Volume 10 Storm Iron Guard Chapter 7 Information Station
Capital is the most prosperous local unit on the Cady continent. They are usually trade centers and have strong economic capabilities.
The five-star triangle area is the prime location of Cangyun City, the most prosperous area among the most prosperous local units.
In the Five-Star Triangle Area, there has never been a distinction between downtown and non-busy town, because there are always the most people coming and going here, even in the middle of the night.
The huge flow of people has also brought booming business to the merchants in the Five-Star Triangle District.
"Sleepless Night" is a wine shop in the Five-Star Triangle District. It occupies an absolute location advantage. The boss never worries about the deserted scene. He only needs to stay in the wine and happily type the abacus to calculate every day.
earn an income and direct the work of the workers.
"Hurry up, Lister, you idiot, the guest at table 23 has urged you three times to bring the barbecue immediately!"
"Anna, can't you increase the speed of mixing wine? Look at the Baihua Brew in the barrel, it's almost bottoming out!"
"Laun, go clear table 11. The customer over there has been gone for half a minute. He's so clumsy and makes me so angry!"
The owner of Night Night, Wavre, is a typical miser who doesn't get any money. In order to save money, he hired waiters who were far from being able to cope with the number of guests. As a result, the waiters in the wine shop were so busy that they barely had a moment of rest. He
Still dissatisfied, he kept complaining. The chef, bartender, waiter, and cleaner were all subjected to his urging like flies.
In Wavre's eyes, guys can never do enough, they can do more, more!
Wavre must squeeze out every bit of their energy and exchange it for his own value, otherwise he will not be able to afford to pay them a monthly salary of five gold coins.
When he thought about his salary, his heart began to ache again.
There are two shifts of waiters, ten in each shift, which works out to ten crystal coins. This is a lot of money!
It would be great if there were free guys in the world that you could hire without paying!
Of course, this is just a delusion. What makes Wavre even more annoyed is that he still has to take care of the guys' meal. Although the food is not much, these guys are like hungry wild beasts, and they can eat five pieces of white rice.
Six bowls, even a girl like Anna can eat three bowls. Recently, the price of rice in Cangyundu has increased again.
No, even the amount of white rice provided must be effectively controlled.
Wavre believed that remuneration was more painful than hemorrhage. In fact, it was already the basic salary for the lowest-level workers in Cangyun. Don't forget that the workload of each clerk is twelve hours a day. During this period, he was busy and tired.
Half dead.
It's a pity that they all come from slums. Finding a job is not easy, so they can only endure it silently.
If it weren't for Cangyun City's laws that stipulate that the basic salary in the entertainment industry cannot be less than five gold coins, and the working hours cannot be longer than twelve hours, Vaful would probably be even more demanding.
A customer came to the counter. Wavre stopped scolding the waiter and quickly put on a smile: "Hello, distinguished guest. May I ask someone?"
This simplest welcome phrase actually has a lot of technical content. If there is only one guest, the consumption is limited after all, so it is not cost-effective for him to occupy a table, even the smallest table in the wine room.
.If he has other companions, then it has to be a different matter.
If it were in other places, the boss would naturally welcome all the guests.
But this is the five-star triangle area. You never have to worry about the prime location for business. Even the customers have to make conditional choices. Only in this way can we make the maximum profit.
The guest was a young man. He shook his head and said, "No, you two!"
After hearing this, Wavre realized that there was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old following behind him. He was very plainly dressed and had no outstanding appearance. Wavre almost ignored him.
This little kid can basically be ignored. How old is he? He might not know how to drink, so he immediately made the wisest judgment: "What a pity, distinguished guest, you see that all our drinking seats are full."
,I have to express my apology here."
The store outside was indeed full, but the people who had just paid the bill and left the booth in the back booth No. 11 were vacant. However, Wavre felt that it was not worthwhile to provide a complete set of booths for two guests with limited spending.
The young man said calmly: "I'm not here to drink."
His words made Wavre frown. If people who come here don't drink, what are they going to do?
He spoke the common language of mainland China, and his accent sounded like he was not a local. Could it be that he was just an outsider asking for directions.
You must know that time is money, but it is very precious. You have to be busy supervising the guys to work. You can't waste too much time on this guy who can't bring value to yourself. Wavre's tone suddenly became cold,
He also omitted the word "noble" that had always been in his mouth: "Guest, if you want to find a place in Cangyun City, the cleaners outside are very familiar with the city. I think they should be able to provide you with a good service."
s help."
