Chapter 4 Is export also considered bullying? (4)

Park Ki-soo, who broke up with Seohae Foods’ Lee Won-jae, immediately called Jeon Seong-ryeol.

“Sir, the conversation went well. I’m not sure if you’ll be satisfied with it though.”

-What happened?

“They said that in exchange for a 15% stake, they would take responsibility for everything that is necessary for distribution. If we just open the warehouse door, they will take care of everything from shipping to sales and deposits.”

It fell from 30% to 15%.

However, Jeon Seong-ryeol did not like the very idea of ​​sharing the margins while only taking on the role of distribution agent.

‘You really just headbutted the ground?’

I feel angry, but I also feel like the time wasted in the process is too much.

“Boss, the mushroom picking season will be back soon.”

yes.

“Just think of it as a few months of agency work. Instead of a long-term contract, why don’t you just trade in units of quantity? Right now, you can expect a winning bid of 1.5 to 2 million won, but once the Songi season opens, it won’t be much fun. Seohae Foods knows that and is acting boldly now.”

-That’s right. I can’t blow the fun I’m having right now.

“This is something my friend managed to get after persuading his boss with difficulty because I handed him my card. I couldn’t waste my time.”

-That’s what I should do. Thank you for your hard work, rider.

“Should I tell President Ha?”

-No, I should say this myself.

Park Ki-soo felt a little sorry. It would have been more effective if he could have told Ha Su-young directly.

As he hung up the phone, Park Ki-soo smiled broadly.

‘The table is set.’

President Jeon Seong-ryeol will likely propose that exports to Japan be started immediately on the condition that Seohae Foods receive a 15% cut for the time being.

What if Seohae Foods makes another offer to Ha Su-young in that situation?

It was possible to instill a little distrust in Ha Soo-young’s heart.

‘I’ve never met anyone who hates money. That guy Ha Soo-young was doing this to make money in the first place.’

Park Ki-soo got into the car, whistling.

“Is this Seohae Food?”

I heard that Jeon Seong-ryeol is pushing for exports through Seohae Foods. Did he say that they are still in negotiations?

‘But why did you contact me? No way… … .’

Ha Soo-young continued the conversation with some doubts.

“There’s no problem in talking.”

-Then is lunch tomorrow okay?

“Yes, it will be okay.”

-Thank you. The place is… … .

Vice President Lee Won-jae decided on a specific time and place, said he would meet tomorrow, and hung up the phone.

“Why is Seohae Foods coming to me in person? Are things not going well with the former CEO?”

Ha Su-yeong looked puzzled for a moment, then immediately started preparing to go out.

Before leaving the house, I didn’t forget to stop by the Milky Way tree to say hello.

“Father, today too, I, a young and unworthy child, will go out undercover to explore the human world, hiding my identity. I will never forget the mental training to become a franchise god.”

-Give me an empty bottle.

“Okay, Father.”

Ha Su-yeong held the empty can with both hands, bowed her head, and held it out to him with utmost respect.

A branch reached out and filled the empty container with the elixir.

-You must overcome the limitations of the human body as soon as possible to conduct a good education. Don’t forget, son.

“Yes, father.”

Ha Soo-young left the house after safely storing the container containing the elixir in a safe hidden on the floor of the living room.

“But I guess I should eat a drop every now and then, right? If I don’t eat for too long, my father might notice… Oh man, I really wanted to live a comfortable life this time. My last life was so horrible.”

* * *

Ha Soo-young arrived at the downtown cafe she had promised to meet at.

The owner and the broker had already arrived and were talking amongst themselves.

“Oh, sir. Welcome.”

The broker greeted her warmly, and as she sat down, Ha Su-yeong glanced at the owner.

‘You’re quite old.’

70s? 80s?

The owner of the mountain appeared to be quite old, but she was a healthy old woman who did not neglect her health.

“Mr. Chairman, this is the person who bought the mountain.”

“nice to meet you.”

The grandmother smiled and held out her hand. Ha Soo-young scanned the clothes she was wearing for a brief moment.

‘If you add it all up, it’ll probably be several thousand?’

“You want to grow crops on our mountain?”

“Yes, that’s why I needed the mountain.”

“But if you spend that much money, is there any crop that you can grow on the mountain? I don’t know much about farming, but I don’t really have an idea what you can grow on the mountain. It probably wouldn’t be suitable for an orchard.”

“I will grow mushrooms big.”

“ah.”

Only then did the owner become convinced, and the broker quickly proceeded with the contract.

“Thank you. I bought a mountain and started farming in my later years, but I got burned so badly that I was worried about what to do. Thanks to you, everything was resolved neatly.”

“You got beat up badly?”

“……? Didn’t you hear? That…….”

“Mr. Chairman, I will explain that later.”

“What’s the matter? Do you have any secrets you’re keeping from me regarding the ownership or land use of the mountain?”

When Ha Soo-young looked at him coldly, the broker’s face turned pale, and the grandmother looked at the two in embarrassment.

It seemed as if she knew nothing.

“Sir, you didn’t explain anything to the buyer? I told you that it had to be mentioned.”

The grandmother’s gaze toward the broker was not all that kind.

Ha Soo-young asked her.

“Is there any legal defect that I haven’t mentioned?”

“That’s not it. I told the buyer that I had to tell him why I decided to become a farmer…….”

“What is that?”

“The neighbors there are quite rude.”

“Is there anyone with a violent criminal record living nearby?”

“That’s not it. Have you heard that the indigenous people are showing a lot of hostility towards the new farmers these days? I never thought I would be the one to experience that.”

“Oh, is that all?”

Only then did the coldness disappear from Ha Soo-young’s expression.

Well, I already thoroughly checked the register, land register, and other legal relationships, so it doesn’t make sense to say there’s a defect now. Was I too sensitive?’

“Just now. You shouldn’t say that. If you don’t feel like it, then now…”

“That’s completely fine.

But it’s a bit annoying that you hid the mountain owner’s earnest request until the very end. Instead, you should cut the brokerage fee.”

“That, that is…….”

“Mr. Park.”

When the old lady spoke in a stern voice, the broker hesitated and then nodded.

“Okay, I’ll give you a discount. And… I’m sorry for not telling you in advance.”

There was a brief moment of noise, but the deal went through without a hitch.

“The villa is clean and tidy, nothing to do. You can move in starting today.”

“You must have been through quite a bit.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

When Grandmother Sanju looked at him with concern, Ha Su-yeong shrugged her shoulders.

“I’ve experienced so many things like prejudice that I’m sick of it. It’s nice to be reminded of the old days. I’m also looking forward to it.”

“……?”

The old lady looked puzzled for a moment, but soon smiled and got up.

“The young CEO is bright and dependable, which is nice. I would like to have him as my grandson-in-law. If we ever meet again in the future, let’s greet each other warmly.”

“You speak as if today is your last day. You will see me again on the day of the final payment.”

“That’s right, I’ll send a representative then.”

“Is that so? Then I guess I should say goodbye for the last time too.”

“I hope your business prospers.”

Ha Su-young, who finished the contract, left the cafe.

“Now that we have a mountain suitable for growing golden umbrella mushrooms, we can even grow pine mushrooms while we’re at it… No, no. I’ll have to grow pine mushrooms at home until we build a fence, because thieves might come after them.”

If you have challenged the gourmet market with pine mushrooms, now is the time to take over the common people’s tables with golden umbrella mushrooms.
