Chapter 169: Old and New

"Create a new consortium?" Old Patriarch Fulin was stunned and shook his head: "It's useless. We, the Ryan family alone, are qualified to apply for the establishment of a consortium, but no one is willing to join."

Du Di'an said: "No, there is no need for others to join for the time being! Only your nobles and wealthy businessmen can apply for the consortium, and if the common people and wealthy businessmen apply, the procedures are too cumbersome, and the nobles are different. Just show your identity certificate. After the consortium is established, you can apply to Guangming. The Holy See leased a separate outer channel to clean up its own area, and this is what I told you before, and I want to give you a thank you!"

The old patriarch Fulin smiled bitterly and said, "Although I don't know where you heard about these things, but renting a passage to the outside of the wall alone requires money that neither you nor I can imagine, even if it is the Mel family and the cloth. The Long family also needs a partnership, and attracting other nobles and wealthy businessmen to join the consortium to share the burden, it is simply impossible for our small Ryan family alone."

"I said that nothing that money can solve is not a problem." Du Dian smiled and said, "You apply for the consortium first, and I will naturally give you a sum of money in a few days."

"You?" Old Patriarch Fulin was stunned, looked at Du Dian suspiciously, and said, "Don't you want to rob?"

Du Dian smiled and said, "Money in this world is based on looting."

The old patriarch Fulin stared at him for a moment and sighed: "I just hope you don't make too much noise. Our Ryan family is just a small boat and can't stand your toss."

"Whether the boat will overturn depends on the operation of the boatman, not the size of the boat." Du Di'an smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "Have the Bron family been looking for you in the past few days?"

The old patriarch Fulin nodded slightly and said, "I just found it not long ago. It's all your credit that made me spit with stars all over my face."

"Then moisturise your skin."

"It's easy to say, as you wish, the Mellon consortium has decided to kick our Ryan family out of the consortium. The two are family friends and have a good relationship. The Mellon consortium will definitely agree. I believe that in a few days, we will be Kick it out." Old Patriarch Fulin sighed.

Du Di'an said: "This is just right."

The old patriarch Fulin said with a wry smile: "I just feel bad for money. When I get kicked out, they will definitely find a way to secretly manipulate and let our Ryan family get out of the house, and all the resources invested have depreciated."

Du Dian shrugged and said, "Not much anyway."

Old Patriarch Fulin twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth when he saw that he had nothing to do with him.

"Now you are tied to a boat with me, I hope we can cooperate happily." Du Dian looked at the sky, got up and said, "I should go back."

The old patriarch Fulin sighed, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What's the name of the consortium, the Ryan Consortium?"

Du Dian was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's call it the Xinshi Consortium."

"Xinshi Consortium..." Old Patriarch Fulin murmured.

...

...

Sent off by the old patriarch Fulin, Du Dian left the Lane Castle and returned to the town hotel.

When the middle-aged owner of the hotel saw Du Dian, his eyes were vigilant, and his face was a little worried and alert. Obviously, the trial of the Cavaliers in the morning to find Du Dian made him remember Du Dian's appearance.

"It's done." Du Di'an returned to the room and said to the three of Barton: "In the days to come, you can go to live in Lane Castle, just say they are my friends, and they will entertain you."

"To live in a noble castle?" The three of Barton were a little surprised.

Du Di'an smiled slightly and said: "I hope you can learn wisdom in life, look at it more often, your life will be very hard in the future, although the wind and rain in front of you have been covered up, but once it is exposed, we will be doomed. In the near future, we will face more problems, you are our right-hand man, I hope you can be strong!"

The three of Barton looked at each other in dismay, and the joy in their hearts subsided immediately. This time, Du Di'an's assassination of Hollet was not concealed from them.

They also know that Du Di'an made an amazing move. Although they expected that the future would be rough when they followed Du Di'an, they did not expect to fall into such a dangerous situation at the beginning.

In the past, although bitter, it was relatively comfortable, but now, it will be destroyed at any time.

"I see." Barton nodded lightly.

Joseph and Kruen bowed their heads in silence, only to feel the piercing cold wind around them.

Du Di'an saw that the three were aware of the sense of crisis, and he was more satisfied. In a dangerous environment, he could train a wolf, but in a comfortable environment, he could only teach a dog.

...

...

After entrusting the three of Barton to the Ryan family, Du Dian returned to the residential area alone. In the past few days, he entrusted the Ryan family to inquire. After he was imprisoned, the Jules and his wife were expelled from the house assigned to them by the consortium and repatriated. into the residential area.

Fortunately, the time was too rushed, and the houses in the residential area had not been sold, otherwise, after being repatriated, they would be homeless.

Thinking of this, Du Di was full of guilt, and returned to Lynn Street in a carriage. He hurriedly got off the car. From a distance, he saw that the original small house of Jules and his wife had been cleaned up again, with guardrails. There were no fallen leaves on the grass inside. It was still early, and the house smelled of Jula and Gray, but compared to Gray's, Jula's smell was stronger, and it should be me at home.

In addition to Jula's smell, Du Dian also smelled a strange smell, mixed with Jula's.

He couldn't help but startled for a moment. Seeing that there was no one to his left or right, he immediately turned in from the guardrail and came to a window next to the house. Through the gap in the window, he suddenly saw the scene in the room, which was still familiar before. For the decoration, Jula was sitting at a desk, wearing glasses, reviewing the materials. Next to her, a seven or eight-year-old boy wrapped his wrist around her arm, rubbing gently, but obediently not. Make noise.

Jula smiled and stopped every now and then to stroke the little boy's head.

Du Dian was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, stepped on the lawn and turned over the guardrail and left the street.

After walking silently for a long time, Du Dian stopped and raised his head. In front of him was the hidden alchemist stronghold that he had discovered.

Three years later, the alley is still as sloppy and dark as before, and the walls are still covered with fabric camouflage. However, Du Di'an smelled through his sense of smell that there was no smell left in the alchemy stronghold, and most of the strongholds had been transferred.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage passing by, the breeze blew the curtain of the carriage, and a faint fragrance wafted from it.

Du Dian was startled for a moment, turned around and looked at the shadow of the carriage. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at the starting point (), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read. )
