A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 648: On the way home.
"I didn't know Takeo was there.
I heard you were stopping by, but I thought you were called because you left.
... Shouldn't Takeo have seen it without me?
Takeo, Smith and Ringtone, who left the Howorth Chamber of Commerce, were walking home.
I say it with a ringing bell.
"No, because I left the blackboard relationship and the pencil to the ringtone.
Aside from the person in charge, I don't even know what to order.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"Well good.
And the pencil and chalk were almost as good a finish as we thought.
"Yeah.
Thank you for making it this far.
Well, the green on the blackboard asked me to repaint... "
"Yeah, that was bright green.
The ringtone laughs bitterly.
"Dear Takeo, Mr. Suzune, are you making what you requested for now?
Smith asks.
"Yes.
Pencils, blackboards and chalk are made without any problems, right?
How do you see the ringtone?
"Mm-hmm... it's definitely what I asked for...
You want a little more variety, don't you?
"Well, that's right.
But that would be the next stage.
It's early now. You should make it first, spread it, and then increase the number and variety of improvements.
"You shouldn't rush it.
"You don't get many good results in a hurry.
There's not much reason to rush to that, either.
"Right.
"Master Takeo and Mr. Suzune are not satisfied, are they?
Smith says with a bitter smile.
"Me and the ringtone are happy with what we're doing.
I just have a desire to have a little more variety.
It feels fine if it's not there.
"Right."
"Mm-hmm... you don't know.
Oh, it's already the mansion, so I'm on it.
Master Takeo, Mr. Suzune, be careful.
"Yes, thank you.
"Thank you.
Smith returns to the mansion.
Takeo and the others make sure Smith enters the mansion in the distance before aiming to develop Steno technology next.
"Mr. Takeo.
"Hmm? What's up?
"No, I was wondering what kind of store Takeo is contracting right now.
"Tailors, liquor stores, wood processing, green fruit stores and uster sauces, watchmakers and prototypes, and this time the mill?
"You've got your hands full and wide.
The bell rings.
"You're all brilliant and you're happy to commercialize what I want to do.
"Are you comfortable...?
"Yes.
"If you can't do it, I'll hit the other one," I'll smile and I'll be happy to say.
I wonder why.
Oh, by the way, I'm the only one who seems to be able to use this, so you can't mouth the bell tone.
"You can't use such horrible words.
Because I'm Takeo.
If I were you, I'd just ask for it.
"... bell tone.
There is no way to do this: sales or negotiation.
No, but there's one thing for sure.
"Yes."
"Talk to the negotiator.
If this is something you can compromise, you can compromise.
But if you still want to go, have the courage to take a seat.
"Are you going to take a seat with kipper?
"Yeah. You should submit all the materials they want, or give them what they can give you from here with a proper explanation, and still end the negotiations if you want a price cut or something this one can't drink.
It doesn't make sense to continue to negotiate cheats just because we've been trying.
Those opponents probably won't compromise their opinions, so we just have to get off the negotiating table here.
So if they give up, that's it, and if they're going to compromise, you just have to renegotiate.
"It seems difficult.
The ringtone bothers me.
"Right.
So first, I asked for blackboards, etc. because I wanted to make simple negotiations, and I did...
Ringtone, is there anything else you want to make?
"Mm-hmm... I can't think of anything.
"Really?
I'll think about it, too, but if anything comes up, we'll discuss it.
"Am I negotiating that?
"Yes, I am.
"... I wish I could come up with something cheap and easy..."
Next to what Bell Sound envisions, Takeo thinks, "It can be harder to negotiate if the unit price is lower".
"With that said, could you draw an image of a pistol?
"... Takeo, what kind of pistol is in Takeo's head?
Takeo imagines a few things by saying so, but he remembers to use a bullet size for small guns, and removes cracks and small objects like the one the police officer has from his imagination, but also wonders "I want it to be about 20-30cm because I want it to be placed on my thick thigh".
"... if you're a small gun bullet size cylinder, you have to make it pretty big overall. It's kind of unbalanced.
"... I'm not going to tell you what kind of pistol you're going to use, or what you can do.
Think with the bell tone and Taylor manager.
"Ugh... it's hard.
Please give me an image of something Takeo wants.
"... right.
You want to place it on the right thigh in your work clothes and on the left side in your uniform.
"Mm-hmm... okay.
I'll think about it for a second.
The ringtone bothered me even more.
"Hmm? You're already steno-technology.
Then the ringtone, I'm hoping for a convinced drawing.
"Ugh... I draw drawings thinking of Mr. Taylor.
Okay, Takeo, excuse me.
The ringtone went back to the workshop in a slight dismay.
