How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

225 episodes

The anxiety that had been amplified as rumors of Pan-ho’s injury or death circulated completely exploded when Pan-ho Jang, who had been active in pressuring the opposition through the media every few days, suddenly disappeared from public view.

Not many, but enough to cause people to flee abroad for fear of war.

To be honest, even if Kim Yi-ryeong wins the lottery, the chances of war are quite low.

No matter how angry Kim Yi-ryeong is, if he attacks Korea, the world’s most powerful nation, the United States, automatically enters the war. Is that an easy choice?

However, no matter how low the probability is, once a war breaks out, it is clear that there will be enormous damage to human life and assets regardless of victory or defeat.

Of course, it’s also thanks to the hard work I fanned to make it look like that.

Anyway, when the situation became like this, the Ministry of National Defense desperately appealed to the people that the current situation was okay in order to calm the confusion, but I am not the one to sit and watch it.

“Good good.”

The Ministry of National Defense tries to convey the advantage of the battlefield situation by using the information it received from the Hunter Special Forces it dispatched, but it is never my opponent in terms of the quality and quantity of information.

In the first place, the government and the Ministry of National Defense do not know exactly whether Jang Pan-ho is really safe or not.

The Ministry of National Defense completely lost its credibility when I continued to spread content that contradicted the defense ministry’s claims and even included evidence.

As the situation unfolded, Korea began to freeze more and more.

There is no direct economic impact, but money, the bloodline of the economy, has stopped.

As an individual, it is enough to save money by not spending it, but for companies that have to keep rolling money, it is the worst situation.

Companies with a lot of cash, like the Jeongin Group and other strong conglomerates, can survive, but those that don’t are all pushed to the brink.

Companies put what they have on the market to somehow get money, but the already frozen market didn’t pay any attention to what they put out and, of course, the price plummeted.

So, things are starting to come out more and more cheaply.

“Do you want to live now?”

I thought for a moment, then shook my head and said.

“no. Let’s wait a little longer.”

‘Cause there’s still time

“By the way, China is really shameless.”

As a result of interrogation of captured hunters in Pyongyang, they were two of China’s famous guilds.

Of course, the secret guilds that the Chinese government was raising were obvious.

As Pan-ho Jang’s side, South Korea, and the U.S. began to accuse China, China immediately began to brazenly cover up.

They came out as if they were just people who got up from the crisis of their brother country, North Korea, and had nothing to do with the Chinese government.

In the meantime, China demanded repatriation, saying that they are nationals of their own country and that even if they punish them, they should do it in their own country.

“Still, it’s going to hurt a little.”

In both guilds, more than half of the hunters lost their lives or were captured in the process of fighting and escaping.

The two guilds that the Chinese government has cherished and nurtured have been destroyed.

“For once, hold on to it and eat it slowly… .”

Then an extension call comes in.

-President.

“Please speak.”

-AN Group, the final bankruptcy has been processed.

AN, who had endured by selling the president’s personal property at a low price, was eventually unable to handle the continued debt feast and went bankrupt.

-It is said that it was unable to process 32 billion bills.

under.

A market cap of 13 trillion won collapses at only 32 billion won.

Of course, it was because the situation of the AN group was so bad, but frankly, if it hadn’t been for this situation, they would have lived longer.

-What should I do. President.

“For now, keep an eye on it.”

-All right.

After the call, I said with a smile.

“Cash is the best.”

The bankruptcy of large corporations does not end with a single large corporation problem.

Subcontractors and customers of large corporations and other companies associated with them.

The aftermath will hit the Korean economy one after another, and it will be a huge blow to the Korean economy.

Of course, it will not go as far as a national crisis like the IMF, but at least the local economy at the base of the AN Group will be sufficiently devastated.

In this way, they notice their intention to take over at a more appropriate timing and buy at a bargain price.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Come on, shake more. more and more.”

* * *

Starting with AN Group, more and more companies are struggling.

In order to survive, they put their assets and affiliates to the market to secure cash, but the market was cold.

