MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 253 Grab and trade
Chapter 253 Grabbing money and trading
As early as the initial decision to start with money, Lynn received a lot of opinions and news from the barrage, and I have to say that Lynn was surprised by their profound knowledge.
"Small businessmen to large business empires", "How to use power to make money quickly", "Various ways to clean black money" and so on.
These things made Lin En feel that they were more or less millennium-level criminals, the kind who could not atone for their crimes just by cutting off their heads.
Of course, after excluding some impossible crimes, they finally managed to come up with a very feasible plan for Lynn that fit Lynn's current situation very well.
It's called, "Suppression and Merger."
Lin En told Corinna about the revised plan in detail. Corinna, who was not familiar with business, could not understand what was going on. Later, I also thought that this was indeed a good idea, so I went to implement it honestly.
It's just that she didn't know how much change this seemingly ordinary business plan would bring to the kingdom.
The summer in the Rhine is rarely scorching, but today is an exceptionally cool day, which is very suitable for shopping.
Half a month after their wedding, Malena finally saw her older sister again in a high-end restaurant.
Sitting facing each other, Marlena looked at her sister with an aggrieved expression on her face: "Sister! Have you forgotten me and haven't come back to see me for so long?"
"." Malika turned a blind eye to her younger sister's coquettishness, and just gave her a blank look, "I thought you would care about why I came out to find you during my honeymoon with my husband."
"Eh? That's right!" Marlena finally came to her senses.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t the newlyweds be together sweetly and sweetly all day long for a period of time after the wedding?
Could it be that.
"That guy is not very good, ouch, why did you hit me?" Marlena covered her head, feeling a little wronged now.
"Forget it, you stayed in the hotel all day, so you really didn't know." Malika sighed, "He was called away by the Knights in the afternoon of the wedding day."
"Huh?!" Malena's eyes widened, "That is to say, the groom wasn't there on your wedding night?!"
"Yeah, I'm not here, not only that night, but also the days after that. If my father hadn't arranged a new house for us, I wouldn't know how to face his family."
"Didn't he tell you what happened?"
"No."
Marlena was a little angry: "This is too irresponsible. Even if it is a big arrangement, I have to tell you first. This bastard, isn't it?"
She wondered if that guy didn't treat her sister as a wife who could spend her life together, but under the threat of her sister's eyes, she honestly swallowed this stupid sentence.
Malika was actually a little depressed, but she still tried her best to defend her husband in front of her sister, so as not to let the relationship between her closest people become rigid: "He should have encountered a very important thing, and we just got married not long ago, Views on relationships haven’t shifted yet.”
In the end, she felt that she was getting darker, so she chose to change the subject.
"In short, the weather is good today, let's go shopping."
At this time, Malena showed a rare obedience, nodded obediently, and agreed.
The shopping location of the two sisters was not on the silver avenue that most people yearn for.
Marika is a thrifty woman who manages the house. Although she is not short of money, she is really not interested in things with extremely low cost performance. Marlena does not reject going to Silver Avenue, but today she is a supporting role, honestly following her sister to beg her sister It's her job to be happy.
After the two left the restaurant, they chatted without taking a carriage, and walked along the street towards the west of Catalina, where there was a very special area.
The city of Catalina does not have blocks. In other words, each street is a block with its own administrative personnel. When people say where they want to go, they always say the name of the street. There is only one place, obviously There are many streets, but they are collectively referred to as "the school land".
Because this is the territory of the church.
Here, the Xinghui Church has set up many church schools. While teaching children literacy for free, they will also instill faith in them.
The existence of a large number of schools means that there will be a lot of demand for diverse and cheap consumer goods such as food and clothing. If there is demand, there will be a market. Therefore, these streets are full of various shops. .
They don't pay attention to brand and quality like the Silver Avenue, and even the patterns are not as good, but the advantage is that they are a place that most people can afford, and because there are too many homogeneous stores, they have to put quality lift up.
In short, if you just go shopping, most people may go to Silver Avenue to see the world, but if you have similar needs and want to get something, in Catalina, the church school area is usually the first choice for the public.
When she was about to reach the area around the church school, Malika suddenly remembered that her sister had been complaining that she didn't like her clothes, "Marlena, did you buy new clothes? I went to a store to customize them before. Not too bad, or else."
"No no no no." Malena shook her head frantically, almost showing reluctance on her face.
Regarding the choice of clothing, although Malika will consider her sister’s opinion, she also has her own principles in it. Like Marlena once told her, she wants to try clothes that are very revealing in her opinion (sleeves) When the hem of trousers is two to three centimeters shorter than the normal clothes), she immediately strangled the idea of killing her sister with physical means, and then ordered a batch of clothes for her that did not reveal anything except her neck and hands. suit.
Marlena is suffering in her heart.
Obviously those clothes look really good on her, why is she being treated like a devil by her sister!
God knows why there is such a gap in aesthetics between people!
Therefore, after she grew up a little bit and was qualified to buy clothes by herself, she never wanted to tell her sister what she wanted to buy—but before she got married, Malika still got Marika through special means (telling her father). Lianna's right to buy clothes, she used practical actions to show that she would never let her sister go astray.
In short, after finally getting rid of the shackles of her sister, Marlena, who was able to let herself go, heard that she was going back to the dark age again. Use this way of directly hitting the soul to reject the sister's arrangement.
Unfortunately, the suppression of blood made her thoughts really just fantasies. In the end, she still couldn't compete with her sister, so she honestly followed her into a clothing store.
However, when they entered the store, the scene was somewhat unexpected.
"Huh?" Malika looked around blankly, "Why is there no one?"
This ready-to-wear store, which was once popular because of its craftsmanship, has become a deserted shop today. The clothing styles around it are obviously quite exciting, but no one appreciates it.
