Chapter 46: Partners The Flaw in Reaching Out
"Senior sister, senior sister, the city lord is here in the store!"
"Alvin, what is he doing?"
Shui Ling'er stopped meditating and came to the sales lobby on the first floor, where she saw Alvin, the green-haired city lord, busy talking to a beautiful clerk about his strategy for governing the city.
The lord of the city wore a crown of golden hair, a silver half-body hollow light armor, and a luxurious slim skirt underneath, and his face was handsome and resolute, and he had never had a knife on his face in the years.
This position of the city lord of Green Town is the fattest difference in the whole principality!
Alvin was only thirty years old, and in the prime of his life, he was able to climb to this position. The reason for this is inseparable from his extraordinary talent and hard work, of course, plus the direct appointment of his uncle.
His father was Gerard, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Principality of Carter and President of the Merchants' Association, and Gerald's own brother was the ruler of the Principality of Carter, Grand Duke Ivan.
Obviously, Alvin can be regarded as one of the second ancestors of the Duchy of Carter.
"Miss Shui Ling'er, you can stay in Green Town to develop and contribute to the commercial prosperity of Green Town, this city lord is deeply grateful!" Alvin took the initiative to walk in front of Shui Ling'er, not restricting his identity as the city lord at all, but gave Shui Ling'er a noble salute.
Alvin is not like the deputy commander of Kante, as soon as he saw Shui Ling'er, the eldest daughter of the Tianshan family, he was full of fantasies about marrying her. He is the lord of a city, and he has a family background, and his wife is still the county lord of the prince of the Rocky Empire, and it is impossible for Alvin to abandon his wife.
So he just wanted to take Shui Ling'er as a concubine.
"Honorable City Lord, I suddenly came to the small shop, I don't know what instructions you have?"
"Eh, I can't talk about instructions, but we still have to talk about cooperation!"
"I want to hear it!" Shui Ling'er invited the city lord to the reception room on the second floor, and instructed the disciples of Tianshan to brew good fragrant tea.
"Then I'll get straight to the point!" Alvin stretched out his thumb and pointed south, "Recently, your store has been suppressed by the one opposite, right?"
Shui Ling'er smiled elegantly: "It's okay, it's still no problem to get by!"
"Hahahaha! But this is not in line with Miss Shui Ling'er's original intention of buying twelve shops in one go!" Alvin patted the armrest of the seat twice, "I can tell Miss Shui Ling'er a piece of information, that is, all the pharmacy owners in the city have joined forces and vowed to kill your store!"
Shui Ling'er sipped the fragrant tea, as if she didn't care, and said, "So what is the cooperation mentioned by the city lord?"
"I'll come forward to mediate this matter!And let Miss Shui Ling'er be the head of the pharmacy department of the Merchant Association!" Alvin stretched out his five fingers with both hands and pressed down, then stretched out his index finger and knocked on the table, "And your store, you only need to give me fifty percent of the profit!"
Shui Ling'er drank all the fragrant tea in one gulp, and put the empty teacup on the table: "Lord City, it's about the family industry, and I ask the little girl to report to the family first, and then give a reply!"
Alvin's face instantly became gloomy, he understood that the kind of super family was not afraid of his lord of a city, and this sentence was equivalent to refusal.
"Miss Shui Ling'er doesn't know, I take fifty percent of the profits, not just for myself! A large part of this is to honor Grand Duke Ivan! If Miss Shui Ling'er can agree to cooperate, your family's business in the entire Carter Principality will be carried out!"
Shui Ling'er doesn't care about this, only the industry of Green Town belongs to her! Moreover, the business of the Tianshan family extends to the entire Eternal Continent, covering all major empires, and it is far from hurting the bones to lose the market of a principality!
"No way, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules!
Alvin jerked to his feet, snorted, and turned to leave.
Shui Ling'er saw that she had completely angered the city lord, and she became a little uneasy.
This uneasiness did not come from the fear of the city lord's anger, but Shui Ling'er was really angry, and did not use her consciousness in advance to report to the master across the street, and directly rejected the city lord Alvin.
......
Alvin angrily stepped out of the Tianshan Pharmacy General Store, walked straight across the street into the Jade Family Pharmacy, and ordered the four guards not to guard the door of the store, but to follow the store directly!
