Pierre, already a complete Rorschach admirer, chimed in, "Please don't question... the consultant's judgment!"
"Yes, I believe we'll have no trouble with sales once it's launched." Rorschach observed Mr. Hasse's nervous, round face, understanding what the merchant was truly asking.
"Then when do you think we should begin mass production?"
"As soon as possible. At the latest... before this winter." The moment the words left his mouth, Rorschach felt even winter was too slow. "Regardless of whether I'm still in Bayern, I'll be monitoring the progress of its implementation. If things fall behind, I'll get involved in the research and design."
