[Milo L'Evienne]

”Of course,” Milo said of the need for the forge to be situated near the water in advance of Malkaer’s explanation of mass production. ”Specialization makes sense so far as efficiency is concerned. I suppose then that the forge would employ a greater number of workers than it might otherwise in order to yield the sort of return you’ve in mind. More workers mean a higher payroll as a result, to what extent will that offset the lower production costs?” he asked in the wake of a swallow of his coffee.

Asking that he turned to another subject, that of startup costs. The Hannah had paid for itself and it’s refitting several times over just one month after her maiden cruise even with a full twenty percent going to a handful of charities but in this case, he imagined initial costs would be quite high and time needed to begin showing a profit. ”So what do you predict to be the initial investment to see this forge up and running, as compared to the amount of time to begin showing measurable returns?”

ooc: ack, apologies for the short post.
