How a Calamity Necromancer Retires - How a Calamity Necromancer Retires chapter 92
The key to Internet commerce is awareness.
No matter how good a system is and how many services are provided, it is of no use if there are no customers.
In that respect, Formi was just the right company.
It’s an ambiguous ranking, but it has its own reputation, and at the same time, it is a company that can be purchased at a low price because it is on the verge of stranding in a crisis.
The problem is that, like a start-up, the stake has been split to investors and the stake has been a mess as it has grown so far.
So I paid a lot of money.
If you meet each investor one by one to save money and buy shares, it is certain that there will be people who will definitely try to make a mistake in the process.
And the choice was right.
The representative of Formi said with an exhausted expression.
“This is the written consent received from all investors.”
Equity consignment agreements that the CEO of Formi, who accepted my offer, met with the investors.
However, it took 3 weeks to receive this equity consignment agreement.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“…Honestly, it was difficult. The fact that Seron came forward means that there are many people who are trying to maintain their stake.”
“How did you convince them?”
“If we don’t sell now, we will never be able to sell at this price again. If you refuse, Seron will look for another company. I was persuaded this way. But if I can’t be persuaded, I went in with the investors who agreed and put pressure on me and barely got it.”
okay.
I knew that, and I paid for it.
The representative of Formi said with a smile.
“Anyway, the feeling was new. In the past, I took a stake in Formi and persuaded them to ask for investment money, but this time it was the complete opposite.”
The CEO, who did not mind coaxing to attract investment, now persuaded him to vomit his stake again.
It’s definitely fun.
“Anyway, here’s the share transfer agreement.”
When the representative handed over the consignment agreement, the secretary and legal team accepted and confirmed it.
In the meantime, the CEO looked at me and said.
“By the way, what do you plan to do by taking over Formi?”
“What is it? We need to make it the best Internet commerce company in Korea.”
“Competing with existing players will not be easy. Even companies that have a conglomerate as big as Seron as their parent company are going to die.”
I said with a grin.
“Seron is different from other companies. Don’t we have a skeleton?”
“Skeleton?”
When I told them what I had conceived, the CEO of Formi opened his mouth wide and said.
“that. Is that even possible?”
“it’s possible.”
“If it was that way, the delivery speed would be different.”
“That’s why we decided that there was a possibility and pursued the acquisition of Formi.”
The representative of Formi licked his lips and said.
“…If I had known that such a thing was possible, I would have talked to Saeron a long time ago.”
“Maybe it was useless? Seron only lends skeletons to small and medium-sized companies.”
“It was just something I said because I was sad. ah! And the distribution center?”
“yes. Skeletons should also be placed in the distribution center.”
Logistics centers are also the core of Internet commerce companies.
If the existing Internet commerce companies were a platform that connects sellers and customers, now, after fierce competition, commerce companies directly stack sellers’ goods in a warehouse, and then deliver them immediately when an order comes in.
Thanks to this, the process of getting goods from the seller has disappeared and the delivery time has been drastically shortened by Internet commerce companies.
Instead, the efficient management of the warehouse was one of the key factors in assessing the ability of Internet commerce companies, as goods from numerous sellers had to be piled up and stored in the warehouse.
Of course, since it’s such an important place, we have to put in a skeleton to raise the efficiency to the limit.
“…will the employees be retained?”
I said with a smile.
“Ceron can’t possibly kick out the existing staff. Even if you have a skeleton, you still need human hands. And Formi’s warehouses are too few in number.”
Formie, the 7th in the industry, also jumped on the trend of direct delivery from warehouses and built warehouses in various places, but the number barely covers only a few large cities such as Seoul and Busan.
Of course, I couldn’t build the structure I envisioned with that, so I planned to invest a lot of money and build a lot of warehouses across the country.
“You mean you are expanding the warehouse on a large scale.”
“of course. We will increase the number of warehouses to cover the entirety of Korea. Of course, the warehouse also needs human resources, so the existing employees must be distributed. Maybe even with the staff right now?”
“Then I’m glad. By the way, the cost of building a distribution center is considerable, so how much money are you willing to invest…”
“Indefinitely.”
If I’m going to do it vaguely, I haven’t even started.
The distribution centers and intermediate bases for deploying skeletons are expanded simultaneously in groups across the country.
The representative said with an envious expression.
“If I had such financial power, I could have raised Formie to a higher position.”
“It is still not too late. You can upload it.”
“yes?”
“Anyway, it’s the first time I’ve entered the field, so there aren’t many people who know about it. After the takeover, I want the CEO to take over as president.”
Although he is being weeded out in the market, he is a person who has been running an Internet commerce company for a long time, so he must be good at internal management.
