nBoth Sam and Chaya are sitting at the table across each other.

n

"Artisan Chaya, how much do you think my invention is worth?

" Chaya went silent for a minute and said.

n

"It is no problem to sell it for five thousand spirit stones. But if you can increase the amount of energy stored and some other modifications, we can even sell it for more.

" As soon as Chaya spoke, Sam took out another arm guard.

nThis arm guard is a bit different. The energy cell isn't circular in colour. There are two red bright cells in cuboidal shape which are inserted along the length of the arm guard.

nWhen Chaya saw this, she was even more dumbfounded. She didn't think that he could even use the elemental energy.

n

"Artisan Sam, how many designs do you have and what type of elements can you provide?

" She is down to get this business. If she could partner with Sam and use this special product as main product of the store and sell it, the rest of the products will also easily be sold, without any problem. The publicity itself is enough to make their business success.

n

"Right now, I can only make two type of elemental energies. Fire and Wind. Other than that, I can only make the neutral ones. As for energy capacity and shape, we can talk about that later. Right now, we will only produce the two types you have seen.

"

n

"These two are enough, the elemental ones can be sold for more than five times the price.

"

nShe is very enthusiastic.

n

"Since, you are okay with it, can we discuss other products. These aren't the only ideas I have.

" As Sam said that he took out a bunch of scrolls from his storage.

nChaya immediately got excited and started listening to Sam.

nAfter more than three hours they finally, discussed all types of special products Sam wanted to place in the shop.

n

"There will be different sections in the shop. We will be letting the customers look at the products themselves and decide to what they want to buy.

nYour, Artisans will produce their own products and will place them according to the sections.

nThe sections will be like Archery section, Sword section, Sabre section, Spear section, Armor section. If you want, you can even use the other products from Tailor Artisans and others.

nThe normal products will have a large stock, but the smaller amounts will have a limited stock.

nThe energy cell products will be sold only once a week and the number of products will be limited.

nSo, can we talk about the dividends.

" Sam said as he looked at Chaya.

n

"You can tell me your requirements, if it is okay with me, I will not object it.

"

n

"I will be responsible for buying the place, and I will provide the products with the energy cells and special products I told you about. All I need is some assistants. You are responsible for providing the materials, required. You are responsible for the production of the normal weapons. You can take all the revenue from your weapons and I won't interfere, from my products I will give you twenty percent of the revenue.

"

nChaya went into deep contemplation. They are responsible for providing raw materials and they can do that because, their supply channels are high and can really do so. Even though, the forging process will be taxing in Sam due to his special products. But twenty percent still seemed to be a bit low.

n

"Artisan Sam, don't you think that twenty percent is a bit low?

"

n

"Artisan Chaya, do you know why I am even giving you twenty percent? Because of the status of Artisan tower. The Artisan tower can have a lot of say in weapon business. But you couldn't make it a success. Why do you think this is happening?

nBecause, you have been too conservative. The Artisan tower didn't focus on the business at all. Their main income is still the ore supply and the fee you get from the tests and tuition fee you get from the candidates.

nYou focus too much on these things and neglect the business and fail to think of making profits from it. And your business location is within the Artisan tower. Do you think that normal people will dare to come to the tower to buy weapons?

nYour production volume isn't much less compared to the other shops, but your tower portrays that someone of status can only approach it. And you also think that it is beneath you to reach out like other family shops to sell your products.

nBut now, I am going to use your Artisan tower status to increase the market value. That is why I agreed to give you twenty percent.

nThe most important thing is, I am only using cheapest of materials. Even though, my products cost a lot, they will only be using materials of rank 1 and rank 2 and that too very cheap one. After all, my products are mostly consumables.

nSo, if the production is maintained properly and demand is met, the revenue will be quite high. Twenty percent will be a lot higher than the cost of materials you are providing.

"

nSam explained in detail without giving Chaya any chance to retort or argue. She could only sigh and agree. This opportunity is too good to reject.

nThey shook hands in agreement and Sam took out some scrolls and passed it to her.

n

"I will be working on getting the shop ready. For proper production, I need this equipment ready. Even though most of the figures don't make any sense to you, don't think too much and make them according to the requirements that I mentioned on the scroll.