That’s how companies go wild.

A glimmer of hope fell on them.

Pan-ho Jang, who had suffered from rumors of his death, appeared again in public.

For the first time since the civil war, people breathe a sigh of relief at the hopeful news.

When Pan-ho Jang appeared again, the civil war intensified, and all kinds of news made their ears dizzy.

The hunters who attacked Pyongyang have joined the opposition and are resisting fiercely, and news continues to spread that Jang Pan-ho’s unit is losing battles.

It was at that time when the situation did not improve even with the appearance of Jang Pan-ho, and everyone got their heads together.

I joined the business world as a relief pitcher.

“Chairman Lim, you are thinking of selling Taewoong Heavy Equipment.”

At my words, Chairman Lim sighed and said.

“There was nothing I could do about the situation. If the amount is right… I’m thinking of selling it.”

“How much are you thinking?”

Chairman Lim looked at me intently and said.

“How much can I give you?”

Would you like to try wheat flour?

I’m sorry, but I’m at the top right now.

“Taewoong Heavy Equipment is a pretty good company. One of the main affiliates of Taewoong Group. Not long ago, the stock price went up considerably because I thought that the demand for heavy equipment would increase due to the reconciliation with North Korea. But now… .”

“Uh… .”

However, with the outbreak of the North Korean civil war, expectations for North Korean development were not enough, and the stock price fell sharply due to various adverse events.

Of course, if Pan-Ho Jang wins, it is certain that he will benefit the most than any other company, but based on the information that has been released now, Pan-Ho Jang is running at a disadvantage.

“I’ll give you one set.”

Then Chairman Lim bit his lip and said.

“group 1… .”

Chairman Lim knows best how much damage it is to sell Taewoong Heavy Equipment now.

However, the problem is that other affiliates are also shaking right now.

Chairman Lim was standing at a crossroads where he had to choose between selling Taewoong Heavy Equipment, a net affiliate, to protect the rest, or to take everything and collapse completely like AN.

In the end, Chairman Lim said.

“One set is too few. No matter how hard I try, I have to receive 1.5 trillion won.”

If it were normal, Chairman Lim would not have sold even if he called for 2 trillion, let alone 1.5 trillion won.

This alone is already a huge benefit, but at times like this, we need to eat more thoroughly.

“good. Then one trillion and one thousand.”

“It’s too little… .”

“Instead, I will give you a lump sum payment in full. There is no such thing as giving in stock or in installments, all in cash. President, you know that, right? What a power it is to have cash in a situation like this.”

President Lim’s pupils shook at my words.

“All… cash?”

“Yes. We can shoot right away without taking out a loan.”

Chairman Lim looked at me and said.

“How much cash do you have?”

“Well… quite a lot? Well, that’s our internal situation, so I can’t say for sure. Anyway.”

I looked at Chairman Lim with a meaningful expression and said.

“Chairman, there are many things that come out at low prices, regardless of whether it is real estate or anything. At this point, it would be a huge profit to just have the cash and buy them all when you see signs of improvement.”

“Uh… .”

“Well, if you refuse, there is nothing I can do. There are many companies that do not have to be Taewoong heavy machinery.”

Chairman Lim, who was repeating django at my words, said.

“1.2 trillion won. Instead, a full cash lump sum payment.”

Add 100 billion won… .

Well, it’s not bad at all.

I nodded willingly.

“good.”

“When are you going to do the due diligence?”

“Let’s start right away.”

Finish as quickly as possible in a short time.

In the original case, it is fundamental to obtain accurate information through thorough due diligence on the company to be acquired.

Is there any accounting problem, is there an excessive amount of assets due to insolvent assets, etc.?

But now, the prices of all assets have already fallen anyway, and I have to finish shopping before the civil war ends, so I’ll simplify the acquisition as much as possible.

People think that Jang Pan-ho is at a disadvantage now, but the reality is completely different.

