Chapter 475: Herb Garden Head
The negotiations with the thunder god temple went for more than a day. They kept on arguing as the thunder god temple started their baseline at the forty percent stake and keep on reducing their rate step by step and Sam stayed in the five percent line for more than half-a-day.
And after persistently staying there for such a long time, he increased his offer by two percent, and finally after another half a day of Moriya's persistent struggle Sam finally agreed to give nine percent away.
After that, Sam started preparing other things, now there is a way for the citizens to move from one empire to another because Sam started making sea transport possible.
It is made as a luxurious cruise. Now, he doesn't have to worry about the thunder god temple finding out their troops' existence directly in the empires.
Within in a week, they already started doing business in the parks. The activation doesn't need much more than the installation of the energy cells.
And he did it within a week. As for the so-called core construction with the cement and Pre-casting method and they just added some superficial decorations all over the parks and be done with that.
The thunder god temple couldn't find anything regarding this. But this time, since the existence of the associations are completely eliminated from the face of the earth and the Usaine sect which was supposed to be the one replacing the three associations and maintain the standard was also gone completely.
Sam could take advantage of the situation and decided to make preparations to completely eliminate the orthodox thinking and methods.
He would be the pioneer of this world's interpretation of technology.
And the first step would be to establish his teachings on all sides of the empire. Simply put, he would set up a school in an empire of every major power.
Since there is one on the western continent, he doesn't need another one.
His next school will be in the Kali empire of the Beast faction and the third one in the Arsin empire.
Since he recruited the new members and have a lot of new members, he can do this and give them more opportunities and at the same time expand the horizons of the teachers and the students with an occasional rotation of the employees and even student exchanges, interschool competitions and such will allow them to grow and develop with a broader perspective.
This might take a while and this large-scale construction might take a while, but this would allow him to set the standard and wouldn't let the previous unorthodox and stubborn methods with no room for creativity, (Just like Indian Education System) come to light once again.
And he would be the one setting the standards and designating the professions. The world will have a new industrial revolution making the stubborn professional hierarchy and methods vanish.
Anyway, he has got all three spatial rings which have almost all the important documents of the artisan associations. As for the orthodox methods and techniques of the library that are plundered by the major powers, but they are not something Sam doesn't have.
The major powers might want to create their own standards with this knowledge and resurrect the associations, but it would be too late.
Because, Sam already made his move and the Beast faction, Thundergod temple, and Usaine sect regions' professionals are all mostly injected into his organization. There are only three more major powers left.
And Sam's guess is not too far off, that is also the reason why thunder god temple and the Lightning Spear sect took away the two association heads.
They are planning to take over one of the associations each and spread throughout the world and create the next generation of the artisans with the help pf the association heads they took away and the Herb Garden is still setting their sights on the Pharmaceutical association.
But they don't know that they are too late. And it would take time to realize because their initial and most important task at hand is to activate the parks and cut a deal with Sam. Particularly, after they realized that the thunder god temple has already made the deal, there is no way the remaining three major powers would sit still.
At this moment, the Herb garden head has visited the Usaine sect, now known as the Dusk Organization.
Named after the translation of Sam's Indian name. [Syam: Evening]
The Herb garden head visited to meet with Clark to ask if he has any way to meet Sam and he was greeted with a pleasant surprise.
The Space Gate of the Arsin was now put to use.
The first thing Arc did when he took over is to destroy the area surrounding the Space gate as if it was newly created. He did that so discreetly that no other major powers couldn't pick on that.
The Herb garden head made his way through the space gate and arrived at Sam's city and was surprised to see the majesty of it as a whole.
He has seen the videos of the city and even the prototype products that Sam had given them. But the real thing is nothing compared to the video. He could feel the overall energy connection between the buildings of the city.
Arc didn't stay with him for the journey and just led him to an administrative officer of the city and went back to the Dusk.
The admin officer took him to Sam's office inside the school and all this while the Garden head kept on asking questions as if he was a completely curious little child who came out for the first time.
The most interesting thing for him at the moment is the bee puppet. The Bee puppet is following the admin officer as if it was his pet, he even saw other officers having the same type of puppet but with different colors all over their bodies following them.
Even though, the puppets didn't perform any of their usual tasks, that only increased his interest in this puppet.
When they reached the office, Sam is busy with a lot of paperwork and brainstorming. There are some special patents he has to verify and something related to the new plans of the schools and so on.
But as soon as the herb garden head came, he stopped his work and greeted him. After both of them exchanged pleasantries that are completely fake, the garden head finally came to the point.
"We want to make a deal with you regarding parks."
Sam replied with a smile on his face. "I am always open for business."
"Then, can we talk about the stake?"
"I will assume you would have already known about the deal with the thunder god temple, but I cannot give you the same amount of stake. I can only give away five percent."
"Mr. Sam. Don't you think you are being a little biased here? Four percent is a large piece. You cannot show that much favoritism."
Sam chuckled at his words and said.
"You are getting the wrong idea, Garden head. There is no favoritism, in fact within the current major powers, I have most conflicts with the thunder god temple as I have some enemies who went for my life there.
The reason I gave them that stake is because of another exchange, you might have already heard from Clark that I am looking for the ancient puzzle boxes that use formations and inscriptions to unlock.
They exchanged that thing with me and I gave them that stake in the exchange. On top of that, if I have to blunt you are an accomplice of the three associations when you agreed to make a deal with them regarding the parks even after you knew that the designs are stolen from me.
The only reason I didn't react is that the parks are still not activated. Now, that you couldn't do it, you are asking me for help.
That is not fair for my side if you think."
Sam said in a somewhat melancholic tone.
The Garden head turned awkward at this moment.
He didn't expect that Sam would directly bring this up.
"Is there no way around this situation?"
Sam had a deeply thoughtful expression and said after some silence.
"I do have a way to work around this issue, but I don't know if you will agree with it."
"Please do tell. We can negotiate."
"I need land in one of your empires. You must have seen the size of the compound we are in. I need the same size of land and permission to open the school."
"School?"
"Yes, a school. This is one of my life goals. To educate people. That is why I established this school we are in. All the city, parks, and other things I did are all for this. I will be teaching orphans. I am an orphan myself. So, this is something very dear to me."
Now it was Garden head's turn to be silent and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
