No wonder since the end of the third year, Claude has never heard from Maria on the front line.
There was no reply to Madam’s letter or even the greeting letter. I originally thought it was because the military postal department and Claude were isolated from the rear at the front, but now it seems that is not necessarily the case. It’s just that Madam Maria doesn’t know how to give.
Claude wrote back because she didn't know if her sister Anna had ever mentioned this to Claude, and she would feel ashamed if she did.
Her Aizizier Tinger's sister Anna's sister Anna was seriously injured on the spot. This can only be said to be deserved. But Anna is a daughter -in -law she wants.
Look at her, your son with such a character wants to harm my sister. This is simply too much. But her daughter Christie took the opportunity to cause trouble and tried to seize the cabin and three hundred dollars she gave to Claude.
He drove his mother, sister and brother out of the Norman Forest Farm.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Claude was attached to the Normanry family and got what he is today with the care of Madam Maria. Only then could the Field family get out of the shadow of Mr. Morsan's suicide by jumping off the building and become prosperous again, and finally become prosperous again.
At least that's what her two children thought. But in fact, Mrs. Maria knew in her heart that she and Claude were just equal partners, and maybe she got more benefits from Claude.
This is probably the reason why Mrs. Maria did not write to Claude again later, asking for his guidance in the management of commercial and real estate companies. She did not have the face to ask Claude for help. Her two children did
Everything was almost repaying kindness with revenge, which made her feel very disappointed in her two children, and at the same time, she completely lost confidence in Claude's ability to serve her family in the future.
As for Claude, he was very proud of what his sister Anna did and did not regret that she beat up Lady Maria's eldest son Hettinger. Anyway, in his heart, that guy dared to beat
It was his idea to beat his sister, and the beating was too light. It was best to break his limbs. At the same time, he was very happy that he had decided not to join Madam Maria. Fortunately, he went to be a soldier.
, did not become a retainer of the Normanry family.
It is true that Mrs. Maria is a good person, a trustworthy friend, and takes good care of her family. But just as she was worried about at the beginning, if she joins the Normanry family, she will also be driven by her two children.
, this is what the proud and arrogant Claude cannot bear. He will naturally repay Madam Maria for her teaching and care in the future, but this does not mean that her two children can ride as they please.
on one's own head.
"Are you listening to me? Brother..."
Claude came back to his senses: "Anna, keep talking, I'm listening..."
It was the third year after the war broke out. For White Deer City, which was undergoing expansion projects, except for those families who had received conscription orders, the impact of the war was very small. Instead, because the Storm Fleet opened the way to Nubisia,
The new route of 6 has shown a lot of vitality, and the business is extremely prosperous. It has become the number one cargo distribution center for specialties from the Nubicia continent. There is an endless flow of commodity transactions between the two continents, and the area is prosperous.
.
Because of this, investors and businessmen from all over the kingdom came one after another, hoping to get a share of this commercial hot spot. The highest record ever was that thirteen new trading houses were established in Bailu City within a month. They
They have invested countless funds to participate in the ocean trade between the two continents. Every day, merchant ships loaded with goods go to Nubicia Continent, and there are also cargo ships from Nubicia Continent docking...
This is also the reason why Viscount Felidos, the general manager of White Deer City, announced that he would expand White Deer City three times. But at the end of the year, a real business giant from the royal capital appeared in White Deer City. This business group named Fenix
, they started a bloody storm in the shopping mall as soon as they arrived in Bailu City. Nearly sixty small and medium-sized commercial banks were annexed by them, and the remaining more than ten large commercial banks had to cooperate with them.
In just half a year, this business group called Fenix has mastered the pricing power of goods from two continents. All specialties from Nubisia Continent and commodities sent to Nubisia Continent are traded.
It all needs to go through their review before it can be completed. Any ocean-going merchant ship that does not get their permission will not be able to dock in White Deer City, and will even be detained by the warships of the Storm Fleet in the name of a smuggling ship.
"...Even Uncle Lubwell's family business was forcibly bought into 30% of the shares by this Fenix business group..." said my sister Anna.
"Does Chief Felidos not care about it?" Claude asked, feeling horrified in his heart as to where this Fenyx business group came from and how capable it was.
My sister Anna curled her lips: "Does he dare to take care of it? The Fenyx Merchant Group is said to be a joint venture of a group of nobles in the royal capital. I suspect that Chief Felidos also holds a share in it. What's more, you don't have a stake in it."
