Chapter 87 The malice behind it (please subscribe)

"He is seeking foreign commission, which is why I recommended him to come to Calais. He has no foundation here and urgently needs to find strong local forces to support him." Alphonse chuckled: "So I plan to let William

Going to Paris with him will allow us to make use of some of his connections in Paris, which will help William quickly establish a foothold in Paris; and I am also considering setting up a branch in Paris so that we can provide necessary funds for William's activities."

"In the name of the business alliance?" Darren Desai asked.

"In the name of the Merchant Alliance, I think we can shirk the responsibility for the long-term losses in Paris. We can say that we are trying to get tax benefits for Calais and make friends with noble people to protect the interests of the Merchant Alliance." Alphonse smiled and said: "Anyway, William is here.

For three years of schooling, this branch will only lose money for three years at most. For one judge and three years of losses, the business alliance is completely acceptable;

The only trouble is Mr. Francis, so you have to take care of Sauvage II. After we help the special envoy take down the tax bureau, we can let Sauvage II also join the tax bureau. Naturally, Mr. Francis will not have any objections."<

/p>

"Your plan has been prepared for a few years?" Darren Desai said in disbelief.

"Part of it has been planned twenty years from now. Longer-term planning will help us invest in things that will be beneficial to us in the future; if five years from now, the tax bureau is in our hands and the town mayor is in our hands.

, even the court is in our hands, it is difficult to say that the business alliance will not make money.

So I think we should try our best to let other people in the business alliance make money, and it is important for us to invest in the future and master the channels to make money." Alphonse smiled:

"My way of making money is different from yours, so I hope for mutual benefit and win-win results. The four major families will gradually become the aristocracy and cultivate a new capitalist class to serve us. In a few years, maybe I will go to the New World to develop, and wait for another

Countless years later, when my descendants in the New World return to Calais, they will find that this is still their home."

"A huge dream!" Darren Desai's eyes also lit up. In fact, he was also worried about this problem. If William went to Paris to develop, or even the entire Desai family turned to Paris, then they would slowly lose their place in Canada.

Maybe one day, their influence will become nothing when they lose power in Paris?

But now it seems that Alphonse has also considered this issue, and is even more foresighted. He can only give up the opportunity to make money to others, cultivate more of his own party members, and then use these party members to support his own power; in this way

, when their party members are strong enough, as a protective umbrella, they will naturally grow into a thousand-year-old tree!

"A common dream for everyone, we will all take root in Calais!" Alfonse raised his hand, drawing everyone present into this dream. Although Yasuo and Badis' families are currently not in Calais,

But as long as some time passes, when Calais truly becomes their backyard, even if Alphonse doesn’t say anything, they will naturally bring their family to Calais and take root.

"Are you planning to go to the New World?" Darren Desai asked again.

"The new world means infinite new possibilities. I do have this plan, but it won't work in the short term." Alfonse said with a smile. Now that he is still young, he can easily lose his life when he goes to the New World, and he will also take Calais.

The foundation was completely lost.

"William, you have to learn from brother Alphonse and set a lofty dream for yourself." Darren Desai turned around and told little William.

"Yes! I will follow my brother's example!" Little William said confidently, and Alphonse just smiled lightly and said nothing. In fact, obedience is also a good quality, and being able to complete two tasks steadily according to other people's arrangements

Ten years of life are even more amazing!

"I should go change clothes, the guests will be arriving soon." Ann pushed Alphonse and replied.

"Okay, I have to change into something more beautiful." Alphonse let go of An and said with a smile.

"I should also do some aromatherapy." Yasuo also stood up and said.

"What aromatherapy?" An asked curiously.

"Nothing." Yasuo replied immediately.

"It can relieve fatigue. You can try it. Bring clothes and towels. I'll ask the maid to teach you how to use it." Alphonse smiled. Yasuo immediately rolled his eyes. Ann occupied the aromatherapy room, so what did he do?

Do?

"Then I have to give it a try, Yasuo, you can do it another day." An Guo jumped in line unexpectedly, which made Yasuo secretly regret that he wanted to say it out loud, so he muttered dissatisfied: "Alphonse, didn't you say

Do you want some herbal aromatherapy?"

"After the heightening work of the house is completed, I will have people make the aromatherapy room into two rows, one row for aromatherapy and one row for medicinal aromatherapy. Just use ginger." Alphonse smiled.

