Coming out of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of France, after a period of travel, the convoy soon arrived at the intersection of Swan Street and began to drive slowly in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guards saw the intricately carved family crest of the Menshanons family on the carriage, and did not stop it, allowing the entire convoy to enter Swan Street.

Laurie lifted the veil that covered the car windows, and the buildings on Swan Street on both sides slowly receded, and it was very quiet in the middle of the day, with not a single pedestrian to be seen on the road, and the shops seemed to be slowly asleep at this time, not at all like the bustling scene at night.

"It's been a while, but Swan Street is still the same, and the families are still entrenched here like nails." Laurie shook his head and said.

"It's just because people are able to gain a foothold here, and it's a testament to the ability of a businessman. People who don't have some family background don't dare to drill here! Sophia shook her head and smiled at her father's words.

In fact, it is not a big deal for various families to open a store on Swan Street, even if this is a prime location in the royal capital, and the purchase and decoration of the store are worth a lot, but for the families with rich families, it is still affordable.

The turnover here is not as good as expected, and the profit is not as good as a caravan with five or six merchant ships, and a trip back and forth between the eastern and southern continents makes a profit.

Being able to set up shop on this street is more of a symbol of honor and status.

Just like the title of "royal" of the British royal family that the merchants of the other world demand, in the aristocratic circles of the Kingdom of France, it is the service of this street, and being able to open a shop here means that you have obtained the "royal" qualification in the aristocratic circles of the Kingdom of France, and when you negotiate with others outside, you will be looked down upon by the other party because of this relationship.

This has led to large merchants flocking to the shops on this street.

But Swan Street is so long, and there are no more than fifty stores combined, so the competition here is fierce, and the merchants and chambers of commerce who can set up shop here are also very valuable.

In the fierce business competition in the Kingdom of France, if you succeed in fighting on Swan Street, it often means that your Chamber of Commerce will develop rapidly.

On the contrary, if a big businessman loses his store in Swan Street, it often means that the chamber of commerce he presides over is beginning to decline.

"Huh." Laurie smiled and didn't say much.

But Sophia reacted quickly, and she instantly understood what Laurie wanted to say.

Swan Street is like a microcosm of the battlefield in the business circles of the Kingdom of France, and behind these storefronts stand behemoths like their own chambers of commerce, which everyone knows.

But in fact, this is not the end, because behind the huge chamber of commerce, there must be a powerful family standing to escort the development of their chamber of commerce.

And Laurie was talking about "several families" rather than which chambers of commerce, so what he was talking about was actually the old families within the Kingdom of Fran.

Over the years, these old families have long been green about the wealth of the Menshanons family, and their saliva has been almost flowing all over the place, but their previous methods have all been resolved by Laurie.

Laurie has never been a man of condescension.

It was this courage to defy fate and wisdom far beyond ordinary people that allowed him to turn danger into danger again and again, and finally became a legendary merchant in the Kingdom of Fran.

How can such a person not have ambition? How can you be willing to let others take care of it?

So from the very beginning, Laurie hoped that the Menshanons family would be among the top families in the Kingdom of Fran.

Sophia has been very sensible since she was a child, and she has always known that the Menshanons family is still weak, and the family's rapidly expanding wealth has attracted the peep of wild wolves.

Therefore, in the Royal Academy of Magic of the Kingdom of France, Sophia has always been very strong.

The Kingdom of France and the surrounding countries are in a state of war all the year round, so they have always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents, and the current king of the Kingdom of France is still wise, and it is also in the interests of the King of the Kingdom of France to support a new nobleman and the original old nobles to compete for power.

As long as Sophia is talented and strong enough, then the girl will gain the attention of the higher ranks and the royal family, and no one in the whole kingdom will dare to touch her at that time.

One is a high-profile genius in the Academy of Magic, and the other is a legend who has reached the top in business, Sophia and Laurie's father and daughter work together seamlessly, plus the two have gathered many allies over the years, which makes everyone who is jealous of their Chamber of Commerce's wealth.

In the eyes of others, the family with these two men is bound to rise. If you want to do something to them, it's not as simple as losing a tooth, and if one is not good, it is very likely that you will lose yourself.

Laurie and Sophia believe that over time. In a few years, as long as Sophia survives this most critical period and successfully advances to the fourth-order magician, they will be promoted to one of the top families in the Fran Kingdom, and then they will no longer have to look like walking on thin ice all day long like this.

However, the hope is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

With the sudden enrollment of a little girl named Ellie Elialos, the Menshanons family, who were in good condition, took a turn for the worse.

First of all, His Majesty's attitude became ambiguous, and the powerful old nobles who had long since died down became more and more frequent, and it only took an opportunity for this group of hungry wolves to open their mouths and tear off a large piece of meat from the Menshanons family.

Laurie certainly knew what His Majesty meant.

The Menshanons family has already underestimated them in terms of being rich and rivaling the country, if you add a powerful Sophia, then the promotion to the top family of the Fran Kingdom must be an absolute matter, and it is not worth mentioning to contain the old nobles in the kingdom.

But as time goes on, there is a good chance that the Menshanons will become another rival of the king, which His Majesty does not want.

On the contrary, if it were the Elialos family, it would be different.

The Elialos family was not as wealthy as the Menshanons family, and even their ancestors did not have any excellent magicians, so Ellie's education and resources for practicing magic must be provided by the state.

And Ellie is very young now, as long as the royal family maintains a good relationship with this little Lori and even forms an in-marriage, then the future of the Kingdom of France will definitely have a strong person who is very loyal to the royal family, rather than raising a new hungry wolf like the Menshanons family.

Obviously, it was in the king's interest to support the Elialos family rather than to invest in the Menshanons family.

After Laurie laughed, neither of them spoke again, now the situation of the family is really not optimistic, and that kind of thing happened just now, and both of them have a feeling in their hearts that a storm is coming.

Just after silence had shrouded the carriage for a while, the knight outside the carriage knocked on the door and said loudly, "My lord, 16 Swan Street has arrived!" ”
