It's been two days since the Running Witch was defeated, and today is the day Alfonso and the Mutual Aid President have made an appointment to talk about business.

"Hey, let's go, it's time to talk about business in the afternoon, you said you have figured out the location, you have to take me to see it!" Alfonso reluctantly took four questions to the awkward man who was standing in place.

"You're so angry with me, you and Edward didn't take me with you yesterday when you and Edward went to play!" Nasi said angrily, he felt betrayed by two friends.

"I'm mainly afraid that you will be discovered by your mother, and there will be no good fruit to eat at that time.

Besides, I'm going to take a leave of absence for both of us today, so if we finish our errands sooner, we'll be able to play early. Alfonso could only coax it.

I go to school every day for four days, go out to play after school, and I don't have any contact with government affairs, and now I really look like an ordinary child.

"Hmph." Although he was still not happy, Nasi followed.

Then Alfonso realized that Nasi had not figured out where to open the store, and also, although he had lived here for many years, he did not have any business acumen to know where to open the supermarket.

Calming down, the two walked back and forth along the Champs-Élysées.

Be sure to get your seat in time for the afternoon meeting.

……

The Champs-Élysées is not very long, but it is just over two kilometers, and some of them are close to the Palais Royal.

The merchants on the street near the palace and residential areas mainly sell luxury goods and consumer goods.

Most of the restaurants are bakeries and fruit shops, concentrated on the side near the Arc de Triomphe.

It's not that the merchants don't want to open in the residential area, it's that the aristocracy has a cook in every household, and they are not allowed to open shops with oil fumes and often need to use horse-drawn carts to update raw materials.

Alfonso's plan was to open it near the Arc de Triomphe, because the supermarket must have a large amount of product updates, and if it was too close, it would easily attract complaints from the nobles.

On the other hand, the Arc de Triomphe is more accessible and well-known, and the French may not know about the Élysée Palace, but they certainly know about the Arc de Triomphe.

Nine out of 10 visitors to Paris will visit here, and even a few years later, even the Prussian army will visit here, and the supermarket will suddenly become famous.

Of course, the supermarket may have been in ruins by the time of the Prussian parade in Paris, but that doesn't matter.

As long as the items are distributed in advance, even if they are blown into ruins, they will lose some renovation money, not to mention that the supermarket is located in the center of Paris, and the possibility of being blown up is very small.

"That's it." Nasi and Alfonso stopped at a building to the right of the Arc de Triomphe, less than 300 meters away.

Nasi explained, "The area where this building is located is a triangular area.

The other buildings on the Champs-Élysées are backed by another building on another street.

As the vertex of the triangle, it is another street on the back, so it is easy to enter and exit.

In addition, half of the shops in this building belong to Viscount Henry, who has recently been involved in a divorce dispute with his wife, and should be in need of money, and the price can be kept down.

Of course, this place is the most expensive place to rent in the Champs-Élysées, and it is not much lower, and the sublease fee will not be cheap. ”

Alfonso felt that this place was really good, and the transportation was convenient.

It is important to know that horseback riding and the use of passenger carriages are not allowed on the Champs-Élysées, only in the evening and early hours of the morning.

If the supermarket is located in the middle of the country, people will have to walk a few steps, and it will be difficult for them to ship back large items.

"That's it, let's go to the promotion association for a meal."

Because of the lack of business negotiation talents, and they are big aristocrats who cannot go down in person, they lose their manners.

So he told Edward about it yesterday when he went to see the horse race, and asked him to arrange for him to help an old businessman who had been in the mall for a long time.

Not surprisingly, the other party has now arrived at the promotion association.

After eating, the two walked to the promotion association located on a nearby street.

This is because the land price of the Champs-Elysées is too expensive, and the government is reluctant to let them occupy a piece of land for office.

The promotion association is a two-story square building, which covers a large area, after all, it often accommodates many businesses for meetings.

Near the door, a chubby bald middle-aged man was guarding there, taking out his pocket watch from time to time to take a look, obviously in a state of anxiety, but his face was still calm and did not show the slightest expression.

"Your Highness Eugène, Your Highness Alfonso." Seeing them coming, the fat man hurriedly greeted them, and he was also relieved in his heart.

"You're the one Edward assigned?" Alfonso looked at the fat man's battered face and thinning hair, and thought that this was a talent.

"Yes, His Highness Edward asked me to come, my name is Zana Shanu, and I am a Swiss.

They are in a meeting, two highnesses, let's confirm the matter of renting a shop first. ”

As he spoke, Zana pulled out a stack of papers from his purse:

"This is what I did overnight after I received the news in the middle of the night last night, and there is data on the cost of subletting and rent in recent years.

And then there are a few alternative locations, as well as a list of the owners behind these shops, all of which I have looked. ”

He seemed very impatient, after all, this matter involved two crown princes, and if he could be appreciated, he might be able to get a hereditary title, which was a class leap.

Alfonso took the document and couldn't help but glance at him.

Although the other side said that all of these data promotion associations have it - the lease data is nominally confidential, but for them, they can see it if they want.

But everyone will appreciate people who work harder, especially after Alfonso has seen a lot of horses in the past two days.

At this time, the staff also sent their documents over, and compared the two, and found that what Zana gave was really not bad at all.

After hearing about Alfonso's location, Zaner said:

"Viscount Henry opened several perfume shops and bag shops, and the decoration was more luxurious, and the sublease fee should be raised accordingly.

The decoration of the other shops is not bad, and the sublease fee is about 350,000 francs, after all, the dozen or so shops on the third floor are all profitable, and they need to be compensated extra.

There is also half a year's rent, 150,000 francs. The deposit is 75,000 francs for one quarter. ”

Alfonso calculated in his heart, saying that it was a lot, and Isabella gave him a total of 100,000 pounds when he came to Paris this time, which is more than 20,000 pounds.

Not to mention that you have to pay taxes, and you have to get a license and decorate it later, and the cost alone is 40,000 pounds.

The supermarket has to contact the supply channels and publicity, and it is a lot of money, and in general, the supermarket has to be set up, and the upfront investment is 50,000 pounds.

But when he thought that the money would not be able to buy three horses, Nasi and Edward, he felt that it was not very much......

"Okay, I'll give it to you, you can talk about it, and you'll be rewarded for doing a good job." Alfonso said lightly.

Zana stopped talking, he didn't want a reward, he just wanted to do things under Alfonso.

He had carefully analysed it last night, and felt that this supermarket was very promising, and if he could be allowed to run it, he was confident that his name would be resounding throughout the Parisian business community.

The only way to do this was to follow Alfonso and run a large supermarket in the 19th century, which required more money than he could have.

It's useless to talk too much, you can only make a request when you get things done first, thinking of this, he responded: "Promise to get things done!" ”
