Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 17 Here Comes Trouble

?After the brief introduction, Jack got to know the names of his employees in this branch. Then, he thought for a moment and said, "You guys don't need to be stiff in my presence at all. All you need to do is work hard for the grocery store. As long as you guys work hard, there would be subsequent rewards for you."

All of them immediately cheated after they heard that there would be rewards as long as they worked hard.

"As for the changes, for the time being, there will be no changes in the way that the business was operating. If there are any changes that I'd like to make, that'll take a little while longer." Jack said after the staffs calmed down.

After that was done, he went with Daniel to the only office available. In case Daniel was at the headquarters of the grocery store, the one that would be using the office would be the person that was in charge of this branch, Wycliffe.

Now that Jack was here, it was obvious that he would sit on the boss's chair. As soon as Daniel sat down, Jack spoke.

"I've got several grocery stores in the city and am going to start a brand. So, I hope that you'll cooperate with others, I'll introduce them. As for now, there's one that's called George, he'll be delivering some products here later today." As Jack said this, he immediately gave Daniel George's contact information.

"By the way, the supply of the stock and the methods of delivery, is there a problem?" Jack asked.

"Currently, the contract that we had signed for the supplies is about to expire. So, there's a need for the renewal. Then, for the issue of deliveries, we always hire a vehicle with a freezer to do that." Daniel replied.

"Okay, the issue of the contract, there's no need to worry about it. I've already signed a supply contract, so the stock wouldn't go down. Delivery, you can ask George. He's in charge of delivery. And, if there's a problem of lack of enough vehicles, then you can just contact me and I'll get them." Jack nodded and replied.

Daniel was surprised that there was an exclusive car that could he used to transport the grocery products. This would not only reduce the costs, it would also reduce the risks such as the driver running away with the goods or being careless and causing great losses.

After he was done, Jack immediately got out of there together with Daniel as he visited the other branch and the main store. After that, he went and visited the other four stores that he'd just purchased.

He left them with instructions before heading towards yellow street. He was thinking of buying a bigger shop so that he could transfer the current Alfix Grocery Store. This way, there would be no problems about the storage issues.

After arriving at the store, he found both Agnes and Charles. Charles had thoroughly cleaned the store and it looked better. There were a few customers coming in and out of the store as Jack parked the Bentley Continental GT.

Of course, this was a car that was worth millions. As a result, there was a sensation as soon as Jack parked the Bentley outside the store.

Although this wasn't the first time that such an expensive vehicle was coming to yellow street, it was rare to see one, not to mention one that was worth millions.

"Wow, what a handsome guy!"

"I wish I can get a boyfriend like him."

"Hey, stop dreaming. Do you think that you're worth a person like him."

"He does look handsome and is rich. Is he some kind of second generation in the city or from outside?"

"Hey, are you an idiot? Can't you see that the registration number is for Inchoate?"

" Now that you mention it, do you know what that car is?"

"Yes, I saw it on the internet. This is a Bentley Continental GT. It's worth $7,399,999."

"That expensive?"

"Do you think it is a joke?"

"Anyway, what family do you think he's from?"

"Never heard of him before."

"Anyway, what is he doing here in yellow street? And a grocery store at that. There are several big grocery stores at the center of the city."

"What do you know? Maybe he just wants to try how the products in this part of the city taste like."

"I thought that the things in the grocery are the same. It's just that the quality is low in the grocery at this part of the city."

"That's what I meant."

"Who are you fooling? How can a rich person decide to leave better food so that he can come and eat lower quality ones?"

"Have you never seen a rich person eating in a stall by the road?"

"….."

Jack cared none of this as he greeted both Agnes and Charles. According to them, George had left about an hour ago. So, he should be closer to coming back.

Jack nodded and then thought of something. "Where you guys stay, is there a good parking space?" He asked both Charles and Agnes.

Both of them were stunned for a moment. What's the use of a parking lot if they had nothing to park there?

As if noticing their questions, he said, "The Bentley Bentayga Odyssean Edition that I bought are for my employees. As long as it is work related, the cars can be used. So, I was wondering whether there's a parking lot in your area do that you can use the car in traveling."

The two were immediately elated after hearing this. 'The boss treats his employees so well!' They thought to themselves before bringing their minds back to the facts.

"Boss, where I live isn't suitable for the car of that price to be parked there. Not only is the space limited, but there are some people who can damage the car there." Dejected, Charles replied.

"The same here. Although the parking space is there, it's always full. The only place that we can use would be the government parking." Agnes replied.

Jack had already been to George's place the previous night. He could see that there was no place for the car to be parked, that's the reason why he asked the two if they had a place that they could park the car.

After thinking for a moment, he decided. "Can you guys relocate? I can get you an apartment with better conditions so that you can use it as staff's dormitory."

"Y-yes boss. But, won't that be too much? After all, the expenses and the income that we bring in don't match at all. In fact the expenses are higher than the income." Agnes said after some hesitation.

"Don't worry about it. The business may be low now but in the near future, maybe next month, you'll have to work harder. So, I am preparing you for a lot of work." Jack said.

Upon hearing Jack's words, they remembered that he'd told them that he might put them in charge of groceries in two or three streets. That implied that he was going to expand the business.

Furthermore, his action of buying many cars and at the same time having the employees getting the uniforms proved that he was rich and he wasn't going to run such a small store.

After Jack left the store, he immediately headed towards Leviation Agencies. He wanted to look for a good shop that could be used in yellow street. He wanted to get ready for the enterprise.

They were a private one and they could help him get an empty shop in the street. It didn't take long for him to get there.

He headed to the familiar office. There, he found the familiar receptionist. Upon seeing Jack, the lady raised her brows in surprise but calmed down a little while later.

"Great to see you again. How may I help you?" She asked as soon as Jack arrived in front of her and took his seat.

"I want to get another shop. A bigger one, more than five times bigger and it should be located at a place with a parking space. It should also be located at a good place for business." Jack stated.

"I guess you'll have to talk with the manager. I can't deal with that operation." As the lady spoke, she immediately got from behind the counter and led jack towards another office.

There, he found that there was a middle aged woman. She was busy with something on her computer as she didn't even raise her head when she asked the receptionist and Jack to enter.

After about a minute, she raised her head and looked at Jack and the lady.

Seeing that she was paying attention, the lady spoke, "Mr Jack here wants to buy a shop in yellow street…" The lady then went on to describe what Jack needed.

After listening for a while, the woman looked at Jack in surprise as she spoke, "Oh, we do have that shop. It has been a little while since the last time that a person asked about it. After all, the price of the shop is higher but the location of the shop is yellow street, which is a small place."

Jack nodded. This was the truth. After all, who would dare to spend a lot of money to purchase a shop and the spendings of the customers in the area wouldn't be able to bring back the money spent. Of course, only Jack would do that.

So, after going through the price and the image of the shop, Jack immediately agreed and paid the price for the shop. It cost him a total of $832,579.

He took the certificates and headed to the shop. Then, he immediately headed to the shop's location.

The shop's position was good, the size was good as well. It was just a little bigger than Comest Grocers. Jack nodded in satisfaction. He decided that he was going to make this the main grocery store in the entire street.

As for Alfix, since it was small, he would immediately shift to this new shop as soon as the logo and renovation was done.

He then left the shop, heading towards the parking area that was a few hundred meters away. He was getting closer to the car when he heard a sarcastic voice coming from the side.

"Isn't this Jack? It seems that you like sports cars but you can't afford them?" It was a male voice.

Turning around, Jack was stunned upon seeing that the person who had just spoken was none other than Steve. And beside him, Brenda stood, looking at him with a sly smile.
