a new day.
Zach temporarily put down the two newspapers in his hand and picked up the "Traditional Funeral Cooperation Agreement" that had begun to take effect as a legal contract. Louise was busy until the evening when she came back yesterday. I didn’t watch it yesterday, but I will watch it today.
There were four copies, and each of the three funeral homes kept one copy. The extra copy was taken by Allen and Ford as materials to stop the municipal government's unfair competition review.
It’s not much different from the one Zach saw yesterday. It’s just that after Grande joined the discussion, they limited the number of times traditional funerals can be outsourced. Not to mention the complexity, the simple description is that Ford and Allen can’t really outsource Grande. Germany's cemetery can be used as its own resources. There is a limit to the number of traditional funerals they can subcontract to Grande each year. If the number exceeds, additional fees will be charged.
Louise also explained the reason to Zach, "It's good for everyone. This means that the traditional funerals that Ford and Allen are willing to undertake must be at least above a certain standard. A cheap funeral is not as good as a hassle-free cremation. Gao For standard funerals, Ford and Allen's profits can be guaranteed, and our Grande is still a place where ordinary people choose traditional funerals. Our special place is still there."
It doesn't matter what happens to Zack. What can be imagined is that Ford should be happiest with this restriction. Because Ford is in the North District, there are many people who can perform high-standard funerals. On the other hand, Allen and Grande are both in the South District. Zach doesn't think anyone would have the foresight to go to Allen Funeral Home instead of coming directly to Grande.
After all, according to ordinary people's way of thinking, the price of the first-hand transfer must be inflated. Going directly to the source of Grande will be cheaper than going through Allen Funeral Home. Of course, this is just a general idea. The profits have been distributed in the "Cooperation Agreement", and there is no need to contact the customer. Grande only provides finished products, such as coffins and dug graves, and has spent time and energy with customers. Allen Funeral Homes who discuss the details of the funeral will receive their fair share of the profits. And due to the improved working time efficiency caused by division of labor and the spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation, the price is even lower.
Unless Allen is hyping up these terms, but then again, to whom? The farmers in the Southern District
"Alan seems to be very confident." Louise put a blanket around her body. This was to avoid the embarrassment when Old Hank came back with the newspaper and saw it. Now you know why Zach only read the contract now, right? Yesterday No effort, "If he doesn't have any objections, I won't have any objections."
Zach thought about it for a moment, but didn't think of anything. He waved his hands and didn't bother to think about it. Allen could do whatever he wanted.
Collected the documents and looked at the two newspapers.
One was brought back by Old Hank, Patton Daily. The other was Newton's newspaper. During the brief chaotic moment between night and day, an ugly 'vicious dog' picked it up and placed it at the door of Grande. When Danny reminded the attention of the aliens in Grande, everyone also witnessed a magical scene of vicious dogs coming from all directions to attack the newspaper delivery dog. Well, hellhounds from different regions fight. Fortunately, this magic did not last long, the moment of time alternation was very short, and everything returned to calm soon.
Zach looked at Newton's newspaper first. Mike's handwriting, 'Thought you might want to read it', had marked the title on the introduction with a marker.
Mike is in Newton, dealing with angels' unwanted souls, remember. On the other hand, Mike's skill in coordinating Cerberus really needs more practice...
The title was quite sensational, "Carnival Hell, No Survivors".
The people of Newton are really pitiful. Not only is the city government neglected, but now they have to face a murderer who the media calls a 'crowd buster'.
Zach looked at it with his head tilted. Eli Toledo really didn't waste time. He spent only two nights in Newton, three nightclubs, a family dinner, and a baptism ceremony in the Holy Lord faith...
"Baptism ceremony?" Louise leaned next to Zach, "Well, the angel must be really angry."
"I can only be angry." Zach shrugged, "Angels pose no threat to vampires."
"I hope Yuehua Baiying and the others will at least notify the angels about this in advance."
Zach smiled. There was no point in informing. The angels could do nothing but watch the souls that were about to enter the belief system and become consumables for Iletorido's quick followers.
I haven't forgotten what I discussed with Bumi before at the Heritage Farm. Why does Eli Toredo like to 'eat' in such occasions where a large number of people gather? Don't waste it, food is not just food, it can also be transformed into a vampire, allowing your subordinates to practice their ability to control blood through gluttony, which is the opposite of the 'hunger training method'.
