How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

41 episodes

The guild leader of the YF Guild, Yoon So-ra, was a great heroine.

In the early days of awakening, when both men and women were reluctant to enter the gate, they took the lead and cooperated with the government to explore the gate.

Then, when the existence of the crystal stone was revealed, the first hunter who actively participated in the Awakening Boycott was Yoon So-ra.

Naturally, there were many acquaintances around her, and the YF Guild was formed in that way.

Yoon So-ra said with a worried expression.

“…too many Awoken.”

The YF Guild returned to the original Seongbuk-gu gate when the price dropped to tens of thousands of won due to the continuous release of special weapons.

The advantage of being in Seoul is convenient transportation, but the problem was that there were too many awakened people.

The Awakenings, which barely exceeded 3,000, broke through the 4,000 in just a few months, and most of the Awakeneds that increased were settled in the gates of Seongbuk-gu.

Of course, the entrance to the Seongbuk-gu gate was full of awakenings, and the hunting efficiency was inevitably lowered that much.

The only alternative is to use an outpost, which is also saturated.

Lee Joon-young, a colleague, said.

“Guild Master. Shall we also build an outpost?”

“Will that be effective? Who will drive the car?”

“Just like Dangjin, we can hire Awakened people.”

“Hmm…”

After thinking for a while, Sora Yoon shook her head and said.

“no. Our staff alone will not be effective.”

YF Guild has 30 guild members.

“If there were about 100 of us, the cycle would run while the truck continued to roll, but with 30 people… it’s a bit vague.”

“Then, shall we make it together with another guild?”

“That’s fine. Shall we seriously think about it?”

Park Yu-jin, who was quiet at that time, said.

“Why don’t we move our base altogether?”

“Base?”

“uh. I told you before. Dangjin.”

Then, Lee Joon-young said with a frown.

“You want to go there? There’s only a container house there, so let’s do something. There is nothing to play around. I am the opposite.”

Then Park Yu-jin shook her head and said.

“Go, it’s not necessarily like that. I heard that there were just a lot of buildings built there, and they said that it was changed to be livable?”

“It’s Dangjin…”

Yoon So-ra said with an interesting expression.

“Would you like to go to Kim after talking?”

Lee Joon-young said with a surprised expression.

“Is this Dangjin?”

Although it is not high-rise, there are dozens of new buildings that are neatly made and well-maintained roads.

“When I came here, it was just a paddy field…?”

“I did. It’s changed to be livable.”

YF guild members walking along the road towards Dangjin Gate.

Yoon So-ra said with an interesting expression.

“Hmm.”

The scale itself is not that big.

But the market located right in front of the gate and the various shops that follow it.

Sora Yoon pointed to the store with her hand and said.

“Junyoung-ah. It’s your favorite place.”

“uh? room? crazy. Do you have a room here?!”

Lee Joon-young, who had a surprised expression on his face, immediately shook his head and said.

“no. To call it a room in a gang like this would be quite obvious.”

Yoon So-ra ignored Lee Joon-young, who was murmuring, and muttered.

“Is this… much better than I thought?”

Most of the gates are filled with all kinds of merchants, not to mention the Seongbuk-gu dungeon that appeared in the middle of downtown Seoul.

Naturally, the living environment around the gate is not very good.

But it was different here.

“After hunting, we stop at the market to sell, then we stop at a restaurant to eat, then go back to our dorm and rest…”

It is neatly filled with only the facilities that the hunter needs.

In other words, if you walk along this road after hunting, you will be able to meet all the needs of the Awakened.

It was indeed a small city, but it was a city optimized for awakening and gates.

Lee Joon-young, who continued to ignore Dangjin, said while grunting.

“Still, it’s good to have fewer merchants. It was a job to go through the crowd every time.”

After all, the YF guild signed a contract with a company and systematically brought and sold goods, so even though there was no need to trade with the merchants, the merchants always did not give up and rushed.

However, it is surprising that there is only one market here and there are no such vendors.

“You can hunt here on weekdays and go up on the weekends… no. Actually, is this enough for me to just keep living here?”

Yoon So-ra looked at Park Yu-jin and said.

“Is this the land of Dangjin Jeongsajang?”

“yes.”

“Hmm… Shall we meet again?”

YF Guild.

It was a pretty good guild among the early guilds.

But it didn’t end well.

The first D-class dungeon created in Korea.

E-class dungeons are slightly more difficult than F-class dungeons, but from D-class, the level suddenly jumps.

“The city is fine.”

I smiled at Yoon So-ra’s words and said.

“thank you.”

“Can you introduce yourself?”

“Sure.”

I began to briefly describe the city.

“The building is all new, so TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, etc. are provided as full options, and everything necessary for living is provided. In other words, we provide the best environment for Awakened people to focus on hunting.”

Yoon So-ra said while stroking her chin.

“It’s okay…”

“Is that all? Through thorough contracts and management, we are managing transparently by eradicating all merchants and maintaining the optimal number of merchants.”

“I saw that too. I really like that.”

I said with a smile.

“Excuse me, but can I know how many guild members there are?”

“It’s 30 people.”

“30 people. That’s great.”

I said with a bright smile.

“Even so, I was thinking of adding a Dangjin Gate forward base this time, but it would be just right. If you wish…”

I said in a quiet voice.

“First of all, we can arrange for you. Of course, it will cost a little more.”

Yoon So-ra said with a smile.

“I really like that.”

Yoon So-ra got up from her seat and said.

