Franchise God Episode 1232

Chapter 285 Summer and Winter in the Archipelago (2)

“We’re already in a recession, so we need to at least ease our worries about food. The Japanese government doesn’t have the ability to do that, so I’ll have to do it.”

“Is this to dull Japan’s suffering and push it deeper into the quagmire in the long run?”

“That’s the fault of those who ignore it because it’s less painful while clearly watching their own hands and feet rot away, and I’m just being purely kind. It’s the characteristic of narrow-minded people to digest outside kindness with malice.”

***

-If robots replace jobs at this rapid pace, Japan will fail!

Economic experts are crying out every day, and Japanese politicians and businesspeople are also aware of this.

It’s just that they themselves are turning a blind eye.

Because of this selfishness of being satisfied with the immediately improving profit structure and thinking that I only need to eat well and live well.

“Is it the fault of the person who sold me chocolate cheaply because I ate too much chocolate and my teeth are all rotten? He’s an adult, not a child.”

“But such public opinion can be formed among Japanese people. Shouldn’t we take action?”

“That’s just how they are. Leave them alone. If you think they’re going to settle down, blockade them at sea with Zumwalt, launch a carrier squadron, and pound them with bombers. They’ll listen to you. Don’t I have an atomic bomb or a fusion bomb?”

“You have both.”

“You have to beat up an island nation to make them listen. But other island nations won’t listen even if you beat them to death. I’ve given up on disciplining them many times.”

“Are you speaking British?”

“uh.”

Kyushu was already showing signs of a mass exodus of residents.

This is because Android Freedom has been gradually taking over jobs starting from Kyushu, which is close to Korea.

When residents were planning to leave Kyushu, Suyeong Farm quickly bought up their houses and land at a good price.

I’ve been collecting properties as soon as they come up for sale.

Even so, I can’t spend all the money I earn in Japan and have to send it back to Korea.

This is because Japanese people have a particularly strong tendency to not move from where they have lived unless absolutely necessary.

“It’s natural for the provinces to die before the capital.”

The number of residents leaving Kyushu and moving to other regions has increased compared to the past.

Even so, it was still a long way to go before we could take over all of Kyushu.

“Still, it’d be easier than sweeping away Cheongdam-dong.”

“Because the number of properties for sale in Cheongdam-dong has dried up, the desire to own real estate and live there is actually increasing.”

Real estate transactions in Cheongdam-dong have been frozen for a long time.

Lease contracts were actively taking place, but sales transactions were virtually evaporating.

The value of Cheongdam-dong actually went up because Ha Soo-young swept up the property as soon as she came out.

It didn’t stop there, and prices in Sinsa-dong and Samseong-dong, adjacent to Cheongdam-dong, also rose.

Celebrities and wealthy people living in Cheongdam-dong have no reason to leave such a nice neighborhood, so they are not putting their properties on the market.

Ha Su-young was inadvertently driving up the price of land in Gangnam.

“If things continue like this, we might even sweep Kyushu before we sweep Cheongdam-dong.”

“How much has the population of Kyushu decreased since the first shovel was turned for the swimming farm?”

“It went from 12.7 million to 12.5 million. That’s a decrease of 200,000 people.”

200,000 is not a small number, but it seems like a trivial number when compared to units exceeding ten million.

“By the way, I should show my sincerity to former Prime Minister Hisataro… What would be good?”

For Prime Minister Hisataro, introducing robots is a business that is neither here nor there.

Nevertheless, he exerted his influence in the central government to make it easier for them to settle down.

Of course, if you show your sincerity to him, he will help you in various ways in the future.

“Cutting grain prices and opening seafood stores are not of much help to the Prime Minister. They can’t be considered as tangible gifts. What good would that be…?”

“This is an item that can help the Prime Minister make personal money while eating away at the Japanese treasury. Even with my high-end calculation skills, it’s hard to select this.”

Prime Minister Hisataro wants money, but he also wants influence that can make the Japanese government nervous.

It was for this very reason that he focused on growing rice, the staple food.

The current Japanese government is structured so that a single word from Prime Minister Hisataro can cause the rice supply rate to hit rock bottom, as there is almost no overseas imports.

Even he is a senior politician who exerts political influence behind the scenes. Even the current prime minister cannot help but be at a loss.

Prime Minister Hisataro was satisfied with his current situation, where he could make money through rice farming and, after retiring, wield power over the Japanese government.

“We’re already doing enough with the livestock feed business, so should we increase the livestock industry? Or…?”

Ha Soo-young thought about it carefully and then made a decision.

“Yeah, when I can’t decide on something, it’s chicken.”

“Is it chicken?”

“Let’s land the swimming chicken in Japan. Let’s link it with Kyushu and deal with it together.”

***

Swimming farms have been targeting areas with small populations and low density rather than densely populated areas in Kyushu, such as Fukuoka City, Kitakyushu City, and Kumamoto City.

Among them, Akune City in the southwestern coastal area of ​​Kyushu was targeted this time.

A small coastal city with a population of only 19,000.

President Toyokuni, who received the call, quickly flew to Cheongdam-dong.

“Are you saying that you want to buy the entire Akune City?”

“Yes. Isn’t this a city that is scheduled to disappear anyway? If the Prime Minister helps, I think we can clear out the residents and expropriate the land.”

“Well, Akune City is a small city with a population of less than 19,000 people… ”

Toyokuni couldn’t answer hastily and let the words flow.

Even for a small city, moving the entire population to another place is a political burden.

“I know what your worries are. I will solve it for you. Since you’re here, try this.”

