Chapter 23 Buying a Store

"Brother Xiao, don't just thank Uncle Eric!

There are so many shops distributed in the southeast and northwest cities of the royal capital, and they can't get down for half a month just by looking at the past, but the one I went to today is located in the most prosperous area, and it happened to be running a high-end restaurant before, which is definitely the most suitable.

Sitting in the carriage, Little Pete yelled at Xiao Yi vigorously, and Eric on the side saw the little young master's posture of asking for praise and couldn't help but twist his face to the side. However, although this kind of behavior is not worthy of aristocratic etiquette, from the bottom of his heart, he actually prefers the current appearance of little Pete, and a handsome face like the little young master is only worthy of the brightest smile!

"Oh, that's why I'm underestimating our young master Pete. Tell my brother how he found such a good place?" Xiao Yi also had a smile on his face, he never hesitated to smile at children.

"Besides, I think the consul of the merchant house that Uncle Eric asked me to be a fool, we have seen three of them in a row, all of them are shabby small restaurants, and they are not as good as the hotel where you live now, Brother Xiao......"

Hearing this, the corners of Zod's and Eric's mouths twitched at the same time, and they were also old and sophisticated, so they could naturally hear the problem in Little Pete's words. Take the Qingteng Hotel where Xiao Yi and Zuode are now staying, although it is not the top shop in the entire royal capital, but with the accommodation fee that can cover the living expenses of ordinary people for a month and one night, as well as the identity background of the shopkeeper who can communicate almost equally with the guard commander of Duke Kairui's mansion, it is definitely a first-class level in the imperial capital. And the recommendation given is worse than such a store, it can't be said that the consul of the business firm is incompetent, don't forget that Xiao Yi's store purchase budget is only 100,000, if you really want to find a shop of the level or even more advanced of the Qingteng Hotel, not to mention the question of whether the budget is enough, can people who can only afford to open this kind of store really be willing to sell the sign industry?

Therefore, the poor consul received a very low evaluation from the young duke and the young master of the duke, but at the same time, several people were also very interested in the target in Xiao Pete's mouth, and they must know how to find such harsh conditions, Xiao Yi's question just asked everyone's hearts.

"So I decided not to look at it anymore, and I decided to go to the business office the next day to find someone to change another batch, but in the evening Grandpa Davis took the initiative to ask me...... Ahh

Speaking of this, little Pete suddenly thought of something important, and then he pursed his lips, and he frowned on his delicate eyebrows and looked indescribably cute.

Although he didn't finish speaking, Zod and Eric both had a clear look, and it was really the handiwork of the old butler Davis! You must know that although Eric is the commander of the guards of the Duke's Palace, this identity is indeed very face-saving when he is outside, but it is only a face-saving one, and the connections and things he can do can only be limited to a certain range.

And Davis, as the butler of the Duke's Mansion, can basically represent Duke Carey himself in terms of his voice inside and outside, and based on the unwritten rules of the aristocratic class, most of the time, the power of the head of a mansion is even above the master's wife and children, so even if he does not use external connections to carry out activities, even the intelligence network mastered by each family itself is generally operated by the head of the Duke's Mansion, and it is a piece of cake to find a top shop to be exchanged for good quality and low price with the intelligence gathering ability of the Duke's Mansion.

It's just that the two of them thought about it and felt that it was wrong, since the old butler Davis intervened, it was hard to imagine that it was an act that did not get the approval of Duke Carrey, but with Xiao Yi's performance at the Duke's Palace dinner two days ago, it seemed that it was not good enough to let the Duke personally ask for help in such a trivial matter, this is obviously a bit abnormal! The two glanced at each other and then looked at Xiao Yi together.

Xiao Yi didn't think of the joints in it, but his current focus was obviously not on this matter, so he stroked the smooth blonde hair on the top of Xiao Pete's head with his hand and said:

"Why pout, look at the sword that can be hung on your mouth!" said him, and scraped the protruding lip of little Pete with his fingers, in exchange for the latter to writhe.

"Oh, don't worry! Brother Xiao is very grateful to Pete for his help anyway! If this can be done, I promise to give you a big reward!"

"Really...... However, the news was told to me by Grandpa Davis, and I didn't really do anything......"

"Where, I don't know Davis Butler well, he is busy with so many things every day, if it weren't for your face, how could you have the leisure to take care of this little thing, so let's still have the ability to solve the problem without doing it yourself!"

Xiao Yi had a harmless smile on his face, even Pete had always been very precocious, and at this time, he felt that this was indeed the case, so he turned from worry to joy in a moment.

