“As Minseo said, it costs a lot of money. So, we plan to raise public funding.”
“Is it public funding?”
“This is an investment-type crowdfunding. It’s a structure where you get a dividend when you make a profit from the cultivation facility.”
“It’s a novel way! So can I invest?”
“Yes, Mr. Minseo can also invest.”
“Then what is the amount Deokmyung is aiming for?”
“It seems difficult to tell the funding target amount here. It’s still in its infancy. But there is one thing I can say for sure.”
“What is it?”
“We plan to recruit young farmers at the same time as funding.”
“Are you talking about people who work in large-scale plantations?”
“you’re right. These are the young farmers who will run the growing facilities.”
“The growing facility is so large that it will need a lot of people.”
“Yes, it will require a lot of manpower.”
“When Mr. Deok-myeong built the facility, the problem of imported agricultural products was not only solved. Is the youth unemployment problem solved at the same time?”
“I don’t think it’s just about solving the youth unemployment problem. It is also a way to solve rural problems that are disappearing due to lack of people.”
“I felt a lot while running this program. The fact that there is a shortage of people in the countryside.”
“I have decided to become a farmer and I have a resolution.”
“Are you sure?”
“I will nurture young farmers and make them rich farmers.”
“If there are more rich farmers, there will be more people in the countryside.”
Geum Min-seo smiled warmly.
she last said
“I hope that Mr. Deokmyeong’s dream will come true.”
“thank you.”
The red light on the camera went out.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Minseo Geum and I removed the pin mic.
Geum Min-seo said in a whisper.
“I hope that Deokmyung’s plan goes as planned. This isn’t a broadcast message, it’s the truth.”
she said looking at me
Then, PD Choi Min-seong suddenly appeared.
“Mr. Deokmyeong, today’s broadcast was very good. I was even moved by the idea of making a rich farmer.”
It was an exaggerated gesture, but it looked cute.
“I think there will be some repercussions when the broadcast goes out. If the viewers want a sequel, do you want to appear?”
PD Choi Min-seong had a different purpose.
I nodded my head lightly.
* * *
After the broadcast, we headed straight to the burials of the farmers in Jirisan.
Today is a day to make important decisions.
The burials of farmers in Jirisan were crowded with people.

Noh Hae-mi looked at me and waved her hand.
“Are you going to the second floor? Can I get you a cup of green tea?”
“Good.”
Unlike the crowded stores, the second floor, where the office is located, was quiet.
There was someone waiting for me in the office.
Han Gi-tak put down his bubble tea cup and asked.
“Did the broadcast go well?”
“Yeah, well done.”
There is a bunch of papers on the desk. It seems they were reviewing the documents before I came.
Haemi Noh came in with a knock.
“Have some green tea.”
He said hello to Noh Hae-mi.
As Noh Hae-mi left, Han Gi-tak opened his mouth.
“In order to do investment-type funding, you must first select an intermediary.”
Han Ki-tak was conducting preliminary research before starting the funding process.
Crowdfunding is largely divided into reward-type and investment-type.
The reward type is funding that does not expect a return. It is a method of sponsoring companies whose ideas are difficult to realize due to lack of funds.

On the other hand, the investment type invests in companies through a brokerage company and receives dividends.
We decided to invest in crowdfunding.
The investment type was able to enlarge the scale compared to the compensation type.
This is because you can receive dividends as opposed to simply sponsoring a reward type.
“Did the brokers recognize you?”
“I found out everything. I’ve narrowed it down to two.”
“What is the business name?”
“Shinhwa funding and venture crowd.”
I pondered for a moment. The companies he chose were all promising crowdfunding companies.
“I think you knew it too, right?”
Han Ki-tak asked with a smile.
As he said, I also did some preliminary research.
I already knew which company was superior.
The two companies he chose will grow into large intermediaries in the future.
Both had strengths.
Shinhwa Funding is currently the largest crowdfunding brokerage.
The venture crowd was smaller than Shinhwa funding, but it was strong against venture companies.
Jirisan farmers are growing into venture companies after the salad container business.

