I said, pouring alcohol to the vice minister of culture.
“Have a drink.”
“thank you. CEO.”
The highest office in a ministry is a minister.
But the minister is the place where politicians come down with a parachute, and the real chief executive is the deputy minister who has served in that ministry for the rest of his life.
I said with a smile.
“Thank you for investing in our Jungin Investment.”
The vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is the person who invested 150 million won in Jeongin’s investment during the Russard incident.
Thanks to me, the market profit alone reached 1.35 billion.
Of course, there will be a lot of tax on financial income, but even if you take it all off, you will be able to get almost the lottery money in your hand.
“no. I am so grateful.”
In the past, high-ranking public officials who would have come out with quite a bit of pressure are now choked to death by my words.
Even so, if I fail to enter the political world, I need to prepare for my old age perfectly. Is there any better preparation for my retirement than me?
“Did you get some compliments from your mother?”
“That’s true…”
The deputy minister said with an awkward expression at my words.
“According to CEO Jung, I put almost 400 million won in Rushard, but that was completely scrapped…”
“Such. Even when I take it out, take it out.”
“ha.”
The minister sighed and said.
“People’s greed is not what we want. As the stock price keeps rising, I keep on holding on without even realizing it… Who would have thought they were scammers? Anyway, thanks to that, I almost got kicked out by my wife, but fortunately, the investment came in properly and I was able to pass it on.”
I said with a smile.
“Still, the gain is not the gain.”
“It is. really my The 400 million I invested is flying into the air, and the 150 million I invested in Jeongin has turned into 1.5 billion… That’s why there seems to be a voice telling me to just leave it to the experts. In the future, I will just quietly invest only in honest investment.”
that’s a good mindset
That kind of mindset makes it more difficult to treat me.
“haha. I wish you all the best in the future.”
“I wish you well. CEO.”
“By the way, have you seen our business plan?”
At my words, the deputy minister took a sip and said.
“…I saw it.”
“Isn’t that a good suggestion?”
At my words, the deputy minister looked at me and said.
“Honestly, this is a really good offer. They built a top-notch resort next to the dungeon and opened it to foreign hunters. It’s a really good proposition, not only for tourism, but also for the local economy and the dungeon industry.”
Looking at my eyes, I can’t help but feel more praised, but after examining the business feasibility internally, this was a really good business.
It is the best choice for foreign hunters who want to catch gambling, tourism, and even work.
“Yes?”
“But whether or not this will pass the committee is a secondary matter. To be honest, there are a lot of places that qualify. In fact, many hotels want to host a casino. But there is a reason why no new permits have been issued for nearly 15 years.”
“What is the reason?”
“First of all. The people are against it. also unconditionally. So far, whenever a casino license is issued, it has always been a buzzword. Isn’t it the thing that public officials hate the most? Of course, the related examinations are bound to be sluggish.”
I said with a smile.
“Is the Vice Minister also against you?”
Then the deputy minister said in amazement.
“Is that possible? As I said before, this is a really good suggestion. Such a proposal that must be made unconditionally for the national interest.”
Then there will be no problem.
Because there is no public official who will not follow the orders of the vice minister.
But if you present carrots in moderation, it will flow like water.
“Minister. Are you going to invest next time?”
“Isn’t that natural?”
“When I raise funds next time, I am planning to recruit people who have been specially recommended by the Vice Minister as additional investors… What do you think?”
Even if you cut out all the important parts and talk about it, it doesn’t interfere with conveying the meaning.
The deputy minister said in a quiet voice at my words.
“That’s not bad. Everyone will like it. Maybe everyone will work harder. Even to raise money for investment.”
This solved the first problem.
“Then what about the second one?”
“It’s really the second. In order to obtain a permit, a screening committee must be formed, which consists of two civil servants and 13 civilians. Thirteen civilians are selected based on recommendations from relevant organizations. Getting through this is the problem. All these 13 civilians are people in related industries like casino professors, and they … honestly don’t want to have a competitor.”
I said with a puzzled look.
“The professor doesn’t want a competitor to emerge. From a professor’s point of view, the more options, the better, isn’t it?”
“It is not so. Have you heard of the Utopia Group?”
This time, I found out about it while researching the casino.
Along with public companies, it is the only private company that monopolizes half of the Korean casino industry.
“Yes. Isn’t it a company that runs casinos and resorts?”
