The golden tobacco was wrapped in hand-rolled paper, and the flame of the match ignited the paper. Amidst the sizzling sound of burning, Finn Drost took a beautiful puff, flicked out the match, and threw the stick into the ashtray. .
"So, do you understand what I mean?"
It took more than ten minutes for Finn Drost to explain to the Yegorovs their intention and the reason why Citibank supported them.
After being rejected by Mavie and Katerina, Finn Drost turned his attention to other nobles. The reason is simple. Since the Church of Truth is short of money, they must find ways to make money. It may fall from the sky and can only be obtained from certain people.
Who are these people?
Looking at the Romanov Kingdom, the richest people must be the nobles. They control a large number of fields and shops, have millions of dollars, and are as rich as the country.
After analyzing the situation, Finn Drost approached nobles, such as Yegorov and his son.
Baron Vladimir looked at Finn Drost and asked a question that puzzled him: "What good will this do to Citibank?"
How do I know? It's all a task assigned to me by the old man... Finn was about to say this when he suddenly saw Baron Vladimir's doubtful and slightly alert look. He sighed and found an excuse at random: " This is an investment. As long as we make the right bet, we will be able to obtain huge benefits in the future. It is not convenient for me to elaborate on the specific benefits. You don’t need to ask. Those who understand will understand. There is no need to explain if you don’t understand.”
The smoke curls from the fingers, and the tobacco produced in the southern plantations inherently has a bloody aroma, as if what rises in the smoke is not nicotine or tar, but some kind of thick liquid.
"Ah, right."
Finn took out a small box of tobacco from his arms and put it on the tea table: "These are cigarettes produced in Maryland. There was plenty of rain last year and the quality is very good. You can try it."
After Baron Vladimir accepted the tobacco, Finn stood up, put on his top hat, put his black cane under his arm, and handed over a piece of paper with the address on it: "Then I'll take my leave. What's the matter? You can send someone to this hotel to inform me of the matter. As a witness of friendship, you will receive a pass for a fixed interest-free loan from our Citigroup Federal Bank. If your family encounters a bankruptcy crisis due to poor management in the future, a loan from Citigroup Federal Bank , will definitely help you tide over the difficulties smoothly.”
After saying that, Finn picked up the tea cup, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp, then raised the brim of his hat slightly and left the manor villa under the welcome of the butler.
"Father..."
Goffman looked at the frowning Baron Vladimir and hesitated: "Are you going to promise him?"
In the conversation just now, Baron Vladimir did not give Finn a definite answer. He needed time to think, and Finn was not aggressive. After explaining his reasons, he left very simply.
How to decide is Baron Vladimir's business. Time is tight. He has to rush to the next noble's house and cannot spend a whole day here.
"I don't know." Baron Vladimir slowly shook his head: "I'm not sure what Citibank wants to do, let alone how they knew that Ma Wei was coming to us. If this is a good thing, why did Citigroup Why doesn’t the Commonwealth Bank directly fund the Church of Truth? What’s the benefit of having us as a middleman?”
"No, that's not what I said."
Gorman asked: "Father, I want to ask, do you want to assist the Church of Truth?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think."
"I don't understand what you mean, father."
Baron Vladimir sighed softly: "I am old and can no longer do many things. Sooner or later, you will inherit my title and become the leader of the Yegorov family..."
The gray-haired Baron Vladimir looked at his young son, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
Gorman is different from him. He has not experienced the baptism of war and has always lived in a greenhouse. As a father, Baron Vladimir knows his son very well, and Gorman, who likes to do things impulsively, is obviously not suitable for being in the aristocratic circle. Life, for this reason, he must think about the future for his son.
"Before, I didn't want you to support Her Majesty Katerina because her chances of success were slim." Vladimir pondered: "Only a small number of people in the old army who followed His Majesty Peter chose to continue to follow her. To complete the unfinished work of His Majesty Peter, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of policies, she is very different from His Majesty Paul I."
"The vast majority of the nobles support His Majesty Paul I. Now the times have changed dramatically. Even the Wisdom Cult of the Popon Kingdom has intervened. In this situation, there is no doubt that Katerina wants to win. It’s just a fool’s dream.”
"But the situation is different now. Her Royal Highness Katerina has also received the support of the church. She also has 50,000 loyal soldiers in her hands. They are all veterans who have fought with His Majesty Peter. Their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. The only thing missing is financial resources."
"If Citibank chooses to fund His Royal Highness Katerina, the gap between her and His Majesty Paul I will quickly narrow, and she may even be slightly better in terms of financial resources... This is a fork in the road, son, I don't know either Who to choose?"
"We must choose Her Majesty Katerina!" Gorman said without hesitation: "She is so strong, so beautiful, much better than His Majesty Paul I! No matter how you look at it, we should choose her!"
"The more beautiful a woman is, the more terrifying she is. Son, there will be no consequences between you and Your Highness Katerina." Baron Vladimir slowly shook his head: "Her eyes are full of ambition. You can't suppress this kind of woman. It's impossible for her to fall in love with you, and you will only become a pawn to be used by her."
"I'm willing to be a pawn!"
"......"
Baron Vladimir wanted to scold his mother, but the person sitting opposite him was his son. Scolding him was tantamount to scolding himself, so he could only swallow his breath.
Dongdong!
"Sir, a guest is here. He claims to be Father Mawei from the Church of Truth." The butler opened the door and walked into the living room.
With a raised eyebrow, Baron Vladimir stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the figures standing at the door of the manor and looking at the woods on one side, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's really here...let...please..." They come in."
"yes."
..................................................
"Dad, what are you looking at?"
At the entrance of the manor, Yunia, who was wearing a white down coat, sniffed and followed Mavey's line of sight to the woods covered with snow on the right.
"Footprints." Ma Wei pointed to a row of footprints extending from the door into the depths of the woods. "Not long ago, someone entered the woods from here."
"Maybe you went in to play in the snow?" Yunia bent down and picked up a ball of snow, clenched it into a ball, ran a few steps away, turned around and threw it on Lai Wen's body, giggling.
Just as Lai Wen was about to fight back, he suddenly noticed something strange in Ma Wei's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the footprints?"
"The front tip is wide and the back is wide, and the mark is clear, indicating that they are hard-soled leather shoes, and the other party's status is not low."
Rubbing his chin, Mavey thought: "On one side of the footprints, you can still see the small round hole poked by the tip of the cane. This is the dressing habit of gentlemen in the Kingdom of Windsor. Very few people in the Romanov Kingdom use canes... ..”
Listening to Ma Wei's reasoning, Lai Wen was stunned and asked: "Boss, are you saying that the guest who just came is from the Kingdom of Windsor?"
"uncertain."
Ma Wei withdrew his gaze, looked at the housekeeper who was walking towards the door, and said in a calm voice: "You'll know when you go in and take a look."
