The resistance of the merchants against the redevelopment suddenly disappeared.
no.
To be precise, should I say that the merchants themselves disappeared?
The top-level merchants, who were noticing, finally made a decision as they penetrated higher and higher through the pressure of the container house demolition and reconstruction, and the prosecution investigation.
Top-level merchants who disappeared at some point with their own line of organization.
“How are you all doing?”
At my words, Yoon Sang-deok looked at the documents and said.
“We are trying different things. We do business using the Internet and messengers, or we sell them secretly with plausible signboards.”
The situation is clearly different from the past when I was doing business safely under my protection in Dangjin.
Each organization tries various methods according to their own circumstances and spreads across the country.
“It’s a mess. But for something like that, it seems like business is going well?”
If you look at the amount of smuggling fruit that they are supplying, organizations are digesting a fairly large amount, if not worse than before.
Considering that he hadn’t fully settled in yet, he was at a very good level.
“It’s not where the regulars go.”
“Well, it would be worth it if we sold it only to the original customers.”
Although I have escaped from my umbrella, I have established a sales channel based on the regulars I have and are gradually settling down.
“I like it.”
After a while anyway, everything will be mine.
They say that they will expand the market to the whole country on their own and go through trial and error, but I am welcome.
“Did you get the location?”
Naturally, what I was referring to was the location of the top-level merchants who lead each organization.
In the first place, floor merchants have no information and are practically nothing more than a shield working at the forefront, so it is meaningless to touch them.
Even the top merchants knew that, so they hid themselves first and brought the bottom merchants to the fore.
“… Those two missed.”
As he deliberately induced this situation to happen, of course, even though he had assigned people to monitor the top merchants in advance, he missed two.
“Ohh?”
“How thoroughly prepared, the kids failed to track them down… sorry.”
I said with a smile.
“It’s okay, haha. You roughly expected it, didn’t you?”
Still, they are the top-level merchants who were secretly behind hundreds of merchants as black market tycoons.
It’s never been easier to find something that’s been hidden by making a purposeful hideout.
“How thoroughly prepared you were to betray me and not anyone else. It’s rather peculiar. I feel like I have learned a lot.”
With a floor trader, he completely hides under the surface of the water.
Just like the way I’ve been building the black market.
However.
“Of course, even if it is, it is in the palm of the Buddha’s hand.”
In the end, nothing has changed.
The supply line is still there and the organizations are just scattered across the country beyond Dangjin.
“How about Mr. Sangdeok’s line?”
“A lot of our kids are gone. Especially since a few merchants just below me picked up their lines and attached themselves to other organizations… .”
Each organization of the black market, which was structured like a pyramid with me as the apex, is now being scattered and reorganized.
“Still, it would be comforting to have the children I have personally managed remain until the end.”
“Isn’t Sang-deok secretly speaking out?”
Yoon Sang-deok hurriedly shook his head at my words and said.
“Is that possible! These are the kids I’ve been bringing with me since the beginning, but not to the point of breaking the president’s instructions!”
“okay? Then I’m happy.”
I said raising my phone.
“Anyway, thanks to the vacancy, the redevelopment will go smoothly and it is perfect in many ways.”
I make the top merchants spread new sales channels all over the country, and then I eat them all over again.
At the same time, I lower the mace to those who betrayed me.
Some might say I’m too cruel.
It’s literally pushing them to the edge of the brink, inducing inevitable choices, and then taking everything as an excuse.
But those are the people I need.
People who honestly believe and follow my words despite being pushed to the end of the cliff.
I said raising my phone.
“Now, shall we hear what the traitors say?”
I looked in my address book and called someone.
-… President.
“Five? Did you get it sooner than expected?”
It was Lim Jun-gi, one of the top merchants.
“Jun-gi, didn’t I tell you to be patient?”
-… sorry.
“You know I didn’t mean it because I wanted to hear you say I’m sorry.”
– I also wanted to live.
Lim’s words with many implications.
“Why did you betray me?”
– It’s not a betrayal. Just struggling to survive.
“Isn’t that what it is?”