Although there is no ring today, and it is no longer a two-fold event, the business of the Yu family's pharmacy continues to be booming! It's just not as exaggerated as yesterday, but if it weren't for the four new hired guys, the father and daughter of the Yu family alone wouldn't be able to take care of it at all.
Unlike those high-ranking warriors in the Tianshan Pharmacy, not to mention ignoring the city lord, some of them don't even look at it much.
The Jade Family Pharmacy is different, most of them are low-level adventurers who are struggling at the bottom, or mercenaries who are in charge of procurement, and they salute when they see the city lord.
For a moment, the eyes of the whole store were focused on him Alvin, which also allowed the guys to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Alvin, who was originally pale, suppressed his anger, squeezed out a friendly smile, and whispered loudly to the guards behind him: "I like to come to the crowd and have fun with the fighters who have contributed to the development of Green Town!"
In the warm praise and applause of everyone, Yuqing stepped forward and saluted Alvin: "Dear City Lord, it is really an honor for the Yu family to come to the shop!"
Alvin saw that Yuqing was younger than what he had heard, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart - the little girl who had just gotten rid of her childishness, was it not easy to hold it?
"I've heard of you, little shopkeeper Yuqing! the lord of this city has something to talk to you about!"
Yuqing hurriedly led the city lord to the main house, but Alvin saw that the room was dilapidated, so he smiled and said, "No need to be formal!
Alvin suddenly sighed deeply: "Hey! You are a little girl, you should be at the age of happy play, but you have to take on the whole shop, it's really hard! When I think of this, the heart of the city lord loves the people, and I feel a faint pain!"
"The city lord doesn't have to worry about the little girl! the little girl is still very happy!"
"Okay! It's not too public or private, the city lord has to take care of your shop, so that you can make it easier!" Alvin looked around the backyard, "After yesterday, Miss Yuqing has a certain say among the owners of the pharmacy shop. If you can take refuge in this city lord, this city lord can guarantee you as the head of the pharmacy department of the merchant association, so that you can better lead the entire pharmacy industry in Green Town to fight against the monopoly momentum of the Tianshan Mountains together!"
Alvin first opened his arms widely, and then pinched his thumb and forefinger together and shook it: "Little girl, you can get so much!
"Thirty percent profit within a year! This is a fair price!"
Alvin turned to look and saw a young man who looked like a man, leaning against the back door of the shop, with a confident smile that annoyed him.
In particular, the other guys are busy before and after, and he is the only one holding a feather duster, this wave, that sweep, and dare to bargain with the city lord for the boss!
Old anger and new anger welled up in his heart, and Alvin angrily pointed at the young man: "What kind of despicable thing are you, what qualifications do you have to talk to the lord of this city?"
"Ahh
"Boom!"
Hearing that the city lord was insulted, the guards drew their swords one after another.
"Come on! Cut me down! Just put on a posture of loving the people like a son, and in the blink of an eye, he hacked the residents to death in the middle of the people's houses? Come on!"
Alvin stretched out his hand to stop the guards, suppressed his anger, and thought to himself why in the past few days, such a poor boy who is not afraid of the sky and the earth has always jumped out of thin air, and he has specially opposed him Alwin!
This arrogant man is extremely arrogant, and the last one is even more desperate! Directly killed his spokesperson in the pharmacy industry on the street and cut off the straw he inserted into the pharmacy industry!
No, the city lord had to come out in person to find a new "partner".
"You know, if I don't kill you, I can make your life worse than death, young man!" Alvin smiled at the superior, "while your tongue is still lying in your mouth, tell me, who are you, why do you want to hinder the great affairs of this city lord?"
"I'm Yuqing's fiancé, and I'm the owner of this shop! I offer a very fair price, and you don't agree, and you are asking for a sky-high price, I don't agree. Let's not talk to each other, so it's better to leave it at that!"
Alvin walked up to the worker bee and patted the worker bee on the shoulder: "In the past few days, if you want to eat anything, eat more! Talk to your little fiancée! Take care!"
With that, he strode away, only to hear the young man talking to himself behind him.
"Those who try to manipulate the fate of others, they don't know that they have already entered the game! As long as they stretch out their hands, they will reveal their flaws! I don't know what earth-shattering conspiracy is hidden behind the flaws of the city lord!"
