How to Become a Black Market Tycoon

36 episodes

Dangjin Dungeon Goods Market finally opened.

“We will buy at the best price!”

“Once you enter, you will never regret it!”

Even though only 20 stores have been allowed to enter, the competition is fierce.

Even though everyone was assigned the same container house, each appealed to the hunters in their own way, such as some giving strength to the interior and some using handsome and beautiful employees.

“It looks really fierce outside.”

All of them must have acquired know-how through fierce competition outside.

“Still crowded, so it’s quite like a market.”

The work is done by others and the money is made by me.

Also, this is how business works.

A hunter passing by then came up to me and said,

“president.”

“hello. Jong-woo.”

“Are you sure you don’t run your own business anymore?”

“haha. Yes. Because it was a monopoly, I got a little bit of swearing, and now there are a lot of awakened people, so it’s difficult to do it alone.”

Then Hunter said with a sad expression.

“Still, it’s a little disappointing. When I looked at it roughly, the prices were subtly lower than when I was the boss.”

it’s bound to be

I still get the same 5% margin, but shouldn’t those merchants put their share on that?

“Instead, you don’t have to stand in line like before, and it’s fun to look around the stores.”

“It is, but . . . anyway.”

One image of a good boss for hunters was firmly planted.

Friendly, informative, and good price boss.

“By the way, there has been a lot of progress here.”

Hunter looked at the buildings under construction with a curious expression and said.

“At first, it was an empty field with only real container houses, but now there are even buildings. And above all else.”

Hunter said with a smile.

“There are places to drink and play.”

Hunter referring to the nightlife pub.

“Is the store okay?”

“Yes. I thought it wasn’t good, but the interior and the girls are better than any other room in the city? It’s a shame that the price is a bit high, but whatever. It’s close.”

I said with a smile.

“That is fortunate.”

How much money was spent on the interior there, but this kind of response should come out.

“Anyway, let’s go have a drink together next time. I’m going to shoot you.”

“okay. You work hard today.”

“Yes.”

Hunter, who was leaving the market like that, said with a sad expression on his face.

“By the way, have you heard that? I heard that there was a guild.”

“ah. Guild.”

Is it happening slowly now?

“Yes. Before that, I was just hunting close hunters, but this time it seems like they are going to create a corporation and run it in a corporate style.”

Hunter said with a curious expression.

“What do you think, boss?”

Hunters who come to me first when I have a question like this thanks to the image of a boss with good information.

Thanks to this, it was not uncommon for me to get information like this from my side.

“Not bad. It is true that moving as a group is much more advantageous in terms of unit price and safety than moving alone as an individual.”

“I see. So should we do it too? Thanks anyway! I will go.”

“Yes. Please go in carefully.”

I muttered as I looked at the back of the departing Hunter.

“Guildra…”

The reason why the guild was first created was to collect and sell the by-products they had gathered together in large quantities to receive a higher unit price.

Of course, even before that, it was common to form small groups with close hunters who were employed by companies, but this is the beginning of a full-fledged corporate guild.

“It will change completely later, but it still feels like a co-op.”

Later, the level difference between the hunters widened, and a class was formed among the hunters, and the guild became a power group.

Of course, this is after more time has passed.

I said, gazing again.

“In my mind, I want to lead a guild, but…”

Cooperatives are meant to create greater synergy by bringing people with common interests together.

As a buyer, not a producer, I have no common interest with them.

That means you don’t deserve it.

Of course, if Jae-Jin Lee had awakened, the story would be different.

“Wait a minute. Cooperatives?”

Even though I’m not a hunter, it doesn’t matter if I only serve the common interests.

“How about introducing a point system like a mart?”

The common interest is not limited to one dungeon item, but encompasses the entire Dangjin dungeon city.

“When you trade dungeon goods, you pay a certain percentage of points, and these points can only be used on my land.”

Hunters are good because they make additional profits, and merchants are good because consumption is activated.

Of course, there is nothing in the world where everyone is happy and happy.

If I introduce points, I am the one who suffers the most.

If you lower the unit price of dungeon items in a blindfolded fashion and turn it into points, the hunters will not be stupid and will retaliate.

They must also know the average price of dungeon items.

So for this policy to be effective, I really need to reduce my share to some extent.

However, the benefits of points are by no means negligible.

“It can only be used here, so it has the effect of tying the Hunter to this land.”

Originally, the price of the goods store in Dangjin Dungeon, which I operated, was famous for being good.

That’s right, the other dungeon shops have a big bang-for-the-buck structure that takes profits by trading with a small number of hunters, so the margin at one time is bound to be large.

On the other hand, since I have a monopoly structure, it is possible to separate and sell, and since it is my land, I do not pay the monthly rent.

Of course, it had the upper hand in terms of price.

Then, as merchants entered the store, the merits were a little shaken, but the average price of other dungeons was still there.

There, I give up some of my margin and add points.

Then, naturally, hunters will flock to this place where they can take a price advantage and use points at the same time.

Until then, even if there was a price advantage, the area was so backward that hunters were hesitant to come, but now buildings are popping up one after another and infrastructure is being prepared.

The existence of this point will attract hunters here and bind their feet.

“The more you think about it, the better. Once the points are fully settled, you won’t be able to do anything to me.”

A guild is ultimately organized to maximize profits, and although the precedence and precedence are different, my existence has a positive effect on the Hunters’ income.

