Phil carefully read the contents on two parchment papers again, and after confirming that, he signed his name on it.

"The contract is in duplicate, and we each share one of them." Phil handed one of them to Peter, then stretched out his right hand and continued: "Mr. Peter, happy cooperation."

After hesitating for two seconds, Peter finally reached out his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

Watching Peter leave, Phil finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his plan took another step forward.

While closing the contract, Harry said, "Master, when you shook hands with him just now, he seemed very reluctant. I think he is still hostile to you."

Phil clicked the picture: "Of course I know, after all, we were competitors, and he wanted to swallow my bar, and I almost made his bar go bankrupt. The grudge between us cannot be resolved in a short while."

"Young master, since that's the case, why do you still have to cooperate with him? I believe that even if we don't need him, we can sell the pool table." Harry asked.

"How many bar owners do you know? How many bar owners do I know? In the bar industry, when it comes to personal connections, you and I are not as good as Peter Harry. You should know that doing business requires connections, and this is exactly what we lack, and that Peter can help us make up for this defect." Phil said with a smile.

"If we have connections, we can slowly establish them. I can go to other bars in town to find their boss to sell them, or to the bars in town. In short, we don't have to rely on that Peter, let alone get a share of him." Harry said stubbornly.

"Harry, you can't do it slowly!" Phil said, picking up a billiard ball, and then said, "Look, this is just an ordinary wooden ball, which can be done by any carpenter. There is also that billiard table, just a larger table and dig a few holes. Do you think this kind of thing has technical content? Believe me, once this thing spreads, there will be countless carpenter workshops to start producing billiard balls and billiard tables, and there will be many businessmen willing to make this money. And by that time, when we go to the front of a strong competitor, we will become a small shrimp in the fish pond. Will the money be earned by us?"

After Phil finished speaking, he threw the billiards to Harry and continued: "So we have to sell as many pool tables as possible in a short period of time. We must occupy the market as soon as possible, and at the same time make the first pie and complete the accumulation of capital. By the time other businessmen also enter this industry, we not only gained a firm foothold, but also gained a fortune. It is also because of this that I will find Peter to cooperate with him, and we need his connections."

"But Master, I always feel that Peter is unbelievable." Harry said.

"Do you think I trust him?" Phil smiled slightly and continued: "The mall is like a battlefield, even more cruel and more intriguing than the battlefield. Peter is willing to bow to us because he calculated that this deal can make a lot of money. The cooperation between us is actually a community of interests. Two originally hostile people come together because of interests, and naturally they will part ways because of interests. Perhaps this day will not be too long."

Harry was stunned for a few seconds, and finally said, "Young Master, you are really mature than before. I think even when the master was alive, he was not as thoughtful as you."

"Of course, I am professional in doing business! No one can cheat me in the business world!" Phil said confidently.

...

Before the sun set, young people from the town flocked to the pool table.

"Gentlemen, you see it. This is the attraction of billiards. All the young people in this town are attracted by billiards. If your bar is willing to introduce billiards, they will definitely attract more customers." Phil worked hard to promote the billiards table to the people around him.

Beside Phil was the owner of the bar in the nearby town, all of whom were invited by Peter.

Peter's connections in the bar industry did play a big role. If Phil did it himself, I don't know how long it would take to invite so many bar owners.

Several bar owners looked at the noisy crowd at the pool table and showed an envious expression. They also longed for their bar to be so lively and so many guests. Some also showed doubts or even disdainful expressions, obviously they did not believe that the "return of the hero" business is really so good.

Finally, one of the bar owners pointed to the young people in the town at the pool table and said, "Phil, these people are not the extras you invited, right?"

Phil turned his head and looked at him. He was talking with a pale middle-aged man, and he was also very thin. He looked like a patient, but his eyes were bright and he looked too smart.

Phil recognized this man, his name was Yadak, and he was the owner of a bar called "Iron Eagle" in a nearby town.

"Yadak, why do you think so? These people are residents of our town, how could they be extras? They really like billiards, so they come here. If you don't believe it, you can ask them." Phil said with a smile.

"Maybe you have already discussed the lines." Yadak curled his lips.

Next to him, Peter immediately said, "Yadak, I can prove that these people are really not extras. My bar also has a pool table, which is also attractive to many customers. You can go and see it at any time. Even if you don't believe in Phil, you should believe me!"

Yadak just said "happy" and didn't say anything else. It could be felt that he did not trust Peter, but he just didn't say it explicitly.

Phil waved his hand indifferently: "I can understand. We just met, and it is normal for lack of trust. I think besides Yadak, you must also have doubts, thinking that these are the extras I have found, creating a good business look, with the purpose of buying you the pool table. So in order to eliminate your doubts, I have a compromise."

"Let me tell me." Yadak said.

"I can lend you a set of billiards and pool tables first, and you can place them in your own bar. If you can bring you more customers, it will not be too late to buy them. If the pool table is not effective, I will pull the pool table back and you will not lose a penny. You should be able to accept my plan, right?" Phil asked sincerely.

"If you don't have to spend money, it doesn't matter if you try it."

"It's just a table that occupies a piece of space. My bar doesn't have the same table."

"Or try it first, if it's useless, let him pull the pool table away."

"Free trial, don't be idle!"

...

After seeing off the bar owner, Peter seemed a little discouraged. He said helplessly: "I thought I could sell at least a dozen pool tables, but I didn't expect that even a single table was sold, but instead I gave a lot of them."

"This is not a gift, it is for customers to try it out. If customers use it well, they will naturally come to buy it." Phil said with a relaxed look on his face.

"I'm afraid they will use it for nothing and won't really pay a penny. These guys have always been inexpensive! Especially that Yadak, who is famous for taking advantage of it." Peter said with disdain.
