A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 275: The North Town Director's Job 2 (Project of Loans. )
"Well, the Elvis family... you're not.
Kitamizato is willing to make your company's whiskey an eyeball product on Elvis territory.
"No?
President Walt surprises me.
"To be precise, it must be the first...
I explained when I came here before, but I make rye on a farm under my jurisdiction in North Town.
The Elvis family looked for processed products to increase rye production and caught their eye on your company's whiskey.
So we are looking to anchor whiskey to the inhabitants of Elvis territory as wine, alcohol after brandy, and consume it regularly.
We believe that expansion of agricultural land can be expected in the future if whiskey can be consumed on a regular basis.
"Yes."
"Master Kitamizato is willing to make it popular in the city first...
It foresees the possibility that it will be difficult to make it popular as it is now.
"Uh... what is it?
"As I said earlier, the supply is low.
We want 10,000 manufacturing systems to make it popular and settle in the city, but we have a limit of 6,000.
"Ha no..."
"That's where Kitamizato is giving new instructions to the directors of the four towns.
That's what it says: 'Find a business in difficulty with funding, determine whether it can be financed by the Bureau meeting, and start a business of lending for things that have potential in the future'.
"Huh!?
"President Walt, even as a North Town, your company thinks you are eligible for this loan.
So I believe that if the president is willing, he can recommend it as North Town.
"... what would be the terms for the loan..."
"As an Elvis family, I don't say anything about management.
I won't tell you... paying the Elvis family about 6-9% of the sales as a repayment percentage is expected to be a loan condition.
"Hmm... is it 9%..."
President Walt roars.
"We also know it's a very tough amount.
For once, or rather, I also asked the Director of the Treasury... if your company's sales grew well, they say you might be able to make a small repayment percentage on the second and subsequent additional loans.
"I can't get an immediate answer...
You also need to explain it to your employees.
Let me think.
"That would be good.
If you are applying for a public offering for a loan, please have your current income and expenditure report and the amount you would like to invest in your equipment.
"Okay.
Consider and respond internally.
President Walt nodded.
and my daughter in the meantime grabs her stuff and comes into the room.
"Father, it's just... Mr. Director!?
Excuse me, I'll serve you some tea right away.
My daughter puts her luggage on the spot and goes to get some tea.
"Ah... you don't mind... he's gone.
Randall tries to say no but misses the timing.
"... I'm sorry.
My daughter said that... there were places where she would act as soon as she remembered... "
"No, yesterday, many people are not moving even if they are aware of it.
I think you'd be more reliable with that kind of behavior.
"I appreciate you saying that.
My daughter comes in with tea and puts it in front of the three of them, backing off a little from everyone.
"... Mr. President, I'm curious, can you let me know if I can help you?
"Yes, what is it?
"What did your daughter buy you?
It's packaged... but it feels like an exterior... like a painting?
"Ha, you're half right.
Will you give me that?
Give Walt the wrapped things his daughter keeps.
Walt unpacks and retrieves the contents.
"Ho, is that a frame?
"Yes, Kitamizato wrote to me this time when I stopped by the city liquor store, so I thought I'd put it in my forehead and decorate it.
To Walt's words, Randall wonders, "Framing the letter?
"This is the letter.
And, Walt brings a single letter from a nearby desk drawer and gives it to Randall.
"Can I see it?
"Yes."
"Ho.
Randall checks the contents of the letter and leaks a sigh of admiration.
The content of the letter...
Content
Thank you for sending us this delicious drink.
The Elvis family enjoyed drinking with me.
Your company's Rye whiskey is innovative.
This alcoholic beverage is made from products made with care by rye producers, and we believe that your company's rare ideas combined with constant efforts are the first to come into being.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who will continue to make good quality alcohol in the future, and we look forward to assuming the core of the industrial development of North Town.
"Mr. President, is this even for employees?
"Yes.
I made everyone read it.
"How was it?
"The employees were impressed.
This is also the first letter of thanks from the Count's family... and most importantly, they enjoyed the alcohol we made.
I have no further compliments as a producer.
Walt says happily, and his daughter snorts.
"Hehe, Master Kitamizato is quick to act.
Mr President, this wording... you'd better read it again, wouldn't you?
"Yes?
Speaking of which... the city liquor store also said, 'When Master Kitamizato moves, the stores caught in it will be very busy, so you should be prepared, right?' I was told... "
Walt reads the letter again.
"... ah... is that what you're saying..."
Walt shall be dismayed.
"Father? What's wrong?
My daughter is surprised by her father's disappointment and asks.
"No... now the director tells you if you want to increase your production of Walt whiskey, right?
"Yes!? Even though today is my first shipment!?
And the funds... "
"Yeah, it was also explained that the Elvis family would be spreading the equipment funds.
"Loans..."
My daughter starts to come up with ideas on the spot.
"When I read this letter after I heard that explanation...
Master Kitamizato thinks that our Rye whiskey can be placed in the industrial center of North Town.
Efforts shall be made not to diminish the quality of Rye whiskey. That includes farmers.
And if we don't lose quality and let it develop, we have to increase production.
And there's an explanation in the letter.
"Huh?... is that how you decipher this letter?
"Ha, that's what happens when you read the back.
But Kitamizato says, "Expect," right?
I mean, "The Elvis family really moves, so it's up to the president to decide, right? 'And he's throwing it.
"Huh... Father... what shall we do?
My daughter leaks her sigh.
"Right... Mr. Director.
In the meantime, we'll discuss it internally.
So, whatever the consequences, I'll go up to you to explain.
"Okay.
As I said earlier, when you apply for a public offering for a loan, please bring your current income and expenditure report and a breakdown of the amount you would like to invest in your equipment.
Mr President, I believe that this Rye whisky can be, as Mr Kitamizato is told, the core industry in North Town.
If the president is willing, we'll back up with the civilian in North Town.
"Yes, I understand.
We will consider it.
"Then we'll be free.
and Director Randall and the young man stand up and exit.
"President, you'll be back.
"Yes, I understand.
President Walt also stands up and drops off.
My daughter left with me to show her to the front door.
President Walt stood and waited for his daughter to return.
