Dear Comrade Leader Episode 285
interlude. Capitalism will or will not
“Come on, see. First of all, according to our database, the member is 32 years old, 174 tall, has a personal property of 2,000 cash, and a 400 million-dollar rental house located in Songrim City. The car is… … .”
“Ah, I don’t need to say more because I think I’m going to get sad (depression) if I hear it. Modern Sonata 4th generation. It is by no means a car that will leave the hearts of female comrades in the Republic. What will my membership level be?”
Kwon Rim-su, an ordinary office worker in Pyongyang who has turned 30 this year, cut off the conversation with a bit of annoyance when the man in front of him touched his sensitive part.
You have to pay an expensive membership fee and an introduction fee, and at least you shouldn’t be stressed.
However, the man in front of him continued speaking with a modest smile as if it was important from now on.
“Hehe… … member. In fact, what the female members who use our company see in property-related information is, in fact, the proportion of automobiles is not that large.”
“… … Really?”
“It’s not true. In addition, the company you are working for is not a solid mid-sized company that has been generating sales and operating profit after being listed a while ago. … .”
“Girum, what are you procrastinating for?”
“Hehe… … Didn’t you go to the living room? He’s got a good job, he’s tall, and he’s got a good education, but it’s a bit strange that his house is so far from Pyongyang… … Among the female comrades of the fortress, ‘There is no place for people to live outside of Pyongyang. Did you know that the groom is talking in the Sarangbang for Union women, saying, ‘Even if it’s a charter house, you have to have the skills to set up a house in Pyongyang City’?”
“ha… … .”
Also, wait for that.
… … Kwon Rim-soo looked at the man in front of him with dismayed eyes, the so-called ‘matcher’, the main worker of the ‘matchmaking company’, a new company that has been rapidly increasing in the republic for several years.
In fact, these days, the Republic has also been influenced by South Korea, a leader in this field, and used terms such as ‘marriage information company’ or ‘couple manager’ more often than cultural words such as matchmaking companies and matchmakers.
In a nutshell, Kwon Rim-soo was in the process of paying an introduction fee to a marriage information company to find out about his future color and receiving a scheduled consultation.
“What will happen to my membership level in the end? About how many grades can I meet? Please do not hesitate to tell me.”
“Hmm… … According to our internal standards, members like you are mid-sized companies, but the company you are working for is showing growth that can be confirmed by market capitalization, etc. … .”
“… … Just call it a game-making company. What is a direct connected entertainment company?”
“Oh, I got it. In any case, you are currently working as a fixed worker (regular worker) for 4 years at ‘Dog & Pig Games’, a mid-sized game company that is your workplace, and the head office is located on Topje Street in Pyongyang. You also have a living quarters. She is of good height, average in person, no body disease, and no problem with her in-laws, so the female component that we can match for you is… … .”
“The rating is… … ?”
“About 3.5 stars.”
“Grade 3.5?”
He was determined that he would not be disappointed no matter what grade he received, but Kwon Rim-soo could not stop the voice of disappointment coming out of his throat.
Matchmaking agencies usually only match up to 1.5 grades from the top and bottom of the corresponding grade, so isn’t that the story of about the same number of women she can meet?
The staff in front of me seemed to have sensed the customer’s disappointment, and gave additional explanations in a hateful voice, as if there was a reason.
“Level 3 is for office workers at large and state-owned enterprises, and level 4 is for office workers and elementary school teachers at medium-sized enterprises.
“Eigi, is there no way to raise the rank? As soon as possible, before I get any older.”
“Well, there are very few ways to change things like work, let alone grading factors like height and face, in the near future… … . Even if you reduce the number of square meters, how about moving to Pyongyang? Even if it’s a two-room room at the edge of Pyongyang, Pyongyang is Pyongyang, so there’s room for me to lubricate the female comrades… … .”
“… … Who’s here because they don’t know Pyongyang is good? If you eat that much as an introduction fee, you should pay for it!! Who are you making fun of while you clearly know that the price of a house in Pyongyang is going crazy these days!!! This fucking bastard’s money! In this republic, after all, I need his money to hold my wife and children’s hands before becoming a bachelor ghost!”
Unknowingly, Kwon Rim-soo got angry and left the manager, got up from his seat, and hurriedly opened the door that read, ‘Gyeonwoo Weaver Matchmaker – No. 1 company in the republic!’
Today, I paid an annual leave that was difficult to pay for matchmaking (these days, too, the unspoken word ‘matching’ is used more often), but Kwon Rim-soo couldn’t help but get angry at the thought that it was just a feeling.
However, as the saying goes, if you are intelligent, you can find a hole in the electric fences of Gamcheon and Kyohwaso if you look closely.