"No matter what happened in Newton, it will only be worse in Barton." Zach frowned, "I should remind Anthony."
"Do you think Anthony himself doesn't read Newton's newspaper?" Louise shook her head with a resentful expression, "You will only make him vent on you." Louise is really a good woman, thinking about Zach, "You weren't very happy about your conversation last time (Ian's relationship), so let's forget it."
Zach nodded helplessly. Continue reading the newspaper.
There is nothing to read in other news in Newton. The position of mayor is still waiting for the appointment from the state government. The chaos in the city makes the media not sure who to question the anger in the text. No matter there are people dead, traffic jams, or factory strikes, the conclusion is actually to encourage everyone to go out less recently...
After seeing his poor, miserable, and miserable neighbors, Zach picked up the Patton Journal. It is unimaginable that the front page of the homepage is actually "Paisin Carnival, the entertainment banquet that Barton has been waiting for".
Zach and Louise looked at each other, curled their lips together, and opened the book.
Then Zach knew why Fitz's game competition turned into an entertainment feast. The Patton family joined, Quinn joined, and Smith joined. Quinn borrowed the site of the original Hermann Factory that Smith bought to create an Indian cultural exhibition, and the Hermann Factory happened to be an important economic center in Patton's short history. The pillar is named after the Barton family and has a Barton history exhibition.
Two points for easy understanding. First, Mrs. Quinn is already obsessed with Indian traditional culture. Second, Mrs. Quinn said, 'I should meet that Mrs. Paisley~'. Remember, she said this to Mrs. Barton during the afternoon tea when Mrs. Quinn strongly recommended Dragon Beard Cake.
Can everyone find a better, on-the-table opportunity to bring Mrs. Quinn and Sibella officially together? No more. That's it, Sibella, the wizard, was officially introduced into the circle of West Enders, and Mrs. Quinn took advantage of this perfect opportunity.
Fitz was so excited that he really became taller. Fitz should be grateful to Alice and Maya who brought the flyers to Repto for thinking that this is how the news spread.
These people are so efficient.
Another one with high efficiency is Quest. The big Q in the North District is finally opening, and it will be together with the carnival. It's quite good, after all, it's also in Paisley, so the location is convenient.
But for Quest, the timing was not good... Zach raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone. Although it was still early, Zach didn't care. It would be better to disturb someone. Haha, bad taste.
He was picked up unexpectedly, "Hello!" James' irritable voice.
Zach raised his eyebrows and glanced at Louise, "In a bad mood?"
"what's up!!"
Zach didn't give up on his bad taste and tried hard to collect the background sounds in the receiver. At the same time, "Did I disturb something? I heard that you and Kate are living together. Haha, young people, you should also pay attention to your health~"
"*! What did Louise tell you?! What else did she say to you?!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, looked at Louise with some confusion, and said to the receiver, "No, Sam told me. He said he saw Kate at your place when he went to deliver the equipment to you."
Well, it looks like Louise didn't come back to talk to Zach after she said all that 'security' stuff to James. It's right to think about it, that was advice to James. If he was sincere, he wouldn't say anything to Zach. Now Louise is sincere enough, James, hey, he doesn't appreciate it and just sells it. Pig teammates.
Louise was speechless and rolled her eyes, waved her hands, and gave a look that didn't bother to explain.
Zach understood and stopped asking, "Congratulations." Ending his naughty topic, "Have you seen today's newspaper?"
"I saw it!!" The inexplicable anger came from someone who seemed to be shouting into the receiver seriously, "Community Correction?! Ex-convicts live in Grande?! What are you thinking!!"
"Oh." Zach turned the newspaper back to the front page. Under the carnival on the front page, there was this introduction, "Grand cooperates with the city government to comprehensively cooperate in social improvement projects." No need to read the content of the article, we all know what it is. Speaking of which, this is why Old Hank was in a happy mood today and asked Zach to read the newspaper first, "You saw it. But that's not what I want to say, it's Quess..."
"what's on your mind?!!"
