Chapter 53: Cooperation and Expansion
As it turned out, Caroline's worries were somewhat unnecessary.
That night, when Sanka began to tell the story of Meteor Tears, the two guests who threatened to bring down the Tavern walked in with the crowd and applauded Sanka's story enthusiastically.
"I only chose to let you go for the sake of Master Sanka's face, don't try to challenge my dignity again, otherwise I will definitely use all the resources in my hands to make your tavern go out of business. The two guests said.
Is this the real fragrance warning that the boss said?
Caroline brought the ale and the fruit plate, and laughed in her heart: "The clerk who said the wrong thing has been severely punished, and we promise that nothing like this will happen again in the future." ”
In addition to Caroline, new recruits Longfellow and Fast also started their first day of work.
Longfellow was a little bigger and taller than Fast, and he could get the fruit bowl and ale prepared by Li Feng from the counter.
Fast, on the other hand, had to go around behind the counter to pick up things.
Both children were orphans who had snatched food from rats and wild dogs, starved on a cold rainy day, and been beaten and scolded and spat on for stealing money.
They have experienced the deepest levels of despair, so they cherish this rare job opportunity.
Two petite bodies kept shuttling through the crowd, sharing a large part of Caroline's work pressure.
Perhaps because the story of "The Stars Change" is so exciting, today not only is the hall full of people, but the door is crowded with people, and even the closed blinds have a few pairs of eyes looking through the gaps in the leaves.
"Huh, boss, you're here?" Caroline walked around the hall twice when she suddenly spotted an acquaintance, his former bakery owner, a man named Field.
He sat in the middle of the hall, with the owner of the blacksmith shop next to the tavern.
"Drag your blessings, the bakery's business has improved a lot in the past two days, today on the street to someone talking about a new story called "Star Change", originally I was not interested, but then I heard that you came from here, so I came to see, it was really good. At this point, Cassan spoke of another climax, and Field couldn't help but applaud with the crowd: "Okay. ”
After clapping his hands, Field turned his head to look at Caroline, "Actually, I came here today for another purpose, your tavern is doing well, but as you can see, your store is too small to accommodate too many audiences. ”
Field looked at the dozens of ordinary people standing in the hall, they could be called ordinary people only because they had been freed from poverty and already had extra money to enjoy life: "What if your tavern and my bakery and Verard's blacksmith were merged? You are responsible for selling drinks, I am responsible for selling food, and Verard is responsible for selling the weapons that appeared in the story, although they are only ordinary weapons, but for the sake of the heroes in their hearts, I think there should be many people willing to pay for them, right?"
With that, Field looked at Verard, the blacksmith shop owner who was sitting next to him.
Villad nodded to Field, his haggled beard had been carefully groomed and his clothes were clean, in stark contrast to the gray cloth suit he had worn on the street to pull customers.
"This. Caroline was a little hesitant in her heart, although this proposal was beneficial to all three parties, but Xiao Hei's identity was too sensitive, and she didn't know if Xiao Hei would agree to such a proposal.
And their new store has only been open for three days, so isn't it too fast to expand in such a short time?
"You won't help me, will you? I fired you before because you did something wrong, and I, as a businessman, must have first considered profits, and was I worried about money? Don't you worry, the cost of the merger and transformation is mine, or is this troubadour just passing by here and not staying for long? If that's the case, it's really a problem. At this, Field's brows couldn't help but slowly pile together.
"No, no, no, I don't really worry about what you said, Mr. Sanka will stay in the store forever, but the merger is too big, I need to ask the boss first, you two wait. With that, Caroline approached Longfellow, asked him and Fast to greet the guests, and then walked to the second floor.
The eyes of everyone in the tavern were attracted by Sanka's brilliant speech, and they did not notice Caroline's sudden departure.
After a while, Caroline went downstairs and invited Field and Villard upstairs.
After closing the door, Xiao Hei, who was sitting at the head of the bed chatting with Karina, looked up: "Come, just sit down." ”
Field and Villad were immediately shocked when they entered the door, but a little girl made a man's voice, and they were even more shocked that the owner of the tavern was actually a crippled girl.
Xiao Hei climbed from the side of the pillow to the quilt on Caroline's stomach, and looked at the two sitting on the sofa: "I heard Caroline say that you want to cooperate with me?"
Only then did the two realize that it was a mouse that spoke.
Field has more than a dozen industries, large and small, and his knowledge is quite broad, and he quickly recovered.
Villad pointed at Xiao Hei in a trembling voice, unable to even speak: "Say, talking rats?"
