Chapter 18: The Seven Masters Gather
For the common people, there is no bandit looting or pirate looting, and then there is food and clothing, and abundant food and clothing is happiness.
For the noble and rich, eating the most expensive food in the world, drinking the best and strongest wine in the world, playing with the most beautiful woman in front of them, and then the family is getting stronger and stronger in their own hands, grasping the power and status that the common people cannot grasp, and then exploiting the common people at the bottom to strengthen their own family, this is the happiness in their eyes!
Everyone's standard view of happiness is inconsistent, just like at this time Lacey said his own understanding of happiness, most of the adults present snorted, for Lacey, who was young and didn't understand what happiness was, naturally did not agree with Lacey's views and explanations of the word happiness.
In this regard, Lacey can only shrug his shoulders and continue to rub his belly with his sister Ellie, as for the view of happiness, it can only be seen by the benevolent, and the wise can see the wise!
But I didn't know that my mother Lena on the side heard Reis's understanding of happiness, and a warm smile appeared on her face, but no one saw it!
......
The house is full of warmth and warmth of the Beirut family, naturally they don't know their enemies, and the heads of the seven families gathered in the Harry family's manor villa, which is the leader of the seven families, tonight.
Harry's Manor Villa, a room full of candles on the second floor, sat seven middle-aged and elderly men with different looks and appearances, seven people sat around a long table, and were fiercely denouncing the head of the Harry family who sat on the throne. Tebo.
"What the hell is going on? Where did the Beirut family get the ice for sale? Why didn't you Harry family remind or react at all! A fat man of short stature, large and broad was the first to face Harry. Tepo shouted: "And for such a long time, you still haven't found the source of the Beirut family's ice?" ”
The fat man looked very excited, and his right hand kept slapping on the table, facing Harry, the head of the Harry family. Tebo spat wildly, as if his family had suffered a lot of damage during this period of time!
"Finger, calm down, none of us thought that the Beirut family actually had a business route to sell ice, what's the use of you shouting at me alone so excited?"
Tebo looked at Finger, who was spitting at him with a gloomy face, squinted his eyes with a cold glow, and pointed to the other five people present and said, "Besides, this is a common thing for our seven families, what are you doing to our Harry family alone?" ”
This obese middle-aged man is the head of the Seven Families of the Sigfen family. Finger, and the largest source of business for the Stringen family is to rely on the five huge seafaring merchant ships owned by the family to sell ice from the North Sea to the East China Sea, and eight-tenths of the family's annual source of funds is to rely on the sale of the lucrative ice cubes in the North Sea.
Syllable! A loud slap on the table suddenly sounded!
"It's your Harry family who has been sending people to spy on the Beirut family, and you say it's not your responsibility?"
Snowfing. Finger looked excited, faced the aggrieved Tebo, pointed at him and said in a fierce voice: "Do you know how much my Sigoffen family has lost during this period because of the sudden rise of the Beirut family? Just because your Harry family is not doing well, didn't you say that there is an internal response in the Beirut family? What about the news? ”
"It turned out to be nothing! You Harry family haven't given us any news! ”
During this time, with the discovery of the method of saltpeter ice, the Beirut family did not stop rising, until that day, Viscount Betch put the saltpeter ice workshop in his manor villa, let the loyal and reliable old brother of the Jerpie lead to make and sell, with the saltpeter that does not cost his own family and the inexhaustible water of this world, Gyel who manages this matter will naturally not let go of all the families who can do business.
Didn't other seafaring merchants start with 10,000 pounds and 10,000 becchi? Well, the Beirut family only costs 8,000 Baileys per 100 catties, and it will never increase in price and will never be out of stock! As long as the seafaring merchant lowers the price, then the Beirut family will also reduce the price, and this sales method of Győr can make those seafaring merchants who want to sell ice to make money complain, and the most bitter is naturally the Greffin family, which is also mainly engaged in the ice business.
During this period of time, Finger could only look at his huge ships full of ice with tears in his eyes every day, docked in the crowded port, but no one cared to buy ice, and the ice on the ship could only turn into streams of clear water flowing down the plywood to the sea under the scorching sun.
It takes money to recruit a large number of sailors to escort the ship, the travel from the East China Sea to the North Sea needs to spend money to deal with the high-ranking officials and magnates everywhere, and several huge sea ships need to spend a lot of maintenance fees every time they return to the sea, and the family's biggest profit point of the year is to rely on the summer for four months, and now with the rise of the Beirut family selling ice, there is nothing!
In this period of time alone, the huge amount of money spent by the family on the sea boat along the way, but under the "inadvertent" suppression of the Beirut family, all the money earned by the Sigoffen family this year has come to naught!
