"Hey do you know the new shops of Zan market city? They are selling a new type of weapon.The shop is called flame weaponaries or something. A weapon that doesn't depend on cultivation."
"Ya, you know right it will be a legendary weapon. People might give them to high clans but I didn't think the creator actually released it to common masses."
"But I bet he is earning a fortune. Tomorrow 3 new stores will be opened. Even with 2 stores there is always big line to the store. I heared that they have to hire high lvl mercenaries just to guard the stores. Ya big celebrities are sending there envoy just to buy the weapon."
"The production is so slow now us common people barely get anything now. I should have bought it at the beginning only..... Aaahh... I am so irritated. I was a fool".
A month after the openning Biswa was able to make trimendeous business. The first 10 days were not good but after trying the weapon the view of people changed.
A Crossbow although having the same launch principle, crossbows differ from bows in that a bow's draw must be maintained manually by the archer pulling the bowstring with fingers, arm and back muscles and holding that same form in order to aim (which demands significant physical strength and stamina), while a crossbow uses a locking mechanism to maintain the draw, limiting the shooter's exertion to only pulling the string into lock and then releasing the shot via depressing a lever/trigger. This not only enables a crossbowman to handle stronger draw weight, but also hold for longer with significantly less physical strain, thus capable of better precision.
Biswa was now hiring people after people to manage the shop. He now had 2 shops but will be opening another 3 because it was necessary for the lessening of the crowd.
Biswa who never did business thought it will be a piece of cake and he will get constant supply of money, he didn't think his business will be this big. His business is now flourishing at 20 times that of his expected. He had to sacrifice his libary time to make up for it. And he nearly for to cultivate. He is now at lvl 8 intermediate a d Zilong is at lvl 12 pinnacle.
Biswa gave many spirit stones to Zilong to increase his cultivation. Zilong was now really happy. He was happy that his cultivation was increasing.
Biswa property is now nearly 20 spirit stones.
He should have much more than that but the salary and expenditure of the new shops exceeds his expectations.
The price of the cross bow is increased to 3 golds and 50 copper per arrow. Biswa hired many high lvl Blacksmiths and nearly all of symbolist in vacant in Zan market city. After tomorrow its expected that his business will increase nearly 5 times but Biswa didn't think its a good thing because more money equal to more work.
Biswa sighed and though is he deviating from his original goal.
Zilong entered the room, "Sir, I have given your blueprint to the Blacksmiths and they made 20 of shorts once and 100 of long ones. Sir are you gonna introduce them tomorrow."
Biswa didn't speak but shook is head, "Now is not the right time. We can have to wait until we have at least 50 weapons."
Zilong was confused, "Why?"
"Well I think the demand of short bow will be much greater than the demand of long ones among the wealthy families So we have to release more of it."
Zilong nodded and went away.
Since many wealthy families came over the past month. Biswa himself had to learn Blacksmiths and symbolist occupation. As you know as long as Biswa read something he will get the corresponding skill, it was not hard for Biswa to learn. So the new weapons 'short' and 'long' crossbow which Biswa like to refer has been directly made by him. This weapons not only were better but also had better design.

BRANCHQUARTER OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A tall building, which is a branch of the original chamber of commerce. Chamber of commerce is made up of all merchants. They are all CEOs of medium size company dealing with various business in merchant city of Zan. In Zan merchant city there was no company which can be said to be large company but consist of various small companies. It's not that high lvl company doesn't want to do business but are afraid that they might make the behamoth clan angry at them if they extend their hand towards the city.
A meeting was being held in the Chamber of commerce currently.
It was a round table meeting surrounded by 12 people. They were CEOS of their respective company.
"The newly emerger company had done really something. Nearly 30% of decrease in sales is there in the last month."
"I had 35%"
"Thuram you are the association president what are you gonna do about it?"
"What do you expect me to do? They are in a business like we are. I was actually thinking him a member of our association. " Thuram, a man with a large beard and little hair. The looked elderly among all others. He had wrinkles in his face and looked 50. His gray hair had always been a symbol of wisdom in the association.
"Hmph, you will definitely be in favour because his sales also made profits for your inns. He is just lucky because someone sold him a good design."Beirong interpited him.
Beirong was the weathest merchant of merchant city in weaponeries.He looked over 40 and his big tump and fine clothes says he is weathy.
But that guy was downright aggrogant. He didn't care for anyone. He inherited most of the property from his death father. His father was a business tycoon but after his death the property was split up between 10 brothers. Even when he got a little money he decided to come to this baren place apart from all other.
He couldn't see any other doing better than him so thats why he ran away. Here too his character didn't change. All the people know he is not good guy so most tendes to stay away from him.
Upto the end of the meeting Beirong insisted of not accepting Gohan into the association.
At last there was a argument between Thuram and both ended without any decision. There was two different groups. One supporting Thuram and another supporting Beirong.
.........
"Sir Thuram, Beirong has now gone overboard. We are not afraid of him now. Its not like his brothers are there in his back anymore. I ask to take action immediately."
One merchant spoke.
Another supported him," I too cannot wait to watch Beirong work anymore. Now he is targetting new babies afterwards he will target us. If we donot take action he will come back to bite us like a snake."
"He will be more dangerous than snake. I suggest we repirt it to Punishment hall of Zan sect."
........
ANOTHER HALL
"Sir, Thuram is should be removed from post. That post belongs to you."
"We should attack before they begin their work."
Beirong was sitting comfortably slightly smiling, He rose from his set and went towards the window. The window opened and a person jumped inside.
All the people were startled.
Beirong said, "Relax he is my man." He looked towards the man and said, "Did they complete the task?"
"Yes Sir, 2000 crossbows are ready for launch. I brought a sample."
One merchant hesitated then said, "Sir this crossbow?"
The crossbow looked very shiny with various designs
"Doesn't this looked good though the mechanism is same the outer look is different. Much better than the tree branches of Flame store. His will be definitely draw others attention."
He then looked at the man who came earlier and said, "Spread rumour that the tree branch of Flame weaponaries are defective and we are the one selling the originals."
