The Strongest Businessman-130 Chapter 130: Before the Auction

Three figures descended from the skies and leisurely landed on the platform where Dylan was standing.

"Isn't that Hallmaster Azelmek Premier! Coordinator Sheldon and Vice-coordinator Allen! The top three figure of the Premier Hall is here in the flesh!?" A man shouted when he saw those those three.

"No way!" One person could not believe it at first.

"They really are!" An old lady exclamied in shock!

...

"Hahaha, what a lively crowd you've got here, disciple." The man who just spoke Azelmek who came in flying with Sheldon and Allen.

"Disciple greets master. Uncle Sheldon, Uncle Allen, good day to you." Dylan greeted with a respectful bow.

"It seems that Dylan is much more capable than we thought. There is at least 700 people that are gathering outside of your fences." Sheldon laughed.

"Wait... 700?! Are you sure about this, uncle?" Dylan clearly did not expect that number as it exceeded his normal estimate by almost a half!

"Did you not expect this much to come?" Allen fondled his beard.

"Indeed, my business is still considered to be low class and as far as I know, auctions conducted by low class establishment normally has the population count of over two hundred and fifty. I have already taken into account the statuses I have as the successor of the Thundercloud Kings and the business partner of the Premier Hall which should increase it to five hundred or five hundred fifty people. Based on this calculations, I made the arrangement of the Auction house. So I am finding it a little bit odd that it increased to such an extent." Dylan said. He did not expect that there would be this much people who wants to attend the auction.

The three were impressed by the level of proactiveness and foresight that Dylan had. This made them anticipate even more how Dylan would grow as a businessman in the future.

"Maybe you forgot the likeability and attractiveness of your own workers." Azelmek raised a possibility.

"Likeability and attractiveness of my workers? You're right! If I also took that and the number of people they have given the flyers to into account individually for 3 hours, then the number of customer would increase by 200-260." Dylan quickly calculated as quickly as he could.

According to his survey on his employees, there would be at least 2/5 people who will talk to them and 1/2 of which would compliment them after giving out a flyer. The number of fliers that each person were to give out was 100 and there are also 81 employees all in all.

Since everyone was able to accomplish there task except for Kent who was injured before he could distribute the flyers he had, there would be 8000 flyers that have been distributed. That would mean that the number people who were interested with Dylan's were 800. If you also take into account the fact that there is a tendency for a person to pass by this street 3-4 times a week, then there would be at least 260-200 people who would come for the sake seeing the one they admire.

"Quite a quick thinker you are. But if it as you have said, then you should be expecting, at least 60 more people. How do you plan on accomodating all of them? If the auction house you prepared could only hold 580 people, then there would still be at least 280 more people you need to accomodate." Sheldon questioned.

"..." Dylan was silent fo a while. Like what Sheldon said, there was problems with the accomodation of the people. He was looking for ways to solve this problem using less resources possible. He was also pressed with the time because he could not postpone the event or else, it would affect his reputation with the customers.

Although the question may sound to be of concern, the truth was Dylan's problem-solving skills and situational flexibility were being tested. Azelmek and Allen also knew Sheldon's intention for doing so. They nodded in approval when Sheldon asked that question.

If Dylan was unable to think of a solution due to the pressure of expectation and time, it could only be considered a rookie mistake. However if Dylan were to somehow successfully push through, it would just prove how talented Dylan is when it comes to business.

Of course, if Dylan could not think of anything, the three already decided to help immediately to prevent his reputation from ever being damaged.

"Got it!" Dylan clasped his hands and smiled.

'Has he already thought of a way to solve this situation?!' The three thought the same thing when they heard Dylan say that.

"Have you thought of any method to solve this problem efficiently?" Allen was the one who asked this time.

"I have." Dylan confidently smiled.

"Is that true?" Azelmek asked in shock. It had only been a few seconds since Sheldon has asked that question but he has already thought of a plan to solve it.

"Yes, master." Dylan replied quickly.

"Then, how are you planning to solve this?" Sheldon awkwardly asked.

"I can think of three ways but the most efficient and quickest way involves you master and uncles to help me with the preparation. Will you help me, master, uncle Sheldon and Uncle Allen?" Dylan asked whether he could gain their assistance to make things easier.

"Of course, we would be willing to help out as much as he can." Azelmek swore.

"Fine by me. It is nice to be needed by my nephew once in a while." Sheldon even joked.

"I will do what I can, Young Master Dylan." Allen smiled kindly.

"Thank you so much." Dylan thanked the three of them with a bow.

"What should we do then?" Sheldon inquired.

"Simple. We just move that wooden platform near the herbal store to the center of the road. It would only be a piece of cake for you guys. Then..." Dylan was going to discuss his plan when Sheldon interrupted him

"Wait, but wouldn't that mean you will be obstructing a public highway? It is a direct violation of the Public Road Access Act. This could already be considered as a crime that may prompt the Thundercloud Guards to intervene." Sheldon interjected immediately when he heard the first step. He was worried that the Thundercloud Guards might come and arrest him for violating the law.

"That's right. It might not be appropriate to take this course of action, Dylan." Allen also agreed out of concern.

"I am aware of that but you should have let me finish first before voicing out your opinions because the next part of the plan I thought of may potentially solve that problem of mine." Dylan responded patiently.

"He is right, Sheldon. You should have at least let him finish. Though the time I have spent with Dylan is short, I believe that he would not be the type of person to think of a reckless plan without realizing it's faults." Azelmek lightly scolded Sheldon.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you. I was a little too impatient. What is it that you had in mind?" Sheldon said.