"That's how it should be." Yasuo cursed and went back to the room, while An went back to the room to get clothes and towels and went to the aromatherapy room, but Darren Desai grabbed Alphonse and pulled him to the corner.<

"By the way, there is something else I want to tell you." Darren lowered his voice slightly: "Since you came to Calais, have you never had contact with Mayor Burns?"

"Uh... probably, these matters were originally handled by Mr. Antoine and Mr. Alfred, weren't you involved later?" Alphonse replied with a little embarrassment, mainly because he didn't have any official connections.

ability, so he simply avoided it. Besides, he was in the arms business. If he wanted to please the mayor, how much profit would he lose every year?

"Well, originally you should have dealt with him more. Burns is not very popular. He can even be said to be a little chicken." Darren thought for a while and then said: "But now that this is the case, then you

Be careful, we will have to send him away sooner or later."

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? I haven't seen him do anything for so long?" Alphonse is quite optimistic, feeling that the mayor of Calais has never existed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Burns has no ability, he is just a tool supported by the Viscount of Boulogne. Before Dunkirk was taken back, the smuggling business in Calais was still very big; and over there in Dunkirk

Pirates gather together, and a lot of black goods will be smuggled through Calais to Boulogne, suddenly turning into serious things." Darren then revealed a lot of secrets:

"However, after the recovery of Dunkirk, the importance of Calais was not as good as before, and the Viscount of Boulogne also gradually transferred his energy to Dunkirk; I originally estimated that Burns must also put his efforts into it.

He was the mayor of Dunkirk, but now that business in Calais has improved, it seems he is unwilling to leave."

When Darren said this, Alfonse really frowned! Originally, he really didn't take such a small town mayor seriously, but if the Viscount of Boulogne, the largest local aristocrat, was involved, then the merchant alliance, inside

No matter what, there is really no confidence in driving Burns away; but if he cannot be driven away, the cost will be huge. Burns will have to pay a share, and the Viscount of Boulogne will also have to pay a share.

There is also the share promised to Rie. Their wealth is not enough for them to plunder the land like this!

"We must get rid of him. The merchant alliance has just been established. If we continue as before, all our money will be wasted." Alfonse said decisively: "I will go to Boulogne next month. Then I will go to Boulogne.

And solved the matter!"

"What are you going to do?" Darren frowned: "You may not know that he has been very close to Kain recently."

"Kain? Who?" Alphonse was stunned.

"A pirate was caught and almost went to the gallows, so he took refuge with the Viscount of Boulogne." Darren replied: "Although on the surface, he is now the captain of a privateer, he still does what he does.

It's a pirate's business; if Burns gets close to him, I think it's bound to be up to no good."

"Pirates..." Alphonse was silent for a while, thought for a while and then said: "I don't have any ideas yet, let me think about it; but please help me pay attention, not only the whereabouts of Burns"

, and the whereabouts of this Kain, even people coming from the direction of Boulogne, should pay attention."

"Okay, I told Carlos that he is Leia's cousin and is trustworthy. He also has contacts with all religions and has a way to find out about these things." Darren nodded and replied.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Alphonse nodded and replied. Since Darren wants to find his own people instead of letting Francis, a local coward, inquire, then naturally he has his reasons...

The frowning Alphonse walked back upstairs and was about to change clothes for the dinner. Unexpectedly, Kristina suddenly ran out of the room, blocked Alphonse and said: "I want to go to the manor too!"

"What are you going to do?" Alphonse still frowned.

"Keep an eye on you!" Christina replied angrily.

"Tina, you don't need to be tied to me, you are free; I let you learn knowledge and etiquette not to lock you up, but to make you better and chase what you want."

Fang Si sighed, stepped forward, patted her on the head and said: "You don't have to worry about the day I don't want you anymore, this will always be your home! No matter when you leave, you can come back at any time,

Do you understand?"

Kristina rushed into Alphonse's arms and hugged his waist tightly. Alphonse also stood there motionless. After a long time, Kristina stood up from Alphonse's arms again and lifted up his arms.

He raised his head, looked into Alphonse's eyes and said word by word: "Do you promise? Even if one day I get married?"

"I promise." Alphonse smiled.

"This is our agreement, don't forget it!" Christina said, then turned around and ran back to her room...

Looking at Christina's closed door, Alphonse shook his head with a wry smile, and then walked back to the room. Maybe he should take a bath to clear his mind again. After all, there are more things to think about now.
