Military skeletons are introduced sequentially.
Here, as the Skeleton League is activated and the prize money rises exponentially, players come up with new skeletons and strategic tactics to competitively crush opponents like spears and shields, and come up with another method to crush them again.
“It’s fine.”
Thanks to this, the combat-type algorithm is growing at a very fast rate.
In the military, a military skeleton that combines modern weapons and modern tactics develops, and in the league, strange versions of skeletons that I would not have imagined if I was alone using cold weapons came out.
Now, these skeletons will play the role of special forces in the decisive battle against my undead corps in the future.
The Algorithm of the Seron Undead Corps was created without taking into consideration the opponents with this kind of fighting method.
Of course, the basic specifications are excellent, and it will be possible to cope with it to some extent as it is made in detail so that it can respond to unknown enemies and battles.
But just there.
If it were me, I would have upgraded the perfect countermeasure right away, but the Ceron Undead Corps without the subject of the upgrade will always be unable to perform more than accurately responding to a certain extent.
Then, if you find a gap, you can tenaciously aim for that gap.
Because there is no one like me to fill that gap in the Seron Undead Corps.
“Now I just have to work hard to earn money.”
As such, combat algorithms are developing in various forms as if watching the process of evolution, so all you need is money to support the development.
He poured a lot of money to buy an artificial essence and made an undead with a high specification with that artificial essence.
“Once over 100 trillion…”
And Ceron, who will make that money, currently has close to 10 trillion won in sales per month, exceeding the estimated annual sales of 100 trillion won.
But even this is not enough.
Although it achieved 100 trillion won in sales, this was largely because of the impact of popping in the energy market.
“The outlook for the energy market is good, but the net profit is too low.”
As the business started with emphasis on coexistence with people and the stable supply of horsepower, the sales were high, but the net profit was significantly lower than that of other affiliates.
Although Protege’s net profit is high, power plants that consume the most artificial water purification still have higher production costs than nuclear power plants, so their margins fluctuate around 3%.
Of course, as the sales were high, even 3% was a lot of money, but it was a disappointment.
I said, gazing again.
“Are there any new foods?”
A job where you can earn money and not eat swearing.
But nothing comes to mind.
Almost all industries that have already flown abroad due to expensive labor have already entered the market.
“Should I just work hard or work hard?”
This isn’t a bad method either.
Because Seron continues to grow even now.
Perhaps if I grow my business well now, I will be able to achieve my target amount someday.
“I’m sorry though.”
However, the more you pioneer a new route, the closer you get to your goal.
“What’s wrong?”
Usually, when the Ceron group grows in size, it is common to develop technology and develop into a cutting-edge field.
However, Seron has nothing but a skeleton that has its own technology.
“If you come here and ask the researchers to do research on technology, there is no way you can catch up.”
If so, it’s best to use the Skeleton’s overwhelming labor force.
“Hmm.”
After thinking about it for a while, a news caught my eye on a portal that was floating on the monitor.
“… a total strike by couriers.”
I clicked on the news article as if possessed by something.
“Recently, due to the decrease in the number of workers, the delivery driver is burdened with heavy work …”
After confirming all the contents, I said with my eyes shining.
“Is there a manpower shortage here too?”
Decrease in part-time jobs due to energy purchases.
It was the small business owners who felt the impact the most, but the same was true for industries such as delivery and parcel delivery.
It’s not because people just say that if there’s nothing to do, run delivery.
Because the barriers to entry are so low, delivery is the only way for office workers to work part-time with two jobs.
Delivery also consumes a lot of manpower, such as loading and unloading, but as income is stabilized due to the generalization of energy purchases, fewer people are willing to do this kind of hard work.
“parcel. delivery. Ohh?”
Come to think of it, isn’t the corporate value of US Internet commerce companies in the top five in the world?
So I searched for the company on the Internet and said with a surprised expression.
“Wow. Two thousand?”
The enterprise value of a company that only delivers parcels is 2,000 trillion won.
“Is this money?”
Of course, as Ceron’s net income is low in the energy market, the distribution side’s margin is bound to be small.
However, it is this kind of distribution industry that has a huge effect on sales and at the same time, once you get a seat, you can completely sit down.
So, in Korea, various Internet commerce companies are fighting bloody battles at the cost of losses.
Because an American 2,000-trillion internet commerce company has proven that once you get a seat you can make money.
“Would you like to try this?”
Internet commerce companies competing with each other.
There was also a shortage of manpower at the same time, so it’s perfect for Ceron to enter?
“We’re delivering parcels with a skeleton.”
This is a business that would not have been possible in the past.
When are you making an algorithm that visits numerous houses one by one?
But now it’s different.
Skeleton algorithm technology that has become so common that small businesses are sprayed with Alba skeletons and private skeleton shops and vendors are created all over the country.
Wouldn’t this be good enough to use?
“I think that if we absorb the couriers who are suffering from severe manpower shortage and combine them well with the skeleton, we will be able to solve the manpower shortage and maintain jobs.”
The feeling comes.
this will happen
But there is a problem.
“Just because a skeleton ships it doesn’t mean you get a special experience.”
