How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

17 episodes

It was about a year later that the slime slime waste disposal business came to the fore in earnest.

If so, it means that I have one year left before I can exclusively secure slime slime.

I patted the calculator and licked my lips.

“Complete monopoly is impossible.”

Korea produces 50,000 tons of garbage per day.

If you add industrial waste to that, the amount grows exponentially.

No matter how digestible your slime mucus is, you will need that much slime mucus to digest that amount every day.

But judging by the current slime slime accumulation rate, even if I buy and collect all the slime slime that comes out of Korea in one year, it’s impossible.

After all, a year later, after the slime slime waste disposal business received attention, they had to fight fiercely with other latecomers to secure slime slime.

Of course, it is possible to gain an absolute advantage through the preemptive effect, but it is a disappointment.

I said, gazing again.

“What. You can’t be satisfied with the first drink.”

There is nothing I can do about the lack of physical slime slime supply.

If you greatly increase the unit price of slime slime to get the attention of hunters, you can increase the supply, but the problem is money.

Even now, most of my income is invested in purchasing slime slime, so how do I raise the unit price further?

“I want to do the garbage disposal business at the same time, but I can’t.”

How great would it be if we not only piled up slime in the warehouse as we do now, but also started the garbage disposal business and swept up the money.

If that happens, additional income will be generated, so a virtuous cycle structure is completed in which the unit price of slime increases to increase the supply, and more waste is processed with the increased supply.

But there are two fatal problems with this. The first is that it’s illegal.

It has been a year since slime slime has been publicly discussed and registered as an official treatment method.

In other words, it is illegal to dispose of garbage using slime slime right now.

It is also a crime related to the environment that everyone reacts to sensitively, so it is a serious crime that may result in a sentence of imprisonment and imprisonment.

The second issue was security.

The garbage disposal method using slime slime did not require special skills.

Just throw crystals into the slime slime to restore digestion, then pour the trash and that’s it.

Unless I do everything myself, I have no choice but to use people, but what if information is leaked?

That might lead to an early slime slime boom.

“You cannot cut the goose that lays the golden eggs. Let’s gather quietly and wait for the time.”

Once you have reached that conclusion, the moment you start to focus on your work again, other worries do not leave your mind.

I thought for a while and said.

“Now that I see it, this is a real problem.”

Just a security issue.

Even though it’s slime, I have to carry out countless dungeon businesses in the future, but it’s not like I can’t do everything myself every time.

If that’s the case, then I have to hire a reliable employee to do the work for me…

I said with a frown on my face.

“Reliable staff?”

Someone with a big mouth that never leaks my information to the outside and even works hard on my behalf?

Does such a thing exist in the world?

I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined it.

“The boss suddenly gave me a crystal and asked me to dispose of the trash using slime. And the boss makes a lot of money.”

What should I do in such a situation?

I said with a bitter smile.

“… either they sold off the information, or they would gather investors and try to run my own business.”

I’m making a lot of money with a non-trivial technology, but wouldn’t I be the first to think about what I can’t do?

Of course, you have to do it if you give it a bunch of money, but the limits of money transactions that are not based on trust are clear.

I pondered for a moment and sighed.

“For now, pass.”

Trust doesn’t suddenly fall from the sky, so no matter how much you think about it right now, you can’t think of a sharp number.

If there is a smart person among the employees, try to raise them or give them a huge amount of money to build trust that was not really there, and anything happens.

“For now, let’s focus on collecting slime.”

The slime slime that is gradually accumulating.

Large containers brought for storage fill up quickly.

I gasped at the huge warehouse that was built up on my land in the distance.

“If we get that back, our worries about storage will disappear completely.”

A supply warehouse built by the military on my land.

Unlike at the time when thousands of troops formed a wide siege around the gate, only a few hundred men remained near the gate.

Naturally, it was built according to the situation at that time, and although the military thinks that the utility has dropped a lot, the frequency of use has decreased, but it is still in use.

As it is a military facility, the security is thorough and the size is quite large, so I really like it, but at the time of the agreement, I said in the contract that I would never take issue with it.

Of course, there was a way to make the contract invalid by litigation, but…

“…for now, I will continue to do it like it is now.”

It’s kind of hard to start a lawsuit with the military just to get a warehouse.

Then I knocked on the office door and an employee came in and said,

“president. I got a call from Seongbuk-gu.”

“What contact?”

“Can you raise the unit price a bit?”

If you raise it more, it will cost more, but if it is too cheap, hunters will turn away, so 5,000 won was just the right middle price.