"Maybe it's a monster. Field reminded.
"Tell me, what's the merger method? You just said something to Caroline, and I'd like to hear the details, but of course all this is provided that you don't have any prejudice against a hamster. "Little underworld.
"As long as you can make money, I don't care who you are, of course demons and orcs can't, I don't do anything to betray the human race. Field said.
Villard glanced at Field and nodded.
It's true that Xiao Hei is not a demon, but it comes from the abyss of reincarnation, and there is a group of demons under him.
And before that, it had also called itself a demon god to Hezhestus, but Xiao Hei was very clever to hide these things: "I'm not a demon, and even less an orc, so I think we can have a good talk." ”
In fact, in Xiao Hei's heart, he didn't want to contact these adults so quickly, compared to simple children, these adults are too good at doing things.
Like the Demon Lord, Chu He, and even Zhuge Wuming, if you don't pay attention, you will be pitted to death.
But from a point of view, it built a tavern to make money, and the main source of money was the sale of news.
Now that only one message has been sold, the taverns are filled with those who drink and listen to stories, those who covet the comfort of soft sofas.
In the future, when others mention the Forget Worry Tavern, they will only think that the wine is not bad, and that story is really exciting.
Selling alcohol can make some money, but it is far from enough to sell news to make a high profit.
Because of Joan of Arc's prophecy, Xiao Hei had already made a plan in his heart.
Make money, build underground shelters, hire the strong.
If this plan is postponed only by selling ale, I don't know how long it will be postponed, maybe the angels have called, and it is just digging a small pit of about 10 meters.
It's almost the same as burying people, living people?
If you can expand your store, you can attract more people, and maybe some of these people need to buy news.
"Then let me tell you, I want to connect the three of us shops, the first floor is a tavern where you sell wine and tell stories, I make food, Verard makes the weapons that appear in the story, and the second floor is a resting place. Field said.
"Wait. Xiao Hei suddenly said, "Neither of your stores has a second floor, do you?"
"We add covers, add first floors. Field said, "I'll take care of the money." ”
Villard immediately nodded.
"Alright then, you move on. Blackie looked at Field with a headache, he didn't really want to live with someone he didn't know.
"But before we can get through, Verard and I need to renovate the store and make it the same interior as the Sanssouci Tavern, which will take about three days. Field said.
Blackie nodded, motioning for Field to continue.
Field blinked, "That's it, do you have anything to add?"
Xiao Hei was immediately unhappy, it didn't expect that at this time, Field would ask for it, and would pretend to be stupid in the most critical place, so he roared: "What's the situation? How will the income be distributed? You are rubbing the heat of my worry-free tavern, don't try to fool around." ”
Field's face immediately fell, he didn't expect a talking mouse to be so shrewd: "Then how do you think it should be distributed?"
Xiao Hei put away his anger at this time, and he pointed at Field: "How can your food little hand completely rely on my tavern business, I want to take forty percent of the profit, as for Villad, he does the peripherals, even if he doesn't sell it, others will sell it, I want to take two percent." ”
Getting this distribution plan, Villad is still quite satisfied, according to the current flow of people in the worry-free tavern, although the other party wants to take 20% of the income, but his monthly income is more than ten times that of before.
You must know that last month, Villard's blacksmith only had five orders, and his blacksmith shop was on the verge of bankruptcy at any time.
But Field was not happy: "Forty percent is too much, and I don't have to make any money except for the cost." ”
"That's it~" Xiao Hei dragged out his voice: "Then let's do it." ”
Still not happy, Field said loudly: "I ask for the same as Verard, two percent!"
"So that's not going to be a good deal?" Caroline saw off. "Little underworld.
Caroline hesitated, walked over, and made a gesture to ask someone to leave: "Excuse me, Mr. Field. ”
"Wait a minute!" Field, a shrewd businessman, knew the difference between a loss and a small profit, and as the Sanssouci Tavern grew in influence, he changed the list of sales, and the small profit could turn into a big profit: "I agree, three out of three, you really don't look like a rat in the sewers." ”
Xiao Hei unceremoniously returned the color: "You don't look like a successful businessman." ”
Rats in the sewers, unsuccessful businessmen.
They represent squalor and poverty.
One person and one mouse watched for a long time, until the atmosphere stiffened a little, but they suddenly laughed together.
"Interesting, I hope we have a good time working together, little fox. Field handed his index finger over.
Blackie grabbed Field's index finger with his claws, "Don't hold me back, old fellow." ”
