Chapter 423 Business with Barbarians

Coconut put on new boots, and was surprised to find that he was not unsteady due to the strange appearance of the boots. Instead, the center of gravity of his entire body was pressed smoothly on the center of the soles of the shoes, making him more stable than standing barefoot.

"Very comfortable!" Yeguo couldn't help but admire: "I thought I had to be careful about falling when I put on these boots."

Coco took two more steps, and the metal boot soles made a loud "ta-da" sound on the floor.

Luke observed Coconut's steps and said: "This is the power of technology. This kind of low-end material can only do so much in such a short time. When I return to Raging Wave City, I will find someone to help you."

Measure the size of your feet, redesign the overall design, and make a pair of combat boots specifically."

Ye Guo asked: "Should I go back to Nutau City with you?"

Luke shook the agreement he had just signed: "While the contract is in effect, you have to listen to me. Let's go, it's lunch time, come with me to discuss business with Mrs. Fekchik."

"Okay." Ye Guo was very excited when he heard about the business discussion. This was a good opportunity to learn how to do business.

The coconut clattered behind Luke,

When they arrived at the dining room, the servants had already filled the table with food.

When Mrs. Fekchik saw Luke, she immediately happily invited him to the seat closest to her: "You drank too much last night, and you were out all morning today. I will catch you at noon.

You must tell me more about Raging Wave City, which is the center of world fashion, and I am responsible for introducing world fashion to the Holy Mountain."

"I've been really busy these two days." Luke sat down and said to Mrs. Fekchik, "Thank you for your hospitality, madam. During today's lunch, I want to have a good chat with you about world fashion."

"Great!" At this time, Mrs. Fekchik saw Coconut's new boots and exclaimed: "What a beautiful pair of boots. They make your whole body stand up straight and make your figure appear smooth."

Curves. Mr. Luke, is this the curvy beauty of women that is popular in the world? Are boots with this shape the latest style of women’s boots?”

"This...this is a medical leg correction boot I customized for Coconut. She injured her leg before and needed external force to repair it." Luke was afraid that Mrs. Fekchik would wear a pair of these boots.

He opened the door, casually made up a reason, and then changed the subject: "I heard, madam, that you have many shops and workshops in the Holy Mountain?"

Talking about her second favorite hobby, Mrs. Fekchik's heavily made-up face immediately burst into laughter: "My husband is so good at making money. Every time he sends me money, I don't know how to spend it. You see

What does the Holy Mountain look like? It's a remote place far away from the center of fashion. There is nothing to show off the wealth of the Fekchik family.

I can only exchange all the money for a store and let everyone see that although my husband is a barbarian, he can do business better than the best humans in business.

The last letter Fekchik wrote to me mentioned extraordinary pets, which are cute things that the upper class ladies in Raging Waves City like to keep. Can you tell me in detail what kind of pets they are?"

The extraordinary pet business run by Luke has opened up the market in Raging Waves City. A gathering of upper-class people and talking about extraordinary pets can easily bring the relationship between two people closer. Now the extraordinary pet association opened by Luke has held many extraordinary pet competitions

, the extraordinary pet rating standard is being accepted by people step by step, and the day is not far away when we can make money by issuing certificates in the future.

As a pioneer and monopolist of the extraordinary pet market, Luke has a lot to talk about on this topic.

After Luke introduced what extraordinary pets are to Mrs. Fekchik, he said: "Rage City is now the largest market for extraordinary pets. Every day, it receives many wealthy people from all over the world who come to buy extraordinary pets. Extraordinary pets are docile and easy to use.

Training is a good lubricant for communication in most social situations.

Therefore, extraordinary pets have always been in short supply, and some high-quality extraordinary pets require auction bidding to obtain."

Hearing that extraordinary pets were so popular in the world's fashion, Mrs. Fekchik immediately said: "This time you return to Raging Waves City and tell Feikochik that you must buy me an extraordinary pet.

The extraordinary pet is something that has never been heard of in the Holy Mountain. As the only person who owns it, I will definitely make everyone envy it."

"Okay, madam. When I return to Raging Waves City, I will tell Mr. Fekchik of my wife's request." While Mrs. Fekchik was happy, Luke asked: "Are there many shops and stores in the Holy Mountain recently?"

