MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 256 Who cares about Christine's future?
Chapter 256 Who will control Christine's future?
Facts have proved that if a person really wants to accomplish something, even if one is on the top and the other is on the bottom, separated by a long, long, deep, deep threshold, it is not impossible to pass.
Although it is impossible to directly and obviously pass the invitation letter to Mr. Talinkos through the bridge built by others, fortunately, there is not only one site for the bridge that can be built, and Miss Malena, who inadvertently laid the groundwork, is also a good candidate .
Although Miss Malianna is not active in the social circle of noble ladies, she does not have her own circle, and because of her out-of-the-ordinary personality, it is hard for such a person not to be liked by others.
Although she always feels that she has few friends who can treat each other sincerely, there are quite a few people who regard her as a confidant because of her enthusiasm.
Therefore, Marlena asked the people around her about a noble named "Korinna", which soon reached the ears of Korinna herself, so Korinna easily borrowed the hands of these people, The invitation letter was successfully submitted.
If the barrage learns about this complicated operation, there will definitely be a bunch of question marks, saying, "Why do you want to make things so complicated, can't you just pass it on through the businessmen's circle?" or something like that.
However, in the eyes of these nobles, there is an essential difference between directly contacting the merchant and contacting the merchant's daughter.
The former means that you let go of your figure, and after falling into the eyes of others, others will think that you are not as tall as before; while for the latter, you can use excuses such as "children are ignorant" or "spoiling children" Come on in disguise.
Even if everyone knows that this is just a lie, who doesn't have a fig leaf on their face?
If no one says anything, then there is nothing.
Of course, Marlena didn't expect the process to be so complicated. She just felt that she was capable. At least she had friends everywhere who could help her get channels.
Holding the invitation letter, the girl returned to her father's study room, slapped it on the table, and raised her head triumphantly without saying a word.
"." The businessman was really shocked now,
He looked at the badge on the invitation letter several times, convinced that it was not a fake, so he raised his head and asked in surprise: "Marlena, how did you do it?"
Marlena was delighted by her father's attitude which was contrary to usual, and she wanted to keep this joy, so she chose to remain cold and silent, like a child who wanted more rewards for getting good grades in the exam.
Unfortunately, although the businessman has made a lot of achievements in business, he has completely reversed his skills in educating children. Seeing that his daughter didn't speak, he thought she didn't want to speak, so he didn't continue to ask.
Fortunately, he is still recuperating after many years of cultivation, so Marlena didn't get angry again because she didn't get what she wanted.
"Thank you, Malena, is there anything you want?"
Marlena shook her head and said, "No. Wait a minute."
She suddenly thought of something, and changed her words: "By the way, can I go to this banquet?"
"Huh? Aren't you the least of these things?"
"Can I just ask?"
“.”
The businessman was keenly aware of the problem, but he did not reject Marlena, but said seriously: "I'll go ask and try to bring you there."
"good!"
After Malena left the study, the businessman stroked the stubble on his chin, thoughtfully.
The daughter's abnormal behaviors are obviously caused by something, and the key point is obviously in this banquet.
According to the businessman's years of experience in knowing people and understanding of her daughter, she may have met someone who is interested.
Businessmen seldom interfere with the children's private affairs, unless there is a scene of being abducted by security guards, door guards, etc. that only appear in vulgar novels, so if Marlena really has someone she likes , he wouldn't care too much about it, at most he just asked someone to investigate the other party's identity and background.
However, he vaguely remembered that someone said that the real leader of this banquet was a daughter of Christine's family.
"No wonder she never had much contact with men. But then again, why didn't she go to the girls' banquet?"
The businessman tugged at his stubble and shook his head.
The child's world, he doesn't understand.
As the appointed time came, Malena had packed herself up.
Today's girl did not put on exquisite makeup, nor did she wear enviable clothes, because she knew that the protagonist of this dinner must not be herself, she just wanted to join in the fun.
