041 Risk Pass-through

During the conversation, she didn't seem to know what the family was doing at all, thinking that it was just a "real estate business".

Personally, she is also unlikely to manage Mafia.

If it continues to develop like this, it can only be used as a bargaining chip to forcibly marry out.

So it seems.

"Hmm. Colin nodded, "I probably know why you're entertaining me." ”

"Eh, me, you?"

"Obviously, I'm a young talent, and you're a nothing...... A young woman of school age. Colin analyzed, "Your father wants us to know each other, then get married, and then take possession of my talents." ”

"Wait, wait...... Why are you getting married?" Luna exclaimed, "You're insane!!"

"Hmph, it's worthy of Salo, a very pragmatic and effective means. Colin looked Luna up and down, "I have reservations about you personally, but please tell your father that I am very cautious about marriage and do not want to be seen as a member of Mafia by outsiders for the time being." ”

"Oops!!!" Luna's head hugged deeper, "I've only known each other for two minutes, and if you don't have anything, you're going to get out of the marriage!"

"It's really not an offense, I just don't want you and your father to waste time on me. ”

"You're really, really thinking too much, Mr. Colin. Luna raised her arms vigorously and posed a large fork, "I don't have any ideas, I'm just entrusted to entertain my partner." ”

"Whatever you want. Colin shook his head, took the tea from the servant, just brought it to his mouth, hesitated for a moment, put it back on the table, and then patted Erin, "Drink more hot water." ”

"Oh?" said Erin, looking at the hot tea, suddenly grateful.

Teacher, in the end, I still feel sorry for myself.

She picked up the cup and took a sip gently, not daring to take too much, and returned more than half of it: "Teacher, let's drink saliva too." ”

"I'll wait. Colin looked Erin up and down, "Does your throat burn, does your stomach hurt?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm. Colin saw that Erin was fine, so he drank the tea.

Erin felt weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

But she was quickly relieved, after all, she was a teacher, and it was natural that she couldn't understand it.

"Hey, don't digress. Luna knelt on the couch, grabbed the armrest and glared at Colin, "I'm going to have a career, get married or something, it's absolutely impossible, don't think about it." ”

"Got it. Colin smiled and put down his teacup.

"Ahem......" The familiar coughing sound came, and Salo knocked on the door with a cane with the help of the servant, "Young man, don't talk too much, let alone love." ”

Luna jumped over the sofa and picked up the old father in place of the maid: "Don't talk about Dad, how can you get married before you have a career!"

Salo shook his head in disappointment: "You're wrong, I just have a career through marriage." ”

“...... Dad, this kind of thing shouldn't be said so proudly. ”

"Mr. Salro. Colin politely stood up and bowed slightly, "Excuse me." ”

"Between us, there is no need to talk this nonsense. After Saro sat down, he looked at the sloppy Luna from top to bottom, "Faro's tuition is really paid for nothing......

"......" Luna covered her face and bowed her head, taking small steps and retreating, "Well, you can talk slowly." ”

"It's okay, sit down. Salo patted the couch, "Don't you want to know about the family business, now is the time to start." ”

"!!!" Luna instantly flipped over the sofa and kissed her old father's face, and then sat on the spot like an old girl in the Northeast, wiping her nose and smiling, "Got it, Mr. Colin, I'm a negotiator." ”

"You should learn from that young lady. Salo looked at the tool bodyguard Erin, "Before you are sure that you are qualified, you will listen silently." ”

Luna raised her hand to hold her mouth, saying no more, just staring at her.

"Let's get started. Salo nodded at Colin.

"I want to develop the woods in the western suburbs into farms. Colin went straight to the point, "I will find someone to do it myself, except for the Lehmann family, I will not hire existing farmers in the whole process, nor will I plant crops from other farmlands, purely, with new people, to create new fields." ”

Salo pondered a little and asked, "Do you need Maffia's help?"

"No, just informed. "Considering that the western suburbs are mainly under the jurisdiction of Mafia, it is necessary for me to take a position that my development plan will not interfere with any of Mafiya's existing interests, and I hope to have your support." ”

"Of course, Mafia will certainly support the partners. "That's why I need to remind you that the farmers in the western suburbs are not good men and women, and they plunder each other, steal the grain from the fields, and even destroy the crops in the surrounding fields, just so that they can sell more of their goods." That's why we were entrusted with protecting their farmland, which of course had to be charged, and the farmers naturally complained about the fees. ”

As he spoke, he nodded earnestly at Colin and said, "Don't believe the words of those farmers, they can completely not entrust us with protection, but in that case, their harvest will probably be robbed by others." Also, you know, the deep-sea killing has raised the price of the local economy very high, and I can't do anything to feed so many young people. ”

Erin looked at Salo in a trance.

This guy ...... It's all right......

It's so reasonable.

"Hmm......" Colin rubbed his chin, "that is, if I develop new farmland without authorization, it is likely that it will be destroyed by the people around me?"

"It's almost inevitable. Salo lit the table and said, "As a partner, I will tell the children to take care of you, but everyone has to eat, and I can't put so many people to help you all the time, and if someone really wants to destroy it, I can't do anything about it." ”

"What if I'm willing to pay some fees?" asked Colin, "so can you send more men on your side to keep my farmland safe?"

