Chapter 289 Volcanic Eruption (6)
It’s not like we don’t have money to buy land in Kyushu, so we have to borrow from the Japanese government and banks.
Among Ha Soo-young’s cash, the largest portion is in dollars, followed by won, and some other national currencies, such as euros, are mixed in.
There is nearly $3.5 trillion sitting in US currency accounts, but if we bring that money in and buy land in Kyushu, Japan will benefit the most.
“I’ve worked as a turtle ship oarman several times in my past life, but I’ve never done anything useful for Japan.”
In order to minimize the profits flowing out of one’s own pocket to Japan, it is most rational to borrow yen from Japan and buy land in Kyushu.
Why would we spend expensive dollars to do good things for Japan?
Currently, Android Freedom rental fees are charged in Yen, and the money is fully used to purchase land in Kyushu.
The sales made by franchisees who came over to Japan were all in yen, and Ha Su-yeong was exclusively exchanging them for won.
It was beneficial for franchisees because they could conveniently exchange their banknotes into Korean Won without any exchange fees.
In contrast, all food transactions, including rice and beans, were conducted in dollars, and the money was not used to purchase land in Kyushu, but was kept in its entirety.
He had to give half of the profits to Prime Minister Hisataro, but he planned to give it to him later by obtaining yen.
“Anyway, it looks like Japan won’t be able to even dream of farming for a while.”
The sky was dark, as if covered with dark clouds.
But a closer look revealed that there were hardly any clouds.
The volcanic ash floating in the sky blocks out the sunlight, making it look like clouds before rain.
“At this rate, it won’t rain for a while.”
“A severe drought is expected in the future. There may be a shortage of drinking water in urban areas. Signs are already appearing.”
“If it doesn’t rain, there will be a shortage of drinking water.”
No one knows when the volcanic ash covering the sky will clear.
It could be for a few months, or it could be for a few years or more.
It may continue to block out the Japanese sky for a longer period of time.
“Japanese meteorologists predict that the volcanic ash will clear within a few months depending on the air currents. What do you think, Master?”
“How many months? Hey, I’ve seen Mt. Fuji erupt more than once or twice, and that definitely isn’t a few months old.”
“Are you saying that it is not affected by the wind?”
“Of course it won’t be affected. But Mt. Fuji is a bit of a troublemaker. When the volcanic ash runs out, it causes incomplete combustion again.”
“Are you saying that only fine volcanic ash keeps being sprinkled into the sky?”
“Yes. This land has been cursed from the beginning. Civilization cannot last long without some basic construction. From what I remember, I don’t think it has ever reached the 23rd century naturally.”
“You’re saying it will collapse within the 22nd century?”
“Whenever continental shift occurs, the first thing to sink is Japan. That never changes. Maybe it’s because the plate tectonics themselves are like that.”
Ha Soo-young looked around the endless line for food.
In front of food trucks and seafood distribution centers located everywhere, people were lined up in orderly lines to receive meals or ingredients.
“Well, we just need to do business well.”

The swimming group was able to win a major part of the Japanese reconstruction project, thanks to food exports and its connections with Prime Minister Hisataro.
However, it is difficult for a single company to monopolize a market with a population of 130 million.
The remaining portion after the swimming group was eaten was split amicably by construction companies of other countries.
The area that needed to be repaired was enormous, and there wasn’t much that could meet Japan’s expectations.
There was not a single area that was not urgent, including electricity, water, gas, and communications.
Ha Su-young met again with Chief Cabinet Secretary Shunichi Kuriu.
“I would like to have the telecommunications business license for the Kyushu region.”
“Kyushu is still far behind in the recovery rankings.”
The deputy minister was curious as to why someone he knew well would say something like that.
“I know, but I can’t turn off the farm, right? The Kyushu communication network is completely down right now, so our dispatched staff are having a hard time contacting each other.”
“Then shall we restore the Kyushu communications network first?”
“No. I will restore it, so please give me the telecommunications business license. To be exact, give it to Hisataro Group.”
Ha Su-yeong is a foreigner, so he cannot be given the right to operate a telecommunications business.
But when it comes to the Hisataro Group, the story is different.
Of course, Hisataro is the face of the company, and Ha Su-young is the real owner and manager.
“Suyeong Communications boasts a groundbreaking wireless communications network. If we just erect one transmission/reception tower, communications will be possible throughout Kyushu. Please allow us to do so.”
The deputy minister knew he could not refuse this offer.
“Okay, I understand. I will take responsibility and explain it well to the cabinet so that it can be passed.”
“Please.”
Thus, in Japan, the Kyushu telecommunications business license was issued with an unprecedented speed.
It may have been unfair to the existing business owners, but they accepted it willingly.
In any case, the facilities were so badly damaged that the cost of restoration would be astronomical, and the Kyushu region is practically an empty ghost island.
Here, with the sewage swamp occupying more than 60% of the land, there is no hope for the population to recover. It is very hopeless.
Existing telecommunications operators, instead, did not miss this opportunity and adopted a strategy of receiving maximum compensation from the government.
Ha Soo-young also offered them carrots.
“Sell me all the real estate you own in Kyushu. I will give you 60% of the market price before the volcano eruption.”
“I bow my head and express my sincere gratitude for your thoughtful consideration.”
From the perspective of the telecommunications business operators, it was fortunate that they could sell the large, useless real estate at 60% of the previous market price.
That is why they did not interfere at all with Ha Su-yeong’s acquisition of the telecommunication business license.
Because the telecommunications business license was attached as a condition for payment of the balance.
“Would you like to sell the Freedom Phone?”
“It’s so expensive that we can’t afford it without a subsidy. There’s no reason to subsidize it. Let’s just tell people to use their own cellphones and give them a separate communication chip.”
“All right.”
The communication chip is a medium that uses wireless electricity to send and receive communication data. It is made like a general SIM card, so when installed in a terminal, it connects to wireless communication.
In extreme cases, real-time calls could even be made on the other side of Mars.
“Since the sun hasn’t risen yet, I won’t be able to farm for a while, so I guess I’ve become the only farmer in Japan.”
“Congratulations. You’ve accomplished another small item on your bucket list.”
“Becoming the only farmer in Japan wasn’t on my bucket list to begin with, but I’ll just say it was there and record it as an accomplishment now.”

