Chapter 36 Capital Shock
Peter's question made Eric hesitate for a few seconds. He first looked at his daughter Diane, who nodded slightly to show that Peter and Gwen were trustworthy.
Even so, Eric weighed it in his mind for a few seconds before deciding to reveal all the existing information and his decision.
"He came to me and had several conversations when I was under house arrest by Fisker, and he proposed a deal at that time."
As soon as Eric said the words, Gwen straightened her body. She looked at Eric in disbelief, and even touched her ears, wondering if she was hallucinating because of Peter's cry.
Listen to the symptoms.
Diane had also foreseen Gwen's reaction. She shook her head at her father, and then took over from her father to explain:
"You should all be aware of the problems our family is facing today.
Now Milk has gained control of the family. Although it is not firm, he has also won the support of some core members of the family. He has now gathered his own power within the family.
Now, in order to consolidate his control, Milk has betrayed the interests of many families and reached deals or alliances with some politicians and other forces.
The most powerful and dangerous force among them is Fisk.
So now even if my father wants to regain control of the family, he will inevitably start a war with Milk.
If things really develop to this point, then our family will definitely be affected by this internal fight. No matter who wins, they will be reaped by others and become someone else's puppet.
This is a situation that my father and I never want to see. If we can do it, we prefer to control the harm to a minimum."
Listening to Diane's explanation, Gwen's tight body gradually relaxed, but it was still possible to see that she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart. Making a deal with a criminal seemed to her like condoning crime, and what was even worse was that
Only now did she realize that Diane’s family was also a member of the underground world.
Although they only got along for a few days, Diane had a good impression of this ghost spider who talked a lot and had a venomous mouth, but was very kind at heart.
So even though she knew that Gwen would definitely not assist her in this operation, she still tried her best to explain why she made such a choice.
"Milk was able to successfully seize control of our family, except that no one expected his betrayal, mainly because of the help Fisk provided him.
If we can get Fisk to stop, Milk will lose his biggest support, which is the threat of force. The current manpower he has is not enough to suppress the opponents in the family.
At that time, Milk, who has no legitimate identity or reason to take power, will be automatically eliminated, and we will no longer even need to take action."
Peter didn't really care who Diane was doing the deal with. Peter didn't have a mental disorder in this regard. As long as the method was effective and didn't break certain bottom lines, Peter could accept it, so he directly asked what he was most concerned about.
"So what's the deal?"
Diane glanced at her father, only to find that Eric was nodding to let her continue explaining, so she had no choice but to continue:
"Fisk hopes that our family will use our energy in politics to persuade some congressmen for him to pass several of his plans.
In return, in addition to giving up his support for Milk, he will also allow us to participate in his business."
After speaking, she specifically said to Gwen:
"These businesses are all legal. Although they use some less visible methods, they are still within the legal scope. This is what our family is best at."
Then she took out her phone again, searched for some information, and put it directly on the desktop.
What was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone was a bill explanatory document, and the title at the top was the Fallow Protection Plan (CRP).
The content of the plan is that the government pays landowners to stop farming in order to protect land erosion, improve water quality, and protect animals, but Peter from the 'future' understands that this is actually just to prevent local farmers from diluting the entire market.
Diane continued to explain:
"Fisker wants to acquire a lot of land, some in Hell's Kitchen and some out in the suburbs.
He plans to work with us to establish a fund for land acquisition. He will first apply for a conservation easement on the purchased suburban land and reduce the real estate tax by two-thirds, and then find the Ministry of Agriculture to include the land in the 'Fallow Protection Plan' through our operations.
'.
And we can use this plan to receive government subsidies, which can offset the cost of the land in only seven years."
This operation shocked both Peter and Gwen. Although Peter had experienced the baptism of capital in later generations, he did not expect that there was such a way for the landlord to make money while lying down.
And this is not over yet, Diane pointed to the plan and continued:
"Fisker and we will invest 100 million US dollars to buy land, and then use subsidies to buy more land. We can buy 50,000 acres every year without spending a penny. We will make a profit in two years, and the annual net income will be about 4
Sixteen million, and we will split the money equally with Fisker.
But we can’t interfere with the contracting and renovation of Hell’s Kitchen.”
Peter numbly counted the values of 46 million U.S. dollars converted into RMB, but found that his brain really did not have this calculation function. However, he compared the 3 million U.S. dollars that he had worked so hard to earn and couldn't help but sigh that Marx was sincere.
Bullying me.
A circle appeared in front of Gwen's eyes, and this huge amount of money gave her a big financial shock.
But Diane said without any pain or itch:
"Although this income is indeed considerable, enough to account for 7% of our family's annual net income in the United States, the most important thing in this transaction is that he no longer supports Milk. As long as this transaction can be passed, then we will
You can easily regain control of the family."
Normally, Gwen would have started to complain about Diane's behavior in Versailles, but Diane's too bland tone and expression now all showed that this was the truest thought in Diane's heart, and Gwen was once again affected by it at that time.
A round of capital shock.
And Peter was completely numb. If Diane's father wasn't right next to him, he couldn't help but want to hug Diane's thigh and shout, "Rich woman! Hungry! Rice!"
Fortunately, Peter had also experienced many storms. He tried hard to maintain a normal tone and asked softly:
"Then what do you need me for? Judging from the content of your transaction, there doesn't seem to be any need for me."
Diane nodded.
"If the transaction is successful, you do not need to participate, but we need to be prepared for the transaction to fail.
So I need the stealth ability you have shown before to sneak into our house and find Milk. Once our transaction fails, you will need to control him in time."
Then Diane added helplessly:
Chapter completed!
