Chapter 753: Hidden Sea (1/2)

Sam started his work instantly.

He made Raunak process another few acres of land under his name and bought it and started clearing it.

He felt like the owner of this whole forest.

This time though, he doesn't have to worry too much about the construction materials. He just bought them from the new customers. He didn't buy the huge blocks of the stone though. He mostly bought the scrap that would help him make the concrete blocks.

Within the factory, Sam is placing some machines that are used for crushing large rocks into small stones, machines for extracting the ingredient from the plants, and also a machine for extracting from the animals.

This factory is not just for making cement ingredients, this also for making the concrete blocks and sell them as construction materials instead of normal stone.

So, Sam made some steam engine-driven machines that would run the factory. Like the large concrete mixer, the pulverizing machine, and such.

That is not just for the sake of selling the factory. There is another motivation behind this.

Since the other party wants to get power and influence using their current power and influence as the base, Sam just found his new group of customers. He can sell anything and everything to them and all he has to do is sell the designs and methods which is easier for him and since they don't value the spirit stones much and he would get more value for cheaper products.

And his next target is engine-driven machines. He would just reach the target of Raunak's promotion by next month.

Another week passed in the construction and the factory is basically ready. There is not much detail for Sam to do, he just has to finish the basic structure and the builders from the buyer will come and take over.

Dia is in charge of tilling the fields and the ape in charge of planting them while Sky and Yanwu managed the pasture while the shadows performed the menial work.

After this week, the buyer came back with his team to take over and he was surprised by the new machines.

”Where did you get them?”

”I made them.”

This surprised him even more and the man started examining them carefully.

”These are great.”

”I know. But I would refrain from opening them and examining them if I were you. Once you pry it open, the machine will be destroyed and you would have to pay a good amount of money to buy another and that too if I was there and I am willing to sell it at that time.”

”Then I must be careful.”

After that they completed the rest of the procedures and Sam moved his camp to a different place.

This deal added another two hundred twenty-five million spirit stones to the tax target, along with another forty million lands Sam bought, the tax for the biscuit factory which is around one hundred and twelve, and the initial taxes from the liquor recipes already crossed the half-way point.

Currently, Raunak only has around three hundred and seventy million spirit stones that he has to finish in.

Sam is tempted to just buy more land, but without any proper reason like building a factory-like before, the authorities are strictly against this.

Raunak has become colder in general after that breakdown he had. He is making all the decisions by himself without consulting Sam for everything and getting paranoid.

The first thing he did after separating his office is completely prohibited any normal official to have any access to his office and that included the supposed guards that were sent by them.

Apart from that, he dismissed all the subordinates he was given which are essentially lackeys of other factions, and recruited the smaller level people in the administration office as his employees.

The employees have only one weakness which is their desire to become real employees. They are the people that don't have any background and made out of the school of bureaucracy with sheer luck or grit without making any connections.

Raunak showed some hope to them and recruited them under him and even here they are mostly responsible for performing the menial tasks like following the applications through the actual administration due to the land sale, or handing over the immediate tax Sam is paying them and such.
