13 Mink Street

When entering the study,

Karen first glanced at Earl Recar who was holding Queen Wayne in his arms.

deliberately ignored the black cat,

Finally, he sat down behind the desk under the painting scroll of the ancestor Allen.

Patriarch Bede spread out the documents one by one in front of Karen, and then stood beside him like a secretary.

Old Anderson sat down opposite Karen, with his hands resting on his crutches, his eyes humble and soft.

Mike continued to sit in the wheelchair, his face made Karen feel a little uncomfortable, because the two red marks on the crutches were not symmetrical.

"Master Karen, breakfast will be delivered soon," Bede said.

Karen nodded, looking at the pile of documents in front of him, he said helplessly, "Is there any general summary?"

It depends on when to read this book.

"Yes, I've prepared it for you." Bader opened the blue folder in the middle and placed it in front of Karen.

"Okay, um, sit down too, Mr. Bede."

"No, I like to stand."

Karen glanced at Bader. In fact, his current position should belong to him, but you really can't see jealousy and anger from his eyes, but you can see a kind of... relief.

After the eldest brother and the second brother had accidents one after another, he should really be forced to take the position of patriarch. This is really a torment for an artist at heart.

Karen lowered his head and began to read the documents in front of him.

This is the asset statement of the Allen family. Bede should take care that he is not a professional, so he took care of his reading convenience when writing these.

inside York,

The Allen family owns twelve apartment complexes;

Karen deliberately looked back, yes, twelve buildings, not a room, but a building.

In the brackets at the end, there are also the names of twelve apartment buildings and the number of units plus the area. The smallest apartment has more than one hundred units.

You know, the arrangement that my uncle, aunt and aunt made for me before I left home was just to buy an apartment, and I had to take out a loan.

That's it,

It is only the top of the fixed assets of the Allen family. According to the normal model, the "lightest" should be placed on the top.

read on,

There is also a hotel chain brand under the name of the Allen family. There are four hotels in York City, as well as in other big cities in Wien, and even in Ruilan.

Aside from the Allen Manor, the Allen Family also owns three large estates in Vinn.

At the same time, there are many plantations and mines in the Wayne Colony.

Here's what it means...the home has mines.

There are not many investment lists, but the reason why it can be placed at the bottom is because the benefits and shares brought by these three investments are really large.

The first one is the shares of Wien National Bank;

The second is the shares of the "Vienne Foreign Assistance and Construction Company" led by the Venn royal family with a history of more than 200 years, which is actually a colonial company;

The third one is completely incomparable with the first two in terms of income, and it can't even bring any income to the Allen family;

Because it is the property ownership division of Wien Palace, down to which jewels on the queen's crown that have been passed down from generation to generation are owned by the Allen family.

Therefore, Mrs. Jenny and Mike's wife, Mrs. Lisa, took the younger family members to the palace to meet the Queen and the others for afternoon tea.

This is glory.

Karen turned his attention to the portrait of Earl Recar hanging on the wall of the study room. It should be the relationship between the Allen family and the Wien royal family established since then.

It can be seen that the industry and investment of the Allen family are very conservative.

But... How should I put it, if you also have these investment channels, you probably don't want to take any more risks, because there is really no need for this, and the Allen family is eating original stocks.

Karen didn't ask stupidly: How can such a rich family look down and out?

Because he witnessed Mr. Morff eating cigarettes and eating to death in front of his own eyes.

The Morfu consortium is influential in Luojia City and even in the entire Ruilan country, but his Patriarch is nothing in front of Diss.

Worldly wealth is very important;

But in another circle, worldly wealth seems very thin.

The most important thing is that the reason why the Allen family obtained these secular wealth is because their ancestors were not people in purely secular circles. The flagship of the pirates who galloped the sea was actually a huge sea monster!

Therefore, when your strength declines, even if the wealth is still retained, it doesn't have much meaning left.

Because for your enemies, they are not interested in your wealth, but in your blood.

In this case, even if you want to save money and avoid disaster, you have no room for it.

but,

After seeing such a large fortune,

Karen was still very comfortable.

