Philip's roar shook the glass of the window, and people gathered outside Carey's door and window, watching what was happening in the office.

Carey wiped the saliva that had been sprayed on his face with his hand, still with a dead face, "Lord Earl, we are just doing things according to the rules, Galia's tax task has not been completed, please give me a time to pay the taxes you owe." ”

Philip felt a chill in his heart, pointed at Carey's nose, and wanted to tear him apart: "Human life is more important than cold rules in your eyes, right, not only do you not give disaster relief funds, but you also have to raise taxes, do you know how many families have died in this riot, do you know how many widows and orphans have been killed in Lu Dao, and you still want me to collect taxes from them, is your conscience for dogs!"

Philip's voice was heard throughout the Treasury building, especially the last sentence of collecting taxes from widows and orphans, which was clearly heard by all.

Kaili's face was a little unsightly, but thinking of the orders arranged above, he still said strongly: "My lord, rules are rules, and without rules, the Ministry of Finance will not be able to operate!"

Philip picked up the chair next to him and smashed it at Carey, who just looked like a scholar who didn't have much strength, but now he wanted to be a slippery veteran, and he suddenly dodged it, it seems that the deputy minister of finance has experienced such a thing.

"If you want the lives of the people of Galia, there are many, and if you have a seed, you will collect it!" After saying this, Philip turned around and left without looking back.

When he got into the carriage, Philip did not look angry at all. Quietly resting Grace's sleeping head on his lap, he closed his glasses and began to think.

Philip has already seen that the Ministry of Finance is deliberately making things difficult for himself, and it stands to reason that in a place that has suffered a catastrophe, the central government will generally reduce taxes or provide some subsidies.

It is absolutely impossible to pay back taxes, if the Republicans force it on this matter. Take money from those homeless Galian civilians. The Republican Party will immediately lose the support of the entire Bugas population.

But subsidies are also impossible, and although the Republican Party has been forced by the situation to call itself the governor of Galia, it will definitely not give up, and today's deliberate troublemaking is an example. Philip can be trusted. He could never get a copper plate from the Republican-run Treasury Department.

We have to find another way!

Philip knocked on the wall of the carriage. "Let's go ......"

——————

Just as Philip was leaving the Treasury in a car, Carey sorted out Philip's messy collar, pushed his glasses and walked out of the office, and went to a luxuriously decorated room next door to the building. A room with a larger footprint.

'My lord, just let him go?' Carey asked respectfully to the people in the room. The quarrel between Philip and Carey spread almost throughout the Treasury building, and it was impossible not to hear it right next door.

"It doesn't matter. In the spacious leather chair sat a middle-aged man with a neat back, he slowly put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and looked unconcerned, "Otherwise, what else? Forcing him to pay taxes? If that happens, the prestige of our Republican Party among the middle and lower class civilians will be completely ruined, not to mention that it will offend the Ross family to death, although they can't help Lord Anthony at once, but we little shrimp can always find a chance to clean up, don't forget, the fiancée of Count Philip, but the future emperor." ”

"But, Minister, Lord Anthony's side ......."

The Minister of Finance was still unhurried, and smiled at Kairi: "Kairi, we have successfully completed the task assigned to us by the adults, that is enough, the reconstruction of Galia, a total of more than 200,000 gold coins will be needed, and we have not given a penny, which is a very big blow to him, and the Prime Minister can see this." Without money, by this time next year, Galia will be unable to make ends meet, and the people's grievances will boil, and when the time comes, Philip will go from a hero everyone loves to a bear that everyone spurns there, and with a little agitation, we Republicans can regain control there, and when we remember the merits, Master Anthony will think of us both first. ”

Speaking of this, the minister's eyes seemed to light up a little, "Perhaps, at that time, the prime minister will reward me with a deputy prime minister for the sake of my many years of service to him, and at that time, the position I am doing now may be yours." Haha......"

Carey laughed along with the Minister of Finance, as if he had seen Philip leave Galia in embarrassment and sit in the minister's leather chair.

The carriage with the blood rose badge slowly drove into the Watson family castle, the door opened, and Philip led Grace, who had woken up, out of the carriage, and the duchess's delicate face was still moistened by clouds and rain, full of love.

"Good day, Your Highness Adrian, you are still in good spirits. ”

"Haluha, Lord Philip, good day, your mouth is like honey, no wonder you can take the most delicate flower of our Watson family. ”

Greeting each other with a smile and flattery, this is used only by nobles who are very close, and Adrianco admires this "son-in-law" of the Watson family very much.

Provincial governor in his early twenties, in the history of Bugas, basically no one can be in such a high position as a prince at such a young age, this kind of position of controlling one side is very demanding, without the ability to match, it will only end in failure, the Ivy who was ousted by Philip is a good example.

