Chapter Eighty-Two: An Invitation from Nanjun
Duke Cornell Bosey finished his breakfast early and put on his gown under the service of the butler.
Sixty years old is no longer the age, but from the frown he has been furrowing, he can see a little majesty of the Duke of Nanjun.
High-heeled leather boots are no longer suitable for the age of the duke, and the flat-soled leather moccasins are polished shiny.
The butler placed a bronze pocket watch engraved with a castle into the upper left pocket of the dress, placed a cane of gray wood in the hands of Duke Cornell Bossey, gently removed the wrinkles with his hands, and then went out to board the carriage.
I learned from the "pigeon" that Cordo Extraordinary, an excellent young man he valued, was attending the opening ceremony of his own café.
From the central area to the rubble area, the carriage jogged at a constant speed, and the driver always kept an eye out for potholes or stones in the tracks on the carriageway, and avoided them at any time.
After walking for nearly forty minutes, Cornell Posey in the carriage heard the beautiful sound of the harp and the sound of the drums.
At this time, Extraordinary was sitting at a table in a café, some chatting with Sheriff James.
It was small talk, and he didn't deliberately inquire about any news about Anthony from the Sheriff's Department.
"I heard that the Night's Watch sent a four-man team to surround the traitor Anthony, and was killed as a result. The four high-level combat professions, even against the Great Swordsman or the Great Mage, have a certain chance of winning, but Rainy Night was found dead in a remote alley. ”
"Anthony seems to have given up on being a vigil to spare glory, even sparing the corpses of his four former companions, and all the valuable things on his body have been swept away, of course, it may also be the work of a passing thief. ”
Extraordinary embarrassment, if Lucy knew what happened on a rainy night, her nickname of "thief" would be a real hammer.
"Well, isn't there anything this high-powered traitor Yorktown can do with him?"
"Hehe, the security department can't take him, and the city hall can't do anything about him, isn't there anything there is for the grand duke?"
A little excited after seeing Sheriff James drink two cups of coffee, Extraordinary didn't mind a little more information, and casually pointed the coffee pot in his hand at Sheriff's cup.
"You know? Anthony is in contact with the Brotherhood in Yorktown!"
"Brotherhood?" Extraordinary looked confused.
"Well, it's ......"
Just as he was about to hear important news, a majestic voice sounded in the café.
"Is Cordo Extraordinary there?"
Looking up at the person who came, there was a white-haired old man, who had no fortune, and a pair of blue eyes met the black-robed young man like this.
A white satin shirt with a brown castle-like crest at the collar and a half-moon pattern embroidered with the same thread on the cuffs.
This is first of all a nobleman, and when Extraordinary searched for the little aristocratic family crest identification information in his mind, James on the side had already stood up and bowed to his chest and saluted.
"Hello, Duke Cornell, it's a pleasure to have you here. ”
Sure enough, Extraordinary's heart sank, afraid of something, but it was the thigh, and his arm couldn't be twisted.
"Oh, it's Duke Cornell, please take a seat!"
Extraordinary took a few steps in front of Duke Connell, saluted, and then stretched out his hand to invite the Duke to take a seat.
The rest of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce were busy outside, and there were no guests sitting in the hall to taste, and the tasting table outside was full of people, and the queue was long.
"Hehe, young people are really not simple, I just looked outside for a while, I really don't know which god told you such a good business method in a dream!"
"You've won the prize, Lord Duke, please be seated. ”
The first impression is good, the extraordinary level of reading people is very high, this old man is a duke, but he gives the extraordinary a kind of approachable and good fortune
Duke Cornell had already tasted the extraordinary coffee of the premium grade at auction, but he also gave high praise after tasting the ordinary coffee sold to the common people.
As the so-called courtesy to others, there must be something to ask for, and sure enough, after some commercial blowing, the old duke made a statement that made the extraordinary uncertain.
"Sir Cordo, when I first arrived in Yorktown, I wanted to speak with you about the collaboration of the Extraordinary Range. But learning from a friend at the Berman Chamber of Commerce that you were working with Henry Sr. on a personal basis gave me a new idea. ”
A jazz honorific title, people will tell you that I know your bottom, you don't have to carry it, what is very afraid is that this amiable-looking old duke knows how much he knows.
"Lord Cornell, have you taken a fancy to my extraordinary coffee?"
Sure enough, Duke Cornell pinched the well-trimmed beard at the corner of his mouth and laughed.
"Haha, Sir Cordo, you are a smart man, and it is a pleasure to talk to a smart man, and I have not seen such an interesting young man of you for a long time. ”
For the Duke's praise, the extraordinary return of the gift and thanks, waiting for the old duke's next words.
James couldn't interject, so he could only improvise the role of a waiter, refilling the half-drunk cups for the old and the young.