The Chinese hunters, astonished by Pan-ho’s incredible skills, joined the opposition to see if he gained confidence after Pan-ho disappeared with rumors of an injury, but when Pan-ho Jang reappeared after a promised month, he ran away one after another in fear.

The entire civil war will probably be over within a month at the most.

So, before that, you should finish your shopping.

I shook hands with Chairman Lim and said.

“It was a good deal.”

* * *

Starting with Taewoong Heavy Equipment, he acquired various assets at a much lower price, starting with companies that would not normally have appeared on the market at all.

At that time, he continued his frantic takeover.

-The 11th Corps, the core of the opposition, surrendered, and everything near the border… .

Pan-ho Jang’s victory began to be known through the Ministry of National Defense.

I said, gazing again.

“That’s it.”

The end of a large-scale civil war that lasted as long as three months begins to be seen.

We have been working hard to sabotage, but since the border area is a place where South Korea and the United States are paying close attention, we cannot hide that information.

The fact that the area near the border where the largest number of troops were stationed has been cleared up means that virtually all that are left are the remnants.

In fact, it was nothing more than a declaration of victory for Pan-ho Jang.

“Well, it was still good.”

People who sold companies or assets to me at a low price will be furious, but it’s true that all of those companies survived because I gave them money right away.

I said with a smirk.

“Who can chime in with this?”

The Jung-in group took over companies indiscriminately as if they knew in advance that the civil war would end.

someone will tell

I wonder if the Jungin group used the information to take unfair advantage.

But there is no evidence to support that.

It’s not like I started a civil war by saying nothing.

“Now, all that’s left is how to hand this over to Jang Pan-ho and his aides naturally?”

From Pan-ho Jang’s point of view, it would seem that only the Jung-in group took advantage of the civil war he had caused with Heuk-ho.

It is said that the Jung-in group, which is hostile to the Black Tiger, is taking advantage of the Black Tiger’s strategy… It’s definitely weird.

But, haven’t you laid enough ground rice before then?

“Someone leaked information. And the Jung-in group got it and hit the player.”

Heuk-ho continued to tell Jang Pan-ho that the movement of the Jung-in group did not make sense.

I even made Jang Pan-ho play an injury and searched for it enthusiastically.

“I’ll have to frame someone roughly and finish it.”

Now all that’s left is to finish.

“It’s an AN that has already passed, you just have to pick it up slowly and put it in. In fact, South Korea is over and we just need to finish North Korea well… ah.”

Korean civilian hunters still remaining in Pyongyang.

I pondered for a moment, then opened my eyes and said.

“Are you going to make it a name on this occasion?”

From the beginning, the hunters of the Black Tiger were considered as promising prospects in their respective guilds.

But now, he intervened in the civil war and made a great contribution to the victory of Jang Pan-ho, making him a hero who prevented the war.

Although ordinary people hate Hunters, it is not true that, thanks to them, Jang Pan-ho survived and the threat of war disappeared.

What if you go beyond the prospects and build personal awareness to make each guild’s face madam level?

I said with my eyes shining.

“Are you okay?”

* * *

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!”

A victory banquet hosted by Jang Pan-ho, who became the real ruler of North Korea after winning the civil war.

Even if it wasn’t, he was in real power, not only winning the civil war, but also showing overwhelming force in battle.

Thanks to this, all the influential people who struggled between the opposition and Pan-ho Jang attend a banquet to get each other’s attention, and rub their hands and feet to Pan-ho Jang and his aides and tremble.

“You are also Captain Jang.”

Even one of the most powerful members of the party, who was a member of the party’s State Council, crouched and said to Jang Pan-ho.

“My heart swells when I think of the republic that will develop under the leadership of Captain Jang.”

“Youngdo. You have a receiving comrade.”

Jang Pan-ho takes a step back by selling Kim Yi-ryeong as usual.

But now things are completely different.

“Of course, there are comrade leaders, but isn’t it Captain Jang who leads such comrades?”

A member of the State Council openly expressing that he leads Kim Yi-ryeong.

Pan-ho Jang raised the corners of his lips at the State Councilor’s words and said.

