Count of Wizards

Connor stayed at the Ferguson Manor for three consecutive days and met people, and he had a deeper understanding of the situation of the Ferguson family.

Through these understandings, Connor also understood the problems of the Ferguson family!

Ferguson's family's problem, after all, is the first one - "money!"

The income of the Ferguson family is mainly composed of three pillar industries. The first pillar is the plantation economy. The land owned by the Ferguson family can be used. According to the family records, in Frosinone and its surrounding areas, the Ferguson family He owns a total of nearly 5,000 hectares of land, which are planted with some cash crops such as tobacco leaves and cotton, and will provide the family with an income of nearly 10,000 gold pounds per year in name.

The second pillar is the rent of shops owned in Frosinone and other areas. According to family loading, the Ferguson family has a total of 87 shops, large and small. These shops are nominally throwing out some necessary house maintenance In addition to expenses, it will provide the family with an income of 5,000 to 8,000 pounds per year.

The third pillar industry is that the Ferguson family obtained the mineral distribution business in the Frosinone area from the East Hoy Company through family connections. This part of the business is the cash cow of the Ferguson family and provides a lot of turnover for the Ferguson family. , but most of the money earned was still taken away by the East Hoy Company. The profits that the Ferguson family can really get from these businesses every year are about 3,000 to 5,000 pounds.

Calculated according to normal conditions, the annual income of the Ferguson family is about 20,000 gold pounds. If these incomes are real, then the life of the Ferguson family will definitely be very comfortable. It is definitely not the half-dead bird like it is now. .

Since the generation of Connor's grandfather, the top members of the family have been pursuing enjoyment and a glamorous aristocratic life, so some of the family's original savings have been almost consumed, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves and are still immersed in life. In the midst of luxury, in order to maintain such a luxurious life, nearly 30% of the land income of the Ferguson family and about 40% of the rental income of shops were mortgaged to the bank, which means that although These nominal assets still belong to the Ferguson family, but the income generated by these assets all belong to the bank.

Not only that, but also because from the generation of Grandpa Connor, the power of the patriarch in the family has begun to weaken, and the control has also begun to decline. This has allowed some family moths to see opportunities, so this has led to many family businesses being destroyed by moths. It has been privatized. According to Connor's incomplete statistics these days, at least 15% of the family's land and 20% of the shops have been illegally occupied and privatized.

Mortgage to the bank, coupled with the two problems of illegal occupation by the tribe, led to the fact that the two family businesses that were supposed to provide the Ferguson family with 15,000 pounds actually only provided about 5,000 pounds of interest to the Ferguson family.

As for the third largest family business, Ferguson Mineral Distribution Company, although Arveiroa, as the general manager, has done his best to help the company make a profit, but because the company has been stuffed with all kinds of aunts and aunts in the family. As a result, the company's management costs have remained high, which has directly led to the product prices of Ferguson Mineral Distribution Company, which is very uncompetitive in the market.

In addition, coupled with the intensification of external competition, the market share of Ferguson Mineral Distribution Company has been decreasing year after year.

Adding all aspects together, the annual income of the Ferguson family is about 10,000 pounds, but the expenses of the Ferguson family are all above 10,000 gold pounds. This has caused the family's financial deficit to increase year after year. The land and shops are mortgaged to the bank, presenting a depressing vicious circle!

Although he has a clearer understanding of the problems of the Ferguson family, Connor still needs to think about how to solve these problems in some details. Although he now has about 40,000 gold pounds in his hand, it is equivalent to the current Ferguson family. Annual financial income, if this money is handed over to the Ferguson family, the financial situation of the Ferguson family will be greatly improved, but Connor is very clear that doing so will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

As long as these stubborn illnesses of the Ferguson family are not dealt with for a day, let alone 40,000 gold pounds given by Connor, even 400,000 gold pounds will not be able to complete the revival of the Ferguson family.

Connor, who was in the Ferguson Manor one day, looked at the detective report on the situation of the Ferguson family handed over to him by the private detective. Burning with anger, he really didn't expect that these moths would be so bold and greedy...

If it wasn't for the fear of the church and other white wizards in his heart, Connor would have started killing and causing an accidental death, so that these moths could get their due retribution

Just when Connor's heart was full of resentment, a pair of warm and soft hands appeared on Connor's temples, and began to massage Connor gently.

Connor didn't refuse the sudden massage, he closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and enjoyed the comfort of the lovely person behind him.

"Connor, since we have appeared in front of people, we still have to abide by those rules!" Feeling that Connor's mentality gradually became calm under his comfort, Varga advised Connor at the right time:

The day after the armed rebellion in the Ferguson Manor was quelled, Connor took Varga from the Fati Hotel in downtown Flossinone to the Ferguson Manor, and together with him, they had a public affair in front of the Ferguson family members.

Because of Varga's matter, Steward Martinez even talked to Connor specifically. He told Connor that as the head of the family, Earl Ferguson, Connor wanted to make some sacrifices for the family! In addition, he also specifically mentioned to Connor the matter of old Ferguson and his mother Catherine Francis.

Although the old butler didn't say anything to Kang Naming, the implication of these words is undoubtedly very obvious. It is telling Connor that his marriage is not something that he can absolutely dominate. When necessary, Connor must act like Like his father, marrying a woman he doesn't love at all, but who can help the Ferguson family.

Connor couldn't help but laugh at Martinez's statement. As a formal wizard-level pharmacist, if Varga wanted to marry, he would drive many people into madness. Butler dislikes...
