How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

“That, what kind of nonsense is that!”

In response to my bomb declaration, Yu-oh Yoo stood up with a reddened face and shouted, of course.

“Impeachment! Never in the history of the Footwear Association has the president been impeached…”

I said, interrupting Yoo Yu-oh.

“It was written in the bylaws. If half of the members of the association support the impeachment, the impeachment vote goes into the vote, and if two-thirds of the members approve, the impeachment is passed. Just because you haven’t had it before, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be here again, right?”

I said with a relaxed expression.

“I’m telling you one more time in case you misunderstand, what did the president of the association do to us? Nothing. I just said that I would join with a good heart, but all I did was open a welcome ceremony and ask to borrow a skeleton. Did I tell you before? If you ask me, I thought I would consider it. But what are you doing after calling someone without saying anything? Even friends don’t do it so recklessly. isn’t it?”

I said looking at the silent association members.

“Anyway, that made me feel very bad, and I have no intention of joining the association until the president is impeached. But what if it was impeached? Then I promise that I will actively work for coexistence with you.”

Then Yoo Yu-oh screamed and shouted.

“Ta, only association members can propose impeachment! Representative Han is not yet a member of the Association…!”

Then, Deokbae Kim, who was next to me, raised his hand and said.

“I will submit a bill of impeachment against the president of the association, Yoo Yong-oh.”

Kim Deok-bae, a member of the association for 25 years.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with the bylaws.

I said with a smile.

“Is that enough? So what’s the long way to go? Everyone has gathered, so let’s decide here, right? Now, please raise your hand if you are in favor of submitting an impeachment bill against the president of the association, Yoo Yu-oh.”

Then, the members of the association who had been silent noticed and raised their hands.

Seeing this, Yoo Yu-oh exclaimed with bloodshot eyes.

“What are you doing! I was the one who asked CEO Han Ji-hyeok to borrow a skeleton! me!”

Then the association member raised his hand and said.

“I heard that CEO Han Ji-hyeok wouldn’t join the association if the president was there.”

When one member of the association opens up the water, you and I start talking.

“I thought the president of the association persuaded him again, but he just smoked something.”

“I wondered why the association was working…”

Deokbae Kim said:

The association’s organizational power has long since disappeared with the collapse of the industry decades ago.

As such, of course, the most important thing for individual association members is their own benefit.

There was no chance of winning for the president of the association.

In an instant, the majority of the association members raise their hands.

I said after counting the number of members of the association.

“A total of 170 voted in favor. More than half of the entire association, so the impeachment was officially passed. Then, let’s continue to vote on whether or not to impeach Yoo Yoo-oh, the president of the association. Let’s see, the total number of members is 330, and two-thirds of them are… If 220 people agree, the president of the association, Yu-Oh Yoo, will be formally impeached.”

I said with a troubled expression.

“For those who were just holding it, keep holding it, because it’s annoying to count. Just lift 50 more and I’ll sign up, or I’ll just walk out through that door.”

Then, even those who hesitated raise their hands one by one.

Yoo Yu-oh screamed in anger to somehow change the situation, but more and more people raised their hands, and finally reached the magic number 220 of impeachment.

“end.”

I looked at Yoo Yu-oh and said.

“The president of the association, Yoo Yong-oh, was impeached over this and demoted to a general association member.”

“This is not it! Where is the case of impeachment like roasting and eating beans with lightning! It is not necessary to hold a general meeting properly and proceed!”

In fact, to really follow the bylaws, as Yoo Yu-oh said, an emergency general meeting should be held and a formal vote should be held according to the agenda raised, but it doesn’t matter.

This sudden impeachment is to attract people gathered in one place to my side and to imprint on everyone that the trend is on my side.

Even if the impeachment is invalidated according to the bylaws, what does that mean in a situation where two-thirds have already voted in favor of the impeachment?

“ah. It’s noisy. If there is a complaint, Mr. Yoo Yu-oh separately holds a general meeting and announces that this impeachment is invalid according to the rules. then it won’t be Then I’ll vote again on the spot. Aren’t the results obvious?”

“Ugh!”

ruler. With this, the enemy’s spearhead was broken.

Now it’s my turn to make the rest on my side.

I said, holding up the sign-up form.

“Anyway, assuming that the impeachment has been passed, let’s continue the conversation. I have put my seal on this subscription form. Even though I am the former president of the association, the seal of the former president Yoo Yoo-oh is also stamped on it. I, Han Ji-hyeok, moved by your support for impeaching the president of the association for me, will officially join the association.”

Then the members of the association cheered.

“and!”

Seeing this, Yoo Yu-oh screamed and shouted.

“This impeachment is null and void! They didn’t even follow the proper procedures…!”