In the end, the consumer only pays to receive the ordered item, but it doesn’t matter to the consumer whether the delivery was done by the skeleton or the consumer.
Of course, it is possible to use the shortage of manpower as an opportunity to reduce the shipping cost and deliver it at a low price, but the impact is too weak.
I said while checking Korea’s famous Internet commerce website.
“Missile delivery. Midnight delivery.”
And the same goes for other internet commerce companies.
They devise and introduce various methods to promote their own strengths.
“I need something like this. We need a reason to use Ceron’s internet commerce company.”
what’s good
I pondered for a moment, then opened my eyes and said.
“Shall we put them all together?”
If you think about it, these services are eventually maintained by changing personnel.
Of course, as long as there is a limit to the manpower, the scope of service that can be provided is bound to be limited.
But my manpower knows no limits.
“okay. Putting it all together.”
It’s not about delivering at a specific time or anything like that, it’s about delivering the order immediately and within the shortest period of time.
I got up from my seat and said.
“Let’s test it.”
A skeleton carrying a delivery box walks and checks the entrance to an apartment.
After checking the bronze number written on the entrance, the skeleton goes inside and puts down the delivery box according to the lake.
I saw it and smiled brightly.
“Wow, you are good?”
Then Baek Sang-ho said with a confident expression.
“We also display items in the store, but this is not a big deal.”
I thought it would be a lot of work because I had to assign many houses one by one, but the algorithm technology that the research center has accumulated over the years was superior to my expectations.
Instead of creating a movement route to an individual house using the know-how accumulated by creating a customized algorithm for small business owners, the skeleton recognizes the number directly and finds a house that matches the number.
“Chief Baek. Is there any possibility of a courier business using this?”
“of course. The sidewalks are well made and the divisions are hard enough, so it is possible.”
“nice.”
good good
“But there is a problem.”
“Is there a problem?”
“Skeletons can’t drive, they can’t run because they can break goods, so it’s going to require a huge number of skeletons to be effective.”
That’s right.
In the end, you need a base to deliver a skeleton, and if you send a skeleton directly from this base, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.
But it doesn’t matter.
“That’s because the head of Center Paik thought about delivering only skeletons.”
“Yes?”
“As always, Seron values coexistence, right? I will change the very job of couriers.”
“Changing jobs, what is that…”
“From now on, couriers will deliver skeletons rather than deliver goods. It’s kind of like an aircraft carrier. At the base, the delivery drivers load the skeleton with the address entered and the goods, then go to the designated place and open the truck door, and the skeletons deliver the parcel to the designated address.”
This was the coexistence method of the delivery driver and the skeleton I was thinking of.
Taking an apartment complex as an example, when a delivery driver stops a truck in the middle of the apartment complex, the skeletons in the truck are scattered all over and the entire apartment complex is delivered at the same time.
“The skeletons that are delivered like that are returned to the truck. Then the courier takes the skeleton and goes back to the base. In the meantime, at the base, the skeleton and goods are prepared with the next delivery address, and when the courier returns, the new skeleton and goods are put into the truck, and the cycle continues by preparing the next delivery with the returned skeleton.”
In this way, the area that one courier can cover is enormously wide.
Of course, unlike the case of delivering hundreds of articles alone, the delivery speed is overwhelmingly faster by sending them multiple times at the same time.
“If this is the case, I think it will coexist with the delivery drivers. What do you think?”
Baek Sang-ho nodded his head and said.
“You are also the president. My vision was narrow because I was only thinking about doing it all as a skeleton.”
“It can be. Are you holding on to the skeleton all day? Anyway, keep researching. The housing type in Korea is not just apartments. And maybe… we might go overseas with this, so keep that in mind too.”
That’s 2,000 trillion dollars for one American.
How do you get past such a coveted market?
If it succeeds in ranking in Korea, it immediately advances overseas.
“All right. We will proceed with everything in mind.”
I said with a smirk.
“Then the algorithm, please. I now have work to do as a manager.”
“Whoa.”
Formi, a Korean internet commerce company.
It was ranked 7th among Korean Internet commerce companies with annual sales of 3 trillion won, and from the outside, it was a very sound company.
The sales are high and the rankings are high.
But if you look inside, it’s like rags.
The chicken game between companies to claim the throne was truly a fortune teller.
Even so, the margins of distribution companies are very low, but losses are accumulated through various events to attract customers.
Thinking they’ll have it all once they’re seated, they risk huge losses waiting for their competitors to get out first.
“Now… it’s the limit.”
And in this crazy chicken game, Formi, the 7th in the industry, has reached its limit.
Top-ranked companies are actively attracting investment because they look promising, and companies with large companies as their parent companies are also holding on with strong financial support from their parent companies.
However, Formi has grown to this point thanks to various events planned in the beginning that were successful and received investment attraction, but both market share and sales began to decline due to the crazy financial offensive of other companies.
And for an Internet commerce company, it was a death sentence for its share to begin to decline.
In order to rise to the throne, you have to endure the structure of taking a loss to increase your market share, attracting investment using the market share as a bait, and using that money to take a loss again to increase your market share to rise to the throne, but this cycle has collapsed.