"I'm not asking for directions, haha," the young man smiled: "Are you the owner of this wine shop?"
Well, he was not a drinking guest, nor was he asking for directions. Wavre couldn't figure out his purpose, but he still nodded: "Yes, I am, may I ask you..."
"Well, I want to buy your wine!" The young man said his intention straight to the point.
"Buying wine?" Wavre was obviously surprised.
You must know that this wine shop is his cash cow, and he invested all his money and efforts in it.
However, there is no business that a businessman does not do. In the final analysis, it is a matter of whether the price is suitable.
The young man held out five fingers: "Boss, this is my quotation, what do you think?"
"Five thousand crystal coins?"
In an ordinary small town, five thousand crystal coins would buy a medium-sized wine. This offer is quite tempting.
But don't forget, this is Cangyun City, a prosperous capital city, and it is in the center of Cangyun City day and night.
Wavre sneered in his heart. He was really a layman who didn't understand the market. He thought he could take away his cash cow with this little money? Childish!
Wavre said indifferently: "I'm sorry, sir, I have no intention of selling wine. I have devoted my whole life to it in the dark. It is as important as my child and cannot be measured by money!"
The young man smiled slightly and said: "Boss, you seem to have misunderstood me. I meant fifty thousand, fifty thousand crystal coins!".
"Five, fifty thousand crystal coins!?" Wavre held his breath and quickly began to calculate.
The investment in this winery is 10,000 crystal coins. If the other party buys it for 50,000, he can earn 40,000.
According to the current operating conditions, after deducting all expenses such as wages, taxes, depreciation of items, etc., wine can bring him a net profit of more than 80 crystal coins every month. He can earn about 1,000 crystal coins every year.
It will be forty years before I can earn forty thousand crystal coins. At my current age, whether I can live another forty years is a question.
In other words, this is a great deal that's definitely worth it!
But before that, Wavre had to make sure of one thing: "Sir, are you kidding?"
No matter how patient a businessman is, he will not be patient enough to start making profits after 40 years of business.
The young man smiled slightly and said: "Boss, do you think I am joking?"
"No problem!" Wavre said almost immediately, fearing that the other party would regret it.
The young man smiled and said: "Boss, didn't you say that this restaurant is as important as your child, and it can't be measured by money?"
Wavre laughed: "Sir, I have to add that as long as the price is reasonable, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Including my own son!"
"So, sir, when can we go to the union to sign the ownership transfer contract?"
"The sooner the better!"
"Okay. Let's leave immediately. What are we waiting for?"
Wavre was even more anxious than the young man, and the employees in the wine shop didn't bother to pay attention. Whatever they were, the wine was no longer his own from today on.
The transfer contract was successfully signed, and then the fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid brought by the young man became the wine supervisor.
Of course, he was not yet capable of managing wine, so the young man hired Wavre for three hundred crystal coins per month for three months, during which his task was to pass on all his management experience to the child.
Of course Wavre was employed, and his salary was several times higher than his profit from operating the winery, so why not?
The young man is naturally Gu Yao, and purchasing wine is his new plan.
If the Thieves Guild is the largest information concentration center in the world, then wine is a station for scattered information. From the mouth of a drunkard, you can always get a lot of information that you can't usually get.
The young man is one of the mature and shrewd children he selected from the slums. He will be responsible for taking care of the wine and receive half of the remuneration, but the prerequisite is that he must collect information about the wine and provide it to Gu Yao through carrier pigeons every week.
If they are lazy and fail to provide useful information, they may be removed from their positions as supervisors.
This is just a very simple job. Those children who escape from the hardships and unexpectedly get a high-paying job are naturally grateful and do it wholeheartedly and meticulously.
After all, the information of a wine shop is leisurely, but if it is added up to dozens or hundreds, it cannot be underestimated.
In the next few months, Gu Yao purchased dozens of counties and cities in the mainland and hundreds of liquor stores in the bustling areas with the highest density of information, and placed the children there one by one according to the previous method.
In this way, his information network has become quite large. In addition to the Thieves Guild, he has another way to quickly obtain information.
During this period of time, Gu Yao also became an A-level thief and took up the position of a trade union cadre.
Everything is ready, all that’s left is to wait for the east wind to blow!
