The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman

Chapter 845: Stupid People with Lots of Money, Come Quickly! (Part 2)

There was a knock on the door. Savage turned around and found that there was a knock on his door. When he opened the door, he saw no one at first. When he lowered his head, he found a child with baby fat on his face. , holding a stack of newspapers, looking at him expectantly.

"Sir, do you want to order a newspaper? 80% of the residents here have already ordered. I will deliver today's latest daily newspaper to your door at 6:30 in the morning. If you also ordered milk, the milk will also be delivered. And delivered, other breakfast foods and daily necessities will be delivered at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m...."

Savage frowned, but the child was not afraid at all. He took two steps closer, handed the newspaper to Savage and said, "You can take a look at it first. We have cooperated with Gotham Daily and we guarantee it to you." The newspaper inks are of the best quality and can be read clearly without ironing! ”

"Of course, we also provide free newspaper ironing service, but you must order newspapers and milk for at least one year to receive this service."

"Believe me, sir, our Majiaoer gang are the most professional newsboys in the living hell. The milk we can order is also the best. It's all just shipped from outside the city. If you order it all, I can still go Help you negotiate discounts..."

The kid was selling hard, but Savage focused on the newspaper.

He discovered that the construction site information he had asked the flute player to collect before was now clearly written in the newspaper. Not only that, but also the start time and completion time of each construction site, how long the work was done every day, and even the completion time. The renderings were written on the front pages of newspapers.

Savage snorted coldly. He thought that Wayne Group was just a private company and did not understand the importance of intelligence at all. Such an important thing was written so clearly in a newspaper that everyone could read. If anyone If you want to cause trouble, can't you just get information easily?

"Sir, do you want to order? Please, order one. Our recent performance is not good. If I can't fulfill the order, our boss will beat me. Please..."

Amid the child's pleas, Savage handed the newspaper back to him and said, "How do I order it?"

The child immediately showed a happy smile, then pulled out a notebook from his pocket and said: "You only need to write your name and address here, pay the fee, and then you can get the newspaper every week."

"If you order the newspaper alone, it costs 10 US dollars a week, but if you add it with milk, the total is 16 US dollars a week. If you want to subscribe for a year, it can be cheaper. If you want to hire, long-term errand services can also be paid on a monthly basis. It’s $60 a month…”

Savage snorted and said, "Do you think I don't know that you deliberately asked for a high price? And the house rented to me by the gang here is at least ten times more expensive than outside."

"Of course, sir." To Savage's expectation, the newsboy didn't panic or even deny it. He just said seriously: "It's very expensive for outsiders to order newspapers here because we need to pay extra." Deliver newspapers to you.”

After saying that, the newsboy plucked his fingers and said: "Let's put it this way, if something happens to you here, or if you hurt someone here because you don't understand the rules, we will all be taken to the gang for questioning..."

"Once something big happens, we will all be affected. We may not be able to work for a few days, or we may lose our lives. Therefore, the cost for you to hire us will be more expensive. This is reasonable. This is true for all outsiders." ”

After finishing speaking, the newsboy curled his lips and said: "It's just that some poor people from other places just say they can't afford to order. They have to find all kinds of excuses and want us to sell it to them cheaply..."

"There was a ghost old man from out of town who got drunk and smashed a vase. The fragments of the vase hurt a patrolman's head. I was taken for questioning on the second and third days, but I couldn't do anything for two days. To work, or to borrow money from others to buy food..."

"As a result, the drunkard had no money to pay compensation, so I was scolded by the gang leader, saying that I knew he was drinking but didn't remind them."

The newsboy looked at Savage with wide eyes and said, "They said you are very rich, that's why I came here. If it were those poor, unqualified people, I wouldn't even knock on the door!"

Savage's eyes widened and he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the children here would be so reasonable.

What he said made people feel quite reasonable and they would sympathize with him, so Savage said: "Money is not the problem, the problem is, I gave you so much money, how much can you do for me" ?”

The newsboy's eyes widened immediately. He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Oh my god, sir, you don't really plan to do something here, do you?"

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Savage took out ten cents from his pocket and handed it to him. The newsboy took the money and continued: "In the first month when outsiders come here, the children will focus on it." Keep an eye on him. If there is any problem, he will report it immediately. Don’t do anything here.”

"If the gangs can't be controlled, they will call the police. The police in Gotham are very scary. In our area, not many people can go to court alive, and even fewer have sound limbs. There is also that bat that often wanders around here. Xia, I heard that he eats children..."

Savage narrowed his eyes and said: "No, I don't want to cause any trouble here, but you also know that I am a newbie here and I am not very familiar with the rules here. If I am willing to order your newspapers and milk, you Are you willing to tell me some of the big things that happened recently?”

The newsboy scratched his head and said, "But, big news can be seen in newspapers, right? You just need to order newspapers."

"I'm talking about big news in the living hell..."

