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

A shop in Levant, the capital of the Demon King.

Kita Mizato-sama, I've got a quote for pepper from an inquirer I'm with.

Levant comes under Takeshi, who is having tea with Simona in the store, and places a quote in front of him.

"You're here, aren't you?"

So... can I see it? "

"Well, it's Kitamizato-sama."

You know we expect to profit from this price. There's no problem. "

"Then, let's take a look."

... one kilogram of black pepper from Baron Belli is 80 copper coins... this is the price of the wholesaler, right? "

"Yes, I'm buying it now."

For Kita Mizato, I'll put a little profit on it. "

Levant nods.

"That can't be helped."

... so, Mr. Levant, how much inventory did you have at the wholesaler? "

"The inquirer I'm with is quite large, but it's still only 20kg in stock.

I don't know how much Kitamizato-sama wants "as much as I can", so I asked him how much I want, and he said he would take it to the supplier.

So, when I went to the Royal Castle, Daniela gave me a letter of referral to the Baron Belli's shop.

So, well... I think you can get a little more than usual. "

Levant says.

"Hmm... I'll pay a little to enclose it..."

... If possible, I would like you to prepare 20kg per month, 240kg per year, 100kg per month, and 1200kg per year.

Ah... I'll stop that.

I would like to ask for 40 kg per month and 480 kg per year. "

"... either way, it's a mass purchase."

"Well, I'm going to sell it in the Azpal Kingdom."

As far as I am concerned, if I have 480 kg, there will be no problem at the moment, so please check whether it can be handled. "

"I understand.

And why did Master Kitamizato change his mind? "

Levant nods and asks.

"... If I started selling in the Azpar Kingdom, someone might come to buy it from the other noble country facing the Demon Kingdom, the Count of Godwin."

I thought I'd find a way not to put too much in. ”

"Currently, import and export to and from the Azpar Kingdom are only done by me, Simona and Kitamizato, and I have never heard of them in my industry.

Well, if you're doing it, it might be the Countess Pani's shop facing Count Godwin's realm... but I don't hear it's active in the capital.

I don't even hear you're acting like me in King's Landing. "

Levant says.

"That's... now."

Because this pepper is easy to use, I expect demand in Japan to be high.

In addition, it is currently only produced in the Demon Kingdom.

In this case, because the import volume is small, the selling price can be slightly higher. ”

"You mean you won't sell with a 15% increase in profits?"

"I'll make it a little higher."

Then, if the selling price is high, there will be people trying to import without going through us. ”

"I see... does Master Kitamizato want to take care of the person who came in that way?"

"Yes, well... one day we will be able to distribute it at a price of 15% each, but if we can export a substantial amount of pepper in the Demon Kingdom, we will be able to do so."

Until then, I would like to sell it at a certain high price. "

"Hmm... Kitamizato-sama, telling us that means we need to move."

"Yeah... because nobody's put their hands on it, it's a bad trick to import it first."

Takeshi says flirtatiously.

"Hmm..."

Levanto and Simona think.

What does Master Kitamizato's evil trick do?

Levanto asks.

“It's easy.

If you want to ship 40kg per month to the wholesaler, you can buy 1kg for 2 silver coins.

Of course, I don't want to increase the distribution price in the Demon King, so the price in the Demon King is the same as before.

I just want to collect it by saying "the price for the Azpal Kingdom".

You can't bother people in the Demon King by raising the price strangely.

If the over-the-counter price is going to rise, we will not purchase from that inquirer. "

"It's... tough, and the content is strange, but... hm?" Kitamizato-sama, are you calling it a 40kg shipment? "

“Yes, I would buy it for 39kg at an over-the-counter price per kg.

For 41kg, we will buy 40kg for 80 silver coins, but we will buy 1kg in excess at the store price.

Of course, if the quality is poor, we will not trade in the future.

I will have this signed with Mr. Levant for 11 years (...).

Of course, if you ask for two or more silver coins, the deal is closed. ”

"If I were to sell 40 kilograms of black pepper for the Azpal Kingdom with the surplus that is not in the store, would I be able to sign a deal to buy two silver coins per kilo?"

"Yes, I think the inquirer will collect 480 kg from the 80 silver coins either from other companies in the industry or from the production area.

The rest is profitable, so I'll prepare a delicious bait for them. ”

Kitamizato-sama, in other words... when the Countess of Pani comes to buy it, you want him to buy it for two silver coins?

"Yeah... well, that's right.

However, would it be acceptable for someone to buy two silver coins even though the store price is 80 copper coins?

I would protest for the time being. "

"... Master Kitamizato, that's a bad trick..."

That means that the shop and the wholesaler will argue, and from the wholesaler, it will be "if you don't want to buy it, you don't have to buy it".

Simona says.

"Besides, even if someone from another company in the same industry starts buying pepper, it will be unusual for a beast to buy it, so the story will be told immediately, and our inquisitor will change the blood color and stop it."

"Well, if the inquisitor told Aunt Levant about this, she wouldn't want to make Aunt Levant's proof bad."

While Levanto and Simona had a difficult face, I thought Takeo's plan was highly effective.
