Franchise God Episode 1258

Chapter 289 Volcanic Eruption (3)

[Here’s the main point, everyone.]

A comprehensive notice has been posted to the entire swimming group for the first time in a long while.

[Our neighboring country, Japan, is currently suffering from a nationwide natural disaster.]

All the restaurant owners who were in the food service business under the shadow of the swimming group, including Chicken, stopped what they were doing and read it with bated breath as soon as the notice was posted.

[In particular, due to the food shortage, 130 million Japanese citizens are in a situation where they will not be able to eat properly for the time being. They have money, but they cannot buy rice and bread to exchange for it.]

[However, our swimming group is having trouble dealing with the overflowing food supply. You, the franchisees, must also be feeling that the growth of sales has reached its end due to the domestic market of less than 60 million people.]

“Is it okay to use the term ‘offensive end point’ here? Something seems off….”

“Self-employment is a war. Thinking about what the farmer’s association president used to say, I can understand why he used that word.”

[It is time for us to declare unlimited advance into Japan to help the starving Japanese people and to help our empty bank accounts.]

[Let’s leave the stores to our trusted family, friends, and partners for a while and focus on Japan. Just as Japan helped themselves by providing a supply base during the Korean War, let’s help ourselves by providing a food base for Japan.]

[Let’s go. To the archipelago! I will always be at the forefront!]

After reading the entire notice, franchise owners were troubled.

“Isn’t it dangerous? With so many volcanoes erupting.”

“It’s stopped now. The fact that the head of the farmers’ association is going in person means that the volcano will not erupt again. Isn’t that because there is certain information?”

“information?”

“The farmer’s chairman is very close to the United States, so he must have gotten the best information somewhere. That’s why he’s taking the lead and telling us to follow.”

“Well, that could be the case.”

“Listen to what the farmer’s association president said. If there’s anyone who has suffered a loss, tell them to come forward. Everyone is making a lot of money and living comfortably. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll regret it for a long time later.”

The hesitant store owners all made up their minds.

“Okay! Let’s go! To Japan!”

***

Dozens of Queen Stallion large transport helicopters flew nonstop between Japan and South Korea, carrying supplies.

The items it carries mostly look like containers at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, we could see that it was not a container, but a large food truck.

A food truck boasting a huge size that looks like three containers connected together.

Queen Stallion helicopters flew back and forth between Korea and Japan non-stop to deploy these food trucks all over the country.

The food trucks were divided into three large rows.

The first row was for driving and resting, and the power unit.

The driver’s seat has a function that folds down to create a rather comfortable bed when you’re resting.

Because a comfortable resting and sleeping space is essential for long-term outdoor business.

Additionally, the first row was equipped with a water purification facility, which could produce clean water anytime, anywhere.

Of course, it didn’t create water out of thin air, but was a device that sucked in river water and the like and turned it into pure distilled water.

Because it was distilled using heat rather than using a purification filter, the produced water could be drunk without worrying about contamination or bacteria.

The second row was the cooking area.

Here, they set up a stand, cook, and do outdoor business.

Finally, the third row was a refrigerator for storing groceries and drinking water.

In preparation for the expected influx of customers, a separate freezer the size of a container was installed.

In this way, food trucks were spread all over the Japanese archipelago, and eventually franchise owners who wanted to operate food trucks came to Japan with their employees.

Kim Hak-ju, who runs a swimming chicken restaurant in Chungcheong Province, looked at the food truck with deep emotion. The three employees who came with him were standing next to him.

“But boss, how do we refuel this?”

“They said that since it’s solar power, I can use it as much as I want without worrying?”

“Really? Is solar power really that efficient these days?”

“But I don’t know if solar power generation will work properly with the sky like that.”

One of the employees pointed to the sky.

The sky, covered in volcanic ash and obscured by clouds, was dark as if covered with dark clouds.

Until the floating volcanic ash flows away or settles somewhere, Japan will have a hard time farming.

“I don’t know. I wonder if he sent it with such confidence because he had thought about it all. Do you think the farmer’s association president would have sent a solar food truck without knowing the state of sunlight in Japan?”

In fact, solar power is a disguise.

I never imagined that a food truck would be equipped with a wireless power receiving chip and receive unlimited electricity from the Gangneung Power Plant.

“If our president were a real farmer’s association president, I would praise him unconditionally.”

“Inma, you are worthy of praise. Just look at the path you have walked so far. You have not made a single mistake or failed at anything. And you also say that your heart is wider than the Pacific Ocean.”

The employees were giggling among themselves, saying that the boss had started it again.

I could understand that feeling.

President Kim Hak-ju, who was always being ripped off by the franchise headquarters while running a chicken restaurant, was eventually incorporated into Suyeong Chicken.

Suyeong Chicken also invested all of the initial interior costs, and its franchise fees were also overwhelmingly lower than those of the existing headquarters.

Here, the prices of raw chicken, oil, sauce, and other supplies were cheap, there was no bullying, and above all, franchisees were allowed to make the most profits.

