Chapter 259: People and Lords

Among the guests who came this time, in addition to Mrs. Cartman, there were several people with status in the town.

They all knew very well... who was the biggest landlord in Hogtown now. They thought that Helot came back at this time because they knew that Tomorrow Group was going to invest in Hogtown and wanted to have the biggest bite of the cake.

Therefore, when discussing investment with Tomorrow Group, the most important person in Hogtown was Mayor Hagen, and the second was the current patriarch of the Clauland family.

Country people are so "simple". Their status and cognition determine that they cannot see the changed political status of the Clauland family at this time, but can only see the immediate economic benefits.

After taking their seats, the host and the guests tried the dishes together, and everyone praised the taste of the dishes.

Those who really came to eat ate and drank to their heart's content.

Although those who came with a purpose were also amazed at the deliciousness of the food, they were more concerned about future income.

As a town councilor, Mrs. Cartman became the representative of these people. She asked Helot about his opinion on Tomorrow Group's investment in Hogtown this time.

Helot obviously had no opinion.

After a moment's thought, he said, "The land in Hog ​​Town is fertile, and the beef raised by high-quality aquatic plants is delicious. It's just that due to the difficulty in transportation, most of the meat can only be used to make sausages. Of course, our sausages in Hog ​​Town are also very famous. However, the cost and risk determine that most farmers dare not raise more livestock. Relying solely on selling grain, the income is very low.

If Tomorrow Group can use the railway to lay the cold chain transportation to Hog Town, then our meat here can be sold to Covenant City, and then sold to all parts of the world from there. Not only meat, but also milk, cheese, and wine can be processed in the factory and sold as standard commodities.

Everyone in the link can make money, and then buy modern commodities to improve the lives of every family."

This is the investment closed loop of Tomorrow Group, which allows farmers to make money through the factories and channels built by Tomorrow Group, and then the group sells the industrial products produced to the farmers who have money.

Tomorrow Group can make money in every link, and let everyone who makes money say that Tomorrow Group is a conscientious enterprise.

Hellot admires his mother's mind and stands to get the ticket.

What Helot said was the pie that Tomorrow Group had drawn for Hogtown. When Irina arrived tomorrow, they would discuss how to bake this pie and how to eat it.

Not many people were qualified to sit at the table.

Even fewer were qualified to cut the pie with a knife.

In the eyes of these people, Helot was the one holding a knife ready to cut the pie.

Everyone wanted Helot to cut a big piece for them.

Mrs. Cartman said: "The Clauland family has now taken back the family's territory. Many of the lands in our hands belong to the Clauland family. Of course, we have paid taxes, and then the town will collect them and transfer them to you.

When Ms. Irina arrives tomorrow, you will be the representative of us to strive for more investment from Tomorrow Group."

At this time, Helot understood.

The purpose of these people coming to Clauland Manor was not to taste the food, but to express their demands in the investment plan of Tomorrow Group.

Helot said: "Tomorrow Group should have an investment plan long ago. If we make too high demands, it will discourage the other party from investing."

Because it was his own business, Helot never thought of bargaining with his mother. Bring the contract and sign it directly. Can she still cheat her son?

But in the eyes of Mrs. Cartman and others, this is just trying to negotiate with Tomorrow Group in private and want to eat alone.

"Herod, you probably have no experience living in the countryside. Rebuilding farms and raising livestock require experienced farmers and managers who are familiar with farms. People like us have been doing these things since birth and know this land better than you do.

You need us to manage Tomorrow Group investment, and we can definitely make a lot of money for you."

Before Herod responded, Reinham said first: "Now I am no longer the mayor of Hogtown, and there are some things I can tell you.

The Claulund family has no doubt about the right to use the family territory, and Mr. Claulund can take back the land you "invaded" at any time. But he didn't do so, and only took it back symbolically by collecting taxes.

And you still want to use this land as a threat, trying to make Mr. Claulund share the benefits, which is too ungrateful."

Herod stopped talking.

Although what Reinham said was unpleasant, he was not wrong.

Mrs. Cartman's thick powder made it hard to see the changes in her face. She defended herself, "Of course we know how to be grateful. But we also want to make more money. Is that wrong?

This investment is not handed over to someone familiar with the land. Will you, Lord Reinham, come to farm and raise cattle?"

Reinham said, "You misunderstood me, Mrs. Cartman. I think Mr. Clauland must know that you are the most suitable candidates to run the farm for him, but you are not irreplaceable. If you want to get something, you have to pay something."

Mrs. Cartman asked, "What do we need to pay?"

Reinham asked back, "As a lord, what should we pay?"

Mrs. Cartman was stunned, and everyone who was paying attention to this conversation was stunned. The sudden cold atmosphere stunned the people who were actually eating. They didn't know what was going on.

What do the lords need to pay?

Of course, loyalty to the lord!

In theory, the lords are the private property of the lords, but the situation of the Clauland family is a bit special.

Mrs. Cartman said: "After the Clauland family was no longer aristocratic, the ancestors of the Clauland family granted our ancestors the status of freemen. Our family and the Clauland family have long ceased to be a master-servant relationship."

"Then why do you cultivate the land of the Clauland family, and why do you let Mr. Clauland share the benefits with you. Mrs. Cartman, you just said that the vision of rural peasant women is not long-term enough, so don't just focus on the little money in front of you.

If you don't take this opportunity to return to the Clauland family now, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to come back in the future."

Mrs. Cartman is a town councilor after all, and she can hear that Reinham has other intentions in his words.

Is the Clauland family going to prosper again?

It's really possible...

After all, Reinham is a man with an aristocratic background, and now he is more like Helot's staff.

Mrs. Cartman looked at Helot and asked: "Do you want to recall our families who were once loyal to Clauland?"

Helot understood what Reinham meant. If the Clauland family wants to revive, it needs to build a foundation.

He smiled and said, "Reinham is joking with you... I am a commoner like you. The rules of the nobility are not suitable for us, or even for this era.

But Reinham is right. You can't take the benefits from me without paying. I think we can set up a company, I will be the boss, and you will all be shareholders and employees of the company, so that our interests will be aligned."
