Phil finally confirmed that there is no sports in this magical world. There is no basketball, football, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, rugby, etc.

Phil was not surprised by this result. Even on Earth, modern sports were born after the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Sports such as basketball and modern football have only been popular all over the world. Although the European Football League is so popular now, these people didn’t know where to dig coal two hundred years ago! With the technological level of this magical world, it is normal that there is no various ball sports.

In the magic world, if two people want to compete, the best way is to go to the arena to fight, just like gladiators in the ancient Colosseum. If you want to be more civilized, you can also release magic at the target to compete with whose magic is more harmful.

As the old servant Harry said, the only thing that can be barely called "competitive sports" in this world is probably arm wrestling and tug of war.

"Big business opportunity!" Phil's eyes flashed, and he had a premonition that a mountain of gold was right in front of him.

There is no sports in the magic world, nor a sports industry. For Phil, a tycoon in the sports industry, this is a virgin land with countless resources buried, full of infinite business opportunities, waiting for him to dig.

In an instant, Phil outlined a future development plan in his mind.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Phil's thoughts. Phil raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties walking in. The middle-aged man was not tall, his beard was very delicate, and his hair was a little bit small. He probably would have been bald in a few years, but the middle-aged man's figure was maintained well and he did not feel greasy at all.

"Old Harry, I've been waiting for your news." The middle-aged man walked straight towards the old servant Harry, and then said, "Is this bar still sold? The price I offered is very sincere."

When Harry saw the middle-aged man, his expression was a little bad. He lowered his voice and said to Phil: "Master, this person is Peter, and he opened the Triumph Bar next door."

"That's our competitor! What's going on with selling bars he just said?" Phil asked.

"Young Master, you were injured before. Because you didn't have the money to treat you, you planned to sell the tavern to raise medical expenses for you. Peter is the buyer of the bar." Harry said, showing a look of wanting to speak but stopping.

Phil noticed Harry's strange expression and asked, "It's not just that simple, right?"

"Young Master, the price he offered is relatively low, 30% lower than the normal estimate." Harry replied.

"It's 30% lower, so it's definitely not something you can sell." Phil said.

"Actually, the original price was not the third percent, but at that time, you were injured, and we urgently needed money, and I couldn't find other buyers for a while, so he lowered the price by 30 percent." Harry continued to explain.

"It turns out that I want to take advantage of others' danger and try to lower the price." Phil just smiled, but didn't look very angry. When talking about business, this behavior of taking advantage of others' danger is immoral, but it is a common method for businessmen. Phil was also a successful entrepreneur. He has struggled in the market for so many years and has seen even more despicable methods. He is even more common for this low-end technique.

Peter, the middle-aged man opposite, was a little impatient. He urged: "Harry, are you still selling this bar? If you hesitate, the price I offer may be lower."

Old Harry did not answer, but looked at Phil, who stood up unswervingly: "Is Peter? I can answer you clearly that this bar will not be sold to you."

"Who are you?" Peter looked at Phil.

"He is Master Phil, and this bar belongs to him." Harry next to him answered.

"You are the useless young master of the Knight family? I heard that you have studied at Kingdom Magic Academy for ten years, but you are still just a junior magician?" Peter looked at Phil with disdain, and then continued, "I know, you were injured not long ago. It seems that your injury has healed. Is it up to you to decide here now?"

Phil nodded: "Yes, it's up to me."

"Okay, I might as well say that your broken tavern will only become less valuable. It's better to sell it as soon as possible. I bought it now and I'm helping you!" Peter said.

Phil sneered and sarcastically said, "Download 30% of the price, or are you helping me? You are so kind."

"Your noble young masters like you don't know how to do business at all. Your business is getting worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer customers. When there are no customers at all, how much more do you think you can sell it? It's better to take advantage of the fact that there are still some old customers who are willing to go to and sell it early to cash out, and you won't lose all your money in the future. In this way, I can raise the price a little bit." Peter said.

"You are quite business-minded." Phil suddenly felt that he underestimated this competitor.

Phil was once a successful big entrepreneur, so he was naturally familiar with commercial mergers and acquisitions. When he was on Earth, he had acquired some small sports brands to expand his strength. Of course, buying a company directly would be much easier than reopening a company, and it could save a lot of costs invisibly. Therefore, in many cases of commercial mergers and acquisitions, those acquired companies were obviously insolvent, but they could still sell at a good price.

Peter is probably in this mentality when he wants to acquire "Hero Returns", he is probably in this state of mind. "Hero Returns" is a ready-made bar, and it has been open for many years. There are many old customers. Almost everyone in the town has visited "Hero Returns". Even in the surrounding towns, many people know "Hero Returns". Peter wants to expand his bar business and buy "Hero Returns" directly, which is definitely more cost-effective than opening a new bar.

"Although the technology in this world is backward, people are not stupid. If you want to make a career in this world, you cannot take it lightly!" Phil said in his heart.

...

Peter left after saying a few harsh words, with nothing more than words like "The hero will go bankrupt if it won't take long to return."

Seeing Peter leave, Old Harry breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, I'm really worried that you will sell the 'Return of Heroes'."

"You said that this is the last property of the Knight family, and I'm reluctant to sell it." Phil said with a smile.

"Young Master, you have changed, you are different from before." Old Harry suddenly said.

"Where is different?" Phil asked.

Old Harry thought for a while and answered: "If you were said to be a 'bad young master' in the past, you would definitely fight, but today you are not angry, but you are also very calm."

"Many problems cannot be solved by force. Business matters must be solved by commercial means." Phil answered.

"Young Master, you are really mature than before. If the master had spirit in heaven, he would definitely feel relieved." Old Harry sighed to the sky.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I have to settle the bar problem first and find a few big tables for me. The surface should be very flat and there should be fewer pieces of wood." Phil said.

"Young Master, what are you looking for these things?" Old Harry asked with confusion.

Phil pointed to the empty space in the bar and continued, "Well, how can there be no billiards! I want to make a pool table."
