=====
Enova Trading Company is a large company with its head office in the royal capital and branches in major cities in the country.
So, naturally, they are also doing transactions with neighboring countries.
One by one, we began to receive notices from our business partners in those neighboring countries.
The contents were almost the sa as what we had already received from major stores in this country.
Yes, of course, they have also been notified by the new rchants, mbers of the , who are selling Viscount Yamanos products exclusively in their respective countries. >We will not do any business with any rchants who are doing business with the Enova Chamber of Comrce>
Of course, under normal circumstances, the loss of business with a single, small, erging rchant would not be a big problem. Instead, it would be much better to continue doing business with the large stores in the neighboring countries.
However, that was not the case this ti.
Nobles, royalty, and other influential people, who are our important custors, place orders in large quantities for products from Viscount Yamanos domain, which is currently enjoying a great reputation. We couldnt say that it wasnt available.
The mont we say such a thing, we would be cut off from our position as the appointed rchant and our business partners would move to other rchant families.
There was no other choice.

[Damn it, whats going on]Owner
One of the watchn, who had finally gotten the information, reported the situation to the owner of the Enova Trading Company, who scratched his head.
The stores in this country and other countries have taken this attitude after being notified by a certain rchant.
[What the hell? This must be the work of the little girl from the Larushia trade! No, why would a little girl like that have such power]Owner
The owner of Enova Trading had completely beaten the Larushia trade.
Shes just the daughter of a dium-sized rchant family, a novice shopkeeper, and has no backing other than her father.
I heard that even her father did not have a good relationship with her, as she left the house as if she had a quarrel with her father and went out on her own. And her fathers store would be easily destroyed if he made an enemy of the Enova Trading Company.
In other words, theres no one to help her. That was the way it was supposed to be
So, if I threaten them a little, they should easily do as I say.
Then, we can get the exclusive right to sell Viscount Yamanos products in this country, make that little girl a decorative manager of one of the branches, and use her as a mistress.
So I approached her to offer an absorption-type rger, but she refused.
Well, shes still a young girl, unaware of the realities of life and pursuing the reckless dreams of youth.
The business owner, who nostalgically rembers a little when he was young and thinks that its okay to let her dream co true for a second, was kind and uncharacteristic, and at first, he should make a normal deal with her.
Of course, he has to make sure that he will benefit greatly from it.
He then approached Larushia Trading to offer a deal.
The offer was to sell the product to them at a discount of two, or eight tis less than the wholesale price offered by Larushia Trading.
She imdiately refused.
Mitsuha did not allow stores that were mbers of the to change the wholesale prices of products from the Viscount Yamanos domain.
This was partly because Mitsuha disliked that kind of approach, but also because she knew that as a young woman was the owner of the business, there would definitely be soone who would try to bargain aggressively, almost threateningly.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for them to reject such things, they decided that .
However, even if Mitsuha hadnt instructed her to do so, Larushia would have refused on her own
If you include the purchase price, personnel costs such as clerks and security guards, store rent, maintenance and managent costs, utilities, entertainnt costs, supplies, taxes, and various other expenses, the net profit after taxes is less than 20% of the sales. (However, this excludes General Trade Mitsuha.)
So, if the price was cut by 20%, they will be in the red.
Mitsuha is the only one who is raking in the profits from the outrageous profit margins, while the mber stores of the are purchasing the products at a reasonable price.
Still, not a single person complained about the price, as it was an excellent product, to begin with, and had been transported from a distant country by ship for months.
Even so, its still quite a lot of money, and its definitely a huge advantage over other stores since they also buy other general rchandise on top of prioritizing the goods produced in Viscount Yamanos territory, it was Larushias pride and joy
Anyway, despite the fact that there are a lot of steps to take, whats so sad was that they had to sell them at a loss.
Since the Larushia Trade is an erging store, and the owner is a young woman, they could have taken advantage of her and taken over the business from her.
Of course, Larushia knew that much.
If Larushia Trade doesnt do what he wants, he will try to crush them and take away their purchasing routes
But he thought he could go through by comrcial ans, like selling at a discount.
And now, because of the unexpected and apparently unacceptable illegal and vicious attack on the Larushia trade, they bared their fangs and fought back.
The letter that was sent to each of the rchants simply stated that We would not do any business with the six rchants or any other rchants or individuals doing business with them. No one was saying that those six were the culprit behind the attack on the Larushia Trade.
Moreover, it is up to the rchants to decide with whom and under what conditions they want to do business. Theres no reason for anyone to complain about it.
So theres nothing that the Enova Chamber of Comrce can do for the Larushia Trade in this matter.
Except for illegal acts.
However, many people in the country and the surrounding countries knew about the notice from the Larushia Trade. If sothing happened to the Larushia Trade now, it was obvious who would be suspected, so they could not do anything crazy.
The owner of the Enova Chamber of Comrce was also a successful rchant in his younger days and was once known as the .
However, now that I had the power, I could buy what I wanted to buy, and I could manipulate prices at will. And it was impossible for other stores to ignore my requests.
Therefore, it did not occur to him how much other small and dium-sized rchants feared losing their connection to the Larushia Trade, and that they would prioritize this over so minor displeasure from the Enova Chamber of Comrce.
When a tiger gets old, gets used to a peaceful life, gets fat, and loses its fangs, it is no better than a house dog.
And now, a pack of ferocious she-wolves was about to attack the old tiger.
