Chapter 303 – Volume 61 – Siwoo and Revolutionary Movement (3)
“It’s a really scary thing…”
The girl stared intently at the object called ‘smartphone’ in front of her.
She was in very deep trouble.
It was an item given by the top as a regular benefit, but it was quite dangerous.
Inside, there was a built-in function that allowed you to select and purchase the products handled by the merchant at any time.
So normally, after the top came, I would only buy items from that list…
Things are a little different now.
Attractive products are not only revealed when they reach me.
It just shows everything that is within a transportable distance or that is currently in stock.
As the range of favorite items has expanded at once, the amount of items purchased at the top has increased significantly in recent years.
Even the speed and frequency of bringing items from the top has become faster than before.
Satisfaction with purchase is also high.
It keeps making me make new purchases.
‘The top didn’t give it to me as a gift for nothing.’
It was a kind of advertising expense.
She noticed that her wallet, where she had put her entire salary last time, was empty.
She sighed.
“No, the salary is not increasing. What are you going to do if you increase consumption like this? Come to your senses…”
Of course, I have been satisfied with my life recently.
Even so, it was too dangerous.
For the time being, rather than buying everything you like, it would be better to buy only those that are cost-effective.
“Now that I think about it, I was able to buy comics with this.”
She recalled hearing that it was cheaper to watch comics on a smartphone.
Yeah, I don’t have any money right now.
It would be better to save as much as possible.
“Oh?”
Perhaps because the printing process was omitted, it was much cheaper than purchasing the original book.
And from what I heard before, there weren’t that many types.
She said she only had very famous works.
There are quite a lot of works registered now.
Even her comics that she didn’t buy because she was too expensive.
The majority were registered at low prices.
“For a moment…”
At this price, no matter how small the screen you have to view it.
I think it’s a price worth paying.
No, beyond that, it’s incredibly cheap?
“Okay, let’s buy it.”
So she clicked on her comics as they caught her eye.
I just paid for a lot of comics.
After all the money left in her wallet disappeared…
“Oh, that’s right. Crazy. I should have bought it later.”
Fall in love with cheap and easy purchases.
Before she knew it, she had scraped her purse all the way to the bottom, and was sobbing as she realized her mistake.
The money she had already spent was not returned.

“Have you organized the data?”
“Yes, I just finished it. Well, the computer did all the work. I only reviewed it.”
“It’s definitely faster. It’s also more accurate.”
“Sales have also increased a lot. It seems like the marketing of giving away smartphones is effective, right?”
“Really? What did I say?”
Sang-ju recalled the first time she saw ‘computer’ and ‘smart phone’.
She suddenly approached me and said she had this item and sent me a gift.
She taught us how to use this and that and found ways to increase our sales.
“Recently, smartphones have become popular, so they don’t necessarily give them away and sell them at a discount.”
“Well, it’s a product that we barely make any profit from. Isn’t it true that the more users there are, the more advantageous it is for us?”
“Yes.”
By hiring a wizard faster than anyone else.
Create a top site that can be accessed from this smartphone.
With the most stable system, order delivery service via the Internet has been completed.
At that time, I had a feeling and rushed straight into it.
Looking back now, it was truly a choice that could change the fate of the top.
“It’s definitely going well, but I’m worried it might be too aggressive.”
“You have to do it at a time like this. If you’re late, it will be taken away.”
Until now, as a new and innovative thing, the size of the top has been increased.
Each time, larger tops copy the action.
In the end, the sweetest fruit was often taken away.
‘I can’t do that this time.’
When it is growing rapidly now, it has eaten up all the tops that are not in good condition.
We need to increase our size as much as possible so that we can compete with the top players.
‘Uhm…’
At first, with that idea, they tried to swallow up the small merchant association.
But even so, I didn’t have enough money to do that with my current money.
In the end, it was decided to invest the money earned into increasing the upper transport range and speed.
“No matter what, they only charge a fee and act as an intermediary for merchants. I don’t think it’s the merchant’s job. Will it make money?”
“I said I could do it no matter what. Is there anything I said I could do that wasn’t done other than what was taken away?”
“I guess so.”
The site allows any merchant to register their products.
In other words, it becomes a merchant association where any merchant can come together.
If you do this, the size will increase quickly.
‘In the end, the reason you can take something from a big place is because it has influence that extends far.’
By becoming larger than the preempted level, the size itself is reversed.
However, the Internet has influence all over the world as long as you have a smartphone.
