Explain the plan to Eina, who said she was going to sell the box to me with a strange look on her face.
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Listella about the exact size, but a box big enough to hold it alone like this and a box big enough for both of us. In the meantime, we need to decide on two types of standards to mass produce."
"What is standard......?
Oh, does this world still have the concept of standards......
"Standards mean something like the size and specifications that become the standard. Wooden boxes of the same size, vertical, horizontal, and height, can be stacked without gaps when loaded in carriages or in warehouses, and are resistant to collapse and stable."
…………
Eina seems to be thinking about something, but let's just keep explaining. What I imagine is the original world courier.
"I'm going to use that box of standards to do the shipping business. How much for one all-you-can-pack contents? Add a fee to it depending on the distance to your destination to get it to the specified location. In the beginning, you will do it between major cities, but if you put a luggage tag on it properly, you can load multiple people's luggage in one carriage, and you can use a little free space in other carriages, so I think it will be surprisingly commercial..."
"... Yoichi, why didn't you tell me that story sooner!
Eina, who was thinking with a difficult look, suddenly shouts out loud.
"In the battle ahead, how much effort did it take to distribute the food in the bag, the oil in the pod, the spare arrow bundle (yataba) and various other supplies to the carriage considering the weight, shape, and stack... wouldn't weight be the only thing that would bother you with a box of standards!
Mr. Eina, you seem angry and your eyes are half crying.
I've been looking very busy since I was in the Grand Duke getting ready for battle......
"I'm sorry about that, it's been tough..."
"... No, I'm sorry about this one. A little disturbed......"
It must have been so hard for that Eina to mess up.
However, I think what Eina is thinking is not a courier, but something close to container transport.
That's a kind of standardization, too.
When Eina coughed up and regained her mind, she uttered words again.
"I believe that the boxes of standard products Yoichi said are very useful objects. I don't know if I'll succeed as a business, but I was wondering if I could talk to Listy afterwards. I'm here on business, too, so I'll be there in no time."
Oh, I appreciate that. After all, it's Mr. Listella's share when it comes to business, isn't it?
"Yoichi, by the way. I would like to introduce the idea of this standard into other areas as well, how much should I pay for the patent fee you mentioned earlier?
"Uh, can I have it?
"Isn't that natural? Before the patent system, I was a Western subordinate. There's no way my men can do anything to offend my husband."
... Eina, you're seriously going to be my subordinate.
"Uh............... what about calculating the profits gained from standardization and a tenth of that?
"I understand. We will make sure to deliver it annually as soon as we introduce it."
"Regards"
I don't know how much it will be, but the prospect of additional income (rarely) stood.
It's unclear how much more will be added to the plan before it takes an overwhelming amount of money, but it must be thankful anyway.
The rest is how well the business of fate works.
I waited for the day when Listella would come, thinking about the plan...
The moon changed and April 2nd.
Here in the south, in Ausal, we had a pleasant spring season, when we also heard the good news that the whole of the former Kingdom of Sidal had been calmed. I suddenly got a call from Eina.
As usual, when I accompanied my sister and Rhina to visit (not) Eina's office, what was there was Listella, who solidified herself in horseback riding clothes. My bright brown hair is a little dusty (dusty) and dusty, so I guess I really just got there.
"Yoichi, it's been a while"
Mr. Listella looks at me and lowers his head on one knee.
"Hey, stop it!
It's picturesque and so cool, but not very good for my mental health.
Mr. Listella gets up with my words and he's dazzled. Then I smiled a little flirtatious, people-loving.
I was just teased...... is it?
When I'm looking at the situation, I hear Eina.
"My business is done. Yoichi wants to talk to Listy, right?
If you look closely, Listella has a thick bundle of paper in her hand that looks like she can turn it into a pillow.
Mr. Listella is one of Eina's most trustworthy and very competent people, so I guess she's been asked to do a lot of things. I'm asking for Mr. Elves, too.
I'm sorry I seem busy, but I need to talk to you about something.
"Mr. Listella, I'm actually going to start a new business. I would like your advice, if you like, and cooperation to the extent possible…"
"Is it a new business! Of course, if it's an order from your employer, we'll take precedence over trouble from Eina!
Mr. Listella opens his hands, says so in a deliberate and overbearing gesture, and turns his gaze to Chilari and Eina.
And you must have seen Aina aim to get a slightly sinister look while doing her paperwork. Loosen your expression with pleasure and turn to me again.
"So, what kind of business are you thinking?
"Oh, yeah......"
Eina's relationship with Listella is the perfect way to really say she's your best friend, right?
It even looks like close students to each other looking at someone who has now become number two, close to the top of an unlimited number of countries that unite half the continent, and the head of the largest chamber of commerce in that country.
It's very flattering, but you can't watch it all the time and be neat.
I changed my mind and told Listella about the new box of commerce and standards...