In other words, even if the Hunters are not my allies, I can make them at least not become enemies.

“This is good.”

Besides, it is being developed around my land now, but in the future, a wider city beyond my land will be built.

The reason I’m seeing the monopoly effect right now is because it’s the only city near the dungeon, so the merits of my land are dispersed a lot.

At this point, this point will be of great power.

These points can only be used on my land.

Hunters will move around my land where they can use these points, and at the same time, merchants will try to enter my land where they can realize profits with points.

If that happens, my land that embraces Jungang-daero will become more and more the core area of Dangjin Dungeon City.

“I have to do this for sure.”

Considering the land price that will increase in the future and the intangible value through the relationship with the hunters, how many points is it worth?

It is still small and I can handle it, but I build it up from the bottom step by step to completely establish the point of living.

“okay. If you take my 5% to 2% off my share… no.”

Come to think of it, do I really need to write a monologue on my own?

I said with a smile.

“Dungeon Market Vendors.”

“Yes!?”

The merchants who entered the dungeon market said with a surprised expression.

“Shall we introduce points?”

“Yes. If that happens, the attracting effect will increase and the entire land will be activated.”

But the bosses don’t like it.

“Is it really necessary to do that? Business is still going well.”

“Iknow, right.”

Merchants, the immediate profit is important, so this is a response that is likely to come out.

Then a merchant said:

“Then how about doing this? We lower the unit price a little and return it to points.”

okay.

Why didn’t the word come out?

“Hunters are not stupid. Even if I don’t, I complain that the unit price has decreased since I left, but here it is a point and lower the unit price? Hunters will 100 percent resist.”

Then the merchants said with a worried expression.

“Then maybe…”

“Yes.”

I said with a smile.

“Let’s reduce the margin width. Only two percent.”

Introduction of a point system that forces merchants to bleed.

Merchants protested.

“president! This is not real!”

“Even if we don’t, we are competing with each other and looking at the margin to the minimum, so we’re going to reduce it further!”

I said looking at the merchants who protested.

“Of course, I am not saying that you are the only ones who want to take a loss. I’ll give up 2% of the 5% I’m supposed to get.”

A merchant said with a puzzled expression.

“Are you and your boss in the same position? The boss needs to reduce that by 2 percent, so there are many other businesses, so it won’t be a big hit, but it’s a big blow that half of our net income may be blown away!”

I said with a smile.

“Aren’t you earning enough to pay half of that?”

Then the merchants hesitated and said,

“That…that…”

“everyone. You are making a big mistake now.”

I got up from my seat and walked behind the merchants sitting around the table.

“This is an order, not a suggestion. Haven’t you forgotten?”

I said, holding a merchant’s shoulder.

“You are my salesperson.”

“That… that.”

“I am well aware that each of you earns thousands of monthly net income. You are earning as much as any other hunter.”

I took my hands off my shoulders and continued walking behind the merchants.

“Even if it is halved, you will earn enough to make other merchants envy. In other words.”

I said raising the corners of my lips.

“A 2% margin cut means that people will line up to accept it with a smile.”

So I circled around and sat at the top again.

“You have to pick up the interior value. Are you going to close the business after a day or two?”

Merchants are lowering their heads.

“Shall we increase the number of stores that were limited to just 20 people? Picking people who listen to me? Or is it just a water change?”

One of the silent merchants said in a quiet voice.

“sorry.”

Then the other merchants started talking one by one.

“sorry.”

“The thought was brief.”

I said with a smile.

“There were people who offered me hundreds of millions of seats. It must have been the decision that as long as it could occupy that position, it would be possible to draw that much money. But I refused. why? Because that money puts shackles on me.”

When you get money, you have to vomit that much.

Most of the people who offered money asked for a longer contract period or certain guarantees such as the same.

“I will guarantee your profits. than anywhere else. Instead, follow my instructions faithfully. That’s all my request is.”

This market has to be completely driven by my own will.

I looked at the merchants and said.

“Are you still against it?”

Then the merchants shook their heads and said,

“uh. There is not.”

I said with a smile.

“good. Then, introduce the point system right away.”

Park Yong-joo patted his shoulder and headed for the goods market.

“Ah-oh. I got hit in the shoulder by mistake and still throb.”

As they enter the market, the merchants shout each other out.

“Come over here!”

“We also have massage chairs!”

Normally, I would choose a store carefully and enter, but Yong-joo Park, who was bothered by everything because he was sick, headed to the first store he could see.

“welcome!”

“Please calculate this.”

The merchant checked the dungeon items that Park Yong-joo had given him and said.

“It’s 230 million won in all.”

Park Yong-joo said as usual.

“Please put it into your account.”

“Yes. Okay. oh But would you like to join the Dangjin Gate Association?”

Park Yong-joo blinked his eyes at the absurd merchant’s words and said.

“Dangjin…what? Combination?”

“Yes. This time, we created a union, and if you sign up, you will earn 4% of the transaction amount as points. These points can be used like real money at a store near here.”

Park Yong-joo said with a puzzled expression.

“Points? It’s not even a supermarket…”

“Then why don’t you join?”

“no. What. 4% is not a penny or two, but you have to do it. I’m just confused. But, isn’t it something like lowering the unit price and giving it a point?”

“Sure. It is a point made by tying the waist for the development of the union.”

Park Yong-joo nodded and said.

“I will join. What can I do?”

As such, the Dangjin Gate Association quickly began to swallow up the entire city.
