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

Takeo and the others had stopped by the grocery store to buy Tama and Sue's house and then watched the city and witnessed Smith and the others go into Bedford's green fruit store.

"Ta... Dear Takeo! Smith is walking away!

Alice says in surprise.

"No... what impression do you have of Smith Boy?

Takeo returns a bitter laugh.

"And did you decide on the cost or something yesterday today?

It'll take a little longer... and, Miss Alice? Do not soften.

"Dear Takeo!? It's Smith!?

That Smith is walking away!?

There's a drawstring Smith who only leaves the house after about practicing his sword!?

"... you're insulting Smith boy spectacularly.

I guess I'm just studying...

Smith boy must have come because he cares about something, too.

"Sa, Takeo, let's go!

Alice quails out in front of Takeo.

"Yes, sir.

Takeo and the others headed to Bedford's Green Fruit Shop early.

------------------------

"Dear Kitamizato, Miss Alice!?

"Yes, hello.

So, you're thinking about selling it, right?

"Ha... yes.

"Master Takeo, do you want me to eat?

Smith asks.

"Yeah. Quickly, if you give the free offering Mr. Law is making, you'll increase your awareness.

And you just have to connect to the purchase.

"But how..."

"Smith, that's the stall."

"Ah!"

Smith flashes at Alice's words.

"But... isn't it not profitable to sell the product at an extra cost?

"Hmm... we'll have to assume that the cost will be recovered in the future because it's an initial investment.

But selling it while you actually eat it at the store is good for raising awareness.

Takeo remembers a seller selling over-the-counter in a supermarket.

"Do you want me to eat... at Mr. Bedford's store?

"That's one hand too... well, would you like to do that once?

"Master Takeo, just in the right place.

I have received a letter from His Royal Highness the First Prince addressed to Takeo and have kept it.

and Frederick pass a letter to Takeo.

"Is it addressed to me?

"Yes, addressed to Master Takeo.

"Really?

Takeo opens the letter on the spot.

Everyone watched with breath.

"Hehe, you're thinking something similar over there.

Takeo finishes reading the letter and ends up nostalgic.

"Dear Takeo, what did His Highness Cliff say?

Alice asks.

"They want us to match the selling price of Uster Sauce.

Everyone breathes in unison.

"They're selling 500 ml from His Highness Cliff for 30 copper coins (...).

"Hmm... will the means we can take sell it in the same quantity and price as His Royal Highness the 1st Prince, or will we match the price at 300ml?

Frederick squeaks.

"Erm... what is the current cost and selling price?

"This way.

A civilian gives Takeo his estimates.

"So shall we sell it for 300 ml?

Using barrels sounds interesting too.

Takeo lightly lowers his opinion to accept Bedford's estimate.

"Then the sale price of the barrel (300ml) will be 18 copper coins.

Dear Takeo, do you think you can sell at this price?

Frederick asks.

"Well... when we get here, we'll have to sell it.

But I think the way Smith Boy sold the way he said he would, too, is' yes'.

"Is it true!?

Smith can be praised by Takeo.

"Yeah.

This method of attachment is a great idea.

Then figure out a way to make this a little easier to buy.

"Yes!"

"The selling method that came to mind when I asked how to take over is the idea of mass selling.

"" "Weighing?

"Erm... Dear Takeo, mass selling is a way of selling with beans and cereals, right?

I think wine and other liquids are what you buy in bottles and barrels?

Everyone twists their necks and Alice listens on behalf of them.

"That's right.

But you buy every new container from using up (...), right?

Smith boy's idea would bring a container with what might be left (...) at the bottom.

Then... uh... it originally has a 300ml capacity, doesn't it?

It's a good idea to have a pattern with 50ml in it and keep how much for one cup.

Right... the original assumption is 9 copper coins...

Up to 6 times (...) then... 1.5?... fraction?

The price for the joints would be 50 ml for two copper coins.

