Isaac

Open your Pocket (1)

Isaac laughed once at Fort Shi's meetings and was as eloquent as ever on the roof of the city hall that had turned into a semi-formal meeting room.

However, the dispatch workers, Landon, Rizzley and the three regional leaders, as well as the first ones on the campus, struggled to come up with a countermeasure for Port City.

“The problem is people's perceptions. If you fight in the same industry as Fort Shi, it's not a competition. It's urgent!”

Milena tilted her head as she spoke in a puzzled tone.

“There's still Merritt, who says she can walk in and out of the window without being embarrassed by other people's eyes. ”

Milena's experience suggests that a man soon dies building things, but not funny. So, if I could enjoy it face-to-face, it was taken for granted that the crowds were crowded, so I couldn't understand the sound of Codnell's suffering.

“That's the problem. Fort Shi has already made his move, and rumors are spreading across the upper reaches of the Empire. Now that Fort Cigar has opened its gambling den, going to Newport City is the purpose of the window, and even if you want to come and play, you can't come because of your three eyes. ”

At last, Milena's expression stiffens to see if the crisis is about to come true, but Ranburton tilts his head.

“Even if the Elves see the dealer and not a person? ”

Codnell shakes his head with a bitter look.

“Of course, there are those who would come to you curiously at first because it's practical and the Elves see the dealer. But it's hard to expect a steady stream of revenue. ”

The atmosphere sank sharply as only negative opinions continued to emerge from Codnell's mouth. I have to have a countermeasure, but no one has experience with this. Isaac, who really needs to burn his butt, felt anxious because he only took a sip of sobriety and even heard Codnell doing all the work during his disappearance.

“Hmm, so we've come up with a plan. ”

Calden, one of the three delegates from the campus, wanted to leave as the atmosphere became too heavy.

Honestly, I thought I was going to be on campus, but all I've done is finish paperwork. There, I didn't like the fact that Codnell from off-campus was taking over as a second-year disadvantage on Isaac's behalf, so I created a solution with my comrades to establish my position.

“If you think about the water prices in Port City, the main customers must be nobles. Instead of competing with Fort Shi and trying to attract the nobles, we need to divert our gaze and draw the commoners in. The Gambling Hall in Fort City is dominated by nobles, so it will be a bit burdensome for the common people to come and go. According to a recent survey, nobles rarely come to Newport City because of other people's gazes and faculties, but it's only the laymen who don't associate themselves with such gazes that they would prefer Newport City over Fort Shi Shi if it was guaranteed to be safe. ”

Surely the nobles aren't the only guests. If the common people were able to travel freely and to bring them to Newport City, it seemed to be more competitive than the expensive Port City.

Calden's suggestion brightens everyone's eyes and shakes his head with a bitter expression.

“Even if it attracts ordinary customers, it's hardly worth it. ”

“Why is that?”

“It's a difference of words. Even if a hundred civilians come and spend all their money together, it's nothing compared to coming and going as a nobleman. ”

“So we need to engage the average customer on a large scale. With events to attract customers, competitions to win big prizes, and cheap tastings of noble culture unlike anything you've ever seen, there will surely be more visitors. ”

“I'm a layman, so you'll understand. Did the people around you travel a lot? ”

“ ……. ”

Travel is a leisure life you can only do when you have time. Many have never been outside of town in their lives. The majority of those working in the industry have no choice but to leave home.

Though the world has been narrowed by the development of roads and transportation, many people have travelled on honeymoons or anniversaries, but the economic reasons for ordinary people's travel is a big decision.

“To be honest, the common people are busy eating. For them, travel is a luxury. Even if you travel for diarrhea, the expense of arriving at your destination alone is a big burden. ”

“We know the problem. So I came up with an appropriate solution. ”

According to Codnell, Calden spoke with a confident attitude. Thinking of the best solution considering all the variables and considerations when working on a job is how to emphasize Nui Nui on campus. The geographical and economic problems that Codnell mentioned have already been addressed.

“Make the most of the geographic benefits. Fort City flourishes because of its water streams across the continent. We need to use that to operate the passenger ship. ”

“…… what if it's a passenger ship? ”

“The common people don't have to come here themselves. Just like transporting supplies along a waterway, you can use the passenger ship to provide free travel to the people who want to travel. ”

In doing so, the cost of transportation for the common people is only the cost of getting to the boat.

