Chapter 165 Black Mountain Town Strategy
The Fisher family took over the mansion in Black Mountain Town that was originally lived in by the Spirit Deer family and the Roaring Family.
The local people thought it was very ominous. In just a few years, two powerful families were destroyed and one fell into poverty because of the mansion. There must be some kind of curse.
However, the Fischer family has never been superstitious.
In their hearts, they believe themselves to be God's agents and completely disdain the rumors of the curse. Besides, how did the Garcia family fall into such a state? Isn't it possible that we, Fisher, don't know?
The new mansion in Black Mountain Town is called Black Mountain Manor. Its architectural structure is a bit old, but it is much larger than Fisher Manor.
The main mansion is a five-story house with three upper floors and two lower floors. Its exterior is in a concave shape. There are enough rooms inside to accommodate four to five hundred people, and it also has two floors of large underground space.
On both sides of the Black Mountain Manor owner's mansion, there are two shorter three-story mansions, which can accommodate a total of four to five hundred people, but they are rooms specially for servants.
Every morning, a large number of servants would get up before dawn and then rush to the main mansion to finish most of the work before their masters woke up.
Irene had taken Lillian away, and no one knew where they had gone.
Licia began to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the shrine, and the girl was also happy to do it.
Byrne, Chris, and Darren were holding a new family meeting in the basement. It was called a family meeting, but in reality the two people in the back were just listening to Byrne talking for a long time.
"Chris, you and Darren stay in Nasir Town. You don't need to worry about most of the things here. They have been completely formed. You just need to make sure they are running normally."
"Darren, you need to observe the operations of the entire family and learn about all walks of life. Do you understand?"
"I'm going to Black Mountain Town to sort out the situation in Black Mountain Town."
Black Mountain Town is a famous gambling destination, especially well-known throughout the East Coast Province for horse racing. Even people from other provinces come here to gamble. Many criminals and villains visit there, and the public security in Black Mountain Town is actually not very good.
Moreover, the Garcia family's power has been withdrawn, and facing the new lord, many small forces in the entire town are still in a state of panic.
Byrne must go there in person and give people an explanation on behalf of the Fisher family.
"Then Theo and I will take our people away right away. Chris, just let Vanessa handle anything that comes up. Just solve whatever problem she asks you to solve."
"I know you don't want to think about those boring things. In fact, I think it's right. After all, thinking too much will affect your progress in becoming stronger, and that is the foundation of the Fisher family!"
When Byrne said this, he felt deep down that there were not enough people.
Over the past twenty years, the Fisher family has expanded too rapidly. Their sphere of influence has covered the entire four towns, but they currently have too few reliable people.
Irene left temporarily, and Byrne had to go to Black Mountain Town for a while. He even had to re-employ Vanessa and let her be responsible for handling the affairs of Nasir Town.
"It seems that the Fisher family needs more reliable personnel and vassals."
Currently, the only baron family that is a vassal of the Fisher family is Baron Adrian's family, and the knight families that are vassalized by them are only five of the eleven villages, all of which were taken over from the Linglu family.
The current number of vassals is actually very small among the major viscount families. Of course, the dark cult force "Dawnbreakers" is not counted here.
——
Black Mountain Town.
Two heads of knight families, four big businessmen from guilds, the local boss of the Gloer gang, and the elders of the local Silver Clan, eight big shots in the eyes of ordinary people, were communicating in the luxurious box of the horse racing field.
The Silver Elder frowned and asked, "What kind of person is Mr. Byrne from the Fisher family?"
The president of the Tailors Guild was worried and asked in confusion, "It doesn't matter who Bayne Fischer is. What matters is, will he overturn the previous agreement between us and the Garcia family and ask for an exorbitant price?"
An old knight shook his head and said uncertainly, "I don't think so. It is said that the Fisher family has a good reputation and is not very good at exploiting its subordinates."
In the beginning, the Linglu family's commission in all walks of life was relatively low, and everyone was used to it. But then the Garcia family came and they directly doubled the commission!
Finally, someone couldn't bear it any longer and protested, and even wanted to go to the church to seek justice, but Viscount Garcia secretly killed his entire family.
From then on, every businessman in Heishan Town dared not speak out and could only keep their heads down.
The president of the Carpenters Guild sighed and shouted, "What if the Fisher family really raises the pumping rate? We won't be able to make any money! We can't do this! Is there no way we can deal with it?"
