How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

Jin Doo-yeol, who was appointed as a member of the Pyeongsan County Development Committee, said with a smile.

“Yeah. Because the republic is reformed and opened, all these opportunities will come.”

Jin Doo-yeol, who was working as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Planning and Finance, was shocked to hear the news that a coup had occurred one day.

I never imagined that the day would come when someone would pull out a knife against the Kim family, whom the world held up like heaven.

However, the coup of the Awakeners really succeeded, and when the Kim family and their aides were purged, the republic faced a new era in one day.

The revolutionary government kept its distance from China, which had sheltered the Kim family, and asked for help from South Korea and the United States, which it considered its main enemies.

And that, while handing over the gift that the United States and South Korea most desperately wanted: denuclearization.

The revolutionary government, which received considerable financial support from the United States and Korea, declared the development of Pyeongsan-gun, calling for reform and opening.

And this development is quite different from the way North Korea has been doing it. Until now, the concept of large-scale civil engineering in North Korea was that public officials and people all rushed to the decision made by the party leadership and completed the construction, but this was the first civilian project in North Korea. capitalist development plan.

So, imitating the Korean method, the Pyeongsan-gun Development Committee was created to conduct construction through bidding by private construction companies.

And that laxity served as an incredible opportunity for Jin Doo-yeol.

Jin Doo-yeol said, recalling the conversation he had with an executive of Hanbee Engineering & Construction, an affiliate of Korea’s 9th largest business group, yesterday.

“If you win the bid, you will give 10 times the advance payment? Then you have to let it win unconditionally.”

There were many other companies that came into contact with Hanbi Construction, but Jin Doo-yeol joined hands with Hanbi Construction, which offered the largest amount of money.

“10 times is 100,000 dollars, so how can you refuse this when it’s my 400-year salary?”

Although it is dangerous because the revolutionary government is calling for an end to corruption, the amount of money coming and going from privately-led construction projects is so great that even Jin Doo-yeol, who was receiving a decent salary as a high-ranking public official, risked his life.

“Anyway, long live the revolutionary government, long live.”

Jin Doo-yeol entered the conference room expecting the money he would receive.

Inside, 15 members like Jin Doo-yeol were gathered.

Jin Doo-yeol lightly exchanged greetings with the committee members, then sat down and thought while looking at the other committee members.

‘There must be no one among them who did not eat money, right?’

Since the basic conditions are all the same anyway, it is expected that the bidding price will be there as well.

Of course, it was clear that the outcome of this bidding would be determined by how many committee members were purchased from construction companies.

‘How many people did Hanbi Construction buy?’

While I was thinking about this and that, the chairman looked at the members and said.

“ruler. Then we will begin selecting bids.”

Since it is such a large-scale project, the development of Pyongsan was planned to be carried out by dividing the industrial complex and city construction into several stages.

Among them, the first stage of bidding today is the construction of basic infrastructure such as roads and water pipes for the industrial complex and the construction of an apartment complex for residents who will move into Pyeongsan in the future.

It was the first infrastructure to be built in an empty field where there was nothing, and it was a construction that would be the core of the city.

At the same time, there was also a symbolic meaning depending on which company opened the first shovel.

“First of all, build Dongwoo.”

Starting with Dongwoo Construction, proposals from companies that participated in the bidding by securing development rights in North Korea are revealed one after another.

Jin Doo-yeol, who was casually checking proposals from other companies, finally checked Hanbee Construction’s bid proposal and thought with his eyes shining.

‘This isn’t bad enough.’

The bid price is similar to other companies, and the delivery date is the same.

Then, the difference between winning and losing now is how well Jin Doo-yeol presents a reasonable reason why Hanbi Construction should win this project.

“Hmmm.”

After clearing his throat for a while, Jin Doo-yeol said.

“According to my research, Hanbi Construction is a company that specializes in urban infrastructure construction. In this proposal, various construction achievements that have been carried out in Korea are written. In addition, the delivery date is about two weeks earlier than other companies, so it seems to be perfect for the current situation where speed is important.”

But then another member came forward and said.

“The delivery date is definitely two weeks early. But isn’t money also important? Here, Jincheol Construction has a cheaper bid than Hanbi Construction, but it is inefficient to win a more expensive company for only two weeks.”

At those words, Jin Doo-yeol knew instinctively.

Just as he received money from Hanbi Construction, that guy also received money from Jincheol Construction.

As soon as the water was opened, Doo-yeol Jin and the members of the committee started to put down the opponent by listing the merits of the companies that gave money.

In fact, all the conditions were at the level of recovering the acorn key, but he overdoes it as if a big problem would happen if the company that gave him money did not win the bid.

And among them, Jin Doo-yeol’s Hanbi Construction took the winning step.

Whether the lobbying power of Hanbi Construction was good or how many other committee members he recruited besides himself, several committee members sympathized with his argument and drove public opinion to Hanbi Construction.

‘Joe. If we keep going like this, Hanbi Construction will be back. And $100,000 in my hands… … .’

At that time when I was so swollen with anticipation, the chairman said.

“now. Calm down. There is still one company left. Construction of Seron.”