I thought it was a common inquiry about unit price adjustment that I received when I was bored, so I said with a firm expression.

“The unit price is unconditionally fixed at 5,000 won.

However, the employee said with a puzzled expression.

“That’s because another company offered 5,200 won and if you don’t raise the unit price further, they’ll sell it to you.”

Hearing that, I said with a puzzled expression.

“Yes? Did a company appear to buy slime slime?”

The emergence of a competitor that buys slime slime other than me.

As soon as I heard from the staff, I contacted other dungeon vendors and was able to find out about the company.

“It’s Daehyun…”

What are these bastards doing all of a sudden to get in the way?

Crystals haven’t been released on the market yet, so it’s not likely that you’ve figured out a way to dispose of waste using slime slime.

“Is there a way to use slime slime that I don’t know?”

I thought about it for a moment, but there was no other place where slime slime was used other than to dispose of garbage.

“No, it’s useless garbage without crystals, so why the hell is this?”

Right now, I’m not in a situation where I’m in a situation where I’m just rushing into money thinking that I’m investing too.

How about raising the unit price by a few hundred won a little more?

there is nothing you can’t do

But, will it all be resolved by raising the unit price once?

After raising the price to 5,200 won, Daehyun might raise the unit price again.

We need to figure out why Daehyun collects slime mucus to come up with a fundamental solution.

After thinking for a while, I dialed the phone number I received from the merchant.

– This is Daehyun.

“Nice to meet you. Are you buying slime slime?”

-Yes. We purchase all of them at KRW 5,200 per kg.

“okay? It’s quite a lot, is it okay?”

– How much do you have?

I said with a smile.

“I don’t know exactly, but it’s roughly over a hundred tons, right?”

-Where are you calling from?

“This is Dangjin. I am Jeong In-soo.”

If I had just said this, I would have understood.

“I want to talk to the boss, but are you the boss?”

-Uh…that’s it. Wait.

After a moment of commotion, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard.

-Nice to meet you. Mr. Jung. This is Daehyun Kim, president of Daehyun.

“Daehyun’s first name is Daehyun. You must have very strong self-love.”

-haha. I hear a lot of stories like that. Anyway, nice to contact you. If not, I was wondering who you are.

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“okay? If we agree with each other, the story will be over soon. Let me ask you directly. Why are you buying them?”

Kim Dae-hyun, who was silent for a moment at my words, said.

– What about you, Mr. Jung?

“I would have asked first.”

-If you answer me first, I will answer you.

Are you kidding me now?

“I’m just buying and collecting so that I can eat and die.”

-···haha. You have a sense of humor.

Sense freezes to death.

“Then ask a different question. Where do you want to use it? It’s slime, so it’s cosmetics? It shouldn’t have acid. Not even edible.”

– There is a reason, so why not buy them?

Kim Dae-hyun continues to avoid words.

I said silent for a moment.

“Are you just going to buy one and see?”

-I do not know. I don’t think I have any reason to answer.

That’s right.

You bastard thought that there must be a reason for buying slime slime from all over the country, so he ran to it.

That’s why I set the price at 5,200 won, which is slightly higher than my unit price.

“okay? Then would you like to buy the slime slime I bought? The price is good though. How about a hundred tons?”

Kim Dae-hyun laughed at my words and said.

– You said you bought it so hard and then reselled it?

“Yes. I thought about 5,000 won, but whoever calls it higher should sell it. Isn’t that a trader? I don’t need it, so I’ll buy it all.”

I don’t really intend to sell it, but as I expected, if Daehyun followed me and just bought it, I’d get a reaction no matter what.

Unsurprisingly, Kim Dae-hyun said in a smiling voice.

– Why don’t you just let me know that this has happened before? this slime. Where are you writing? There’s no reason to buy it.

In the end, Kim Dae-hyun confesses everything.

“Slime slime is useless. I’m just buying it just in case.”

-okay? You’ve been collecting pretty hard for that. Where in the world are there merchants doing things that don’t make money? Why not join us instead? Although our Daehyun is small, we have some know-how and have good financial power. If you eat alone too much, you will get burned.

I was the one who made the Osan group finally give up.

If you eat and your stomach explodes, you die. Do you think you’ll hold hands with a guy like you?

“It’s done. It doesn’t seem to make any sense to keep calling. hang up.”

-for a moment···

I ended the call ignoring Kim Dae-hyun’s words, and I said, grinding my teeth.

“Anyway, there’s no way it’s going to go smoothly. great. Let’s try this, right?”
