Kim Byung-tae’s plan was simple.
Jeong-in development is afraid of guilds leaving, so if an in-person group and a guild join hands, it is clear that they will respond similarly to the Firebird guild.
So, continue to recruit guilds.
Not in order to fulfill a real outpost contract with them, but to induce an overload in the development of Jeongin.
In this way, the development of Jeong-in creates a gap by attracting more than capable guilds to prevent departure, and then interpersonal development strikes.
“… That’s a good way. A very good way.”
Assuming that Kim Byung-tae’s predictions are all correct, there is certainly no more reliable alternative in the current situation.
However, there is only one reason why Jo Han-gil is hesitant.
It was time and pride.
“Jeongin Development has already secured a significant number of high-level forward bases. They also have the know-how and ability to build additional outposts. It takes a considerable amount of time to overload the development of such a personality.”
The problem is that in the process, the interpersonal group has to take the shape of being pushed endlessly.
The contract with the guild was lost again and again by the contracting tribe Jeongin Development.
Of course, this is for the sake of a long-term perspective, but from the outside, it would seem that the ambitious business he started is going to die out one after another.
“ね.”
In the process, the two younger brothers, who are in a tight competition for succession, cannot stand still.
However, if this succeeds, it is the first time that cold water has been poured into the development of Jeongin, which has never failed.
Jo Han-gil, who had been thinking for a long time, said.
“lets do it.”
No matter how much you hate Kim Byung-tae and the tough process, you have to take risks in order to win in the succession competition.
“I have to convince my father first.”
Even if no one else knows that it is not a simple defeat, but a strategic defeat to take one step forward, we need to make it known to Chairman Kang-Ho Cho.
But then.
“Manager!”
An aide entered the office with the door open.
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“Rumors?”
A close friend said with a firm expression on his face.
“The Daein group made an outpost for the Phoenix Guild, but it’s so bad that rumors are circulating that they’re canceling the contract and just using the Jeongin development outpost!”
* * *
There are two ways to separate an incompetent boss and a capable subordinate.
Either boost the subordinate’s abilities, or damage the subordinate’s major.
The method I chose was the latter.
“How disgraceful it is that the guilds were brought in as suggested by Kim Byung-tae, but the disgraceful contract was broken with an insolvent forward base in the world.”
I asked Chang-soo Yeom not to respond to this rumor, and Chang-soo Yeom gladly accepted it as it was not a difficult request.
As he incited that he would even give up the dedicated forward base if he had provided such a poor forward base, rumors spread among the guilds in an instant.
It is easy to instigate, but difficult to prove.
Didn’t this even happen inside the dungeon?
To dispel this stigma, there must be a plausible outpost to be proud of, but does the interpersonal group really have that much power?
Then the secretary came in through the office door and handed me some pictures.
“I made it as you said.”
I took the picture and smiled.
“Well done.”
There were photos taken before destruction when the anti-personnel group was building the outpost.
A crude prefab building on a flimsy iron fence.
But this is not enough.
For the details, I had people create the manipulated photos.
A photo of the inside of the immediate outpost.
These photos show a large gap between the wall and the wall on the floor that is still in the state of the soil because it has not been finished.
I said, handing over the pictures I had originally to the secretary.
“Sprinkle it together.”
“All right.”
A combination of real exterior photos and fabricated interior photos.
The problem is that the interpersonal group has no way of proving that this is manipulation.
Because this outpost has already been smashed.
“Hmm. Are you sure I’m going to tell you nonsense anyway?”
Originally, it was agitation or not.
“Then say that you have charged a large amount of construction cost.”
Proof is not up to me.
It’s enough for me to just fault the building of an in-person group’s outpost and make a difference between the two of them.
“If you sign a contract with an in-person group, you create rumors that you will be caught.”

My secretaries have done similar things countless times.
“All right. I will get started right away.”
The secretary went out with a picture and I looked out the window and said:
“ruler. Are you slowly giving up?”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“If I get more out of control here, I might not come out peacefully like this at that time.”
* * *
“What the hell is this?!”
Fake photos that were spread to the guilds saying they were photos of an outpost made by a group of people because even rumors weren’t enough.
