Chapter 281 Clear Accounts

When I said this, the warmth that had just risen was like a candle in the wind, and it was quietly extinguished.

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

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

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

None of these things can be achieved with empty words.

Of course, with blood as a bond, two people's trust in each other can be somewhat guaranteed.At least at the beginning, there will be no distrust of the other party.However, if the other party cheats on the first cooperation, then naturally there will be no so-called future.

"I asked you to come out this time, the most important thing is to get to know my uncle," Luke took a sip of beer, the expression on his face was completely restrained, and then he showed a shallow smile, polite and elegant, except that he couldn't see the intimacy, "But there is indeed a deal to discuss with you."

There was no false smile on William's face, but he was very calm.

"Tell me."

He never thought that the boy in front of him would be someone who was too obsessed with family affection.For a child who lacks family affection since he was a child, it is understandable for you to say that he yearns for family affection.But you said that he relied on family affection, which is indeed a bit wrong.

Especially people like Luke who put more energy into their careers.

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

Faced with Luke's question, William raised his brows, obviously not expecting such an opening: "I have indeed heard of it."

More than just hearing about it, in fact, William was very optimistic about the possibility of the chain brand "Poetry of Cats and Snakes" before.After the on-the-spot investigation, William couldn't wait to find an agent and asked if his own products could be added to the "Poem of Cats and Snakes".It's a pity that the negotiations between them were over before they even started.

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

This statement made William feel puzzled.I don't know why the other party would say such a thing.Although the sales of 'Poem of Cat and Snake' are really high.If you simply sell what you produce, the profit is also obvious.But this kind of thing that can be said to be an outsider coming in to give money, there is no need not to accept it.

Thanks to Charlie Rose, who has been wandering in the Muggle world all year round after letting go of his family responsibilities.William Ross also quickly figured out the profit model of "The Poem of the Cat and the Snake".In fact, this is a platform.Selling the things it produces is naturally making money.But selling other manufacturers' products is also making money.

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

Even among the families in France, the Ross family is ancient and mysterious.Ancient nature is because of their long inheritance.And the mystery is because other nobles don't know where the Ross family's land is.

….It is said that the Ross family has a large flower field, but they rarely see it.What they saw the most was the high-quality magic perfume produced by the Ross family.

Different perfumes not only have different fragrances, but also have different magical effects.

Many experts in the study of magical beasts will bring a few bottles of Ross family perfume when they are exploring in the wild.Expensive, but in some cases, it could be a second life for a researcher of magical creatures.

However, the Ross family members know that... their land has been replaced by land in other countries that are more suitable for planting flowers, and a large plantation has been established.

And because there are things like storage magic items and Floo powder, the transportation cost can be reduced to the extreme.All that is needed is a few magical suitcases modified in violation of regulations.

They were not obsessed with the land that other families could not give up long ago, they were obsessed with money, they were on par with the Muggles, and became a heterogeneous or... new nobleman among the nobles.

Luke basically knows the information about the Ross family.It's different from William who has affection for him, but still doesn't choose to be too close.Charlie Rose, as Luke's grandfather, was really close to telling Luke the password to the Rose family's vault.

Luke knew this pattern of family existence.

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

After all, 'The Poem of the Cat and the Snake' is booming right now!

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

Luke told William the fact frankly, and there was no surprise on William's face.In other words, when Luke mentioned this matter, he already had guesses.Although it was outrageous, he didn't act too surprised.

"It's unlikely that anyone else would want to join 'The Poem of the Cat and the Snake'. There have been many offers. But I've turned them all down."

Facing William's puzzled expression, Luke continued, "Because the most important function of 'The Poem of the Cat and the Snake' is not to make money. To be honest, uncle, I am not short of money at all."

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

To be honest, as the helm of an ancient family, he must know that there is a lot of money in the family, and as a family in the wizarding world, there is really no so-called family.It is thankful that a family has two branches.

In other words, a family can earn a lot of money, but not so many people can spend it at the same time.So a lot of money was collected.

Don't talk about extravagant expenses, no matter how extravagant, as long as it is spent instead of gambling or investing, then there will be no big losses.

And this sentence is not short of money at all, to be honest, he doesn't even have the confidence to say such a thing.After all, honestly, no one would dislike Jin Gallondo.

Of course, this is not easy to ask.After all, as an elder, asking how much money my juniors have in their hands is somewhat of a melon field.

…. "So, 'The Poem of the Cat and the Snake' is a place to give you information?"

William did not pay much attention to the matter of having money.In the final analysis, although there is a certain objective standard for whether there is a lack of money or not, after crossing that objective standard, it depends more on the individual's own thoughts.