I know that the two princes and princesses are standing up for the Fenyx Merchant Group. The second prince, His Highness Widrick, and the third princess, Her Royal Highness Adelina, both came to White Deer City and declared that the Fenyx Merchant Group advocates free commerce and trade.
They came to promote the kingdom’s commercial trade exhibition with the Nubisia continent, and came for a better commercial exhibition in White Deer City...
Phew, they didn't blush when they said this. In fact, they came here just to monopolize the trade between the two continents and monopolize huge profits. Many people in Bailu City knew that many people were unwilling to cooperate with them during those six months.
The cooperating trading houses have been attacked either openly or covertly. Either they were raided by Bailu City officials for tax evasion, or their caravans or merchant ships had problems or accidents. Only by compromising with the Fenix Merchant Group can they get the benefits.
Relief. It was during a surprise inspection that Uncle Lubiwell's family business firm finally agreed to the Fenix Merchant Group's request for a shareholding..."
Claude sneered. These are the business aristocrats that Captain Durrioro called. In fact, their practices are no different from those of the old aristocratic families. They are just the same hyenas who pursue monopoly profits. Their so-called business
Freedom is actually their own freedom of trade, and there is no way for other small businessmen to survive.
Originally, the Fenyx Merchant Group had no connection with the Field family, and the Field family did not engage in cross-sea trade. What the Fenyx Merchant Group wanted was to monopolize the commodity trade and pricing transportation between the two continents, which would have a negative impact on the residents of Bailu City.
It didn’t have much impact on my life. But the problem was that the four buildings that Claude left to his sister Anna for future dowry were in a great location. They were right in front of the naval base and were not under the jurisdiction of the naval base.
It is also very close to the naval base and forms a small neighborhood at the intersection of the main street.
Therefore, the Fenix Merchant Group took a fancy to these four buildings at a glance and planned to use them as their business group's headquarters in White Deer City, and also to house the families of those members of the business group stationed in White Deer City. They found their sister Anna and said
These four buildings were purchased at a high price of three thousand gold crowns.
Of course, my sister Anna refused. Claude originally spent more than 4,600 gold crowns to purchase the land and build a house. Now Fenyx Business Group wants to use 3,000 gold crowns to purchase it. Isn't this bullying others?
But the Fenix Business Group was still convincing. They compared the house prices in White Deer City before it was upgraded to a city. Compared with the prices at that time, three thousand gold crowns was indeed a high price. But these four buildings were newly built.
Yes, the price of the land had already doubled several times when Claude purchased it.
My sister Anna does not want to sell these four buildings, but the Fenix business group has been pestering them. It is not difficult for them to force the Field family to sell these four new buildings. The two girls in the family are old and young.
Small, and a little brat who hasn't grown up, just using some tricks is enough to make them surrender.
It's just that the Fenix Business Group didn't expect that the Field family has a lot of popularity in White Deer City. The confidence is still there, and ordinary dirty methods can't be used at all. They found a few thugs to intimidate them, but these thugs were killed.
The neighbors beat them up. They wanted the authorities to come forward to cause some trouble, but the Field family had the support of Uncle Thomas, who was a national congressman, and they also had the affection of Chief Felidos. After all, Mr. Felidos was a gram.
Lord's recommender for enlisting in the army. Before Claude came back, Chief Felidos had to take care of the orphans and widows of the Field family. Otherwise, if this matter spread, it would have a great impact on his reputation...
The Fenix Merchant Group belatedly investigated the details of the Field family and discovered that the brother Claude who went to serve as a soldier and the sister Anna were both pharmacy students of Baroness Maria of the Royal Capital. They
Unexpectedly, it was not discovered that sister Anna had fallen out with Madam Maria's two children, and even the land deeds to the cabin and forest farm were returned to the Normanli family. The excuse for sister Anna to move back to the big red brick house was that the city was busy and would be convenient for her brother next year.
Blovik is in the first grade of elementary school.
So the Fenyx Business Group asked General Felidos and Uncle Rubwell to come forward to negotiate with Anna and be willing to pay a high price to buy these four new buildings. However, her mother could no longer bear the pressure and moved out of the forest farm and broke away from the asylum of the Normanli family.
She became uneasy, thinking that not selling the four new buildings would bring disaster to the family. Uncle Rubwell and Uncle Thomas also came to persuade her that there was no need to hold on to the four new buildings.
Even if I get help from Madam Maria, it is only for a short time, and this favor becomes thinner and thinner the more I use it.
