Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 309: People Are Not

I was very pleased with the change in the growth of my sister Anna, Claude, and in my memory that little, cowardly Laurie had finally grown up. Without the feather shelter of her father and brother, facing the storm alone, and caring for her ill mother and young ignorant brother, she grew up to be a strong and independent woman. Not only did it make rapid progress in magic training, but it was amazing to enter the country. Even dealing with the difficult problems encountered was very considerate, making people unable to pick out the problems.

Even Claude himself could not deny that he could have done better than his sister in dealing with the provocation of Mrs. Maria's children and the forced purchase of the new building. Although there had been a minor mistake in purchasing the forest farm, it was just that the sister had not had enough experience and did not expect to need a national identity to purchase the public forest farm. In fact, my sister did have a lot of reason to think about it, and buying a woodland really helped her practice magic, at least more conveniently than in this big red brick house.

“By the way, Anna, did you qualify as a primary pharmacist?” Claude saw a row of drug tubes and a small set of drug manufacturing equipment on that big wooden table by the window.

The sister nodded: "I took the test, I went to Barromise County in November last year. A total of two hundred and forty-seven applicants took the examination, only ten of them. I am ranked eighth and the youngest...”

Well, Claude had to admit that his sister was a genius, much stronger in pharmacology than he was. What he doesn't know is that after her sister Anna took her elementary pharmacist qualification at the end of last year, the threshold was almost broken by someone who came to her door to kiss her. Even Bok Al's father, Mr. Rubiewell, had some moves. It was only when I saw those people rejected by their sister that I put that thought out of my mind.

“Didn't you want to open a pharmacy?” Claude asked.

Sister shook her head: “The pharmacy can't get away, she has to stay in the store every day. And now there are enough pharmacies in White Deer City, all four of which are open, so I don't want to get into this. Now I'm making drugs at home to sell to those four pharmacies at an affordable price, and they're all happy. Sometimes the sailing fleet and merchants will ask me to order a batch of medicine, which is enough for me to make a lot of money...”

Claude pointed to the small set of pharmaceutical equipment: "Don't tell me this is the kind of medicine you make. This is just for emergencies. The quality of the medicine you extract is not very good. If you extract the medicine with Alchemy Magic Array, the perfect quality of the medicine will expose you as a magician...”

Sister chuckled: “I'm not that stupid. I sell perfectly high quality drugs. In fact, I made ten perfect bottles of medicine, then added three tubes of distilled water, put it in the blender of the pharmaceutical equipment to rotate the blender evenly, and then divided it into thirteen excellent bottles of medicine. That's why the medicine I made was popular in White Deer City, and I restricted production. Everyone thought I was refining such a good quality drug with fine manipulation, patience and luck...”

Claude's thumbs out silently to show appreciation and praise for her sister, and she doesn't need Claude to worry about it anymore, considering it more thoughtfully than Claude. Claude only regretted how he could not have thought of it at the time, that there were perfectly available drugs that could not be sold, and that he needed to rely on hunting and gathering money to buy medicines for the alchemy experiment.

“Well, brother, I have some bad news, I don't know if I should say...” Sister Anna hesitated.

“Come on, what's the bad news?” Claude turned around.

“Well, the Normanly Real Estate Development Company went down, and your shares in the company ended up liquidating just over 400 gold kroner...”

“What?” Claude stunned: "The Normanly Real Estate Development Corporation went down? Didn't you just say you'd settle the balance of the Naval Base's work and get over $100,000 in revenue? Didn't Lutheran Butler buy land in the new city in the east to build a whole community for sale? How did he get the company shut down? ”

Claude then realized in her sister's account that it was very simple that the collapse of Normanly Real Estate Development was imperative, and it was impossible without it. Claude worked with Mrs. Maria to set up a real estate development company, which took advantage of being well-informed, knowing that the naval base had been set up in White Deer City, so he bought property in the slums.

