How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

51 episodes

The core of my plan is to set up barriers to entry by dramatically lowering the feasibility of the slime slime business.

We’re all in the bathtub of the slime slime business.

And the rising water is the barrier to entry.

As the water fills up, the short-lived companies drown one by one, leaving only a few tall people.

And LK is the tallest company in this bathtub.

In other words, no matter how hard I try, LK will eventually take a portion of the slime slime market.

Even if it’s not as overwhelming as it was in a previous life.

If you can’t stop it anyway, you’ll have to make it an ally.

By the way, Gu Yong-gil reached out his hand first, so the painting is good.

“I am going to kill all other companies. Even if it is a loss right away, it is a benefit in the long run. To do that, we need to keep the price of slime slime high.”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil is a person who moves in a direction that is definitely beneficial to himself rather than instinct, unlike the third generation of chaebols.

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil said with sharp eyes, whether he understood the essence of my words at once.

“It means you’re going to take it out.”

“Yes. In the end, only two companies will survive on this floor. with me.”

I said, pointing to Gu Yong-gil.

“LK.”

“Hmm.”

“Ex-Chief. Let’s share Korean waste with me. Secretly holding hands from behind.”

After all, if one company monopolizes everything, it is bound to be subject to sanctions under the anti-monopoly law.

“You want to build a cartel?”

“Yes.”

I said with a smile.

“It’s about taking control of the market first, then raising the unit price in a friendly way and sucking on the sweet water. Of course, on the outside, they growl as if they were an ally.”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil thought for a moment and said.

“Not a bad idea. But there’s a problem. There is a huge initial investment cost.”

That’s the problem.

That’s why we need more power from LK.

“instead.”

Then it’s time to present carrots.

“In addition to lending 700 tons of slime slime, we will concede the amount of slime slime to LK for the next month. Including the quantity from Dangjin.”

In fact, I and LK are buying more than 70%, and we are driving this to LK.

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil said with a surprised expression.

“Is that true?”

“Yes. Of course, assuming you keep the slime slime price at the current level.”

He said it as if he was conceding a lot to form a cartel, but this was just lip service for condescending.

The reason was simple.

In fact, my finances were almost at the bottom.

In other words, if LK does not agree with this offer, I no longer have the funds to keep the price up now.

So, if I fall out of the buying race and consortium companies stop buying due to non-existent contracts, the slime slime price will fall.

So, I was thinking that it was a limitation now, but this is where Gu Yong-gil appeared.

So, pretending to give up here and keeping the slime slime high for at least a month.

With funds from LK.

“To the quantity of Dangjin…”

“Yes. Of course, we will not stop buying, we will continue to purchase. This is the story of selling it back to the former managing director at the original price.”

With LK’s power, I earn a month’s time.

And in the meantime, I hold my breath and prepare the line.

“If the amount of LK builds up like that…”

I spoke with my fingers to Gu Yong-gil and me.

“We secretly help each other and win a contract. Just a few more months and the two of us can completely dominate the waste market.”

They inflate their slime slime inventory by spinning things around each other.

In this way, they won a metallurgical contract to divide the waste market in Korea.

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil thought for a moment and said.

“It’s fine. I like it. What. It’s not that I don’t feel a bit taken advantage of, but…”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil said with a smile.

“Even if it’s taken advantage of, there’s nothing you can’t do if it’s only for profit.”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil.

The head turns quickly and above all, it is rational, so I like it through words.

“What is your share?”

“7 to 3.”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil shook his head at my words and said.

“6 to 4. Keeping slime slime prices high going forward will cost you a lot of money. Unlike CEO Jung, who is a private company, we have to pay attention to our shareholders.”

“Then it’s just neatly 6.5 to 3.5. It will take a lot of money, but if I turn things around with my amount, I can get a contract much easier and faster.”

After thinking for a while, Gu Yong-gil said with a smile.

“good. Let’s finish it that way.”

