543. Intra-family rivalry
"If it weren't for the good management of our Fiat family's Magister Workshop, and the concerted efforts of our family's members in all departments of the fund, the fund would have been unable to operate a long time ago, and the entire Galloping Horse family would not have been able to maintain its current prosperity. And if you continue to transfer manpower from the executive committee and secretariat of the fund, and apply for a withdrawal of 100,000 gold coins, I am afraid that the Galloping Horse Fund will really stop! ”
Rand had been listening to Jenny Galloping Horse introduce the situation of their family, and never interjected, combined with the intermittent statements of Cardinal, Ben Kaul, and Sherman, they could roughly correspond to each other.
The Fiat family can become the leader of the Galloping Horse family, it must not only rely on blood or territorial advantages, when the War of the God Emperor 725 ended, their family's high-level and most of the mid-level were wiped out in the war, and their family just escaped the war against the orcs in the Galloping Horse Plain.
However, the ancestors of the Fiat family, with their keen business acumen, seized the two fist products of hydrotherapy scrolls and magic algae, and invested in the first batch of post-war industries with the gold coins that were hidden and looted on various islands, and founded more than a dozen magic workshops in one fell swoop.
Rand waited for Jenny to finish speaking, and then said slowly: "The funds I applied for from the Galloping Horse Fund are all for business. ”
Hearing Rand's words, Jenny nodded and said, "I don't mean anything disrespectful to you, but the Galloping Horse Fund can't spend 100,000 gold coins now." ”
Rand waved his hand, "It's okay, I don't lack that amount of money anymore, you can keep that fund for your own family, all the mages in Night Qicheng will be paid by Night Qicheng from next month."
According to the Temple of Fortune, within this month, Rand will install magic furnaces in several city-states in the Hindukr, and Red Dragon Rock will provide 15 million gold coins in cash. Now that there is a direct grant from the central bank, the rand does not need financing.
"What?" Jenny was a little caught off guard, she thought that Rand would bargain with her, but she agreed to let her father raise money after crying poverty, and took the opportunity to negotiate terms.
In fact, there are still some gold coins in the family that can be withdrawn, if Rand is particularly short of money, Fiat can invest in Rand's magic workshop, but the follow-up sharing and conditions will also follow, at least 1/5 of the entire establishment of Night Qicheng City is controlled by the Fiat family, and in terms of occupying the quota, their family's appetite is not much smaller than that of the Tower of Purity.
However, Rand's attitude was too chic, and Jenny was a little unsure, so she could only ask tentatively: "Your Excellency, you can't really mortgage the treasures in the palace of Padmira and borrow money from the Tower of Purity, right?" ”
"I can't take care of Honglongyan to borrow money?"
Rand replied with a smile, but seeing that Jenny's face did not improve, he had to say again: "Now that Night Qicheng also has some output, you can see the magic pattern amber and skin cream, so someone is willing to invest in my magic workshop, and the current funding gap has basically eased." ”
"I see, congratulations." Jenny said this, but in her heart she didn't believe it at all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lante's territory is a waste of waste, and now it is at war with the orcs, it is completely a gold-swallowing beast, how many gold coins do you have to give, and what kind of special products do you have to produce to dare to say that there is no shortage of money?
"In addition, I must remind you of what you just said," without waiting for Jenny to speak, Rand said with a serious expression: "According to the report of the Imperial Finance Department, the reason why your family's magic workshop can have an annual revenue of more than 700,000 gold coins is entirely because seventy percent of the orders are purchased by the Finance Department, and eighty percent of the magic materials are taken from the internal price of the Salt and Iron Division. ”
The relationship between the empire and the Fiat family's workshop, Rand is very familiar with it, the so-called workshop that their family encourages to maintain, isn't it the state-owned enterprises of the human empire, but the top name of these state-owned enterprises is the Galloping Horse Foundation. You have created so much profit from running a state-owned enterprise, what is there to say about a part of it being handed over to the state treasury?
"This ......" Jenny was speechless by Rand, she always listened to her father tell her how much benefit she had created for the empire and how many magical products she had supplied, but she hadn't thought about how much policy support her workshop had received.
"Master Jenny, I guess the purpose of your visit this time is to hope that the two of us can continue to cooperate in the future, I can discuss with the ancestor of Halkala a principle of accepting members of the Galloping Horse Family, what I can be sure of is that those families who have made sacrifices and contributions to the Galloping Horse Plains and Night Qi City will definitely be able to live in Night Qi City."
Rand didn't continue, but the other meaning of this was that the Fiat family didn't want to rely on their status to come over and make a fortune.
Jenny was silent for a long time, her eyes fixed on Rand, and from his smiling expression she did not read anything accommodating, and after a long time, she said, "Well, I see, thank you, Lord Earl." ”
Looking at the girl's appearance, Rand knew that he had met all expectations, so he said: "Master Jenny can stay here for two more days, if you are interested, you can also go to Night Qicheng to have a look, I will explain to Captain Yawenni that you don't need to be managed by her in Night Qicheng." ”
Rand smiled a few more words and left the room, leaving Jenny to drink the wine she had just poured.
"Now, the good days of the family are probably coming to an end," Jenny shook her head, recalling the whole process of meeting Rand just now.
From the time Rand met her to the time the two separated, although it was less than an hour, and there was a considerable amount of time in which they were still appreciating each other's gifts, Rand did not accuse the Fiat family of holding the fund throughout the whole process, did not say that their family colluded with the orc royal court, and was not even interested in how many gold coins their family could come up with. Either this situation means that Rand does not know anything about the rumors of the Fiat family, or it means that he already knows too much and is not interested in this information at all.
The truth obviously belongs to the latter, after all, Rand even told the orders and raw materials of the Fiat workshop, but Jenny doesn't know why this Rand can be so indifferent to the strength of the Fiat family, and why he doesn't care about his overtures.
The opponent's strength is unfathomable, but his own strength is known, Jenny is extremely dissatisfied with the current state, but there is nothing to be done.
