Episode 152: The Owner of the Building Above the Creator (1)

“Hey, where the hell did all those people go?”

Heo, who was sitting at a convenience store table and looking out at the Daechi-dong intersection, squeezed a pack of soju and drank it.

OK.

"boss. It's still 3pm. What do you do when guests arrive?”

The part-timer who was standing at the counter sighed and said to Mr. Heo.

It was because even the guests who did not know might turn away when they saw the scene where Mr. Heo was drinking.

But.

“Gun Kim. take a look Do I want to be like this too? I'm bored. I'm bored. Ugh… .”

Mr. Heo complains to a part-timer and just hits his chest with his hand as if it's frustrating.

The situation has been repeating the deficit for several months already.

It was a feeling I couldn't stand without drinking.

So, even as a part-timer who clearly knew Mr. Heo's situation, he could no longer throw a pin at Mr. Heo.

instead.

“Hey, if you’re going to drink soju, eat it while eating some snacks. No, the convenience store owner always says what kind of soju is, kang soju.”

I pay for one chicken leg with my own money and put it in front of Mr. Heo.

Moment.

“Whew… .”

A deep, deep sigh escaped Huh's mouth.

Let's look at the chicken legs the part-timer brought.

‘How did my situation come to this?’

It was because he felt his own plight once again.

It has been a year since he opened a convenience store here in Daechi-dong by collecting all the severance pay and pensions he had accumulated for 30 years, as well as spare funds from his family and relatives.

It was a difficult time for him to stop the accruing interest, let alone borrowing principal.

I felt like I wanted to reduce my part-timer's salary, but... … .

“If you don’t eat something that’s already been heated, you throw it away, so eat some.”

He couldn't cut a part-timer who worked diligently for nearly a year.

actually.

‘There is no difference in the salary of part-timers whether it is a week or a snack… .'

The convenience store part-timer's salary was nothing compared to the interest he had to pay monthly.

Besides.

‘Well, if I stand at the counter, only the customers will leave.’

He sighed and grabbed a chicken leg and ripped it open.

Then the pungent taste of spices drifted over his tongue.

'It's fucking delicious.'

Of course, it wasn't that the game wasn't so good from the beginning.

Even in the early days of convenience store opening.

‘This month’s sales… seven thousand? Hehe, Gangnam-daero is said to have sold over 700 million in this month alone. Should I make quick money here and move to Gangnam?’

Because there was often a profit that matched the commercial district of Daechi-dong, the No. 1 private education district.

‘Huh, back then, I thought I would be able to pay off all my debts and build a building… Inflammation.’

But, as always, misfortune came silently.

'Dear citizens, you are a bitch.'

The large academies collapsed in a sudden, bitter wind. Students and parents who filled Daechi-dong. And the instructors who taught them also disappeared in an instant.

Then, the faces of the merchants in Daechi-dong, who chanted 'Taepyeong Heaven' every day, became full of sympathy, and the hearts of the people in Daechi-dong began to grow stronger.

‘Did the marijuana academy fail?’

‘The director of Cheongsong Academy is also under investigation.’

‘I heard that LSD academy is also staggering… .'

Even so, those who did not give up hope tried to listen to the rumors day by day.

[government. To extend the special investigation period for crimes that are revealed one after another!]

Then you will only hear bad news. It was hard to hear positive news even after washing my ears.

‘Damn, this isn’t going to be over in a month or two. I'm getting out of here!'

Because of this, some of the smartest people cleared the store as quickly as possible and left the Daechi-dong floor.

‘What? Shall I do it sooner too? Or should I hold on a little longer?’

However, people like them who are not in a good situation to leave simply hold on to the unseen hope and persevere day by day, in chaos, destruction, and oblivion.‘Special investigation, that’s all a lie. In just a month or two, it'll be a joke right? And the water owners are thoughtful people, so will they pay all the rent?’

It was just turning a happy cycle.

Of course, those people… … .

‘빌어 처먹을 건물주 새끼들! No, in this kind of situation, does it make sense to get all the usual rent!’

