Margaret was delighted with Alex. “I want to work with you to open some more Restaurant branches. Previously Aunt Evelyn had received information that Uncle Jack would send someone to imitate a meal made by Mr. Alex.”
Alex smiled broadly. “They will not be able to perfectly imitate my homemade food because it uses secret spices that I created myself,” he said proudly. “For traditional food creators in Indonesia I apologize for transferring copyright to me.” Alex apologized in his mind.
Margaret and Evelyn were surprised to hear that, now they finally understood why Alex just built a Glass barrier between the Kitchen and the Restaurant room, it turns out that his food will not be easily imitated.
Margaret has not given up on working with Alex. “I will provide all the funds and Mr. Alex just need to teach the Chef we appointed your homemade food,” he said. “Dan... Mr. Alex is entitled to Own the Property Rights of the Restaurant by 30%.” He persuades Alex with the right of ownership, not buying his recipe because he believes Alex must have refused.
Alex did not immediately answer and thought this Property Rights might be the same as Stocks when on Earth. Having 30% Shares is indeed very tempting, Dividends will flow into his pocket every year.
Margaret believes Alex feels the offer is too small. “I'll talk to Grandpa to increase Mr Alex's Ownership Rights by 35%, how?” he asked with a worried facial expression, because if Alex asked for Ownership Rights too high then his Uncles would oppose this cooperation, because the Donovan Family Company never gave Ownership Rights to outsiders.
After Margaret spoke, the restaurant went quiet for quite a while. Alex was still pondering for quite a while, He was combining the information he learned while being a Prince and the information on Earth.
However, on Earth he is only a Chef and has never been involved in the Business World directly even though he has Thousands of Lot Shares in Mining Issuers that provide Dividends every year. “If I was the main character in a novel or Comics then I would be all-around and apply Earth technology here, but I am just an ordinary Man,” thought.
Alex also suggests that Margaret was actually good at business, it's just that the Donovan Family is too limiting it even just gives the bankrupt Transportation Company to manage so he can not show his business talent because the transportation business has mushroomed in the Grandland Continent.
“I have an idea and young lady Margaret can reject it if she does not agree, then we find another way that we can work together in the future,” says Alex already thinks he should take advantage of Margaret. “Just leave the business to the experts, then the money will flow into your pocket,” he thought while smiling cunningly.
Margaret nodded her head and looked at Alex intently, impatient to hear the idea she wanted to convey.
Evelyn frowned looking at Alex. “Did He really come from the slums? Why do I feel that his tone is so knowledgeable like Nobles or Entrepreneurs,” he thought.
“First disband the Transportation Company that Miss Margaret manages, then build a Restaurant.no-no, it is better to build the Company in the field of food only. However, Miss Margaret must be the Ownership of the new Company, perhaps granting 10% of the Proprietary Rights to the Donovan Family; let's say 10% that's money from the sale of the Transportation Company and I'm certainly quite 35% ha-ha-ha.” Alex laughed happily because if this cooperation is realized then only with the capital of the idea alone he will become a new rich person in an instant.
Evelyn was stunned to hear it. “That's a really good idea. If the young lady is excluded from the heir candidate of the Leader of the Donovan Family, then she remains independent because she has her own Company and is in spite of the shadows of the Donovan Family.”
Margaret also felt that what Alex said was very good. He did not reject the idea, only that he had to consult with his Grandfather first because there was no way he could sell the Donovan Family transportation Company without his Grandfather's permission even though the Company was close to bankruptcy.
“We will be back first Mr. Alex,” said Margareth standing up soon. “Please do not accept the offer of cooperation with other parties first, in the near future I will tell whether to accept or reject this offer of cooperation,” he said again.
“Yes, I'm not going anywhere kok, ha-ha-ha.” Alex joked as he held out a hand shake hands with Margaret.
Margaret and Evelyn then leave Sarah's Restaurant in a hurry, they don't even take the change after handing Sarah One Gold Coin.
“He-he-he... Sarah got the tip again,” she said laughing happily and instantly saved 650 Silver Coins that were not taken by Margaret.
Alex just smiled and immediately walked into the kitchen.
“Bos small... I came again,” said Uran smiling broadly greeting Sarah.
“The little boss was adorable once,” said Dardaran, a Uran colleague and this is his first time here. Uran forced him to eat here because he said the meat dishes here are very tasty, but they are quite expensive.
“Still quiet, yes... This restaurant should be promoting by inviting government officials to lunch for free,” said Delvon who was also forced by Uran to eat at Sarah's Restaurant.
Uran ignored the words of the two friends, without opening the menu list he immediately called Hannah and ordered Three Rendang and Three Crispy Chickens With Spicy Sambal.
While waiting for the dish to come, Uran and his colleagues joked with Sarah whose very funny tone was heard by the Three Dwarves.
...***...
Margaret did not return to the office of the transport company she managed. She asked Evelyn to bring her back to Donovan Castle.
Upon reaching the Castle, Margaret immediately headed for the tea garden's overgrown backyard. Donovan was picking tea there with the workers.
“I want to talk to you, Grandpa!” greet Margaret walked after Donovan who remained busy picking tea.
“Have you given up like your father or asked for extra funds?” sahut Donovan without looking at Margaret. “If you ask for funds then forget it, because the rules are clear and can not be changed again,” he said again.
“Not!” margareth said firmly. “I will sell Transportation Company and make a new Company.”
Donovan stopped picking tea leaves and looked at his granddaughter who was very ambitious to become a businessman. He even rejected the proposal of the young lord of the Hazel Empire and suddenly volunteered to succeed his father as the heir candidate of the Donovan Clan leader.
After gazing at Margaret, Donovan again picked the tea leaves without saying a word.
“The proceeds from the sale of the transportation company will be 10% Ownership Rights for the Donovan Family and the rest for me as a Controller as well as other investors.” Margaret explained again.
Donovan frowned because the proceeds from the sale of his company only get 10% Ownership Rights. He was sure that Margaret did not actually have the funds and the other investors were definitely under 10% of the transportation company's sales.
“Does he already think it is impossible to win against his Uncle and want to remain an Entrepreneur?” thought Donovan pondered for a moment. The corner of his lips emitted a faint smile. “What if your company fails, who will be responsible for losing the Donovan Family money?” He wondered if Margaret would keep making a new company or abandon her intentions because Margaret could not return the money.
Margaret was bluffing her teeth. He did not think about this because he felt that his cooperation with Alex would definitely work.
He took a deep breath and said, “I'm ready to be made into a political or business wedding tool!”
“Hmm?” Donovan looked at his grandson and did not expect Margaret to say so. He came back picking tea leaves and said, “As far as you go. Remember your time is three years away and your age is getting older, if you lose then only the old Widower wants to marry you!”
Margaret smiled brightly as she obtained permission from her Grandfather to sell the near-bankrupt Donovan County Transport Company, and Donovan did not refuse to take full control of his new company.
