Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 138

“Good day ladies and gentlemen, I hope you had a wonderful lunch today. We would like to discuss the progress of Beauty World to everyone now.” I commenced my intentions clearly and that means no bullshit or anything involved.

“I need a volunteer…” I remarked and a lady from the travelling merchant came up and stood beside me. I handed her a vest that I had taken from my storage and told her to wear it and walk around the courtyard.

The bright yellow vest with red trimming signifies the coat of arms colour of the Macleod’s and it could be seen clearly when reflected in the sun and the words on the back with the large logo of a woman in silhouette could be seen and recognised.

“You do have a system, don’t you?” I started off the conference and everyone nodded their heads. There are 15 of you as travelling merchants and there is no need for you to use the advertising caravans anymore.” I continued.

“5 travelling merchants would handle each of the zones accordingly like before. There are 29 towns per zone and I need you to tackle 5 towns per day to collect the orders. Once you wear this vest, everyone knows you represent Beauty World.”

“After the end of the cycle, take a day’s off and then proceed with the sequence once more. Everyone got that?” I finally concluded for the travelling merchants and they finally realised that they could have more to spend home with their children and the children could be placed at the Keating’s Day Care Centre.

“Yes Sir, we understand. We would teleport to the towns using the map function instead of using the caravans and using these vest to take the orders. That’s a wonderful idea, sir, you really have thought it all.” exclaimed a young merchant.

“Other companies would do away with so many manpower and cut down to half, but for me, there is no need to do it since we provide a livelihood to all of you and all of you do take care of Beauty World’s name and reputation very well.”

“You would start after your one week break. All of you deserved it. And now we move on to the deliveries.” I declared to the part of the deliveries.

“You would be staying back as usual and sort out all the deliveries that are being required by each town. Once you had done so, teleport to each town, one at a time to distribute it to the customers and return back here to get the next one and this procedure repeats until you are done for the day.”

“It may look troublesome at first but the store assistant would be able to process the orders for you as you settle each of the towns. Just begin packing for two towns first and then you may proceed for your deliveries.”

“You may start work by 8 am and ends by 5 pm where the original travelling merchants would return every time they got the orders to process them ASAP. It cuts down on waiting time and I’m sure you would be helping the company in a great way.”

“Would there be any questions?” I questioned before I proceeded on further and everyone understood my intent clearly.

“In that case, there’s no objection, these new operations start by the next day of your week-long break. Thank you for being part of the Beauty World family and I sincerely hope to have you around for many years to come. Here, everyone has a vest each. This brings you good luck since the cost of arms were also being used by the members as well.”

I stated to them as I bade them good luck and well wishes for being employed and made sacrifices along the way for the development of Beauty Worlds business all over the towns.

The thought of meeting Pointus and Joan would be next as I sent word for them to meet me up for mid-afternoon tea since it would be better to talk to both of them at the same time and have them loggerheads to rake up ideas and other innovations.

After the 60 guests had left, I went to the kitchen to observe the progress for the pizza. Since there had some experiments ice to make the crust, I had them fill the crust with sausages all around it.

There would be 4 types of meats, the pork in the inner circle, followed by beef, chicken and mutton on the outermost circle. Layers of sliced tomatoes, pineapple, onion rings, olives, mushrooms and some tangy fruits, strawberries and green apple slices were lined on top after the meat had been spread out.

Then the 3 types of cheese were sprinkled on top and its done to be sent to the fiery earthen oven and each pan pizza was at least 28 inches in diameter. We had made 4 pan pizzas and all of them were able to fit inside the oven. As usual, the pan pizza would be rotated in order to be cooked evenly.

I went to sit in the cosy corner because every time I get involved in the kitchen I would smell of food. I wondered how those chefs in the hotels would be able to withstand hours on their feet and spending hours in preparation of foods et cetera. It must be a great chore for them.

By mid-afternoon, the pizzas were ready and they were being sliced according to 10 each per pan and kept back inside the oven to keep it warm. Everyone came back on time and the slices of pizza were grabbed up within seconds as the members all had their share and went back to their tasks.

Pointus and Joan were present as I began to address the need for their combined expertise. “Good day to both of you. Thank you for coming to our humble Castle here and I wish to seek your cooperation in order to accomplish these two tasks.” I began as I hope they would stop bickering for once and work out something beneficial for Beauty World.

“Pointus, I need 8 colour pigments from you which would be white, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Let me know the prices later and I need a vat of that, maybe about 50 litres each?”

“So Audemars, it would like paint from a pastel of colours, right? That won’t be too hard if I were to acquire a 300ml for you but for a 50 litres vat, I think it would be achievable in about 2 weeks time I suppose.” Pointus replied as he counted the number of days to achieve the desired amount required by me.

“That’s right, Pointus, the 7 colours of a rainbow including white. Take your time and let me know ho much it is”

“Joan, we really need your help in your expertise in alchemy. We would like you to prepare us ethyl acetate and an organic polymer. These two products would be used for some new products. Provide a small sample off us to test first and let me know the prices, please.”

“A small coal would be enough, like a 50ml solution each for testing?” Joan inquired and I answered affirmatively to her since it would be a great way for these two to work together.

“Another thing is, does anyone know how to make glitter out from synthetic fluorphlogopite? It would be a great help as it doesn’t harm the environment. I intend to incorporate it with the current products.” I mentioned and Pointus and Joan suddenly looked at each other.

Seeing them glanced each other eye to eye I can help but inquire in their current status. “It is like this Audemars, making the synthetic fluorphlogopite would require both Joan and my expertise to combine and work together.”

“We had never worked together before and I wonder how the results would be.” Pointus articulated to us and was a bit sceptical to gather such resources and to produce such an ingredient together.

“There are ways the first time, put aside the differences and then come up with a solution. There are some basic colours that I need you to work with me such as the colours that I had mentioned including black, silver and gold colour. There would be a total of 11 glitter colours and I would like you to produce a kilogram each for the moment.”

“No buts, squabbles or bickering when comes to a customer’s request right? Let me know how long it is required for you to complete both Projects and let me know how long would everything be done.”

“Thank you so much for your attendance and participation. I hope with both of your involvement, it would help Beauty World to grow.” I thanked them for coming and also in a way I had managed to trap these two in embarking with our Beauty World projects.

Acetone that would be made into two uses; one for nail polish remover and the other would be used for the production of perfumes.

Organic polymer to be used for 7 colours of nail polish with 5 grades of hues per colour with and without glitter. That would make up 70 types of nail polishes.

Currently, there are 9 eye shadows and it would be another 9 with glitter and the total number of new products that would be churned out in the production plants would be 80 with the exclusion of perfumes that would be on the drawing board.

“Hah hah hah… These two have to work with one another despite their differences and the only to make it happen is for me to get them to loggerheads together.”

“80 new products and maybe I would make 20 perfumes and then that’s it. It is not easy to make perfume especially when they have 3 kinds of tones in them.”

“There’s going to be Rhumba as I turn the whole order of the production around once more.” I snickered as I thought of the fun I would generate for the next weeks before the new products would be up for sale.

And so, its back to the notepad as I planned the next course of actions for the induction of the new range of products.
