How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

“Hee hee hee.”

Truly peaceful days.

All business is smooth itself.

Seron Rental is literally short of skeletons, so construction companies are competing to secure as many skeletons as possible.

Needless to say, the development of Seron is soaring, and the sales of the growing stomach are soaring.

The only problem was that the growth of Seron shoes, which had been growing well due to China’s suspension of exports, was slowing down, but that was also resolved, so there was nothing to be a problem.

“It’s a real conglomerate now.”

It is not a conglomerate that is ambiguous, but a real conglomerate with an estimated annual sales of over 25 trillion won.

Even this is only sales calculated based on this month, and since Seron is growing every month, not yearly, it was clear that the actual annual sales would be much higher.

Thanks to this, a stock company is trying to convince me that if I go public, I can earn more than tens of trillions of won unconditionally, but would I go public because I’m crazy?

“Are these enough to put you in the top 20 in the business world?”

It’s not listed, so it’s not in the business world rankings that people post for fun, but the 20th place on the business ranking list is exactly about 20 trillion won in annual sales, so it’s probably about that much.

Of course, these rankings are meaningless.

Seron is still growing like crazy.

“By the way, the Chinese guys are quiet.”

Since the sabotage operation in Central Africa had failed, I thought that something else would be done, but so far it has been quiet.

In my heart, I was expecting an SS-class awakened assassin, but it was a bit disappointing.

“If it’s SS-level, it’d be really usable.”

That would probably be of great help in the fight against the Undead Legion’s 5 decisive battle weapons.

“But is there going to be an undead army?”

After that incident, except for the guerrillas, the Undead Legion never appeared.

I collected every single undead-related information as well as related news, and even that wasn’t enough, so I asked Lee Jin-young, director of the Gate Management Agency, to ask for information on undead monsters that have appeared all over the world so far, because I’m interested in undead monsters. The same goes for the fact that there is no undead army.

At this point, it is doubtful whether the real undead army is coming out.

“Couldn’t it be that only one of the guerrillas was unlucky enough to assimilate with Gate, and the rest didn’t?”

If that’s the case, I’m really ready to retire.

The money I already earned from the Seron Group exceeded my retirement funds that I had taken from the Seron Group but disappeared.

“Retirement, how happy will it be?”

I, who was soaked in sweet dreams with the corners of my mouth twitching, sighed and said:

“ha. Still, you have to be prepared.”

Then all of a sudden the rest of the undead legion might burst out of one gate.

“Let’s work hard to earn money. Still, it’s kind of fun.”

The fun of a business that is different from raising an undead legion.

“Let’s work, work. If cotton comes in this time, we will make fabric and supply it to Seron Shoes…”

The moment I made up my mind and started working.

“President! President!”

Kim Deok-bae, who normally knocks politely and comes in, jumps in with a smile on his face, his face flushed red, as if he was so excited.

“It’s a big fish! Come on! It took a big fish!”

Is this an SR electronic partner proposal?

But what is it because of how big the fish is?

“What kind of company is that?”

Dealing with so many subcontractors, it seems that Kim Deok-bae, who doesn’t even snort with a mid-sized company worth hundreds of billions, is big enough to get excited like that?

“This is America’s Seaway!”

“Seaway?”

“The world’s largest hard disk manufacturer!”

If you say that, I don’t feel good.

“How much is your sales?”

“It is over 15 trillion.”

I jumped up from my seat and said.

“Hurry up and take care of yourself.”

*

Seaway, the biggest fish since SR Electronics accepted a partner.

Although the Seron Group boasts sales of 25 trillion won, that’s the amount when all subsidiaries’ sales are combined, and C-way only makes one hard disk, so if you look at it as a single company, C-way is bigger than any other subsidiaries in the Seron Group. was a company

And the meeting between Seaway and Saeron…

“Thank you, Mr. Han.”

“thank you. thank you.”

It was very successful.

After several negotiations, Seaway agreed to build a new plant in Korea to replace the one in China in cooperation with Seron.

After the final contract was concluded and the person from Seaway left, I said with a bright smile.

“It’s a big company after all! The amount units are completely different!”

Currently, the Chinese factory that Seaway is trying to replace is a key factory for the final assembly of hard disks, and the sales generated here alone were enormous, reaching trillions of won.

“As expected, I did a good job of drilling through the raw materials.”

The reason why Seaway chose Korea is that it has an extremely cost-effective ratio with no additional allowance even if you roll a skeleton for 24 hours, but the impact of raw materials was also great.

Seeron contacted Seaway with the judgment that it could increase its price competitiveness because metal prices are cheaper than other countries and supply is stable thanks to the development of Serone.

At that time, Commissioner Jinyoung Lee, who was sitting next to him, said.