"Miss Shania, Miss Shania, are you there?"
Following Marika's shout, the door at the back of the store was hastily opened, and a woman with a haggard face came out.
Seeing a familiar guest, the woman's eyes finally had some light: "It's you, miss, do you have any requests today?"
"Um"
Malika expressed her thoughts, and at the same time, she also found that when recording her request this time, Miss Shania was obviously much more serious, and her attitude towards her was more enthusiastic than usual—not to say that she was cold as usual, It's just that there are too many guests, it's hard to take care of everyone, but today without other guests, her attitude is obviously better.
"Miss Shania." When Shania put away her notes, Malika finally couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "What's going on today, what?"
"There are no customers, right?" Shania sighed, "You don't know, a businessman came from somewhere recently, and he opened several stores here."
"Any more competitors? But I think, with your skills, ordinary people should not be able to compete with your guests?"
"My craftsmanship is good, but" Shania hesitated to speak, and sighed again, "clothes, after reaching a certain level, it is difficult to improve the quality, unless it is placed on the silver avenue Go up and upgrade the grade, otherwise, it’s almost the same.”
"The reason why I can't sell clothes now is that although the quality of the goods bought in that merchant's store is a bit worse than mine, the price is much lower. In our judgment, it is only the cost price. "
"Cost price?" Malena came over at this time, "Is that person doing charity? Or is he deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
Shania was silent for a moment, and said: "At first we also thought he was competing maliciously, but soon we discovered that his purpose was not to steal our business at all."
"That person took advantage of the low price to **** a large number of customers from many colleagues. It's okay for people like me who rely on craftsmanship to attract a large number of regular customers, but the things in the hands of most people are actually not bad. Instead, when a product of the same style at a lower price appears, most people will definitely choose the one with the lower price.”
"As for things like clothes, people don't buy them every day. Buying one or two pieces is almost enough to get through this season. Therefore, after being robbed of a large number of customers, many people's business cannot continue. gone."
"Then, that person appeared and revealed his true purpose."
"He offered a price, hoping to buy our shop"
"—He beat us to, take our store."
"!"
Marlena was shocked, and said angrily: "That's a beast! Malicious competition, forced acquisition, how can you bully people like this!"
"Um" Shania said awkwardly, "Forcing the acquisition is not really counted, because the price he offered is quite suitable, and as for not selling, he will not ask people to come up to block the door—anyway, there are not many of them. The guests are here."
“.”
Hearing these words, Malika was a little confused.
Tallinkos is from a merchant family. As the eldest daughter, although she was not raised as an heir, after long-term contact, he has more or less developed a sense of business.
But in the face of this obviously commercial war, she couldn't find anything out of it.
Buying at a loss and buying a store at a suitable price is not like a behavior that can generate profits.
The only thing Marika can think of is this mysterious businessman who wants to monopolize the price after buying all the shops, but the royal family will never allow this scene to happen, and it will definitely lead to sanctions.
Then this is, why?
Marika couldn't figure it out, but she wasn't going to think about it any further.
Because of this incident, there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with them.
And in her opinion, this kind of money-losing business can't last long.
Even her father, the richest businessman in the Rhineland, could not support this kind of long-term and unprofitable burning of money.
Buying a few more, he should almost go bankrupt, right?
Marika thought so, and continued to chat with Shania about the details of the clothes.
Malena couldn't intervene in the conversation between her sister and the boss, and was left alone, but her character has always been a character that can't sit still, so she slipped out of the clothing store on the pretext of going to buy juice, Prepare to breathe.
Randomly found a beverage shop around, and Malena woke up the clerk who was about to fall asleep.
"Three glasses of juice, thank you."
The clerk who woke up started to make non-stop immediately.
During the waiting time, Marlena looked around boredly. When her eyes fell outside, her eyes suddenly paused.
"Four glasses of juice, thank you."
Lynn and Corinna strolled on the street in front of the missionary school, and most of the surrounding shops had already fallen into their hands—to be precise, it was under the name of a newly established charity organization "Dawning Star".
After these stores were acquired, some of the shopkeepers remained open without dismissal, and some of them closed directly to avoid rising costs.
The reduction of stores brought about the most significant change, that is, the flow of people in some areas decreased at the same time, making the surroundings a bit quieter, so quiet that Corinna could almost hear the sound of leaves falling on her hair.
“.”
Plucking the leaves off her head, Corinna turned her head to look at Lynn: "We are almost out of money."
"I know." Lynn's reply was very simple.
"So, then?" Corinna asked puzzledly, "We lost money to suppress the surroundings, and then bought their stores. Then, shouldn't we use them to create more money? Why should we close them?"
"Well," Lynn said leisurely, "Miss Corinna, you can indeed make money just by working part-time and crafting, but its income is far less than what we need at the moment, and it takes too long to take effect. limit"
"That is to say, you didn't plan to use this method to make money from the beginning?" Corinna was stunned, "Then why buy them? Is there nowhere to spend the money?"
"No, no, no." Lynn shook his finger and said, "Miss, do you know how ordinary people get money the fastest?"
“.Temporary worker?”
"Yes, the daily salary of temporary workers does come quickly, so what about being a nobleman?"
"I do not know about this."
"It's very simple." Lynn said with a chuckle, "The answer is, Rob."
"Rob?!"
"You want to say that this is illegal, right? But, people like you, can the law really restrain you?"
"." Corinna fell silent.
Although she didn't want to admit it, it was true.
"So, I am going to grab money, and to grab money, you have to prepare weapons."
Lin En raised his jaw: "They are all my weapons."
"Of course, the nobles are good-faced, so it will be a deal."
"A transaction with merchants who are richer than nobles."
