0177: Hope You Don't Know What's Good Or Bad.
The sun was shining brightly, and the streets of the imperial capital were full of people.
Reed Bran walked out of a house in the Purple Orchid District wearing a fine attire.
He stayed at the house of a mistress all night yesterday. After all, he is young and just likes to fool around.
Moreover, he has more than one mistress, which is a routine operation for noble young masters.
Reed Bran is the youngest son of Earl Bran, who is mainly in charge of the family spring bag business.
Most of the shops selling sachets on No. 1 Avenue of the Imperial City have the shadow of the Bran family.
At the same time, they are also the sachet suppliers of the imperial family, and the flowers used in many festivals are also responsible for the Bran family.
One can imagine how carefree this youngest son is.
"nice weather today."
Reed went to the street and stretched himself, with a happy expression on his face.
"gone."
He turned around and greeted his mistress, then walked slowly into the carriage parked by the butler beside the street.
In the carriage, Reed's butler had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Reed walking in, he eased his nervousness a little, took out a bottle of perfume, and said, "Young master, look."
"What is this?" Reed was in a good mood at the moment, and he took the bottle and looked at it nonchalantly.
When he touched the porcelain with his hand, he froze for a moment, and praised, "This pottery is quite beautiful.
Reed is already considered a noble young master who has seen the world, but he has never seen such a good pottery vase.
Clay vases are smooth and flawless, many times better than many pottery.
This is what Reid Bran is thinking now.
"It's perfume. A new store opened yesterday on No. 1 Avenue of the Imperial Capital, which specializes in selling this kind of thing called perfume."
The housekeeper looked serious; he explained, "The appearance of this pottery has attracted many people.
He is Reid's right-hand man, and most of the sachet business is followed up by the housekeeper.
Seeing the butler's expression, Reed probably guessed that it was not a good thing, and then thought of the word perfume, frowning and opened the cork.
He put the perfume under his nose and smelled it, his frown deepened.
Reed sniffed it several times, and asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?"
It was the first time for the noble young master to smell such a nice fragrance, which was even better than the sachets sold by his family.
It should be said that the sachet is not worth mentioning in front of the perfume, and Reid looked at the sachet on his waist with a serious face.
"Young master, the shop that sells perfume is called Qianxiang Pavilion. The shop used to belong to the young lady of Duke Yuwu's family, but now it sells perfume.
The steward paused for a while to organize the language, and continued, "Yesterday, many nobles were attracted to..."
He explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail once, and when he mentioned that the business of the perfume shop was good, his frown could kill a fly.
If the sachet business is getting worse and worse, as a housekeeper, he will be criticized.
"It's over, there is Qianxiang Pavilion..."
Reed's face, which was still happy in the morning, was covered with haze at the moment.
He understands that the family's sachet business will plummet from today, and there is no comparison between sachets and perfumes.
"Master, I heard that the perfume shop is opened by a viscount named Qiao Ji." The housekeeper had already sent someone to ask about Qianxiang Pavilion.
"season?"
Reed pressed his eyes slightly, raised his head after thinking for a moment, and said, "He is a powerful nobleman appointed by the emperor.
He has been addicted to wine and sex some time ago, but he has heard a lot about this elf sub-human in the wine market.
Especially the two incidents of saving Yuwu Eve and the royal princess, it can be said that they stole the limelight.
"Yes, young master, it is the Viscount."
The butler nodded again and again, and added, "Thousand Fragrance Pavilion is not only the property of Viscount Qiao Ji, the eldest lady of Duke Yuwu's family is also involved."
"Eve is also involved? It's probably a 50-50 split. Qiao Ji contributes to the perfume formula, and Eve contributes to the location of the store."
Reed had also heard about the story of the Duke's daughter spending 30,000 gold coins to buy slaves, and thought it was possible for her to give a storefront.
Otherwise, this eldest lady would not buy a slave with 30,000 gold coins, and she was the lowest-ranked subhuman slave.
"No, young master, that Lord Viscount takes 90% of the share, and Duke Yuwu's family takes 10%." The butler immediately shook his head.
"?" Reid was stunned.
He recovered for a while, and said with a gloomy face, "What's wrong with Eve? That Qiao Ji is so nice?"
He felt that this Qiao Ji was just born as a slave, even if he became a powerful nobleman now, his humble background would not be changed.
And, the girl I have liked for a long time is actually so kind to a slave?
Reed Bran clenched his fists tightly, remembering that Eve didn't have to look at him every time, the anger in his heart burned even bigger.
"Master, what should we do now?" The butler was very concerned about the sachet business.
The turnover in the store yesterday was very bleak. The store was originally crowded with only a few hundred people yesterday, and everyone was waiting to see the perfume.
. " Reid rubbed his chin with one hand and fell into thought, his frown never relaxed.
He raised his head after a while, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "We cooperate with them to develop perfume, so that we can also make money.
"Master, what if the Viscount is unwilling?"
The steward said the pros and cons in a deep voice, "And there is still 10% of the Yuwu family's share, so I'm afraid it will not go well."
"He is just a viscount who has just been rewarded, so what if he is a noble with real power? There must not be many knights under him.
Reed smiled even more, and snorted, "...not to mention the black and white gloves under his hands."
He didn't think that a person who had just become a powerful nobleman could have much armed force, let alone a first-class viscount.
Forming knights is the most difficult thing, and there is a limit on the number. Six hundred knights are nothing to fear for the first-class earl family.
"That's right, he has only become a nobleman for a few days, and he certainly doesn't dare to compete with our Bran family."
The housekeeper's worried mood instantly eased, and then he asked, "Master, what about Duke Yuwu's house?"
"As for the Yuwu family..."
Reed tapped the table with his index finger, and said calmly, "It's good to give them another 20%. If this is the case, it will be 30%. They will definitely be satisfied."
You can't offend Earl Bran's family for a viscount, right? There are very few enmities between nobles and nobles.
The noble young master began to imagine that if he completely controlled the perfume business, then Eve might look at him differently.
"Master, where is the Viscount?" The housekeeper probably had a bottom line in his mind (about the money).
"He, it's pretty good to leave him 10% by then." Reed said disdainfully.
I hope that the new nobleman named Qiao Ji will not be ignorant.
Once I have 60% of the profits in the perfume industry, maybe I can compete for the heir to the earl title.
Reid thought so boldly in his heart.
He is now overwhelmed by his brothers in the family. Judging from his current situation, he has no chance to be the heir to the earl title.
"What the young master said is true." The housekeeper thought it made sense.
He thought to himself that someone from the earl's family would come to him, a viscount would definitely be scared.
With a relaxed expression, Reed instructed with a smile, "Send an invitation letter to this person named Qiao Ji, saying that we will have a banquet at Pulan Restaurant tomorrow afternoon."
Pulan Restaurant is one of the restaurants owned by the Bran family, and it is also the largest restaurant in the family.
"Yes, the port steward also laughed.