" Sam said as he placed a storage ring on the table.

nHe said his farewells and went out of the tower. His first step to set his business successfully is completed.

nOne could ask, why Sam is doing this just to get back at a small fry like Zeke. His main target isn't just taking down Zeke rather, he wants to make an example out of Zeke.

nSince, came to this world, many people have provoked him time and again. Now, he must spend a long time in this Marquis city. He doesn't wish to be disturbed by these guys when he stays here. So, he came a month earlier and make a declaration that he isn't a soft permission.

nSam floated on his hover board as he went to the business zone. He stopped at Zeke's weapon store.

nHe observed the surroundings and saw that the area is full of weapon stores, but the business of the other stores isn't good at all.

nZeke's shop stole the major part of the business. The title of Marquis' son isn't just for show. Sam walked to the store opposite to the Zeke's store.

nThe store's manager was ecstatic when he saw Sam coming to the store. This is the first customer in a long time.

n

"Welcome, Welcome. How may I help you?

" the shop owner asked as soon as he entered the store.

n

"I want to buy something.

" Sam said.

n

"Oh, what do you want to buy?

"

n

"Your store.

" The shop owner was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the person is here to buy the store instead of the products. Looking at the silent shop owner, Sam asked.

n

"100,000 spirit stones. I want your store.

" When Sam finished saying, the store came out of his daze and said.

n

"Deal.

" Sam suddenly felt that he spent too much.

nThe shop owner was so happy. After Zeke started his business, he is already making losses. Every shop except the ones that belonged to the noble families. He tried to sell his store and leave this city. But nobody is willing to buy his store and 100,000 is a significant amount and will let him start his own business in other city or he can just start doing another business in this city itself.

nSam finished dealing with the deed and went to the next shop. And the next stop.

nAfter buying off the four shops, he started thinking of how to renovate this place. After some thought, he took out his communication token and called Chaya. They exchanged the contact info.

n

"Sam, what do you want? I already assigned someone to finish the designs you gave me.

"

n

"I want ask, does your tower have Architect Artisans?

"

n

"Of course. We have three of them. Even though, this profession isn't very popular here, we still have it in our tower.

"

n

"Okay, I need them for a project. Send them to Zeke's shop. I have my board with me, they can recognise me easily.

"

nAfter hanging up, Sam waited there and after fifteen minutes the three Artisan architects came.

nSam greeted them and started explaining, on how to renovate the three stores. First thing they must do is, that they must remove the divisions in between the stores and combine them.

nAfter explaining everything, he paid an advance to the three of them and went back to his Mansion.

nMeanwhile, the Marquis is having a headache.

nWhen he came to know the rumours that Zeke has started, he didn't know how to react. For some reason, all the know that the info is from Zeke himself.

nNow, he clearly understood that his son was responsible for the withdrawal of the two cities. Before, he could go and confront his son about this, he heard another thing.

nThe new rank 5 Artisan is making a commotion in the city. Particularly, he is targeting his eldest son. But the public doesn't know about this and are panicking. They are getting an impression that the new Artisan is psychopath who likes torturing people.

nHe wanted to meet the new artisan directly on the day of his arrival itself. But he couldn't due to the arrangements for special branch.

nBut his idiot son seemed to have offended the artisan.

nWhen he is thinking on how to salvage the situation and wanted to get more information from Zeke, his first wife, Zeke's mother already came to him demanding an explanation.

nShe is demanding him to investigate and talk to the rank 5 Artisan and demanded an explanation from him on why he is targeting her son.

n

"Are you going to do it or not?

" Zara, Zeke's mother is shouting at Marquis. Due to constant pestering he lost his cool and shouted back.

n

"Do you think that your son did something that can be solved easily? The other party is rank 5 Artisan. Do you think that he is so free and has a lot of time to waste on your son? I need to investigate it properly and know what has happened, before deciding what to do. Until then, don't you dare pester me.

"

nAfter saying his piece, Marquis left the room. He already sent someone to investigate who this artisan is and why is he doing this.

n
