I Woke Up as the Villain

to refuse for the DRD company that developed the Goblin leather processing method.

After that, everything happened in a whirlwind.
Since the technology was being supplied, the Comet Group could dominate the market by providing raw materials and accelerating production.
Every product that was made of leather—such as cell phone cases, wallets, watch straps, bags, etc.—transformed to become a new product made of Goblin leather.
The Comet Group announced such products with a massive promotion saying that it was the ‘world ’s first’.

For modern people of the present era, the material itself called monster leather was often recognized as a special kind of material.
Moreover, the Comet Group brought in processed Goblin leather and turned it into a beautiful emerald-colored form, so someone even called this technology a ‘modern leather gemology’.

The price was also cheap and the functionality was excellent.
Thus, products made of Goblin leather were extremely popular at the beginning of their release, had very high sales, and were still having steady sales even until now.

But how about the Rothschild and Rockefeller family which everyone was worried about?

‘Before even writing the contract, they were already buttered up.’

It was interesting to note that the Comet Group was one of Korea’s best companies, but from the perspective of those two families, it was only one of the large companies in a medium-sized country.

The suggestion that Woo-Jae offered was that it would be better for them to take the initiative than to let the opponent monopolize the new technology.
Of course, quite a lot of money was given to the main figure of each family to persuade them.
It was a tug of war with calculated risks, and the eventual profits were close to several tens of times the money they invested at the time.

It was reasonable for the Cheon-Ji Group to become nervous after the Comet Group actively moved to pave a new foundation and create a way to grow, instead of staying still and watching the situation together.

‘Well, I understand that he’s scared of me.
Since I might threaten his company anytime. ’ 

Woo-Jae could easily guess why the Cheon-Ji Group’s chairman had called him.

‘He’s anxious about the guild business that my second daughter is doing.
Hehe.’

Unlike other businesses, the Comet Group had been quiet and rather conservative in the guild business that was often considered the most important for future investment.
However, they had begun to actively move forward with the family’s second daughter, whose face was not even well known.

There were hurdles that stopped them here and there, but as they had a lot of money and were very determined, the guild business grew faster than Yoo Chul-Min had thought.
As the chairman of Cheon-Ji Group, he felt nervous and anxious.
He had a feeling that the Comet Group would soon catch up with them.

In fact, everyone who ran a company would feel the same.
The more they had, the more anxiety they had, so they were understandably more sensitive about the other companies in similar industries.

Therefore, in fact, Yoo Chul-Min wanted to stop further growth before the guild business could even sprout.
However, he failed to prune Choi Woo-Jae’s businesses.
Perhaps the fact that he had failed to kill Choi Woo-Jae at the only opportunity 13 years ago would still make his heart sting.

”Oh, thanks to that incident, I was full even though I didn ’t eat rice for a while.
It ’s all thanks to people like you who supported me from afar.”

It was useless for Woo-Jae to argue with a narrow-minded person.
They would be upset anyways.

– Haha…

Yoo Chul-Min tried hard to smile and continued to speak.

– Anyway, I heard you started a guild business recently.

This had been the main point of the call from the beginning.
Choi Woo-Jae decided to put out a feeler instead of returning biting words.
He asked, ”Yes.
Well, it may be too late, but shouldn ’t I take a step at least now? ”

– I don ’t really like going around the bush, so let me talk directly.
Chairman Choi, I ’m a little worried that a young fellow is being too greedy.
If you eat too much alone, you might get sick, right?

Choi Woo-Jae grinned.
”I don ’t know what you think, but Chairman Yoo, I ’m too old to be called young now.
I ’m trying to be more greedy, that’s all.
But…are you afraid or something?”

There was a brief silence over the phone.

– Hahaha…!

There was a loud laugh, one that was twice as loud as the earlier chuckle.
In Choi Woo-Jae ’s ear, the laughter sounded like a herbivore anxiously raising its voice upon seeing a beast.

– It wouldn ’t be good to fight each other and get hurt.
Let me offer a suggestion, Chairman Choi.

”I agree that it ’s better to not get hurt.
Do you have any insight? ” asked Woo-Jae.

As mentioned, Choi Woo-Jae ’s goal was not just the Cheon-Ji Group.
Was he aiming to be the number one in Korea? In fact, if he wanted to achieve it, he could have already achieved it a few years ago.
However, the reason why he kept waiting patiently was because…

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

‘My business should be overwhelmingly powerful.
So that no one can dare look over it.’ 

To expand hastily and clumsily would only be a burden in the end.
However, if Woo-Jae hit it hard, the burden wouldn’t keep up with his speed and would eventually fall off on its own.

‘That’s when the number one place could be discussed.’ 

It may be said that Woo-Jae was now old, but he was still ambitious and determined.
Therefore, it was a welcoming thing to minimize the damage to each other.

– War doesn ’t necessarily have to be an all-out one.
Let ’s make a bet so that we don’t have to bother those high-ranking officials.

”A bet? ”

– You could view it as a game of Go.
I don ’t know if you’re aware, but I have a grandson.

Choi Woo-Jae instantly had a thought flashing through his mind.
