As they handed over a sign that read, “Damage Recovery Donation” to the representative of the local residents, they smiled brightly. Camera shutter sounds and lights burst from all sides.

After the donation delivery ceremony was over, the representative of the residents grabbed my hand and said something in Japanese.

I’ve heard it so many times so far to say thank you so much for giving me such a huge donation, and now I can guess what it means when I hear a few words.

“It was nothing.”

As we came down after the donation ceremony, a diplomat assigned by the Japanese government approached us and said,

“Thank you for your effort. Chairman Han.”

After blocking the undead army, he did not go to Korea right away, but remained in Japan and digested the request of the Japanese government, so he was assigned a diplomat for easy communication in Japan.

I said looking at such a diplomat.

“Is everything over now?”

“you’re right.”

I responded cooperatively to the Japanese government by meeting with the Prime Minister and interviewing the media.

There is also a sense of atonement for those who have been harmed by me, but the more I cooperate, the more I can draw out the Japanese people’s goodwill and support for me, so I worked more actively.

And finally, with this donation ceremony, all official schedules are over.

“Would you like to go somewhere quiet and talk?”

So now it’s time to get to the main point.

Taking the diplomat with me to a quiet conference room, I looked at the diplomat and said,

“Looks like public sentiment has calmed down a lot.”

Although I prevented it, a major accident that resulted in over a thousand deaths and thousands of injuries, including hundreds of Awoken.

In such a situation, the Japanese government actively used me to settle the angry public sentiment.

Emphasizing that the Japanese government and I are close enough to do seabed mining together, and at the same time, I was able to intervene right away and block it because there was such a trusting relationship.

Only then can a picture be drawn that this situation was prevented thanks to the Japanese government’s negotiating power.

I was in a daze, and suddenly I intervened, so I accidentally blocked it. Isn’t this way better to show the public?

And in order to support the Japanese government’s argument, I met with high-ranking officials such as the prime minister several times to show off my close relationship with the Japanese government.

That way you won’t hear anything else later.

Anyway, now that we’ve finally laid out the base rice, it’s time to move in earnest.

“It was on the news. If I hadn’t intervened, the damage would have been many times greater than it is now.”

“That’s right. If it wasn’t for Chairman Han, there would be no choice but to ask for support from the United States, but Japan would have suffered more damage during that wasted time as it would not be sent right away just because it was requested.”

I nodded and said.

“Then it’s safe to say that the Japanese government owes me money, right?”

At my words, the diplomat glanced at me and said,

“Isn’t it thanks to having a good friend like Chairman Han?”

As expected of a diplomat, when he stabs him directly, he turns around and responds.

But it’s not my business, it’s diplomatic language, I just have to say it.

“There is a saying that the more friends you have, the more accurate the transaction is. In that sense, there is something I would like to ask the Japanese government for. I want to advance Seron’s energy trade into Japan.”

An energy transaction in which people pay money to buy magic power.

It is obviously a good way to improve people’s living standards, but like China’s opposition, this energy transaction had to have different standards depending on the country’s situation.

Underdeveloped countries that have nothing to do with Korea have no reason to oppose it because they are exporting resources that did not exist, but Japan is a country that is closely intertwined with Korea both historically and diplomatically.

Would such a country willingly accept energy transactions that depend only on taxon?

When this energy trade is fully settled, power plants run with energy, and skeletons move, it’s like part of the nation’s base is subordinated to Seron?

Absolutely no way.

As expected, the diplomat said with a puzzled expression.

“You mean energy trading?”

“yes. Korea is almost over, so now I want to go abroad.”

“Then other businesses…”

“Of course we have to advance. ah. Of course, the factory will continue to operate in Korea.”

Every time a partner is brought into Korea, the economic effect is so great that I will share it with Japan.

The key to advancing into Japan is securing energy, opening new markets, and deploying skeletons throughout the world.

Then the diplomat, who understood my words, said with a firm expression.

