Chapter 143 A Deal is Struck (1/2)

”I have recently purchased a building in Port Lace that I intend to use as my base of operation on Rouke Island,” Rassa began, ”I have also placed several staff there, including one that within the week will be capable of making the Protective Charms, as well as other Charms”.

”Others?” asked Falla.

Rassa nodded, ”A full list will be given should you agree to the terms”. Falla nodded in agreement before Rassa continued, ”The staff that are manning this soon-to-be shop however are...unequipped for both the clientele and the administration that will need to be done when the business opens, which will likely not be for several months. My offer is simple, in return for providing lessons to these individuals in these areas, and support where it is needed prior to the opening of the business, you will receive 50% of the first six months' sales. However, if you are also capable of providing a steady stream of Evanine Crystals, the five year deal will stand”.

”50% for six months simply for training your staff? You are quite generous,” Falla stated, ”Jane told me you were more than capable of reading yourself, why can't you teach them?”

Rassa decided to ignore the mention of that name. He wasn't ready to talk about her.

”Because I'm not staying. I will leave come the end of the festival and I have no idea when I'll be back,” Rassa stated.

Falla's eyes narrowed, ”So you also need somebody who has vested interests to keep an eye on this business of yours so nobody is bullying your staff?”

”It would be appreciated,” Rassa replied.

Falla pursed her lips as she thought about the deal.

”You say the 50% for five years will only occur should I find a steady supply of Evanine Crystals?” asked Falla.

Rassa nodded, ”Correct”.

”Does that apply to crystals that my own stores sell as well?” asked Falla.

Rassa shook his head, ”The Charms shall only be sold from my store at set prices”.

”I see, may I add my own term then?” asked Falla. Rassa indicated the she could continue, ”If I can supply a steady supply of crystals, then after the initial six months I will only ask for 40% of the profit, but in return I want an individual of my choosing to learn in your store how the charms are made. They will be sworn to secrecy for the duration of the contract, but able to pass on their knowledge at the end of the initial contract”.

Rassa thought for a moment, he knew it was unlikely that she would relent on this point. The knowledge was key to a vast fortune.

”30%,” Rassa countered.

”35%,” Falla replied.

”Very well, 35%,” Rassa sighed, ”But only on the condition the crystals are found and secured”.

”Of course,” Falla nodded.

Rassa's eyes narrowed, ”You seem quite confident. The Evanine Crystal Veins are in high demand at the moment. The reason I'm seeking out a partner is because I'm not confident in purchasing my own”.

Falla gave a small smile, ”My life has not been as simple as you might think for the past few years. Some people might call it fate that we have encountered another at this time because I just so happen to own what could be the largest Evanine Crystal Vein in Eldovia”.
