Everyone has a curious face.
“It is not a vertical cultivation facility. Think of it like a salad container.”
“If it’s similar to a salad container, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yohan said lightly.
“The difference from the salad container is that the outer wall is transparent glass.”
“You mean the exterior walls are made of glass? Then it’s not a container!”
Lee Jang-woo opened his eyes wide and asked.
“That’s right, it’s not a container. It’s not a warehouse like here.”
“Then where are you going to build a cultivation facility?”
“I’m thinking of making it underground.”
“Underground?”
Everyone was surprised at the word underground.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yohan asked.
“Where are you talking about in the basement?”
“I plan to build a hydroponic plant in the subway.”
“Are you in the subway?”
This is a funding strategy that I did not tell the CEO of venture crowd.
I’m thinking of making a hydroponic plant in the subway.
Strategies for Funding
London’s Clapham Commons is one of the busiest underground stations in the UK.
Although it is crowded every day, you can also get a glimpse of the unique scenery.
Crops such as lettuce and wasabi are growing in a state-of-the-art hydroponics facility.
It is a growing facility established by a British agricultural venture.
It’s the first in the world to try.

Of course, it’s not 2009 now. It will happen in a few years.
History is bound to change.
The title of the world’s first will be taken by the farmers of Mt. Jiri.
In addition to the title, the hydroponic cultivation facility built in the subway will be used as a marketing tool for funding.
I explained to my colleagues about the new planting facility to be built.
“The cultivation facility to be built on the subway has a structure that looks inside.”
“I can imagine. It’s a cultivation facility in a show window!”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yohan snapped his fingers and said.
“It is a strategy aimed at the exhibition effect. Even if you see a cultivation facility on TV, it is different from seeing it with your own eyes. Before announcing the funding plan, I want to set up a cultivation facility in the subway station.”
“That’s a good strategy. It would be interesting to build a planting facility in a subway station where a lot of people come and go. It will also help with funding.”
When Min Yo-han finished speaking, Lee Jang-woo spoke as if to himself.
“We will create a cultivation facility inside the subway station… … . Water and electricity will not be a problem, and if you use the one in the subway as a purification facility, it will work. You only need to care about the carbon dioxide concentration. The environment is probably different from the salad container.”
“Light source and temperature management will also be important.”
Lee Jang-woo nodded his head.
He had experience building planting facilities in Antarctica. I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to make a cultivation facility inside a subway station.
Colleagues also accepted the idea of building a hydroponic plant inside a subway station positively.
“It’s not just about showing crops growing.”
“Then what else?”
Lee Dong-chun opened his rabbit’s eyes and asked.
“I plan to distribute the crops I have grown to the citizens.”
“Are you giving it away for free?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han asked with twinkling eyes.
“Yes, I plan to give it out for free. Of course, it is limited to the funding period.”
“Isn’t it just about the facilities?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han asked with a faint smile.
As he said, he doesn’t plan to announce only the cultivation facilities.
I wanted to show you the taste of fresh salad.
It is an event that puts people in line in front of the cultivation facility along with the effect of the exhibition.
“Is that idea great? I can aim for the effect of one stone and two birds!”
Han Ki-tak said as he clapped his knee with the palm of his hand.
“The subway station is going to burst with people.”
Lee Jang-woo said with a smile.
Han Gi-tak responded to his words.
“Maybe you don’t like subway construction?”
“why?”
“It must have been packed with people every day, and there were long lines to get a salad.”
Everyone burst out laughing at Han Gi-tak’s words.
“I’m in favor of this idea, but do you have an area in mind? Not one or two subway stations.”
Han Gi-tak looked at me and asked. All the other co-workers were staring at me.
“I’m thinking in two areas.”
“Two regions?”
“Seoul and Busan.”
Seoul subway has more people than Taoism. world-class.
I wanted to hire one of the regions.
Busan is the second most populous city in Korea.
When we said that we would set up cultivation facilities in two places, Jang-Woo Lee asked.
“I think it would be better to go to Busan rather than Seoul alone. How would you like to form a team?”
“I want you to take over Seoul, Jang-woo.”
“Then what about Busan?”
“I plan to take over Busan.”
“Then what about me?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yohan asked. It is a face that he thought he would be in charge of.
“Mr. Yohan should take care of Hadong. You need someone to see the vertical planting facility.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han nodded his head. He knew how important this place was.
Then Lee Dong-chun tapped Min Yo-han on the shoulder and said.
“Mr. John is here with me. It would be nice to be here with you in many ways.”
“Does your father have to go to Busan with me?”
“Are you from Busan?”
Lee Dong-chun made a surprised expression. I don’t think I ever thought that I would go to Busan.
“We need veteran technicians like you.”
“If the CEO asks us to go, we have to chase after hell. He even gave me a generous bonus.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han and Lee Jang-woo chuckled and laughed.
At first, I was thinking of taking over Seoul. But distance was an issue.
There were things to be done here while the cultivation facility was being built.
As far as Busan, there was no problem.
“Then when do you start working?”
Lee Jang-woo asked when he got up from his seat. ready to work right now.
“It will be done soon. In the meantime, prepare meticulously.”

