Building a Conglomerate in Another World-Chapter 61: The Grand Opening

The summer sun shone brightly over Sylvania on the morning of June 15, 1883, as a crowd gathered outside the new flagship store of Hesh Motors. The building, constructed with a modern yet functional design, stood proudly at the heart of the city. Above the entrance, a large sign read:

"Hesh Motors: Driving the Future"

Inside the showroom, Matthew Hesh stood near the front desk, ensuring every detail was perfect. Beside him were Amber and the team of Hesh Motors staff, all dressed in sharp uniforms with the company logo stitched onto the chest. On the showroom floor, three gleaming automobiles took center stage: a sedan, a pickup truck, and an SUV. Each model was meticulously polished, reflecting the sunlight streaming through the large windows.

"Everything looks ready," Amber said, glancing at the polished automobiles. "Let’s hope the turnout matches the anticipation."

Matthew nodded, adjusting his tie. "It will. The advertisements, the driving schools, the demonstrations—it’s all led to this moment."

Outside, the line of people waiting to enter stretched down the block. Most were members of the upper class, dressed in their finest attire. Some held newspapers with headlines praising the innovative automobiles of Hesh Motors, while others discussed the features they had read about or seen during public demonstrations.

At precisely 9:00 AM, the doors were opened. Matthew and Amber stood at the entrance, welcoming the first visitors with warm smiles. The crowd flowed in steadily, their eyes immediately drawn to the automobiles on display. Your next chapter is on novelbuddy

The sedan, with its sleek design and focus on comfort, attracted professionals and families looking for a reliable means of transportation. The pickup truck, built for durability and utility, appealed to business owners and farmers. The SUV, larger and more versatile, caught the attention of those seeking both style and practicality.

"Okay, let’s greet our customer," Matthew said, inviting Amber.

Matthew approached a well-dressed man who was inspecting the Hesh-S 16, a stunning automobile that stood out with its long, elegant frame and powerful presence. The man, likely in his mid-40s, carried himself with the confidence of someone accustomed to wealth. His tailored suit and gold pocket watch hinted at his social status. He ran his hand thoughtfully along the polished hood, studying the vehicle’s design.

"Good morning," Matthew greeted warmly, extending his hand. "I’m Matthew Hesh, the founder of Hesh Motors. I see you’ve taken an interest in one of our flagship models."

The man turned, a friendly smile on his face as he shook Matthew’s hand. "Good morning, Mr. Hesh. I’m Edmund Carter. This model is… quite impressive."

Amber stepped forward, her demeanor professional yet approachable. "It’s one of our finest vehicles, Mr. Carter. The Hesh-S 16 was designed with both performance and luxury in mind."

Edmund nodded, his eyes shifting back to the automobile. "Luxury and performance, you say? Tell me more about its capabilities."

Matthew motioned for a nearby staff member to step in and open the vehicle’s door. "Please, take a look inside," he said. "This model features an innovative engine design, providing exceptional power while maintaining a smooth, quiet ride. It’s built for those who value both sophistication and reliability."

Edmund leaned in, inspecting the plush leather interior and the carefully crafted dashboard. "It’s certainly a step above anything else I’ve seen. What’s the top speed?"

Matthew smiled. "This model can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest vehicles on the market. It’s also equipped with reinforced suspension, ensuring comfort even on rougher roads."

Edmund straightened, clearly impressed. "That’s remarkable. And the craftsmanship—every detail feels deliberate."

Amber chimed in. "That’s exactly what we aim for, Mr. Carter. At Hesh Motors, we believe every vehicle should be more than just a machine—it should be an experience."

Edmund took a step back, crossing his arms as he continued to study the automobile. "I have a summer estate a few miles outside the city. The roads leading to it are less than ideal—would this handle them?"

Matthew nodded confidently. "Absolutely. The Hesh-S 16 was designed to perform under various conditions. We’ve tested it extensively to ensure it can handle uneven terrain without compromising the ride quality."

"That’s good to know," Edmund said thoughtfully. "Now, what about maintenance? A machine this advanced must require special care."

"Our driving school also includes a basic maintenance course," Matthew explained. "Every owner learns how to keep their vehicle in excellent condition. And if professional servicing is ever needed, Hesh Motors provides that as well."

Edmund smiled again, his interest clearly piqued. "You’ve thought of everything, haven’t you? I already finished the course in one of your driving schools. I am interested in buying this car, but if I bought it, there wouldn’t be any for everyone else."

Matthew simply smiled. "You are wrong, Mr. Carter, because the vehicles you are seeing in the showroom are only for display, the automobiles that you will take home along with you are in our garage which is just adjacent to this building."

"Oh really…I thought you only sell three of them," Edmund chuckled. "Okay, how much is this?"

"About 400 florins. You can either pay with cash or thru in-house financing," Matthew answered.

"In-house financing?" Edmund repeated.

"In-house financing is simply…a payment plan we offer. Instead of paying the full amount upfront, you can make smaller payments over time. This option is available for customers who prefer to manage their cash flow while still enjoying the benefits of owning a Hesh Motors automobile."

Edmund nodded thoughtfully. "Interesting. And what are the terms?"

"Our standard plan requires a down payment of 100 florins," Matthew explained, "followed by monthly installments spread over five years. There’s a small interest rate, but we ensure it’s competitive."

Edmund rubbed his chin, considering the offer. "That’s a generous option. However, I’ll pay in cash. I prefer to settle things upfront."

Amber smiled, stepping in smoothly. "That’s an excellent choice, Mr. Carter. Robert," she called to one of the staff members, "could you assist Mr. Carter in finalizing his purchase?"

Robert approached promptly, clipboard in hand. "Of course, Mr. Carter. Please, follow me to our sales desk, and we’ll get everything taken care of."

As Edmund walked toward the sales desk with Robert, Amber turned to Matthew. "That went well. He’s clearly impressed."

"That’s our goal, to impress them," Matthew said. "Now, we have about 1000 units that we have to sell, let’s empty our garage."
