Daehyun Kim said while looking at Dangjin Dungeon City with a firm expression.
“This is Dangjin.”
I’ve heard rumors about it, but this was my first visit.
“This is not going to be as easy as I thought.”
It is a small city in its own right, with new buildings all over the place and people rushing to and fro.
But this is all Jung In-soo’s.
There are two kinds of wealth.
One is just a poor man with a lot of money.
Another is the wealthy who influence the region, whether it be a corporation or land.
Jung In-soo belonged to the latter group.
“Well···”
I was going to threaten Jung In-soo and rip anything out, but if this happens, the story changes again.
Since the only thing they have is money, they try to solve everything with money, but the rich with influence do not necessarily have money, but they have many solutions.
“A tremendous denial in a city full of Awoken. If so, there are probably many Awoken who know.”
Daehyun Kim is in trouble.
“It might be a little dangerous.”
But it’s too bad to go away like this.
Having a lot means that you have a lot to rip off.
“Let’s go.”
First meeting with Kim Dae-hyun.
“Nice to meet you. This is Kim Dae-hyun.”
Kim Dae-hyun greets politely, unlike when he was half-threatening on the phone.
“Nice to meet you. This is Jeong In-soo. Please sit over here.”
After guiding Daehyun Kim to his seat, I sat down on the sofa and suggested with my hand.
“What. You said you have something to say. do it. I don’t have time because I’m busy.”
Kim Dae-hyun, who was silent for a moment, said.
“Then let’s get straight to the point. As far as I know, the speed of disposal of waste from the smelter owned by Mr. Jung is beyond common sense. In the past, I wondered if it might have been illegally dumped by stealing it somewhere. But now that slime slime functions are revealed, the story is different.”
I said with a smile.
“It’s an interesting story.”
“Didn’t your smelter treat your waste with slime slime?”
I looked at Kim Dae-hyun and said.
“Evidence?”
“…Honestly not.”
“Then how are you going to prove it?”
“The absence of evidence means, conversely, that it is difficult to prove innocence. Just by making this fact public, wouldn’t it be quite damaging to President Jung?”
He takes a rather polite stance, but in the end, the content turns around and is threatening.
I said with a smirk.
“It’s fun. Yes. Let’s say so. Let’s say I treat waste with slime slime in a smelter. However, Kim Dae-hyun made a public opinion about this, whether he was reporting it to the media or whatever he was doing. But what would that make a difference?”
The situation where most people, including the media, are focusing their attention on slime slime.
The reason I hid the slime slime was that everything was illegal except for the legally designated treatment method.
However, slime slime has already appeared to the public, and pilot city planning is in progress.
“It’s all about decorating. Slime slime in the smelter? It’s okay to just cry as part of an experiment. Besides, so do politicians. Will you be hostile to me just because of that? You don’t even have any evidence?”
The price of slime slime is rising and the supply is increasing, but compared to me, who has been collecting for about a year, it is still far short of me.
Besides, I keep buying and collecting.
After all, I am the only person who can use slime slime to build a garbage disposal facility right now.
“Of course it is. However···”
Kim Dae-hyun looked at me and said.
“But wouldn’t it be better to be relieved than to spread the word? The more you have, the more you lose.”
okay.
If possible, it’s best that there are no rumors.
But can’t you think of someone else’s idea of what this guy came up with?
If this guy is not clearly cut out here, the 2nd and 3rd Kim Dae-hyun will appear.
“So what do you want?”
Daehyun Kim said to me.
“I also want to take a step into the slime slime business.”
“Isn’t it okay if you do it by yourself?”
Then Kim Dae-hyun said, wriggling his eyebrows.
“I don’t have enough money…”
oh
Are you hurting me too much?
I said with a smirk.
“Then why do you intervene and create that division?”
Then Kim Dae-hyun’s face is distorted.
I said with a casual expression.
“Tell me.”
“···I beg your pardon?”
“Do whatever you want, whether you are reporting to the press or not.”
