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

Episode 614: Let's go to the grocery store! 2 (Request a quote. )

Monica and Monica's husband and Monica's father also came to the reception set to listen to Takeo and Ringtone.

By the way, Monica's husband (adopted son-in-law) is a furniture artisan and his father is the head of the furniture department.

Monica watches the buying and wholesale of lumber and the movement of the whole gold.

The Howorth Chamber of Commerce originally only manufactured and sold furniture, but if it had gone directly to buy good wood, it was rumored that it "knew good wood" and began buying other furniture stores and timber inquirers' shares, and to this day it is also a lumber dealer.

Takeo was finishing his explanation as he wrote a picture on paper all the way. (Taylor and Ringtone are doing a clean book at the same time.

"I see... do you give us the right to prototype and commercialize items made from wood?

Monica thinks arm in arm.

"What do you think, Father?

"Right...

Pencil as chalk and writing fixture with blackboard and shellfish and egg shells and reversi and chess, which are intelligent toys.

They would all be right to choose us (...).

I can't do anything but us.

... Dear Kitamizato, how much do you expect?

My father asks.

"Is that about sales channels? Are we talking about a price range?

Takeo listens back.

"We hope you'll both share your thoughts.

Will you tell me that and each standard again?

"Right... shall we talk about each standard and prospective story first?

We consider the blackboard to be an ordered product, but make sure you can make several sizes as well as 2m wide, 1m high, where you ask for a prototype.

This is the same idea as furniture and you won't be replacing it early.

As for the chalk, it is consumable (...) so I think it will be a regular sale.

I wrote earlier about pencils, but now I'm fine with squares.

I build a groove on two plates, and I practice charcoal there, and place the baked core, and I think it will be sandwiched with a plate, and then crimped with something like a noose, so it's about... 20 cm long and about half the thickness of my index finger?

This is also a consumable, isn't it?

Reversi should have a square linear groove of 8 squares (vertical and horizontal) on a plate of about 30 cm and apply one side of the hexagonal (...) plate to each of the 64 squares on white and black.

You also wrote earlier about chess.

This is also about 30 centimetres long and 9 squares across the board to create a linear groove for each piece.

Write in red as King, Ball, Gold, Silver, Horse, Car, Soldier, Fly, Horn Behind the Soldier: 'T', Behind the Silver: 'Gold', Behind the Horse: 'Gold', Behind the Car: 'Flying Dragon', Behind the Horn: 'Horned Dragon'.

Instructions should describe how each pawn moves and is placed as you just did.

"" "Yes.

"It's about the selling price...

In the meantime, I'd like an estimate of the amount I assumed I'd make five pairs at a time.

I'd like to keep the price range modest except for the blackboard if I could... well, shall I look at the quote and think about it?

"Are you sure you want all five pairs at a time?

"Yes. Please prototype all four of these items in five pairs.

That and quotes should be individual, not bulk.

"Okay.

Do you think you can guess?

"Mm-hmm... Dear Kitamizato, may I bring it to the Count's mansion the evening after tomorrow?

Monica's husband asks.

"Yes, I don't mind.

I'm sorry about the ringtone, but I think you should ask for it all at once, so I'm in charge of the financial relationship.

"Yes, I'll leave it to Takeo.

"I'm the money, but please keep me in check for ringtones for the prototype stage blackboard and pencil and reversing production phase.

In particular, did you write an overview diagram of the blackboard?

Meet with this craftsman each time to see if it's the same shape in the head of the ringtone and if you can improve it.

"Yes, I understand.

Excuse me, but I'll let you come.

The ringtone bows its head to the face of the Haworth Chamber of Commerce.

"This is where we make things that are satisfying.

Monica's father says.

"Well... if the quote comes and I give permission, the prototype starts...

Are the people at the Howorth Chamber of Commerce most concerned with the assumed sales channel and the contract with me?

"Yes."

Monica nods.

"In the meantime, I think I'll give the Elvis family a push to buy about the blackboard.

I'll probably be the first to place it in a conference room, etc... so is it 5 first?

And even my lab will buy 5 of them.

"I think I'll buy it in our workshop too... but is it 2 for now?

The ringtone supplements.

"Suddenly 12... except for the prototype, is it 7?

No, you have to ensure the production of the chalk I was told earlier.

Hmm... you did mix shellfish and egg shells with flour like wheat in the description to add water and stiffen it up.

