Chapter 175 (2/2)
”What do you mean?”
”I don't care about that damn aristocratic Council.”
Donne touched his hand. ”Trust me, I have a way to deal with them myself.”
”But business license -”
”No, no, no, Duke, you are not businessmen, so you don't understand what kind of creatures businessmen are.”
Donne waved his fingers and said with a smile, ”businessmen pursue profits, so the business license can be done only by paying for money. As for what business alliance, I am not interested at all... Among the conditions you said, the only one that interests me is the shop with the best location.”
Yes, this is the only condition that really works for Donne.
The land, especially the land in this metropolis, must have been monopolized by those nobles. In this case, even if he has gold coins, he can't buy them. He must have contacts, quiet and strength.
However, even if he knows this, don still has to try. What if they don't know?
By the way, I can pour a basin of cold water on them.
Negotiation is about who can take the initiative.
As soon as they smiled, Donne poured cold water on them: ”however, shops can be solved with gold coins... For a businessman, as long as gold coins can solve the problem, it is not a problem.”
Obery, his face is as black as ink.
”Hum! Smelly boy! Are you too confident!”
Adrian said with a straight face, ”this is Alex, not Ellington. No one will sell your face... If you want to buy the best shop here, you don't have gold coins. You don't have identity and contacts. You don't even have the qualification to enter!”
Or he reacts quickly!
Oberli sighed with relief and nodded: ”yes, the best shops in arlinks have long been controlled by various noble families. Just because you are an unknown Lord without identity and background, you also want to buy them? Money won't sell them to you.”
Boom!
Don't you think these two old guys understand?
”That's right.”
O'brie and Adrian smiled again.
”So we can still trade.”
”Then as I said before...”
”No, you have no right to negotiate terms with me.”
Donne smiled very badly: ”you must and can only listen to me in the way of trading, because... Elsa listens to me.”
This bastard
Oberli clenched his fist and managed to restrain himself. Then Donne continued, ”the only thing I can promise you is to try to persuade Elsa to accept you, stay with you these days, and come back to see you when I have a chance, but it's impossible for her to stay. Ellington needs her and I need her.”
”What you need to pay for is a shop that satisfies me. There is no need for anything else.”
O'brie took a deep breath and said with a smile: ”that is to say, you don't want to pay anything. If you use your mouth, you want us to take out real gold and silver?”
Donne let go and looked very innocent: ”in this transaction, you are the party who makes demands, but I don't have any necessary demands, so of course I take the initiative. It's a big deal. I'll leave with Elsa.”
”OK... Boy, you're good... It's the first time I've seen such a shameless and honest guy like you in these years!”
For many years, oberli almost forgot the feeling of being influenced by people's emotions. On this day, oberli finally recalled his fear when emotions were dominated
”Thank you for your compliment.”
”I promise you.”
”That's great.”
”Adrian!?”
”Calm down...”
Adrian patted obery on the shoulder, took him aside, and whispered, ”promise him first.”
”But --”
”But what? Are you stupid?”
Adrian looked contemptuous: ”after all these years, your IQ has not improved at all... Think about it. If Elsa accepted us and recognized us, is it our family or the Lord in her heart?”
”Of course it's us...” o'brie was stunned. ”What do you mean...”
”When she has the final say, we will be the boss when we come to that time. What is the kid?”
Adrian said with a grim smile, ”we'll have to pinch him flat and round him at that time?”
”I see!”
Oberli suddenly realized, ”there's really you! How can I forget that... Old man, after all these years, you're still so insidious!”
”I'm not insidious, but your simple thinking and low IQ.”
”You're making trouble again, aren't you?”
Looking at Donne, who sat there calmly tasting tea and was in the mood to tease Elia, Hilton was full of admiration again.
Lord not only has strong strength, rich experience in alchemy and impeccable personal charm, but also has such opinions in business, which even makes Hilton vaguely understand.
Alas, Lord, it's good everywhere, but
Seeing that Donne scratched Elia's neck and ears and made Elia laugh, Hilton's eyes were a little strange. She remembered the rumors in Ellington's house a while ago.
Why is the Lord's hobby so strange? (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at starting point (Qidian. Com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users can read it at M. Qidian. Com.)
