How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

66 episodes

The woman reporter, who was bewildered by my words, spoke again with a firm expression on her face.

“Isn’t it illegal under any circumstances?”

“Of course you are right. Illegal is illegal. But isn’t the government supposed to enforce it? I am just a businessman, not a judge. They just live on my land. I have no reason to do anything just because they commit illegal acts, and above all, I don’t want to.”

The woman who was staring at me at my words said:

“How did people in such difficulty obtain the snow-white seasoning that even the rich have a hard time finding?”

right.

That’s weird.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because I didn’t attend the interview to convince this woman in the first place.

“I don’t know.”

“ね.”

The important thing is not how you got it, but that the people in the back alleys make a living with it.

“Because I am a good businessman who only works legally.”

“···All right. Thanks for the interview.”

A woman reporter jumps up from her seat because she doesn’t get the answer she wants.

I said with a casual expression.

“Please go in carefully.”

A woman reporter leaves the office with the cameraman while taking a sip of coffee brought by her secretary.

I looked at him for a moment and then said quietly.

“Are you a beginner?”

Judging by his youthful and energetic spirit, he seemed to be a novice reporter.

I said with a smirk.

“You shouldn’t approach it that way.”

Rather, he should have induced me to stumble by speaking like an advocate of Snow White.

Of course, I’m not the one who would be punished for that.

“Hmm···”

By the way, I talked about the tragic circumstances, but will that woman write the article the way I want it to be?

It can’t be.

Just looking at it, I have a negative attitude towards snow white fruit.

The cause was made by me.

So now it’s your turn to move.

I grabbed my cell phone and called someone.

– Representative Jung.

It was Chairman Noh Won-koo, an ardent believer of snow white fruit.

“Yes. President. How are you?”

– I’m fine. These days, the quantity is quite plentiful, so I can buy it. thanks

“President. Even though I don’t know about that.”

-right. right. I guess my mind goes back and forth as I get older. Anyway, what’s going on?

“It’s not something else, but because I’m interviewing you this time.”

– What interview.

I informed Chairman Noh Won-gu of the interview I had just had with a female reporter.

“…so I tried to explain the sad stories of them step by step, but I felt a little uneasy. Will he be able to publish my interview as an article without distortion? I am concerned that the article might have been maliciously edited and that the poor people would be harmed by the article.”

I said with a smile.

“It’s just what it is.”

Chairman Noh Won-koo, who was silent for a moment at my words, said.

-…you have a good head. The more I look at it, the more I like it. So it’s more reassuring.

“It was nothing.”

The best thing is that Chairman Noh Won-gu is close with the head of the newspaper, so he can put pressure on the reporter.

Even if they don’t have close acquaintances, the president of Nowon-gu would know everyone just by crossing a few bridges.

– Where is the Ilbo who?

I said looking at the business card the reporter gave me.

“You are reporter Kang Ha-in, The Jingi Daily.”

– Jingi Ilbo. Kang Ha-in. I see. i don’t know

“Do you know anyone?”

-I have some acquaintance with the CEO of the Ilbo Jingi. And I think the CEO of Ilbo Jingi will like you very much.

It is said that Chairman Jingi Ilbo is also a customer of Snow White.

Absolutely perfect

– Anyway, I’ll quit.

“Yes. President. Have a nice day.”

“great. great.”

The editor-in-chief, who received the article written by Kang Ha-in, said with a smile.

“A scoop, a scoop. Illegal distribution of snow white fruit and the people aiding it.”

Kang Ha-in said with a dissatisfied expression.

“I should have tied it up to that person, but… it was a rip off until the very end.”

“But are you sure that CEO Jung is distributing it?”

“Absolutely!”

Kang Ha-in opened his eyes and said.

“After researching, all the land in the area belonged to Jeong In-soo. Besides, he’s a strong person to be blown away by Hunters. Is such a person standing still because he is worried about the people in the back alleys? Does that make sense? They are using those people to distribute the fruit they had collected before it became 100% illegal. They are being taken advantage of!”

The editor nodded at Kang Ha-in’s words and said.

“It makes sense. Hmm. Wouldn’t it be better to leave this out then?”

What the editor said was the situation of the people in the back alleys Jung In-soo said.

“I’d rather be sure of George than to get a sympathetic vote for something like this. That people are being used. Then you don’t have to get me out of there quickly.”

Kang Ha-in pondered for a moment at the editor’s words and said.

“…that might be better. It may be difficult right now, but I think it is the right answer for those people.”

Kang Hain gritted his teeth and said.

“Jung In-soo is a really bad bastard. I’d rather be openly saying bad things, even swearing. Do you have pity on poor people? under. I’m not really funny.”

