THE ORDINARY JACKPOT 03:00.886 --> 03:02.764 Yes, thank you. 03:03.431 --> 03:06.894 I can't remember the last time we sat together like this, Director. 03:06.895 --> 03:10.273 I know, when was it? 03:10.274 --> 03:12.639 I think it was when you were at the Pyeongtaek Branch, Director Kim. 03:14.259 --> 03:15.439 Oh, right, I see. 03:15.526 --> 03:18.368 That was when CEO Hong came to the Pyeongtaek Branch, 03:18.456 --> 03:22.304 and turned the store upside down, threatening to pull all Hongseong stores? 03:24.403 --> 03:27.071 Man, I was really terrified back then. 03:27.159 --> 03:29.607 CEO Hong was yelling about whether to pull the brands or not, 03:29.695 --> 03:34.374 and whether to complain to the head office or not. 03:34.462 --> 03:37.436 We ended up getting complaints from the customers. 03:37.523 --> 03:39.885 They said it was too loud while they were shopping. 03:39.972 --> 03:42.771 Did you know the head office reserved the room next to the restaurant? 03:42.859 --> 03:44.301 Excuse me? 03:44.390 --> 03:46.093 A stenographer will write up the minutes 03:46.094 --> 03:47.819 and send them directly to the Chairman. 03:48.399 --> 03:50.219 That is how important this meeting is. 03:51.280 --> 03:53.224 Oh, you were there too, right? 03:53.310 --> 03:55.039 Oh, yes. I was there too. 03:55.766 --> 03:57.436 After CEO Hong left back then, 03:57.522 --> 04:01.933 the person who came to discuss details was Deputy General Manager Jang, right? 04:02.019 --> 04:03.019 Oh, yes, that is correct. 04:03.699 --> 04:04.698 You remember. 04:04.699 --> 04:07.582 I retrained the employees after that incident. 04:07.668 --> 04:09.956 I told them, "Do not mess with Hongseong. Okay?" 04:09.957 --> 04:13.265 "Nothing good will come from messing with them, got it?" 04:15.343 --> 04:19.584 By the way, you heard that CGM acquired Gwandong this time, right? 04:20.560 --> 04:21.818 Yes, I heard. 04:21.819 --> 04:25.245 But it doesn't look very good. 04:25.246 --> 04:27.922 Since they failed in Korea, they couldn't just leave, 04:28.047 --> 04:31.139 so they acquired a company just to say they made it into the market. 04:31.140 --> 04:33.313 Isn't that what it looks like? 04:33.314 --> 04:35.332 Gwandong was already receiving goods from CGM anyway, 04:35.333 --> 04:37.419 so nothing has really changed much. 04:39.500 --> 04:40.579 It is a good thing for Gwandong. 04:40.800 --> 04:43.779 The company was on the verge of ruin, but sold shares at a good price. 04:43.872 --> 04:46.213 CGM really gave a lot of people a hard time. 04:46.306 --> 04:48.927 They just started fights among us for no reason. 04:50.331 --> 04:51.407 Rather than a fight, 04:51.501 --> 04:54.216 wasn't it a game where we were just taking a one-sided beating? 04:55.480 --> 04:57.459 We didn't even do anything. 05:06.527 --> 05:08.494 Speaking of which, 05:08.495 --> 05:11.574 the fight was not between your company and ours. 05:11.575 --> 05:15.253 In fact, the one who made the companies compete over commission rates 05:15.254 --> 05:17.349 was your company, in my opinion. 05:23.808 --> 05:25.904 You said you were Team Leader Gong Eun-tae, right? 05:25.990 --> 05:26.990 Yes. 05:27.123 --> 05:32.098 He is the one who brought MANTOVA to Korea this time. 05:32.230 --> 05:33.230 Oh, I see. 05:34.930 --> 05:36.689 It is all business in the end, isn't it? 05:36.778 --> 05:39.786 Please understand that we had no choice from our perspective. 05:41.113 --> 05:44.033 If there are many companies that want the same space, 05:44.121 --> 05:47.396 they inevitably have to compete. 05:47.529 --> 05:50.208 Yes, I fully understand that. 05:50.209 --> 05:53.490 Team Leader Gong isn't saying that because he doesn't understand. 05:55.963 --> 05:58.263 Well, what I would like to ask is, 05:58.264 --> 06:01.801 whether Hongseong will take over the brands that Gwandong used to handle, 06:01.802 --> 06:05.084 or if you will leave them with Gwandong. 06:05.170 --> 06:06.195 What is Hongseong's opinion on this? 06:06.196 --> 06:07.231 WHAT IS HONGSEONG'S OPINION ON THIS? 06:10.104 --> 06:16.923 We don't plan to take all the overlapping brands between MANTOVA and CGM. 06:17.026 --> 06:21.708 Especially if they are brands that Gwandong used to handle. 06:21.810 --> 06:23.729 We don't want Gwandong to disappear either. 06:23.822 --> 06:28.916 It is true that the market stabilizes when a major controller stays alive. 06:29.008 --> 06:32.621 Oh, I am glad you think so. 06:33.872 --> 06:39.336 As the General Manager said, it is good if Gwandong stays strong. 