34. Let’s do the final work.
France and Kazar crumpled their faces.
“No, why are you so obsessed with the France Corporation?”
“Right. I don’t know if it’s a cool name, but it’s like a cheap top.”
Are you ignoring all the corporations that exist on Earth right now? No, but that’s not important right now.
“Kuhm. That’s not the problem now. It is important here that Friedara absorbs the top itself.”
France expressed her doubts.
“How are you going to absorb it? It’s safe to say that Frida is already the biggest brand in the empire. It is not easy to absorb such a place.”
This is the theory. It is impossible to absorb the name Frieda itself from a fledgling guild. However, that was the assumption that it was the original Frida.
“Frida will crumble from within. Because I can no longer handle clothing.”
“Crumbling from the inside out? You don’t think that Frieda will collapse just because the workers were stolen, right?”
I laughed. Andrea is absolutely irreplaceable.
“Do you remember the craftsman you saw then?”
“Yes. Why is he?”
“That friend is the key to making Frida’s clothes. Without him, it would be impossible to make clothes at the level we were used to.”
Without Andrea, who designs and finishes all the clothes, it’s like an orchestra without a conductor. At first, it will be maintained by bringing in new workers, but it will soon collapse.
“If only the craftsman is taken away, everything will be solved?”
“Right.”
“Frida doesn’t just deal with clothes. Handicrafts, jewels, trinkets. What are you going to do with these three?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Because I have a plan.”
If the power of the France Corporation becomes stronger, Frida’s jewelry store and jewelry store will also come over to us. Because it treats you much better.
If the work is the same, but the treatment is much better, why not go there?
I clapped my hands and continued.
“I will tell you about the detailed plan once the clothing business is in progress. Let’s start by solving the problem right in front of us.”
France and Kazar nodded.
“First, the princess and I go to Seldas. Khazar. You are waiting patiently.”
“Yes.”
Me and Frances stood up.
“Then let’s go see Seldas.”
* * *
Me and Frances arrived at the bar looking for Seldas. I was immediately guided by the receptionist and was able to come in to meet Seldas.
“Did you come because of what I asked you to do last time?”
“Exactly.”
Seldas placed it on the desk with his legs crossed. That kind of attitude in front of customers, it’s still unreasonable.
“Everything I said back then is ready. We looked at all the buildings in the dukedom that could be purchased cheaply, and with a large floating population, we also prepared a suitable place to start a business.”
Apart from not being cheap, he is competent. Seldas lowered his legs and rested his arms on his desk.
“So, I want you to pay the bill now. It costs a lot of money and manpower from this side.”
“It will be so even if you don’t say it. How much do you pay?”
“300 Million won using the Dark Guild. 800 Million used to purchase the building. A total of 1.1 Billion.”
Oh, the amount is bigger than I thought. Will Frances be able to handle this? Except for the amount allocated by the duchy, I hadn’t heard of any support from the duke.
Frances looked down at Seldas, shaking his head.
“I will be your business partner in the future, will you reduce the cost of using manpower?”
Seldas’ reaction was cold.
“Hey, the ignorant princess. 300 Million was a huge cut. It is impossible to use the empire’s largest dark guild at this price.”
Well, the Dark Guild of Seldas is used by great nobles. Even the prince could use it, he said. I whispered to Frances. She said with a nod of her head.
“In the future, we will gradually grow our business. Then there will be a lot of things to use here.”
“Growing your business? You haven’t even succeeded in your first business yet, have you? You’re already eating barren potatoes.”
What does it mean to eat raw potatoes? Is it similar to drinking kimchi soup?
“Is this project bound to succeed? Frieda will fall, and we will take her place.”
Seldas chuckled. It was an obvious laugh.
“That’s funny. I didn’t expect you to be this ignorant of the world.”
It’s not that I don’t understand Seldas’ reaction. I don’t know if Eden Descartes came and said something like that, but who would believe it if a princess who hadn’t learned anything and had no surname came and said this? I recited to Frances.
“I think we are investing this time. If you succeed, I will even pay you a bonus.”
“… Reward?”
“We will give you 10% of the profits we get.”
“To invest only that much? It might close within a month of starting?”
Negotiation is not easy. Somehow, I should have brought the result of Andrea’s work first. Said Frances.
“Okay. Then write a new contract.”
“Contract?”
“Yes. If we fail, we’ll give you double the amount you originally owed.”
Uh, I didn’t ask you to negotiate like that. If you act alone like this, it will be difficult. Seeing through the mask, Seldas’s eyes were savage.
“… Do you want me to believe it now? No matter how much Princess Descartes is like that, 2.2 Billion is not the name of anyone’s dog.”
But Frances did not back down.
“She is as confident as she is. Can I show you the results later if you want?”
Seldas’s shallow eyes could be seen through the mask. She seemed troubled.
