Extraordinary Noble
Chapter 35: Victor's shock
"Yeah." Smith sighed, although he also knew that Victor was utilitarian in doing so, but in the end the other party did everything to cultivate him, watching Victor sell his property, he also uncomfortable.
Colin nodded, and then suddenly said, "Brother, please tell His Excellency Victor that I will visit him this Saturday."
"Yeah." Smith didn't think too much, and nodded in response.
The next afternoon, Smith didn't eat dinner, so he rode his Donggrand war horse and went back to Victor's villa outside the city to continue his knight training.
On Saturday, Colin got up early, rented a Donggrand white horse from the horse shop, and went out of the city to Victor's villa outside the city.
Today is a good day, but the sun is a little poisonous. Colin galloped on the open road, passing pedestrians and carriages, and there were endless wheat fields on both sides of the road, and countless farmers were busy in the wheat fields.
The wheat in Will City is usually harvested in September, and the yield can almost be seen by now. Most of this year is a bumper harvest year, and the empire is short of grain, so both grain merchants and farmers can benefit from it.
Although these hard-working peasants were sweating like rain, their faces were full of joy.
After a while, Colin came to Victor Knight's country house surrounded by wheat fields and oak trees. The iron gate of the villa is still open. But unlike the last time, this time the old man at the door recognized Colin and directly invited Colin to come in.
After entering the gate, Colin saw from a distance that Knight Victor was training Smith. Smith had a bronze bloodline, but he had not received knight training before. Although he worked hard to use the training sword, it was still very lame.
On the other side, several other knight apprentices are training themselves. Obviously, Victor Knight's energy is mainly on Smith.
The old man trotted all the way to Knight Victor. Knight Victor turned to look at Colin, and called Smith to meet him.
"Colin." Smith, shirtless and covered in sweat, came up to hug Colin.
"Brother." Colin didn't dislike it either, and hugged Smith.
"Your Excellency Victor." Colin only bowed to Knight Victor after he let go of Smith.
"Colin." Knight Victor bowed slightly, then said with a smile, "You two brothers, go to the living room and sit down."
He thought Colin was here to see Smith, was he still here to see the old man?
Colin shook his head, abandoned Smith, and said to Knight Victor with a smile, "No, just let my brother train by himself. I came here specifically to talk to you about things."
Victor Knight was surprised, while Smith hurriedly turned around and continued to train.
After being surprised, Knight Victor invited Colin to sit in the living room.
The modestly dressed maid brought two plates, put down the brewed black tea, and a sugar cube. Colin smelled something different from Duke's black tea. He bent down and took a piece of sugar cube out of the sugar bowl, put it into the black tea, and stirred it gracefully with a small spoon before taking a sip of the black tea.
Although they are all black teas from Zealand, this tea is of a lower grade than Duke black tea.
It's a little rude to say that. Victor Knight's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a wry smile: "Recently, my family's economic situation has indeed had a problem."
Speaking of which, Victor Knight's expression became serious and said, "But Colin, no matter what, I will try my best to train Smith."
"You misunderstood. I didn't come to laugh at your financial situation, nor to doubt your determination to train my brother." Colin smiled and put down the teacup.
Victor was immediately confused. It wasn't because of this, so what are you doing here? It also pointed out the things that my economy was not as good as before.
"The economic situation is not good, so we need to find a way to improve it. Selling the property is not the way to last." Colin sat upright with an elegant posture of aristocrat, indescribably calm. Then he smiled and said, "I came to visit you to discuss a business with you."
Victor Knight was somewhat disapproving, not because he underestimated Colin. But the family situation before the Russells was really bad, there were no housekeepers, servants, carriages, and no business.
Although Colin Russell has some little fame in the academy, he is expected to become a lifelong knight of the Empire. But still a little kid.
What good business does Colin Russell have?
However, Colin Russell's biggest advantage is that he is the younger brother of Bronze Bloodline Smith. Although Victor disagreed in his heart, he showed interest on his face and said, "What business?"
"The most profitable secular business this year, food." Colin smiled slightly.
Victor Knight shook his head in his heart, a little kid is a little kid. Who doesn't know that the most profitable business this year is the food business?
Victor still looked at Smith's face~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did not say anything excessive, but said bitterly: "Colin. The grain business is not easy to do. First of all, there are a group of grain merchants in Will City, some nobles. , There are rich businessmen, it is difficult to get a share from them. Second, I have no funds. Third, as far as I know, although the grain produced this year has not yet been harvested, those grain businessmen have already obtained from the farmers in advance. It's too late to get involved."
"Actually, it's just one question. Money." Colin shook his head, raised his left leg slightly and raised Erlang's leg, and said comfortably: "Before September 1st, I gave out 300 gold coins as funds to establish a food company. And you, you can also bring in the lifelong knights of the empire you know, such as your comrades in the Gale Knights. You don’t need to pay a penny, you only need to use your identity to invest in shares. I hold 60% of the shares, You are forty percent."
Victor showed a look of shock, and said with a slight gaffe: "Colin, are you kidding me? That's three hundred gold coins."
Smith, a young financial officer who works in the Ministry of Finance, earns only a dozen gold coins a year. This is already a decent job. Three hundred gold coins, equivalent to Smith's salary for the past twenty or thirty years.
Just like a lifelong knight like Victor, his wealth is of course a lot, but it is extremely difficult to come up with three hundred cash.
And he had heard before that the Russell family was poor. Is this all poor? What is my home?
And there is another point, three hundred gold coins can be used as three thousand gold coins or even more funds through some decent operations.
"Your Excellency Victor, as an imperial noble. I know when to joke around and when not to joke about it." Colin showed seriousness, his blue eyes exuding a different aura.