Hue is the goat

Gu Yong-gil held out his hand and said.

“It was a much more beneficial time than I expected.”

I said, holding Gu Yong-gil’s hand.

“So do I.”

So LK and my secret waste cartel were formed.

Hue is the goat

Goo Yong-gil, who borrowed slime slime for circling things, dissolved the consortium and succeeded in signing a contract with Gangwon-do alone.

The margin is 600 won, slightly higher than 400 won.

It was the amount that I and Gu Yong-gil agreed.

Both the ruling and opposition parties were disappointing, but it was a satisfactory margin.

Of course, the companies in the consortium were outraged.

They said they betrayed LK, and they ran all over the place to get together and make a contract.

If I was alone, there is another alternative, 600 won for LK, because there was no politician who could sign a contract for 1,600 won while listening to the hogu before the general election.

While the consortium was starving one after another, LK and I continued to buy slime slime while circulating supplies to each other, slowly devouring the market.

“I’m going to live now.”

If it wasn’t for the real LK, I would have ended up falling out of the race because I couldn’t stand the financial pressure.

Now that my bankbook, which was always dry, fills up little by little after the grace period of one month, I feel a little relieved.

Anyway, at this rate, I and LK will be able to completely dominate the market by the time the general election is over.

“Mr. Jaejin. Thanks for your work. I’m off work.”

Jaejin Lee lowered his head and said.

“All right.”

“How is your body?”

Jaejin Lee sighed and said at my words.

“Is that the question again? It’s the same.”

“okay? Should I give you a month of medicine or something?”

“If I had a better leg like that, I would have gotten better sooner. Anyway, I’ll go to work.”

Jaejin Lee left the office like that.

I said with a smirk.

“It’s a lot brighter though.”

In the past, he was a hedgehog with sharp thorns when stabbed, but now Jaejin Lee reacts quite responsively.

Now you can be sure.

Jaejin Lee in his previous life and Jaejin Lee now are completely different people.

I said stretching out.

“OMG! I’m tired of dying!”

I have to go to work too.

As Jaejin Lee left the building, an old woman who was waiting naturally grabbed the wheelchair and started pushing it.

“You have suffered.”

“···no.”

Jung In-soo was the housekeeper assigned to Lee Jae-jin.

At first, Lee Jae-jin refused to one secretary asking what kind of maid he was, but Jung In-soo was forced to push him, and somehow Lee Jae-jin was taken care of by a maid.

It was awkward at first, but, as always, when he gave up on understanding, Jaejin Lee’s life became surprisingly comfortable.

Before that, I had to do everything with an uncomfortable body and whine, but now I just talked to the housekeeper and everything was resolved in a snap.

He makes me go to work, cooks for me, and takes care of all the household chores.

It was a truly luxurious life that was different from when I lived with my older brother, Jae-Woon Lee.

So when he arrived at his house, the housekeeper set the rice prepared in advance in the kitchen on the table.

“The cleaning is over. I put all my laundry in there.”

“thank you.”

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Yes. There is not.”

The housekeeper said with a smile.

“okay? Then I will go to work. If you need anything, please contact me right away.”

The housekeeper lives next door to Jaejin Lee.

In fact, Jae-Jin Lee was receiving 24-hour care from the housekeeper.

Lee Jae-jin, who came to the table after the housekeeper left work, murmured while looking at the steaming rice and side dishes.

“Is this… is it really true?”

Jaejin Lee sometimes wondered if he was wearing clothes that didn’t fit him.

The level of treatment that is absolutely absurd for a single secretary.

But, as always, Jeong In-soo didn’t say anything about the reason.

Jung In-soo says that it is the boss who decides the employee’s salary, and that there is no case where the employee asks for a pay cut.

“Still… it’s good.”

Lee Jae-jin’s life was divided into before and after meeting Jeong In-soo.

Hell before, heaven after.

