A quiet rumor began to circulate in Dangjin Dungeon City.
“What? Points will be abolished?”
The dungeon market merchants said in amazement.
“why!? why!”
Points have now become the core of business for merchants that should never be lost.
This is because the sales differed greatly depending on how the allocated points were distributed.
But the points are gone?
“At that time, a public official came to receive a tax evasion report. Isn’t that why?”
“Chief Jung! What does Mr. Jung say?”
“I haven’t gotten any response yet…”
“Then you should go and ask!”
These are merchants who are greedy for Jung In-soo, but this is directly related to their food.
Even if they couldn’t resist, they needed confirmation so that they could prepare at least a little.
Whether the rumors are true or not.
And it wasn’t just the dungeon market merchants who were outraged.
“My point!!”
Hunters are startled by the fact that their points may disappear and they may no longer be able to enjoy tax savings.
And then, thanks to the points, hunters increased and even general merchants whose sales increased.
Indeed, everyone in Dangjin Dungeon City flocked to Jeong In-soo’s office.
“president! president!!”
A hunter knocked on the office door and said:
“I’ve heard rumors, is that true!?”
I said as I opened the door with a firm expression on my face.
“You are here.”
People who saw my expression started to be more agitated as they were sure there was something.
“Is that true? The point system might disappear?”
I paused for a moment and said.
“everyone. I did my best for your convenience.”
I said looking at the dungeon market vendors.
“I have increased the point cap to increase your margin. Yes?”
The merchants nodded and said.
“of course.”
“And the Awoken. Awakened people also benefited from the points. The same goes for other general merchants.”
All townspeople nod their heads without hesitation.
“And what I got from that point system was…”
I looked at people and said.
“There is nothing. I didn’t really make a penny through the points system.”
don’t lie
just don’t tell the truth.
“I just wanted you to have more benefits and a more satisfying life here. So I introduced points. However.”
I said with a firm expression.
“I guess that’s not the case for those who are high above me.”
“Yes?!”
“If you don’t abolish the point system for me, I will conduct a tax audit.”
To be more precise, it was a threatening statement to control the amount of points before the tax audit and the point system itself was abolished, but the Korean language is different and it is a different law.
“These crazy bastards!!”
The townsfolk were outraged.
“I’ve been told to die for taxes, but now I’m just f*cking getting a little bit of points!!!”
At the hunter’s cry, the general merchants vomited their anger and said.
“Now we have barely settled in and the number of customers has increased!!”
I looked at those people and said.
“Of course you don’t have to worry too much. Awakened people. Even if the point system is abolished, the points you hold will be returned to you in cash. You know? This is Jung In-soo.”
As if I was the victim.
As if dedicated to everyone.
“But… if you get it back in cash, you’ll be taxed 25 percent again.”
The Hunters burst out in anger and said.
“Dog-like government bastards!!”
“Even the merchants, rest assured. You can do business the same as before. It’s just going back to the old days.”
The merchants beat their chests and said.
“You rotten bastards! Bad bastards.”
I said looking at the excited people.
“Of course, this is only the case in the worst case of the abolition of the point system. I’m going to try to figure it out somehow, so don’t worry. It was me who created the point system. so.”
I said with a smile.
“When it disappears, I take responsibility. Anyway… my head is complicated right now, so I need some time to organize my thoughts. Let’s just go in.”
So I closed the office door.
The voices of excited people were still heard from outside.
“Should I stay still like this?”
“If you can’t do it, you should call to protest!!”
“What have we done illegally? I didn’t do anything illegal, so why do you keep touching me!”
I quietly raised the corners of my lips as I listened to the voices of such people.
Rumors that the National Tax Service is pressing Jung In-soo to abolish the point system.
I was the one who spread this rumor in the first place.
“done.”
Now, the confrontation structure has expanded to the entire city of Dangjin Dungeon and the National Tax Service rather than the National Tax Service and I.
Because there is not a single person who is not receiving the benefits of points in Dangjin Dungeon City.
oh
Except for one of the canteen bosses.
