How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

35 episodes

Literally a small urban development project that builds not only buildings, but also new roads and living infrastructure around Jungang-daero.

But, as with all things, disruptors were everywhere.

A man shouted loudly.

“No!!”

He was the president of a snack shop by renting a container house for commercial use.

“Hmm.”

I said with an expressionless face.

“It must have been specified in the contract.”

“Even so, it doesn’t mean you have to move blindly!”

I was planning to develop this land into a city from the beginning.

Of course, when giving the lease, the contract was also written so that there would be no problems in the case of redevelopment.

Is that the only one?

Because I have memories of what I had suffered in a previous life, I gave the utmost consideration to merchants who suffered losses from redevelopment.

“Are you saying this even though the monthly rent is reduced as much as the sudden relocation and even compensation for business loss?”

“I’m just going to shop here!”

Most of the merchants even said that they were grateful for my reward, but a man who endures as a stage prisoner.

“Are you doing this to get more rewards?”

The man said with an anger that he had been stabbed.

“Do you think I am doing this for money? I just want to do business here as it is now! If you move to the back, it will be inconvenient for regulars who have used my store to come to you!”

I said with a smile.

“It’s uncomfortable…”

The only people who use this shop are tourists who come to see the dungeon, our staff and family, and hunters.

There is no way tourists are regulars, so the regulars this man is talking about are the employees, his family, and the hunters, but the container house they live in will be relocated to the rear together with the shops until the building is completed.

In other words, this man’s words are excuses.

An excuse to rip even a single penny out of compensation.

Live, live, there comes a day when I will be ripped off.

“Anyway, are you saying you can’t do it before?”

“Yes! I will just do business here!”

At that moment, a deep, low-pitched voice was heard from somewhere.

“What’s going on, Mr. Jung?”

It was Jang Cheol-ho and his men.

Jang Cheol-ho approached me with ten men in suits.

“I came here because I thought something was going to happen.”

The face of the owner of a snack shop, who had been ripped off by the appearance of thugs, darkened noticeably.

“ah. It’s not a big deal, but he said he won’t relocate and will continue to do business here.”

Then Jang Cheol-ho said with a cold expression.

“It’s a bummer.”

Also, pretending to be a thug is pretending.

“Can I take care of it?”

At the word processing, the restaurant owner’s face turns pale.

“If that’s the case, it’s because I have teeth.”

After all, thugs are still very useful to ordinary people.

I said with a smile.

“Thank you, but it’s okay.”

“···All right. But if you really need anything to help, feel free to contact me.”

Then he turned around and looked at his subordinates and said,

“By the way, what are you doing? I didn’t say hello to the boss.”

Then the rice cakes greet me 90 degrees.

“hello! Boss Jung!”

I said with a smile.

“Yes. Hello.”

I’m usually polite, but it’s the first time I’ve received a 90-degree greeting.

Perhaps it was a kind of performance to put pressure on the restaurant boss.

Jang Cheol-ho.

He’s very good-natured and he’s quick-witted.

I mean, he’s a thug, and I really like him.

I was going to talk about the distribution of the profits of entertainment pubs soon, but I think it is okay to distribute it a little more generously.

At that time, the merchants who were around seemed to have felt the noise and started to murmur.

“What?”

“I guess the owner of the snack shop is not going to relocate.”

Then the head of the barber shop said with an absurd expression.

“What? The monthly rent was reduced and the compensation was generously paid, so why?”

“It’s obvious. President Jung has a lot of money, so it’s a masterpiece to extort money.”

“Wow. I really have no conscience.”

I looked at those merchants and said,

“Everyone, just in case, is there anyone else here who opposed you before like this boss?”

Then the merchants shook their heads and said,

“no! There is no other owner in the world who cares like this.”

“no!”

Fortunately, it seemed that the only merchant with this conscience was the owner of the restaurant.

“Fortunately, the.”

I turned to the restaurant manager and said.

“There is only one minute.”

I said with a smile.

“If there were more people, I would have felt sorry for several people.”

I shouted out loud.

“No compromise in my dictionary! Since this person refused to relocate, we will proceed with the legal process for breaching the contract, and we will proceed with construction except here. Instead, to the bosses who agreed before without words…”

I said with a smile.

“I will pay 1.5 times the promised compensation.”

To be honest, it’s overpriced.

Money that doesn’t matter if you don’t give it.

But the important thing is not the money, but the message I am sending.

Hue is the goat

Gold to those who obey me, and a mace to those who disobey me.

The more these images pile up, the heavier the weight of my words will be.

With that in mind, the small amount of money given to ten merchants is not at all wasted.

“One and a half times?”

“thank you! president!”

“In addition, after the redevelopment is completed, priority will be given to move-in to the shopping mall, and goodwill will also be guaranteed by applying the restrictions on the opening distance for the same type of business.”

It gives you all the benefits that a building owner can give you.

“Except for this boss, of course.”

I said looking at the shop owner with a pale complexion.

“Did you talk about regulars? But do you know that? All of those regulars are my employees, my family, and my close Awakeners.”

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“Let’s try it somewhere. Which of us is more virulent?”