If someone asked Lee Jae-jin if he would refuse Jung In-soo’s help even now and would like to become independent on his own…

I always refused, but it’s true that I’ve gotten used to the comfort and convenience of this life.

“Just work hard.”

This is the only way he can repay Jung In-soo and lift the burden of his heart.

Jaejin Lee took a spoon to eat like that.

But then.

“uh?”

Jaejin Lee’s body began to glow brightly.

“good night.”

I used to sleep and eat in the office, but one day, Hyunta suddenly came.

It’s money earned so that we can eat well and live well, but I thought that if I abused my body like this, it wouldn’t be true.

So, after decorating an officetel with the highest quality, I was using it as my lodging.

I wanted to build a mansion and live like a real conglomerate, but I kept thinking that if I put the money in it, I could make more money by investing in other things.

I said lying on the top-of-the-line bed.

“…is it some kind of wealthy, small-citizen mindset?”

The money has grown enough to be heard as a rich man, but his behavior has not yet escaped from the past.

What.

Time will fix it.

If I earn more money than I do now, won’t I be that much more generous with myself?

“Ah… I’m sleepy…”

That moment when my eyes were closing like that.

bang bang!

Someone’s urgent knock.

“100 million!”

I jumped out of bed and said.

“Who is this at this time…”

“president! That’s me! Jaejin Lee!”

Jaejin Lee’s urgent voice.

I was sure what was going on.

I took a step closer and opened the door wide.

“Jaejin, what…”

Seeing Jae-Jin Lee like that, I couldn’t continue talking anymore.

“president···”

Jaejin Lee in front of me.

“I. Awakened.”

stand on two legs

Jaejin Lee stumbled slightly and leaned on the bed.

“ね.”

Although he was awakened, his posture was unstable because his legs had not been used for a long time.

But Jaejin Lee’s face was full of joy.

“Boss… I… I have awakened. I walked with my two legs. Without a wheelchair.”

I looked at Lee Jae-jin like that and said.

“Congratulations. Jaejin.”

“I never dreamed that a day like this would come.”

Jaejin Lee said looking down at his trembling legs.

“I am walking.”

I patted Jaejin Lee on the shoulder and said.

“Did I say that? It’s near the gate, so you might wake up.”

Jaejin Lee looked up at me and said.

“Did you know… by any chance?”

“What?”

“That I will wake up.”

I said with a puzzled look.

“How do I know that?”

“Then why are you doing that to me…”

“He is very persistent. Just say it. just.”

I said with a smile.

“There is such a person. just a person who cares. I have to say something is wrong.”

Before that, I never used the word sorry.

Because saying that you feel sorry for someone who has trauma can act as poison.

But now the trauma has completely disappeared.

“That alone is not enough to explain, but… well. Okay. It’s not the first time.”

I looked at Jae-Jin Lee and said.

“What are you going to do now?”

“········”

Jaejin Lee is silent.

I wonder if it will just leave after awakening or not?

What did I do?

“Since I defeated Jae-Woon Lee, I have no sense of purpose and just followed the instructions of the boss. and.”

Jaewoon looked at me and said.

“It is still the same even after awakening.”

oh oh

“My goal in life is already over the moment I beat Lee Jae-woon. Now all that is left is to repay the favor to the boss who helped me get my revenge.”

Jaejin Lee lowered his head and said.

“I will follow the instructions of the boss.”

It is perfect.

Absolutely perfect

I said with a smile.

“If you ask me to be a secretary, I will do it. If you want a bodyguard, a bodyguard too.”

You can’t use such high-quality talent for such a place.

“I just said it. It doesn’t change anything just because you’ve awakened. So am I.”

I said with a smile.

“Keep going with me. like now. And in the future. When did I ever let Jaejin down? Just trust me and follow me.”

Then Jaejin Lee, who was quietly silent, said with a small smile.

“There has never been anything like that. I wish you all the best in the future. president.”
