CHAPTER 1#

In the Jing city, there is a middle aged man by the name Robin, who is the owner of a small grocery store and the shop is situated right in his house itself, hence, it is very convenient to run the store.

He and his wife devote all their energies to operate the shop and conduct the business with utmost care and attention but without much success.

Robin is in his late 50's and is not very happy with the stock and the range of products he maintains. Most of the time the shelves remain empty. Every day scores of customers, who come for good purchase return dissatisfied.

Most of the day Robin has to jog up and down behind the counter at the back and call of wretched two penny customers.

The earning is just sufficient to maintain the family hand to mouth, but he is unable to save any amount for their old age.

This keeps him and his wife worried throughout. It pains Robin to see that good customers go back because he cannot supply the products they need.

He had performed the marriage of his only daughter and spent good amount of money then, and now he has a 15 years old granddaughter. Therefore, he is free from any major responsibilities.

But still he has to take care of his 55 years elder brother who is totally handicapped and therefore unable to work. So, he too lives with them.

Robin has taught his wife to manage the shop if he remains absent any day. The big advantage is that the shop is situated in his own house hence it has come very handy for both of them.

Robin is very calm and friendly type of person. He never comes into any trouble with any one. Therefore, the locals love him.

Twenty years ago, Robin used to work in a factory and his wife was running the shop. He had worked there till he was 48 years, then the factory was wound up, he had to come out and solely depend upon this shop for his livelihood.

But the money that he had saved during that time was spent on the marriage of his only daughter, and he feels good that he has discharged his responsibilities and put his money to proper usage.

But the thought that keeps him worried constantly is how he can increase his earning. He knows that he needs good amount of capital and without this nothing can be done. But the question is how to get the capital. This is the most crucial question that was eating his heart.