Jo Han-gil said as he hit the table.
“I can’t raise my face because I’m embarrassed!!”
Kim Byung-tae said with a firm expression.
“These are all false rumors made up by Jung In-soo.”
“How are you going to prove that?! Besides these pictures.”
Jo Han-gil gritted his teeth and said.
“Are these pictures really fake?”
taken from noblemt l
Moreover, the problem was that even Jo Han-gil and his aides were doubting the authenticity of the photo.
“Of course. When I asked the hunters who carried out the construction, they said the structure was different… .”
“Then how do you believe that? To those who are mixed up with squash!! did you see it yourself? did you see it! After all, we only got to see it through photos!”
Then Kim Byung-tae bit his lip and said.
“that… .”
“Who knows if these guys did poorly constructed work after blowing up the outpost several times during that time. uh? There’s no one you can trust!”
Jo Han-gil sighed and said.
“ha. These rumors are circulating and I can’t convince my father… .”
Jo Han-gil thought for a moment and said.
“Now the outpost is also the outpost, but the problem is the Hunters who have to work for us. If trust in them is not supported first, neither porridge nor food is possible.”
Then Kim Byung-tae said in an urgent voice.
“It doesn’t matter! You can’t even get them all out anyway! Once you get the guilds in, the story is simple! Even if the Hunters intentionally undertake poor construction, the guilds won’t just look at it! As long as the construction supervisor naturally guilds do it, it doesn’t matter whether there is a banquet or not! Besides, our purpose is not to build a forward base, but to shake up the development of… .”
“So. What kind of guild would sign a contract with us in a situation where rumors like this are plentiful?!”
“do. Even if these rumors spread. That’s why guilds want their own forward base. In the end, if you push ahead as planned, the only disadvantage in the end is the development of Jeongin!”
Then Kim Byung-tae said with his eyes flashing.
“And this could be a good thing.”
“What?”
“The core of the rumors right now is focused only on breaking the contract with the Firebird Guild. In other words, the fact that the Phoenix Guild broke the contract and signed a permanent lease contract with the Jeongin Guild has not yet been announced. You will use this.”
Kim Byung-tae said with a confident expression.
“If you sign a contract with a Daein group, you provide a forward base in Jeongin development. Conversely, if you spread rumors like this, you and I will sign a contract with us to be provided with a forward base for Jeongin development.”
A way to speed up the overload of Jeongin development by making the guilds more aggressively attack.
It is certainly the most effective method at the national level.
However.
“Director Kim.”
“Yes.”
“it’s crazy?”
“Yes?”
“Even if I broke the contract with one of the Phoenix Guilds, this is what it looks like, but now even the rumors aren’t enough, so you want me to even act as a development window for you? Have you ever been bought by your brothers?”
Kim Byung-tae, who said hello then.
‘ah.’
What is important to Jo Han-gil right now is not the group’s future, but the achievements that will make him shine right now.
‘shit.’
I didn’t consider Jo Han-gil’s situation because I thought too much about the company.
“Let me ask you one thing. What is the purpose of your father giving you to me? I know you put it on to help me. But is the purpose of the help the company or me?”
“That, that… Of course, for Executive Director Joe… .”
“You still want me to wear this stigma? Yeah, I know it’s good in the long run. But do you know how much I will be bitten by my brothers in the process?”
Kim Byung-tae, who had been silent for a while, thought.
‘Maybe this is also Jung In-soo’s goal… .’
What makes Jo Han-gil reject Kim Byung-tae’s proposal.
Because Jo Han-gil neglects Kim Byung-tae, it is a fact known to all high-ranking people in the group.
“I… Let’s think about a way.”
* * *
Aides Kim Byung-tae left and gathered in the office.
“Do you have any ideas?”
The entourage who became dumb after eating honey at Jo Han-gil’s words.
Jo Han-gil looked at his aides and said.
“Do you know why I have you by my side?”
“To assist Executive Director Cho… .”
“It is correct. Not for the company, but to assist me. You help me and I will later sit in the chair of the president and hire you. Isn’t that a simple deal? But if I am only being swayed by Director Kim in this way, do I have to keep you by my side? Maybe?”
