Hero of Darkness
chapter-167

The first day after the grand opening was their turn to officially start doing business in the city. And after yesterday's incident.. Kahn poured another 2 million gold coins to spread the news in the entire district that the clan leader of the vampire clan personally came to the opening ceremony because he acknowledged Albestros Winston, the newly rising Grandmaster Blacksmith's skills.

With this information spread amongst the masses, there was a big uproar in the Weapon industry. Although Rukon district was more famous for Alchemy & Pharmaceutical commerce, a sudden rise of a weapon enterprise and that too with a Grandmaster Blacksmith holding the command had attracted many eyes.

And because of that, all the 11 stores that were directly under the Company's name along with the 23 small shops that had bought dealerships of their products were now spread around the 200 kilometers area district.

Kahn already had enough distributors for the beginning but after yesterday's incident, they had an influx of people who wanted to buy dealerships permission.

A distributor was an independent selling agent who has a contract to sell the products of a manufacturer, but is not entitled to use the manufacturer's trade name as part of its trade name. The contract may also limit the distributor to selling only that company's goods, rather than marketing different products and services from different firms. The manufacturer sold the distributor the products at wholesale prices.

A dealership is sometimes called a retail distributor. It is similar to a distributorship, except that a dealer usually sells only to the public. Unlike other types of franchisees, including distributors, a dealer is not usually restricted to carrying one product line. Most commonly, this type of arrangement is found in the automotive industry. Like a chainstore system or a convenience store.

In this case, Kahn's Bloodborne company was the Manufacturer who provided the product and let others sell things at their own rates. And naturally, the wholesale rate for these people was lower than what he'd sell at market price.

But since these distributors & dealers bought their product in huge bulks, the deal was profitable for him either way. Because if they sold all the product to individual customers, they'd need a lot more time and also the company won't be able to produce and store the new product at a fast pace.

But to avoid unnecessary leechers and trolls who didn't actually come to buy but waste time, there were signboards on the entrances and the main counters in all of the shops owned by the company...

NO HAGGLING OR BARGAINING ALLOWED

Because they were already selling at half the market price, any more would put a big dent in their earnings. And to throw out the people who intentionally came to cause trouble for them, such as their rivals or someone sent by their competitors; Kahn left 2 peak master Rank fighters in each of these stores. He currently had 65 master rank & 8 beginner grandmaster subordinates so it was the best time to use them.

As the Judgement Day finally came..

Each of their stores were crowded with thousands of people as soon the doors were opened to the public. Plenty of people, who had been saving up to buy good weapons and armors flooded their shops and the staff working there had their hands full.

Some people even tried to compare their products such as swords, spears, arrows and shields with the same equipment they bought from other franchises.. Only to find that the quality being even superior compared to the ones sold at double the price.

When the evening finally came and the shops were closed.. More than 80% of the stock was sold off. And collective numbers of selling from all the respective shops were tallied by Kahn at the night as he checked the ledgers and reports.

He gave a wide grin and spoke with a merry tone.

"Fucking worth it!" exclaimed Kahn with a victorious expression.

On the first day alone, 30% of the stock that was kept for selling in their own shops was sold off. And now Kahn had no worries about not being able to launch their enterprise at a grand scale.

Given how the opening day of their business took off, there would be even more customers coming in the following days and weeks as the word of their company spread to masses and the people that dealt in these professions. Soon, the Bloodborne company will rise in fame and reputation as time went on.

Omega, who was now in charge of security of shipments to these shops and personally overlooked the transportation of the product to all their shops and then gather the total wealth they gained finally returned at late night.

Just like Ronin & Jugram.. He too had gained quite the fangirls around the stores and the company building based on his cold and mature looks that gave him an appearance of a mysterious man. The kind who would attract the main female lead of some romance novel.

But given his strength and position, only the most daring females approached him. Only to get turned down by him. Because he had no attraction towards the opposite gender.

Rather than being interested in curves of a woman.. He was interested in curves of a sword.

"Master, I've brought today's earnings." Omega spoke and handed two space rings.

After counting the money.. Kahn was exhilarated on the spot. The first day earning in profits alone was 2.3 Million gold coins!

"Stonk!" spoke Kahn as he folded his arms.

At this same moment, there was a heated discussion happening inside a prestigious can company's head office.

Bang!

A Snakekin dressed in high-class businessman clothes banged his fist on the table. In front of him, were 4 more people sitting in this room. Every single one of them looked like a big name in the business industry based on their clothing alone.

"Why I haven't heard of this Albestros Winston before? And where did he come from so suddenly? No one can set up such a big business without causing a commotion first. Their opening day alone caused us 15% losses in total earnings." said the Snakekin.

"They even received an acknowledgment from the Vandereich clan. By no means this Grandmaster Blacksmith is a nobody. We can't just go knocking on their doors without a proper plan." spoke an old blue thrall who sat amongst the people.

"Let's bury these ants before they become a threat to our business. I still have a way or two to squander these insects." spoke the Snakekin as he gave a sinister smile.

"Let's see how long does this Bloodborne company lasts."
