How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

It took only two days from placing 60,000 new orders to completion.

What followed was one-of-a-kind.

60,000 were completed and an additional 80,000 were ordered within a week.

When even that 80,000 was completely knocked out in two days, an order was placed for 150,000 the next week, but even this took only four days to make.

The total amount of time it took Seron to produce all the 300,000 pairs for a month that Rocco needed was only 10 days.

It was a phenomenal production speed that was unbelievable even for a small company.

Anyway, thanks to Seron’s performance, Rocco, which completely filled the shortage, not only automatically extended the contract once a month later, but also stopped negotiations with Chinese factories that demanded long contract periods and guaranteed quantities, and supplied all necessary quantities. By pushing it into Seron, he succeeded in completely plugging the hole caused by the coup.

Really good news to hear from the management of Rocco, who has been running such a smooth business.

“The coup will end early and the factory will be restarted in a few days.”

It was that the factory would be restarted with the end of the coup, which was the cause of this situation.

However, after hearing the story, the reaction of management, including CEO Andrew, was strange.

“So you’re talking about resuming production?”

“yes.”

“hmm······.”

After thinking for a while, Andrew said.

“Give me the European sales table again.”

At first, I was just satisfied with the insanely fast production speed and quality.

Thanks to that, I was able to completely fill the hole.

However, as shoes produced in Korea were released in Europe, the story went in a different direction.

Rocco Europe’s net profit.

Andrew looked at the sales table and licked his lips.

“To make a profit even with that kind of advertising…”

Usually, brands entering a new market, such as Rocco, focus their efforts on marketing using famous local celebrities or celebrities.

Of course, all you need to do that kind of marketing is money.

That’s why Rocco Europe’s sales growth is fast, but it has continued to be in the red due to significant marketing expenses.

However, the situation changed when the plant, which had been shut down, replaced the European supply that was supposed to be in charge with Seron’s supply and spread it to Europe.

Compared to other manufacturers, the overwhelmingly low delivery price naturally increased the percentage of net profit that Rocco took, and thanks to that, even after spending so much money on advertising, it made a profit, albeit a small one.

I was prepared to endure the loss and was pouring money, but now that there was a surplus, from Andrew’s point of view, the normalization of the existing factory is rather daunting.

In this situation, the fact that Seron was left out and returned to before the coup was, in other words, a story of returning to the deficit.

Then an executive said.

“Ceron has more consistent quality than any other manufacturer I have seen.”

Shoes that require human hands are, of course, fine, but there is bound to be a difference in quality from shoe to shoe.

However, Seron’s shoes were as constant as if they were machine-made.

“Especially, the ability to control production using skeletons is truly ridiculous. Normally, workers are stored in a subspace and only taken out when needed to work…”

Surprised by the overwhelming production speed, when I asked how this was possible, Han Ji-hyeok showed it with a video he took himself.

Hundreds of skeletons were taken out on the spot, rolled for 24 hours, and after completing the production of the shoes ordered, the skeletons that had no work were put back into the subspace.

“This is not even comparable to human workers in terms of efficiency. Besides, in this way, you don’t have to worry about inventory, you just order and sell whenever you run out of stock.”

If an additional 100,000 pairs were ordered, would it be more efficient to hire 100 employees and make 100,000 pairs per month, 3,000 each day, or would it be more efficient to hire 1,000 employees and make 3,000 pairs in 3 days?

Of course, it is overwhelmingly the former.

If you finish all the work in 3 days, those 1,000 people will just pay for labor costs until new jobs are created.

However, Seron is the only manufacturer in the world capable of the ridiculous latter.

Even 24-hour work is possible, so the efficiency is higher than that of human workers who only work 8 to 12 hours.

“Just this time, the production of the DP-10 model originally scheduled for last month was around 10,000 units. But suddenly word of mouth caused a shortage. So I was able to deal with it quickly thanks to an additional order of 40,000 pairs from Seron. If it wasn’t for Seron, I would have had to coordinate the cost of adding a line with the manufacturer with the production volume and what to include in the contract, all with just one phone call.”

Seron, which responds immediately after placing an order, and an existing manufacturer that moves erratically, talking about all sorts of circumstances even when an additional quantity is ordered in a hurry.

Of course, it is true that the existing manufacturer is normal and Seron is abnormal, but once you experience the abnormality, the behavior of the existing manufacturer is bound to look frustrating and slow.

“CEO, how much money do we lose from inventory in a year?”

Andrew said with a firm expression.

“More than millions of dollars.”

Inventory left over due to failed demand forecasts or guaranteed volume contracts.

Naturally, the only way to deal with this inventory was to sell it cheaply through carryover or dumping.