Real estate mortgage loans were used to buy real estate re-mortgages, leverage small sums of money and spur the acquisition of real estate across the East End of the Poor. After connecting to the film, planning for the entire community began, starting with the construction of several model buildings, which entered the Ministry of the Navy Base Preparation Office. In doing so, the entire community was packaged and sold to the naval base, with huge amounts of pre-disbursed funds, and the biggest difficulty of tightening the funds of real estate companies was solved.

This is the right way to sell your goods to the right customers at the right time and in the right place, and really implement seamless docking, so you can earn huge amounts of wealth that no one can imagine all at once. And Lutheran Butler is ambitious to replicate this success, but forgets some of the most important key factors.

Claude initially convinced Mrs. Maria to use the 7,000-acre forests of the Normanly Forest Farm as collateral, borrowed 20,000 gold kroner from the National Bank, invested in the acquisition of properties in the eastern part of the poor, and then used the acquired properties as mortgage loans again, adding up to around 45,000 gold kroner, and had some leeway to build model buildings.

And the land that Lutheran Butler acquired in the Eastern New Town was taken from the real estate administration of the White Deer City Administrative Center, at a very refreshing price. There is also a need for stratification planning once the land is available, which costs more than the demolition of houses in the eastern districts of the poor. Claude also used demolitions to collect large quantities of reusable building materials, saving significant construction costs. But Lutheran Butler got nothing on the plot, everything had to be reinvested, and the cost was getting higher and higher.

So by the time Lutheran Butler leveled the land plan and built the road sewer pipeline or something, the company had spent almost all the money. So Lutheran Butler learns again from Claude, takes the plot of land as a bank mortgage and gets a loan to build a whole community. This was his second mistake, when Claude built the entire community to target the Navy Department, and Lutheran Butler had yet to figure out who the main customer of the new community he was going to build would be, and they couldn't afford the building suite for the new community.

If the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce hadn't come to White Deer City to monopolize the trade in goods between the two continents, perhaps the booming White Deer City would have created a desire for housing settlement among many small and medium-sized traders. So maybe there will be a lot of people buying houses in this new neighborhood built by Lutheran housekeepers, and even if they don't make a lot of money, at least Normanly Real Estate won't lose money.

But with the rise and rise of the Finnix Chamber of Commerce in White Deer City, countless small and medium-sized traders have been excluded from commercial trade between the two continents, and White Deer City has lost its appeal to them. So after the completion of the new community built by Lutheran housekeepers, no one was willing to buy that expensive home, so that the new community became an uninhabited area where the birds gathered...

“In the first half of last year, a scorching Lutheran butler and Chief Felidos reached an agreement to sell the new community to the White Deer City Administrative Center as a residential area for public servants who are new to White Deer City. After the sale price was only one third of the original price and all bank loans were paid off, construction arrears and office expenses, the company had less than 5,000 gold kroner remaining.

Lutheran Butler announced with dismay that the Normanly Real Estate Development Corporation would close all business and that he would return to Wang to continue to act as Mrs. Maria's butler. All shareholders have withdrawn a little money based on their shares, so you have also divided over 400 gold kroner, which is temporarily stored in my bank book... "Sister explains why Normanly Real Estate Development went down.

More than 100,000 huge profits have been played to just over 5,000 gold kroner, which is believed to be a huge blow to both Mrs. Maria and Ludhan Butler. Claude shook his head, and that's not how real estate plays in the kingdom of Orvillas. Without a specific moment and a specific object of sale, trying to replicate Claude's success, like Lutheran Butler, can only be delusional.

“Has Uncle Thomas disbanded the building engineering team?” Claude's concern is that Normanly Real Estate has collapsed, but it's a shame that the very efficient engineering team that Claude worked so hard to build has been disbanded.

“You have to call him Sir Thomas. Don't forget that Uncle Thomas is already a congressman.” The sister laughed, in fact she herself called Thomas an uncle: "At the end of the previous year, the kingdom was forced to recruit again, and most of the architectural team was drafted, leaving only two or three hundred people, all experienced technicians.

