Chapter 892 It“s Not Just Luck
In long-distance trade before, the most troublesome thing for businessmen had been the huge amount of money they needed to carry with them. They had often encountered fierce robbers and ended up losing both their lives and money.
Then Buffett Banks appeared, with branches all over the continent. Their ingenious system turned conspicuous coins into a deposit slip. One didn’t even need a deposit slip if one was a regular customer. Deposit information was updated in a timely manner and deposits could be drawn directly from any of the branches.
This had completely solved the security issue of huge amounts of money. Although depositors had to pay a service fee, this fee was negligible compared to the high cost of escorting magicians and knights. Merchants loved Buffett Banks because their money was very safe there.
In just a few decades, a banking empire that covered the entire continent and even had several branches on dragon islands emerged.
Because there was no cash to rob and looted goods were difficult to sell, the robbers on the roads disappeared gradually. This was another contribution from the Buffett Banks.
It could be said that Buffett Banks could be found everywhere on the continent, and was closely connected with the general public after launching their individual deposit and loan system.
Being rejected by such a large company would be an immeasurable loss for anyone.
Scheer’s rejection of Bart shocked everyone present.
No one wanted to get on the bad side of Buffet Banks, since even such a big company as Celtic Transportation had been rejected.
The girls at Buffett Banks all had outstanding looks, but from today on, no one dared to act inappropriately towards them.
Christy felt tears well in her eyes, gazing at Scheer gratefully.
Scheer had turned down a huge deposit of 50,000,000 copper coins and a partnership with a giant in the freight industry just to tell everyone to leave the girls at Buffett’s Bank alone.
Abraham regarded Scheer with approval. The new star in the business world impressed him. He had met her several times at the Palace Banquet in Rodu. When he last saw her four or five years ago, she was only a 14-year-old girl. Now she had become the leader of the Buffett family, smart as before, and more authoritative.
Abraham frowned at Bart. He had always despised people like him. Christy was his partner, and he didn’t like to see her being taken advantage of by Bart.
Bart’s mood grew worse when he saw Abraham’s darkened face. It seemed that his wish today couldn’t be fulfilled. He looked at Christy again, his eyes full of venom. The woman made him lose face. He didn’t want to stay here to be a joke, so he immediately said to Abraham, “Duke Abraham, I’m sorry, but I don’t feel very well. I need to go see a doctor. Nice meeting you.”
Abraham nodded slightly and said nothing. After all, this was Chaos City, not Rodu.
Bart turned around and left quickly, like a dog that had lost a fight.
Scheer never gave another glance in Bart’s direction. She turned to face Abraham and smiled. “I haven’t seen you in a long while, Duke Abraham. I heard you’ve been eating at Mamy Restaurant lately. Mag’s cooking is amazing, right?”
“Have you been there too?” Abraham asked, surprised. “Yes, Mag is an amazing chef. It was for him that I came here. I’ve never left Rodu before.”
Scheer nodded with a smile. “Yes. I only go there when I am free because I have to queue early to eat there. Mag won’t reserve a seat for me.”
“Even I have to wait in the line, but the food there is well worth the wait, and I have a lot of time, so I don’t really mind waiting.” There was nothing better to lighten Abraham’s mood than food.
The rich businessmen of Chao City stood awkwardly aside, marveling at Scheer’s ability to change the topic, and making a mental note to visit Mamy Restaurant.
Duke Abraham had always been a mysterious man. He had come all the way from Rodu to Chaos City because of a restaurant. It seemed he didn’t like picking up girls, so the merchants here decided to find out more about Mamy Restaurant so that they had something to talk about with him.
“Mamy Restaurant is such a fascinating place. I’m glad I went there and met Duke Abraham tonight.” Christy smiled as she watched Scheer and Abraham talking happily. Her business deal with Bart had taken an interesting turn. If not for Abraham, she might have been in deep trouble.
Christy found herself thinking about the man who had put his big hand on his daughter’s head, his gentle smile and words. What had he done to make everyone love his food so much? She decided to try that stinky tofu someday.
“Christy, right?”
So deep in thought was Christy that she never saw Scheer until she was right in front of her.
“Y-yes,” Christy said, giving her a bow hastily. She looked at Scheer with respect and gratitude. “Yes, Miss Christy. I’m Christy.”
With a smile on her face, Scheer reached out her hand to Christy, and said, “Congratulations, you have done what many of Buffett Banks’ employees have failed to do for decades. You have gotten the first deposit from Duke Abraham.”
Christy blushed and hurriedly extended both her hands and shook Scheer’s hand. “I was just lucky. My meeting with Duke Abraham was accidental. I guess I should thank Mamy Restaurant.”
“It was not just luck. You earned it. Duke Abraham has told me so. Mamy Restaurant is really a good place. I remember you just got promoted to manager less than three months ago, right?”
Christy nodded. “Yes.”
“Then stay for a full year. It’s a very good position. You will learn a lot. I was in that position for 10 years. Oh, by the way, I want to add a new rule. If any employee is violated by any customer, the management of the branch will be dismissed. What do you think?”
Christy was taken by surprise. A happy smile showed on her face immediately. “I like this new rule.”
Scheer nodded. “Good. It’s settled then.”