After changing the sign to Swimming Chicken, the income he brings home has increased more than tenfold, so I can’t help but praise him.

“Anyway, Japan has really fallen apart. Phew……”

One of the employees looked around and clicked his tongue.

The city itself appears to be fine at first glance.

However, fallen volcanic debris still remains in an ominous state, and roads are damaged in many places, making it difficult for cars to pass.

Construction vehicles are working on repairs mainly on the roads, but they look insignificant compared to the overall scale of the damage.

“But if the number of deaths and missing is less than 5,000, then the damage was really small, considering the volcano erupted so much. We were actually really lucky.”

“Is that so?”

“The property damage was concentrated in industrial complexes and farms, so many people survived. At this level, compared to the scale of the disaster, the damage was almost non-existent.”

“Wait a minute. Then, wouldn’t that be a huge burden on the national administration?”

“yes.”

The employees’ expressions became slightly clouded as if they realized something.

Compared to the scale of the disaster, the number of casualties is extremely small, but the property damage is very large.

Many people survived, but industrial and agricultural areas were reduced to ashes.

Above all, the state of national finances is still alive.

That means… … .

“Be prepared. You’ll be so busy that you won’t even have time to go to the bathroom, let alone sleep.”

Guests began to flock in like clouds from afar.

***

“Please give me a chicken.”

“Give me three chickens.”

“I need chicken.”

A torrent of Korean orders poured in through the poor translation app.

Residents who couldn’t wash properly due to broken water pipes were waiting in line for chicken.

For people who have been starving for a long time, fatty foods like chicken are very harmful, but they were not starving.

I’d just been eating a little less than usual for a few days, and now I had no way of getting groceries. It wasn’t like I was going to get sick from eating chicken.

The swimming group came in at just the right time to do some seasonal business.

Kim Hak-ju and his staff fried chicken without stopping.

Even though the air conditioner was running at full blast and blowing cold air, my head felt like it was going to melt and I felt dizzy.

It’s not because it’s really hot, it’s because there are just too many customers.

I can’t even remember how many hours ago it was last time I took a break.

And then the tearful reinforcements arrived.

“We’ll take care of it for a while, so take a rest.”

“Freedom? How on earth did you guys do that?”

“The swimming group has decided to provide support for two Android Freedom units per food truck. We will provide a one-day free trial service. If you wish to continue using the service after the trial period ends, you must pay 15,000 won per unit per hour.”

“Pay it. Pay it. So don’t go anywhere and just help us here. Got it?”

“All right.”

Thanks to the arrival of Android Freedom support, Kim Hak-ju was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The same support was extended to other food trucks.

Android Freedom’s support was like rain in a drought, when there were so many more people than expected and we were so busy that we couldn’t even happily consider hiring more staff.

Suyeong Chicken, Suyeong Restaurant, Suyeong Ocean.

Food trucks selling chicken, ramen and tuna sashimi have been a big hit with residents who lack access to food.

Because large cities tend to suffer from greater food shortages due to their size, food trucks operate 24 hours a day, with their lights on.

***

Ha Su-young was in Tokyo.

It was for the purpose of supervising and managing the fisheries center.

In fact, he could have been absent, but he had to set an example to show franchisees that doing business in Japan was safe.

The reason franchisees can run food trucks in Japan without fear of another volcanic eruption is because Ha Su-young is in Japan.

I was bored coming alone, so I brought Jang Hyo-ju with me.

“But why a camper van?”

“Right now, hotels in Japan aren’t that good. The gas and water have all been cut off, so hot water doesn’t come out properly.”

“Wow, was the damage that bad?”

“This is a small amount. In the beginning, the Japanese rich thought Japan would collapse and tried to escape overseas. It would be fortunate if it ended with just some infrastructure damage and the loss of industrial complexes.”

“Then how much damage did you suffer?”

“My guess is that the property damage will amount to at least three or four trillion dollars.”

“……That’s incredible.”

“Hey, compared to a volcano eruption, it’s basically the same as not suffering any damage. It wouldn’t be strange if the entirety of Japan was covered in lava.”

Ha Su-yeong was faithfully fulfilling his promise to Prime Minister Hisataro.

After setting fire to Kyushu farmland by disguising it as spontaneous combustion, they imported large quantities of various food products such as rice, canned food, and instant rice.

Of course, they demanded a very high price from the Japanese government, but the Japanese government, unable to starve its people right away, paid the exorbitant profits with tears in their eyes.

The amount of food supplied by tens of thousands of food trucks across the country was beyond imagination, so it could not go against the wishes of Suyeong Farm.

“But why aren’t there any food trucks in Kyushu?”

“Why do you think I didn’t see it?”

“Are you thinking of buying Kyushu? You always sing the Kyushu Kyushu song when you sleep.”

Not a single food truck entered Kyushu.

In other words, it has become very difficult to eat good quality food in Kyushu compared to other regions.

There were even rumors going around that the government had abandoned Kyushu, and people were quick to sell off their land and other assets and leave the Kyushu region.

And the swimming farm was gradually purchasing the land through Hisataro Agriculture.
