Chapter 9 Supplier
After looking at the pick-ups present in the shop, he found that they were mostly luxury pick-ups and not those that matched the work of carrying a grocery's supplies.
So, he decided to do the payment for what he was going to buy first. He was buying twenty four Bentley Bentaygas. The total price was $15,609,576. Plus, he was buying a sports car, a continental GT whose price was $7,399,999.
For the shipping fee, a number plate, insurance and so on, jack paid $27,000. This was to make sure that it was going to be fast.
Then, there came the issue of customization. He wanted five of the Bentley Bentaygas to have the logo for his new enterprise. Of course, since the five vehicles would be in the grocery department, they would have a G.D added below the name Jackson Enterprise.
As for the others, Jack decided that they should have the logo for his brand. Of course, the logo wasn't out yet and he was going to look for a designer for it. Then, it would be sent to the clothing shop and the Bentley shop.
As for his sports car, there was nothing that needed to be added. He felt that it was okay the way that it was.
For the customization, it cost him a total of $149,500. This was for all the twenty four cars.
Of course, since he was going to use the one that was present in the shop currently, the customization would be done after the others were delivered.
It took more than an hour for all the procedures to be carried out. Immediately after that, Jack got out of the shop with the manager Evans Morris and the gleeful Philip under the envious and awed gazes of the other salespersons and those that were visiting the shop.
Jack had just spent a total of $23,186,075. This brought his balance to $28,429,436. This was just enough to ensure that the store was fully supplied with stock.
Now, his Jackson Grocery Department would only be left with the issue of getting the stock and expansion.

Since there was no vehicle present in the shop that could be used for the grocery delivery, he changed his destination to the available trucks shop. It was a freightliner shop.
He decided to leave his sports car and the bike at the Bentley shop as they left on the SUV. Since George was a delivery person before, he drove while Jack sat on the passenger's seat. Charles and Agnes both sat on the backseats.
After getting inside this car, he felt that there was no exaggeration when they talked about comfort in this Bentayga. He nodded in appreciation.
George's driving skills were good as he had gone to the driving school and he used to participate in racing before he became a deliveryman. Of course, it was only for a year and a half that he participated in racing.
It didn't take them that long to reach the shop that had trucks. The trucks were displayed in the showroom for people to admire.
He didn't want to wonder around so much as it was already getting close to lunch time. He had to complete things faster so that he could open the store on this very day. He found a cascadia freightliner. This truck was considered somehow big and at the same time not big.
Well, it could be said to be the appropriate size for a city. It wasn't like those cargo trucks that moved very long distances. It had refrigeration system, just what was needed. With this, he wouldn't have to worry about grocery items going bad.
He asked George if he could drive it and he said that there were only a few cars that he couldn't drive and a truck wasn't among them.
So, with a total cost of $419,350, he left the shop claiming that the truck would be taken later on or it would be delivered to the address that he would give if there would be a need for it to.
After they left the shop, Jack asked George for the place where they could get a supplier. George immediately drove the SUV to the outskirts of the city. Of course the area that they headed towards wasn't like yellow street.
Although this part of the city wasn't congested by office buildings, he could see that the area was clean. This was the industrial side of the city.
It wasn't long before they arrived in front of a seven story building that had a large base area. There were several trucks and pick-ups that were going to and fro here.
After entering the gate, they were invited politely into the waiting area. After all, the Bentayga was a high profile vehicle and as a result, they were treated with respect.
Since George had been here before, he was familiar with the procedures. Before long, they met with the manager in charge of the sales department, Kevin.
"Welcome Mr. Jack." Since he was told not to use the Alfonso name, Jack decided not to use it at all.
"I would like to have a cooperation with your company. Of course, the cooperation is for the supply of the grocery products." Jack went straight to the point.
"Hmm, the amount of stock that you want is what will determine the cooperation." Kevin replied.
"The amount of stock hasn't been fully determined but what you can be sure of, is that it cannot decrease but it will keep on increasing." Jack said. He hadn't thought of this point when he came.
But still, he was going to expand the business further and there was no need for him to worry about the stock that he would be getting being excess.
"Now, that's a problem. You know, to sign a contract, we will need to get a figure on which we can both agree on." Kevin frowned after seeing that Jack hadn't even prepared anything.
"Well, this can be said to be the preparation. During this week, the stores that I am intending on starting will be opened. So, that's the reason as to why the stock isn't determined yet." Jack then went on to explain that he was opening grocery stores all-over the city.
After hearing this, Kevin's tensed brows slightly relaxed. He then asked, "So, what amount of stock would you like to start with?"
"I want to start with half a million, probably if there's any in your warehouse I can take it now. As for the others, I will inform you on when they're needed." Jack replied.
After hearing that the initial amount of stock that Jack wanted was going to cost $500,000, and this was the initial stock, Kevin was relieved. 'It seems that he's not here to joke,' he thought to himself.
After they came to an agreement, the contract was drafted. The contract of supply was that the maximum stock that would be supplied would be worth $30M in a three months.
This was the time that Jack was going to starting and could be said that it would be a testing period. Of course, Jack wasn't worried about losses at all. After all, with the Hundred Times Income Multiplier System, the income would definitely be higher than the losses. But, he wasn't ready to run a business at a loss.
After they were done with the contract, jack brought them to the store that he'd purchased the previous day.
The three raised their brows. They were wondering to themselves, 'This guy is so rich, why would he need to open a store in such a backward place.'
But, they didn't dare to ask the question out loud. So, they followed Jack into the store. Although the store wasn't that big, it was decent in the street that they were in.
Jack turned and looked at them. Then, he said, "If you guys work well, then I might make you the leaders of the branches of the surrounding streets. This is the benefit of being my first employees."
"As for the salary, don't worry about it. The better you perform, the better your salary. So, don't worry about the figures that are written on the contracts." Jack ignored their astonished gazes and added fuel to the already burning flame.
"Thank you boss." The three thanked him in unison. They clearly knew that their qualifications weren't that high. So, for them to be in charge of an entire street was something big, not to mention a few other streets.
Jack nodded and said to George, "The truck will be delivered here in about thirty minutes. You'll go to Pristine Agriculture Products (PAP) to get the stock that I just paid for."
"Yes boss." George replied. His excitement couldn't be hidden at all. After all, he had just driven an SUV and he was going to drive a popular truck, cascadia. He liked racing and thus was a car enthusiast.
Jack then looked at Agnes and Charles and said, "I guess you two know what to do?"
"Yes boss." The two nodded in reply.
Jack then left them the seven thousand that he'd earned the previous day for them to get lunch as well as for change. He then left telling them that he would be back before the closing time of the store.
He wasn't worried about the issue about the prices as the logbook was there. He had told the truck shop manager that George was the one that would receive the cascadia freightliner.
Now, he was going to take his meal before going to the real estate agencies to get himself a good house. He left with the Bentayga. After all, his bike and the sports car were left at the Bentley shop.