“great. Then I’ll leave this content out and make it an article…”

Then the editor’s cell phone started to ring.

The caller that came to mind on the phone was the editor-in-chief.

“Wait a moment. is the chief I’ll take a call.”

“Yes.”

So the editor-in-chief answered the call.

“Yes. Chief. Yes. Yes.”

But the editor-in-chief’s face darkened.

“I was writing an article right now… Yes? No, where is that? Wait a minute, I’ll go ahead and explain… Yes?”

The editor-in-chief said with a puzzled expression.

“The boss… is it?”

After talking for a while, the editor put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

“Whoa.”

Kang Ha-in said in an urgent voice.

“What’s going on?”

In large newspapers, which are usually about a novelty, the president usually concentrates on management, but the content and editing of articles is carried out under its own judgment by the editorial office.

But suddenly the boss instructs something through the director?

That means that there is an impact on the company or a very serious event.

“What happened?”

The editor-in-chief, who was silent for a moment despite Kang Ha-in’s words, waved the paper on which the Dangjin article was written and said.

“this. Have you ever shown anyone other than me?”

“no? You ran as soon as you wrote it?”

“But why does the boss know about this?”

Kang Ha-in was astonished at the editor’s words.

“mind. It’s absurd. That’s what I just made…”

At that time, the name of a person came to Kang Ha-in’s head.

“…Jung In-soo?”

The only people who knew about his interview were him, Jung In-soo, and the cameraman who accompanied him.

The editor-in-chief said with a firm expression.

“He was a player.”

“mind. It’s absurd.”

“… Reporter Kang. I don’t think this guy is a normal guy.”

The editor with decades of experience felt it instinctively.

For some reason, Jung In-soo has influence over the president of a large newspaper such as the Jingi Ilbo or more.

“He’s just a pawn with land and buildings. How about a guy like that…”

Kang Ha-in’s complexion turned pale.

“no way···”

The editor nodded slightly.

“Snow white fruit. Someone who wants to keep the snow white berries in stock is putting pressure on the company. perhaps···”

The editor-in-chief said with a firm expression.

“I don’t know if it’s the boss himself.”

Kang Ha-in’s pupils shook.

“… Reporter Kang. It’s too dangerous to just blow it up. It’s really too dangerous.”

“But editor! We are journalists. A reporter who should tell the truth!”

The editor nodded helplessly.

“okay. We are journalists. But the truth can change 180 degrees depending on the way it is expressed.”

The editor looked at Kang Ha-in and said.

“Reporter Kang. Let’s edit the article.”

“Hmm···”

I opened the Jingi Daily newspaper and raised the corners of my mouth.

“I like it.”

An article about Dangjin Dungeon City and Snow White.

However, the focus of the article was not on the distribution itself, but on the circumstances of the people in the back alleys and their desperate circumstances.

Just looking at the article, it makes me think that poor people without real money are forced to touch even that and earn a living.

“You write well.”

The reporter who wrote the article that caught my eye at that time.

“Well? Isn’t that Kang Ha-in?”

I said with a smile.

“Did you end up crying until the end?”

What.

that’s not my thing

“That’s how you learn the bitter taste of society.”

The world is ruled by the powerful.

Weak people think that everyone is equal, but that is absolutely not the case.

The me in my past life and the me now are all the same person, but have I not changed so much because of the difference in my power or not?

I said as I folded the newspaper.

“This is almost finished…”

I have shown indirectly how to move as well as a clear cause, so the customers will take care of it and adjust it to the rhythm.

If I don’t distribute Snow White, I’ll just make a little less money, but they’ll lose one of the joys of life.

“Now people will pay attention.”

Where Snow White is traded.

Of course, the reaction will vary.

The wealthy people who heard the news were displeased.

People who are negative to snow-white berries are outraged.

and.

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“People who come after smelling money.”

As they flock, the back alleys are now bigger and more solid.

And holding on to their leash, I more completely dominate the back alley.

“What. Since I’ve done something bad once, can I do something good this time?”

Starting with the Jingi Daily, information about the back alleys of Dangjin Dungeon City began to gain attention as information became known here and there.

Articles were published focusing on the stories of people in the back alleys, probably because of the breath of the upper class, but there were also articles accusing them of being illegal.

In the midst of such a chaotic situation, one good news came.

That is, the Jungin Guild succeeded in capturing the second boss monster.

As a result, the range that Hunters can reside in in Yongin Dungeon has doubled, so it could not be a slope.

“Congratulations on the attack.”

At my words, the guild members of the Jeongin Guild smiled and said.

“thank you!”

“It’s all thanks to the president.”

