Chapter 11
11What a businessman...shake hands?
Doojeong Group was one of the leading conglomerates in Korea..
From ramen to missiles.
Although there are many businesses that have failed and others that have succeeded, Dujeong's influence is considerable not only in Korea but also in the world..
The most critical business since the emergence of Gate is the food industry..
Numerous granary areas, including the Huabei Plain in China and the Nile Delta in Egypt, were abandoned due to magical contamination caused by Dungeon Break..
30Years ago, there was no magic tower reagent to decontaminate magic pollution, so this pollution caused permanent damage and naturally caused a global food shortage..
Governments of each country had to establish sources of food supplies to replace abandoned granaries, and provided significant support to domestic companies in this regard..
Dujeong Mirae Food is a large corporation that accounts for 30% of the domestic food industry thanks to the government's full support..
Park Jong-chan, the managing director of such a real-life company, is a powerful person who can carry strength on his shoulders wherever he goes..
He is a person who has never been treated with contempt anywhere..
"Business... shake hands?"
For a moment I thought I heard wrong..
Business? In modern times, businessmen are the leaders of society who are respected more than anyone else..
The enormous capital handled by managers moves power and even changes laws..
When he becomes the managing director of a powerful company, the Doojeong Group, he is a person that even a high-ranking hunter or member of the National Assembly cannot treat lightly..
What is the meaning of those eyes and tone of voice that belittles oneself, no, the businessman itself??
Even the female employees of the association are looking at me in shock at this shocking remark..
Park Jong-chan wore a business smile without breaking his expression..
"Haha, it seems like Leon Survivor is not familiar with modern Earth civilization. Modern businessmen are very different from the businessmen of the past.……."
"How can a lowly merchant speak so carelessly to a royal family? This king has never condoned your remarks.."
What is this, a crazy person? Park Jong-chan has met several survivors for his business, but he has never received such contempt..
"My Majesty... In our world, businessmen are a profession that is definitely respected.……."
At those words, Leon let out a helpless voice as if he was dumbfounded..
"In essence, businessmen are people who sell their dignity and self-respect for profit. They exploit loopholes in the law and are proud of it."
It was not something that could be denied. Doojeong Mirae Foods was immediately criticized for tax evasion, illegal unity, and excessive pursuit of profits..
It wasn't much different from other business people..
"Even if the world is different, the nature and fundamentals of business will not change. So how can things with a mean tongue and a mean nature come face to face with noble royalty?."
"Mmm……."
"There's nothing more to hear."
that was the end.
After being humiliated and ignored, Leon calmly passed by Park Jong-chan..
Hari follows along. Park Jong-chan was shocked and speechless as he looked at his back..
"Well, what is it?……."
* * * *
"This is your Majesty's residence.."
"Well, that's okay.."
In modern society, a 50-pyeong officetel is an over-the-top specification for a single-person household, but for Leon, it wasn't as good as his royal palace..
Still, I didn't feel like making a big deal about it since he was from Earth and often spent sleeping in the open..
"This is a place that the Society will provide to His Majesty for a year. You do not need to worry about monthly rent or management fees as the association will take care of all of them.."
Hari explains various things to Leon, who nods his head. When needed, there are room service and cleaning staff who provide maintenance fees, so they organize the necessary matters..
'after… Anyway, I'm glad.'
It was fortunate for Han Ha-ri, a member of the Hunter Association, that Leon passed by Park Jong-chan, executive director of Mirae Foods..
Information about survivors is usually confidential. Like North Korean defectors, those coming from remote communities will also be quarantined for three months and receive education..
However, if it were a completely different world, the sense of difference would naturally be enormous. Originally, we would have to educate him step by step after quarantine, but if we decided to quarantine Leon right away, there would be an uproar..
"But why did you come to visit His Majesty??"
"Where will the roots of business go? They must have been following me."
Profit? What kind of profit does the managing director of Doojeong Group give to Leon? Hari slapped his knee..
"Is it because of rice? Because of the blessed rice of the Honam Plain……."
