How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

“Why don’t you just sell us the land that will be used as a road?”

I shook my head and said.

“It can’t be.”

The more the Osan Group purchases land and develops it, and as the land price rises, the importance of the road I drilled increases as well.

And Oh Jeong-il knows that well too.

“I know what you are worried about. It’s because I own the road, so problems may arise in the future. But don’t worry.”

I said with a smile.

“It’s just my insurance. I promise you. As long as the Osan group does not harm me, I will never play with the ownership of the road.”

“I can’t convince people above me just by making such a verbal promise.”

“Then how about renting a road for a certain period of time, just like you did with the government?”

Oh Jeong-il closed his eyes for a moment and thought about it.

“How long?”

“Five years will be enough, right?”

“Then what does President Jung gain?”

“How much cooperation with Osan Group and land price increase?”

Even if the road is cleared with my cooperation, in the end, the Osan group, like me, must obtain permission to change the land use before full-scale development is possible.

If the Osan group steps in, it will be much easier to get permission for a change of use, and I use that precedent as an excuse to easily get permission.

Also, as Osan Group invests money to develop land, it goes without saying that the price of my adjacent land rises as well.

In exchange for clearing a path, I am very grateful.

I said with a smile.

“How is it? My suggestion?”

Eventually my proposal was accepted.

It was a business with nothing to lose from the perspective of Osan Group.

Of course, the intentions of me and the Osan group were a little different.

“You would think five years would be enough.”

At that time, you can negotiate with the land owners and open a new path, or you can watch and sell for a profit.

That’s probably the value of the land from the Osan group and people’s eyes.

It’s just an investment at the level of a stabbing because it looks like a possibility.

If I had known the true value of this land, it wouldn’t have ended like this.

“If I had the financial resources of the Osan Group, I would have announced the development plan on a large scale and then purchased it regardless of the real means and methods.”

Anyway, when these five years are over, the Osan group will have no choice but to be in trouble with me because of one road.

The value of the land is different just by the difference of whether there is a road connected to the main street or not.

I said with a smile.

“Shall we take it slow now?”

After negotiating with me, the Osan group moved quickly.

As a matter of fact, the situation has already been talked about to some extent, and the land in the immediate vicinity was purchased step by step and at the same time, the application for change of use was started in a swift manner.

Thanks to this, the application for change of use of my land is expected to be approved without difficulty.

“Good good.”

As soon as the permit is issued, all the businesses I own will be legalized and the land price will rise, so I literally just have to push forward.

They use the land as collateral to raise the building, and use the proceeds to raise the building again.

Just imagining it makes me happy

Then a hunter opens the door and comes in.

“welcome.”

Hunter said, putting a large backpack on the table.

“president. Please give me a good price.”

“Like you said, we will calculate the best price. Hold on to your worries.”

I opened the backpack that Hunter had put down.

“Let’s see. The leather . . . is in very bad condition.”

“I can’t help it because it shoots with a gun.”

When entering a dungeon, a hunter can enter and exit with an object up to 1m in all directions based on himself.

That’s why the early hunters went in with a gun they borrowed from the military and faced a monster, but of course they were a byproduct of a monster that had been ovulated with a gun.

“Use a sword or a spear if you can. They carry a lot of good things these days.”

So the alternative that came out was a weapon made of superalloy.

It is used to make weapons from hard alloys like tungsten alloy, but with the addition of the hunter’s superhuman physical abilities, he was able to deal with monsters enough.

“That’s because I’m still a little afraid of melee weapons…”

I said with a smile.

“It can be.”

Of course, being able to do it and putting it into practice are two different things.

I said, continuing to look at the items the Hunter had brought.

“I’m offering the best price, but you know the price isn’t the same these days, right?”

In the beginning, even a small piece of wood was sold for hundreds of thousands of won due to the dungeon premium, but as the number of hunters increased and goods were continuously supplied, the bubble was falling rapidly.

“I know. In the past, you could just bring a tree, but now that’s the end of it. So I brought this and that, is there anything okay?”

“Let’s see…”

I rummaged through my bag, pulled out a small hatchet, and said,

“Hand axe…”

A very simple and old looking hatchet.

“I brought it because the collectors liked it. What is the price of this?”

Since it was a weapon used by monsters, the price was high because there were quite a few maniacs, but it should be one or two.

In Korea alone, there was no meaning in collecting hundreds or thousands of pieces a day.

“That was a month ago, and now only the steel part is valuable. It is harder than Earth’s steel and has some unique properties, so they say they’re researching recycling it to make weapons. You can probably get about 5,000 won each.”

“ha. this can’t be either The price of crystals continues to fall, and the income is not what it used to be.”

A hunter who makes a sick sound, but this is rather normal.

Even as a hunter, it was strange to earn millions of won a day in an F-class dungeon.

“Would you like to dig it?”

“What can I do? have to sell I am not writing it myself.”

“All right. And… huh?”

As I continued to search through Hunter’s backpack, I took out a transparent bottle of blue slime.

“this···”

Is it slime slime?

“ah. I grabbed that slime-looking guy and brought it back.”

I opened the lid and smelled it.