Han Gi-tak asked when he arrived at the office.
“Did you happen to be cast at the subway station?”
“I haven’t been hired yet. I have to do it from now on.”
“Well, I didn’t have time for that. Can I split the cast between Seoul and Busan?”
“You don’t have to.”
“What does that mean? You’re not saying you’re going to cast both, are you?”
“Are you planning on hiring both places?”
“what? Wouldn’t it be too hard?”
Han Gi-tak looked at me with worried eyes.
“Senior has a lot of work to do other than this.”
“It is not. It’s a situation where people are overflowing with work.”
“I plan to leave the location selection to the venture crowd.”
“This is exactly what I asked the Venture Crowd to do!”
Venture Crowd was not just a funding company.
I was also working on marketing. Venture Crowd maintained a close relationship with the Subway Corporation.
“I have a contract with Venture Crowd, and I plan to visit Seoul sometime soon.”
“The delay in the contract was also planned in advance.”
Han Ki-tak said with a smile.
The subway construction had a public purpose, but it was also a place for profit.
It wasn’t difficult to find a place if you paid for it.

Of course, getting to the place you want is another matter.
It was also about setting up a hydroponics plant.
It was able to meet difficult conditions.
All preparations were required to complete the task.

Venture Crowd was in the middle of Jongno.
I went into a building where several companies were gathered.
He had already made an appointment with the CEO of Daesik Engineering.
At the entrance, there was a man who was visiting Hadong with CEO Daesik Engineering.
He was a man who didn’t say a word in Hadong.
He bowed his head and said hello.
“The representative is waiting for you. Come inside.”
Looking back, it’s a pretty smart image.
The office was as busy as any other company. Everyone was looking at the monitor and concentrating on their work.
Daeshik Engineering welcomed us with both arms raised.
“This time, CEO Kim Deok-myung has come to Seoul.”
“Thanks for visiting Seoul.”
“You’re joking too.”
CEO Daesik Gong said with a smile.
He was a man who seemed full of power with a strong impression.
Today, the golden frames of glasses were exceptionally shining.
Daesik Gong looked at the man who guided me.
The man quietly went out.
He brought up the subject right away.
“I want to tell you about what you asked for at that time.”
“I was also very curious about the president’s request.”
Daeshik Engineering said while raising the glasses frame. Lifting the frames of glasses seemed like a habit.
He seemed a little nervous.
It is yet to sign the contract.
An employee entered the office.
He put down his coffee and left.
“You talk while you eat.”
I took a sip of coffee and continued.
“Before we start funding, we plan to build a new growing facility. It’s kind of an event.”
“An event?”
“It’s a card that will make funding a hit.”
Daesik Kong put down the coffee he was drinking.
He is curious about what kind of strategy it is.
I told him I was planning to build a hydroponic plant in the subway station.
He quietly listened to me.
“I plan to give out salads from the cultivation facilities to the citizens for free.”
I did the same to him as I told my colleagues.
CEO Dae-shik Kong regained a relaxed expression.
“Great idea! I think the CEO would have done well even if he did marketing.”
He said with his eyes twinkling.
“We need space at the subway station. May I ask you to hire me?”
“Any request like that can be covered.”
“I think a station with a large floating population and space for a hydroponic plant would be good.”
I took out the documents I had prepared in advance.
It specified the conditions for entering the hydroponic plant.
Daeshik Kong looked at the documents carefully.
“We will hire you to a place that meets these conditions.”
“thank you.”
“By the way, I was also thinking of the subway.”
“A subway?”
“In recruiting young farmers.”
CEO Daesik Gong said, taking a sip of coffee.
A scene was drawn in a subway station with an advertisement for a hydroponic plant and a recruiting young farmer.
The picture wasn’t bad.
“That’s a good idea. We will bear the cost of marketing.”
“As I said then, we want to recruit young farmers. The cost is just enough for the funding fee.”
“If the president thinks like that, there is nothing we can do.”
After the conversation, the contract was signed.
It is a funding contract with a target amount of 10 billion won.
The period to collect 10 billion won was set at 3 months.
We had to raise more than 80% of our target amount within three months.
Funding begins after the establishment of a cultivation facility in a subway station.
I got up after finishing the contract.
CEO Dae-Sik Kong made a satisfied expression.
The moment he was about to leave the office, Daeshik Engineering opened his mouth.
“Honestly, this is the first time I am looking forward to funding like this one. We will do our best for success.”
* * *
After signing the contract, I went down to Hadong right away.
We’ve only had a meeting in Seoul for about an hour, but it’s already dinner time.
I had an appointment for dinner today.
The meeting place is a famous Hanjeongsik restaurant in Hadong.
A place I’ve been to once before.
I hurriedly entered the reserved room.
The person I was supposed to meet had arrived first.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“I arrived first. It’s not too late, Mr. Deok-myung.”
Kim Chang-dae, former governor of Hadong, said with a generous expression.
“Sit, don’t stand.”
As we sat down, the prepared food was served. A bountiful table was set up quickly.
“I’m living today, so eat as much as you like.”
Kim Chang-dae said in a friendly tone. He was more relaxed than usual.
