Blackstone Code

For several days, Leon met with many people, but the effect... was not very good.

These people always have all kinds of strange and tricky questions, such as asking him about fund supervision and who will be responsible for supervising so much money.

Another example is that he hopes to meet other shareholders. How dare Leon dare to promise such a thing casually?

Sometimes he began to wonder if there was something he hadn't done well. Why were people so hard to deceive nowadays?

Things turned around when the investor named Mark received 300,000 in cash. After the bank informed him that 300,000 in cash had arrived, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the only money he has cheated now!

The money of the big nobles is not so easy to deceive, especially the governor. Their money has not been sent to him yet, and everyone is not really a fool.

Such a large investment, but I can't come up with the money. Even if these people have begun to brainwash themselves, they are still missing the last step, which is also the most critical step!

Now that this step was completed by investor Mark, Lyon immediately used the money to start recruiting people.

Three hundred thousand federal soles can do a lot of things in Pengeo at this time!

A large number of workers began to measure and map, and some went to the city hall to discuss the demolition issue.

After all, Lyon wants to build a large-scale comprehensive commercial center, and considering its outward radiation capabilities, it is definitely not feasible to have only one washing machine factory.

This requires continued demolition in the area around the washing machine factory to create larger space.

According to the project document, there will be six commercial streets that "shoot" outward.

Demolition and land acquisition will definitely require the city hall to take the lead, and the city hall will certainly not provide paid services for these matters.

If the project can really be implemented, it can bring significant economic growth to the region. This is a political achievement!

For the current politicians in Pengeo, they can be corrupt and stupid, but the only thing they cannot do is allow the regional economy to continue to decline.

As long as the economic level can be improved, even if they do something not so good, they deserve to be forgiven!

So people saw some people knocking on the door of each house, asking if they were willing to demolish.

In fact, the city hall had private talks with Lyon. They could directly allocate a large piece of land to him slightly outside the city, free of charge, and without facing the problem of demolition.

But Lyon insisted on a downtown location, leaving City Hall a little confused.

However, the wealthy people of the Federation are willing to pay some compensation for this, which is actually a good thing for the current Penteo people.

The entire project suddenly seemed to be in full swing, and Leon's attitude seemed to have changed subtly. He revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that the funding gap was almost there.

They are not so active in soliciting investment from everywhere, which makes people who are hungry and wait-and-see anxious.

In particular, Mark often attends some business occasions with Leon at the same time. Not many people know Leon, but there are still some people who know Mark.

Mark's uncle is Senator Langdon. He is also doing well in Nagaril and is considered a well-known rich man.

The upper class is actually much simpler than people think in some aspects, such as the issue of those rich people in certain places.

When you grab an ordinary person on the street and ask them how many rich people there are in the city they live in and who they are, they will basically not be able to give any valuable answers.

Because they are not people at this level at all, they will feel that... this is a very complicated issue.

But for the rich, they can name some people casually, and even tell the industry they are engaged in and their approximate scale.

Because there are not many people at their level.

Not much means that if you want to understand, you can definitely understand.

Mark is not only a rich man but also has a profound political background. Anyone who doesn’t know him can’t help but understand him.

With Mark's investment and the "endorsement" behavior that he never admitted, Lyon soon received more funds.

The merchants of the Federation faithfully followed the "never take the first bite" rule. Even if Leon's attitude was very bad and his demands were even more excessive, they were still willing to sign.

After the federal investment enthusiasm increased, Lyon had more money in his pocket, but this money was not his goal.

His targets were the local governor and the great nobles.

On the last Saturday at the end of August, Lyon took the initiative to meet with His Excellency the Governor at the Governor's Palace.

This is Leon's first time coming to the Governor's Mansion. The last time he met the Governor was not here. In fact, he was not qualified to be invited here before.

But he had been doing well recently, and the Governor felt it was time to let him come over, so he got the opportunity.

He looked at the stair handrails made of ivory. When he put his hands on them, the warm feeling was much better than those made of wood or metal.

The corners of the parquet marble steps are covered with gold, which is non-slip and beautiful.

A super-large chandelier made of colorful high-purity crystal hangs from the ceiling like a waterfall, surrounding the spiral staircase. Walking next to it is like standing in the universe!

Everything here is so beautiful!

