Claude was very pleased with the growth and changes of his sister Anna. The cry-loving, timid little loli in his memory had finally grown up. Without the wings of his father and brother to protect him, he faced the wind and rain alone and had to take care of his body.
Despite a bad mother and a young and ignorant brother, she grew up to be a strong and independent woman. Not only did she make rapid progress in magic practice, her progress was astonishing, but she also dealt with the problems she encountered very properly and thoughtfully, making it hard to fault.
Something went wrong.
Even Claude himself cannot deny that he handled the provocation of Madam Maria's children and the forced purchase of the new building better than his sister, although there was a slight glitch in the purchase of the forest farm.
, it’s just that my sister doesn’t have enough experience. She didn’t expect that purchasing a public forest farm requires national status. In fact, my sister’s consideration is indeed very reasonable. Purchasing a forest farm is really helpful for her to practice magic. At least it is bigger than this red brick farm.
The house is convenient.
"By the way, Anna, have you passed the junior pharmacist qualification?" Claude saw rows of pharmaceutical test tubes and a set of small pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment placed on the large wooden table by the window.
My sister nodded: "I passed the exam. I went to the county town of Barromise to take the exam at the end of November last year. There were a total of 247 people who applied for the exam, and only ten of them passed. I ranked eighth, and I was still young.
The youngest one…”
Well, Claude had to admit that his sister was a genius and was indeed much better than him in pharmacy. What he didn't know was that after his sister Anna passed the junior pharmacist qualification at the end of last year, there were almost marriage proposals at home.
Many people crossed the threshold. Even Bockaar's father, Mr. Lubiwell, had some thoughts. It was only when he saw that those people were rejected by his sister that he gave up the thought in his heart.
"Then you didn't want to open a pharmacy?" Claude asked.
The younger sister shook her head: "When you open a pharmacy, you have to stay in the store every day. And there are enough pharmacies in Bailu City now, four of them are opened. I don't want to join in the fun. Now.
I make potions at home and sell them to the four pharmacies at cheap prices, and they are all very happy. Sometimes sailing fleets and caravans will come to me to order a batch of potions, and these alone are enough for me to earn a lot of money...
"
Claude pointed to the small set of pharmaceutical equipment: "Don't tell me that you use this to make potions. This thing is only for emergency use, and the quality of the potion extracted is not very good. If you use the alchemy magic talisman to refine it,
Potion, a potion of perfect quality will expose you as a magician..."
The younger sister laughed heartily: "I'm not that stupid to sell perfect quality potions. In fact, I made ten tubes of perfect quality potions, added three tubes of distilled water, and placed them in the stirrer of the pharmaceutical equipment.
Rotate and mix evenly, and then separate out thirteen tubes of high-quality medicine. Therefore, the medicine I made is very popular in Bailu City, and I limited the output. Everyone thought I relied on precise operation and patience.
It is only through luck that we can extract such a high-quality potion..."
Claude wordlessly extended his thumb to express his appreciation and praise for his sister. She no longer needed Claude to worry about her, and she was more considerate and detailed than Claude. The only thing Claude regretted was that he had
Why couldn't I think of this method? I had the perfect potion but couldn't sell it. I had to rely on hunting to collect money to buy medicinal materials for alchemical magic experiments.
"Well, brother, I have bad news. I don't know whether I should tell you..." Sister Anna hesitated.
"Tell me, what's the bad news?" Claude turned around.
"Well, that Normanli Real Estate Development Company collapsed, and your shares in the company were only liquidated for more than four hundred gold crowns..."
"What?" Claude was stunned: "Normanli Real Estate Development Company has closed down? Didn't you just say that you had settled the balance of the naval base project and still had more than 100,000 yuan in income? Didn't Lutheran Butler live in the new city in the east?
Buying land to build a whole community and selling it? How did he bring the company to bankruptcy? "
Then Claude understood from his sister's explanation that it was very simple that the collapse of the Normandy Real Estate Development Company was inevitable, and it would be impossible if it did not go bankrupt. Claude originally cooperated with Madam Maria to organize the real estate development company,
They took advantage of being well-informed and knew that the naval base had been set up in Bailu City, so they vigorously acquired real estate in slums.
