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

Takeo and Frederick enter the guest room.

"Mr. Elvis, we're back.

"I'm back -.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're back.

"Takeo, Mia, Frederick, welcome back.

"Miss Alice, Smith boy, we're back.

"Yes, Master Takeo, Mia, welcome back.

"Welcome back to all three.

Takeo and the others greet the Elvis family home.

"So, Takeo, how was it?

"For now, they're going to make me a share of this city..."

"Dear Takeo, thank you.

Frederick bows his head to Takeo.

"No, neither Walt Whiskey nor Wuster Sauce have a problem lending money to the Elvis family (...) because it's something I've invented that I want to make an industry in the city.

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

"Takeo, thank you from me, too.

I would appreciate a twist of 200 gold coins from my salary as a nobleman from King's Capital in Takeo.

But are you sure you're okay?

I told you earlier that there was no problem... "

Grandpa Elvis asks me worried.

"Indeed, my salary as a nobleman is 300 gold coins per year, my grant for the building costs of the early institute is 200 gold coins, and my Institute Director's allowance is 100 gold coins.

So I have a deposit of 600 total gold coins.

Within that, we will pay you 300 gold coins for the construction of the laboratory, so there are 300 gold coins left.

Plus I think I have regular income on trench coats, Walt whiskey, pocket watches, so I said no problem...

Still, I suppose this Wuster sauce would be popular, but Mr. Elvis was skeptical.

Takeo bothers with his arms together.

"Um, I don't doubt that much.

I'm not sure what the selling price of Wuster Sauce is going to determine whether it's popular or not.

Besides, we haven't eaten yet. We've only heard from His Highness Cliff and Alice and judged them. "

"Ha, because I'll make it at dinner today without having to resent you so much.

"" Yay!

Grandpa Elvis and Smith rejoice with a full grin.

"Speaking of which, I just told you that Takeo assumed a selling price for Uster Sauce of five copper coins.

"Yes. I don't think it would be popular with the average household unless it was about that price.

"Well, I don't think I'm wrong about that idea.

But it's not possible to distribute five pieces of copper coin.

"Erm... is it the price of the bottle?

Takeo answers with a few thoughts.

"Uhm.

After Takeo and Frederick left the mansion, Alice and Smith were investigating the vials at the city's grocery store.

"Yes. If Master Takeo wants us to distribute it in five copper coins... we probably can't do it without this vial.

Smith takes out about 80 ml of vial.

"... how much was this?

"It's five copper coins.

I expected the purchase value to probably be about 2 copper coins because the sale price at the store is 5 copper coins.

"Hmm... that's not much.

Privately... that's about it.

Takeo takes a brandy bottle of about 200ml capacity that was on the shelf in the guest room.

"Master Takeo, that was about 10 pieces of copper coin, wasn't it?

Perhaps the purchase value is about 5 copper coins.

"Really?

And then are all kinds of vegetables and flavors... how much will the raw materials cost?

You want to have no more than 10 copper coins.

"Mm-hmm... then I don't think it's profitable.

What's wrong with keeping it cheap... "

"It's obvious the only way to lower the cost is what Mr. Bedford thinks.

You'll be interested there, too.

"Besides, Lord, Dear Takeo, there is also the issue of securing vegetables.

This early part of the city will be handled by farmers in this city, but will have to come in from other towns in the future.

"What do you think of Takeo?

"Of this city... no. I think it changes with what kind of policy the Elvis family will adopt.

I was wondering if I would stop by exactly how I was going to hang out with the King's Capital in a year or two.

"Hmm, because there's going to be great power next door.

"Dear Takeo, is your commercial relationship with Wang Du not as good as ever?

Smith asks.

"Hmm..."

Takeo puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"Shall I tell you what I think about that?

"Your grandfather?

"Uhm.

Distribution for the purpose of maintaining our territory in the first place has been purchased from Wang Du, Fred and Robert.

Well, in brief, I'm turning the toll on the buying as it is.

In other words, the balance of payments is good as it is now (...).

But in the future, His Highness William will be transferred.

What's more, Takeo's advances could change the logistics.

Then there are two paths we can choose.

One does not interact with His Royal Highness William as before with Wang Du.

The other doesn't interact with His Highness William and hang out with the King's Capital.

... from a polar point of view, it does.

"It's... what can I do?

Smith bothers me.

"Smith boy.

In fact, it cannot be done to eliminate distribution perfectly either way.

So I said, 'What are we going to do with the specific gravity of future distribution?' The Elvis family has to make the top decision.

"Mm-hmm. If we think about it more properly, we need to conduct a review of distribution from four regions: Wang Du, His Highness William, Fred and Robert.

How does Takeo work?

"I have a trench coat and Walt whiskey sales concept all over the kingdom, but I would like to focus on His Highness William's realm if Uster Sauce is going to be for sale in 4 aristocratic territories.

"Will it?

If so, it would be desirable to go to His Highness William's place with the Wholesale Uster Sauce and buy cereals on the way home.

"You will.

In that case, the revenues are likely to decrease because West Town has less circulation from Wang Capital.

"Uhm.

As it is now, it is likely to lag behind the development of other towns.

Takeo, do you have any good hands?

"Right... if you want to buy raw materials for Uster sauce outside of this city, why not buy it from Nishimachi?

"Dear Takeo, in extreme terms, is this a farm dedicated to uster sauce?

"You will.

You might want to be able to create the right vegetables for Uster sauce, but either way you might have to make the equivalent vegetables for 4 nobles.

"I see.

Maybe it's the hands that develop around vegetables.

With that said, the specialty festival was salted in West Town... Hmm, Frederick.

"Yes. Together with what Takeo said about rice, we will begin to consider whether we can adopt a system for increasing the production of vegetable products in West Town.

Frederick nods.

"I've got more civilian work to do again... will you be pissed off in that?

"Hehe, Master Takeo, I'm fine.

That's all the development proposals come out.

We'll all be busy, but I don't think we'll get angry.

"I hope so.

Policies still move people, don't they...

Perhaps I could spare some more time if it's true, but thank you. I wanted to move quickly.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"Takeo, that's fine.

If you just figured it out, it's what you need now in Takeo (...). That's why.

Whether it is good or bad or whether it is implemented is another matter, and the proposal should be made immediately.

"Yes. We may not be able to implement everything.

But as the Lord also said, if Master Takeo thought, it would be because he needs to do it now.

Don't hesitate to do anything, keep drafting.

Let us decide if we want to implement it.

Frederick smiles.

"Yes, I understand.

Then keep up the good work.

Takeo bowed his head.