They are all too expensive!

One of those gems used for decoration on the walls can keep an ordinary family fed and clothed for most of their lives.

Any one of those exquisite works of art can bring unprecedented development to a family!

This is the great noble!

This is the background of a great noble!

Leon's heart became even hotter!

He came to the Governor's study and saw His Excellency the Governor sitting on a chair by the window, wearing glasses and reading a book in the sun.

The Governor-General looks to be in his sixties and a very serious man.

He looked up at Leon and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit anywhere and wait until I finish reading this page."

After sitting down, Leon looked at the decoration in the study. It was like a small palace.

The utensils the butler brought to him were all sterling silver with gold rims inlaid with gems of various colors. Even the handle of a spoon had a sapphire the size of a kidney bean to prevent it from falling off!

The carpet was also very comfortable to walk on. He couldn't tell what kind of carpet it was. In his mind, the handmade carpet with camel hair was probably the best in the world.

But it didn't feel like it when he stepped on it.

He looked around and marveled at everything. For the Governor, everything he marveled at was just an "ordinary and ordinary day" for him.

After about seven or eight minutes, His Excellency the Governor left a bookmark and closed the book.

"I heard that you have recruited a lot of federal investors recently?"

This is actually a questioning sentence. The Governor is somewhat dissatisfied with Lyon's recent behavior.

It’s not like he doesn’t have money, so why would he recruit some federal people?

In His Excellency the Governor's subconscious mind, he believed that the purpose of this "Mr. Edward" in front of him was to achieve balance and restriction.

Leon knew that this was not the time to show off his timidity, and he could not show off his timidity. He bowed slightly and said bravely, "Your Majesty the Governor, our funds are almost in place, but on your side..."

"I have to consider some other issues. You know, the final investment in this project will exceed 100 million. I not only have to guarantee my own wealth, but also ensure that other investors' money will not go wrong."

The Governor still had the same expression, as if he didn't care about Leon's offense, "Do you think... I can't come up with the money?"

He shook his head slightly, "Did you know that any piece of art in this room costs more than six figures?"

"Federal Sol!"

Leon didn't answer, just lowered his head slightly.

He responded with silence, his heart pounding.

The Governor thought seriously for a while, and he actually didn't have much money in his hands.

These works of art seem to be very valuable, but if you want to sell them, they are really not that easy to sell.

The federal people will lower the price, and lower it very low. Recently, the survivors have also made a fierce fuss. They demand that Pengeo officials return the plundered "national treasures" that belong to them.

The federal government is vaguely on the side of the bereaved, and the royal family is already very dissatisfied with the nobles' unwillingness to bear more "reparations" on the issue of war compensation, as well as the plummeting price of Omo.

In short, it’s not that they can’t make a lot of money, but it requires time and skills.

"I can give you three million first."

A trace of greed flashed in Leon's eyes, but he held back, "Your Majesty the Governor, we are making a demolition plan. Once the plan is completed and implemented, a shareholders' meeting will be held to determine the shares before implementation."

"I can't convince other shareholders to admit that you used three million in cash to get the most shares."

"Or is there any way you can convince them?"

The Governor is a little worried. Very few people can confront him like this. Even other nobles and royal families need to be strategic when communicating with him.

But after all, Lyon is not a member of the nobility or royal family, he is a federal citizen.

The shadow of the failure of the war has not yet dissipated over Pengeo, and the identity of the federal people has played an excellent role!

Sometimes people are just weird. If it were an ordinary person, he might give Leon a punch to wake him up.

But in front of Lyon was the Governor, and he had to consider many political factors. In the end, he raised the number in shame, "I will give you six million first, and the remaining money will be received after the project starts."

He would pay at most half of the money, and let other nobles pay the other half. This plan was acceptable.

Lyon knew that he could not continue to push him, and this number had reached his psychological price.

Including what he defrauded from federal businessmen, it already amounted to eight to nine million.

He may not be able to earn this kind of money in his lifetime, but now, he is not far away!

Leon said what he said, "We have an account that is supervised by everyone. You can just transfer money into this account."

"When the shareholders' meeting is held, you'd better arrange for someone to explain it to everyone."

"You know, I'm not worried about local investors. I'm worried about those federal investors making trouble..."

Leon tremblingly handed over the card with the account in his hand.
