Volume One, The Wizarding World Chapter Sixteen, Business
Chapter 16
Now that she decided to attack Willy, Jasmine showed the excellent qualities that a qualified noble should possess: always consider everything carefully and not let herself get into unreasonable difficulties.
"So, how many family resources can Master Hyde mobilize?" She was weighing the strength of both parties to make a reasonable decision.
What resources do I have? To say this to a wooden person who has been beaten since childhood is not to deliberately make things difficult for others.
Ian cursed in his heart, his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "You know this, don't you ask? My home is in Yorkshire, in the south of Los Angeles, six hundred miles away from Appleton. Even if I have the strength, I can't do it in time.
All this can only be left to you."
Although he clearly looked like he was being taken advantage of, his eyes did not dodge, nor did he show the slightest bit of shame, leaving Jasmine speechless.
"Then how much capital can you come up with? You always need capital to invest in shares, right?" I don't know why she didn't ask this question again, but instead raised another problem. She came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money, so
He planned to ask his mother for some money, "Do you think one thousand pounds is enough?"
This is the maximum amount she has at her disposal.
Ian was a little speechless and thought, "Do you want to send a thousand pounds to the beggar? Or do you only plan to buy a few shares?"
Jasmine's ignorance about business made him helpless, but he didn't say anything. After all, the money this person could afford was far more than that of a pauper like him, so he had no right to make irresponsible remarks.
Poor people naturally have to make other plans. Ian shook his middle finger and showed a malicious smile on his face: "That's enough, one pound is enough."
It's a lie. Jasmine didn't hide her suspicion and said in a serious tone: "Master Hyde, we are discussing business. Can you be more serious?"
Ian spread his hands, showing a helpless look, and said sadly: "Oh~~ Why don't you believe it? What I said is true. We don't have to pay a penny, and we still get the equity."
"Forget it, since words can't convince you, let's prove it with practical actions... Let's go to Willy's house."
"Now?"
"Now!"
…
The two of them changed their clothes and walked all the way to Catherine's mansion, where they were immediately welcomed in as the most distinguished guests.
As soon as Willy saw the two of them, he said excitedly: "Two adults, you have finally changed your mind. Thank you!"
After not seeing him for a few days, his complexion became worse and he looked haggard. But Ian knew that it was not because of ghosts, because the murder weapon had been taken away by them, so the real reason must be the sharp arrow hidden in the dark.
It is not difficult to understand why he was so excited when he saw Ian and Jasmine visiting again.
Haven't thought of a solution yet? This will be easy.
Ian grinned, and then gave him a look: "We can help you deal with the Ax Gang and even Pastor Condra, so that he doesn't dare to cause trouble for you. But accordingly, this Miss Jasmine and I are going to
Do you agree to the 20% stake in Riley Company?"
"What?"
Dissatisfied and angry questions rang out.
"Hey, don't get excited." Ian raised his hand and pressed it down, saying to Willy who was on the verge of breaking out, "Don't be so angry, Sir, the business is all settled."
"Don't even think about it, jackal!" Willy was furious.
"Isn't it a good deal to exchange 20% of the equity for your family's safety? Isn't this the trading ground that the Ax Gang is targeting you for? The reason why Condra used ghosts to assassinate you is because he covets your company's wealth. If it weren't for us,
Help you, something will happen to your company and family sooner or later, right?"
His light words were like a heavy hammer, knocking open Willy's psychological defense line, forcing him to retreat step by step.
Although what Ian said, the Ax Gang has been coveting his company for a long time.
but……
"It's just you? How can I trust you? Even Pastor Roger can't help us, so how can you two prove your ability?" Willy asked in a deep voice, staring at Ian.
When it comes to the safety of his family, he has to deal with it carefully.
I’ve been waiting for your words!
Ian's head was overjoyed, and then he raised his right hand, stepped aside to let Jasmine out of the way, bowed slightly, and smiled politely: "It seems that we need to re-introduce our Master Willy: This person is from Glory.
Family Felix, the third heir to Earl Silverlight—Miss Jasmine Felix.”
"Phoenix family!" Willy exclaimed in surprise, completely unable to believe that such a distinguished man would appear in front of him.
Jasmine raised her chin slightly, showing proper arrogance.
What Ian wanted to see was this look. He took back his hand and grinned brightly.
"I am not talented, I am the eldest son of Earl Hyde and the future Lord of Lae, Yorkshire - Ian Hyde."
"I believe that with Miss Jasmine and me as partners, no one in Devon and York would dare to cause trouble for you - whether it is business or other fields, what do you think?"
He threw the question back, but Willy now understood that the best choice was right in front of him.
The olive branch extended by two proud nobles was something that the merchants of Camelot could not even imagine.
The pride of the nobles makes them arrogant, and the arrogance flowing in their blood makes them never willing to lower their stature to engage in business to make money, so what Ian said really surprised Willy.
But what he said is right. In Camelot, and even the entire main plane, the nobility is the law, and the great nobles are the best backers and shields.
Don't look at the fact that the Ax Gang is now harassing Willy, a Justice of the Peace with a far-reaching financial reputation, the Bright Pastor Condra is also secretly harming people. This is because Willy, besides having the title of Justice of the Peace,
There is no dignity at all.
In essence, they are still citizens, civilians, and humble people.
However, once he becomes Ian and Jasmine's business partner and gets on the ship of the Hyde family and the Felix family, it will be a different story.
Even Kondra, who backed the Church of Light, would not dare to provoke him at will, let alone the Ax Gang, an underground force that could be beaten to death by local police officers.
Nobles and kings share the same world, this is not just talk.
Power comes from strength. As a strong man, wizards are naturally qualified to share the power of the Pendragon family of the Camelot royal family with priests (advanced professions of priests), knights and other classes, so they themselves are also guaranteed by this qualification.
, it’s just that Phoenix’s name is much easier to use right now.
"Ah, you two are of noble birth, why didn't you tell me earlier? If this is the case, why should I refuse? Master Hyde, Miss Phoenix!"
Willy, who was still furious at first, immediately changed his face. He knew that this time it was definitely a blessing in disguise.
"You two, please come in. Can I report on the progress and prospects of the trading site? I will have someone prepare the contract immediately."
Taking advantage of every opportunity is the talent of a businessman, and the same is true of pressing every step of the way.
Willy knew that as long as La Moli was involved, the prospects of Riley Company would definitely soar. Everyone in Devon County knew the name of Earl Silverlight, and everyone knew how powerful he was.
As for Ian, although he was the son of an earl and a stranger from Yorkshire, he knew at a glance that Ian was the key to La Moli joining the gang, so he was equally enthusiastic.
His life and future were at stake here, and there was no room for him not to care about it.
At this moment, Willy seemed to have returned to twenty years ago, when he was still a pauper with nothing. On that day, he was about to meet the first important client in his life. He was full of energy, excited, and would never back down.
Jasmine pretended to ponder for a while, and then nodded when the other party was gradually disappointed: "Okay!"
