the Innkeeper |

Who want to do nothing, becomes an innkeeper?
When Egemund took over the enterprise of his father, one thing was very clear to him: This can't continue anymore... The old gentleman was associated with the wrong people and had, beside robber's knight celebrations, also another thief's association. When examining the inheritance, he recognized, that many crimes of which he had heard off, was commited by his own father!
When Egemund had learned that, he made
very clear to himself to immediately sell the
criminal possession of his father. The first step into a
respectable career was then the establishment of an economically
sound business. After one year, the new building was
built, the
criminal artifacts of the father sold and the profit was
donated to
the church. Egemund wanted to put together his own life and to start over,
so his children should look back, once again, with
pride.
Egemund took the old horse trucks
and sent these to the market to buy a raw materials. "I am to
pick up which weapons, my godfather",
ask the driver of the truck. "No weapons", answered
Egemund, "rye and barley, we manage a pub! And do not call
me godfather!"
The truck driver
went on his way and grinned: "Of
course,
MASTER", he stressed and winked at Egemund.
The
remnants of the father had to be shaken off for sure, but nothing
will help more than a hard work, which will, with the time, move everything
forward.
Egemund, now occupied with his first apprentices
in the new pub, engaged himself to have everything ready for the first
guests to came. Unfortunately, the menu selection was not yet
particularly rich, but that should change in the future.
In the afternoon, when the trucks come back from the market and the
workers began with the production of a beer and meals to be prepared for the guests
on the next day, he finely feel relaxed.
After couple of years, the
life had normalized itself. The people no longer look at Egemund with suspicion
and the town guards did stop watching the inn, also they had given up searching the trucks.
The
business ran well in
the meantime. The apprentices had picked up more
experience and his own abilities went up as well. Egemund
also didn't sit still, he had visited old breweries and
learned a lot from it. His workroom was now decorated with plenty
new master documents. He earned to be a head in his
own enterprise. Since the last years were very
successful, he got also the badly needed
money. One year later he stood proudly in front of
his, now expanded, hotel. He just initiate a new apprentice, who his
workers should
support and help to grow and to gain more experience. In the new
building was more room and the workers will be starting the production
of a new beer, of which he had learn on his travels. Egemund had
heard grumbling lately and repeatedly among the guests, about quality of the served beer . They were obviously wrong about the timeless diluted beer...
But
that should now change. Egemund showed his workers the technique
for a new beer to take a place. He had
drunk this strong beer on a training course in
Kullembach. (Next day he had a hard time to remember
who he was). He put a lot of effort to get his hands on
the formula... He called his new brand "Fahnenbraeu". The
procedure he had, will bring Prague to a small city.
Now
he went to
the opening of the new hotel. Many guests were to be taken
to the new room presented for an inspection. They were
enthusiastically excited from the extensions, but looked however
somewhat bored, when there was again only a weak beer to
be served. A little later, one worker appeared and whispered
to the Egemund ear, that the first barrels were filled up,
so now the new beer can take over.
Egemund clap his
hands, as a signal to give a speech. The
guests looked at themselves again bored, because they
had expected and feared that. But Egemund did wait for this a long
time and didn't care. Finally he had managed that, on this
day. He told the crowd about his endless journeys,
the countless beverages he had
to taste from the unheard lands. When hardly anybody listened, he unleashed the
cat from the bag: "...and I look forward to present the new specialties and invite all of you to be
the first one's allowed to drink it!
From today on, they will be served in this house!" It
broke out an enormous rejoicing, when the whole
personnel with trays full of strong beer and "Fahnenbraeu"
came into the guest room. Egemunds name was praised over and over again and he blushed as the evening went on and more guests was giving him a pat
on his shoulder... It was a very long
night, the truck drivers did work overtime, each of them hardly
made the trip home on their own legs...
The
news of the new miracle beer had spread fast around and the
favorable reception of it was better then expected. Some of those,
which were carried home on the first evening,
returned again to the teensy weensy beer. The strong
drinkers called them from now on "the piss beer drunkards", but usually only
behind their backs...
Egemund worked in the next years
further on his training. He acquired title after
title and then he was finally appointed as the patron. The
highest honor of his guild. His house was fully developed and
all the profits from the new brands could be spend on an
expansion of his business. Besides of all of this, he had tried some
new formulas out and had installed an "Alchemist's
distillery". With the new distillery came new brand
of products and his inn has became famous for centuries
to come...
Egemund had reached the sky now, what he
ever wished for, he accomplished. He wanted himself to
retire and hand over the business to his son, when
he met with a good-dressed buyer from another city. They
talked about all kinds of things
and then the guy mentioned the enormous sums the other cities
will pay for the benefit to have such a fine products, just
the watery beer was served there...
Egemund thought about this evening for a long time
, and finally he began new training
as a merchant, with the goal to make his products available
in other cities......
... that is another story nevertheless! |

Notes to table I: |
One receives so-called of standard prices (in the table EK) and times, if one clicks in the transportation menu on a commodity (right) and the mouse button keeps pressed. The standard prices are probably an average prices, around which the market price moves. The standard time for your product seem to refer to the worker as an apprentice in a minimum developed enterprise. The effectiveness can be thus substantially higher, however conditions should remain approximately alike... also in fully developed enterprises |

Putting one and notes to table II: |
1. Stue/Tag: Expecting production of this
commodity with the worker as an apprentice in a normal enterprise. 2. Kos/Stue: Raw
material costs from tab I + costs
apprentice/day/Stue/Tag 3. N-price: Normal
selling price (determines with right mouse button). So
this kind should be primary at the native
market. 4. Gew/Stue: Piece of profit thus
n-price - Kos/Stue... 5. Gew/Tag: Gew/Stue x
Stue/Tag, thus how much profit can make one worker/day
with this product under normal conditions... 6.
FP/S: Piece of faraway market price. I determined
this price manually as a remote dealer. I have a price
gewaehlz, which one can obtain on the average approx.
every 3 years. The extreme prices (century prices) are
appropriate for still about 20% more highly. For the
goods with one (-) I never received an offer in the
remote trade in my career! 7. FG/T: Remote
operating profit/day, like Gew/Tag only in the remote
trade
