Episode 145.
Special lessons from Hercules.
But unfortunately.
I couldn’t figure out what the special tutoring was.
“I will offer new video content as a condition for negotiation.”
Hercules asked to be informed of new video content in exchange for special tutoring.
“I thought you were just some ignorant muscle whale.”
At times like this, Hercules was quite a meticulous person.
But what.
It wasn’t a particularly unreasonable condition.
That’s what the contract with Hercules was like from the beginning.
And it was about time to slowly tell you.
So, there was a cooldown time.
Above all, I’m sure you’ve thought about new video content in advance.
It wasn’t an unreasonable condition.
“But that still doesn’t work.”
But Siwoo refused.
The reason was simple.
“Who knew that it would only be a special tutoring class?”
Because I couldn’t trust Hercules.
Rather than saying I don’t believe it.
“Who knew that this would be special tutoring based on his standards?”
Thinking back to the last time Black Stone happened, it was simple.
So, this is Fenrir’s strategy.
At that time, Hercules had taught Siu various things, including the method of conquering Fenrir.
And the results are all useless.
“It was a strategy that was possible because it was Hercules.”
What he said while doing that was really true.
Like you said it was because you were weak.
Who knew anchovies were so ugly?
Are you saying that it will only turn into anchovies?
He was making really annoying noises.
Is there any chance that this special class will be no different?
Even though I received special tutoring, it didn’t seem to be of much use.
“Who would have thought you had so little talent?”
It was clear that Bona Mana would talk nonsense.
Then, only the video content that was provided will disappear.
Of course, that might not be the case.
But what if that really is the case?
“I’m the only one who’s going to suffer.”
So Siwoo added one more condition.
“It’s not too late to take special lessons first and then let me know.”
A kind of preemptive strike.
I’ll try it first and let you know if it works.
Siwoo set forth such a condition.
This was something that Hercules could only lose.
On the contrary, it was a situation where Siwoo could have said something else.
But whatever.
[Okay, just wait. I’ll create an amazing curriculum and make sure you master Form 1!]
In this contract, A was Siwoo.
“Anyway.”
At times like this, the world seemed like a simple Hercules.
anyway.
“I didn’t know it would take 12 years.”
Of course, if the transformation had progressed to some extent, it would have taken four years.
However, this is only the standard when the transformation is complete.
“It still feels so far away.”
It was truly a distant memory to Siwoo now.
It wasn’t for nothing that he was called the strongest on YouTube.
“It might get better if I get some special tutoring, but….”
As you say, it is not a situation where you can rely solely on special tutoring.
“Let’s try another channel.”
I felt like I needed to find another channel to fill my miserable talent gap.
but.
“I can’t afford the next membership subscription fee….”
I couldn’t do anything about the crazy subscription fees.
No, that’s right.
“Does 16 billion make sense?”
The next membership subscription fee is a whopping 16 billion.
That was 16 billion per month.
And the subscription fee that Siwoo currently pays every month is 15.1 billion won.
Add 16 billion to that… .
“31.1 billion.”
This… wasn’t real.
No, really, that wasn’t it.
31.1 billion isn’t even someone’s name.
What’s more, we have to spend 31.1 billion won every month?
“What the….”
There has never been such nonsense as this.
“ha….”
Seriously, I couldn’t help but sigh.
When will I be able to escape from this money shackle?
No, is it possible to escape?
“Haaah… .”
The sighs just wouldn’t stop.
But what can I do?
“I have to keep earning money….”
Apart from Hercules’ special lessons.
So now.
“I’m sorry. I’ve kept you waiting.”
The door to the office opened and a woman came in.
A beauty with a mature sophistication.
Han Min-ah, director of SH Group and Han Chae-rin’s aunt.
“no.”
Siwoo quietly got up from his seat and greeted Han Min-ah.
Han Min-ah sat in front of Si-woo with a small smile.
“Thank you for understanding. Don’t be like that, sit down.”
As soon as Siwoo sat down again, Han Min-ah opened her mouth.
“I’m talking about the promotional video production I mentioned last time. I think… we’ll have to put it on hold.”
The Han family’s way of talking is to throw away trivial things.
Siwoo asked Han Min-ah without being flustered by the now familiar way of speaking.
“What’s going on?”
“That’s right… .”
Han Min-ah didn’t answer easily.
To be more precise, it seemed like he was worried.
I wonder if I can talk to Siwoo.
But that was only for a moment.
“Since it’s related to Chae-rin, you should know that too. Chae-rin, whether you see her or not, she’ll definitely suffer alone without saying anything.”
Han Min-ah opened her mouth without difficulty.
So Han Min-ah began her long story.
Well, actually.
It wasn’t that long.
