209 The closed beta testing is over, we’ll say goodbye for now
Lola’s face was cold, and she gritted her teeth.
A big family in the Uptown of shadu didn’t even have the right to speak now. They were extremely humble.
By the time Laura recovered from her anger, link and mina had already started eating.
Lola snorted coldly and simply did not look at the two. She lowered her head and ate with Anna.
On their table was the head chef’s innovative dish in may, so it was served for the two family bosses to try.
However, Laura and Anna didn’t care about the latest food at the moment, and they felt like they were eating wax.
After a long time, a table in the distance finished eating. Mina wiped the corners of her mouth and took out a mirror to touch up her makeup.
“hall master lin, if i say that there’s a second event on our date list, i’m afraid you won’t be able to focus even if you go. Since you’re so focused on the information, I’ll let you off this time.”
As mina stood up, she glanced at Newman’s eyes in the distance. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She curled her lips slightly and placed one hand on the chest of her red dress. She then slowly lowered her waist and moved closer to Link’s ear. Her fiery lips were only a small distance away from Link’s ear, as if she was going to kiss him.
Link’s hair stood on end, and he froze.
He could clearly feel Mina’s breath on his neck, and the hot fragrance was like a pair of invisible hands caressing his skin.
“Master Lin, I’ll be leaving now. I won’t hold you up from your date.”
Mina stood up and left. Before she left, she glanced at Laura in the distance, her eyes full of provocation.
after mina left, laura, who had been so anxious before, became much more restrained.
link immediately opened the leather bag and took out the information inside.
The documents were indeed related to the secret alliance. They explained everything in detail, from the structure of the Alliance to the composition of the sects under them. In addition, there was a lot of information about the core members of the secret alliance, even revealing that the core of the secret alliance was a vampire.
Mina’s information is pretty good. Other than some gang secrets, she has read through everything else. As long as we verify the authenticity of the information, we can make arrangements with this information. Link’s eyes glowed. If he were to buy this information in the underground black market, it would probably cost more than 100000.
Seeing that link was still sitting at the table with his head buried in the documents in his hands, Laura pulled Anna’s hand and gave her a look.
anna looked conflicted, but she shook her head and said, ” ” he chose to come today, which means the thing in the file is very important to him. let’s not disturb him now and wait for him to finish reading it. ”
Lola’s bottom, which had just been suspended in the air, sat down again, pouted, and said, ” “We haven’t even started dating yet, and you’re already siding with the outside.”
“Even if it’s someone else, they can’t go up and disturb us at this time,” Anna said innocently.
After reading all the information, link heaved a sigh.
“Phew, with this information, I can make arrangements in advance.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant voice came from behind him.
“Clan Master Lin, did you like the dinner today?”
Link quickly closed the file and looked up. He saw Laura smiling.
yes, the food is very appetizing. As expected of the Newman family, a giant in the agricultural and food industry.
Lola glanced at Link’s cutlery. He had only taken a sip of the lemon water, and the plate in front of him was basically clean. He had only cut a small piece of steak, and he had only taken a few bites of the other things. If one was not familiar with the head chef’s style of plating, one would not be able to tell that these dishes had been used.
This was the legendary “very appetizing” Yingluo
A few black lines appeared on Lola’s forehead. She took a deep breath and asked, ” “I don’t know if you have time now, but I have something to discuss with you.”
Link stuffed all the information into a leather bag and said nonchalantly,”You want to talk about the little pig, right?”
Laura bent over and dusted the seat that mina had just sat on with her hand, as if she was disgusted.
“we, the newman family, are very sincere!” he said seriously after he sat down.
Link used a thin thread to seal the kraft paper bag. He looked up at Laura and said,”It’s not impossible to cooperate with the Newman family, but I’ll need your family to provide the breeding factory and slaughterhouse for the small fragrant pigs. At the same time, we’ll provide you with a fixed amount every month.”
Lola frowned and felt that this matter was not simple. She quickly asked, ” “How should we divide the profits of our cooperation?”
