Chapter 153: Startup Capital Funds

"Thank you for your praise and valuable opinion, Grandpa." Elysia conveyed her joy with a smile.

For some reason, she felt happy. The pizza they made together could be said to be delicious by Pope, even though at first she wasn"t so sure.

"Hahaha... You have got my opinion, now continue with your dinner. Ah, two pizzas for me are gone without me knowing it..." Alexander seemed to want an extra portion for him, even though he conveyed it indirectly.

Ella had predicted that. She immediately returned to the kitchen and took two pizzas. "Hmm, hmm, grandfather, here"s an extra portion for you, we know you"ll want more."

"Ahem, as expected of my good granddaughter. Humm, different scents again, these have different variations, great." Another pizza arrived, Alexander was ready to eat this special dinner again.

"Hehe... Now we can have dinner together properly." Evelyn giggled with amus.e.m.e.nt.

All of them clasped their hands together in prayer, the grat.i.tude and blessings for the delicious food they would eat. Then, they ate their meal in the warmth of togetherness.

"Ahem, apart from this pizza thing, this will be the first time for me to have dinner with a pet. The white cat is too smart than a normal cat. Hmm, Vanessa, right?" Alexander spoke after wiping his mouth with a tissue.

"Un, that"s her name. Um, did Vanessa do something wrong, Grandpa?" Elysia put Vanessa in front of her. She made sure Vanessa was still covered by the energy blanket that prevented her aura and magic from being detected.

"Ah, no, that"s nothing. Sometimes cats symbolize luck for humans, but that"s if the cat is native to this continent. Is your pet cat a descendant of a Spirit Beast or above, Elysia?" Alexander waved his hand lightly, and there was no other meaning from what he said earlier.

"En, I thought so too." Elysia gently nodded because it was most likely correct.

"Oh ho-ho, that white cat can be your companion in the future. Take good care of her, and she will take care of you in return, that cat can also be your contracted beast." Alexander conveyed his wise advice, then the girl nodded and thanked him.

"Nee, grandfather, I have a proposal and an offer, are you interested?" Ella sat up straight, put her hands on the table, and looked at her grandfather.

"Hmm? An offer? No longer a request or wish? Okay, I"m all ears." Feeling that something new was coming from his granddaughter, Alexander immediately became interested.

"So, like this... You know, the pizza is Ely"s idea and creation that has a high selling value, that"s new and great. If we... Um, that"s Ely, me, and Eve will start our business... Are you willing to invest in us?" Ella was a little confused in choosing words in business matters. She was not very good at it.

Even so, she continued her sentence because she had already spoken to Elysia about this. Ella to her grandfather and Evelyn to her father, the two girls want to get themselves and their backgrounds involved, to help out only for Elysia and her promising idea.

"What? Hoho ahaha... I think you want to talk about something quite serious, Ella. Hum, my good granddaughter and her friends want to try something called a business, hmm... Alright, take this, you can use this for your business capital." Alexander was slightly taken aback. These little girls were utterly unexpected, but that was a good thing. He laughed happily at it.

He took a gold card from his robe and put it near Ella"s hand. If this were really business, whatever the outcome and whatever the process, he knew it would work and be successful.

These girls couldn"t fail if the product they were going to sell was something like what they just ate for dinner a moment ago, not while he was there to help these good girls from the background.

It was a gold card with a logo like the Holy Church"s hallmark, and with the magnificent VIP 1 printed on it. That card became the center of attention of the somewhat clueless girls.

"It"s a VIP 1 gold card in the Holy Bank, that"s the form of my investment you girls want. That card is worth one hundred thousand platinum coins, use it wisely in your pizza business." Alexander explained kindly.

Ella and Evelyn were a bit surprised, but they felt so happy, the other girl became the most shocked and became dazed for a moment.

One hundred thousand platinum coins were simply given to them as if it didn"t mean much. The Pope invested in them without thinking.

Why was it too easy to get capital funds in the supercla.s.s family even though the goal might be just to play business? Elysia wondered in her mind.

