S Construction (1)

Monday morning.

After a two-day break, I head to work.

Is it Monday blues?

The thought of working myself to death for another five days makes me reluctant to go to work.

“Ughahaha!”

Even my body feels sluggish.

Having reached the 7th Circle and surpassed the realm of humanity, I shouldn’t feel physically tired.

In other words, what’s happening to me now must be a mental burden, not physical fatigue.

“You seem quite listless today.”

“Ugh. What can I do? I’ve got the Monday blues.”

“Wow~! You get the Monday blues? For me, it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday, Friday.”

“That’s just how it is. If you want to climb higher, you have to work harder, right?”

“Ugh. Isn’t it enough already?”

“What are you talking about? I could even make you the chairman, Secretary Lee.”

Lee Seul-gi’s eyes light up.

Quite a few more groups will be in my hands soon.

It would be great if the CEOs were as compliant as the M Group’s, but if not, I’ll need professional managers. Lee Seul-gi is a great talent.

Moreover, Lee Seul-gi has sworn loyalty to me. She’s even under a curse and can’t betray me, so there would be no problem in putting her forward as chairman.

“Sigh. It’s my fate. I have a lunch appointment today.”

“When don’t you have one?”

“It’s with S Group.”

“Today?”

“Yes. The corporate due diligence is done, so now we just need to go and negotiate.”

“That was fast.”

“Whose orders do you think?”

Lee Seul-gi gives me a sly smile.

I’ve been acquiring such large companies that I feel like I’ve lost my sense of M&A [Mergers and Acquisitions].

What should I say?

It feels like taking a break?

I discussed with Lee Seul-gi how to maximize the use of S Construction.

As we were talking, we arrived at the company before we knew it.

The employees were slowly coming to work, and I got out of the car to enter the company.

“Hmm?”

A group of people is blocking my way.

A middle-aged man walked out from among the people in black suits, and he had quite a large build.

He’s not Korean, and just by looking at his face, he looks Russian…

“Nova Chiroski?”

“Oh, I’m grateful that you recognize me.”

“This is a pleasant surprise. I hope you received the gift I sent last time.”

The Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service [SVR – Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki].

It’s recognized as a course that Russian presidents must go through, and it’s similar to the Korean Agency for National Security Planning [predecessor to the National Intelligence Service] that dominated the 80s.

In any case, he was one of Russia’s top leaders.

“Of course, I received it well. That’s partly why I’m here.”

“You’re quite bold, aren’t you?”

I momentarily released my killing intent.

Nova’s eyes wavered, and he bowed.

“Of course, I didn’t come to argue. I came for business, so please calm your anger.”

“Business, huh.”

I could roughly guess what he came for.

If it’s business, it’s probably about the androids.

“Then wait a moment. I have some documents to take care of in the morning.”

“Yes, yes. Of course!”

If someone in Korean politics saw this, they would be shocked.

Aside from the economic level, just looking at the military aspect, it was one of the few great powers that could stand up to the United States.

And the Russian leader is bowing his head?

This could be a controversial issue.

“Secretary Lee, escort him to the reception room.”

“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”

Tock. Tock. Tock. Tock.

I tap my fingers on the desk.

It’s my habit when I’m deep in thought.

Bang!

The door opens and Lee Seul-gi enters.

She must have finished the escort.

“You’ve sent a big shot from Russia?”

“He was kidnapped and imprisoned until recently, but he flew to Korea to negotiate. He’s quite a person.”

“It must be because of the androids, right?”

“Probably?”

They have already experienced the greatness of the androids.

If they’ve experienced that, they must have come to buy androids today.

Russia had already contracted for a significant number of androids. Are they trying to buy more here?

“It seems they want to buy additional androids with upgraded performance.”

“I guess so?”

“Since we have to sell them in large quantities, you need to set the price and performance.”

“Price and performance, huh.”

No matter how armed they are with androids, they must not be able to stand against me.

I recently reached the 7th Circle, and I had to adjust the level of the dummies. If I gave them as they were, the whole world could be plunged into war.

That’s not what I wanted.

“We should set the performance of general androids to 5%, and combat androids to 10%.”

“Huh? Can we satisfy them with that?”

“Even so, it will be more than twice the performance of the androids they contracted for before.”

“Ah, that’s right. You said you reached the Supreme Realm. I don’t know exactly what that is, though.”

“You’ll learn in the future, right? Then you’ll know.”

“Yes!”

Her eyes are burning.

Lee Seul-gi is trying to learn black magic by any means possible.

She thinks that if she tries, she can reach the Supreme Realm too. It looks like it will take a long time in my opinion.

“How much will you charge?”

“2 million dollars for the standard model, and 20 million dollars for the combat model.”

“The performance is twice as good, but the price is ten times higher?”

