After withdrawing his gaze from the man named Hank.
Charles recalled the recent date, then turned his attention to Ge Wense next to him: "Uncle Ge Wense, I heard that you recently purchased a medium-sized lumberyard on the outskirts of Corens?"
Upon hearing this question, Ge Wense raised his eyebrows instantly, lowered his voice with pride, and whispered in Charles's ear:
"right.
Because there is an abundance of bluegrass there.
Although that kind of wood is not valuable now, as far as I know it is a necessary raw material for a special fragrance.
And that kind of fragrance is a new product that was invented recently and has a wide range of effects.
Because it is a new thing, it is only spread in its birthplace, another continent, and has not yet spread to the vicinity of Galit Country.
So I took advantage of the information gap to buy the lumberyard at a very low price and asked workers to plant a large amount of blue oxwood.
In a few years, after those techniques are popularized here, the blue wood as a raw material will have just reached maturity, and it will be a huge fortune by then!"
After saying this, Ge Wense was a little worried that young people would be too impulsive and cause unnecessary trouble. He quickly added a sentence and taught: "Your father and I have also talked about this matter. In fact, he and I each
I have bought two or three lumber mills and are working hard to stock up on goods, so you should not step into this industry again.
Although each of our two families still has a lot of spare funds and can occupy more Lanximu production areas, our foundation is not enough and we can only maintain so much profit.
If you buy a few more lumber mills, your sudden increase in wealth may arouse the hatred of many people.
Cause good things to turn into bad things.
In this kind of wave, we can eat enough, but we must leave enough room for other forces so that they can also taste the sweetness. This is the tacit understanding shared by the upper class like us."
In this world, social classes have undergone several reforms.
However, the process of history is usually driven by a few people and created by the majority.
Due to their own education and vision problems, most of the roles of the 'minority' are played by the powerful.
Therefore, although the material and spiritual enjoyment of the common people at the bottom is much better than in ancient times, the superiors who are responsible for controlling the wheel of history are still as stable as Mount Tai.
Although the privileges have been weakened compared to ancient times, the most practical power has not been affected at all.
At most, they are just not acting as blatantly as before. As for the so-called equality of all people, just listen to it casually and don't take it too seriously.
Although the common people at the bottom have no room for advancement, it is very difficult for them to achieve real success.
Only a very lucky few can succeed in one fell swoop.
Most emerging families can only gain recognition from the upper class and become a class that is superior to others after several generations of accumulation.
Take the Lanximu mentioned by Ge Wense before. It is an opportunity for ordinary people to get rich. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining information, by the time ordinary people understand that those things are valuable, the resources will have long been exhausted.
It has been divided by the people above.
At most, there are just a few leftovers of soup and rice sitting there.
Therefore, for the vast majority of civilians, their life is basically to be a wage earner. Being rich and wealthy is no different from winning the lottery.
In this case, the solidification of class is extremely serious. Based on the idea of ​​​​not looking up and not looking down, various rules and tacit understandings are derived as time goes by.
At this moment, listening to Ge Wense's sincere warning, Charles was also very moved.
This is a very straightforward statement of experience, unless you treat it sincerely, otherwise you will never say it to outsiders.
After all, most people hope that others will be unlucky and not be as good as themselves.
Charles recalled his last life. Although his life was not bad, he still often felt anxious. Ge Wense looked a little serious and said to him: "I don't want to inquire about these things, but I heard about the machinery in the lumber mill."
The equipment doesn't seem to be very good, and there have been several safety accidents, so I wanted to give you a heads up.
In the past, it was easy to talk about that kind of thing. At most, it was just to give the family some settlement money. But during this time, I believe you should know some information about those ghosts, so in order to prevent accidents, you'd better dispose of the mechanical equipment.
, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will definitely be a big loss!"
After hearing this, Ge Wense frowned slightly.
Unlike the civilians who lived at the bottom and knew nothing, he knew exactly what those ghosts Charles was talking about.
That is a disaster that ordinary people have basically no way to resist.
And the breeding conditions for that kind of thing are usually various unexpected places.
So if there are a few more accidents in the lumberyard, it is really possible that those troublesome monsters will be born and turn the place into a dangerous place.
"I understand. To be on the safe side, I will have those mechanical equipment repaired or replaced."
After receiving the answer, Charles nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.
In the last timeline he experienced, the lumberyard had another worker die two months later due to the disrepair of its machinery and equipment.
The way to die is to fall directly into the machine.
The state of death can be described as horrific.
It turned into a disgusting object mixed with sawdust.
After the incident, within two days, a very troublesome evil spirit was born there.
Killed most of the workers in the lumberyard there.
After the situation occurred, the people above faced this situation and sent two rounds of special forces to deal with it, but they failed to solve it.
Instead, it made it even more vicious.
It completely turned that place into a dangerous place where both humans and animals died.
Although Charles was sure to deal with the evil spirit before it grew up, and even took the opportunity to earn a sum of system points, but considering his relationship with Ge Wense, he did not want to affect the other party for this.
After all, he knows where and when some of these evil spirits will be born, and his prey list is not short of this one.
As for killing all the conditions for the birth of evil spirits nearby and building a safe area for yourself.
Naturally, he had thought about this kind of thing before.
But in the end it still felt unrealistic.
Because as time goes by, as long as someone dies with resentment, evil spirits may be born.
And this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all.
If you have that kind of time, it would be better to use intelligence, complete some tasks, and earn some system points.
At least it can give yourself more power to protect yourself.
Of course, for those guys with great potential and particularly tricky abilities, he would still find ways to prevent their birth in advance and nip them in the bud.
After all, persimmons should be picked soft when pinched.
That kind of guy who has proven his ability in the previous life is not a good target to gain system points.
