Success Story of a Master Level Mercenary Chaebol

353: Take control and see again (3)

“Yoshi! It’s a good brushkomi (a course where beads are easy to enter).”

Suzuto (凉斗) is a pachinko fanatic from Shimonoseki. It was a coincidence that a poster for a free cruise to Korea and a pachinko hall on board came into his eyes after enjoying the game all day at his regular pachinko.

With the pride of being a ‘pachinko pro’, the challenge of attacking pachinko in an unfamiliar foreign country arose out of nowhere. The fact that the machine shown in the poster is 1/399.6 of a machine that disappeared a few years ago also ignited his decision.

Suzuto’s challenge that began like that turned into happiness from the moment he got on the cruise. The gambling halls in the cruise were all old-fashioned pachinko machines that brought back memories of him.

Of course, Cruz’s machine didn’t pour out real marbles. These were the latest machines that poured marbles in the video when you insert a 10,000-yen card next to the big screen.

I couldn’t feel the unique taste like in the past, but I was able to quickly get into the game without much difficulty due to the familiar method.

You can adjust the firing speed of the marble by placing your hand on the handle on the right side of the screen and turning it. And if you set the optimal angle to pick up the marble and fire the marble…

Follow me, follow me! Excellent water!

When you win, a lot of marbles pour out and fill the plate at the bottom of the screen. When the plate is full, operating the lever to move the pachinko balls to the dollar box is the same as the Japanese pachinko machine.

The only difference is that in pachinko shops, the staff is called to exchange dollar boxes, but here the coin card is credited with that amount.

“It tastes very good. It really reminds me of the old days. haha!”

His mood rose as much as the beads piled up. I was engrossed in the game while forgetting that this place was on a boat, so I became hungry all of a sudden.

“How do I exchange prizes here?”

At pachinko parlors in Japan, marbles were counted at the exchange machine and received as a receipt. Then they used the receipts to buy prizes or went out of the game room to exchange for cash.

But he couldn’t ask anyone any questions. He wouldn’t go in and out for pachinko every day if he had that kind of sociability.

“You can eat at Konbini over there.”

“ah! thank you.”

Now I’m terrified What courage did you have to get on a ship going to Korea?

Perhaps he noticed his situation, the man who was bouncing beads hard next to him gave a sneak peek. He was a middle-aged man who had gone out to the dock several times to smoke a cigarette because it was smoking indoors.

“Five! Is this Korean konbini?”

People like him were scattered throughout the spacious convenience store. It was a very unfriendly convenience store with no Japanese instructions, but I managed to pick up an item and pay with coins right away.

“Sir, this kapemen (cup noodles) is quite spicy.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Fortunately, there was a male employee who could speak Japanese at the cashier, so I was able to get information about Korean instant foods.

well water! Hororok!

Sitting in a corner seat of a convenience store, he paid for his meal with the coins he had earned so far. This convenience store was the only thing to eat on board.

“This is surprisingly good.”

The environment where I could focus on pachinko on the ship was not bad. The machine was also old-fashioned, so it was easy to pick beads.

And sometimes the sight of young women out the window made his dead heart race. My heart was magnified at the scenery I could never see in a Japanese pachinko stadium, which was scorched with cigarette smoke.

“great! Shall we run again with full power?”

“Hey, guest! If you eat cup noodles, you must separate the soup and put it in the trash.”

“oh! Sumimasen.”

His heart, which had been magnified, quickly shrank at the words of the convenience store employee. At the same time, Korean convenience stores were very unfriendly, and only internally cursed them.

His appearance was the same even after he arrived in Korea. The only thing that changed was the increased taste thanks to the thicker coins and the food court of the Pharaoh Casino.

“I just received guests from Hong Kong.”

“How many?”

“It is also full. We came with 1,500 people full.”

Ahn was excited and reported to Cheol-woo by phone. Excluding young Japanese women who came for sightseeing, more than half remained at the casinos and concentrated on gambling.

The casino’s performance soared as they increased their enthusiasm for gambling. And maybe because of the rather thick pockets, it was getting worse and worse.

The rate of moving free accommodations such as gosiwon to paid accommodations has been increasing. As a result, the hotel’s sales soared.

“Now I think I understand why they run a gambling house. It feels like swimming completely on the ground. haha!”

“What are you doing swimming on the ground? useless…”

Easy money goes out that easily. Just by making and operating the treadmill, he was able to earn huge profits.

Besides, this time the Chinese also joined. As if two races who were crazy about gambling were competing against each other, they held and placed bets on different game machines.

“Even if you just breathe, the money will roll in. On the surface, this seems to be just a distribution, but it is a business that leaves a lot of money even if you pay for just one day. Huh!”

Excited manager Ahn couldn’t control his excitement even with Cheol-woo’s pinch. Looking at the sales before Cheolwoo took over, the hotel had only about 100 customers per day.

But now, there were two thousand people staying at the hotel. Although half of them are free guests, the more crowded the casino, the higher the hotel’s sales.

“Chief Kwak?”

“I am running around to find the food I need. I ate several times more than I expected, so I ran out of ingredients in an instant. So I went out to supply supplies in the neighborhood as soon as possible.”