And in the process, Rocco loses millions of dollars a year.

“you’re right. However, if you make a deal with Seron, the story will be different. Once you place an order, isn’t the finished product pouring in within a few days? That’s enough to keep your inventory to a minimum and order from Seron whenever you need it. This way, we can minimize the cost of lost inventory.”

“So what do you mean?”

“There is nothing that is not superior to established manufacturers, whether it is delivery cost, efficiency or inventory management. You need to officially sign a contract with Seron to increase your business. It would be a loss not to do this.”

After thinking for a moment, Andrew nodded and said.

“That’s right. To be honest, it was to the point where I felt very frustrated with the work of other factories when I placed an order with Seron. The delivery price is expensive, production is slow, and we can’t control the quantity at will.”

At Andrew’s words, all the executives nodded and said.

“I felt that way too.”

“There is a lot of talk about this and that… Huh.”

Andrew’s words could not help but resonate with the executives who went through all sorts of hardships to save existing companies as well as substitute factories due to the recent coup.

“great. Let’s make a formal contract with Seron.”

*

The manager finally brought the contract formally sent by Loco.

okay.

I gave you a taste of the service like that, but it’s not polite if you don’t buy it.

The manager smiled brightly and said.

“Congratulations, CEO Han.”

Deokbae Kim also clapped next to him and said.

“Congratulations.”

I finally got a formal contract with Rocco.

To think that Kim Deok-bae won an OEM contract with a maker he had only mentioned as a possibility in just a few months.

The company of my dreams, where the maker does the sales and design, the skeletons and programmers do the work, and I make money while lying at home.

Now, starting with Rocco, I sign contracts with more makers to raise funds for my retirement.

I said with a confident expression.

“Did I tell you? Later, I will ask you to make it at Rocco.”

Deokbae Kim nodded and said.

“hahahaha. I must have underestimated the CEO’s abilities too much.”

“Just trust me in the future!”

Then the manager smiled and said.

“It’s great to see you two bragging about each other. hahahaha. Anyway, to briefly explain the contract, the guaranteed number of pairs is 150,000 units per month for a one-year contract. To be honest, this is a condition that even large manufacturers can covet. It is a really big concession from the head office to give this amount of guarantee when the existing factory has already been confirmed.”

Looking at Deokbae Kim, Deokbae Kim nodded and said,

“A guaranteed quantity of 150,000 pairs is quite high, even by the standards of the boom in the shoe industry in Korea. Very good conditions.”

Both the manager and Deokbae Kim say in unison that the conditions are good.

The manager said with a satisfied expression.

“Honestly, personally, I feel good because the public lecture is going well. Although the sales side is very sluggish… But still, I saw the potential as a production base for Roco Korea.”

Are you saying it’s good because we got shaved and things to do thanks to us?

It’s good if you like each other.

“Anyway, let’s check the contract. If you agree, we will proceed with the contract process. This is a translation contract that I translated myself.”

I accepted the contract with a relaxed expression.

“see.”

however.

The more I read the contract, the more my expression hardens little by little.

“Hmm?”

When I saw something strange about my expression, Deokbae Kim looked at me and said,

“Me, CEO? Do you have any problem······.”

“wait a minute.”

After reading all the contents of the contract, I said with an expression that I couldn’t understand.

“Is this a good condition?”

At my words, the chief said with a puzzled expression.

“yes? Joe, are you on good terms?”

I handed out the contract to Kim Deok-bae and said.

“Read it once.”

When I put on a serious face, Kim Deok-bae began looking at the contract with a serious expression.

However, Deokbae Kim made a puzzled expression and looked at me and said,

“I······.”

“Please speak.”

“Where is the problem…”

Even after reading it, you don’t know what’s wrong?

“The model in charge and the production quantity for each model are missing, but that is in line with Seron’s policy of immediate production upon order, so there is no problem…”

Deokbae Kim said with an incomprehensible expression.

“The rest is just a normal OEM contract.”

“Is this an ordinary contract? Take a look at this provision. Loss and damage caused by reasons for which A cannot be held liable shall be compensated by B. And this, this too.”

It is decorated with all kinds of words, but in the end, the content is all the same.

If something goes wrong, B has to take responsibility, and if B did something wrong, A can receive compensation or cancel the contract.

Is this a normal contract?

No matter how you look at it, Eul leans down on A and thanks for lowering the quantity, so I’ll endure everything, right?

“Then what about this? If B causes a disruption in supply, it must compensate. Then, do you really have to compensate Rocco for the Southeast Asian factory that was stopped by the coup?”

Then, as if he hadn’t expected such a question, the manager said in a cold sweat.

