Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 197
65. Rebound (2)
Joseon’s first defeat in the main tournament.
When things aren’t going well, there are a lot of people who tease you like that.
When I actually lost, the regeneration speed was reduced to an absurd level.
[It’s legendary that the bulletin board suddenly became clean]
[What, were you dark nationalists? LOL]
[It’s so funny how I have nothing to say once I actually lose, ㅅㅂㅋㅋ]
Did those who made fun of Joseon actually want Joseon to win?
“You can never know a true community no matter how much you look at it. You can never know.”
Joohyuk clicked his tongue and pushed the window aside.
“ha.”
I let out a sigh and lean back in my chair.
In fact, the one who was more worried than the community users was Joohyuk.
“What can I do? I’ll have to make it to the quarterfinals to break even.”
It was a story about cheering tools.
This is my first time doing this kind of manufacturing and selling business, so I didn’t know. Even if it sells well, there’s no profit left.
Especially in the case of the round of 32 and the round of 16, there were not many offline Korean spectators, so the total amount that could be sold was initially limited.
This means that the pie itself was small.
“I didn’t really have any expectations of making it to the finals… … so I didn’t even reserve tickets.”
When other people’s expectations are low, I buy.
In terms of stocks, Joohyuk thought of this as a ‘buy at a low price’, and it was certainly correct in theory.
It was different in real life. Since the expectations themselves were too low, even if the actual value of the ‘national team advancement variable’ increased, it ended up being a ‘post-reflection.’
Joohyuk had to hold out until their real value was reflected in people’s purchases.
The minimum period is a whopping 8 rounds.
[Please let’s just go to the quarterfinals ㅠㅠ]
[If you go to the quarterfinals, you’ll really get a sense of intuition ㅂㄷㅂㄷ]
[Already waiting for ticketing lol]
[A cheering squad has also been created ㅋㅋㅋ It will be fun]
Looking at public sentiment now, the quarterfinals were a period of explosive growth where all expectations that had not been reflected until now were reflected at once.
If we could just get this far, ‘Mixed Nuts’ would be off to a good start as a business.
This is what is called a rebound.
‘If we can’t sell goods properly here… … .’
What if we don’t make it to the quarterfinals and offline sales on the day are canceled?
It’s a plunge, not a rebound.
“eww.”
Joohyuk shook his head as if he didn’t even want to imagine it.
When he first made the plans, he didn’t imagine this part.
Even if they don’t make it to the quarterfinals, they thought they just had to sell goods up to the round of 16.
You have forgotten about cash flow. This refers to the order or flow of money coming in.
Making cheering tools and selling them offline was a very backward business model in terms of cash flow.
This is a method where money is paid in advance to the factory and then received from customers when the goods are sold.
This time difference causes big problems.
“You have to pre-order the quarterfinals goods so they are ready.”
To handle the overwhelming demand from the crowds that will flock to the quarterfinals, advance orders must be placed.
That is, it must be paid in advance.
As a result, Joo-hyuk has already entrusted the quarterfinal goods to the factory.
The money has already been spent.
There was a saying that came to mind at times like this.
“The simpler the sales structure, the greater the profit and the fewer variables. That’s the online market.”
This is what I heard when I got in my father’s car. It was a time when everything in the era was moving online.
Yes, if Joo-hyuk had focused on the online market, he would have seen less deficits.
Because I could slowly make and sell Almond and national team merchandise one by one.
There was no reason to make it in advance, let alone display it and sell it.
If it falls, you can make another reservation, and if it falls, you can make another reservation, and so on.
But there is a problem.
First, unlike back then, online platforms were increasingly making huge profits.
More than 50% of the goods sold at Disworld are commissions.
Second─
‘It’s a cheering tool. Of course it should be sold at the stadium.’
It is a tool for cheering.
I had to sell it in a place where I could cheer. There is a designated space where each item can be sold.
