The Hwacheon Guild, which was pumped up by me and escalated, officially began to speak out to the Chinese government.
They said that they would enter Korea on behalf of the Eight Dragons Guild, as they finished individual negotiations with Jeongin development.
What… It was just pumped up, was it even worth negotiating?
At the same time, the Hwacheon Guild began to criticize what the Eight Dragons Guild did in Korea, calling it a national disgrace.
“It’s okay.”
It is a wise decision.
Since you can’t directly undermine the Chinese government, how to get the Chinese government to take action by criticizing the Eight Dragons Guild.
The opponent, however, was the Chinese government.
While controlling the media, the Chinese government did not give the Hwacheon Guild a cool answer by repeating that the government was negotiating with the development of Jeongin.
Then the Hwacheon Guild attracted other guilds this time.
They formed a kind of coalition asking for their support, as they would actively share information when they get it.
The Hwacheon Guild and the Chinese government entered into a power struggle in earnest.
Originally, the Chinese government had an overwhelming advantage.
There are guilds that they own, and from the beginning, the power of the Chinese government was absolute within China.
The problem is that all of the guilds they have are secret guilds, so there is no reason to block the Hwacheon Guild.
Therefore, the Hwacheon Guild can freely voice its voice to the Chinese government.
The cause of the Hwacheon Guild was that they would come to get information, restore the national prestige dropped by the Eight Dragons, and devote themselves to the country, but the Chinese government is bound to suffer.
Thanks to this, I received protests from the Chinese ambassador for why I talked to the Hwacheon Guild about things that were not agreed upon, but it was me who shrugged and ignored it, saying that I chose the Hwacheon Guild and that the two sides must coordinate whether the Hwacheon Guild will join or not. you’re done
“Fight hard. I will do my thing.”
Now that I have cleared up China, which was a headache, it’s time to focus on my main job.
“The slime slime factory is steady… .”
The slime slime processing market split in two after killing all competitors in partnership with MG.
When the contract period was over and profitability was slightly normalized, it was serving as a solid cash cow.
Especially, because it is clean money, not black money, its value shines even more.
A sudden rise in unit price tends to become a target for the media, and excessive returns inevitably create new competitors.
That’s why we’re adjusting the unit price little by little, so after a few more years, we’ll make more money.
“Except for the casino, the rest is completely in place.”
Except for the Gangneung Casino Complex Resort, which is still under construction, slime, construction, and investment companies in the Yangji area were generating sales fairly steadily, and in the shade area, the mass-produced snow white fruit was recording huge sales.
Roughly summing up the sun and shade, it is at the level of looking at 2 trillion won in net income, not sales, exceeding 1 trillion won a year.
Although the sales volume itself is not comparable to that of the chaebol, it was possible to make a net profit because it mainly focused on highly profitable businesses.
Of course, most of the revenue was generated in the shade, so it was money that could not be used arbitrarily.
However, there were places that boasted higher returns than all of these combined.
It was Dangjin Dungeon City itself.
“The price of land has gone up a lot.”
Awakening probability increased sharply after the appearance of the C-class dungeon.
Thanks to this, the new hunters increased more than four times compared to the previous year, and they were sprouting up like bamboo shoots.
And it was Dangjin Dungeon City that benefited the most.
As an F-class dungeon, it is perfect for new hunters to work, and the vacant vacancies are huge due to indiscriminate development, and the infrastructure optimized for hunters such as academy, equipment rental, etc.
Dangjin Dungeon City absorbed these new hunters indiscriminately, and a large number of new merchants followed these hunters, and now Dangjin Dungeon City has grown to a level where it is safe to call it a real city.
Thanks to this, land prices, which had stagnated, start to march high again, and I am just sitting and earning money.
“Is that why you don’t do business and buy land?”
The return on land in Dangjin, which was initially invested only a few hundred million won, is far more overwhelming than the businesses built by spending a lot of money.
Now, this is a large-scale investment, and if a dungeon is created in the land you bought here and there, your profits will be booming again.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“It’s good, it’s good.”
As the size of the city grows, the construction of infrastructure such as a formal police station and a school is planned in the near future through consultation with the city.
Anyway, the police station will be filled with the cops I bought, so in this city, my words are the law.
“Hmm… .”
I said with a smile.
“Would you like to start redevelopment soon?”
In the past, small buildings were laid to fill the land that was a paddy field, but now is the time to focus on quality rather than quantity.
As the business went smoothly, the ammunition was well filled, and the land price in Dangjin city rose, I got a loan based on this and pushed out the two-story mini buildings that were built on Jungang-daero in the early days, and the buildings that are at least 5 stories high and up to 10 stories high are straightened up.
