January 1628 - Day 42

A messenger was sent for Martti: Lord Angus has come to town and can meet in Gilded Goose! From Martti's place in 4-NW, to Gilded Goose in 5-N, it is a long walk in CryptoTown standards:
- First 50 m to 4-N, which has some buildings by the Marquess of Grass, but is largely uninhabitable, mostly unbuilt and not significant.
- Then 100 m to 4-C, with a few big apartment houses but services mostly unconstructed.
- Continuing south, in 4-S some more apartment buildings but nothing of beauty or significance.
- And then the road, 400 m long and 10 m wide in the newly opened but completely unbuilt B.11, takes you to

- 1-N "Old Town North", the area with highest land values, is right next to the place with the crappiest ones (the one where Martti lives). Here it is possible to take left, or take right, both streets (Earls' St and King's Park St) lead to
- 1-C, the centre of the town. 
Between the Town Hall and Lucky Lion, you get to the 1-S, currently having a large open space which the Marquess (now: Duke) of New Liberty bought 100 years ago. Directly to the south is the Barbican, which serves as the south gate of the old town wall.
- Out of the wall, is finally a good street: King's Esplanade is 34 m wide with the recent widening, and goes all the way to 3-N and 400 m from the Barbican is Gilded Goose to the right. (It is not actually gilded, only Theatre, House of Magnificence and Cathedral of San Pietro are.)

So 15 minutes was almost enough for Martti to get himself to hear Lord Angus' offer - and that was great: he said the suit is listed at 15 mil, and Martti could just take it at that price! What luck! There was not more than 16.5 mil in the account, and despite because of being strongly leveraged, Martti does not have liquid assets to get even a few mil in cash without difficulty.

So the business was over in less time than it took to get from house to GG. The purchase is very easy, because literally across the street from Gilded Goose is the New Department Store, the place where Agora Marketplace is located (check the link and find, which side)!

So now for a brief time (hope...) we have a 20-year old with 2 red suits, etc., wishing for a promotion, and then (hope...) getting to his senses and either earn much more money, or scale down the costs to match the income. 20 years is a difficult age - it is much better that people start their life at 14-15 as in this game, and continue to grow in wisdom throughout their life.

(The "normal" red suit listed for sale.)
