Hoarding in Hell Novel

Jung Woo-hyeon, who runs a small factory in Gyeonggi-do, left the house earlier than usual because of the personnel who decided to visit today.

I heard that the visitor was none other than the head of the Gangbuk branch in Seoul, to which he belongs. I've never seen his face, but he's incredibly famous, and in reality, he's no different from the power of the Almighty Ryeon.

'Well, you're going to ask for some money back.'

He heard that he was from a Hunter, but there was no reason for such a person to visit the factory. If he is a delivery person, it is enough to send it through an agent.

He lived far from the factions and political battles of the Almighty League, but he did not see any decent people in the Almighty League.

He simply joined the Almighty Training because he wanted to have a stable supply with a level 3 experience when he was young.

'It was a good thing I hit him there and retired.'

Even now, thinking about that day, his right rib under his right rib is aching.

In the blink of an eye, a goblin's dagger stabbed him in the stomach, and it was only when he saw the gushing blood that he woke up. Oh, I'm not a hunter, they say.

Anyway, thanks to that career, he was able to join the Almighty Religion and run the factory stably. He worked tirelessly to develop technology that could be exported abroad as well.

Even if he didn't make a lot of money, it was enough to feed his employees. These days, the difficulty has risen and the unit price has also increased.

' It would be nice if something different came to Kang Hyunmoo or something.'

Jung Woo-hyeon, who was running on the road, suddenly found a car following right behind him. It was the black van he had attached to shortly after he had departed.

He slowed down to pass and left the left lane clear, but he kept pace and followed.

Jung Woo-hyun found the same van before. A black van was running around one limousine as if escorting it.

Now Jung Woo-hyun is also attached to it, and it looks like they have formed a procession. I tried to pass because I thought something was wrong, but the black van behind me followed me like a ghost again.

I forced myself to speed and overtake the limousine, but the van followed me to the end and entered the factory parking lot.

As soon as Jung Woo-hyun stopped the car, he immediately questioned and listened.

"What are you guys? Are you gangsters? Driving like that..."

Although he retired, he was a bit better than the average person when it came to body use because his talented person was a strong man.

But Jung Woo-hyun stopped as soon as he saw people getting out of the car. Although she was not of great physique, she was a man and woman in suits of various genders and ages.

Jung Woo-hyun immediately noticed that they were Hunters.

"You're the president of the Almighty Ryeon Jung Woo-hyun, right?"

"Uh, uh, uh. That's right."

" Branch Manager Kang Hyunmoo is waiting for you."

Kang Hyunmoo, the branch manager? already?

Jung Woo-hyun was embarrassed, but he followed what they were told once. It wasn't a coercive atmosphere, but I couldn't resist the heavy atmosphere they gave off.

'Were there such hunters in the Almighty League?'

It was the atmosphere of a professional who passed the hurdle of death over and over again. Jung Woo-hyun felt that kind of atmosphere when he occasionally encountered hunters who were as tall as a teenager.

Even if they went to the lower level dungeon hundreds of times, they couldn't create that kind of atmosphere.

Upon arriving at his own factory, he saw a foreign car he had never seen before standing in front of him.

Above the trunk of the car, a man with a face he had seen on the news several times appeared.It's still January and the weather is chilly, but the man is wearing only a shirt and a pair of suit pants.

"Chief Woohyun Jung!"

The man came to him, waving his hand warmly, and grabbed his hand and waved it. Jung Woo-hyun said hello while trying not to be disturbed.

" Kang Hyunmoo, Branch Manager. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too. Did I come a little earlier than the appointed time? Actually, I want to see the factory before it was cleaned up. One of my agents is a little concerned about hygiene..."

Kang Hyunmoo frowned at one of the hunters who brought Jung Woo-hyun.

"It is often said that poor hygiene means that everything is getting worse. Especially in fields that require precision processing like the mana industry, isn't it?"

Jung Woo-hyun was relieved. If it was a cleaning, it was because it was cleaned every day. Especially when it comes to equipment, Jung Woo-hyun checked it thoroughly enough to inspect it himself.

"Fortunately, the score was a passing score. And there is a person I am consulting in the technical field. He is checking with the consent of the person who was there first..."

