Yoon Sang-deok, who was one of the big players in the black market in his previous life.
Naturally, people like me were unknown people who had only heard of their names and had never seen their faces.
‘Didn’t I say that my younger brother’s name is Seonho?’
Ji Seon-ho.
As Yoon Sang-deok’s right arm, he was known as an excellent hunter.
Also, I’ve never seen a real face.
‘Is this right?’
We do not know what kind of governance structure the black market in previous lives had.
However, what is certain is that Yoon Sang-deok was one of the representatives of the black market.
That is, only one skill is certain.
I don’t know if that skill is political, brain, or brute force.
Since black market traders were selected based on only one’s earnestness, individual qualities tend to fall a lot.
Just like Kim Han-goo, who is greedy for money and has an empty head.
So I was thinking of hiring a smart guy and entrusting it to the management, but in that situation, Sang-deok Yoon is the best.
Skill and trust are two separate issues, but I didn’t choose the black market merchants because I trusted them exceptionally.
They simply created a structure that could not be betrayed and established it.
Of course, if you hire Yoon Sang-deok to take over the operation, you will be given autonomy, so you have to build some trust.
At the same time, I need to roll it so that I don’t think I got this position easily.
Anyway, one last check before that.
“Is your brother’s name Ji Seon-ho?”
Then, Yoon Sang-deok said with a surprised expression.
-uh? I didn’t even tell you my last name, how did you know that? Seonho isn’t even from here, is he?
That’s right.
Yoon Sang-deok, who tried to create his own power just like in his previous life.
But before I could even spread my wings, I got caught in my net.
If so, you should use it very sparingly.
“You can know everything. Information is one of the things I value the most.”
-Oh, I see.
“Anyway, shall we talk about the organization in detail?”
* * *
“It was made by benchmarking the black market point organization.”
-you’re right.
“Then you must have done quite a bit of research on the black market. Are there any pros and cons you felt?”
Yoon-man said with an excited expression.
– There are many advantages. The Snow White Provider is a safe place to make money, and if you add more than 10,000 floor traders plus the messengers who act as links between them, there are thousands of them. Such a large organization is a strength in itself.
Accurate.
I’m sure he’s not the type with a bad brain.
“What about the downsides?”
Then Yoonji hesitates for a moment.
-Uh… that’s a downside.
It seems there is no
“Tell me.”
-···Can I be really honest with you?
“of course. Please rest assured that there will be no harm.”
– What I felt when benchmarking the black market was that… it was too loose.
“Loose?”
The black market, where I am at the top of the snow white supply, is loose?
-Oh, so being loose doesn’t mean the organization is loose. It is not a question of whether betrayal is possible or not. So… the vendors, especially the floor vendors, are treated very well.
Of course it has to be, isn’t it?
That way, the people in the back alleys will work hard to become floor traders.
-I think there is a problem with the structure where, at least, once you become a merchant, you don’t lose your place. This kind of structure inevitably causes merchants to become lax. You have to squeeze it hard. As an errand man until a while ago, whatever I say, I think they should be treated like consumables.
“It’s a consumable item… Then wouldn’t the merchants easily betray them?”
Then Yoon Ji-man said playfully waving his hand.
-That’s it, we can create a structure that doesn’t mind betrayal.
It is not a structure that cannot be betrayed, but a structure that does not mind betrayal.
Thoroughly keep grinding floor merchants with consumables.
Are you okay?
In this way, even if chased, it is much easier to cut them, and at the same time, the upper part of the black market, who has the right to escape their lives, gains more power.
– That’s what I did when I set up a money laundering organization. First, we look for gamblers who have not yet reached the level of bad credit.
“Go ahead.”
-Then you’ll get them a credit card, not a debit card. Then, while generating sales with the credit card, a portion of the money is given to the gambler with a small commission. If so···.
Yoon-man said with a cruel smile.
-The money remains in the gambler’s hands until the credit card is settled.
“Ahh.”
A gambler with cash in hand with a one-month grace period, although it is money to pay for his credit card.
The ending is obvious even if you don’t see it.
– Among them, those who lose control and squander all their money end up with bad credit. After all, the only hole for money to come out is the organization, but the card is blocked, so you can’t work? That’s it. Then I propose to them. Bring in guys like you. Then you can automatically continue branching down.
hey
This guy’s head is also a head, but he’s really merciless.
