How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

chapter 11



Skeleton performing the national gymnastic movement accurately.

I said with a thumbs up.

“It’s great too.”

I got stuck in the plane that was shown during the interview, so I picked him right away thinking that he was a talented person, but I was right.

Baek Sang-ho completed the National Gymnastics movement in only 5 days, given a week.

Baek Sang-ho, whose dark circles came down deeply, said with a big smile.

“Go, thank you.”

“Are there any difficulties?”

“I was confused at first, but once I got used to it, it was easy.”

Of course, the control console handed to Baek Sang-ho was a skeleton mage with only the appearance.

A kind of special undead that uses simple magic differently from normal skeletons.

After making such a Skeleton Mage into a console shape, I gave it magic ability to fine-tune its movements, and made it possible to activate it with various buttons and levers.

“It couldn’t have been. If you have any inconveniences, please be honest, because this is still a beta version, so there must be a lot of things lacking.”

However, since it was made in haste, it was obvious that there would be a shortage.

“Actually, I think having simultaneous dual arm control here would speed things up a lot. Since I control both sides individually, they don’t match well. And the recognition speed is also a bit of a problem…”

Having received so much feedback, I nodded and said.

“We will upgrade the version as soon as it is improved later. ah! And can I show you something interesting?”

“Are you having fun?”

“for a moment.”

After taking out 10 skeletons from subspace, I pointed the console at the skeleton that Baek Sang-ho had implemented in national gymnastics, and then pressed a button.

“This is a copy. Point it to this skeleton and then paste it…”

So I pasted the operation command settings into the console and then pressed the activate button.

Then all the skeletons start doing national gymnastics.

“Voila. That way, you don’t have to do the same thing over and over again.”

“and······.”

Modify the detailed settings with the console, then copy and paste.

It was possible because it did not completely change the command itself, but merely changed the setting value.

I returned the console to Baek Sang-ho and said.

“Anyway, personally, I have high expectations for Baek Sang-ho.”

Then Baek Sang-ho opened his eyes and said.

“What are you waiting for?”

You’re not supposed to work on my behalf.

I was hired to be comfortable.

“Since Baek Sang-ho is our company’s first programmer, isn’t he the most senior when juniors come in?”

“I’m the senior?!”

As we continue to increase the size of our factories, we must continue to hire programmers.

Of course, the training for that programmer should be left to Baek Sang-ho.

“So learn to work hard. You shouldn’t be ashamed to see your juniors later, right?”

Baek Sang-ho swallowed dryly and said.

“Juniors…”

“If you teach juniors like that, you will become a team leader, and if you become a team leader, your salary will rise. What, isn’t life like that?”

I’ll give you enough money

So please do your job well.

It’s like playing a game.

Baek Sang-ho said with his eyes shining.

“I will do my best to live up to your expectations!”

“Good mindset! ruler! Let’s try hard!”

Let’s earn my retirement money!

– Representative Han! These days, a shoe factory·······.

I said with a troubled expression.

“yes. are doing yes.”

-No way Skeleton…

“yes. yes. What’s the problem?”

-No… that’s why…

“Then hang up.”

After finishing the call, Kim Deok-bae spoke in a cautious voice.

“Who are you?”

“ah. there is. He’s the director of the registry over there, but he keeps calling me whenever he has a chance to bother me.”

The director of the registry stumbled after being hit by a stock bomb.

But there’s nothing I can do about it, so I just stare at it blankly, and this time I’m selling a lot of shoes at a cheap price at a shoe factory, so I smell it again and contact you.

“There’s nothing I can do, so what?”

You can’t weave skeletons into labor laws, and it’s not against the Awoken Law either.

I mean, I’m moving under the law.

Even the combat type is not made at all, so there is no accident, so there is no problem, right?

“Don’t worry, I’m just a normal person.”

“ah. yes.”

“Is Sang-ho doing well?”

At my words, Deokbae Kim said with a smile.

“At first, I lost quite a bit and ruined a lot of shoes, but now I’m pretty sure I’m used to it.”

People can walk so naturally that they don’t know how sophisticated the act of walking is.

From the balance of the body to the movement of each joint, if you do it manually, you have to move all parts of the body organically.

Of course, I completed all the settings that required advanced skills such as moving and sewing, and all Baek Sang-ho had to do was control when, how, and where to do the actions I had completed.

But even if I mastered that, my work would be reduced to half, half, half.

If I make a skeleton and paste the basic commands, the rest of the detailed settings can be done by programmers like Baek Sang-ho.

“Then, Mr. Baek Sang-ho must have adapted too, so let’s hire a new programmer.”

“All right. I will post a job posting.”

