81 – Carrots and Donations
“Hmm….”
Recently, the number of unused items has increased significantly.
Starting from inexpensive pots with unopened packaging, to electronic products that are used once and no longer used.
I bought it with the intention of using it sparingly, but I didn’t really need much help.
More and more people are using it only once and then putting it away in a warehouse.
“Sister, aren’t you using this Bluetooth speaker?”
“Yeah, I stopped connecting for no reason because it got annoying.”
The Bluetooth speaker was not a speaker, but a mere interior accessory.
There was a little dust accumulated.
Poor guy…
Pick up those lying around and sit on the sofa.
I started wiping the dust with a wet tissue.
“To write?”
“No, I thought I’d send it away with carrots.”
“Carrot? What is that?”
“It’s like a second-hand trading cafe that focuses on direct transactions.”
“Hmm…There is such a thing. Is it because you are a housewife? You know it well, right?”
Ara, who was stroking my head, said something suddenly occurred to her.
I ran into the collection room.
There are racing game consoles and cards over there.
This is the room where Ara’s precious items sleep.
Not long ago, I purchased a cabinet that traps moisture and started storing cards.
Well, when you think about how a single card costs several times the price of an ornament.
I think it is reasonable and natural consumption.
“How about something like this?”
Ara came out with several things.
She held the items out to me.
VR machines, unopened smartphones, hifi dac, etc.
There were more expensive items than I expected.
“Where do these items come from?”
“I received it from a company a while ago, but my sister didn’t find it very useful.”
“I think they are very expensive items for something like that…”
All of the items were brand new as they had never been opened.
By the way, I wish I had known that I would receive an unopened smartphone.
I wouldn’t have had to change my cell phone.
“Will something like this sell?”
“Well.. If you sell it at a low price. But why are you selling this?”
“There’s no particular reason?”
“…….”
Well, we don’t want to sell things because we don’t have enough money.
Ara seems to think it’s simply ‘play’ and is jumping on the bandwagon.
“But is it okay to sell this? Didn’t you say you got it as a gift?”
“Hmm… But these are things you don’t need, right?”
“Then what should I do with the money I sold?”
“You take it.”
“Okay.”
Now, even if Ara buries a few million won in the ground, there will be no exclamation.
Is it believable that the 80 billion won buried under a ginseng field is Ara’s money?
“The weather is getting colder, so should I donate the money I sold this and a little of my own money?”
“If you’re going to donate, do it with things, not money.”
“I know, too. Even though he looks like this, he’s from an orphanage.”
“That’s right… I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry. Like my sister said, goods are better than cash.”
Ara consistently sponsors and donates hundreds of millions of won each year to orphanages, nursing homes, emergency centers, etc.
She is one of the experts in the donation field.
Something like negative rumors were heard from the place Ara sponsored.
There is nothing at all, and all details such as details of use of donated goods and amount are disclosed.
So, she donates things to places like orphanages and nursing homes.
Donate cash to places such as emergency centers.
In the latter case, the items that can be supported are too limited.
Because it is much better to provide support in cash.
“How much does your sister donate per year?”
“Billion?”
“It’s amazing, really.”
“That’s because my sister makes a lot of money.”
Dividends paid out every year and monthly rent from buildings here and there…
Music copyright fees… Wow… There are so many that it’s hard to even think about them.
They say that originally, women’s money was managed by their husbands.
If I thought I had managed something like that, I would have split my head from headaches.
I should say thank you to my tax accountant and asset manager.
“Then what level is appropriate for me?”
“What is the total profit this year?”
Most of the revenue comes from QTube, and the company takes a lot of the advertising revenue, so not much is left.
Because they manage everything in the first place.
I’m not very impressed because I’m getting free money.
The fencer’s sister was happy that the incentives had increased significantly.
“If you do all the advertising… 2 Billion?”
Even after I said that, I laughed because it was so funny.
A 20-year-old newbie earns 2 billion won a year.
This is all because of QTube, which is booming for no reason.
I don’t upload even two videos a month.
Why is it so fun to watch?
“Then how about just giving it about 5,000?
And, isn’t it bad to just save up without using it?”
“Isn’t saving just a good thing?”
“You have to do year-end tax settlement. If you don’t use it, you have to pay it all in taxes.”