At that, all members are silent.

Seron Construction is an affiliate of the Seron Group, which is the core of providing 80,000 jobs in this reform and opening up.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s the construction of Seron. It’s smaller than other construction companies and has poor performance, so it’s enough to push.’

As an improvised construction company, it would have been impossible to acquire development rights given only to large corporations originally.

Jin Doo-yeol accepted the bid proposal from Seron Construction.

‘Where, how great a proposal was made… … .’

Jin Doo-yeol confirmed the proposal of Seron Construction.

And Jin Doo-yeol was silent.

‘Two, two and a half months!?’

The bid amount is just in the middle of other construction companies.

However, the delivery date is less than half of that of other companies with average delivery times of six months.

‘Isn’t this a scam? How can it be so different?!’

In addition to the closed environment, it was North Korea that intentionally hid the existence of Han Ji-hyeok, who is called the strongest awakener.

‘Damn it. I can’t do this?’

I risked my life, but it was because I thought there was a high probability that I wouldn’t catch it because it was so much acorn height, and if it was like this, the story would be different.

If you choose another company with such an overwhelming offer, the revolutionary government will notice right away because it will be too obvious.

The only way is for Hanbi Construction to modify the conditions at least similar to this.

Jin Doo-yeol raised his hand and said.

“I went to the bathroom for a while.”

Jin Doo-yeol, who left the conference room pretending to go to the bathroom, called the Hanbi construction executive.

-Yes, Commissioner.

“Executive Director Kim, was it possible to revise the bid proposal?”

– Correction? A little adjustment is possible.

“It’s not that much, but it’s saying that the delivery date can’t be reduced to about three months.”

At that, the executive of Hanbee Construction, who was silent for a moment, spoke.

-… is it seron?

“yes? How did you know?”

-sh*t. I didn’t think it was possible, but you really pulled out the knife. Whoa. So, this first bid is hopeless. Back off at once.

“You give up so easily? Aren’t you being too patient?”

-If it was something that could be solved with persistence and grit, I did it anyway. But cheat keys like skeletons aren’t the kind of thing that can be solved with that.

“no… what the hell is this… … .”

– For now, just skip today. Instead, the atmosphere was set in such a way that the job creation effect would only be achieved by hiring a lot of North Korean workers, not skeletons, until the next bidding… … .

* * *

Late at night, the industrial complex construction site in Pyeongsan-gun is literally flooded with people… No, it was forming a sea of bones and bones.

Former Ceron shoe skeletons equipped with construction algorithms created at the research center transform into construction skeletons and dig up the construction site with pickaxes and shovels, literally devastating the ground.

“As expected, the undead is a human tactic.”

Heavy equipment is used by people who will work during the day, and it is best to push skeletons with numbers.

Isn’t there a saying that if money doesn’t solve it, think about whether it’s not enough money.

The same goes for this.

Is progress over there slow?

Then stop mercilessly pouring skeletons there.

“When the North Korean workers come tomorrow morning, organize the details of what the skeletons have done and put them into work.”

In fact, the skeleton does the work, and only the details are borrowed from people later.

It was a similar work method to that used when building ships at Saeron Shipbuilding.

“All right. ah. And now it seems that other construction companies are lobbying against the commissioners.”

At the words of the president of Seron Construction, I said with a smile.

“Is that any use? In the first place, the conditions themselves are not even comparable.”

“It doesn’t seem like that. There is a rumor going around among the committee members that if the construction is carried out using skeletons, the employment effect will be reduced to that extent, which will adversely affect the economy.”

Ohh.

I can’t help the skeletons, so I’ll bring down the Seron construction so that they are on a similar condition to them?

I shrugged and said.

“It’s useless, though, because it’s much more effective to complete the industrial complex and city quickly and operate the factory than to delay construction due to the effect of hiring construction workers.”

Even the revolutionary government can’t take notice of me since most of the employment is in charge of Seron Shoes.

“Even so, if this story spreads to North Koreans, it will have a negative impact.”

“hmm. That’s a bit troublesome.”

Now, all these projects are the base work for the unstable revolutionary government to gain popularity from the North Korean people.

“Isn’t it enough just to match the number of employees?”

“yes?”

“Hire the same number of workers as other companies have suggested. Shorten the delivery time, what.”

If the land price is so high as in Korea and the method focuses on raising it high, there is no choice but to increase the speed even if people and skeletons are replaced.

The time it takes for concrete to harden is not physically possible.

But here at the construction site, the tallest building is only 7 floors, and the apartment is only 5 floors.

In other words, it is an optimal environment to change the labor force.

“Do all the work at the same time.”

After raising the frame, I ignore all the processes of interior design and exterior landscaping and proceed all at the same time.

Of course, it’s inefficient, but it’s the labor force that’s all over the place anyway.

“no. Should I just hire 1.5x?”

Even if you hire 1.5 times, Seron Construction, whose delivery time is two and a half months, is literally aggressive in terms of quantity, which is possible because labor costs are much lower than other construction companies that take six months.

“That, we just lobby too… … .”

“lobby? You want me to poke you money? I don’t do that.”