While everyone nodded in awe of the clever idea, the top dispatchers, including Codnell, shook their heads with a bitter smile.

“That's a good point, but we have a lot of problems. ”

Calden stares at him with a slightly unpleasant look to see if he was upset as he continued to play.

“I don't know what the problem is, but I can handle it. ”

“Well, there's a problem with cost. No matter how many ordinary people stay in Newport City, if you calculate the room rate and food cost of the passenger ship, the more ordinary customers, the more money you have to cover, the more money the city can't afford. The belly button is bigger than the belly button. ”

“ ……. ”

“And there's a time and distance problem. If you sell Southern supplies directly to the North, you can make a big profit, but why should traders only trade here in Port City? because we know that trading here is more profitable in the long run than taking it in person, based on time and distance. ”

“It's all about the supplies. Aren't passengers and cargo different? ”

In retrospect, Codnell sighs deeply. I knew he was from campus administration, but he still learned about commerce, and there was a mixture of puzzles that wanted to be able to not know these basics.

“Again, it's a matter of time and distance. Even if you take a vacation in your life and think you need to take a break, you can't do it unless you quit your job for more than five days. ”

“ ……. ”

“Take Gabelin, for example, which is economically affordable. It takes about two days to get from Gabelin to here by boat. Two days to come, two days to go. Then the best holiday a layman can afford is just one day in Newport. Now, based on that cost problem, the deficit is obvious. In one day, the average people who come here live in the middle of the continent. The geographically nearby South or West of Gabelin is likely, but far north or east is unlikely. Upper class, on the other hand, has enough economic power and time to enjoy their leisure lives. So that means that the high-net-worth are the high-net-worth. ”

“ ……. ”

“And finally, this is the biggest problem, but why would the commoners come to Newport until they're so overwhelmed? ”

“Why?”

“As I said, it costs the average citizen an incredible amount of money to travel. So most people who travel spend a lot of time saving up to celebrate a meaningful day in their lives, and most people who have that much economic power are responsible for their families, so of course they move on family level. But what does a united family do in a city of gambling and pleasure? ”

“ ……. ”

“Of course, there are some people who don't have families yet, but are also self-sufficient, but they are more likely to have connections than Newport City. ”

It was an unexpected point.

Calden admits that the way they thought they were perfect was futile, and admits to being an inexperienced child. He sits down with a frown on his face, refuting whether the Transter wants to lose his pride or take his last action.

“We made a rash move anyway, and I admit it was sloppy. But I think it's quite possible to take the time to tackle the issues Mr. Codnell has mentioned and develop tourism products for families! ”

Codnell nods, empathetic. Such a business is difficult to achieve in the short term. Attract customers by providing intensive investment, ongoing public relations and services and convenience.

“But that time is not on our side. ”

As Codnell glances at Isaac, his gaze is directed at Isaac, who is listening to him quietly.

Despite the instant's attention, Isaac said after a puff of smoke without any embarrassment.

“We continue to work according to the method suggested by our successor. ”

“To?”

Codnell points out the problem with Isaac's sudden decision, and Calden looks at him with a frantic look. As you were slaughtered, your plan revealed the full extent of the problem, and you decided to implement it.

Codnell stood up and shouted with a dazed look on his face.

“Absolutely not! ”

“Why?”

“Why? What have you been hearing?! ”

Even Rizli squirms at the flame throwing out of his mouth with a blushed face, but Isaac stares at him with a pathetic look.

“You told me to go after the kids to open the parents' wallets, go after the girls to open the boys' wallets, and go after vanity to open the girls' wallets. ”

“... I've never heard of such a truth. ”

“Yes, I made it. But it still makes sense, right? ”

“Kuaak!”

You joked about Isaac's words, and managed to get your fellow dispatchers to rush to stop him from exploding.

Codnell, who was barely angry for a long time, said, rubbing his temper against the itchy temples.

“You must have thought of a way to say that, right? ”

“If you don't think the common people deserve to come, just make it worth it. A city everyone wants to hang out in at least once. Make it a city I want to come back to. ”

“So how do we do that? ”

“Have you heard of the host business? ”