– Well done, Comrade Kwon. Previously, I had selected and ordered those who needed urgent work from among the computer engineering students of Kim Chaek University of Technology… … As expected, the professional workers in the present job are different no matter what, Girai.
“Wait, wait… … Anyway, you’re doing your best not to be noticed. If that one gets caught, I’ll be tied to the public domain… … Okay. okay. Anyway, if you can do it again next time, please contact me. If you give generously like today, you are always welcome. wait. You just hung up.”
When the thick, low voice of the man from the other side of the phone was cut off, Kwon Rim-soo looked around while sweeping his chest.
It was still early lunchtime (it was only 30 minutes), so even though it was near a smoking area that would normally be crowded with people, I couldn’t see the traces of my fellow workers even after I washed my eyes.
And only after it became clear that there was nothing to be caught, Kwon Rim-soo stomped his foot once and burst into joy.
“Damn it. There is a hole where everyone can survive.”
Kwon Rim-soo murmured as he checked the amount deposited into his account through internet banking from the man who just called.
Obviously, it was the money he earned from his work, and although Dog and Pig Games, where he works, treats the workers like slaves, the account verification is not a violation of the company rules. It was because the money was money earned through illegal (illegal) actions.
“Heh heh heh. Now, if you use this for seed money and fry it in a big bowl, you can find a Jeonse restaurant on Potonggang Street in Pyongyang… … Nodi enters a 70-pyeong living room! It’s not a dream to go to the top of a matchmaking agency and become a candidate for a first-class groom, and to have all kinds of beauties as concubines, regardless of north or south.”
In order to know the secret actions of Kwon Rim-soo, who is already immersed in his imagination, it is necessary to know more specifically about his current job. was a game developer.
And the man who just called was Kwon Rim-soo’s secret side business partner, which is a pioneer in this field similar to a marriage information company, ‘workshop’ in the South Korean language and ‘coal mine’ in the cultural language of the Republic. He was a fist-man running a business called
(In the past, he was a soldier who farted in the People’s Army, but 80% of the republic’s shoulders were ex-military anyway.)
What I did in that ‘coal mine’ was really simple, I put dozens of hundreds of computers in the office, and automatically turned fake accounts and IDs of online games that are popular in North and South Korea, that is, collect expensive items and broker them online. It was sold at the market and turned into cash.
And the role of Kwon Rim-soo in this new coal mine business was to make money by writing software that automatically hunts and collects items for 24 hours, or informs about security holes in the game company’s server.
“You bastards who are game addicts like dogs and pigs. Because I put hundreds of millions of dollars in a piece of computer graphics, Girai and thanks to you guys, my shoulder was opened, but Girai.”
Even his parents’ generation, that is, the people’s generation, Kim Jong-il, wanted something like this to be a mysterious business method.
However, the republic has changed a lot over the past 20 years under the leadership of the general secretary, and in this republic, where even a cell phone was hard to find just 20 years ago, there were a lot of serious game addicts who would sell their organs to get high-quality game items.

Not only online games played on a computer, but also the mobile game market has been greatly activated in response to the current intelligent mobile phone (smartphone) boom from a few years ago when mobile phones became popular.To tell the truth, Dog and Pig Games, in which Kwon Rim-soo is currently in the company, has achieved its current status by developing mobile games that induce crazy cash payments.
According to a rumor inside the company, the founder and current president met with the general secretary in person at an investment consultation meeting of Peony Holdings, a state-owned fund, at the beginning of the business, and begged for investment because the profitability was certain. It is said that
Anyway, in the beginning like this, in passive participation such as leaking server update information, as they spend more and more money and become more daring, it is recommended to design a way to avoid the automatic account detection check and to share the profits as before. Lim’s current situation.
“Heh heh… … After all, this republic is all about money, money! The struggle between the people and the great socialist ideology of President Kim Il-sung will freeze to death… … . In the Republic these days, if you have money, you can buy anything from a woman, isn’t it? No. Abandoning all the gangsters of Joseon who only see this man for money, I went to a foreign country, and I went to a beach in Florida with a blonde and blue-eyed Russian woman… … .”

Now, if you use this money as seed money and call it well, you can say goodbye to the life of a 3.5 grade matchmaker, this damn republic, and the dear comrade general secretary forever and ever.Like that, Kwon Rim-soo did not eat until the lunch break passed and mumbled those words as if memorizing an order. Even after lunch break, he waited for the weekend to come all week.
And as soon as the weekend came to go for the long-awaited ‘Hangtang’, which will finally give him a ticket to both a woman and Tal-Joseon, Kwon Rim-soo drove his modern sonata out of Pyongyang and headed to South Hamgyong Province.
After crossing the republic from east to west, Kwon Rim-su arrived at Hongwon-gun, the most rural village in the mountainous South Hamgyong Province.
“hey! Parking comrade!”
“Oh, I see, comrade! Please take a lot! If you win a lot, please give me a small amount of money… … .”
Kwon Rim-soo didn’t even make eye contact with the parking manager who didn’t want to do anything but went to the ATM first.
After withdrawing all the money, the price of his precious (coal mine) labor, in cash, he took a deep breath and looked at the ‘game room’ standing majestic in front of him.
As a result of devoting all of his youth to running a company that forces overtime like drinking water, he can’t even play with love because he doesn’t even have the expression to eat like a meal. reached up to
However, that does not mean that Kwon Rim-soo, who has liked games since childhood, has completely lost interest in the game itself.
What it meant was that he had discovered an ‘adult game’ that was much more exciting than the average middle school kids or online games that heat up.
In fact, it was because I had been going to this ‘game room’ for several years before Kwon Rim-soo, who was a good employee of Dog and Pig Games, who was a good employee in this recession even though he was overworked, got his hands on illegal acts that could lead to imprisonment as well as dismissal.
Built with the strong insistence of the Taedonggang Gangs, who are the economic growth priorities within the party, and finally allowed to enter the Republic, this grand adult game room consisted of a resort, a hotel, and another building. In fact, 80% of its sales came from Coming out of the last building was a fact everyone knew.
The landmark and the only remaining growth engine in Hongwon-gun, Hamgyeongnam-do, which almost became a village in the aftermath of the real estate crisis from China a few years ago. The sign leading to the game room, which was dragged and used, read:
-We sincerely welcome you to Hongwon Land, the representative shelter of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, a true worker in South Hamgyong Province who leads the healthy play culture of the Republic.
(In casinos, hotels, and resorts, the sale of South Korean lightning bullets and igniting bullets is prohibited due to a series of unfortunate accidents, so please understand.)
