Kane went straight to the mayor's office in London.
Failed to stop the successful Wen Cree's male secretary with a look of shame and anxiously ran over to whisper in Crossland's ear.
Crossland snorted after hearing it, and waved at the secretary unpleasantly, pointing at Sang and cursing Huai: "Now finding a suitable man is getting harder and harder. Anyone can break in."
Kane winked at Maria. Maria stepped forward and dragged the secretary, grabbed the other party like a chicken, and took the door by the way.
Kane smiled: "This shows that Mr. Crossland's vision of people is not correct, and my servant is quite useful."
Saying that he didn't care about Crossland's bad eyes, he took care of himself and sat down, took a cigar out of the cigar box on Crossland's desk, looked at it, sniffed it, and put it back .
Then draw a box from his pocket, put it on the table, take out one, open the oil paper packaging used to ensure constant temperature and humidity, wake up, and then cut it with a cigar cutter, and use the burning maple wood to pre-prepar It's hot, and then it's suction. Every 30 seconds or so, it won't get into the lungs and taste in the mouth ...
Just by looking at the practice of running clouds and flowing water, I know that this is really exquisite.
But the more Kane was like this, the more frustrated Crossland was, and his eyes were covered with a cloud over his face.
"Mr. Crossland, I did not wrong you, your trusted partner. In the past three years, except for helping you with all the investment, I did not bring back a penny of profit. Counting up again, there are also many examples of investment failures. , I will not count them one by one. "
Crossland heard that his face was no longer overcast, but savage.
"Relax, I didn't make a special trip to expose your scars, Thomas. If I had to say anything, I think so, the profession has expertise, and your expertise is diplomacy, not making money, so I'm always Those who seem to be very technical are cheating. "
"Of course, it doesn't really make much sense to say this. After all, there is no substantial help for the upcoming mayoral election. The mayoral election is very expensive. I don't mind if you use all those important scoreboards, it will make You have no cards to play in a crisis, and your opponent will find your weakness. "
Kane's face was right, "Money, I have. But directly funding you, the effect is not good, it is far less effective than being a large shareholder of a gold mine. Send a telegram to Fred, who is still anxious to get angry in California. , Let him contact my people, the Crossland family will be developed. "
In 1848, a carpenter in Suter Place in northeastern California discovered gold. This happened in January. At this time, California was still a Mexican territory. In February, Mexico was defeated in the US-Mexico War and California became the United States.
In 49 years, the California gold rush really started, and what was later called the 49ers was the one who poured into San Francisco this year and wanted to get rich overnight.
The Crossland family jumped into this pit in 1950. It seems that it is not too late. After all, the logistics in the middle of the 19th century cannot be compared with the 21st century. At that time, from the developed East Coast to the West Coast of the United States, whether it was by boat or crossing, it was not ordinary effort.
Unfortunately, the risk of gold mining is high. Crossland has been pitted for two years, and his blood has no return. Thomas ’brother Fred has personally come off the job and is useless.
Then, there was a wonderful event here. I do n’t know if it ’s poor, or I believe in something evil. Fred actually believed in the nuggets of a nugget and ran to Seattle to find a gold mine. It was really found.
As we all know, if there is no Klondike gold rush, Seattle will not have Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks and Amazon.
Happened in the Klondike gold rush in the 1890s, and only a few people made a fortune in the end. And if who is the biggest winner is Seattle, which repeated the rise of San Francisco because of the gold rush.
It was pointed out that the gold rush to search for gold mines near the Klondike River in the Yukon Territory of Canada was basically a conspiracy of Seattle as the only material distribution and distribution point in that area at that time.
And the truth is that there is really gold there, but it has been eaten a lot, this is the Crosland family.
Tax evasion and murmuring prosperity. The truth was not revealed until the Crossland family fell due to a political scandal. Then there was the Seattle conspiracy.
Has made enough preparations for the historical downstream visitors, of course Kane must make full use of this secret.
The Nuggets who gave Fred Crossland a blow, boasted a wave of bulls, and blew people. In addition to successfully fooling Fred, there was no success in history, and even a few soups could not be done. To.
And he used it, Thomas? Crossland, can use his strong network and social energy, and power to help him clear obstacles and return to the upper class.
This is speculation and self-knowledge. Kane admits that he does not have the communication level of that fake Ted, especially the on-the-spot play of human talk, the one who is definitely an Oscar. It is also impossible for him to spend time and energy on social activities one after another.
So how to make Baron Willingborough re-approved by the upper class in London is naturally to find such a reliable person to pave the way, he is responsible for acting at the right time.
Identify and manage key people and let them serve their goals. This is the basic skill of an exploiter.
Kane is not bad in this respect, it can be described as reverse thinking, you are all polite and humble, I do n’t, I do n’t play those foolish things, just go to dry goods and take you to the point. , The world is bustling with each other, and no one has escaped the concepts of love and profit.
From the engagement to the present, Thomas, who had only said one word, stared at Kane with a staring look: "What do you want?"
Kane smiled: "Thomas, you don't know me very well. I do things, and I will not mention the conditions until I am satisfied with each other. It is too early to discuss what I want, but I believe you can also guess One or two is nothing more than using your strengths. Just like you use my strengths to make money. Well, try the cigars produced by my manor, I ca n’t describe how good it is, the only thing I can guarantee , That is, it takes one less. "
Is indeed to draw one less one, with the devil tears added to it, and then count the cost of using the sand of time, saying that it is tens of millions of dollars.
Actually, Thomas just sniffed the smoke of Kane's cloud, and already knew that this was a good thing. After smoking, he was completely infatuated with this little thing.