Now, beyond an agricultural company that simply produces and sells agricultural products, it has become an agricultural venture that operates a challenging business based on creative ideas and cutting-edge technology.
“If you were a senior, where would you choose?”
“In terms of scale, Shinhwa funding is better, but I think a venture crowd would be a good fit for us.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My thoughts were the same.
Venture crowd was not only strong against venture companies, but also had strengths in marketing.
The CEO was also a marketer.
“I have the same thoughts as my seniors. I think it would be a good idea to select Venture Crowd as an intermediary.”
“Okay, then the intermediary is resolved. What is the target amount?”
The broadcast did not say the target amount.
It was a matter of careful decision.
We often discussed the target amount with Han Gi-tak.
He was thinking about 5 billion.
Today I had to decide the amount.
“What if it was 10 billion?”
“10 billion?”
Han Ki-tak opened his eyes wide with a shriek.
It was double the amount he thought.
“So much?”
“Honestly, I think that amount is small.”
“Is that less?”
“The more advanced the hydroponic plant, the more money it costs.”
“If you aim for 10 billion as I think, you have to save 8 billion no matter what you do.”
“I know.”
Crowdfunding is invalid if less than 80% of the company’s target amount.
“The decision rests with the CEO.”
Han Ki-tak said as he made eye contact with me.
His eyes twinkled and shone.
“Then, I will set a target amount of 10 billion won.”
“great. Then I’ll get to work.”
“Maybe more than 10 billion won.”
“As you said, I would like to exceed the target amount. Of course we have to be lucky.”
“We have to play with skill, not luck.”
“great. Let’s compete with our skills.”
They plan to build a large-scale cultivation facility by raising money through crowdfunding.
It is not just for the purpose of building cultivation facilities.
It was also an opportunity to inform the people of Jirisan farmers through funding.
This is a great opportunity to show the skills and vision of the farmers in Jirisan.
At the same time as funding, we plan to recruit young farmers.
It’s because it’s too late after all the cultivation facilities are built.
Recruitment and training were required in advance.
They plan to teach everything from vertical cultivation to operating salad containers.
I wanted to nurture young farmers who freely use state-of-the-art facilities.

We started funding with Han Gi-tak.
I spent a week registering with the brokerage and creating the necessary paperwork, etc.
“There is a lot more to prepare than I thought.”
Han Ki-tak looked at the documents and said.
“The larger the amount, the more likely it will be. I expected it to take time.”
There were a lot of things to prepare, such as a plan for funding and an introduction to the company.
“The more thoroughly prepared, the better it will be for us.”
“That’s right, the president.”
Han Ki-tak said with a characteristic smile.
Then, Jang-Woo Lee received a phone call.
“CEO, can I talk to you?”
“Sure.”
His voice was bright. It felt good.
“You should come here.”
“Has the verification work finished already?”
I left my seat and stood up. I remember Lee Jang-woo saying that we can push the time ahead of schedule.
“Come and see, will you?”
He seemed to know just by hearing his voice. It is clear that the facility work has been completed.
“Senior, I’ll go out for a bit.”
“What’s up? Not like you, trembling with fuss.”
“Senior will go with you.”
“me too?”
“Come on, get up.”
“Are you calling Jang Woo?”
“Right.”
Han Ki-tak seemed to have noticed it too.
It changed from the face.
He, too, was hastening his steps.
We rushed to the warehouse to verify vertical cultivation one step at a time.
When I opened the warehouse door, a surprising sight caught my eye.
It is a completed vertical cultivation facility.
Jang-woo Lee, Yo-han Min, and engineers were standing next to the cultivation facility.
Lee Jang-woo said in a loud voice.
“Vertical cultivation succeeded!”
“When did you grow crops?”
“Because Min Yo-han was preparing in advance.”
Also, it’s Min Yo-han. I was working on the seedlings while building the cultivation facility.
I wanted to see the cultivation facility up close.
As Lee Jang-woo said, crops were growing in the cultivation facility.
It is a vertical cultivation facility stacked on top of each other.
I had to raise my head and look up.
It hurts my neck.
It was an unimaginable height when making a salad container.
Jangwoo Lee and the engineers perfectly realized the cultivation facility I envisioned.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han came up to me and said,
“The idea the CEO came up with became the solution for vertical cultivation. It would not have been possible without the CEO’s idea.”
I tapped Min Yo-han on the shoulder.
There was something I wanted to say to everyone here.
“You all did well. I don’t think this is a ball of just one person, but a crystal of everyone’s sweat. Thanks to this, Jirisan farmers have been able to take a bigger leap forward.”
Applause was heard.
Lee Dong-chun was clapping alone. Applause and shouts followed. The warehouse is buzzing.
We celebrated our success together.
“Should we have dinner on a day like today?”
Lee Dong-chun’s voice broke through the applause.
“Absolutely. If you want something to eat, just tell me.”
Everyone had a smile on their face.

Now the verification is over.

Now is the time to get serious about funding.
Rice grows by listening to the footsteps of farmers.
It was when I went to my room after having dinner.
I was looking at the contents related to the funding.

My mother came into the room, calling me in an urgent voice.
“Son, come to the living room.”
“What are you doing?”
“Come and see. Dad is waiting for you too.”
“Your father too?”
I closed my laptop and went out into the living room. There seemed to be nothing special.

My father was watching TV as usual.

My father looked at me and said
“Son, sit here.”
“What are you doing?”
“Coming soon!”
“Coming out, what is coming?”
At the same time as my father said, the advertisement ended and the broadcast came out.
It was ‘Farmer is Hope – Antarctica’.

Minseo Geum and I appeared on the screen.
It was such a busy time that I forgot to pass time after the successful vertical cultivation.
I completely forgot that today is the broadcast day.

Mother said as she set the fruit plate.
“My son is on TV.”
It has been a long time since I watched TV with my family.
I put one side of the cool pear in my mouth. I could feel the sweet and cool taste all over my body.
The parents stared intently at the screen.