I asked Jae-Jin Lee to find other boss monsters nearby and take a video, and I picked one boss monster and told him how to pretend to analyze the video again.

Unlike the Giant Gorillas, the Jeongin Guild, which has improved skills and is equipped with weapons and equipment, succeeded in attacking the boss with ease.

He succeeded in winning his second world first title.

I said looking at the guild members.

“At this point, there is one thing I want to ask you. Is there anyone who regrets joining the Jungin Guild?”

Then the guild members burst out laughing and said.

“Is that possible?!”

“Money is money, fame is fame. Everything is perfect, so why regret it?”

Very good.

Now, the Jungin Guild will trust and follow my words.

Control over them is almost over, so I think we can gradually increase their size.

The first is difficult, the second is easy.

Now that the guild members believe in me, even if a new guild member comes in, they won’t be able to rebel against me easily.

That’s how the Jungin Guild grows in size.

“Thank you for saying that. I’m arrogant at the time I’ve said it before, but if I had to add one word…”

I said with a smile.

“The Jeongin Guild will grow even bigger in the future. With you. And we will stand tall as the strongest and best guild in Korea. I will make it happen!”

“Wow!!”

I said raising the glass high.

“Come on, for that day! Cheers!”

“Ummm…”

My head hurts after drinking too much after a long time.

“After all, I can’t win against the Hunters.”

I can’t keep up with how much alcohol I drink.

“By the way, do I wake up at 55 just like in my previous life?”

If you think about it, the awakening is exactly the same as the memories of my previous life.

I said with a smirk.

“What. After that time, when you are healthy, that’s good.”

After all, just because you’re awakened doesn’t mean you’re going to kill the monster yourself.

taken from noblemt l

My goal is to get on top of all the Hunters, not be one of them.

I staggered and arrived at the office.

On such an office desk, the by-product of the boss monster caught today, the Great Orc, was placed on it.

I grinned and picked up a small leather bag from the by-product.

Then he opened the leather bag and took out 5 small pills inside.

“Fantastic Blast.”

Hue is the goat

Great orcs take this pill when they are wounded in battle and cornered.

Then, the Great Orc becomes berserk for a certain period of time, improving its physical abilities and becoming a fighting machine that does not care about minor injuries.

Therefore, the key to attacking the Great Orc was to seize this leather bag as soon as possible and prevent it from going rampant.

Anyway, of course, this light explosion was also effective for humans.

If you eat it, you lose your sanity and fall into a rampage with enhanced physical abilities.

However, Hunters are hunters who form positions with their colleagues and hunt monsters.

What kind of hunting would a hunter, not a prey, do after losing his mind and running wild?

Rather, it only causes inconvenience to colleagues.

They really all die and remain alone, so you can try it as a last gamble, but there is no hunter who jumps into the dungeon with the thought of dying in the first place.

Therefore, Hwan was not popular with hunters at all.

However, this flare-up had other uses.

“It is the best medicine for patients.”

In particular, for critically ill patients who could not even undergo surgery due to their weakness, this medicine was a valuable medicine that could once again prolong their lives.

If you take this pill right before anesthesia and increase your physical ability, you can greatly increase the success rate of surgery.

However, the price was not so high compared to the rarity, as it was only an aid to surgery and not a cure for diseases.

You can get thousands of items per item when it’s rare, but I’m not at a level where I’m only satisfied with the money right now.

Of course, since it’s in the early days, I could get it in billions, but if I sell all of this and distribute the settlement money to the guild members for 500 million, I have a margin in my hand, but one mana money.

So, neither the Great Orc nor the Berserk was a priority, but now there is a dragon.

Use this to do good deeds.

sick person.

People who are too weak to even have surgery, especially the poor, are given this blast.

“okay. People have to do good things sometimes.”

A savior who feels sorry for the plight of the people in the back alleys and takes care of even the sick using the blast bomb.

Knowing how much land I own and how many businesses and jobs I have, only reporters, wealthy people, and people in this industry can infer that I am dealing with snow-white fruits.

That is to say, there are not many of them.

To the majority of the general public, am I just a businessman who hosted the equipment draw?

Even though that was already a year ago, how many people still remember my face?

To be honest, most people don’t even know the name of the group’s president, even if they get out of the top 10 in the business world.

I can’t say much less than that.

So I am making my image through this for people who do not know anything.

By letting the government know that there are many people who live on snow white fruit on the black market through the article, I am making it burdensome for the government, and at the same time donating this to wrap me up with a good image.

To instill the awareness that I am truly sorry for their situation.

The target for treatment using dungeon items is the underprivileged and even a free donation?

What a worthy topic this is.

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“The savior of the underprivileged. Is that good to hear?”