“It’s a really big achievement. How can you attract such a large company to Korea?”

“It’s been a while? A foreign conglomerate directly invested in Korea and entered Korea.”

“I don’t know, but maybe for decades.”

“It’s all thanks to the Commissioner’s good help by the side, well.”

Commissioner Lee Jin-young was at the negotiating table between Seron and Seaway, of course, because of my request.

Seaway wanted to get a lot of concessions, such as tax benefits, as the investment was large, and this wasn’t something I could do myself.

So, I immediately asked for help from Commissioner Jin-Young Lee, and Jin-Young Lee contacted the relevant ministries and successfully coordinated the negotiations with Seaway.

At that time, Commissioner Lee Jin-young, who was silent for a while, spoke.

“…Anyway, are you going to only contact me like this every time? This isn’t even the administration’s job, and I’m a pretty busy person.”

“I was told to contact me when I start a new job.”

He said it was difficult because Seron had been indiscriminately attacking.

That’s why I’ll contact you in advance, whenever you like.

“It was about the time when it was related to Chairman Han’s ability, not about this kind of business.”

“This is also a kind of ability, my skeleton will work at Seaway Factory from now on.”

“If you think about it that way, it sounds like the management agency should be in charge of all duties related to Seron.”

“no way. let’s go good It’s because Commissioner Lee Jin-young is comfortable.”

“I have done a lot for Korea so far, so I did everything I could, but… I also had a lot of trouble this time. Do you know how difficult it was to be caught between various ministries?”

There are many things that need to be coordinated, such as how much benefit Seaway should give, fairness issues with existing companies, and the environment.

Originally, I should have been in the middle and had to coordinate it, but it was like leaving it to Lee Jin-young.

Of course, this was entirely what I intended.

Anyway, there is someone who will do the troublesome work for me, so there is no need for me to step out, right?

“Instead, I will cooperate well with the government in the future.”

“…now you don’t say that you won’t contact me about this.”

don’t do it

I plan on using it indefinitely if I need it in the future.

“Whoa. All right.”

okay.

It’s easy to give up.

“Instead of that, I’d like a little bit more. I have my own job too.”

“okay. okay.”

I said while looking at the contract signed with Seaway with a satisfied face.

“Anyway, isn’t China a very thankful existence? If you can forget like this, give me a present.”

If the skeleton’s labor cost and cheap raw materials were the reasons for choosing Korea, the reason Seaway decided to leave China was the US-China conflict.

As the conflict between the United States and China escalated, Seaway felt burdened by China’s anti-American sentiment, and while worrying about the rising labor costs, a Chinese top-compatible alternative called Seron appeared, so it was changed immediately.

“By the way, if Seaway felt the burden of the US-China conflict, other American companies would too…”

Maybe this is an opportunity?

A golden opportunity to attract American and Western companies seeking out of China to Korea.

“If we take this opportunity to attract all of the American and Western conglomerates’ factories in China to Korea… it would be amazing.”

Lee Jin-young said with a smile as if he was looking forward to it.

“Just hearing that makes me excited.”

“But doesn’t the government have to push harder for that to happen? You have to give a lot of tax benefits and throw rice cakes like that so that fish gather. China supports everything from subsidies to everything.”

When an opportunity like this comes, you have to act proactively.

Then, Lee Jin-young expressed disapproval and said.

“Just because the government doesn’t mean it can do everything it wants.”

“This is true, people are doing it too much to realize the national interest.”

But well, the government’s help is only plus alpha, and the main thing is seron.

While the United States and China are bickering, I take advantage of the gap to steal them all.

“ah. And just in case, some politicians are saying that skeletons should be treated as workers and taxed.”

This is the sound of suddenly forgetting to wash away some kind of ghost.

“Your income? Skeletons don’t even get paid, so what’s the income?”

“Each of the skeletons will work and see the money they earned as income.”

“This crazy. what kind of income is that? It’s just money earned from Seron. No, taxes in a situation where resources are self-sufficient thanks to tax? Taxes?!”

“Of course, it is only a part of the opinion, so nothing will happen right away. So calm down.”

“Isn’t it possible that the Chinese bastards bought it? Otherwise, how can you say that you are undermining the competitiveness of your country’s companies?”

“That won’t be it. Because this isn’t the first time this story has come out. In fact, isn’t it true that Seron is doing business outside of the existing regulatory network?”

“That’s… that’s right.”

Since the workers are skeletons, neither the labor law nor the tax law were applied, unlike other companies that were caught up in regulations, Seron was literally a regulatory-free area.

“It is a story that came out of that dimension. Rather than necessarily having to collect income tax, it means that we need to fix the current system, which is excessively advantageous in taxation compared to other companies that use human workers. However, in the meantime, Saeron has been quiet thanks to his favorable image as the sixth SS-class Awakener and having done a lot of projects that are very helpful to Korea…”

Lee Jinyoung looked at me and said.

