The King

Chapter 133: Investment needs to be cautious

   Coming out of the Governor's Mansion, Hudson's head was buzzing.

  Whether this transaction was a loss or a profit is difficult to figure out for a while.

   I have to admit that Earl Pierce is an old political player, and he hit his weakness as soon as he made a move.

  Perhaps for Hudson personally, there is no substantial difference between a baron and a viscount. Just changing the title will not bring substantial benefits.

   But for others, the gap between the viscount and the baron is an insurmountable gap, which belongs to the leap of class.

  In the eyes of the outside world, if you cross this step, even if you have entered the threshold of middle-class nobles, the rest is only time accumulation.

  If the dust had not yet settled and the news had not spread, the Koslow family would have a grand celebration.

   It is reckoned that the heads of various branch branches distributed across the country will come to participate in the celebration in person.

  …

   Baron Cayo, who didn't know about the incident, was busy with the official affairs of the territory, so he was summoned to the Governor's Palace by the family knight.

  Looking at the group of trusted servants kneeling in the hall, Baron Cayo was dumbfounded.

   Before he could react, Earl Pierce's whip had already been drawn. Fortunately, his father died early, otherwise this wave would be doubles.

  The pump continued until he was ripped apart and fell to the ground crying, before Earl Pierce managed to suppress his anger.

  No need to say anything, Baron Kayo knew that the gang of trash under him must have betrayed him.

   What he couldn't understand was why his uncle would be so furious over such a trivial matter.

   "Asshole, tell me the truth, how much did you get involved in this matter?"

   Facing Earl Pierce's questioning, Baron Cayo's head was completely stunned.

   "How much blended"?

   What the **** is this?

   It seems that apart from putting a few bottles of locust-attracting potions in the two counties of Wright and Wyton, he hasn't done anything else recently?

   "I still don't admit it, let's see what this is?"

   While speaking, an inconspicuous vial flew out of Earl Pierce's hand and landed steadily in front of Baron Cayo.

  Looking at the familiar vial in front of him, Baron Cayo became even more displeased with the servants. The potion that was used to deceive people actually appeared here intact. Isn't this a blatant betrayal?

   No wonder there was no news from the outside world, and he was caught. His feelings were betrayed by an inner ghost.

   "Uncle, I'm going to discuss this matter with you. It's just that you were busy organizing manpower to suppress the locust plague at that time, and didn't give me a chance to communicate alone, so..."

   Before Baron Cayo could finish his explanation, Earl Pierce became more and more angry, pointed at him and cursed tremblingly:

   "You idiot, this is trying to kill the family!"

  Seeing this scene, Baron Cayo became more and more confused. Just throwing a few bottles of locust-attracting potion, how could it be involved in killing the family.

  If the Dalton family were so fragile, they would have been swallowed up long ago, so why would they be so brilliant today.

   "Uncle, this is a misunderstanding! How could I..."

   It’s okay if you don’t explain it, just explain it like this. Earl Pierce's whip was whipped at him again, with that expression of hatred for iron and steel, as if he wanted to eat people.

   "What a misunderstanding!

   Colluded with the Holy See to release locust-attracting agents in the southeastern province. You **** dare to do such a lifeless thing. Is there anything else you dare not do?

  Today I don’t…”

   After figuring out what was going on, Baron Cayo wanted to cry without tears. "Collude with the Holy See", this hat is deadly.

  Although there are no explicit regulations in the kingdom's decrees, there has long been an unspoken rule among the nobles - not to associate with the Holy See.

  Bearing such a crime, not only can't get along in the Alpha Kingdom. In more than 90% of the human race countries, there is no place for him.

  Even if it is a powerful force like the Dalton family, once the real hammer colludes with the Holy See, there will be no place for them to stand in the kingdom.

   "Uncle, you are wronged!

  I have nothing to do with the Holy See!

  According to your instructions, I have always kept a respectful distance from people in the Holy See. He didn't even say a few words, so how could he collude with them?

  …”

   Baron Cayo hurriedly explained.

   Now he is really scared. Just throwing locust-attracting potions in the two counties, with their own strength, they can still handle it, but if it involves collusion with the Holy See, it will be the end of the calf.

  After listening to his nephew's explanation, he realized that Earl Pierce, who had made a misunderstanding, looked much better, but his anger was still hard to calm down.

   "Fool!

   It’s just such a little thing, I can’t do it well. After staying in the capital for so many years, he didn't make any progress at all.

   Now someone came to the door with evidence, and I don't know it yet. Why didn't I realize that you kid is such a waste?

