Chapter 297 – Pocket Check
“Germi, let’s change all the futons in the window.”
“A blanket? With what?”
“With fabric from our factory.”
“The fabric from the factory is good, but… Why?”
“Of course, they sell it at the window. You can’t give it away for free.”
As a Changgwan belonging to an organization, if you say buy it, then you have to cry and buy it by eating mustard. Is it often called a strong seller? A customer who can sell things when I want is a very convenient and good source of money.
However, what I am really aiming for is not making short-term profits by selling fabrics to Changgwan.
“Germi, we are newcomers to the textile industry. First of all, I need to tell you my name.”
“Can you tell me your name? How does selling fabrics in Changgwan promote publicity? ?”
Publicity is an important factor in business. However, how should we expose and promote our products to the public in this world where there are no newspaper advertisements or Internet advertisements?
A common repertoire that comes to mind would be publicity through the social circles of aristocrats. However, I have no connections with nobles at all.
So you can’t use that one.
Then the next thing that comes to mind is word of mouth in the market. It would be good to hear rumors that it is good after actually using it.
However, it is impossible to hand out things like fabrics to people like cosmetics samples.
What came to mind there is the Changgwan run by the Black Moon.
In the window, beds and blankets are essential. In addition, the fabric from our textile mill is supplied so that it can be used.
The fabric made from spider thread is similar to silk and is of good quality. It will be usable enough as a substitute for a duvet.
There is also a large floating population. It allows the numerous customers who come and go to Changgwan to feel the usability of the fabric we made.
They’re like mercenaries, so publicity doesn’t mean much, but merchants are different.
Merchants with good eyesight will definitely contact us after seeing the quality of the fabric supplied to Changgwan.
It’s a thought I came up with alone, but I want to praise myself because I think it’s not a bad idea.
Germi also nodded after hearing my thoughts.
“It seems plausible… ?”
“I have to find a company that can process a large amount of fabric into a blanket, but… Can I leave that to you?”
“Is the work growing? I’ll have to work hard to find a decent merchant with Thermia. Good. Leave it to me.”
I’ve done the necessary checks, so I don’t have to be here any longer. As we reached the entrance on the first floor to leave the window, Germi turned to Madame who had followed her to meet her.
“Madam.”
“Yes, boss.”
“It would be nice to reduce the smell of perfume in the windows. My nose looks crooked.”
At Germi’s words, the madam bent over her.
“Oh, sorry. It’s not like this usually. Today, I was testing a new product for a while…”
“A new product?”
“I heard that it is a scented candle that has the effect of stimulating people. I was smoking it once.”
“You haven’t even started your business yet?”
“It doesn’t matter if it smells bad. Before the guests arrive, I want to try to smell it to see how it smells…”
I nodded appropriately at the madam’s answer and went out into the street. As soon as she came out, Germi opened her arms and took a deep breath as she savored her fresh air.
“Whoa… It was hard because her head hurt because of the smell…”
First of all, we have prepared a rough frame for the promotion plan for the fabric using the brothel, so Germi and Thermia will solve the details. I just need to come up with a good idea.
Then, what is the contents of the pocket to check next?
The foundation must be solid. I need to check my unnecessary expenses.
“Even though the prostitutes on this street belong to the Black Moon, do they share the actual ownership with the executives?”
“Huh. That’s right.”
The organization called the Black Moon was not built steadily by Hergel from one to ten.
He subdued various organizations in the West Way, merged and absorbed them under himself. It’s great as a way to quickly increase power, but all the small organizations absorbed by the black moon were able to maintain their own selves.
The black moon is like a castle built on sand. The foundation is unstable.
For this reason, Hergel was terrified about handing over his organization to his son, his successor.
It was a question of what to do if executives rebelled against their children who lacked charisma compared to themselves. As a solution, he chose to increase the number of executives and forcibly weaken his power, but rather resulted in a backlash.
And I succeeded in getting the officers on Germi’s side by taking advantage of their repulsiveness and using ways to buy favor, such as returning the rice bowl.
However, in the process, they increased their strength.
Only like this, Maljjang dorumuk, there is no need for two suns in the sky. It is necessary to weaken the power of executives who have returned to their original size.
So, in the name of leaking false information that there was a traitor among them and finding the traitor, he made unreasonable demands, such as collecting money from them.
Paying them money for a long time, draining their pockets, and realizing that the difference in wealth is overwhelming, they can’t resist. I made a plan, but…
What? My plan ended too soon because Johannes really betrayed me.
Because of that, he could not use the justification of expelling the traitors, and he could not collect the money from them.
Since you can’t collect the bounty, you have to extort money from their pockets in other ways.
“Remember when the fabric started to come out, we decided to sell it to the executives at a low price?”
“Ah, yes. I remember.”
A multi-level plan using executives!
At the time, I didn’t know how to break through new customers, so I planned to sell fabrics to executives.
We supply fabric to them, and they sell it on their own.
But what if you rob their business in the middle of a deal?
Executives are buying fabric from us, so we can’t lower it below a certain amount to make a profit.
But we are different. Since the fabric comes from us, the supply flow and price of the product can be adjusted at will.
They sell goods to executives and rob the customers they tried to sell fabrics to. It is to turn the fabric you have into bad stock.
If so, it will take some time, but wouldn’t it be possible to make the executives aware?
By making them ignorant, I buy back the right to the window they have. If the money line disappears, their power will naturally decline.
If so, you can solidify Germi’s power within the organization.
“I’ve been thinking about this, what do you think?”
“It’s evil…”
Hearing my story, Germi looks at me in amazement.
“But it sounds like a good way. Huh. Uncle Johannes, no… Not even uncle That bastard betrayed him too. Because there is no law against betraying other executives.”
When a person’s needs are met, he or she wants something else. It’s not strange when the executives under Germi rebel against him, saying that he should be under someone else because he lacks something.
Humans, it is a law to be diligent. It’s better to prepare in advance.
As I walked slowly while having such a conversation, I left the brothel before I knew it. From here on, it’s an ordinary shopping street. Of course, because it is near the brothel, there are many bars, so it is still a deserted street during the day.
“Oh…”
“What?”
Germi, who was walking beside me, stopped and looked around.
“What’s the matter?”
“Eww… Well, aren’t there the scented candles you smoked in the window you just entered?”
“Did you say it has the effect of stimulating people? It’s a scented candle that excites people. Sounds really funny, right?”
“Huh… ?”
“It’s not a medicine you take yourself, but is there a way to have such an effect with a scented candle? Guess who isn’t a whore Buying stupid stuff like that.”
“Eh…”
Germi is making a strange expression at my words.
“What’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing…”
Scented candles that have the effect of stimulating people, that’s for sure. I’ve heard a lot of scented candles that are said to have a calming effect, but I’ve never heard of the opposite.
In the first place, I think all scented candles that are said to have a calming effect are fraudulent.
Sit back in a chair and smell the scent of scented candles and you feel soothed? It’s not because of the scented candle, but because I’m sitting in the chair and I’m calming down.
If your body is relaxed and comfortable, but it doesn’t calm down, it means arrhythmia or high blood pressure.
If you have money to buy such a stupid scented candle, give it to me. Let me be more useful.
As I was thinking about that, Germi held her thighs together and looked at me strangely. Her face is also very red.
“Yeah, but… Wouldn’t it be effective… ?”
“Ah, no matter what, it’s not like that.”
Could it be that even Germi is fooled by such a foolish sound? I believed that none of my women were such fools.