As soon as Ha Su-yeong bought land in Kyushu, he started using it for farming or for building facilities necessary for farming.
As for farm-related facilities, there wasn’t much to it.
All there is is a living space for the young farmers to live in, a place to store their farm equipment, and a repair facility.
“Master, we need a recreational facility where farmers can relax. In Kyushu, which has lost its urban function, there is no longer any space for such a thing.”
“Well… I don’t think it’s worth creating a separate commercial district like Jeju Industrial Complex because the population is so large. Let’s just provide helicopters so that people can travel back and forth between Jeju Island and Busan.”
Ha Su-young ordered additional civilian helicopters from the United States that could be used immediately. Lockheed Martin was happy to see sales increase again.
“I work far away so I need to provide good housing.”
Farmers used to stay at the hotel, motel, or other lodging facility closest to their farm.
But since it was becoming a ghost town, it would have been better to build new housing for the farmers.
Ha Su-yeong decided to build houses for each farmer and provide them for free rental.
“There aren’t many people anyway, and there’s plenty of land. Build it big. A three-story mansion with a garden.”
Thus, farmers were given neat country houses, each with a building site of 400 square meters and a garden of that size, something they could only dream of in Korean cities.
In this way, if there were any farmers who did not have children, they would bring their spouses to Kyushu.
This was because I could take a helicopter to Jeju Island or Busan any time I wanted anyway.
The repair facility was not in immediate need.
Elixir fertilizer can make crops grow healthily even without extreme water requirements. It is not called the drink of the gods for nothing.
“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to buy some hemp while you’re at it?”
Daemado Island did not suffer direct damage from the volcano.
However, the amount of sunlight has decreased due to the effects of volcanic ash, and the fishing industry has already collapsed worldwide several years ago.
Originally, it was a tourist destination that even Japanese people rarely visited, but recently, the number of Korean visitors has also hit rock bottom, and the city is struggling on the verge of bankruptcy.
Since the mainland also had no time to provide support, the residents of Tsushima Island were in the most difficult situation in Japan.
“I don’t know if they’ll try to dig the ground there. First, send out a broker named Woohyungshin and have them approach them. Don’t push yourself too hard, and just secure as much as you can.”
“All right.”
However, after visiting Daemado, Woo Hyung-shin brought some not-so-good news.
“The residents are demanding ridiculously high prices. They seem to want a lot of money for retirement expenses because they have no means of making a living even if they go to the mainland.”
“There’s no need to add a premium. We’ll keep looking into it while maintaining our terms. We have much more time.”
“I see. By the way, the residents of Tsushima Island seem to be secretly hoping that their island will come alive when the sea bridge connects it to Busan.”
“You should know that this won’t happen until you buy up all the land on Daema Island. You don’t even plan on connecting to Kyushu right now, it’s funny.”
It’s okay to leave Daemado alone for the time being. Just wait patiently. They’ll be the ones to run out of patience first.
In this way, Ha Su-yeong gradually carried out the farming simulation of incorporating Kyushu Farm into Multi.

“What? More medical school students? Again?”
“Yes. You absolutely must do it.”
“No, how many times have we sent reinforcements, and now you want us to send reinforcements again?”
“Otherwise, the medical market will explode. We need to increase the number of people drastically.”
There is a recurring question about what needs to be done to improve public health services.
Adjustment of the number of patients, establishment of public medical schools, increase in the number of students, increase in health insurance premiums, special support for life-related aversion departments, etc…
These baits have been repeated periodically, causing conflict and strife.
But at some point, the existing baits lost their meaning.
No, there is one piece of bait that survived.
Immediate increase in medical school enrollment.
because…….
“Because Suyeong Hospital is taking away all the doctors, other large hospitals are running out of people and can’t run their hospitals properly. The primary care market is now in shambles. There are almost no surgeons left. Suyeong Hospital is taking them all.”
The swimming hospital was swarming up doctors who deal with life, such as thoracic surgeons, like an Arab prince shopping at a department store, and as a result, other hospitals were stripped of their general hospital status because they had no doctors to perform surgeries.
“No, the swimming hospital is really… the doctor-to-patient ratio is more than five times that of other hospitals, so why on earth do they sweep them up like that?”
“It won’t be five times……”
