Marchesi, who wanted to have it right away and even tried to install and use it on a private plane returning home.

“… How can you not?”

“Well, if that’s the case… … .”

Marchesi’s gaze, as if she could feel the earnestness.

Jang Tae-hyun felt embarrassed at the slightly burdensome look in his eyes and opened his mouth softly.

“… I will make sure to save you.”

“Ooh! thank you! You’re cool, Mr. Jang! ha ha ha!”

And then, like a pleasant old man, a lively laugh. Seeing the innocent joy, Jang Tae-hyun burst into laughter without even realizing it.

‘If I don’t have affection, I’ll have to take it away from home… … .’

* * *

a few days after that.

[A surprise visit from Tarbin Marchesi, the head of Elephant Industries? ‘Steps with hundreds of billions of projects.’]

[Sometimes a capricious owner, sometimes a cold-hearted businessman. Anecdotes and strategic analysis related to Tarvin Marchesi.]

[A shoulder strap worth 500 billion won? Between the two group leaders who seem to be getting along very well. Marchesi said ‘Mr. Zhang is a very good and friendly business partner!’]

The originally scheduled visit to Marchesh went smoothly, and as a result, several articles about the relationship between Elephant Industries and Daechung Group were posted.

‘It seems to be going well.’

Read at noblemtl. com

Looking through the articles, Kang Tae-han smiled. Somehow, since I am acquainted with both Chairman Jang Tae-hyun and Marchesi, the articles in question seemed strange and special.

“Taehan, what are you looking at so well?”

“This is an article from customers of our store.”

When Director Hwang, who was sitting across from him, asked an insinuating question, Kang Tae-han showed him the screen of his smartphone and said,

“… When you say that, it feels very friendly.”

What appears on the screen is Marchesi and Jang Tae-hyun’s article.

Originally, an article like this would feel far away like a story from another world, but after listening to Kang Tae-han, it feels as close as a story about a local person.

“You didn’t say anything wrong, did you?”

“That makes it even more strange.”

Both of them had visited the store before and, in a way, they had even visited the store again, so I didn’t say anything out of the ordinary.

“not. It’s not like it’s an unrelated story.”

At the same time, Chief Hwang shrugged lightly.

“why. Stock?”

“right. I am also an avid shareholder of Daecheong Group.”

The last time I heard that Kang Tae-han would participate as a massage chair’s technical advisor. Director Hwang took all his spare money and put it into body care stocks.

The idea of hitting the jackpot unconditionally, at least hitting the upper limit.

At the time, it was in a situation where it was pushed to the lower limit by Relax Home, but it was a full purchase with only faith and trust in Kang Tae-han.

As a result, the increased money is at least 50% of the investment.

Although it was a small amount, he had been doing stocks for a long time, and it was the most diverse return rate in his investment life.

Did just thinking about that memory make you feel better?

A smile formed on the corner of Hwang’s lips.

“Did you go to Daecheong Construction too?”

“No, I didn’t buy that… … .”

However, the hottest item right now is Daecheong Construction.

With a large project ahead of Elephant Industries, Marchesi visited in person and even showed a close relationship with Chairman Jang Tae-hyun, and the stock market began to react.

Originally, I thought there was virtually no possibility of winning the order, but now it is the most likely candidate.

As domestic investors as well as foreign funds flocked to this significant good news, Daecheong Construction’s stock price was trending upward.

“Then you should listen to Taehan.”

Director Hwang said in a voice full of regret.

It wasn’t anything else, the day Marchesi came to the store, he didn’t say the details, but Kang Tae-han hinted at it.

“… What about Taehan? Did you have some fun?”

“Well… Moderate.”

Kang Tae-han put his chin on his chin and pretended to be lost in thought for a while, then smiled and said so.

“Be moderate… … .”

It hit the jackpot, I scraped in the money.

Kang Tae-han’s words of moderation felt more weighty to Chief Hwang than those clichés.

“Is Taehan living for dinner tonight?”

“Well, that’s enough.”

Chief Hwang pokes at me once.

At that, Kang Tae-han shrugged his shoulders and replied in a calm voice.

“Hey, it’s convenient to come down in the car.”

The signboard of the Daejeon toll gate is starting to appear.

Then, Choi Seong-hyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke with a voice mixed with admiration.

“If I don’t drive, I have no choice but to be comfortable.”

“So that’s what I mean.”

Kang Tae-han speaks in a calm voice. At those words, Choi Seong-hyun smiled playfully and nodded his head.

“Thanks to you, I came here comfortably, Taehan.”

Although he doesn’t go in and out as often as Kang Tae-han, Choi Seong-hyeon is also from Daejeon like Kang Tae-han. When I said that I was going to go home this time, Kang Tae-han readily offered to give me a ride.

“okay? Then could you possibly help me?”

“What is it?”

“I’m going to stop by my father’s store for a while.”

Kang Tae-han said in a calm voice as he passed the toll gate with a high pass.

“I heard that one of the employees suddenly had a funk. I was going to go and help out, but I was wondering if you could lend me a hand for a while.”

“… okay?”

Seonghyun Choi glanced at his watch.

It’s almost 11:00 AM now.

If there is a shortage of workers while lunchtime is right around the corner, there is no choice but to significantly hinder the business of the store.

“I want to see your father after a long time, so I can help too.”

If it’s Kang Tae-han’s store, Choi Seong-hyun knows it.

A simple shop located in an alleyway.

I heard that there have been a lot of customers these days, but it wouldn’t be too much of a big deal to help out there. Seonghyun Choi nodded happily.

“I knew you would say that.”

Then Taehan Kang started to turn the steering wheel.

A different path from what Seonghyeon Choi was thinking of.

It was a road that did not connect to his house or Kang Tae-han’s house or shop.

“Why are you going this way?”

“Are you going to your father’s store?”

“… Then you should have gone that way.”

“Oh, this time we moved to a new store.”

“… okay?”

At Kang Tae-han’s words, Seong-hyeon Choi scratched his head and sat back down on the backrest. A feeling of uneasiness crept in.

and after a while

“This… You must be short on manpower.”

Choi Seong-hyeon, who arrived near the store, nodded slowly as if he understood.

Just looking at it, the store looks much bigger than the last one.

But outside, more than a dozen people were walking around, each holding a piece of paper that looked like a numbered ticket in his hand.

“… I meant to bring you here from the beginning.”

“Not from the beginning, but from the middle.”

Choi Seong-hyeon speaks while glancing at the driver’s seat as if it came to mind.

At Choi Seong-hyun’s reaction, Kang Tae-han unknowingly burst into laughter.
