How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

9 episodes

Hongjiman continued to fiddle with the cup of coffee and said.

“If you try to dig a road in your own paddy field, there is bound to be a strong backlash. So, we plan to speed up the settlement by reducing the number of people who are mainly owners of large land. Of course, Mr. Jeong, who has the largest amount of land, is one of those candidates.”

There is only one reason why I paid attention to Hong Ji-man’s words.

It was just the way.

As a matter of fact, all development starts with making a road and spreads out in all directions around the road.

In other words, it becomes the main street of the city.

And it was natural that the closer to the main street, the more expensive the land.

“Do you have any idea what the road is going to look like?”

Hongjiman took out his tablet and started the map app and said.

“If you look at it, we are going to install bunkers and fortifications in all directions around the gate here. Naturally, various construction equipment must be put in and supplies for the soldiers must be provided, but since it is a paddy field, crops are everywhere, and tractors barely pass through the road, so there is no way to transport supplies for thousands of soldiers.”

“It would be. There has to be a way to carry items that are meant to be used by at least a few thousand people.”

“Thank you for your understanding. So that’s what I planned…”

Hongman said as he drew his hand on the map.

“This is how we make a road from the national road to the gate. And this is your land.”

A road that passes through the edge of my land.

I said with a bewildered look.

“Are you going to make this plan?”

“Yes.”

The reason I looked at the map with a bewildered expression was simple.

This is because the road was exactly the same as the main street of Dangjin Dungeon City in the future.

Around the road, on both sides of the road were buildings where various guilds and companies moved in, as well as various commercial and entertainment facilities for hunters.

In other words, it was the center of the city center.

‘That road was originally built by the military.’

okay.

A road that is strong enough for a military truck to carry heavy equipment such as tanks and supplies without any problem exists all alone in the middle of the paddy field.

Of course, development is bound to be centered on that path.

So what if the road crosses the middle of my land, not the edge?

I mean, eating up every roadside of the Dangjin Dungeon City that will be developed in the future.

I’m greedy

salivating from the mouth

“For the sake of the country and the people… I’ll just ask. I’ve been doing something for a while, but thanks to this, I’m not the only one suffering from the hardships of front-line soldiers.”

“I will only ask you one thing. Does this mean that my land is pierced through here?”

“Yes.”

“Then, is it possible to reach an agreement by renting only this road?”

Then, after hesitating for a while, Hongman said.

“Of course, it is best for us to rent out the entire land … but if that doesn’t work, we have to go ahead with it.”

You can only rent land where the road runs, right?

“But if that happens, there are still a lot of damage to crops and other problems, so I recommend full rental if possible. After all, until civilian control is lifted, farming is impossible.”

I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about it.

“We will agree. In a way that only rents the road.”

Hongman sighed and said.

“ha. I’m sorry, but even so…”

“I won’t even charge a penny for rental.”

“Yes? Are you saying you don’t get paid?”

“In addition, I will never ask for any compensation for crop damage, and I will never take issue with it even if construction such as bunkers and fortifications are carried out on my land. If you wish, I can leave it on paper.”

I didn’t just rent it out, but I actually allowed everything.

Then Hong Ji-man said with a puzzled expression.

“go. Suddenly?”

“only.”

I said with my finger, drawing the path according to Hong-man’s original plan.

“This is the way it was originally planned.”

“Yes.”

I moved my finger to the side and said, drawing through the center of my ground, not the edge of the ground.

“Please change the plan and make a road like this. Other than that, I will surrender everything. This is my only condition.”

The director, who received Hong Ji-man’s report, said in a absurd voice.

-Is that because you thought it might be developed?

There was no way that people who had worked on land all their lives couldn’t figure out one of Jeong In-soo’s goals.

“It seems so.”

-Of course, it is true that progress is being made, but isn’t kimchi soup too much? The monster doesn’t recognize the entrance, but do you know what will happen when?

“What should I do?”

-Hmm.

After thinking for a while, the chief said.

– Did you say you were told to build facilities to your heart’s content without receiving any money?

“Yes. If you wish, you can leave it as a document.”

-If this happens, there is a place that goes back a little…

Hongman said in a cold sweat.

“Instead, the number of people you have to agree to to make a road goes down as it goes through the largest piece of land.”

-right. Besides, if you put this together well, you can turn it into a fairy tale. A righteous man who lent land free of charge for the country. Then wouldn’t it be much more advantageous to pressure other landowners?

“Yes.”

– Then let’s just do it. You must put out the fire immediately. Even if not, there is a riot in the military right now. riot.

Hongman nodded and said.

“All right. Then we will.”

Hong Ji-man, who came after talking to the boss, said.

