Chapter 555 Destroy Apophis
January 21st, 2:00 pm.
Qiao, who had a good deal with the bosses of three departments early in the morning, became more happy.
Because he met at the New Year's banquet in Hydra Palace, Viglar's youngest son, Donn, and a dozen friends with good noble young men, came to visit Apophis Palace.
Since Joe was ordered by Mata XIII to think about his mistakes behind closed doors because he splashed Prince George's beer, this is the first time that he has a serious guest and a friend of the same age has come to his house.
Joe was delighted to take out the best wine, the best cigar, the best coffee, the best tea, and the rich and sweet afternoon tea snacks baked by Mrs. Mary, and did her best to entertain guests.
In the Amber Hall of Apophis Palace, Donn and a group of friends were drinking aged wine and tasting the mellow cigars, and they were amazed at the luxury of Apophis Palace.
Especially Tang En, he had been walking around the huge Amber Hall for several times.
He yelled loudly with his top wine, "It's simply... I can only say that the kind Muteste is above, and the fate of man is indeed incomparable."
"Joe, do you know, Joe, and all the guys, I still reach out to ask for pocket money from the elders with a stern face every month... Every year at the end of the month, we have to carefully calculate every fountain Su..."
"Not bad guys like me who are thrown into a military university and can only squat in the dormitory and endure hard... Look at these guys, they can only live with those serious and old-fashioned family elders... Even if they want to rent an apartment outside, they can't make up the rent!"
"Oh my God, my God, let alone, you are still studying in a military university, and you are already a real marquis!"
Tang En's eyes were red with envy, and he shouted in distress: "And we...hey, hey, you guys, don't just drink, although I know that every drink is a lot of Jinmak, you are too embarrassed."
"Tell me, what are your hopes for your life? Can you become a true marquis?"
A group of noble children rolled their eyes at the same time.
They raised their wine glasses one after another, shouted "cheers", and then drank the glass of American wine in one go.
What a joke?
Do you really think the title of the empire is Dabaicai?
Unless they go to the battlefield to fight bloody battles...unless they can use their inferior troops to eliminate more than one field legion of a top power like the Lucia Empire in an extremely difficult situation. Only the credit they have accumulated can probably reach the threshold of the Marquis?
The problem is that they all carry the imprint of their respective families.
When commemorating and enthroning, the family imprint on them will become the biggest obstacle to their enthronement - most of their personal contributions will be included in their family, the large group.
It was enough for a "individual" to be awarded a marquis, and after counting it into their family... their families already have the title of marquis and dukes. Then the contributions they made can improve their military ranks and allow the heads of their families to take a small step in the framework of the empire's power...
But their own titles...
‘All personal glory belongs to the family’, it is difficult, difficult, difficult for them to become the true marquis!
Therefore, these noble young men were too lazy to answer Tang En's question.
Qiao shook his glass proudly, and the deep amber rum turned into a small whirlpool in the crystal cup, and a strong aroma of wine drifted out.
He laughed loudly, "Oh, Done, we are friends, we are friends... So, I can't help you with the title... But, as for the cute Jinmak, I can still help you a little."
"Are you interested? Open a grocery store in the imperial capital?" Qiao leaned against the wall and looked at the group of noble young men who suddenly became quiet: "You know, the most expensive business of the Weitu family is overseas trade... I can provide everyone with porcelain, tea, and silk from Donglu at a very affordable price."
"These three goods are specifically top-notch goods. Generally speaking, goods from Donglu can be transported to Tulun Port ten times the profit, and once they enter the hinterland of Medland, they can be profitable thirty to one hundred times."
Below Tang En, a group of noble young men held their breath at the same time, and their faces were red.
To be honest, the group of aristocratic young people who were able to play with Tang En all came from the oldest, most traditional and most conservative old Teutonic family. The tutoring of these families is extremely strict, and the biggest manifestation is the pocket money of these aristocratic young people!
Take Tang En as an example. At the age of nineteen, he only has ten goldmarks of pocket money per month.
Of course, Tang En studied at a military university, a fully closed-door military university, and there are very few places to spend money.
Even so, there are special stores in the military university that can be consumed. Ten gold marks, buying a few packs of good cigarettes, buying some chocolates, and buying other fragments, is not enough to spend.
Most of the other noble young people were students of the first university in the imperial capital.
They spend more money, but their pocket money is not much higher than that of Don En.