It was rare for them to sit in the same carriage with their father and come to the banquet hall written on the invitation letter. With the smile and welcome of the welcoming lady, they entered the venue.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the mysterious boy waiting in her eyes, waving to them, but just when she wanted to say hello first, Lynn moved first.
"Mr. Talinkos?" Lynn smiled and made a gesture of invitation, completely ignoring the girl's wink.
"Huh?" The merchant narrowed his eyes slightly, "I've been here before, if I remember correctly, it doesn't seem to be the place to go to the main hall, right? Don't you guys treat me as a guest?"
"No, no, no." Lynn said with a light smile, "In fact, this banquet is arranged for you alone, and you are the only guest."
"oh?"
The businessman showed interest and nodded slightly.
"Then I want to see what kind of business you want to talk to me about."
In the girl's ignorant eyes, her father followed her goal and left her sight, leaving her here alone doubting life, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, Corinna appeared at this time and got rid of her predicament.
"What the **** are you going to do?"
Marlena asked suspiciously, but Corinna didn't explain to her, and simply looked at the place where the two left.
I don’t know if it will work.
Came to the separate lounge and sat down on the seat. The businessman was about to ask if the person who was coming was the Duke, but he saw the young man who invited him to talk and sat opposite him.
"Huh?" He laughed, "It seems that this banquet is full of surprises."
Lin En smiled noncommittally, and said, "Sir, do you need me to be polite in advance, such as introducing myself or something?"
"No need." The businessman caught a glimpse of the badge on his wrist bracelet and said, "Speak directly, what is your purpose?"
"Resolute people have always been able to achieve great things, no wonder you will become the kingdom's leading businessman." Lin En smiled again and said, "Actually, I want to talk to you about 'mortgage loans' and other matters."
"Loan?" The businessman was taken aback.
Originally watching this battle, he thought that the other party was short of money and wanted to collect his protection fee forcibly? Well, maybe it was collected in a different way?
Paused, he said: "Sir, do you know that I can provide loans, but we have always limited the types of collateral."
"If your collateral is something like a rare treasure, we generally won't accept it unless it is a must-have item recognized by the public."
There are many kinds of rare treasures in this world, some are useful and some are useless, and what is useful depends on how many people can use it. If there are few people, no matter how useful it is, no one will use it.
But things that can only be piled up in warehouses are garbage to merchants.
Lin Enyi understood the deep meaning in the businessman's words, shook his head, and said, "No, no, no, we won't do things like cheating people with useless things. Integrity is the basis of transactions."
Integrity? You told me that nobles are honest?
The businessman secretly slandered in his heart, but kept his face calm: "Oh? Then what are you preparing?"
"Real estate." Lynn said, "In Catalena, we have a lot of assets, including shops and residences, and a large number of them are concentrated in the bustling areas of the city. Thinking about it, it should be enough for collateral, right?"
"this"
If it is an industry, it is indeed something that businessmen prefer, and it is not a problem to use it as collateral.
The businessman nodded: "In that case, I have no problem. Do you need it now, or later?"
"Details and things like that will be discussed later." Lynn squinted and said, "These things are just pre-dinner desserts. The real feast is later."
"Oh? What else do you think?"
"It's not a good idea, but I want to take this opportunity and exchange more money." Lynn said, "We will need to take out a lot of assets as collateral. It will be a bit difficult for you alone, so I hope, You'd better take the others with you."
"Pull the others, together."
The businessman's sense of smell made him smell something wrong from this sentence.
He is the richest businessman in the kingdom, and Lynn said that the assets they will mortgage will be very, very large, and he cannot afford it alone.
So, how much assets will make a businessman feel strenuous?
I think it is a very huge number.
But, Christine, when did you have so many assets?
Catalina is just that big, and Christine is a well-known "poor nobleman". Where did they get so much money?
At this time, the businessman remembered what the other party had said. He said that their assets were all concentrated "near the church school."
As a businessman, being well-informed is a must-have label. He naturally knew about the fact that a mysterious guy was buying up other people's shops in that area recently.
Could it be the person in front of you?
But, if it was him, why would he do it?