It is obvious that gamblers have self-control, but using that, they made it into a consumable that can be replaced at any time.
If this organization had not been discovered early, it would never have been found later.
A guy who does anything for profit.
Like it.
This should be enough for Yoon Sang-deok.
“Then what should the black market do?”
– There are many ways. It is not a thorough cash transaction as it is now, but only lower-level merchants trade some of the volume on credit. Of course, you can take it off after that. what is that…
Yoon-man said with a smile.
-Because it is the responsibility of the merchant who supplied it.
Then you take the money and eat it, and if you have a debt, do you change it?
-Or you can organize it like a money laundering organization. It keeps only a certain line of top traders and leaves the rest to virtually free competition. maybe worth a look? A world of weak meat and gluttony, in which we are anxious because we can’t eat each other. The survivors will step on the corpse and climb higher, and the people below will do anything to bring it down. Instead, there are advantages as well. As the water changes frequently, there is an opportunity for advancement in status depending on your efforts.
In the past, to dazzle people in the backstreets, the title was titled that he could earn a lot of money, but now he adds to that and raises his status.
excellent.
Very nice.
“This is the last question. According to my sources, the current owner of the land, Jeong In-su, is planning a large-scale reconstruction. I know the plan also includes the back alleys of the black market. So how do we deal with this?”
Yoon Ji-man, who had been thinking about my words for a while, said.
– I just want to ask you one thing.
“Please speak.”
– Should the response go in the way of accepting or rejecting the reconstruction?
‘This child, you think I am Jeong In-soo.’
A statement that cannot be made without thinking that I have a direct connection with the black market, even if not.
I said holding the mic.
“Jung In-soo has nothing to do with the black market. I just paid rent to Jeong In-soo and rented the land. Speak strictly from the market’s point of view.”
– Well… then it’s the other way around. It is possible that the market that has barely been created may collapse. The traders’ reaction is obvious. But… in the long run, it’s a benefit. If this place is even a little more organized, the number of guests will increase accordingly. The best thing would be to protest first and then come to an agreement on rebuilding a part of the back alley little by little.
I nodded and said.
“All right. Thanks for the good comments. You may go out now. Mr. Yoon Sang-deok.”
-Uh… It’s okay to call me Yoon Ji-man.
“I like the name Yoon Sang-deok more.”
Then Yoon-man said, scratching his head lightly.
-What. It doesn’t really matter though.
I said with a smile.
“I look forward to future performances.”
* * *
Dangjin Dungeon City Redevelopment Plan announced one day.
taken from noblemt l
Most people cheered, but backstreets protested.
taken from noblemt l
Merchants were afraid that the market they had just built would collapse, and ordinary people working in the black market were worried that the rent would increase as a result.
“Let’s hit it moderately.”
I should also put on a show that I have nothing to do with the black market.
After creating a large-scale demonstration of merchants, we should see an agreement in the line of rebuilding little by little by looking at the atmosphere.
Anyway, the redevelopment can be promoted like this… Next is the Jeongin Guild.
“I’m going to go to the second floor soon.”
Busan Dungeon is a three-story dungeon.
Of course, the lower you go, the higher the level and rewards of monsters.
Overseas guilds are coming in, the information is getting loose, and the first floor is getting saturated, so it’s time to attack the second floor in earnest.
The entrance to the second floor has already been discovered a while ago, and the approximate level has been understood to some extent, so it is worth trying.
However, the problem is that it takes a lot of time to get to and from the second floor.
The best thing is to make an outpost at the midway point or at the entrance to the second floor, but unlike other dungeons, the cave terrain makes it difficult to drive a truck.
So, even in previous lives, the cave terrain was one of the areas that guilds were reluctant to.
Of course, my case is a little different.
“It should be used by foreign workers.”
They attach porters to overseas guilds and push them with quantity.
Almost 100 overseas guilds are going to and from the Busan dungeon, and the porters are accompanied by them to carry various supplies and materials to the new outpost to be built.
At the same time, the items hunted by the Jeongin Guild are also brought in through the forward base.
If you make it available to overseas guilds as well, you will not only be able to drive trucks, but will complete a great distribution network.
“great. Let’s do this.”
All preparations are done.