Anyway, everything I do about placing the skeletons is up to me and the research center, so I give the CEO the president’s seat and let him take care of the internal management.
“buy. Are you the boss?”
“yes. President of Seron Group affiliates. Isn’t that a pretty good spot?”
At my words, the representative lowered his head and said.
“thank you. I thought I would just be pushed to the back room like this… But as this is the company I created, I will work hard with a sense of mission!”
“I just had to have that mindset.”
The secretary who was checking the documents then said.
“President. Verification is over.”
“Are you 100 percent right?”
“yes. If we proceed like this, we will acquire 100% of the shares in Formi.”
okay.
I said with a bright smile.
“Then, shall we finish the takeover process?”
After acquiring 100% of the shares in Formi, I met the employees of Formi.
Logistics center employees easily overlooked the fact that they would guarantee employment by expanding the distribution center even if they deployed skeletons, but the problem was the delivery drivers.
Unlike distribution center employees who receive a salary, delivery drivers were general operators contracted with the company by receiving a delivery fee per case.
First of all, I invited delivery drivers and showed them a new delivery method using skeletons.
“In this way, when the truck arrives at the designated location, the skeleton will deliver the goods on its own and then return.”
When I showed the delivery method using the skeleton, the delivery drivers started whispering.
“Then we just have to drive, right? Skeletons do loading and unloading.”
“Is that so?”
First of all, the delivery drivers who respond favorably.
Then a delivery driver said.
“But what about places where delivery volume is not high? To be honest, formi orders aren’t that many.”
That was an accurate point.
Currently, Formi delivers quickly through delivery drivers directly contracted in large cities where the warehouse is located, but other areas are out of capacity, so they are consigned to existing couriers for delivery.
However, thanks to the ambiguous position of being ranked 7th in the industry, there were many areas where orders were not so high even in large cities.
Especially in the case of residential areas, after delivering to 3-4 places, you have to move to another area.
“It’s simple. Then you can do it like a bus driver. Dropping skeletons in one area, then moving directly to the next area and dropping off the next skeleton. Then, the skeleton will go back to the place where it got off after completing the delivery, so just pick up the skeleton again on the same course and you’re done.”
At my words, the delivery driver said with his eyes shining.
“oh! That’s fine.”
The delivery drivers nodded their heads and said.
“Isn’t it nice to not have to carry heavy objects up and down the stairs?”
“therefore.”
At that time, a delivery driver said with a firm expression.
“It’s definitely nice that the shipping burden is reduced, but isn’t it also reducing the shipping cost instead?”
“ah.”
“In addition, since the range covered per person increases, you will need fewer delivery drivers than before.”
okay.
This is the point.
Currently, Formie is paying 800 won per delivery to its delivery drivers.
Of course, if a delivery system using skeletons is introduced, that price will inevitably change.
I nodded and said.
“Of course, as the content of the work itself changes, the cost per case will also change. At 80 won, which is 1/10th. In addition, the working hours are reduced to 8 hours.”
Then the delivery drivers’ eyes widened and said.
“no. I understand that you ship a lot at once, up to 1/10, but you are reducing working hours?”
“I don’t think this is a bit.”
The reason for reducing working hours was simple.
First of all, even if the cost is reduced to 1/10, the money delivered by the delivery drivers will increase.

Most of them are delivered using a 1-ton truck, and if you put them in here, you can easily fit 10 skeletons.
If you mobilize a bigger truck, you will be able to carry more skeletons.
Of course, you won’t be able to load that much, but that’s it, if you make a large-scale intermediate base this time and come and go frequently, the delivery volume will increase.
On top of that, if Formie gradually builds up awareness, the amount of orders will increase as well, and the profitability will get better and better.
By that time, if you worked 8 hours a day, you would be earning more than if you worked 12 hours before that.
Anyway, there is no reason to neglect overwork when the hourly income increases like this.
If you let yourself work too hard just because you want to earn more and die from overwork, it won’t hurt your public image.
If Seron does it, we have to show that it is different.
“You don’t have to worry. According to our calculations, even if you cut it to 1/10 and work only 8 hours, you will earn more than before.”
At my words, most of the delivery drivers looked relieved, but some delivery drivers still objected.
“Rather than that, the problem is that public opinion unilaterally restricts the right to work.”
“hmm?”
“If you want to earn more, you have to let them work more. We’re not even full-time employees.”
“Wasn’t the overwork problem serious due to the manpower shortage?”
“Serious. However, that does not mean that Seron has the right to limit our working hours as sole proprietors!”
“Is it because your earnings will increase?”
“How can you be sure of that without trying? And even if that is true, I can earn a lot more than that if I work 12 hours, and I don’t think I’m taking that opportunity away.”
I thought it was hard because I was overworked, so I was considerate.