By the way, that human is tough.
I mean, it’s still holding up.
It’s been several months already.
Then, suddenly, an anxious thought occurred to me.
“Aren’t you going to wake up and come to take revenge or something?”
A world where you never know what will happen to anyone.
There are general bodyguards, but if the Awoken rush in, it’s in trouble.
“I’m going to get some hunters and use them as bodyguards.”
Before that, I hesitated because the Hunter ransom was so expensive, but now I can afford that much money.
Anyway.
We expanded the confrontational structure, but we can’t stand still.
“Jaejin.”
Jaejin Lee, who was waiting next to me, said.
“Yes.”
“Ask the drivers to break down some of the warehouse in the evening. Of course, you have to keep it a secret.”
We need to give the impression that the Hunters have turned violent.
Now, I was excited because the Hunters thought it would be a loss to them, but who knows how long the excitement will last.
Unlike the merchants with their own food chains, the hunters were furious, but since I showed my intention to return the points in cash and there is a lot of money to make money, there is a high probability that they will spit and step on the poop.
So I thought about whether or not to compensate for the damage caused by the abolition of points, but if that happens, the Hunters’ trust in me will be damaged and they may become hostile to me.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the Hunter’s trust, but it is necessary to direct it as if the excitement is maintained as much as possible.
“All right.”
I said with a smile.
“ruler. Now, let’s see how the seniors of the National Tax Service will come out.”
The whole city stood up.
Of course, it is a small city with a population of a little over 1,000, but the problem is that it is a dungeon city.
The reason that the government had no choice but to be in awe of the hunters group boycott was because the value of the dungeon was highly valued.
The whole world is engulfed in a dungeon storm, but there is a sense of crisis that only Korea can’t be left behind, and the expectation that dungeons may become Korea’s new food in the future.
However, one of the only four dungeons in Korea stands up completely.
“What are you doing now!!”
The head of the tax evasion team said with a pale face.
“When did I tell you to abolish the point system right away! It could be abolished, so I told you to adjust the amount of points before that!”
– Isn’t that what you mean?
“Now say that… haha. Protest calls are coming from all over the place, and it’s not even a riot now! I’ve been called up a few times too!!”
Since we can’t legally impose sanctions right now, we were trying to reduce the amount of tax savings by pressing Jung In-soo to even reduce the amount of points issued, but things got too big.
“Are you doing that on purpose!? It’s a simple job that just needs to be done by reducing the amount of points issued, so why did it grow like this!”
Even though it’s not illegal, it’s an expedient.
Therefore, it was a completely different reaction from the team leader’s expectation, who thought that if he gave a moderate amount of fear, he would adjust the water level on his own.
-ha.
Jeong In-soo sighed and said.
– I’m sorry. Even though there is no legal problem, I have a responsibility as a citizen of the Republic of Korea and willingly followed the team leader’s suggestion. Yesterday the Aroused Awoken smashed even our warehouse.
The manager said, startled.
“The warehouse…”
– Now that I feel threatened, I’m also looking for Awakened bodyguards today. Do you know how much damage I’m losing by following the manager’s suggestion? Still, did I grow my job? Do you have any evidence?
The manager bit his lip and muttered.
“shit···”
Jung In-soo is the problem.
Obviously I know something is wrong, but there is no solution.
Looking at the transaction history obtained from the merchant, Jeong In-soo did not really make money by saving points.
In this way, it can only be seen that the tax saving through points was not the intention of Jeong In-soo, but was abused by merchants and hunters.
In other words, Jung In-soo, the person who created the points, has become an unfair victim of the merchants and hunters abusing the points.
The problem is that this doesn’t make sense.
Is Jeong In-soo the victim, who dominates the entire area and exerts a powerful influence?
Rather, it is more persuasive that hunters and merchants are playing with Jeong In-soo.
Rumors that the National Tax Service is trying to abolish the point system in Dangjin?
The team leader was convinced that it must have flowed from the mouth of the party, In-soo Jung.
To create a situation like this.