Although the sales scale is close to that of a mid-sized company, it has monopolized the net business for a long time, and the resort business is also a cash-flowing business, so it was a company with huge surplus funds.
“Most of the people in the relevant industry cannot be free from the breath of Utopia Group. If you look wrong in the Utopia group, you will lose all your job positions or anything, so it’s only natural.”
oh
Utopia has been preventing competitors from entering the market in this way.
“I wonder if the reason for creating a public company…”
“Yes. After the privatization, the monopoly controversy arose because of the utopia, and in the end, public corporations began to enter the market again.”
I thought the government created this structure to control the casino industry, but it was the complete opposite.
They say that they privatized a long time ago, but whether they lobbied at Utopia Group or whatever they did, they devoured the entire casino industry.
“It will not be easy to pass this committee review.”
hoo.
I really like it.
Should I watch and learn this?
Using regulations in reverse to block latecomers at the source.
For Utopia, regulation was just a shield that protected them.
Can I use this on snow white fruit?
While it is argued that it is virtually impossible to prevent it and that it should be settled in the institutional sphere for the reason of shading, it is true that there is a risk, so it is making them hit with various regulations.
And I carry on business safely under the protection of regulations.
Of course, this is just my opinion, and I don’t know if this can be realized, but it’s a really good method.
“Minister. Can’t you use some force? To make the committee members as friendly as possible to me. Although utopias occupy half of them, do public corporations have a similar influence? Besides, there will be those who do not support this utopia’s monopoly and oligopoly.”
The deputy minister, who thought for a moment at my words, nodded and said.
“We will do our best. It’s not anyone else, it’s CEO Jung’s request, but we have to work hard.”
Do civil servants use power?
Convenience within the confines of the law is not a problem.
However, the question is whether that is in return for receiving money or valuables.
But he said that there was no exchange of money or valuables between the vice minister and me.
It’s just that the vice minister invested money in my investment company.
I said with a smile.
“Then I will ask you a favor.”
Usually, when such a business plan is pursued, public officials will ask for various documents and bother them.
But I’m ‘lucky’ with the diligent, kind, service-minded civil servants who are assigned to the process, and the process is handled in an instant.
How grateful I am that they take care of all the documents they can do on their own.
“The government officials these days are very kind.”
Then I got a phone call from the deputy minister.
“Yes. Deputy Minister.”
– All committees have been set up.
“How is it?”
– Two public officials were assigned as people with a strong sense of mission.
Hue is the goat
Good night.
– About 6 of the remaining 13 people were recommended as decent people after I discussed it well with the president of the Casino Association.
That means 6 people are on my side.
-But the other 7…
I said with a smile.
“That’s good enough.”
Of the 15 people, 8, more than half, are on my side.
Of course, the committee’s decision is made based on the total score of the judges, not the majority, so it’s still too early to be relieved, but it’s still something to eat more than half of it.
“thank you.”
-no. We’ll have to hold a business briefing with the committee soon. What will you do? Will you send staff?
“no. I will go myself.”
To be honest, I don’t mind sending in the staff, but there must be a devastating interruption of the 7 people who are watching the Utopia group.
If I move on my own, I can immediately respond to their obstruction.
I said with a smile.
“Then I will prepare perfectly. I look forward to that time.”
Thus, the Gangneung complex resort business briefing session was held.
I proceeded with the presentation as I had practiced beforehand.
“If you combine hunters and dungeons to build a large-scale complex resort, it will not only have a big impact on the local economy, but will also greatly benefit Korea’s national interest.”
I turned to the committee and said.
“Our Jeongin Development wants to lead the development of the dungeon industry and tourism industry. I hope the committee members make a wise decision. That is all.”
When I finished my presentation, the lights came on and the members started applauding.
“very good.”
“It’s a combination of a dungeon, a resort, and a casino. It couldn’t be better than this.”

Members who have already talked to the Vice Minister in advance.
But again, the other 7 people do not stand still.
“Great offer.”
Professor Jinmo Park, who is the head of the Department of Tourism and Casino at Cheongwoo University, who seems to be the representative of the seven, looked at me and said:
“However, foreign casinos in Korea are already saturated. Some places are barely maintaining a surplus.”
Is the word saturation usually used in that case?
In other words, all of the existing foreign casinos are making a profit.
I said in a calm voice.
“Anyway, the customer base we are targeting is foreign hunters. I don’t think there will be any overlap with customers.”
