200 5.89 Further Expansion Of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha (1/2)
”I don't see the reason why not to extend our product range. But we are not going to sell those. We could employ little Kaede here so she would be responsible for handling those herbs. The medicinal pills that she and a few new employees with her could churn out for everyone here for free in this village.”
”At least, they could keep in their medical box in the case for emergencies and so on. Furthermore, we have enough after looking at our corporate account book from the Treasury. Wonder how many houses they going to build around the outermost district.”
”Ah... You'd be surprised if I were to say this to you. The building and construction of the houses around the perimeter would reach at least 140 plot of lands. In each plot of land, there would be 4longhouses which could fit 16 families altogether.”
”The total incoming surge of new residents to Kitakata would reach 2,240 more families and each family would consist of an average of 3 households members. And this brings a total of at least 6,720 more new residents here in this Kitakata little town.”
”Kid, you have any plans for the town folks of the outermost District? It seems that we have quite a load of employees now and it had reached almost 2,000 employees with an average salary of 12,250 gold coins monthly.”
”Look at this chart that I had drawn on this sketchpad. With an output of average 13,000 gold coins per month and their monthly food of close to an average of 2,000 gold coins, it all adds up to 15,000 gold coins a month.”
”Balances were pooled into the charity boxes and someone needs to account for that since there's a lot of gold, silver and coppers in them. I think if I'm not wrong, it would add up to 50—150 gold coins altogether.”
”The output expenditure for the bottles and such had almost exceeded 1,000 gold coins and the total expenditure for all the production lines had amounted to an average of 10,000 gold coins per month.”
”However, we do not have to worry about our average sales that we made per month for this 4th-month operation was somewhere 2,500,000 altogether. We still have some unprocessed orders of at least 135,000 Refined Steel Plates that we would soon be doing in the Realm of Mind for the next week.”
”No worries, kid. Everything under control. It's just that when you're not around to handle these sums, I felt that we were spending too much but in actual fact for every thousand coins, we spend its like ten coins to you. Hahahaha... I've been treating these gold coins like as if they were silvers or even coppers.”
”It is alright, Sensei. What goes in, must come out too. Just like eating, we also must shit. Hahahaha... So gross...! Actually what I meant is, do we really need so much money? Will it bring us happiness? Will we be able to bring this money all to our graves? I don't think so right? ”
”Luckily for the Refined Steel Plates that we could sell for 20 gold coins per plate. A single moulding tray covers the cost of iron ores, coal and limestone for 2 weeks at least and thus we are making millions out of these.”
”Do you think if we propose another 8 more plots of land to build 24 more warehouses? We are going to be running three-fold right now. I was thinking of proposing a 3 days work week with 1 day off in between, with no salary reduction and considered their off day as a working day.
”Right now the employees had been putting a lot of effort and working with no rest days, while what we can see now was that our cosmetics and beauty have not reached Tochigi and the rest of the other Prefecture too like Ibaraki and so on.”
”Expansion of a three-fold would mean we would have 1,800 employees per shift and approximately 5,500 employees altogether including the cavalrymen, the outpost guards and the Youkai Taijiya. It would amount to 35,000 good coins per month, 6,000 gold coins for food and expenditure for glassware and porcelain ware that could easily amount to an approximately 60,000 gold coins at least per month.”
”This amount could easily be covered by supplying just 6,000 moulding trays of Refined Steel Plates or 60,000 individual plates monthly.”
”If this proposal to the Mayor takes off, all the new residents and the remaining residents that were not employed would be employed by us. The remaining question is that we could offer 500 gold coins for the residents that would be relocating. The building of their new homes would be borne by the government, what do you think?”
”We have 6 Plant Managers, do you have any plans to add more manpower to the existing pool? I mean 6 Plant Managers to look after 36 warehouses would be a heavy task for them.”
”OK, in that case, the 6 Plant Managers would appoint Plant Supervisors and Assistants to look after each warehouse from now on. So the Plant Supervisors and Assistants would be reporting to the Plant Managers for any defects, reorientation or maintaining the supply of the main base products.”
”In this way, every shift would have 36 Plant Supervisors and 36 Supervisor Assistants and the would add up to 216 more additional manpower. These Plant Supervisor and Assistants would be made up of the current employees that we have. Its a promotion for them.”
”Good idea I write it down as well. So, kid...the assembly lines would also have Plant Supervisors and Assistant? And they report to Mesen-san and his nephew, right?”
”Good Sensei, at least you could visualise it from there. Because a person can't be at 3 warehouses at the same time. Once the plan is approved, we would need to relocate the production line to be clustered each on a plot of land. Meaning that each plot of land of 3 warehouses would be running the same thing.”
”Phew...! All this talk really made us hungry. Let's invite the Mayor for dinner.” I called a Messenger and passed a note to the Mayor inviting us for dinner and supper and immediately when the Messenger saw the note was for the Mayor, he told us that he would bring it there first, and off he ran towards the direction of the Castle past over the governmental District.
I had informed the 'aunties' that we would be having guests later and to whip up extra for dinner and supper and they acknowledged, knowing that the guests would be none other than the Mayor himself.
30 minutes later, the gruff, obese man came with his dozen Imperial Guards and when he saw us, he waved his fan that he was fanning himself with and sauntered towards us and sat in the garden with us. Our execom members were also summoned and came together to sit with us.
The Imperial Guards were shooed off and they sat at the meal areas as they had been advised to leave the Mayor with us since there was no one who could possibly harm him except for the two of us.
”Senior and Young Master, you had summoned me for dinner and here I am. Besides dinner, I am sure you want to discuss something that would be appealing to the governmental structure and improve the economic standings, right?”
”Your weekly deposits in the corporate savings account had surpassed more than 79% of the total revenue in the trading district and this is being achieved by you're fine corporation alone that had even reached the Emperor's kingdom in Tokyo.”
”Your Excellency, Young Master here wishes to propose something that would even hit 101% of the total revenue by the trading district alone. Would you like to have a cup of yumeshu?”
