Real Man-Chapter 809

Rei Kawakubo spoke to her, who had a complicated mind.

“This handsome Korean young man praised you a lot, didn’t he?”

“Did he?”

“Yes. Steve, what did he say?”

“He said that Ms. Fukada is as beautiful as you, Ms. Rei.”

“Ho ho. That’s right. That’s a very impressive compliment.”

“…”

How did she manage to make the stiff Rei Kawakubo clap and laugh like that?

Fukada Jun felt bewildered by her relaxed appearance, which she had never seen before.

Rei Kawakubo pointed at Yoo-hyun and asked.

“Fukada, is he your new business partner?”

“Of course not. There will never be such a thing in the future.”

Fukada Jun shook her hand vigorously, and Rei Kawakubo’s voice became serious.

“Fukada, you never know what will happen in life. Think back to your chick days. Who would have thought you would come this far?”

“Well… that’s true.”

Fukada Jun reluctantly agreed, glancing at Yoo-hyun.

After finishing the conversation with Rei Kawakubo, Yoo-hyun greeted the other designers.

They were all big shots in the Japanese industry.

How did he manage to open their hearts, when it was hard to even meet them in person?

The answer was in Perez Vago’s phone call.

The representative of the world’s largest magazine company and now also the representative of the Reverb Europe branch, he moved the conservative Japanese fashion industry in one stroke.

‘I owe him a meal.’

Thanks to him, Yoo-hyun easily settled the matter and talked with the Japanese designers about the Reverb fashion review.

Just like he had collaborated with fashion brands in Europe and Korea, a close relationship with them was essential for the success of the Japanese fashion review.

Yoo-hyun took care of the practical matters while keeping an eye on Fukada Jun’s movements.

She interviewed the fashion designers and also appeased the industry insiders.

He could see why she had few enemies even though she spoke her mind, from the way she took care of the staff at the bottom.

“That’s amazing.”

Her appearance in the magazine text and her appearance on the scene were different.

Yoo-hyun accompanied her all afternoon and got a glimpse of her skills and beliefs.

Yoo-hyun shared his feelings today at Yamamoto Ramen Shop.

He also introduced the human side of Fukada Jun that she showed him.

“Some people were upset by Ms. Fukada’s articles. But she managed to soothe them and change the atmosphere.”

The chef, Yamamoto Ryohei, who was listening, nodded his head.

“Hmm, Ms. Fukada seems to be a very generous person.”

“She looks very prickly on the outside, but I think she’s warm on the inside.”

“She is prickly indeed.”

“What?”

The chef, who was muttering softly, suddenly raised his hand.

“Never mind. But do you want to follow her around even though you hear bad things?”

“Isn’t it a matter of course if I have a sense of duty?”

“Who likes being followed around?”

“I’m going to help her from now on. Then she won’t hate it, right?”

To move the other person’s heart, you have to scratch where it itches.

That was the basic mindset of sales.

The chef gave a hollow laugh.

“Anyway, you’re passionate.”

“These guys are more passionate than me.”

“How come?”

“First of all, Doha…”

Yoo-hyun talked about Nadoha, who accompanied the entertainment magazine editor Shinozaki Minami, and then about Lee Seunghyuk, the director who followed Yosuke Matsutaka, the IT magazine editor.

They were all in a similar situation as Yoo-hyun, but they found their own ways to secure their positions.

The chef looked incredulous after hearing everything.

“Do you guys really think this will convince them?”

“We have to try to make it happen.”

“It could be a waste of effort.”

He had thought that it might not work from the beginning.

But there was a huge difference between giving up easily and trying until the end.

Yoo-hyun asked the latter of Nadoha and Lee Seunghyuk.

“There’s a saying in Korea that there’s no tree that doesn’t fall after ten hits.”

“Japanese trees are hard. It won’t be easy.”

“Then I’ll hit it a hundred times if I have to.”

The chef looked at Yoo-hyun strangely, who showed a firm will.

“Steve, you’re a famous company representative in Korea. Why are you running around barefoot in the field?”

“Then who’s going to do this job?”

“Don’t you have a lot of subordinates? Let them do these trivial things, and you should do the big things.”

If he only looked at efficiency, the chef’s words were right a hundred times.

But Yoo-hyun’s thought was the opposite.

“This is a job of meeting and moving people. It’s bigger than any other job.”

“People?”

“Yes. Don’t you think the Morumoru editors also go to the field interviews for that reason?”

“…”

The chef’s eyes changed strangely at Yoo-hyun’s smiling question.

There was a common point among the five Morumoru editors.

They went to the important scenes themselves instead of sending their staff.

They also carefully checked the articles of their staff and improved the quality of the magazine.

-The best magazine ever!

As if to show that Morumoru’s catchphrase, which looked a bit childish, was not made for nothing, they did their best in their roles.

It was not for nothing that Morumoru’s reputation was high.

Yoo-hyun and his party felt that fact on their skin.

When they realized the necessity of Morumoru, their determination became stronger.

Yoo-hyun tried to get rid of the label of acquisition and approach Fukada Jun, the editor in charge, sincerely.

He accompanied her schedule and took care of the missed parts carefully.

Tanaka’s information was the basis of this work.

Of course, it was not easy.

