Is this a Honda?" "It's not Honda, it's Hyundai." "Hyundai? I've never heard of that name... Is it a Honda knockoff?" "No way... It's the most successful car company in Korea." "Pfft... Does Korea even make cars? Why did you buy a car made by such an unknown company?" "I bought it because it was cheap, I guess... Aren't I a pragmatic person?... Whether it's a Honda or a Hyundai, as long as the car runs well, that's all that matters. Why should it be expensive?" A week later.... "Hey... How did you get the car and take a taxi home?" "It broke down, so I left it at the repair shop... If I fix this, that breaks, and if I fix that, this breaks. I mean... it looks like the repair costs are going to exceed the price of the car. I'm never buying a Korean car again!" That was roughly the atmosphere. However... These days, Hyundai Motor Group ranks third in global car sales, following Japan's Toyota and Germany's Volkswagen. Even more surprising is its profitability. By 2025, Hyundai Motor Group recorded the world's second-highest operating profit, surpassing the Volkswagen Group. Honda is ranked around 7th or 8th, and is no longer a match for Hyundai. How was this possible? The story of Hyundai Motor begins, of course, with Chairman Chung Ju-yung. In the 1930s, a young Chung Ju-yung worked at a rice shop (Bokheung Sanghoe) in Seoul. There, he delivered rice, dealt with customers, kept ledgers, and learned how money circulates and how credit is built. The young Chung Ju-yung worked incredibly hard. He worked not merely to receive a salary, but with the mindset that "this rice shop is my shop." He couldn't help but catch the boss's eye. "Look, Ju-yung... I'm not feeling well, so I'm thinking of closing this shop... But no matter how much I think about it, there is no one who can lead this shop as well as you... Do you have any interest in running this store?" And so, Chung Ju-yung took over the rice shop and established Kyungil Sanghoe. However... As Imperial Japan, having launched the Sino-Japanese War (1937) and the Pacific War (1941), faced shortages of war materials and food, it implemented the Joseon Rice Control Order (1939), forcibly seizing and rationing rice produced in Joseon. The buying and selling of rice in the market was completely banned, and all rice distribution came under Japanese control. The rice shop had no choice but to close its doors. At this point, I am reminded of the owner who handed over the rice shop. Did he perhaps anticipate this when he sold the store? In any case, Chung Ju-yung became unemployed overnight. Then... "Try car maintenance! The number of cars has increased tremendously these days, so there are countless repair jobs. If you just set up the shop, you'll be raking in the money." "Car maintenance? I don't know anything about cars." "You just need to manage the business well, and you can leave the repairs to the technicians, right?" "That's right...! Let's give it a try!" The car repair shop hit the jackpot. Broken cars just kept pouring in one after another. Cash piled up day after day. The staff reached as many as 80 people. But... A fire broke out. The repair shop burned down, and the cars entrusted to it burned as well. The repair shop was home to the cars of the most prominent people of that time. At the time, the car of the Chief of Police of the Japanese Government-General of Korea and the car of Park Heung-sik, the president of Hwashin Department Store, were also burned down. As a result, he found himself in a situation where he had to pay for all of their cars. "I apologize. I don't have the money right now. But if you give me just a little time, I will definitely pay you back the cost of the cars, even if I have to borrow some." "Well, you can take your time paying it back. Our Hwashin Department Store was once completely destroyed by fire, but we succeeded in rebuilding it just to show you... Cheer up, President Jeong!" President Jeong went around borrowing money. But... "Just pay back the money you borrowed quickly... I've never lent money and been cheated out of it, but because of you, my record is about to be tarnished!" "That record... if I pay it back, won't the blemish remain? If you trust me and lend it to me just one more time, I will earn money and definitely pay it back." "Hearing that, you have a point... I will do it!" President Jeong reopened his repair shop in a small vacant lot in Sinseol-dong and, with his characteristic diligence, paid back all the money he had borrowed. However... External forces were unavoidable. #Hyundai #Automobil...