As Ha Soo-young instructed, Android Freedom brought out some crispy fried chicken.

When chicken suddenly appeared, Toyokuni looked at Ha Su-yeong in bewilderment.

“Oh, it looks like you’ve never tried our swimming chicken before.”

“I’m embarrassed. In fact, it’s been five years since I came to Korea for tourism, not for business.”

“Then you may not know. Just try it once.”

The moment he carefully tasted the chicken, President Toyokuni’s eyes filled with astonishment.

Ha Soo-young smiled evilly.

“How does it taste?”

“Oh, how can a single piece of chicken taste like this… It can’t even be compared to KFC chicken or convenience store chicken!”

“Of course. It’s chicken fried in oil made from ground golden umbrella mushrooms. It can’t be bad.”

“You make oil from those expensive golden umbrella mushrooms and use it to fry chicken?”

Toyokuni was shocked again, and seeing that, Ha Su-yeong could tell that Japan really had no interest in the situation of returning to Korea.

‘While Korea likes to watch its own mistakes, it still grits its teeth and turns a blind eye to things that are going well.’

“I also know that KFC is the representative chicken brand in Japan. Korean chicken has been struggling for the past few years, but it is just starting to gain popularity thanks to the Korean Wave.”

“…….”

Since it was a field he was unfamiliar with, Toyokuni kept his mouth shut and just listened.

“Now, all chicken stores in Korea use the Golden Silk Umbrella Mushroom Oil sold by our Suyeong Farm. The taste difference is so great.”

Suyeong Chicken was selling Hwangbi mushroom oil on equal terms to self-employed business owners who wanted to start a chicken business without having to join a franchise.

That’s why it doesn’t get criticized even though it’s the only franchise chicken brand with over 60,000 stores.

The conditions for franchisees were so generous that it was almost insulting to compare them to previous chicken franchise brands.

“Then what the Chairman would like to discuss is…….”

“I’m planning to launch a Suyeong Chicken brand in Japan, and I’d like to work with the Prime Minister. Like with Suyeong Farm, I’d like to partner with him.”

“With this level of taste, I think they would be able to conquer the Japanese chicken market even if they went it alone.”

“If I was only going to do the chicken business, I would have gone into it alone.”

“It’s Akuneshiro.”

Toyokuni quietly muttered the name of a small coastal city with a population of 19,000.

“We need to build more farmland and ranches in Kyushu, and to do that, Your Excellency the Prime Minister’s help is absolutely essential. And honestly, how much money can you make selling chicken?”

“I know what you mean.”

Toyokuni was determined to empty Akune City by relocating 19,000 people to other regions.

At that time, Ha Su-young said.

“How about signing a chicken franchise contract with the residents of Akune City?”

“yes?”

“We’ll let them move to a different region than Kyushu and open a franchise store. Since it’s a business with guaranteed profits, there won’t be much opposition even if the land is expropriated. In fact, they might even like it and move there.”

“Oh, right.”

Toyokuni’s complexion brightened.

If appropriate compensation in that way is provided in addition to the land acquisition fee, the residents will move without much complaint.

“I think this is an appropriate anecdote that will show the Prime Minister’s generosity to the people and will also help ‘Hisataro Chicken’ have a positive image throughout Japan in the future.”

“That’s a good idea. I think the Prime Minister will think positively about it too.”

“Then, please go back and say something nice to me. Oh, and tell me not to worry about not having fried chicken even once in my life. Among the owners of our Suyeong Chicken, there are many who have never been able to properly boil ramen before and then opened a franchise.”

This means that even if it is a dark night, they will fully support the store operation without any problems. This is one less thing for Toyokuni to worry about.

“Okay. I will convey your message to the Prime Minister.”

Toyokuni returned to Japan and immediately went to see the Prime Minister to explain the franchise chicken business.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to list out in detail the many reasons I had struggled with on the plane.

The Prime Minister reacted positively as soon as he heard the words franchise partnership.

“So you’re saying you’ll make me something like Koriyama Sushi?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The swimming group’s restaurant franchise business is an item that never fails. If they’re going to give it to me, then of course I should do it.”

“And Chairman Ha Su-yeong wants to secure more land in Kyushu and expand agriculture and livestock farming.”

“It will ultimately help me, so of course I should help.”

Thus, Prime Minister Hisataro simultaneously moved both the central government of Japan and the Kyushu local government.

[Reorganize the dying Akuneshi!]

When the sudden announcement of the urban redevelopment project was made, Akune residents naturally rose up in protest.

No matter how generous the compensation offered, asking them to leave the neighborhood they had lived in their entire lives was an unacceptable demand.

It was at that time that Hisataro Agriculture came out.

“How desperate must you be? Former Prime Minister Hisataro, as someone with a long history with Akune City, sympathizes with the suffering of its residents.”

Prime Minister Hisataro didn’t even know where Akuneshi was, but that didn’t matter.

“Hisataro Farm is a company that supplies grain and livestock feed throughout Japan. We make a promise with our name on it.”

Akune City residents also knew that Hisataro Agriculture monopolized Japan’s grain market.

Every bag of rice they bought had the name Hisataro engraved on it, and Hisataro was a former prime minister who would remain in their memories for a long time.

That’s why Hisataro Agriculture’s persuasion was easy to accept.

“How about moving to the city and opening a chicken franchise? The land acquisition fee is sufficient. We at Hisataro Group will provide all the support.”

After much deliberation, the 19,000 residents of Akune City all decided to accept Hisataro Agriculture’s proposal.

In this way, a small coastal town in southwestern Kyushu was taken over by Ha Su-yeong.