"That means the sale price of the barrel is 18 copper coins and one cup (50 ml) for two copper coins.

Civilian says.

"Is this going to make a fortune?

"Um... please wait..."

Civilians start calculating with great momentum.

Other faces watch.

"Hmm... selling it either way (...) doesn't change your profits pretty much.

However, in the case of barrels, the purchase price is likely to fluctuate if a constant quantity is not purchased.

So you might have to set some sales targets for the barrel.

Or I think I need to buy bulk... or make a decision around there.

Civilians report.

"That neighborhood depends on what Mr. Bedford will do with the production of the month and the outlook for the number of units sold in this city.

And is it possible to buy every barrel you plant?

"No... Dear Kitamizato, you can't do that.

This manufacturing method has to be boiled a little.

So you can't sell every barrel you plant.

"But if you're going to wholesale it to a tavern, you're going to sell one barrel of it as it is, right?

What will happen to the price at that time?

"Yes, please wait a moment.

Civilians start recalculating.

"Right... I think we're going to sell it for 7,500 copper coins, 7 gold coins and 5 silver coins.

"Hmm...

Well, as the supply to the liquor store was covered by post-order production, the average household... how many barrels did you take?

"It's worth 225 barrels and 300 for attachments in barrels.

"Are you buying one barrel and selling 225 barrels?

Now, how many days can you...?

"How much do you think Takeo would sell while eating?

"Um... Mr. Frederick.

How many people do you think come to buy dinner ingredients and pass by this store?

"Well... you've never seen it from that point of view.

But I think there are a lot of people around this store if it's evening time.

Frederick bothers me.

"Ma'am, how's it actually selling and getting customers in?

"Right... roughly the best people come between the 9: 00 and evening bells.

Number of people, maybe 50... no, whether 70 people are coming or not.

Takeo wanted to do a traffic survey someday while listening to Bedford's wife.

"Then we'll have to try selling them in stores for 50 to 70 of them and gradually spread them in the housewives' public discourse.

Well, I wonder how much you can buy... good and 80%... is it roughly up to 60 people?

Would you like me to sell the prototype and the barrel after I've arranged it?

Uncle, when can you do your first sauce?

"Actually, it's not for sale, and I'm thinking about doing it today as a prototype...

Would you like a little more time to sell it?

"Really?

Would you like me to sell it only on the first day when it's sold?

Please also deliver it to the Elvis family at the prototype stage.

Rather than sell what you planted today.

"Huh?"

"Because we all like this sauce.

It's going to be gone now... but I want it now, but I'll just wait.

"How long do I have to deliver?

"Right.

Delivery to the Elvis family would be good for the one barrel that Master Takeo had just said.

It can only be post-order production. Sure... was it about 4 days from order to delivery?

"Okay.

In the meantime, I will make what I have planted today and put it in my hands before delivering it.

"Dear Takeo, should we wait for the prototype for now?

Alice asks.

"You will.

Contracts, sales channels, etc. will be easier to meet without us.

"Shall we be free then?

At Alice's word, Takeo, Smith and Frederick left the store.

"Ha... you've got a sale price.

Bedford sighs.

"Good for you, for now you'll be able to make the contract.

I guess we'll all have to talk about the barrels we need to manufacture and the barrels for sale.

"Half of them were barrels, according to Lord Civilian's estimates... but you'll have to think a little more, ho ho.

"The sales method was also sold to the public in the store for now, and you said something about wholesale it to the liquor store, right?

"Only for the first time, Master Kitamizato said something about selling... what do you think?

"That would be it. Aren't we supposed to do this?

"What would happen if Kitamizato actually sold it? Ho ho."

"Well... the negotiations are between me and Mr. Law as Kitamizato, but...

Is it that easy to sell in stores?

"I can't help but talk about things I don't know.

Let's just decide on our future policy.

The clerk in charge of the finance bureau summed it up.
