Franchise God Episode 1581

Chapter 340 African Farming Simulation (4)

It’s the human mind that is different when entering the bathroom and different when coming out.

The President of the Republic of Congo, whose food supply problem was solved so neatly, secretly became greedy for the abundant harvest.

“We haven’t discussed that in detail yet.”

When the Minister of Agriculture responded in a flustered manner, the President subtly revealed his intentions.

“Wouldn’t it be too much of a hassle for the Suyeong Group to worry about domestic distribution? Wouldn’t it be easier if the government bought all of it and released it into the domestic market?”

“It certainly seems that way. There aren’t any employees of the swimming group in Korea right now. It’s impossible for robots that manage farms to also run distribution businesses, right?”

“If the swimming group had intended to handle wholesale and retail distribution themselves, they would have established related businesses a long time ago. If not, wouldn’t they be thinking of leaving domestic distribution to our government?”

“Your Excellency, what you said is correct.”

“Is there still a swimming group executive at the Korean embassy?”

“It’s been a long time since I left the country. I said I had no more work to do in the Republic… …

“Really? But why didn’t you report it?”

“sorry.”

In fact, the president had already been briefed and knew about it, but he deliberately pretended not to know in order to hide his greed as much as possible.

‘If I monopolize the wheat, cassava and corn from the swimming farms, I can further solidify my power.’

It has already been 40 years since I took on the ‘huge responsibility’ of being president.

He was convinced that no one else could bear this heavy burden.

‘If I die one day, this country is finished.’

He must pass the presidency on to his son in a stable manner.

If the Suyeong Farm grain is operated exclusively, power can be consolidated and succession can be carried out without any problems.

Power-hungry wolves who lie flat on their stomachs and just wait for their own death… … .

When it comes to controlling them and keeping a tight rein on them, nothing beats food.

The president finally seemed to understand how France had been looking at him all this time.

‘If I control the people with food, they will not dare to rebel against me. I can safely pass the throne to my son.’

“Minister, you should go to the swimming farm yourself. Politely explain our government’s intentions and proceed with the purchase.”

“All right.”

The president never even entertained the idea of ​​forcibly purchasing.

In the first place, there was no protest against using guard dogs as railgun drones due to the weight difference, so what do you mean by forced purchase?

As the minister also agreed, it seemed that Suyeong Farm had no intention of carrying out wholesale and retail distribution, so he thought it was natural that he should step forward.

* * *

The next day.

The minister came to report with a puzzled expression.

“Your Majesty, I went to the swimming farm and spoke to the robot. He said that I should communicate directly with the home country for business and diplomacy.”

“Directly with the home country?”

“Yes. He said that since he is a robot, he can only follow orders from his home country and has no authority to engage in business or diplomatic activities.”

“this.”

Unfortunately, there is no one from the swimming group.

The only executive left the country immediately after the initial negotiations were concluded.

The president had no choice but to summon the Korean ambassador and explain the situation.

“Um, this is outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.”

“I know that. What I want is for you, Ambassador, to mediate.”

“Of course I should do that.”

As soon as he returned to the embassy, ​​there was an employee hurriedly looking for him.

“Ambassador! This is a direct line from Cheongdam-dong! This is Chairman Ha Su-young!”

“What? Let’s go quickly.”

The ambassador, who arrived at the phone as if sprinting, answered the phone without even catching his breath.

And I was left feeling bewildered after receiving some very strange instructions.

“Huh? Just killing time?”

-Yes. Just keep stalling. Be careful not to displease the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and just say something like I’m busy and things are getting delayed, and that should be enough to drag things out.

‘You never even thought of leaving distribution to the Congolese government from the beginning!’

The ambassador realized.

Ha Su-young said she wants to handle wholesale and retail distribution herself.

-You know why, right?

“I guess you are concerned about corrupt officials embezzling money.”

-If we leave it to the Congolese government, how much of it will fall on the ordinary people? At best, it will be 10%.

“That’s true… … Ah, I guess that’s certainly possible.”

Since the country ranks 131st out of 167 countries in terms of democracy index, Ha Su-young’s prediction could very well come true.

– What I promised the Congolese government from the beginning was that they would no longer be swayed by Europe’s weaponization of food, and that the Congolese people would no longer have to worry about food. I never promised to leave distribution to the Congolese government.

“I understand. But what concerns me is that the Congolese president already has the intention of using food as a weapon to suppress his political opponents and further consolidate his power.”

-I guess it’s because he was originally friendly with France, but now that France has been kicked out, he’s doing the same thing. Isn’t that funny?

It was unlikely, but the ambassador hoped that the Congolese government wasn’t bugging the embassy at this moment.

This country is a country that has been designated as a ‘regional travel restriction’ country by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

– From the beginning, what I wanted was for the French to be kicked out, so that the Congolese people could be freed from the weaponization of food. I had no intention of being friendly with the Congolese dictatorship.

The ambassador thought.

So, they inserted the poison pill clause and deployed the railgun drone without properly explaining it in advance.

