Chapter 39 Business Crisis
When Andres arrived, Earl Silvio was already waiting in the Zhaixing Pavilion.

This time, there was no big commotion like seven days ago.When Earl Silvio received the report from his servants, he only instructed Anthony to send all the fighting qi training cheats in the family, including the top-level "Ben Lei fighting qi".

Except for Andres, no one else was alarmed.

"Patriarch, what's the matter, what the hell is that little guy Anthony doing?" Andres' impatient question arrived before the people arrived.

There is no personal grievance between the two patriarchs of the Hilton family. If we talk about the conflicts between them, it is more about the conflicts in the direction of family development and business philosophy.In addition, Andres has an upright personality, admits death, has a good face, and speaks and does things as he pleases.In many cases, it was actually Silvio, the current patriarch, who evaded and retreated, so that the situation did not escalate.

Now that Andres has officially withdrawn from the high-level family and no longer intervenes in family affairs, the relationship between the two has quickly recovered.Just like how Anthony felt about him, Earl Silvio also felt that the old man was like an old urchin with a rather cute personality.

"I don't know, I just sent him some fighting qi cultivation cheats, and I went back to retreat again." Earl Silvio replied a little absent-mindedly.

Andres looked at the closed door, and his two gray eyebrows were almost wrinkled together: "If you don't hurry up to practice while you are doing good magic, you want to practice grudge again? You must know how much you can't chew, everything will It's not as good as the same. The little guy's blood inheritance is a martial skill that is biased towards close combat. If it can be perfectly coordinated with magic, it is not impossible to double the combat power. At this time, it is really a young man's heart to cultivate some fighting spirit. A gimmick of 'both cultivation of magic and martial arts'?"

He waved his hand and said with regret: "If you can be promoted to a full-time magician, even if you are a beginner, you can master several practical auxiliary magic. How cool it would be to be able to use auxiliary magic!"

Andres couldn't help simulating in his mind how to use and fight with these auxiliary magics if he had them.What to do when you encounter a speed-type opponent, and what to do when you encounter a hard-skinned and thick-blooded enemy...

The old man was so upbeat, when he suddenly saw Earl Silvio, who looked distracted, turned his head and looked at him with a strange expression.The old man couldn't help but blushed, and said rather embarrassedly: "Hey, I was thinking too much. It is enough to be promoted to a formal magician. It is really too demanding to break through to a high-level magician in seven days."

The Earl still looked at him fixedly, as if a flower had grown on his head.It's just that the weird look on his face is a little more.

Andres felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He poked his neck and shouted: "What are you doing, can't you just flirt? You need to look at me like a monster!"

Count Silvio turned a deaf ear to his yelling and only pouted to the side.

Andres followed his gaze, only to find that beside the earl was a human-shaped target specially made by the Hilton family for practicing exercises, and it was a particularly thick and reinforced one.It's just that there is a hole in the head, which seems to have been pierced by some sharp weapon.

"Why?" Andres looked at the target, not knowing why.

Count Silvio said softly: "This is a withdrawal from Mr. Anthony's martial arts arena."

"Oh?" Andres became interested, and leaned forward to examine it carefully.

Slowly, doubts, disbelief and shock appeared on his face.

"This, this is, 'Flame Ray'?!"

The old man is well-informed, so of course he knows this fifth-level magic.

The Earl nodded, but did not speak.

He could understand Andres' mood at the moment, because he had experienced it himself not long ago.

Andres opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.I remembered what I said just now about low-level magicians, high-level magicians, and low-level magic assisting magic.Now it seems that I am like a fool who sits in a well and watches the sky.People have already skipped the magician and great magician, and stepped into the ranks of magisters, okay!

We ordinary people really don't understand the world of monsters!

The old man's face was tangled, thousands of words were finally turned into two words:

"I rely on!"

……

Inside the Hilton mansion, the patriarch Count Silvio and other important family members are having a meeting.There was a trace of solemnity on everyone's face, and a little angry light flashed in their eyes.

A capable middle-aged man on the earl's left hand is holding a thick document and making a report.

