Chapter Ninety-Three: The Meeting
In fact, at the beginning, there were many people who persuaded von Bock to continue to occupy the mountain as the king and live the life of the eldest and my second, but von Bock had a clear strategic vision, and he knew that the reason why the bandits in the three northern counties could make trouble was entirely because the Rhine Kingdom was worried about internal and external troubles, which annoyed the strong neighbors, and the country was captured by the coalition forces of others, and the old king Frederick VII ran to accompany the capital, which made the government institutions of the three northern counties even more dysfunctional, so that they could take advantage of the situation.
Later, the country was re-stabilized, and the Rhine Kingdom exchanged peace for the humiliating "Rhine Pact" in exchange for the return of the king to the capital, which means that the state apparatus of the Rhine Kingdom was newly established, and it was only a matter of time before the king ran the three northern counties, and it would not be very sensible to jump like this.
Therefore, the smart and far-sighted von Bock decisively chose to surrender, and he, a bandit who made a lot of trouble at the time, was willing to surrender, which can be said to be a huge heart disease of the magistrate, and the other party naturally accepted it gladly, and then, von Bock performed well in a series of anti-bandit operations, and gradually mixed up, becoming the Chaoen County boss who now commands more than 1,000 people.
It can be seen from this that this person's political vision is so vicious, although he was born recklessly, but Collifer did not dare to despise him at all, such a person, if not particularly unlucky, will definitely come out in the future, rather than set up a strong rival, it is better to make a friend, even if he can't make friends, Collifor doesn't want to fall out with him now.
"Master, master." Liana gently pulled the sleeve of Laklifo, raised her big eyes and looked at Clifo a little timidly, and said, "Is that von Bock very powerful?" ”
Only then did Clifford come back to his senses, and suddenly realized that he had lost his temper just now, and it would not be good if he gave this little girl the impression that she was afraid of Von Bock, it would simply affect her tall and majestic image in her mind, patted her little head, and said lightly: "It's nothing, he's just a surrendered bandit, and that Joseph is all the way, so there's nothing to be afraid of." ”
Liana nodded lightly, pulled Clifford's arm, raised her big eyes, pouted her small mouth, and said cutely, "Then are we going or not?" Master. ”
"Of course, why not?" Clifford was a little puzzled and said, "If we can buy a ready-made distillery, it will save us a lot of effort." With that, he took his men and Olivia and walked towards the winery.
"Father, where are you going with Earl Clifford?" As soon as he went out, he met Olivia's daughter Winnie, and when the other party saw that there were so many of them, he was curious and asked with a smile.
Olivia said lightly: "Count Clifford has taken a fancy to a winery in the south of the city, and we are going to negotiate the price with him." ”
"I'm going too, and I can also help Earl Clifford to prevent him from being deceived." As soon as Winnie heard that she was going to negotiate, she was immediately interested, cheering and jumping and clamoring to go.
"What a mess a kid is filling!" Olivia reprimanded resentfully, and waved her home.
"Alright, Mr. Olivia, one more person will have more strength, Miss Winnie is in charge early, and must know a certain amount of about the winery, if she is willing to go, she will definitely help me." As soon as Collie saw Winnie's pretty melon seed face and her lively and lovely appearance, he liked it in his heart, and longed to spend more time with her, so as to establish his tall and majestic image in her heart.
"That's it, that's it." Winnie smiled sweetly, like a cheerful bird, jumped to Cleford's side, graciously grabbed his arm, and said: "It's still Lord Clifford, let's go, after you go, I will try to help you bargain." ”
Olivia was helpless, his daughter was willful, and he couldn't control her, but he thought about it, this Count Clifford didn't seem to have a wife, if his daughter could marry him, wouldn't it be a great thing, so he didn't interfere with the intimate actions of the two of them, as for Liana, he didn't take it to heart, just a slave, even if he was favored again, what waves could he make?
When the group came to the distillery in the south of the city, Coolford took a rough look at the overall layout of the winery, and saw that it covers an area of not small, about more than 30 acres of land, such a winery can already meet the most basic production needs of Coolford.
You know, in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the famous enterprise Changyu Company, its production plant is only 61 acres, but people still have more than 1,200 acres of grape orchards, as well as a large number of hired workers, Changyu Company's total investment in more than 3 million taels of silver, in exchange for the silver dollar used by Clifford is about more than 3 million, he does not have so much money now, there is no way to get his own vineyard, can only first take down this half-dead plant, and then find a way to expand.
After the porter's report, Collie and the others met the actual owner of the distillery, von Bock, his brother-in-law was just in name, and he had nothing to do today, so he came to the distillery to walk around.
Von Bock had seen each other, Clefo and Olivia, and as soon as they saw the two, they immediately greeted each other with a smile: "I said how I am always happy in my heart today, it turns out that you two old brothers are coming, please come in, please come in." With that, he immediately warmly took the hands of the two and pulled them into the lobby of the house, and inadvertently, his eyes caught a glimpse of Winnie behind Clifford, and his heart couldn't help but light up.
Collie Fu glanced at this white-faced scholar-like little man, and said in his heart that this person is really not simple, he is so much younger than him, he doesn't blush at all when he calls his brother, no wonder people give the nickname "Wanxi", it seems that this person really has a set of skills.
Collifer didn't speak, and Olivia, as his younger brother, spoke first and said casually: "Mr. von Bock, Earl Colliford heard that you have a winery for sale, so come and take a look to see if we can reach an agreement." He originally wanted to send Clifford's sycophant, but when his daughter heard it, she secretly pursed her lips and smiled, and because she was standing behind, no one saw it.
"Oh, it turns out that Lord Earl wants to buy a winery, it's really unfortunate, if this winery is mine, I will give it to you directly. It's a pity, this is my brother-in-law, you say that I'm a brother-in-law, so I have to think about my brother-in-law, don't you? Von Bock laughed as he arranged for everyone to sit down, as if he was familiar with everyone.
