Mr Jung sat in his office, staring through the big glass window. He had been sitting motionlessly and stared outside ever since he received the reporting call from his financial manager. The banks didn't want to lend his enterprise money. In actual fact, Mr Jung knew beforehand this would happen - his business experience told him there would be no bank willing to take the risk. The amount of money was simply too huge, and since the news all reported their issue, the Jung Enterprise had already lost reputation. The statistics and numbers were screaming into the bank directors' faces, warning them to not be foolish and lend the Jung Enterprise money. Because who could assure the Jungs will be able to return the money and the interest? And who could assure another miscalculation wouldn't happen in future?
Mr Jung gripped the armrest of his chair at the thoughts of the bitter reality. A sudden rage took over him, a feeling he never showed anyone. Mr Jung was a master in keeping calm - he never released anger in front of anybody except for his wife, who wished him to do so. He had lived long enough to understand anger could drive people to do things they would very regret later. It's said the one who takes a fly into a rage always makes a bad landing. Mr Jung had taken such a fly, not too long ago, on the day he yelled at his daughter as she didn't wanted to get married, and the result was her running away for two weeks.
However, right now, he felt like beating up the one that betrayed him, not caring a bit about the consequences. What landing could be worse then losing the enterprise, anyway?
Mr Jung closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, letting his rage waste slowly. He tried to clear his mind, thinking about the system he had set up. Where was the flaw spot?
Every project started with the project manager's proposal to the board. Mr Sung, the project manager, looked for available projects on the market and considered the profitability of each offer. He presented the chosen one to the board and a vote would be taking place, deciding whether to take it or not. If at least 70% of the manager board and experts agreed, Mr Sung would continue with the preparation work. He was in charge of calculating the costs and approximating the needed personal force. Actually as the manager, he didn't have to personally do it, but rather supervise and make sure everything worked smoothly and accurately. However, as the one passing the calculation to the financial manager and the approximation to the personnel manager, he could easily change the data others had worked out.
Ordinarily, the financial manager, Mr Park, would check out the enterprise's financial status to decide whether it's financially doable or not. If it was the case, he would submit a report to the president. If it wasn't the case, a report would still be submitted, but with an additional explanation and analysis personally done by Mr Park. Assuming Mr Park was the traitor, of course things where easy to him since he had Mr Jung's full trust and hence all the possibilities to mislead the president. However, Mr Jung always examined the submitted reports carefully, especially those for projects that required high financial investment, like the one of the Kim company. He had never found anything suspicious and thought the risk was worth taking, thus he had set his sign and with that, the execution of the project had officially kicked in. After the president's approval, the execution manager would be taking the lead of the projects while the quality manager oversaw everything, making sure the customer companies wouldn't have anything to complain.
If three of the Jung Enterprise's partner companies hadn't faced the danger of going bankrupt at the same time and needed help, Mr Jung wouldn't have been so venturous and had probably refused to take two high-risk projects at once. He still remembered how the board debated for four days about it until he suggested a democratic voting. Mr Jung was all in all a democrat. In the end, the profit spoke louder than the fears and worries and the Jung enterprise accepted both offers. If the voting had turned out differently, they would have dropped the Kim company project. Personally, Mr Jung would really loath to do so, since that project was the one they won against the Kwon Enterprise.
