Chapter 1316: Grey Marsh
While Butler Si made arrangements to deal with Sam, the person in question is knee deep in research.
But he has to come out of it because, Grivon is asking so many doubts about the business and their strategy. Only when he once again met with him after this week did he understand, how much Grivon has done and how fast he managed to move.
Within a week, he established a factory with people to forge cylinders and people to draw the required inscriptions and finally the people to assemble and test the product properly.
He had done all of this in a week. Maybe the pre-existence of the building might have helped a lot, but it is still faster than Sam had expected. But on top of that, he actually had teams currently discussing deals with three different organizations.
His associate directly contacted the heads of the three different organizations, he kept his identity and his relation to the clan a secret, but he still managed to give them a taste of his strength and power so that the other party would be open and a bit more honest about the whole cooperation.
Now, he is having trouble because, he doesn't know which organization he should choose. He came to Sam once again since even his associate cannot pick one.
Sam looked at the profiles of the three organizations carefully.
"You have a very great opportunity here, but I don't know if you are capable of shouldering and powering through it."
Sam said casually as he took a sip of some wine.
"Opportunity, what is that?"
"The profiles of the three organizations are completely varying. They belong to different organizations but they also happened to be the top three organizations of this one large realm.
You can cut a deal with all three of them without stepping on anybody's toes."
"How is that even possible?"
"It is right before your eyes. Just how dumb are when it comes to business.
The first organization, is an overlord. They own half of the realm. They have superior authority over the realm and they don't have too much of their branches spread over to the other realms, because they know that the hold they have on their own realm is good enough.
After all, that is a realm with over thirty eight planets that have abundance of resources. If I were them, I would act like that as well.
Apart from the nineteen surely subordinate planets, the rest of the planets also had to give them some leeway for their businesses.
The remaining two organizations are considerably younger and weaker compared to the first one, they are just recently expanding and even though they are ranked number 2 and 3, their main strength comes from the external realms.
They knew they couldn't tackle the first organization with the resources inside the realm, so they expanded outwards and are increasing their strength, I must say they are doing really good as they managed to get a decent share over the market with their businesses in the given timespan.
But you don't have to consider their internal market grasp. You go for the first organization for the market grasp of that realm within which would defeat your sister, then you would go for the other two organizations for the external development.
You would supply all three of them.
First one, would sell the items in the realm, the second and third will export them to the different realms they are operating in.
It is that simple."
"But the heads of the three organizations don't see eye to eye, how can we make them all agree and make sure that they don't eat each other out."
"That is where your strength and promise come in. You use a carrot and stick method. You first make all three of them afraid of you and then you have to give them a promise that you would give the next batch of new products you might have to them.
At least, when it concerns the business within that realm and the realms they are exporting.
They have their own pies and they would eat them without eyeing others."
"That sounds so simple, why do you think that I didn't think of that?"
"Because of the same reason you said. You are retarded when it comes to business. But your business associate might have seen this, why didn't he tell you this."
"Well, he is kind of a linear person. He would only do the task that I ask him to do. I asked him to find the best options to cooperate, he did and when I asked his opinion which would be better choice between these three, he gave me the first one, since my objective is to take over my sister's market.
But I didn't ask for any alternatives that might benefit me, so he didn't give them to me."
Sam just shrugged.
"Then ask him from now on. Don't disturb me for every small thing."
"Well, I will ask him. But I am here for something else as well."
"What is it?"
"Sivan's branches. Give me a location. I need to flex my muscles a bit. I will personally lead a group take them down."
Sam thought for a moment and replied.
"Do you know the planet named Grey Marsh?"
"I know that, it is a planet in the realm not so far away from here. Does he have a branch on that planet?"
"Branch? He owns that planet. Every special, exotic beast that comes out of that planet is something he reared it inside. The organization that is ruling the planet is under him and they take the creations from one of the genetic labs, Sivan has and leave the creatures there is a controlled but natural environment.
They will grow enough after feeding on the creatures and he will hunt them and they will be sold out as exotic earth and water elemental beasts that are so desired by a large community.
Have you ever wondered, how he is managing to catch a few hatchlings as well whenever he had creatures? Because, he is only catching the creature from the marsh while he brought the hatchlings from the lab."
Grivon was dumbfounded.
"Grey Marsh is a neutral area, but we have some friends there. The organization you are saying that rules the planet are friends with one of my brothers."
"Isn't that brother's name, Gyron? I know of him too. He is feeding some of your information to the friends he had on Grey marsh which is ending up on the table of Sivan.
Why do you think all the conquests that were undertaken by the youngsters of your organization were completely gone wrong? Do you really think that it is a coincidence?
That strife between you guys and the younger generation of mari clan was actually caused by Sivan, because he was bored.
He wanted to see which group would win by staying united and he enjoyed it thoroughly."
"What? To enjoy it?"
"Yes, there is no other motivation, he didn't even care to look for the hidden forces that were brought out or the special weapons that were used, he had people record everything and he had those videos in his private collection.
Trust me, when I looked through those memories, even I was entertained."
"Holy shit. My brothers were played."
He looked horrified. Sam was a bit surprised.
"I thought you don't like your brothers."
"Of course, I don't. I am feeling sad because I missed this."
Sam was dumbfounded this time. He really fell in the middle of some twisted freaks.
"Anyway, since I gave you the location, do me a favor. Pick some of the beasts they created. It would be better if they are alive, but even the corpses would help and also my specter would be coming with you."
"Why?"
"I am going to collect the souls. I need them for something. Also, don't reveal your identities."
"Of course, we are not going to reveal your identities. When it comes to battle, I am sure I am better than most. Who knows, I might even better than you."
"Its good to have dreams, but it would be better if they made any sense. Now, go and take care of your business and don't disturb me for the next week, even if you came back with the task. I am at a critical juncture of my research."
Sam went back to research and Grivon went back to handle things on the other end.
He went to the business associate and explained Sam's plan.
"That is indeed plausible." The associate said nonchalantly.
"Did you know that before?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you tell me anything?"
"You didn't ask me for that. You said particularly when you hired me that I should just do as you asked and obtain the results that you want. I am doing the same."
"But this is a better result."
"Yes, it is. But this was not the result you wanted."
"Okay, okay. I am an idiot, if you have better plans, tell me from now on. Okay?"
"Yes."
After that small discussion, he went back to his troops and with a team of ten made his way to the grey marsh.