Unlike playboys like Ma Kai and Andrew who used various means to make money, these noble young men have strict tutoring. If they want to use their family influence to secretly get some extra money, they are also ordered to stop them.
Don't look at them all from great families, either from the Marquis or from the Dukes, and they are all direct children... But to be honest, they are all so poor that they are all very poor. To put it bluntly, the little leaders in some gray areas of Heidra Fort have lived a comfortable life than these noble young men.
Joe said, help them open a grocery store!
Great Muth, kind Muthust!
Grocery shops that specialize in porcelain, tea, silk... dry, this is the top luxury goods store.
Thinking about it, they can probably figure out the annual profit of such a shop. It doesn’t require much shipment. The annual net profit of such a shop can easily reach millions of gold marks!
And there were only thirteen noble young men present, including Tang En.
Millions of gold marks.
Thirteen people share equally!
"Oh, Joe...this, this...will this...this will, will..." Tang En swallowed hard.
"As a legitimate transaction, the source of all goods is well documented, and as long as you pay taxes according to law, no one can say that you are bad." Joe raised the wine glass in his hand: "And I believe, Lord Viglar, he will never object to your little cooperation with me."
Joe shrugged and blinked at Donn: "I have only recently learned that the largest partner of the Vitu family in Tulum Port, besides His Excellency Ross, Duke of Gassica, is your father Marquis Viglar. He and our family are old friends."
Qiao said calmly: "My father Hesen and has reached cooperation contracts with some large families in the imperial capital. Every month from now on, a large number of overseas goods will be shipped to Fort Heidra... Among these goods, I have a small part of the dominance. Finding a group of friends and letting everyone earn some legal income together is also the task Hesen gave me."
Qiao said it very thoroughly.
As a newly emerging family, the Vitu family needs friends.
Gorkin already has a group of hard-core comrades in the army.
Hessen has become collaborators with some large families.
Of course, Qiao himself can win over a group of friends.
Tang En tilted his head and thought seriously for a while. Then he filled himself with a glass of wine and raised his glass high: "I have no reason to refuse...ah, it's just a cheaper one group of bastards... To be honest, in the military university, ten gold marks are not enough to spend... one hundred gold marks can't spend!"
"Think about the next two or three years, I will suffer in the military university, and you can spend money outside. It's really... Let's cheer for Joe's generosity and the friendship between Joe and us!"
The noble young men stood up one after another and raised their wine glasses with smiles.
They joined forces and opened a ‘grocery shop’ with Joe’s help, and there was no doubt that they became their own people!
In the aristocratic circle, this behavior can be regarded as an "alliance" in a sense!
Of course, they believe that their closeness to Joe will definitely receive the support of the family.
If their family opposed their relationship with Joe, they would not come to visit Apophis Palace this afternoon!
In fact, since the moment they entered the main entrance of Apophis Palace, their "alliance" with Joe has been a natural thing!
Qiao raised his wine glass with a smile, clinked glasses with a group of noble young men, and then poured the glass of American wine in one mouthful.
"Then, you don't have to worry about other things... You just need to discuss the shareholding in the grocery store, and arrange a trustworthy person to hand over and check the accounts. Let them and Mr. Si Gengsi do the specific matters. I think we will see the actual profits in a month."
Qiao smiled brightly: "But I'm very curious, why did you come to me until today? Do you know, I've almost become bored for half a month."
Tang En and a group of noble young men looked at each other, then Tang En flattered his mouth and made a face.
"Ah, Joe, this responsibility is yours."
"This news is limited to a small range, but everyone who should know and who can know know it know..."
"And we, as witnesses, have been hurt by you!"
Tang En shrugged his shoulders and instinctively lowered his voice.
"Damn, the mutual aid brotherhood organized by Magnan, they took the lead and killed many of the direct descendants of the big family."
"These days, all the noble children who are of the age and identity, who are in line with the members of the Mutual Aid Brotherhood have been questioned for more than a dozen rounds by the great men of the Supervision Department and the Noble Court!"
"Do you know? When I was fifteen years old, all the things that I had fought with the youngest son of the Duke of Beihai were dug out on the streets." Tang En made a painful expression that was unbearable to look back: "I passed the test safely. It turns out that I have nothing to do with the Brotherhood of Mutual Aid, but the youngest son of the Duke of Beihai...he is now squatting in the black prison of the noble court!"
Qiao subconsciously opened her mouth wide.
Chapter completed!