“Uh… that’s… Although the contract requires compensation, from what I’ve heard, the head office gave some reduction in exemption…”

“Reduction? Gaamyeon? So you’re saying you paid for it? Isn’t that what they want?”

“Ha, but this is industry practice. If there are no defects in the product and the production is good, there will be no problem…”

okay.

As long as things don’t break, there won’t be any problems.

But that is the same as asking what is the fear of being investigated by the police if you have not committed any crimes.

I just hate what I don’t like!

In particular, I am a person who has served 30 years in Seron, saying that if you kill the demon king, you will be sent away.

I just don’t like this kind of provision itself that seems to be tied to something like this or restricts my actions.

“Hmm.”

“I know you are hesitant because it is your first contract, but this is a standardized contract in the footwear industry. If you can’t accept this, it means that you can’t sign a contract with virtually all manufacturers.”

The manager said as if to comfort me.

“Anyway, CEO, don’t worry too much. This is just a clause written down in case something happens.”

If you can’t accept this, you can’t do anything else.

It is customary.

It’s a phrase I’ve heard a lot.

“Because I’ve been on a business trip abroad before?”

“Overseas?”

“It was there too. You only need to do one thing. You don’t have to worry about me. But when I tried it, it turned out that it wasn’t. How much to care about doing one of those things.”

The etiquette of nobles and royalty, as well as the rules that must be followed during battle.

At first, I got really sick of keeping every single one of them.

You just have to fight well, why are you nagging me so much?

“Then, at a certain company, I accidentally touched the son of a high-ranking man there. Then he said he was very f*cking luminous.”

“yes?”

To be precise, the corpses were raised as undead, but among them was the son of a high nobleman.

Because of that, they called it military law in that country and said that those who mutilated the bodies of nobles would be sentenced to death.

“What about punishment? They said it was dumbfounded while maintaining the company thanks to me. Do you know what I realized there?”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

“If you do everything I ask you to do, only I will be saved. It’s customary and whatever, it’s best to just do what I feel like.”

After losing my mind there, I turned back the undead army that was dealing with the demon king’s army and marched to the capital of the country.

What was the obvious result?

The capital fell in an instant, all the nobles and royalty were taken prisoner and re-educated to the bone, and only then did the people of Seron who didn’t know my temper could touch me anymore.

custom?

Why should I care about that?

If you’re going to order from me, don’t do it. This is it.

I said looking at Kim Deok-bae.

“President Kim, is this enough for our performance? In just two months, we delivered hundreds of thousands of pairs of clothing at a crazy speed and at an ultra-low price.”

“U-isn’t it?”

“That’s it.”

I do not intend to be tied to one company.

It’s not like I’m going to work for a thousand years or so, and I just need to get the quantity and make money, so what does it matter who the target is?

Once, he bent over at the tasting level, but since he successfully completed the most necessary verification, he obtained everything he could get from Rocco in the first place.

So now I go on my own.

“wait a minute.”

I started to draw out with a pen all the parts I didn’t like in the contract the manager had brought.

“Eul compensated? why me. uh? what is this clause What does it matter whether we win orders for other companies’ products or not, do we have to negotiate with them? Take this out.”

After drawing most of the details of the contract with a line, I held out the contract and said,

“ruler. I will accept this.”

The section manager who saw the almost tattered contract said with his mouth wide open.

“There is no way the head office will accept this.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as there’s no accident, there’s no problem. The same goes for this. As long as you don’t make any faults in Rocco, there won’t be any problems, right?”

Most of the deleted clauses are the contents that A can do these things if B did something.

Of course, since all of these have been deleted, the right to tell the best Rocco to do this and that to the second, Saeron, has been completely deleted.

What this tattered contract meant was this.

It’s Seron, to be precise, if you want to sign a contract with me, don’t nag me and don’t interfere.

“Ah, anyway, this is…”

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

If I came all the way here and did it, there’s no reason to be beaten, right?

“FYI, I will distribute proposals to all makers under the same conditions. And we will give you priority order rights in the order you sign a contract with us.”

When orders overlap, the company that was contracted first is given priority.

In other words, if the contract is late, there is no soup.

“I don’t have any ill feelings toward Rocco. If you order it, I’m thinking of making it as hard as possible. It’s just because the many clauses are cumbersome and cumbersome.”

Anyway, Rocco had already tasted the undead.

Cheap, fast and efficient.

Is there another manufacturer that can replace Seron for a company that prioritizes profit and efficiency?

Well, if you’re willing to endure even that, I admit it.

Then do it with another company.

I don’t block those who come and I don’t stop those who go.

“If this is the case, I will sign a contract right away. Make your decision at Rocco.”