“You’re ready to go, didn’t you?”

“Anyway, we prepared twice as much as we expected. But I didn’t know you could eat that much. Everyone goes around the food court in a clockwise direction to see if it suits their taste. haha!”

It was an achievement that exceeded everyone’s expectations. Of course, Cheol-woo was not very interested in the hotel’s success.

“What is the rate of converting coins into cash?”

“It’s not particularly high. That’s an average of 1.5% per day. Most of the young people are exchanging won for domestic tourism.”

“Hmm! That’s not bad enough.”

“What else is there?”

“Even if you tell me, you won’t understand now. You will find out naturally later.”

If it’s Cheolwoo, then that’s it. In my mind, I was like, ‘Is this going to happen?’ Even the casino I wanted was a jackpot. Now, even if Cheol-woo made meju with red beans, it was Manager Ahn who was ready to believe like a stone.

“So, are there any difficulties?”

“…that is, in fact, Director Yang keeps coming to the office and disturbing me…”

“Why is that yangban again…?”

“I think he was very upset because he bullied himself and all the executives went to play.”

“Are you making so much noise that you can’t stand it?”

“Everyone is very nervous because of their work, but they keep stabbing people in the side, which is very difficult.”

It seems like he was arguing with the people below him for quite some time. There was a lot of annoyance in the tone of Ahn’s way of answering.

‘Looking at it, I can see that. If you do not receive camp education alone, you may be bullied for the rest of your life.’

Come to think of it, there was a lack of consideration for both directors. The more difficult it is, the stronger the relationship will be when we go through it together.

“okay. Mr. Yang, I will take care of solving the problem on my own.”

“For the time being, focus on casino and hotel business. I know that because when things are stable to a certain degree, we will hire more people and form a dedicated team.”

“Yep! I’ll do my best.”

It was nice to hear a voice full of enthusiasm. Much more than the old people who only say that they are dying here…

Director Yang’s cell phone vibrated exceptionally loud today. Director Yang, who was sitting in another man’s office and chewing on the managers who ran away, raised his eyes when he saw the message with an annoyed gaze.

「We invite you to the workshop of Kangho Group executives. As soon as you receive the message, please visit us at the address below.

Yongyu-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon ■■■-■■.」

“Aww! Then yes. If only they had a good experience with me, would they use it? Huh!”

Did I say Gamcheon is intelligent? After diligently craving for the lower ones without discrimination, I finally got a bite from the executives.

The intention was to check with my own eyes how much he was smoking, excluding him who dared to be in power.

“Hey, Deputy Park! I’m going to the executive workshop, so if anyone finds it, let them know.”

Upon hearing the words of Director Yang, the faces of the employees in the office became brighter. The news was that the king mosquito, who used to catch pods and dry people’s blood for nothing, was finally flying to another house.

“This is because I am also an executive! I’ll just watch how well my bastards play with me. Huh!”

Director Yang, who left the seat, looked forward to it. He was a member of the executive team that everyone except himself was talking about.

I began to get excited at the thought that I might receive high-quality hospitality that I had only heard of in words.

“What is that?”

“This is the Tsar Coin price list.”

Today, Suzuto, who had breakfast at the convenience store, burned his soul in front of the pachinko machine. Then, when the flames were extinguished, they took a break in their assigned free lodgings, enjoying these gamblers’ paradise on earth.

As he went out again, he found a billboard on the wall while he was going to try Korean convenience store dishes. It was a huge size that filled half the wall, but I never knew there was such a thing.

Suddenly curious, he asked an employee who was looking around the store. There were separate explanations in Japanese, English, and Chinese on the electronic signboard, but it was hard to believe the contents.

“Hey, is this coin really changing the price? So, is it true that the coin I picked up has skyrocketed to double the price?”

“That’s right, sir! It will probably continue to rise in the future. If you win coins through the game, you will get several times more profit.”

“Nonsense! In this way, there is no one in the world who would not gamble here…”

“It made sense. As much as the customers play hard, the coin mining work is done.”

“Are you saying that my game is to mine these Tsar coins? Just like that B-Coin…?”

I never thought there was such a way. The 1/399.6 machine he was led was also highly speculative, so the Japanese government didn’t ban it by law at all?

‘But the coin price automatically rises there, like a non-coin…?’

There was also a cryptocurrency boom in Japan for a while. There was no suitable investment destination for negative interest rates, so people had no choice but to turn to speculative products.

However, it was also highly speculative, and the government cleverly blocked the way for ordinary people to invest. Under the pretext of disciplining foolish people from falling into speculation…

“Now is not the time to be like this. Hopefully, it’s not a boring game like this, but an investment that can really get you down the road!”

When I thought of that, my exhausted body revitalized and even hunger disappeared. It was an opportunity to achieve the coin jackpot that he only saw in the news with his good pachinko.

But he couldn’t play the game easily. He had already filled all the seats with people who knew the coin information.

Fortunately, I was able to exchange for Tsar coins directly at an ATM machine linked to a Japanese bank. He pulled out all the money from his bank account and ran to the money exchange machine.

However, there were already long lines of Japanese and Chinese waiting for their turn.
