The chief slammed the desk and said.

“How the hell are you going to get things done!!”

The manager bowed his head and said.

“···sorry.”

“If you want to do it, do it quietly, or why make it so noisy!!”

Merchants from Dangjin Dungeon City come to the front of the National Tax Service to protest, and protest calls are pouring in.

Besides, the bigger problem is the Awoken.

“What if the Awoken even strike? What will you do then?”

The price of crystallized stone has dropped so much that the government is ambitiously proceeding with eco-friendly energy production as a top priority in earnest, but suddenly, hundreds of awakened people go on strike like a boycott, which puts a big brake on the project.

If the supply decreases, the price will rise again.

The manager said in an urgent voice.

“that. That’s not going to happen. President Jung In-soo said that he would return the money when the points were abolished, so that’s it…”

“So. How can you say that! If you don’t give me money after it’s been abolished after saying I’ll give you money. What are you going to do then? We have to listen to that resentment!”

The manager was embarrassed.

“I didn’t really tell you to abolish it!”

All they did was put some pressure to reduce the amount of tax savings, but they turned it into abolition and are now rushing to death.

“Then why do you create this division by touching something that is not illegal!!”

At the director’s words, the team leader was dissatisfied with his throat, but he endured it.

‘If I had ignored it, I would have been pissed that I left it alone.’

The chief looked at the team leader and said.

“Now what are you going to do?”

“That…that…”

A situation in which no remedies are available.

After thinking for a while, the manager said.

“How about doing a public opinion contest instead? The general public will support us.”

Even if it is not illegal, expedient is expedient.

If so, the majority of people who do not have a direct interest in it will criticize such tax savings.

This was the reason why the team leader made the mistake of thinking that Jeong In-soo would be able to draw on his own.

“Are you really crazy? Do you want to grow your job here?”

And that was the misunderstanding of the team leader who did not take into account the peculiarities of the gate and the awakened at all.

“In this situation, where does the idea of making the awakened even curse at the people come from? So do those people enter the gate instead of the Awoken? huh? When I said that I increased my job, did I hear that you want to expand your job?”

“···sorry.”

The chief said as he untied his tie roughly.

“I never told you to abolish it. Then go down and try to explain yourself!!”

The manager bowed his head and said.

“That… that…”

Hundreds of Awakened Awakenings, who are beyond human beings, visit there in a situation in which they collectively protest against themselves and the National Tax Service?

The leader did not have such courage.

“Once again, I will talk to President Jung well and solve it.”

The chief sighed and said.

“ha. I’ve seen it and heard it, so I know what you’re feeling. Jung In-soo, that guy cheekily bumped into us. In my mind, I want to shave from head to toe, but the ball has already passed from Jung In-soo to the entire city. that things got too complicated. Besides, rumors are circulating, and other gates are shaking up.”

Due to the backlash of Dangjin Dungeon City, the tax saving method using points is spreading more widely, and even the awakeners and merchants of other gates are talking.

I didn’t know if the 2nd and 3rd Dangjin points would come out.

“I went up to see the chief. Perhaps sooner or later, we will start discussing the amendment of the law. After all, the tax-saving problem can be solved immediately if the law is amended. So let’s just skip this time. If it’s illegal, it’ll be enforced even if it’s not Dangjin and even worse opponents come out, but that’s not the case either. I’m bleeding too much to just ignore everything and move on. Do you know what I mean?”

The whole city rose up and, as I expected, the reaction was different.

Merchants, who are inevitably suffering a major blow to sales, even led the protests by frantically calling out protests, but the hunters, who were angry at first, calmed down a little when I said that I would pay cash when the points were abolished, and they were dissatisfied with the National Tax Service and exchanged bad words.

However, since such gossip has reached the ears of other gate hunters and the entire hunter society is in turmoil, it can be said that the ripple effect is greater than that of merchants who are struggling.

Plus, I had the Awoken staff put on a little show, and the picture turned out to be quite plausible.

– Mr. Jung. Please.

The team leader who used to come out in a high position now lowers himself.

“What do you mean?”

– It was a misunderstanding. I’d appreciate it if you could tell people that it wasn’t abolition, it was just about coordinating opinions about reduction.

You don’t want to look like you’re bending, so you’re saying you’re going to make it a no-go and step out?

it’s me then it’s fine

By the way, I knew I wouldn’t be able to come, but I’m really only on the phone until the end.

“You can come and talk to me directly without asking.”

-···that···

okay.

To be honest, even like me, it would be difficult to come because I was afraid.

“What. If so, that’s fine. I say it myself. So, can we do business the same as before? If this is the point issue again, this is the end of the call. Yes? Think about it. Here, if I accept the proposal of the National Tax Service and announce that I will adjust the issuance of points, all the arrows will now be directed at me. Even so, I felt threatened, so I even rescued an Awoken bodyguard, but I don’t want to do anything dangerous anymore.”

Then, after hesitating for a while, the manager said:

-Fuu…I get it.

