Romance Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Arcanist!
"A jewelry brand, a harbor with an annual throughput of nearly 100 billion, the best shops on Danfeng Avenue, the famous White Deer Winery, the rich Bay Ranch, a port city with a tax of up to 50 billion, and a strong city defense army Silver Knights, this is the property of the Pavel family on the surface.
In addition, there are many unspeakable investments, such as the core league seat of the Syndicate Thieves, the Moon Creek Mine and the Oak Market, and so on. Brian counted them one by one, and said with emotion: "A long time ago, these things belonged to the young master, even if he didn't have all the control, he still had the right to use them, think about it, I feel so distressed!
The elves did not react visibly to these words, because they could not understand the meaning of these possessions, and they only knew the treasures of nature, which were very uncommercialized.
"Wow!" Anna, also as the child of a giant businessman, is the most sensitive to wealth, and has the most thorough understanding of Brian's explanation, she couldn't help but say: "In this way, the wealth of the Pavel family is probably ten times that of the Louis family!
Master Ron couldn't help but sigh: "It's really rich! With such a huge wealth, aren't you afraid of other people's eyes?!"
Brian explained: "The lord has long considered this problem, he has always pursued the balance of wealth and power, so he will form a marriage relationship with some dignitaries, and will invest so much in the Silver Knights, the standard of this city defense army is comparable to the city defense army in the imperial capital, and it cannot be compared with the royal guards because of political restrictions, and the equipment specifications are very different, after all, we are a commercial family." ”
After being silent for a long time, Charlie made some explanations: "Anna, in fact, the industries involved in my family are relatively high, I mean far away from life, it is an accessory of high society, and its value itself is inflated."
Like jewelry brands, wines and some luxury goods will be worthless after the war starts, and the same is true for real estate, the price of land in the port of Henes is higher than that of the port of Faro, and in the event of a war, the least valuable thing is the land, and the worse the war, the more depressed these industries become.
You've seen the devils, and it's almost expected that there will be a long downturn in these industries, so I don't really care much about them. ”
Brian smiled and said, "The young master is still open-minded, and I feel much more comfortable in my heart when I hear you say this." ”
Charlie shook his head, "It's not open-minded, but I don't have time to pay attention to these things for the time being, as long as it belongs to my father, no matter who touches it, I will definitely take it all back."
Now, I care about the Silver Knights, and if I can recruit them, I think I'll inherit at least half of my father's fortune!"
"Okay! The young master has a plan, so I feel much more at ease. ”
Zha thought for a moment and muttered, "Uncle Brian, I would like to ask you to elaborate on the structure and relationship of some of the main members of the Pavel family at present, I have never paid attention to these people before, and many of them don't even know their names, let alone the specific positions they are responsible for and the roles they play in the family. ”
"I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to tell you all about it, and my opinion may not be accurate, so I will mislead you, let some treacherous villains be blinded, and suffer some unpredictable losses. ”
Charlie smiled: "It's okay, Uncle Brian, you are an old man who has lived in the family for decades, who can escape your eyes? Besides, I never felt that I had friends or relatives in the Pavel family." ”
"Okay!" Brian closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and began to talk about the members of the Pavel family one by one according to the genealogy, but he didn't expect this to talk for more than three hours without stopping, drinking three pots of tea, before gradually describing a complete context.
From the perspective of family structure and function, the Pavel family resembles a relatively loosely structured business group, and blood ties are the strongest relationship ties among them.
The family has an elders' council, each elder is responsible for a part of the business, and is completely autonomous in terms of operation, only the presbyterian council appoints some financial supervisors to monitor the operation of the business, and does not interfere with specific operations, the patriarch has relatively weak control over the overall situation, and many times can only watch his siblings, uncles and uncles turn the business upside down, if the financial supervisors are bought, the basic family can not grasp the accurate business situation.
This was the rule set by the first generation of the head of the family, because the blood of the Pavel people seemed to flow with the characteristics of merchants, so the whole family blossomed and flourished in the morning.
However, with the passage of time, with the erosion of material materials on the quality of heirs, the disadvantages of this framework gradually became prominent, and family members stole and cheated for personal gain, and many industries suffered huge losses.
In this context, Archduke Thomas entered the family as the strongest, carried out drastic reforms, and achieved remarkable results, gradually bringing some industries back to life, taking back most of the power, which is equivalent to changing the structural nature of the Pavel family, turning into a centralized commercial institution, and the patriarch has control over some core resources.
