Why it never ends

Chapter 1118 Investment

Bo Heng immediately looked at Hesta, as if to verify whether she really valued this seemingly thin, hypocritical, and smooth-talking noble from District 12 as much as Kovicik described.

"Then you continue to wait here for a while," Hesta stood up and looked at Boheng, "Come on, I'll take you to the construction site. Eunice and the others are there now."

Kovicik let out a sigh of relief, revealing the calmness of a winner - Hesta had already made a promise that she would take Boheng on business and then come back here to talk to him.

Bo Heng didn't say anything, but just followed Hesta's footsteps in silence.

After walking out of the main house, Bo Heng naturally walked to Hesta's side.

"...I didn't know I'd run into guests like this here." He whispered.

"Then you have to get used to it. Arevalo is also here with me now. There are many dignitaries coming in and out here." Hesta turned around, "Don't you like it?"

"How do you like it?"

"I like it. I like it very much." Hesta said, "You don't have to follow anyone. You can do whatever you want. Relax, Boheng. Don't let these people influence you. You don't have to explain anything to them. You are different from them..."

"…How come you don't——"

"teacher!"

Jia Heduolei's voice was very surprised, but she did not put down the gypsum board in her hand, but quickened her pace and stacked the gypsum board on the workbench. After doing all this, she ran towards this side faster and faster, and finally stopped in front of Boheng.

"How did you come!"

"...Why are you doing this?" Hesta frowned, "I told you that you are not suitable for heavy work now-"

"This is not heavy, don't bother me." Jiahoduolei waved at Hesta impatiently.

"...Okay, you guys chat." Hesta said to Boheng, "Come see me again before you leave today, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Bo Heng responded. As it happened, he was unwilling to let this morning end like this. "Wait, Jane."

"how?"

Bo Heng walked forward and said, "You are really different from before... It's like you have become a different person."

Hesta was just thinking about how to respond when he heard Boheng continue speaking.

"But this change is great. You are no longer the little girl who needs to be taken care of. You can do so many things, maintain such a large farm, and even truly, no less... stand by my side."

Hesta frowned slightly, but finally just smiled.

"Come find me when you're done."

……

On the other side, Meisnan was pulled by Sophie to work, and only Stella and Kovichik were left in the living room. The two chatted very speculatively, so Stella threw in a topic and began to ask how old nobles in District 12 like Kovichik usually managed their assets, but Kovichik suddenly became very secretive. It was not that he was unwilling to share. In fact, Stella's question greatly satisfied him, because she was not only asking about the part he was most proud of - amazing wealth, but also emphasized his identity as an "old noble".

Kovicik just wishes Hestad was there when he answered the question.

"…What were you talking about?" came Hesta's voice. "I hope I didn't miss too much."

"Mr. Kovicik is sharing his financial management experience." Stella smiled, "Would you like to come and listen too?"

"It's too stuffy here," Hesta said with a smile, "Let's go to the stables."

Kovicik stood up immediately, and then turned back as if remembering something, inviting Stella to go with him - he suddenly realized that Stella was an extremely important helper in the conversation, and if he relied on himself alone, he would never be able to naturally lead the topic to this aspect. For this reason, he would even rather sacrifice the opportunity to be alone with Hesta today in exchange for the possibility of continuing to establish a credible image in front of her.

Stella reached out to Kovicik quite proudly and asked him to pull her up, as if she was his most trusted helper at this moment.

The three men came to the stable and each led a horse, but none of them rode. They just walked side by side on the road built along the farm.

As soon as Kovicik opened his mouth, Hesta and Stella's faces changed - at present, he holds Gleipnir company stocks with a market value of nearly 50 billion Robies, which is his main form of wealth. In addition, he also owns some wineries and castles in Districts 12 and 3... and his cash reserves are not particularly large.

"Oh my God!" Stella did not hide the surprise and envy in her words. She even jumped a few steps on the spot - some people in this world are so rich that it's outrageous. How can one not be surprised!

"But how much is not particularly much? I don't mean to ask how much money you have, I'm just curious about the magnitude."

Kovicik smiled. She liked Stella's reaction - it was this reaction that enabled him to repeatedly confirm his position.

"I receive an annual salary of 100,000 Robies from Gleipnir, which is a very low figure," Kovicik said. "If I need money, I can always sell some of my shares, but I usually don't do that because my family trust and charitable trust still have billions of Robies in investment income every year—"

"That way your capital gains tax will be much lower, right?" Stella asked.

"It will be lower than ordinary income tax." Kovicik was vague. "I rarely sell stocks, so even if the stock price goes up, I don't have to be taxed - I spent a lot of time learning these things, these things are not fun at all, but I have to take this part of the responsibility..."

"Of course," Stella said with a look of deep sorrow, "Who likes to deal with these annoying numbers... Literature and wine are the real meaning of life!"

"You are very insightful. However, even if it is not for tax avoidance, I will not let myself keep too much money in my own hands - after all, holding a large amount of cash itself is a risk."

Hesta thought.

After a moment, she turned her head: "...Have you ever considered investing in a farm, Kovichik?"

"I don't refuse any opportunity, but if the farm you are referring to is the one we are staying at now, I may have to think about it carefully. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust Baron Tryon."

"No, not here." Hesta said, "I went to the south twice some time ago. There are large areas of abandoned coffee plantations there. You know, because of the war, no one dares to farm there."

"You mean..."

"Of course, ordinary businessmen and farmers dare not touch the land over there, but why would Mercury Needle be afraid of this?" Hesta said softly, "And to be honest, seeing large tracts of land become barren... anyone's conscience would hurt."
