"Lucio, thank you very much!" Sean thanked Lucio very much.
During this period, Lucio really gave Sean a lot of help.
After Matthew left, Sean entered the Elf Forest to level up, mainly relying on Lucio's peak bronze level strength.
Now Lucio borrowed another loan to alleviate Sean's urgent need, and Sean felt it was necessary to give Lucio a small gift to express his gratitude.
So Sean said: "To express my gratitude, I will give you a barrel of 'Holy Light Flame' liquor bar!
After all, this is the long-lost spirit of the dwarves, and it is the first batch to be produced, so it is highly collectible!"
"Thank you, Your Highness Sean, I will accept the strong drink!" Lucio readily agreed:
"There is no need to collect it. When my dad breaks through the sky level, I will give it to him to try!
But then again, Your Highness Sean, you have to work harder! If you become my brother-in-law in the future, we will be a family!"
Upon hearing Lucio's words, Sean's eyes lit up: "Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law? Lucio, do you want to introduce your sister to me? Is she cute?"
Lucio wiped his sweat: "Well, the sister I'm talking about is Jessica! According to the family's genealogy, Jessica is my cousin.
If you marry her, you will naturally become my brother-in-law."
When he heard the name "Jessica", Sean suddenly had a dark thought: "You said Jessica, it is definitely impossible for us. I, a little baron, can't reach that high!"
Lucio smiled mysteriously: "It's hard to tell, I've never seen Jessica chatting so happily with her peers!
And if Jessica wants to become the head of the River family, her husband must choose one of the weaker Viscount Barons...
Forget it, let’s not talk about it, I’m leaving first, and I’ll ask the butler to sign the contract later.”
"Okay, Lucio, walk slowly, I'll see you off."
Sean took Lucio's words as a real joke and didn't take them to heart.
...
After Lucio left, Sean returned to the study and began to write a letter on parchment.
This letter was written to Anduin. The main content was about the recent severe situation, asking Anduin to prepare early in Riverbank Town.
As for writing a letter, Sean planned to ask Windsor to take the letter back with him when he returned to Riverside Town.
...
Shortly after the letter was written, the butlers Henry and Windsor returned to the residence.
Sean asked his servants to call the butlers Henry, Windsor, and Caviez Lodian into his study to prepare for the third meeting since arriving in Jon City.
Windsor and Henry were so busy that they didn't even eat lunch, but they didn't complain and quickly arrived at the study.
After everyone arrives, the meeting officially begins.
Windsor first reported to Sean about their purchase of supplies and horses.
At the end of the report, Windsor concluded: "In short, everything went smoothly and there were no accidents."
Sean nodded: "As long as it goes well! Then let's wait for the negotiation between me and the dwarf envoy.
If the dwarf envoy is unwilling to provide protection to Hetan Town, we will still act according to the original plan;
If the dwarf envoy is willing to provide protection to Riverbank Town, Windsor, you will first transport supplies and horses to Riverbank Town, and at the same time give this letter to Anduin."
Sean handed the letter he had just written to Windsor.
Windsor stretched out his hands and took it respectfully.
Sean continued: "After giving this letter to Anduin, you will return to Yonn City immediately, do you understand?"
"Understood! Sir." Windsor said seriously.
…
After handing the letter to Windsor, Sean continued: "Okay, let's start with the next item.
At noon today, I, Jessica River and Lucio had lunch together..."
In the next period of time, Sean told the three people in front of him about the contract he signed with Jessica and Lucio.
The three of them listened quietly without interrupting.
After hearing the end, butler Henry's eyes lit up:
"Master, does the contract with Lady Jessica really say that the best clothing store in the River Chamber of Commerce will be leased to us?"
"That's right."
Henry, the butler, said happily: "If I remember correctly, the best clothing store under the River Chamber of Commerce is the 'Golden Layden' at No. 104 York Street.
The location of this store is very good, and our products will definitely sell well there!
But...I have a question that I don’t know whether I should say."
"Say." Sean waved his hand.
"'Golden Layden' is located in a prime location on York Street. The monthly rent is as high as 500 gold coins. Sir, you must consider it carefully!"
"So expensive!" Sean was shocked.
500 gold coins is enough to buy a house or a workshop in a civilian area. Unexpectedly, this is only one month's rent for "Golden Layden". No wonder Jessica signed the signature so readily...
Sean wiped his sweat and said:
"Fortunately, I borrowed a loan from Lucio, otherwise I would be completely out of money now...
If nothing else happens, we can still afford the rent of 500 gold coins.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.
Henry, from now on the business in Yoon City will be left to you and Luo Dian!
You are responsible for the production and transportation of the goods, Luo Dian is responsible for the sales and accounts, and I make the major decisions, do you understand?"
After all, Luo Dian has the [Business Talent] skill, so he must make good use of it.
([Business Talent (Passive)]: Raviz Lodian has a keen sense of the prices of items on the market and is good at buying low and selling high.)
...
The butler Henry turned his head and glanced at Luo Dian. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he thought that the master had not entrusted him with sales and accounts, which were the most important aspects of the business.
But Henry still said: "Okay, sir!"
Luo Dian had been listening quietly. When he heard Sean's words, he immediately stood up from his seat and replied:
"Okay, my lord!"
Sean can't stay in Yoon City forever, so the business in the city has to be left to others to take care of.
Originally, Sean wanted to leave all the business to Luo Dian, but he was worried that Luo Dian might not be qualified. After all, the workload was very heavy;
Leave it to the butler Henry. After all, Henry is an aborigine and cannot be trusted 100%.
So Sean handed the business over to both of them at the same time.
With mutual cooperation, they should be able to do a good job in business!
…
Seeing that Henry was a little disappointed, Sean walked up and patted Henry on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, I've seen your performance during this period, and it's time for your salary to increase.
Isn’t your salary this month 60 gold coins? I’ll increase it to 70 gold coins next month!”
"Thank you, sir!" Henry, the butler, said happily:
Thinking of his high salary, Henry's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and he even glanced at Luo Dian in a show-off manner.
Chapter completed!
