Price of Management

After ten days of playing without circles, the other three people finally came to visit each other.

Earl Angus.

Earl Rhodeok.

Earl Duchen.

This is how I met all the six people after I was born.

Earl Ranzhel threw a party for three people who visited like a mother.

Like a wealthy family, I threw a grand party in the blink of an eye. Earl Ranzhel's servants were the masters of party preparations. When he was preparing the party, he pretended to move around with a face that said, "One or two of these things."

As the party was held, the nobles near the Baden River flocked like clouds.

They also attended after-school parties as if they were going to one or two. I can't believe you're bringing so many guests on such short notice. It was to show me where the power of post-emergence originated. Money, man.

“Earl ligand. ”

Banquet hall.

As I was looking at the faces of the guests, someone approached me and spoke to me.

I look down slightly.

“Earl Angus. ”

He was Earl Angus, one of the members of the continent.

A middle-aged man of moderate stature, he was known for his tenacious and passive nature.

And in response to Jason's persuasion, he was surprisingly on the side of King Leaden. He trusted the deceased Earl Wolfgang Ranzhel and decided to follow his son Jason's lead.

“I'm very excited about the shipyard. This is your shipyard. It'll be a big hit in every business you touch. ”

“You're welcome. It's a challenge for me, too, but I appreciate your interest. ”

Earl Angus laughed at my words.

“I am a man, and unlike you, there is no one special. ”

So did I.

“But I became the master of the Angus family, despite all the brothers. Why do you think? ”

“I don't know.”

“That sounds good. That's my only advantage. I became a housewife by listening to the pretenders who gave me good advice, and I listened to Wolfgang Lanzhel and led the Angus family without a hitch. The same goes for this shipyard. ”

I groaned my heart out.

Even Earl Angus, who seemed to be the most decent, should never be ignored.

Yeah, well, you can't run a family that big without abilities. Then, even Earl Lindell was a foolish one with cruelty and determination.

Earl Angus seemed to have an unusual sixth sense to determine whether the story was helpful to him or not. It was also a great talent.

“Anyway, do me a favor. ”

“I really am.”

After that, I spoke with Earl Rhodeok and Earl Duchen.

Earl Rhodeok was frightened and took over the Kingdom of Lerdon when he led the 3rd legion. And then there's Earl Duchen.

Of course, they were also not ordinary.

Earl Rhodeok had a dark insight into politics and military affairs. However, Sangjae was very bright and possessed the ability to recognize stories worth money like ghosts. Even though he was a barefoot merchant, he was a success.

Earl Duchen was very sociable. His personality was so cheerful that he exchanged jokes after 10 minutes of talking. It was obvious that one of those socialites captured the pretenders. Apparently, he has a large barrel and is not hesitant to award a large prize to his underlings, so he is good at managing his network.

And lastly, my uncle, whose pride and temperament never bend, is overwhelming.

“The party lasts for three days, but our party ends today. Let the other guests enjoy the entertainment, and we'll talk business tomorrow. ”

The trouble with negotiating with these four is getting worse.

“Of course, my uncle. ”

“I told you not to. ”

“Yes.”

Uheehee. Funny.

I don't think I'm normal.

Day two of the party.

At the banquet hall on the first floor, I heard the sound of exciting music, but I had to face the four old-timers on the fourth floor.

“The original family that ran the shipyard was the Lindells and the Randhels. In particular, the shipyard owned by the Lindell family is famous for building the largest merchant ship on the continent. Of course, the Ranzhels have done well. ”

Earl Rhodeok speaks.

“But the Lindell shipyard, unfortunately, was devastated by the earthquake and flood, and even rebelled. ”

Everyone here knows it was me. Yeah, I did it on purpose.

“When I heard about your joint venture to build a shipyard in this situation, I smelled a little money. ”

He was the brightest rodoc in the world.

“So, what about the investment ratio of 15 percent for your family? ”

I was expecting this, but this is how it looks.

Then I become 40%.

Of course, I had no intention of agreeing to this offer. Over 51% are required to secure control of the shipyard.

“With all due respect, the shipyard is a very important business on my territory. It's no exaggeration to say that the future of the Territorial People is at stake.

Y. You must take 51%. ”

Jason disagreed with me.

“Earl Ligand, I want you to think about what this means politically. We're not just trying to make money. We joined together to set up this shipyard as a platform for cooperation with the Crown. ”

Jason was very close.

“It is natural for us to think together about the direction the shipyard should go, since we have invested together. This also symbolizes our collective concern for this country politically. ”

“ ……. ”

“And yet, if you're going to take 51%, it's telling us to just follow it without taking control. It is also prohibited by the Baden River, but the attitude towards us unilaterally is offensive. ”

That's what it looks like.

I never thought I'd use my condolences on the king who banned the passage of the Baden River to Lindell and Antares in this way.

Their goal was to increase their influence on ligand territory.

No matter how good the shipyard is, it's not as good as the four of you wearing chi. They're post-exemption.

But I also expected this kind of situation. Do you think you've ever been a merchant?

“I heard what you said. So I have a solution. ”

“What's that? ”

Jason asked with a sinister expression.

“I have 30 percent, 10 percent in the Kingdom of Leaden, 15 percent in the Kunt family, and 45 percent in your investment. It's an investment that all of the core families in both factions are involved in. This is what true harmony looks like, right? ”

I said Jason's face was crumpled up badly.

Earl Rhodeok protests.

“If that's the case, our share is too small. ”

“I have one more condition. ”

“What's that? ”

“If you accept my proposal, I will concede to you up to 60% of the total ownership of lumber plants supplying the shipyard. and you get a lot more out of it. What do you think?”

“Mmmm... ”

The four of you looked at each other and were troubled.

I was able to give them 60% of my share of the Lumber Post. And why is that?

Let's think about it.

Can you chop down a tree in that area if you build a Lumber Camp?

You're welcome!

You need the Lord's permission!

Forest ( ) is actually property of the territory (so the salamander who set the fire is a villain). Do you think they'll let you decay?

After all, even if I take 60% of my shares, I am in charge.

Of course, the management rights of the Lumber Post itself can be taken away by your family, but if so, I can respond with the right to lumber as the lord.

It's because of one Lumberjack. You can't do that to yourself.

Eventually, more costly workshops came about, and they signed the contract as I proposed.

This is what the floor looks like.
