Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 42 The Shop Changes Owners

  The food was served, and boss Lucius took the lead in toasting.

  After Duke took a sip on the grounds that he was underage, Lucius stopped being polite and went straight to the point: "Today, I invited someone from Captain Murashi to meet with the boss of Little Duke. For no other reason, I have taken a fancy to Little Sam's Shuka shop and want to buy it."

   "Want to buy my store?" Duke didn't expect this meal to be for this purpose, he immediately frowned, "Sorry, little Sam Shuka's business is very good at the moment, I have no idea of ​​selling it."

  Lucius said unhurriedly: "But the opening up war is coming soon, and Snake Head Town will become a maelstrom, and troubles will never be less."

   "There may be troubles, but it should make a lot of money." Duke still refused.

   "Are you so sure that you can solve all the troubles? You have to know that just because of the mercenaries coming from all over the place, if the service is not good enough, the store may be smashed down."

   "I think I can."

   "Haha, Boss Little Duke is really confident, I would like to toast you." Lucius said, and when he raised his glass, he glanced at Murashi.

  Muraxi seemed to understand, and immediately said: "Little Boss Duke, the trouble may be bigger than you imagined. Even I have been under a lot of pressure recently. I am afraid that these mercenaries from other places will make a big mess in the jurisdiction."

  Duke glanced at Murashi, and asked in a deep voice: "Then, can Boss Lucius solve these troubles?"

  Lucius smiled and said: "Of course, I have been doing business in Shenjiao City for so many years, and I am friends with Captain Murashi, so it is not difficult to solve the trouble."

   That's all for now.

  Duke already understands that if he doesn’t sell the store today, he may be in constant trouble in the future.

   Offending the security brigade, it is almost impossible to do business in the fief of the Black Snake family.

  If old Sam was here, it would be easy to talk about it. Old Sam also knew a lot of people from the Black Snake family, but Duke had no connections in this regard.

  Thinking of this, he didn't panic.

  Just asked indifferently: "Then boss Lucius, if I transfer Little Sam's Shuka shop, at what price do you want to take it over?"

   Lucius was overjoyed, but he made a bold offer on his face: "Thirty golden dragons, you are very sincere, aren't you?"

   "Impossible, the land deed of the shop is more than this price."

   "Forty golden dragons."

   "Too little, too little, this is not a sincere offer." Duke shook his head, "Besides, I am a spiritual apprentice, and I need to open a shop to make money for my cultivation. If Boss Lucius is still so dishonest, he should find another shop."

   "I've already asked a very high price, Boss Little Duke, don't you think about it carefully?"

   "I think very clearly. The word-of-mouth shop of Little Sam Shuka for more than 20 years is the first batch of shops opened in Sheshou Town. For this sign, it is worth a hundred golden dragons. We have always been the most disciplined shop in Sheshou Town. We have never defaulted on business taxes..."

  Duke had something in his words, mainly for Mu Laxi.

  If the Black Snake family bullies and dominates the market in the fief, buying and selling by force, it will definitely be a big blow to their reputation, especially at this critical point.

  In case someone seeks to do something...

   Among other things, Mu Laxi is absolutely unwilling to implicate himself.

  So Murashi frowned, and said decisively: "Boss Lucius, let's make a sincere price. After all, Little Sam's Shuka shop is a time-honored brand."

   "Uh, this..." Lucius smiled wryly, "Okay, Captain Murashi said it all, so I'll just say it straight, Eighty Golden Dragon, if I want to, I'll buy it, if not, I'd better go to Third Vertical Street and open a new store myself."

  From forty golden dragons to eighty golden dragons.

   It doesn't meet the real value of Little Sam's Shuka shop, it's much lower.

   But this has already met Duke's psychological expectations. Now that Snake Town is getting more and more chaotic, he himself doesn't want to go into the muddy water in the open.

  Today, he is just an ordinary boss, applying pressure by going through the door of the 0-ring knight leader Murashi.

   Behind it may be someone who can pass through the door of the Great Knight of the 1st ring, and come to rob the store.

so.

   Simply sell the store early and leave.

  He no longer hesitated: "In principle, I agree with this price, that is, my shop assistants. I hope that boss Lucius will take care of it."

   "Don't worry, I'm very satisfied with the operation of Little Sam's Shuka store, and the clerks are doing business as usual."

   "I also want to take away a set of card repairing machines. Don't worry, it is a set of old machines that have been eliminated and will not affect the normal working card repairing stations."

   "This... okay."

  After lunch, Lucius and Duke went to the Snake Head Tower and transferred the store at the price of 80 gold dragons.

  The formalities are signed and the Golden Dragon Card is swiped.

  Boss Lucius took the business card cheerfully, and said to Duke, "This is a lot of money. Does Boss Little Duke think about how to spend it?"

   "Compared to the money little Sam Shuka shop can earn in the pioneering war, this is nothing, but since it's sold, I won't say much. I wish boss Lucius a prosperous business."

   "Haha, easy to talk about."

   "Give me two days to sort out the clutter."

   "No problem, no rush."

  …

  Duke went back to Little Sam Shuka's alone, and Sally came over and asked, "Boss, what's the dinner at noon, and you're back so late?"

   "Mr. Murav didn't tell you?"

"No."

  Muraf at the work station raised his head and responded, "It's none of my business. It's better for Boss Little Duke to say it himself."

   "Okay." Duke took a deep breath and motioned for everyone to come over, "I want to announce one thing, that is, Little Sam's Shuka shop has been transferred..."

"ah!"

"What?"

   "No way, boss, how did you sell the store well?"

   "Transferred out again?"

   After the employees calmed down, Duke said: "Yes, the transfer has been made, but please don't be nervous. The new boss promised me that everything will be business as usual, and everyone can go to work normally."

   "Boss, I don't want you to go." The honest Levin put down the broom with a look of reluctance.

  Because he was too simple and honest, he couldn't earn money by working in the factory, and his parents didn't care about him. After finally finding an apprenticeship, Mu Raf disliked him.

  If it wasn't for Duke's kindness, if he was transferred to his staff as an assistant, I'm afraid he would lose his job again.

   Now that Duke is gone, Levin feels that he is going to be worse again, and he is afraid that he will be kicked out by his new boss in a few days. After all, he can't do anything well except for a little strength.

   "It's okay Levin, the new boss will treat you well." Duke reassured.

  He actually likes Levin, a big, naive guy who works hard without any complaints, and has no complicated interpersonal relationships, so he is very reassuring to use.

  But he didn't even think about where to go next.

   Naturally, there was no way to take Levin away.

   "Sigh, this year was pretty bad, and the bosses changed three times." The card repairer Dilanco joked, and there was not much fluctuation due to the change of bosses.

   A skilled card repairer like this can survive wherever he goes.

  Opening the spiritual sea may not make people soar into the sky, but as a spiritual apprentice, there are many paths to choose from, and you don’t have to worry about making money.
