Weeks flew by in the blink of an eye. The trading and shipping businesses skyrocketed and got a lot of profits. Rasmus had calculated it beforehand that the trading company wouldn't get a lot of profit but it was covered by the profits from the shipping business. He didn't mind if he got a lot of profit or not because he was still burning money.
The Vivelda and the Urion companies couldn't compete at all no matter how hard they tried to get their customers back. They even sold their goods cheaper than Rasmus's company, but they still struggled to keep up with his company. Not to mention that one of their customers was Rasmus himself by bought the cheap goods and then sold them to the merchants through Eduard's trading post.