Now all you have to do is wait for it to ripen.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Are you looking forward to it?”
The day that Hunter shook the world.
I stand at the apex of that hunter and control everything.
* * *
Kang In-tae, a merchant in the black market, said to the messenger.
“The quantity ordered here.”
The messenger took the snow white powder and said,
“I’ll pass it on.”
Kang In-tae, who sent the messenger like that, looked at the scenery outside the window with a firm expression and said:
“It’s a black market…”
Kang In-tae, a middle-aged merchant with several merchants.
However, he was actually a person who infiltrated this place with a special purpose.
“It was quite large before, but now…”
About six months ago, money laundering methods became widely known in the market, and the black market has undergone significant changes.
The position of the merchant, who was like an iron rice bowl, was beginning to be threatened.
It used to be a black market that was organized like a rut, but it was released almost freely.
A free market where supply remains the same but anyone wants to sell.
When the situation became like this, new merchants appeared one after another, and the merchants dealt with this situation in various ways.
Some merchants were floor merchants, but switched to delivery business, where they sent errands to deliver directly to their customers.
As a result, credit settlements became popular to provide large-scale financing, and some merchants failed to keep up with the changes.
As a result, the market became increasingly fluid and free of competition, with new people sitting in vacancies, which was welcomed by non-traditional traders.
It’s like a new path has been opened for you to climb.
So the black market has turned into a deeper bog.
Once you step into it, you’ll never get out of it.
“…it has reached a level that can only be called a black market.”
It started with the snow white fruit and was actually a snow white fruit market, but now it has been transformed into a place that handles all illegal goods.
A place where you can get everything from illegal drugs to illegal loans, money laundering, and everything you can’t find outside.
That was the current black market.
“I will definitely uncover the truth.”
The purpose of Kang In-tae’s infiltration is to expose.
Kang In-tae, a former journalist who always looked at this situation with displeasure, thought that the time when the black market was changing rapidly was an opportunity.
Kang In-tae’s purpose was not to make money in the first place, so he attracted merchants with a minimum margin.
“The higher you go, the closer you will be to the truth.”
There is irony that more illegals must be committed to do this, but Kang In-tae is doing everything well to reveal the truth about the black market.
Kang In-tae said with a determined expression on his face.
“It must be successful.”
* * *
Kang In-tae, who supplied snow white fruit as usual.
Then a man came and said,
“hello.”
Kang In-tae turned his head towards the man.
“···who are you?”
The man said, pointing somewhere with a friendly expression on his face.
“I am a business person from that side. I heard rumors that the boss is supplying goods at a low price.”
A market trader with a face you see for the first time.
However, if there are not one or two merchants, and including people who buy small quantities and sell them outside, the number is enormous, so it was not strange that there were unknown faces.
“How much do you need?”
“The more I have, the more I like it. If possible, I would like to be able to do some foreign trade. Roughly···.”
The man counted his fingers and said,
“What you need right now is the entry-level 5kg?”
Kang In-tae said with a surprised expression.
“Are you talking that much?”
“Yes. Is it possible?”
“It is impossible right now. But if you give me time, I will find out.”
If it is 5 kg, it is at least over a billion dollars.
It’s easier to get things than in the past, and the number of merchants is increasing, and now it’s a situation where selling a lot is recognized as a skill.
With this order, it was an achievement that would surely appeal to the superiors who were supplied with the goods.
If you attract more merchants below you and increase sales, you will be able to rise even higher.
“Gosh. If yes, thank you. Then the important thing is the unit price…”
The amount you receive is 18,000 won at today’s market price.
The entry-level model trades at an average of 20,000 won to 21,000 won at the bottom…
Kang In-tae thought for a moment and said.
“I’ll give it to you for 18,300 won.”
Then the man said with a surprised expression.
“Is that true? Is it really cheap?”
“If you order in large quantities, we are offering it at a special price.”
“Then what about the trauma?”
No matter how much it’s for sales, the person you’re seeing today is for the first time.
“We will do the trauma once we have some trust. It is difficult right now.”
“okay? I understand for now.”
The man smiled brightly and said.
“Then I wish you well.”
* * *
Kang In-tae was working as usual, making new business partners.
But suddenly there was a commotion outside.
“There it is! there!”
Kang In-tae, who looked out the window, said with a firm expression.