“Isn’t that an insult to the leader comrade?”

At Pan-ho Jang’s words, the State Councilor said with a bewildered expression.

“No, I just… uh… .”

Seeing that, Pan-ho Jang burst out laughing and said.

“It’s a joke! joke. ha ha ha!”

“Gee, are you okay? ha ha ha.”

“Come on, have fun. I have prepared a lot of food.”

Pan-ho Jang, passing the State Councilor and crossing the banquet hall.

“Comrade Captain Jang!”

“Captain Jang!”

Pan-ho Jang thought as he looked at the appearance of such flattery men.

‘Now I am the real leader of this republic.’

At this point, the symbolism of Kim Yi-ryeong is no longer important.

‘I had to leave all the positions to me at the right time.’

All that remains now is a peaceful succession to the throne.

But then.

“Well?”

The satellite phone I always carry in my arms rings.

Pan-ho Jang said, beckoning to the people who gathered around him.

“I have some business to see.”

Pan-ho Jang, who moved to the place behind the banquet hall, leaving behind the disappointing faces of the people who had gathered to be noticed, answered a satellite phone call and said:

“This is Pan-ho Jang.”

-Congratulations, Captain Jang.

“no. It is thanks to the president’s help.”

– I was just helping out a little. haha. Anyway, I have something to tell you, so I called. who stole information. I figured it out.

At that, Pan-ho Jang said with a firm expression.

“Really?”

Did someone really leak information about North Korea to Jung In-soo?

Images of his aides flashed through Jang Pan-ho’s mind.

‘Who is it? Who betrayed you?’

-The traitor is one of the top members of the party, a member of the council.

Jang Pan-ho was surprised when the name of someone other than his close aide was mentioned.

“Are you talking about the former senator?”

-Yes. Rep. Koo was providing information to Insoo Jung.

Rep. Koo was one of the highest ranks of the revolution, who changed relatively quickly to Jang Pan-ho’s side from the beginning of the revolution.

And at the same time, he was a man who lost his life in the attack of the opposing party who had been hiding while inspecting the area occupied by Jang Pan-ho’s army a while ago.

“Then please… .”

-Yes. We passed on the information of the former member of the council and killed them.

Pan-ho Jang thought with a shocked expression.

‘Have you already had an organization in the republic to that extent?’

Pan-ho Jang, who had been silent for a moment, shook his head violently and thought.

‘no. For now, that’s not what’s urgent.’

“Why is the former member like that?”

-Rep. Gu was taking huge financial gains in return for providing information to Jung In-soo.

“By the way, didn’t the president say that the information came from me or my close associates? Otherwise, it makes no sense.”

– That was the weak point. I said that because I thought this situation was a black tiger and at the same time something that could only be done by high-ranking North Koreans… .

“The former congressman doesn’t know that we are black tigers.”

-That’s right. However, Jung In-soo seems to have inferred that we are working in North Korea based on the information provided by Rep. Koo. And based on that, we must have estimated our movements. And because that estimate was correct, they mistakenly thought that the North Korean high-ranking people from the Black Lake had betrayed him.

Jang Pan-ho shook his head and said.

“What the hell is… .”

– We apologize as this happened due to our misunderstanding.

I have a lot of questions, but it’s not like anyone else and the president is sorry, but I can’t say anything anymore.

“Ah, I’m glad you found the traitor anyway. Betrayal just for money. Ganna baby.”

-Originally, I thought about removing it first, but the opportunity for natural treatment came… . From now on, we’ll talk with Captain Jang in advance and move on.

“thank you.”

-All the wealth collected by the former member of the council has been recovered, and all the strings are cut and cleaned so that the chief of the department will not have to worry about it. So, enjoy the banquet.

The chairman, who was about to finish the call, said as if he had remembered something.

– Oh, I forgot to mention this.

“Say it.”

-Aren’t there those Korean hunters? who helped in the Battle of Pyongyang.

“Yes.”

– You’ll have to float them a bit.