"The next part I mentioned a while ago is rerouting the road. So, instead of it being a straight way, we will create two paths that go around the platform which is now placed on the center that way there would be two entrance and exits! According to the law, obstructing the citizens to pass would be a violation but now that I will make two alternative routes, it should not be the case, right? I assume this would resolve the solution." Dylan suggested.

"Definitely." The three were surprised by Dylan's arrangements.

"I could also have my employees slightly renovate the herbal store and the diner so that it would be fit to accomodate more people. The space of those two combine could accomodate 400 people at a time. With that, even if some unexpected people were to arrive, they can still be entertained. That sums about everything." Dylan concluded.

What Dylan proposed would indeed be plausible. The transfer of the wooden platform may take up space in the middle but the original placement of the platform would also be vacated which would create one passageway. The space between the middle and the Auction house would also provide another way.

As long as proper crowd control was observed, no counterflow will occur and both passages will allow citizens to pass by the block from left to right or right to left.

"Outstanding! You exceeded my expectations there. This disciple of mine is exceptional!" Azelmek laughed proudly.

"He truly is." Sheldon and Allen was amazed by Dylan's quickwittedness and intellect. He has surpassed their expectations yet again.

"Let's get started then." Azelmek smiled.

"Yes, sir!" Sheldon and Allen replied.

"Wait, let me just tell my employ-" Dylan was going to inform his employees forst but to his surprise, the Azelmek trio did all of it in a flash.

"Done." The trio spoke without even breaking a sweat.

Sheldon used materialized Origin Energy and formed it into a giant hand. Next, he placed it at the spot that Dylan reffered to. Allen and Azelmek used their Origin Energy as well to unsheathe the buried fences on the ground. When they were withdrawn, they appeared like white blades waiting to impale those beneath them. Then, they replanted and reorganized them according to the placement that Dylan described earlier.

The herbal store and diner were opened simultaneously. The tables and the chairs were quickly in its original and neat manner!

It all happened in mere seconds. By Dylan's estimate, it not had even been 5 seconds since they said they were going to do it but they already finished it in a flash.

It was not only him, the crowd also saw that scene which left them speechless. They were in awe by the power that the three displayed.

"So powerful..." The crowd softly uttered.

"Thank you very much, master and uncles. I did not expect you to accomplish the task in a blink of an eye. You have done so much for me. I will be sure to repay you in due time. For now, please enjoy the treatment on the fourth floor of the Auction House." Dylan thanked the three sincerely.

"It is only natural for me to asist my student whenever he needs it." Azelmek smirked and patted Dylan's shoulder.

"It was only a small thing for us to do. Don't put too much thought into it." Sheldon smiled.

"You are most welcome. If you wish, you can rely on me at times of need." Allen adressed with courtesy.

"I really can't thank you all enough. For now, I have to start the auction already. So, just sit back and watch. If my master and uncles, have anything that would pique their interests. You may just approach me and I will do my best to give you the product." Dylan promised.

"Hahaha, then we will be expecting greatly from such your auction." Sheldon chuckled.

" We'll get going now, Dylan." Azelmek rose to the air and entered the floor as though he had just taken a private elevator.

After greeting the trio, Dylan went to the middle of the platform. This action of his abrupty caught the attention of the crowd. Dylan gathered his voice and loudly said.

"Welcome, everyone! I am Dylan Ford! I sincerely thank all of you today for coming. I wish to convey my gratitude to all of you with a bow." Dylan courteously started.

"Yeah!" The crowd was pretty riled up due to the unexpected demonstration that Azelmek, Sheldon, and Allen did earlier.

"Today, the Soaring Garden enterprise is going to conduct its' very first Monthly Auction which is free for all! That means regardless of your status as long as you have money, you are allowed to enter." Dylan raised his arm as he maintained the volume of his voice.

"Yeaaah!!!" The crowd responded excitedly.

"If you wish for accomodation, we can also entertain you all with a very attractive offer. If you want to enter the two accomodation houses we have prepared, one must pay 10 gold coins to enter the ground floor of both buildings. To access the second floor of the two buildings, one must pay 100 gold coins. To gain entry to the third floor of the Auction House, one must pay 1000 gold coins or 1 spirit stones. To be allowed to enter the fourth floor, 10 spirit stones must be paid beforehand." Dylan explained.

Dylan continued without pause. " Of course, I know that the accomodations are not the reason you came here, instead, you desire rare and exotic treasures that may cause a vast amount of fortune! I assure you that all of the items that we are going to present are 100% authentic! Get ready to be amazed by the different treasures that we have prepared for all of you!"

"Whoooooohoooo!"

"Yaaaaah!"

The cheering became even louder as Dylan paused. But what truly excited the audience when Dylan had the girls enter the stage. "Ladies, enter!"

"Yaaaaahooooo!"

"So beautiful!"

A parade of beauties wearing beautiful dresses fed the eyes of the men within the crowd with fervor and excitement! Their light make up helped them come out of their shells even more and bloom like beautiful flowers blossoming.

"Men, Enter!" Dylan queued the men to enter.

"Kyaaaaaah!"

"They're so gorgeous!"

Dashing men wearing fine formal wear. Looking amiable and pleasing to the eyes with their gorgeous smiles. They looked like bachelor gentlemen standing in an orderly line while maintaining their radiant smiles.

"With this, I formally anounce the opening of the 1st Monthly Soaring Garden Auction!!" Dylan matched the hype with a rallying roar which heightened the moral of the customers waiting in line.
