Price of Management

< -- 43 times: volume 2 - chapter 5. Julia Lauren -->

I don't know.

It's my second time.

Julia said with a burning look in her eyes.

“There's only one life, and one has to eat well, live well, be flattered, be respected, and one has no money to make a living... and one has to get high!" ”

Jealousy is what drives that success.

I feel like my visions and my romance are shattering.

“I'm going to pretend to be better than you when I succeed and live and die better than anyone else. ”

Yeah, that's great.

That's how you succeed.

“ ……. ”

It's even scarier to say that with a very willing face. But he had a strong ambition, and the point of trying to achieve it was worth living high.

Moreover, if I do not help you, you will be forced into debt and forsaken as a lover of an old nobleman.

Poor thing.

“Then I'll make you an offer. ”

“What kind of proposal? ”

Julia's eyes gleam brightly.

“Will you be an employee of our meeting? ”

“Yes?”

Julia's face changes with unexpected suggestions.

“I appreciate your superiority and willpower. If you become my subordinate, I'll make you second in line to the Grand Merchant Guild. ”

“… Really? ”

Yeah, actually, Hansen got in a year earlier, but he wouldn't budge with your personality.

“Well, think about it. You know I make a lot of money these days, right? It will continue to do big business, and it will grow even more. You've got a chance to play in the big water. Besides, if you're on my crew, you lose a lot of respect for women. ”

And I was fortunate to have Julia Lauren as an employee of the golden future.

Julia is troubled. It was a sudden offer, so I couldn't say yes.

“Come on, what are you standing around for? Let's have a meal and talk. ”

“Eat at my restaurant! ”

Julia quickly raises her head and reflects. What a great businessman.

I'll get eaten later, right?

* * *

We had dinner at Julia's restaurant.

Sis blew it trying to get three beefsteaks and an apple juice.

It was because I later realized that I shouldn't spend my money carelessly.

I stroked his head like that.

“Sis, you may eat as long as you are my employee. ”

“…… really? ”

“Sure. You don't think I can feed one of our sheaths? I'll feed you for the rest of your life. ”

If I hear you wrong, will it be interpreted strangely?

The two cheeks of the sheath turn red.

Phew, so cute. Are you sure Sis' ancestors were Elves or Spirits?

I ordered a salad and white wine with a dressing of tomato sauce, and Julia glared at me and ordered the most expensive foie gras.

It's gross!

During the meal, Julia and I continued to talk.

“But what business will the baron have in the future? ”

“What merchandise items can make the most money? ”

“Munitions and luxuries. ”

“That's right.”

Just like Julia Lauren.

I was a horse with a smile.

“But there's one more thing. ”

“What is it?”

“Cultural industry.”

“…… Culture? ”

“All human amusement activities that can be seen, heard, felt and enjoyed are the biggest profits. ”

That's probably the first I've heard of it.

The concept of industrial culture was a new commercial venture that appeared around the time I died in my previous life.

“I will do all three things. ”

Julia's eyes widen.

“When the entire continent staggered during the Great Catastrophe, I got a lot of money upside down. It's the perfect opportunity to get into business like munitions and luxury goods. Plus, I plan on continuing the grain business I'm doing, and also trying the cultural business. Well, think about it. ”

I said it willingly.

“Eat, fight, decorate and enjoy. You're going to make money off of everything human instinct says. ”

“Ahh!”

Julia was greatly impressed.

To a woman as ambitious as she is, you have to show her a scale like this in order to win her heart.

As I expected, she glanced at me almost hypnotically.

“So we can sweep away all the money in the world? ”

“Of course.”

“I've decided! I'll be your employee. ”

“Good thinking. ”

We shook hands.

And so the golden woman came into my hands. It took me about 30 minutes to convince Julia.

However, it took more than an hour to negotiate a salary level.

When I faced her who was anxious to raise even a penny more, I suddenly thought I didn't want to lose, so I fought like a child.

In the end, it was decided to be the same as Hansen.

I decided to acquire this restaurant instead.

“I don't want to sell to strangers. It's a restaurant where my youth was buried. ”

I was planning to one day take up residence in the Kingdom of Leaden.

It was not bad to buy a building when the land was cheap.

The restaurant was acquired for 1,000 Redinas.

The capital of this country was much more expensive than our territory.

This is the cheapest land...

Of course, because it was adjacent to the Magic Guild, it was expensive outside, and because it had a lot of money invested in luxury restaurants and facilities, there were 1,000 Redinas.

Anyway, I hired Sis as well as Julia Lauren, so I don't feel like I've lost anything.

A gifted magician and a superior Julia. I know how unlimited the possibilities are for both of you for a long time.

That afternoon, Julia organized the restaurant.

I gave the chef and waiters the last salary for the 400 Redinas I paid for the takeover, and let them take whatever groceries they wanted. Then I closed the door and filled the lock.

“Phew... ”

Julia looked at the restaurant with a pitiful eye. A restaurant built on passion. He closed the door with his own hands.

But soon she shook her head and said to me,

“We're ready, shorty. ”

“Let's give the new employee their first instructions, shall we? I'm leaving tomorrow. Get me a wagon. Can you do that? ”

“It's that simple. I'll wait with the wagon at the inn tomorrow. See you tomorrow!”

As soon as Julia is instructed, she runs away. A wagon. You'll find it in no time.

I also headed to the inn where I was staying with Sis.

By the way, there was a place to stop before that!

I took cis and headed somewhere.

Where is it? It was a clothing store that bought Sis a new robe.

“Oh, there you are. What do you think? As I told you about the refund... ”

The landlady, who gladly greeted me when she saw the sheath next to me, blurred her tail.

You don't need a long horse here.

I laughed and said one word.

“Youth.”

The landlady gave me 80 Redinas with her poop chewing face.

“Let's go, cis. I'll buy you lots of delicious things tomorrow. ”

The sheath nods.

Phew, so cute.

I think I'm mistaken for my third spirit. Spirits of cuteness, spirits of beauty, things like that?

Birthday of Petram and Birthday of Malls.

The two who were plotting to swallow the Kunt Birch were sweating with their backs bent straight.

The cracked sweat and trembling hands on your forehead tell you how nervous they are.

Even so, the middle-aged gentleman in front of him is a giant who they dare not look straight at.

The middle-aged gentleman in a red coat with a temperature-regulating enchantment looked at the two birds with distinctive cold eyes.

“Food is different? ”

“Yes, Earl Ranzhel! ”

“As I said! ”

Bird of Petram and Bird of Mals replied with great reluctance.

Yes, it is.

They were confronted by Earl Wolfgang Lanchel, who was a man of the cloth.

The charisma and cold eyes of Earl Ranzhel overwhelm them as if they were squeezing their souls.

“If you lend me food, I'll kill Kunt." Evan. ”

“Yes, Earl. ”

His sidekick, Baron Evan Taylor, bows his head.

“Rate it.”

“I think I can lend it to you, Mr. President. ”

Then Evan explained to the earpiece what he had to say.

Earl Ranzhel smiles faintly.

“Indeed. Well done, Evan. ”

“A compliment.”

Baron Petram and Mals are more agitated because they don't know what was going on between them.

“I will lend each of you 10,000 sacks of wheat. Kill the Kunt writer next spring. ”

“Yes!”

“Thank you!”

The two authors answer with a cheerful voice inside.

Earl Ranzhel winces as he watches the two birds leave.

“Whether you win or lose, I will get what you deserve. ”

Evan smiled as he devised a ruse.