“…then there are rumors that only skeletons will be brought into Japan, but won’t there be job problems?”

Korea attracts overseas factories to create new jobs and places skeletons in those jobs, but this is literally using skeletons to replace existing jobs in Japan.

But that didn’t mean Japan was at a disadvantage.

“It could be. But Japan is already bringing in foreign workers due to a labor shortage, right?”

Japan is already experiencing the declining population and lethargy of the younger generation before Korea.

Such Japan already had a much higher ratio of overseas workers than Korea due to manpower shortages.

“Isn’t it like bringing in overseas workers or using skeletons? In addition, as you can see in Korea, when energy purchases are introduced, the phenomenon of avoiding difficult and low-income jobs is further accelerated. Then, the skeleton fills that void. In addition, it will create new jobs. So, the actual Japanese people will not have to struggle with job problems. I won’t even look at it like that.”

But a diplomat who can’t relax his expression despite my words.

No matter how much the likeability has increased, I am a foreigner in Japan, and relying on such a foreigner for a lot of things is an enormous burden for the government.

The most obvious thing here is carrots and sticks.

First I swung the whip.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if the Japanese government refuses my request. Then it’s enough to just advance on your own.”

“yes?”

“The reason I asked for it was to further highlight the close relationship with the Japanese government, not because the Japanese government was absolutely necessary. It is not that foreign companies are not legally prohibited from entering the local market. Of course, the government may be able to block energy purchases as a safety issue, but then it will be enough to enter other businesses.”

In a word, no matter how you guys came out, I declared that I would go to my way.

It emphasizes that it is a flow that cannot be stopped anyway.

“Mmm.”

Now that you’ve whipped it, it’s time to hand out the carrots.

“Diplomat. Originally, didn’t Japan sprinkle money to boost the domestic economy? However, if energy purchases are introduced here, wouldn’t the domestic economy be more revived?”

Japan, which has been experiencing economic stagnation in the past, has been called the lost 30 years since the bursting of the bubble.

To counter this, Japan has carried out various projects and scattered money indiscriminately.

To invigorate the domestic economy by injecting money into the market.

However, if energy purchases are introduced at this time and money is distributed to the general public, the effect will be doubled.

It is indeed a policy that is perfect for Japan.

The only problem is that the whole process is in my hands.

anyway.

“In addition, let me suggest this. Gate Defense Treaty.”

“The Gate Defense Treaty?”

“When there is a gate problem that Japan cannot solve on its own, like this case, the Japanese government will intervene unconditionally if the Japanese government requests me.”

Isn’t it the best hand to appease the Japanese who complain of anxiety about the unstable gate?

As expected, the diplomat’s expression changed drastically.

“You mean unconditional intervention?”

“yes. must. you know? Hearing that these days, we need to designate an SSS class separately.”

I single-handedly stopped the monsters that defeated SS-rank 6 and the Awoken group.

Naturally, when the situation came to this, several Awakened organizations suggested that I should be classified separately as an SSS class.

Of course, since only the skeleton’s power was highlighted, not my power, I don’t know if it will really pass, but anyway, most of them acknowledged that I was a strong person who exceeded the existing classification standards.

“Of course, there will be some conditions. If there is a similar situation in Korea, we should prioritize Korea and pay for each request, etc.”

If this happens, Japan is also Japan, but there is nothing bad for me.

If it’s an undead army, it’s like something you have to intervene anyway, and if not, it’s an opportunity to get a pile of powerful corpses that can be recycled, unlike the undead army, which can’t be recycled because all morale and magic are destroyed.

Even taking care of travel expenses.

I said with a smile.

“How is it? Under these conditions, it would be perfect for the Japanese government to save face and appease the people.”

The Japanese government, which accepted my proposal through its diplomats, struggled over and over again.

It’s the best condition to use my armed forces at any time, but instead, Japan’s dependence on Seron and me will rise rapidly.

