The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 114

“This is….”
Early morning in the office.
Immediately after the official letter was sent to all employees, Soyeon Moon came to me with a puzzled look on her face.
“Are you really going to do this from now on…?”
“yes. That’s how it happened. “The company’s situation is difficult, so I can’t help it.”
“Ah, no matter what….”
Is it still difficult to understand?
Well, I fully expected that there would be opposition among employees.
Even when I was the head of the operations team before returning, I received a lot of criticism for the rest of my life because of this incident.
The hunters also rose up, but how can they be even more outrageous?
But I have no intention of looking into the situation.
No matter how much they protest, they won’t even blink.
…I even promised myself for a moment.
“Isn’t banning overtime work actually bad for the company? Of course, it’s good for us, but…”
“You’re trying to save on overtime pay, so why is that bad for the company?”
It was a completely different reaction than I expected.
“Oh no… That overtime pay is something they don’t normally pay…”
“Isn’t that illegal?”
“So, it’s illegal, but usually…”
Moon So-yeon hesitated, perhaps because something was difficult to explain and she was frustrated.
You’re just saying things that I can’t understand.
“Ha, is he a good person or is he just an idiot?…”
Meanwhile, Han Yu-bin, who was listening next to him, muttered softly.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you know that the employees are all upset right now?”
“I had some expectations. I told you there was nothing I could do. If things continue like this, we won’t be able to pay our employees’ salaries. Even though it may be difficult, I plan to push ahead with it for the time being.”
“That’s the problem! “I have to work more because the company is having a hard time. If we ban overtime, stay up all night, and overtime, who will do the work and who will make the money?!”
Han Yu-bin raised her voice.
As I was making a puzzled expression because I didn’t understand, she spoke again.
“If we keep doing this, we’re going to fail?! “I wonder if there are people lining up to work overtime just because they don’t have to get paid?!”
“No… I don’t understand right now… Why are you saying you want to work without getting paid? “What does it have to do with employees whether the company goes bankrupt or not?”
“It’s important who the company is.”
“…?”
Why does it matter whose company it is? A company is a company.
It’s a company where you get paid according to the amount of work you do.
Even if the company goes bankrupt, I will lose money because I have invested, but they will not.
I thought they were going to complain that their pay was low due to the reduction in work, but… they’re worried about the company over just one employee.
“Ha… That’s it. They say it’s a decision, but we can’t insist on it. “I figured it out.”
Han Yu-bin ended the story on her own, as if she could no longer communicate.
“I thought you would hear me shouting, right?”
Director Lee Ah-young, who had been listening quietly, finally opened her mouth.
“I thought they would ask for more money, but I didn’t expect to hear them say they wouldn’t take it.”
When I was the head of the operations team, the hunters went crazy as soon as we banned overtime.
Since I’m expressing my dissatisfaction in this way, I honestly don’t know which melody to dance to.
“You didn’t think it would be the same as Hunter, did you? “The overtime pay there is in the hundreds of millions.”
“The units are different, but isn’t it the same in the end to get more money?”
“The company is more important to them than receiving a few pennies. Why is there a saying that you should work with a sense of ownership?”
“That’s what I don’t understand. Are there people who actually do that when they are told to have a sense of ownership? “It’s not even a drama.”
“Iknow, right. I thought so too…”
Why are you looking at me like that?
“It does exist.”
“….”
“You can’t even compare the basic salary with the association. In addition, all allowances are provided, transportation and food expenses are covered, and any necessary equipment is provided immediately. And if something unpleasant happens, you will somehow resolve it.”
“….”
“If it were me, would you still bury the bones?”
Director Lee Ah-young shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, it’s not really a problem. “He may be perfect as a leader, but he’s not good as a businessman.”
If you’re going to praise, just praise.
This isn’t like giving you a bottle or giving you medicine.
“First of all, we have reduced the areas that can be saved as much as possible, but as Yubin said, management will become difficult. Sales will drop as much as it rains. Ultimately, we need to secure funds to fundamentally solve the problem.”
“Hmm…”
“Of course, I know you don’t like receiving help from anyone due to your personality, but now is not the time to be stubborn. “You should know how to get help if you need it.”
I have no intention of being stubborn in the first place.
What good is pride when it comes to money?
I just came up with a way to reduce costs as much as possible right now.
‘So I thought there would be more opposition….’
Anyway, there are no sane people.
Anyway, it is possible to hold out for a while, but it is dangerous.
As the president of the association said, we need to win corporate investment… but what do the most money-obsessed people see in investing in us?
‘Tsk, I wonder if a wad of money doesn’t fall from somewhere.’
After all, making money is a difficult problem.
Knock –
While I was struggling with my finances, a man came into the office.
A man in a neat suit bowed his head slightly and opened his mouth.
“My name is Bae Hyun-soo, an aide to Rep. Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party. “Are you CEO Kim Jun-woo?”
“Yes, that’s true, but…”
“Nothing else, the councilor said he would like to meet me sometime.”
“…?”
A congressman wants to meet me?
Why all of a sudden?
***
A building stands tall in Jongno, Seoul, as if showing off its majesty.
It was once on the verge of bankruptcy, but with the advent of the first dungeon, it quickly emerged as the country’s highest-priced company through trade in by-products and items.
Hanbyeol General Trading Company.
