He has everything from making dried persimmons to squeezing oil. In addition, he had considerable knowledge of hydroponics.
In the salad container class, I received excellent evaluations.
I didn’t mean to put a lot of pressure on him.
“Min Yo-han is the main character, and Hyun-sik is your assistant. We have one more assistant teacher.”
“Is there anyone else besides me?”
“Kim Sang-cheol will also become an assistant teacher.”
“If Sang-cheol hyung does it, I have to do it too.”
Bang Hyunsik said as he made eye contact with me. When I heard the name Kim Sang-cheol, my heart seemed to be at ease.
This project had to catch two rabbits at the same time.
It’s not just about fundraising. Recruiting young farmers was also important.
I asked Kim Chang-dae, and the recruitment of the training site was finished.
It wasn’t the end of the place. I needed someone to educate me.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han could not digest education alone. I am not in a position to be involved in education.
I had Bang Hyun-sik and Kim Sang-cheol in mind.
I wanted to develop them into professionals.
“When you start training, try to reduce your work little by little.”
“Is it because of my health?”
“It is included. But one thing is clear.”
“What is the truth?”
“I need a passionate person like Hyunsik. This project is really important to me.”
In an instant, Bang Hyunsik’s expression changed.
It’s a determined face.
“As your brother said, I will gradually reduce my work. I am also working hard to prepare for education.”
“Thank you for understanding my heart.”
“But are you getting paid?”
He asked with a playful expression.
“It’s because you’re working.”
Bang Hyunsik burst out laughing.
In the sky without a single cloud, there were puffy clouds that looked like people passing by.
It looked similar to Bang Hyun-sik’s smile.

The long-awaited fundraising has begun.
The target amount of 10 billion won was revealed and it was a topic of discussion.
The amount is unprecedented for an agricultural company.
What attracted interest after funding started was the hydroponic cultivation facility installed in the subway.
It is on the rise of real-time search terms every day.
The reason I was interested is because of the salad that is given out for free.
‘Subway free salad’ was the number one search term.
After that, ‘Salad Subway Station’, ‘Salad Type’, ‘Salad Time’, ‘Free Salad Quantity’, etc. are all about events held on the subway.
‘Farmers from Jiri Mountain’ and ’10 billion funding’ were caught together in the related search terms.
This is the flow I wanted.
The subway event went well.
There is a limited number of people who can give the salad free of charge, but it has succeeded in attracting attention.
Daeshik Gong, CEO of Venture Crowd, kept his promise.
Advertisements for recruiting young farmers were placed on subway billboards.
It’s not about being an ordinary farmer growing crops.
This is an advertisement seeking talent to lead the high-tech industry.
It’s so charming that it moves my heart.
The three factors of recruiting young farmers fit into the 10 billion target funding and subway planting facility event.
It’s been about a week since then.
Han Ki-tak came running with a surprised face.
“Deokmyeong-ah, do you know how much money you are raising now?”
he asked, swallowing his saliva.
“how much is it?”
“It’s already over 1 billion.”
“I have collected quite a bit.”
“It’s pretty good, it’s huge.”
We raised 1 billion in one week.
The end of the funding period is three months from now.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Maybe you could reach the target amount before the time limit.
rich man’s heart
I headed to the burials of the Jirisan farmers.
I had an appointment with reporter Bae Seon-ah.
As she entered the store, she waved warmly.
It’s a gorgeous outfit today.
“Shall we go up and talk?”
I led her to the office on the second floor.
As she entered the office, she said as if waiting.
“The funding target has reached 10 billion won!”
“why? Is the amount too small?”
“Mr. Deokmyeong is good at jokes. To be honest, I didn’t expect the amount to be that big.”
Then Haemi Noh entered the office.
Reporter Bae Seon-ah paused for a moment to say something.
“Eat this and talk.”
Hae-mi Noh said while setting bubble tea and yakgwa.
“thanks. I will drink.”

