Greetings, Mister Principal: Business Negotiation

Morning in Old Street always comes early.

The first day of Izumo month (July) is named Harvest Day. Just as the Summer Solstice represents the beginning of summer, Harvest Day also represents the end of midsummer. The hot summer has gradually faded away, and in the farmland The crops have gradually entered the harvest period.

The days are no longer torturous, and the nights are cooler. White Greenwood, the owner of Greenwood Restaurant, got up from bed, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh morning air.

Although the old street is not as prosperous as Prest City, and can even be called run-down, there is one good thing about it, and that is that the air quality in the old street is quite good.

Greenwood is fifty-seven years old, and the chef of the restaurant has long been handed over from him to his son. He should have enjoyed his leisure time, but Greenwood, like other ordinary working people, will never be idle. Every day, he would inspect every corner before the restaurant opened, and again after the restaurant closed.

Today, he had just finished inspecting the kitchen and felt very satisfied. As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw his son talking to a slightly familiar man.

"...provide corresponding support and help..."

The man was talking eloquently, and Greenwood's son nodded repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

Greenwood frowned, stepped forward, and intervened in the conversation between the two.

"Hey, isn't this Antoine? When did you come back?"

He quickly recognized that this man turned out to be Antoine, who had disappeared for a long time. Greenwood's impression of Antoine still remained on the slightly depressed middle-aged man a few months ago. If it weren't for the fact that he had stayed in the old street for many years and the neighbors had become very familiar with each other, he might not have been able to connect Antoine with the neatly dressed and energetic man in front of him.

"Mr. Greenwood, I returned to Prest yesterday. Just in time, I have a plan here and I am explaining it to Philip."

Antoine also felt a little more confident when he spoke, and his whole aura took on a new look.

Philip is the son of Greenwood. He is thirty-three years old this year. When he saw his father coming, he took a step back and handed over the leadership of the negotiations to his father.

"What is the plan? Please explain it."

Greenwood didn't know much about reading, and he didn't read the plan in Antoine's hand.

"We are planning to acquire the shops around Antoine's alchemy workshop and rebuild a larger alchemy workshop. At the same time, we will also renovate the entire old street, including this restaurant."

Halfway through Antoine's words, Greenwood's eyes widened.

"What? Renovation? We don't need renovation here, and we don't have the money or time!"

Greenwood is anxious. You must know that Piram Alchemy Workshop has told him similar things in the past. They want to acquire most of the shops in the old street and transform them into Alchemy Workshops. Since the economy here is not very good, It is developed, and it is a certain distance from Prest City. The land price is not expensive, so many people are planning to go here.

No matter what others think, this restaurant is more than just a means of making a living for Greenwood. It is a restaurant that was passed down from Greenwood’s father and will be passed on to his son. A few dollars can be spent.

"Dad, don't worry..."

Phillip grabbed his excited father and comforted him.

"Antoine didn't mean that."

Hearing his son's words, Greenwood became even more confused.

"What does that mean? Are they going to give us free renovations?"

He asked, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Although Antoine seems to have made some money recently, he is not so rich, right?

However, Philip nodded.

"That's what Mr. Antoine said. Crescent College will pay to renovate all the planned buildings and adopt unified decoration. We don't have to pay for these."

"Is it really such a good thing?"

Greenwood doesn’t understand. He himself has been in business for so many years. He knows with his knees that no one will do a loss-making business. What is the situation now?

"Ahem, to be precise, while we provide decoration and renovation services, we will also invest in this restaurant at the same time. You will receive sufficient funds, but at the same time, you will also need to make slight changes in operations, such as adding Some menus or something."

Antoine explained that compared with the cost of directly purchasing land, this method of investing in shares is more economical and can also dispel the concerns of these merchants. What's more, if they really buy these shops, they will You have to spend additional money to hire people to operate it, and the cost has increased a lot.

The land of the kingdom belongs to the king, and the nobles are acting managers. To be precise, the shops in the old street only have the right to use the land. In this case, it is better to use cheaper and gentler methods.

Antoine explained to the two of them again. Although Old Greenwood was illiterate, he allowed Philip to read and was able to understand the text on the plan. With the explanation, he understood the plan.

"If it is completed, the old street will become a new attraction in Prest. The shops on this street will welcome a steady stream of tourists, and your business will get better."

Antoine imitated Reiner's tone and gave instructions to the father and son.

"That's not bad."

Greenwood touched his chin. Crescent Coke has continued to sell well since its launch. The sales volume in his restaurant is almost as much as that of other drinks combined. Even a fool can see the sales potential of this new drink, and other The project invested by Crescent College behind it seems to have unlimited future.

The reason why the old streets declined~IndoMTL.com~ was also caused by the gradual prosperity of Prest City and people moving towards the downtown area. Everyone knows the impact of the flow of people on business. If this is the new moon alchemy If the workshop can really bring more tourists, then Greenwood will not lose at all.

Taking a step back, it is worthwhile to get free renovation and decoration of the restaurant.

"If agreed, I will gather all the shop owners on the old street to sign a contract in three days. As for the renovation work, it will start within a week after the contract is signed, which may cause a period of operating losses. We will also compensate for this."

Antoine said, his confident attitude impressed Greenwood. You know, just a few months ago, Antoine was still a guy who stayed at home and looked decadent.

"You have really changed a lot, Antoine. Maybe Elaine will feel relieved if she knows about it."

Greenwood nodded slightly.

"I used to be immersed in memories of the past, but people always have to look forward, right?"

Smiling, Antoine replied.
