The funny side of Luther's personality broke out again, but it didn't matter because Luther would never show it.

You can be funny, but you must never let others find out.

Um.

Back to the point, Luther's plan has been fully revealed. He also explained why Pompeii was chosen as a hot spring resort.

Because the development of a metropolis will be a much larger project than a hot spring resort.

The hot spring resort is already a treasure.

Then a metropolis will be an inexhaustible treasure.

Not to mention Alice and Miss Amanda who were already very interested, even the six contemporary knights and even Mrs. Morgan showed strong interest.

Mrs. Morgan even thought, "When I return to the family, I will get a larger share of the investment even if I have to throw a tantrum."

Because the equity shares of all partners have been determined, the Pompeii family is the shareholder of the Pompeii Knights and has nothing to do with other Pompeii members.

There is no way, although we are all family. But after all, we are distant relatives, and the profit is so huge, Luther can't share the cake with other clansmen.

Besides, no one else in Pompeii could come up with enough money to invest in such a large project.

Of course, if the Pompeii people are interested, Luther can still share some of the profits with them when the future metropolis is built.

After all, building a metropolis is a very, very big cake.

Miss Alice is an independent partner and she alone provides the capital.

The six knight families have already discussed the investment ratio, and they all contribute the money from the entire family, including the main family and many side branch members.

I worked hard to collect 200,000 gold coins.

The Will family occupies the smallest proportion because the Will family is small.

The only one left is the Morgan family. Now Amanda has decided to invest and believes that she will get the support of the family. However, how the family proportion should be distributed and how many people will participate in the investment are all things that can be fought for.

Mrs. Morgan decided to roll up her sleeves and fight.

Fight.

Although she was a wealthy widow and not very interested in money, she would definitely fight for the huge income that was about to come.

What follows is a long business negotiation.

Mainly Miss Alice, and the Morgan family's investment share.

This project is so tempting. The future profits will be unlimited. Investing one more gold coin will generate more gold coins.

Luther Pompey, as the owner of this place and the planner of the project, had no choice but to obtain 40% of the shares for 100,000 gold coins.

The six families shared 10 percent of the shares, and the remaining 50 percent had to be fought for.

A bayonet fight.

Miss Amanda and Miss Alice fought for a week, wasting countless saliva, and finally the Orange Consortium was established.

The documents were signed at the city hall and witnessed by Pompeii Mayor Lelouch, the Orange Foundation was established.

Among them, the Pompeii family holds 40% of the shares, six families hold 10% of the shares, the Morgan family holds 30% of the shares, and Miss Alice holds 20% of the shares.

Even though the Morgan family holds more shares, it is actually Miss Alice who won.

Because the former is a family share, while Miss Alice is a single person.

This made Amanda very uncomfortable, and the two ladies had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel. But this was not beyond Luther's expectations, because Miss Alice also had advantages.

Although the Morgan family has influence in several surrounding territories, it is obviously unable to compete with Alice in Patton Territory.

Now that the equity has been distributed, it’s just a matter of implementation details.

First of all, the Orange Group needs a professional operation team. But this doesn’t matter. There are many management talents in this world, and Alice and the Morgan family have more extensive connections, so they can find the management team.

Next are the four partners, each of whom will send a trusted person to join the group to oversee the financial operations of the consortium.

There is no way around it. The laws in this world are still imperfect. If you want to control your wallet, you still have to keep an eye on it yourself.

If the money is misappropriated, it will be gone.

Financial monitoring is necessary.

There is also the question of how to spend and gather the 1.3 million gold coins. Obviously, it cannot be gathered all at once, otherwise the huge sum of 1.3 million gold coins will attract a large number of thieves.

Money can be accumulated little by little and then spent little by little.

There are a few other minor details, but they're inconsequential.

For example, in terms of publicity, Luther also had an advantage. If he relied solely on the Pompeii family to develop the resort, not only would there be a lack of funds, but publicity would also be an expense.

Because although the Pompeii family had some fame in Orange, they had no connections. Outside of Patton County, they were completely in the dark and didn't know anyone.

The publicity will be a huge expense.

But Miss Alice, the Morgan family has extensive connections in the nearby territories, and the Morgan family even has some connections in Golden City.

Their connections are often relatively wealthy businessmen, artists, knights, and lords.

What does it represent? Kaizi.

Come to Pompeii and spend your money, my dears.

Advertise and let them do it.

Wouldn't it save a lot of money to promote it this way? Of course, as the resort develops, promotional expenses are still needed, and it has to be oriented to the whole of Orange, right? In short, these detailed business negotiations and discussions took a whole week. A week later, the six families, Miss Alice, Miss Amanda, and Mrs. Morgan left Pompeii to raise funds and implement the plan.

The resort will not be completed all at once. According to the plan, the resort will open in a year at the earliest. If it is slower, it may even open in two years.

There is nothing we can do about it. All kinds of things take time to handle.

Moreover, this world does not have fast means of transportation like airplanes. It is better to say that if you hear that there is a candidate for general manager in Golden City, you can send someone to contact him.

The round trip takes about a month.

For example, there is a very good etiquette trainer in Sparta who can train our waiters. Sending people there will take time.

Not to mention the training of waiters and other staff.

One year is pretty fast.

Luther spent a lot of time thinking about this project, which was quite tiring. So after the agreement was reached and the partners left, Luther breathed a sigh of relief.

Luther planned to give up his daily knight training and take a few days off to relax, lie in bed and sleep, and read his favorite knight novels.

But when I'm busy, I'm always so busy that I can't stop.

Now, another thing has come up.