Of course, if you advertise through money, you can catch up.
‘But I’ve already signed up for a lot of the initial advertising.’
Considering the reliability of the industry, it may be possible to continue as a monopoly for a while.
I don’t think we’ll be able to monopolize it forever, though.
You will be able to compete in a similar position to large merchants that you have not dared to challenge until now.
“Hmm, I don’t know. There are some items that are too expensive.
“This will be a little jarring at first. But think about it. It will become normal later.”
If that happens, people who previously supplied goods to us will try to sell the goods directly.
Then, we, the relay merchants, don’t have to follow through with a separate contract.
It’s like they sign a contract.
“So, what we do remains the same?”
“In a way, yes. However, many of the top companies that fail to change here will suffer damage.”
If you can’t increase the transportation speed by using magic power before.
In the end, it was sold one beat slower than the trend and disappeared as it was pushed aside by other top brands.
It will be similar this time too.
“Maybe so… Anyway, if this happens, people will be less likely to buy things outside. There will be a lot of people bringing things to their homes.”
“That’s right. I think it would be nice if you brought me some food later.”
“That’s right. Ahaha, I wonder how lazy people can become.”
“…For a moment.”
“Yes?”
I thought it would be a good idea to bring some food.
It was a thought that occurred to him by chance, but the story gave him goosebumps.
This is definitely a service that some high-end restaurants still offer.
“Hey hey hey.”
“Yes?”
“Do you have anything left at home?”
“Home…?”
“Can I sell it? I had a great idea.”
“No, you have to sell the owner’s house. Why is my house…”
“I already sold it.”
I wondered what kind of idea this was that got the owner of the business so excited.
Quickly coming to her senses, she shook her head and refused.
“Are you crazy? Are you risking your life for me?”
“It’s really amazing? It won’t cost that much money.”
“…Let’s come in.”
“Let’s do the food delivery. We’ll do it instead of the restaurant.”
“Are you seriously crazy?”
Parcel and food delivery are completely different.
Food must be transported as quickly as possible before it spoils.
So it feels like delivery is only possible to nearby houses.
There is no way you can do that at the top.
“Of course we can’t do it with the current system. What are you talking about?”
“No, how do you plan such a detailed delivery system?”
“We can’t do it.”
“Yes?”
“If it is a distance that can be delivered by bicycle, all you have to do is recruit people to deliver it and have them do the work. That’s all.”
And we take a commission in between.
Restaurants receive a commission for showing their restaurant on the site and finding a delivery person.
Those who deliver receive a commission for finding a restaurant to deliver to.
“Are you serious? That’s what happens?”
“Do you know what’s going on with the open source map project right now?”
“Huh? Yes. It’s gotten a lot better now. Thanks to that, we’re also applying it to our delivery system.”
“Smartphones even have a function that checks your current location. Then, it recommends restaurants based on the location. What if you recommend delivery jobs to people who deliver?”
This is only possible in a location close to you.
It is said that it has become sufficiently possible to select the closest ones.
As the goal of smartphones is to eventually become available to everyone who can afford it, the use of this food delivery system will inevitably increase.
“Ah, sir. So you want me to hit the house?”
“Hey, how can you get that much? Think of it as an investment.”
“It’s an idea worth investing in. Hmm…”
Even if you just have an idea, it may be difficult to realize it.
As they are already active in numerous regions.
It wasn’t difficult to research restaurants and advertise there.
Even advertising this feature would be enough to inform people who are already customers.
A very advantageous and inexpensive start was possible.
“This isn’t right. It’s not even my top, but it’s too much.”
“Then, what should we do?”
“Iknow, right…”
“Hey, if that’s the case, should we just have a marchen battle?”
“Huh? Is it this important?”
“So, it’s Marchen Battle.”
She burst out laughing at the absurd words of the merchant.
Then, I asked, what on earth would you bet if Sang Sang-ju loses?
“If I lose, I’ll give you the whole idea.”
“Yes?”
“If I win, you’re investing in me.”
“Wait a minute. There’s something strange about that.”
First of all, the house must be sold unconditionally.
Where is such an unfair game?
“No, you’re going to succeed without fail, so you won’t do it? Instead, if you win, you’ll just eat alone. Isn’t it worth doing?”
“Is it?”
Although she felt like something had caught her.
The sparkling future that Sang Sang-ju was talking about kept flashing before my eyes.
In the end, I accepted the Marchen Battle.