“therefore….”
Siwoo asked, organizing the story in his head.
“Are you saying that the contract with Maotao Enterprise fell through?”
“that’s right.”
Han Min-ah nodded slightly.
“But is there a case where a contract is suddenly canceled like this?”
Of course, Siwoo didn’t know much about business and management.
But I knew that a contract like this wouldn’t fall through overnight.
just as expected.
“Of course that doesn’t make sense.”
Han Min-ah answered with a small sigh.
“Then why…?”
“check.”
check?
As Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it, Han Min-ah immediately continued speaking.
“There are a few authors within the SH Group who don’t want Chae-rin’s position to be strengthened.”
It was a word with multiple meanings.
So I couldn’t figure out the exact meaning.
But Siwoo could vaguely understand its meaning.
‘Is this a management fight between conglomerates?’
In many ways, it was a different world from Siwoo’s.
“So, does that mean that if we fail to make that contract, Chae-rin’s position within the SH Group will be in jeopardy?”
“yes.”
“Then my video can’t be produced as a promotional video either.”
“…that’s right.”
Han Min-ah nodded slightly with an apologetic face.
The point was this.
‘My 20 billion…’
Siwoo’s profits of up to 20 billion will disappear.
It’s a time when we need to make money.
It wasn’t very welcome news.
But there wasn’t really anything Siwoo could do.
There was no way Siwoo could get involved in this business aspect.
“But they said there was room for negotiation again.”
“I’ll prepare as much as I can. I’ll prepare as much as I can….”
“Is it hard?”
Han Min-ah reluctantly nodded to Si-woo’s question.
“Maotao Enterprise’s Zhang Wei is not such an easygoing person.”
This time, Siwoo nodded to Han Min-ah’s answer.
Zhang Wei from China.
Even Siwoo knew that name.
“But, since it’s the SH Group’s name, can’t you handle it?”
But SH Group was no exception.
SH Group is a giant corporation that exerts influence beyond Korea and around the world.
Even though Han Chae-rin has no experience.
It wouldn’t be a big problem if you had the SH Group on your back.
“That’s true, but… Actually, there’s another bigger problem. It’s called gwansi… Have you ever heard of it?”
“A little? But I don’t know the details.”
“It’s a unique Chinese culture, but you can think of it as a kind of network.”
Guanxi (关系).
A culture that refers to the close interpersonal relationships unique to the Chinese.
Friendships formed through friendship are almost like family relationships.
but.
“It’s a very exclusive network out there.”
On the contrary, the exclusion of outsiders was very severe.
Heungseon Daewongun who erected the Cheokhwabi.
Even Prince Heungseon Daewongun was at a loss when it came to gwansi culture.
“If we can’t solve the guanxi culture, we can’t even dream of advancing into China.”
Internally, they are more united than anyone else.
On the outside, it was China’s guanxi culture that was exclusive to the world.
“This contract was also the beginning of SH Group’s relationship with Gwansi.”
But that contract was doomed from the start.
When you are united with Gwansi, you become a stronger ally than anyone else.
But it was so hard to become that united.
“I have to do what I can. There’s a negotiation meeting in two days, so I have some time to spare.”
Still, Han Min-ah did not give up.
At that moment, Siwoo wanted to help Han Min-ah by saying something.
smart.
-Sir, I have something urgent to report.
A knock was heard beyond the door of the office.
Han Min-ah tilted her head and spoke toward the door.
“come in.”
Click.
With Han Min-ah’s permission, a man came into the office.
It looked like she was Han Min-ah’s secretary.
“What’s going on?”
“That is….”
The secretary hesitated and trailed off slightly.
But that was only for a moment.
“It is said that Maotao’s Zhang Wei is currently negotiating with Miss Chaelin at the SH Hunter Guild.”
“what?”
Han Min-ah’s eyes opened wide.
* * *
The conference room located in the SH Hunter Guild.
“I think this dungeon raid sharing contract is a unilateral loss for Maotao’s side.”
A deep voice pierced the quiet atmosphere of the conference room.
Maotao Enterprise’s number two, Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei sat there with an indifferent expression.
And the dark-haired beauty sitting opposite Zhang Wei.
“The condition is that we give you 30% of the byproducts from our raids. I don’t think it’s a one-sided loss.”
Han Chae-rin led the conversation in a calm voice.
Their conversation was conducted in Chinese without any interpretation between the two.
“We are reluctant to hand over our Chinese dungeons to hunters from other countries. The process of persuading the Public Security Bureau will not be easy.”
“I heard that there are many dungeons in China that cannot be processed. That is why the brakes are occurring and the loss of life is serious. If you sign a contract with us, you can reduce the damage, so it will not be difficult to convince the Public Security Department.”
