Franchise God Episode 018

Chapter 4 Is export also considered bullying? (3)

The monthly supply is 500 kg, but since it also needs to be delivered to Baekdu Hotel, the amount that can be exported to Japan is around 400 kg.

Maintaining the domestic distribution network was also very important to Jeon Seong-ryeol, so he had no intention of reducing the quantity any further.

Meanwhile, the employees were secretly a little surprised.

‘What will our CEO think of me?’

‘If anyone heard that, they’d think our boss was being rude in front of that guy.’

‘No, is that right? Songi is supplied exclusively by that friend.’

‘That’s right. That guy is really right.’

While everyone was cautiously observing, Park Ki-soo opened his mouth again.

“Shall I meet Seohae Foods?”

“You, rider?”

Jeon Seong-ryeol asked back as if it was not appropriate.

It was clear what would change if you met.

“Actually, I didn’t tell you… I have a friend who works in the Seohae Food Export Management Department.”

“Really? Why are you telling me that now?”

“That guy also changed jobs not too long ago, and we didn’t really have anything to do with Seohae Foods during that time.”

“But will meeting that friend solve the problem?”

“Honestly, sir, you would never do this under these conditions. You would have been better off looking for another company or heading straight for the ground.”

“yes.”

“We’ll show you our close friend Bae Soo-jin. We don’t need to show it too blatantly to hurt the feelings of big business, so let’s go through it smoothly through our friends.”

“Okay, then you, rider, go meet him.”

Park Ki-soo went straight to the headquarters of Seohae Foods.

The export manager who had contacted me in advance came out and greeted me warmly.

As soon as I sat down to get my coffee, my friend asked me meaningfully.

“What happened?”

“Our boss seems to be halfway there. Now, all we have to do is treat Songi well.”

“You’re twenty? It’d be funny if you offered some good terms and sold our company name.”

“You have to do well.”

“But Ha Su-yeong? Where on earth does that guy get his mushrooms from?”

“I think there must be a mountain where pine mushrooms grow well regardless of the season. How can’t your company investigate this?”

“If we want to find out something like that, we’ll have to come from the headquarters. Our company is a branch of the group, so we don’t have the ability to do that.”

Friend, Lee Won-jae’s eyes sparkled as he fiddled with his interlocked fingers.

“If I make 500kg of mushrooms a month, I’ll probably get at least 700 million won if I auction it off to Japan. After deducting that friend’s share and other things, I’ll probably have about 200 million won left over a month.”

“It started out as 50kg, but our boss thought it was trustworthy, so he raised it to 500kg. In my opinion, 500kg is not everything. It can be raised more.”

“Ki-su, can I really trust you and push forward with this?”

“Hey, if you think about it, what do you have to lose? In fact, the risk is much greater for me.”

“I know, Inma. Don’t worry. If this goes well, I’ll give up my position and let you join our company.”

“You have to do well, really.”

Park Ki-soo smiled faintly.

He had been watching Ha Soo-young with a suspicious eye the whole time, wondering where on earth she was getting Songi from.

Then at some point I realized.

That we should not be suspicious, but reach out.

Depending on how you use it, it can be a good opportunity for a reversal for you.

‘Yes, I can’t just keep rotting away as an employee of a small business like this forever. I’ll go to Seohae Foods as a career employee, work there for about 10 years, build up connections, and then later become independent… ‘

A rosy future looms before our eyes.

Park Ki-soo thought about his newborn son. He thought of his wife sighing as she looked at the household account book.

“Kisuya, the manager’s approval has been passed. I’ll go and negotiate with that guy Ha Su-young today.”

“Don’t be too obvious. I don’t know what he’d do if he found out that other people were working on it. You just have to make him greedy and make him make his own choices.”

“Don’t worry. I’m also a manager at a large company.”

***

Ha Soo-young was staring at her mobile account balance.

[219,873,992 won]

An amount slightly less than 220 million won.

All the money was earned from selling pine mushrooms.

