Chapter 118 Big Business

A cheerful and lively dinner was held in the "Angel's Gift" tavern, where the knights drank fine wine and exchanged interesting stories in daily life.

There was laughter and joy, it was very interesting.

When everyone was a little tipsy, Wendy, who was playing the guitar at the side, finally seized the opportunity. She sneaked over to sit next to the counter and asked Diluk for several large glasses of fine wine that he could not afford before. She drank happily.

As time passed, this lively party soon came to an end. During this party, everyone enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.

While everyone was not paying attention, Lu Shiyuan left the party and sat in front of Diluk.

Diluk, who was counting the number of glasses of wine that Wendy drank, came back to his senses and looked at Lu Shiyuan. "Why are you coming to me instead of chatting with the ladies of the Knights?"

"Because I think... you are more attractive than those women." Lu Shiyuan said something very strange with a smile.

This statement had a great effect, and Diluk was so frightened that he leaned back slightly.
"Hahaha, are you scared? Just a joke, just a joke." Lu Shiyuan laughed and patted the table.

"I've heard this kind of thing many times..." Diluk was silent for a moment, then said, "But this is the first time I've heard it from a man.

And it’s not funny at all.”

He said with a little displeasure: "If you have something serious to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

"I'm going to discuss a business deal with you." Seeing that the atmosphere was good at the moment, Lu Shiyuan blinked and said frankly with a smile, "A big deal."

"Oh, what kind of business can be called a big business by you and me?" Diluk became interested. He took out two high-heeled glasses, poured grape juice into one glass and mellow red wine into the other glass, and pushed the latter in front of Lu Shiyuan.

Then he pulled a chair and sat opposite Lu Shiyuan, gently shaking the goblet in his hand and asked.

"Recently, I took back the three shops that once belonged to my family... At the same time, I also killed my old enemy." Lu Shiyuan was not in a hurry to talk about the specific content of the business.

"Congratulations." Diluk raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his glass to congratulate.

"Thank you for your kind words."

The two clinked their glasses and took a symbolic sip.

"Among these three shops, there is a tavern. I plan to use your dandelion wine and various flavors of cocktails as the main selling points."

"Well, people always like new things, just like the people of Mondstadt like Liyue jewelry. Selling Mondstadt's wine in Liyue will most likely arouse the purchasing desire of the people of Liyue. It's a good idea.

However, if it is just supplying drinks to a pub, it is not a big business. Given your personality, there must be something else that you haven’t said yet.”

"Haha, Master Diluk still understands me.

You are right. Although I just want to buy wine from you to sell, the demand for this wine is huge."

"Huge? How huge?"

"I want all of the dandelion wine that your winery currently has in stock, as well as a small amount of other types of wine."

"...That's really shocking!" Even the richest man in Mond was a little surprised, "What do you want so much dandelion wine for? Forget it, I won't ask. Anyway, with your brain, you can't do a business that loses money.

So, let’s talk directly about the price issue.

Currently, there are about 400 barrels of Dandelion Wine in stock in the winery. Based on the bulk sales price of 500,000 Mora per barrel, it would cost at least 200 million Mora to buy them all. If you really want to buy them all, I can give you other types of wine that are not in great demand as a bonus.

Of course, our winery can’t leave every barrel, so the most we can sell to you is…” “No, I must take them all!” Lu Shiyuan interrupted Diluk, holding up a finger and said, “Don’t leave any barrels, this is my only request.”

"Oh?" Diluk was a little surprised. "Do you want Mondstadt to run out of stock for a while? But Mondstadt is out of stock, so it's impossible for it to bring many customers to Liyue."

"Of course I'm not after a few drunkards' money." Lu Shiyuan waved his hand. "I bought out all the dandelion wine temporarily because I want to use it as a bargaining chip to hire a bartender to work in my bar."

Diluk understood immediately, "You mean, the girl from the Cat's Tail Tavern?
So that's it, you've researched her and learned about her talent in bartending and her eccentric personality that hates alcohol!

If it's her, then it would be worth your investment.

But is this approach feasible?”

"It's feasible, of course it's feasible, that little girl, because her father becomes a different person after drinking, she hates alcohol so much that she is determined to destroy Mond Wine Industry.

Well, I, a person with a lot of money and a fool who can directly cause a shortage of wine in Mondstadt, will undoubtedly be her lucky star.

If I give her a little more persuasion, she will definitely think that working with me is more promising and come to me."

"Haha." Diluke laughed out loud at Lu Shiyuan's magical idea, "This is what is called 'buying the casket and returning the pearl'."

"It's hard to tell who is the casket and who is the pearl."

"This is an interesting business. Well, since you want to use my dandelion wine as a box to attract the more valuable pearl, I have to help you. I will sell you all 400 barrels of dandelion wine!" Diluk waved his hand and asked the most important question, "Shi Yuan, with your financial resources, can you buy 400 barrels at once?"

"That's a problem." Lu Shiyuan touched his chin, "I have 50 million in cash, I can give it to you as a deposit, and you can pay me back slowly, how about that?"

"Shi Yuan!" Diluk looked at Lu Shi Yuan with a playful look. He played with the wine glass and said casually, "I give you the goods at once, but you can't pay the money all at once. This behavior seems to be a bit inconsistent with the spirit of the "contract".

You know, if there is a shortage of dandelion wine, it will put a lot of pressure on me."

"Yeah." Lu Shiyuan nodded. As expected, Diluk was not a kind-hearted person, but quite shrewd.

He thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Please."

Lu Shiyuan turned and left his seat. Diluke narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not see any embarrassment or awkwardness from the former's back.

In other words, this guy most likely has the means to come up with 200 million.

“It seems that he is not a reckless person who is unprepared.” Diluk nodded with satisfaction.

After a moment, Lu Shiyuan returned to his seat, holding a pile of ancient weapons with obvious ancient Monde style in his arms.

Then, he placed the weapons one by one on the counter for Diluk to see. "I'll use these antiques as collateral. What do you think?"

Diluk frowned, somewhat disapproving at first, but when he actually saw the appearance of these weapons, he became serious.

The sacrificial sword, the sacrificial greatsword, the sacrificial fragment, and the sacrificial bow are ancient artifacts with a long history in Mondstadt. They are antiques that have been circulating since before New Mondstadt was established!

Even the blessing or curse of the wind of time remains on it.
