Sun Dao naturally remembered that before leaving, Su Yan had introduced him to the heads of various properties of the Firth family, and the old Albert, as a housekeeper, was in charge of finances and land, according to the situation at that time and now, this family seems to form a housekeeper family that has served the Firth family for generations.

Such a family is not a lot in this world, many wealthy nobles behind the background have a servant family attached to themselves, the interests of both sides are the same, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, so when doing things, it is also extremely hard, although it will not abandon selfish interests, completely selfless, but at least there will not be too many small actions, if there is an outstanding person in the vassal family, it will even be of great benefit to the main family.

Of course, such a character will be recruited by the master most of the time and enter the bloodline system.

"The Albert family, if they can really establish a mechanized production farm that affects the food supply of a kingdom, it means that this family is indeed capable, and if I were Su Yan, I would definitely take a good look at it."

Albert Jr. is still introducing: "The second pillar is the Firth Newspaper, which originated from the Firth Paper Mill, and the original person in charge was Ms. Isabella, who established the Firth Daily through a series of means to mobilize other industrial departments, and later annexed several newspapers successively and merged them into the Shadow City Morning News, which competed with the daily newspaper and the evening newspaper. ”

"Oh? Is that the young lady? Sun Dao recalled slightly, and remembered that when the person in charge of the industry was introduced, the only woman, "At that time, Su Yan had already applied for a permit from the authorities, and the application of a black water knight, of course, would not have too many obstacles, but to start a newspaper, it was not enough to rely solely on background and identity." In this way, that Isabella is indeed capable. ”

Albert Jr. explained the recent developments: "After the death of Miss Isabella, radio has become more popular in recent years, and it has been sought after by the younger generation. After all, the original intention of the establishment of the newspaper industry was to uphold the idea of Lord Vivian to control public opinion, but after all, the radio station is a new thing, with more investment and less feedback, and the newspaper industry cannot bring much income, but it can enhance the influence of the Firth industry, which is considered to be a major pillar. ”

"Well, Vivien's thoughts. It is indeed the control of public opinion. Sun Dao nodded, he now understood why Vivien was obsessed with controlling public opinion, because it involved the attribution of psychic signals.

The next pillar to be introduced is the Firth mineral, which also dates back to 30 years ago, when its director, Samir, personally went to the meeting place. Surveying and exploration were carried out, starting with oil as the main direction. Several oil refineries have been established and several medium-sized oil fields have been occupied, and as their strength has increased, they have gradually become involved in other deposits, and most recently are fighting for ownership of a diamond mine in the southern part of the Dark Continent. ”

"Oh? I remember this man. "Hear the name "Samir". Sun Dao's mind popped up with a handsome man in a robe and a turban, who was tasked with finding black gold

Black gold is oil, black gold.

With the advent of mechanical time, the demand for oil is sure to continue to increase. Especially the advent of the steam internal combustion engine, the value of oil skyrocketed, as an outsider, Su Yan is very clear about the development of history, even if the development of science and technology has embarked on a different path, but some basic things will not change, so he sent people to the intersection in advance to prepare for oil.

This meeting place is the junction of the Stim Continent and the Golden Continent, which is equivalent to the boundary of the Middle East in the real world, and is also an oil-rich region.

After more than 30 years of development, it must have formed a scale at present, but Sun Dao still did not expect that the tentacles of the Firth family had begun to extend to other minerals, even diamond mines.

But then, Sun Dao asked, "However, from your tone, it seems that Samir is still in control of these?" "The first two are already ancient.

Little Albert showed a slightly bitter smile: "Yes, Mr. Samir has been in charge of the corresponding industry for more than 30 years, with great prestige, and he relied on the Firth family when he started, but now the mining industry is from top to bottom, most of them are his hands, although the shares are still the majority of the Firth family, but Samir's influence is already pervasive, and under the current situation, the person in charge of Firth Mining can only be him." ”

Although it was the first time they met, little Albert clearly saw himself as a loyal servant of the Firth family, so as soon as he spoke, he went straight to the point.

Sun Dao is not surprised, even if he is just a professional manager, running a business for more than 30 years is enough to change something, so he said: "This is local separation, but most of the income in this area is still received by Foss Industry, right?" ”

Little Albert replied: "Yes, this part of the revenue is growing very fast, and it is expected to become the most profitable industry in the future, and it also involves the political situation of many small countries in the Dark Continent, which is a very important part of the Faith industry, and it is a major pillar. ”

Sun Dao pondered for a moment, noncommittal, and just ordered, "Go on." ”

"The following is the aspect of ocean trade, which is the integration of the two parts of the trading fleet and the raiding ships, and is currently participating in the spice trade of the East Gold Company and the slave trade of the New World, both of which are profiteering industries, and are the largest source of income for the Firth industry, relying on the scale of the sea vessels, and also formed a guard of about 2,000 people, using the latest equipment, because of these reasons, Mr. Bourbon has been paying attention to the control of the ocean-going fleet to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of mining."

"Oh? Ocean trade and direct armed forces? Sun Dao's eyes lit up, "This consideration is very comprehensive, by the way, I remember that the one in charge of trade is a man named Lanzia, and there is a privateer captain named Edward, are these two still in power?" ”

Albert Jr. replied: "Mr. Lanzia, he has been promoted to the president of the Firth Bank, and as for Captain Edward, he was found dead in his secret room about five years ago, judging from the wounds, it seems to be related to the mysterious Assassin organization. ”

"Oh? The president of the bank, or was he finally gotten by this Lanzia? It's the same as Vivian's statement, she was more optimistic about this back then, as for Captain Edward's matter, it's really a pity, listen to what you mean, the murderer was not found? ”

"Well, it hasn't worked." Little Albert had a regretful expression.

Sun Dao said: "Is there a file record in this regard?" If so, show it to me, and besides, that's all there is to the industry? If you count the banks, it can already be said to be a consortium. ”

Albert Jr. was puzzled, but he still responded, and then he continued: "These are the main pillars, as for the most important banking industry, it needs to be detailed, in addition, there are several conventions, these clubs, developed from the casino, there is no income at present, but it is of great significance." (To be continued.) )