"In this way, you come to my Nanjun, you can choose any shop and location, and I will give you a letter of authorization directly from the duke. ”
Are these conditions good? Okay, don't want to. Of course, extraordinary is not a fool who laughs at a piece of candy.
"And what about the profits, Lord Duke, how are the proceeds distributed, and is the tax an exclusive rate?"
The sheriff listened to it in his ears and thought in his heart, this old and young man are not simple, thinking that he would look down on him when he was extraordinarily young, and he would definitely regret it.
"There is no profit sharing, I don't need any dividends, of course, whether the shop is bought or rented depends on your meaning, and the tax is of course taken according to the ordinary commercial tax. ”
"This ?......"
It's a little incomprehensible to this extraordinary, and it's really not easy to think about it if you can open up the situation in York City.
But now there is a pie on their heads, South County and Yorkshire are not far away, and expanding the scale and expanding the market is the goal of the next stage of extraordinary.
The old Duke himself picked up the coffee pot and refilled it for Extraordinary, and poured it for James, who guarded the cup as a sign of respect.
"Hehe, don't you believe it? If you don't come here today, we may meet in the Grand Duke's mansion, and if the Grand Duke of York speaks, you will not give up seventy percent, and you will have to admit fifty percent of the profits. ”
Yes, the situation is stronger than people, and I am not a fool, and no matter how much it is fifty percent, it is a huge profit.
"The aristocracy is very rich, and they are still trying to raise the tax rate of their fiefdoms, and the greedy nobles are in the majority. ”
"I don't have my own fief to be stronger than Bibi, but there are no homeless people in my fief, no slaves, and no children who can't afford to go to public school because they don't have public school insurance!"
This is amazing, and you, the duke, are a great good man.
For the Virgin Mary line, extraordinary is not disgusted, and he will not do it anyway. But some people have a heart of great love, and they still have a good impression of them, and they are willing to become friends with them.
"Oh, Duke Cornell, your noble character is like the radiance of the moon goddess, which makes people have light in the darkness. ”
This praise is extraordinary, but it is only reserved that the goddess of nature, the goddess of the moon, and the goddess of wisdom are the same god.
"I promise your cooperation, but the establishment of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce may be delayed a little. ”
Looking at the young knight rubbing his hands and face with a green face, Duke Cornell generously said that there was no problem, and at the same time, the butler behind him took out a paper document stamped with the duke's shield.
Just as Extraordinary took the paperwork and pretended to put it in the pocket in the sleeve of his robe actually put it into the golden space, the crisp trilling sound of a doorbell came from the salon door at the door.
"Ding......
Walking into the café were two elders of extraordinary temperament, one as old as Duke Cornell and the other about forty or fifty years old, with only one wrinkle on their faces.
The two waitresses and the store manager were busy outside, so Extraordinary planned to get up and greet him, and the Extraordinary with his eyes knew from the monocle that these two probably had a high aristocratic status.
A huge flying fish soars through the waves on the right chest, and the head of a triangular beast is embroidered on the shoulders of the other.
The extraordinary buttocks who were about to get up had not yet left their seats, and the teasing words of Duke Cornell beside him floated to the two.
"Duke Berg Nelson and Duke Auston Shelley, the two dukes really have a lot of leisure, and they also have a place to play in the slums?"
Looking at the name shouted by Duke Cornell in his words, and the corresponding figure in his eyes, Extraordinary has already figured out who the surnames of the two dukes are.
The dark-brown hair, pale and gloomy face is Duke Berg Nelson, who is of a different age, except for the material and style of the clothes, and every button on his body is made of colored gemstones.
Even the buttons on the sleeves of the shirt are shiny gold.
The latter old man who was a little blessed was the Duke of Auston Shelley, who gave people a good old feeling.
"Hehe, Duke Cornell is interested in coming to such a jar to find fun, why can't we?"
Duke Berg Nelson replied in seconds, and Auston Shelley nodded again and again, but did not say a word.
At this moment, there are three bigwigs from the four southern counties of the Orlanto Kingdom.
Without sluggishness, James and Extraordinary stepped forward to bow to the two dukes.
"You're Cordo Extraordinary of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce at the auction, aren't you?"
When Extraordinary nodded in acknowledgement, Berg Nelson narrowed his eyes and looked at it.
"No matter what conditions Duke Cornell gave you just now, I will add one percent to it, on the condition that you can't cooperate with Southgun, and you can't sell a bottle of extraordinary wine to Southcounty. ”
Are these two dukes at odds? Or is Duke Cornell at odds with the two of them?
Madeya, the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce had just been established, and before it was on the right track, the demons flew in with their wings.
"Well, Lord Duke Berg, Lord Cornell has no conditions? ”
Berg Nelson's squinted eyes instantly widened, "What? impossible!".
However, the truth is there, and Extraordinary shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.
