Luther used to like reading history books very much, so after Kong Mu Che stated his intention, he knew that the other party's proposal was very good.
Cooperating with a big family and forming a group can not only broaden your network of contacts, but also double the income on the island, and the invisible benefits are many times what they are now.
There have been many such examples throughout the ages, but Luther didn't think this was what Qidao should do.
They say that tonight we have to confess our hearts to each other. Just now it was Kongmu Tetsu who had been honest. Now it is Luther's turn to tell his father-in-law a few words about his vision for the future.
Even though he knew that everyone in the house was being kicked out, Luther still sat next to Kongmu Che and described it in a low voice.
Kung Mu Te, who was a little dizzy from drinking, opened his eyes little by little, because his drunken and red face was full of surprise.
"you…"
Kongmu Te's words were stuck in his throat, and it took him a long time before he laughed out loud.
Hearty laughter echoed in the mansion, and the servants waiting at the door looked at each other, wondering why their master was so happy.
The housekeeper was even more itchy and wanted to stick to the door and eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
Ever since Miss Mai left this house, my master has not laughed so heartily for a long time.
Smiling, Kongmu Te's voice was a little more lonely.
"Young people, young people."
"You and Mai are a perfect match. Both of you are reserved and low-key on the surface, but in fact you are sharp. Even if you hide, your talents will shine brightly, and your ambition to show off your talents will be dazzling."
"I already feel like I can't see through Mai anymore. Her two investments were unexpected by me, but they have extremely high rates of return."
"Now I realize that I have never seen you clearly. Luther, can you tell me whether your low profile is a disguise or is it true?"
Luther immediately replied: "True."
"From the beginning to the end, there was only one thing I wanted to do, which was to happily eat and wait until death. However, I met many people on the way to achieve this goal."
"The people on the island are my most important treasure, so I will try my best to protect them."
"If I had to choose between eating and waiting to die or guarding the people on the island, I would choose the latter, but I think I am now capable of making another decision."
Luther clenched his hands into fists: "I want them all!"
"When people from big families outside see you like this, they will probably be similar to small families, but they probably didn't expect that Qidao's goal has never been petty profits, but something more far-reaching."
Kongmu Che was convinced of the defeat. He was impressed by the dream that Luther told.
When a person reaches middle age, he never thought that a few words would arouse the passion in his heart.
Kongmu Che once thought of running on the grass with his elf when he was young, shouting on the hillside to make the world pay attention to him.
In the future, Qidao will continue to keep a low profile with Luther's simplest "fishing" thinking, but it will become more and more attractive and become more and more impossible to ignore.
That wasn't even Luther's ambition, just Luther's speculation about the future.
Based on Kongmu Che's experience, Luther's speculation will become a reality in the distant future or not long after.
Kongmu Teru drank a glass of wine and enjoyed the island in his imagination.
"I asked a company affiliated to the Kumu family to invest in Granmit's blight drug research and development project."
Luther didn't know why Kongmu Te would mention Granmit.
Glenmet had used porcelain to bring Luther out, hoping to get Qidao's help.
He admired Granmit's love for elves and sympathized with his past experiences.
But Luther hated that kind of beating around the bush, not speaking human words, and a bunch of routines, so he refused for the time being.
"Qidao does not participate in external affairs and remains neutral, but it is good to increase the sense of presence and the public's favor."
"The previous experience of the Granmit project has been very mature. Now it is stuck in the trial and error part. You tell Mai and she will understand what to do."
Kong Muche smiled bitterly: "Just think of it as my eighteenth birthday gift to Mai."
Gifts cannot reach the island, but the wealth code cannot.
"Master Hui, I'm talking to someone important. Don't disturb me... Oh, please run slower and don't fall!"
As soon as the old housekeeper's anxious voice sounded, the door of the mansion was pushed open by a child.
Ah Hui, who was as tough as a tiger, ran to Kongmu Che, grabbed his hand, and happily talked about the evolution of spiny tail insects just now.
Ah Hui's mother, Rong Mei, hurriedly entered the hall. Seeing Luther still there, she nodded to Luther in embarrassment.
"Dad, dad, who is this?"
Ah Hui's subconscious question made Rong Mei feel nervous.
No matter how you answer, you can't get around Mai who is not in this home.
Kong Muche smiled slightly and introduced: "He is the owner of Qidao, and he is the guest that Dad finally invited."
"Is the owner of Qidao better than dad?"
"It depends on what aspect. If it's a battle, there are probably not many people in Sinnoh who can beat him."
Ah Hui tilted his head, his eyes full of distrust.
Just for a moment, he turned his head, took Kongmu Che's hand, and pestered him to take the newly evolved spinytail home and raise it.
"Then raise it, steward, and take the young master to bring the elf home."
After receiving the permission, Ah Hui cheered and ran out again dancing.
Rong Mei smiled awkwardly at Luther, turned around and wanted to chase Ah Hui, but was stopped by Kongmu Che.
"I told you, don't worry about the past. Now you are a member of the Kongmu family, so there is no need to worry."
Kongmu Te's tone was very gentle, and Rong Mei also had a smile on her face.
After saying sorry to Luther again, she hurriedly chased after her child.
Luther looked at the backs of mother and son leaving and said leisurely: "Mai also wanted to raise an elf at home before, so she didn't hesitate to hide it from you and hide the different-colored sun coral she hatched."
"For Mai, I am unqualified as a father, I know this."
"I have ignored her feelings since she was a child. She is right. I have never treated her as an independent individual. I just want to control her in my own way."
"It's a pity that I noticed it too late..."
"Now that I have Ah Hui, at least to this child, I want to be a good father."
After a long silence, Kongmu Che gave Luther a sincere message.
"Although I said it just now, I still want to say something more."
"Perhaps there will be other women by your side in the future, but don't forget who is protecting you all the way during your travels, even if he doesn't hesitate to fall out with me."
Luther covered his forehead, and Kong Muche started to talk about Cheluolun. He must have been drunk, right?