  …”

   It is not a crime to be a black hand, but it is a serious crime if someone catches a black hand.

  As a nobleman, one must have a glamorous appearance. Dark methods can only be placed under the table.

  Since Baron Cayo was arrested, even if he was not accused of colluding with the Holy See, it would still be an indelible stain on his life.

  Once a quarrel breaks out, not only Baron Cayo will be finished, but the Dalton family will also be ashamed.

   Facing his uncle's reprimand, Kayo wanted to cry but had no tears. Obviously he was very careful, in order to hide his identity, he didn't even send his own people to do it.

   Afterwards, they even sent people to kill all the unlucky ones they hired. The plan was perfect, but unfortunately it still failed to avoid the incident.

   "Uncle, I did this matter very covertly. Except for these few cronies, the other executors were all silenced.

   Logically speaking, it should not be exposed. Where did you get this thing? "

   Baron Cayo asked bravely.

   Even if you want to die, you have to be a ghost. What's more, he couldn't die this time. If he really planned to kill his relatives righteously, Earl Pierce would not bother to teach him a lesson.

"Humph!

   Opinionated stuff!

  Everything has been delivered to the door, I don’t know who brought it, you are really amazing.

  Think about it for yourself!

   If you can’t figure it out, just stay here and don’t go back.

   Save yourself from continuing to embarrass yourself and embarrass your family..."

   Earl Pierce said angrily.

  The nephew who has been painstakingly cultivated is actually this kind of guy, and he doesn't know how to complain.

   However, the life of a nobleman is not smooth sailing. If you don't suffer setbacks in your youth, the beatings you will encounter in the future will only become more serious.

  Almost all the children of the great nobles have to be sent out to practice, in order to let them suffer setbacks.

  Failure is not terrible. As long as you can learn lessons and accumulate experience, the nobles will have the capital and teaching fees.

  Geniuses are a minority after all, and the probability of birthing a genius is even lower if the family bloodline is the inheritance system.

  Most of them are middle-aged, slowly honed through acquired education.

  Including Earl Pierce himself, he also came out after experiencing countless setbacks.

   It's just that for Baron Cayo, the reality is too cruel. I am afraid of comparison in everything. If you are surrounded by players of the same level, you will not be discouraged even if you fail.

   What Baron Cocayo faced was obviously not an ordinary player. There are too many talents gathered in the two counties of Wright and Wyton, so he has to be cautious.

  It's a pity that no matter how cautious you are, you still have to take action. However, this first step has caused him to be severely beaten by the society.

   After calming down, he reviewed the recent changes in the two counties, and Baron Cayo broke into a cold sweat instantly.

  The areas where the locust plague was released were basically devastated, except for the mountainous areas to hide in the past.

   Originally thought it was the bear of the earth, but now it seems that the potion that was supposed to be placed in the mountain territory did not work, but appeared here as evidence against him.

  It's too late to regret it, the truth is revealed, and the **** blossoms. Now that the beating is over, I can't beat him back.

   The annoyed Baron Cayo wanted to give himself two big slaps. Obviously made a decision not to cause trouble before Hudson ran out of energy, but unexpectedly...

  …

  In the Mountain Territory, Hudson is busy sharing the spoils with Bear Stearns. To operate the title, the kingdom's rewards are probably useless, but the province's rewards are still there.

  Through a series of insider transactions, they obtained a total of two million pounds of rye, ten copies of life essence, a pile of magic crystals, and some basic cultivation resources.

  There is no way, the price of food has been soaring in the disaster year, and now there is no market for the price. If it weren't for Bear Stearns' face, it is estimated that they would not be able to exchange so many things.

   Hudson has never been stingy when dealing with great heroes. Putting all the gains directly in front of the cub, he announced domineeringly: "Bear Stearns, this time you have contributed the most.

  Here is magic spar, and the other side is food, life essence, and basic cultivation resources. Anyway, the values ​​of both are similar, so you choose first! "

   Seeing this scene, Bear Stearns angrily rolled his eyes, and unceremoniously took the magic spar as his own.

   Multiple Choice?

   It's an insult to the bear's IQ. Besides magic spar, what else are they?

  Basic training resources are just right for Hudson to use. Put it on Bear Stearns, not to mention the fart effect, even the appetite can not be satisfied.

  The raw liquid of life is similar. The little energy contained in it is not as good as the feed pill refined by Hudson to Bear Stearns.

   Food is even worse. For all its appetite, Bear Stearns isn't eating bread every day. Two million pounds of rye, a bear can't finish it until it's moldy.