“After the terrorist and attack incident, it appears that the situation is quite serious both inside and outside the association. Accordingly, the Future Democratic Party appears to be preparing a dungeon privatization bill.”
Sales Manager’s Office.
Director Oh Jae-yeop explained as he handed over the documents he had prepared to a man.
It was a document containing detailed information on the dungeon privatization bill.
“Hmm…”
The man who received the document held his chin.
Ha Seong-tae, head of sales at Hanbyul General Trading Company.
He is very young, but considering that he is the eldest grandson of Hanbyul Group Chairman Ha Deok-soo and the eldest son of Hanbyul General Trading Company President Ha Dong-bae, his age was a good thing.
Recently, President Ha Dong-bae collapsed due to a chronic illness and was unconscious, so he was no different from the actual head of Hanbyeol Trading Company.
While Director Ha Seong-tae was looking through the documents, Director Oh Jae-yeop cautiously opened his mouth.
“Of course, this is a bill for which public opinion is still divided. From a company’s point of view, there is obviously no reason to oppose it, but the association and citizens…” ”
I guess so. “This means that the ownership of subjugation dungeons, which had been the sole authority of the association until now, will be released to private companies.”
Basically, there is a stronger backlash if you give something and take it away than if you don’t give it from the beginning.
Above all, isn’t the right to subjugation the foundation of the association and the source of its influence? Since they say they will take it away, it is natural to oppose it.
Director Ha Seong-tae said as he put down the documents.
“Well, the key is whether it will definitely pass. “No matter what the association says, this is an opportunity we cannot miss.”
“It is a little early to make a hasty conclusion, but experts believe there is a high probability that it will pass.”
“Then we should move in step.”
Director Ha Seong-tae responded with a dignified smile.
If dungeons are privatized, everyone will be able to own dungeons, including companies, private guilds, and ordinary citizens. Then, as long as there are people capable of carrying out the operation, companies can also be subjugated.
This meant that subjugation was now also a business.
‘It’s a private subjugation project…’
His intuition was telling him.
This definitely makes money.
That’s a huge amount of money too.
“Well, we can just bring in hunters from freelancers and guilds…”
A picture has already begun to form in Director Ha Seong-tae’s head.
At this point, Chief Oh Jae-yeop also joined in.
“I think the support and control team can be scouted from overseas.”
“great. “Let’s do that.”
“But… what should the cleaning team do?”
“Oh, I see. “There was something like that.”
It’s the cleaning team…
“Actually, that’s the most ambiguous. Karma Corporation’s presence is too strong for scouting, but to create a team on our own…” “
Budget is probably the problem. “After all, I’m a janitor.”
Director Oh Jae-yeop nodded.
Then, Director Ha Seong-tae thought of a way.
“In that case, it might be better to bring a company that was created completely over to us.”
“You mean Karma Corporation…?”
“Is there any other cleaning company other than that?”
“But the representative there is former headquarters director Kim Jun-woo. I don’t think I’ll agree to the takeover…”
“Hmm.”
It wasn’t wrong.
No amount of trickery will be able to move him.
Just as I was wondering what I could do to persuade him, Ha Seong-tae’s cell phone rang.
After checking the caller’s name, he winked at Director Oh Jae-yeop.
Director Oh Jae-yeop immediately realized what he meant, and Ha Seong-tae only then answered the phone.
「It’s a day. “How did you check the article?”
The person who called was Rep. Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party.
“Yes, Senator. I’ve just checked.”
“Well, the atmosphere is good right now. “I think it will really pass this time.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Then how…”
Director Ha Seong-tae continued speaking, his voice quiet.
“How can I pay for it? These days, I recommend stocks rather than real estate…”
「Hahaha! After all, it’s refreshing because he’s the chairman’s grandson!”
Rep. Jeong Hoon’s cheerful laughter was heard.
In fact, the bill was proposed a long time ago, but after several hardships, it was on the verge of being scrapped even within the Future Democratic Party.
However, from Ha Seong-tae’s perspective, it was an opportunity too good to be missed.
So, I first reached out to Rep. Jeong Hoon.
They promised subsidies and large gifts on the condition that they push through the privatization bill.
Rep. Jeong Hoon had no reason to reject the offer since he had already been in a relationship with his father, CEO Ha Dong-bae, for a long time.
Rep. Jeong Hoon opened his mouth in a very serious voice.
“Let’s put that aside for now… There is one thing that bothers me.”
“Please tell me.”
“Do you know that he is CEO Kim Jun-woo?”
“Yes, I know, but… is there any problem with him?”
“I guess that person is an ambush. No matter what anyone says, he is the guy who led the association to its heyday. He will definitely be against the bill… Honestly, you can ignore other people, but not him.”
“The level of influence is different from other association members. “Citizens’ trust is enormous.”
“If a guy like that stands up for the association and opposes it, we will be at a disadvantage. So, I want to somehow attract him to us… but no matter how much I think about it, there is no good way.”
Director Ha Tae-sik was lost in thought for a moment.
At the end, he smiled and opened his mouth.
“Good. “We were also interested in his company.”
“Hmm…?”
“I think there is a way.”
“Really?”
“Yes, well… let’s meet and talk first. Of course, CEO Kim Jun-woo as well.”
Director Ha Seong-tae hung up the phone with those words.
