Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 536

[Chapter 533 Small Business]

Zhou Xingxing didn’t place an order to entrust David’s Wanshiwu to do his homework for him.

First, he realized that if he gave his homework to someone else to do, he would have one less excuse to find Teacher He.

Second, the Wanshiwu’s fee was too expensive.

“Wow! So expensive? You might as well rob it!”

“Wrong! It’s more profitable than robbing!”

“Didn’t you say that you opened this company just for fun and making money is not the most important thing?”

“Making money is indeed not the main thing, but it can’t be without making money.”

After chatting with Zhou Xingxing for a few words and deciding on the style of the company’s signboard and business card with Cheng Le’er, a group of people directly found a restaurant nearby and solved the dinner. There were

several beautiful women around the two men, which was quite eye-catching. Although Zhou Xingxing knew that he was just a by-product, he also felt very cool. He felt refreshed after eating a meal, and it was as refreshing as it could be.

In addition, things were going well at school recently. The only thing that was not going well was that he still had no clue about the case he was responsible for.

Zhou Xingxing continued to lurk in Edinburgh Middle School to look for clues. David’s Wanshiwu finally opened for business after printing a stack of business cards and hanging up the sign.

“Do you want to hire an assistant or secretary?”

“Of course I have to. I have already sent out the recruitment advertisement. I will work part-time for a few days during this period.” Cheng Le’er slapped the newspaper in his hand on the desk and pointed to the advertisement he had posted.

The front-page headline was quite eye-catching.

“I originally wanted to run it for a month, but my dad said that only one week would be enough. One month is too much or too little.”

“The old man is right. With the habits of Hong Kong people, running an advertisement for a month in a row will indeed make people feel disgusted.” Hong Kong is not a large place, but both the number of newspapers and the sales of newspapers are very amazing. Almost everyone in Hong Kong has the habit of reading newspapers, and even everyone will subscribe to several newspapers.

In this case, a front-page advertisement for a week in a row can basically radiate the entire Hong Kong.

Running it for a month in a row is indeed meaningless.

David unfolded the newspaper and took a look. In addition to the advertisement introducing the Wanshiwu, there was also a recruitment advertisement attached: Wanshiwu recruits an assistant and receptionist, salary and benefits are negotiable.

The address and contact number were attached. Since it was the company phone number, the contact time was limited. Don’t call this number outside this time period, and no one will answer it.

“It doesn’t look very reliable.”

David, the boss, thinks this strange company is unreliable, not to mention ordinary people. It is estimated that most people who see this advertisement have similar thoughts, thinking it is a boring prank of some rich young man.

In fact, Cheng Le’er also thinks that this company is more like a joke, but her original intention is not to make the Wanshiwu bigger and stronger, just to find a reason to spend a long time with David.

Just like now, she said that there may be many people coming to the company for interviews in the future. As the boss, David should not run around recently and stay in the company until the only staff member is determined.

“It’s better to leave this matter to you, right?”

“You are the big boss, of course it is up to you to decide!”

The two were discussing the interview when a man with a very conspicuous nose walked in.

Because there are only two people in the company at present, when David and Cheng Le’er were talking, the office door was not closed so that they could see outside.

So when Jack came in, he quickly found the owner.

“Congratulations, congratulations, good luck to the opening.”

David stood up and said a few polite words: “Congratulations, I borrow your good wishes.” Looking back, he found that Alan, a very popular local singer, was also there. While placing the flower basket at the door, he was also looking at the flower basket next to it.

The flower basket was sent by Cheng Le’er’s father Cheng Yuntao. Considering that Jack and Alan had pursued Le’er in the past, they must know who Cheng Yuntao is.

Sure enough, Alan had a strange expression on his face when he saw the flower basket, but after so many years, he didn’t keep struggling. He quickly put on a smile and congratulated David.

David was his savior. He had to come to support the company’s opening no matter what, even though he was in a special situation now and there were always a lot of people following him wherever he went.

In addition to being a celebrity, Alan’s appearance has attracted the attention of people from other companies on the same floor.

“I’m sorry, I can’t stay too long.”

“It’s okay.”

The fact that Allen came here proved that he was a grateful person. After chatting for a few words, Allen said goodbye to everyone and left.

“Alan is very busy. I took some time to come here on the way to the show today.” Although they usually mocked and stabbed each other, Jack would still stand up for Allen at this time and help Allen explain a few words.

“I understand that celebrities basically don’t have much private time.” David looked at Jack. This guy didn’t mean to leave. Could it be that he had business to take care of?

