Kallick was doing some rapid figuring in his head the business plan had earmarked a figure for labour costs and to Kallick’s amazement this deal over slaves actually might prove cheaper than the original estimates. However his fathers displeasure at the idea of running the plantation on slave labour was a stumbling block he was caught on the horns of a dilemma!
The practicalities of getting a harvest planted protected and picked versus the political objections of the Governor of Imperia.
Kallick thought furiously for a while “Very well Bubba I am going to hire you now and next brightening I expect to see you here with 100 indented workers ,we do not use the word slaves on this plantation. Your responsibility will be to produce a healthy profitable harvest, my duty will be to free the workers at the end of the harvest. As long as you and your associates can guarantee me a fresh supply of labour for next planting season to next harvest.”
I believe that this way I can get over my fathers objections and with a bit of luck we might be able to persuade some of these workers to stay on for next season.
Kallick was thinking with a long head this estate was only the beginning , if they turned a profit over two seasons the plan was to expand into different interests and a supply of labour was going to be useful especially if he could gain their loyalty to D ’Jones Industries.
OOc sorry for delay reviewing Pala's finances
