BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34 Chamber of Commerce
"There is opportunity in almost everything"
Luis nodded at this and listened carefully to Biggs.
"There are two ways military and business. Following the path of military is not safe in this world, so i am going to talk about business" Biggs said slowly
"This is a backward world where there is not much fun in peoples life. Our world is much better at this"
Luis mouth twitched when he heard this.
\'A backward world calling another world a backward. I really miss internet\' when Biggs mentioned backwardness he couldn\'t help but remember earth.
"That said," Biggs added, "this world has some redeeming factors too. Especially the pharmacists. They\'ve got extensive knowledge of herbs, and they can create powders that are much cheaper than our life potions."
Luis nodded in agreement, seeing the value in what Biggs was saying.
"So i suggest bringing our baron Pharmacist to this world. They will learn from the pharmacist of this world. Maybe they can try to combine the knowledge of both world creating something unique" Biggs said with some hesitation
Luis eyes lit up when he heard this.
\'Wisdom of old cannot be underestimated\' Luis hadn\'t really thought of this great plan.
"But where do we get the pharmacist. They are very rare" he looked at Biggs and questioned. The pharmacist in the barony are all protected and they don\'t have much time. They need to constantly supply life potion to the frontlines.
He didn\'t dare to use the pharmacist who work for the battlefield soldiers.
"Don\'t worry, young master. I\'ve got a few old friends—retired pharmacists. They\'re no longer tied to the barony\'s needs. I can convince them to come here." Biggs already had a plan
Liam, standing behind Biggs, nodded in agreement, a silent witness to the plan.
Luis raised an eyebrow. "Am I really about to bring all the capable old folks from the barony? Will they even want to come, though? I mean, they retired for a reason,"
"Don\'t worry they will definitely come, you have this new world. This world is the way to make the Hartmann Family rise to new heights" Biggs said with clenched fist "Even if they don\'t want to come, i will forcefully bring them here"
Luis said nothing at this. These old guys problem let the old solve it themselves.
"I\'ll trust you with this task, then. But what other plans do you have?" Luis shifted the topic back to the main topic
Luis and Biggs talked for a long time. After the conversation, Luis had a basic blueprint of development in this cultivation World.
According to Biggs, in this town they will destroy the gambling house, red light areas and build taverns, inns, public baths. To protect these area they will recruit people of this world.
Then, they will open a chamber of commerce in this world. In the chamber of commerce, many kinds of common and unique items of both world will be sold. The chamber of commerce will be protected by their well trained strong knights.
Luis could see a bright future through this plan. He appreciated the teaching of Biggs very much. He could think of all these plan but it would not work perfectly. In Business there are various small things that only people involved in know. If these small are not taken care of properly whole business would crumble.
The old man had thought of everything, from supply chains to cultural differences.
\'Business really isn\'t my thing. I\'ll let Biggs handle it,\' Luis decided. He knew trying to micromanage would only cause more problems.
"How long do you think it\'ll take to get things going?" Luis asked.
"Young Master, it will take me at least a week to create a basic prototype of chamber of commerce. I need to gather all my disciples and retired friends too" Biggs rubbed his chins and finally ended his report
"I dont know much about business. I will give you full authority regarding this. I will be responsible for protecting the family from any external danger"
Biggs who was looking at Luis felt his eyes moisten. In Luis he saw the young Thor Firelock overlapping. Young Master at this moment seems so identical to his grandfather. Totally developing in an unknown area like master who first came to Northern Wasteland.
"Don\'t worry, young master. I\'ll run the business without making a single mistake," Biggs promised, his voice shaking with emotion.
Luis felt weird when he saw Biggs eyes full of tears. Old guys really have a lot in their minds to get emotional quickly.
"Good. Let me know when you\'ve made progress," Luis said and signaled that they could leave
Biggs bowed down and walked away with Liam following behind.
\'Today is the day when father returns\'
Luis reminded himself as he quickly made his way back through the vortex to his own world.
----
After returning to his he laid down on his bed. No matter what the bed of own house is the most comfortable.
He walked out after resting for some time with all the plans of future. Living under the shade of his father he will never truly grow. He could become stronger in terms of physical power, but in terms of leadership and commanding presence, his father would still be miles ahead.
He has seen his usually smiling father totally different when he is with his soldiers. At home, he was a gentle, smiling man, but on the battlefield, he was someone else entirely—an unshakable force of command and strength.
Luis is always in awe when he sees the scene of training of black cavalry. His father along with his soldiers gallops wildly across the grassland. The Black Cavalry was an invincible army, fearless and disciplined.
\'One day, I\'ll be better than him,\' Luis thought, his heart swelling with determination.