By using real estate mortgage loans to purchase real estate and re-mortgage it, and using a small amount of money as leverage, the real estate in the entire slum east district was leveraged. After the land was connected, the planning of the overall community began, and several model buildings were built first.
It caught the eye of the Naval Base Preparatory Office. In this way, the entire community was packaged and sold to the naval base, and a huge amount of funds were allocated in advance, which solved the biggest problem of tight funds for real estate companies.
This is to sell your goods to the right customers in the right place at the right time and in the most correct way, and truly implement seamless connection, so you can earn huge wealth that no one can imagine. And the way
De'an Butler ambitiously wanted to copy this successful method, but forgot the most important key factors.
Claude originally persuaded Madam Maria to use the 7,000 acres of forest in Normandy Forest Farm as a mortgage, borrowed 20,000 gold crowns from the National Bank, invested it in the acquisition of real estate in the East Slums, and then used the acquired real estate to make another mortgage loan.
, which adds up to about 40,000 to 50,000 gold crowns, and there is still enough money left to build a few model buildings.
The land acquired by Lutheran Butler in the eastern new city was obtained from the real estate management department of Bailu City Administrative Center. The price is very disappointing. Moreover, after obtaining the land, it needs to be leveled and planned, which takes a lot of time.
The cost was greater than the demolition of houses in the East Slums. Claude also used the demolition to collect a large amount of reusable building materials, saving a lot of construction costs. But the land that Lutheran received was nothing.
Everything has to be reinvested, and the cost is getting higher and higher.
So by the time Lutheran Butler leveled the land, planned and built roads, sewers, etc., the company had spent almost all the money. So Lutheran Butler learned from Claude again and mortgaged the land to the bank.
, obtained a loan to build the overall community. This was the second mistake he made. Claude was building the overall community with the target of purchasing the Navy Department, and Butler Lutheran had not yet figured out what the new community he was going to build.
Who will be the main customers and whether they can afford a condominium suite in this new community?
If the Fenyx business group had not come to White Deer City to monopolize the trade of goods between the two continents, perhaps the prosperous business in White Deer City would have given many small and medium-sized merchants the desire to buy houses and settle down. Then this new building built by Butler Lutheran
There may be many people buying the houses in the community, and even if they don't make a lot of money, at least Normanly Real Estate Company won't lose money.
But with the Fenyx business group making trouble in White Deer City, countless small and medium-sized merchants have been excluded from the commercial trade between the two continents, and White Deer City has also lost its appeal to them. Therefore, the house built by Butler Lutheran
After the new community was completed, no one was willing to buy the expensive housing, and the new community became a no man's land where birds gathered...
"In the first half of May last year, the anxious Lutheran Butler reached an agreement with Chief Felidos to sell the new community to the White Deer City Administrative Center as a residential area for civil servants to house those new officials who came to White Deer City. The sale price was only the original price
After paying off all bank loans, project debts and office expenses, the company's remaining funds were less than five thousand gold crowns.
Steward Lutheran announced with dismay that the Norman Real Estate Development Company would end all business, and he would return to the capital to continue to serve as Madam Maria's steward. All shareholders withdrew some funds according to their shares, so you
I was also allocated more than four hundred gold crowns, which was temporarily stored in my bank account book..." My sister explained clearly the reasons for the collapse of Normanli Real Estate Development Company.
A huge profit of more than 100,000 yuan was played down to only more than 5,000 gold crowns. I believe this is a huge blow to Mrs. Maria and Butler Lutheran. Claude shook his head, in Ovelas
This is not how real estate works in the Kingdom. If there is no specific time and specific target for sale, trying to replicate Claude's success like Butler Lutheran can only be wishful thinking.
"Then have all the construction engineering teams in charge of Uncle Thomas been disbanded?" Claude is concerned about this. It doesn't matter if the Normandy Real Estate Development Company collapses, but it only took Claude a lot of effort to build a very valuable project.
It would be a shame to see an efficient engineering team disbanded.
"You have to call him Sir Thomas. Don't forget that Uncle Thomas is now a member of Parliament." My sister said with a smile. In fact, she also called Thomas uncle: "At the end of last year, the kingdom once again had mandatory conscription, and most of the construction team
All the people were recruited, and only two to three hundred people were left, all of whom were very experienced technicians.
