Chapter 124: A Tour of the Workshop

“Wasn’t that a bit much considering future business?”

Leada muttered to Tauro when they were alone after the business meeting.

“Considering the performance of the product, I think it will sell well even if the price is set higher, so I think we can both agree without discounting.”

Tauro wiped away Leada’s worries.

“I’m sorry, I’ve never sold so many items to a large trading company before, so I was kind of worried.”

For Leada, the fact that a small trading company in the countryside could do business on equal terms with a large trading company in a big city seemed like a lie.

Behind this, the fact that they had already done business with the Garfish trading company was to some extent a check on the other Trading companies.

If the Garfish trading company of the Royal Capital, which had a lot of momentum, would go to the trouble of trading with a small merchant company, there was no way that the merchants of O’Circus, which was also a business town, wouldn’t be interested in the deal.

When Kishiwanda heard the rumors about the product, they knew that Garfish would already be behind it and decided to make a deal.

For the Kishiwanda chamber, it was also a way to control the Garfish trading company since they had not yet established a branch in this city.

The deal was also a way for the merchants to keep each other’s territory in mind.

Leada and Tauro visited several workshops introduced by the Kishiwanda trading company.

The purpose was to establish a manufacturing base in the city of O’circus.

As expected of the second largest city after the Royal Capital, many of the workshops are large in scale as well as in technical capabilities.

This time, however, we decided to make a contract with a few workshops that have the technology but are smaller in scale.

This is because large companies tend to have business with large companies and give priority to them.

Even if we were introduced by the Kishiwanda trading company, the fact that we came later and are a small trading company, they would have too little trust on our achievements, credibility, or track record to be taken seriously.

On the other hand, a small workshop would accept a request from a small trading company, and when they heard that the supplier was the kishiwanda trading company, they were eager to do business with us in the future.

It was a mutually beneficial contract.

When I showed a sample of the refrigerator to the craftsmen at the workshop where we had signed a contract, they all said.

“I must say, it’s quite well made for a country workshop…”

The craftsmen were impressed as they looked at every corner.

“Basically, we’ll send you the core part, which is manufactured by a workshop that has a special contract with us, so that you can fit it to complete the work.”

“Great. We’ll do that then. Now, about this seam…”

The craftsmen immediately started asking questions about the technology, which Tauro answered and explained in detail.

“! That’s amazing, Bozu! I didn’t know you were a craftsman too!”

The craftsmen were even more surprised when Tauro, a young boy, didn’t only explain the details of the technique, but actually showed them how to do it.

“A child prodigy appears!”

Tauro was bombarded with questions from the craftsmen, but he reminded them that it was okay to use the technology elsewhere, but that they should keep it to themselves.

“Of course, techniques are the life of a craftsman, and if you teach them to others for free, you will lose your job. Hahaha!”

With that, the craftsmen immediately began to imitate Tauro’s example and worked hard to learn the techniques.

The day after the business deal was concluded.

As on the previous day, Tauro was to go around the workshop and give simple instructions on how to make refrigerators.

In the meantime, Leada wanted to look around the city to find something that might give her an idea for a business, so she decided to go around the city with Shin and Rumeya as her guards, just as a precaution.

Aeris didn’t go with them, but stayed with Tauro and watched the work from his side.

The craftsmen were impressed at the sight.

“We can’t keep Bozu’s’ girlfriend waiting, so lets just learn it and get it done!”

The craftsmen were strangely motivated and under Tauro’s guidance, they mastered the skills necessary to make a refrigerator.

“Okay, you two, we’ll finish it as soon as we can! Go and spend your lunch time on your date.”

“It’s not like that! Men are so quick to say things like that!”

Aeris was overreacting, but the Craftsmen tried to calm her down.

“That’s enough!”

I was so unfaithful.

Stop it, craftsmen, I’m the one who has to put her in a good mood afterwards.

Tauro thought inwardly, but he didn’t want to say anything because Aeris would get angry again if he did.