The Japanese government, after struggling for such a long time, finally made a decision.

To accept the energy sales special zone under conditions determined in consultation with Japan.

“okay. what will you guys do You have to live for now.”

Again, the most important was the Gate Defense Treaty.

From nob le mtl dot com

My unconditional intervention in the position that has already been severely damaged is because the Japanese government can take out the most easily, quickly, and effectively.

At the same time, it’s perfect for reassuring the Japanese people.

After signing a treaty with Japan like that, I finally returned to Korea, and as soon as I left the departure hall, I had no choice but to face reporters pouring in from all directions.

“Chairman Han!! I am a reporter for Daehan Ilbo!! Just one question…”

“Could you tell me why you decided to intervene in a flash!!”

I quickly rose to stardom in Japan and was reported on the news all day, but it was similar in Korea.

For Koreans, who were usually proud of themselves because there were fewer SS-class Awakeners than Japan, the fact that a Korean Awakener alone stopped a group of monsters that the Japanese Awoken couldn’t stop was a good news story to get drunk on.

At that time when reporters flocked to me, Deok-bae Kim and the bodyguards he brought with him came in between the reporters.

“Interview later! Step back for now!”

Deok-bae Kim, who created a wall between the reporters and me with his bodyguards, came up to me and said.

“···President.”

A face that has a lot to say.

I said with an awkward expression.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would last this long.”

“Do you know how much trouble I had to deal with because you suddenly left for Japan without being reported to me?”

Bonama and Kim Deok-bae himself were in a situation where they couldn’t figure out what it was, but they must have been dying to hear calls coming from all directions.

Even in that situation, I had to lead various businesses of the Saeron Group without me.

“Because the matter is so urgent. hahahaha.”

Then, Deokbae Kim sighed and said.

“ha. Could you please tell me in advance next time? Aren’t they suddenly asking me to order a private plane or prepare to enter Japan?”

“I was busy so I couldn’t explain properly. I was called all over the place and I was out of my mind.”

“Anyway, let’s talk about the details as we go.”

From nob le mtl dot com

Me and Deok-Bae Kim, along with the bodyguards, made our way through the reporters and moved to the prepared car.

“What happened to entering Japan?”

“The Japanese government will make an official announcement soon, but I have a gate defense treaty with Japan, right? You, Seron entered New Japan…”

I told Deokbae Kim about what happened in Japan and future plans.

Then, Deokbae Kim, who had been listening for a while, said with an interesting expression.

“It’s finally going abroad. That too properly.”

“Yes.”

“Unlike Korea, which is the world’s third-largest economy and export-oriented, Japan has a huge domestic demand. What an opportunity. Just like that, my crush on the president is at the highest level.”

“Yes? It’s because I’m late to coordinate that.”

“…Still, I would like to ask you to tell me in advance so that we can deal more easily on this side.”

“all right. okay. Anyway, the Japanese government is also cooperative, so let’s start in earnest.”

Time to show off the know-how accumulated over the years.

I said with a bright smile.

“Japan is also showing the skeleton taste and making it impossible to break out.”

Japan entered into full-scale with the Japanese government officially announcing the Gate Defense Treaty.

Of course, in the process, the Korean government was upset, asking why the treaty was not signed together.

So, I calmed down the Korean government moderately and proceeded with a speedy decision by myself.

Anyway, the treaty was officially announced, and another announcement was the special energy purchase zone.

The Japanese government packaged this special zone as a city to which the defense treaty was applied first, and minimized public opposition by tying the energy purchase and defense treaty together.

At the same time, the favorable impression is at its peak, and if it is designated as a special zone, even if there is a gate accident, it will intervene first and foremost.

Anyway, the special zone officially designated by the Japanese government was Fukuoka.

The reason why Fukuoka was designated as a special zone was that it suited the current situation the most in many ways.