Even if it’s not Kim Dae-hyun anyway, there are many customers who sold waste to me.
Do they not know about this situation?
“I called you here today to tell you this.”
I looked at Kim Dae-hyun with a cold expression and said.
“The moment you open your mouth, I will do everything I can to destroy you. Violence if necessary. If you need money, pay it.”
I said with a smirk.
“If it’s me anyway, I’m at the level of being called around and trying to explain. Even so, there’s no evidence. It’s going to be hard on my body, but that’s all I have to lose. But you will lose all of you. So give it a try. oh And what if someone made an anonymous tip? Then I will destroy you first.”
Kim Dae-hyun said with a firm expression.
“What. what?”
“No matter who reported it, I would unconditionally think that you did and move.”
Kim Dae-hyun jumped up from his seat and said.
“What nonsense is that!”
“I never leave anyone threatening me. you.”
I said with a smile.
“I came in the wrong place today.”
Daehyun Kim said, shaking his body.
“You… you. You are this kid.”
“Okay. Go back and do whatever you want. oh Previously. Come on in.”
At my words, the bodyguards entered the room.
“Please do a body search.”
Before Kim Dae-hyun could respond, the bodyguards began to search Kim Dae-hyun’s body.
and.
“It’s a ballpoint pen recorder.”
okay.
I thought so.
Kim Dae-hyun said with a firm expression.
“My. shit···”
“Take it out.”
Kim Dae-hyun is dragged along by the bodyguard.
“He’s like a leech.”
The more I grow and the more strength I have, the more people will attack Congo like that.
Persuasion and persuasion?
Such finite gestures only make more leeches twist.
It’s just smashing the people who rush in without exception.
Until there is no one left to run to.
“What. Kim Dae-hyun is almost finished.”
It’s fine if you don’t report it, and if you do, it’s okay to do what I said.
It’s time to focus on your job.
“Shall we start the factory soon?”
In the end, after a month, the operation of the Dangjin pilot city began in earnest.
In the first place, national planning is not something that happens in such a short period of time.
But Mayor Gohyeon isn’t the only one who wants to win the first title.
This was possible because of the will of the president and upper-class people to make Korea the world’s first eco-friendly waste disposal country and to make it their own achievement.
Especially since I have the most slime slime in the world.
This is how Dangjin pilot city began.
In fact, this change was not felt by the general public.
It was the same as usual to dispose of recyclables separately and to put household waste in a volume-based bag.
It’s just that household waste has been redirected to a slime slime waste disposal plant rather than a landfill.
However, that small difference caused a change in the perception of citizens.
People who tried to reduce waste as much as possible considering the environment are now able to dispose of garbage without burden.
And, of course, it came back to the convenience of life.
“Uh-huh.”
taken from noblemt l
Mayor Gohyeon burst out laughing in the president’s office of the newly created waste treatment plant.
“The response from the public is good. look at this.”
Where the market pointed, one side of the factory was surrounded by a glass film, so you could see at a glance how the slime slime was disposing of waste from the inside.
And in front of it were crowded with citizens who came to see it.
It was installed to show that it is being treated in an environmentally friendly way.
“The public opinion is also very smooth. Is that all? Construction companies and companies are also showing interest in Dangjin.”
In fact, the amount of garbage produced by the general public only accounts for 10% of the total amount of garbage in Korea.
Construction waste and company waste account for most of the rest.
In particular, companies that use large amounts of chemicals are always troubled by the burden and cost of environmental pollution even when disposing of waste.
Then, suddenly, slime slime appeared.
It’s a very cheap treatment method with no worries about environmental pollution, so it’s really worth it from the perspective of such companies.
And attracting such companies means that the local economy is greatly benefited.
“It’s all thanks to Jung In-soo.”
I bowed my head and said.
“If Dangjin became a more livable city, I would be satisfied with that.”
At that time, Mayor Gohyeon looked at the clock and said:
“Anyway, the time has come for you to come.”
The person I decided to meet today was not the mayor of Gohyeon.
smart.