Aides said with a firm expression on their faces.
“sorry.”
“I’m not saying I’m going to hear you say I’m sorry, aren’t you? Come up with a realistic plan! It’s okay even if your ability is lower than that of Director Kim. It’s okay to have a long-term view!!”
Jo Han-gil gritted his teeth and said.
“Achieving immediate results. It’s about bringing results that will catch your father’s eyes.”
As Jo Han-gil was approaching, an aide carefully raised his hand and said:
“Chief Joe.”
“Please speak.”
“As Director Kim said, the situation that development Jeong In hates the most is that we are pushing ahead with our plans, isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
“But we don’t like it either. If both sides don’t like it, wouldn’t something be reconciled? Or accepting some concessions for the development of Jung-in.”
Then Jo Han-gil said with a warm expression.
“A concession?”
“Yes. You can do this, but if you make some concessions in the development of Jung-in, it will be withdrawn… .”
“Hmm… .”
Jo Han-gil thought for a moment and said.
“I’m proud of myself, but… That’s the most certain thing. But what if development of Jung In refuses? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be like showing only this hand?”
“It is rather the opposite. If development of Jeongin refuses… .”
A close friend said with a smile.
“Because that proves that Director Kim’s guess is wrong.”
Jo Han-gil said with his eyes shining.
“That’s fun.”
If successful, the concession of Jeongin development can be obtained, and this is purely Cho Han-gil’s major.
Conversely, if it fails, it can lead to director Kim’s misjudgment regarding the development of Jung-in.
“good. Contact Jung In-soo and make an appointment.”
* * *
Jo Han-gil suddenly requested a meeting.
I thought that the reason for Jo Han-gil’s request for a meeting was obvious.
A protest against spreading rumors.
Anyway, I wanted to know about the effect of rumors, so I gladly accepted the meeting… .
“Attracting guilds indefinitely… ?”
“you’re right.”
When the story went wrong during the first meeting, Jo Han-gil, who was slanderous, was polite again and continued the story.
“We decided that the purpose of Jungin development was not just money, but the guild itself. So, I decided that the more guilds were actively recruited, the greater the burden would be on the guild.”
Instantly, the spine cools.
‘Exactly.’
I completely understood the reason why I was holding back the inclusion of guilds in person-to-person construction.
‘Is this also Kim Byeong-tae’s idea?’
Did you judge that by just that one meeting?
“However, rumors circulated and it became difficult for me to enter. If I keep losing contracts with the guilds to Jeongin Development in this state, people will drive it to my incompetence.”
I just created and spread false rumors to estrange the relationship between Jo Han-gil and Kim Byung-tae, but an unexpected effect appeared.
‘It was almost dangerous.’
If the guilds were robbed without knowing the intentions of the interpersonal group, there would have been a hole in the forward base network achieved by the development of Jeongin.
Of course, I have not only the transportation team, but also the Snow White Crew and the Monster Arena Hunters, so if I mobilize them and build an aggressive forward base, I can cope much longer and more efficiently than Kim Byeong-tae expected, but other things will be shaken instead.
In other words, I will not be helpless by the plans of the interpersonal group, but I will have to bear some damage.
I said looking into the faces of the interpersonal group in attendance.
“By the way, it seems that Director Kim is not here.”
“Director Kim couldn’t come because of work today.”
“Hmm.”
I said, looking at Jo Han-gil.
“I just want to ask you one thing. The person who initiated the plan is Director Kim Byung-tae, right?”
Jo Han-gil’s expression hardened at the blatant question.
“Is it that important?”
“Not necessarily, but I am curious. Who really judged our development like that?”
Jo Han-gil, who was silent for a moment, said.
“you’re right.”
I learned a lot from that answer.
That Kim Byung-tae is more capable than I expected, and that he does not know or oppose this situation.
‘Kim Byung-tae… It’s more of a thing than I thought.’
There are two countermeasures against such a capable person.
Either make it mine or trample it thoroughly so that it doesn’t come back.
‘Hmm… They say that they are favored by the president, so under the current president system, they will want to remain in the company. But what if Jo Han-gil, who has a bad relationship, becomes president?’
Kim Byung-tae will not be able to maintain his position in the company.
