Takeo was at the Howards Chamber of Commerce.
Takeshi is sneaking a peek from the storefront.
As usual, but...
"Ladies and gentlemen, you seem to be busy, but... are you missing Monica?"
“Monica is at a meeting right now.”
"... Dad, please don't talk to me normally from behind."
That's what Takeo said, looking back, Monica's father was there.
“It would be natural for someone to peek into the store.”
"That's true, though."
Was Monica out of town? ”
How can I help you, Monica?
"No, I thought I couldn't do anything about the Demon Kingdom."
I'm here to say thank you. "
"That's, that's, thank you.
That's your report, isn't it?
Then please go to the reception room inside. "
Monica's father led Takeshi into the store.
"I wish you a safe return."
We are also very happy to congratulate Alice on her pregnancy. ”
Monica's father gave her a congratulatory speech after she was sent to the reception room and the female employee left with a cup of tea.
“Thank you.
Thank you for answering the Demon Kingdom's urgent questions.
I didn't expect to be able to export 1,500 pencils every month. ”
"Just thinking about the future, I was thinking about having a lot of inventory, and I was working on the personnel.
I can do something about 1,500 bottles in surplus.
By the way, I didn't tell Alice, but I will also export about 150 erasers. "
“Thank you.
I will buy it.
So... it's just... "
"Haa... I wonder if my heart stops when I'm alone?"
“I think it's okay.
... it doesn't happen right away.
The Howards Chamber of Commerce has asked me what to do with the additional 40,000 copies after delivery. ”
"Oh, I see."
How was it? "
"Um... I'll tell you exactly as I was told.
"There are 1,500 bottles per month now, but if the production volume increases in the future, you can bring more each month without saying 1,500 bottles. If you can deliver 3,000 bottles per month when the delivery of 40,000 bottles is completed, I would like to request an additional 72,000 bottles.
Of course, this is also the delivery date for the number of bottles, so it can be more than 3,000 bottles per month. "
... you decide where to sell for the next four years.
Monica's father said as he lowered his gaze with his arms crossed.
Is it possible?
"Well, that 3,000 bottles a month will do something about it."
In fact, there are now 5,500 combined shipments a month for the capital and royalty, the Elvis family, the Godwin family, the Temple family, and the Demon Kingdom.
The current maximum production capacity is 6000 bottles, or 4000 bottles if the normal staffing does not force everyone to do so.
We also want to increase production, and Monica is going to Sutera Manufacturing to consult with them about how to increase production.
The issue is the demand situation in the future.
Now there are requests for novelty all at once, but there are times when only the amount of supplies drained at some stage is requested.
We think that we have to increase the equipment in anticipation of the production volume at that time...
What do you think will happen, Master Kita Mizato? "
"... I want at least double.
Basically, we make 8,000 bottles a month and sell them all over the country, and we add 4,000 bottles in case of surplus, but isn't this normal staffing?
If so, I think that this means that the work is made in the idle period.
This increase will be used to increase inventory, and will be released from inventory when there is a request for a large order.
Is this a good way to do things as they are?
Well, Lord William and Count Godwin might come a little more often in the future.
I think that if we don't increase production further until the current King's Capital is delivered, we will be able to maintain production at twice the volume. "
"Hmm... With that idea, it looks like it could be twice as much as it is now, even after four years."
"If it's just the current customer..."
It depends on what the lords of the West do.
Well, will the rest penetrate the people...?
Right now, it's around the royal family, the royal government, the Royal Academy, and the Knights, right?
If this spreads all over the city... wouldn't it be at least five times more necessary?
The number of copies to be maintained is also unknown. "
... I can't read it at all.
In the meantime, let's see how to maintain 8,000 bottles per month in our normal work and increase our inventory during idle periods... "
Monica's father says with a sigh.
“I didn't ask for a job to force everyone to do it.
You don't even have to make unreasonable investments.
You're welcome to keep it steady.
Well, it might be less profitable, but... "
“No, we're making enough profits to keep hiring people.
I don't want to make a fortune.
... I was awed.
If you have a large request but cannot cover the stock, we will coordinate the monthly delivery quantity with the customer. "
Monica's father nods.
... it looks like it will be about 12,000 bottles a month next year.
"Haha, that's how it happened."
By doing so, we can create jobs for the city's inhabitants.
I have a duty of confidentiality. "
"That part, please."
I don't want you to make anything else than this. ”
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
We, the cooperating workshops of the Kita Mizato family, are under a strict obligation of confidentiality.
Well... the point is that we check each other. "
"Did you do that?"
"Yes, I do a voluntary tour of the workshop to see if there are any missing documents or deficiencies.
Bedford must be the hardest place to be.
You're a factory owner from a personal store?
It seems that document management is difficult.
I ordered a custom-built bookshelf from Bedford and delivered it immediately. ”
... it looks like it's going to be tough... but it's better if you don't drink too much alcohol.
“Let's keep Monica on the lookout.”
Monica's father said with a bitter smile.
