Chapter 4 Is export also considered bullying? (5)

-Why are you turning your back on me?

Blood flows thickly from the stomach where the knife was stuck.

It was an injury that would not have caused him to lose his breath at any moment, but the man pretended not to feel any pain and even asked about it as if it was nothing serious.

At that bold appearance, the knights surrounding him turned pale and even retreated hesitantly.

– Yes, Captain! What you have done is treason! Surrender obediently!

-His Majesty has also promised! He said that if you surrender, he will show you the utmost mercy! So, Commander, please surrender!

-Your Majesty? Are you talking about someone who is not worthy of wearing the crown?

The captain raised his sword high and chuckled.

The red aura on the tip of the sword spread out in all directions in an instant, and an invisible force suffocated the knights.

-Carve it directly on his body. This is the price of betrayal.

Ha Soo-young opened her eyes, yawned, and scratched her head.

“Hmm… I wonder if something good will happen today? It’s been a while since I’ve had a dream like this.”

After finishing breakfast, Ha Su-yeong received a call from Jeon Seong-ryeol.

The content was that they had decided to entrust Seohae Foods with export agency duties for a while.

-Before the Songi season returns, I have to see everything there is to see. Until then, I think it would be better to proceed with those conditions.

“There’s nothing we can do. Time is important.”

-Thank you for understanding.

“It’s much better than being so upset that you end up crashing into the ground and not getting your principal back.”

– If you sell it for between 1.5 million and 2 million won, I’ll give Seohae Foods a 15% cut, and you’ll be able to take home up to 425 million won.

“Isn’t it too much to expect 2 million won per kilo?”

-Seohae Foods says that Japanese companies are already lining up after hearing the rumor. Japanese gourmets can’t control their minds when it comes to special delivery.

“By the way, there’s no place where the name Seohae doesn’t appear. Seohae Hotel, Seohae Food.”

-It’s the number one business group in our country.

There’s nothing I can do.

“These guys who are called top conglomerates are even handling mushroom exports? It’s kind of funny.”

– I’m tempted to sell tteokbokki in an alley, so what’s the big deal about selling pine mushrooms? And even though they share the same name as Seohae, they’re almost completely different from Seohae Hotel.

“What does Seohae Foods mainly do? Just by looking at the name, it seems like they make and sell ramen.”

-Oh, how did you know? They sell ramen too. They’re the ones with the largest market share in ramen.

“Really? But why didn’t I know about this until now? I really like ramen too.”

-Do you know Yun Ramen?

“Of course. It’s my favorite ramen. Huh? But isn’t that ramen company Seohae Foods?”

-Taeyangsim, the maker of Yun Ramen, is a subsidiary of Seohae Foods.

“Wait a minute. What Taeyangsim is selling is….”

-We sell all kinds of food. You could say that Seohae Foods handles everything related to food. Everything from production, processing, sales, and distribution.

“I guess that’s why they demanded a 30% commission from the beginning, since it’s such a big company. Anyway, that’s the bullying of big companies. Anyway, thank you for your hard work. It’s great that they lowered it to 15%.”

-I don’t plan on making it long anyway.

“I’m sure the former boss will take care of it. Please take care of it. I need to focus on growing golden umbrella mushrooms for the time being.”

-Can we really lower the cost of cultivation?

“sure.”

-Okay. Then I’ll think about how to distribute the Golden Silk Umbrella Mushrooms in advance.

After finishing the phone call, Ha Soo-young took out the elixir.

He put a drop on the tip of his chopsticks, closed his eyes tightly, and put it in his mouth.

Soon, a heat spread as if a fireball was passing down my esophagus, and a hot pain spread throughout my body.

“Eww!”

And with a single scream, he lost consciousness.

How long must I have been unconscious?

When I looked at the time, three hours had already passed.

Ha Soo-young got up unsteadily, stroking her throbbing hair.

“Aww, even when I was burned for a week by the dragon’s flame breath, it didn’t hurt as much as this. It felt like every cell in my body was broken down into nanoscale pieces and then reassembled.”

He came out into the backyard and found the Milky Way tree.

As if it had been waiting for him, the Milky Way tree shook its branches vigorously and greeted him warmly.

-Oh, son. The screams were really loud today.

“I thought I was getting used to it, but I got hit in the back of the head for the first time in a while. It really hurt today.”