Zach likes to be interrupted? No, "As a citizen with some resources, I contribute to the harmony of society. This topic ends here. I want to ask you about Quest's case..." Whether the timing of the opening of Big Q is 'proper' depends entirely on The stockpile 'shenanigans' that bothered Quest have stopped, haven't they.
Still interrupted.
"Contribution?! Are you making a contribution?! By letting a group of people who have already done destructive acts to society live in..." Well, James' description is very accurate, "Grand?! You !!The most destructive place for society!!”
It was so accurate that it took Zach two seconds to marvel, and then, "Who am I talking to? James Lance, or reporter Kate." Ha! Isn't it, Kate's style. It's not James to be precise, it's Kate.
It must have hit home. The breathing on the other side of the receiver became rapid, and then he said angrily, "What are you thinking?!" People are not like this. When they are forced into a corner, they will only repeat themselves.
Zach understood, however, that his phone call had really disturbed something, but it was not something that could satisfy his bad taste, but something like Louise's Anthony, who gave him an object to vent on.
Zach thought for a moment and spoke, "Even if I explain it to you, you can't explain it to Kate, she won't understand."
After taking a deep breath, he said gloomily, "Try!"
"For Hank, for Grande's future, for Anthony. And, this is Aisela's plan, we can regard this as Aisela's true giving up."
"*!" The swear word was because Zach was right. Even if James got Zach's explanation, he couldn't get the understanding from Kate who really made him feel bad.
"Okay, this topic is over. You don't want me to get involved in your feelings, but if you continue to drag me in, haha, I can already hear Kate's questioning in the background." Zach shook his head while holding the receiver. "You don't want me to flirt with something." Ah~ This is a bit old. It happened when James warned Zach not to get close to Georgina. "Flirt" was the word James used at that time. .
What deserves our attention is that Louise shook her head sadly. Shouldn't it be, Louise said to James, because of James, Kate lost her true sense of security from Zach. What Zach said about not getting involved at this time is proof of this sad fact. So sorry.
Zach continued, "Has Quest's case been solved? It seems that he will officially open the day after tomorrow (Saturday) during the carnival. I guess his warehouse will not be buried with ashes anymore."
This call is just for confirmation.
After breathing deeply for a long time, James forcibly changed his mood. The conversion was not too thorough, "I confirmed with Fiona." Didn't Zach ask him to find it? Fiona, as an insider like Mrs. Quinn, could coordinate Fisher, "Fisher has given up. People trade, hey, that means no more 'special cargo' will appear in Fisher's ship, no more 'goods' will disappear, no more funeral industry inventory will be stolen, just There will no longer be ashes in the Big Q warehouse..."
"So fast." Zach nodded, a little amazed at Fiona's ability to control Fisher, "Fiona's efficiency is quite high."
"Tsk! It's not her efficiency! It's the efficiency of all the West Side people! They are ready! All the needs... *!" The foul language appeared again, referring to something that James really hates, "*! All of them The things that need to be blamed on Liszt have been prepared! No need to hold back Liszt's hope, let Fisher transport the 'goods'!! Everything is already in place!! And you! You! You are already here The people from the West End have arranged all the netting! As soon as things come to an end! All they have to do is close it!"
Make a network? This description is quite new. But yes, Quinn and Barton have Mrs. Quinn, Smith has Rimmer, Stone has Mayor Anthony, Fisher and Falcon now have Fiona, and Zach did intentionally or unintentionally make the West Enders become A network connected by nodes.
It was James who said this, asking Zach, "I read yesterday's newspaper. Lister was still trying to make something happen with the death of his assistant, but it was Mrs. Quinn who made the news (Nate's father), haha, don't say it." Now, you should go with Darcy, um..." Zach was thinking of something to say to make James feel better, "Aren't you going to continue to put pressure on you and Coulson
"Don't ask about things you already know!" Annoyed, "It's already obvious! Quinn and Smith at the asylum have already discovered Nate's affairs first! You have discovered 'Colt' again at this time! What else can you do? What pressure are you putting on me?! Liszt’s plan has been abandoned by Darcy!”
Therefore, Liszt was completely barking without realizing his situation.
Zach had confirmed everything that needed to be confirmed, "Then, I won't bother you anymore." and hung up.
Today's start is just a good start. (..)