There were direct conflicts with the editors, and there were many incidents and accidents that were involved in the middle.

But he couldn’t spit on a smiling face, and he met almost every day, so naturally a relationship was formed.

He didn’t forget to convey the value of Reverb in the meantime.

There was one more thing he didn’t forget.

Every time he finished the day, he stopped by the ramen shop and poured out his experiences as if he was consulting.

As the conversation piled up, the distance between him and the chef got closer.

That’s how a month passed.

One early morning, as the hot summer was coming to an end.

A ambitious article from Korea was translated and posted on Yahoo Japan.

-The newly released Unique3 is equipped with JK Communications’ high-performance AP and modem, which outperforms the Japanese competitors’ products. And the ultra-high-definition OLED TV is prepared for the Tokyo Olympics…

Sitting on the living room floor, Yoo-hyun skimmed through the article with the sound of the spinning wheel as the background noise.

He quickly skipped the content he already knew, but the number of comments was appalling.

“How can there be none?”

Despite the products that were worthy of attention, the Japanese reaction was nonexistent.

There were not only no comments, but also no mentions on SNS like Twitter.

Whenever he clicked on a related content, it was all hate comments saying why use Korean stuff.

This way, they would only repeat the same failure.

Yoo-hyun felt anew that the Japanese market was a tilted playground and wondered.

‘By the way, who’s going to Japan?’

Since they officially declared their entry into Japan, the main members of the Innovation Strategy Office and the affiliates’ employees would also move.

Given the product characteristics, there was a possibility that people Yoo-hyun knew would come.

He thought he should call them later, when his phone rang.

Ziiing.

Along with the vibration, Jeong Da-hye’s photo and number popped up on the screen.

At this point of starting the morning, the photo he always saw looked even prettier today.

“You’re late today.”

-I finished work late. I just washed up and lay down.

“Really? I want to lie down next to you.”

-What are you talking about. Then come.

Yoo-hyun immediately answered Jeong Da-hye’s blunt remark.

“Should I fly now?”

-It’s a joke, a joke.

“I’m serious.”

-I know, so don’t come. You haven’t finished your work yet.

“But I can see you for a moment.”

He hadn’t seen Jeong Da-hye, who was in Europe, for a month since he stayed in Japan.

He wanted to see her face and come back for a moment, but he had to postpone it as they agreed to do their best in their positions.

-Ah, stop it. Let’s talk after you finish your work.

“Are you not tired?”

-It’s fun. It’s fun to see the River spreading in Europe.

“There are many countries, so you must have a lot to worry about.”

At this point, there are 28 countries that joined the European Union.

It was realistically impossible to cover them all, so they focused on economically strong countries such as Germany, Britain, France, Spain, and Italy.

They reduced it, but it was a difficult task to respond to different cultures at the same time.

Still, Jeong Da-hye smiled.

-The translation program that Doha made is so good. And the influence of Bago magazine is high in Europe, so it’s easy to expand to other categories.

“Bago is famous in Japan too. Thanks to that, my work went well.”

Yoo-hyun agreed and Jeong Da-hye brought up an old memory.

-I feel it again, but we did well on our European trip.

“Why?”

-If it weren’t for the Channel VIP connections we met then, the work wouldn’t have gone this well.

“Then you made a good bucket list.”

Yoo-hyun made a compliment and Jeong Da-hye chuckled.

-Ah. It’s because Yoo-hyun made a good connection with Laura Parker.

“Let’s just say we met well.”

Yoo-hyun, who laughed, summed up the compliments they exchanged.

Jeong Da-hye also readily agreed.

-That’s nice. Oh, but how did Doha’s work go?

“Doha?”

-You said you were going to meet the NHK station director a while ago. I’m curious about the aftermath.

“Oh, NHK? Well, that’s…”

Just as Jeong Da-hye’s bucket list trip to Europe turned out to be the result of River’s globalization, sometimes unintended results are created contrary to the purpose.

This was the case with Doha’s work.

Doha, who was helping in various ways to persuade Morumoru entertainment magazine editor Shinozaki Minami, happened to face a blackout accident at the NHK station he stopped by.

It was an accident that caused the entire system to stop due to hacking.

When the station director was stomping his feet because he couldn’t broadcast the main live shows, Doha, a hacking expert and IT genius, helped him miraculously.

-We sincerely appreciate your efforts. NHK staff.

He received a plaque of appreciation from the director through that connection, and he was able to win Shinozaki Minami’s heart.

He also received thank-you notes from the idols who appeared on the station.

Among those idols, there was also a representative group of Korea.

-It’s amazing that you made a connection with Lovely Day.

“I know. I had no interest in the entertainment industry, but somehow I became popular.”

-It’s the result of your hard work. But didn’t you hate getting attention, Doha?

“Now I enjoy it. My Japanese skills improve a lot when I talk to many people.”

-Haha. Did your personality change too?

“I know. A lot of things have changed in many ways. Not just Doha, but all of us.”

Things that he couldn’t even imagine a month ago were happening around Yoo-hyun.

‘I started this to persuade the Morumoru editors…’

The work grew like a snowball and led to a complete re-examination of the Japanese River system.

It was the result of understanding the Japanese culture more deeply through the eyes of the Morumoru editors.

The revamped system contained how they gained popularity and what they pursued.
