A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

The laboratory meeting room on the 3rd floor in the morning.

Earlier than planned, Takeo is meeting with the director of Denham monopoly bureau, the deputy director of Haggard monopoly bureau management department, and the deputy director of Langford finance bureau budget management department.

Victor was the secretary.

"That's why I'm investigating grocery stores, fruit stores, dried goods stores, and cereal shops in the Demon King Kingdom."

Takeo tells the three of them.

"Lord Kitamizato, what about the blacksmith?

I have some of the brass. "

Denham says.

"I'd love to see it, but can we see the blacksmith and see the steel there?"

"Hmm... when they say that...

I would like to import unusual steel.

Do you know Mark? "

"I'm sorry, but I don't know the steel on the boulder.

If you could tell me how much it is worth, I could meet with Mr. Langford and estimate the amount that can be imported immediately. "

"That's right.

If you two think you'll need it in the future, you can come up with an estimate. "

Haggard and Langford nod.

"So... will you look at the weapon store or something and tell me the materials...?"

"Can you honestly tell me the ingredients..."

Takeo and Denham are troubled.

"... you won't be able to.

I don't think the blacksmith will expose the steel, even if they say the material of the weapon politely. "

"That's right.

I am asking you to import it if you know what I was told in the first place, and you don't know if it is true steel, do you? "

Both of you give up.

"But you two want to find steel that you don't have now, right?"

Langford will ask.

Yeah.

"But I don't know whether the steel is good or bad on the spot, whether I look at it or hear it.

Instead, I don't know the truth, so I don't have any judgment material. "

Haggard asks.

That's right.

"... take a circle and go back to the blacksmith over there to interview.

Would you like to take back what you got there and talk to the blacksmith in King's Landing? "

Langford says.

That's right.

Takeo and Denham nodded.

"Lord Kitamizato, what about the brass from here?"

Haggard asks.

"... should I entrust half of it to Simona and rely on the shop helper?

Let's give Daniela the other half and have a look inside the castle over there. "

Can I sell it?

"You'll get an order if you need it.

Well, I wish I could export it.

First, we need to develop it domestically.

I'll buy what I brought this time. "

"Yes, this is the invoice.

The last 100 kg promised to the director should be in transit with a request from the Elvis family. "

"If it arrives, there is no problem and I will tell you to pay.

And the payment... oh, it's not cheap. "

Takeo murmured looking at the invoice that had been given to him.

"Well, it's a new metal, and we haven't even moved to the production system yet.

However, our previous quote and unit price remain unchanged. "

Haggard says.

"Please.

... how many kilograms does the chunk come in? "

"Er... I think it will be carried in a 300g rectangle that holds the knob of the door that I received in the prototype."

Haggard scrolls through the materials.

"I see...

Victor, when you get here, wholesale the payment to the Howards Chamber of Commerce.

They made a prototype that I took to King's Landing the last time.

They will handle it.

I'll pay for it. "

"I was afraid."

Victor nods.

"Doesn't Kitamizato decide on the wholesale price?"

Langford will ask.

"... if the goal is to spread, it may not be profitable, but I can't maintain the employment of my subordinates without putting in a minimum profit.

As a Kitamizato family, we also know that we will receive the minimum profit.

It will be wholesale profit to the extent that I do not break the market without giving instructions.

Victor. "

"Yes, I will have the Howards Chamber of Commerce wholesale 15% more than the amount purchased from the monopoly office."

"That's right."

Takeo tells Langford.

"... Monopoly director, is that good?"

"Isn't that good?

In the first place, we will deal with it until it is delivered to the aristocrats with territory.

So we're adding some values and wholesaling them to the market.

I shouldn't have given you instructions for the price. "

"We regulate the price of paper, pipe leaves, etc!"

"To be precise, we are teaching the final selling price range to the aristocrats in the Territory in the form of an index for the final domestic price.

Top price and bottom price.

I don't know what the price is, that's why it's mostly around the lowest price.

It is the caravan that has the information.

And they go to every place, and they see the value of every place, and they teach it to the rest of the land.

It's not about us. "

"... hah... how much does an ordinary territory cost for iron?"

"Well... on average, it would be about 20%.

Isn't that enough, Mark? "

"Precisely 19.2%.

Let's say King's City is 23%. "

"Ha... So the brass is likely to be based on Kitamizato's current price?"

"It's the steel that Kitamizato suggested the other way around.

It won't be a problem if Kitamizato decides on the price.

What happens in the market?

As a monopoly office, if you use a lot, you can increase the production volume.

I am grateful for Mr Kitamizato's profits because of the increase in his work. "

Denham nods.

"... is that so? Lord Kitamizato, does the House of Kitamizato buy steel in Count Elvis' territory?"

"No, the Elvis family will.

We are an import and export business for the Demon King Kingdom. "

"... have you checked Elvis' policy?"

"I haven't, but I will report it to the Elvis family afterwards because it is steel that has never existed before.

The other share should be 15%.

If we export more from here to the Demon Kingdoms, it will be a little more expensive because we will get our share.

Either way, we only buy and export from the Elvis family. "

"Ha... the Elvis family seems to be in trouble."

Langford sighed.