“Okay. I’ve revealed my identity, so I’ll trust you this time. I will reduce the 1.1 Billion to 900 million. If you fail instead, you’ll have to keep that promise. If you don’t want to turn the empire’s largest dark guild into an enemy.”
Frances giggled and nodded her head.
“Okay. With this, the negotiation is confirmed. And, there’s something else I’d like to ask of you.”
“Please? What else is this time?”
“Get me a coachman with a heavy mouth and a wagon that can carry about 100 people. The deadline is tomorrow.”
“… Then we will use our manpower again.”
“I think of this as an investment.”
Haa, Seldas sighed.
“Yes, I have 1.8 Billion right in front of me, so I can do this much. Where can I send the wagon?”
Frances started writing something down on her paper with her pen. It was the border entrance to the Frida Garment Factory we went to.
“Here. The time is tomorrow morning. And send a wagon to this address as well.”
“… Are you sure you want to go here?”
“You know what we’re trying to do with this, right?”
“You are doing something outrageous.”
Seldas smiled and nodded.
“Okay. The wagon is ready. I hope you don’t have to give us 1.8 Billion as a bonus.”
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen. The business we started will make us want to continue our relationship.”
Seldas smiled again. Frances looked down at Seldas, shaking her head as if she had nothing to do with it. One corner of Seldas’s mouth went up as if he liked that attitude.
“Okay. It is a contract.”
Frances wrote the number 900 million on a blank check, put it on the table, and then he got up and left the room without answering. Her me too followed her.
Leaving the bar like that, Frances said.
“How was it? Did I do well?”
Frances made a triumphant face, raising one corner of his mouth. I have to commend you here. It was a little difficult, but the results were good…….
“Yes. Well done. I was a little surprised by his sudden action, but sometimes it is necessary to come out so boldly.”
Frances nodded in satisfaction. Sometimes when I see him like this, he’s like a pet squirrel, so it’s kind of cute.
“Then, I will take you to the duke’s residence.”
“Is it okay not to meet Kazar?”
“I will meet you alone. You can’t leave too many empty seats.”
France’s expression suddenly darkened. Why, for what reason?
“You’re going to be alone with that girl?”
“Don’t worry. Would you betray your master when you have a business plan in place?”
“… I don’t mean that. Let’s go back to the duke’s mansion for now.”
So we got back on the carriage we came in and went back to the duke’s residence. Even after entering the mansion, none of the attendants greeted Francee. He just looked away and avoided it.
‘There’s not much time left for this type of treatment.’
If this business succeeds, the eyes will change, and no one will be able to ignore Frances again. That’s because I started the business to do that in the first place.
“Welcome!”
The only attendant who greeted Frances was Helena.
“Yes.”
“Ring the bell if you want anything!”
Frances nodded and went into the room. Her me went in after her. And he immediately opened the window.
“Are you going back right away?”
“Yes.”
“Yes. I’ll be waiting for you.”
I nodded and jumped over the window frame and over the bars. And headed to Kazar’s house.
I arrived and knocked on the door, and Kazar came out in less than a minute.
“Are you here already?”
“Yes. Let’s go inside and talk.”
I sat down on the chair and immediately opened my mouth.
“I have a schedule. As scheduled, the time is tomorrow morning. The location is to meet at the border leading to the factory.”
“Uh, how are you going to get there?”
“A carriage will come in front of this house.”
“Do you really want to come here?”
“Then you can’t ask them to come to another remote place where you have to move or to the duke’s house.”
“That’s right.”
Every time I see him, why do I think he’s crazy? Where did Kazar Uplane, who was rational and cool in the game, go? ….
“Anyway. Things will go like this, don’t sleep today, stay awake. I’m coming here with the princess.”
Kazar nodded.
“Then I’ll make preparations.”
“Is there much to prepare?”
“Mmm. It’s nothing special, but just in case.”
“Yes. Then let’s go.”
After the necessary conversation, I returned to the duke’s residence, climbed over the window frame, and jumped into the window. Frances was sitting at a table reviewing math.
“You are here.”
“Yes.”
“So, what am I supposed to do now?”
“You need to prepare a speech.”
“Speech?”
Frances tilted her head.
“What speech?”
“This is a speech to imprint on them the princess.”
Workers should recognize Frances as the savior who rescued them from the vicious workplace. That way, their loyalty will increase and they will trust us.
“Since the president of the France Corporation is the princess, you should think of the speech.”
“Let me think?”
“From now on, you will be running a huge merchant company, and you will be doing business. You have to get used to this.”
Frances tapped her table, shaking her head.
“Hmm. I’ve never done anything like that…….”
I said with a smile.
“Don’t worry. Kazar and I will make the stage for you.”
From noble mtl dot com
Originally, the directing and the stage are important for everything. As the situation is the situation, they will be able to accept it easily. Francesca nodded her head.
“Yes, I will try. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it well.”
“You can do well. Because if it doesn’t work out, I will make it happen.”
Tomorrow morning.
The first history of France Corporation, a company only for France, will begin.
