At half past ten o'clock in the morning, when Margaret Willenstein's car, Norfolk Holy Power, slowly drove out of Wildenstein's estate, her brow was furrowed.

"Randall, that is to say, the nine stores opened by the Rising Sun Company, nothing abnormal happened, right?"

"Yes, Mother. ”

Randall Willenstein, who is also Margaret's eldest son, has a solemn and solemn expression: "The whole city is very calm, and of course there are no accidents in those stores of the Rising Sun Company. ”

"Do you know what's going on?"

Margaret's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply: "The information you gave me before, but that Iron Thorn's vindictive spirit is extremely strong. I know that this red-robed priest of the Dragon Witch Cult is by no means a patient person. ”

"It's also something that feels strange to me, I've had people follow them all over the city, however"

Randall spread his hands: "It's a pity that the intelligence network we have has not found any traces of them so far, they seem to have evaporated from the world and completely disappeared into this world." ”

Margaret's face turned cold: "I said, Randall, to keep in touch with them. Sometimes you don't need to be too shy about it, can't that old man guess it? The Wildenstein family is not just you and me who are involved with them. Too much suspicion will arouse suspicion. ”

"Of course I did, but the people of the Dragon Witch Cult are very defensive of us, they think that Antonio and Cressy Jakes have been betrayed, and they don't want us to know their condition. ”

The young man named Randall smiled bitterly, and then thought thoughtfully: "But in the early hours of this morning, there was a little situation in the east of Atlanta. There was a fight between the outsiders over there, and the direction was behind the Fire Club, but the battle was very short-lived, and only a dozen gunshots were heard by the surrounding crowd, and those people quickly cleaned up, leaving no trace. I suspect that the disappearance of Iron Thorn is related to this shooting, but there is no evidence to confirm this. ”

"You mean, the people of the Dragon Witch Cult and the Iron Thorns have been removed?"

Margaret straightened her back suddenly: "So what happens everywhere, have you done an investigation?"

"Since I have such a guess, I naturally will not miss any possibility. But the current situation makes me confused."

Randall said puzzledly, "The old man's man didn't make any moves, and it's not Nesson's Hand Insurance Company." And whether it is the Department of Homeland Security, or the Cathedral of Light, there is no change in anything, this is certain. I think it was my grandfather, the power he had nurtured in the dark, or some of the other enemies of the Dragon Witch Cult. ”

"It's not going to be Consuri! He's been patient until now, and there's no reason to make a move at this time. He can hide it from us, but he can't hide it from the Council of Elders. ”

Margaret fell into contemplation: "Continue to investigate, find a way to contact the Holy See of the Dragon Witch Sect, and confirm the life and death of Iron Thorn, I know they have a way." ”

"Understood!" Randall nodded, "Actually, I was about to do it." However, I think that the main focus we should be on the stores of the Rising Sun Company now. ”

Margaret couldn't help but glance sideways at Randall: "The stores of the Rising Sun Company, do these stores have a lot of sales?"

"It's huge! The business research company we commissioned gave me a number that was beyond my imagination. ”

Randall solemnly placed a document in Margaret's hand. The latter opened it directly and found that there were 27 photos taken from nine different stores, taken at different times, but each one was a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder.

And outside that store, there was even a long queue of hundreds of people.

Margaret looked at the picture on a four-piece sheet with a table of statistics and forecasts for nine stores. Then the first line of data made her face wonderful.

"The estimated sales of a store are 2.4 million gold dong? Randall, are you kidding me?"

"Mother, there's Drew Corporation, Atlanta's most reputable business investigative agency. According to them, this is the most conservative number. ”

Randall explains: "If you take into account word-of-mouth and the clustering effect, they estimate that the upper limit of sales may reach 3.2 million gold dong, which is expected to serve 800 to 1,200 customers." This is due to the fact that they have prepared a serious shortage of sales personnel, plus some temporarily hired college students, there are only more than 40 people, and they are unable to serve more customers. However, this will have a hunger effect, and the sales boom will be maintained for the next few days until the end of their campaign. ”

"Activity?"

"Look at the last page, there are flyers distributed by the Rising Sun Company on the streets. ”

Randall pointed to the back of the folder, "They did a campaign where within fifteen days of opening, all Japanese and German appliances sold in the store were discounted by 10 percent. Then, after the consumption reaches 1,500 gold dong, you will also get a small electric oven, and after 3,000 gold dong, you can get a rice cooker or oven. ”

"10% off, and giveaways, can this make money?"

"Yes, the price they get from foreign manufacturers is already very low, and I expect them to have an agreement with the manufacturer, and after the sales reach a certain number, there will be a rebate of 2 to 4 percent. And this kind of small electric oven is not worth much, and they give away some unsalable models. It is estimated that their net profit after excluding labor and various costs can still reach five to seven points. ”

Margaret's face turned dark, and she directly ordered the driver in front: "Don't go to the company first, do you know where those stores of the Rising Sun Company are?" Take me to the nearest one to have a look." ”

About fifteen minutes later, they were riding in Norfolk Sacred Power and drove slowly past Dennis Avenue in the southern uptown of Atlanta.

The Rising Sun Retail Dennis Avenue store is on their right. Margaret looked out the window and saw that there was indeed a long queue in front of the spacious storefront. This attracted many people to watch, and there were some beautiful women dressed as waiters, handing out leaflets to passers-by.

"Coincidentally, that's Jennifer. ”

Randall looked sideways in a certain direction: "It seems that she is still more concerned about her brother." ”

Margaret also glanced over there, and then withdrew her gaze indifferently: "I wonder, can we stop him?"

"Mother, he's already strong enough to compete with other electrical appliance sellers, and this guy has plenty of money. The sales of the lucky bracelet of the Nathan Sports Group are very hot, and Andre has a lot of income in it, so ten days ago, the Rising Sun Company had already borrowed from the Georgia Lehman Bank at an annual interest rate of 9% to 40 million gold dong, and they were conquering the city all over Atlanta. And now, the hot sales of these stores will bring them a lot of cash flow. ”

Randall said thoughtfully, "But I can try to see if I can bring other forces into the game." And my cousin, who seems to be looking too far ahead. Instead of continuing to lease, he directly bought the ownership of those large stores, which now number seven and cost 23 million gold dong. This may be an opportunity for us to take advantage of, I think if he plans to expand as quickly as possible, then the financial pressure of the Rising Sun Company will be extremely unbearable."
