Trouble for your Tea?

The use of pots for storing things had now spread throughout the kingdom of Mangeto. Lui was now getting many orders from other parts of the kingdom also. The nearby territories of Lump, the county of Lacona, the barony of Frontera and even the capital of kingdom Mangeta itself placed many orders for salt, pots and paper. Lui ramped up the production and expanded his business. He bought another shop, this time in Central Hunby, capital of Lump and specialised it to only sell pots and paper. He put Bill incharge of that shop.

Tea cultivation was the first thing Lui did on land. If tea was success, he would buy more lands to grow tea and also start growing coffee. But growing things took a long time. So Lui had to look for other things. He also got the knowledge of balls.

Lui spend the rest of his time gathering resources to make the balls. He would need rubber and leather. Acquring rubber would be costly as Lump had no rubber production. He had to order rubber from Lacona. While they were being delivered, Lui was just sitting around managing his shops which he now named Ruman Stores. He planned to open branches in atleat every noble territories.

"Hey are you the owner of the shop? " An old man wearing the attire of a buttler asked Lui. "Yes I am. How can I help you? "

"I am from the County of Lacona. My master, the son of Count Lacona wants to purchase your Ruman Stores and set it up in Lacona. He is willing to generously spend 5000G to buy it. " The buttler said. Lui was slowly getting angry. Who were these nobles who had no prior knowledge about these businesses and just wanted to profit from the hard work of commoners. Even if he was one of the nobles but he was a bastard. Bastards were frowned upon in the Kingdom's nobility.

Also he used 20000G to grow his shop. He was being offered 5000?

"And if I refuse? " He asked. The buttler sighed and said "We will be forced to take extreme measures. You can even get hurt, your shop can get boycotted among the nobles. " He said with a hint of anger laced in his voice.

"If you have nothing else to say then please get out from my shop. "
