Magnolia's sweet shop : a strategy game of confectionery

Shayper · 29 Dec 2012 at 10:54

I look forward to working with you.

Shayper · 29 Dec 2012 at 10:57

Mr. Devrij, I should be happy to check the shipment. However I will need 3 things - a slim silver knife, a centrifuge and at least one workstation computer. I will be happy to provide my services for free if these requests are matched. I earn my income... Let us say elsewhere, and having seen the scale of your plans, and knowing the industry inside out, you will need help.

It's "sir Devrij", thank you, but I will ensure that these items are in the limousine when it collects you.

Shayper · 29 Dec 2012 at 11:01

Noted. And thank you. If I am correct, these lollies have the inferior stick. You know what I mean.

Devrij · 29 Dec 2012 at 11:03

Mr Magnolia, it seems that with the trouble we seem to having acquiring stock from a reputable source, and with the hiring of an able chemist, perhaps we are in a position to manufacture our own confectionery? Of course this means more staff and greater workforce outlay, but it may save us money in the long run. I will continue to source stock where I can in the meantime, but let me know your thoughts.

I don't, I'm afraid. These lollies are of great importance, is this flaw so great that we cannot in good conscience sell this stock? I would be loathe to miss this opportunity if we can fix the problem. I will trust your judgement on the matter.

Shayper · 29 Dec 2012 at 11:05

I can provide the recipes, and sources for ingredients. However with business of this scale, you will need to manufacturing line.

Sourcing that will be up to you, I'm afraid.

And even though you never called or followed up on my clumsy advances, it was always you. Of course it was. We danced - you led and I followed as best I could and only the furrow on your brow told me when I got it wrong. Your firm grasp - oh!

Shall we dance again like we did before? Shall we dance once more? I miss you.

The issue we have here is there are generally two types of stick, paper and plastic. These ones, I believe, have the paper sticks. Which whilst consuming the lolly, rubs off in the consumers mouth. This can cause great distress, and lowers the overall taste quality. You could fix them, but it would be a great deal easier to find a more reputable source. I would suggest getting in contact with King Damager, as not only does he source the finest plastic sticked lollies, he can provide them at a lower price. I believe he can supply Haribo too.

This would seem appropriate.

I'm sorry, I have other things on my mind.

That is all we would require from you, but we shall have to wait to see how Mr Magnolia wants to proceed. The hiring of new staff is really his domain.

What is your verdict on the lollies? Can they be salvaged? If the stick is dangerous to our customers then I must inform Mr loam immediately and insist he provide a new shipment.

Also, do not trust loam. His attitude towards CB earlier was a ploy. They e trying to shut us down by supplying us with inferior and dangerous produce.

We refer all of our concerns to Legal and our friends at Sudden & Moses will manage this.

Please do not make wild accusations without having first conferred with them.

Apologies, I had missed this message. I'be been quite worried about Mr magnolia. If you can provide an introduction with Mr damager then I would be very happy to gain another business contact. Until we know he can source these lollies for certain, we must proceed with Mr loam I'm afraid. Tell Mr chase to collect the shipment, and I will just keep this in mind when or if I next meet with Mr loam.

Would you prefer to put this on hold then? As always I am your faithful employee, but really I feel it would be above my station to take on a project of such magnitude myself.

You see through me so clearly, sir. I would be most grateful. You will still require a good man to head up manufacturing, though, and I have enough on my plate already.

I'd like to see just how far you can grow this business, but after all this is your venture.

As Mr Magnolia has mentioned, this is a serious accusation and adhering to it could cause damage to the business. Furthermore, there are some who would look to enter Mr. Magnolia's business and try to cause damage from within. While you are no doubt a paragon of the community and would never do such a thing, we do have to consider the fact that you have arrived here from GD, a place filled with the worst of humanity.

Please submit detailed evidence backing up your claim. Video proof will be required. The more intimate the better.

Additionally, as Mr Magnolia seems to be interested in taking you on, I will send the relevant contract. Please sign in your own blood and return. I feel that I must alert you to the fact that as part of this contract, your soul will belong to me.

Dear Sir,

I'm afraid my colleague Moses has been absent as of late and is not anywhere to be seen. In light of this, and my expertise in sweetie tax matters, I would suggest I take over his role as well as any amount that you were compensating him and become sole counsel for the business. I will hire others as the need arises. This will lessen the number of people who have access to your trade secrets as well as the number of blood signatures required.

Please let me know your thoughts and I will draw up the paperwork.

On a separate note - I see that Mr Sin_Chase's services have been used extensively and are in great demand. I would suggest giving him a tax year end bonus and allowing him to recruit some soldiers in search of fortune and glory.

Kind regards,
Sudden

Hmm. The best way to see for yourself is to do the test I mentioned. I will be testing the lollies as and when the shipment arrives.