“From now on, Hunters will continue to pour in. So, you have to prepare in advance.”
No matter how good the high-ranking hunters get and sell them at a high price, from the point of view of a businessman, in the end, the money is the majority of the middle class, not the few wealthy.
Even as time goes by, the proportion of F-class hunters will be overwhelming, and those F-class hunters are the foundation of this Dangjin Dungeon City.
But there is one problem.
“… What about containers?”
A densely populated container house, the base of the black market.

My precious buildings that once filled this empty field with confidence, but now their value is the base of the black market, nothing more and nothing less.
“Would you like to touch up there too?”
Can’t we just take out part of the container house, put a new building on it, and let it be used?
“Hmm… Would you like to hear the story first?”

Meetings that are normally only exchanged over the phone, but are held regularly once a month in a secret place.
The participants of this meeting were the five merchants who made up the top tier of the black market and were the only ones who had direct contact with me.
“With the advent of the popular Snow White fruit, our customer base has become increasingly diversified, resulting in a significant increase in sales.”
The price is only one tenth, but the production output is 100 times superior to the entry-level snow white fruit.
“The market vendors will love it.”
A merchant nodded at my words and said.
“Yes. Now, merchants who only deal with the entry-level snow white fruit have emerged.”
“How many people are on the floor right now?”
When asked how many merchants face their customers, a merchant said:
“I have about 180 people.”
“We have 190 people.”
Since each is operated as a separate organization, the merchants do not know each other’s size, members, and the structure of the store organization.
But then.
“We have 290 people.”
At those words, the eyes of the other merchants widened.
“290 people?!”
“So much?”
No matter how much the quantity has increased, in the end, the one who supplies this floor is the king.
However, as merchants gradually gained regulars and established themselves with sales power, their value reached a level that could not be ignored.
In the past, it was enough to just cut off the supply and put someone new in.
After all, the market was in its infancy, and the key point was whether customers were able to purchase goods before or not, whether they were the same merchant or not.
However, now that the quantity is supplied in sufficient quantity and that snow white fruit can be obtained stably from any merchant, customers have gradually become regulars who deal only with certain merchants.
The reason was simple.
Because Snow White is illegal.
You trade with this merchant and that merchant, and if any one of them is caught, you can get entangled, so make sure to trade with one person as safely as possible, even if you lose a little in price.
It was a unique black market scene that was different from the general market where people poked around and bargained for cheap products.
And when these regulars became fixed, the value of this floor merchant changed depending on how many regulars they had.
By the way, you have secured 290 such merchants.
“Have you ever received a large number of new hires?”
An overwhelming number beyond the margin of error.
Of course, I asked if the number had been increased without any qualitative change, but, strangely, another merchant answered on his behalf.
“… It will not be.”
“Hmm?”
“Recently, the traders say there has been a lot of churn… Did I go to you?”
Then the merchant, who had secured 290 people, shrugged and said:
“What. You know you’ll come, but there’s no reason to stop, right? For me, the more, the better.”
“shit.”
Said floor merchants switched supply lines from one side to the other.
It is absolutely forbidden for point organization middlemen to change lines.
They are the backbone of the organization.
But he’s really close to a salesman who doesn’t know anything about the floor trader, so he left the simple transfer rather than crashing and swapping for the sake of mutual competition, and this trader probably absorbed the floor trades of other merchants.
“… We weren’t the only ones missing.”
“me too.”
However, it seemed that this merchant was not the only floor merchant who changed the supply line.
The floor merchants of other merchants were concentrated on one line… .
Any change beyond the margin of error must have a reason.
“Is there any special way?”
Then the merchant glanced at the other merchants and said,
“ah. A little bit to say here… .”
They are comrades, but at the same time competitors.
You can’t reveal your know-how in front of your competitors.
I was going to talk about the redevelopment of the black market, but for now, I have to put it off until later.
“Everyone, go back to work. Today’s meeting is over.”
The merchants who had been seated with curious expressions got up with their mouth watering.
“What the hell did you use?”
“I don’t know either.”
Having sent all the other merchants out, I looked at the merchant and said:
“Now tell me.”
“I have a very bright friend under me. Of course, he doesn’t even know my face, but anyway, this guy does a really good job.”
“How do you do business?”
“It launders merchants’ money. Instead, you tell yourself to change the line.”
I said with a surprised look.
“You mean to launder money?”
Black market traders make a lot of money.
That’s why people flock to the back alleys.
