The Founder of the Great Financial Family

Chapter 39

He definitely came to leave the gold coins here. Or else he would have just left as soon as he heard the ridiculous storage fee, 

And there was only one Banco in this territory. 

Then its worth trying to be audacious here too,

Ajusshi, its not like we dig the ground and do business here, but we still have to pay for some labour costs. And I already gave you a big discount from 10%, right? Its already a lot, 

Carl still looked unwilling. 

Whatever, lets go with 3% its normally 3%, 6% is ridiculous, 

To be exact, the 3% storage fee also felt like too much, so most people bargained with Bancos goldsmiths to cut down the gold coin storage fee. 

So what is the 6% storage fee in this rural area? 

However, this boy working at the shop wasnt easily allowing it. 

There arent any other goldsmiths in this fief, so youll have to go to another fief to get a low storage fee, but since everything is real around here, I dont know how much theyll charge for the storage fee somewhere else. Plus, theres no knowing whether they would be affiliated with the Lyon Guild like we are, 

How could this young boy have the guts to talk with the Captain of the Hound Mercenaries like that? 

Hes barely learned to walk yet, so where did he learn to talk like that?

Only then was Captain Carl able to understand his men who had chewed their tongue and warned him before visiting the Banco. 

Captain, thats not it. The little one there is so toxic! Why else would they have charged us so much?

Sett is right. The little guy is pretty bold.

Normally, kids like that piss themselves making eye contact with us, but he didnt even flinch. Boss, why dont you just guard it for a few days, and we can leave it someplace else after a few days. Its only a few days, after all. Nothing will happen,

His men had repeatedly emphasised be careful of the boy who was working at the store..

He was indeed tough like a goblin.

If only I had a subspace pocket where I could store the gold coins separately, 

If he had such a thing, then he wouldnt have had to come to this Banco in the first place. It would have been enough to keep the gold in the subspace pocket without paying the storage fee. 

But even if you can find someone who sells them, the price isnt easy,

It wasnt a commonly found item, so it was treated like a treasure, and because it was a treasure, it was even more challenging to obtain since people were less willing to sell one even if they had one. The prince was also astronomically high.

Alright, lets make it 5 percent. 5% is still me giving in a lot,

For him, 5% wasnt a price he was willing to pay at all, but there was no other choice right now. 

5 percent?

If this had been a normal transaction, Rockefeller would have offered him a 3 percent storage fee from the beginning, and Carl, who would have received the quote, would have bargained about 2 percent or 1 percent because it was a waste of money to just accept 3 percent as a storage fee. 

Well, 5% is still good business, but when youre doing business with your guts, you have to stick by it.

I cant do that. I told you before, right? Its supposed to be 10 percent, but I gave you a big discount and will give it to you at 6 percent. Its hard for me too since I have to be conscious about the owner, 

Carter, who had been trimming the gold coins inside the store, smiled helplessly. 

Where on earth did he learn things like that?

Captain Carl, who had been fighting with Rockefeller for a while, reluctantly accepted Rockefellers proposal. 

Since he didnt know much about the shop owner, he was worried that Carl would be charged more for the storage fee than what had been offered if he came out to the front. 

Fine, Im not happy with it, but lets do that. But youre not lying, are you? 

Lie? How could I lie to someone as tough as you? 

Carl thought of the subordinates he would be meeting later with a sick look on his face. 

I complained so much about them getting ripped off, but if I say I paid 6% as the gold storage fee, then it would be a real laugh, 

Instead, theres a condition, 

Rockefeller tilted his head towards those words, 

Condition? What is it?

This deal, lets keep it between us. Ill pay the 6 percent storage fee, so if anyone comes and asks, I only paid 3 percent. Since I have a reputation as well, 

Alright, but Ajusshi, you cant go around anywhere talking about it either, 

Dont worry about it. Ill be taking this incident to my grave. Just make sure that if those rough-looking guys come and ask for confirmation, tell them you traded at 3% thats enough."
