Our family is in decline

"If something goes wrong, it's better than having the business group sucked up and dismantled by them~"

Lance didn't care at all. He knew that the woman was talking about how she led people to ransack those people's homes and kidnapped their families.

When the woman heard this, she felt the same way. Now that the time has come, she can only use extraordinary means.

But soon she remembered another thing, frowned and asked: "Is father really still alive?"

"Walter asked me to take your family to Hamlet. You will know when you see him yourself."

"Then who are you? Why are you helping me?"

"Help?" Lance couldn't help but laugh. This business group now belonged to him, and he had always helped him.

However, Lance didn't know what to say. Instead, he left a vague sentence.

"You can ask Walter yourself about this when the time comes."

His mysterious attitude further deepened the woman's curiosity as to why her father didn't come back~

"You should be able to tell me the name, right?"

"You haven't said it yet, why should I say it?"

"Tiffany."

"Lance~"

Lance could feel her strong curiosity, but it was impossible for him to hand over the initiative of the topic to her and take it back immediately.

"The problem of the business group has not been solved yet. Please tell me about the problems that the business group is facing now."

Tiffany also fell silent when she heard this. She knew that the matter was not over yet, at least the most important issue had not been resolved, so she gave up her entanglement and started talking.

"Although this guy York is arrogant, what he said is correct. Although you brought back a batch of food, it is still short of the contract. Now the only person with surplus food in Owendo City is Gene. ”

"Wait a minute, who is that guy named Gene?"

"The strength of our business group in the area near Ovendo City has always been very good, and the Jean Business Group is our biggest opponent, mainly competing in the grain trade."

"If you two are about the same strength, then there must be something special about him still functioning normally. Just tell me."

"His sister is the wife of the city defense army's logistics director, so his caravan can be protected by the city defense army and is rarely robbed. Moreover, he has different channels from ours..."

According to the narration, Lance quickly understood what was going on. Although both of them were in the grain business, their tendencies were different.

Basically every city will have several suburban farms producing food and livestock to supply the city, and Owendo City is no exception.

What Gene mainly does is to collect grain from several farms near Owendo City and transport it to the city. The journey is very short, and with the protection of the city defense army, there is basically no loss.

Also because of this relationship, he mainly supplies food from the local city of Owendo, while the Watt Merchant Group is responsible for the farther and wider grain collection area, and then the food is transported here and then transported along the river to Totnes. sell.

There are also some caravans that travel on land through towns and villages along the way, which only accounts for a small part of the business group.

What Jean is eyeing is shipping and the channels of business groups in Totnes.

When Lance heard this, he realized that he had been tricked by the old guy Walter. He hid part of it when he told himself that the real bulk of the business group was shipping on the river.

Right!

Lance suddenly realized how much of a commodity like grain could be transported by a convoy in one trip? The cost of this long journey is more expensive than food, so we must use shipping.

I can only blame myself for being an ordinary person and not understanding these businesses at all.

Fortunately, I didn't put him back~

"Then why don't you transport it directly from Hamlet to Totnes?"

"Of course it's because of pirates. Piracy is rampant on this route. If something goes wrong, food will be fine, but a ship costs hundreds or thousands of gold coins. It's better to go through the river. Although you have to pay taxes, it's at least safer."

Tiffany thought Lance wanted to transport food directly by sea, so she immediately explained the best solution.

"Now I can only use the money to offset the missing goods. Priority is given to preserving..."

When Lance heard that this was not okay, it was his money. No one could take it out of his pocket for no reason? A sudden sentence came out before she could finish speaking.

"Can you get the time and route of Jean's caravan?"

Tiffany was stunned for two seconds, but soon realized what the person in front of her was going to do, and she shook her head wildly with a look of horror on her face.

"No, no, no~"

"He's causing trouble for you like this, and he bribed York to annex the business group. Are you still afraid of this?"

"No, it's because of the attack on the city defense troops that something will happen. It's too easy to track down such a large sum of money."

Lance realized that he had indeed taken things for granted, and it was not Hamlet who could let him do whatever he wanted here.

He rubbed the ring on his hand and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Forget it, I will figure out a way to solve the rest."

Tiffany couldn't say anything, so she prepared two plans.

Although she knew that it was basically impossible to fill the vacancy, she still had a vague hope for the man in front of her.

What if he really can do it~

"I'll take a look at Owendo City. Find someone to show me the way."

"How am I doing?"

"I've always been indifferent."

Tiffany was very interested in this mysterious man and eager to get to know him, but she didn't expect that this guy seemed to be really inspecting, and she was led directly to the vicinity of the Gene Business Group.

Lance observed that because these business groups need to occupy a large area, they are all located on the edge of the city, where land is cheap.

At the same time, because the river is in the southwest of the city and there are frequent commercial activities near the port, everyone chose this area and gradually developed into a cluster.

At the same time, rows of warehouses were built.

"That's their warehouse, right?"

"Yes, the three nearby ones are their warehouses."

“Do we have one of those warehouses that we haven’t used in a while?”

"Yes, a place dedicated to storing overstocked goods."

Although Tiffany was puzzled, she still took him over and explained that the prices of some goods would change greatly, such as fur, cotton and wool, which are much more expensive in winter. When they are taken back, they will be stored first, and then Wait until the right time to take action.

Walter only dares to play with some stable subsistence allowances, because other goods are too risky and test the level. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

Lance entered the warehouse and could see a batch of goods stacked inside, but there was not even half of the space.

After roughly observing the layout, Lance found that the warehouse was actually very simple, so he made a plan and knew where to find the missing food.