“Sniff.”

A sour smell with a hint of acidity.

“Look out. He’s slow and easy to catch, but it melts bullets stuck in his body.”

“okay?”

I put my finger in the liquid.

“Huh!? Be careful!”

I ignored the Hunter’s words and focused on the sensations at my fingertips.

“It stings.”

The acidity felt in the mucus even though it was already dead.

Slime slime is also right.

I pulled out my fingers and closed the lid.

“Are you going to break it?”

“Ah… yes. That’s it.”

I put down the bottle and said.

“To be honest, no one would buy this.”

“Yes?”

It is inedible and has a strong acidity, so it is a rodent poison for the skin.

Slime slime itself is garbage with no place to use it.

However.

“Still, there shouldn’t be anything that you don’t buy while claiming to be a dungeon general store. I will give you 5,000 won per kg.”

At my words, Hunter said with an interesting expression.

“5,000 won per kg?”

The price is definitely not high.

However, compared to the difficulty of catching slimes, the price is not bad.

“Yes.”

“The price is fine. Shall I sweep you away with a sack?”

I said with a smile.

“Then even better.”

After making a deal with the Hunter, I looked at the bottle of slime slime and said.

“very good.”

Slime slime that is useless by itself.

However, the story changes when this slime slime meets crystallites.

It’s all about having a weak acidity, but if you put crystals in it, the digestive power of your life will be restored.

It does not rot, so if you keep supplying crystals, it treats garbage semi-permanently, and it is the best garbage disposal method that produces almost no harmful substances. It was called the garbage revolution later.

“Has this been popular since about a year or so?”

It is a fact that digestion is restored when it meets crystallized stone. It is a fact that can be known with a little experimentation, but what you know is a completely different area to apply and commercialize it.

Slime slime, which was thoroughly ignored because it was not worth money, started researching and publicized as a waste disposal method, and its price skyrocketed.

Of course, since slimes are so widespread, the supply increases in an instant, and the boom is quickly extinguished.

“If you save it and sell it when the boom explodes… it will be salty.”

Alternatively, you can collect slime slime and jump into the garbage business yourself.

Because it is a semi-permanent material that does not decay, once it dominates the market, it will become a steady cash cow.

In fact, the garbage business in each country was tightly held by the companies that entered it in the early stages with little change.

As a latecomer, to start a garbage disposal business, I had to collect slime slime, but there was no way to compete with a company that already had a lot of slime slime.

“okay. I’d rather have a garbage disposal business.”

Hue is the goat

Garbage inseparable from humanity.

Demand will be steady, and the scale will be enormous if you consider the garbage that has been buried in the ground for decades.

I said with a smile.

“I have to buy all the slime slime from all over the country.”

“Here you go! here! We will buy it at the best price!!”

The Seongbuk-gu dungeon was full of merchants who flocked to purchase dungeon items.

When a hunter passes by, merchants rush to compete for price.

“Come to our store! I will give it to you at a good price!!”

“no! Our store…!”

Then the Hunter ignored it and passed by.

“I have a regular customer.”

As the Hunter left, one of the merchants sighed and said.

“ha. It is not easy to do this now.”

“I know.”

In the beginning, it was not uncommon to earn hundreds of thousands of won a day by buying just one tree.

Naturally, more merchants flocked to the money.

However, as the dungeon premium gradually declined, merchants became increasingly immersed in fierce competition.

They solicit to attract even one more hunter, and fight over their eyes to buy even a little more.

Even so, the reason merchants could not give up on this was because it was money despite the bubble burst.

Even if you catch just one hunter well, you can make a lot of money, but who would give up on this job?

Paradoxically, the fierce competition means more money.

“You know that. Dangjin.”

“know. what is there Almost monopoly?”

“You say yes.”

“The land is the worst. I really envy dogs. You’re eating dozens and hundreds of people like us all by yourself.”

“a. It’s not that great though. The number of Awoken over there is less than one-tenth of this number.”

“Still, it’s not going to make billions of dollars.”

“It is. Anyway. They say they buy slime slime there?”

“Slime slime? That weird jelly? It’s of no use.”

Literally useless slime slime that cannot be crafted like wood or stone and has no rarity.

Then the fellow merchant nodded and said,

“uh. I bought it for 5,000 won per kg.”

“5,000 won per kg? Is the price okay? Even if it wasn’t, it was difficult to deal with what I had collected, but it worked out. But where are you going to use it?”

“That’s it, I don’t know. As long as we can get money, that’s enough.”

“It is.”

As soon as the unit price is set, slime slime parcels are pouring in from all over the country.

As I had been trained, I smiled and said to the staff who smelled and checked for acidity.

“It’s a lot bigger than I thought.”

When I heard the stories of the merchants who had contacted me, unlike the Dangjin Hunters, who got my assistance and only picked up the money when the market just opened, the hunters in other dungeons were indiscriminately bringing everything they could see.

Of course, the merchants who expected the dungeon premium to last a long time bought all of them, but among them, those that had no place to use, such as slime slime, became malicious stock.

I said with a smile.

“Okay, I collected the slime slime like this…”

Dominate Korea’s garbage market.