After the closure of the company, the shareholders who had withdrawn their shares reconstituted a building company and signed a labor agreement with the technicians. Using these technicians, three construction teams were formed and a number of expansion projects were contracted from the White Deer City Administrative Centre through the relationship of Uncle Thomas. Though not making a lot of money, it is enough to support the business development of building firms.

Uncle Thomas said that this was your company's business strategy before joining the army and that as long as he could sustain the construction team, it would be enough for him to maintain a strong influence in White Deer City, which would be very beneficial to him as an elected member of the National Assembly. By the way, our family also entered a ten-thousand shares in this builder's firm, casting 150 gold kroner in the name of his brother Browick. ”

Claude nodded, Uncle Thomas did well and still remembers what he said at the time. The closure of the company also allowed the continuation of the presence of the construction engineering team and the formation of a building company. If Lutheran Butler could run the company like this, there would be no way for the company to shut down, and the expansion of Bai Lu City would bring many opportunities for engineering contracts. Unfortunately, after a delicious meal, Lutheran butler couldn't even see the porridge and wanted to have another feast, so he broke out of White Deer City.

“By the way, what happened to Uncle Pegg outside the walls and guard doors?” Claude remembers Uncle Pegg when he first came back.

Sister shook her head and sighed: “Brother, you don't know how many labor camps there are in White Deer City, there are more than 30, I suspect all labor camps in the Kingdom are concentrated in White Deer City. Often convicts come out of the city to commit rape and evil, steal, robbery is repeated and security is getting worse. Two prisoners had snuck into the second floor next door the previous year, almost scaring Mrs. Venderson to death. So I had to pay for Uncle Thomas and they helped me build this wall to give some sense of security to the tenants next door. Anyway, the land here is our home..."

“As for Uncle Pegg...” the sister's face got serious: "Brother, do you remember that playmate of yours when you were a kid, Ericsson? ”

“Remember, he later turned his back on our house because of his father's disappearance, and I stopped seeing him after graduation. What's wrong? What's wrong with him?” Claude asked curiously.

“You better not talk to anyone about you knowing him later.” My sister doesn't seem to be joking: “The second year you left the army, Eriksson joined the army, except he joined the Navy. Then last April, he fomented the rebellion and took a second-class battleship from the Stormfleet, becoming a pirate. His wanted reward now amounts to 850 gold kroner, and his wanted portrait is still attached at the entrance of the naval base...”

“How is that possible?” Claude stared, and Alexander went to be a pirate. How old is he and his age? The Navy is not the Army, more about seniority and seniority on the ship. He has only been in the Army for a few years. At most, he washed the deck of the battleship on the ship. How can it be possible to incite a ship of soldiers to follow him in rebellion? This is a nightmare...

“It's true, most people in White Deer City know that. Moreover, he was bold enough that those who used the naval base did not realize that, after the rebellion, a large number of warships had returned to the base to dock on shore, then used the night to loot the warehouse of military materiel at the pier, took away two ocean carriers and went home to pick up his mother and the families of some of the soldiers who followed him in the rebellion.

Until he left with three ships, the Marine Battalion guarding the Gulf Passage thought he had a special mission and ordered his release. The next morning, the naval base discovered that the guards at the docks' military warehouses were tied together before it was known that the insurgency had broken out. This incident left six naval base officers in charge and became the biggest disgrace to the Storm Fleet... ”

“Uncle Pegg? ”

“Uncle Pegg refused to follow Eriksson to become a pirate. Since their private pier was sold, Uncle Pegg has been a servant in their little yard, and that night Erickson picked up his mother, and Uncle Pegg was unwilling to follow her and tied up in his room. Later, they were arrested by the patrol to investigate and prove innocent and homeless and live on the streets. As soon as we built the fence, I found him as a doorman. ”

Claude nodded: “You did the right thing. ”

“Also, one more thing," the sister said with a little fear: "Brother, I, last year, killed two people last year...”
