Chapter 248

The early morning of the old street always comes early.

The first day of the cloudy month (July) is named harvest day, just as the summer solstice represents the beginning of summer, and the harvest day also represents the end of midsummer. The hot summer has gradually disappeared, and the crops in the farmland have gradually entered the harvest period.

The day is no longer painful, but the night is cooler. White Greenwood, the owner of Greenwood restaurant, gets up from bed, opens the window and breathes in the fresh morning air.

Although the old streets are not as prosperous as the downtown area of prest, and even can be called dilapidated, there is only one good thing, that is, the air quality of the old streets is quite good.

Greenwood is fifty-seven years old, and the chef of the restaurant has been handed over to his son for a long time. He should have enjoyed his leisure time. However, Greenwood, like other ordinary working people, can never relax. Every day, he has to inspect every corner of the restaurant before it opens, and again after it closes.

Today, just after inspecting the kitchen, he felt very satisfied. As soon as he came to the hall, he saw his son talking with a man who was slightly familiar with his eyes.

"... provide corresponding support and help..."

the man was talking, while Greenwood's son nodded.

"What's the matter?"

Greenwood frowned and stepped forward to intervene in the conversation.

"Why, isn't this Antoine? When did you come back?"

He quickly recognized that the man turned out to be Antoine, who had disappeared for a long time. Greenwood's impression of Antoine was still a few months ago. If it wasn't for years of staying in the old street, the neighborhood would have known each other so well that he would not be able to compare Antoine with the well-dressed and energetic man in front of him To connect.

"Mr. Greenwood, I came back to Prester yesterday. It happened that I had a plan which I was explaining to Philip."

Antoine also had a little more confidence in his words, and his whole aura was totally new.

Philip, Greenwood's son, is 33 years old. When he saw his father coming, he stepped back and handed over the negotiation to his father.

"Explain the plan."

Greenwood didn't know how to write, and he didn't read Antoine's plan.

"We are going to buy the shops around Antoine's Alchemy workshop and rebuild a bigger one. At the same time, we will transform the whole old street, including this restaurant."

In the middle of Antoine's words, Greenwood's eyes widened.

"What? reform? We don't need renovation here, and we don't have the money and time! "

Greenwood is in a hurry. You know, in the past, Piram's Alchemy workshop once said something similar to itself. They want to buy most of the shops in the old street and use them to transform them into alchemy workshops. Because the economy here is not very developed, and it is a certain distance from the downtown area of prest, the land price is not expensive, so many people are calculating here.

No matter what other people think, this restaurant is not only a means of making a living for Greenwood. It is inherited from Greenwood's father, and then it will be passed on to his son. It will never be able to get away with a few money.

"Dad, don't worry..."

phillipla calmed down her excited father.

"Antoine didn't mean that."

Hearing his son's words, Greenwood was more confused.

"What does that mean? Will it give us free renovation?"

He asked, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Although Antoine seems to have made some money recently, he is not so rich, is he?

However, Philip nodded.

"That's what Mr. Antoine said. Crescent college will pay for the renovation of all the buildings in the plan. We don't have to pay for them."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Greenwood doesn't understand. He has been in business for so many years. He knows that no one will do the loss making business. What's the situation now?

"Cough, to be exact, we will invest in this restaurant while providing decoration and renovation services. You will get sufficient funds, but at the same time, we need to make some changes in the operation, such as adding some menus."

Antoine explained that compared with the cost of direct purchase of land, this investment method is more economical and can dispel the concerns of these businesses. Moreover, if they really buy these shops, they will have to pay extra money to hire people to operate them, and the cost will increase a lot.

The land of the kingdom belongs to the king, while the nobles are the agents of management. To be exact, the landowners of the old streets only have the right to use the land. In this case, they simply use cheaper and more moderate means.

Antoine explained to them again that although old Greenwood was illiterate, he let Philip read the book and understand the words in the plan. With the explanation, he also understood the plan."If it is completed, the old street will become a new scenic spot in plast, the shops on this street will welcome a continuous stream of tourists, and your business will become better."

Antoine imitates Lena's tone and gives his father and son a pie road.

"That's good."

Greenwood touched his chin. Crescent Cola has been selling well since it came into the market. The sales volume in his restaurant is almost equal to the sum of other drinks. Fools can see the sales potential of this new beverage, and the project invested by crescent college behind it seems to have an unlimited future.

The decline of the old street is also caused by the gradual prosperity of the downtown area of prest and the surging of people towards the downtown area. The impact of the flow of people on business is well known. If this new moon alchemy workshop can really bring more tourists, Greenwood will not lose money at all.

Ten thousand steps back, the restaurant gets free renovation and decoration is also profitable.

"If you agree, I will gather all the shop owners on the old street to sign a contract in three days. As for the renovation work, it will start within one week after the contract is signed, which may bring about a period of business losses. We will also compensate for this."

Antoine said that Greenwood was impressed by his confident attitude. Just a few months ago, Antoine was a decadent guy.

"You've really changed a lot, Antoine. Maybe Elaine will be glad to know."

Greenwood nodded slightly.

"I used to be immersed in the memories of the past, but people always have to look forward, don't they?"

Smiling, Antoine replied.