After all, the Fenyx business group has a deep foundation, and the second prince and third princess are behind it. It is hard to say whether Baroness Maria is willing to offend them. So after consideration, her sister Anna agreed to sell these four new buildings.
Just ask for a fair price.
With the help of Uncle Rubwell and Uncle Thomas, Steward Felidos also said a few words of kindness to his sister Anna, and finally agreed that the Fenix Merchant Group would purchase the four properties in Anna's name for a high price of eight thousand gold crowns.
A new building.
"So the only residential real estate our family owns now is this big red brick house?" Claude asked. He himself found it ridiculous. He worked hard for more than half a year before joining the army and worked hard to earn money for his family.
I got a big family fortune, thinking that my family could spend their whole life without any worries. But after five years of hard work on the battlefield, when I came back, I found that the only thing left in my family was this big red brick house.
Claude was not angry that the four new buildings were bought by the Fenyx business group. After all, these business nobles calculated a fair price, and his sister Anna did not suffer any loss. This was also a loss to Uncle Rubywell.
With the help of Uncle Thomas, as well as the affection of Chief Felidos and Lady Maria, the Fenyx business group does not dare to go too far. If you change it to someone with no background, your family will be ruined in minutes...
At that time, Claude only wanted his sister to have a stable share of the family business, so that she could live a prosperous life as a renter in the future. If something happened to him on the battlefield, his family would not have to worry about their livelihood. But he forgot
, or maybe I have little knowledge. In this era of the world, letting my sister Anna own these four new buildings is like holding money in a busy city. She can easily become the object of others' covetousness. Fortunately, I have made some arrangements, and the family is still in Bailu City.
With some human connections, I finally passed this test safely.
"In addition to this big red brick house, I also bought some forest farms..." My sister Anna secretly looked at Claude's face and said.
"Buy a forest farm, why buy a forest farm?" Claude was stunned and didn't know why.
In fact, after her sister Anna moved back here, she found that it is more convenient to practice magic in the forest farm. It is quiet, no one else is around, and it is not easy to be discovered. Another thing is that she can open a medicinal field in the forest farm and plant some herbs, which is very helpful for her to study pharmacy.
, and at the same time, it can also reduce the cost of purchasing medicinal herbs. Claude understands that he wasted a lot of money when he was doing pharmaceutical experiments.
"Then how many forest farms have you bought?" Claude asked, and his sister Anna's answer made him dumbfounded.
After selling four buildings, her sister Anna had money in her hands, but she was unwilling to store the funds in the National Bank for nothing. Bank deposits in this era did not have interest, but there were no custody fees. People used their money to
Storing it in a bank is mainly for peace of mind.
In addition to the more than 3,000 gold crowns in the bank account that Claude gave her before, sister Anna has a huge sum of more than 10,000 gold crowns in her hands. According to her sister's calculations, even if the current Bailu City Zhou Dynasty
The price of the forest has doubled, with four to five gold crowns per acre. She can definitely buy a forest of about 2,000 acres with 20 hectares, which is enough to establish a medium-sized family forest farm.
Her younger sister Anna set her sights on the area around the Norman Forest Farm, where there are three small private forest farms of several hundred acres and a public forest farm of nearly a thousand acres. If they were all acquired together, the total area would be almost 20 acres.
hectares of mountain woodland. By that time, only the large-scale Normanli Forest Farm and the medium-sized Field Forest Farm were left in the northwest suburbs of Bailu City.
Three small private forest farms were quickly acquired by my sister, and the price was very cheap, half the price expected. This was mainly due to the major expansion of Bailu City, which had allowed these three small forest farms to use all the wood that could be harvested.
The trees were cut down and sold. At this time, my sister went to buy the forest farm, and she became the victim of the three private forest farm owners. After all, it takes decades to mature trees, so they were happy to sell the forest farm to their sister at a cheap price.
.
After acquiring these three small private forest farms, my sister planned to acquire the public forest farm of nearly a thousand acres. As a result, the administrative department of Bailu City rejected my sister's acquisition request. The reason was very simple. My sister is a civilian and it is necessary to acquire the public forest farm.
It’s national status…
Therefore, although the real estate under my family's name now includes three small private forest farms totaling nearly a thousand acres, they are separated from one another in the east and west, and there is also a public forest farm in the middle, so there is no way to put it to use.
You can leave it there and don't care.
Claude laughed loudly. The problem that caused his sister's headache was very simple for him, because he was now an official captain officer of the kingdom and a recipient of the Knight Medal. His status was already considered a quasi-noble. If he came forward to acquire the public forest farm,
