Chapter 10: Counterattack
Two days later, Pompeii, the magic shop of the Lionhearts.
Alan was in the back hall calculating the income of the magic shop in the past ten days.
When Alan was about to finish reading the account book, an apprentice suddenly walked to the back hall, and saw that Alan was busy, so the apprentice didn't bother, until Alan closed the account book, he said, "Second young master." ”
"Hmm, is it time for the lunch break?" said Allen. Because magic items are always selling well, if you don't have a break, I'm afraid that people will buy things from the opening in the morning to three in the morning, which is too draining. After thinking about it, Alan made a rule, open the door at nine o'clock in the morning, rest for two hours at noon, and rest at about ten o'clock after nightfall. Because Shikaserimaru is the only one, even if the Lionheart Magic Store has few business hours, the customer flow will not decrease.
"It's time for the lunch break, but it's ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Outside, though, Sisda has brought a few men with him......," said the apprentice hesitantly.
Alan listened to the action. He casually put the ledger on the table next to him, stood up, and said, "Go out with me and have a look." ”
In the outer hall, Camory was standing against the counter, his eyes blazing at Sisda opposite.
The magic shop has been renovated. Alan bought the two small shops around him together, and after opening them, he renovated them at random, and turned them into the current magic shop, which is more than twice the size of the previous one, and there are many more counters inside than before.
Sisda was glared at by Camori, and there was nothing unpleasant, he just looked around curiously. When Alan walked in, he saw Alan at a glance, and quickly stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Ellen, are you here today?
"Sisda, what are you doing here?" Alan crossed his hands over his chest and squinted at Sisda.
"Recently, I heard that your magic shop is doing a brisk business, so I came to check it out. Originally, I was worried that you would be brought down by the Cross Star Alliance, but now I am finally relieved. Sisda said with a concerned expression. Some of the people sitting next to him were smiling, and some were a little embarrassed, looking at Alan with a smile.
"Someone, send off!" Alan really didn't want to see the appearance of this group of people, so he ordered to evict the guests.
"Wait, Alan, I've got something to do with you!" Sisda hurriedly shouted.
Alan stretched out his hand to stop the two apprentices who stepped forward to 'see off the guests', and looked at Sisda suspiciously: "What can you do to me?"
"Well, isn't Hakim here?" Sisda looked back into the back hall.
"Don't look at it, I'm here today, and I'll be in the future. Just tell me anything. Alan said impatiently.
Sista felt a chill down her spine. He still had some confidence in persuading Hakim, but it was Allen's words...... It wasn't until Alan got impatient that he forced a smile and said, "That's the case, there aren't a few mages who supply you anymore, right?" I see that you have been selling things for so many days, I'm afraid there is not much inventory. If it is out of stock at this time, it will definitely have a great impact on business. I discussed it with a few friends and decided to help you out and sell you the magic artifacts, even if you offend the Cross Star Alliance, it's no ......."
Allen's cheek muscles trembled when he heard this: "Help us?
The two apprentices had already heard the smoke on the sidelines, and when they heard the order, they both stepped forward angrily and pushed people.
Seeing Allen being so unsympathetic, Sisda suddenly became anxious: "Allen! You can't be rash! I know you were very unhappy that I didn't sell things to you before, but at that time I was also forced to do so! Now I see that you are in crisis and want to help, you drive me away, this is forcing the store to a dead end!"
"Kamori, beat them out!" Alan said angrily.
Camory looked angry, and when he heard this, he grabbed a broom from the side and pumped it at Sisda. Sisda and the others are all figures with heads and faces, when have they been humiliated like this, they want to theorize, but Camory kicked and beat them, and in two or three strokes, they bombarded several people to the door.
As soon as the apprentice opened the door, Camory kicked Sisda in the stomach, knocking him out.
"Alan, you don't know what's wrong, do you think there will be people selling you anything but us!"
Seeing that Sisda was still looking righteous and awe-inspiring at this time, Alan finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Kamori, break Sisda's legs and let him climb back!"
Sisda's face changed when he heard this. He was about to say something, but Camory slapped him in the face, knocking him in the head.
Camory then grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the table.
Sistar's face turned red, and he grabbed Camory's hand with both hands and wanted to resist, but at this time, Camory suddenly kicked his foot twice, kicking his foot straight......
Then Camory stomped Sisda's right knee!
After a click, Sistar's right knee bent strangely into an arc!
Immediately afterwards, Camory stomped Sisda's left foot!
Another click!
Sisda's old face was red, and he finally couldn't hold it back, and he rolled his eyes in pain and fainted.
Camory threw Sisda out, and the pedestrians around him who saw this scene trembled in their hearts.
"Take the old dog away, and when he wakes up, remember to tell him that Pompeii has not been very peaceful lately, and tell him to be more careful. Alan said faintly in the hall. The few people who came with Sista were all in a panic. Without waiting for the men to do anything, Camory closed the door.