“Then we will come to an agreement.”

I clenched my fists under the table.

‘nice!!’

It’s not like anything else, but the central street of the city is embracing it in my land?

It doesn’t cost a penny of mine, and the military takes care of it, so it’s free?

Where else is there more business than this?

Build as many military facilities as you want.

The military and the government think that this situation will last a long time, so they are trying to build roads and expand facilities, but soon after the Hunter boycott breaks out, the dungeon will be opened to the public.

“But Mr. Jung.”

“Yes.”

Hongman looked at me and said.

“The military says we need a supply warehouse to store supplies near the gate… Is it okay to build it on Mr. Jeong’s land? He told me to build it as much as I want, but the warehouse is quite large, so I think I need to tell you in advance.”

what?

Are you going to build a warehouse?

Isn’t this the perfect giving tree?

The day will come when the government and the military look pretty while I was alive.

“Anyway. Do you do any electricity or sewer work?”

“I don’t have any plans yet, but if you ever need…”

“do it. do whatever you want didn’t i tell you I will never take issue with it.”

I said desperately suppressing the burst of laughter.

“Do you need a place for the soldiers?”

It is perfect for later use as a dormitory for employees.

“haha. Anyway, you have to sleep in the bag. It’s near the gate, but I’m anxious, so where do I go to sleep?”

That’s a bit sad.

“Then, wouldn’t it be necessary to have a resting facility for the tired soldiers?”

“Uh… that’s right…”

I said after launching the Maps app.

“How about the warehouse and rest facilities? Then we can bring electricity and sewer here, which would be perfect.”

Hong-man, who confirmed the location I was pointing at, said with a puzzled expression.

“Isn’t this the location closest to the gate from Mr. Jeong’s land?”

The supply warehouse stores the purchased dungeon items, and the rest facility is used as a shop and a place to purchase dungeon items for hunters.

Also right next to the dungeon.

“Yes. Wouldn’t that make it possible to supply supplies to the soldiers more quickly?”

“Uh… Anyway, this is too close. And it’s not up to me to decide where to build it.”

Oops.

Were you too excited to talk?

I made up my mind and said

“Hmmmm. sorry. I don’t even know…”

“no. As the owner of the land, it’s only natural that you care about that.”

And after hesitating for a while, Hongman said.

“By the way, Mr. This is a personal question…”

“Yes.”

“The location of the road, and the storage and rest facilities… are you saying that because you think this land will be developed?”

I guess it was too blatant.

But even if I knew that, nothing would change.

“Yes. I have some in mind.”

“It’s my personal opinion… the land near the gate. I can’t say that there is no chance of it being developed. There is a little bit of potential, and safety is also somewhat secured. But that’s the only chance that the government will lift civilian control… well. I don’t think it’s very high.”

I said with a smile.

“Are you worried?”

“No, rather than worrying, you may be disappointed later. What kind of story is that?”

he’s a good guy

You give me advice with explanations that I don’t even need to do.

“thank you. I don’t expect too much either. It’s either good or it’s unavoidable. It has to be some kind of gambler.”

It’s a gamble with a 100% chance.

I got up from my seat and said.

“Send the contract as it is drawn up. I will sign it right away.”

After the agreement with the government was reached, the road construction began in earnest on my land.

As if it was true that it was urgent, heavy equipment mobilized in large quantities was plowing the field and making a road on it.

“It’s fast.”

According to Hong Ji-man, he planned to build a two-lane road first and then finally a three-lane road.

“It should be at least four lanes.”

As Dangjin Dungeon City was developed, the main street was extended to three lanes, but later on, that was not enough, so it always suffered from traffic jams.

You must secure at least 4 round trip lanes.

When traffic is smooth, people will be crowded and development will speed up.

As I was watching the road development from such a distance, an old man from a nearby village passed by and found me and said,

“tt. Where does a loach muddy the water?”

After not even participating in the lawsuit, it became known that I had reached an agreement first and provided land to the military for free.

“Ew. That’s why you shouldn’t associate with foreigners. Oh Young-soo, why did he sell the land to that Seoul guy…?”

I laughed bitterly as I watched the old man walking away.

“You will have to ask me a lot later. old people.”

Now, when development begins, it will stretch out from left to right with that road as its axis.

But what if I lock one of the roads because it’s private property?

The lands on that road are suddenly blind.

That is, it becomes a dead land.

And I plan to use this power actively.

It’s not like Oh Young-soo, but among the people in this village who did not dispose of the land, they became very rich, and they worked together with Oh Young-soo to suck the backs of ordinary people.

I said with a smile.

“Now all that remains is to wait.”

The Hunter collective boycott.