Most of them collapsed after not being able to bear the weight of the rent.

'Rent is the source of money, rent is the price. Inflammation.’

Because of that, now, like Mr. Heo, people who own their own buildings are barely holding their breath.

‘Ehh, then, every day is a deficit.’

However?

A strange sight was caught in the eyes of Mr. Heo, who was taking a deep breath as he drank soju.

until the day before.

[Rapid sale 55 → 5 billion → 4.9 billion!!! Please go buy some!!]

At the entrance of the building in front of the convenience store where only placards were flying.

“Hey, let’s get this done quickly!”

Men in work clothes were gathering.

OK.

'what?'

Heo, who was watching the scene, began to feel a sense of wonder.

"Boss, what's going on with that?"

Surprised by the sudden commotion, a part-timer asked Mr. Heo.

“Well. I don’t know either?”

There was nothing I knew of Mr. Heo.

‘No, what the hell is going on?’

In the end, Mr. Heo, unable to contain his curiosity, opened the convenience store door and walked out to the front of the building.

even.

“Wow… What are you doing here?”

I secretly spoke to the person who seemed to be the work group leader.

Then the head of the work group, who looked at him with puzzled eyes for a moment, smiled and opened his mouth.

“What are you doing? We’re putting up the sign for the building.”

Surprised, Mr. Heo answered in a cautious tone.

“… Could anyone come in here?”

“Did you not know? Did you mean to go to school here?”

In an instant, light returned to Huh's blurry eyes.

‘Is the school coming?’

A petition for unhappiness!

It was the news that the loneliness after 4 months could finally be over.

'It's finally over! at Las!'

However, not all schools are the same.

‘If possible, a popular academy should come in, right?’

As the ripple effect between the well-known and the less well-known academies was vast, popular academies had to enter as much as possible.

Only then will you be able to make the most of the losses of the past few months.

"then… .”

That's when he was going to ask what kind of academy he was going to.

“Let’s do it quickly! After I finish here, I have to go somewhere else!”

The working group leader looked at the workers and shouted.

OK.

“… Do you think a lot of academies are coming in around here today?”

Heo said with a young expression on his head.

The more academies come in, the higher his happiness index will be.

However?

"no. There is only one school that comes in.”

The work leader's words were a little different from what he thought.

‘No, they said we should go somewhere else!’

Seeing Mr. Heo's expression, the working group leader opened his mouth with a relaxed expression.

“There is only one school… It is because there are several buildings.”

Heo's face went blank for a moment after hearing the work group leader's words.

No, it's surprising that we bought the Daechi-dong Academy building... … .

Isn't that one or two?

“Is that true?”

When asked Mr.

“No, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, take a look over there."

The foreman raises his hand and points to the signs on the truck.

on the signboard.

was clearly engraved.

"how is it. Can you believe me now?”

For a moment, Heo's eyes trembled.

'Amazing, Great.'

If such a huge academy came... … .

‘A deficit? I can pay you back in no time!’

He grinned like a madman and started making plans for the future in his head.

‘For now, there is a 20% discount for hermit crab academy students!’

Then he ran to the convenience store and shouted at the part-timer.

“Kim-kun! Give some ice cream to the people out there!”

.

.

.

As soon as the franchise business is on track.

[14,570,440,000 won]

The money raised through hermit crab academy, hermit crab academy, TK channel, publishing, and franchise business was used to aggressively purchase seed money.

As a result.

Former Daema Academy sold 4.5 billion won!

Former Gulag Academy sold 3.7 billion won!

Former LSD Academy sold 4.2 billion won!

Former Zarathustra Academy sold 2 billion won!

.

.

I was able to purchase the building mainly for the big ones except for the small ones.

It seemed that the influence of the Daechi-dong commercial district was largely due to the influence of the special investigation.

‘I didn’t know that this sale would remain at this price.’

Thanks to you, I bought the buildings faster than I expected.