What do I miss, so I have to work while paying money?

Besides, if I get caught lobbying like that, it’s a big blow to the image I’ve built up so far.

I must be without any flaws legally.

For a peaceful and happy retirement.

“Just push with volume. Ignore all the safety rules and all that. Even if it breaks, I will take responsibility.”

One of the biggest factors delaying delivery is safety rules.

But skeletons don’t know that, right?

In particular, those guys are cheaply and roughly made worker skeletons to make shoes and clothes, so even if they are smashed, there is no damage.

“Ah, I see, Chairman.”

I said with a satisfied expression.

“This is it. Yes, this is it.”

How long have you been doing business in Korea?

A series of persuasion and balance, such as worrying about jobs and soothing opposition from existing companies.

But not North Korea.

It’s literally a blank sheet itself, so how nice it is to be able to push it coolly.

“good. All public affairs in North Korea are won by public officials!”

* * *

There was a slight controversy about hiring North Korean labor, but the controversy quickly faded as Seron Construction hired 1.5 times as many people and pushed it forward.

In this way, Saeron monopolized all of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds, and indeed, there was not a single construction site in Pyeongsan-gun except for the Saeron construction mark.

But there was one side effect I hadn’t thought of.

“Eh? I do not have money?”

Even if the speed of the construction of Seron was fast, it was too fast.

Since denuclearization takes a considerable amount of time from dismantlement to verification, South Korea and the United States promised to provide loans sequentially as the denuclearization process progressed, and the revolutionary government also planned to execute funds in accordance with that order. After finishing it, I made a plan for the next one, but I don’t have the money to proceed with that plan.

“… I received the balance after the 1st construction was completed, but I paid the balance too early, so there is not enough advance money to proceed with the 4th project.”

The president of Seron Construction shook his head and said.

“You live and live and experience all these things.”

Completing it so quickly that the plan for executing the funds is entangled.

“Then when did the 4th construction start?”

“An additional loan is coming in a month from now, and they say they will proceed when it comes in.”

“… Then what if we finish that quickly?”

“Then the fifth car will be delayed.”

A situation where the speed of fund transfusion cannot keep up with the speed of construction.

The more the construction rounds are repeated, the more the construction will be delayed.

“Ah, it’s so frustrating to handle things.”

Of course, the revolutionary government may say something else if the loan is given as a lump sum, so I fully understand that it is paid sequentially, but from the point of view of doing business in the field, it is very frustrating.

“What do we do?”

From nob le mtl dot com

My plan to complete the construction quickly and attract money to the North Korean construction boom has been disrupted.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought of China, the role model of North Korea.

“What did China do?”

After reform and opening up, China actively encouraged construction and experienced a real estate boom.

Chinese real estate companies borrowed money from banks, built buildings with the money, sold them, and borrowed money again indefinitely.

Of course, now that the real estate market has slowed down, the debt has been a hindrance, and real estate companies have been destroyed one after another, but it is true that real estate has been the central axis that has been supporting the Chinese economy.

The problem is that the US and Korea, which should play the role of the banks here, cannot spread the money.

In other words, it means that it is not a case that can be applied to this situation now.

But then, when it comes to China, one thing comes to mind.

“for a moment. one on one?”

The Belt and Road Initiative to establish an international maritime and land trade network centered on China.

For this project, China lent money to build ports to countries in need of base ports, and loaned land network construction funds to countries that needed to build land routes.

If you listen to this far, it seems like a win-win for China because it builds an international trade network, and the country can make infrastructure with money from other countries, but it was not a reality.

When China lends money, it stipulates that it must use its own construction companies and its own workers at the same time, and because of this condition, the funds borrowed from China are returned to China intact.

This is the point.

“After lending my money, I get the money back and the other person owes it?”

First of all, the lack of money is lent by the Seron Group.

Then, the construction was carried out by Seron Construction and recovered intact.

Then, when the revolutionary government receives a loan from Korea and the United States, the loan is used to pay back the money borrowed from the Seron Group.

Then, the Seron Group can make money by rapidly carrying out the construction, and earn interest in the meantime, so it’s really killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, there are risks.

If for some reason the relationship between the revolutionary government and Korea and the United States deteriorates and negotiations are delayed or distorted, the money I lent will float in the air.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because I have the ability to forcibly secure collateral if I can’t repay the debt after I’ve secured collateral.

In the first place, the Korean government had that fact in mind and asked the Ceron Group to advance.

“If everything goes according to plan, the revolutionary government is good because it can proceed with the development at a crazy speed, and I am also good because I can make money. Even if the plan gets messed up, you can take the collateral instead of the debt.”

What if you refuse to provide collateral?

If the collateral was the land, it would be enough to place an undead army on the land and make it forbidden to enter the private land.

After all, the unstable revolutionary government won’t even dare to go to war against my undead army.

“If this happens, it’s like holding on to one leash more firmly.”

The way only I can do it with both force and money.

“good. Let’s go with this, the Seron version one-on-one.”

I spoke to the CEO of Seron Construction.

“Please contact the revolutionary government and ask if they need money.”
