Chapter 158: The Setup

Two weeks later, the company building was finally cleared of its trash, webs, dilapidated parts and anything that had cracks on it.

Kahn hired a reputed renovation & interior designing company. They were given a deadline of 4 weeks until the opening.

Meanwhile, Kahn was in touch with Szayel. He knew how hard it was for someone without powerful connections to get a business license and permit to start a manufacturing company.

Although he had all the documentation and necessary proof required to prove it was a legit business, Kahn knew that he could also get the permit by bribing the people in charge with a hefty sum. But why waste extra cash when you can ask your powerful backer for help?

And as he expected, the Vandereich clan had some of their people working in this sector of government too. All it took was a word from Szayel and in just two weeks, Kahn had the permit and all the documented certificates to officially open their business.

Meanwhile, they had used various worker hiring companies who acted as a the medium to help you hire skilled laborers based on the type of work experience and skillsets you need. The one in charge to inspect and personally conducting these interviews was Albestros himself.

Kahn did not dare to meddle in the interviews because some things should be left to the real experts.

His part was to conduct interviews and approve candidates they'd need for logistics and management. And so far, things had been going in their favor. In the span of two weeks alone, they had successfully hired 800 workers.

Five hundred of them were normal laborers they'd require for transportation of goods, processing of the products and aid the main apprentices and normal blacksmiths in forging procedure. Since the tools related to forging weapons and armors were advanced from the standard methods Kahn had read in novels and even watched the videos on the internet, he was not worried about the inefficiency of production.

Out of the remaining workers, hundred and thirty were the forgers varying from normal to intermediate rank. Albestros had personally handpicked them after scouring from over 2 thousand candidates.

Our of the rest, Kahn chose nearly hundred peoifor security and the remaining 70 were trained & experienced people for logistics, management and maintenance.

All of their employees various from different species and races so he wasn't worried about a certain group dominating the work environment later.

Currently, Kahn was the head of Logistics and Security in the name.

Although they could've easily hired more than two thousand employees.. The business hadn't even started and he didn't want to rely on the Vandereich clan for the manpower.

It would be no different than planting someone's spies in your own ranks.

The best thing Kahn found during the interviews was that the contract system was not only documented but also had magic playing a big part in it. If you sign a contract for working for someone for a certain amount of time and agree on the terms of payment.. The employer could also choose a Blood-Bind contract.

This contract cost him over 200 Gold coins for each of the employees and normally, it would be seen as foolish for a starting business to go through this type of agreement. But Kahn was more interested in the benefits that came with this type of contract.

The employee can not divulge any form of inside information related to their work to anyone outside or someone from the competition. Whatever type of work they do should not leave the company. No form of treason to the employer was allowed after signing this contract. If the employee broke any of the terms mentioned in the contract, they would lose a working body part as punishment through the magic seal that was placed upon their body.

To Kahn, who had already learned to be cautious and prepare for backstabbing at any moment, this was like a godsend help conditioned to meet his requirements.

Because he'd rather have troublemaker employees who'd be loyal to him than having abiding and sweet-talking snakes.

The former could be disciplined but the latter was always a threat.

When he revealed the contract during the final stages of recruitment, out of the three hundred candidates he chose, only seventy remained as soon as they heard that it was a Blood-Bind contract. That had segregated the people that actually needed the job and threw out all the possible spies from their competition who would certainly keep an eye on their rising rival.

The remaining matter was setting the working environment, equipment and machinery they required for production, processing and storage.

That single aspect took the vast majority of his capital. And Kahn almost felt like starting the business at this scale was a mistake.

But from his previous life's experience, he knew the most fundamental rule of gaining wealth.

TO MAKE MONEY, YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY.

If he backs out now, everything will go in vain.

As for the material and resources suppliers and the distributors who would sell their product to small-time shops at the manufacturing cost, he again asked the help from the vampire clan heir as they could provide him a deal using their name. And as a result, the people Kahn made deals with offered him discounts one wouldn't get without creating strong connections in high places.

Kahn had basically jumped ropes and all the struggles one would normally face before opening a business of this scale.

His decision to save Szayel that day, risking getting mixed in their faction wars and even face the clan leader of the vampires in a duel had turned out extremely fruitful and saved him a lot of time and trouble.

And all of this was just the beginning phase.

Later, he would have to hire more than two thousand employees, hire more professionals and security, purchase materials in bigger bulks along with paying for taxes, and various means to make their enterprise famous through word of mouth.

So far, out of the 21 million gold coins he had by robbing the Dead such as Dormammu, Arkham, Solomon, the people who attacked Szayel.. Kahn had to spend more than 15 million just for setting up the groundwork.

All of this was nothing but foundational work for a successful business. He knew that the main struggle would start after they officially opened.

But he had enough confidence in himself and he was no longer afraid of taking big risks like his previous life.

And as for the company name.. Both Kahn and Albestros agreed upon a decent and subtle name..