‘As expected, all diplomatic words and actions have intentions and reasons.’

-The ambassador just has to pretend not to know and act frustrated, and just waste time.

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, the ambassador sighed.

* * *

Africa surprisingly has a high smartphone penetration rate.

In the Republic of Congo, the figure is nearly 80%.

This may not seem like much from the perspective of Korea, where almost 100% of people under the age of 50 use smartphones, but it is a surprising figure considering that the GDP per capita is more than 17 times that of Korea.

However, it is the poor countries with underdeveloped administrative infrastructure that are most serious about popularizing smartphones.

Since we cannot build many community centers and district offices, we are replacing administrative power with smartphones.

Each African swimming farm has delved into this very point.

-They say that if you install the Freedom app, you can buy food easily and cheaply.

As this rumor spread through the residents living on the outskirts of the swimming farm, even local residents unrelated to the farm downloaded and installed the Freedom app.

However, since it is a free version exclusive to Africa, the AI ​​personal assistant function cannot be utilized.

To use the AI ​​personal assistant feature, you had to subscribe to a monthly fee of 50 euros, which was too much money for most Africans.

There was only one feature available to African free consumers: purchasing food from swimming farms.

“You purchased 1 euro worth of wheat.”

“You would like to have it delivered to your second brother’s house. Please tell me the address.”

|”If you don’t have an address, please tell me the GPS coordinates. Or, you can take your smartphone and visit your brother’s house for a while.”

“For accurate delivery location measurement, we recommend that you visit your brother’s house with a smartphone rather than GPS coordinates. Recognizing the faces and voices of your brother’s family members can help prevent misdelivery accidents.”

As a free version, Freedom only provides services related to food purchasing.

This allows free users who have installed the Freedom App to purchase food.

The online grocery store exclusive to the African continent is only available to residents living in villages near the swimming farm, but the food purchasing function is available to residents of other regions as well.

Cassava, which was a staple food, was the most popular, but cassava was not available in large quantities.

Because of this, residents of other regions mainly tried to purchase wheat and corn, but had difficulty obtaining euros as a means of payment.

“We do not accept Sepah francs. Please prepare Euros.”

“Please show me the cash in Euros in advance. I will collect the payment upon delivery.”

“If you attempt to make a purchase without paying, you will be subject to sanctions. Please use legitimate transactions.”

In villages near the swimming farm, residents were basically issued with a swimming bond Africa account and their salaries were deposited in Euros.

Residents of villages near the farm had no trouble spending most of their money at online grocery stores.

Residents also purchased food with their own accounts and had it delivered to their families, relatives, or friends in their hometown.

Although there were ATMs in the villages near the farms where you could withdraw cash without a fee, the residents did not withdraw cash euros except when they were going to their hometown or the city for a short time.

This led to people in other areas trying to exchange their CFA francs for euros to buy food, which resulted in a euro shortage.

Eventually, the president took action to ban foreigners from exchanging euros.

* * *

“What’s going on!”

The Congolese president banged the table hard and vented his anger, while his aides flinched in fear that they might be shot for no reason.

“Minister of Agriculture, explain what is happening now.”

“The swimming group has started selling grain directly to consumers through an online app. People can buy as much grain as they want for 1 euro, and it is also popular because it is delivered to their homes.”

“Delivery to your home? What kind of talent does the swimming group have?”

“It’s called aerial delivery using drones.”

The president was speechless for a moment, dumbfounded.

He finally came to his senses and questioned her.

“At the headquarters of the swimming group? They must have said that they wanted to purchase it from our government and distribute it directly. What did they say after that?”

“According to the Korean embassy, ​​Marshal Ha Su-yeong is currently unreachable.”

“I’m Korean, so why can’t the Korean government contact me?”

It was an incomprehensible explanation for a president who had reigned as a dictator for 40 years.

The Agriculture Minister explained carefully.

Let me give you an analogy that this dictator president can understand.

“In Korea, Marshal Ha Soo-young has enough power to change the president with a single word. Even the president cannot make contacts carelessly, and must first carefully obtain permission through his subordinates.”

Only then did the President understand.

In Congo, when a man wants to rest without being disturbed, no one can disturb his rest. He must do his best to make sure that his master is not inconvenienced.

Of course I understood it in my head, but my heart still felt dissatisfied.

“No matter what, I haven’t been able to contact you even once until now and I’m still struggling. The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is truly a bunch of incompetent guys.”

“But if it’s a drone, there will be limitations on its travel distance. How can you deliver by air from that remote farm?”

“I’ve heard that the batteries used in drones are very efficient and that solar charging is excellent, so there’s virtually no limit to their range.”

The President and the Secretary of Agriculture realized that they had misjudged from the beginning.

It was not that the Suyeong Group did not establish a separate distribution logistics company in order to leave distribution to the government.

Since direct delivery from the production site was possible, I just stayed still.

‘If only I could control all that grain… …! I could maintain my power more stably!’

The president was so sad he thought he was going crazy.

What really drives people crazy is when something that you thought was yours gets taken out of your hands.