But wasn’t Yoo Yu-oh, who was talking at that time, suddenly holding up his cell phone to check, and sitting down quietly with a reddened face?

‘Ohh?’

In such a humiliating situation where I was impeached forcibly, I checked my phone for a while and then just sat down and chose to be silent.

‘Something has been ordered.’

I wonder if he told me to sit down to see the situation when he said he was lending me a skeleton?

If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way I could be so quiet.

I thought as I looked at Yoo Yong-oh, who was staring at the ground with a blushing face.

‘First of all, I’m going to figure out the situation first to see if it’s advantageous to them? But what should I do because I’m sorry, I have no intention of moving like I expected.’

I put down the sign up and said.

“I guess I signed up anyway, now it’s my turn to keep my promise, right? I will lend you a skeleton.”

“Oh oh!”

“at las!”

I said, looking at the members of the association who were full of anticipation.

“Of course you can’t just lend it. I’m also a business person, but no matter how much the same association, we can’t do it for free, can we?”

It completely dominates the association and the Korean shoe industry.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t lose money, can I?

Seron’s overflowing labor force and small businesses with technology and personal connections that were once successful but collapsed due to price competitiveness.

I’m going to mix this up well.

I said with a smile.

“The conditions are simple. We lend each other what we need.”

*

“Do you borrow what you need from each other?”

These are people who have been enduring with personal connections and technological prowess to overcome the reality of falling behind in price competitiveness.

What they lack is cheap labor.

“Skeleton? I can borrow it. But what you are mistaken about is that skeletons are very different from ordinary workers. All of the skeletons are individually placed in over 300 companies, and all of those many shoe types are tuned from time to time? Is that really possible?”

In fact, there is nothing you can’t do.

Because that’s what programmers do.

But it shouldn’t be like that.

In order to make them completely subordinate to me and to make them absolutely oblivious to me, I shouldn’t let them handle the skeleton freely.

I looked at the association members and said.

“It would be easier to think of skeletons as semi-autonomous machines rather than workers. And a machine like this really shines when it’s all in one place, maintenance or whatever. In other words, it is practically impossible to provide skeletons for all of your factories.”

Members of the association started whispering at my words.

He must have been embarrassed when he suddenly said something different after lending it to me.

“So I suggest the opposite. It doesn’t make sense to directly lend a skeleton, so I’ll just provide you with the skeleton’s labor force.”

One association member said with a puzzled expression.

“Labor force? I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

“Simply put, when you place an order, we will make it and ship it to you.”

“yes? No, that is nonsense…”

I said while looking at the association members who were trying to rebel.

“Instead, we will only take 1,500 won for regular shoes as a margin. It means that we do not care whether you add 10,000 won or 100,000 won as a margin on the shoes you order from us.”

They have connections and skills.

And I have a workforce.

When they run a business using the personal connections they have built up over the years, I make shoes using their technology and my labor force.

“How much labor costs do you spend making your own shoes in your factory? An easy-to-make one will cost at least 3,500 to 4,000 won. Yes? If you add the factory margin to that, well, 5,000 is ridiculous. But if you order from us, they will make it for 1,000 won. At this price, it is much cheaper than ordering directly from China.”

Of course, this is nothing but sophistry.

If it’s 1,500 won, it’s the same as the margin I receive from the maker.

In other words, there is no advantage to be gained as a member of the association.

Sure enough, the members of the association started whispering with an absurd look on their faces.

“…How is that different from making it by ordering it from Saeron?”

“therefore.”

“Is this a loan? Did you even approve of the impeachment of the president of the association?”

The reaction of the members of the association is very natural.

But it doesn’t matter.

If only one more condition is added here, this offer will become a golden opportunity for them.

I smiled at the association members and said,

“Instead, we will definitely guarantee this in our public opinion. I don’t know if you know, but our company, Saeron, doesn’t make any shoes for domestic use, only for export.”

It is the only field where Seron, which accepts all orders that make money, has not advanced.

It was the Korean domestic market.

When people think of shoes, only makers come to mind, but the size of the non-maker market was not negligible.

Non-maker markets such as boots, safety shoes, various fashion shoes, and Internet shopping malls account for almost half of the market, which is not a small scale considering that the domestic shoe market in Korea is close to 1 trillion won.

The problem is that even this domestic market is dominated by Chinese and Southeast Asian products.

In terms of ratio, it’s almost 9 to 1.

Naturally, here 9 is from China and Southeast Asia, and 1 is the 300 companies here.

But here, what if I only provide cheap labor of skeletons to these people?

And what if you get back the stolen 9?

Arithmetic, they say, they will be able to grow their business 10 times what it is now.