It has a suitable population of 1.4 million and is the closest city to Korea, so many Korean tourists visit it, and there is little antipathy toward Korea. At the same time, it was also a smart special zone that actively attracts IT and startups.

Thanks to that, there was little resistance to new technology, so it was perfect.

Anyway, after selecting Fukuoka as a special zone, the first thing introduced was energy purchase and skeleton.

First of all, the way to open the water with energy purchase and fill the gap created by it with a skeleton.

Originally, I thought I would be able to settle down without major problems because Japan has a severe labor shortage, but a problem arose here.

“Is there a lot of rejection? I didn’t expect this.”

Obviously, Fukuoka has relatively little antipathy towards Korea, and they have a high affinity for me, but the problem is the skeleton itself.

Unlike Korea, where the skeletons have been slowly melted over the past few years and suffered great damage from the recent gate incident, Japanese people have never experienced this, so the mere appearance of a skeleton is startling and triggers a game.

In particular, despite their liking for me because of their age, they have an extreme level of antipathy toward skeletons, especially among the elderly, who instinctively have a built-in rejection of Korea.

I said frowning.

“what? Even if a skeleton appears, they report it and refuse to approach it?”

In Korea, unimaginable things are happening.

“This hits the target. Whoa.”

but.

If you think about it, didn’t you try hard to get rid of the antipathy towards skeletons in Korea in the beginning?

Thanks to that, it has become a world where it is very natural for skeletons to walk around in Korea now.

But in Japan, all of that process is skipped.

“I need to reduce my resistance to skeletons. Is there any good way?”

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I can’t come up with a good way.

“Is it a matter that time will solve?”

This fundamental rejection is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

“Or should I localize something?”

How to reduce the reluctance of skeletons through localization suitable for Japan, just as Protige products have bulletproof functions tailored to the local situation in the United States.

“Is Japan a manga paradise? Do you make a cartoon with a skeleton as the main character and spread it? Or animation?”

It seems like a good way to do it, but will this be enough?

Skeletons seen in cartoons and real skeletons are completely different.

“Let’s find another way.”

After thinking about it for a while, I accessed a site that collected information on the Japanese business world.

“Of course, the most certain thing is to look at local companies.”

A successful company in the capitalist market is nothing more than a cross-section of the society.

I checked the companies one by one in the rankings of the Japanese business world.

“bank. stock exchange. Electronic products. Is it similar to Korea?”

Korea is a country that has grown by benchmarking Japan, which was doing well during difficult times.

Perhaps that is why the main businesses of companies in the business world are similar in both Korea and Japan.

“hmm.”

That’s when I checked the company.

Among them, I found a company in an industry that I had never seen before in the Korean business world rankings.

“…a theme park?”

It is the company that operates Tokyo Mouse Land, a franchise of Mouse Land, a famous American theme park.

Of course, nothing strange so far.

Korea also has theme parks, and the scale of the business is considerable.

However, this company is truly top notch.

“The company that runs the theme park is the 10th largest market capitalization in Japan!?”

Only an amusement park operating company boasts a market capitalization of 80 trillion won in Korean money and is ranked 10th in the overall Japanese company rankings.

Even famous Japanese game companies, which everyone knows by name, have a lower market capitalization than theme park operators.

“If 80 percent of sales come from the two theme parks you own, doesn’t that mean that you really achieved the 10th place in market cap by operating only amusement parks? such crazy.”

I just discovered it, so I don’t know what it is, but this one thing is certain.

I don’t know how it is in Korea, but in Japan, theme parks make money.

and at the same time…

“A theme park is a place to play. Wouldn’t this be the perfect way to reduce rejection?”

A skeleton theme park where rides are made using skeletons and skeletons run around in all directions to serve and provide services.

Isn’t this a localization business optimized for Japan?

From nob le mtl dot com

Making money is a business that kills two birds with one stone, as proven by that company that has already ranked 10th in terms of market cap, and can also reduce Japanese people’s resistance to skeletons.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Let’s take a look at this.”