"Hey, Hyunmoo! The equipment you have is a bit old, but it's still usable. But I think it'll have to be a little bigger to do what you said. I'll have to order a new one, and it's too small. This. Isn't it too?"

An old woman with a slender look, wearing a mask and even gloves, walked out of the factory and said,

The moment the woman took off the mask, Jung Woo-hyun doubted her eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, he was Do Won-kyung, the head of the Sejong Institute who was embroiled in a scandal not long ago.

Hyunmoo nodded his head lightly and continued on to Jung Woo-hyun.

“This is also a passing score. Perhaps it is thanks to the owner’s good management of both machines and people. The drainage system is also good. From what the employees say, it seems that he has been running it conscientiously.”

Jung Woo-hyun couldn't take it any longer.

Judging from Kang Hyunmoo's location, the hunters who visited, and the fact that a man like Professor Do Won-kyung came to visit the factory, he was not someone he would dare to talk to.

"What are you trying to do? This factory is small. It's a no-brainer."

"It is now, but we're going to make it a separate place soon."

Hyunmoo smiled and looked at Jung Woo-hyun.

"Your boss probably doesn't know me, but I remember him. That he's a pretty good person. I've never worked here before."

"This, work?!"

It can't be. Jung Woo-hyun remembers all the contact information and faces of the employees who worked under him. But Hyunmoo had never been involved with him.

Kang Hyunmoo turned his head and looked at the signboard where the factory was.

Hwaseong City Mana Specialized Industrial Complex.

Just a few months ago, it was the place where Hyunmoo was digging through the sewers.

“To be precise, I must say that I have worked in this industrial complex with the president. It is not a place where the movement lines overlap, so you will not know.

"What the hell are you going to do..."

"Ah, the last person has just arrived."

At that moment, a line of limousines and vans entered the parking lot. These were the cars I met on the road earlier.

After the limousine stopped, it was a man of Indian descent who got out of the car. The man approached Hyunmoo with a confused expression.

Jung Woo-hyun just watched the two of them converse in English.

After saying hello, Kang Hyunmoo pointed to Jung Woo-hyun and said something, and the Indian man took out his business card and handed it to Jung Woo-hyun.

Although Jung Woo-hyun speaks short English, he could read the characters on his business card.

"Uh, uh! D&W?"

The lettering on the business card is Dickson & Willson. Because it was the most famous technology company called D&W.

People usually think of global companies like Taesung, but such large companies are nothing more than reassembling and selling parts of companies subcontracted by D&W. The core technology is owned by companies like D&W.

"Hey, why these people?"

"Why did you bring a technician to the factory?"

Hyunmoo replied with a big smile.

"I'm here to make something."

***

Hyunmoo looked around in wonder.

Hwaseong Mana Specialized Industrial Complex, aka Hwaseong Special Industrial Complex, is a place where all mana-related industries in Korea gather.

It was created with tax-free benefits as the mana industry using crystal moss at the beginning of the dungeon was revitalized. Most of them make products to be delivered to Taeseong, but there were quite a few factories belonging to the Almighty Alliance.

Hyunmoo walked among the machines, looking around the factory.

'Just a few months ago, I couldn't even set foot inside the factory.'

When I came to a place I knew, I felt a little bit real. However, that did not mean that the feeling was new or not. Rather, it was surprisingly calm.

Beside him, President Jung Woo-hyeon was following him restlessly.

"Me, Branch Manager Kang Hyunmoo. I'm sorry, but our factory doesn't have the facilities and manpower to meet D&W's technical standards. I think it's better to go to a place with more advanced facilities."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm thinking of entrusting Jung Woo-hyun with other tasks. Seo Ji-hoo, how many companies have returned their assets to the Almighty in the Hwaseong Industrial Complex right now?"

"There are about three. Six will be cleared up soon."

“The president will soon be running 9 factories under the name of Almighty. It is not a scattered factory as it is now, but a unified brand called Almighty. Capital, manpower, technology, and materials will come in, and if the boss manages those All right. Of course, I'll also attach a management consultant to you. Just do what you're comfortable with."

Hyunmoo said, "Oops," adding the missing words.

"I forgot to build a new factory on an empty lot. So maybe about 15? I'll have to hire quite a few people. Don't worry, the government will also provide subsidies."

