Chapter 16

The next morning, he was once again picked up by the vampire and taken to that small manor. By this time, the fool’s condition had clearly improved. Franklin Young gave him another injection and then hurried back to the company.

The advertising effect from Lucas Lynn and her group of classmates was enormous. Starting the next day, Jinyuan Company was flooded with customers. Moreover, as time went on, the number of customers kept increasing, and the clientele became more upscale. At first, it was just female students from Cambridge, but later, even the noblewomen of London joined the buying frenzy, forcing Franklin Young to make another overnight trip to restock.

“This won’t do! From now on, we have to control the quantity. We can’t just keep selling like this. We need to adopt a pay-first, deliver-later model, and also raise the prices a bit.” The booming sales immediately brought out the true nature of Big Merchant Young. After selling a full three tons of daily chemical products, Jinyuan Company had no choice but to inform the customers who came to buy.

“Dear madam, I’m truly sorry. I never expected these products to be so popular, so now our supply is extremely tight. If you really want them, you’ll have to wait for a while, and you’ll need to pre-order.” Dressed in a high-end suit, Boss Young said very elegantly to an angry baroness.

“Then how long do I have to wait!” The baroness glared at him with hatred in her eyes, gritting her teeth as she asked.

“Well, at least two months. You probably don’t know, but all these goods have to be shipped from faraway China. Just sending a telegram from here to there takes several days, and then shipping them by boat takes even longer.” Franklin Young replied with a smile.

“Is there any way to get them in the shortest possible time?” The other party wasn’t a fool and clearly understood his intentions.

“Well, I could take some from the goods ordered by other customers and allocate them to you, but in that case, I’d be taking a big risk. As you know, my reputation is everything to me.” Franklin Young said.

The baroness gave him a deep look, took five pounds out of her small handbag, and handed it to Franklin Young, who shook his head almost imperceptibly. The baroness then took out two one-pound coins, but Franklin Young continued to shake his head. The baroness pushed the pile aside and directly pulled out a ten-pound note. Franklin Young nodded slightly in response, and the baroness glared at him before pulling out a fifty-pound note.

Franklin Young looked at her inquiringly.

The baroness pointed at Olay, Head & Shoulders, and Rejoice body wash, then held up two fingers.

“Very happy to be at your service!” Franklin Young immediately said with a beaming smile.

Chapter 9: Making Money and Chasing Girls at the Same Time

The booming sales of daily chemical products made the previously unremarkable Jinyuan Company famous overnight in London. By Sunday, Franklin Young once again caused a sensation in this capital of the world. Overnight, all the shelves at Jinyuan were replaced with exquisite jewelry made from a brand-new silvery metal.

Bracelets, bangles, earrings, ear studs, necklaces, rings… all kinds of jewelry dazzled the eyes. The fresh designs, intricate patterns, and new materials made every guest who visited fall in love at first sight.

“This is a lightweight metal—light as aluminum, strong as steel, and as enduring as gold!” Boss Young shouted passionately like a pyramid scheme promoter, pulling out his aluminum alloy ring and smashing it hard with a small hammer.

With a swoosh, the ring flew off, and the group of girls around him gasped in amazement. Someone quickly picked it up from the ground, and the ring, whose surface had been treated with high-temperature arc heating, still reflected dazzling light in the sunlight.

Next, Franklin Young turned and ran to the dressing room, taking the hand of Lucas Lynn, who was dressed to the nines, and walked out. The young lady was now wearing a full set of aluminum alloy jewelry, looking radiant and beautiful. With a slightly shy smile, she stood in the hall like a blooming lotus, the perfectly timed sunlight casting a dreamy halo around her.

What happened next was simple: the aluminum alloy jewelry, priced the same as silver jewelry, was quickly snapped up by the fashion-loving girls. Two hundred pieces didn’t even last until nightfall. Although the income wasn’t huge, this was a product that could win by volume. With the speed at which the beautiful head pendants could be produced, tens of thousands could be made in a day, making it perfect for wholesale all over the world.

Just thinking about aluminum alloy jewelry flooding the world made Boss Young grin from ear to ear.

“Let’s go, Brother Young is treating you to dinner tonight!” Franklin Young said to Lucas Lynn with a big smile, shamelessly extending his arm to her.

The young lady hesitated for a moment, but happily took his arm. After leaving, she was about to walk toward Franklin Young’s carriage, but he stopped her.

“This way!” Franklin Young said with a smile, then led her to a carriage in front that was covered with a black curtain. He grabbed the curtain and pulled it open in one go.

Lucas Lynn immediately let out a cry of amazement. In the afterglow of the setting sun, a silver pumpkin-shaped carriage straight out of a fairy tale appeared before her eyes, complete with two pure white horses at the front. In that moment, it truly felt like a dream.

“Beautiful princess, please get in!” Franklin Young invited the already stunned Lucas Lynn with a perfectly standard medieval gesture.