“Never. Currently, many foreign hunters come to Jeju Island for sightseeing and enjoy casinos. However, if a new casino is opened here, there is a high probability that these customers will exit. Korea is not Macau, and the number of foreign customers who visit the casino is limited, but the creation of another casino here is a little … and also that it is combined with a dungeon.”
You came very deliberately.
“Hunters need equipment to enter the dungeon, but they cannot bring equipment to Korea. So, you are saying that you have to buy new equipment in Korea, but do you really want to hunt in the dungeon until then?”
I said with a smile.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I am currently running a company specializing in equipment called Seyun Precision.”
The current stake is 70% by me and 30% by Woo Jangseok, and after continuous research and improvement, more and more results are coming out.
“Lee Seyun Precision is focusing on rental rather than equipment sales. It is enough to establish a system that allows foreign hunters to hunt even if they come alone through equipment rental.”
Then, Professor Park Jin-mo coughed and said.
“After all, it’s not a rental. It’s clear that you can’t just bring your own equipment.”
Does a professor of casino department that I have never heard of anywhere raise objections to me regarding dungeons?
“Anyway, the business feasibility doesn’t look bad, but it seems there are a lot of things to think about. This is especially true of the development of self-esteem.”
“Yes?”
“Jeong-in development has no experience in operating casinos or resorts. This means that it is not suitable for this new attempt to simultaneously target a dungeon and a hunter. Especially casinos. It’s a resort, you just have to worry about lodging, lodging, and entertainment, but running a casino is not that easy.”
I’m sorry, but I’m the one who runs a huge gambling board called Monster Arena.
They also do monster speculation, but it’s kind of like a casino.
“So, I would like to do something like this. The resort is operated by Jeongin Development, but the casino is operated by a professional company. Wouldn’t it be better for the development of Jeongin to receive rent than to run a complex and difficult casino yourself?”
I thought it was an attempt to destroy the business itself because of the various tackles.
But suddenly you’re throwing a ball like this?
It is no different than the fact that the Utopia group is coveting my casino more than blocking it from entering the casino.
I said snoring.
“I’m sorry, but by the way, I just don’t rent it out to others.”
Professor Park Jin-mo said with a bewildered expression at my straightforward words.
“that. What is that…”
“Because I am not a person who lacks money.”
If you run a casino, you will spit out cash like Altoran.
okay.
Not bad.
But it’s nothing compared to my other businesses.
How much does it take to put a lot of people into a casino in a limited space?
taken from noblemt l
My monster arena alone will have more than tens of times the average daily number of visitors to the casino.
The casino is a bait to attract foreign hunters and at the same time a device that binds the hunters’ feet here.
Of course, since Hunters have a lot of money, the betting amount is that high, so it is profitable and good to manage the funds, but it is not enough to wrinkle self-esteem and do good things.
“Whether I lease the business right to someone or just give it up, isn’t it up to me to decide? The committees just need to consider whether this complex resort is feasible.”
You don’t have to be kind to those who come out hostile in the first place.
Professor Jinmo Park coughed at my words and said.
“Hmmmm. Anyway, we will start the examination from today.”
I said with a smile.
“I wish you well. members.”
I said hello and went out with the secretaries out of the meeting room.
I told Secretary Kim.
“Investigate the seven members of the committee. Everything you can find out.”
“Yes. CEO.”
The review takes about a month and a half to two months.
In the screening method, the judges each score points on several items, such as business performance and feasibility, and combine them to pass 800 points out of a total of 1,000 points.
It was said that even if all 8 people on my side gave a full score, if the other 7 gave all the bread points, I would be eliminated 100%.
Of course, since I have eyes to see, I won’t go to that extreme, but anyway, what if I get eliminated by a few points because of their interference?
So, before the results of the screening are released, we investigate them and take appropriate action.
“It’s a utopia group…”
After all, they’re all just scarecrows.
The real thing is a utopia that controls them.
I need to take care of these guys.
The problem is that these guys are protected by regulations so thoroughly, and they have so much cash that it is difficult to control them.
Those utopian-like guys who have no room to get in from the outside are the most difficult to deal with.
If that’s the case, I’ll just have to go with the Jeonggong method.
Anyway, if I continue to build casino complex resorts in dungeons, only they will lose unilaterally.
Because I have new customers called foreign hunters, while they lose existing customers.
Then, if you see a gap, send it away at once, or reject it slowly like that.
I said with a smile.
“First of all, those seven people.”
