How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

8 episodes

Dozens of people in the small auditorium were gathering three or three and having a conversation.

“It’s quite a lot.”

They are the land owners who attended the briefing hosted by Yoon Jeong-nam.

Since the location where the dungeon was created is a rural area, most of the land owners were also rural elderly people.

Then an old man glanced at me and said,

“Who is that? Is this your first face?”

“I don’t go either.”

As I, in my 20s, is sitting alone among the elderly, my attention is bound to be focused.

Then an old man looked at me carefully and said,

“ah! Isn’t that person? The person who bought the land from the Oh family.”

“that person? Who is that bachelor?”

“Oh, my son beat me to the chest saying that he sold all of his father’s land.”

“Ugh. No matter how difficult it is right now, we shouldn’t sell our ancestors’ land.”

Then a middle-aged man came up to the stage and said,

“Nice to meet you. teachers. I am Yoon Jeong-nam, a lawyer who served you.”

At Yoon Jung-nam’s appearance, the old people stopped looking at me and started applauding.

clap clap.

“thank you.”

Yoon Jeong-nam gestured for thanks, and his staff handed out pamphlets to the people.

“The data that we have shared now are the locations illegally occupied by military bases and the value of the land. It is also a source of precedents between private land and military bases.”

Hmm.

I’ve researched it quite a bit.

“Military units are occupying your land without your consent. Did any of you agree to the occupation of the military base?”

No one raised a hand at those words.

Also, when the dungeon suddenly appeared about two weeks ago, who would have questioned the presence of the military base?

Rather, I would have thought of him as a grateful being to protect my land.

But now, with the advent of a hunter and information about the dungeon, the situation has completely changed.

In particular, the news that the monster did not recognize the gate was decisive.

The thing I feared the most was that something might come out of the gate and attack the earth, but they said they didn’t even recognize the entrance at all, so the greed hidden because of fear was secretly revealed.

“Look. The military is forcibly occupying our precious private land for the sole reason of the emergency. So we must find that right!”

“right.”

“You ruined a year of farming because of the soldiers!”

Is this the difference between entering and exiting the bathroom?

The precious existence that protected them became a being who harmed them with a single word of Yun Jeong-nam.

“ruler. Now I will explain.”

“Hmm.”

Yoon Jung-nam’s litigation method was simple.

Compensation for damage to crops and land rental costs for land occupation, etc.

To get all the money you can get from the military base.

“It depends on the size of the land, but I’m sure you can get at least a few hundred to a few thousand!”

Then an old man said with a worried expression.

“Lawyer Yangban. But isn’t that what people say about the lawsuit or something?”

A serious matter that may be criticized by the public if done wrong.

The old man’s question was valid.

Yoon Jeong-nam said in a confident voice.

“Don’t worry. It’s not a class action lawsuit after all. Your personal identities will be kept strictly confidential, and the lawsuit will be conducted in the name of Yoon Jeong-nam’s attorney’s office.”

“Draw?”

“Besides, is that all? Seongbuk-gu is also preparing for a class action lawsuit, so it would be more effective if both sides pressured it. Of course, the government will contact you individually, but in that case, you just have to repeat the saying, “Contact Yoon Jeong-nam’s lawyer’s office.” Isn’t it very simple?”

At the lawyer’s words, the elderly talked with positive expressions.

“Isn’t that a bad thing?”

“Right. We also worked on farming, so we must eat and live.”

“Isn’t it ok because Seoulites also do it?”

I looked at the brochure for a moment and said.

“how will we do it···”

Extorting money from the government?

not burdensome at all.

Rather than anyone else, I am the one who wants to tear it apart the most.

The problem here is one of the litigation items, the rental fee.

“If we make an agreement and receive the rental fee, then it will be difficult for the military base to sit down to the end.”

I need to get a seat as soon as possible, but I can’t get caught up in my ankles because of a small amount of money.

“Isn’t it more advantageous to me to reject the agreement thoroughly?”

No matter how much the government makes concessions to the civilian population through the hunter group boycott, it does not do stupid things like the complete withdrawal of the military base.

In fact, even before I died, at least a dozen soldiers were always stationed near the dungeon.

“okay. That would be better.”

If I reject the agreement to the end, and the civilian control is lifted, I will immediately expel all of them from my land.

“From now on, I will distribute the agreement to designate our office as a legal representative. If you agree, I will run without saving myself!”

Thus, Yun Jeong-nam’s staff began distributing consent forms to the elderly.

taken from noblemt l

Most of them are elderly people who are willing to sign autographs.

Then an old man said with a dissatisfied expression.

“I’m kind of like this. My son is a civil servant. What if I am at a disadvantage?”

“ah. Mr. Kim. Do you really want to get out on your own?”

“However···”

“Right now, everyone in our village is doing it, but if Kim falls out alone, wouldn’t that be a problem? And it protects your privacy.”

“is it?”

What a typical community looks like, intertwined with each other.

It didn’t seem easy for anyone to refuse an autograph here.

Of course not me.