-That’s all the process of canceling the human limit and obtaining a god body. Now, let’s start today’s lesson. And so, the first space war began to spread the glory of the ancient god, no, the franchise god, throughout the galaxy… … .

Ha Su-young fell asleep again today.

The next day.

Ha Su-yeong headed to the meeting place to meet Lee Won-jae, vice president of Seohae Foods.

I deliberately didn’t tell Jeon Seong-ryeol about today’s schedule.

It was because he wanted to see what Lee Won-jae would say to himself and not to Jeon Seong-ryeol.

“Nice to meet you. I am Wonjae Lee, Vice President of Seohae Foods.”

“This is Ha Su-young.”

Lee Won-jae greeted Ha Su-yeong politely and handed her his business card.

He was polite, as if he were an employee of Company B who came out to greet a buyer.

“You’re younger than I thought.”

“First of all, I turned twenty this year.”

Ha Soo-young answered nonchalantly, and Lee Won-jae didn’t pay much attention to the addition of ‘for now.’

“I heard that you also supply to Baekdu Hotel.”

“I only do the harvesting. The delivery is done by Seongryeol Distribution. So I don’t know much.

After all, I am a primary producer.”

“It’s not even the season for pine mushrooms, but you procure hundreds of kilograms of premium pine mushrooms every month. I was really surprised when I first heard that. It seems like pine mushrooms are impossible to farm.”

“I have a mountain where pine mushrooms grow even in spring and summer. I don’t know the principle well. I just pick them.”

Lee Won-jae’s eyes lit up for a moment, and Ha Su-yeong didn’t miss that subtle change.

‘Oh my, anyway, those who are in sales have their heads full of doubts.’

Ha Soo-young slowly brought up the main topic.

“You have something to say about the export of mushrooms to Japan.”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

Lee Won-jae straightened his posture and began to speak seriously.

“I don’t know how special our relationship with Seongryeol Distribution is, but I don’t know if there is a need to increase the number of intermediate distribution stages when exporting overseas. I don’t think it will be of much help to the primary producer, President Ha Su-yeong.”

“Is that so?”

“How about dealing directly with us, just for exports to Japan? I don’t know what price Seongryeol Distribution will charge, but direct dealing will definitely be beneficial to you, sir.”

“I guess that’s what happens if one of the intermediate steps is missing.”

“If you deal with us directly, we will give you an additional 2% of the originally promised 12%. We only take 10%.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

Ha Soo-young paused for a moment, and Lee Won-jae smiled with a sense of conversion.

‘Get caught, get caught.’

‘12%? The previous boss said 15%?’

‘Ask, ask.’

“So, are you saying that Seohae Foods was supposed to take 12% of the original auction price, but if I make a direct deal, they will only take 10%?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Ha Soo-young’s expression hardened slightly, and Lee Won-jae secretly cheered inwardly.

The seed of distrust toward Jeon Seong-ryeol.

I thought I had succeeded in planting it in Ha Soo-young’s heart.

But that’s half right and half wrong.

‘Who is it? Who is talking to me right now?’

Ha Su-young didn’t just pass it over.

Both sides are saying different things.

This means that one side is lying, and the truth cannot be determined yet.

‘The former president? Or Seohae Foods? Is this guy Ro? Or is it just a prank by the Seohae Foods upper management and this guy is just a messenger?’

As of now, we don’t know anything.

All that is certain is that someone is lying.

Ha Soo-young checked once more.

“Are you sure you’re going to give me an extra 2% and Seohae Foods will only get 10% of the winning bid? Did you get approval from your superiors?”

“Of course. You just have to make up your mind, sir.”

“Okay, let me think about it.

I think it’s because we’ve been doing business with Seongryeol Distribution for several months, so we have a special bond with them.”

A few months, special affection.

At the combination of those conflicting words, Lee Won-jae thought that things would work out as he wanted and laughed inwardly.

Jeon Seong-ryeol, who had no idea that Ha Su-yeong and Vice President Lee Won-jae were meeting, was receiving a phone call out of nowhere at that time.

“Yes? You want to buy all the pine mushrooms we’re going to sell in Japan?”

-Yes, we at Makemiya Investment will buy them all.

Jeon Seong-ryeol was shocked.

Why is an investment company buying pine mushrooms?