“Last time I told you that I hope you can help me get some amulets…”

“Oh, wait a moment for this matter.”

David turned around and walked into the office, then sat down at the desk and opened the drawer on the side. Using the cover of the desk, he took out a few stones that had been prepared in advance.

Alchemy was activated!

The faint light flashed and disappeared. When David took these stones to the table, they had turned into several pendants.

There were crosses, pentagrams, jade Buddhas and jade Guanyin, and a small sword.

There were all kinds of shapes, and they were all brought to Jack.

“Which shape do you like?”

“Shape?” Jack looked at the pile of pendants and was about to ask what effects these amulets had, but he heard this? “Just choose the shape?”

“Yes, just choose the one you like.”

After Jack had chosen, he could infuse the holy light into it to make it a truly powerful amulet, otherwise it would be just a pendant.

“…”

Jack looked at the pendants in front of him and asked David directly: “Can I take all of them?”

“Okay, but the price is not cheap, and the functions of these pendants are the same. Are you sure you want all of them?”

David was so frank that Jack was even more embarrassed to change his words.

“I want all of them. As long as they are effective, the price is not a problem. Preparing more can also be just in case.”

“Okay, wait a moment.”

David raised his hand lightly, and several pendants suddenly floated into the air in front of Jack and Cheng Le’er, slowly flying above David’s palm.

As David’s palm released a ball of golden light, wrapping the pendants in it, Jack, who was sitting opposite him, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and the sound was so loud that it seemed to spread throughout the entire floor.

In fact, it was because both of them were so shocked by this magical scene that they dared not speak, so the sound was obvious.

After a few seconds, the golden light dissipated, and the pendants were still suspended in the air.

But unlike before, these pendants seemed to have undergone special changes.

Jack felt that the cross was full of holy breath, while the jade Buddha had a burning feeling, the jade Guanyin was warm and peaceful, and the pentagram array was mysterious.

The sharpest one was the small sword, which was dazzling at a glance.

Didn’t they say that the effects of these pendants are the same?

“You take care of my business so much, I can’t cheat you. These amulets can protect you from harm by evil spirits, and have some other effects.”

The cross restrains dark creatures, the jade Buddha targets ghosts, the jade Guanyin can protect you from being hurt by evil spirits, and the pentagram array can teleport you to a safe place when your life is in danger.

“As for this little sword, it contains the purest and most refined holy light. If you encounter a particularly powerful evil creature, you can use this little sword to ensure that no zombie or evil ghost can withstand a sword.”

“So powerful?”

“It is so powerful, but this amulet is not like the other ones. It can protect you when you hang it on your body. It will only work if you recite the formula actively.”

Jack played with the little sword in his hand and found that the strange feeling he had before was indeed gone. At this time, it looked like an ordinary pendant: “What is the formula?”

“As long as you hold this sword, point it at the enemy, and shout ‘Holy light, this enemy is worth a fight!’ It will be activated.”

“Like this?”

“Yes.”

David watched Jack put away several amulets one by one, and after hanging the jade Guanyin around his neck, the deal was settled.

“You don’t need to ask me to pay the bill, just tell Le’er directly.”

Cheng Le’er was overjoyed when he heard this. David even gave her the financial power, which showed that he was getting closer and closer to her, and he was one step closer to defeating Sofia.

As for the price, an amulet cost 10,000 pounds, but no one thought David sold it too expensive.

As long as this thing is as powerful as David said, people would rush to buy it even if it was 100,000 pounds, not to mention 100,000 pounds.

As long as Jack continues to run around the world and adventure, he will soon find that these amulets are more powerful than he thought, which is equivalent to buying several lives with tens of thousands of pounds. It is simply a bloody profit.

“By the way.” Jack, who didn’t know that he had gained several more lives for no reason

, was not very satisfied. He set his sights on David’s magical pocket again: “Will you sell that treasure that can hold so many things?” “You can sell it, but it’s not something that can be bought with money.” David didn’t keep it a secret and directly said that if you want this thing, it’s not impossible, but the price is not something that can be solved by simply paying money.

“Is that so!” Jack was not surprised. Such a powerful treasure is not an exaggeration to call it a priceless treasure. It is definitely not something that can be bought with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Even if he can take out hundreds of millions of pounds, it is still a question whether the other party is willing to sell it. It must be exchanged for some rare treasure or something more important.

Thinking of this, he stopped thinking about it and just carried his luggage or drove to transport his belongings!

After the business was over, Jack and David chatted for a while and said goodbye to them.

He was leaving Hong Kong again, and he didn’t know where he would go next.

“See you again if we are lucky!”