He just moved into Allen Manor and enjoyed the quality of life of the top nobles for half a day, and he didn't want to face the deteriorating material life and finally pawn his family property.

If nothing else,

The day before the Allen family was really run-down, they should still be able to drink a glass of expensive red wine, and at the same time order the maid to throw the expensive new carpet of an unpleasant color into the boiler room and burn it clean.

Even if you enter the pigsty tomorrow, today you will still live the life of a master!

Yes, very elegant.

Karen even thought the picture was beautiful;

Fortunately, Pu'er is still sleeping in the bedroom. If it sees Karen's micro expression, it will probably explode with anger.

"This is the second copy." Bede opened another folder.

Karen took it, and when he looked down, he frowned unconsciously.

Because of the above things, he can't understand.

First of all, there are three workshops.

One is a fish scale accessories workshop;

One is the turtle shell pendant workshop;

One is the Black Coral Powder Workshop.

Yiwu Small Commodities?

Obviously it can't be;

Look at the last asset sheet, how tall it is, this one, it is impossible to pull the hips instantly.

Moreover, secular wealth corresponds to the "wealth" of another circle.

Karen asked, "These are church materials?"

"Yes, Master Cullen." Bede replied.

Karen looked at the income at the back of each workshop, it wasn't real or rupees, but "coupons".

The quarterly income of the Fish Scale Accessories Workshop is 8,000 Abyss Coupons;

The quarterly income of the turtle shell pendant workshop is 5,000 principle coupons;

The quarterly income of the black coral powder production workshop is 10,000 order coupons;

Karen wanted to ask a question that might make the Allen family members feel that they were idiots.

hesitated,

He actually asked:

"Is this coupon a currency issued by the church?"

Anderson immediately stood up,

Actively replied:

"Yes, master. Basically every orthodox church will issue coupons, which are equivalent to the currency circulating within the church.

People inside and outside the church can purchase items and purchase services in the church as long as they have the corresponding coupons. There is a special church black market for exchange between different church coupons, and currency exchange between different countries Same.

A long time ago, when the Sect of Light was still alive, an 'indulgence note' belonging to the Sect of Light was issued;

And there is a strong requirement that a fixed ratio can be exchanged for coupons of other churches, resulting in a flood of coupons after a period of time;

However, with the demise of the Light God Sect, the indulgences also disappeared. Although the coupons issued by the major orthodox churches are a bit more complicated, they are all controlled to a certain degree. "

Karen noticed that whether it was old Anderson, Bede or Mike, they did not look at themselves with a look of "you don't even understand this", but they looked more respectful.

This is also understandable. It’s like two people chatting face to face in the previous life. One person told the other that he doesn’t have a credit card, and the person who often lives on credit cards will probably not laugh at you for not even having a credit card. Instead, he will envy you. , because you do not lack money in your life.

Karen didn't know about the church coupons, which only showed that Diss protected the family too well. In addition... Diss would definitely not be short of coupons, and he might not even need such things as coupons.

If the worldly wealth of the Allen family has become a number, then the wealth of the Inmeles family under the leadership of Diss is equivalent to that of coupon wealth is just a number;

How many order coupons is a piece of godhead worth? Diss, there are three.

"So, is Corona Island a place for smuggling raw materials?" Karen asked.

Because there is no Corona Island in the first list of worldly wealth, nor in the second table.

"Yes, the raw materials needed for these three workshops all need to be smuggled in from Corona Island." Bede replied.

Therefore, the first piece of secular wealth is for the second piece of service. Use money, relationships, and family heritage to transform it into a workshop for church needs, and then earn church coupons and spend it.

It can be used to buy training supplies for the children of the family, and of course, it can also be used to buy the protection services of the church.

Moreover, the bigger the workshop business, the deeper the relationship with those churches. After all, no church wants to have an accident with its raw material supplier and cause a shortage of what it needs. When hostile forces want to move you, Have to weigh this too.

Bader said, "At its peak, the Allen family had twelve workshops, which provided basic materials for eight orthodox churches. Now, only these three are left, and six of them have been used in the past sixty years. It was eaten up step by step by the Rafael family."

