Chapter 14 The Charm of Billiards

East Bank Town and West Bank Town are separated by a river. To the east bank town is East Bank Town, and to the west bank town is West Bank Town. There is a bridge connecting the two towns together, and this bridge makes the two towns close, almost like a town.

The Iron Eagle Bar in Yadak is located in Dongban Town. The bar is very close to the bridge, which is a golden location. On weekdays, many villagers from Westbank Town walk across the bridge and come to Yadak's bar to have fun.

At this time, a brand new pool table had been transported to the Iron Eagle Bar.

Bar owner Yadak pointed to a corner and said, "Press this thing over there, yes, that corner."

Yadak always felt that Phil deliberately found a group of extras to deceive him, and did not think that billiards could bring extra passenger flow to the bar, so when the pool table came, Yadak just threw the pool table into the corner casually.

Soon after, the bar opened and guests came one after another. Everyone drank and chatted as usual, and no one paid attention to the pool table in the corner.

"I've said a long time ago that those are actors. How could they attract so many customers with just one table and a few balls? Such a large table takes up space in the store. After two days, people will be taken away!" Yadak complained to himself, and then picked up the account book and ran to the warehouse behind to count the inventory.

Shortly after Yadak left, several young people in the town walked into the Iron Eagle Bar.

"It's still the bars in your East Bank Town are lively, there are not so many people in our West Bank Town."

"Yes, the Iron Eagle's wine has always been good, but the boss is a little too stingy."

"There is a table over there, let's go wherever we go!"

Several young people in the town walked towards an empty table, but one of them suddenly stopped and looked at the corner.

"Tom, what's wrong? Have you seen an acquaintance?" asked the partner next to him.

"Look over there, there is a pool table." The young man named Tom pointed to the corner.

"Billiard table? What is that?" another person asked.

"It's a very interesting game. I went to Luoye Town to deliver goods before and played it in the bar there once. I thought this thing was only available in Luoye Town, but I didn't expect that there would be billiards in our East Coast Town bar." Tom answered.

"That's a big table with a few balls on it. Is it fun?" the partner asked.

"That's natural. In Luoye Town, almost everyone plays this thing." Tom said and waved to his companion: "Let's go and play a few games, I'll teach you how to play!"

...

Yadak finished counting the inventory and walked out of the warehouse with the account book.

"There are a few more barrels of whiskey. There are more than 20 bottles of rum that have been stored for too long. I have to sell it quickly. There is also tea. However, tea is easy to store, so it should be no problem to keep it for a long time..."

"It's so beautiful!" A cheer interrupted Yadak's thoughts. Yadak looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that the corner was already full of people.

"What's going on? So many people! Are you going to fight?" Yadak was shocked and ran over quickly.

The voice came from the crowd again.

"You're so fucking bad. This ball is so close to the hole, you didn't score!"

"Don't look at the distance, but this ball is not easy to get. If you don't believe it, try it yourself."

"No problem, give me the club and I will teach you how to score!"

"How is it, you didn't score either! I've said a long time ago that this goal is not easy to score."

I saw the two people in front of the table talking and laughing, having fun, while the guests next to the table looked eager to try, and wanted to go up and try it.

This scene fell into Yadak's eyes, but it made him feel a little sad.

"I didn't expect that someone would play with this kind of rags!" Yadak snorted coldly, turned around and left with jealousy.

At the same time, in the bar in West Bank town opposite the river, there were also a few young people fighting fiercely at the billiard table, and there were also many people around who were watching the fun and wanted to try it out.

Whether it is Dong'an Town or Westan Town, it does not occupy a large area. The entertainment life in this world is too scarce. In such a small town, there is no other entertainment activity except eating and drinking, and there is no place to find a young lady. The appearance of billiards instantly filled the gap in entertainment activities, so in just a few days, billiards have become a well-known game in the town.

The same is true in other towns. People who do nothing after get off work flock to the bars, queuing for a long time just to play a few billiards. Even if you don’t have the chance to get started, standing next to you and watching others play ball is a pleasure.

As for those smart bar owners, they also realized the business opportunities. They knew that billiards could attract more customers for the bar, so the orders at the pool table flew towards Luoye Town like snowflakes.

...

"Master, we received another order for 10 sets of pool tables." Harry trotted over happily.

"Our inventory is almost sold, right? Let the workshop hurry up and recruit a few more carpenters. I guess the order will increase." Phil said.

Harry nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

"By the way, after we receive the payment, we will pay Peter's commission to let him see the money, so that he can help us with peace of mind." Phil said.

"Young Master, don't worry, I have given him the first batch of commissions. He is now full of energy. I heard that he is planning to go on a long trip and sell our pool table to the capital city." Harry responded.

"The King City is a big market. I heard that there are thousands of bars there! If each bar orders four pool tables from us, it will be four thousand orders, and it will take a long time to complete it." Phil began to calculate the profits in his mind.

Harry continued, "Master, there is another thing. We used to lend some pool tables to try for other bars. It has been a while now. Should we take back the pool tables we loaned out?"

"I remember promised that if the bars think billiards are useless, we will bring them back, and if the bars think billiards are useful, they will buy them. Didn't we buy the billiards tables we lent out at that time and there were bars?" Phil asked in surprise.

Harry took out the notebook and looked at it, and replied, "The Iron Eagle Bar in East Coast Town has not been bought yet, and the pool table we lent him has been there and has not been recovered."

"Iron Eagle Bar?" Phil frowned and thought for a while: "The boss seems to be Yadak. The first person to question us who asked the actor that day was this Yadak! I heard that this person is very stingy, probably because he is reluctant to spend money. If that's the case, you will ask someone to go to Dongban Town tomorrow and bring back the pool table!"