“82. I’ll take 80%, and you take 20%.”
Lola sucked in a breath of cold air. It was as if a huge stone had been thrown into her calm mind, causing layers of ripples.
clan leader Lin, you’re not joking, are you? at 82 per cent, our Newman family still has to provide a breeding factory and slaughterhouse. What’s the point of earning then? ”
link leaned forward slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, what you’re making a profit from is that you’ll be able to maintain the Newman family’s position as the best in the food and breeding industry in Shatu. I can guarantee that I’ll only supply the little fragrant pigs to your family exclusively. That’s my sincerity.
Laura’s chest was filled with anger, but she suppressed it after hearing Link’s words.
Link leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression. “Although I’ve only been in shadu for a short time, I’m still quite familiar with the Newman family’s situation. You guys haven’t had a good time recently. Although on the surface, you still maintain the title of the largest family in breeding and dining in Shandu, if this continues, I believe that your market share will soon be devoured by the families that catch up later. At that time, you will completely lose your monopoly.”
Lola’s expression was serious. Link’s words were like a knife, stabbing straight into her heart and into her weakest spot.
The reason why she was in such a hurry to get the little pig was to save the Newman family’s gradually weakening influence.
Feng congee, a core member of the Feng family in the Uptown, had accidentally discovered a divine pot excavated from a relic of the old era when he went out this year. This pot could turn something rotten into something magical. When the most ordinary ingredients were put in it, the food made would be improved in both appearance and taste.
With this divine wok, the Feng family built a restaurant called ‘food for heaven’.
In just a few months, the diners who used to frequent the Newman family’s high-end restaurant had all turned to the embrace of ‘gluttony for the heavens’, causing the sales of high-end restaurants to decline in the past six months.
In the past six months, the clan had thought of many ways.
They hired better head chefs, selected better ingredients, and improved the quality of food and beverage service.
however, all these were useless. the number of customers still decreased every month, and many return customers of the Uptown never came back after going to ‘food for heaven’, which was the most terrifying thing.
There were only so many rich people in Shandu, and the high-end restaurants were all supported by these returning customers.
With the return customer gone, it was no different from taking drastic measures.
The Newman family still held 80% of the high-end market, but only they knew that their sales were dropping every month. Some of the more romantic side stores had not even opened for a week.
There were no customers, but the operating costs were always there.
...
It was the wisest move to close their stores in this situation, but once they did, the market would realize that the Newman family’s stores were starting to close on a large scale. At that time, they would lose their market share and expand even more unscrupulously.
After moving into the Qilin Hall, link could command more men, so he sent people to investigate the Newman family’s situation. Coupled with the fact that he owned the glorious hotel, which was also a gastronomic industry, he had heard some news from the industry and knew that the Newman family’s position was in danger.
“I’m confident in the quality of the little fragrant pig. I don’t think it’ll be a problem for us to regain the Newman family’s market share with this. Moreover, he could use hunger marketing after the ration. the returning customers of the Uptown are not short of money. if the food and beverage is linked to status, they will only be like ducks.”
” when this batch of little pigs comes of age, i will be the first to try it in my own glorious hotel. if it proves to be feasible at that time, and you want to join, the share will not be 82, but 91. ”
Lola’s brows furrowed slightly, and her mind was in a mess.
“Give me some time. I need to discuss this with my family. The main issue is that the Newman family has never signed a contract with such a percentage.”
The corners of Link’s mouth curled up slightly, carrying a silent sneer.
After all, they were a proud family of the upper city. They had always been the dominant party and had never signed such an ‘humiliating’ treaty.
okay, but I have to remind you, Miss Laura, you must pay attention to the time. You know that the reproduction and growth time of little fragrant pigs is different from that of ordinary pigs. You may hear the news of a new dish in a few days.
Said link as he stood up with the document.
When he turned around, he saw Anna waiting at the table in the distance. He nodded to her.
...
With the documents in his hands, Fred drove back to the Qilin Hall.