In the end, the restaurant owner became the second public enemy in the village after Lee Jae-woon.

On the charge of trying to use what I cared for.

Not only the employees, but also the merchants, swearing at them would probably kill them.

He came to me quietly once in the middle and wanted to agree with me before, but in this case, you have to set an example so that the same thing doesn’t happen again.

He flatly refused and returned it.

For now, I’m still running a snack bar, but it probably won’t last long.

But even the dungeon goods market merchants would be in trouble if they came out like that.

“… I was planning to post an announcement soon and recruit merchants.”

In our country, various laws are in place to protect landlords.

Even though I clearly reminded myself of the contents of the contract, it was because of the Tenant Protection Act that the owner of the restaurant was brute force.

Any good way?

How to stop even thinking of rebelling against me.

“Hmm, wait a minute. Do I really need to rent a store? You were going to get a certain percentage of sales instead of monthly rent anyway.”

I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.

“Yes, this is it.”

Jaejin Lee came up to me in a wheelchair and said,

“All the merchants have gathered.”

“okay?”

I got up from my seat and went outside.

Merchants from all over the world gathered after seeing the announcement I posted.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jeong In-soo.”

The merchants applauded at my greeting.

“Nice to meet you! Boss Jung!”

I said with a smile.

“As you may know from the announcement, I am planning to open the gate goods business that I used to monopolize.”

Then the merchants cheered and said,

“Oh oh!! Dangjin is finally here!!”

“You really made a big decision!”

Currently, all three dungeons except Dangjin are saturated with merchants.

However, it was natural for merchants to receive a lot of attention to open the Dangjin gate business, which I had monopolized by myself.

“I plan to open and operate a large shopping mall in the future, but it will take time to complete, so for the time being, I plan to rent a container house near the gate over there to merchants. You can trade the gate items brought by the Awoken over there.”

The first dungeon goods market established in Dangjin Dungeon.

Then a merchant raised his hand and said,

“What is the rent?”

Of course, that would be the most interesting.

“Rent is…”

I said with a smile.

“There is not.”

“Yes?!”

As you can see from the case of the restaurant owner, if I rent the space itself, there are restrictions on my actions.

It’s true that I’m stepping on the boss of the restaurant, but the construction has been disrupted.

But if it’s a way of lending rights rather than space, it’s a different story.

“This market is going to be a little different from other places. First of all, instead of signing a rental contract, I plan to make individual contracts with each of the bosses as a freelancer.”

The merchants said with a puzzled expression.

“Are you signing a contract as a freelancer?”

“What do you mean? Are you going to give me a salary?”

I said with a smile.

“Simply put, it’s going to take the form of being hired as a sales person. Of course, only the form is the same, but the way it operates is the same as in other places. Open a supply store and trade with hunters and companies to make a profit. Instead, I’m going to get 5% of the total sales in return for providing you with a place of business.”

Only then did the merchants understand what I was saying.

“Ahh. Instead of rent, you get paid as a percentage?”

“Isn’t that bad? The less you earn, the less you pay.”

At that time, a merchant said with a disgusted expression.

“By the way, if it’s a freelance contract, you don’t know when the contract will be terminated. And breaking the contract means you will be kicked out.”

Only then did the merchants realize the pitfalls of my condition.

“…that’s right.”

“This is dangerous.”

okay.

Not dangerous.

I don’t know when it will happen.

However.

“Instead, I will definitely guarantee goodwill.”

If a benefit that outweighs even the risk is guaranteed, then people have no choice but to move.

“Currently, the average number of hunters residing at Dangjin Gate is 350. It’s a small number compared to other gates. So I…”

I said with a smile.

“We plan to limit the number of resident stores to 20.”

The reaction of the merchants was explosive.

“crazy. Only 20!?”

It is common sense in this world that a monthly salary is guaranteed even if you catch only one hunter well.

So, if you add the wanderers who are sneaking around to have a drink near some gates, there are more merchants than Hunters.

By the way, there are only 20 stores for 350 people.

“Besides, the store I’m running is also going to close. In other words.”

I said with a smile.

“It means you only have to compete with yourself. Only 20 stores with 350 hunters.”

Dangjin Dungeon Market is an unstable and dangerous place.

But once you enter, you are guaranteed an overwhelming profit.

It was the appearance of the Dangjin dungeon market that I wanted to make.

And as I hold the absolute right to appoint the position, I will become a ambassador of merchants and a jaeshin at the same time.

Those who have a seat must keep an eye on me in order to keep their place, and those who do not have a seat bow to me in order to take it.

Where else could there be a more perfect market?

If you just want to make money, it is much more profitable to just pay monthly rent and receive merchants indiscriminately.

But if you do that, you will just become a regular rental trader.

Normal merchants do not know, but the dungeon market merchants should be perfectly controlled.

The merchants fell into a crucible of excitement.

“I’ll do it!!”

“I will close the store in Seongbuk-gu and come back!!!”

I said with a smile.

“ruler. ruler. Please calm down and submit the application first as it is a freelance employment method. We will review it carefully and contact you later.”

I will make this land my kingdom.

My own kingdom that no one can resist.