06:39.430 --> 06:43.149 However, why you keep bringing up Gwandong 06:43.242 --> 06:45.272 is something I don't quite understand. 06:46.310 --> 06:50.230 As you mentioned, we are also responsible for this situation. 06:50.930 --> 06:53.649 We want to prevent any further unnecessary competition. 06:57.899 --> 07:00.899 Of course, Hongseong will not do as we want. 07:01.779 --> 07:04.399 So we should attack first. 07:04.490 --> 07:09.230 But what if Hongseong actually pulls all their stores? 07:09.322 --> 07:13.464 Even Hongseong cannot sell clothes without a Department Store. 07:13.556 --> 07:15.442 We need to take a strong stance. 07:17.100 --> 07:20.360 If this does not work, it is over for both of us. 07:20.451 --> 07:22.034 So do something about it. 07:24.069 --> 07:26.377 Well... about that. 07:26.467 --> 07:30.991 For the brands that overlap between Hongseong and Gwandong in our select shop, 07:31.081 --> 07:34.836 I was wondering if we could receive some from Gwandong as well. 07:35.470 --> 07:36.490 What do you think? 07:44.850 --> 07:45.850 What do you think, Team Leader Gong? 07:49.470 --> 07:50.738 Personally... 07:51.573 --> 07:53.430 I would like you to reconsider that part. 07:53.521 --> 07:56.371 Excuse me? Why do you say that? 07:56.462 --> 07:57.683 Since your company is our client, 07:57.773 --> 08:01.348 we are in no position to dictate your decisions. 08:01.439 --> 08:03.339 However... 08:03.430 --> 08:06.371 the people at MANTOVA were never that reasonable. 08:07.050 --> 08:10.529 Are you saying Hongseong is fine, but MANTOVA is not? 08:10.617 --> 08:14.201 Yes, because your company has already entered China. 08:14.289 --> 08:18.629 If CGM attempts to enter your China Department Store via Gwandong, 08:19.387 --> 08:21.992 I do not think MANTOVA will just sit back and watch. 08:22.750 --> 08:26.869 If that happens, the traditional European brand stores 08:26.870 --> 08:30.996 in the first-floor luxury section might end up completely empty. 08:31.931 --> 08:34.460 General Manager Park and I will just play along. 08:34.461 --> 08:36.369 Deputy General Manager Jang will set the mood, 08:36.370 --> 08:37.887 and Team Leader Gong will handle the fighting. 08:37.888 --> 08:38.887 Yes, understood. 08:38.888 --> 08:40.691 - Team Leader Gong. - Yes. 08:40.692 --> 08:42.832 Go wild, do whatever you want. 08:43.495 --> 08:45.090 Understood. 08:45.091 --> 08:47.730 And if you intend to distribute and receive goods through Gwandong, 08:47.819 --> 08:50.605 we will also change the special entry commission rate we have provided 08:50.694 --> 08:52.043 back to the base rate. 08:52.132 --> 08:54.514 We would appreciate your understanding on this matter. 08:54.603 --> 08:58.108 But wasn't that condition proposed by Hongseong first? 08:58.198 --> 09:01.702 Filling your select shop exclusively with Hongseong's goods 09:01.792 --> 09:03.679 was the original condition of the contract. 09:03.769 --> 09:06.850 Since you are changing your terms, shouldn't we change ours as well? 09:06.939 --> 09:12.140 And we will also lower our commission to 14%, based on luxury standards. 09:12.230 --> 09:13.903 Wait, 14%? 09:13.994 --> 09:16.842 I understand you raised the previous 16% commission 09:16.933 --> 09:22.360 to 20% after this CGM incident. And you demanded up to 22% from CGM. 09:22.450 --> 09:25.349 If you want to receive our goods again in the future, 09:25.350 --> 09:27.315 you will have to match it at 14%. 09:27.316 --> 09:31.132 - Well, that is a bit... - We... 09:31.133 --> 09:33.892 understand the actions your company took against us. 09:33.893 --> 09:37.269 So we would appreciate it if you understood our actions as well. 09:38.409 --> 09:39.409 It is all just business in the end, is it not? 09:58.784 --> 10:01.503 Hello, Manager! How are you doing? 10:01.504 --> 10:03.924 Assistant Manager Yang. 10:03.925 --> 10:05.965 Here, have something cold, all right? 10:08.047 --> 10:10.680 What is all this chaos about? 10:10.681 --> 10:13.824 Why are they pulling out and putting back stores that were doing just fine? 10:13.825 --> 10:16.714 Well, things just ended up that way while working. 10:16.800 --> 10:20.325 It is fine that Hongseong and Paradis are having a power struggle, 10:20.326 --> 10:23.512 but are we not the ones who end up moving the merchandise in and out? 10:23.513 --> 10:27.464 I know, I know, Manager. That is why I am preparing something. 