"Second Young Master, I'm still happy to follow you!" Camory smiled grimly, whether it was Raymond or Rashid, their style of doing things was more stable, and only Alan was in line with Camory's appetite.
The people around looked at Alan and Camori with a little frightened expressions, but Alan had a cold expression, as if he didn't take what happened just now, and said lightly: "Don't mention the matter of Sisda...... However, what he said just now is right, with the pressure of the Doji Star Alliance, ordinary mages are afraid that they will not sell anything to us, and our own supply is insufficient. I don't know if Grandpa Hakim has contacted the source of goods. ”
"But, Second Young Master, I think you're thinking too far...... How are we going to solve the problem these days?Things are almost sold out......," the seventh-order mage sitting in the hall said with some uneasiness.
"How much money do we have now?"
"About two million two hundred thousand gold coins. ”
"I'm going to take it all in. Alan said.
Several people looked at Alan suspiciously. When they followed Eren to a place, several people stared at each other...... Eren actually took them to the magic shop that Ikael presided over!
The shop used to be bustling with people, but now there aren't many people, just two Mages from the Doji Alliance. Inside, both the apprentices and the sitting Ikarel were listless.
Seeing Alan bring people over, several people were in high spirits.
"Alan, what are you doing here, are you sarcastic?" said Ikal with a grimace.
A few days ago, the situation of the two stores was still reversed, the shops of the Doji Alliance were shuttled, while the shops of the Lionheart family were crowded, but now everything is reversed!
The difference is that in the past, there were many customers in the store of the Cross Star Alliance, but most of them were spectators, but now the customers of the Lionheart family's magic shop are real customers who buy things!
Ikael had roughly calculated the Lionheart's income, and the number he got scared him! Seeing Eren coming, he immediately thought that Eren was here to taunt!
"Sarcasm?," Alan chuckled.
Ikael was wondering what Eren was going to do, when Eren suddenly said, "I'm here to buy something." I will collect as many things as you have here, including inventory. ”
Ikal listened to the upheaval in his expression!
"Not for sale!"
"Open the door to do business, how can there be a price that is not sold?, or, are you opening a store to fool everyone?" Alan laughed.
Ikael held his breath, he was selling things at a low price to attack Allen's shop, but now that Allen's things are selling well, there are not many people in his shop...... He had already seen that Alan must be out of stock, and he was still curious about how Alan would deal with this problem, but he didn't expect Alan to hit him with the idea!
"If I say I don't sell it, I don't sell it!" Allen, I sell things cheaply here to benefit those powerless little mages, if I sell you something, what is it?" said Ikael angrily.
"It turns out that the purpose of your opening this shop is to benefit the powerless little mage, I thought you were trying to suppress me, I really misunderstood you...... But you see, you haven't sold a few things in the past ten days, and there are thousands of little mages in Pompeii, so you have to sell things for at least a few years to get an average of one for each of these people. My shop has a lot of customers recently, and if you sell me all the things, I can sell them in half a month, so if you come a few more times, we can benefit those little mages together, so why not?" Alan laughed.
"I'm not going to let you make those little mages' black money! He has a lot of inventory here, and if he really sells it to Alan at the current price tag, he will lose hundreds of thousands in an instant!
Alan has recently changed the storefront setting and copied the points counting system of the Adventurers' Guild. Originally, it was something that could be purchased for 1,000 gold coins to get a fifth-order elixir, but now it has been changed to a 1,000 points. One thousand points can be exchanged for a fifth-order elixir. Points can be traded privately, but with a tax rate of 8% deducted......
The point system that Allen came up with is clearly to earn even those little mages' money!
It's when Ikarel saw this, so he planned to stand on the moral high ground and accuse Allen of being a 'black-hearted businessman'.
However, the little mages who were watching next to them did not appreciate it. They had already seen that Ikael couldn't fight Alan, and now that Eren didn't say anything, they had already opened their mouths to help Eren speak, trying to please Alan.
"Ikael, you are so disrespectful! We don't want to buy anything from you, if you really want to benefit everyone, sell it to Allen, and we can buy it from him." You deliberately lowered the price in order to fight Allen, and now you regret it?This store has not been open for a few days, and you have changed back and forth, and this is how the reputation of the Doji Alliance is like this?"
"Say it like it's true...... Alan is a black-hearted businessman? The price of things in the Lionheart family shop is the same as other stores! This is a fair price! But your shop sells things so cheaply, and you want to use the method of compressing the market to seize the market...... You're too impatient, that's not how business works...... Do you want all the alchemists to have nothing to eat?"
"Do you still have a conscience? I would like to advise you, you can't be so selfish. ”
Everyone wanted to please Alan, so they spoke very harshly, and hit the nail on the head of Ikael's heart.
When Ikael heard everyone scolding herself, she only felt unusually breathless in her heart......
