185 5.74 5 New Production Lines And 2 New Acquaintances! (1/2)
We had reached the pottery and peered in, asking for the manager. He came and welcomed us to his showroom and was offered a seat so as to discuss the upcoming project for them.
”So what can I for you, gentleman. Would you like to place the same orders or you would take a look at other designs?”
”Kind owner, we would like to order the porcelain ware that we were been supplied by your fine factory. It would be of the same design but there is a change for the product. Here it looks like and we would like to order these at the same quantity...”
I showed the owner of the top view of the cover of the porcelain ware and the top was 'Fasuto Japan' and in the centre was in 'POMADE', while the bottom would be 'KabushikiGaisha'.
”Ah, this would be quite easy since I would follow the same design as your Hamigachiko and only change it to 'POMADE' instead. The same price for the same quantity I reckon?”
”Yes, that's right. You may start delivering in a week's time. There's no hurry because the warehouse is not ready yet. It would be ready by next week and fully functional by the next few days. We just need to get everything ready before we start.”
”That's good planning, Masters. We're sure you have a good understanding of handling matters at hand.”
We thanked him and went to the glassblowers' factory next. When we reached there, we asked for the manager and was ushered to the showroom that we had been the other day.
The manager stood up from his armchair and invited us to sit across him.”What can we do for you, this time Master's? Your glassware for the 'Pinatt Subata' is ready by the crates. When would you like us to deliver them?”
”Ah... That's good, kind sir. You may deliver them by next week then. If possible deliver them daily so that our products would not cease since we operate 24 hours a day. How many glass container as such could your men produce?”
”I guess they could produce one every 5-8 minutes and we will deploy our full manpower to handle the orders so that we can complete the orders that you had placed.”
”That's good. Look, we need to order another 100,000 pieces each based on a new design. May we take a look at your samples?”
”Sure, come right this way...” the owner ushered us to his products display and I saw what I needed for the following product: A glass container with a cover that resembles closely to the Pomade and Hamigachiko.
Then another square bottle for dispensing alcohol but it was a litre in liquid capacity. I held the two glassware and brought to him.
”I need 100,000 of this and have it imprinted on top. Could you tell me the price? Also these square bottle with a glass stopper. I need it to be between 250-300 millilitres of content. There would be 2 separate brandings. Could you kindly tell me the price as well?
After discussing the prices as well as the added designs, we had come to a conclusion and confirms the order for these items.
The first glassware with a cover had the same corporate name and in the middle was branded as 'Sengan Ryo' of facial cleanser. The second that also bears the corporate name was branded as the 'BodiRoshon' or Body Lotion and another was branded as 'Basu Kosui' or Bath Perfume.
I opened up my sketchpad and checked the types of products that were being produced:
Refined Steel
Seijuro Tumbler Machine
Karada Soap (body soap)
Hae Shanpu (hair shampoo)
Kurin Laundry Detergent
Feroa Kurina Floor Detergent
Hamigachiko (toothpaste)
Kaori No Kyandoru (Scented candle)
To be processed
Pinatt Subata (peanut butter)
Pomado (pomade)
Sengan Ryo (facial cleanser)
Basu Kosui (Bath Perfume)
BodiRoshon (Body Lotion)
A total of 12 production lines could be run simultaneously since we were handling the Refined Steel, which makes 1 spare warehouse or factory on the grounds. I intended to have an empty warehouse since we could use that as a training ground to educate the workers, or hold our corporate meetings there with them.
We could at least perform a plant shutdown once a month so we can gather everyone and have a big family meeting. However, the guards posted along the trade would not be able to attend as their duties are important to ensure the safety of travellers and merchants.
The warehouse that we intend to leave it empty would be the one within our home ground where we can churn out Refined Steel like nobody's business. Hahaha...
We thanked the owner and had gotten quite a deal for the glass bottles and pomade container and paid a small deposit. They would be processing the orders and sending the finished products to our warehouse. Since they had a big order, they somehow had to outsource and send it to them.
No matter how they do it, it would be impossible to do it alone and since I know nuts about pottery or glassmaking, I am unable to visualise it and made them. Too bad too sad, little Sam can't make these in the Realm of Mind... Boo...Hoo... Hoo!
We sat in the garden of our house and showed him the sketchpad that I had written and he seemed pleased with. The most important thing is the residents in the outermost District would be close to 75% employed so their livelihood would be better.
”We call it a night then. Let's go to Mount Otakine tomorrow once more to find the people that I had been looking for.”
Hiko-sama nodded and went back into the house and performed our nightly tasks and went to bed.

+-==The following morning==-+
We awoke from our slumber, freshen up ourselves and went to have breakfast. The 'aunties' arrived early as usual and made breakfast for the 3rd shift before they leave for home and also served us some.
”Your execom members are not joining you today, Sensei and Senpai?”
”They have their own roles to perform, so we do not want to interfere with theirs. Furthermore, we would be going up to Mount okitane today hoping to change on our new acquaintances. We might be back for lunch slightly later.”
Our breakfast was simple. We had steamed dumplings with red beans that had been soaked overnight and then mixed with sugar and inserted inside it. It was sweet and steaming hot, and it goes well with the green tea.
I looked at the open-air sheltered meal area and I hoped to turn it as a mass kitchen and adds another 2 to 4 more cooks or assistants to accommodate for the incoming surge of manpower once the 12 warehouses are complete simultaneously.
We finished our breakfast and went to the stable boys and so far there had not been a note from them to report on any covert operations. I asked them what would be the cost of a single horse and we intend to get 6 mounts for ourselves.
”Kiso horses or ponies are the best. Not only it is good for riding, but it is also can be used to pull carts as well. It is widely available in Kiso Town of Nagano Prefecture. It is about 400 kilograms and can pull its equivalent weight too.”
”Nagano is after Niigata Prefecture so we might get our horses there. I heard they had strong legs and are dual usage for horseback riding as well as pulling carts and wagon. We can decide on this later on.”
So we got two mounts and proceed to leave Kitakata and head towards Mount Otakine. We reached there for about 3 hours and went searching for the elusive Youkai Taijiya Village. As the mist had covered half of the mountain top earlier on our last visit, this time it was much clearer and we can see a small settlement in the middle of the mountain.
”Sensei, we have found what we are looking for. Come, let's go and lay a visit to them.” I beckoned to Hiko-sama and we took a trail that encircles the mountain until we reach the Village. I saw 2 masked guards and was dressed in the battle gear and were hiding a large halberd and a katana on their sides.
