Chapter 119 Negotiation 3
When Flint heard this, his face turned ugly. He just wanted to take the opportunity to give less, but he didn't expect that he would end up losing the rice, and he would end up paying even more.
However, he still wanted to fight for it. You must know that what they are discussing now is the only remaining assets of the Flint family. According to the initial conditions, the Flint family can still keep two vaults. Although there is no gold galleons in them, , but there are still some things that can be sold, which can help them survive this difficult time.
The conditions for the second time are the best for the Flint family. The existence of a store can allow them to spend this time quickly. Although it will not return to the previous situation, they can still live better than usual. The wizard is better, but unfortunately, this preferential condition was cheated by him.
The third condition, the current one, did not leave a way for the Flint family to survive at all. They left an island. However, Flint knew very well that the island was actually used for vacation. Playing is very good, but it cannot make a profit for them, and the family's assets can only last for a short period of time. After that, if they have no other income, they may become the first pure-blood family to starve to death due to poverty. ,
You must know that even if a pure-blood family is poor, they will still have relatives and in-law families to lend a helping hand. This is the main reason why the magical world has existed for thousands of years. Thousands of years ago, wizards were persecuted by Muggles. Their lives were not only poor, but also Faced with death at any time, they never starved to death. The mutual aid behavior of wizards and the associations at that time were the predecessors of today's Council of Elders and the Pure-Blood Council.
When legendary wizards continued to appear, the Presbyterian Council was established and began to restrain the wizards and hide with the surrounding compatriots to avoid the persecution of the Magu.
At the same time, in the Scottish Highlands of England, four young men established what is now Hogwarts. The disadvantages of wizards were gradually reversed, let alone wizards who starved to death.
However, looking at it now, Flint really doubted whether his family would become the wizard who broke the millennium record and was starved to death.
But he is not willing to give in. In the past, his father was deprived of the family's inheritance rights just because he married a half-blood wizard. Now, after all, the elders in the family, including his brother, are dead, and he is the head of the Flint family. Although the current Flint family is not even an empty shell, he still has the idea of making the family rise again.
"I don't agree! Such conditions are forcing us to die!"
He yelled loudly at the minister and Feeney.
Feeney shrugged and said,
"So what? If it hadn't been for the intervention of the Presbyterian Council, do you think you would still be able to survive? I have never considered myself a good person. Since your grandson provoked me and tried to anger me, then I will comply with his wishes. At the same time, tell the wizarding world that I, Phineas Black, the current leader of Black, is as powerful as my elders. Before provoking me, please think about whether you can keep your family alive under my attack. !”
Flint's already ugly face became even more ugly now. It was just white at first, but now it's white and green.
"How could you? The Flint family is not the chicken you killed to scare the monkeys!"
Feeney looked at Flint, who had lost his mind, playfully.
"Isn't it? In my opinion, you are just a chicken that can be used to scare the monkeys. Moreover, don't forget that it was you who took the initiative to provoke me. I will not care whether there are other people behind this matter. I only look at the results of plans or provocations. If Marcus provokes me or even insults me, then I will start a family war. It just so happens that this is what I need. Now that I have won, I will naturally choose what is best for me. As for the spoils of war, what happens to your Flint family in the future, does that have anything to do with me? "
As he spoke, he glanced at the minister beside him and asked,
"So, Mr. Minister of the Junxue Family Management Office, do any of my requests and conditions violate the regulations?"
The minister shook his head and said,
"No, similar conditions have appeared in the history of the office, but that time, the defeated family was not as miserable as the Flint family today."
Feeney smiled, looked at Flint, and said word by word,
"Well, Flint, please listen clearly, I can, and I will tell you now that my conditions will not change. That's it. If you agree, then there will be a truce. If you don't agree, then we will continue to fight."
As soon as these words came out, the minister's face became a little ugly. He looked at Feeney and said,
"Mr. Black, your request is probably not going to come true. The order of the Presbyterian Council is..."
Feeney interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"The order of the Presbyterian Council was not given to me. Moreover, I think you know very well, Mr. Minister, that the Presbyterian Council actually doesn't care what the outcome will be this time. They don't even care what will happen to the Flint family in the end. They have only one purpose, and that is to tell the Rich family that they have taken action, but in the end they have nothing to do with them since they didn't reach an agreement."
Having said this, Feeney paused, looked at the minister and said,
"Finally, Mr. Minister, I need to remind you that I am the leader of the Black family, and the Black family is one of the consular families of the Presbyterian Church. Unless there is a particularly important matter, and it involves more than two consular families, the Presbyterian Council Only the elders will intervene, otherwise, the consul family will be your immediate superiors,"
Feeney's meaning is very obvious. First of all, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. The Presbyterian Council doesn't care that much about this matter. They just want to show their attitude to the Rich family.
Secondly, please remember that I am your boss. You must understand who is with whom, and whether it is worth offending Black for the sake of an ordinary family with no future.
Obviously, the minister also understands that this is completely not worth it. Black and Flint are fundamentally not on the same level. If it were not for a coincidence, the Black family would be in decline, and the Flint family would be in Hogwarts. Zhongji can only be the younger brother of the Black family, instead of provoking them.
After a moment of silence, the minister looked at Flint and said,
"Now the situation is obvious. Either you agree to Mr. Black's conditions, the war ends and the Flint family survives, or this negotiation ends, the war continues, and the Flint family eventually disappears into the long river of history. "
Hearing this, Flint looked at the minister and Feeney with eyes filled with resentment and hatred. With that look, Feeney couldn't help but frown, wondering if he had not taught the Flint family enough lessons.