However, black market merchants are wealthy, but at the same time cannot lead a life like ordinary people.
The reason is simple.
Because most of their profits are black money obtained through illegal means.
Therefore, most of the black market merchants carried cash, and even though they made a lot of money, there were many people who could not escape from bad credit.
In terms of tax law, their income is virtually zero.
But suddenly you make a credit card and spend a lot of money?
This is no different from telling the National Tax Service to catch me.
But what about laundering the money of such merchants?
“How do you do the laundry?”
“Well… .”
The merchant said with a puzzled expression.
“That’s true… I don’t know how.”
“I don’t know how.”
“Yes. Because he never told anyone.”
As the merchant says, you are smart.
That money laundering method is your competitive edge, and it is foolish to disclose it carelessly.
“Oh.”
this is fun
need to investigate.
If you are laundering money in a clumsy way, there is a high probability that it will become a problem in the future.
“How many levels are you a trader?”
The current black market point organization consisted of a pyramid structure of five levels, from the floor merchant to me.
“that is… Step four.”
So you’re saying it’s right above the floor merchant?
Usually, tier 4 traders have 10 floor traders.
But, if we had done business to such a degree that there was such a difference… .
“We have secured 70 merchants below.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“That’s great.”
I’m curious.
I want to meet you.
I thought for a while and said.
“I will see you once. You may be doing something dangerous.”
“Are you sure you want to meet in person?”
“Is it possible? I’ll send you the address and date. Tell him to come over there.”
* * *
After checking the CCTV and microphone voice modulation, I waited for the smart person to appear.
“My name is Kim Han-goo. I am 42 years old.”
It was a merchant who entered the market when snow white fruit had just begun to be distributed.
So, I’m guessing you’re a tier 4 trader.
In any case, the sales force was definitely good, and although it was quite successful from the beginning, Kim Han-goo, a merchant who has emerged more prominently in recent years.
how long have you waited
Two men appeared on CCTV filming outside the building.
One of them is Kim Han-goo.
Kim Han-gu, who arrived in front of the building, gave instructions to the other man and began to enter the building.
So Kim Han-gu finally entered the room at the address I gave him.
I said into the microphone.
“Sit down on your chair.”
Hearing my altered voice, Kim Han-gu sat down on a chair with a very nervous expression and said,
-ah. hello. My name is Kim Han-goo.
“Nice to meet you. Well… Just call me president.”
-Yes. President.
I took a rough look at Kim Han-gu’s attire.
The entire clothes they wear are luxury goods, as if they made a lot of money by attracting merchants.
“I heard that you have a very good sales force.”
-no. I was lucky.
“There are too many stories I’ve heard about to dismiss it as luck. You say merchants do money laundering?”
Kim Han-gu was startled by my words and said,
– Oh, yes. That’s right.
“How are you laundering money? oh If you think that information will be leaked, you do not have to worry. I’m just asking because I’m wondering if I’m doing anything dangerous. If it’s a good way in my opinion, I’ll just go quietly.”
Then, Kim Han-goo was a little perplexed and said,
-that… that is… .
Kim Han-goo is hesitant about something.
Are you doing something really dangerous?
“Please speak. Just in case, I am a person who has the power to completely cut off the supply of snow white fruit.”
Kim Han-goo said when he gave a stern warning that the supply might be cut off.
– Come on, wait a minute. Please wait a minute!
At best, the situation in which you may lose all the merchants who worked hard.
Of course, I have no choice but to say
By the way.
– Can’t you just give me one day?
“… … ?”
You want one day to end?
What does that mean?
“Because I am not that kind of person. This position was also difficult. Just say it now.”
– There is a real reason. Just one day. day!
Hmm… .
“If you’re thinking of doing something stupid, you better give up.”
– I, absolutely not! Trust me! I have bad credit, how can I live away from here!
I thought for a while and said.
“good. I’ll give you just one day. You can go out.”
At my words, Kim Han-gu got up from his seat and bowed his back.
– Go, thank you! thank you!
I muttered as I watched Kim Han-gu leave the room.
“what? One day?”
As Kim Han-goo said, Kim Han-goo is a person who has nothing he can do once he leaves this place.
I don’t think I’m going to do anything stupid, but since you don’t know what people’s business is.
As I left the room, the merchant who informed me of Kim Han-gu was waiting.
“Did you have a good conversation?”
“It’s different at the end of the day. Just in case you don’t know, put someone there.”
“All right. We will monitor you 24 hours a day.”
So, after ordering the surveillance, I came out and said with a smile.
“I wish it was a very novel method.”
I’ll use some too.
