In response to Andrew's comnt, Victoria did not say anything, she only nodded as if to imply that he could continue, so Andrew continued, "What you are wearing is called underwear and I assure you that there are many different models."
Andrew did not allow Victoria to interrupt him and continued saying, "However, that is not what I want to talk to you about." Victoria wrinkled her eyebrows upon hearing this, as the underwear seed like a very important business to her so she tried to bring up the topic back.
"Wait. Don't throw sothing like this at and then move on to sothing else. I am very interested in the so-called underwear," Victoria said, not wanting to let the topic go, so Andrew had to clarify.
"Victoria, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that it's tied to a much superior business opportunity." Hearing that there was a better opportunity, Victoria fell silent and gestured for Andrew to continue.
"You see, I have moved to Dunnas. Before, my center of operations was the empire of Cannaris, but being such a large country and with so many hidden powers, many problems presented themselves to ," Andrew began explaining.
He paused to let Victoria absorb what he was telling her and when he saw her nod he continued, "Besides, the emperor and his associates were not at all kind even though I gave them a lot of help."
"Well, that's not important, the point is that now Dunnas is my center of operations and I need to start developing here," Andrew concluded. Victoria took in everything Andrew told her and began to draw her own conclusions, but she didn't say them out loud.
Seeing that Victoria was paying attention to his words, Andrew continued to explain, "Apart from the Heavenly Palace, I have several businesses, adding the ones that my wife has, there is quite a bunch, so I have to develop, but then the idea of creating a shopping center ca to ."
Victoria wrinkled her eyebrows when she heard the concept of "Shopping center" because she did not know what Andrew ant, but he sensing this, began to explain what it consisted of in the sa way that he explained to Candice and the others.
She listened carefully to the explanation and the more she listened, the more surprised she beca. When Andrew finished his explanation, Victoria, wanting to verify that she had understood everything, summarized, "In short, you want to create an establishnt that brings together all your businesses at once, is it correct?".
"In essence. However, not just my and my wife's businesses, but it could also be yours and other rchants in the city," Andrew clarified. Upon hearing this, Victoria opened her eyes enormously, because she imdiately understood the implications of the so-called shopping center.
She associated it with the market in the city square. This was the closest thing to the mall that Andrew proposed, but she quickly understood the difference. Although in the market square, you can find many things, in the shopping center, everything is more exclusive, a perfect place for the noble and wealthy to buy what they want.
Victoria is a very smart businesswoman, so she quickly got the idea. Just imagining high-quality products gathered in one place was like creating a space for the noble and wealthy.
Andrew, seeing Victoria's expression, knew that she had grasped what he proposed, so he launched his proposal, "For this, we need a large and well-located property, sothing that we cannot have because the royal family would intervene".
"So you want to be the diator to get this idea approved, right?" Victoria asked, guessing Andrew's intention. He smiled and nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Victoria remained silent for a while and Andrew did not interrupt her, as he knew that she must be thinking about ways to proceed with this undertaking.
"It is not impossible for to propose this idea to the royal family, but it has its drawbacks," Victoria said suddenly. Integrated Andrew, he asked, "What would they be?"
"First of all, the royal family might refuse," Victoria began, but then added, "However, they are not so short-sighted as to not take advantage of an opportunity like this, and there is the problem".
Andrew cocked his head in confusion and Victoria noticing that, explained, "The royal family can create this project on their own, without taking us into account. The project is very good, but there is nothing that forces them to work with us."
"You an they would just take our idea and keep all the profits, right?" Andrew said and Victoria only nodded with a bit of heaviness.
She knew the royal family and the nobles better than anyone. She may be on good terms with many of them, but she knew that given the benefits the mall offered, they would hesitate to push them aside and eat the cake alone.
Andrew also understood the seriousness of the situation. The idea of the shopping center was for him and Victoria to invest with the royal family and thus earn money from renting the premises, earning a lot of money.
However, if what Victoria said happened, the situation would change. Getting so venues was possible, but they wouldn't be the ones running the show, but rather they would be part of it, which wasn't ideal.
With this understood, Andrew asked, "Any ideas on how to avoid that?", but Victoria seed to have no solution, so with a heavy expression she shook her head.
Andrew let out a sigh and began to think of a solution as well, but nothing ca to mind. The two remained silent for several minutes thinking, but in the end, they ended with dejected expressions, because nothing occurred to them.
In the end, Andrew resigned and decided to take a chance, so he asked, "Who is the custor of the device?", which made Victoria wrinkle her eyebrows and reply, "I can't tell you that yet."
"We won't get anywhere with this. Then I'll ask you sothing else, How powerful is she within the royal family?" Andrew asked and Victoria, still doubtful, answered ambiguously, "Quite a bit."
Andrew knew that Victoria as a noble of this country couldn't go around giving that information, but there was no other option, so he said, "Tell your client that I want to et with her."
Victoria didn't answer right away, she just looked at Andrew a little suspiciously and Andrew noticing this explained, "We have no choice. It is possible that what you think will happen, so I think it is best to talk directly to that person and propose the idea."
"Why do you want to et her then? I could report that" Victoria said a little cautiously, but Andrew said, "It's simple. If you propose it, they may make you part of the project, but we will be left out, on the other hand, if I propose it, we may achieve our goal."
"How do you intend to do that?" Victoria asked suspiciously, but Andrew didn't care and continued, "Expressing sincerity. Believe , I have no bad intentions, I just want to be proactive."
Seeing the look of doubt on Victoria's face, Andrew decided to co clean, "I'll be honest with you. Most of my problems in Cannaris were due to my lack of support, I don't intend to make the sa mistake in Dunnas."
"So you want to win over this client as a support?" Victoria asked, raising an eyebrow and Andrew nodded as he said, "Although it may not seem like it, I can bring many more benefits to this country than you think, but I won't do it for free".
Although hesitant, Victoria agreed after reflection. She just had to pass the ssage, there was nothing that would compromise her. She as a noble has to monitor her movents and while she has a good impression of Andrew, that doesn't an she would give him a blank check.
"Alright. I'll pass the ssage on, but I'll not bid for the eting to happen," Victoria said decisively, and Andrew smilingly replied, "That's all I need."
With that settled, Victoria said goodbye to him and Andrew returned to the office where he t with Candice and all of his wives and confidants. Once reunited he explained what he had discussed with Victoria, omitting the wild sex they had had.
Although he has an agreent with his wives to notify them each ti he "Ate" outside, it is not necessary to talk about it in the presence of Oliver and the others, so he would wait until nightti to tell them in the room.
They all listened carefully to Andrew and were concerned when he told them about Victoria's concerns, but they also thought that Andrew's idea was correct.
The best they could do right now was to show sincerity and so benefits. At that mont Gaston raised a key question, "Young Master Andrew's idea of showing sincerity is correct, but the question is, What do you intend to offer to be included?"
This was key. Even if he t with Victoria's client and expressed his sincerity, there was no need to ask about the result if he did not present a profit for that client.
No one would give sothing without receiving sothing and this was what they had to define. "We could offer the rejuvenating creams," Candice suddenly said, but Gastón denied saying, "That's our star product, we can't deliver it."
Andrew understood that too. Although the system had many other more powerful recipes if they handed this one in, it would set a precedent, so when they ca out with new ones, they would be coerced into handing them over as well, which was not ideal.
Everyone at that mont was silent thinking about solutions and surprisingly, Aki gave an idea, "Why don't we offer Andrew's massage to royalty?"
