How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

19 episodes

A surprise surge in the unit price of slime slime that had been rising little by little.

The price increase was so large that even the companies that had been following the metallurgical industry stopped.

And the same goes for Daehyun.

“7,500 won…”

Kim Dae-hyun’s worries deepened as the unit price skyrocketed not long after talking to him.

“Let’s just sell it. If it’s 7,500 won, you can eat more than 30% of it even if you can’t.”

At the words of Vice President Lee Dong-ho, Kim Dae-hyun muttered.

“30 percent yield. Not bad.”

As Kim Dae-hyun seemed to agree, Lee Dong-ho nodded and said.

“So. Where are you going these days to get such a return? is not it?”

The profit of 30% of the investment was obviously quite substantial.

But there is no end to human greed.

“Now it’s 30% profit, but no one knows if it will be 50% or double in the future.”

Lee Dong-ho frowned at Kim Dae-hyun’s words and said.

“Don’t you think the other way around? We don’t even know about this slime. What to do if you make a mistake and lose money!!”

“High risk, high return. To make money, you have to take risks.”

Daehyun Kim told the staff.

“Do you have any stock today?”

“that is···”

The staff looked at him and said.

“Inquiries about unit price keep coming, but the actual transaction is still …”

“Then you’re saying that Dangjin is actually getting things at that price right now.”

Kim Dae-hyun bit his lip and said.

“Are you willing to take the risk and go further or give up here…”

Lee Dong-ho said in an urgent voice.

“Daehyun-ah. Let’s get our hands dirty here. There is a lot of money already invested, but if you follow up and lose money, then the company is really at risk!”

Then Kim Dae-hyun, who had been thinking for a while, said with a firm expression.

“let’s go.”

“What?!”

“Wait here? If we ask Dangjin for a unit price, what will he think? You think we’re apart.”

“Are you going to keep going because of your pride?”

“Is it because of my pride? The moment we take an action to rob our hands, the control of this fight is completely passed on to Dangjin. In that situation, if they suddenly drop the unit price, that’s a loss. So I’d rather just pretend to follow and dispose of the inventory little by little afterwards.”

At Kim Dae-hyun’s words, Lee Dong-ho said, stroking his chin.

“So, let’s keep the unit price at the current level while at the same time disposing of inventory little by little?”

“okay. Although the number of competitors has increased a lot, we have the largest number of products except for Dangjin. If we say such a thing, the market itself will inevitably shake. So, for now, it’s better for us to pretend to be following. Of course, then the slime can really hit the jackpot.”

After thinking for a while, Lee Dong-ho sighed and said.

“ha. okay. That seems to be the best option for now.”

“great.”

Daehyun Kim told the staff.

“We also raise the unit price.”

“How much would you like to raise?”

Daehyun Kim said after thinking for a while.

“We also have 7,500 won.”

Competitors, who were paying attention to the soaring unit price, reacted in two ways.

The one who follows me like Daehyun and the one who wants to shake off his hand at this opportunity.

-president. Hanjin C&T wants to sell its inventory.

“How much?”

– It is said to be about 30 tons.

I thought for a while and said.

“Tell me that you are buying all 30 tons.”

The reason for raising the unit price is to increase the supply of slime slime by hunters by inducing additional competition from other companies.

Of course, we will stop the purchase altogether later, but we need to take an action to accept it first so that other companies can enter the competition with more confidence.

To do that, I have to keep the 7,500 Maginot line firmly.

At least the 7,500 line must be assured that it will not collapse, so the competition will become even fiercer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t invest indefinitely.

“Instead, please tell me that you only buy 2 tons a day because there is a financial problem.”

You can’t take all 30 tons at once.

Pretending to be accepted first, in this way, you take the time to induce the bubble to continue to fill.

To make you think that the value of slime slime is more than 7,500 won, and to think that it is more advantageous to keep it and sell it later.

-All right.

Of course, even after doing this, the bubble may not fill up as much as I thought it would.

But it doesn’t matter.

When several companies participated in the war, my operation was already successful.

From now on, it’s just the difference between making a bigger profit or ending up with a small profit.

After talking to the staff, I said with a smile.

“ruler. Go and ask for the bait.”

The unit price skyrocketed to 7,500 won and stagnated because of the companies trying to get out of the middle.

However, the unit price, which was firmly maintained at 7,500 won despite the existence of companies that are going out of hand, started to fluctuate little by little as more and more companies showed interest, and then started an upward race again.

Then, more and more slime slime attracted people’s attention, with some of the companies trying to get out of hand and lock their inventory again.

A hunter said with a surprised expression.

“Is this a good price?”

Then the merchant smiled and said,

“Yes. This is the hottest these days. There are already quite a few Awoken who specialize only in slime.”

“Where the hell are you using this?”

“Rumors say that it is used as a medicine… but I do not know the details.”

The merchant shrugged and said.

“Still, there are a lot of people who buy these things, so it must be because there is something useful somewhere.”

“Hmm.”

Hunter said with a smile.

“It’s easy to catch, but at this price… do you keep buying at this price?”

“Maybe the price will go up even more? The price keeps going up these days, so I’m collecting to secure stock.”

“okay? The price may go up…”

As companies rush in, the price rises, and as the price rises, the hunters also bring more slime slime, continuing a virtuous cycle.

So, the slime mucus gradually got out of Jeong In-soo’s hand and started running, looking only forward, like a horse unbridled.

“Woojin Industry 8,200 won.”

I said with a smile.

“It is now.”

Now the real use of slime slime doesn’t matter.

For companies that deal with slime slime, slime slime has been a forbidden place where the price continues to rise.

Here, even if I shout out that slime slime is useless, won’t companies actively deny it?

