In the end, the consent of the two shareholders was mounted even though the struggle was quite difficult.

Now we can say that the management's vision for the future is the same.

All we have to do is move the business forward based on the plan.

Back at the office, Sarah greeted me.

"How'd it go? Did it work?

She asks me a little worried. Well, if you come in with a wrinkle on your forehead, will you be worried too?

"Fair enough. I guess they managed to put a collar on the wolf's neck."

"I don't know, that's a terrible way to put it. Was it that dangerous?

"Sort of. Stay away from Goulzin, he'll bite you."

Answer that and then stare at Sarah's face somewhat jiggly.

Maybe you're wondering what Swiberry told you earlier.

"What? Something on your face?

Sarah strokes her cheeks with both hands.

"No, it's nothing. Have you been home lately?

"Yeah? I'm home. We're all happy because we're getting paid more."

Right. Well, sure, Sarah's made a few times as much money these days as the average adventurer.

As an adventurer who came out of the city eating up in the countryside, I'd say it's a category of successful people.

Are you taking home what you earned that way?

"Let's go to your parents' house for once."

Somehow, speaking, Sarah wandered invisibly.

"Huh!? No, I'm glad, but why?

"Sarah takes care of me, and I want to see what's going on in the countryside"

That said, Sarah, who was upset, seems to have recovered a little.

"Oh, yeah. It's just that there's been a lot of work lately, and the festival's eating good bread."

"Right. That's good."

"Yeah."

"Hey, you like bread?

"Love it!"

"Right. I hope there's a world where everyone can eat bread every day."

"Right. I hope that day comes."

I was somewhat unwilling to work that day, and if I had blurred out my earlier plans while sipping the tea Sarah had brewed me, the sun would have completely set.

Work was started on revising the business plan from the next day.

Even if we multiply shoe production by ten in three years, we can't borrow money from banks with business plans in this world.

The only way to do this is to borrow funds directly as finance by collateralizing shoe production, but the people with heads that just understand the value of shoes are the ones who can't help but want to talk to the business.

When a large number of these people come in, it is visible that horizontal spears go into the basic policy of selling shoes in large quantities at low prices.

To avoid that, it is necessary to consolidate the business base in the short term.

Three years should be set aside as a long-term plan and the one-year medium-term plan should be modified to be conservative.

Firstly, we shall have three policies as basic policies.

1.1 No additional funding will be provided for one year.

2. Refrain from investments that do not generate funds in the short term, like land and buildings.

3. Early development and production of shoes for churches

Draw up specific plans based on this policy.

It is the difference between dreamers and practitioners of mouth alone that separates long-term visions from long-term plans, whether they can concretely set medium-term goals and medium-term business plans.

This is where my arms look.