“From now on, Seron will only accept orders from shoe association members as far as domestic shoes are concerned. Of course, we have no intention of advancing directly.”

Then, the ears of the disappointed association members perked up.

“Do you mean to make it for domestic use only for association members?”

yes?

do you feel

“We only make it as ordered, and all the added value created from it belongs to you. In the domestic market, how long can we not sit still while being deprived of Chinese products? Seron will help.”

“… isn’t that bad?”

“Even if it’s not, there’s a safety shoe bid from Yooyoung Group soon. Shall we put it in?”

“Youyoung group?”

“Originally, we supplied it, but since 10 years ago, Chinese products have been winning bids. But at that price, I can deliver it cheaper, right? The bidder over there is a friend of mine, so if you match the price, you should be able to win it.”

okay.

That’s it.

move like that

Leave the making to me and focus on sales.

That’s how you completely depend on Seron for all production.

To the point where I couldn’t do the shoe business without Seron anymore.

Then one member of the association said.

“By the way, in this way, two employees… no, there is no need to run a factory in the first place.”

“Is that so?”

good.

The words I wanted came out.

I nodded and said.

“I have a good point. Employees and factories, as I said, you have no reason to have factories and workers that cost money anymore. No matter what you do, there will be no way to make it cheaper than Seron.”

I said with a firm expression.

“But aren’t we talking about win-win now? In addition, no matter how long it is, it is impossible to cover all at once, in addition to the existing work, the work that thousands of workers were responsible for.”

Besides, if everyone loses their jobs like that, they’ll make a fuss about losing their jobs because of me.

So it makes them a reason to keep blue collar workers.

“So here’s something I’ve been thinking about. Production workers and skeleton interlocking agents. To put it simply, the number of skeletons you can borrow at one time is tied to the number of production workers in the factory you own. Assuming that you lend up to 3x, if you have 5 production workers, you can only assign up to 15 skeletons at a time.”

Then one member of the association said.

“You say you have to be forced to work in production to borrow a skeleton?”

“yes.”

“I’m trying to borrow a skeleton for labor costs, but to rent a skeleton, I have to maintain the factory and staff… isn’t this a bit strange?”

I said with a smile.

“That’s right. It’s bound to be a burden. However, it is also a burden for all of you who have endured those hardships. What about new business owners?”

“A new operator?”

I nodded and said.

“When it comes to money, people flock to it. If you take away the domestic market and start earning money in earnest, people with eyes on this floor will appear unconditionally. But what if Seron makes shoes only for association members and demands a proper factory and production system as a condition for becoming an association member? This in itself becomes a kind of barrier to entry.”

I looked at the association members with a relaxed expression and said.

“If you want to receive shoes for the domestic market in Korea from Seron, you have to find a factory, hire even production workers, and then join the association… Is that as easy as it sounds?”

The association members who understood my words spoke with their eyes shining brightly.

“That’s right. That makes sense.”

“Even if we don’t have enough money, it’s not a problem to run a factory because we have connections and work experience that we’ve been accepting orders for, but how easy is it for a new business owner to rent a factory and hire a production worker to rent a skeleton? If it was that simple, so many shoe companies wouldn’t have gone out of business.”

I nodded and said.

“you’re right. Have you guys been struggling all this time? So, I am saying that we should share the domestic shoe market with only the remaining members of the association after hitting the wall. Around the wall of joining the association with factories and employees, all new businesses are cut out and perfect! Just between us.”

Associations that become too large can become difficult to control.

So, while maintaining only about 300 companies at present, it is to hand them candy that they did not even consider the Korean domestic market from the beginning, and become their absolute power.

It is also good from the point of view of Seron, because they can make money for the Korean domestic market, which they gave up, and at the same time, if they operate the skeleton, their technology is naturally absorbed into the Seron, so it is truly perfect.

I pointed at people with my hand and said.

“Guys, now we are a family. A family that protects each other. I believe the definition of family is between those who share interests. Just as it is natural for children to receive help from their parents and receive pocket money. But if a nearby bully suddenly tries to take away half of the pocket money he gave to his son, would you just let it go?”

The members of the Association, who fully understood what I was saying, exclaimed excitedly.

“Absolutely not!”

“I’ll beat you to death!”

I nodded with a satisfied expression and said.

“you’re right. You can never let go. How are we different from families in that sense? While each other protects each other’s interests. Families sometimes fight with each other, but when a non-family member starts a fight, a family that sticks together and defeats them. Isn’t it?”

“you’re right!

The flow passed perfectly.

I said raising my fist.

“Everyone, let’s get together! It’s about reclaiming the market lost to China! It clearly shows that no one can break our coexistence!”
