Chapter 1288 The First ‘Negotiation’ with the Lending Organization

No matter whether it is the Blue Planet or the Zephyr Continent, human beings will never be able to get rid of the problem of procrastination.

For example, right now, on the conference table, a stack of documents filled with secrets is presented in front of you.

To be honest, the quantity and quality of secrets these little nobles have are beyond my expectations.

Among them are not only the uses of several special rooms, but also matters related to the lending organization.

It has to be said that those special rooms are really special. Two of them are used for discussing secret matters, and the remaining ones are all set up to satisfy the boss's special hobbies.

Looking at the crimes committed by the boss on the paperwork, I have to say that he indeed deserves to die.

Fortunately, I handed him over to Boss Rennes, believing that with Boss Rennes' methods, he would not be allowed to die before all the torture projects were completed.

It is worthy of the poor people who were persecuted by it.

As the saying goes, businessmen are ruthless.

Those businessmen who engage in speculative trading are even more ruthless.

Less than a day and a half after I became the boss, the lending organization sent an envoy to meet with me.

In order to dispel the envoy's doubts, I specially chose the room where my previous boss was negotiating with the credit organization.

I want to give him the illusion that I took over the jewelry store in a legitimate manner, and it was not a swindle.

The messenger was a sly-looking guy, his eyes were moving around, and he looked very cunning at first glance.

Sitting opposite each other in the room, filling two glasses of wine, clinking glasses and drinking together, we started our first ‘negotiation’.

The content of the negotiation was not much, mainly discussing the future development of the jewelry store and the price of stability for opening a store here.

I didn't elaborate on the development with him, not only because it was unnecessary, but also because I had no idea about the development. After all, I had just acquired the store, and I was still thinking about how to kill you, so I had no time to think about this.

As for the price of stability, to put it simply, it is a threat, a threat from lending organizations.

The general meaning is that if you want to run a stable business, you have to pay the monthly payment. As long as you pay the monthly payment, the organization will protect you unconditionally.

To put it bluntly, they are here to collect protection fees.

When I asked about the monthly payment amount, the messenger narrowed his eyes and asked in a questioning tone: "Didn't the previous boss tell you anything when he handed over the store?"

"He left in a hurry. After he handed the store over to me, he was nowhere to be seen. Speaking of which, I still have to deal with a lot of unfinished troubles he left behind!"

I pretended to be dissatisfied and blamed.

"It's really strange." The messenger pinched his plump chin and said to himself: "This old guy ran away without saying a word. Did he encounter a difficult idea, or..."

Suddenly, he raised his head and asked me: "Hey, let me ask you, did you encounter any difficulties after taking over the store?"

"There are too many." I sighed and said, "What are you referring to?"

He thought for a moment and said, "What is the most difficult thing for you?"

"Money!" I said excitedly: "Who would have thought that such a large store would have so little working capital? When I first took over, I almost collapsed when the finance department showed me the accounts!"

"This old guy actually took the money and ran away?!" the messenger whispered.

If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to hear his muttering, but I am an adventurer, and a good adventurer. My five senses are not only sensitive, but also greatly strengthened. It is no exaggeration to say that I can't hear anything ten meters away. I can distinguish the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings!

Not to mention the whispers that were no closer than two meters away.

However, if you hear it, you can’t say anything.

I pretended to be confused and looked at him blankly.

"Since the working capital is gone, how can you support this store?" The messenger narrowed his eyes.

"Fortunately, my family has a small amount of money, and together with my friends and the old shareholders here, I can barely get the store running."

At this point, I sighed deeply: "You don't know, these old shareholders, even though they are all nobles, are stingy. I spent a lot of effort and a lot of words to finally persuade them, and the result is In the end, they only invested a small amount of money, and a few shareholders even withdrew their capital, so fucked up!”

I made an angry fist and smashed the table, pretending to be furious.

"Nobles are very stingy, I understand this," the messenger smiled and comforted me: "However, we are all commoners and cannot defeat the nobles. It is best not to hold grudges and live in peace."

"Hey, you're right," I said with a heroic expression on my face, "Compared to them, you are more considerate!"

"What are you talking about!" The messenger patted his chest and said, "How can we be like those cold-blooded guys from the nobles? We are humane. We are all from civilian backgrounds. Of course we should understand each other!"

"You're right," I said, pretending to wipe my tears, "it's so great to meet a friend like you."

"It's nothing," the messenger said with a smile, "It's not your fault, it's all the fault of the running away old man and the cold-blooded nobleman. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, just look for your brother. Wherever I can help you, brother, I will I’ll definitely try my best, but”

He changed the subject: "The monthly payment still has to be paid as usual. This is a rule set by the organization. After all, my brother is a member of the organization, so he can't ruin his job!"

"Yes, you are right." I wiped the corners of my eyes and said, "How much is the monthly payment?"

"In previous years, there was a fixed monthly payment, but seeing as you just took over, it's not easy. Let me give you some money." The messenger said, "Just use 20% of the store's profit as the monthly payment." Bar."

"Isn't this a bit much?"

I looked embarrassed.

"Not much, not much anymore," the messenger said, "It's only 20%. Before, I had always paid 30%!"

"That's it." I slumped down on the chair a little sluggishly and sighed repeatedly.

The messenger looked at the magic clock on the wall, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, I'm quite busy, so I'll leave first."

"Oh" I raised my head in confusion and saw that he had stood up. I immediately came to my senses and stood up quickly, stretched out my arms and respectfully sent him out.

The messenger looked proud, and before leaving the gate, he did not forget to reply to me: "Remember to come to your brother if you have any trouble. If you come forward, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"

Seeing his figure fading away, I turned around and sneered.

Is there any problem that cannot be solved?

I’m afraid, none of you can solve the problem of ‘me’.

From beginning to end of this meeting, I did not sign up or ask his name.

The reason is very simple. When asked for your name, you have to give your name.

Although I don’t know if they have any information about my relationship with the New Heroic Guild, it’s better to be careful.

The monthly payment is 20% of the store’s profit?

It’s really a lion’s mouth!

Do you really think I don’t know that the monthly payment of the previous boss was actually only 10% of the store’s profit?