Because the situation was so urgent, information control was not properly implemented. They said an internet broadcaster filmed it..
"Mr. Park is clearly a farmer... Did you say?"
She searched on Yutuber and checked the video posted by Mr. Park. Apparently, the association stopped the video and made a recommendation.──
"Huh? This person posted it again?!"
* * * *
Mr. Park, a farmer, was in a depressed mood because his recently uploaded video was frozen..
A shocking scene filmed in real time in front of the Honam Plain Gate..
The land that had clearly been contaminated with wastewater grew quickly..
"Well, did you just see it, brothers? Rice… Rice is amazing! I grew up saying?!"
-What is it? What is it?
-not magic?
-Was it a blonde wizard from the Magic Tower? It's not like I used a magic spell for rapid growth.?
-But no matter how much magic, can plants grow on land contaminated with magic??
-It might be a new technology we don't know about..
Crops grew on rotten, rotten land. Mr. Park, a farmer, knew very well how great this was..
Even after the magical energy purification technology appeared in the Mage Tower, wasn't the land contaminated by magical energy being purified by pouring expensive reagents for one to two years?.
Mr. Park, who remembered his neighbor Mr. Jeong who went bankrupt because he could not afford the reagent costs, swallowed his saliva at the miracle before his eyes..
-But you can't eat crops grown using magic anyway..
-ㅇㅇ Because it contains magical powers, it is poisonous to ordinary people..
-Even hunters need to do a stomach lavage after eating a few times..
But soon a surprising sight was seen. The association's employees use a thresher to shake off the rice and then cook and eat it themselves.!
"You there! what are you doing now!"
When he got closer to see if he was really eating, he was caught by the association's employees and kicked out, but that evening, Mr. Park urgently went to see Mr. Kim, the owner of the field..
"Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim! Did you take care of what I asked for??
"then. I heard that the association leaders said that it should never be taken out.……."
"Where is that law? The owner of the field is not Mr. Kim.?"
"That's right……."
"Even the polluted land has completely healed? The association’s noblemen also ate a bowl of rice each.."
"yes…….
Mr. Park was a YouTuber and was so curious that he took pictures of all kinds of wild animals in the countryside..
Not only was the land contaminated with magic water purified, but the crops grew in an instant. How can I get over this??
This is a joke. But before that, I want to do a preliminary experiment..
"First, let's cook rice and feed it to the local hoe first.."
"Hmm… That's a good idea."
The two first cooked just one bowl of rice as a demonstration..
I wanted to eat the glossy rice with shredded kimchi on top, but just in case, shouldn't I test on animals first??
-keung!
It was then. As soon as the rice was finished in the rice cooker, an old dog came from outside the door..
"It's not Cheon's first birthday.?"
"I know. You said you'll do it tomorrow, why are you here??"
Dolsuni was a twelve-year-old dog. This is a case where, as is common with old animals, they lived with arthritis, which led to lack of exercise and obesity..
Why does Dolsuni, who usually stays at home, show up here??
-Wow! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
"No, Inum? Hey, aren’t you going back home??"
It was then. Dol-suni, who was looking in this direction from outside the door, suddenly thrust her head toward the dining table..
"Oh my!"
"Is the dog of Inum??!"
The two were furious, but were soon surprised by Dol-suni's behavior..
"You bastard! You can't eat that.!"
"Why are the dogs suddenly eat and get fucking!"
It was a big deal. No matter how much of a dog he is, Dolsuni was a dog raised with great care by Mr. Cheon..
If such a dog dies after eating rice, no matter how old the dog is, it will be sad..
"Spit it out, dude! ok? Spit it out!"
Mr. Park tried to open Dolsuni's mouth and spit out the rice, but Dolsuni swallowed the rice as if this was her way of survival. and…….
-Wow! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
A dolsuni jumping up and down while making a loud sound. Dolsuni, which was jumping around like a grasshopper, soon ran towards Cheon's house..
"Uh oh?"
"What is this?……."