  According to past experience, once the grain is selected, storage fees, care fees, fire protection fees... will all follow.

   As a bear rancher, what Bear Stearns is most tired of now is all kinds of messy fees. Uncle Xiong gets annoyed when he sees the thick bill.

   Hudson just smiled slightly at this scene. No matter what you choose, the end result is the same.

  Magic spar could not survive the night in the hands of Bear Stearns either. Compared to slowly absorbing the energy in the magic spar, how can it be more refreshing to open it.

   Xiong, who is used to a life of luxury, can no longer go back. If he really wanted to go back to the past practice of turtle speed, Uncle Xiong would rather go back and have a good sleep.

   After the spoils were divided, Hudson was about to leave when he was stopped by the Cubs.

   "Hudson, don't forget your Viscount, and Ben Xiong's share."

   Looking at the serious Bear Stearns, Hudson nodded. Repudiating debts is not his style, and the important role played by his own bear must be recognized.

   "Don't worry, Bear Stearns. This kind of thing will definitely not forget your credit. I will add your profile picture on the family crest and let you share the glory..."

   Before Hudson could finish speaking, Bear Stearns spread his paws and fell to the ground, angrily said:

"Humph!

  Don't try to deceive Ben Xiong!

  Obviously you want to put my face on the family crest to show off your achievements, but you insist on sharing the glory, and those who don’t know think I’m taking advantage of you.

  To tell you the truth, the old man Redman has already prepared the badge. It's just that the carving is too ugly, so I was rejected by Ben Xiong! "

  Warcraft engraved on the family badge is a routine operation. There is a powerful monster, if you don't show it off on the family crest, it will be a shame to the vanity of the nobles.

   There are many tribesmen who have this idea. It's just that in the past, Bear Stearns' reputation was not obvious, and it couldn't be pretended to be aggressive.

   Now that his reputation is well-known, Hudson is also planning to do the same, but he didn't expect to be preempted by his own father.

   "Okay then, our Viscount Bear Stearns. After the title is finalized, you can also enjoy the title of Viscount in the territory."

   Hudson said indifferently.

  Bear Stengmo said he was called Viscount, even if he called him Earl or King, no one would care.

  The king of the bear clan of the earth, what does it matter to human beings?

   Whoever is full enough to support himself should care about who is the king of the Warcraft race.

   As for whether the other Earth Bears will call the door after receiving this news, no one knows.

  But Hudson feels that the probability of this happening is not high. Just looking at Bear Stearns, if it weren't for his master's hard work to help it become more diligent, this guy would be a useless bear waiting to die.

   There are quite a few races known for their laziness, but few are as lazy as theirs. Even the laziest Pig in the territory is more diligent than Bear Stearns.

   "What about the territory?"

   As expected of a bear with a high IQ, he immediately discovered the key to the problem. What's the point of having the title of Viscount without own territory?

   "Territory?

  What territory?

  Bear Stearns, aren't you an idiot?

  Someone has divided us a new territory, how come I don't know?

  Tell you to sleep less and dream less, and now the sequelae are coming. Don't bring things in your dreams into real life.

  The territory of the Mountain Territory is still as much as before. Not an inch of land has been added, where can I go to give you territory?

   If you really want it, it's not impossible to discuss it. We can open up wasteland together, and the land developed can also be counted as your share. "

   Hudson encouraged.

  The biggest risk this year is to open up wasteland and start a business. The hills of the Salam Mountains are nothing more than that, and finally they can see the rewards.

   As slow as this one is, that's the reward. It is estimated that the newly developed land will be able to pay back its capital in the last 18 years.

  The endless swampland is purely a huge pit.

   How other people develop the swamp, Hudson doesn't know. Anyway, the silt of more than ten meters at every turn brought a hell-level experience to the development.

   After more than half a year of tossing, it seems that nearly 10,000 mu of land has been developed, and the manpower and material resources that can be invested are also astronomical.

  If it weren't for the Marsh brand fertilizer, which helped restore some blood, Hudson doubted whether he could persist.

   Optimistically, if there is no disaster and twenty years of good weather and good harvests, it will probably be able to pay back.

  The actual situation will definitely be worse, and this is a bottomless pit in the short term. With the existing productivity, without using supernatural means, it is a series of projects in the lifetime.

  Huge investment risks, the pressure to go it alone is too great, and Hudson also had to find a partner who took advantage of him.

  Bear Stearns, who is wealthy and possesses magical construction capabilities, is undoubtedly the best partner.