“There is no need for real programming skills, so select people who are good at games like that, like Baek Sang-ho.”

“yes.”

Having ordered the hiring of new programmers, I looked around the factory and said,

“Anyway, stock is running low.”

While educating Baek Sang-ho, he acquired an additional factory and took over a total of 5 factories, but due to the lack of orders, he was able to run only 14 hours (?) instead of 24 hours.

“Honestly, there is no shortage of stock. Orders continue to rise as word spreads. When I think of the time I was running it, it hit the jackpot and I couldn’t handle the volume. only······.”

“only?”

“Right now, the number of factories is increasing faster than rumors are spreading, so it just feels like there is a shortage of supplies.”

Kim Deok-bae shook his head and said, as if he was dumbfounded even after he said it.

“There are times like this in my life. Orders are overflowing, but production is growing faster… Anyway, so far it’s very smooth. It couldn’t get any better than this.”

You still don’t know much about me.

“I am not satisfied with this.”

“yes?”

You don’t have to earn money quickly to retire soon.

I barely earn this and make it in trillions in a certain period of time.

“OEM, commissioned by a famous manufacturer. When can we do that?”

“That’s something that, of course, you have to accept us from there.”

“So, how much bigger do you have to grow to accept it?”

“yes? No… CEO, it’s only been a little over a month since you took over the first shoe factory…”

“I’m a bit impatient.”

Deokbae Kim said with a puzzled expression.

“I’ll put in a letter of intent for now, but there’s no way they would accept a small business like us so easily.”

“why? Where else can you make it cheaper than us? It doesn’t matter if the scale will continue to grow.”

“Aren’t you a maker? Such manufacturers value quality and reliability as well as price, but we are still at that level…. What I said then was that it might be possible, not that it could be done right now.”

You said it in a roundabout way, but in the end, you mean that no factory accepts it easily, no matter how cheap the price is?

I thought about it for a while and said.

“Chief Kim.”

“yes.”

“Are our manufacturing skills so lacking that we cannot make famous makers?”

Then, Deokbae Kim said with an angry expression.

“It’s not like that! Although it is true that the skeletons’ sewing skills lacked a lot at first, thanks to continuous updates, they are sewing exactly as if the machine did it. They use cheap materials to make cheap shoes, but given the chance, you can do anything! Having run a shoe factory my whole life, I guarantee it!”

“Then, the ability and cost-effectiveness are certain, and what is lacking is reliability and an opportunity to be verified. It’s okay if you keep increasing the scale. Right?”

“you’re right.”

“Then, shall we do a proper advertisement?”

“Advertising?”

“Even when I see him like this, he’s a person who gets a lot of attention. If fame isn’t enough, you can make it famous. Once it becomes known, even if it’s not necessarily the most famous maker, won’t the 2nd and 3rd divisions contact you?”

I said with a smile.

“If there is no road, we should dig through it instead of waiting for it to come along. Let’s reveal the skeleton and the entire production process.”

The director must have already noticed, didn’t you decide to live without noticing as long as you don’t harm others anyway?

“Shoes made by skeletons? I think this will be enough to make it a hot topic.”

*

Skeletons are sewing with sewing machines without a break.

come and go

And the people who saw it said with shining eyes.

“Oh oh!”

“A real skeleton is doing the sewing.”

“Dogs are amazing.”

There are people who just tour the factory, but most of the workers here are even skeletons.

There were enough reasons to buy people’s attention.

At that time, a person approached the shelf installed in the corner of the factory and said, looking at the shoes on it.

“uh? what’s this.”

Rough-designed shoes with skull-shaped decorations.

As the person approached, the staff in charge of the counter said in a friendly voice.

“These shoes are sold as souvenirs.”

At the word souvenir, the man who touched the shoe said.

“Are you okay?”

The man who is quite serious about shoes noticed that the sewing is in good condition and, above all, the material is quite luxurious.

“The price…”

The man who checked the price like that said with a sad expression.

“Sixty thousand won? too expensive.”

It’s well made and the material is high quality, but the design is just like that, only with a skull decoration, and above all, these souvenir shoes that aren’t from a famous manufacturer cost 60,000 won.

“I saw you.”

That moment when I was about to put my shoes down.

“It’s not 60,000 won.”

“yes?”

“Check carefully, the price tag.”

The man who checked the price tag opened his eyes wide and said,

“Six thousand?”

The price of the souvenir skull shoes was just 6,000 won.

“yes. It is 6,000 won.”

“crazy. This material costs 6,000 won?”

In a world where slippers cost several thousand won, these sneakers cost 6,000 won.

“Chinese? uh? isn’t it?”

“These are shoes made by the skeletons in our factory.”

