Chapter 92: Partnership (1/2)

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

”Artisan Chaya, how much do you think my invention is worth?” Chaya went silent for a minute and said.

”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.

This 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.

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

”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.

”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.”

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

She is very enthusiastic.

”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.

Chaya immediately got excited and started listening to Sam.

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

”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.

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

The 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.

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

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

So, can we talk about the dividends.” Sam said as he looked at Chaya.

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

”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.”

Chaya 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.

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

”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?

Because, 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.

You 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?

Your 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.

But 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.

The 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.

So, 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.”

Sam 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.

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

”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.

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