Han Chae-rin continued the negotiation without panicking.
He proceeded with the negotiation without losing his pace.
It’s hard to believe that he has no experience in management or business.
Han Chae-rin was surprisingly good at negotiating.
but.
“Hmm….”
Zhang Wei’s reaction was not very good.
“Do you think the SH Hunter Guild has that kind of skill?”
Zhang Wei still just showed an indifferent expression.
Could it be because of Zhang Wei’s appearance?
Han Chae-rin’s personal secretary, Kim Min-jae.
‘I had no intention of negotiating from the beginning.’
Kim Min-jae could tell from the start that this negotiation was impossible.
Originally, negotiation meant a method in which both parties ‘cooperate’ and ‘persuade’ each other to reach a satisfactory agreement.
A conversation style that is literally ‘cooperative’ and ‘persuasive’.
“It’s not a guild that doesn’t have a single S-class hunter.”
This was never the attitude of a negotiator.
“There will be an S-class promotion test soon. My current level is more than enough─.”
“S-class?”
A sudden change occurred in Zhang Wei’s indifferent expression.
And that wasn’t a question.
“You’re saying you didn’t even make it to S-class?”
Just something like that.
Of course, the word ‘just’ could not be added before S-class.
S-class is a level that some people aspire to attain.
But not for Zhang Wei.
“Are you saying that the head of the guild tried to sign a contract with our Maotao when he wasn’t even an S-rank?”
Zhang Wei showed his displeased expression without any filter.
‘In the end… it’s not going to work.’
Kim Min-jae was able to come to a conclusion.
It was an impossible negotiation from the start.
I’m worried that Han Chae-rin will get hurt for no reason.
At that moment, I was having such worries.
widely.
Han Chae-rin placed something on the table.
Smartphone.
A man with an unlucky look appeared on the screen.
‘Lee Ye-jun?’
Korea’s S-class hunter, Lee Ye-jun.
[I can not admit it!]
A loud noise erupted from the smartphone.
Below the video, the title ‘Han Chae-rin vs. Lee Ye-jun’ was written.
‘Why this all of a sudden…?’
Kim Min-jae was suspicious.
Likewise, Zhang Wei also had a questioning expression on his face.
“This is a video of me fighting with Lee Ye-jun, a S-class hunter from Korea.”
Han Chae-rin’s answer continued.
Zhang Wei glanced down at the video.
and.
“Not bad.”
Zhang Wei acknowledged Han Chae-rin’s level in the video.
But his expression was still indifferent.
This video attracted explosive interest and created a huge ripple effect in Korea.
But this only happens in Korea.
In particular, Zhang Wei was the direct disciple of one of the 13 heroes, Yong Weilan.
Even an S-class hunter would only appear to be average to Zhang Wei.
[I can not admit it!]
The video is soon coming to an end.
But as expected, Zhang Wei didn’t show any reaction.
also.
This also meant nothing.
From the beginning, the outcome of this negotiation was already decided─.
Right then.
“……!!!!”
Zhang Wei’s eyes widened in shock.
Clear emotions revealed to Zhang Wei, who had been calm throughout.
[Saaaa …
I could hear the sound of a gentle breeze blowing through my smartphone.
“This, this power…!”
At some point, Zhang Wei suddenly got up from his seat.
Both eyes were wide open in shock.
“How on earth did you get this power…!!”
Zhang Wei’s astonishment was now directed at Han Chae-rin in front of him.
* * *
Director Han Min-ah’s office located in the SH Group building.
“Jang Wei is meeting with Chae Lin? The negotiations were supposed to be held in two days.”
Han Min-ah asked with her eyes wide open.
But that was only for a moment.
“No, no. I’ll tell you the reason on the way. Just have the car ready.”
Han Min-ah suddenly got up from her seat.
Then he put on the coat on the hanger and said to Siwoo.
“I’m sorry. I think I have to go right now.”
“it’s okay.”
Siwoo gestured with his hand, telling her not to worry about it.
Because at first glance, the situation seemed urgent.
I wanted to help in some way, but… .
‘You have to know what to do to help.’
There was nothing Siwoo could do to help with this business aspect.
And right then.
“But I… .”
The secretary seemed embarrassed and slurred her words.
For a moment, I wondered what was going on.
The secretary opened her mouth and looked at Siwoo.
“Jang Wei is here, and wants to meet Meng Shiwu.”
“……?”
Han Min-ah’s head automatically tilted.
It was an expression that made you wonder if you heard it correctly.
The same was true for the secretary.
It was an expression that made you wonder, “Is this right?”
and.
“…It’s me?”
Siwoo was not much different from them.