Although I can’t wear it with my main power, it was perfect for stopping by the convenience store in front of my house or wearing it when exercising.

“If it weren’t for the skull decoration…”

“You can just take the skull off. It’s literally just decoration.”

“is it so?”

The man said with his eyes shining.

“Then give me four. I can give some to my friends as gifts for fun.”

Then the employee lowered his head and said.

“sorry. We only sell 2 pairs per person.”

“ah. is it so? Somehow it was cheap.”

A man who assumed that he was selling some of the stock while bleeding to commemorate the factory opening.

“Then give me two.”

In this way, Skeleton Mountain Seron shoes, targeting the general public, slowly began to make their name known to the world.

*

I thought about calling a reporter, but when the reporter comes, it seems that he will only pay attention to the number of my summons, not my shoes.

First of all, I posted a video on a video site with the title ‘Shoes made by skeletons!’

And the video got a decent amount of views, as expected.

There were even a lot of comments in English, and there was a lot of interest overseas.

After all, a skeleton sits on a chair in a factory and sews, like a human. Who wouldn’t be surprised by this?

Anyway, after creating a buzz like that, the factory was opened to the public.

I want you to come and see for yourself.

our children’s skills.

At the same time, shoes made with fairly high-quality materials were distributed as souvenirs at low prices.

Of course, rather than selling these commemorative shoes to the general public, this is a sample to show the people involved in the company that we can make this much if we make up our minds.

Deokbae Kim said with a bright smile.

“The calls keep coming in!”

Thanks to the inquiry calls coming in from all sides.

At least this method was proof that the effect of driving a topic was certain.

“Did you reject all domestic use in Korea?”

“of course.”

There’s no need to get scolded for touching the Korean domestic shoe market, right?

My goal is to bring the pie to the overseas market.

The goal is to become an OEM where you can sit comfortably and make as instructed.

“Has anyone contacted the manufacturer?”

“That’s it, so far…”

Tsk.

being expensive.

Anyway, the advertising effect was good, so let’s keep going.

“First of all, set it at the lowest price and spray it. What is the margin… I only get 500 won, the same as now.”

Maintaining the strategy of increasing the size by exfoliating.

Until it grows in size and everyone pays attention to Seron’s overwhelming cost performance.

And I don’t know if it’s a shocking unit price to others, but in fact, even if I get 500 won, it’s enough.

In general, a small shoe factory sets a margin of about 1,000 won to 1,500 won after excluding labor costs and other costs when making a single shoe.

However, this margin setting standard is based on human workers.

On average, compared to people who work for about 8 hours on weekdays, the efficiency of skeletons who work 24 hours, and even without weekends, is of course more than three times higher.

In other words, even with a margin of 500 won, if the order volume is sufficient and the factory can operate 24 hours a day, the profit rate is arithmetically higher than that of a general shoe factory.

Labor costs are also subtracted, but even margins are low?

Undoubtedly, there is no company in the world that can make light industrial products cheaper than Seron.

It is an ultra-low price offensive that is possible only because it is truly undead.

“All right.”

“If you keep going, anyone will get caught.”

Deokbae Kim was silent for a moment, then spoke.

“As I said, you don’t have to be too obsessed with the maker. The size of the shoe export market is enormous even if it is not a maker, although the share of manufacturers is large.”

Did I look a little impatient even to Kim Deok-bae?

But I can’t help it.

I want to earn money quickly and retire.

Anyway, how long do you mean it’s amazing?

“How much?”

“Leaving aside everything else, China exports billions of pairs of shoes each year, and the amount is in the tens of trillions. About half of them are shoes delivered to manufacturers.”

Oh oh!

China alone, and only the shoe manufacturing industry is that much?

If half of them are manufacturers, the other half are non-makers, like slippers or cheap sneakers we make, right?

“Uh ha!”

I did well to enter the light industry.

Even if you eat only half of that market, your retirement angle will stand still, right?

But that doesn’t mean I’m giving up on the maker.

“Still, we unconditionally break through the maker.”

I heard that manufacturers order up to hundreds of thousands of pairs of a single model?

Then, if you just copy the skeleton’s model settings and lay them out, you can make money. How can you leave this honey jar alone?

Makers do design and sales, and programmers and skeletons do the work.

How comfortable are you?

If you are going to eat, you should eat mainly delicious things.

Deokbae Kim nodded and said.

“That is correct. Which maker’s quantity of orders is also a way to show the capability of that factory. I am saying this in the sense of not being too stressed out.”

You seem to have misunderstood my meaning a bit, but… well, it doesn’t matter.

I leaned back in my chair and said.

“ruler. Anybody take one.”

I’ll definitely show you what’s cheap and good.