The problem is that there is no evidence to prove this, and above all, even if there is, the team leader has no means to deal with it.
The only way to pressure Jung In-soo is to force a tax investigation as initially threatened, but people in the city already have the tax investigation and the abolition of points on the same line in the minds of city dwellers.
Do you conduct a tax audit in this situation?
It was an act of kindling the anger of the city dwellers.
-Anyway, it seems that it is difficult for me to proceed with the abolition of points because I am no longer at risk.
Rather, if he reveals his sympathy overtly, he will respond accordingly, but Jung In-soo pretends to be a good victim.
It was obvious that he had made the rumor, but as he continued to be ignorant like that, his bua rose.
But now, the fix comes first.
“It’s not abolition, it’s reduction!! It’s just 4 percent of what we used to do!”
-manager. Do you think I would be able to say such a thing in this situation?
People who have already become radical enough to destroy Jung In-soo’s warehouse.
“Ugh.”
-I have responded diligently to avoid the tax audit, but I am no longer able to do it on my own. But that doesn’t mean I’m rejecting the offer. Instead, persuasion is done by the manager.
“I beg your pardon?”
-I am willing to abolish or adjust points for the sake of my country. Of course it’s a story when people agree.
You’ve made the situation to this level, and you’re on your own to fix it.
Then I heard a thump through the phone.
– Uh. Someone knocks on the door. I’ll quit first!
“ruler. Wait a moment! Boss Jung! Boss Jung!!”
As I ended the call, the hand that was beating the desk also stopped.
I said with a smirk.
“Now what are you going to do?”
The reason the team leader tried to reduce the amount of points issued by pressure while talking about the tax investigation was because there was no other way.
It must have been the thought of putting pressure on me and trying to finish it easily and easily.
For entrepreneurs, if you were a civil servant of the National Tax Service, this would have worked for you, but I am not in a different position.
Because I am a person whose interests are intertwined with everyone in this city through unions and points.
Among them, hundreds of hunters, which the government considers to be a key resource, are included.
Can only one official handle this situation?
At first, the team leader approached Dangjin Dungeon City too easily, as if he was putting pressure on an ordinary company.
This is not a typical company, but a city where people of all kinds are united with their own interests.
It didn’t take into account the aftermath of touching the point that was at the heart of such a city and had an impact everywhere.
Of course I understand.
Because there has never been a city where all ordinary hunters are united as one, not only now but also in previous lives.
“A public official with a heavy butt wouldn’t come out and persuade people in the city, so in the end he had no choice but to put pressure on me.
The team leader now has two options.
The first is to stop intervening before making more work and report it to the upper management to promote law revision.
However, reforming the law is not so simple that even in the case of a booming virtual currency, there was a debate over whether to view it as money or just a kind of asset, depending on interests.
There are many agendas to discuss, such as whether it will be limited to Dangjin or what to do with other department stores or mart points.
Otherwise, I have no choice but to pressure myself by forcing a real tax audit, but is that even possible at this point in time when the antipathy of city dwellers is at its peak?
I don’t care if it comes out either way.
It will take a while to reform the law, and if the tax investigation is really enforced, it is enough to incite the anger of the city dwellers.
I said with a smile.
“Fight hard.”
The more people fall into the swamp, the deeper it gets.
It is different from illegal business before that.
At that time, it was all employees who did not want to lose their jobs, but now the interests of everyone, including merchants, are at stake.
And I take the victim position and step back from this fight.
From the point of view of the people of the dungeon city, those who suffered from the National Tax Service on their behalf, and those who suffered damage from the National Tax Service after following their instructions.
Of course, there’s no way the National Tax Service isn’t an idiot and doesn’t know that I’ve joined Dangjin Dungeon City into a chasm fight.
But that doesn’t change anything.
There is only one truth.
The National Tax Service tried to fix the point system in Dangjin even by forcing a tax investigation, and the only thing is that the people of the city are furious about it.
From now on, it was a battle between Dangjin Dungeon City and the National Tax Service.
I said with a smile.
“Let’s try it somewhere.”