Mike said; "The Rafael family used to be the managers of the two workshops of my Allen family."

"Oh, I see."

Karen nodded. It's not surprising why the Raphael family can force the Allen family into such a situation, because they didn't buy your hotel or suppress your shares. The Rafael family doesn't care about your worldly wealth at all. They launched the offensive from the root of the Allen family.

In the eyes of the Wayne Management Offices of the major churches, it might just be a fight between suppliers, and they naturally don't care too much about it. After all, no matter who gets the supply channels, they will still supply them in the end.

"Rafael family, how is it now?" Karen asked.

"There's internal strife." Old Anderson replied with a smile, "This family's background is not deep, unlike our Alan's family, where the loss of a patriarch actually has little impact."

Anyway, they are all idiots, and there is no difference between idiots and idiots;

In Pu'er's words, there is no room for decline, and there is a lot of room for growth.

Old Anderson was laughing at himself.

"Can you take this opportunity to snatch back this deal?" Karen asked.

He already regarded this thing as young and Dangerous boy robbing the pier.

alright,

Now that the boss of the gang on the opposite side is dead, and the main halls are fighting among themselves, why don't we take this opportunity to attack and regain the previously lost territory?

Bader looked distressed and said, "No, because the Allen family doesn't have the power to take the initiative to attack now."

"No active attack power?"

"Yes, this is the third form, which is the current family belief system of the Allen family." Bede handed the third form to Karen.

Karen took the watch,

I thought: This is the double bonus red stick of the Allen Gang.

At the first level of the family belief system, there are 18 people, followed by the names.

The family belief system is second-level, with eight people, and their names are listed at the back.

There are three levels of family belief system, there are three people, namely: Wood, Mike and... Anderson.

Karen raised his head and looked at old Anderson. This old man who fell from his chair earlier was actually the top expert of the Allen family?

For a moment, Karen didn't even know whether to use a tone of exclamation or sadness.

"Master Cullen laughed at me," said old Anderson.

"But I didn't see Mr. Bede's name on it." Karen asked.

Bede smiled awkwardly and said, "I...I can't sense the ancestor."

As the patriarch of the Allen family, you haven't even reached the first level of the family's belief system?

All right,

Karen now believes that Mr. Bader, Eunice's father, is really a pure artist.

Because he may have found that he could not sense the ancestor since he was a child, so he let go of all psychological burdens and simply clicked the "skill tree".

Karen looked at Mike again and asked:

"Mr. Mike, you..."

The old Anderson sighed, and said: "Mike had hoped to advance to the fourth level. In fact, he almost succeeded, but in his eagerness for quick success, he chose to try a new path, which made him become a It became like this."

Mike smiled wryly at Karen: "I'm level three now, but I'm basically useless. It's not because of the loss of my legs, but because my body is full of chaotic power and I can no longer use it."

Karen nodded, that is to say, the two most powerful people in the Allen family, one is Wood, guarding the raw material input line of the workshop on Corona Island, and the other is old Anderson, guarding the home.

"Where's the Rafael family..." Karen patted his forehead after asking this question, "Sorry, it's inappropriate to ask like this."

"This may be related to the family's fortune." The old Anderson said, "The rebel family began to get pregnant many years ago, and at the same time got in touch with some small churches, and then began to rise slowly, and thirty years ago, the family A group of very talented members were born and entered a golden age. And our Allen family, just...

In addition, although the Raphael family has fallen into division and internal strife, our rash attack may also cause them to unite again.

The current situation is that the Rafael family took the initiative to give up a lot of things to appease us and some other families to exercise restraint in their current chaos.

Before that, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Raphael family, we could only choose to passively defend, and then rely on some family relationships left in the past to continuously mediate, so that the Rafael family did not dare to go too far. "

Speaking of this, old Anderson shed tears,

"I have completely lost the face of my ancestors."

Karen stopped old Anderson's lyricism and asked:

"There is one thing I want to ask."

"Excuse me, Master Karen." Old Anderson immediately wiped away his tears and returned to normal.

"Blessed water, this thing, is it hard to get?"

