200 5.89 Further Expansion Of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha (2/2)
Hiko-sama offered a cup to the Mayor and he took a sip, knowing that drinking too much would make one feel tipsy afterwards.
”Come, Young Master. I am open and all ears to your proposal.” the Mayor said as he took a small sip from the cup.
”Here, take a look at our corporate accounts book. As you can see, this month alone, we were able to deposit as much as 1,500,000 gold coins into the Treasury right? And this means we're achieved by these 12 warehouses alone. Don't count the one behind us, its for us to do our projects.”
I showed the Mayor the corporate accounts book and saw a deposit of more than 1,500,000 on more than 10 deposits alone. And the amount that appeared at the end of the book also astonished him very much. The amount stated was more than the amount he had in his own Castle's holding account.
”I'm going to triple this amount deposited monthly, and I need Your Excellency assistance in getting a Decree from the Emperor once more. We would like to have another 8 more plot of land beside the current warehouse in the left and right.”
”We plan to triple our production lines, triple the manpower, all the residents from the outermost District would be employed by us, thus increasing their value of living standards and also their buying power.”
”What's the use of adding another 5,000 residents but not even contributing to the economy, am I right Your Excellency?”
”Yes, Yes... Young Master. I can envision your expansion of the business. Getting the Decree would be no problem as His Majesty is in Shibata right now and would take some hours to get it processed.”
”8 plots of land eh? And 24 more warehouses to fill up with production lines at triple its output? That's a good idea, anything good for the economy of Kitakata, the sooner it will flourish as a town, instead of a little town.”
”1,500,000 a month now and would be 4,500,000 by next month. And it would generate as much as 54,000,000 per year. Actually, that amount would not be 101% as what Senior Master had mentioned but its a 400%-600% increase...!!!”
”We could build better houses, improve the standards of the militia, Samurai as well as the Imperial Army. We could have better armaments and be equipped with rifles in the future too...! Hmm... 4,500,000 good coins a month...”
”Sounds good to be true, but I am sure it's workable. I will get the Decree from His Majesty tomorrow morning. By the way, you invited me for dinner, could we begin now? I've been craving for you are fine dishes that would even appease His Majesty.”
”Hahahaha... Your Excellency is always direct to the point. I like it very much. There is no hidden agenda and always speaks Your Excellency's mind. Hang on, I will call the cooks over to serve us dinner.”
I raised my hands over to the 'aunties' and they bowed and prepares the plates and bowls for our dinner.
”CFO-san, you really going to expand Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha to that extent? You were gone for an expedition for some days with the Youkai Taijiya members and you had new ideas sprouting in your head. Hahahaha. You should go out more often, you know...! ”
Hide mentioned about me getting fresh air and fresh ideas when I travelled with Wonder 8.
”Oh... Young Master, we have youkai Taijiya here in our town? I didn't know about it, my Imperial Guards also didn't notify me of this. Is our town in danger?”
”Hahahaha... Your Excellency, don't worry. These youkai Taijiya were from Mount Okitane and we had requested them to make their homes here. Right now they are being employed by us, so no worries about their salaries whatsoever. They are now living in the outer ost district and ready when they are being called upon for duty.”
”And another thing, we would like to unburden the governmental District in acquiring the 8 plot of land. We will give 500 gold coins for them for their land title deed and compensation for their relocation. The new house that they intend to build would be borne by the government, as usual. What do you say, Your Excellency? ”
”500 per plot of land with the title deed and for 8 plots would be 4,000 gold coins. That's a wonderful idea and I will highlight it to His Majesty! He would be tremendously glad in the generosity made by Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha. The title deed would be changed accordingly right? ”
”That's right, Your Excellency. When the Decree had been passed down, we will pay off the residents and they can choose which plot of land they wish to build their new home. They can stay in their house still while waiting for their new house. No issues in that.”

”That's very kind of you to do that for the residents, yes... I will get the Decree done by tomorrow. Is there anything else?”
”YES...!!! Let's eat, Your Excellency...! Dinner has been served...” with that cue, the 'aunties' brought out dinner and served the 7 of us in the garden while the Imperial Guards also had their portions.
We had steamed rice with cinnamon sticks, some herbs, screw pine leaves that gave off a very fragrant scent and the steamed rice was slightly yellowish in colour due to the spices, and we had grilled fish that was sautéed in red chilli paste.
A big bowl of vegetables in light coconut milk that consists of cabbage, long beans, vermicelli transparent noodles, deep-fried halved tofu, green chillies, dry prawns, quail eggs, diced potatoes, sliced carrots and also a seasonal vegetable called 'Singkamas' or Mexican turnip which had the texture of water chestnuts.
Plus there were several layers of egg omelette what had onions, green and red chillies in them. It is a complete meal that's truly fit for a king and I liked the way His Excellency eat as he blessed the food and unashamedly began to tuck in.
A person who is shy to eat leaves the table hungry... But not this fellow who was appointed a Mayor of our town by His Majesty. Also to reject food is to invite enemies. That's an old saying but nah... We're not here to make enemies. So join us for an exciting chapter of eating and eating again...!
Nom... Nom... Nom...!!