  Magic combined with manpower to open up wasteland, perhaps this is the most correct mode of swamp development. Otherwise, this bottomless pit will drag down the mountain sooner or later.

   "There is no need to open up wasteland, as long as I have dozens of hills to graze, I won't care about you."

   As he spoke, he seemed to think of something. Bear Stearns, who was originally weak, suddenly became alive and kicking.

   "No problem, as long as you pay on time. Anyway, you know the rent. The southeast province lacks mountains, and things are rare and expensive.

   It's just that you really don't think about it anymore?

  Mountain areas are not ideal pastoral areas. Once the scale of farming expands, various troubles will arise.

  The best place to graze is grassland. The Forgotten Swamp is flat, as long as the water is drained, you can plant grass on it, or you can plant your favorite magic bamboo shoots...

  The lifespan of the Earth Bear family is thousands of years. With your talent, you may be able to break through the limit and live longer than ordinary Earth Bears.

  Bear Stearns, you are less than three years old, and you are at the age of struggle. You can't be decadent so early.

  Think about it, own a pasture of your own, raise tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, have endless animal milk, honey, and endless magic bamboo shoots...

   In this kind of life, wouldn’t countless female bears come to your door to open branches and leaves for you. At that time, you can completely establish your own Earth Bear Dynasty and give birth to a bunch of bear cubs.

   If you pursue a higher level, you can also raise meat monsters. It's the hybrid of those monsters and wild beasts. You have eaten them before, and they taste good, right?

  …”

  Pie, bigger and bigger.

   As he spoke, Hudson was almost lost in the beautiful blueprint he had drawn. The corner of Bear Stearns, who was brought into rhythm, couldn't help drooling at the moment.

  Although it takes a long time to develop the swampland, and the risks and benefits are not directly proportional, but considering the long lifespan of the Earth Bear, it seems that the long payback period is not a big deal.

   "How to divide?"

  As soon as he asked, Bear Stearns noticed something was wrong. It seems to have been tricked again, just following Hudson's thinking, and it really didn't find any problems with this plan.

   "Of course it is allocated according to the amount of effort! Two cooperation models: the first method, everyone contributes money for development, I contribute labor and technology, and we split the final results.

  The second way, the money is paid by everyone, and the labor force and technology are also paid by everyone, and the final result is directly split 50-50.

   Do you think it's fair enough?

  I didn't take advantage of you! "

   Hudson said brazenly.

   It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but it is hard to say when it is actually implemented.

   Not to mention how to calculate the cost, just the labor and technology, that is a huge pit.

   Hudson has a large workforce, Bear Stearns does not. As a bear of the earth, its identity as a monster is destined to prevent it from recruiting troops in the human world.

   "You don't want me to work as a coolie, do you?"

   While speaking, Bear Stearns kept shaking his head. It's okay to do it once in a while, but if you spend decades in land reclamation work, it's just killing your life.

   "What are you thinking, Bear Stearns. Do you think you can do as much work as a bear and be worth more than 20,000 slaves?

  Everything requires skill.

  You only need to release a spell in the past at a critical moment to assist everyone in the construction.

  I remember some bears said that their hardening technique can cover a mile and last for half a month, so they are not bragging, right? "

   Hudson evaded the important point and said lightly.

  If there is only one construction team, then it only takes half a month to cast a spell to solidify the silt on both sides of the ditch, and let the slaves dig the rest of the time.

   But there are more construction teams, and there are more places that need bears. What's more, in the development of the swamp, all kinds of strange creatures need to be dealt with, and bears are also required to contribute.

  There is no need to talk too much about these extra jobs for the time being. As long as Bear Stearns nods, its assets will become project investments.

  Divestment is impossible, and Hudson will turn the funds on the books into means of production as quickly as possible.

  Either accept the sunk cost of investment failure, or devote yourself to the cause of land reclamation. Anyway, no matter how you choose, Hudson will not lose.

  These things will all be clarified in a written contract. Don't give bears a chance to play tricks.

  Seeing the cubs' emotions, Hudson added again: "Think about it carefully, this kind of large-scale investment must be cautious.

  Although the opportunity is rare, if you miss this time, it will be very difficult for you to meet the second time in your life. But opportunities and risks always coexist, and there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world.

  Marshland development is also full of risks. In the event of an unexpected situation, or some bears bragging, it may cause the project to lose everything.

   If you can't take the risk, just pretend I didn't say anything. After all, it's all your hard-earned money. If you lose it because you're too lazy, you can't rely on me. "