"It's not difficult to get." Mike replied, "This can be bought with Rael, and many servants of the gods make money by selling this holy water."

"And what about the blessed water of a swimming pool?"

"Eh..." Mike froze.

Old Anderson replied: "It's not difficult to get it. You need to use water trucks to buy it everywhere. Of course, there are very few reserves of this kind of water god servant. They basically make a little and sell it, and they may adulterate it from time to time." .

However, if you use coupons, you can go to the big church to buy them. Generally, such things in big churches are stored in big pools for backup.

Do you need it? "

"Yes, I do." Karen nodded.

"Can you allow me to be presumptuous, Master Karen, may I know why you want so much holy water?"

"I need to complete the purification ceremony and become a servant of God." Karen added, "Grandpa told me that I need such a large amount of holy water."

"Okay, I see, Bede."

"Father."

"With the fastest speed, mobilize the family's all relations and the various church coupons in the family account to purchase the holy water that Master Karen needs."

"Yes, father."

"Then, thank you."

"You are too kind, Master Karen, you are now the real ruler of the Allen family, and you should have the right to use the wealth of the Allen family."

At this time, the maid brought in breakfast.

"Master, please have breakfast first, we will go down first."

"Okay, you can go back and rest."

After the three of Anderson and his son left the study, Karen was the only one left eating breakfast in the study.

At this time, the door of the study was pushed out a crack, and Pu'er got in.

It stood in front of its own picture scroll and looked at it carefully.

Karen joked while eating a sandwich:

"Do you regret that when the artist painted for you, he didn't leave a good picture of your true face?"

"I never regret what I do." Pu'er said, "By the way, those three idiots came to report the family situation to you just now, how do you feel?"

"The Allen family is very rich."

"That's not what I asked."

"On the other hand, this family feels really weak... Let me ask, what is the equivalent of the third level of your family's belief system?"

"Radio goblin."

"Alfred?"

"Yes."

Karen took a sip of water and said with emotion: "This is the most accurate time for Ah Fu to be the equivalent of his strength level."

"Have you asked them to help you prepare something for purification?"

"Um."

"That's good, they are very well-behaved. After all, they only need a bowl, and you need a pool. As long as they don't have herrings swimming in their minds, they won't be negligent, but they will be overjoyed."

"Understandable."

After Karen finished his breakfast, he saw that Pu'er was still admiring its own portrait, and then walked to the window of the study, opened the window, and there was a large green space outside.

Eunice has said that she likes to take her horse for walks around her home in the evening.

However, looking from Karen, you can still see a circled area between the lake and the green space, and there are strangely shaped stone tablets inside.

"What's that place?" Karen asked.

Pu'er finally finished his self-appreciation, came to Karen and jumped on his shoulder, took a look and replied:

"That's the tombstone."

"The shape is strange."

"Because the previous ancestors of the Allen family had very flamboyant personalities. Did you see the stele of the pirate ship? The one buried under it is Earl Recar, that is, the one in the picture scroll behind who hugged the Queen's hand and deliberately put it on the Queen's butt." .”

Karen looked back deliberately, and found that Pu'er's description was correct. Earl Recar's hand was indeed placed on the Queen's butt on purpose.

This means that when the painter painted them, he was deliberately posing in this way.

"How should I put it, although it feels rude or even vulgar, but I can feel what your ancestor wants to express."

That is the brutality and arrogance of pirates.

"Okay, I'm going to have breakfast, you can order another breakfast for me and deliver it to the bedroom, I want to enjoy the lady's breakfast in bed!"

"But, I just finished a breakfast." Karen reminded.

"It's okay, just like you need to use a lot of holy water to purify, the more you eat, the happier old Anderson will be."

Pu'er rushed out of the study.

Karen turned his head to look at the cemetery in the distance outside the window again,

Said with emotion:

"If the ancestors of the Allen family knew that the family has become like this, they might die of anger in the coffin again."

Karen turned around, ready to ring the bell on the desk to summon the maid to come and prepare a breakfast for Pu'er,

But halfway up,

stunned,

muttered:

"If you want to die of anger again, you have to... come back to life, right?"