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“I admit up to 1 in 10. However, I would like to have free working hours.”
“Then what if an accident happens?”
“Nothing like that.”
What can’t you say?
If that’s the case, you’ll be mad at me if an accident happens.
“It’s not possible. 8 hours unconditionally.”
“…Now, due to the shortage of delivery drivers, all companies are putting their lives on the line to secure delivery drivers. Aren’t you acting too bold?”
“Then you can go to another company. Instead, once you go, there will be no renewal of the contract with Seron.”
The delivery driver flinched at my bluff.
“that. that···”
If you were considerate like this, I would have done everything I would have done.
If you’re not satisfied with this, then you should leave.
“Anyway, I don’t intend to step back from this condition, so judge for yourself. Aren’t they all sole proprietors anyway?”
I said looking at the secretary.
“Take care of the rest yourself.”
“yes. President.”
I left the tidying up and moved to the car with Kim Deok-bae.
“Do not save money on purchasing land. Even though it’s expensive, it’s as convenient as possible for transportation and a good place.”
“All right.”
“ruler. I guess I’m almost done now…”
I said with a bright smile.
“Shall we start delivering skeletons from big cities soon?”
A man who turned on an internet shopping app out of habit because he needed home appliances.
“Missile delivery is also the best.”
From nob le mtl dot com
Missile delivery, which he likes to use, is a service offered by a company that is currently ranked No. 1 in the industry, and it is a service that delivers for free the very next day after ordering for a few thousand won every month.
Thanks to this, he can build even small items without any burden. A man who used to only use missile delivery.
But then, the first commercial I saw on TV came out.
“uh? Righteous people?”
The person in the advertisement is Kwon Ju-min, the leader of Lightning, the strongest team in the Skeleton League.
Kwon Ju-min raised his thumb and said.
-Skeleton delivery faster than Lightning!
Then, the skeletons behind Kwon Ju-min carry the box and scatter in all directions.
At that time, the man who checked the logo on the clothes Kwon Ju-min was wearing said.
“what. Formie?”
Formie’s advertisement, which he once loved, but has fallen in love with missile delivery and no longer even accesses.
Normally, I would have just skipped one advertisement, but when the famous player Jumin Kwon and Skeleton appeared, I became curious.
“Come to think of it, didn’t I say that Seron acquired an Internet commerce company? Was that formi?”
Right then, Kwon Ju-min says.
– We go in half a day! If you order in the morning, it’s delivered to your house in the evening!
“Half a day?”
-Experience innovation with skeleton ships! It’s different when Seron does it!
Finally, the ad ended with the Formi logo coming to mind.
The man who saw the advertisement went into the formi app that he had neglected for a while as if possessed.
Formi app turned on after a brief update.
“Skeleton ships. If you pay 2,000 won a month, the delivery fee for the skeleton delivery is free?”
Up to this point, the service is not much different from missile delivery.
But time is amazing.
“Skeleton delivered in half a day…”
Half-day delivery, ordering in the morning, arriving in the evening, and ordering in the evening, arriving at dawn.
“Is this a combination of missile delivery and overnight delivery? Even faster.”
Then the man’s eyes saw the contents of the event.
“The first 3 months free and a 50,000 won discount coupon? and. Seron took over, so you’re throwing money away?”
If you leave it like this, you are not a rational consumer.
If there is an event that spreads money like this, wouldn’t it be necessary to pull out and eat it even if you change later?
“uh? Is there a raffle event? 1st class car. Second place… Protégé products? Did you pick 50 of them? This must be done unconditionally.”
The man who signed up for free Skeleton Delivery and browsed through the products to find the one he liked.
“The arrival time is also open. It’s 19 o’clock, so it’s 7 o’clock in the evening? I’ll have to see how they ship with skeletons.”
The man, who was spending time leisurely at home after placing an order, suddenly realized that the skeleton delivery had arrived as promised.
The man looked down at the parking lot from the window of his apartment.
“oh! Formida!”
Just then, isn’t Formie’s delivery truck coming into the apartment?
“Couldn’t it be that the truck is being driven by a skeleton?”
However, the truck suddenly stops in the middle of the apartment, not in front of the apartment.
And then the moment the delivery driver gets off and opens the truck door.
“Ouch!”
Skeletons full of crates pop out of the truck.
And the skeletons scattered in all directions.
“That’s what the advertisement said! ah! Is that why you said half-day delivery?”
A method of simultaneously delivering a complex by using a skeleton.
The man who finally understood the principle of half-day delivery said.
“… this must be really comfortable?”
Skeleton delivery is a combination of Omani miscellaneous services offered by existing companies.
“I will only use this for the time being.”
That’s how skeleton delivery began to take root in Korea.