Some people think that if they have enough money to eat, drink and live, they are no longer short of money.And some people don't feel bad at all when they can spend a lot of money, but they often talk about their lack of money.

However, when he said this, William couldn't help but take on a slightly emotional tone.Under the existing structure, although each family still has certain news channels, to be honest, maintaining news channels is a big investment in itself.Even in the eyes of the major families, it is a distressing amount of funds.

Now, the wizarding world has been peaceful for more than ten years.Most of the news channels of the major families have fallen into a frozen state.This can alleviate a lot of financial pressure, so as to further maintain or strengthen the 'decency' of their nobles.

However, the information channel set up by Luke, he can't say how the chief information ability is.But this ability to be self-sufficient is absolutely no problem, and it can even feed back to the superior.This is very rare.

However, anyone's energy is limited. If you focus on making money, your ability to collect information will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.William didn't know how Luke made the choice.

"Yes, it is my information transfer station. Although making money is not my original intention, it seems that it is indeed a benefit that is enough to attract other people."

Luke took another sip of his beer, hiding the smile on his face.Obviously, he is quite satisfied with Gemma's ability to handle affairs.Judging from the current situation, the ability to collect information has improved, and the aspect of making money is even brighter.

The key is……

"I didn't involve other people before because my people hadn't twisted the whole company. Now, my people have basically taken full control of 'The Poem of Cats and Snakes'."

There is a lot of information in this sentence. Obviously, Luke's life was not satisfactory at the beginning. In the organization he established, he still cannot fully control it.Of course, there must be reasons why Luke couldn't manage it himself.At the same time, it also shows that the man under Luke is very capable, and now he has cleaned up those who did not accept him before.

"So, you want to use our product to join 'The Poem of Cats and Snakes' as a bargaining chip?"

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

"So, what's the price?"

William looked at Luke with slightly sly lake green eyes and asked.

Luke smiled lightly, and said: "It's nothing, it's a good buy. I don't care about these interests, although they are also beneficial to my interests."

... "Secondly... I need a collaborator who is on my side and has no other thoughts."

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 fine, everyone is bound by interests, as long as the interests are sufficient, they will not turn their faces easily.

But the Kane family is different. This family who participated inexplicably brought great opportunities to Luke, but at the same time, it also made Luke a little confused for a while.Can't figure out the other party's purpose.

Really just like what Ryan Kane said, just to keep others from disturbing his experiment?Luke can only believe [-]% of this.

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

William looked at Luke in front of him with a half-smile.Facing William's question, Luke smiled and said: "Isn't it because I didn't have the confidence to cooperate with you before. We have to wait until everyone's status is basically equal, so that it can be called cooperation instead of assistance. "

Every gift given will seek the same or even more returns. Luke doesn't like to seek investment from others when he has enough ability.

He asked himself as much as possible, and he had to be solid and steady every step he took.

Cooperation with the Ross family must not be carried out when one is in a weak situation.Compared to mutual pits that go back and forth.A person who might actually help Luke at the expense of himself would make it even harder for him to accept.

Luke didn't know that William Ming didn't understand his own thoughts, but he just smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I can agree to this request. It's like what you said. I can also gain something from it." to what I want."

"But since you have already said that, then I have to say it clearly..."

William's face straightened and he looked serious: "I don't know what the goal you are pursuing. If I find out that you may fail and implicate the Ross family, I may choose to give up..."

"Under normal circumstances, I fully understand and will not force it."

Luke raised his glass and said frankly to William.

He knew from the beginning that there would be such a condition, and it was not surprising.

"Listen to me..." William didn't blame Luke for interrupting him, but continued to say seriously, "If things go wrong, I will drag you out as much as possible... Whether you are Want to give your life for what you do."

This is not to be said lightly.It also made Luke frowned.

He admits that this is the love and care given to him by his relatives and friends.But unfortunately, this kind of love is not what he wants.

Subconsciously wanted to refute, but thinking about the state where he had quarreled with those who cared about him in his previous life, and finally made everyone unhappy, he finally suppressed the contradictory words.

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

William nodded: "We'll wait and see."

"It doesn't look like you and I are discussing specific details."

"Gemma Farley, my butler, she will contact your people. She can take full responsibility for the specific situation."

William nodded. After what he said just now, he also understood that it is somewhat unrealistic for him to persuade Luke now.

After finishing speaking, the atmosphere between the two of them was exhilarating.Apparently, the business was over and it was time for some gossip.

"Tell me, your story over the years."

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