After everyone had the experience of the posture while sleeping on the bed, they returned to their seats.

“Well, I still think that we chose a good one from the ones that were available.

My study set is also relatively safe.”

“It’s rounded overall and its focus is on storing books right?”

“Yes, I’ll think about the rest later.”

“Hmm, when is it expected to come?”

“The set should come by tomorrow.”

“IS that so? Then send the one that you guys are currently using back to its original room before then.”

“Certainly.”

“Let’s hear Smith’s report.”

“Yes, it’s about the conversation at the tailor shop.”

“Did you already have the conversation?

Young master Smith, you work fast.”

Takeo smiled widely.

“Yes. I just went ahead with it, I couldn’t help myself.”

“Is that so?”

Takeo smiled.

“Then, I’ll begin.

Let’s start with them deciding to provide 45 pieces per month.

Sir Takeo, your assumption was of 30 pieces per month originally and their estimate was of 28 pieces per month so they were pretty shocked.”

“Ah? So I anticipated a little more than the actual figure.”

“You were off by 2 pieces only. Sir Takeo, you have a lot of business talent.”

Alice said.

“Yes. It’s as sister says, the shop manager was surprised as well.”

“Is that so…………. but if I cannot see the first error……

I would fail at similar negotiations.”

Takeo smiled.

“Really?”
Smith asked.

“If we are able to guess and estimate the other party’s thinking then they would be drawn to our talk won’t they?

It won’t be good if you express impossible figures…………..

If you’re able to show the numbers then the way they look at you will change isn’t it?”

“Takeo’s a demon.”

“That’s what business is.

On the contrary, if you’re the opposite party then it’s best not to get overwhelmed by the numbers.

You should try and understand the minimum of the person you’re negotiating with………….and try and bring it closer to that.”

“It would be troublesome to negotiate with you, Sir Takeo.”

Fredrick sighed.

“What I’m talking about is ideal but that’s not always the case.

It’s about the range of effort.”

Takeo laughed.

“Then about Sir Takeo’s bet.

‘Either hire tailors from another tailor shop or buy out another shop entirely.’

That’s what you had said.

The manager told me that he had bought another store through the union.”

“Union……………………I see so he used an assembly. Is there no grudge?”

“The manager said so.”

“Hmm, why don’t you explain that.”

“Certainly if you use the union…………..that’s how it will be.

Did they explain the reason for the buyout and explain the ‘Trench coat’ to them and draw them in?”

“Yes. When he had explained it in front of all the tailor shop owners, all of them seemed to like your idea, Sir Takeo.

It’s been decided that 2 other tailor shops will be under the umbrella of this one currently.”

“Two………………………. perhaps this tailor shop is now the biggest force in this town.”

“What do you think Takeo?”

“We may have to create an organization that can compete with this strong force.

If they become too powerful then they could potentially lead the Elvis house by the chin.

However, growing this power at the moment will lead to the development of this town.

Issuing the contract is the first step.

We should first get the trench coat on track.”

“Sir Takeo…….. you’re a demon.”

Alice was amazed.

“I told you about it, right? My priority.

Well, we don’t need to that if the current manager will be the one handling things………..

However, when the time comes, things may change.

For the sake of the Elvis household, we must prevent any one force from dominating the city.

Well, we can think about it for 3 or 4 years from now.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“As for the second bet that you mentioned Sir Takeo.

‘The risk of expecting future orders after this.’

They are planning to sell it in wholesale at the town of Sir Goodwin through the union as a sample.”

“Hn? They went above my expectations.”

“According to the manager, they are planning to form a contract between the union of this town and the union of that town.

If counterfeits are found in that town then sanctions will be imposed.”

“……………..I see.

I guess then we should adjust our movement here as well.

Mr. Elvis, Mr. Fredrick, I have a request.”

“Hmm.”

“What is it?”

“After the confirmation of the purchase order, the commander will be ordering the trench coat right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“By the way, are you having joint recruit training the month after next?”

“Hmm……………Takeo, your request, you want the soldiers to apply?”

“Yes.

The commander and the executives have already been told but it would be good if there was an official order.

It would be good promotion to Earl Goodwin and his town.

If there is a contract between the unions, there is a high possibility of getting an order.”

“That sounds good.

I don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind either.”

Grandpa Elvis and Fredrick agreed.

“It would be great if there is a snowstorm~

Their soldiers would be shivering while ours will be completely fine.

It might be a good sight.

Ah……………………. I thought of another good thing.”

Takeo smiled brightly.

“Sir Takeo, what did you think of?”

Alice asked.

“To make a vest for a down jacket.”

“What is that?”

Alice’s face said that she didn’t understand.

“Umm……………Mr Fredrick, you’re wearing a vest, right?”

“This one?”

Fredrick removed his jacket and showed him.

“Yes. We put two of these together and fill feathers in the middle.”

“Hn? What is that for?”

“It has a very warming effect.”

“Hoo, that sounds good.”

Fredrick says.

“If you can make it thin then the cost can be reduced. It can be made with the existing ones right?

Let’s ask the tailor shop manager next time.

Since it is for the general public, the goal is one piece of silver.

The selling phrase can be……

‘Lightwork clothing’ or something like that.

From people in agriculture, forestry, or standing in a store, it’s made to retain warmth.”

Takeo smiled.

“Sir Takeo, you’re really a businessman.”

Smith said.

Alice was listening in amazement.
