"Damn, forget it." Shane then sat back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief, and his eldest sister probably didn't have the ability of Sophia.
"Have you made an appointment with her on when to meet?" Claire asked.
"Not yet, but you have arrived in the royal capital. I will send someone to inform you. The results will be available soon."
After saying this, Shane hesitated a little, "Otherwise, if we stop cooperating with her, it feels like we will be swallowed up without leaving any bones."
Claire was a bit dumbfounded, "We are just business partners, not the heirs of their family, so what are we afraid of? And the fact that her second brother survived shows that she is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. A simple cooperation should be fine."
"That's right. The businesses she has cooperated with over the years have all been doing well. I haven't heard of anything happening."
Shane stood up, "Then I will find someone to inform her. You can rest here for a while."
Shane was very efficient. Before the afternoon arrived, several carriages appeared outside the store and brought in MSG and shredded squid. They were placed on the counter in a short while. At the same time, new brightly colored advertisements were also posted outside. The focus of the promotion was MSG.
This time, there is no need to go out to advertise in newspapers. The reputation of this store has already been established. People who come in to buy Iodized Salt will naturally be interested in these new MSG. There is no need to deliberately advertise in newspapers like before.
Shane returned to the store less than three hours after leaving the house.
"How's it going? When are you going to discuss business?"
Shane looked a little surprised, "She said tonight."
"So urgent?" Claire was also a little surprised.
"I also feel strange. Does she have some conspiracy?" Shane asked suspiciously.
"You'll know once you get there. Where is the location?"
"Inner City's famous restaurant seems to be a property under her name. It's almost time. Let's pack up and set off."
Claire rode Shane's carriage and arrived at the agreed-upon location ten minutes early. It was a restaurant on a busy street. The exterior was very high-end and the interior was Magic Lamp in warm colors.
"You wait here first, I'll go in and see where the reserved location is." Shane said.
Claire also nodded and began to look at the surrounding environment casually. The surroundings were brightly lit and filled with people who came out to have fun and spend the night. It made him feel like he had returned to his previous life. The royal capital was indeed not on the same level as his current Nafu City. There were no street lights in his current Nafu City.
Claire Turned his head and saw a young man in shabby clothes huddled in the alleyway. There was a broken bowl in front of him. He was lying on the ground and did not scream or beg. He just looked at the passers-by with an incomprehensible look.
The passers-by who passed by him showed disgust and disgust after seeing it, and then hid aside. Occasionally, a few kind-hearted ladies would give him some change, but they never saw him say thank you.
"There are still beggars in the capital." Claire said to himself, but he soon figured out that there were beggars in big cities like New York in his previous life, let alone in another world.
At this time Shane also came back and said with a smile, "This restaurant will not entertain guests tonight, Lady Sophia specially prepared it for us."
Claire raised his eyebrows, grand!
I followed Shane in and found a seat near the window. After ordering a few dishes at random, I started waiting.
But the waiting time was not too long. Before ten minutes, a figure came in at the door of the restaurant.
"You guys wait outside, I'll go in and discuss some business." Sophia said to the guards beside him.
"Yes! Madam!" The guards immediately dispersed and became vigilant around the restaurant.
After the other party walked in, Claire finally saw what the beautiful woman in Shane's mouth looked like.
She is tall and wears a tight-fitting backless black dress. The skirt is bifurcated at the crotch. Every time she takes a step forward, she can see two pairs of big white legs disappearing and appearing. If this outfit is worn by others, it would feel vulgar, but on her body it looks very graceful. It is not vulgar at all but looks much more noble.
Her appearance is also extremely charming. Although Claire has seen many beauties in her previous life, few can compare with her. Her beauty is not like superficial beauty, but beauty deep in her bones. Any movement can stir up a man's heartstrings.
Claire pursed her lips and thought to herself: No wonder Shane thinks so highly of her.
Sophia came over, and Claire and Shane also stood up politely.
Shane gave an aristocratic salute and said, "Hello, madam, I am the third son of Count Ansell. My father often praises you and says that if we could have one-tenth of your business acumen, he would be able to hand over the family business to us with confidence."
Sophia nodded slightly and said, "Say hello to your father for me."
Then he moved his hand to Claire, "This is the viscount of the Griffin Family, Claire! He is also our supplier of Iodized Salt, accounting for 70% of the shares of our store."
Claire nodded towards the other party as a greeting.
Sophia smiled and said, "So that's it. You are really young and promising. Let's sit down and talk."
Sophia's voice was extremely touching, like a pair of hands gently caressing her chest. When paired with her charming expression, the lethality was doubled. Claire finally understood why the nobles in the royal capital were so fascinated by her.
"It's just a pink skull." Claire said secretly, trying not to be influenced by the other party..
After sitting down, Sophia held his chin and looked at Claire carefully, and said softly, "So you are the person in charge behind those Iodized Salt. I thought it was this little guy."
Claire smiled slightly, "It's just some small business, not as good as you, madam."
"Buying doctors in the capital to promote you, and then creating panic to sell Iodized Salt for hundreds of Gold Coins. This was all your idea, right?" Sophia looked straight at Claire.
Shane couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He did this kind of thing very secretly. How could he be discovered? Then he silently glanced at Claire next to him to see his reaction.
Claire's expression remained as calm as water, neither admitting nor denying.
"Aren't we here to discuss cooperation?"
Hearing Claire's words, Sophia showed a charming smile and still looked directly at Claire: "Okay, let's talk business. What is the production cost of your Iodized Salt?"
Claire also looked at each other without fear, and said, "Three Gold Coins, the more expensive they are, the higher the cost will be."
"I also own a salt-making factory, and I still understand the cost of adding iodine."
"Then a dozen Copper Coins."
"This is tens of thousands of times the profit. You have such a big appetite."
"If you don't earn money, you are a fool." Claire said calmly.
Shane didn't dare to interrupt, and could only deal with the food in front of him silently.
Sophia looked at Claire, his eyes flashing, and his body leaned forward again, with his chest pressed to the table, "Did you come up with the exclusive service for the royal family?"
"As a noble, you must be loyal to your King and the royal family. It is normal for you to donate your belongings to the royal family."
The expression on Sophia's face became even more charming. He looked at Claire and licked his lips gently, "I'm attracted to you."
