Chapter 86: The way of a Prodigal Son (Part 11)

“Oh? Since Mr. Lewis has asked this question, I must, instead, ask you why you want to purchase this shop’s name and everything inside?” Dyer Gideon curiously inquired.

Finn Lewis laughed and said, rather self-importantly: “Nothing special, I just love the taste of the pastries from this place. I can tell that the pastries and tea snacks here contain a sense of antiquity, representing traditional Flame Nation’s culture! Put plainly, what we’re eating isn’t just tea snacks, it’s a culture. I know that pastry-making methods like these definitely involve secret recipes.”

Having finished his speech, Finn paused and sat up straight to look at Dyer again: “As for me, I have no other hobbies. My passion is similar to the people of Southland Country: I love making everything my own. The difference is, I’m keen on promoting things of Flame Nation, particularly these ancient techniques that are on the brink of being forgotten by history. So when I heard that you plan on selling this place, and apparently no one planned to buy, I decided not to let these secret recipes vanish. Hence, I resolved to buy it and perpetuate our ancient culture.”

Finn’s words caused Prince and Daniel Pan’s mouths to twitch at the corner. They thought, “Mr. Finn are you sure? You didn’t even know this shop existed until an hour ago, and you’ve never been here. Is it valid to be so passionate

Finn’s speech moved Dyer Gideon greatly. His ideals were those Dyer upheld in his youth! He had to compromise after so many years because life is cruel. But Dyer didn’t expect to meet a young man with such fervor. He wasn’t worried about being conned, for he hadn’t spoken of these matters with any outsider. It was impossible that Finn, a stranger, heard about it elsewhere.

But now, Finn had spoken up, and with so much conviction. This proved the young man did indeed share his views and passions!

“Mr. Lewis! You’ve moved me! Therefore, I’ll give you my bottom price for this shop: 80 million! This includes the property rights to this 376-square meter, two-story building, the shop name, and the secret recipes for our pastries. I’ll sell everything to you,” Dyer Gideon ultimately declared with loud confidence.contemporary romance

“Done! I like straightforward people! In that case, I won’t bargain! 80 million! Deal!” Finn immediately replied with a laugh, then slapped his hand to express agreement.

Prince and Daniel Pan were utterly stupefied, thinking, ‘Where’s Finn’s integrity? Promoting Flame Nation’s traditional culture … Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?” Yet, the completely nonsensical speech had managed to touch Dyer’s heart, pushed the price straight up to 80 million!

This price was not expensive. By the shop’s area, it was just about 210,000 per square meter. For such a standalone shop located in the district’s largest business hub, 210,000 per square meter was by no means expensive. It was a commercial shop, not a residential property! This was pretty much the bottom price!

Prince and Daniel Pan were shocked, their facial expressions numbed: “Bloody hell, Mr. Finn, do you know how awesome you’re being? Bloody hell…” The two looked at each other, realizing Finn’s capabilities.

“Impressive!” Dyer Gideon also laughed heartily, then suggested: “Should we draft a contract now?”

“It’s late today, and many procedures aren’t convenient. This is what we’ll do. You give me a bank account number, and I’ll have someone transfer 20 million as a deposit first. We’ll handle the rest of the procedures tomorrow,” Finn suggested with a casual wave of his hand.

Dyer Gideon was stunned. No procedures, and immediately transfer a quarter of the purchase price? Isn’t that just asking to be defrauded? Despite his internal surprise, Dyer revealed nothing visually. He quickly disclosed his bank account details. As happy as Dyer was, Finn was even happier. Finn promptly made a call, and several minutes later, Dyer received a notification on his phone. His bank account balance was 20 million wealthier. He was genuinely shocked by Finn’s boldness.

This young man has quite a heart. Their first meeting was merely a chat, and he had just directly transferred a whopping 20 million into his account. Dyer hadn’t even given Finn a receipt.

“Young man, well done. Your actions are impressive!” Dyer said admiringly despite being many years Finn’s senior. He added, “Your style is to my liking, and that’s important.

Hearing Dyer’s words, Finn laughed delightfully inside. He found the feeling of successful negotiations to be intoxicating, thinking, “This is the result of having asymmetric information!” Nonetheless, outside of mission-related matters, requesting any other information required spending significant credits. Otherwise, Finn could earn a respectable fortune solely by selling such information.

“Brother, don’t flatter me. I found our conversation enjoyable. As for the money, it’s really nothing special,” Finn said grandiosely.

“Ha, ha. It seems the young man is wealthy after all. Deal, young man! If you’re pleased, I’m even more pleased. I’ll have all the employees come here now and announce that from now on, the shop is yours. I won’t come here tomorrow; we’ll head straight to the property agency to handle the paperwork. However, I must issue a receipt. We must be clear about the details,” Dyer replied with a belly laugh.

“Agreed,” Finn agreed readily with a nod.

Dyer gave Finn a receipt, then called over the waitstaff. In a short while, over a dozen people gathered next to the second-floor bar. These were all the shop’s employees, including four pastry chefs, two tea gurus, a store manager, a

supervisor, and the remaining eight waitstaff, with four each on the first and second floors. Another eight waitstaff were off duty.

“I wanted to introduce you all to Liu Fei. I’ve transferred ownership of the shop to Mr. Finn starting now, so he’ll be your boss,” announced Dyer. He then introduced the store manager, supervisor, and the four pastry chefs to Finn.

“Hello boss,” the staff greeted together; Finn waved his hand and said: “Hello to all. Although the boss has changed, our business strategy won’t change for the time being. Your positions won’t be shifted, and starting today, everyone’s salary will be increased by 50%.”

“Wow,” the staff were initially stunned, then they clapped loudly in excitement. Everyone was a little nervous about having a new boss, but no one could have expected the new boss to raise salaries immediately. Typically, companies increase salaries by 10% or 20%, but this boss had directly increased wages by 50% immediately on his ascension! This was really generous.. Everyone was naturally excited!