"For the sake of my friends, I will send as many people as possible, and the more people there are, the safer it is. Salo nodded, "I'll send as many people as your fees can support." You know, for friends, Mafia doesn't earn a penny. ”

It was only at this point that Erin suddenly realized.

Who else but you bald heads will destroy farmland?

In the end, they still have to collect rent in circles!

"But I'm strapped for cash right now...... Colin rubbed his head, "Can I use the harvest to offset my expenses?"

"Of course, I can help you pay the children's wages first. Salo took a sip of tea and smiled, "By the way, what are you going to plant?"

"Potatoes. ”

"Ahem......" Salo coughed again, "this harvest...... It's not easy to calculate, are you going to sell potato flowers locally?"

"The locals can't afford to consume it, and I'm too lazy to ship it out, it's just a hobby. Colin raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's good, ninety percent of the potato flowers in the field are worth Mafia, okay?"

"Ninety percent?" Salo narrowed his eyes, "in that case...... I guarantee you won't even get a rat into your field. ”

"It's decided?" Colin smiled and stretched out his right hand, "It's up to Mafia to protect the new fields I opened up in the western suburbs." ”

"Ninety percent potato flowers. Salo also extended his right hand, "not to employ existing farmers, nor to grow the same crops as them." ”

Two insincere hands, clasped tightly.

It's like gambling capital.

This is followed by the standard processes of "stay for dinner" and "I have something to do".

After a series of hypocritical courtesies, Luna sends Colin out of the courtyard.

Leaving her father, Luna dared to speak, "You just said ...... Planting and playing?"

"Well, I love farming. Colin said very sincerely.

"But they say you're at least a two-dimensional transcendent. In Faro, a strong man of this strength can serve any big lord at will, and he can even be given private land. Luna scratched her head, "You should go over there anyway?"

"No, I hate war, the lord is tying you up with the field and asking you to help him fight. Colin asked rhetorically, "What about you, you can stay in Faro's as well." ”

"No, no, no, you don't understand...... Men and women are in completely different situations......" Luna waved her hand, "In Faro, my way out is to practice etiquette, pack myself, go to balls, socialize like crazy, and marry a decent nobleman." With this in mind, I'd better save up for an inspiration rune. ”

"Isn't it good for Salo to give it to you directly?"

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, the eldest brother and the second sister failed to comprehend the runes, and the third brother got a whole boat and went to Helensu...... Father can't afford my runes anymore. Luna waved her fist confidently, "Fortunately, I've learned a lot, so let's see, I'll be able to use my fists and kicks on Iland Island and get the runes on my own." ”

"Okay, come on. Colin waved goodbye.

Luna couldn't bear to let Colin go like this: "Father said that I will be your contact person in the future, and if there is a profitable business, you must partner with me." ”

"Oh. ”

"A little sincerity, okay!"

"The 'oh' sound is already very face-saving for you. ”

“......”

After walking a little farther, Erin asked, "Teacher, forgive me for being stupid, hand over ninety percent of the potato flowers, we lost this business, right?"

"A small loss is regarded as cleaning up non-performing assets. Colin smiled and looked at the east shore, "Think about it, agriculture is Mafia's territory, and the docks are the trade of deep sea killing, if we grow potatoes and flowers and sell them, it is equivalent to challenging the interests of both sides at the same time, they will immediately get nervous and jointly find a way to deal with me." Although I am not afraid of them, if they use all their financial resources to find some killers from outside the island, it will still make it inconvenient for me. ”

"Then you don't sell potato flowers, you can rot in the ground, why is Mafia so cheap?"

"It's not cheap, it's risk transfer. Colin raised his hand and gestured, "Salo who got the potato flower has two options, one is to cooperate with Deep Sea Kill to transport the potato flower out of the island, but then he won't get much profit. The second is to find a way to transport it out of the island by himself, but in this way, the cheese of the deep sea killing will be moved, what do you think Salo will choose?"

"I ...... I don't know. ”

"I don't know. But it doesn't matter, the greedy he has already accepted the poison I gifted, and no matter what he chooses, I will have follow-up arrangements. Colin rubbed his hands, "Erin, what is the gang most afraid of?—— it's another gang!

Inside the villa, Luna is pulled by Salo as soon as she enters.

"How's it going?" Salo asked cautiously, "how do you feel about Colin?"

"It's kind of ...... Strange, but overall ok. ”

"Are you willing?"

"What willing?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?" said Salo with a glare, "You hate noble balls, no problem, this time I have sent a wonderful unmarried man to you, don't you know how to fight?"

"Daddy!" exclaimed Luna, "that is...... I really...... I've been divorced!"

"It's really not angry. Salo thumped his legs with hatred, "But there is still a chance, the matter of the western suburbs farm will be handed over to you, and you will have to take the initiative later." ”

"Why!" Luna laughed angrily, "Small nose, small eyes, big face, two-dimensional transcendent is amazing?"

"Well, it's really remarkable. ”

“......”