Is the workshop for sale again?”

Mrs. Fekchik replied: "There are many shops and workshops for sale, and I will go to discuss some business this afternoon. When Fekchik comes back and sees that I bought so many shops and workshops for him,

He will definitely be happy to have a wife who is as good at doing business as he is."

"Madam is really very business-minded." Luke praised without hesitation, and then made his own small request: "I made a lot of money in my adventure career. I originally wanted to invest and do business in Raging Waves City, but I found that I

This money can't even buy a factory there.

Since there are so many shops and workshops for sale in the Holy Mountain, I would like to partner with you, madam, to buy more shops."

Hearing that Luke actually wanted to invest in a store in the Holy Mountain, Mrs. Fekchik said disapprovingly: "You, an outsider, want to buy a store in the Holy Mountain. It is not a good idea. The law here will not protect you. I can buy it."

The reason I own so many shops is because my husband is a member of the barbarian family, and his brothers can protect my shops."

"It is precisely because of this concern that I want to cooperate with you, madam. I will provide the funds and you will purchase the store. The store will be under your name. We will share the money earned privately. As a thank you, I can give you the money I earned

I will give you one-tenth of the money as a thank you to the Nashi family."

Mrs. Fekchik was very interested in Luke's proposal.

Two people buying a store will definitely buy more than one person. In the eyes of outsiders, so many shops belong to the Fekchik family, which further demonstrates the wealth of the Fykochik family. And Luke is willing to make money from him.

Give one tenth to yourself, this is money you picked up for free.

Mrs. Fekchik asked: "How much money are you prepared to invest? If it's too small to buy a few stores, and one-tenth of the commission, I won't want it."

"My savings are twenty thousand..."

Mrs. Fekchik showed an expression of unwillingness to take you to play: "So few?"

"Golden coupons! They are all stored in the World Bank and can be withdrawn at the Holy Mountain Branch."

"Twenty thousand gold coupons!" Mrs. Fekchik's eyes widened: "Is it so profitable to be an adventurer?"

Ye Guo, who was eating on the side, said: "Mr. Luke is a very good adventurer. The bounty for him to receive high-level commissions is very high... very, very high."

Twenty thousand gold coupons is equivalent to 100 million Reichsmarks. Ye Guo knew that Luke had earned 100 million Reichsmarks on the way to the Holy Mountain.

Mrs. Fekchik calmed down her mood and said to Luke: "The price of a store in the Holy Mountain is about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Imperial Marks. The workshop is slightly more expensive. After all, the workshop area is generally larger, and there are

Most craftsmen and apprentices need to pay hundreds of thousands at a time, and some workshops with excellent craftsmen may need millions.

Your 100 million Reichsmarks can buy many shops and workshops."

This is pretty much what Luke learned.

The economy of the Holy Mountain is backward, the land has not yet been commercialized, and the value of craftsmen is higher than the land.

If the Celtic Duke lifts the factory restrictions and factories enter the Holy Mountain, most of the craftsmen will be worthless. Therefore, Sergey, a human businessman who knows the inside information, sells his shops and workshops.

Mrs. Fekchik acquired so many shops and workshops that she would not be competitive with the factories that would be built in the future. But the taxes that should be paid had to be paid, and the wages that should be paid had to be paid. When she was unable to afford the expenses

, will sell all the shops and workshops in hand at low prices.

At that time, the human businessman Sergei bought back all these shops and workshops. The people were laid off and sent to factories, and the land in his hands became more and more expensive as the economy rose.

Very smart take-all.

But this time Mrs. Fekchik has a cheat.

Luke is her plug-in.

Luke said to Mrs. Fekchik: "Then please Madam, please use all my money to buy a shop and workshop. I won't stay in the Holy Mountain for too long, so in order to rush for time, I am willing to buy it at a premium."

"Isn't it too much of a disadvantage to acquire at a premium?"

Luke ate the meat on the plate and replied to Mrs. Fekchik: "Although it seems to be a bit of a loss, compared to making money in the future, of course the more shops, the better.

