No one could refuse the olive branch extended by Mrs. Maria. People such as the former patrol supervisor Thomas, the former financial director, and Bockaar's father Ruby Will all agreed to mortgage their property to claim shares. Just because they lost a lot of money due to the Merchant Marine, they reluctantly could only claim 1% or 2% of the shares. Lubiwell was considered a big businessman in White Deer Town, and now he could only claim 1% or 2% of the shares. Bet on five shares, which is the one with the largest number of shares.
But this was what Claude had expected, and everyone was having a hard time. The merchant navy not only caused these friends of my father to lose money, but even talking in Bailu Town was of no use. Losing public office is one thing, but the most important thing is that now the mayor of White Deer Town, Baron Robert, has the final say, and he sticks to his word in the town hall.
In addition, the fourth squadron of the newly established garrison brigade has become his minion, and has the support of National Congressman Sir Fox behind it. Mayor Robert even released a new tax plan in early April, adding two types of taxes. One is the market management fee, and the other is the town's security fee. The name is the daily expenses required to maintain the garrison.
These two taxes are targeted at all vendors in Bailu Town. Whether they are large trading houses or street vendors, they all need to pay these two newly added taxes. From this point of view, the mayor of the town, Baron Robert, is still clear-headed and knows that the targets to attack are still those traders, who are more profitable. Instead of asking every household in the town to pay any security fee, that would easily arouse public dissatisfaction.
Although I don’t know why Madam Maria would mortgage her Norman Forest to form some kind of real estate development company, when Butler Lutheran came to the door, everyone couldn’t help but feel happy and grateful to Claude for the introduction. Thomas, the former patrol supervisor, patted his chest and pledged all his property as a mortgage, and then subscribed for 2% of the shares.
The biggest news in White Deer Town in April was that the famous Baroness Marien of Normandy in the royal capital entrusted her butler, Mr. Lutheran, to mortgage her Normanry tree farm at the National Bank and invested 20,000 gold crowns to form a new company. Manli Real Estate Development Company. In addition to her, there are eleven shareholders in this company, all of whom are well-known local people in Bailu Town who were originally involved in the opening of new routes. They began to purchase real estate in slums under the slogan of benefiting the country.
Although I don’t know what Mrs. Maria’s calculation was, the house prices in Bailu Town suddenly increased by 30%. During this period, Mayor Robert and Sir Fox repeatedly requested to meet with Butler Lutheran, hoping to find out the truth. But Butler Lutheran always claimed that it was Mrs. Maria who was sad about the decadence of the slums, and then decided to invest in changing the appearance of her hometown.
With the assistance of former patrol supervisor Thomas and others, the property acquisition in the slums went smoothly. The old street divides the slum area into east and west areas. Lutheran Butler mainly acquires properties in the east area, which accounts for two-thirds of the entire slum area. Of course, during the acquisition, we also encounter those troublemakers from time to time.
"The reason why these people are unwilling to sell their properties is because they have no other place to live. For them, they will lose their home after selling, so they will not sell it no matter how much money they have." Uncle Thomas is still very reliable in his work. Yes, the investigation was also very detailed.
Claude nodded, this had been expected: "Since they are unwilling to sell the property for this reason, the simple solution is to give them another home. You still remember that I asked Butler Lutheran to buy it in the West End That large piece of public land? Let’s build a few rows of buildings there first, sign contracts with the residents who refuse to move, and let them move there after the buildings are built. In this way, we only need to give them a little more subsidies. The fee is enough. No matter what, we have to get the entire East District real estate in hand, so that we can carry out overall planning and build a mid-to-high-end community."
"Why don't you agree to those people and give them a room when the house here is built in the future, so that we don't need to build another building on the west side." Another person raised objections.
Claude shook his head: "The buildings we build on the public land to the west can be simpler, they just need to be strong and durable. To build the entire community here, we need supporting gardens, squares, and various shops to enhance the entire community. The effect of housing prices. If houses are built here and then distributed to the original residents, we will lose more."
Nothing is more convincing than the benefits related to one's own
