Let's Manage The Tower

Along with reports that the increase in the divine engraver had been decided, Sarasa added yet another report.

"Then the current east-west, south-west, and north-west transition gates were multiplied."

The meeting attendees were at a loss for this.

More or less, it means an intention to welcome.

They are expected to further increase circulation due to an increase in transfer gates.

Conversely, the look of sighing and giving up is a relinquishment of getting busy.

Of course, all of us here are merchants.

There is no one who does not welcome this change, which we know will increase profits.

Although the plan is to double the number of transfer gates this time, it is not intended to further increase the number of transfer gates where the transfer gates are originally installed, but to be located close to the ports of each town.

We hope that by installing it close to the port, the gateway to other continents, we will be able to use it specifically for logistics.

In addition, it is also expected that the original transfer gate, which has been used to mix logistics and people movement, will be able to move more people as logistics moves to the new transfer gate.

In fact, it is unknown how well divided it is, but at least the cost of moving things to the harbor can be reduced as before.

From what I've seen so far, it doesn't seem to have any disadvantages for the Crown, but it doesn't.

The biggest one is the usage fee for the transfer gate.

"Is there any change in user fees as the number of transfer gates increases?

The person in charge of distribution asked Sarasa that.

Currently, the rights holders of the transfer gate are to be held by Razek Amamiya.

It's no wonder that all the transfer gates installed are gathered on the fifth floor, where the capital of Razek Amamiya is located.

Rather than the Crown, it is Razek Amamiya who controls access to the fifth floor.

It hasn't changed since it was the administrative organization that was the predecessor of the state called Razek Amamiya.

As a result, the Crown is paying Razek Amamiya a large fee to use the transfer gate.

From Razek Amamiya's point of view, the Crown is a large customer using the transfer gate.

When asked by the person in charge, Sarasa shook her head.

"There's no official communication yet. I can only say now that it's probably the same as before."

Really?

"It's up to Razek Amamiya to decide."

That's true, too.

The user fee for the transfer gate is now how much per person for movement and how much per volume for logistics.

That won't change a lot, but there may be minor price changes.

Royalties that have been the same everywhere in the Central Continent have fluctuated.

For Crowns whose transfer gate usage fees are included in Crown operating costs, the transfer gate usage fees are the most sensitive part.

Especially in the merchant sector, where royalties can be included in the selling price as a cost, it can be a headache for the adventurer sector, where the movement of people is a prerequisite.

However, since the fifth floor is a city that cannot be built without adventurers, royalties are quite favourable for adventurers.

But it's not entirely free, so there's a pretty low price.

You don't have to pay royalties if you have a Crown Card, it's just adventurers who belong to the Crown and the Crown is replacing them.

Although it is unlikely that the Crown will collapse due to the usage fee of the transfer gate, there is no doubt that it is still a significant cost for the Crown to operate.

However, this is subject to the condition that the previous rates are maintained.

Suddenly doubling the price makes it difficult for the crown, no matter how hard it is for the boulder.

Razek Amamiya can't be so reckless, but it is a minimum necessity to run the organization with the worst assumptions.

If we double the transfer gate usage fee, we will definitely reduce people's access to the tower first.

Even people belonging to the Crown, except adventurers, are not allowed to enter and exit the tower at their own expense due to movement at the transfer gate.

If we lose access to the tower and the outside world, there is no doubt that the development of the fifth tier city will slow down.

Even if only objects and adventurers enter and leave, there is no prospect of significant development.

Razek Amamia, who is naturally familiar with this, cannot do such a response.

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Razek Amamiya is also a people-run organization.

Suddenly, operational policies can change dramatically.

It is important to think carefully about how to respond to this.

"So, the installation of a new transfer gate means he's moving too?

One of the conference participants asked Sarasa that.

"Of course. I heard you through."

I see.

Many nodded convincingly to Sarasa's answer.

Even though it is Razek Amamiya who controls the transfer gate, everyone here knows that it is only the administrator, the real god, who installs it.

You can't set up a transfer gate on your own, ignoring the gods of the present.

In that sense, both the Kingdom of Razek Amamiya and the Crown have grown up benefiting greatly from the gods of the present world.

Of course, both may be described as sibling organizations because they are mostly organizations started by human gods.

Of course, the contents are very different.

"... if you show me what's stuck, he'll always help you."

Some people laughed bitterly at some executives.

Beyond the headquarters in the tower, it is natural to rely on administrators for operations, but for the Crown's merchant division in particular, there are many other types of help.

It is mainly about the production of magic equipment.

In the first place, the materials that can be taken from the tower can only be sold because there are products that use them.

It is magic equipment that is often used for monster materials in these products.

The administrator, Kowske God, has created innovative magical instruments one after the other, which have greatly benefited the crown that sells them.

Even though it has grown rapidly, it is indispensable for the merchant division to be able to operate stably so far.

From the point of view of the Crown, Kowske God is the god of adventurers and the god who creates innovative magical instruments.

Schmidt sighed at the executive's words.

"You shouldn't rely on him for management forever, but it's not interesting to bother giving away anything else he made."

"Rather, I don't think Kaisuke-san has thought about that at all.

Sarasa returned to Schmidt's voyaki with her face open.

I know that Schmidt has met with Kaiseki many times before.

Even if it is said that it is a magic instrument, Kaiseki will give the Crown the right to sell the magic instrument developed.

As long as the opponent was God, I didn't know how long the relationship would last, but it was Schmidt who wanted it to last forever if possible.