To admit that fact is to deny the value of the slime slime they have collected.

“This is how I use what I got from the operation week.”

I can understand why people get hurt even though they know the operator.

The reason is greed.

The problem is the greed that you will be fine if you jump on the plane well and only suck honey.

Of all the companies that buy slime slime right now, is there really not a single company that doubts the real value of slime slime?

I can’t.

It’s kind of like rolling a bomb.

Blinded by the immediate Congolese, the bomb that endlessly increases the risk.

“ruler. Now is the time to step out.”

I picked up my cell phone and called Jae-Woon Lee.

-Yes. president.

“I have an important message, so please ask everyone to come up.”

In order for no one to sneak out, the cooperation of the staff is absolutely necessary.

We have to pretend we are buying by raising the unit price, but it is difficult if the employee leaks that fact to the outside.

After a while, about 10 employees rushed into the office.

I looked at the staff and said.

“The story I’m going to tell you from now on is an important thing that should never be counted outside.”

The cooperation of the staff is essential.

However, there is no trust between the employees, me, or each other to have full trust.

If so, you have no choice but to make up for that lack of faith with money.

“Instead, as long as you ensure security, we will definitely reward you for that. If there is anyone who would like to step out of this business, please raise your hand and go out now.”

Then all the staff were silent.

I said with a smile.

“good. I think everyone agrees. Please listen to me from now on.”

As rumors circulated, the price of slime slime continued to skyrocket.

8,500 won.

9,000 won.

And the slime slime that surpassed 10,000 won soon.

When the situation became like this, many hunters became fascinated with collecting slime slime, and the supply of slime slime to the market continued to increase.

However, artificially generated supply and demand will eventually lead to dissonance.

When some companies that had been taking the hunters’ supplies as if they were competing with one another fell out of the unit price competition due to lack of funds, the unit price suddenly stopped at 10,500 won.

Then, companies and merchants who were competitively buying slime slime began to fight each other.

They also felt it instinctively.

That this is a major turning point.

“…and what about Dangjin?”

Lee Dong-ho swallowed his saliva at Kim Dae-hyun’s words and said.

“The unit price is … the same as us, 10,500 won.”

Dangjin, who was leading the situation, from a certain moment, reversely follows the unit price of other companies.

I knew it was strange, but I thought it was just a moment to catch my breath.

That’s because the will of Jeong In-soo of Dangjin seemed firm.

However, even though the unit price has stopped at 10,500 won, Dangjin does not even move.

“…isn’t it supposed to stop like this?”

Daehyun threw himself into a train that was already running.

At first, it was planned to sell stock little by little while pretending to follow the unit price, but as slime prices continued to rise, Daehyun also became passive in disposing of the stock.

The price is going up day by day, and I thought it would be a loss if I sold it now.

For Daehyun like that, the train called slime slime should never stop.

To stand still in the capitalist world means that it has lost its growth engine and has only one thing left to do is fall.

At Kim Dae-hyun’s words, Lee Dong-ho shook his head and said.

“no. I can’t. It’s just… hesitating for a while. It has been steadily rising all this time.”

However, Daehyun Kim still spoke with a firm expression on his face.

“Something is strange. I feel bad.”

Lee Dong-ho, who always thought negatively, spoke hopeful words and Kim Dae-hyun, who insisted on collecting slime slime, is rather anxious.

Daehyun Kim said after thinking for a while.

“I need to check.”

late dawn.

On a beach near Dangjin, a man was looking everywhere with an anxious expression.

“I was told to come here for sure.”

Then a man appeared through the darkness.

It was Kim Dae-hyun.

“welcome.”

“Hey!!”

The man said with a surprised expression at the sudden appearance of Kim Dae-hyun.

“that. Pay a little for your popularity and go. You were surprised!”

“sorry.”

“after. Anyway, what do you want to ask? Knowing that you are vacant could be a big deal.”

Then Kim Dae-hyun said with his eyes shining.

“Are there any big problems?”

“Yes. These days, security is being strengthened, and employees are also monitoring their commuting to and from work.”

“Is it something to do with slime slime?”

As the man nodded, Daehyun Kim held out an envelope and said:

“ruler. This is the money I was talking about.”

The man with the envelope counted the money and said:

“…that’s right. 100 million won.”

“Now tell me. Why is Dangjin Jeong not raising the unit price?”

The man looked at him and said.

“If you tell me .

“I promise.”

“That’s true…”

Kim Dae-hyun, who had heard all of the man’s story, said with a firm expression.

“That’s right…”

“Yes.”

Then, Daehyun Kim pondered for a moment and said.

“Isn’t that a lie? If it is a lie, there is no extra charge.”

“Gosh. Absolutely.”

said the man with a smile.

“Then when is the extra money…”

“We will check if it is real and if the information is real, we will deposit it right away.”

After Kim Dae-hyun had finished saying those words, the man said with a mouthful.

“Zeep. It would be great if I could get the extra money.”

The man took out his cell phone with a sad expression and dialed somewhere.

“Yes. That’s me. I was supposed to pay 1 million won first and then receive an additional 200…”

The man looked at him and said.

“You’re really paying 1.5 times, right?”

It is obvious that they will try to steal information from employees using money as bait.

It is almost impossible and inefficient to follow the employees and block them one by one.

Stealing information with money as bait?

If so, stop blocking it with bigger money.

I said with a smile.

“of course. As promised, we will unconditionally give you 1.5 times the amount offered by the other party. So, if you are contacted like now, actively meet. Receive your money with peace of mind and freely share information.”

-thank you! president! thank you!

After finishing the call, I raised the corners of my lips and said.

“Be more confused. What is real and what is fake.”

Because the more you move around like that, the more favorable the situation will be for me.