[Hermit Crab Academy Daechi Branch Building 1]

[Hermit Crab Academy Daechi Branch Building 2]

[Hermit Crab Academy Daechi Branch Building 3]

[Hermit Crab Academy Daechi Branch Building 4]

.

.

In the middle of Daechi-dong. I was able to create a hermit crab academy block filled with hermit crab academy at the intersection of the entrance to Eunma Apartment.

Then, before the word of opening was even brought out, news of the expansion of the hermit crab academy spread.

‘I’m waiting for number 134!’

‘I’m number 76!’

‘Hey, number 745… .'

The rush for hospitalization of parents has begun.

How popular was it?'I'm number 4, do you have any thoughts?'

There were people trying to trade waiting numbers secretly.

‘Well, most of it was a scam.’

But there was also the benefit of the rumors spreading quickly.

Thanks to the rumors that spread quickly.

'CEO. I can do it really well!’

‘I will definitely raise the children’s grades, so just trust me once.’

“I will do my best to be loyal to dogs and horses!”

It was because the instructors from the academy that had collapsed due to this incident knocked on the door of the hermit crab academy first.

Of course, good instructors would have been scouted right away. It was a business that remained just because there were many instructors familiar with the system of a large academy.

Re-educating instructors unfamiliar with the academy's system was quite cumbersome and tedious.

However.

'Huh?'

While looking through the documents, I noticed one strange thing.

That's right.

[Hermit Crab Academy Building 5, 1st floor: entrance exam counseling room, equipment storage room, school office… ]

[Hermit Crab Academy Building 5, 2nd floor: large lecture room, small lecture room, seminar room… ]

[Hermit Crab Academy Building 5, 3rd floor: (empty)]

[Hermit Crab Academy Building 5, 4th floor: small lecture room, lounge, reading room… ]

The fact that the three-story building of Hermit Crab Academy Building 5 remains empty.

In the meantime, he had been busy trying to raise funds for the purchase of the academy in Daechi-dong, so he purchased the academy and left it to others to prepare for the opening.

Of course, in the meantime, I was checking the overall framework. He didn't know all the details.

Therefore, whenever I had time like this, I was grasping the information about the expansion of the academy.

‘Hmm… .'

Let's raise our heads and look around. Arin, who was busy with paperwork, caught my eye.

“Arin. Do you have time now?”

when i ask

"Oh! Yes, teacher. What are you doing?”

Arin looked at me with a surprised expression.

She then leaves the paperwork she was processing and comes over to me.

“No, nothing else, the hermit crab academy building 5 looks a bit strange,”

“What?”

“It’s on the third floor here. Why is this place empty?”

I point to the papers and ask.

“Ah, there… that is… .”

Arin's complexion darkened.

Then, she sighed softly and continued her words.

“Actually, only that floor was owned by a different person. In the case of the former academy, it seems that she only rented the floor and used it... This time, she insisted that she could neither rent nor sell… .”

Ah, I did something, and it seemed that there was someone who entered the slack mode with our academy as a target.

“… Huh, so I'm still asking if you're willing to trade every day... I think it will be a little difficult.”

Watching Arin speak with her deep sigh, it seems that this issue is taking up a significant portion of her Arin's dark circles share.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

"it's okay. Then just don’t buy it.”

Then she sees Arin looking at me with her startled face.

"Yes? It’s on the third floor, so if you don’t buy it now, it will be difficult to connect to the fourth floor, right?”

I nodded. Obviously, if one floor in the middle is empty, the space efficiency is lower than using the whole building.

‘So most of them will cry and buy mustard food for a high price’

However.

"it's okay. There are other buildings too, so you can distribute them there.”

If you're buying a lot of buildings at once, like me, it doesn't really matter.

The space we needed was widespread and widespread, so we had to create a space elsewhere.

'It's a little uncomfortable.'

Therefore, there was no need to offer a price higher than the market price by appealing to the owner who did not want to sell it.

I slowly opened her mouth to Arin, who had a worried expression on her face.

"instead. Never answer any calls from over there.”
