Javier snapped his fingers. "Yes. But that's nothing compared to what we can do with mass production."
He reached into his pouch, pulled out a small coin, and flicked it into the air.
"Now imagine this, each piece of chocolate costs around 20 copper to make. We sell it at 50 copper. So let's say after paying for transport, packaging, shop fees, and everything else, we still make around 15 copper profit per unit."
Liana raised an eyebrow. "Only 15?"
"Now multiply that by 100,000 people. Or 300,000. Or a million, eventually."
He turned to them with a grin.
"Fifteen copper profit from one person doesn't sound like much. But fifteen copper times a million customers?"
Gloria's eyes widened. "That's… 15 million copper…!"
"Or 1,500 gold coins," Liana whispered, quickly counting on her fingers.
Javier chuckled and folded his arms. "Exactly. And that's every month. Not only that—because it's affordable, people will buy it often. Again and again. Not once a year like nobles."