But it's only been a month! With nearly two months of scorching weather to go, is it just watching the Beirut family sell ice cubes and rise again?
......
"Actually, Finger is right, Tebo, this matter is really your Harry family's fault!"
An abrupt word sounded in everyone's ears, and all eyes were on the middle-aged man beside Finger.
The bloated head of the Finger family, next to him sat a middle-aged man with a face of nearly forty years old, since he entered the room, he sat on the seat without saying a word, only took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, as if the lenses were very dirty, meticulously lowered his head and held a white hand towel to wipe the lenses slightly, until the words that suddenly sounded just now, everyone found that he was still here!
"I wonder what's wrong with the Harry family?" Tebo stared fiercely at Garcia, who suddenly spoke out in support of Finger. Tom.
For the direct gaze of the crowd and the murderous gaze of Tepo, Garcia. Tom didn't care, and said without raising his head: "Tebo, the Harry family is the leading family in our alliance of seven families, and the six of us have always respected the Harry family as the leader, and in the past few months, under the leadership of the Harry family of Tepo, our seven families have achieved great benefits and achievements, and have successfully cracked down on all the businesses of the Beirut family, so that the Beirut family is about to perish!" This is undeniable! ”
"In the past, the news of the Beirut family has always been provided by your Harry family, and you yourself have told us that you have an internal response to the Beirut family, so everything about the Beirut family, except for that matter, we did not agree to you, and the rest of us acted under your command, and never questioned you, because our six major families believe in the Harry family!"
"But now! The Beirut family, which is almost broken, has been monitored by your Harry family, and when your Harry family has internal responses, they have actually broken a way to survive! ”
"That's it! Why has the Harry family, who have always been well-informed, done something in this month for almost a month? Where does the ice come from? What about your name? The Harry family hasn't heard from our six families for over a month! ”
"You Tebo is in charge of the Harry family, and you have all the sources of news in the Goya Kingdom, you should know that in the past month or so, the bitch of the Beirut family has begun to take revenge on the business of our six major families, do you know it!"
"Just because of the sudden appearance of the ice, all our previous efforts have been wiped out, do you know?"
Speaking of this exciting news, even Garcia, the head of the Garcia family, who has always been calm. Tom, who couldn't help the resentment in his heart, threw the handkerchief in his hand to the ground, put on his glasses and raised his head to stare at Tebo's eyes, opposite Potter's needle!
Let the noisy room suddenly be quiet! The heads of the six families, all staring at Potter as Garcia. Tom spoke the mind and thought of all of them!
......
"Hehe, hehe, I'm laughing to death!!"
Listen to Garcia. Tom's accusation and questioning, Tebo, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed to have heard a big joke, touched his stomach and actually laughed, almost tears were about to laugh, laughing while looking at the heads of the family with different expressions below, and then slowly gasped for breath, stood up condescendingly, and looked down at Garcia. Tom Six, the corners of his mouth slightly pulled as if he was mocking the six people in front of him, and said coldly: "This is what you think?" ”
"Yes, that's what we think together!"
"It's not just the interests of the Siffen family that have been harmed, in fact, the other five of us have also been like Tom said, and the family's business has begun to be retaliated against by the Beirut family!"
"As for the Harry family's business, the bitch of the Beirut family can't retaliate, otherwise your Harry family will not be able to escape Becky's business retaliation!"
"All of this is because your Harry family is not doing well!"
"That's right! It's all because you don't know anything about the Harry family! ”
......
The heads of the other four major families also fought with Geffen and Tom to accuse Tebo's Harry family.
During this period of time, except for the Harry family, for the heads of the other six major families, it was really like being grilled on the fire in person, and it was extremely uncomfortable to want to live and die, but they had no choice but to passively accept the reality and face the revenge of the Beirut family's business, because they had no means to counter the Beirut family's business route of selling ice!
It's just that the Beirut family has been selling ice for nearly a month, relying on the cheap and never out of stock, and the ice business has shrouded the entire Goa Kingdom's ice market, accounting for nearly seventy percent of the market! This is the share data reported by Jair to Becky, although the profits are small but the sales are high, but the huge market still makes the Beirut family enter 10 million a day, and it is a daily income of 10 million! The fact that they have earned without any capital shows how much wealth the magnates and wealthy merchants of the Goya Kingdom have.
So in a short period of time, the business of the Beirut family, which had been cut off on the surface, was restored, and for Becky, there was no such thing as a gentleman taking revenge for ten years, so it was natural to repay and repay the business, and began to snipe at the business of the six major families.
