156 Business Mind (1/2)
”Wow, who cooked these meals, King Don? You have such a great chef, you are so lucky”
King Edward couldn't help but praise the one who cooked the food when he tasted it. As a king, he went to many balls and parties and tasted various types of foods but never did he eat something like this.
”Yes, King Don, I've never tasted anything like this, especially this soup”
When General Brown was asked to join them, he felt a little uncomfortable eating with two kings but the moment he put the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but forget about etiquette for a moment and stuff his belly full of these tasty foods.
”Lord Clemo,how's the food?”
Lord Clemo was busy dealing with the pork chop when Don asked
”Your majesty, like King Edward and General Brown, just said, this is delicious”
The three of them had more experience in this world that Don so he decided to ask them about his idea to open a few restaurants
”So would you buy these dishes if I sell them in a restaurant?”
”Of course, I'll happily spend my coins”
King Edward said while tasting the steamed fishes
”King Don, are you planning to open restaurants in your kingdom?”
General Brown asked as Don shook his head
”At the moment, my people can't afford even the lowest price I could charge them for these dishes but things will change”
Hearing Don, General Brown routinely expressed his approval and blessing, but in his heart, he disapproved. How could the common folk even dream of tasting a fancy meal like this? It was merely whimsical. Even in higher ranked kingdoms, they are far from this point, not to mention the desolate land of Emir and poor Agorians.
However, General Brown tossed aside the complaints and continued to enjoy the feast.
”But the nobles and rich people can, King Don. If you want i tell my people to find a good place to open up a restaurant in my kingdom, since there's no royal dine in Sigalla, a fancy restaurant would be a good investment”
King Edward made a good impression on him as he was really a good man with a heart to help others and even though he doubted that he's doing this without any ulterior motives, he seemed a good man in this world compared to other nobles and kings.
”I'll be happy if you do that, King Edward, of course, I'll pay the taxes according to your laws”
”Let make a toast for this deal”
As he said, King Edward raised his wine glass and made a toast.
King Edward already guessed that Don was a youth with big ambitions and enough power to achieve those big ambitions and it would be a great idea to help him when he was not a big deal and earn his favor.
”But King Don, how many restaurants are you looking to open? It would take a great amount of wealth to run a business at the beginning”
Hearing General Brown, King Edward, and Lord Clemo nodded their heads as just as he had just said, it would take a large amount of wealth to run the business before the business starts to earn and attract a stable customer base. Unlike in Sigalla, other kingdoms had royal dine branches that would be a great competitor for Don when he opened up a new restaurant. Suppose their business became threatened by Don's new restaurants. In that case, it could lead to some pretty nasty problems.
However, with his peak grandmaster level cultivation, Don was now on the top of the food chain and only a heavenly level cultivator could be able to harm him. But those cultivators rarely interfere in petty issues like business competition.
”Wealth is not a problem, General Brown, the only thing I do need is permission from the other kings”