After the company collapsed, the shareholders who withdrew their shares re-established a construction firm and signed a labor agreement with these technicians. Using these technicians, they established three construction engineering teams, which were contracted from the Bailu City Administrative Center through Uncle Thomas's relationship.
There are a lot of expansion projects. Although they don't make a lot of money, they are enough to support the business development of the construction company.
Uncle Thomas once said that this is the company's business strategy that you told him before you left the army. As long as he can maintain the construction team, it will be enough for him to maintain a great influence in Bailu City, which will be very helpful for him to be elected as a National Assembly member.
Good thing. By the way, our family also invested 100% of the shares in this construction company. We invested 150 gold crowns in the name of my brother Blovik."
Claude nodded, Uncle Thomas did a good job, and I still remember what he said at that time. Even if the company went bankrupt, he could still maintain the existence of the construction team and set up a construction firm. If Butler Lutheran can also run the company like this
There is no way that the company will go bankrupt. The expansion of Bailu City will bring many project contracting opportunities. It's a pity that after having a delicious meal, the housekeeper Lutheran didn't look down on these light porridge and rice, and wanted to have another meal.
The big banquet turned out to be a mess, so I had to leave Bailu City in despair.
"By the way, what's going on with the wall outside and Uncle Peg guarding the gate?" Claude thought of Uncle Peg he saw when he just came back.
The younger sister shook her head and sighed: "Brother, you don't know how many labor camps there are in Bailu City now. There are about thirty in total. I suspect that all the labor camps in the kingdom are concentrated in Bailu City. Prisoners often sneak out.
Crimes were committed in the city, thefts and robberies were frequent, and the public security was getting worse and worse. The year before last, two prisoners sneaked into the second floor next door and almost scared Mrs. Wenderson to death. So I had to pay.
We asked Uncle Thomas and the others for help to build such a wall to bring some sense of security to the tenants next door. Anyway, the land inside belongs to our family..."
"As for Uncle Peg..." My sister's face became serious: "Brother, do you still remember your childhood playmate Ericson?"
"Remember, he later fell out with our family because of his father's disappearance, and I stopped interacting with him after graduation. What's wrong, what happened to him?" Claude asked curiously.
"You'd better not mention to others that you know him in the future." My sister didn't seem to be joking: "The second year after you left the army, Ericson also joined the army, but he joined the navy. Then in
In April last year, he incited a rebellion, seized a second-level battleship of the Storm Fleet, and became a pirate. Now his wanted bounty is as high as 850 gold crowns, and there is still a wanted notice posted at the gate of the naval base.
portrait……"
"How is this possible?" Claude was stunned. Ericson actually became a pirate. How old is he? He is the same age as himself. The navy is not the army. Seniority and seniority are more important on the ship. He has only been in the army for a few years.
Nian, at most he only washed the deck of the battleship on the ship, how could he incite a ship of soldiers to follow him in rebellion? This is simply a fantasy...
"This is true. Most people in Bailu City know it. Moreover, he was so audacious that the people at the naval base did not notice it. After the rebellion, he drove the warship back to the base to dock in a grand manner, and then used the night to loot the military supplies warehouse at the dock.
, took away two ocean-going transport ships, and went home to pick up his mother and some family members of the soldiers who had followed him in the rebellion.
It wasn't until he set sail with three ships that the Marine Corps battalion guarding the bay channel thought he had a special mission and ordered him to be released. The next morning, the naval base found that the guards at the dock's military warehouse were all tied together, and they didn't know what had happened.
Rebellion. This incident caused the dismissal of six officers in charge of the naval base and became the greatest shame for the Storm Fleet..."
"What about Uncle Peg?"
"Uncle Peg refused to follow Ericson to become a pirate. Since their private dock was sold, Uncle Peg worked as a servant in their small yard. That night Ericson picked up his mother, and Uncle Peg
He was unwilling to follow and was tied up in the room. Later, he was arrested by the patrol team for investigation. After he was proven innocent, he became homeless and lived on the street. At that time, our house had just built a fence, so I hired him as a concierge."
Claude nodded: "You are doing the right thing."
"Also, there is one more thing," the younger sister said a little shyly, and a little scared: "Brother, I, I killed two people last year..."