The newsboy seemed a little puzzled, but he still said, "Okay, if this allows you to order newspapers from me, it's not impossible, but I don't have that much time to write, so how can I tell you?"

"If you can't write, then I'll find someone who can write." Savage narrowed his eyes, stroked his arm, and said, "There should be a lot of newsboys who can deliver newspapers here..."

The newsboy shook his head and said, "Morning and evening are our peak times for delivering things. No one will be willing to waste time writing long essays. If we don't write it ourselves, It costs money to hire someone."

"I've said it before, money is not a problem." Savage took a step back at the right time and said, "I will give you a suitable compensation, but you must ensure the timeliness and authenticity of the information."

The newsboy hesitated for a long time and said, "Okay, but you have to give me an extra $10 a week...ah, no, $5, $5 is enough, I will put the written things under your vase at 5 o'clock every night."

"But..." The newsboy raised his voice and emphasized, "You must order a year's worth of newspapers and milk to make up for the insufficient orders I have this month, otherwise it's not worth it for me to do this..."

The two of them pulled for a long time, and finally, Savage paid the money and the newsboy got the order.

Savage thought he had found a breakthrough. Although these kids were greedy for money, they were at least much better than those unreasonable gangsters who only knew how to shoot.

It doesn't matter if they ask for a high price, or even if they treat me as a fat sheep to be slaughtered. As long as they agree to my first condition, the follow-up will be easy.

Yes, Savage's idea is the same as Schiller's before. He thinks that as long as a group here opens the door to him and as long as they are willing to make a little concession, then the rest will be a piece of cake.

The newsboy ran quickly through the corridor, crossed the narrow corridor bridge, and came to the South District.

He knocked on the door of an office, and without waiting for the person inside to respond, he opened the door and rushed in, saying: "Boss Cobert, it's done! You are so predictable, he really asked me to send him intelligence!"

"How much did you ask him for?" Cobert asked from behind the desk.

"I wanted $10, but I ended up paying $5. Isn't this price too high?" the newsboy asked. He said, "After all, I told him that it would cost $10 a week to subscribe to a newspaper..."

"Not high, I think it's just right." Cobert showed a sinister smile. He said, "This price will make him know that he has been ripped off, but it's nothing to him. This is what Professor Schiller said, to make him judge the loss."

"$10 a week is an outrageously high price for the living hell. He should know this, but because he is rich, he thinks it's okay to try. Next, he will increase his costs step by step to test his bottom line..."

"The good show is about to begin."

Accompanied by Cobert's smile, several flyers on his desk flew out of the window and fell in front of Savage's door.

There is a mailbox in front of every apartment room in the living hell. Before Savage moved in, he found that most of the mailboxes here were filled with advertisements, but he didn't expect that he would be warmly welcomed by the merchants here the day after he moved in.

Food, daily necessities, even weapons, bars, restaurants and some pharmacies that are not easy to say, almost all the businesses that can be found in the living hell have placed a large number of advertisements in these corridors.

Savage is not like the residents here, buying vegetables and cooking by himself. He only goes to high-end restaurants for meals. The food charges in the restaurants in the living hell are not expensive, but the various additional fees are surprisingly expensive, with a service charge of 30%, a tip of 20%, and even the packaged meal box fee, which costs more than ten dollars.

However, Savage used to spend money at the Sokos Hotel, and the restaurants in the living hell, even if these messy fees are added, are less than half of the cost at the Sokos Hotel.

In this comparison, Savage feels that they charge more money, but it doesn’t matter, because the total price is not expensive, and the service attitude is much better than that of the Sokos Hotel.

The style of all the shops in the living hell is that as soon as Savage comes in, they will greet him with a smile. From the store manager to the waiter, they stand in two rows and smile and bow to greet. With one move and one look from Savage, someone will come over and ask him what he wants to do.

When it comes to signing the tip sheet, the best employee comes over and looks at him with a smile. Savage simply signs the tip sheet, which is only a few dozen dollars in total.

Of course, after seeing these advertisements, Savage also wants to go to the bar to find out, because that is where the gang members are most active, and there should be a lot of intelligence.

After entering the bar, you must order a drink. The most common water-cut whiskey costs dozens of dollars, but as long as you add a little more money, you can order a pretty good drink for more than 100 dollars.

When Savage consumed at the Sokworth Hotel, the price was about the same, so Savage was not surprised.

When sitting at the bar, a group of gang members sitting next to him often got drunk and talked about their boss. Savage sat next to him and listened, and he couldn't stop drinking. It was normal to drink hundreds of dollars a night.

These two-digit and three-digit expenses were not taken seriously by Savage at all. Going to a meal cost more than 200 dollars, going to the supermarket cost more than 100 dollars, and going to bars and nightclubs to inquire about information, and 500 dollars a night was not much.

However, after living there for two weeks, Savage was stunned when he saw the recent expense bill.

In two weeks, he spent nearly 3,000 dollars. Now it was the 1990s, even for the middle class in Gotham, this was a huge sum of money.
