Chapter 54 Industry
Mu Fei didn't know anything about Feng Li's thoughts, it should be said that in the blink of an eye, he had already left the pretending sister paper behind.
Although he wasted a lot of money as a wronged man, he was not such a cautious man, and he didn't take it seriously after a little distress, but he sighed in his heart that this sister paper was really difficult, and he must stay away when he sees it in the future.
Walking into the restaurant again, the previous manager seemed to have expected him to turn back and was already waiting for him.
"Mr. Mu, please inside." Without waiting for Mu Fei to speak, the manager made a gesture of invitation and took the lead in walking inside.
Mu Fei did not hesitate and walked in behind the other party.
The manager led Mu Fei into an office, and after he sat down, he asked, "Red wine?" Coffee? Black tea? ”
"Black tea is fine." In fact, he prefers Chinese-style green tea, but thinking that this is a Western restaurant and he is a guest, it is always bad to ask too much, so it is better to let the guest be.
The manager smiled and poured a cup of black tea and put it on the table in front of Mu Fei, then sat down and asked softly, "Is there something Mr. Mu wants to ask me?" ”
"Hmm." Mu Fei nodded, but he didn't know where to start, and looked at the man in front of him silently.
The manager looked to be about forty years old, with an elegant appearance and gentle eyes, which made people feel close at first sight.
Seeing that Mu Fei didn't speak, the manager smiled and said, "It's really rude, I haven't introduced myself to Mr. Mu yet." Contemptible is the manager of this Italian restaurant, whose surname is full of style, and friends are used to calling me Xiaolou. ”
"Uh, Mr. Wind." When Mu Fei heard the other party's name, he suddenly had a sense of time-travel, as if he had strayed into the martial arts world, and felt that it was a little disrespectful to call someone older than him Xiaolou, so he thought about it and used the honorific title, "You are also a member of the guild?" ”
"Mr. Mu doesn't need to use honorifics on me." Feng Manlou said with a kind face, "In the guild, except for the high-level leaders, the status of the hunter is the highest. ”
"We just have a different division of labor." Mu Fei waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this issue. In an organization as large as a guild, he didn't think that anyone's work was more important, because no matter what link was missing, the guild would not be able to function.
Feng Manlou nodded slightly when he heard this, and said with a more gentle smile in his eyes: "So what does Mr. Mu want to ask?" ”
"This restaurant belongs to the guild? The staff here are all guild people? Mu Fei asked, "Does our guild have any other industries?" ”
"Hehe, yes, this restaurant is a peripheral property of the guild, but the staff here is only me and a few other managers who belong to the guild. There are many peripheral industry guilds like our restaurant in various places. Feng Manlou answered Mu Fei's questions one by one.
After a slight pause, the other party added, "A peripheral industry like ours is an investment project belonging to the guild, which can supplement the guild's funds, become the guild's eyeliner, and also provide some services for scouts and hunters."
Mu Fei understood as soon as he heard it, he had been thinking about where the funds came from when this guild was so huge. After all, hunting demons by itself does not bring anything profitable. Now I understand that the guild has all kinds of business outside.
As Feng Manlou said, a shop and restaurant like this can not only make a profit, but also collect information from all aspects, and can also provide some logistical help when investigators and hunters come to do tasks, which is really a triple deal.
It seems that the operators of the guild do have a lot of brains and means.
"Most of the people who are responsible for managing the peripheral industries were originally investigators within the guild, and when they are old, they are no longer suitable for investigation work, so they retire to manage these industries." Feng Manlou continued.
It also has the role of retiring retired personnel, which can be regarded as killing four birds with one stone. Mu Fei thought in his heart.
"Are there any other industries in Miracle City besides here?" Mu Fei asked curiously.
"Yes." Feng Manlou nodded and replied, "There is also a bar and a few shops. There are also several companies that also have shares in our guild, and among the shareholders are our people. Most of the peripheral industries can be found on the guild's website, and Mr. Mu may wish to learn about it from the website when he has time. ”
It turned out that there was an introduction on the website, but he really didn't notice it.
Mu Fei thought about it, and he didn't know how much this Mr. Feng knew about the task he had taken on. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Does Mr. Feng know if there have been any serious incidents around Miracle City recently?" ”
"What do you mean?" Feng Manlou asked with a smile.
"Demon-related." Mu Fei said bluntly.
"I don't know if it's related to the devil." Feng Manlou said lightly, "When the investigators came here to investigate before, it was the Night Sky Bar that was responsible for receiving them, and they didn't tell me the conclusion of the investigation in the end. However, as far as I know, the most important event that has happened in Miracle City in recent times is the disappearance of the little son of the Fang family. ”
"I heard there was a shipwreck?" Mu Fei told the gossip he had just heard from Feng Li.
"This is a speculation made by the outside world after false rumors." Feng Manlou shook his head slightly, "Even if the boat capsizes in Jianglinhe, it won't cause everyone to go missing." ”
After all, the inland river is different from the sea, the area is so large, you can see the head at a glance when you stand on the shore, and the yacht is fully equipped with life-saving supplies, even if the boat really capsizes in the middle of the river, the possibility of those people surviving is also very high. It should be said that the probability of all people drowning is very slim.
"So what's going on?" Mu Fei asked.
"I don't know exactly what happened." Feng Manlou said regretfully, "I also said just now, it is the people from the Night Sky Bar who receive the investigators, if you want to know specific information, you can go there and ask." ”
"Oh, okay." Mu Fei nodded, it seemed that he was inevitably going to make a trip.
The two chatted for a while, Mu Fei roughly knew the operation of their peripheral industries, and asked some things about the night sky bar, and after thanking him, he got up and said goodbye.
When he came out of the restaurant, the sky was gradually darkening, Mu Fei covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the bright red sky to the west, the glow on the clouds was as bright red as blood, and it looked as if the sky was seriously injured and a lot of blood was flowing.
For this mission, Mu Fei planned to stay in the city for a few days, and had already told Mr. Driver that he would come to pick him up in a few days.
Looking at his watch, it was almost time for him to make an appointment with Lin Wenyou for dinner, Mu Fei raised his feet and walked in that direction.
Wait until dinner to check out the bar. Mu Fei thought in his heart as he walked.