Link didn’t care about the outcome of the Newman family’s discussion. He was more concerned about the closed beta testing that would end after tonight.
That’s right.
the closed beta testing would last for five days, which meant that they had 15 days in the game. today was the last day.
After midnight, all players would be forced to go offline and wait for the official open beta test to begin in one and a half months.
It was 9:30 p.m. Now, he could still bid farewell to Piao Rou and Bandit Liang if he rushed back.
Link returned to the Qilin Hall and learned from the third brother that the bandit leader was giving Fu his final instructions.
Wind-chasing Wolf decided to take his last shift. At 11 O ‘clock at night, he would patrol the street with his men and then return to Qilin Hall to say his last farewell.
Link went straight to the courtyard where Ah Fu was.
just as she walked to the door, she heard the bandit liang person carefully explaining through the window.
“The heart of the business street will always be the Grand Jasper Hotel and the glorious hotel. The entire business street must focus on these two places.”
I know that I’m talking a bit too much and a bit complicated, so I’ll take advantage of these two days to write my business ideas into a book. It records all the problems I encountered when I started a business. If you encounter the same problem, you can find the answer in this book. “also, i heard that the boss is developing a new food and beverage brand with little fragrant pig. because i was in the food and beverage industry on planet aqua blue, i know quite a bit about this industry. the book also gave some suggestions. brother fu, when the time comes, you can recommend yourself to the boss and take over the business of the little fragrant pig brand.”
Fu looked nervous. I haven’t even figured out the business district yet. I’m afraid it’s not very good to take over the little pig.
Dao Liang Ren patted Ah Fu’s shoulder and said with a certain expression,”Trust me, if you can’t make up your mind, open the book. As long as you follow the operation written in my book, I guarantee that there won’t be any problems! I think brother Fu doesn’t want to see boss working alone and wants to share his burden!”
Fu nodded with certainty. Sharing the boss’s burden was his biggest goal.
” alright, i’ll accept the book then. as for the little pig brand’s operation, i’ll apply for it later to share the boss’s burden! ”
......
link didn’t knock on the door to ruin the atmosphere. he returned to his study and sent a message to fu.
He told him to bring thief Liang Ren and Zhui Feng to the study room.
In the study, link leaned back on the yellow Rosewood Chair and entered the forum to check on the closed beta players.
Because the connection was disconnected at midnight, almost all the closed beta players were online at the moment. They either made use of the last two hours to do missions or found an inconspicuous place to flood the forum.
On the wasteland forum, the most discussed topic was what would happen to the planet after ‘half a year’.
In just 15 days of gaming, the players had witnessed the NPCs ‘intense attitude towards the players.
And no matter where he was, he could feel the wheels of time rolling forward, unstoppable.
The NPCs they were now acquainted with and the reputation and favorability they had worked so hard for would definitely give them mixed feelings if they were to come online ‘half a year later’ during the open beta and find out that things were still the same but people had changed. The feeling of having something but losing it would definitely make them feel a mix of emotions.
other than that, link also paid special attention to the posts about the [gunfight in the inn] instance dungeon.
On the 15th day, there was finally a level 10 player who spent money to buy a gun and successfully completed the [gunfight at the hotel] mission. However, looking at the evaluation in the screenshot, this player had only received a ‘normal’ evaluation, and the reward was a white grade weapon with a slightly higher damage value than a weapon of the same level.
However, during this process, he coincidentally broke through painter John’s door and met this legendary NPC.
in the post, the player named ‘luo mu’ explained the process of discovering the legendary npc without holding back.
a legendary npc had appeared in a low-level dungeon. this news was like a bomb. more than an hour before the unforgettable night was announced, it instantly took over the high ground of the wasteland forum. even players from the other two novice planets came to visit.
for closed beta players, the highest level was only level 10. it was already rare to see an elite npc, and the chance to meet a legendary npc was even rarer than winning five million.
P.S.: I just came back from my hometown today and drove 400 kilometers. I started writing as soon as I came back and finally finished before 12 o ‘clock. Please recommend me and please give me monthly votes.
