Chapter 185: Business with the Barbarians

Coconut put on new boots, and then was surprised to find that he was not unstable because of the peculiar appearance of the boots, but the center of gravity of the whole body was smoothly pressed against the center of the shoe, which was more stable than standing barefoot.

"Very comfortable!" Coconut couldn't help but admire: "I thought that when I put on these boots, I should always be careful that I will fall." ”

Coconut took two more steps, and the soles of the metal boots made a loud "click" sound on the floor.

Luke observed the coconut fruit's gait and said, "That's the power of technology." This low-end material can only do so much in such a short period of time. When I get back to Angry Waves, I'll find someone to measure your feet and redesign the whole thing to make a pair of boots. ”

Coconut asked, "I'm going to go back to Angry Waves with you?" ”

Luke shook the agreement that Coconut had just signed: "You have to listen to me while the contract is in effect. Let's go, it's time for lunch, and come with me to talk to Mrs. Fikochik about business. ”

"Okay." Coconut was excited to hear about business, and it was a good opportunity to learn how to do business.

Coconut "clicked" behind Luke,

By the time they arrived at the dining room, the servants had already filled the table with food.

When Mrs. Fekochik saw Luke, she immediately happily invited him to the nearest position: "You drank too much wine last night, and today you went out all morning, and I will catch you at noon." You must tell me a little bit more about the city of the Angry Waves, which is the center of world fashion, and I have the task of bringing world fashion to the Holy Mountain. ”

"It's been a really busy past two days." Luke sat down and said to Mrs. Fekochik, "Thank you, Madame, for your hospitality, and I want to talk to you about world fashion today." ”

"Great!" At this time, Mrs. Fikochik saw the new boots of the coconut fruit and exclaimed: "What a beautiful pair of boots, it makes your whole body stand upright, and it also makes your body show a smooth curve." Mr. Luke, is this the curvy beauty of women in the world's fashion? Are boots of this shape the latest style of women's boots? ”

"This ...... This is a medical leg correction boot that I ordered for Coconut Fruit, she had previously injured her leg and needed to use external force to help repair it. Luke was afraid that Madame Fekochik would get a pair of such boots to wear out of the house, so he casually made up a reason, and then changed the subject: "I heard that Madame, you have many shops and workshops in the Holy Mountain?" ”

Speaking of her second hobby, Mrs. Fishecik's heavily coated face immediately burst into laughter: "My husband is so good at making money that every time he sends me money back, I don't know how to spend it." You see what the Holy Mountain looks like, in the middle of nowhere, far from the fashion center, and there is nothing that shows the wealth of the Fekochik family.

I had to exchange all the money for the shop for everyone to see, and my husband, though a savage, was a savage, but he was better at business than the most business-savvy humans.

The last time Fekochik wrote to me, he mentioned a transcendent pet, a cute thing that the upper-class ladies of Angry Waves City like to keep, can you tell me more about what kind of pet it is? ”

Luke's extraordinary pet business has opened up a market in the city of Angry Waves. A gathering of the upper class and a talk about transcendent pets can easily bring two people closer. Now Luke's Extraordinary Pet Association has held many extraordinary pet competitions, and the extraordinary pet rating standard is being accepted by people step by step, and it is not far from the day when you will make money by issuing certificates in the future.

As a pioneer and monopolist in the transcendent pet market, Luke has a lot to talk about on this topic.

After Luke introduced Mrs. Fishecik to what the transcendent pet was, he said, "Now that Angry Waves is the largest market for transcendent pets, it receives many wealthy people from all over the world who come to buy transcendent pets every day. Extraordinary pets are docile and easy to train, and are great communication lubricants in most social situations.

Therefore, extraordinary pets have always been in short supply, and some high-quality extraordinary pets need to be auctioned to obtain. ”

Hearing that the transcendent pet was so sought after by the world's fashion, Mrs. Fikochik immediately said: "This time, you return to Fury Waves City and tell Fikochik that you must buy me a transcendent pet."