Madam, you don’t have to specifically talk to those merchants who are willing to sell their shops. You can also talk to those who are unwilling to sell. I believe that as long as the money is in place, there is no business that cannot be negotiated. "

Mrs. Fekchik looked at Luke: "Is this the attitude of the upper class in Raging Waves City when discussing business? I used to argue with others over a little money, and it was indeed too disrespectful.

Don’t worry, Mr. Luke, as long as you are willing to pay a premium, I promise to turn all your money into shops in the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, and the Nishui family will protect their safety!"

Seeing that Mrs. Fekchik was so confident in acquiring the store, Luke continued to say: "It doesn't matter if the 20,000 gold coupons are spent. My credit rating in the World Bank is very good, and I can get a large loan from them."

.You can just buy the shop with confidence, you will definitely have enough money!”

With that said, Luke took out a check and handed it to Mrs. Fekchik.

Then come up with an agreement.

Mrs. Fekchik didn't think much about Luke's ability to get so much money. She was originally a very simple savage and did not have the shrewd mind of her husband.

Now with an "unlimited" check open to spend, Mrs. Fekchik's second love trumped her first.

After Mrs. Fekchik carefully read the agreement, she signed it as she thought there was no problem. Then she lost her appetite, stuffed some random things into her mouth, and couldn't wait to go shopping.

Ye Guo, who was sitting opposite Luke, asked: "Why did you buy so many shops in the Holy Mountain? It seems like you can make a lot of money. But according to my understanding of the merchants in the Holy Mountain, the profits of the shops are not high, and the craftsmen can't make much in a day."

.If you resell goods from outside, you won’t need much shop.”

Luke said: "In business, there are short-term ones and long-term ones. What I'm doing this time is long-term. Even if I don't make a profit or even lose money for a period of time, in the long run, I will definitely make money."

"I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Luke didn't want to explain to Coconut Guo, so he asked, "Are you full?"

Coconut drank all the milk wine in the cup: "I'm full, what else can I do?"

"Isn't there a strongman competition in the afternoon? After we're full, let's go over and participate in the competition."

The whole morning of training made Coconut forget about the game, and he only remembered it after Luke reminded him.

"Yes, the strongman competition. After seeing your competition with those barbarians yesterday, I believe you can definitely shock everyone's attention in today's competition.

Let’s go quickly!”

Coconut, who was extremely enthusiastic about the game, in turn urged Luke.

After Luke finished the food on his plate, he took the coconut fruit to the venue of the Hercules Competition. Unexpectedly, he encountered a group of barbarians just after he left the house. They were the barbarians from the Stone Family who lost the strength competition with Luke yesterday.

When the barbarians of the Stone family saw Luke, they surrounded him as if they were a brother.

After a flurry of greetings, Luke knew their purpose.

The barbarians knew that Luke was going to compete in the Strongman competition in the afternoon, so they came here to cheer Luke on. They were happier than they were participating in the Strongman competition themselves.

"Brother Luke, you are the strongest human being I have ever seen. You can definitely win the Strongman competition."

"But you will definitely not be able to grab the golden belt of the most powerful strongman. We still have to see which barbarian can defeat you."

"The strongest ones must be the barbarians. But Brother Luke is really strong. Today the entire Holy Mountain will know that there is a human being who is stronger than most barbarians."

"The most powerful human beings are our good brothers!"

The wheel battle at the pool party made the barbarians of the Stone family admire Luke's strength. They came to cheer for Luke and wanted to see who could defeat this human strongman.

A large group of barbarians surrounded Luke and swaggered through the streets of the Holy Mountain. Many people recognized that this group of barbarians belonged to the Stone Family. They scratched their heads and thought... When did the barbarians from the Stone Family become so close to humans?

The Arena of Hercules is a landmark building on Mount Athos. Its shape is similar to the Colosseum, surrounded by stepped stands and a circular competition venue in the middle.

The strongman competition is held once a month. The top ten will receive the winning prize, and the first place will receive the golden belt and enjoy the cheers of the audience.

The competition goes very quickly, starting in the afternoon, and most of the time the winner is decided towards the evening.

The registration method is also very simple. There are several huge stone piers at the entrance to the competition venue. If you hold one of them for ten seconds, you will be eligible to participate in the official competition.

Many barbarians will try, but there are very few barbarians who can lift the stone pier completely to qualify for the competition.
Chapter completed!