-different. If it wasn’t for this situation, I would never have done something like this. I felt a sense of crisis. A sense of crisis that everything could end as it was abandoned like this. If the president had been a little more considerate, this would never have happened.
Lim Joon-gi who blames everything on me.
Actually, that’s not true.
But did he really do this out of a sense of crisis?
“Are you really thinking I’m going to beat the black market and all the merchants? Yes. You might think so. But is that really all?”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Aren’t you greedy?”
-… … .
After being silent for a while, Lim Jun-gi said.
– I don’t ask for much.
“Hmm?”
– I will never reveal the identity of the president to anyone. As it was in the past and so in the future. I will take this with me to the grave. So please don’t touch it.
“Please don’t touch me… So, if I touch you, you’re going to say something?”
– I’m just asking you.
“Mr. Jungi. I’m never one to let go of what’s in my hands. The same goes for the black market. There are no lies in what I said to Jun-gi. Because I was really on time and was going to fix everything. In that sense, I will give you one last chance.”
I said with a casual expression.
“Come back. Then I’ll see you this time. As the situation is the situation.”
Of course it’s a lie.
Because I am not the one who will trust the person who has already betrayed me again.
Nevertheless, I said this to make them misunderstood.
To make them think that they ran out of their own will, not mine.
-If you wish, we can sell the chairman’s stock as well. But you’ve come too far to go back.
Oh my gosh.
I got out of my arms and my liver was swollen.
can you sell it?
– Leave me alone. I will live quietly. like a dead mouse.
“Is that Jungi’s judgment? Betraying me and walking the reader’s path?”
– It’s not a betrayal. I have no intention of being hostile to the President. Just open your breath. Then I will be satisfied with it and live with it.
“It’s a breath… I do not know. Like I said before, I’m not the type of person to easily let go of what’s in my hands. Jun-gi, just know that.”
I said with a cold expression.
“Being independent means taking responsibility for yourself. You better be prepared.”
After the call, I looked at Yoon Sang-deok and said.
“Is the list ready?”
“of course.”
By mobilizing foreign hunters, they contacted several merchants from floor merchants to middle merchants at the same time.
And in the process, only the merchants who strictly complied with the black market’s iron rule of prohibiting the handling of external snow white fruit were listed.
Although most of them followed the orders of the top merchants, they only followed the orders of the superiors, so you should give them extra points.
“If I give orders, we will contact them all and get them back to us.”
I said with a bright smile.
“You have listened to me, so I should give you a reward.”

The black market and back alleys were organized in an instant with everyone’s interests intertwined.
The government began to publicize the disappearance of the black market, which had always been criticized by people.
“This is just the beginning.”
Cho Man-cheol, chief of staff, who attended the ceremony for the redevelopment plan in Dangjin, told reporters.
“The government will continue to take a decisive action against criminal acts and put the safety of the people first. thank you.”
After finishing the speech, Jo Man-cheol came down from the stage and said to me.
“Thank you, CEO Jung.”
“It was nothing.”
First of all, this is a show.
The government promotes the disappearance of the black market as an excuse, and I use that as an excuse to not only crack down on the inside but also to expand the sales channels nationwide.
“By the way, did you really end the relationship completely?”
At Jo Man-cheol’s words, I shrugged and said.
“As I’ve always said, I have nothing to do with the black market. I am just the owner of the building.”
“… Is that so?”
“Of course, this is not the answer that Director Cho wanted. Let me be honest. It is true that the black market was deliberately neglected. Because I decided that it would be helpful for the business. In fact, the existence of the black market has also benefited a lot. But not now.”
I looked at the old black market site, now completely empty, and said,
“What is the price of land here, isn’t it too expensive to leave those containers alone? So, while we were taking another leap forward as a group company, we were pushed out of the way. furthermore… .”
I said with a meaningful expression.
“The rumors about the Black Tiger organization may be true.”
Then Jo Man-cheol said with a surprised expression.
“What do you mean?”
“Honestly, it is true that I intervened in the early days of the black market. But it got too big. Of course, there were too many gaps. Thanks to this, unknown forces have crept in between them. I mean, it was out of my control at some point.”
