Chapter 178 Witnessing Old Man Luo’s Industry
"Just remember what I said." Old man Luo started fiddling with his teacup again.
"Then Mina will take her leave. Bring the finished clothes back in three days. How much would you like to charge? I'd like to ask Mr. Luo to decide." Mina bowed politely and left.
When he reached the door, he turned back and glanced at Xia Yulin.
"Granddaughter, from now on, all embroidery products should be labeled to avoid copyright disputes in the future."
"My daughter, please help Xuanxuan with the plan. The child is still too young to understand the dangers of the world."
Charlotte understood what her father meant. He wanted to mark Xuanxuan's work. If Mina or someone else copied Xuanxuan's work, it would be hard to explain.
There were no patents at that time. All the copyrights were proved by symbols.
"I know how to design it. Don't worry, Daddy. No one dares to imitate Xuanxuan's work."
After all, she ordered the patterns online.
There was no such advanced software in that era.
Even if someone imitates her, she is not afraid. She can just update it at any time. She is not afraid of what they will do.
"Mr. Luo, the shop has been bought. Let the young lady and the son-in-law go take a look. Let them decide how to set it up."
George came back at this time. Really fast. Money makes things easier.
"Okay then. After we finish looking at the shops, we'll have dinner. Go and ask Mr. Sasha to come with you, and don't let the others follow."
Old Luo meant to invite Mr. Sasha to dinner, so the followers should stay at home. He also wanted to have something to say to Mr. Sasha.
Naza was in a hurry to take care of Taro, so she couldn't say she would follow. Rado and the others were supposed to follow, but Xiaonan stopped them.
Xia Yulin and Xiaonan were watching them at home.
There are more than a dozen black people around Old Man Luo, which is more than enough to protect them.
They drove to the store.
Charlotte saw that the shop next door was full of foreigners coming in.
She looked up and saw the words "Luo's Pawn Shop" written on it.
Situ Jin was also looking at the pawnshop at the same time.
"Don't look at it, these are all our shops. I'll take you there later."
After Old Man Luo said this, they felt that the shop was just an ordinary shop.
The tone was very calm, without any pride in it.
What a huge fortune this old man has!
They entered the newly acquired shop.
There is a spacious square in front.
The storefront is quite bright. On the left is Luo's pawnshop and on the right is a clothing store.
This street is full of various commercial shops.
The location is pretty good.
"Girl, you figure out how to design it, and then let George do it."
"Dad, this shop is in a good location. I think it's about 300 square meters."
"The floor area is three hundred and twenty-five square meters," said George.
"It's a bit of a waste to make a pastry shop. How about this, make three partitions. This side will be a pastry counter, the back will be a coffee shop, and the front will be a milk tea shop. Bring me a pen and paper, I'll draw a picture for you, and you'll understand."
George asked Karnataka to fetch paper and pen.
George was stunned when he saw the interior design drawings.
Charlotte was designed based on the later cake shops, combining coffee shops and milk tea shops.
Every detail is marked with great care.
George handed the blueprint to Old Man Luo.
"My dear, Dad has discovered that you have a talent for design. When I have time, I will introduce you to Mr. Budden from Nanyang. He is a tycoon here. If you show him your design, he will definitely go crazy."
"Dad, are you also running a lumber business?"
"You figured this out? Haha, my girl is really attentive. I'll take you to our lumber shop and lumber warehouse tomorrow. George, finish renovating the shop within three days. I'll pay you in the account."
"Dad, you don't need to bring money. Ah Jin and I will have prepared it when we come. You don't need to invest in Xuanxuan's shop either."
"What's mine is yours. It doesn't matter who invests. Okay, if you have money, invest it. When you run out of money, ask dad for it. Let's go and see how the pawnshop is doing. It's been more than ten years since I left. I wonder if the old friend is still here?"
"Mr. Luo. Qatar has been here the whole time. He heard that you are back and he said he would definitely treat you to a big dinner today to welcome you back."
They moved to the pawn shop.
Seeing the customers constantly coming in and out, you can tell that this pawn shop is well-known in this country.
The hall was filled with foreigners from various countries.
This shop is more than ten times bigger than the pastry shop. The lobby is high-end and grand.
The antique decoration makes the hall look noble and elegant.
There are hundreds of benches out front for people to wait and rest.
On both sides are service desks and trading places.
In good order.
People were talking quietly. No one was making loud noises.
Looking at this scene, Charlotte thought of the stock market trading hall in later generations.
George took Old Man Luo and the others to the lobby at the back.
I saw more than a dozen people standing in two rows to welcome their arrival.
"Dear Luo, you are finally back!" Qatar went forward and hugged old man Luo, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Kata. Qatar! My friend. You've worked hard!"
Luo Laotou was also very excited. But he was not good at hypocrisy. So sincerity would also make your friends come to you.
"Come, let me introduce them to you. This is my daughter Luo Luo. My son-in-law A Jin. My granddaughter Zi Xuan. Also, this is Mr. Sasha from the Western Regions. I hope you can become good friends in the future."
"Welcome to the Luo family. Welcome to Mr. Sasha! Shopkeeper, please have a seat."
After Qatar was polite, he pulled Old Man Luo to the back.
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to put cakes and tea on the table. The waiter also brought a lot of fruits. These fruits were rare things. They were all imported.
But in the eyes of Charlotte and Situ Jin, these were all grown by them.
"Mr. Special Envoy, don't you think these fruits were bought from the Western Regions?"
"The taste is not as good as the ones from the Western Regions." Situ Jin took a bite of the plum. It was so sour that it almost made his teeth fall out.
"It takes at least half a month to transport the fruits from the Western Regions to Southeast Asia. So the fruits are picked when they are half-ripe. The taste is definitely not good."
"It would be great if there was an orchard here. We could save a lot of shipping costs and eat fresh fruits. The price would definitely double." Mr. Sasha regretted not bringing fruit tree seedlings with him.
"If Mr. Sasha wants to plant fruit trees on this land, it's not a difficult task. The people you bring with you are not good enough. No matter how big the business is, it will be ruined in one day."
"The little genius doctor figured it out?" Mr. Sasha was delighted.
"The emperor sent someone to you, so he probably had some selfish motives. The key is that he hired the wrong person. The emperor will regret it too late."
"Only Radu and Kala are mine. I also suspect that the others have bad intentions."
"If we hadn't shown up, your ship would probably have been taken away by them. Who is it? It remains to be seen. If you have a chance when you go back, contact Tarot. This is a breakthrough." Situ Jin said after drinking a sip of tea.
"Mr. Luo has been reminding me. I knew there were spies around. They must be here for the money. Oh! It's not easy to do business. Thinking back to the beginning, how did Mr. Luo get through all the hurdles? I admire you, I admire you!"
"Mr. Sasha, if you want to cooperate with us, how about we catch the turtle in the jar?"
"Whatever you guys think, I will definitely cooperate. It's so annoying. I've been wondering all along what the emperor meant by sending a woman here. What's his purpose?"
"The emperor also has his own selfish motives, you have to understand. You are the royal merchant of the Western Regions. It's all because of the silver."
