General Store Owner #3

Hello everybody, this is Ken and life just keeps getting better and better as the Industrial Revolution enters full swing.  England is fully industrialized with railroads everywhere bringing in good, shipping them out, bringing in people ect.  I have successfully started a chain of my general store and it is all over the country.  With so many people traveling around because of the railroads, and my general stores being the first thing they see in most places I have become literally one of the richest men in Europe.  I have become somewhat of a celebrity as I have successfully started my own factory and we manufacture, radios, textiles, furniture, and we're starting to work on cars and light bulbs.  As new inventions pop up I manufacture them as quickly as I can. I have become the go to man to manufacture inventions.  Thomas Edison came to me to mass produce the light bulb.  Alexander Graham Bell came to me to mass produce the telegraph.  I am starting to work on my own inventions so I don't have to give these other inventors their cut, but it is hard, I'm not a man of science.  I am starting to think of other ways to get money.  Mass entertainment has become a thing and soccer and cricket are flourishing here.  I am more interested in the baseball and football of America and I have started to make overseas bets on those teams. I am thinking of spreading my business to America but that seems like a risky and costly effort. Best wishes to all of you.