"...Based on the above, in the past half month, the profits of most of my family's businesses have dropped by [-]%. The main reason for this result is that the purchase price of goods has increased significantly, and some goods have even stopped. Supply. In the past, a large number of small merchants who purchased my family's goods tried their best to keep prices down.

"According to our private investigation, the merchants at both ends of procurement and supply have adjusted the supply and purchase prices of our various types and different goods unanimously this time, and there are traces of intervention by many nobles behind it. Among them, Su Marquis Crates."

Hearing the name of Marquis Socrates, everyone present was shocked.Some people looked at Elder Andres who sat in the corner and didn't say a word in the recent family meeting.

Marquis Socrates and the Hilton family are old rivals. Since the rise of Hilton, there have been many conflicts between the two families.And Andres, the patriarch at the time, fought fiercely with their masters a few times.

In terms of strength alone, the Hilton family is inferior to the Marquis family.Even the current Hilton is still a level behind the Marquis.

But the family is big and the business is big, it involves a lot of energy, and there are more aspects that need to be distracted and taken care of.In addition, under the leadership of Andres, a daring young man who dared to fight, the Hilton family was completely "barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes". Lord Marquis held his own identity and was unwilling to confront them head-on.In several confrontations, it was a dark loss.

Obviously, Lord Marquis came prepared this time and united with other nobles to oppress the Hilton family from the apparent business operation in order to avenge the past.

"Cough!" Earl Silvio coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Everyone discuss how to deal with this matter."

The people below exchanged their opinions in a low voice, and a steward in charge of the cloth business stood up: "Patriarch, since the rise of my Hilton family, the old nobles in Edinburgh have been secretly suppressing us everywhere. Now they are united and put everything out of the way." When it comes to the table, I am afraid that there will be a series of actions in the future. To be safe, I suggest that a large number of squeezed goods should be cleared as soon as possible, and enough funds will be withdrawn to cope with the upcoming crisis. Even if the price is lowered, a certain amount of principal will be sacrificed. "

Another manager stood up and said: "That's right, the other party's actions cannot be ended in a short time. We must find new sources of goods and sales outlets. Or contact the original suppliers and sellers in private and share more profits with them. After all, it’s all about business, so there’s no reason not to make a profit. And there are so many merchants, I don’t believe those nobles can manage them all.”

Everyone nodded and started discussing.

Compared with those established families, the emerging families are more vigorous.These go-getters of the Hilton family have followed the family through the journey from humble beginnings to prosperity.They are capable and knowledgeable, and as soon as the incident showed some clues, they already keenly sensed the danger, and started to investigate the behind-the-scenes culprits.When the crisis began to appear, the two managers immediately came up with extremely targeted countermeasures and pointed out the general direction to solve the problem.

The Earl also nodded slightly, agreeing to the suggestions of the two capable men.

Next, everyone began to refine the arrangement, coordination and resource allocation of each step according to the finalized direction.Everyone cooperated tacitly and complemented each other. In less than an hour, the detailed process of the entire plan was listed one by one.

After the plan was laid out and the division of labor was clearly defined, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It is unknown how many difficulties the Hilton family has gone through to reach this height.I have experienced a lot of wind and waves, and my mentality has also been honed to be tough.Everyone firmly believes that as long as everyone works together, the Hilton family will be able to survive this crisis safely.

Suddenly, a young steward raised his hand and said hesitantly: "Patriarch, this time the opponent is aggressive and powerful. Although we have made thorough preparations, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen. So, I would like to propose, is Shouldn't you think about opening a new business channel?"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone present gathered together.

However, their target was not the young steward, but Elder Andres, who kept his promise and only listened but didn't speak.

Sure enough, Andres' face changed color, his eyes flashed, and he gave the young steward a hard look.

He was about to speak when a servant hurried into the meeting room and whispered something in Earl Silvio's ear.

Earl Silvio was overjoyed when he heard the news, and said, "Mr. Anthony is out of customs, please come here to discuss important family matters."

Andres didn't care about getting angry with the young steward, and stood up and walked out, shouting loudly: "Is the little guy finally willing to come out? Let me bring him over. I don't know if he has cultivated his magic and battle qi to a great extent." What's the matter? Do you want to fight with him first and then talk about other..."

　You said, if you don't ask for votes, will more people vote for me instead?