It was an old dog that had difficulty walking due to arthritis. It was last week that I saw Mr. Cheon crying quietly while holding Dolsun, who is born tomorrow..
But what on earth does that mean? As if I had become healthy..
"……."
"……."
Mr. Park and Mr. Kim stared at each other, thinking the same thing. The two immediately started cooking a new meal..
"Oh my! Chronic scoliosis?!"
"It feels refreshing, as if my stuffy heart has been opened up.!"
A village in Honam. The miracles that occurred there quickly spread throughout the village..
Meanwhile, a similar phenomenon was occurring at the Dujeong Future Food Laboratory, which set out to determine the identity of rice through the Phoenix Guild..
"What, what am I looking at now?."
"How is such a high density of energy packed into a single grain of rice??"
Each and every piece of 'Blessed Rice' obtained through the Phoenix Guild was confirmed to be of rare grade through cross-verification by appraisers..
[blessed rice]
◆ Grade: Rare
◆ particular
This is rice blessed with the divine power of the goddess Demera, the divinity of life and abundance..
3Grading diseases are alleviated. There is a high probability of complete cure if consumed continuously..
"Blessed rice? What on earth are you blessed with??"
"Isn't it magic? What religion is Goddess Demera??"
"3If it is a grade disease, to what extent can it be alleviated??"
"It's like early stage colon cancer.."
"shit! Can you prove this? Experiment with lab rats!"
Experiment results,
The healing power of blessed rice was real.
Experimental mice that were dying due to continuous consumption of experimental crops actually got better..
"Hey, hurry up! You have to report to the top! I told them to secure as many seeds as possible.!"
In this way, the laboratory's research results report was delivered to the upper management of Dujeong Mirae Food, and Executive Director Park Jong-chan was dispatched immediately..
The Dujeong Group also had eyes and ears on the Hunter Association, so it wasn't difficult to find Leon..
「Business... shake hands?」
But Leon mercilessly ignored them, and Director Park Jong-chan returned in a huff..
"You arrogant barbarian bastard!"
Director Park's anger exploded like an active volcano..
The researchers who came to report on the nameplate he threw away narrowed their eyes, but he didn't care about them..
"hey. Those rice fields. The effect is certain?"
"Yes, yes… ! yes."
"You haven't even done a clinical trial. If it worked on rats, there's a guarantee that it'll work on people too.?"
"that is……."
The secretary stepped forward instead..
"In order to secure as many seeds as possible, we visited the owner of the field. But there──"
The secretary relayed what Mr. Park and Mr. Kim experienced..
A dog that was dying came back to life. It is said that chronic inflammation and rhinitis were cured by eating rice. It is said that the entire village ate that rice and were cured of everything from minor to serious chronic illnesses..
"Although clinical trial data was not secured... The effectiveness is proven or equivalent.."
"Things are things.."
Greed appeared in Director Park’s eyes. If he hadn't believed in the effectiveness of appraisers' emotions in the first place, he wouldn't have come forward..
That rice is a big hit. It is an item so great that it can revolutionize the times..
"If you weren't such a crazy asshole."
The problem was the survivor who held the secret of the rice..
The anachronistic barbarian survivor looked down on himself, the director of the world's Dujeong Group, calling him a lowly businessman..
"Director… We must secure it unconditionally. That rice has infinite power."
"I know too."
This is rice that can even cure cancer just by eating it. It is an item that will cause a cataclysm not only in food but also in the medical world..
"Meeting again... I'll have to see it."
Since he's such a picky crazy guy, I think I'll have to ask to meet him through the association. It was a surprise visit before the association stopped it, but everything went wrong..
"In this Republic of Korea, it is ridiculous to know business people.?"
He was determined to crush this savage's nose..
So did many survivors..
Survivors of a foolish, barbaric civilization who think their world is the best..
When they saw the overwhelming scientific and productive power of modern civilization, they finally acknowledged that they were left behind..
"It looks like he's showing off with just one piece of rice... Let me represent the Earth and show you the power of science."
Director Park smiled in remorse..
'I will overwhelm you with ‘culture shock’.