“Come on in.”
It was Yeo Jin-moo, a member of the National Assembly with Dangjin-si as the constituency, who entered the president’s office.
Yeo Jin-moo said with a smile.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Yeo Jin-moo, a member of the National Assembly.”
I got up from my seat and shook hands with Yeo Jin-moo and said.
“This is Jeong In-soo.”
Re-elected Member of Parliament for the second time in Dangjin alone.
I said with a smile.
“I hope it will be a helpful meeting for each other.”
We simply took a picture, gave a tour of the factory, and then returned to the president’s office.
“How much slime slime do you need to cover the entire city of Dangjin?”
“There should be at least 340 tons. Right now, we are moving it to 400 tons with ease.”
“Then the amount that President Jung has…”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“We have about 7,000 tons left.”
The slime slime boom in one month and the supply increased due to the 400 tons allocated to Dangjin, but 7,000 tons were still left.
Fortunately, it was this much thanks to the previously randomized slime slime boom and secured a large amount of volume, but otherwise, it would have been much less.
Yeo Jin-moo said with a surprised expression.
“So many?”
“But that is not enough.”
I shook my head and said.
“I knew when I started this business, but the amount of waste in Korea is really huge. To be honest, if you add up my slime slime and the amount other companies have bought, it’s roughly…”
I pretended to think for a moment and said.
“It’s at the level of whether we can afford only half of Korea.”
Yeo Jin-moo said with an interesting expression.
“Half…”
“These days, the unit price has risen and the supply has increased, but there is a limit to the amount of slime slime that the Awakened can physically bring, so it will take roughly a year to fill the other half.”
And this year is the key point.
Because half a year later…
“Better.”
It was the time of the Korean general election.
I don’t know if full-scale introduction is possible because there are enough supplies. Currently, we have no choice but to select regions.
Of course, in areas where the introduction is delayed, there is no choice but to speak out.
Yeo Jin-moo said with a smile.
“Green is a wonderful word. It is a popular material that can be eaten by anyone and that everyone likes.”
Now that’s the gist.
“Chief Jung. When the pilot city planning is complete, can you distribute the slime slime around our constituency?”
Basically, it’s stupid to put everything in one party.
No one knows when or how politics will change.
okay.
If you don’t remember your past life like me.
I nodded without hesitation.
“of course.”
The party to which Yeo Jin-moo belongs had the most seats as the current ruling party.
And in the next general election, he won by one point and once again maintained the most seats.
Here, if I drive slime slime around an area with many ruling party constituencies, the ruling party will be able to preempt the issue.
Of course, in his previous life, he lost to the current opposition in the next general election, but it means that he can maintain a close relationship with the current ruling party for four and a half years anyway.
It’s not bad.
For me, four and a half years is a time when heaven and earth have opened up.
After all, for me, all politicians are there.
What’s important is who at this point in time is beneficial to me to help.
“Are you willing to answer me like this? Thank you so much.”
“Instead, I have a very minor request… the Point Revision Act.”
Yeo Jin-moo said with a puzzled expression on my words.
“ah. That… well…”
Tax-related matters were sensitive, so there was only a response like that.
“I am not asking you to stop it. I don’t even expect that. I just want to take it slow. slowly. Isn’t it a complicated matter of interest? So, it is only a small hope that it would be better to do it slowly until the amendment law that can satisfy everyone is as much as possible.”
“It’s something I can’t give a definitive answer here…”
He said as he watched Jin-moo Yeo continue to ponder with a troubled expression on his face.
“This time it’s slime slime, but who knows what else comes next. Senator. The potential of the gate is limitless. and I···”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I have quite a bit of strength on this floor. Think about the future, not just this one time.”
Yeo Jin-moo, who listened to my words and repeated django over and over again, said.
“This is not something I can decide on my own. But… it doesn’t seem that bad. If not, progress has been slow due to various problems. I will ask the party representative separately.”
I said with a smile.
“thank you. I pray for good news.”