"O, one hundred thousand platinum coins... Are you really investing that much, even though you don"t know what we"re going to do, Grandpa?" Elysia stuttered a little in expressing what she wanted to know.

"I could have given you more, but that"s for later. For the opening, just use this hundred thousand first. Then for you, Evelyn girl, I doubt you won"t get your family involved in this business game of you three." Alexander stroked his proud beard. It was a small amount of money.

Evelyn excitedly nodded because it couldn"t be more than right. She would contact them as soon as the day after tomorrow arrived when they returned to the academy day.

Meanwhile, Elysia gulped her saliva and spoke no further in that regard. It was a little difficult for her to understand the way of thinking of filthy rich people, perhaps beyond too rich.

Ella never had much money because she didn"t spend much money, and she just needed to ask her grandfather if she wanted something. However, the amount he finally gave to them, just because of her proposal was unexpected, it was enormous.

It seemed the girl who requested that didn"t really understand how much a hundred thousand platinum coins were worth. Ella just smiled silly and conveyed sweet words of grat.i.tude to her grandfather.

"Oho hoho, well then, I have something I need to finish in my private room. You girls can enjoy your time here, see you tomorrow." Alexander got up from the chair. He was satisfied with many things.

"Ah, grandfather, are you continuing to research that thing again?"

"Yes, I still feel curious about it. The wise will search for knowledge, and find the ultimate truth." After saying that to his granddaughter, Alexander walked away. There was still a lot of homework that had not been done.

"Don"t sleep too late, grandfather. Tomorrow is a Blessing Day." Ella didn"t forget to convey her concern right before her grandfather walked away.

"Hum." The brief confirmation followed by a nod, Alexander immediately walked out of the room.

"Yay! Ely, look, my grandfather knows better than us. He invests without hesitation, and we can start our pizza business at any time." Ella immediately got up from her chair and quickly sat down beside Elysia.

"Um, yeah, he knows very well, and it"s only because of you, Ella. He trusts you with that nominal, don"t disappoint him." Elysia smiled slightly and nodded.

"Eh? It"s not just me, okay? It"s us, I"ve said it before, right?" Ella confirmed the wrong mention. She asked for confirmation from Evelyn.

"Un, that"s us. Wait until the first day of the week, I"ll drag my father to support our business with funds. After that, we can start our business whenever we feel ready." Evelyn nodded with ambition for future expectations.

"Okay, we"ll talk about that later when we already know how business and company work. The profit sharing will also be discussed before we start. You are the owner of the capital, the investor on behalf of your family..." Elysia was a little confused about where to start. She didn"t know much about how business works in this world. She had to dig up more information in this regard as soon as possible.

"Ella and I are investors? Erm, that"s not quite right, Ely. We will also help you. The Mitch.e.l.l Family and the Celestine Family will be our funders, the three of us will be founders. They are funders, and we are founders, okay?" Evelyn didn"t seem to like it. She immediately broke it down into something more pleasant to hear.

"Yes, that"s right. I want to know what it"s like to look for profit in a business, just like Miss Rosa. I"m sure our pizza business will be successful, we can do this and that too... Kya..." Ella became enthusiastic as if she wanted to quickly start opening their shops and business.

"Um, do both of you have any business insight? Or any business knowledge?" Getting an idea, Elysia immediately asked two girls who seemed to know more than her.

They appeared knowledgeable and insightful, but sadly they were as clueless as her. Evelyn and Ella shook their heads with silly, slightly awkward smiles.

"Ah, um, okay... We do need some business knowledge first, before all. Miss Rosa might be able to help out with some tips and advice." Elysia let out a soft breath.

She couldn"t take advantage of her business knowledge if she didn"t know a lot about things that might be different from Earth. This was the first time she had received a slap of startup capital funds of this size.

They would no longer build small businesses considering their funders were the most influential supercla.s.s families on the continent. That could be Pizza Enterprise, Pizza Franchisor, and many more things that might be planned and implemented.