“okay. Well thought. To be honest, I’m not making any money by saving money, but I was a little embarrassed because I was pressured by tax investigations and other things, but I’m glad it worked out so well.”

Then the manager said in a low voice.

――Instead, didn’t they attract a lot of Awakened people?

I noticed

But now, what does that matter?

“haha. Of course, it’s nice to have more customers, but is it just that one thing that makes it so complicated?”

I said with a smile.

“I came up with it after trying to find the best way for everyone. look at this. All the people living in our city seem satisfied. However, an outsider suddenly appears and tells me to give me the persimmon or the boat, which makes me angry. Do you understand?”

At my words, the team leader forcibly squeezed his voice and said.

-I understand.

“good. So, I’ll tell people about it later today. It was just a very minor misunderstanding.”

-thank you.

After finishing the call, I raised the corners of my lips and said.

“Stopping in a capitalist world is a step backwards.”

Are you operating the same as before?

I just can’t be satisfied with that.

Besides, judging by the fact that he came in quicker than I thought, it means that he decided to proceed with the law amendment faster.

So now there’s nothing to notice. It’s time to do our best to suck the honey water until the law is amended.

“Jaejin!”

“Yes. president.”

“Please tell people that the abolition of points was caused by a misunderstanding between me and the National Tax Service. and···”

I said with a smile.

“Double the amount of points issued.”

The news that the amount of points issued had doubled and that the abolition of points had been cancelled caused a sensation in the market.

“Ummm…”

The merchant said he was worried about the by-products brought by the Awoken.

“35 percent.”

“They said 40 percent over there.”

At most, the points that did not exceed 30% are now starting to exceed 40%.

At this point, the merchants and the awakened bargained for how much points they would distribute.

“Ugh. 40 percent?”

Previously, it was a method of distributing points to regular customers and taking care of them, but as the upper limit was doubled and there was a lot of room for points, the more expensive the item brought by the Awakened, the more points will be allocated.

The higher the price, the lower the tax.

“The quality of the leather is good and I really like this one… A. 45 percent! No more!”

The Awoken said with a smile.

“OK. call!”

Points were actively discussed at gates other than Dangjin.

But being active doesn’t necessarily mean being active.

“Let’s get rid of those peddlers and get together with people who have officially rented shops like us.”

Hopefully, you can attract a large number of Point Awakening customers, but who wants to share such a good thing with others?

When the merchants came out like this, the merchants also protested and united.

“Let’s unite together!”

Even so, it would have been fine if there were only two types of shopkeepers and general merchants, but as each region and network differed, more than a dozen types of points were created for each gate.

But if you make points, you have to have a place to use them for something.

Therefore, each point persuaded nearby merchants to join their points and continued fierce competition.

When the situation became like this, the stores that signed up for Point A and those that signed up for Point B, or those that signed up for both A and B, were literally mixed up.

Even if you save tax with points, you don’t know where to spend it.

Merchants have taken various measures, such as handing out pamphlets that kindly indicate the areas where points can be used, but since all points are like this, it is possible to save tax from the standpoint of the awakened, but it is difficult to use it, so they have no choice but to hesitate to accumulate points.

What’s more, they already had a perfect alternative.

straight away.

An optimized city that has a unified point and is already perfectly applied to real life.

So the awakened people flocked to Dangjin.

“president. There are very few vacancies left.”

Hunters flock in and the empty rooms in the city that were vacant are filled.

“We need to build more buildings.”

The reins must not be slowed.

I have to completely settle down the hunters I have gathered now so that they can earn me money and become my strength.

“Place your order right away.”

“Yes. Shall we put all our spare money in?”

“About 10 billion or so?”

“A little more than that.”

The amount of money accumulated over 100 million won a day from the market and the smelter alone.

“That’s not enough. You have to build more. If necessary, get more loans as collateral for the land… Ah.”

I said with a smile.

“Now is the time to use it slowly.”

By increasing the issuance of points, the daily accumulated cash is a whopping 500 million won.

Of course, it is the hunters’ money that needs to be settled someday, but the amount of money accumulated is 500 million, while the consumption is much less than that of 100 million.

That is, it continues to accumulate.

“I issue points and invest all the accumulated money.”

Now is the time to borrow money from the hunters interest-free.

“Wow. Build another building?”

The Awoken said with a surprised expression.

“How much is President Jung’s fortune?”

“I don’t know either.”

Awakened people who are surprised to see the building go up with the money they earned while accumulating points.

“We are making almost 50 new ones right now. Even if we take 500 million each for the construction cost, it is 25 billion won.”

“Is that all? From what I’ve heard, it’s likely that we will continue to increase more in the future.”

“Does President Jung make a lot of money or does he have a lot of money?”

“Well.”

The Awoken looked at the newly constructed building and said.

“Anyway, it’s good that you don’t have to worry about losing money with points.”

A virtuous cycle structure in which Jeong In-soo invests the accumulated money as points, and the awakened trusts Jung In-soo more and more.

In that way, Dangjin Dungeon City was completed step by step by gathering the strength of all the city dwellers.

Of course, without even knowing it.