Where do you ask for that... is that it?

Monica's husband starts to think.

"I don't know how much you can sell about pencils and reversing, chess... sorry. I don't know.

At least I'll buy the pencil... but figure out how to spread it.

But don't think you're going to win big.

As for that and the blackboard set and the reversi, Wang Du is showing interest.

"Is it Wang Du?

"Yes. Your Majesty wants it.

"" "Huh!?

The Howorth Chamber of Commerce hardens.

"If you are admitted there, you may or may not come with a large number of orders.

However, the Elvis family, His Majesty, the 1st Prince, the 2nd Prince and the 3rd Prince will be the destinations for delivering the prototype.

Oh, I also want it for personal use, so I'll have six prototypes made at a time.

"" "Ha!?

"I think if I get caught somewhere, I'll have more orders.

"No, no, no! Dear Kitamizato!

Do you suddenly sell to Your Majesty or the royal family!?

Aren't you usually going to try selling it in every local city in the tunnel to see how it reacts?

"I guess.

But I'm thinking of taking a look at it because the highest nobility in the country wants it.

Either way, I've already told His Majesty, so you'll be infidel if you don't take it.

Oh, but no decoration is required for the prototype.

It would be nice if you could simply draw a groove line on the board and make a pawn, and the blackboard and pencil don't need to be decorated.

Because if you need it, you'll come specially ordered.

I just want to know how much simple things can be right now.

Besides, if you decide to hire me in Wang Du and Royal Territory, you'll have to introduce me to a trusted vendor to protect the Haworth Chamber of Commerce and get me an exclusive contract.

"Oh... are you thinking that far?

Monica asks.

"Yes, but I haven't confirmed my order yet because you have to see if I like it.

I'll check with you when I go to Wang Du at the beginning of the year... can you just make a prototype for me by the beginning of the year?

"Erm... bring a quote the evening after tomorrow... six prototypes at a time, right?

Once again, Monica's husband confirms what he is going to make and assembles the process in his head.

"Dear Kitamizato, how do you think the chalk should be worked out?

Monica's father asks.

"... can't you modify the hand-held machine for pasta manufacturing?

"Oh, I see.

Sure looks like you could do a uniform one with that one.

Finish as much as you want with the wood processing, but you're not sure about the chalk.

Well, I ask around there, checking with various vendors.

"Yeah, please.

And, yeah, it's a contract for these four items.

I'm going to do the same thing with the tailor's manager, Ralph. Was it 20% of the sales?

For more information... bell tone, surely the Inspector General's Department would have seen it better, wouldn't they?

"Yes. I plan to contact the General Inspectorate when the store is decided.

Takeo, are you making it here?

"Yeah, let's just make it.

You don't even have time.

For this reason, if you get a quote for the prototype and I authorize it, I will ask the Inspector General to put it together.

"" "Yes! Please!

The face of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce bows its head.

"So, Taylor Store Manager, Ringtone, shall we have a minute?

"" Yes.

"Oh, yeah, I hope I can make it to my quote the day after tomorrow, but I built a square a little way to the woods from the back castle gate, and I'm knocking down trees to explore the woods, can you buy those trees out?

"Huh?... Huh, let me take a look at it later... let me make an estimate.

"Please pick up all the trees that are falling.

Shall we go then?

Takeo and the others left the store.

Three of the Howorth Chamber of Commerce who dropped him off were gutted by the reception set.

"Oh... we're going to build momentum, but...

Isn't that a hell of a thing?

"... ah. At first I thought it was a temporary job to make aristocratic toys... but you're going to commercialize them.

"I did want a side business because there's not a lot of demand for furniture... but all of a sudden it's all over the kingdom?

"Sure... the liquor store union and the tailor union were working pretty hard.

Was Kitamizato-sama involved?

Does that mean it came to us too?

"But you and your father are willing, aren't you?

"" Naturally.

Two people nod at Monica's words.

"It's not my temperament as an artisan to come and say no to a request.

"Absolutely. Definitely deliver good stuff.

In the meantime, let's make one at a time.

"Right! Let's make something like that!

First of all, it looks like we're the only ones who can do it. Reversi and chess!

"Ha... I made it look like I was having fun.

Oh, someone needs to let me go to the back castle gate.

Monica sighed as she watched the two men make arrangements.
