At the Ritter family headquarters...
Between Lothur's won, Rebecca cared for this place and looked after her husband's many slaves.
As soone who couldn't show herself in Peters City, she had been taking care of this place, training hard not only to decrease her distance from the others but also to help the people in this group.
Several forr prisoners of the Imperial Prison were close to advancent, so since she had plenty of free ti, she had been training with those closest to advancent.
After days of doing this, putting together training and the resources the family had to nurture them, three people advanced to level 18 and eight to level 17.
At this mont, she was talking to so of those slaves close to advancing when suddenly soone appeared at that secret estate's entrance, drawing the watchers' attention.
But no one moved. Such a person was part of the group and followed the protocols to approach the area and enter the facility.
Monts later...
"Miss Böttger, we have a problem between the provinces of Ganz and Hassell. Miss Frost wants us to send a group to solve a problem with beasts in the area that are making things difficult for the company's plans."
"Oh?" Rebecca frowned but then turned to one of the n near her and said. "Get Alois and Elmar. They will form a group with 8 Nascent Soul Transcendents and set out to solve this problem."
With those orders, a few n soon moved to start forming that group.
...
In another part of Peters City, Elke was eting with representatives of the partners of the Ritter Motor Company at a local restaurant.
As leaders of a multi-partner firm, the won of Lothur had been finding ways to satisfy their partners and give them more predictability about their actions.
On this particular day, she t with more than 30 people to tell them about sothing she had recently thought of for them.
She raised a glass of wine at the end of a long rectangular table and asked for silence.
"Alright, everyone, let's talk about serious things now. We recently decided to propose so internal rules for the company, and I want to introduce so of them to you now."
So of her subordinates then started distributing docunts to these people while Elke continued.
"The Ritter Motor Company has a lot of potential to develop, but we know how important it is for our shareholders to see results or feel the effects with coins.
As such, in the next 3 months, we will start distributing dividends to shareholders, which should happen twice a year and should not exceed 40% of our profits."
Upon hearing the idea of receiving parts of this company's profits, so imdiately smiled, while others less keen on it frowned.
One of them asked. "Miss Becker, wouldn't it be wiser to use all the profit to reinvest in the company? I believe there is a better chance of a return for everyone that way."
Elke looked at that person and answered the question of so others there. "We will allocate 60% of the profits for that, which will not be a small amount.
But we will create a chanism for investnts in the company for those who want their coins to remain within the company. We will introduce that a few weeks before the first profit distribution."
She saw the most concerned people's expressions improve a little and add. "In addition, the Ritter family and so other partners will decrease their positions in the future. Then we will get more resources to invest in the company in a future auction.
Also, with the new factory stores around Leopoldine, we will accumulate a lot of coins from new orders, enough to continue expanding our operations rapidly."
As the Ritter Motor Company received half the value of the vehicles sold at the ti of order, this gave them enough capital to invest in new factories, personnel, and material.
Other companies in this world would have to invest everything at the beginning and only sell the product when it is ready. But Lothur's company was selling their products and even had a small profit margin before they started producing their products!
Therefore, Elke and the others were comfortable distributing parts of their profits twice a year.
After these last words, the still, slightly worried n smiled in satisfaction, seeing that more coins would go into future auctions, but not only that, the Ritter family might lose control over the company in the future.
That was excellent for several of these representatives of powers outside the Linn Province and Leopoldine!
...
While Elke explained so new company rules to the partners, Annaliese was with the group of spectre hunters in Peters City.
After the decision to create this group was made, the families involved in it assigned the people and coins that had been asked for earlier.
Annaliese had made herself available to lead these people, for she wished to hunt and slaughter spectres above everyone.
As their headquarters had been quickly built over the past few days, she and the mbers of the Spectre Hunters Association were at this very mont at the headquarters of their newly founded organization.
With only 180 mbers, her group was not that strong, but it was slowly growing!
With the resources they had at hand, so people from this group were already traveling around the empire in search of Church posts where they could find older demon hunters.
But on this day, one such man from the Church's port in Peters City showed up at this association's headquarters after hearing a generous proposal.
Thus, at the present mont, Annaliese and the group of strongest people in that group were in a room receiving such a person.
Looking at that level 15 demon hunter, Annaliese asked. "Mr. Gregor Wahl, the proposal you heard is indeed true. We will pay 300 gold coins monthly to demon hunters at your level who join our group."
People at level 15 usually received between 150 and 200 gold coins per month of work. Therefore, the proposal of this newly ford association was quite generous for soone already at the end of his life, as was the case with Gregor.
Upon hearing the confirmation of this brown-haired young woman, old Gregor continued with his serene expression and asked. "Is the purpose of this group to hunt spectres? What will be my role in joining you?"
"Yes. And you would train our people and, if necessary, help us kill spectres that get in our way or are reported around our area of operation.
For now, we will only operate near Peters City, as our group is small. But we intend to expand our operations to the entire province later this year."
"Is that so? Then I agree to join you..."
