Volume 5 Chapter 100 - Not only Magic Sedans (1/2)
This store that sold Frestech Brand Magic Sedans wasn’t in Wimbledon City, but rather it was outside. It was five kilometers away from the closest south gate.
The reason why it chose such a remote place was because Wimbledon City was just too tight. Each inch of land was worth its weight in gold, so to open a store in Wimbledon City, other than having connections, it required a large amount of money to be invested.
Because there needed to be space to demonstrate the various Magic Sedans, there was a large amount of space required. So after Belil thought about it, he could only choose to open a store this far away from Wimbledon City, building a shop in this remote place.
Compared to opening a shop in Wimbledon City, although they needed to build all the facilities and needed to furnish them one by one, the benefit was starting from nothing, so everything could be decided by Belil.
After two months of preparation, this store called the “Belil Magic Car Store” was opened.
In the beginning, the store’s business was poor. Only with Belil’s relationship to Prince Frank, there were a few nobles that came because of the advertisement he gave in their small circle.
But when the nobles of Wimbledon City found the benefits of the Magic Sedans, it didn’t take long before Magic Sedans became very popular among the nobles.
Even the cheapest Magic Sedan cost one thousand and five hundred gold coins, but there was no lack of demand still.
In the first month of business, this store had only sold seven Magic Sedans, but in the second month, it reached a shocking total of six hundred and thirty eight Magic Sedans. This was close to a hundred times that of the first month!
Moreover, this figure was growing at a shocking rate. The people who purchased Magic Sedans weren’t just limited to Wimbledon City, the nobles from other places in the Candra Empire received the news and they all came to order Magic Sedans.
According to Belil’s estimate, in this month, they might even sell over a thousand Magic Sedans!
These Magic Sedans were shipped directly from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and ignoring the transport expenses, Belil could earn at least three hundred gold coins from each one.
So far, the Belil Magic Car Store had sold over a thousand units, so that meant that Belil in these three months had already earned three hundred thousand gold coins!
Every time he saw the financial report, Belil would be filled with joy at his wise decision back then.
If he didn’t agree to Xu Yi’s proposal and came to set up this store, how could he earn three hundred thousand in just three months?
Earning more money meant that he was happier each day and his smile was wide.
But when Russell and Martin arrived in this store, Belil’s smile froze when he saw them before revealing an even brighter smile. He stopped the sales lady from going over and personally came over.
He could tell with a single glance that this middle aged man with greying hair seemed calm and noble and he released an aura of high status. He definitely wasn’t some normal noble of Wimbledon City.
“This customer, do you want to buy a Magic Sedan? Please take a look, there are many Magic Sedans of different designs that you can choose from. But for this honoured customer, I personally recommend the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s newest E320 Long Magic Sedan. Look, it has a very elegant appearance, it’s suited to your status. Moreover, the colour is very dark, which shows your calm makings……”
Russell was interested as he listened to Belil’s introduction. He was looking over the pure black Magic Sedan in the hall while also looking over Belil.
He could tell that this young man was of noble birth, he wasn’t just a normal staff member of this store.
If his guess wasn’t wrong, this young man was very likely the boss of this store, Baron Belil who came from the Lampuri Kingdom.
He had heard that he had some relationship with Prince Frank. After Russell looked him over, he found that he looked very similar to Prince Frank’s concubine.
It was said that Prince Frank’s concubine came from the Lampuri Kingdom, so this rumour might be true.
After patiently listening to him describe the various merits of the Magic Sedan, Russell was silent for a bit before suddenly asking, “This Magic Sedan is indeed quite good, but there is a very serious problem.”
Belil was surprised, “What problem?”
“This car is close to the road, so if there are any bumps in the road, wouldn’t it be easy for it to shake? There’s no problem here in the city, but if I want to go to the south of the empire where there are rocks everywhere, wouldn’t this car have no way of running?”
“This…..” Belil was a bit helpless, “This customer, I must admit that the problem you’re worried about is real. There’s no other way, this Magic Sedan can only run on smooth roads, it isn’t good on any other surfaces. There aren’t enough roads in the Candra Empire right now, so it is indeed limited, but if you want to drive to the main cities on roads, there aren’t any problems at all. I can guarantee that this is at least ten times better than riding in normal horse carriages!”
“Un…..” Russell nodded, hinting for Belil to open the door. He looked around and found that the inside of the Magic Sedan was at a much higher level compared to the Magic Sedan ambassador Hakanin drove him in. Moreover, it was much bigger and looked much better.
With Belil’s suggestion, he sat down to test it and found that it was much more comfortable than riding in horse carriages.
“Alright, how much is this Magic Sedan?” Russell asked Belil.
Belil was surprised before happily saying, “Because this Magic Sedan is the newest model, it is the most luxurious. The outside is naturally also very beautiful…..”
“Tell me, how much is it?” Russell waved his hand to cut off Belil.
Belil stretched out four fingers, “Since you are the first customer to buy this E320 Long Model, I’ll give you a discount. Four thousand gold coins.”
Martin on the side opened his eyes wide as he said in shock, “Four thousand is a preferential price? What a joke!”
