Chapter 5: If you give me the mushrooms, I will give you the deposit (2)

-Huh? What are you talking about?

“It means that I thought you would think of me first. As expected, you are a person who values ​​honesty, trustworthiness, and fairness as the highest virtues in business dealings.”

-It’s embarrassing to be on a plane like that.

“2.4 billion seems too little. Take 3 billion. Put 7.2 billion in my account.”

-Thank you for your concern. Then I’ll take 3 billion and put 7.2 billion in your account. I’ll send you a copy of the contract too.

“Yes, thank you.”

Ha Soo-young muttered quietly after hanging up the phone.

“I’m not the president, so is Seohae Food the boy who cried wolf?”

But something feels fishy.

Seohae Foods is not stupid, and it would not have tried to sow discord without knowing what kind of relationship there is between itself and Jeon Seong-ryeol.

Isn’t it too dangerous for them?

“Is the Seohae Food Export Department more stupid than I thought? Or did they put a straw in Seongryeol Distribution? This seems the most likely.”

Ha Soo-young concluded her thoughts by saying that she would have to give Jeon Seong-ryeol a heads-up later.

“I also need to see how the former president deals with it.”

As your business grows, you will be asked to take on bigger tasks, and you will need to show that you can overcome obstacles like this in a professional manner.

“By the way, 7.2 billion was created overnight.”

No matter how I think about it, I was lucky.

If they had released 4.8 tons of mushrooms at once, they would never have received that price. Originally, the price would drop as the quantity increased in an auction.

If everything had gone as planned, he would have lost about 300 million won per month as his share. Of course, this is the average.

Thanks to the interest of a Japanese real estate tycoon who is crazy about pine mushrooms, he was able to grab a whopping 7.2 billion won in one fell swoop.

“Then the story changes.”

* * *

Makemiya was convinced that matsutake mushrooms had cured his chronic urethral pain.

It wasn’t an unfounded belief.

After signing a contract with Seongryeol Distribution and Songi Mushroom Purchase, he attempted scientific verification at Baekdu Hotel.

Even if you call it verification, it’s nothing special.

Except for water, I ate only pine mushroom dishes from Baekdu Hotel for all three meals.

After I stopped eating pine mushrooms for about three days, the urethral pain came back as if it were a lie.

As soon as I ate the pine mushrooms, my urethra pain disappeared.

After repeating it several times, Makemiya was able to become convinced of the efficacy of matsutake mushrooms.

Of course, even if the efficacy verification had failed, I would not have regretted signing the purchase contract.

Even if it were 10.2 billion won, it wouldn’t be a lot of money to him.

Besides, he originally really liked Songi.

Except for the portion he eats himself, he gives the rest as gifts to acquaintances, supplies it to his own restaurants or hotels, or resells it at a high price in Japan.

“Still, I’m glad that the efficacy has been confirmed.”

This is actually ridiculous.

Even Johns Hopkins Hospital can’t find the cause of urethral pain. Eating mushrooms will help for a few days.

“No other mushrooms will do. Only this one will definitely work.”

If pine mushrooms themselves were effective, I would have gotten better long ago.

Makemiya’s interest naturally turned to this special mushroom.

“What an interesting mushroom. It’s also unusual for it to grow even though it’s not the season.”

Although they are called special products, there are differences in quality even among special products.

These mushrooms boasted a fragrance, appearance, and texture superior to any specialty product Makemiya had ever seen.

Should we say that this is the best of the best?

If Japanese gourmets ever get a taste of these matsutake mushrooms, they will go crazy and run after them.

“If it’s effective for other ailments besides urethral pain… Ah, that can’t be true. If it were, it would’ve been talked about among the hotel guests a long time ago.”

Since they signed a contract to purchase a year’s worth at once, Makemiya will not be meeting Seongryeol Distribution for the time being.

But Makemiya suddenly wanted to see who the primary producer was who was picking these mushrooms.

I was curious about what kind of mountain these pine mushrooms grow on to have such mysterious properties.

-Son, what are you doing now?

“I’m looking at the real estate corner of the Nextnet portal site. I’m checking to see if there are any good properties in Cheongdam-dong.”

-You don’t miss a single day. It’s like taking an elixir.

“Right? Whether it’s taking elixirs or checking real estate, business or anything else, you have to be diligent, haha.”

‘Oh, my gosh! Where can you find something like this that just comes in without even turning on its blinkers?’

-Okay, let’s start today’s class.

‘Ugh, I don’t like this, it’s boring.’

But since he had already said something first, Ha Soo-young silently followed his father’s theory lessons.

If you listen carefully, won’t you be able to open the next stage of the elixir as soon as possible?

Thus, the First Space War ended with wounds and philanthropy, hatred and love, and in the process of restoring the ruined universe, the gods felt the need to create the Cosmic Gods’ Union to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, and so they suggested it to the Lord…

Ha Soo-young, who had safely finished the boring theory class, returned home with an empty bottle full of elixir.

When I opened the safe installed on the floor, I saw rows of vials full of elixir.

“For the time being, there won’t be any limit to the mushroom cultivation due to a shortage of elixir.”

If you put your mind to it, you could produce 50 tons of pine mushrooms a month.

Of course, it is impossible in this narrow yard from the beginning,

“For the time being, it would be best to just produce pine mushrooms at this rate. The pine mushroom season will return soon anyway, and if you’re going to make fields and mass-produce them, you’ll need to make sure you have anti-theft facilities in place.”

Since pine mushrooms are so expensive that they are outrageous, it was obvious that if they were carelessly grown in places like vinyl greenhouses, they would be at risk of being robbed.

“I need to grow some golden silk umbrella mushrooms quickly.”

Ha Su-yeong found a mountain that would soon become his own, after completing a contract.

The villa, built by the previous owner at the foot of the mountain, was more magnificent than I had expected.

The three-story mansion with its expansive garden seemed to be modeled after a businessman’s home in the heart of the city.

It was also equipped with an emergency generator, and even had a communications base station on top of the mansion.

“Wow, at this rate, the internet is going to explode.”

It might use a lot of electromagnetic waves, but who cares? We’re not going to eat or sleep here anyway.

Ha Soo-young carefully checked the interior of the mansion.

And he could be sure that he had gotten the mountain at a really cheap price.

“A house like this would have cost hundreds of millions just to build?”

Not only was the scale impressive, but it was also a house that was equipped with all the cutting-edge amenities that are found in modern luxury homes.

“That old lady… she really wanted to end her last years here.”

But how sad it must have been to have to sell the land at a low price because of the pressure from neighbors and the local taxes.

After carefully examining the house, Ha Su-yeong went out the front door.

But as soon as I locked the door, someone called from behind me.

“Are you by any chance the grandson of that old lady from Seoul?”

When I looked back, I saw an old man with an innocent image standing with his hands behind his back.

The top, which was originally white, was faded and worn, and the bottom of the green trousers were covered in dried dirt.

Ha Su-yeong bowed very politely.

“No. I’m the person who took over as manager temporarily.”

“Aha, Manager?”

“Yes, I was given the job of stopping by the house and the mountain once a day to check if there was anything wrong. I thought I should do something rather than just lazing around at home as a freeloader.”

“Oh, the young man is working hard.

“How much do you get paid?”

“I don’t get paid that much. I get paid 800,000 won.”

“Oh my, people in Seoul are really mean. I heard that old lady from Seoul has a lot of money. Isn’t that too much?”