The transcendent pet is something that the Holy Mountain has never heard of, and as the only person who owns it, I will definitely make everyone envious. ”

"Yes, ma'am. When I return to the City of Furious Waves, I will be sure to tell Mr. Ficochick what Madame has requested. Taking advantage of Mrs. Fekochik's pleasure, Luke asked, "Is there a lot of shops and workshops in the Holy Mountain that are being sold again recently?" ”

Mrs. Fikochik replied: "There are many shops and workshops for sale, and I have to go and negotiate a few deals this afternoon." When Fekochik returns, and sees that I have bought so many shops and workshops for him, he will be glad to have a wife who is as good as he is in business. ”

"Madame is really business-minded." Luke did not hesitate to praise it, and then put forward his own small appeal: "I made a fortune in my adventurous career, and I originally wanted to invest in business in Angry Waves, but I found that my money could not even buy a factory there.

Since there are so many shops and workshops for sale in the Holy Mountain, I would like to partner with you, Madame, to buy more shops. ”

Hearing that Luke actually wanted to invest in the shop of the Holy Mountain, Mrs. Fishecik said optimistically: "You are an outsider who wants to buy the shop of the Holy Mountain, but it is not a good note, the law here will not protect you. I was able to buy so many shops because my husband was a member of the Barbarian Rock family, and his brothers could protect my shop. ”

"It is precisely because of this concern that I want to cooperate with you, Madame. I will fund it, and you will come forward to buy the store, and the store will be in your name, and we will share the money privately. As a token of appreciation, I can give you a tenth of the money I earned as a thank you to the Rock Family. ”

Lady Fikochik was intrigued by Luke's proposal.

Two people must buy more shops than one person, and in the eyes of outsiders, so many shops belong to the Fekochik family, which shows the wealth of the Fikochik family even more. And Luke is willing to give himself a tenth of the money he earns, which is the money he picked up for nothing.

Mrs. Fikochik asked, "How much are you going to invest?" If it's too little to buy a few stores, a tenth of the commission, I don't want it. ”

"I have 20,000 ...... deposit"

Mrs. Fikochik showed an expression of reluctance to play with you: "So little? ”

"Golden Ticket! All of them are deposited in the World Bank and can be withdrawn at the Holy Mountain branch. ”

"Twenty thousand gold coupons!" Mrs. Fishecik's eyes widened: "Is it so profitable to be an adventurer?" ”

Coconut Fruit, who was eating on the side, said, "Mr. Luke is a very good adventurer, and his bounty for receiving a high-level commission is very high...... Very, very high. ”

20,000 gold coupons are 100 million Reichsmarks, and Coconut knows that Luke earned 100 million Reichsmarks on the way to the Holy Mountain.

Madame Fekochik calmed down and said to Luke, "The shop in the Holy Mountain is about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Reichsmarks. Workshops are slightly more expensive, after all, workshops are generally larger, and there are craftsmen and apprentices, most of whom need to pay hundreds of thousands at a time, and some workshops with excellent craftsmen may need millions.

With 100,000,000,000 Reichsmarks, you can buy a lot of shops and workshops. ”

That's pretty much what Luke knew.

The economy of the Holy Mountain is backward, the land has not yet been commercialized, and the value of craftsmen is higher than that of land.

If the Duke of Celtic lifted the factory restriction and the factory entered the Holy Mountain, most of the craftsmen would be worthless, so Sergei, a human merchant with inside information, sold his shop and workshop.

Mrs. Fikochik had acquired so many shops and workshops that she had no competitiveness with the factories that had been built up later. But she had to pay the taxes and the wages she should pay, and when she couldn't afford the expenses, she would sell all the shops and workshops she had at a low price.

At that time, Sergey, a human merchant, bought all these shops and workshops back. Personnel are laid off and sent to the factory, and the land in their hands will become more and more expensive as the economy rises.

Very shrewd all-take-all.

But this time Mrs. Fikochik has a plug-in.

Luke is her cheat.

Luke said to Mrs. Ficochik, "Then ask Madame to buy all my money into shops and workshops." I won't be in the Holy Mountain for too long, so in a hurry, I'm willing to buy at a premium. ”

"Isn't it too much of a loss to buy at a premium?"

Luke ate the meat from his plate and replied to Mrs. Fikochik, "Although it seems to be a loss, it is better to have more shops than to make money later."

