Chapter Forty-Eight: The Development of the Manor
Chen Chen, who returned to the manor, took the three of Lista to the castle, and was about to ask Victor to arrange a place for them to live, when Lista spoke.
"Chen, can you arrange a house close to the lake for me? Because of my current situation, I can't do without water, and so are the two of them, and we can't stand it for a few hours, so you know? After speaking, he looked at Chen Chen.
"Well, it seems that the strength you have gained is not very good, limit! There are so many after-effects, Victor, clean up the holiday home by the lake, we have guests to stay there. Chen Chen said to Victor who came over.
"Okay, master, I'll arrange it, now invite the guests to dine with David." After saying that, he told David to take the three of Lista to the restaurant.
Victor didn't leave immediately after the arrangement: "Master, I have something to report to you, you see?" ”
"Okay, come with me to the study, let's go inside." Chen Chen nodded and took Victor to the study.
"Master, this is the information I found about the winemaker, of course, I have to find them to have a better understanding, in addition, I have contacted the horse farm, and I can go to see the horse tomorrow, including the technical staff of the horse master will also arrive in the next few days, as long as the owner can officially take up his post after the inspection." Victor said and took out a thick book of materials and handed it to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen took the information, and when he saw the information that could be used as a murder weapon to shoot people, Chen Chen rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "Victor, it's good for you to see these, I just need to see the results, I believe you won't let me down." ”
"Good master, in addition, the brewing workshop has been built, the purchased brewing vessel has been installed, just wait for the brewer to start, master, what is the potion you gave, we found that this thing makes the growth rate of plants several times faster when we mix, so that we will have a lot more wine and vegetables and grains than other estates." Victor deliberately lowered his voice when he said the potion, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"Victor, don't be so nervous, only I can configure this thing, so even if it is known, who can do what to me, the more things you weave, the better, if you can't use it, you can sell it, by the way, Victor, remember to go to the town to open a shop, London will also open, just sell our own vegetables, fruits and wine, what do you say?" Chen Chen said his plan.
"Master, of course things can be sold, it's a bit troublesome to open your own store, you can let others come to us to buy goods, and the transaction will be settled in cash every time, so that you can avoid taxes, and the initiative is also in our hands, you can give goods to whomever you want." Victor laughed weirdly when he talked about tax avoidance, as if he often did it.
"Oh! Looks like you're confident in our stuff? Chen Chen saw that Victor actually said that he could give goods to whomever he wanted, and he didn't seem to be worried about not being able to sell things at all.
"Master, you don't care too much about your own property, the fruit of the manor has already produced a batch because of the potion, I tried it, and the taste is definitely the best, so I have to remind you again, master, that the potion must be kept secret, even if only you know it, but if someone threatens you, you don't seem to have the power to protect your own things, so I hope you protect this secret." Victor reminded Chen Chen again, because he had seen too many things about framing others for a certain formula.
"Since you said this, then I'll talk about my thoughts, I am now about to develop my power, and my first step is to open a martial arts hall in my manor and recruit apprentices." Chen Chen thought of the plan that No. 1 had told him, so he brought it up.
"But master, what's the use of this, what role can you play in opening a martial arts hall, and you don't have that much fame, with all due respect, probably no one will come to this rural place to study." Victor said worriedly.
"Fame, it will be soon, I've already found someone to do this, as for what you said, what is the effect of what I said, if most of the people I recruit are the children of nobles and the children of the rich, you must know that the influence of these people is very great, but the countryside is indeed a problem, it seems that I have to make some changes in the manor." Chen Chen attached great importance to the situation mentioned by Victor that few people came to the countryside.
"Yes, I decided to open a business community in the manor, so that people who live and study here will not get bored, but this is a costly project, so you have to take your time." Thinking of the problem of money, Chen Chen had a headache again, now he has an idea and no money, he used to think that 10 million pounds was a lot, but now it seems that it is very difficult to supply this manor.
"Victor, how much money do we have, how long can we maintain the expenses of the estate, and how long will it be profitable?" Chen Chen asked Victor.
"Master, at present, you only have to pay labor wages, so, it is still abundant, but your winery also has a horse farm, these two are more expensive, but not too big, so you still have eight million pounds, and as long as the winemaker arrives, you can produce wine, but it has to be fermented, so it will have to wait a few months, of course, a batch can come out at Christmas, oh yes, it costs a lot of money to buy a long barrel, but it is not too much, it is less than six thousand pounds, and vegetables and fruits are already ready to be marketed." Victor gave Chen Chen a detailed introduction to the financial situation of the manor.
"Why long oak barrels? We can't afford a new one? Chen Chen asked strangely.
"Of course not, but only the old ones can be made immediately, and if the new ones are new, they can't be filled directly, and the red wine that is not packed in oak barrels can't react with the tannins, so it's not called red wine." Victor explained.
"Tomorrow I will go to see the horses in the horse farm, and by the way, I will find the engineering team, I will build a martial arts hall by the lake, oh yes, Vincent is coming tomorrow, then let's go see the horses the day after tomorrow, by the way, I came back so old, why didn't I see Catherine." Chen Chen finally remembered his ** at this time.
"Master, Ms. Catherine is resting in the room, by the way, master, I'm going to arrange accommodation for the guests, I'll go down first." For Chen Chen's careful thoughts, Wei Ke understood it quickly, and the acquaintance left.
Seeing Victor's reaction and leave quickly, Chen Chen smiled, the housekeeper is shrewd, he just asked, he could guess what he was thinking, thinking of Catherine Chen Chen felt that his whole body was on fire, so he walked out of the room, and then went upstairs to find Catherine, there is no Lilian that little troublemaker today, hahaha Who else can stop me.
When he came to Catherine's door, Chen Chen knocked on the door first, and then opened the door without waiting for the answer from inside, and when he entered, he heard a voice from inside, "You guy, bully me as soon as you come back, hum!" You are not allowed to come up, and Lillian will come and do so in a moment. It was Catherine's voice.
"Hahaha, today I have sent Lillian to her father, the voice is mine tonight, and now I will collect the interest you owed me yesterday." Chen Chen's villain said proudly, needless to say, it was another beautiful night.