And use this show to completely draw a line with the black market and the Black Tiger organization.
“I tried to rectify the situation, but by then it was too late. Then the existence of the Black Tiger organization became known. I realized then. Maybe they’re influencing the black market. To be honest, there’s no better place for them to hang out than the black market. So I pushed this opportunity altogether. If I leave it like this, I think I will get involved with them too.”
The black market is out of my control.
In other words, what happened on the black market is not my will.
This is exactly what I wanted to convey to the government.
“This is why I pushed the black market. I can’t afford the black market that’s out of control, so I’m thinking of just getting rid of it.”
“Uh… .”
The government does not know exactly about the Black Tiger organization.
I just wondered if the guilds were behind it.
But implicitly, I must have been in the candidate group.
“I’ve done this so far, so I hope you can trust me now. There is no way to prove anything more here.”
I pushed the black market with my own hands, who had been suspected for a while, what more excuses do I need?
“I believe.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Jo Man-cheol’s words to believe.
Is it real?

Maybe it’s a lie
Because the basis of this floor is to consider the number of all cases.
But it doesn’t matter.
Doubts without evidence will only end in doubts.
“Let’s go to the restaurant. We have prepared a dinner for you.”

The black market in Dangjin disappears, and new buildings are built in its place.
However, the black market has not completely disappeared.
Dangjin just left the host and spread throughout Korea.
“It looks like the organizations are in place.”
Organizations banned direct supply to bottom merchants from smuggled snow white berries and switched to monopolizing the supply directly from the top and distributing them to merchants.
Just like in the past, I monopolized the supply of Snow White.
Organizations that took full control of the supply chain like that gradually expanded their territory by taking over the system.
It is a new method that combines the sales method of the black market with the distribution method of drugs, such as using not only floor traders but also messengers as sales books.
“okay?”
“Only floor merchants… Now it’s more of a middleman than a trader, but anyway, it puts the floor traders to the fore and the rest completely submerged.”
A method of operating a store organization that promotes safety by hiding the upper part of the organization and promoting only the lower-level sales force.
“Then you should move slowly.”
And, of course, this method is as vulnerable to internal betrayal as they betrayed me.
“Cut down the supply. Leave the price as it is.”
“… There’s going to be a war for supply. Each other.”
“It is correct.”

My goal is to take away the entire organization and market created by them through trial and error.
To do that, you have to tighten it slowly and metallurgically.
If the supply is cut off at once, the entire organization will collapse.
Also, the sudden supply interruption spreads suspicions about me.
So take it slow.
But for sure.
I said with a smirk.
“It is to inform the traitors. How comfortable I was in my arms and what the traitor said.”
* * *
Organizations have made quite a few sacrifices while reorganizing their systems.
There was a lot of trial and error while pioneering a market in a place other than Dangjin, where it was always safe to do business.
Whether you’re dealing with the Internet and getting caught undercover by the police, or a shop for camouflage is discovered, etc.
But anyway, only floor traders or low-level salespeople are arrested anyway, and they can be replaced at any time, so organizations that have opened up a market somehow.
The blue ocean was unfolding before the eyes of the organizations that gradually accumulated know-how, found safe transaction methods, and successfully adapted.
New customers continued to increase as accessibility improved thanks to the sales networks of organizations spread across the country.
Of course, the pockets of organizations that get thicker as sales increase.
But their happiness did not last long.
“What? Out of stock?”
A close friend said with a firm expression on his face.
“Yes. This is because of the recent surge in sales and the government’s massive measures against smuggling.”
“… Well… .”
“Instead, I will freeze the price as an apology.”
“You still have a conscience. great. For now, let’s say you know Instead, if the supply increases, tell us to supply it first.”
Currently, all five independent organizations are dealing with smuggled snow white fruit.
In the past, it was the same organization under the same Jeong In-soo, but now it was just a competitor.
“I’ll give you a little more unit price than the others, so it’s a top priority. okay?”
“All right.”
Lim Jun-gi, who thought it was a simple incident, passed it on lightly.
But that was only the beginning.
