Chapter 98 - 98. Checking Accounts And Quality Time With The Family (1/2)
After they had left, I took out my notepad and checked the orders that Blake, Bruce and Atelier had ordered and I ran it through once more.
Blake didn't ask for Level 4 weapons but I think once I upgraded it to Level 5 iron, then I'm sure everyone would want them to be upgraded and sell it at a higher price.
Greedy Bastard... Hah hah hah... I'm also greedy, right? Getting a 40% cut by using their efforts. Maybe this time around I would settle for 30% since I've got too many credits and I would prefer to use it all up for the future House of Keating.
Atelier: 500 pieces x2 sets x4 designs each and 250 pieces x2 sets x4 designs of gugels. Total is 4000 Level 4 mesh iron sets since the designs are the same except to break it down to 2 classes.
Bruce: 500 pieces of x4 amulets and 500 pieces of x4 rings. These rings would be Level 4 iron trinkets and the total is 4000 pieces as well.
Blake: 500 pieces of Level 4 iron throwing knives, throwing star, 3 bladed cyclone twister, 6 bladed cyclone star and dragon fang dagger.
There are 5 items and the total would be 2500 pieces.
Myself: Level 15 iron. 900 strikes. 15 minutes. Adds only +9 to my base and Blacksmith level. I've got 310 more to go before I become a Professional Blacksmith and for every 1000 level, the iron piece would be increased to Level 16. Adoi... Why take so long... ?!?!
I slipped the notepad, the new set of clothes from Atelier and the new weapons from Blake back in my storage and called the children to wash their faces and then we are going out for dinner and ice cream.
”Yeay...we all thought Daddy had forgotten all about it. Since Daddy had been sleeping the whole time, we were afraid that you might have caught amnesia or something. Hii Hii Hii...” giggled Ingles as she ushered everyone to wash their faces first to get rid of the pieces of evidence that they were snacking in their rooms.
”Trish... Can you tell me how much is the salary for employees?” I gestured for Patricia because of its high time the employees enjoy the fruits of their labour.
”The 220 production employees were earning 700 as before. The 7 line leaders earn 750. Delivery guys earn 1500. The travelling merchants earn 2000. Cooks earn 1000, the matron earns 1200 and Silas gets 36k credits as he bought the ingredients himself.”
”Hmm, in that's the case, an increment of salary as follows: employees 750, line leaders 800, delivery guys 1700, merchants 2200, cooks 1200, matron 1500, Silas 40k. Calculate for me, dear.” I asked for Patricia's help to calculate the salary for the next 3 months and she gave me a final count.”
”Production employees 165k, line leaders 5.6k, delivery 51k, merchants 66k, cooks 4.8k, matron 1.5k and Silas 40k. Total per month is 282.9k and for a quarterly, it is 849k round off to the nearest figure.”
”Do you need operational costs as well? It is 675k per month and quarterly is 2.025 million credits. However, our monthly input from Blake, Bruce and Atelier would be like 5 million. The store makes 450k low to a high of 750k. Furthermore, our accumulated sales from 87 other towns would be 4 to 5 million on average per month. This adds up to approximately 10.5 million before and 9 million after deducting the operational costs.”
”Right, you have 25 million and I have 3, here combine all these. I don't think I need so many credits at all. I just need enough to live by. So you would have 28 million credits right now.”
”Why do you give me so many credits for? Are you leaving somewhere?” Patricia suddenly had a worrisome look and she was wringing her hands until her fingernails went white.
”'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again, Oh babe, I hate to go... Woo, woo woooooo... Just joking darling... I'm not leaving anywhere... Only to spend some time with you and the children as we go for dinner in a nice restaurant and have ice cream sandwich later... Dum Dum Dooby Doo Dum Dum... ”
Patricia smiled at me and threw herself at me and I caught her just in time, in case she misses and landed on the floor instead. Hah hah hah...
....
”Wow... We have never seen this place before existed in the marketplace... Am I right, Adam?”