As Philip rises to power, the Watson family will gain more in the future.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want to make a lot of money?"

Philip's words pulled Adrien back from his thoughts, he was just thinking about getting the benefits from Philip, and it came true so quickly?

No one will be disgusted with less money, especially the blood clans whose population has increased more and decreased less, and they need money even more, and there is no natural life limit. In order to ensure the quality of life of the blood clan, Adrien had to plan and reproduce the Watson family, and each blood clan must report the development of descendants, without the consent of the elders, no blood clan is allowed to develop new descendants, otherwise the Watson family will be expelled.

Seeing that Adrien was already tempted, Philip was not in a hurry, with a hint of mystery on his face: "Your Highness, this plan of mine to make a fortune is very secret, you can see ......"

Philip looked around pretendedly. Adrien immediately realized: "Go to my private meeting room!"

Walk into a room that is not very spacious, but is full of quaint furniture. The Prince of the Blood Clan immediately said to his entourage: "Watch the room, no one is allowed to come in without my orders!"

"His Highness Adrien should know that the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce has developed a magical energy network. You can light up magic lamps at a very cheap price. ”

"I've heard of it. Adrien replied with a smile.

Somehow. Philip thought Adrien had entered the reception room. He didn't seem to be as excited as he had been, but Philip was still going to go on as planned.

"The Magic Energy Network Chamber of Commerce under the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce will have an annual profit of up to 10,000 gold coins in Lobit this year!"

Philip opened his mouth to be a five-figure gold coin. At the beginning, I was still greatly surprised when I heard this number, two years ago, when I first arrived in Lobit, Philip collected only 3,000 gold coins in taxes a year, and now, the estimated annual profit of the Magic Energy Network Chamber of Commerce has reached 10,000 gold coins, which is simply a hen laying golden eggs!

"Lord Adrian, you are also an experienced old man, there are more than 30 provinces in the empire, and there are several extremely poor provinces, and the taxes collected a year are only more than 10,000 gold coins. Now the net income of our magic energy network is nearly 1,000 gold coins a month, deducting the expenses of various labor costs, the profit is nearly 900, and as long as others use magic, etc., they will basically use our magic energy network, you can imagine that we must be able to have so much pure profit every month. Philip particularly accentuated the words ten thousand and every month, and anyone would be tempted when they heard this number.

However, Philip was disappointed, and Adrien did not show the ecstasy he had imagined, but only nodded slightly, and did not say that he was interested, nor did he say that he was not interested.

Philip was a little clear, Adrien was very interested at the beginning of most of the pretend, in order to give himself a face as the object of the Watson family's support, and it might not be so simple to really impress him.

"With such a high return, it must require a lot of investment, right?"

High returns must have high investment, no matter which world is like this, there are no things that have no capital and no profits, those so-called transactions without capital - robbery is actually the highest investment, their own life!

"Yes, the investment is indeed high, the Magic Energy Network Chamber of Commerce intends to expand to the entire Galia Province, and the investment is still 80,000 gold coins!"

"Eighty thousand?" Adrian frowned, eighty thousand gold coins is not a small amount, even in the bureaucratic machinery of the province, eighty thousand is a large amount, just like Philip said, some poor provinces, the tax amount is only more than ten thousand gold coins a year.

Adrien didn't speak, and arranged 80,000 gold coins at a time, if this investment went down the drain, even if he was the patriarch of the Watson family, he would be torn apart by the angry clansmen.

"Your Highness, Lobit is expected to earn 10,000 gold coins a year, and our total investment is only 10,000, which is basically a 100% return, although other cities in Gallia will not have such a high rate of return, but even if we discount, the return of 50% will definitely not be less. ”

Adrien looked at Philip with a smirk, his eyes were quite playful, "Philip, as far as I know, those six lords who went to the center with you, your Magic Energy Network Chamber of Commerce has allocated forty-nine percent of the equity to them, how much equity do you want to allocate to me? Let them reduce their equity?" You can't be so politically unintelligent, this is a self-destructive rhythm, without these local snakes, your magic energy network will not be able to take root in the local area, let alone make money, or you don't want to take a controlling stake and transfer a part of your own equity to me? You won't be stupid enough to let someone else be a major shareholder and give up the local magic energy network company to someone else, right?"

"Of course not!" Philip's voice was firm, as if Adrian's questions were not at all sharp, as if he were talking about ordinary conversation.

"I'm going to sell my stake in the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce," Philip held out four fingers. Put it in front of Adrian, "Please ask Your Highness to contribute 40,000 gold coins and provide you with four percent of the equity." Your Highness, the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce has Lobit Academy, the Magic Crystal Chamber of Commerce, the Mechanical Sub-Chamber of Commerce that provides ancient machinery, and the mercenary group that provides mercenaries. There is a lot of money to be made. ”

If the Magic Energy Network Chamber of Commerce is a hen that lays golden eggs, then the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce is a chicken farm, and a hen will grow up at any time. Then one by one, they lay golden eggs.