At that time, Yoon Jeong-nam’s employee approached me.

“Here it is.”

“yes.”

Having received the consent form, I read the contents carefully.

If you sue on behalf of people and win, you get a 10% success fee.

“It will be worth the money.”

Dozens of people receive at least hundreds or thousands of payments, and 10% of that amount would be in the billions.

The office has to come out and bring people together.

I returned the consent form and said.

“I am okay.”

“Yes?”

“I plan to file a lawsuit individually if I get a divorce. There is no reason to move as a group.”

The staff member, bewildered by my words, said.

“But that reduces the odds of winning. We can put pressure on the government and the military more effectively when we all work together…”

“it’s okay.”

I got up from my seat and smiled.

“I am not particularly interested in an agreement.”

The briefing session ended with great acclaim.

And shortly thereafter, news broke out about a class action lawsuit by landowners.

-A class action lawsuit has been filed against the military by the owners of private land occupied by a military base near the gate. The owners who appointed the lawyer’s office as their legal representatives demanded compensation for damages to facilities and crops installed by the military without permission…

As I listened to the news, I smiled and said.

“Is the government even playing the press?”

As if explaining neutrally from a third party’s point of view, it implicitly concludes with the question of whether the lawsuit is the right thing to do in this situation.

Perhaps the news that the military and the government that received the complaint shed to disseminate public opinion.

“By the way, did something like this happen in a previous life?”

I was so busy at this time that I knew about the big things like Hunters rebelling and going into dungeons and protesting, but I can’t remember all of these things one by one.

I’m going out anyway

I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door.

“Well···”

there is nothing to eat

Water, eggs and kimchi are everything.

“…and obviously made a lot of money.”

He has land and has over 100 million in cash.

It’s the first time I’ve been wealthy like this, but there really hasn’t been a big change in my life.

“…let’s boil some ramen or eat it.”

The moment you put water in the pot and put ramen in it.

My cell phone started ringing.

“hello?”

-hello. This is Ji-man Hong from the Operation Support Division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Are you Mr. Jeong In-soo?

“I am Jung In-soo… the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport?”

-Yes. I called because I have something to tell you about the presence of a military base.

“Ahh.”

Looks like you’re going into a class action lawsuit.

“I think you made a mistake in checking the list. I did not participate in the lawsuit.”

Then Hongman burst out laughing and said:

-Yes. I know. You were the only landowner in a privately controlled area who did not participate in the lawsuit.

I know you called?

– May I know the reason for not participating in the lawsuit?

“I just didn’t do it because I didn’t want to.”

Not just litigation, but settlement as well.

– That’s right. The only difference is that the lawsuit has already been taken, so the government is taking this opportunity to reach an agreement with all land owners. The people who proceeded with the lawsuit were a little uncooperative, so I called Mr. Jeong In-soo, who did not participate in the lawsuit, to first settle an agreement…

Could it be that the reason I didn’t participate in the lawsuit was because I thought it was friendly to the government?

I got the street number too wrong.

“I have no intention of agreeing.”

-···Yes?

“Agreeing to an agreement does not mean that the military will use the land legally. I don’t want to leave anything on my land.”

Hong-man said, bewildered if the reaction was too different from what he had expected.

-that. It is for the safety of the residents and the public…

“I don’t want to hear stereotypes like that. As long as civilian control is lifted, it is the person who wants to sue them all and expel them. Make agreements with other people.”

-ruler. Wait a moment···!

I hung up the phone and said with a blunt expression.

“I’m quiet because I don’t think I’ll be able to make any money, so do I look like a hogu?”

It wouldn’t cost a few pennies at all and it would take a long time, so I just stayed quiet and ran right away.

“Ah. Ramen was also burned.”

And the next day.

“hello. Teacher.”

A man with a humble impression said with a sad smile.

“It’s called Hong Ji-man, whom I spoke to yesterday.”

“Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport?”

I said with a puzzled look.

“Are you going to come home now?”

“It’s… it has its own circumstances. Wait a moment. Can you really give me a minute?”

“You don’t agree? There are people who sue. I sued them for the settlement money, but I gave them some money and settled it.”

Hong Ji-man said with a frustrated expression at my words.

“That’s…they’re having a hard time negotiating because they keep telling me to contact the lawyer’s office, and lawyer Jeongnam Yoon is asking for too much money.”

“Then it seems easy because I’m alone?”

I walked past Hong Ji-man with a blunt expression on her face, and Hong Ji-man hurriedly followed me and said,

“no. no. You are wrong. misunderstanding. No, it’s because Mr. Jeong has the most land in the civilian-controlled area. Besides, we are planning to make a road necessary for supply and movement of military bases soon, but the road includes the land of Mr. Jeong…”

At Hong Ji-man’s words, I stood still.

“What did you say now?”

“Yes?”

“Are you going to make something necessary for supplying and moving military bases?”

“Uh… isn’t that all paddy fields? So I have to make a way…”

I stood there and thought for a moment, then said with a look of no help.

“We stand here and talk all the time, so we go to a cafe and talk.”