“But the competition is fierce online. You might not be able to sell anything. So you have to make a good decision. Are you listening to where your product is competitive?”
“Honey, just concentrate on driving.”
I pretended to sleep, but I was listening.
That’s why Joo-hyuk made his decision.
The easiest item for him to sell right now is a cheering tool, and when you consider commissions and everything, where is the market with the strongest competitiveness for this cheering tool?
This is right at the stadium entrance.

Expected demand is high and there are no costs other than the cost of renting a stand.
Offline is inevitable.
Of course, this is assuming that we advance to the quarterfinals.
“ha.”
widely.
In the end, all he could do was put his hands together and pray.
It’s literally a matter of heaven.
“Cuber in heaven… … no, Father. Please let me get some cookies.”
He was completely unaware that this was a vain prayer from the start.
“……ah.”
The third game is almost ready, but there is no sign of any changes to the roster.
In the end, what he could do was determined.
widely!
We clasp our hands together more strongly and pray more strongly.
“Not in heaven, just Father! Please let me win! I’ll go home!”
However, the target seems a little different.
“No, I’m not going home! Just let me win!”
It was a desperate prayer that aimed for a rebound.
“Father! Tell me the answer!”
* * *
“Then tell me.”
On the way to the waiting room.
Love closed his eyes for a moment and thought about it.
“Should I leave the team? Is that what you want? How am I going to get you to sign with me again!?”
‘No. There’s no such thing. You do it yourself.’
“Why on earth… why are you leaving?”
‘I’ll stop here.’
“Retirement? Does that make sense? You’re in your prime right now? You’re not happy with me, right!? That’s why you’re deliberately resisting the contract right now, right? Right?!
‘Ha. If you’re so insecure about yourself, then get out of the team. That’s right. I heard that ranged dealers don’t have long lives anyway. Even now, you should get paid a lot of money and move.’
“… … You damn brat. You don’t care about the team. Ever since.”
Kuung!
The door to the players’ waiting room opened.
At that moment, all the old afterimages disappeared, and instead of the four comrades, 200 players appeared in front of me.
“… … .”
She gestured that she would go alone, then maneuvered her wheelchair up to the stage where all the players could see her.
Jiiing… … .
If you enter slowly, no one will say a word for a long time.
From her wheelchair, finally on stage, she looked down at the players.
No, I couldn’t look down. I was sitting down, so only then was my eye level aligned.
Four hundred eyes looked at her from the same position.
That alone made my heart pound with pressure.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen solid.
If I shout in a place like this, will the sound come out?
But her voice broke through the tight, solid layer of air.
“It seems like everyone is waiting for Cookie to come back.”
A voice that was not very loud clearly reached 400 ears.
The players who thought he was going to give feedback had their faces frozen at the unexpected words.
“Cookies can’t come.”
Continued silence.
An air of defeat punctuated by silence.
She clenched her fist─
“therefore!”
──Bam!
He said, hitting the side of the stage.
“!?”
This time everyone flinched in surprise.
The voice of love grew louder.
“You guys are going with me for this game. And if you lose? You’re going home with me. You don’t have a choice.”
Everyone seemed surprised at his sudden raising of his voice.
“I wasn’t originally on this team, and I didn’t work hard for this competition. Losing the next game? Going home? It doesn’t matter to me!”
ha.
She takes a ragged breath, as if she is excited, and begins to tell a story.
A story I really didn’t want to talk about, in fact, a story I wanted to refuse.
“But I still want to win. I will try to win. Because… … .”
No one knows these players yet.
However, Sarang, who heard the story from him, intuitively felt that now was the moment to tell it.
“You are a reserve this year… … but I would like you to be a commander next year.”
He wanted to plan for the future, but love did not agree with such a thought.
I figured if I was going to do it, I had to do it while he was watching. If Cookie disappeared, this team could really disappear.
No one knows what will happen in the distant future. Like her legs. Like Sang-Hyeon’s arms.
