The establishment of the college's business faction was quickly put on the agenda, and Benjamin also asked Wallis to lead people to start working on these things. However, he never forgot what his original purpose was.
As time went by, there was finally a response from the Horli Kingdom.
"The church has ordered strict restrictions on entry and exit personnel." Anbu reported using sound transmission wood chips. "This has caused dissatisfaction among some people, but in general it is still under suppression and has not caused a big disturbance."
"Okay, you continue to investigate and report back when there is any situation."
After Benjamin finished his reply, he put away the wood chips and nodded.
In fact, even after the church strictly enforced entry and exit inspections, there were still businessmen from the Hori Kingdom sneaking out and visiting them at the academy. Money can make all the difference, and a simple restraining order will definitely not be able to control these rich people.
From another perspective, this shows that the church has not been provoked yet and is still doing things in a measured manner.
Benjamin now wanted to go over and ask the Foer family to see if there was any way they could push Grant into doing something irrational. The purpose of that group was to cause civil strife in the church, and now it seemed that a statement from the Magic Academy was not enough.
I'm afraid I'll have to give something a little drastic...
While he was thinking this secretly, a secret letter was secretly sent from the Foer family.
"Thank you very much for your statement. Thanks to you, the calm lake has stirred up waves again. At this moment, there are undercurrents in the church, and we have prepared the final trump card. As long as we release it, we will definitely break the calm on the surface. , let the son of sin fall from the clouds and fall into the endless abyss."
After reading it, Benjamin frowned.
The final trump card...
The Foer family didn't make it clear in the letter, which made him a little concerned. It is not an easy task to bring down a officially crowned pope. Although Grant has many stains, there is currently no successful precedent for this kind of thing.
What's their trump card
Out of curiosity, Benjamin wrote this question in his reply. However, he didn't hold out much hope. The Foer family would probably say nothing in order to keep it secret, which Benjamin could understand.
To be honest, he no longer has to worry about matters in the Horli Kingdom. Even if the Foer family fails, it will not have much impact on the Magic Academy. Moreover, when the whole plan reached this point, there was really nothing Benjamin could do.
But...he still couldn't help but be a little concerned.
If the Foer family really succeeds, what will become of the Kingdom of Hori? What will happen to Grant
To be fair, Benjamin had no intention of killing Grant. Perhaps what he hoped for more was an ending like "abandoning martial arts" and "kneeling before his parents' graves to repent" as written in those martial arts novels.
But if the Foer family united with Horry's opposition to bring him down, Grant's fate would definitely not be so good. Even if he died, it would be considered easy.
He even thought that it was possible that the Foer family would take power, then turn their backs and become the big BOSS that dominated the church. Reversals have happened so many times, and Benjamin dare not underestimate the seemingly low-key and harmless forces on each side.
The seemingly calm water may become choppy even if a pebble is thrown into it.
Better wait...
Benjamin sighed, burned the secret message, and continued his college work as usual. They also have secret spies in the Horli Kingdom, so they can know about what is going on.
Therefore, he and Wallis also invested in the formation of the academy's business faction.
The project has only just begun, and a total of twenty-one businessmen have joined. Countries all over the world have also heard about this incident, but they are basically still waiting and watching. Benjamin has maintained a relatively good relationship with those large merchants, so they have not come to cause trouble because of competition.
Of course, the current real view of those big merchants is that they probably don’t regard the Magic Academy as a business competitor, and they don’t think that the academy’s business faction will pose any threat, so they haven’t taken any action at all.
"Every industry has its own rules. Ask a bunch of unscrupulous guys to work for them, call it 'joining', and think they can take the cake away from us? Why not open his school properly?" So as not to lose all the money."
This is a private evaluation of the academic business school from a certain big businessman that the ANBU inquired about.
Benjamin laughed.
Regardless of whether the evaluation is true or false, it also shows how unfavorable the outside world is to Benjamin's actions. In this world, direct-operated chain stores are relatively common, but franchise chains have not yet appeared. Everyone thinks that the store they open should have their own brand, and hanging someone else's brand means working for someone else.
Obviously, the world has not experienced the advertising baptism of "Join XXX, be your own boss, and make a lot of money successfully", and it does not understand that the franchise chain can bring many times more influence than a direct chain.
At least for now, businessmen who have joined the academic business faction have spread all over the world, and are involved in several major cities in various countries. They will use their respective connections and capital to open branches of the academic business school in various places, without even having to worry about the academy. And if Benjamin is asked to open branches one by one, he simply doesn’t know in what year he will open them.
After each branch is opened, the profits and losses are the responsibility of the store owners. Benjamin only needs to be responsible for the supply and occasionally provide some technical help.
In this way, Benjamin was busy with this matter, negotiating the franchise agreement, doing publicity in various places, helping to build a store with a unified style, and finally paying attention to the developments in Horli Kingdom, which can be regarded as life. Quite fulfilling.
However, what he didn't expect was that after a while, the Foer family actually wrote back and told them their " trump card ".
"When Your Excellency was slandered as Grant, do you still remember the young man who was tied to the stake with you? He was a young man we found on the farm in the territory. Both of his parents were dead. He could hardly work when he was a child. He relied on Only with the support of the Foer family can he grow up smoothly. Therefore, he was willing to sacrifice himself and take on the important task of killing the son of crime, and finally reported the crimes Grant and him had committed."
"Although he unfortunately died in the flames at the time, Grant was not successfully eradicated. However, only us in the Foer family know that there is actually a younger brother who looks quite similar to him and is equally loyal to us. "