I don't even want to. Adrien said, "Forty thousand is too little, I heard that His Excellency Philip said that there is a gap of eighty thousand, and the Watson family has all of them." ”

Although there is not enough cash. But go borrow a little. Even if it's to pay some interest. It's still very worthwhile.

Philip smiled and shook his head: "No, no, there is still a gap of 40,000 and we can find another way." Don't bother Your Highness Adrian. ”

"Eighty thousand, seven percent of the shares. ”

"Hehe, no, we can solve it. Philip still firmly refused, as if the gap of 40,000 gold coins was just a piece of cake in Philip's opinion.

"Seventy thousand, six percent, Philip, if you have money, you want everyone to make it together, the Watson family has too many people, and now they can't make ends meet!"

"This, Your Highness, you have made me very embarrassed!" Philip grimaced.

"In this way, 60,000 gold coins, 6% equity, I promise not to interfere with any of your decisions, and I will agree with 100% no matter what decision you make. ”

'Philip ......' Grace tugged at the corner of the man's clothes, staring at Philip with big watery eyes, looking pitiful, as if he was pleading for his own family.

Philip gritted his teeth hard, as if he had made up his mind, "Well, who called me the son-in-law of the Watson family." Sixty thousand gold coins, five percent of the equity, must sign the action person consistency contract, Your Highness, this is my bottom line. ”

"Okay! That's it!" Adrien held out his hand and shook it tightly with Philip, afraid that if he waited a little longer, Philip would regret it.

Although the Bright Continent as a whole is similar to the European Middle Ages, it is quite developed commercially, and there is a system of equity voting, a system of shareholders' meetings, and a contract for multiple shareholders to maintain the consistency of their actors.

Once a person has signed the Deed of Conformity, the Watson family must be in line with Philip at the shareholders' meeting of the Chamber of Electrical Magic, and what Philip approves, they must approve of, and what Philip opposes, they must oppose. Although Philip has an absolute controlling stake of sixty percent, with such an agreement, perhaps, at some point in the future, when Philip's other idea for the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce comes to fruition, he will not have to worry about it.

After signing the agreement, Philip and Adrien both smiled happily, as if they were both taking advantage of a big advantage, of course, who really took advantage of it, only they knew in their hearts.

The gold coins will be handed over to Lobit's financial staff by hand by way of bank checks, and the transaction will be officially completed after the verification is completed, but these are all formalities, and the real transaction has been completed when the investment intention agreement is signed.

Declined Adrian's invitation to stay for dinner, Philip pulled Grace and left in a carriage, the task of finding funds was only half completed, and another 50,000 gold coins were not found, Lobbit was spending a lot of money on various constructions, after Miranda left, Philip's subordinates no longer had decent business talents, Lobbit and the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce had less than 10,000 gold coins left in their accounts, and Philip didn't want to ruin his hard-earned reputation because he didn't have the money to help Afrika and Akureyri rebuild.

"I find you getting more and more insidious. Grace muttered, "The person who asked me to join forces with you to deceive my mother's family, obviously there is a gap of 100,000, but he said that there is only 80,000, and he looks like he can solve the remaining tens of thousands, and in the end, Adrien spent 60,000 and only 50,000 shares, I remember when I first met someone, he was like a big boy next door, but I didn't expect that he was actually a conspirator with a bad stomach." ”

Philip shrugged, "There is no way, the market involved in the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, we must win over a 10,000-year-old family like the Watson family, and in the future, if our Chamber of Commerce wants to cover the entire Bugas Empire, we must attract more power, and it is necessary to sell some equity." ”

Katrina was specialized in investment in her previous life, and when a truly successful entrepreneur is looking for investors, in addition to the real money invested, he also pays great attention to the investor's market connections, advanced technology and management ability.

In the past, many of the Internet giants of the Celestial Empire were able to enter the European and American markets with the help of international investment banks, which were controlled by various large consortia, and these international investment banks were members of these consortia, and if they accepted their investment, the consortia would use their influence in the political and business circles of Europe and the United States to knock on the door of the market for them.

In addition to alleviating the funding gap in Galia, Philip is now looking for investors for a very important purpose, in order to prepare for the expansion of the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce to all of Galia in the future. Coming out of the Treasury Department, Philip was thinking, perhaps, this time the Republican Party made things difficult for him, and gave him the opportunity to cooperate with the national power of Gali, just like the old saying of the Celestial Empire, "If Seon loses his horse, how can he know if he is blessed?"

Putting Grace in his arms, he took a deep breath in his faintly scented hair, "Honey, it's not just your mother's family that you have to deal with!" (To be continued......
