The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"So... what exactly is the way?

There was also a paragraph for dinner that was all kinds of boring. Erica speaks to Kota, who moistened her throat (while at the same time being looked at with the same eyes as Emili sees her parents' revenge) while having her tea very similar to tea filled with tea.

"It's hard inside to be specific...... right. Shall we start with" Business Collapse "?"

That said, when I put the cup I had on the table, Kota turns back to Erica.

"As a company… well, it can be a state or a territory… Anyway, there are roughly only two factors that make the management of some community more painful"

"Two? Just?

"Generally, though. There are only two external and internal factors."

"... it's... well, yeah"

"Currently, Terra territory faces mainly due to internal factors. Major industries that support their finances while crops are less likely to grow. There's a saying," Oblique Yang Industry is the Major Industry, "but... that's exactly it."

"... Yeah, you're right. The tidy winds don't really grow the crops cleverly. Terra's been facing this chronic problem ever since."

"... if it's a difficult question to answer, I'm afraid."

"Fine."

"The fundamental question is what, why did Mr. Erica become the lord of this land? If you were the king's sister, would you have had a little more... 'good' place to say what?

"Right. But on the contrary, shouldn't a land like this be given to royalty?

"... and say?

"It is customary for territorial gifts to be given by Arbitrage Awards. Would you be happy to be awarded such a" land that has not been able to produce crops since history "in a merit award?

"... distant harassment, I think"

"There is no territory to give me in vain, which would have been an instrument of political marriage if it had been. If so, I'd rather give it to Terra in the direct jurisdiction... well, it's a ploy around Lotte."

"Mr. Lotte, is it?"

With Kota's head, one way or another, I think of a favorable Lotte face. I see. Oh, I see. Is it quite tanuki?

"... most obviously 'Tanuki' because I don't see 'yes'"

"Did I say something?

"No. Thank you. We're a little out of line, so I'll get back to it. First of all, I think it's understandable that this terra is a land where no crops grow."

"Right. I've even tried growing crops on salty land... medium."

"I don't go too clever," he said?

"You grow up to grow up... but you can't sell much."

"... I see"

Kota has no agricultural knowledge, but he understands the problem well… or has experience.

"... that's a typical failure, it's"

"... what do you mean?

"In the event of a significant deficit in the mainstream part of management, there are generally three actions taken by managers. One is a reduction in fixed costs."

"Reduce fixed costs?

"Reduce your salary, return the land you owe... after that, reduce your relationship, huh?

Labor, real estate rental and entertainment expenses account for a considerable weight among the fixed costs… rather than a harder item to reduce. It's not easy to retard, and I quit renting land because my management is in danger, and I can't normally do anything about it. There is also an annual contract. As for entertainment and social expenses...

"... to some extent, we need to get along."

"I understand that. I'm noble."

Here's the thing.

"... so? What about the other two?

"One is to increase the sales of the business itself. Increase productivity and sell a lot of things, or add value to the product itself and increase the unit price of the product."

The former is thinly profitable and the latter is a value-added commercial practice. but

"... is that the way I did it?

"No."

Did you talk too much, Hota looks like tea I put on the table... mouth on the tea modoki again.

"What Erica did was enter the neighboring industry."

"Neighboring industry?

"Yep. Agriculture, in the sense of the word, goes into the same industry, which means increased sales. What... If you grew a crop you hadn't grown before, you would go into the neighboring industry..."

That's what I said, one sigh.

"… Often entering neighbouring industries fails"

"Really?

"Yes."

Adjacent industries are those that are adjacent to the main business as if they were read. Construction, for example. When building things, the construction and real estate industries tend to be closely related, and this relationship is called 'neighbouring', because they will always be built on the ground, or on land, unless they are built on the sea or even floated in the air like a castle in the sky.

"But... if you're going into the neighboring industry, do you feel like you're going to be smart?

"Many managers think so, and it is generally the norm to enter the neighboring industry first if you are going to work concurrently. It's" next door "anyway. Because it's easier to detect and understand trends in the industry itself than it is to stay away."

"So... why do they often fail?

"Adjacent industries are certainly easy to enter. On the other hand, management tends to be overconfident that 'I know it well'. Besides, the lawn next door seems blue for some reason... 'Success!' And I tend to get into it without much certainty."

……

Erica's gaze swims, too, because I have something to think about. I did think, 'Why don't we make a crop that can even be made in a sea breeze' and mass-produced that crop...

"Understanding the market is fundamental in the basics. Making things you can't sell doesn't make a big difference to making garbage."

"... ok"

"One more thing. Sure, there are a lot of managers and companies that have been successful in entering neighboring industries, but they don't do that during the so-called" valley "period. When profits are being made in the main business, we get into neighboring industries to the extent that we can cover deficits. If all of a sudden you enter an industry that you're not so familiar with, and you have a deficit enough to improve the management of your business at once, the billionaire is the one who was originally in that industry."

"... you're right."

A bite of tea modoki with a bitter face, Erica in her mouth. When you put that cup on the table with an elegant trick, you point your gaze at the coater.

"So... what specific measures do you have?

I get that kind of gaze that I expect, and as usual, the coater looks at me shoulder to shoulder.

"It won't come out that easy."

Gagged at the words, Erica disowned the princess. Eventually he turns the color of his gaze into a resentful sole and stares at the coater.

"... you."

"You've just been asked. Now if Pawn and I had an idea, I'd look good... but that's not going to happen."

"That's... I bet you are"

Erica looks disgruntled.

"Anyway, I've made some discoveries today. The willingness of managers to improve, there are some recreational assets here and the possibility of asset restitution..."

Take a breath.

"After that... let's quit farming."

"... eh"

"Oh, oh! Shh, sorry! It's not like I'm at least! Instead, it was good to do and see! Anyway, I tried to fail, and I have something to learn! It turns out we're not going to farm anymore! That means you don't have to spend any more money on agriculture!

"Oh, yeah?

"Yes! Well... it's best to detect failure without doing it"

……

……

"... hey"

"Yes?

"Do you... have any grudges against me?

"Oh, you're not. Oh, no."

"... what's the real deal?"

"... well, I'll treat managers who are serious about making improvements with 'genuine'. You're rude, otherwise."

"... what, it"

"Policy, is it?

Saying that again, take a sip of tea modoki. Drink till the end of the cup.

"... Excuse me, but if you really want to make improvements, I will also say tough things. Whether you are royal, aristocratic, or the greatest man in this territory... that has nothing to do with it. So... if you think that's offensive, you should quit asking me for advice right now"

Come on, what do you want to do? and.

"... superior."

With challenging eyes, Erica returns without losing to Kota, who turns a challenging gaze.

"I'm not going to flip any more foreword than I did once in my mouth. Precisely, scold me. Instead, do your best. I'm not telling you to be successful. Always do your best."

"... as you say, princess"

As if it were a knight's vow.

To Kota, who bows his head divinely, Erica nodded and showed one satisfactorily.