Now let’s scale.
Does Kim Byung-tae have any value to make me into my own person while I put in such an effort?
‘… My future knowledge is limited.’
As the development of Jeongin grows, and the more things happen that I can’t understand, even as an ordinary person, the ability to improvise and make accurate judgments becomes more important.
In that respect, a talented person like Director Kim is a really good thing.
The position within the company is also ambiguous.
If I have to spread these people around me, I will be able to cope with the situation in which future knowledge does not work.
I thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
“Anyway, I was well aware of the group’s plans and circumstances. So you’re saying this because you have something to offer?”
“of course. I need clear results rather than vague things like this.”
There is nothing more important to Jo Han-gil, who is fighting for succession.
“A sure achievement is the supply of dungeon supplies?”
“you’re right. You don’t have to compete with us for bleeding, do you? It all started because Jeongin Development monopolized the goods in the forward base. If we can release this, we won’t have to worry about constructing an outpost.”
As long as I’ve already figured out the interpersonal group’s plans, this plan doesn’t pose much of a threat to me.
If I didn’t know, I would somehow pull out the guilds before the forward base was completed, but if the forward base itself is not the purpose, but to burden the development of the people, just leave it alone and it’s over.
In the end, the Daein group will not be able to fulfill the increased contract and will only ruin their image.
The problem is that this method itself is very simple.
It is a method that can be tried even with any group, not with an interpersonal group.
then… .
“You cannot break the monopoly.”
Jo Han-gil said with a firm expression on my words.
“Are you in denial?”
“no. I would rather make a different suggestion.”
I make the interpersonal group completely on my side.
We will join forces with the Daein group to take over this market early.
He uses the time he has earned to close all the loopholes that the interpersonal group was trying to dig into.
At the same time, I finish everything on the Jo Han-gil line so that Kim Byung-tae doesn’t go wild anymore.
Now is the right time without Kim Byung-tae.
“Instead, we will hand over the entire amount purchased from the outpost to the Daein Group.”
Jo Han-gil opened his eyes wide at my words and said.
“What… .”
“Jeongin development is to see only a certain percentage of the margin of the quantity obtained through the forward base and hand it over to the Daein group, and the Daein group uses that amount to supply it to companies.”
I said, pointing at me with my thumb.
“We are a dungeon.”
He pointed to Johan-gil again with his index finger and said.
“The interpersonal group is Earth. This is how we divide the distribution network.”
“I am attracted, but there is a problem. If we unilaterally cut off supply from Jungin Development after such a complete distribution network has been established, isn’t it only us who suffer?”
“So the contract is important.”
Dungeon supplies?
It is important.
However, the influence within the dungeon is not comparable to that of the dungeon.
“We are going to sign a contract for at least five years and pay a large amount of compensation to the party who violates the contract.”
If I have to make an interpersonal group on my side anyway, I have to do it for sure.
“If this is enough time… Wouldn’t that be enough for Executive Director Cho to ascend to the position of chairman?”
Jo Han-gil said with his eyes shining at my words.
“it… It’s okay.”
“I will help you. As Jo Han-gil and Jeong In-soo, not as a Daein group and Jeong-in development.”
A de facto alliance proposal.
“It’s not company-to-company, but Jo Han-gil and Jeong In-soo.”
“I don’t know if you know, but I have wide feet and I have good intelligence. Maybe they will be of great help to each other?”
“That’s all I know. good. Very good. I feel like I have found a bigger treasure than I thought.”
“Oh, instead, why don’t you make an office next to our headquarters for close cooperation between the two sides? We assign an executive level there, and we discuss various things with us from time to time.”
“Executives?”
“It seems to me that Kim Byung-tae is the perfect director.”
Then, the corner of Jo Han-gil’s lips twitched.
“it… Not a bad idea.”
I put Kim Byung-tae by my side and sympathize slowly.
It would be nice if Jo Han-gil could also put a person who doesn’t want to look bad in a position that is important but where he can’t exert much influence and at the same time separates him from his side.
I said shaking hands with Jo Han-gil.
“I hope to go along well.”
“So do I.”
In this way, an association of interpersonal groups and personal development was formed.