There was silence for a moment.
Regardless of whether I shed blood or sweat, I already paid taxes on all my hard-earned money.
Do I have to pay taxes again just because I didn’t use it?
“Huh… Really? Then should I buy a building or something?”
“So, I’m saying it’s not a bad thing to donate.
If you donate, there are tax reduction benefits.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of something like that. But that only happens when you pay in cash, right?”
“Yes. I know well.”
This time, instead of stroking the head, I stroked the cheek.
Ara is smiling brightly.
Every time I learn something, Ara seems to be in a good mood.
“Then, first, let’s put this on carrots.”
“Okay. Let’s sell that and buy some meat.”
“It’s meat…..”
Well, I’ve only been eating a lot of seafood these days.
I felt a little tired.
*
“Ugh…..It’s noisy….”
I put my things down and laid down to take a nap since there was no communication.
At some point, my cell phone started ringing continuously saying ‘carrot’.
At some point, it becomes quiet and when I try to sleep again, the alarm rings repeatedly.
Irritability came to an end.
So I checked my phone to see if I could delete the app.
Some people sent me a lot of carrot talk saying they wanted to buy it.
“Wow… There are people who buy such expensive items for real money…”
Something like a hifi dac costs over 4 million won.
The mobile phone is unopened and is worth well over 1 million won.
“Maybe it’s because it’s in the Seoul area…There seem to be a lot of rich people.”
I was convinced in a strange way,
I read each and every CarrotTalk message sent.
[Sold? If it hasn’t sold, please contact me.]
[Can it be negotiated? If you sell it for 300,000 won, I will buy it right away.]
[I’m a student, so can’t you give it to me for free?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
In addition to these, there are messages asking you to sleep for free.
A huge amount of strange messages poured out.
Cancel what I said earlier.
It’s not that there are a lot of rich people because it’s a metropolitan area, but there seem to be a lot of slightly strange people.
“What else is this guy doing…?”
I never thought I would see a comment where a man asks a man to sleep with him for free.
I’m so disgusted.
Wouldn’t this be sued for prostitution?
“Hey, it’s annoying.”
I just didn’t want to see it, so I pressed the button to block it and deleted the comment.
And then I clicked on the first person who sent me a message and sent a message.
[When are you free?]
I thought the reply would be late because it’s been quite a while since the text message arrived.
As soon as I lay down in bed, the Carrot Talk notification started ringing.
[You can do it right now! It’s unopened, right?]
[Yes, that’s right. You have to come to my house, is that okay?]
From Noble mtl dot com
[It’s okay!]
Because it was an unopened product, it was a cool deal.
[The address is…….. Please give me carrot talk when you come.]
[Yes. Do you prefer cash or an account?]
[Please use bank transfer.]
[I understand.]
I said it would take about 30 minutes.
I have to wash up before I go out.

“I somehow managed to sell it all.”
I don’t know what to do now.
I have money and a purpose, but I can’t think of a way to achieve it.
No matter how much it is an orphanage or a nursing home,
You should not send items suddenly.
And, how on earth should I send that item?
Do I have to send it by truck or something?
“Ara, please help me.”
“You should try this yourself.”
“Still… I don’t know anything.”
It’s not like someone just starting out in society donates through the internet.
It may be difficult to donate by directly bringing items to the center.
“Then, would you like to tell the company and proceed?”
“Company?”
“The company recruited volunteers to select donation items together with Seonghwan in an event-like manner.
It’s being moved by truck.”
“That’s fine! Really.”
“Really? Actually, my sister was going to do it, but it’s better for a man to do it than a woman to do it.
I didn’t do it because I thought it would be better to promote a donation culture.”
I don’t know how effective it will be even if I try it.
I think the idea Ara came up with is quite good.
Volunteering with viewers makes me feel good just thinking about it.
Would it be better to make a donation in the subscriber’s name rather than in my name?
“Then contact me first…”
“To whom? I have to tell the CEO about this first.”
“Huh? Not the PD?”
“The CEO also makes a lot of personal donations. Just wait a moment.”
Ara took out her cell phone from her pocket and started calling somewhere.
But, wouldn’t it be too big if the CEO and Ara got involved?
