Chapter 13 (1/2)

“By the way, William. I want you to help me with my work if I have a hand now. Of course, the pay will bounce.”

Lauren asked for William’s room and said the opening first. William has now just overwhelmed a civil war of some size and has returned to the Taylor’s residence in Arkas. By the way, Karl is out because there are miscellaneous things about the Toren Corps.

“Do you work?”

Although there is common knowledge about gems, William does not think that there is a task to be left to him without professional knowledge, so William raises a question mark.

“Everyone who can read and write abacus can do it. And there are few people who can do it, even if it is not Arcas.”

William is currently free. I was thinking of going out soon and visiting Karl and Favela’s house, but I was killed. It was a matter of course for William to go to a lot of learning.

“If so, I will help you.”

Work of the rich, a great opportunity to absorb its know-how.

“First of all, how are we making money?”

Laurent asked William while she was on the horseback to work.

“Do we say that the Shokai,”?

“No, it can be said in the whole business.”

What can be said in the general business. If it is a general theory, it is a question of the range understood also to William who has worked.

“It is the most primitive way to convert what you have collected into gold, and it is the agricultural way to sell what you produce next. If you import and export, you can make use of the difference in value. Import and sell from the water-rich area to the area where you are working, etc. Add value-added, etc. Process a simple iron into a pot or a sword, etc. By adding such applications etc. You can sell it higher than just iron. ”

Laurent was happy.

“Yes, yes. Business is only one of yours, or a combination of them. The basics do not change in any industry. Cheap stocking and selling high. Everything is there. It will end up ”

Laurent beats one beat,

“So why can our company buy cheaply? Can we collect money including labor costs, transportation costs, etc. Do you understand?”

Ask William. This is also the basis of business.

“Difference in value and added value, large amount of stock, heel”

“It’s amazing, especially the third one is not surprising. The difference in value and added value, as you mentioned earlier, can be purchased as cheaply as possible from areas with lots of gems, additions such as cuts and decorations. It is worthwhile to take value from the gross profit and deduct the labor cost and the transportation cost etc. This is the basic flow, and when we are affiliated with the Taylor family business group, we gather up all of them at the same time. Instead of buying it in bulk, it cuts the price of the unit, which will increase the profit further. ”

“But there is a big price so far?”

Laurent responds with a smile to William’s question.

“I know if I try to do the office work I’m going to do from now on. The basics of the business are how much we are getting well,”

Confident Laurent. In fact, it may be quite profitable.

“There is no need to know this yet, but there is something that you should never do in running the jewelry industry, there is a flow that should not be riding”

Lauren stares at William. What you need to know more than get involved in the business. I broke a little bit, Laurent’s eyes were saying so. William also tightens his face a little.

“That’s lowering the price, rather raising it. They want a high valued stone, not a cheap shiny stone. What we are dealing with is food, clothing and shelter. It’s not necessary, it’s only a luxury item, it’s meaningless if it’s not valuable, it’s finished if you think it’s worthless, the gems you’re hanging from your neck don’t give us any value and we’ll have a wayside Same as a stone, keep it in your chest ”

Don’t hurt the value. It’s tough, says Laurent. Right now, William has no power to do it. However, if you help Laurent, you may be taken over such a position. Rather, it was because he was so angry that he invited William to work. It is also a proof that it starts from the office work which can learn the flow of business.

“Oh, it’s almost time.”

The carriage stopped and the two went outside. A primary place of Arkas where first-class citizens control the land. Noble towns are restricted access, so it is this place that is more advanced in doing business. This is the place where the most money flows in Alkas.
