When he said this, the little bit of warmth that had just risen was quietly extinguished like a candle in the wind.

The connection between the two is maintained entirely by Keisha. But in reality, Luke had only heard of this uncle. And William only saw a photo of this nephew when he was a child.

If Keisha is still around, then the two of them will be very close relatives.

But now, the two of them can talk to each other about the past like this, which is already the limit of their closeness to each other. There is more tacit understanding and family affection left, which may take longer and more communication to develop.

None of these things can be achieved with empty white teeth.

Of course, if there is a blood tie, two people's trust in each other can still be somewhat guaranteed. At least in the beginning, there will be no distrust of the other party. However, if the first cooperation is cheated by the other party, then naturally there will be no so-called future.

"The main thing for me to come out of you this time is to get to know my uncle," Luke took a sip of beer, the expression on his face was all retracted, and then showed a shallow smile, polite and elegant, except for the closeness, "but there is indeed a deal to discuss with you."

William didn't have a false smile on his face, just very calm.

"Tell me about it."

He never thought that the young man in front of him would be someone who was too entangled in family affection. A child who has been absent from family affection since he was a child, you can understand that you say that he yearns for family affection. But you say that he relies on family affection, which is indeed a little wrong.

Especially people like Luke, who pour more of their energy into their careers.

"The poem of cats and snakes, have you heard of this shop?"

In the face of Luke's inquiry, William raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting such an opening: "I have indeed heard of it."

Not only have I heard of it, but in fact, William was very optimistic about the possibility of the chain brand "Poetry of Cats and Snakes". After the on-site investigation, William couldn't wait to find an agent to ask if he could add his products to the "Poetry of Cats and Snakes". It's a pity that the negotiations between them have ended before they even began.

The person in charge of the other side made it clear that they are not ready to accept any other partners at this time.

This statement made William feel puzzled. I don't know why the other person would say such a thing. Although the sales of "A Poem of Cats and Snakes" are really high. If you simply sell what you produce, the profit is obvious. But this kind of thing that can be said to be something that outsiders come in and send money, there is no need not to accept it.

Thanks to Charlie Rose, after letting go of his family's responsibilities, he spent all year wandering the Muggle world. William Ross also quickly figured out the profit model of "A Poem of Cats and Snakes". Actually, that's what a platform is. Selling what it produces itself naturally makes money. But selling products from other manufacturers is also making money.

Could it be that the boss of the other party doesn't know that he can make more money in this way?

The Ross family, even among the families in France, is ancient and mysterious. Ancient nature is due to their long heritage. And the mystery is because the other nobles don't know where the land of the Ross family is.

It is said that the Ross family had a large field of flowers, but they rarely saw it. What they see the most is the high-quality magic perfume produced by the Ross family.

Different perfumes not only have different scents, but even have different magical effects.

Many experts in Fantastic Beasts will bring a few bottles of Rose family perfume with them when they are in the field. It's expensive, but in some cases, it can be a second life for a Fantastic Beast researcher.

And the Ross family knows it...... Their land has been changed to land in other countries, where it is more suitable for growing flowers, and large plantations have been established.

And because of things like storage magic items and Floo powder, transportation costs can be compressed to the extreme. All that is needed is a few magic suitcases that have been illegally modified.

It is difficult for them to be attached to other families early on

The land they abandoned, they were obsessed with money, they were on par with Muggles, and they became outliers or ...... New aristocracy.

Luke, the information of the Ross family, basically knows it. Unlike William, who has affection for him, but still doesn't choose to be too close. Charlie Rose, as Luke's grandfather, really had to tell Luke the password to the Ross family's vault.

This pattern of family existence, Luke is clear.

That's why Luke came to the Ross family. This is a natural ally, and he can also make a good bargaining chip.

After all, "The Poem of Cats and Snakes" is thriving right now!

"I'm the real boss of A Poem of Cats and Snakes."

Luke calmly told William this fact, and William's face was not surprised. Or rather, when Luke brought it up, he already had a guess. Although it was outrageous, he didn't appear too surprised.

"It's unlikely that anyone else would want to join the 'Poetry of Cats and Snakes'. There are already a lot of people who have already handed olive branches here. But I refused."

Luke looked at William with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, and continued, "Because the most important function of the poem of cats and snakes is not to make money. Seriously, uncle, I'm not short of money at all."

Luke was really confident when he said this, and his confidence also made William a little suspicious of how much money his nephew had.

Seriously, as the helmsman of an ancient family, he must know that the family has a lot of money in itself, and as a family in the wizarding world, there is really no so-called family. It's a thankful thing that a family has two branches.

In other words, a family that can earn a lot of money does not have so many people who can spend it at the same time. So a lot of money has been put away.