* * *

woo woo woo.

The plane finally took off from Pyongyang Airport.

It was a charter flight sent from South Korea to repatriate the hunters who had stayed in Pyongyang for the past due to the threat of anti-aircraft guns.

“Finally going to Korea.”

“ha.”

“I came here just to make more money and go sightseeing, but I didn’t expect it to be this long.”

Then a Hunter said.

“Isn’t that okay though?”

Hunter said with a smirk.

“Captain Jang praised him so much that his saliva dried up in his mouth.”

Pan-ho Jang’s victory declaration speech, which ended the civil war with victory.

In the speech that drew many people’s attention, Pan-ho Jang praised the Korean hunter who helped them in the Battle of Pyongyang, along with the promise of denuclearization.

Without their voluntary help, the battle would have been lost.

Pan-ho Jang, who expressed the Korean hunters as if they were heroes of national salvation, uttered rhetoric peculiar to North Korea, such as they are great heroes who kept the peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Then a hunter scratched his head and said,

“But you didn’t really do anything. Isn’t Captain Jang practically done?”

“Still, we were able to make a decision thanks to the attack from behind.”

Then he looked at Yujisu and said.

“Isn’t it, comrade Yujisu Revolution?”

At the words of Hunter, Yujisu frowned and said.

“What is a revolutionary comrade? I am not a redneck.”

“You mentioned your name almost four or five times?”

In particular, Jang Pan-ho praised Yoo Ji-soo several times, referring to him as a person no different from a revolutionary comrade.

“And in fact, I wouldn’t have gone without you.”

“It is.”

“Hey, I’m also a revolutionary comrade. The hero who stopped the war!”

Yujisu looked at the Hunter and said.

“stop. Before you smash your snout.”

The hunters shut their mouths at Yujisu’s words.

Yoo Ji-soo looked out the window again and thought.

‘He’s a hero of our country… .’

It is true that he persuaded the Hunters and dragged them away by force.

However, even so, Pan-ho Jang’s reaction is not excessive, almost exaggerating to the point that Kim Yi-ryeong’s father and grandfather use the Chukjibeop.

Yoo Ji-soo realized that Jang Pan-ho’s reaction.

‘perhaps… I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t just help Jang Pan-ho for profit, but because there were people in our organization at the top level of North Korea. Or, they have been intervening since the time of the coup.’

North Korea is also a black tiger’s sphere of influence.

‘The more you know the better. By the way, why are you floating me?’

While I’m so immersed in my thoughts.

“It’s Incheon Airport!!”

Finally arrived at Incheon International Airport.

The hunters were happy to pack their luggage and quickly got off the plane and headed for the departure hall.

That moment when I arrived at the departure hall.

“Wow!!”

“Look here!”

Reporters flocked in like a crowd.

“How do you feel when Captain Jang Pan-ho is the hero of our country?”

“Why did you make such a choice at that moment… .”

Seeing such reporters, Yoo Ji-soo muttered softly.

“What the f*ck is this… .”

Then someone appeared while walking through the reporters.

“It’s Jisoo!!”

It was the deputy chief of the Firebird Guild.

Yujisu waved his hand and said.

“braided… No, the Vice Guild. long time no see.”

The deputy chief approached with a smile and whispered quietly.

“Be careful. Can’t you see the reporters?”

“I have eyes and I can see them.”

“I’m here to investigate you. especially you.”

“Hey, damn ears… .”

The deputy guild leader said while covering the mouth of Yujisu.

“Smile, laugh. In this case, you should also do image making. The hero who stopped the war. The title is good.”

At the words of the vice guild leader, Yoo Ji-soo forced a smile and said.

“Oh, yes.”

The deputy chief kept a business smile and turned to the reporters.

“Come on, let’s go, Jisoo. The pride of our Firebird Guild.”

“Wow! Why are you cringing? .”

“Just don’t say anything. Say nothing.”

The Korean hunters who returned to the Golden Return.

And the main characters were the Hunters of the Black Tiger.
