But hey, why don’t you just use up all the craftsmen who’ve become unemployed by then, Father?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, Ilsung would be in control of the market. At that point, Minwoo wouldn’t even need to put any effort into crafting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He could just slowly export the products as bait goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chairman Kim looked at his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll just take the profit margin left after subtracting the material cost from the equipment I supply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Is that okay? Isn’t that too generous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minwoo was both supplying the equipment and selling it cheaply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the market share of the equipment market would increase, and he would eventually take over the entire market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he was even willing to take an additional fee for each piece of equipment he supplied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the margin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, are we going to inherit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ilsung should also get rid of those who are following behind at this time. We need to raise our world ranking, and we’ll be busy with a lot of things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minwoo…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll also need Ilsung’s help to keep climbing, and there will be a lot of things I’ll need to do. We’ll have to be in this for the long haul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Minwoo, don’t you have any thoughts about the company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really enjoyed hunting. I can’t handle number games. Isn’t Hyungseok, who is studying business, here? Please pass it on to him. Ask my brother to push me a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chairman Kim chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that there had been a lot of fuss about the succession lately, even without this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chairman Kim was the one who was sorry to see him act so cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Business sense, bold action, and even an amazing ability to adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This guy would be great if he took over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chairman Kim smacked his lips as if he was sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Minwoo thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’m never taking over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of taking over the company. He was too busy chasing after foreign markets to get his feet tied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a successor would be a huge pain. It was best to remain a good business partner as he was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s profitable even now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crafting skills ultimately become more proficient with use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if there was a company that would endlessly supply materials?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proficiency?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could keep raising it for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have to worry about sales at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ilsung would take care of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also a chance for the skeletons to level up. The structure was such that they would gain experience points as they used their crafting skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s eat this market up, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can’t eat it after you’ve laid it out like this, I’m not a man. Don’t worry. I’ll flood equipment stores across the country with supplies starting tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was as good as his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them smiled slyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator – Prøks]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader – Prøks]\u003C\u002Fp>",2510,"2026-06-03T14:21:21.107Z","2026-06-03T14:21:26.970Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d6c330af32bed6c757207a38044d250b29e1d15a3f4a89d4ef0f5a3c76517d6","damn-necromancer-chapter-43","damn-necromancer-chapter-41",362,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdamn-necromancer-cover.jpg"]