Jung Woo-hyun's complexion became pale. I couldn't even imagine how big the scale Hyunmoo was talking about.

You've only been running one small factory all your life, and you're saying you'll suddenly show up and pour money?

"I, I can't. I can't because I'm too embarrassed to do that."

“Would my annual salary be around 1 billion won?”

"Even if you can't, you have to try. Ugh."

That's a million dollars a year. Jung Woo-hyun's revenue from running the factory is a little over 1 billion won.

After deducting taxes, salary, and all that, Jung Woo-hyun has less than 100 million won. It was like a tenfold increase in salary in an instant.

“I, but then why did you give me this position……”

When Jung Woo-hyun asked, Hyunmoo smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Sir, it's not that I have a very good eye for people or that I have the power to predict the future. I leave it to you thinking about it, at least not because I'm not someone who will ruin it without a sense of responsibility."

For Hyunmoo, that was enough.

I can't even expect to manage a factory so well that it creates a luxury product that will sweep the market.What Hyunmoo wants is to properly create a virtuous cycle that consumes the huge amount of crystal moss that has been stored and creates new assets.

And the key material in the mana industry is crystal moss. The finest crystal moss is piled up to a level that seems to be almost infinite for Hyunmoo.

If you make a product that incorporates D&W's technology into this crystal moss, it will go above average even if it is made with buttocks. It goes without saying that the production cost is reduced.

"Just do it normally. Moderately. I'll support you with what you need."

Hyunmoo talked up to that point, and left the rest of the trivial questions to Seo Ji-hoo.

Anyway, the preparation period is quite long. It would take at least a year to weave and run all the factories.

Until then, I was planning to produce on a small scale and extract the necessary materials for the Hunter team. Although the performance will be much worse than Hyunmoo's own making.

'It looks strange even if I carry things with too much performance by myself.'

It was also necessary to have adequate camouflage supplies.

The reason why the factory was needed above all else was because of the 'alliance' that Park Hwi-so called.

He is too dependent on his current allies.

When I didn't know their intentions, I sold them at a high price because I was in a hurry, but I couldn't supply crystal moss blindly since we even talked about getting rid of them.

Now, I was going to gradually reduce the supply, and cut it off completely when the income became stable.

'Then the other guy will have no choice but to go out on his own.'

Hyunmoo approached D&W's chief engineer, Arun, who was walking ahead of him.

As an engineer, he looked more excited about meeting Dr. Wonkyung Do than at the factory.

"Arun, did you enjoy the conversation?"

"Oh, Kang Hyunmoo! I didn't expect to meet Dr. Won-Kyung Do here. Really, it was. Actually, my doctoral thesis was about the effect of Won-Kyung Do. If you are an engineer who has entered the item making industry, Dr. Won-Kyung Do is a legend among legends. ."

Arun seemed quite excited.

Do Won-kyung said to Hyunmoo, 'Look, I am such a great person. Would you like to praise and acknowledge me more?' He grunted with a smirk.

Hyunmoo had no choice but to accept Do Won-kyung's pretense. Anyway, Arun seemed to have made a pretty good first impression.

"Then let's move on to the business story. We want D&W's technology. We expect to create great synergies through collaboration in our Almighty Alliance."

"Can you tell me what kind of skills you want specifically?"

As Hyunmoo glanced at Do Won-kyung, she whispered something of hers into Arun's ear. Arun's eyes widened as she listened quietly.

"Uh, how did you know that...?"

Do Won-kyung smiled roundly and continued.

“If you look at the recently published papers, you can guess which direction D&W is going.

Arun looked displeased. But in front of Do Won-kyung, it was hard to say no to him like a knife. But anyway, I could sense that he would refuse on any excuse.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Wonkyung Do. The technology you mentioned is a technology that has not yet been proven practical or marketable. Only very few prototypes have been made, but the unit price is too high to sell."

Hyunmoo opened her mouth.

"Why is the unit price so high?"

"Yeah, because crystal moss costs too much. I'm thinking of making one or two of them by sparing moderate and low-priced crystal moss. I'd rather lose money than use them as weapons. ."

The corners of Hyunmoo's lips rose.

“You mean you only need crystal moss?”
