SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 27: Business Plan

A few days after Roy departed from the Baynard kingdom, the runesmith research team responsible for researching the magic stove and blender finally made a qualified runesmith appliance after repeated trials.

The magic stove produces fire without flint or fire magic. The fire is activated by the mana stone, and the flame can be adjusted. Mana stone is consumable. It is like the gas of a stove on Earth. The wind magic in the blender is also activated and maintained by mana stones. Magic appliances will further increase the demand for mana stones!

Edgar gave a big reward to the researchers. He was tempting them to join his research team using tempting promises.Edgar needs dedicated researchers for his magic appliance business.

Edgar talks with Elena along the way.

"Elena, buy small mana stone mines and abandoned mines. Abandoned mines will recover as long as the mana vein is not destroyed, but it will take a long time. I might let researchers invent technology that will accelerate their recovery. Small mines are sold everywhere. They are not profitable because of low output, so they lose in the price war. The demand for mana stone is not much because it is only used by magicians and defense towers, but that will change once our appliances appear in the market."

"Yes, your highness!" answered Elena. When the researchers in the Runesmith department are making fun of the prince's idea, she completely believes that the prince will not do useless things. She is proven right. Elena smiles at the back of Edgar, who has an excited expression on his face.

Edgar brought the appliances into the castle and tested them. He cooked for food and felt joy at experiencing a familiar feeling when using a modern stove. He will use the blender tomorrow. He needed to prepare for the materials first. He will produce another merchandise for the Sasha Company, soymilk.

He soaks the soybeans with water for 24 hours. In the morning, Edgar removed the skin of the soaked soybeans and mixed them with water in the blender. He switched on the blender. The soybeans and water started mixing. After a while, the water became soymilk.

Edgar opened the cap of the blender and poured the contents on a clean cloth to separate the milk. A casserole is beneath the cloth. Edgar heats the casserole that contains the milk. He heated it on the stove for twenty minutes. Soymilk cannot be drunk without being heated because it will be harmful.

After heating, Edgar let the heated soymilk cool down and let Elena use water magic to transfer the milk to a glass pitcher. The glass still has bubbles. It is not a qualified product to be sold. Glass is still not ready to be introduced to the market. He poured soy milk into two cups. He added honey to the milk. He gave the other cup to Elena, and he drank the other cup. The soy milk tastes a little different from Edgar because honey is used and not sugar. Elena enjoys the soymilk. She doesn't even feel that any milk remains above her mouth.

Edgar laughs at Elena and asks her opinion on the milk.

"How does it taste?" asked Edgar.

"Your highness, it is more delicious than other milk that I have drank before," answered Elena while still blushing from embarrassment earlier.

"It is not ready to be sold in the market because it is easy to spoil. I need researchers to make a piece of equipment that will sterilize soy milk stored in a small clay or porcelain bottle. Call Medres here. I want him to taste our future merchandise and prepare to create another company for magic appliances," said Edgar.

Elena let someone call for Medres. She already has her assistants. Edgar appointed two people who were taught by Elena earlier. Elena refused, but Edgar insisted, so she was forced to accept.

Elena is no longer wearing a maid outfit. Edgar gave her a white-collar worker outfit. She felt embarrassed because her big mountains were emphasized by the outfit. Edgar gave her a bra, which he thinks will become another piece of merchandise later.

Medres arrived, and Edgar let him try the soy milk. Edgar also demonstrated the magic stove.

Clap! Medres clapped. He is astonished by the mind of Edgar. He wants to open the prince's head and learn how his brain works. The prince's ideas can earn mountains of gold.

"Your highness, your invention will definitely be welcomed by the masses. You need to buy mana stone mines because the demand for them will definitely explode!" Medres' acumen in business is good. He can see the effect of appliances on mana stones. Too bad he does not have enough money to buy.

"I had already ordered Elena and I want you to prepare industrial production of appliances. The place must be near an area with good traffic and near the river where a wharf can be set up. The place should also be strictly guarded. I want you to work together with Elena and lure one master runesmith and many apprentices from runesmith workshops. I set up a magic teaching class but it will take time to train them. I will set up another company for appliances. Sasha company will make merchandise for food. The company that will make appliances will be called Flameworth Collection or simply FC. The trademark for FC will be a flame lion." Edgar paused for a while and let Medres digest what he said then he continued.

"Train managers for each company. I will assign you to another important company. Many companies will be created in the future and they will be managed under one group. The group will be called Flameworth Group. I will offer you a share in Flameworth Group after you work for five years.For now, I will give you a share that only earns dividends. Each managerial position will also receive the share offer." Edgar explained the meaning of share and it excites Medres. The group holds political and financial power in the kingdom! Medres feels that the group will be the umbrella of his future generation!

Edgar kept telling Medres about his plan.

"The company that I want to create next will become an important part in the rapid development of the kingdom. That company is a bank!"