The Silver Elder sneered and said, "What can you do? What can you do? The Garcia family is defeated. Are you planning to become an enemy of the powerful Fisher family? Do you want to die on the streets and let your children live in a den of prostitution?"
"well……"
Everyone is sighing and groaning. In fact, a stable environment for making money is more important than anything else, and everyone knows this.
It is even more impossible to fight against the Fisher family. All the people combined cannot beat one hand of Chris Fisher!
The local forces in Syat are extremely powerful, and even if the royal family wants to reform, it will be difficult.
Even the gang boss fell into deep thought. They had always been responsible for maintaining law and order at the horse racing track, but after the Garcia family came, this job was replaced by their people.
Coupled with Viscount Garcia's iron fist, the Gloer Gang's other revenues were also forced to decrease, and if he hadn't quickly fallen to his knees, he would have even died.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Bayern Fischer, dressed in black, came in from outside with a smile on his face and led Theo in.
"So everyone is here. That's great. I don't need to call you over anymore."
Everyone was shocked! They had no idea how Bayern Fischer was found!
"Sir Byrne!"
"Hello, welcome, Lord Byrne!"
"I have always admired the Fisher family and have dreamed of your heroic figure..."
Everyone was stunned for a while, then immediately stood up and greeted Bayern Fischer politely.
The crowd did not look like bigwigs from various industries, but more like a group of top students from the etiquette school, and even had cold sweat on their faces.
Byrne waved his hand to indicate that he could stop.
He first named the local gangster, the boss of the Grol Gang, and said coldly:
"I don't care about collecting protection money and maintaining the security of the casino, but you must stop using usury to squeeze and control people from today! I'm not giving you a suggestion, I'm giving you an order!"
As a gambling mecca, Heishan Town has a thriving sex business and is also a famous den of money-spending, so all kinds of crimes are rampant.
Byrne knew that it was unrealistic to disband the gang, and he also attached great importance to the profits of the brothel business. The brothel must be managed by someone, preferably someone familiar.
The leader of the Gloer Gang bowed immediately and said with sweat dripping down his back:
"Okay, Lord Byrne, I understand! I understand!"
He had heard that Lord Byrne was a kind but cruel man, and since the other party spoke in a serious tone, he'd better obey his orders.
However, the leader of the Gloer gang did not know that Byrne had already planned to gradually replace him with the Dagger Brotherhood and would publicly judge him in a few years.
On the one hand, it can alleviate the anger of the local poor people, and on the other hand, it can also gain the reputation of the Fischer family.
He didn't even know that he died as a result of Vanessa's secret investigation.
She found out that the Gloer gang used loan sharks and illegal drugs to control dozens of poor girls, especially some of them were children from Nasir Town.
Byrne had known the little girl's family in Nasir Town and had even held her in his arms. After he learned about this, he had already decided the fate of the Gloer Gang in his heart.
As for whether his actions will affect the interests of the Fisher family?
Not at all, because the Dagger Brotherhood will fill the management vacancy of the Gloer Gang, and they will receive a lot of money in the future, and their control over the local area will be much stronger.
Now, as long as they do not go against the opinions of all the small forces, the powerful Fisher family can deal with any local small force at will! Act recklessly!
If they really went against the opinions of all the small forces and incurred public anger, then they would have no choice but to... replace the leaders of all the small forces.
"I will lower the withdrawal rate set by the Garcia family, but it won't be as low as the one set by the Linglu family."
Byrne looked at the people who were feeling uneasy but relieved, smiled, and extended his olive branch.
"The Fischer family will build four new factories in the next few years, just around Black Mountain Town! I welcome everyone to invest together! I believe that you have all used the products of the Fischer family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, because that meant new benefits! Now everyone knows that building a factory means making money!
Byrne understood one thing very well: to win people's hearts, all he had to do was to do a good job of rewarding and punishing, and to lead everyone to gain benefits. There was no point in talking too much nonsense.
If the Fischer family's factory can make money for everyone, everyone will be willing to obey them, and then those "thorns" can be eliminated, and things will be almost done.
As for many detailed issues, you don't need to deal with them yourself. If you have to do everything yourself, why does the family support so many people?
Byrne fell into deep thought. The profits he could get from Black Mountain Town were very high. The family's funds would increase, and he would have a chance to realize one of his dreams.
He wanted to build new residential areas, hospitals, theaters, civic squares, and finally a comprehensive, large-scale university in Nasir Town!