Don't say anything extravagant spending, no matter how extravagant it is, as long as it is spending, not gambling and investing, then there will not be much loss.

And this sentence is not short of money at all, to be honest, he doesn't have the confidence to say such things. After all, no one will dislike Kingalondo.

Of course, this is not easy to ask. After all, as an elder, asking your juniors how much money they have in their hands is somewhat meaningful.

"So, 'The Poem of Cats and Snakes' is a place for you to be informed?"

William didn't pay much attention to whether he had money or not. In the final analysis, although there is a certain objective standard for whether there is a shortage of money, after crossing that objective standard, it is more about the individual's own thoughts.

Some people feel that they have enough money to eat and drink, and they are not short of money. And some people are not distressed at all when they can spend a lot of money, but they often still talk about their lack of money.

However, when he said this, William couldn't help but bring a little emotional tone. Under the existing pattern, although each family still has a certain amount of news channels, to be honest, raising news channels is a big investment in itself. Even in the eyes of major families, it is a distressing amount of money.

And now, the wizarding world has been almost peaceful for more than ten years. Most of the news channels of the major families are frozen. This can alleviate a lot of financial pressure, so as to further maintain or strengthen the "decency" of their nobility.

But this news channel set up by Luke, he can't say what the ability of the chief information is. But this self-sufficiency ability is absolutely fine, and it can even feed back to the superiors. It's a rarity.

However, anyone's energy is limited, and if you focus on making money, then your ability to gather information will inevitably be affected to a certain extent. William didn't know exactly what Luke was choosing.

"That's right, it's my information hub. But making money wasn't my intention, but it does seem like it's a good enough profit to make other people happy."

Luke took another sip of his beer, masking the smile on his face. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Gemma's ability to do things. As things stand, the ability to gather information has improved, and the future of making money is bright.

The most important thing is......

"I didn't get anyone else involved because my people hadn't put the whole company together yet. Now, my people are basically in complete control of the "Poetry of Cats and Serpents."

There is a lot of information in this sentence, and it is clear that Luke did not have a good life at the beginning, and he still cannot achieve complete control in the organization he established. Of course, there must be a reason why Luke can't manage it himself. At the same time, it also shows that the person under Luke is very capable, and now he has cleaned up the people who disobeyed him before.

"So, you want to use our product to add "A Poem of Cats and Snakes" as a bargaining chip?"

William coveted this part of the benefits at the beginning, of course, because this part of the interests was enough to move people's hearts. But now that it's a deal, Luke has made it clear that he's not short of money. Then he'll have to weigh what Luke wants.

"So, at what cost?"

William asked, looking at Luke with a slightly sly lake-green eye.

Luke smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's good to buy it." I don't care about these interests, even if they are good for my interests."

"Two...... I need a collaborator who is on my side and has nothing else on my mind."

When Luke said the second sentence, his tone and expression were very sincere. He's not kidding. Luke himself knows very well that the Lance family is okay, everyone is tied up with interests, as long as the interests are enough, they will not easily turn their faces.

And the Kane family is different, this inexplicable involvement of the family has brought Luke a huge opportunity at the same time, but also made Luke a little confused for a while. I don't know what the other party is trying to do.

Is it really the same as Rien Kane said, just so that others don't bother with his experiments? Luke could only believe this.

"Then why didn't you come to me before?"

William looked at Luke in front of him with a smirk. Luke smiled at William's question, "It's not that I didn't have the confidence to cooperate with you before. We have to wait until everyone's status is basically equal, so that we can call it cooperation, not help."

Every gift is given in return for the same or more, and Luke doesn't like to seek investment from others when he has enough ability.

He demanded himself as much as possible, and he had to be solid and firm every step of the way.

Cooperation with the Ross family must not be carried out in a situation where you are in a weak position. Compared to the mutual pit that has come and gone. A man who might really lose money himself but also help Luke would make it even more difficult for him to accept.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

Zhi wanted to refute, but thinking about the state of quarreling with those who cared about him in his previous life, and finally making everyone unhappy, he finally suppressed the confrontation on the side of his mouth.

After taking a deep breath, Luke looked into William's eyes and said seriously, "I won't lose."

William nodded, "We'll see."

"It doesn't look like you're going to discuss the details with me."

"Gemma Farley, my chief butler, she'll be in touch with your people. She can take full responsibility for the specific situation."

William nodded, after what he had just said, he also understood that it was somewhat unrealistic for him to try to persuade Luke now.

After saying that, the atmosphere between the two people was one of them. Obviously, the business is out of business, and it's time to gossip.

"Tell me your story over the years."

William looked at the young man in front of him and asked curiously.