“Isn’t Seron not a normal size now?”

He was silent because he had a good image and was helpful to the national interest, but when he grew too big, he said that he had to do something.

Hearing this, I understand roughly what he was thinking when he said that, but it doesn’t feel good.

Talking about regulations, even though they can’t help at this golden opportunity to attract American and Western conglomerates to Korea.

“…If it were the Central African Republic, the president would have taken care of it before even saying this.”

“yes?”

“no. Just talking to myself.”

“Anyway, don’t worry too much. It is unlikely that this will be ratified by the National Assembly. Isn’t the image of Seron so good? If you touch it for nothing, you may face a backlash, so you won’t touch it easily.”

I nodded and said.

“Once I know. Thank you for helping me, so I’ll buy you a meal soon.”

“I am grateful. then.”

When Lee Jin-young left the meeting room, I said with a firm expression.

“It’s politics. I don’t think it’s something to just sit back and watch.”

*

“Certainly, I need to try my hand at politics now.”

As Lee Jin-young said, once you reach the size of the Seron Group, you have to be involved in the political world.

In addition, it is said that there is little chance of passing income tax or something, but due to the nature of popular politicians, it is not uncommon for ridiculous bills to be passed suddenly.

“At the very least, it shouldn’t be something that won’t allow anyone to touch me, even if they aren’t on my side.”

I don’t even want it to completely freeze me like the Central African Republic.

If that’s enough, it’s clear that there will be an uproar over the collusion between chaebol and politicians.

However, the need to manage at least to prevent anyone from touching me was sufficient.

“Would you like to be friendly with the politicians even now?”

But now my pride won’t allow me to suddenly fart.

I thought about it for a while, then opened my eyes and said.

“Would you rather pick one and grow it?”

So far, the influence I have built around Gunsan is enormous.

It’s not enough to fill Gunsan City’s industrial complex with partners, it’s because Seron is literally grabbing the economy of the area by the collar, advancing to other areas on the border of Gunsan City.

In addition to this, it has also attracted large companies such as Seaway, and its influence will be maximized if it attracts other large American and Western companies one after another.

Isn’t it too much of a waste to just neglect the power you have?

While attracting large companies, it would be neat to use it to raise a politician.

“Yeah, that’s what you’ve been trying to do until now to use it at times like this.”

It is to use the accumulated influence to raise politicians to fight in politics on my behalf.

I said looking at the calendar.

“It’s just a matter of time before the local elections.”

Local elections to elect the heads of local governments and city council members.

Although it does not have legislative authority like the National Assembly, the head of a local government is a position that can exert considerable influence on business people in the region, just as I negotiated with Mayor Ho-Chang Yun and obtained many concessions.

I put the person I decided to push here.

“Then, what if you gradually expand your influence in the political world centering on that person?”

Whether it is a new party or a faction within an existing party, creating a new political force with my influence will be of great help to me and the Seron Group.

Whether it’s business or conflict issues with China.

“good. Grab one and give it a firm push. But who will you do it for?”

Those who have already firmly established themselves in the political world are not allowed.

People who have a lot of things feel less regret.

So anyone who is eager for my help.

At the same time, I’m looking for someone who can’t be without my help.

One person popped into my mind then.

I said with a bright smile.

“As expected, those who know are the best.”

*

“Welcome, Chairman Han. hahahaha!”

Gunsan Mayor Yun Ho-chang greeted me and said,

“It’s hard to see your face these days.”

“I am very busy.”

“hahahaha. Is that so. In fact, I am also busy preparing for the primary these days.”

An election in which candidates within a party compete with each other to determine the final candidate.

“Are you challenging the Gunsan market again?”

“yes.”

Yun Ho-chang said with a smile on his face.

“It’s still too early to make a hasty decision, but thanks to the chairman, Gunsan citizens’ evaluation of me is quite good. I think we will win easily.”

Yun Ho-chang.

He was the first politician I ever met, and at the same time, a one-time city councilman and current mayor was all he could claim as a political career.

Just the right person for me to push.

After investigating, I’ve never done anything particularly problematic, and speeding is all I can think of as a crime.

I nodded and said.

“Everyone will recognize that Mayor Yoon has worked hard for Gunsan City.”

“Where is that? I can’t do it alone. hahahaha.”

“But wouldn’t it be a waste to limit that effort to Gunsan?”

“···yes?”

He pushes Ho-Chang Yun to become the governor of North Jeolla Province, not the mayor of Gunsan.

I said with a relaxed expression.

“Aren’t you interested in the governor rather than the mayor?”