“Youngsu?”
The messenger he was working on was pointing at someone’s house and guiding them.
And the person who arrived at his house under the guidance of Youngsu…
“police!?”
Kang In-tae is embarrassed by the sudden appearance of the police.
Kang In-tae quickly thought about whether there were any problematic items in the house.
‘no.’
His house was clean because he used a third-party trading place carefully on a regular basis.
thump thump.
“Mr. Kang In-tae. I have been reported Please open the door.”
Kang In-tae opened the door with a calm expression.
“What report did you come to?”
“A report has been received for possession of illegal items. Would you mind if I search for a moment?”
“of course. Come in.”
The police began to search through Kang In-tae’s house.
Kang In-tae said looking at Young-soo, who had been guiding the police.
“Youngsu. Did you report it?”
“········”
Kang In-tae said with a cold expression to Young-su, who kept silence.
“Did you covet my seat? You’ve crossed the line too much this time. You will have to be prepared.”
Although it is infiltrated, to survive in the rough black market, you have to be poisoned.
The threat to Young-su was quite natural.
But then.
“I found it!”
An envelope of white powder lifted by a police officer.
Kang In-tae said with a surprised expression.
“What!?”
It can’t be.
A person who is so thorough that he has never brought snow white fruit into the house he lives in.
But the powder came out of the house?
At that time, the police took the powder and dropped a reagent for identifying my snow-white fruit, and said:
“No response. Isn’t this snow white?”
“What? Then what?”
“Like how it looks… Could this be a drug?”
Then Kang In-tae said in shock.
“Hey, drugs?!”
A drug that wasn’t snow white and that he had never dealt with?
Kang In-tae grabbed Young-soo by the neck and said.
“No, that’s absurd. You put it in!? Did you secretly hide it and report it?”
Youngsu shrugged and said.
“How do I get in? The house of a person who usually cares so much about security.”
“Hey, this. This is the word…”
Then the police came up to Kang In-tae and said,
“We must go together first.”
“I, I am embarrassed!”
You sneaked in to tell the truth, but you got caught as a drug dealer in the wrong way?
Aside from the punishment, this was an unbearable insult to Kang In-tae.
“This is definitely a conspiracy!”
“You go to the bookstore and tell me.”
Kang In-tae, who started arguing with the police.
And there was a man watching Kang In-tae like that from afar.
The man is the person who ordered 5 kg of snow white fruit from Kang In-tae, and a middleman in the black market.
It was Yoon Sang-deok.
Yoon Sang-deok said as he put his index and middle fingers on his head and then removed them.
“Bye-bye”
* * *
“When the police did an investigation, it turned out that he was a former reporter. How did you know?”
– You want to do business at a level that makes no sense. At first, I thought it was a sales method, but even for the first time I met, I was only trying to get a margin of 300 won, so I put my kids together and researched it just in case. Then….
Yoon Ji-man said with a big smile.
-You sneak in and out of one studio every evening. So when I picked it up and went inside, there were piles of data related to our market. So I knew. This little frack.
I said with a satisfied look.
“very good.”
it’s still too
As if to prove his past fame, Yoon Sang-deok showed off his outstanding abilities as soon as he took the seat.
If other top-tier merchants are just mechanically preoccupied with supplying snow white fruit, should it be said that Yoon Sang-deok really feels like a manager?
Unlike his previous life, when he was an unknown existence, Yoon Sang-deok even felt that he had a good view of himself, and was actively making a positive impact on the black market by running and running.
you want me to see
that he is working so hard
“Just do it now.”
-of course!
So I finished the call.
“I sent a scoundrel.”
Now, based on the person’s personal information received from the police, he scoured the area to see if there were any leaks, while putting him in jail.
“It’s been quite some time already.”
The building is going up quickly, and the guilds who entered through contracts are now graduating one by one and returning to their home countries.
One of the latest guilds now is China’s Hwacheon Guild. After a fight with the Chinese government, they compromised to some extent. Eventually, the Hwacheon Guild came to Korea, but it was too late, so I had to stay in Korea longer.
Anyway, the whole world is now starting to attack the C-class dungeon boss in earnest.
And that is…
I said while raising the skill stone.
“The time has come to trade skill stones.”
I said with my eyes shining.
“Now, shall we start catching hogu?”