With the latitude of Britain and the climate of the island, rheumatism is easy to get sick, and tobacco and wine are inseparable. Wine has whiskey, but good tobacco leaves cannot be produced by yourself. Cain sends cigars. .
After meeting the Mayor of London, Kane has no social activities worth mentioning.
Normally, nobles do not need to introduce each other. Socializing is one of their main jobs, including knowing other nobles in the circle.
I came to see you, and you don't know who I am. This is regarded as disrespectful and rude.
If there are foreign nobles visiting, someone will introduce them.
So the situation of self-introduction is unimaginable and does not meet the code of conduct.
In this context, Baron Willingborough, a nobleman who has faded out of frequent social activities because he has become a poor ghost, wants to return to it, in addition to finding ways to create momentum, and leaving enough time for other noblemen to obtain intelligence. Very important.
But at this time, Queen Victoria had just been in power (51 years), and her servant, Duchess Anna, had not been hypocritical enough to feel hungry every afternoon, let the servants eat small refreshments, and did not have the majesty of power afterwards, so every move. , Have been imitated by the ladies, so that afternoon tea has become a routine ritual.
It is increasingly necessary to leave some time for the news to circulate.
In fact, the gossip book is the main communication content of the nobles' social activities. How can there be so many tall people? Not many people like to listen to serious things. It is a business. If you want to talk, you can go to the library or make another appointment.
Therefore, the news that Baron Willingborough's riches have returned to mass consumption will take at least half a month to be widely disseminated.
Taking action during this time period is more effective and can even be scorned.
This is also an important reason for Kane to find the mayor of London to pave the way. He didn't have so much time to spend time, Thomas helped him deal with common affairs, he invested energy and time in the preparation of the main action.
For example, explore the old house with hidden secrets.
In fact, a wizard's safe house is not enough for an old bird like him to play. It is because he has low means and time-consuming operation. It even needs to be divided into several stages and it takes a few days to get it.
During this period, he met John Flint played by Carol Flint.
John is a dumb cannon, Carol is his blood, these two points ensure the success of the victory.
The first time the two met, Carol brought 34 people to Kane.
This is all on the death list.
Kane killed 32 on the spot, and the remaining two were used as servants.
Carroll is intuitively aware of the terrible cruel face Kane.
All of them killed by him were extremely painful. They sucked their lives and sucked their soul.
The two servants were not lucky enough, Kane's current mental control is not good, so the thick nails of the index finger are inserted into the brain and cut through the amygdala. And in the way of magical radiation, he performed operations similar to brain frontal lobectomy. There was no emotion or fear. It only said that if the purpose was achieved, hundreds of millions of people would not be touched before they died. This is no longer human.
Kane did n’t need ‘them’, he wanted ‘them’, a simple worm swarm that was almost a puppet, and he personally served as a brain worm.
Brain control, biochemical and magic transformation, put into battle or production, this is the initial stage of the death star Lord is simple.
"I still need more of these kinds of magical materials, please come together."
"Okay, Mr. Shafiq."
"Call me Ted, or Auston."
"Okay, Mr. Auston."
Kane's harvest in the secret realm of the old building is very limited, and the purchase of magic materials can only rely on the dumb gun John Flint.
The wizarding world is the epitome of the secular society. The wizards of this era are old-fashioned and discriminate against mud species.
Muggle people are not allowed to appear on the occasion of the lamp wizard in Diagon Alley.
Freshmen have shopping needs and young children need guardians, then the professor will follow.
The particularity of the dumb gun gives it the right to enter and exit the wizarding place.
Of course, it is inevitable to be despised, and even mud breeds will join the ranks of ridicule.
Compare, show off blood, wealth, the British wizarding world of this era, material desires flow, shallow into the wind.
In Kane ’s words: the inevitable process of development, true aristocrats also came step by step from mud legs, country gangsters, upstarts, and superficials. Otherwise, there will be no three generations of precipitation before it can be said to be expensive.
Anyway, he wouldn't pretend to be a wizard at this time and touch that circle, which is inconsistent with his identity. Moreover, the benefits are not obvious, and there is a lot of trouble.
"Yes, you take one servant, it is convenient to do things, Lincoln, Kennedy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ which one do you choose?"
Carol's mouth twitched, and he said you would really be named.
"Kennedy." Carol added the second half of the sentence: "At least this is not well-known now." ...
In early November, the Kane family moved into the old building, which was renamed Willingborough Mansion.
After nearly half a month of renovation, here has become a qualified baron. This kind of house is originally focused on charm, and everywhere there are new objects that exude thief light, but it is not beautiful.
After more than ten days of general support, Hani and three other masters and servants, their miserable and embarrassed colors were basically condensed. The exquisite and elegant Chinese clothes and high-end jewelry gave their masters a bright and decent appearance.
In fact, the aristocracy is not going in and out of the shop, the more gorgeous the better, there are hidden rules of over-restriction in the background, wearing socially more expensive than the host or guest, is considered provocative. Especially in this era of high-ranking people scrambling to do face-saving projects.
The embodiment of wealth is mainly based on the style of clothing. Paris, France has always been the vane of women's clothing. If you do not participate in this year's new clothes, you will be considered out of touch with the times and you can't afford it.
Hanni and Lydia also went to Paris, where they made up their costumes and jewelry. The process is described in one sentence: it ’s so good to have money.
So even though they played with Kane separately during this time, they met again and the two women's attitudes have changed significantly.
At least when communicating, it is already very natural, and he is not hardened when he is called, as if he is really a family.
Money always has face.
Kane didn't feel particularly about it. Human nature is like this, the extra sigh is like sniffing your feet and sniffing them in front of your nose and then stinking.
According to the big plan, Dumbledore and Laura are about to arrive, he must do the reception work ......
