The group returned to their residence smoothly.
After Sean settled the flame imp Levianson, he returned to the study and asked the servant to call the butler Henry.
Henry, who was busy in the backyard, heard the news of Sean's return and immediately put down his work and came to the study.
After entering the study, Henry happily said to Sean: "Master! You are finally back!"
Sean drank some water to relieve his thirst and said with a smile: "Henry, you seem very happy now? What interesting thing happened?"
Henry said happily: "That's it, sir.
During the time you left just now, I followed your instructions to select suitable houses in civilian areas to use as workshops, and a few of them happened to be willing to sell them.
Fortunately, these houses are not only connected together, but they are also located on Pericles Street, which is very close to the residence, only 1.5 miles away.
Not only that, there is a mill and a warehouse that are very large and suitable for us to transform into workshops!"
(The street in front of Sean's residence is Pericles Street. These houses are 1.5 miles away from the residence, which is about 500 meters.)
...
As Henry spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from the notepad and handed it to Sean:
"Sir, what is written on the paper is the quotation of each house. The price of the mill and warehouse is about 800 gold coins, and the average price of other small houses is 500 gold coins.
Not only that, I also wrote some buying suggestions, you can take a look.”
Sean took the parchment and looked at it. In addition to the price details of each house, there was indeed a purchase suggestion attached below.
Henry proposed buying the mill and warehouse, as well as two small neighboring houses.
The warehouse is used to store products, and the mill can be transformed into a production base for making spirits and perfumes. Of the remaining two small houses, one is transformed into a workshop for the production of "Shoes of the Kingdom of God", and the other is transformed into a scribe.
A place for transcribing novels.
The total cost of two large, two small and four houses is 2,500 gold coins.
Sean saw this number and joked: "Fortunately it's 2,500 gold coins instead of 250..."
But Henry, this time we borrowed 3,000 gold coins from Lucio's family, why did you only spend 2,500? Or we might as well buy a nearby small house and spend it all at once!"
"No, sir." Henry said hurriedly:
“It’s okay to buy an extra house, but it’s of no use at this stage and we can only leave it idle for the time being.
If you ask me, it would be better to keep these 500 gold coins as a reserve fund, or use it to recruit craftsmen, and pay salaries to the craftsmen and apprentices."
"You! Your work is reliable, but the biggest problem is that you don't have a long-term vision." Sean smiled at Henry:
"Of course this house is useful, and it is of great use! Do you know what the main cost of making perfume is now?"
"The main ingredients of perfume are flowers, ale and glass bottles. I know, it's a glass bottle!" Henry suddenly realized.
"That's right!" Sean nodded:
"The price of a glass bottle is 3-4 silver coins, so we need to open a workshop that can produce bottles independently, which can save costs.
And the most important thing is that the glass bottles we use now are the ones used by pharmacists to make potions. This can easily make customers associate perfume with potions, which greatly affects sales.
Therefore, we should create uniquely shaped glass bottles to distinguish them from potions, so that people can recognize that these are cosmetics and not potions.
This is directly related to the spread and sales of the perfume, so we can’t be careless!”
"You are right! I will contact the glass craftsmen tomorrow." Henry's eyes lit up and he quickly recorded what Sean said into a small notebook.
After recording, Henry continued to say to Sean:
"Sir! Let's go and take a look at those houses now. I guarantee your satisfaction!"
Sean shook his head: "We are not in a hurry to buy a house now. The money we borrowed will not be delivered until noon tomorrow, and it will not be too late tomorrow afternoon. Besides, I have more important tasks to give you!"
"A more important mission?"
"That's right, this matter started when I left my residence this afternoon. This afternoon, I took Windsor and several others to the Golden Raiden..."
Next, Sean told Henry, the butler, everything about Brody's attack, including the advertisement he placed in front of the store.
...
After telling the whole story, Sean added:
"The onlookers will definitely be curious about the products in our store. It is conservatively estimated that at least half of the onlookers will come to visit the store tomorrow. In addition, they will spread the news about it, and the customer flow should increase by one to two hundred.
Bar!
Henry, you will also go to the store with us to help out tomorrow morning."
"Okay, sir. But Windsor really defeated Viscount Mill of the Bronze Rank? And Levi Anson is also a Bronze Rank Magician? He...their strength is too strong!"
Henry the butler found it incredible.
When he was in Hetan Town, he only knew that the master had a group of guards around him, but he didn't know their strength.
But Henry had no idea that the guards were so powerful.
In his impression, Windsor was only as strong as Black Iron at the bottom, so why was he suddenly at the Bronze level now?
Moreover, the naughty-looking red-haired boy who often follows the master is actually in the middle of bronze. His cultivation talent is too terrifying!
You must know that among the famous geniuses in Yonn City, Lucio, who has average talent and sufficient resources, only reached the bronze peak at the age of 18, Sofia of the Flame Cross Mercenary Group, who has sufficient resources and extremely high talent, only reached the bronze median at the age of 15, and Levi
How old is Anson?
Henry, the butler, felt more and more that the people around his master were a bit unclear.
...
At the same time, the butler Henry also asked worriedly: "But sir, we have such a big conflict with the Viscount of Mill now, we may not be able to resist them next time they attack again.
As far as I know, the strongest man under Viscount Mill is Zude, who is in the middle of the silver rank. There are about ten bronze-level strongmen left. Now Zude is in Shuisong Town, and there are quite a few bronze-level strongmen following him.
By Brody's side.
what should we do?"
Sean took a sip of tea and said relaxedly:
"Don't be nervous, I have plenty of ideas! Now I give you three important tasks, and you must complete them well."
"I will do my best to do it!" Henry said seriously.
"First, go to the black market to buy information about Brody and find out how many bronze-level cultivators he has." Sean said.
Henry nodded and said nothing.
"Second, we must ensure the supply tomorrow. Originally, I estimated that the perfume could sell 20 bottles. After today's advertising, the perfume can sell at least 30 bottles, so we must ensure the supply."
"Master, I can do this too."
"Last point, you go to the dwarf blacksmith now. He must know a lot of carpenters. We need to buy a few ready-made shelves.
As for the shelves, just pick some well-made ones and buy them.
Chapter completed!