10:27.550 --> 10:28.589 When we renew the contract, 10:28.590 --> 10:31.618 I am going to try and raise the commission for our managers. 10:31.619 --> 10:33.278 How does that sound? 10:33.279 --> 10:37.346 - Are you serious? - I might be rude, but I do not lie. 10:37.347 --> 10:38.430 That is true. 10:39.870 --> 10:42.462 Man, I should probably change this. 10:43.450 --> 10:44.590 There, like this. 10:53.140 --> 10:54.139 Huh? 10:54.140 --> 10:56.197 - Assistant Manager. - Yeah? 10:56.198 --> 10:57.800 Um... 11:09.277 --> 11:11.564 What is it? Do you have something to say? 11:13.776 --> 11:16.102 If not, you can leave. I'm busy enough as it is. 11:16.103 --> 11:17.179 Oh, I'm sorry! 11:20.573 --> 11:22.009 For what? 11:22.097 --> 11:24.055 Uh, well... 11:25.317 --> 11:26.666 No, what are you sorry for? 11:26.753 --> 11:31.541 Uh... No, I think I was out of my mind for a second. 11:31.629 --> 11:34.803 I mean, as you know, when we opened the store, 11:34.804 --> 11:36.688 uh, we relied heavily on Hongseong, didn't we? 11:36.689 --> 11:40.271 I think I unconsciously focused too much on accommodating Hongseong. 11:40.272 --> 11:45.306 Uh, and I guess a lot of hard feelings built up because of that. 11:45.307 --> 11:48.677 I completely understand why you were upset. 11:48.678 --> 11:50.512 I hope you can forgive me! 11:54.950 --> 11:56.950 Look, first of all, thank you for apologizing. 11:57.051 --> 12:00.328 It's not like I did everything right either. 12:00.428 --> 12:05.469 Let's just say we were both in the wrong and move on. 12:05.570 --> 12:08.249 Uh, oh, wow, thank you. Oh, thank you so much. 12:08.250 --> 12:11.173 Oh, um, well, in that case, um... 12:12.409 --> 12:18.132 Can I assume we'll proceed with the contract as originally planned? 12:18.133 --> 12:19.862 Oh, that's not going to happen. 12:19.863 --> 12:21.139 What? 12:21.140 --> 12:26.039 I admit I was completely at fault for us cursing and fighting. 12:26.040 --> 12:28.840 But the way PARADI MALL treated us back then 12:29.870 --> 12:32.011 was definitely wrong. Yeah. 12:32.012 --> 12:34.523 Sure, we could always sign a new contract. 12:34.524 --> 12:37.982 And if you have the upper hand, you can use it to your advantage, 12:37.983 --> 12:40.123 but the way you went about it was way out of line. 12:40.124 --> 12:42.471 You should get going. I have a lot of work to do. 12:42.472 --> 12:45.313 Oh, Assistant-- Assistant Manager, please. 12:45.314 --> 12:48.607 The penalty fee we have to pay Hongseong, 12:48.608 --> 12:53.220 we ended up having to split it 50-50 with CGM. 12:53.221 --> 12:56.597 Oh, our company is really going to go under at this rate. 12:57.586 --> 13:00.385 That's a problem for PARADI MALL to solve. 13:00.386 --> 13:02.238 Besides, companies don't go under that easily. 13:02.239 --> 13:03.844 I know. You won't go under. You won't. 13:03.845 --> 13:05.574 Assistant Manager, 13:05.575 --> 13:08.046 please, I'm begging you. 13:09.240 --> 13:11.669 Oh, come on. 13:11.670 --> 13:14.428 I'll even carry boxes for you! 13:15.788 --> 13:17.764 Why would you carry boxes? 13:17.765 --> 13:20.442 Why would we make you do something so demeaning? 13:21.965 --> 13:24.971 Anyway, I noticed earlier that the store's interior is pretty outdated, 13:24.972 --> 13:27.441 so let's talk about the interior design again later. 13:27.442 --> 13:28.801 What? 13:28.802 --> 13:30.324 We'll talk later. Later, you can kneel later. 13:30.325 --> 13:32.755 No, no, later, I'll contact you later... Ugh, it's heavy. 13:34.732 --> 13:36.709 Yeah, I'll be in touch.

It's not a good look. 15:45.628 --> 15:47.652 You can just say you did it. 15:49.129 --> 15:50.390 It seems like Hongseong has a better grip on the market now. 15:50.498 --> 15:55.850 I saw they actually yielded margins to the companies that stayed loyal. 15:57.270 --> 15:59.710 They sent a clear signal to the market. 16:00.530 --> 16:02.610 If you're with Hongseong, you profit. 16:03.830 --> 16:05.950 If you go against Hongseong, they'll fight with all they have. 16:07.629 --> 16:10.007 Ah, we didn't necessarily intend that. 16:10.100 --> 16:13.645 We just expressed our gratitude where it was due. 16:16.350 --> 16:17.910 Honestly, it was fun, wasn't it? 16:18.470 --> 16:19.470 What was? 16:19.730 --> 16:20.730 Working. 16:21.730 --> 16:22.730 Wasn't it fun? 16:23.877 --> 16:26.224 I can tell without even looking. 16:26.330 --> 16:27.330 Even though I lost, it was still fun for me. 16:29.202 --> 16:31.965 After leaving Hongseong, 16:32.058 --> 16:37.676 I felt like I was finally working again.
