Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 197: Church Work

The normalization of distribution by street merchants has left me with a lot of money on hand.

This funding will decrease due to falling demand for guardian shoes and lower prices, but that's still a long way to go, and as far as I'm concerned, I want to calm down prices.

The important thing is, as a guardian shoemaker, to continue to manufacture large quantities of shoes at a constant pace and to offer them to adventurers.

Stable supply for a long period of time will reassure customers, and the intermediate merchants responsible for distribution will support the business in the long term.

A relationship of trust cannot just be demanded by one party. This one also has to build a relationship of trust by building a track record with the intermediate merchants in charge of distribution.

What the company (of which) should accumulate is the continuous supply of excellent products.

Doing so may bring down profits per foot gradually, but it is hoped that the intercity merchants will increase the size of the business by repeating the convergence.

We expect businesses to come out after profits of scale and benefits of scale.

As long as the business environment for this shoe is stable, a major distribution merchant will always be created.

That's how I want the distribution industry to change from adventurous beating business to stable work.

It's a long way to go, but if we don't support and nurture the distribution industry in that way, the company (of which) will also have trouble in the long run.

I also want the Intercity Merchants to understand that commerce (business) is not a zero-sum game where someone loses money when they gain, but a win-win game where the benefits of working with each other are greater.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Return to the business plan for the Church as the issue of the distribution of interstate merchants has come to a close.

The prototype of shoes for pioneering businesses was completed and the business plan became much easier as the revenue from the business increased dramatically.

That said, I've never been able to make a profit from the early days with a single shoe business for pioneering businesses.

Priest Nicolo has moved to another city about the Cardinals, so it will be months before he can speak directly.

I guess the Count and I are working vigorously to accommodate funds to another nobleman.

High priests, like the Cardinal, have high credibility. With high credit, funds can be raised at low interest rates. Loan funds raised at low interest rates thus to noble pioneering operators whose trust is inferior to their own. In doing so, the Cardinal can earn Rizaya, the nobility can raise funds at lower interest rates than he can raise on his own, and lighten the interest rate burden on the enormous amount of money needed for the cause.

Assuming that nobility can no longer return the loan, there is no problem. Because if you are an organization as powerful as the Church, you have no difficulty with the power necessary to take it, and if you are an object of taking it, you have no shortage of noble property.

You can buy away the privilege of becoming noble gold, such as the right to tax crops, the right to use port facilities and the head taxes from citizens.

However, the church scratches its authority when it takes debt directly, so there are collaborators of big merchants to take it up and cash it out. However, the owners of the great merchant are discouraged by the great nobility and the church.

Even if the world changes, it can be gained by those who hold great capital and power.

Priest Nicolo, as the Cardinal's Scarf in that world, continues to be active in earning Church funds.

My stomach hurts when I think I have to come up with a business plan that just convinces the cutter.

Fortunately, Priest Nicolo is absent, but Michelino Sacrifice seems to remain in this city.

With my shoe prototype and my absurd business plan, I decided to visit the Michelino Auxiliary Festival where I would stay in the living building that accompanied the cathedral in 1st Precinct.

Because I want to explore what Michelino Sacrifice feels like before his production presentation to Priest Nicolo.

By the way, Anne didn't say she was coming with me this time.

He didn't like it as much as he didn't see the Cardinal on his last visit.
