The Founder of the Great Financial Family

‘He definitely came to leave the gold coins here. Or else he would have just left as soon as he heard the ridiculous storage fee,’ 

And there was only one Banco in this territory. 

‘Then it’s worth trying to be audacious here too,’

“Ajusshi, it’s not like we dig the ground and do business here, but we still have to pay for some labour costs. And I already gave you a big discount from 10%, right? It’s already a lot,” 

Carl still looked unwilling. 

“Whatever, let’s go with 3% – it’s normally 3%, 6% is ridiculous,” 

To be exact, the 3% storage fee also felt like too much, so most people bargained with Banco’s goldsmiths to cut down the gold coin storage fee. 

So what is the 6% storage fee in this rural area? 

However, this boy working at the shop wasn’t easily allowing it. 

“There aren’t any other goldsmiths in this fief, so you’ll have to go to another fief to get a low storage fee, but since everything is real around here, I don’t know how much they’ll charge for the storage fee somewhere else. Plus, there’s no knowing whether they would be affiliated with the Lyon Guild like we are,” 

How could this young boy have the guts to talk with the Captain of the Hound Mercenaries like that? 

‘He’s barely learned to walk yet, so where did he learn to talk like that?’

Only then was Captain Carl able to understand his men who had chewed their tongue and warned him before visiting the Banco. 

‘Captain, that’s not it. The little one there is so toxic! Why else would they have charged us so much?’

‘Sett is right. The little guy is pretty bold.’

‘Normally, kids like that piss themselves making eye contact with us, but he didn’t even flinch. Boss, why don’t you just guard it for a few days, and we can leave it someplace else after a few days. It’s only a few days, after all. Nothing will happen,’

His men had repeatedly emphasised ‘be careful of the boy who was working at the store.’.

He was indeed tough like a goblin.

‘If only I had a subspace pocket where I could store the gold coins separately,’ 

If he had such a thing, then he wouldn’t have had to come to this Banco in the first place. It would have been enough to keep the gold in the subspace pocket without paying the storage fee. 

‘But even if you can find someone who sells them, the price isn’t easy,’

It wasn’t a commonly found item, so it was treated like a treasure, and because it was a treasure, it was even more challenging to obtain since people were less willing to sell one even if they had one. The prince was also astronomically high.

“Alright, let’s make it 5 percent. 5% is still me giving in a lot,”

For him, 5% wasn’t a price he was willing to pay at all, but there was no other choice right now. 

“5 percent?”

If this had been a normal transaction, Rockefeller would have offered him a 3 percent storage fee from the beginning, and Carl, who would have received the quote, would have bargained about 2 percent or 1 percent because it was a waste of money to just accept 3 percent as a storage fee. 

‘Well, 5% is still good business, but when you’re doing business with your guts, you have to stick by it.’

“I can’t do that. I told you before, right? It’s supposed to be 10 percent, but I gave you a big discount and will give it to you at 6 percent. It’s hard for me too since I have to be conscious about the owner,” 

Carter, who had been trimming the gold coins inside the store, smiled helplessly. 

‘Where on earth did he learn things like that?’

Captain Carl, who had been fighting with Rockefeller for a while, reluctantly accepted Rockefeller’s proposal. 

Since he didn’t know much about the shop owner, he was worried that Carl would be charged more for the storage fee than what had been offered if he came out to the front. 

“Fine, I’m not happy with it, but let’s do that. But… you’re not lying, are you?” 

“Lie? How could I lie to someone as tough as you?” 

Carl thought of the subordinates he would be meeting later with a sick look on his face. 

‘I complained so much about them getting ripped off, but if I say I paid 6% as the gold storage fee, then it would be a real laugh,’ 

“Instead, there’s a condition,” 

Rockefeller tilted his head towards those words, 

“Condition? What is it?”

“This deal, let’s keep it between us. I’ll pay the 6 percent storage fee, so if anyone comes and asks, I only paid 3 percent. Since I have a reputation as well,” 

“Alright, but Ajusshi, you can’t go around anywhere talking about it either,” 

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll be taking this incident to my grave. Just make sure that if those rough-looking guys come and ask for confirmation, tell them you traded at 3% – that’s enough."