“I guess I should start reporting my business now. In order to avoid the tax bomb, I need to quickly use this money for facility investment. Should I skip the individual business and jump straight to corporation?”

He made over 200 million won in just a few months.

But it is still a long way to achieve the dream of becoming a building owner in Cheongdam-dong.

“I need to use this as seed money to start another business.”

Ha Su-yeong had no intention of selling only Songi forever.

“You have to sell the pine mushrooms, the golden silk umbrellas, and other things. If you only dig one well, when will you be able to make Cheongdam-dong yours?”

The well called Songi Mushroom has now settled down to some extent.

So it was time to start preparing the second well, and Ha Su-yeong chose the Golden Silk Umbrella Mushroom as the item.

“If you have to climb a mountain anyway, it might be better to make it a really big mountain.”

Ha Su-yeong, who had made up her mind, immediately made a phone call.

It was a real estate agent.

-Oh my, boss.

“Yes, I am. Did you find out what I asked you to do before?”

-There are some good properties on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do. It’s a really rural area, but the people who moved to the countryside are packing up and moving back to Seoul because they can’t stand the country life, so the properties are really cheap.

“is it so?”

-Yes, it is a 100,000 square meter mountain and is listed at 910 million won.

‘Huh? 900 million?’

– It’s a little less than 30,000 won per pyeong, but if it’s a mountain with these conditions, it’s a very good mountain. It’s also adjacent to a major road. These mountains usually cost 40,000 won per pyeong, and if it’s expensive, it can go up to 50,000 won.

“910 million……”

-There is also a new three-story detached house at the entrance to the mountain. It was built less than two years ago. The garden is very large and it looks like the villa of a conglomerate chairman.

Electricity, water, and communication have also been made without any problems.

“The property is good. But I don’t have that kind of money…….”

-How much can you mobilize?

“The maximum amount that can be mobilized right now is about 220 million won.”

The broker was silent for a moment.

‘Well, I think this was too much.’

Of course, Ha Su-yeong was a young man who did not know the ways of the world, so he had no intention of quietly enduring embarrassment.

“This is literally right now, and I think I can pay off the remaining balance without any problems in about 3 or 4 months.”

-Oh, really?

Only then did the broker’s voice brighten.

-Wow, our boss must be running a business that relies heavily on cash flow. You should have told us earlier.

“I do some farming. I sell the crops that yield good results, so I make some cash every month.”

-Aha, so that’s why you want to buy the mountain.

“By the way, is it possible to negotiate the price?”

-Ah… … That seems a bit too much. It’s a mountain that’s currently on sale at a very good price.

“What in the world can’t be bargained for? Large mountains like this don’t trade well. I can find another mountain, but it’ll be difficult for the mountain owner. And there are no plans for development there, right?”

-Just a moment. I’ll try talking to the owner.

The call was disconnected and about 20 minutes later the broker called back.

-I think it might be possible up to 880 million.

“Well, I’ve been thinking about it for a while. How about doing it this way?”

-yes?

There was a note of anxiety in the broker’s voice.

In the meantime, I was worried that maybe his mind had changed.

“The selling price should remain at 910 million, but I want to be able to use the mountain right away as soon as the contract is signed.”

-That’s a bit…

“The crops I want to grow on that mountain will be out of season in three or four months. I have to start right now. In return, I will give you a deposit of 200 million won, I will not lower the sales price, and I will pay the balance within four months without any problems.”

-Let’s talk about it again.

This time, I got a call back within 5 minutes. The voice was also very bright.

-The owner of the mountain says to do that. He asks when the contract will be written.

“I’m fine right now.”

-Oh, then I will go there right away. The owner is in Seoul right now, so he will be able to come right away.

“This is a bit outside of Seoul.”

-Okay. I’ll leave right away.

I put the phone down feeling relieved, but then my smartphone rang.

The caller was an unknown number.

“Yes, this is Ha Su-young.”

-Nice to meet you, President Ha Su-young.

My name is Wonjae Lee, Vice President of Seohae Foods. I am contacting you because you are preparing to export pine mushrooms to Japan. Do you have a good time?