Bringing Port Haynes into the international business organization of the Gold Coast Alliance, that's why he has such a high reputation in his family and Haynes City, coupled with his unrivaled strength and the feared Silver Knights, it can be said that Archduke Thomas is a well-deserved king in the Pavel family in Haynes City! He created an era, the "era of the Iron and Blood Grand Duke" of the Pavel family.
From the perspective of genealogy, Archduke Thomas has a total of nine brothers and sisters in his generation, and Thomas ranks third, because he is not the first in line, so the head of the family experienced some waves that year, and the eldest Pete died in the battle for the throne that year.
The remaining seven inherited the family business, such as the second Macedonian inherited the Bay Ranch, the fourth Caitlin inherited the White Hart Winery, the fifth Brad inherited the right to operate the port, and the sixth Aiden, the seventh Jacob, the eighth Ethan, and the ninth Carden each inherited other small businesses.
In addition to the heirs of the previous generation of patriarchs sharing the family industry, the Pavel family also has many subsidiary agent families to help the Pavel family operate and maintain some businesses or operate several layers of business in the business chain to gain living space, among which the larger families are: the Matar family, the Lannister family, the Dane family and the Hall family, for the specific business represented by these families, Brian is not very clear, only a vague impression.
That's right, the Costa family didn't make the list, the reason is simple, the Marquis of Gosta is more like a close friend of Archduke Thomas, and is not involved in business, but has some connection with the Silver Knights.
After entering the era of the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, there were few major changes in the acting families, except that the Pavel family had stronger control over these acting families, but the situation was different for these heirs, they almost all lost control of their own estates, so the relationship between the Grand Duke Thomas and his brother was not good.
Only Caitlyn is an exception, Caitlyn is a staunch supporter of Archduke Thomas, and she dotes on Charlie, Charlie also has a good impression of this fourth aunt in her mind, but since she fell ill, she has been poor in her travels, and has stayed in the corner of White Hart Winery and has not returned for a long time.
Listening to Brian talk about nearly a hundred people, Charlie has a relatively clear understanding of the overall situation and membership of the Pavel family, and the chip has sorted out a relatively complete family genealogy, everyone can find a comparison in this network, and everyone has their own personality.
Anna forcibly opened her tired eyes and asked, "Charlie, you are so good, you don't feel sleepy after listening to it for so long!"
Charlie smiled and didn't respond, and said in her heart, if she knew that she not only listened carefully, but also recorded and sorted out everyone's information, I don't know how she would react.
Perhaps feeling a little bored, Ron asked, "Charlie, what are you going to do next?"
Charlie sat quietly, not in a hurry to answer this question, but combed through all his thoughts in his heart, and slowly spit it out: "The biggest impact of the news of my father's death is that his influence in all aspects will accelerate and continue to decline, and it will decline faster and faster as time goes by.
The issue of fighting for property is not to be ignored for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to improve one's own strength and deal with the impact that the devil is about to bring to our world.
The problem of the Silver Knights, I will operate it personally, you don't have to worry about it, let me briefly arrange the respective tasks.
Teacher, I would like to start the second step of the Magic Seal Carving Factory, and teach those students simple enchantment, enchantment is the best entry point for all magic item making, because the essence of any magic item making is enchantment, but the techniques and techniques are different. ”
Master Ron nodded in understanding, as an archmage, he certainly knew how to train for primary enchantments.
"Morrowind, Therland, you can negotiate and settle the matter between you yourself, I hope you can merge together sincerely, in this era, only by twisting into a rope can you have the ability to resist the storm outside. ”
The two slender elves nodded in understanding.
"Anna, I have another task for you, I need to collect a batch of precious herb seedlings, no matter what channel you go through, I only need one result. As he spoke, Charlie reported the names of a bunch of herbs.
Anna exclaimed: "Many of these are contraband controlled by the Empire?! If you dare to grow them, aren't you afraid that the peacekeepers will kill you? Besides, even if you are not afraid, do you know how to cultivate these precious herbs? Master Ron told me that it takes a lot of time and energy to find a cultivation method for each herb to ensure its survival rate. ”
Charlie smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have a group of herbalist experts, and there is a place where others will never find it, you just have to find these things." ”