Madame doesn't have to talk to those merchants who are willing to sell their shops, and those who are not willing to sell can also talk, I believe that as long as the money is in place, there is no business that cannot be negotiated. ”

Mrs. Fikochik looked at Luke, "Is this the attitude of the upper class people in Angry Waves City when it comes to business?" I used to quarrel with others for a little money, and it was really too bad for me.

Mr. Luke, don't worry, as long as you are willing to pay a premium, I promise to turn all your money into the shops of the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, and the Rock Family will protect them! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Fikochik was so confident in acquiring the store, Luke continued to say: "It doesn't matter if the 20,000 gold coupons are spent, my credit rating in the World Bank is very good, and I can borrow a lot of money from them." You just have to rest assured that you can buy the shop, and the money is absolutely enough! ”

With that, Luke pulled out a check and handed it to Mrs. Fikochik.

And then come up with an agreement.

Mrs. Fikochik didn't think much of Luke's ability to get so much money, she was a simple savage, and she didn't have the shrewd mind of her husband.

Now that there was an "unlimited" cheque open, Mrs. Fisheczyk's second hobby trumped the first.

Mrs. Fikochik read the agreement carefully, and felt that there was no problem with it, so she signed her name on it. Then I no longer have an appetite, just stuff something into my mouth, and I can't wait to go to the street to buy.

Coconut Fruit, who was sitting across from Luke, asked, "Why do you buy so many shops in the Holy Mountain, as if you can make a lot of money?" But according to my understanding of the merchants in the Holy Mountain, the profit of the store is not high, and the craftsmen can't make much in a day. If you resell the goods outside, you won't need many shops. ”

Luke said: "In business, there are short-term and long-term. What I'm doing this time is the long-term, even if I don't make a profit or even lose money for a period of time, but in the long run, I definitely make money. ”

"I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand." Luke wasn't going to explain to the coconut fruit, he asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Coconut drank the milk wine in the cup: "I'm full, is there anything else?" ”

"Isn't there a Hercules race in the afternoon? When we're full, let's go over to the competition. ”

After a morning of training, Coconut forgot about the game, and only remembered it after Luke's reminder.

"Yes, Hercules competition. After watching your match with those barbarians yesterday, I believe that you will definitely surprise everyone's eyes in today's game.

Let's go! ”

Coconut, who was unusually enthusiastic about the game, in turn urged Luke.

Luke finished eating the food on his plate and took the coconut fruit to the Hercules competition. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he encountered a group of barbarians, the barbarians of the Stubborn Stone family who lost yesterday with Lukeby's strength.

When the barbarians of the Rock House saw Luke, they gathered around him as if they were their own brothers.

After a rambling greeting, Luke knew what they were coming from.

The barbarians knew that Luke was going to participate in the Hercules competition in the afternoon, so they came to cheer for Luke, and they were even happier than they were to participate in the Hercules competition.

"Brother Luke, you are the most powerful human I have ever seen, and you will definitely win the Hercules competition."

"But you're never going to grab the belt of the strongest strongman, and we're going to see which barbarian can beat you."

"The most powerful must be the barbarians. However, the strength of the Luke brothers is really great, and today the entire Holy Mountain will know that there is a human who has more strength than most barbarians. ”

"The most powerful human beings are our good brothers!"

The wheel battle of the pool party made the barbarians of the Boulder family extremely respectful of Luke's strength. They came to cheer on Luke, and they wanted to see who could defeat the human Hercules.

Crowds of barbarians swirled around Luke through the streets of the Holy Mountain, and many recognized the barbarians as belonging to the Rock Family, and they scratched their heads...... When did the barbarians of the Rock Family become so close to humans?

The Arena Hercules is a landmark of the Holy Mountain, which is shaped like the Colosseum in Rome and is surrounded by stepped stands that surround the circular playing field in the middle.

The Hercules tournament is held once a month, with the top 10 winners receiving the winner's prize and the first place earning the gold belt to the cheers of the crowd.

The tournament starts in the early afternoon, and most of the time the winner is decided closer to the evening.

It's also very easy to sign up. At the entrance to the competition venue, there are several huge stone piers, one of which can be picked up and held for ten seconds to qualify for the official competition.

Many barbarians will try, but very few can pick up the stone pier completely and qualify for the competition.
