MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 16 Gouging

  Chapter 16 Poaching

  There are three seas of people.

   Those who open the spiritual sea, practice meditation, absorb free spirituality, and then study arcane methods.

   Those who open the sea of ​​​​blood, practice blood refining methods, nourish blood and food to strengthen fighting spirit, become knights, and then refine fighting skills.

   Those who open the sea of ​​Qi, practice breathing, and resonate with plants to sense the power of nature, can be spiritual plant envoys and cultivate various spiritual plants.

  Regardless of Qi Sea, Blood Sea and Ling Sea, they are all part of the spiritual arcane system. Among them, Lingzhi can sort out free spirits, thus forming a special aura, which is more convenient for arcanists to practice meditation.

  Therefore, many arcanist mansions will plant a large number of spiritual plants, so as to sort out the mixed and thin free spirituality into a stable and rich spiritual aura.

  Duke also wants such a spiritual aura: "It's a pity that a spiritual plant is often priced by a golden dragon. I have been renovating the card repair shop these days. The principal is used up too quickly, so I need to save a little... Fortunately, the card repair shop can probably get a golden dragon a month, and I can buy a spiritual plant after a few months."

   Whoa whoa!

  The big rooster in the alley at the back door began to crow facing Dongfang Yubai.

  After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Duke first went to a bun shop in the back door alley to buy a few buns for breakfast, and then walked through the front yard into the card repair shop, ready to work.

   However, as soon as he entered the shop, he realized that something was wrong.

  The door of the card repair shop was not open.

   "What's the matter, Bob is late?" Duke opened the store door himself, and then simply tidied up.

   Not long after, the new apprentice Levin rushed over: "Good morning, boss."

   "Morning, Levine, did Bob ask for leave yesterday?"

   "Um, I don't know." Levin was seventeen years old, and he was very strong, but he was a bit silly. After scratching his head, he went to tidy up his desk.

  Duke waited for a while and found that not only was Bob absent, but neither were the apprentices Bobby and Thomas.

   "There is a problem!" He squinted his eyes, "It is normal for a person to be late occasionally, even Bob and Bobby and his son are late together, but Thomas is also late?"

   Waited until eight o'clock, Bob and his son and Thomas still did not come.

   Instead, the card repairer Dilanco came.

   "Mr. Dilanco, you're here so early." Duke got up and greeted.

  Diranco said: "Boss Duke, you don't know, Best has opened a new card repair shop, and even poached Sane, Bob and his son, as well as Thomas."

   "What!" Duke was surprised.

   "Best invited us to dinner last night, dug them all over the dinner table, and quoted a price to me, which is much higher than the salary commission here."

   After Dilanco finished speaking, he looked at Duke carefully.

  Duke was also a small factory owner before crossing over. He immediately understood what Dilanco said. He immediately suppressed his anger at Best and the others, and said calmly: "Mr. Dilanco, I will match Best's offer to you. No, I will add another 10% of your salary on top of this!"

   "Oh, are you sure?" Diranko smiled, "Actually, I don't care about this, otherwise I would have agreed to Best."

   "You don't care, but I have to say, Mr. Dilanco, thank you for refusing Best to stay in Little Sam's Shuka shop."

   "Haha, I've been working here for ten years, and I'm used to it. I don't want to change the environment for a while, especially when Best is the boss. I feel a little bit uncomfortable."

   After a pause, Dilanco said again: "However, Boss Little Duke, you have to pay attention. Best has opened a new card repair shop, which will directly compete with Little Shaman's card repair shop. If not done well, the business here will be squeezed out."

   "I understand, but don't worry, Little Sam's card repair shop has more than 20 years of signs, and it will never be so easy to be robbed of business. I will recruit new card repairers as soon as possible, and then make some discounts to stabilize customers." Duke understood everything and relaxed quickly, "But it will be hard for Teacher Dilanco during this time."

   "It doesn't matter, if I repair a few more cards, I will earn more."

  External card repairers do not get a fixed salary, but a basic salary plus a piece-based share. The more cards repaired and the higher the level of the spirit card, the more commission they get.

   Di Ranco went to repair the card, and Levin was his apprentice.

  Duke stood at the counter in person, ready to welcome the guests who repaired the card. At the same time, he was silently thinking about how to deal with Best's poaching and the next competition.

  At this time, Bob suddenly walked in with a face of shame: "Little Duke..."

  Duke took a serious look at the other party, and said: "Bob, you should have told me in advance, you can raise it if you are not satisfied with the salary, there is no need to surprise me."

  Bob smiled slyly: "Well, I did it last night... well, it's over, I'm really sorry, I'm here to return the key to the store."

   After receiving the key, Duke didn't say anything to keep it, but said: "I respect your choice, I will settle your salary for you now, and you send a message to other people, come over and settle the salary as soon as possible."

   "Hey, little Duke, you're such a nice guy."

"hehe."

  Send Bob away.

  Duke quickly took out a board and wrote a recruitment notice on it: "Our store is recruiting two card repairers, with good remuneration, detailed interviews; another recruitment counter, with a monthly salary of 20-25 silver dragons; one in the kitchen, with a monthly salary of 15-20 silver dragons; two apprentices, with a monthly salary of 6 silver dragons."

   Finished writing.

Hanging on the wall.

  After careful consideration, he took off the sign again, and added a post at the back: "Two deliverymen are recruited, with a monthly salary of 20-25 silver dragons."

   Another board was taken, and it was written on it: "Our store launches a shopping assistance activity, which can help customers purchase scarce spiritual cards from Shenjiao City."

  The two boards are hung on the wall together.

   Touched his chin, Duke smiled with satisfaction: "Recruiting people with high salaries, sending cards home, and purchasing spirit cards on behalf of others, with a three-pronged approach, I don't believe that Best can compete with me!"

  As an earth traveler, he has a lot of ideas about running sales.

  If it wasn't for Best to play this move with him, he actually didn't intend to use it. After all, the foundation is shallow now, and everything is based on low-key cultivation. The best time to develop is when the strength is strong enough to protect itself.

   Now let’s try it out first, deal with Best, and stabilize the customer source of Little Sam’s Shuka shop.

  …

  It was noon that day.

   At No. 207 Second Vertical Street, not far from Little Sam's Shuka shop, the Best Shuka shop, which has been secretly renovated, officially opened.

  In order to create momentum, Best specially invited a band to play popular music.

   Attracted many neighbors to stop.

  Duke quietly mixed in the crowd, walked around the door of the Best Shuka store for a while, and found that the store was about the same size as Little Sam Shuka's.

  In addition to Best and Sane, another card repairer was invited.

  Bob, his son, and Thomas busied themselves with smiles on their faces, and Best, who was promoted to the boss, laughed like a chrysanthemum, exuding high spirits all over his body.

  If old Sam was still there, he would never dare to open a store to grab business. After all, old Sam's reputation for more than 20 years is swaying. Now it's Little Duke's turn to be in charge, and Best believes that it won't be long before the reputation of Little Sam's Shuka shop will plummet. Then the business of the neighbors in the neighborhood will be owned by the Best Shuka shop.

   "Hey, hello, please come in, please come in, the best card repair shop hires the best card repairers in the industry, and you must repair your spirit card to the same as the new one!"