No Hae-mi smiled and went outside.
“Speak slowly as you eat.”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah showed no interest in bubble tea.
She took something out of her bag and looked.
“I waited in line for an hour and only got it.”
She said while holding up the plastic wrapper. This is a salad wrapper distributed free of charge on the subway.
“It was a really clever idea to set up a hydroponic plant at the subway station and give out free salads.”
“Have you tried the salad?”
“I am a bit picky with my taste buds, but it exceeded my expectations. It was surprising to me that we could grow such a fresh salad with hydroponics.”
“That’s fortunate. You even stole the taste of reporter Bae Seon-ah.”
I said with a faint smile.
“Did you know that the free salad ate up all the search terms?”
“Yes, I saw it.”
“I think the event went well.”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah looks excited as if she was the main character of the funding.
I took a sip of the cool bubble tea.
She was also drinking bubble tea to calm her mind.
“Can I ask you a sensitive question?”
“Say anything.”
“I heard that if you don’t raise the target amount, your funding will go to waste, is that right?
“Yes, that’s right. It is a structure to be successful when collecting at least 80% of the target amount.”
“What are you going to do if you don’t succeed?”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah looked directly at my face and asked.
“Nothing is guaranteed to be 100% successful. But I think this will be a success.”
“The reason I’m so proud… … . Are you there?”
“Because we believe that it is a technology that will work in the global market. And this funding also depends on the future of rural areas.”
“The future of rural areas?”
“You know that rural areas are getting older, right? There is no influx of young people. If we continue in this state, the rural areas will perish.”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah nodded her head.
“I want to make this funding successful and breathe new life into the countryside.”
“I didn’t know you would even think like that.”
“It’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since I became a farmer.”
“Can I use that content in the article?”
“of course.”
She also asked about her plans to recruit young farmers.
After the interview, she held out her hand.
“I am confident that I will be successful.”
It was time for reporter Bae to go back and review the documents in the office at the store.
The phone rang.
It’s an unfamiliar number.
“hello?”
“We are taking care of an adult by Byeong-soo Le.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Na Byeong-su is the land owner of the Jirisan Ranch. The person calling was the butler of Na Byung-soo.
“The owner wants to meet Mr. Deokmyeong.”
I couldn’t ask him why. This is because he is just a person who conveys the words of Byung-soo Leah.
Byung-soo Na invited me to my house.
“Then I will see you tonight.”
I hung up the phone and pondered for a moment.
The land issue with him was knotted. Anything else was no problem.
I couldn’t figure out why I was invited to the house.
* * *
That evening, it is the house of Byung-soo Na.
The butler was waiting for me.
“The old man is in the drawing room on the second floor.”
I always met him in the library. It’s the first time we’ve met in the living room.
The butler led me to the drawing room.
Byung-soo Leh was waiting for me in the drawing room.
The figure sitting in the wheelchair was the same as before and now. A face as pale as a blank sheet.
“Long time no see. Sit down.”
Contrary to his pale face, his voice was gentle.
The drawing room on the second floor looked like a place used as a restaurant. There was a large table.
I sat across from him.
“I called you to have dinner together.”
He quietly nodded.
Byung-soo Na gestured to the butler. When the butler left, he opened his mouth.
“Okay, how is the funding going?”
“How do you do that?”
I never imagined that the word funding would come out of his mouth.
I was more curious as to what the intention was.
I simply told a story about funding. Like I told reporter Bae Seon-ah, I didn’t say anything sloppy.
When the fundraising story was over, a knock sounded as if waiting.
The butler opened the door and entered. Behind him was a man who appeared to be a cook.

Na Byeong-soo and I had different menus.
There was a steak in front of me, and porridge was placed in front of Byeong-soo Leah.
The butler finished setting the food and went out.
Byung-soo Leh looked at the steak placed in front of me and said.
“Now I can’t even eat a single piece of meat properly. You can listen to it as much as you like.”
It didn’t seem like a place to just call for dinner.
It was complicated in my head, but I cut the steak without saying a word.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Na Byung-soo seemed to have no appetite. After a few drinks, I put the spoon down.
“Even porridge has become difficult to eat.”
He looked at my face silently.
“I remember the time when you came to rent me the land. I played a prank on you.”
At that time, I took the poison clause and leased the land.
It was because he knew the future of Na Byung-soo. At the last moment of his life, he returned all his wealth to society.
“I thought you were the kind of person I was.”
I put my fork down and made eye contact with him.
“I thought he was a man whose soul was stolen by money like me.”
He smiled hard.
His eyes were sharp, but his voice was calm.
“It was my mistake. I got to know you the second time I saw you. Do you remember what you said to me that day?”
I told him my dream.
About my goals that money can’t buy.
“I knew it when I heard that I would make my dream come true with a lot of people. You are a different person than me.”
Byung-su Na’s electric wheelchair moved with a mechanical sound. he came towards me
“Can I join you in your work?”
The two eyes that were embedded in the pale face were gleaming and shining.
“I am not saying that I am going to participate in the fundraising. That’s up to you to figure out.”
I didn’t take my eyes off his eyes. He said he would help, but there was tension.
Byung-soo Le had a unique ability to make his opponent tense.
“Don’t you need land to build large-scale cultivation facilities? I will lend you the land for free.”
This is an unexpected proposal.
I had to know if it was a poisoned apple. It was said that he returned his fortune to society, but he could not understand his intentions.
Byung-soo Na is an unpredictable character.
“Thank you very much, but may I ask why?”
“After all, you are no ordinary person. You said you were going to lend me the land for free, so I asked why.”
“Nothing is free in this world.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Na Byung-soo chuckled and laughed as if he was in a good mood.
“There are some areas where you and I look alike. I also lived with those words in my mouth.”
he came closer to me And said in a low voice.
“It’s not free, it’s an opportunity.”
I looked straight into his eyes. Oddly enough, I didn’t feel any tension.
“If you dare to tell me why, it’s because I want to make sure what you’re saying is true.”
His wheelchair moved further and further away from me. Soon he returned to his seat.
“I have lived my whole life to make money. With that money, I bought the land like crazy. I didn’t care how others judged me. Because that was my only goal in life.”
He said as if pouring his heart out at once.
“In the end, all that is left is the land. It’s a land you can’t take with you when you die.”
He said with a bitter smile.
For the first time, he felt his heart.
It is the feeling of emptiness at the end of life.
“I want to put the condition that the funding is successful, is that okay?”
“good. We will build a cultivation facility on the land of the elderly by successful funding.”
“You are always confident of success. Where does that confidence come from?”
“It’s belief in yourself.”