And according to his intention, he is not ready to stop, and wants to continue the acquisition.
What is he doing?
Bought and mortgaged? Make money less and less?
Is it too much money and no place to spend it, or is there something wrong with my brain?
The businessman raised his head and looked up and down at the young man in front of him.
He doesn't think the other party is an idiot, so in this matter, he must have another purpose.
It's just that the businessman couldn't figure out what he was hiding for the time being.
Heaved a sigh of relief, Mr. Tarlinks was already thinking about how to get rid of the other party's request.
His money did not rely on gambling to make a small fortune. Instead, he relied on steady development and good luck to get to where he is today. He has always disliked investments like this one where he can't see the risks clearly.
However, just as he was thinking, Lynn used words to change his mind.
"I know, after hearing what I said, you are probably thinking about how to reject us, or how to reduce the loss in our request." Lynn tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "That's right, see How can you be willing to invest if you don’t get a return of interest.”
"But what I want to say is that I can pull you and make money together."
"Pull me to make money together? Whose money will I make?"
"Your colleagues, and"
Lynn uttered a word that the businessman didn't expect.
"How dare you?" He was shocked.
"Why don't you dare?" Lynn said indifferently, "The recent situation has become more and more uneven. If you don't make money at this time, it will be difficult to make money when things really get chaotic and strictly controlled. .”
Then, he told the businessman an extremely crazy idea for him.
He plans to obtain a large number of small shops through such acquisition and mortgage.
These stores are relatively thin in terms of individual profits, but they have a key point.
They are shops that sell the necessities that people need.
If the store in hand reaches a certain level, then to a certain extent, they can reach the level of "monopoly" in a certain area and have the power of "pricing".
Anything, once monopolized successfully, its profits are enough to make anyone drool, even if it is just the most common things around.
However, if you want to go back and think about it, if you really want to achieve it, it is not difficult.
First of all, the royal family will certainly not sit idly by, otherwise order will collapse to greet Catalina, and they will definitely set up obstacles to curb such behavior.
This alone is enough to make this plan a failure.
"Don't worry about this." Lin En smiled lightly, "Someone will take the pressure from above. After all, the stakes involved are not only related to me."
"A dog who has eaten big fish and meat will no longer like leftovers."
The businessman remained skeptical about this sentence for the time being. After thinking about Lin En's words, he suddenly found a very crucial question: "There doesn't seem to be a place for me here?"
"Why not?" Lynn said, "Do you think that if we keep doing this, the profit will be received first, or we will go bankrupt first."
"." The businessman thought for a while, and his face became strange, "You must have gone bankrupt first. So you are not going to pay back the money at all, are you?"
"Yes." Lynn said frankly, "Not only am I not prepared to pay back the money, but I am also not prepared to actually engage in this monopoly business."
"At that time, if we go bankrupt under the intervention of the royal family, then these assets will all fall into the hands of you businessmen without any accidents, and they want to generate income without high returns. It is a very difficult thing to achieve, but for some merchants who have pledged a large amount of money to us, they need a gold coin to replenish their capital chain at this moment—at this time, can't you show up?"
"As for how much you can get, it depends on how much money you can 'borrow' for me."
“.”
When he heard this, Mr. Tarlinks actually started to feel excited.
Taking advantage of the fire to rob, he has done this kind of thing a lot, it can be said that he is very experienced.
It's just that he also knows that there can't be such a good thing in the world, and some people use self-destruct methods to generate income for him.
"Before I shake hands with you, I want to ask you a question." The businessman asked, "No one in the world will make a loss-making business, whether it is a businessman or an ordinary person, so can you tell me what you do it for? ?"
"Well"
Lynn smiled mysteriously.
"It's really good to look to the future, but most people still focus on the present."
“Compared with the benefits you can create in the future, people care more about how much money they can get now.”
"The more you get, the more attention you get."
"As for the future."
Who cares about Christine's future?
God knows what kind of torture it is to ride a shared bicycle for several kilometers in the middle of the night when the temperature is only 5 degrees and there is light rain!