Looking at Xiao Yi's superb means of 'coaxing children', the other two people in the carriage were amazed and a little embarrassed at the same time, they only cared about thinking about the intricate relationships behind things, but ignored Little Pete's feelings. In particular, Eric, as a guard commander and a general in wartime, only served for a specific time, and in peacetime, he served as the personal guard of Duke Carey and Pete Jr., and he knew a lot about the temperament of the two masters, one big and one small.

For example, little Pete's humble and polite appearance actually has a kind but somewhat stubborn heart, for the good of others is always kept in mind and put more in return, like just now, Little Pete's idea must be to help Xiao Yi solve the problem with his own ability, which can be seen from the little Pete personally followed him one by one to inspect the recommended stores given by the business, although Xiao Yi's comfort does make sense in a sense, but if the credit is all attributed to Davis, who plays a decisive role, according to the principles of doing things in the adult worldOr, more philistinely, from the perspective of maximizing the efficiency of connections, it is necessary to be closer to the old butler, because after all, from the situation at the previous dinner, little Pete's opinion does not have much influence on the likes and dislikes of the Duke himself (at least on the surface).

But Xiao Yi didn't do this, his focus is always on the people around him! This is true for Zod, and the same is true for little Pete, just imagine that if he doesn't deliberately consider the other party's self-esteem and enthusiasm, it won't be wrong, but it is bound to make little Pete feel lost, and this is the last thing Eric who watched him grow up want to happen.

This relieved Eric of his troubles and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yigao, this kid doesn't look at his actions and thinking a little maverick, but he can always treat people with sincerity, and you can always feel warm and comfortable when you associate with such people.

Watching the little young master bargain with Xiao Yi on the reward given to him, a smile climbed the corner of Eric's mouth, until Xiao Yi pretended to be in pain and reluctantly agreed to let little Pete eat for free for half a year after the restaurant opened, the carriage quickly slowed down and stopped after a large shake, and it seemed that it had reached its destination.

Everyone got out of the carriage and looked around, and sure enough, the environment was in a prime location of great popularity as little Pete said. Although Xiao Yi had seen the density of ants in the era of population explosion, he was not a person without common sense, although the scene in front of him was not crowded one after another, but the picture composed of endless pedestrians was definitely a medieval version of 'human voice'.

According to Pete's instructions, the target to visit was a high-end restaurant called "Honor". Standing outside the main entrance of the shop, Xiao Yi first motioned for Xiao Pete, who wanted to enter directly, to wait for a while, and then observed carefully.

The restaurant is located in the most prominent area and location on this street, and the entire three-storey building covers a very large area, and the exterior decoration is also very ornate and atmospheric, but the only thing that makes people puzzled is that the busiest time of the day in the business district is only the front door of this restaurant, and the pedestrians who carefully observe the passing will deliberately avoid the detour within the range of entering the restaurant's face.

After a short period of thought, Xiao Yi had a plan in his heart, so he signaled that little Pete could go in, and then they were received by Richardson, the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

After that, the negotiation entered the normal business negotiation process, although the other party is not a junior brother, you and I have talked about a lot of issues, except for Xiao Pete who has always maintained his attention, the other two martial artists are a little bored and want to yawn.

However, although Eric was not interested in business negotiations, he was still a little surprised by Xiao Yi, because he had already made his identity clear when the other party received them, although it was not the Duke's Palace that wanted to acquire the property, but the introduction of this kind of thing implied a credit guarantee, so the face of the introducer was also one of the hard powers of the buyer.

But looking at the performance of the other party, it is obvious that he does not take the name of the Duke's Mansion seriously, which can only show one problem, that is, the owner behind this store must also have a very good background, at least not much worse than his own master. As for whether it is possible that the other party is stupid and lacks the world's feelings, so he doesn't care about these, just looking at the hardware strength of this store can explain the problem, and people who really have this kind of thinking are really stupid.

A shop with such a background, the shopkeeper in charge must be a person with considerable ability and who can hold down the position in this complex relationship, and how should Xiao Yi, who talks eloquently and evenly in negotiations with such a person, know where he has business experience as an alchemist who lives in simplicity with his teacher.

When it is time to ask, it is time to talk, the two sides have reached a consensus on the purchase intention, and finally the other party's shopkeeper made it clear that he could not be the master on this issue, and he must invite his own owner.

Xiao Yi didn't have any objections, because this request was too normal, but what was the constipated expression on your face when you got up and went back to ask the owner to come forward!

was thinking about Xiao Yi's stall, and suddenly heard an arrogant tone from behind:

"Yo he, I also said who is going to buy my uncle's store, it turns out to be you motherless little yellow hair!"
