Future Operations

Jack sold to the lady a few foodstuffs. Just like the man that had just left, she asked for the vegetables. Of course, Jack replied that they would be available the following day. After all, after getting the system, he would make sure that the customers get satisfied with his services.

The total this time was $17. The lady paid via cash. She had wanted the vegetables the most but since they weren't available, she bought some spices and other few items.

As soon as he kept the money inside the draw of the counter, the system's robotic voice echoed followed by the vibration of his phone.

[You've earned seventeen dollars. Multiplier applied. You've received one thousand and seven hundred dollars.]

He took out his phone and just as he had expected, the vibration was caused by the message from the bank.

{Flyers Bank Account Received $1,732 Current balance is $29,636}

Jack could finally see that the system wasn't going to be cheated. After all, he was supposed to receive $1700. But since he had received $17, then this amount was deducted from the total and the rest was sent into his bank account.

Jack then thought to himself, 'It seems that I can get back all the money that I spent as well as make a profit on my first day. This is going to be amazing!'

Just like that, Jack forgot about the motorcycle that he had just received as a reward from the system. The customers were coming into the store one after the other and the number was increasing as time went on.

Most of them asked for vegetables but since there were no vegetables, they had no choice but to try the other stores. What's more, there were some of them that began complaining and left without purchasing anything.

"If you don't have vegetables, then why did you open the store!?"

"Hey, I just wasted a lot of time to get here. Now you're telling me that there are no vegetables?"

"Hey, if you don't want to run the store, just close it down!"

But since Jack was in good mood from the amount of money that was entering his account, he definitely ignored the angered voices of the customers.

Of course, he would bring the vegetables on the following day. He knew that no matter how much he listened to them, there was no way that he was going to change the situation. After all, there were no vegetables in the store and nothing could change that for the time being.

That would change the following day. After all, most of the people that came to the store mostly wanted vegetables.

It was around 9.30pm that Jack closed the store. The customers had stopped coming to the store at around 9.10pm.

The earnings today could be said to be the most that he had gotten in his life. He had earned a total of $834. This was added to the fact that the vegetables were not there or else, he would have earned a bit more.

Although this could be seen as much, of one considered that the stock had to be maintained, the profit from this was only around $105. But, this was good too as if he multiplied by thirty, this would be at least $3,000 a month.

The monthly rent was only $700. So, he could be said to be earning about $2,300 per month.

But, that was on a normal situation. With the Hundred Times Income Multiplier, Jack's income of the day wasn't that small.

He took his phone and checked the balance in his account.

{Flyers Bank Savings Account Balance is $112,401}

His bank account already had over one hundred thousand dollars. On this day, the customers had mostly paid in cash. The total cash amount that he was having was $702. This was the amount that was given to him after the purchases.

Jack immediately made a decision. All the cash that he would be receiving was the one that he would be spending on himself. As for the ones that came into his account, he would use all of that in his business.

He was already quite wealthy to the ordinary standards, but he knew that this wasn't enough. If the Alfonso family wanted to cause him problems, there was no way that he could resist. He would be forced to go to another city again.

He took out the key to the motorcycle as he closed the store. The streets were slightly lit up by streetlights. There were some areas that were dark as the streetlights weren't working there.

But, since he was closer to the richer area, the area in front of his store was fully lit. As soon as he got out, he found that in the small parking space of the store, there was a modern bike parked there.

There were some people that were looking at it in admiration. They kept talking about it.

"Do you know what kind of bike this is?"

"No, do you?"

"of course I do. This is a Suzuki GSX-R1000 Phantom Special Edition. It's worth at least $17,000."

"What? That expensive?"

"Of course it is. This bike has a speed of 173mph."

"It's really cool. By the way, how do you know about all of that?"

"Humph, I've been researching on the bikes recently. I will be buying one in the near future."

"Wow, it seems that you're rich."

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 Phantom Special Edition was painted black. It could merge well with the dark as long as the headlights were not switched on.

Jack got to the small crowd and took out the key. He then pushed open the reluctant crowd before sitting on the bike. He could feel that it was kind of comfortable sitting on it.

After ignition, he sped away from the store as the crowd of youngsters made way.

"Do you know that person?"

"I think he's the one that was in the store."

"So, he's the new owner of the store?"

"Maybe. After all, with such a bike, how can he be a small time employee?"

The youngsters discussed for some time before they dispersed.

On the other hand, Jack enjoyed the thrill of riding the bike. This wasn't his first time riding one as he knew how to drive even cars. This was something that all members of Alfonso family had to know.

So, although he wasn't liked there, he was still able to learn most of the things like his other siblings.

With the headlights on, all the areas that were dark were lit up. Thus, in just a few minutes, Jack had arrived at his apartment. He wanted to go for a few more rounds but felt that things won't work out well as it is nighttime.

Furthermore, Yellow street wasn't somewhere safe as there were some gangsters loitering around the street at such a time. He felt that he would have to get an assistant to help him with the store now that his source of income was assured.

This apartment had a small parking space. Jack went forward and packed his bike. There were two Toyota Corolla cars that were packed there. Of course, they were old ones. But still, they were better than those that had to walk on foot while going to work.

After locking the bike, he took the keys and the helmet -which was on the bike but he didn't wear- and headed back to his room.

After a simple meal, he laid down on his bed and began thinking about what he was going to do the following day.

First off, he would have to purchase the store. He found that the store was in a good place and he didn't lack customers. If not for the lack of vegetables in the store, then he was sure that he would have earned even more.

After all, he had earned more than twice the amount that he had been saving for six years.

The next thing was to find the source if stock. He would have to find a reliable source where he could get things to sell there in the store.

For that, he would have to take a few trips around the city to find someone that he could come to an agreement with so that they can supply him with goods.

Then, the assistant for the store. No, he would have to hand over the store to another person while he himself would deal with expanding the business or opening other businesses.

There were some companies that had people that could do the job. These small companies were the ones that could offer the citizens the help in looking for jobs at a small monthly interest from their income.

They were reliable. So, he wasn't going to get worried that the person that he would employ would run away with the money. After all, all of their details were recorded in the company.

Now, to expand the business, he would need to do more than just getting a store. If he wants to get a better source of income, he would have to go to a better street. But of course, he wouldn't close down the store here in Yellow street. He might as well open branches for the store.

After thinking it through, he found that it would be good if he could just open branches for Alfix Grocery Store in the city. This way, he could at least have something to hold onto first.

Then, after the stores are opened, he could place the headquarters in the center of the city. Then, from there, if things went well, he would influence other cities too.

With the Hundred Times Income Multiplier, he wasn't worried about money. The only thing that he would have you deal with would be getting connections and suppliers. As long as he was assured of the supply, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Buzz!

At this time, his phone vibrated. He took it and looked at it. It was a message from the butler of Alfonso family.

{Jack is no longer a member of Alfonso family. But since he has the bloodline of the Alfonso's , he would be given a compensation of $50,000. It is expected that Jack would not dare to use the Alfonso family's influence in any way or he would be punished.}

{Flyers Bank Account Received $50,000. Current balance is $162,401.}

Not long after that…

[You've earned fifty thousand dollars. Multiplier applied. You've received five million dollars.]

{Flyers Bank Account Received $5,000,000. Current balance is $5,162,401.}

"Oh, that works too?" Jack asked out loud.
