Chapter 158 (1/2)
Compared with the jubilation in the mermaid song, the slow-moving carriage didn't look so happy on the warm winter street.
Compared with the smiling crowd on the street, viscount Norris's face was always so gloomy and cold. He looked at the passing crowd, the food in their hands and the smile on his face. Everyone talked happily about the previous battle and what wonderful game he would see tonight.
Looking at all this, the Viscount's fist was squeezed tighter and tighter involuntarily.
A guard was driving in front of the carriage, and the guard who had just put his sword in his seat was now sitting in the carriage with the viscount. The guard's face looked uncertain. After seeing the Viscount's silent expression, he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
The carriage came to the side of the arena. Although it was only morning, some people had begun to line up here, hoping to buy one or two good seats.
Glancing over the simple but orderly arena, viscount Norris suddenly said——
”If this guild war is held in xiehu City, how many times do you think we can do this town?”
The guard was a little stunned. After thinking for a moment, he quickly said: ”it must be three times... No, at least five times! Because the biggest radiation of Pelican town is xiehu City, but if xiehu city really holds such activities, it can radiate to several more distant towns and cities. Moreover, the venues in our city are larger and there are more activities. After several times of holding, xiehu city will certainly change from such a small city to a big city that will not lose to the capital Hanhai city! ”
”Then why, after listening to your suggestion and making the decision to acquire the management rights of all stores in Pelican Town, would I be overthrown by the president of the mermaid song? I lost hundreds of gold coins in vain? ”
Although Viscount Norris's voice seemed very flat, it seemed that he was just saying something that had nothing to do with himself. But the guard who heard this could not help but tremble, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
”This... This is because... Because...”
”For what? Is it because there's something wrong with your plan? Or is it because my execution is stupid? ”
Viscount Norris continued to look out the window at the prosperous street and said slowly——
”Before I followed your suggestion to buy the whole Pelican Town, neither of us thought that the residents of these Pelican towns could take the action of 'partial sale, partial never sale'.”
”I'm also very surprised that some of the stores they said they would consider were suddenly agreed to sell the next day. I was very happy and thought our plan was successful. ”
”But then I found that some other stores refused to sell anything. Even if we doubled the purchase price, they refused to sell.”
”At first, you said that the residents of this marginal town were conservative and would rather keep their own management rights than sell them. But as the acquisition went more and more smoothly, I finally found that all the shops that agreed to sell the management right had the same or similar business projects in this town. ”
”In other words, even if I bought the right to operate those stores, as long as there are the same stores operating in Pelican Town, I can never monopolize them. No matter what they say, they are also local snakes. Even if I mobilize a large number of businesses in xiehu city to seize it, it is impossible to raise the price in the case of local commodity competition. ”
”Moreover, most of the people who came here to watch the guild war came from xiehu city. They were already familiar with our xiehu City products. Naturally, they would not pay high prices to buy goods originally from xiehu city. In contrast, they are more willing to buy some local specialty products in Pelican town. In other words, it's impossible for me to earn back the money used to buy the management right. ”
”Hum, I spent money, but I didn't achieve my original goal at all. Moreover, my business behavior has been seen through by the other party first, and it has been directly used by the other party to make me lose money. Where do you think I should recover my loss? ”
Then the Viscount's face finally turned to the guard in front of him and said coldly——
”What do you say? Crowbar, Mr. unbeliever. ”
When the Viscount called his name directly, the crowbar's face immediately changed! He sprang up from his seat, knelt on one knee in front of the Viscount, his back was covered with cold sweat, and said tremblingly, ”your Viscount! I... I really didn't expect... But you... You know, I'm completely towards you! I really... Really... Want to make money for the Viscount... If not the president of the mermaid song... If not the bastard! I... I... ”
Norris seemed completely uninterested in the crowbar's self-defense. He continued to look at the prosperous street outside the window and said, ”Pelican Town, I understand that although the mayor here has a set of unity, he is a straw bag in economic development. This time Pelican town was able to play such a strong executive power. After thinking about it, I can only think of the new Guild president. But... ”
”You suggested that I come directly to the president this time, but the first thing I saw was the high priest. How many times do you want me to hit the wall? Do you think it's interesting that I ran into people's Guild angrily and had to escape immediately because of the Holy See of light? ”
Now, the crowbar finally stopped talking. He knows that no matter how much he says, he is wrong. If one doesn't say well, he may immediately encounter the most terrible end!
There was no talk between the two until the carriage completely left Pelican town. However, compared with Norris's coldness and expressionless face, the expression on the crowbar's face was green and white for a while. I tried to think about how to answer this question. I don't know if I should continue to praise the Viscount? Or continue to cajole, or make another plan that you don't understand to avoid this disaster first?
”Forget it, it's my mistake to expect you to help.”