“Anyway, thanks for the introduction. Let’s think positively. I should go back and discuss it with the guild members.”

It’s an early guild, so it’s definitely different.

Talk to the guild member?

It’s still pretty pure.

If the guild leader wears it, it’s a beggar’s top.

“I will go. president.”

“Yes. Please go in carefully.”

So, after seeing Sora Yoon and her companions off, I sat down and said.

“I think you are lucky.”

In my previous life, it was a dismantling tag, but as long as you’re my guest, at least I have to make sure that the same thing doesn’t happen.

Workers diligently dig for minerals and sell them so that I can make money.

“Did you say 30 people? Then 30 officetels. Will I get a monthly rent…

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said.

“No. It’s a shame that Hunters hate it just to get a few more bucks. Let’s just get it a little more expensive.”

I said with a smile.

“If the YF Guild also comes, now there are 450.”

As the buildings were completed one by one, the number of hunters gradually increased, and now it increased to 450.

Of course, my income also increased.

It will probably increase further in the future.

“I think we can hire a few more merchants.”

Then, a loud noise began to be heard outside.

“Illusion!!”

“for a moment. for a moment! Sorry! So please!!”

“no! Because of you, we can’t even use Dumtang!”

“I will never do it again! really!!”

“shut up!”

and the sound of knocking.

smart.

“Come on in.”

The door opened at my words, and several merchants from the dungeon goods market dragged a merchant inside and said,

“president!”

“Yes.”

what’s going on

You must have been very excited.

A merchant said, pointing to the merchant who had been dragged.

“Izashik was doing a back deal with the Awakened!”

A special tax of 25% is added to items brought by hunters from the dungeon.

Basically, it calculates the profit earned by the hunter through receipts and transaction history, but this has many loopholes.

At the gate guarded by the military, measure the total weight of items excluding crystals, and if the weight matches the receipt issued by the store, that’s it.

Of course, the government understands the situation.

I would like to measure the weight of each item and collect the correct tax, but if there are only one or two items, measure them one by one and in what time period do the work be done.

So, I have no choice but to choose such a conservative approach.

Because of this, it was common for hunters to negotiate with the shop owner and make back deals.

For example, if the goods you bring are expensive, they will disguise them as cheap ones and issue a receipt.

And pay the difference in cash.

Once the weight is right, there is nothing legally wrong with it.

The way I used to do it a lot in my previous life.

But it should also be done in moderation.

I looked at the ledger that the merchant brought and said with a puzzled expression.

“100 kg of claws? Are you crazy? What crazy awakening person walks around and plucks only monster claws?”

“That…that…”

“Aren’t you thinking? Did you think this wouldn’t work?”

“crime. sorry. I just did it a few times, but the Awakened just asked me…”

“Are you going to do that? Don’t you know that if you catch this, you’re avoiding me too?”

I continued to look into the ledger and said.

“Where is the crystallite transaction history?”

Then, the merchant is startled.

“chaff. Is it a crystal?”

The reason that only items excluding crystallites are weighed at the gateway is because the price of crystallites is so high that they are managed individually.

But where is the end of human greed?

Many hunters secretly put crystals between items and trade them without tax.

Of course, if they had done a back deal like this, they would have been smuggling crystals.

But there is no such record in the ledger.

In other words.

“chaff. I didn’t trade crystals! It really is!”

“Do I look stupid?”

He said that he stole the amount he had to pay me while smuggling crystals.

I said with a cold expression.

“Pack your bags and leave now.”

Then the merchant grabbed my leg and pleaded with me.

“sorry! I’m really sorry! All you have to do is do it a few times to your regulars! It’s real!”

“Before you file a complaint for breach of contract and report it as tax evasion, quietly pack up and leave.”

I can understand some tricks, but I can’t forgive you for deceiving me.

“Go now.”

“Taxera.”

To be honest, there’s nothing like tax evasion to make money.

But unlike in the past, when I had nothing to lose, I now have too many things to protect.

“It’s a city that was created, but you can’t just cause problems because of tax evasion. Let’s move as legally as possible until we gain more strength.”

Even if I do something illegal, let’s build up our strength so that no one can say anything about it.

Even if the large guilds in my previous life openly ignored the law, I can do it just as the government could not touch it.

So until then.

Until I develop strength to the point where no one can tell me anything, I move within the existing laws as much as possible.

“···Wait a minute. legal?”

The tax on gated goods transactions is 25%.

“Points are not included in the transaction amount.”

Since the standard that hunters pay tax is the transaction amount, not the points, it means that the special tax of 25% is not applied if paid with points instead of money.

“uh? Isn’t this completely legal tax-saving?”

It was introduced just to tie up the hunters’ feet, but there is another method like this.

I immediately turned on the computer and searched the Internet for articles related to points.

-Will the amount of points used be included in the subject of VAT?

“The date of writing is recent…”

After reading the article, I smiled and said.

“So you’re saying it’s ambiguous?”

It is ambiguous whether the points should be viewed as part of Aenuri that lowers the price of goods, or as a supply price that has to be paid value-added tax.

The point of the article here is this.

VAT.

This means that even if a judgment is made that there is a cost, the tax payable is only 10%.

I said with a twinkle in my eyes.

“Hopefully 25 percent. Even if it doesn’t go well, 15 percent.”

That’s legal too.

It was a gap that was created as a result of rushing to create a special tax law that was in conflict with the existing law.

“This is a must.”