“Usually, when the word ‘military’ is attached, the price skyrockets. It’s just a little more enhanced performance, so there’s no problem.”

“You’ll be able to rake in the money.”

“That’s my specialty, isn’t it?”

We looked at each other and laughed like villains.

If Russia buys more, neighboring countries and the United States will not stand still. Not only the opposing camp but also allied countries will want to buy more.

I can rip off a huge amount of money once again.

“Well, let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Now that the price and performance have been decided, all that’s left is to sell them.

I face Director Nova.

He had a friendly smile, but his eyes were cold.

Being the director of intelligence is not something a person should do.

Not long ago, Director Nova was kidnapped. Not only that, but their president and ministers were also kidnapped at the same time.

If you can still smile after that, it’s really amazing.

Most people wouldn’t even come here in person.

“I’m sorry. I had some important documents to take care of.”

“Oh, what are you talking about? It’s my fault for coming without an appointment.”

“Do you even know that?”

“Hahaha! But what can I do? I thought you wouldn’t accept an appointment if I just made one, so I came like this.”

It’s truly a terrible relationship.

Russia, coveting the android technology, sent spies, and in retaliation, Russia’s key figures were kidnapped. And the intelligence agency tried to kidnap Sujeong, but they were defeated instead, and eventually, even the director of intelligence was kidnapped.

In the end, my overwhelming victory.

Anyway, since they started it, their judgment that I wouldn’t accept an appointment if they just made one was very reasonable.

Of course, that’s what they think.

“I am a businessman. To make money, I can even make a deal with the devil.”

“That’s a really great belief.”

After some conversation, we get to the point.

“I would like to purchase additional androids.”

“How many?”

“Are there separate military androids?”

“General and military versions have been improved and manufactured.”

“I knew it!”

“The performance will be more than twice as good as before.”

Nova’s eyes light up.

The world now has a seemingly peaceful appearance, but the inside is not at all.

Those who want to seize power, those who don’t want to let go of power.

Human selfishness always creates conflict. And I just need to get involved in such conflicts and take small profits.

“The standard model is 2 million dollars, and the military model is 20 million dollars. The performance is about twice as different.”

“Hmm. Even so, a price of 10 times for twice the performance.”

“It’s a weapon.”

“……”

He couldn’t say anything.

In the field of military weapons, twice the performance can result in a price difference of dozens of times. Nova, who handles information, couldn’t possibly know that.

However, he must feel that it’s a bit of a loss.

It may be a bit expensive.

But I’m not in a hurry.

“You don’t have to buy it if you don’t want to. There are plenty of buyers. Like the United States?”

“Ugh!”

He groaned.

Bringing up a rival country, he has no choice but to open his wallet.

“Then I will purchase 10,000 units per year for 3 years.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“Shall we draw up a contract?”

At my gesture, Lee Seul-gi brought the contract.

A contract of 200 billion dollars a year.

It’s truly an enormous amount of money. At this level, the national economy would be shaken, but Russia is trying to purchase a huge amount of strategic weapons.

I had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that they are buying all military versions, it seems like they are planning to start another war somewhere.

Russia’s goal is to merge all the former Soviet countries. And the United States is trying to stop it by any means possible.

In that case, the purchase of androids is essential.

“The regenerative power has also been improved, so you won’t regret it.”

“Then I look forward to working with you.”

“I’ll deliver it tomorrow.”

“To, tomorrow?”

“We were already mass-producing them.”

“Tha, that’s fast.”

“I was planning to hand them over as soon as the buyer was decided.”

Of course, it’s a lie.

About 10% of the performance of the general undead that I create is enough in a day. I could stamp out about 10,000 tonight.

Now I don’t need magic stones to make dummies.

I can charge magic power into ordinary stones that I can see. Of course, steel is more efficient than stones, so I plan to charge mana into steel and manufacture them.

The contract was successfully concluded, and Russia deposited 10% of the contract amount.

It’s a whopping 20 billion dollars.

Nevertheless, I didn’t feel anything special.

‘I’m gradually becoming insensitive to money.’

Maybe it’s because my goal isn’t Earth.

I have a firm goal of doing dimensional trade, so I may not be very impressed with business on Earth.

Since he was a major customer, I escorted him to the front of the company.

“Then I’ll see you next time.”

“I hope to see you again in a business relationship. I don’t want to start another job [referring to the kidnapping].”

“I will keep that in mind.”

I saw his eyes wavering slightly.

This level of intimidation should be enough.

As Nova disappeared, Lee Seul-gi clicked her tongue.

“If this is 10% this time, does that mean it will be improved soon?”

“About 15%?”

“And the price will go up?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Wow, you’ve really caught a sucker.”

“Isn’t the whole world a sucker to us?”

Lee Seul-gi and I looked at each other and laughed evilly.