“Let’s sell. There is no other way.”
In the end, Formi CEO’s choice was to sell.
It was because the only way to escape from the hellish chicken game was to sell the company before it collapses as the deficit accumulates.
“How much can I get if I sell it?”
In this game of chicken that has no meaning except for the throne, the only value left for Formi, who was eliminated from the game, is market share.
“It will be difficult to exceed 60 billion.”
Even the CEO himself thinks, the value of Formi, which is carrying huge debts and has lost its growth engine, is at most 300 billion won.
Since the company has been attracting investment and handing over the stake, the CEO himself owns 20 percent of the stake.
So, when the total value of Formi was set at 300 billion won, the price of the stake held by the CEO was 60 billion won.
And that’s when it’s maxed out.
“It’s only 60 billion won… You say you’ve worked so hard to earn this?”
It may be a huge amount by the standard of the general public, but for the CEO who directly built a company that generates trillions of sales with his own hands, it was too shabby to say the least.
If Formi had taken the throne, it would have been well over trillions, not 60 billion.
A representative who remembered the efforts he had been making to investors in order to attract investment.
“…But there’s no way. Let’s sell it.”
If the company goes bankrupt, it might become a piece of paper instead of 60 billion won.
That’s when I decided to sell it.
“big. CEO!”
The secretary slammed the door and came in.
“A guest has arrived!”
“Guest?”
From the standpoint of Formi, who desperately needs investment, wealthy customers are always welcome.
“who?”
CEO Formi asked the secretary who he was with high expectations.
However, the name of the person that came out of the secretary’s mouth was a giant that far exceeded the imagination of CEO Formi.
“You are the Chairman of the Ceron Group, Jihyuk Han!”
“under. Chairman Han Ji-hyuk!?”
Although not listed, the Ceron Group is considered one of the 10 largest conglomerates in Korea based on estimated sales.
Han Ji-hyeok, who owns a 100 percent stake in the Ceron Group, was unofficially the richest person in Korea in terms of personal wealth.
And if it is possible to attract such wealthy investments, it would not be a dream to take another leap towards the throne that Formi CEO had dreamed of.
CEO Formi jumped up and said.
“I’ll take you right away… no, I’ll go out on my own.”
CEO Formi ran out like that.
“under. Chairman Han!”
In the eyes of such CEO Formi, Chairman Han Ji-hyuk, whom he had only seen on TV, stands.
“welcome!”
“Yes. nice to meet you This is Han Ji-hyuk.”
“I’ll take you this way!”
The CEO of Formi, who politely served Han Ji-hyeok as the representative office.
“Good company.”
“haha. Is that so?”
The CEO, excited by Han Ji-hyuk’s positive response, started talking about the company.
“With distribution centers all over the country, we provide fast delivery …”
At the CEO’s words, Han Ji-hyeok nodded and gave a smirk.
“It’s fine. With that kind of infrastructure.”
The CEO, who was so excited and explained, said with a sarcastic expression on his face.
“ah. Come to think of it, I wasn’t in a good mood, so I couldn’t even ask what was the reason for your visit. Did you come here for some reason… are you investing?”
Please, the CEO of Formi who looked at Han Ji-hyeok in the hope that it would be an investment proposal.
However, the story that came out of Han Ji-hyuk’s mouth was not an investment proposal.
“ah. It is not an investment.”
The CEO hurriedly said that it was not an investment.
“mind. If you make an investment, I am confident that Formi will become the best Internet commerce company in Korea!”
“Of course, I came here to make Formi the best internet commerce company, but I’m going to do it myself, not the CEO.”
“···Yes?”
“I’m here to make a takeover offer. I think the total value of Formi is 500 billion won. Of course, I am carrying all the debt.”
Although it was not the expected investment proposal, Han Ji-hyeok set the value of Formi almost twice as high as he thought.
The president muttered with a blank expression.
“Then is my stake worth 100 billion won?”
Although it was not the expected investment proposal, for the CEO who was considering selling it for 60 billion won, there was a golden opportunity to escape from this chicken game with a higher amount of money.
But I’m sorry.
‘If Seron is determined and jumped in … the probability of success is high.’
Isn’t it a Ceron that boasts a 100% success rate in business?
Of course, there is bound to be greed.
‘Are you selling half and holding the other half?’
If Ceron jumps in and Formi succeeds in resurrecting and takes the throne, the value of his current stake will increase several times.
When I was thinking about selling the stake like that, Han Ji-hyuk’s CEO cut off his words and said:
“Instead, there are conditions.”
“Conditions?”
“Honestly, in the current Formi situation, 500 billion is an excessive amount. However, the reason for suggesting 500 billion won is simple. I heard that the relationship between the shares in Formi is a bit complicated?”
“It is because we received the investment and distributed the shares.”
Han Ji-hyuk said with a calm expression.
“Take that out. If everyone hands over 100% of Formi’s stake to me at the same time, I’ll buy it under the conditions I just mentioned. But even one refuses? No matter what percentage the stake is, I will not buy it. So, if you want to sell your stake at a high price, convince other investors. Because I’m a 100 percent or not.”
