The wizard's road begins with the simulator

Chapter 30 ‘Azure Jewelry Store’ and ‘Rent Collection’ (please follow up)

"Master, all investigations have been completed. All internal personnel related to this matter have been dealt with. The master has also sent a letter.

After listening to William's words, Chen Mu gently rubbed his eyebrows.

"Have the rent arrears been recovered?"

"After taking back some of it, some shops run by big noble families said they would wait a little longer."

"Well, I understand."

Chen Mu spoke softly to express his understanding.

It has to be said that the Golden Lion Market that his father, Earl Arthur, left him in charge of was a mess.

Although everything may seem fine on the surface, it is not.

The people below are greedy and greedy.

Even the rent of many shops in the market has been in arrears for a long time.

These big families obviously don't lack this little gold coin, but they still default on the rent, which makes Chen Mu a little impatient now.

Chen Mu didn't know whether Earl Golden Lion didn't understand what was going on here or if he wanted to test him intentionally, but he had been busy these days.

As for the matter of greed for money, Chen Mu has almost dealt with it these days.

After the investigation, Chen Mu realized that Earl Arthur could not be entirely blamed for the greed of the subordinates, because Earl Arthur rarely audited accounts.

You must know that his father, Earl Arthur, is responsible for the entire Far East Territory, and Far East City is only a part of the Far East Territory.

There are more than a dozen cities in the entire Far East Territory.

Naturally, Earl Arthur could not take care of them all by himself, so his father promoted some territorial citizens to help him manage them.

Mous has always been in charge of the accounts of the Golden Lion Market. Mous is greedy, so you can imagine the people below.

It's not that Earl Arthur has no vision, but that Mousse did his best in his early years.

But once a person is in a high position, he naturally cannot control himself, not to mention that some big families in the market are also involved in this matter.

"Can you be more direct and use force?"

Chen Mu asked William intentionally.

Hearing this, William laughed ferociously: "Of course you can, otherwise we will really be treated as weak persimmons."

In fact, it's not that Chen Mu doesn't want to directly promote these stores, but that the existence of these stores has a meaning.

So Chen Mu thought for a while and said:

"Simply using force will not work. These shops are opened by some noble families, and their shops are necessary to exist. If they are all cleaned up, the Golden Lion Market will no longer be the same.

Of course, we can't use any force at all, otherwise, as you said, we will really be regarded as weak persimmons. "

It is not impossible to simply use the family's weapons to push directly, but it is not enough.

It's not worth breaking up with these families because of some rent, Chen Mu naturally knows this.

Therefore, Chen Mu's plan is to combine strength and softness.

"Then let's start from here!"

Chen Mu pointed his finger at a name on the paper in front of him and said.

When William heard Chen Mu's words, he looked at the position of Chen Mu's finger. There were five words written on it - Azure Jewelry Store.

When Chen Mu and William came to Zhanlan Jewelry Store, there were already many people here.

Most of them are noble ladies, wearing gorgeous robes and headdresses, and expensive jewelry and decorations.

There are no young and handsome nobles like Chen Mu.

Azure Jewelry is a store opened by the Blue Eagle family in the Golden Lion Market.

The person in charge is a jewelry merchant from the Blue Eagle family.

This jewelry store can be said to be the largest jewelry store in the Golden Lion Market.

Some jewelry, metal crafts and valuables are sold here.

The interior of the jewelry store has a large window.

The counter faces outwards with goods on display, most of which are finely crafted jewelry and expensive materials.

It's hard to imagine that such a large jewelry store would default on such a small rent.

"Call your managers here and tell them that the people from the Golden Lion family are here to discuss something."

Chen Mu casually stopped an apprentice and spoke.

The apprentice who was stopped by Chen Mu was not dissatisfied. He glanced at Chen Mu and William behind Chen Mu and respectfully went to find the steward.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing businessman's clothing was brought to Chen Mu by his apprentice.

"Shall we go inside and talk?"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, the merchant nodded quickly and took Chen Mu and William to the jewelry room.

When he arrived at the jewelry room, Chen Mu subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment.

It is said to be a jewelry room, but it is actually a place where jewelry is appraised.

There were some identification instruments randomly placed on the table, some of which were unfamiliar to Chen Mu.

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I don't care what the Golden Lion Market was like before. Since I am in charge here now, it will naturally follow my rules."

Chen Mu didn't hesitate and said straight to the point. While speaking, he handed a badge to the person in the Blue Eagle family in front of him.

Naturally, the person in charge did not neglect it. He quickly took the badge and looked it up and down before handing it back to Chen Mu.

This badge is actually a token to verify identity, which means that Chen Mu is a member of the Golden Lion family.

"Don't worry, sir, we will follow your rules."

The person in charge of the jewelry store said, his tone full of agreement.

So cooperative? Chen Mu was a little surprised.

"Okay, let's pay the rent arrears first."

Chen Mu stared at the middle-aged man in front of him and said.

"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely pay it, but the family's gold coins haven't arrived yet, can you wait a few more months?"

The middle-aged man spoke decisively, but anyone could hear the delay in his tone.

Upon hearing this, William, who was standing behind Chen Mu, immediately prepared to take a step forward, but was stopped by Chen Mu gently reaching out.

In fact, he doesn't want to take action if the problem can be solved by just talking.

"Turn it over now. It's not like we haven't waited. We have been waiting for a year and two months."

Chen Mu said, there was no anger in his tone, just calmness.

The fact is that as Chen Mu said, this blue jewelry store has not paid rent for a year and two months.

Normally, rent for large stores in Golden Lion Market is paid once a month.

"this"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, the middle-aged man's face became a little ugly, but it only took a moment, and he quickly adjusted back.

"Sir, can you?"

"No, pay it now, otherwise you won't be able to leave this jewelry store."

Chen Mu interrupted the middle-aged man's words, and then looked around.

He didn't believe that such a big jewelry store couldn't afford such a small amount of rent.

The middle-aged man naturally heard the threat in Chen Mu's mouth.

Then his face suddenly became a little stiff, and even the smile that had been hanging on his face turned into a dry smile.

In fact, it's not that the Blue Eagle family doesn't want to have friends, it's that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

These arrears of rent actually ended up going into his own pocket.

"William, smash it!"

Chen Mu's expression instantly became impatient, he waved his hand and said.

I'm so shameless to you!

"No, no, no, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Seeing that William behind Chen Mu actually picked up the knight's sword and was about to take action, the middle-aged man quickly suppressed a sentence.

If the store really gets smashed, the family will have to peel off his skin.