So it was right to do it now, and I declined the offer.
But she accepts the offer.
Love now understands why Heechul planned for the distant future.
“Because from next year onwards, I’m the commander. Now… … it’s my team.”
Humans cannot look only at the present.
The future was always in their heads. The reason why the orders of the best Da-sun-shin were not heard properly was because in the end, the future was that if they matched up with this person, the cookies would come back.
But that was a wrong idea.
Now love has spoken.
The future is with me too.
“… …!?”
“What, what?”
“what…….”
The players were understandably agitated.
“You guys can go home after losing this game. You have to come back with me next year. So stop waiting for cookies.”
Love said it again, like a nail.
“Everyone, let’s win this game. I will win too.”
That’s all she had to say.
Jiiing.
The wheelchair moved and turned around.
“I will go first because it takes time to get in.”
Chi Seung nodded and swallowed.
‘Hey, is this it?’
She never once questioned me about why I didn’t follow her orders. She didn’t even give me a single line of feedback about the game.
Still, of all the locker room feedback I’ve seen so far, Chi Seung is the most… … .
‘Something has changed.’
This was the feedback that changed the mood the most.
By the way, Chi Seung had some information to pass on to the commander.
“Uh, uh! Love!? Sister!? Sister!? Just a moment! Together… … .”
* * *
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
The stadium was, as expected, bustling as they waited for the final three matches.
The Persian audience was in high spirits, and had hopes that Joseon would rise again.
“Okay. The third match against Persia that you’ve all been waiting for! Ahh. Both teams are having a hard time today! What do you think, Kinggyul?”
“Yes! From Joseon’s perspective, it’s a miracle that they’ve come this far. But I think they can go further!? And if Persia loses to Joseon and goes back, it could be really hard to handle!? This will also act as psychological pressure!”
-I really can’t handle it~
-lol
-It’s going to be honorable lol
-Much lol
“Players, enter!”
The players line up and the crowd cheers.
Perhaps because of the victory in the previous match, the cheers of the Persian fans were overwhelming.
It feels like the stadium is filled with their cheers.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
-Oh my
-The difference in numbers is huge
-When are you coming to the quarterfinals?
-ㅠㅠ
-Please let’s win ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
“Okay, there are no changes to the player roster?”
“Yes. As it is, Commander Choi Da-sun-shin, Cookie is currently not on the team.”
-Eh?
-omg
-damn
-mch
-Really???
-The cookies are terrible… …
-What is this?
-Wasn’t the second game just a test??
-ㅡㅡ
-ah……
The audience, unaware of the circumstances, reacted in a way that at first glance appeared angry.
“Yes. Joseon definitely has something it wants to show. I can say that.”
“Yes. The best commander, Da-sun-sin, was very famous in ranked matches. I think there are many things he wasn’t able to show in the second match. Also, if Joseon wins this time, another card will be created! I think it would be good if you looked at it this way!”
Even though the commander who lost once came back, and he didn’t even have a good match record.
The audience at the scene did not give up hope.
“Let’s go to the quarterfinals!!”
A person who looked like a cheerleader jumped out and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
The audience’s response is good.
“Ah. Good! Even with small numbers! With spirit! We can win!”
-??
-Isn’t that bubble gum? LOL
-What is bubble gum? LOL
-Okay, okay …
-It’s going to burst like a real balloon;
-What is strawberry shooter fashion? For a moment I mistook it for This World.
There were viewers who recognized the faces of the cheerleading squad leaders.
-The Balloon Stars are gathered, lol
-You reserved this in advance? LOL
-Wow, loyalty ㅠㅠ
-Miho is here too, everything is there, daebak
-You played with Almond, so did you expect to make it to the finals? LOL
-How did you get here? Lol
“Ah. Passionate cheering. Very good. The moment I speak. All the players have entered the capsule. If nothing unusual is found, the game will begin soon.”
Now the final three games have begun, no matter who wins.
