Chapter 195: Returns (1/2)
The name of Sam's park spread long and wide. The publicity through mouth of people is beyond any other kind of efforts Sam could have made.
The free experience for a day is one of the best decisions he made and that was spot on.
After the opening day, many people came and queued up at the dawn the limited entry for the people made them come and line up. There more than twenty thousand people and after sending twelve thousand people in, Hawk, who is in charge of the entrance closed the large gate.
Sam has invested a total of 650 million including the land, the construction, formations, the challenge arrangements, value of the cattle.
For the first day, the revenue from the entry fee alone is 12 million. And the total revenue is around 150 million for all the challenges, the food, and the products from Sam's weapon shop.
The people are obsessed with the challenges and one person cannot stop himself from trying it again and again and the fact that they are helping their control of energy is only prompting them to repeatedly do this.
Even though, the one hundred fifty million seemed like a lot but a person is spending an average of over 12500 stones if we consider that over 12000 members.
Out of this one hundred fifty million around 30 million is going away for running the whole park. That includes, the formation repairs, raw meat and other ingredients, the wages and also the prizes to the customers if they had won any.
And around another thirty million are going to the towers for the cooperation in some challenges. With this Sam is making a 90 million per day and it doesn't seem it would take long before he would reach his 650 million investment and gain profits.
When Duke and the remaining candidates learnt about Sam making a huge construction project in the estate, all of them thought that he might be doing real estate and sell houses in the central zone, but when they saw the results of this, they were dumbfounded.
The candidates and the other businessmen, noble families are green with envy that even included the Duke himself.
The people are taking out their savings to get into the park and spending them on the challenges for various reasons like tempering, improvement and even simply fame. After all, the challenges are awfully tough and clearing them will make them famous.
For the next week, the Park ran normally and the popularity spread rapidly and Sam's investment was returned.
Now, he is on his way towards earning profits and that is going to be huge. But, after one week the first problem came.
The other candidates particularly the noble kids were consumed by jealousy, but what can they do, as soon as they started making troubles, there are serious consequences waiting for them.
Sam had made some serious security measures in the park.
More than three hundred dragon hawk tribesman are given some smaller cannons, there are several watch towers inside the park from which they can cover a lot of area. The construction is made in such a way that there are not many blind spots.
So, as soon as they made trouble, they will be shot down. The shell this time is like a trap. This is just like a hunting trap, but a little different. As soon as it hit the person it a metallic coil wound itself over them and an inscribed formation was activate sealing their powers.
The troublemakers as long as they are not above Great realm, they are taken down by the shooters themselves.
Beyond the Grand realm, the towers are not cooperating with him for nothing.
After catching the criminals, every night, Sam had an interrogation session and the consequences are based on their actions.
If one was here to disrupt the order by kicking up a fuss, he beat them up and threw them at their master's door step, if they are here to make some serious moves by injuring someone, he broke their bones and sent them.
If they are here to kill someone to stain the park's reputation, then he was killed and the body was hung upon the arch of that master's house.
Anyway, the troubles are less since, the cooperation between the towers is not a secret. So, if someone wants to make some trouble, they will have to deal with the towers themselves.
As the Park's situation was going well, Watt is busy with helping Sam for the half of his time and the other half, he roamed the city like crazy on the silver wind.
Since, the start of the construction project, he beat up Zeke and Blue fire many times.
All these times, he left a mark on their bodies.
The number of times they got beat and left them unconscious on the roads.
If there was any chance that the city guards could find him, he just took them away and fled on the silver wind and beat them up in a secluded location.
All in all, in this more than forty-day duration, the two brothers underwent some serious trauma.
It was to the point; they are afraid of coming out. But they cannot let that happen. Because, they are part of the southern star team and that too in which the kids are all nobility. They only took them in because of the General and they didn't have any good feelings.
