The East Hoy Company first chose a Hoy tribe called Hoffenheim, then forged their history in this Hoffenheim tribe and created a so-called Hoy Royal Family in this tribe. Then, under the name of the Hoffenheim Dynasty unifying all the Hoy people, they began to conquer the eastern part of the Hoy Continent.
Although the sign was of the Hoffenheim Dynasty, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this Hoy Dynasty was actually a puppet regime supported by the East Hoy Company. The purpose of the Hoffenheim Dynasty was to reduce the resistance of the Hoy people during the process of East Hoy Company's conquest.
With the support of the Kaman Empire's manpower and material resources, the Hoffenheim Dynasty supported by the East Hoy Company quickly became the common ruler of the eastern part of the Hoy Continent. Although there were still some independent tribes in the area, they all submitted to the Hoffenheim Dynasty in name. Therefore, the East Hoy Company became the actual ruler of the eastern part of the Hoy Continent!
Although the East Hoy Company was in the form of a company and had shareholders' meetings, as time went on, the East Hoy Company became more and more independent. The power of the company was gradually transferred from the shareholders' meeting to the senior management of the company. Basically, the only thing the shareholders could do was to get their own share of the profits!
According to the agreement between the senior management of the East Hoy Company and the shareholders' meeting in the mainland, every four years, the senior management of the East Hoy Company would select a senior management to bring the East Hoy Company's account book back to the mainland to report to the shareholders' meeting. The senior management would also give the shareholders 50% of the company's net profit within four years as dividends. In addition to the dividends, the shareholders' meeting also had the right to veto the development plans and actions of the East Hoy Company. Other than that, the shareholders' meeting could not interfere with the specific affairs of the East Hoy Company!
After recalling the history of the East Hoy Company, Connor couldn't help but smile playfully. The East Hoy Company was a piece of evidence in his eyes. And this evidence undoubtedly proved that the creator of the East Hoy Company, Lauer, was also a transmigrator like him. After all, this so-called East Hoy Company was too similar to the East India Company on Earth!
In the past few days, Connor had made some progress in his research on the three major problems of the alchemy puppet. However, he was still far from being able to break through them. It would take far more time than a week. Therefore, after considering the importance of the matter, Connor decided to temporarily put his research on the alchemy puppet and deal with the Ferguson Family first.
There were still a few days before Connor's Uncle Desilio of the Ranieri Family would land in Loen. However, Connor felt that he had to deal with something he should have done long ago. That was to exchange the Bossi silver he obtained from Scarface in his spatial ring for Imperial gold pounds.
In fact, Connor had wanted to do this for a long time, but what made him vexed was that he could only think of two ways to deal with this matter. The first was to go through Marguerite's channels. With Marguerite's vast connections, there would definitely be no problem in exchanging the silver for gold pounds. The second was to use his good friend George's connections. George's family owned the Sanchez Bank, so it would be a piece of cake for them to digest the silver in his hands.
If Connor really wanted to use these two methods, there wouldn't be any problems in resolving the matter. However, no matter which of the two methods he chose, Connor had his own concerns. In the beginning, Connor didn't want to trouble his good friend George. After all, the Bossi silver in his hands didn't come from a legitimate source. It was very likely that it was related to Baron Surrey, just like the gold bars he gave to Marguerite. More importantly, Connor also found a huge amount of Bossi silver in the house of Mr. Emory, who was related to the secret society.
Therefore, after giving it some thought, Connor decisively gave up the idea of using George's connections. After all, using George's connections was still very risky. Connor also acknowledged Marguerite's abilities, so he planned to use Marguerite's channels to get rid of the Bossi silver. Unfortunately, changes didn't happen quickly enough. Before Connor had the time to discuss this matter with Marguerite, Marguerite was targeted by the secret society. Connor, who had always been cautious, was naturally forced to give up his plan.
As a result, the Bossi silver in Connor's Space Ring, which was worth tens of thousands of Kaman Empire gold pounds, ended up in Connor's hands. Initially, Connor didn't pay much attention to this matter as he planned to use this money to pay off the mortgage he owed Sanchez Bank. His mortgage contract still had a few years left, so he naturally wasn't in a hurry to convert the silver into gold to pay off the mortgage. However, things were different now. In order to satisfy Desilio, a high-ranking official of East Hoyi, a thousand gold pounds was far from enough. He needed at least three thousand gold pounds!
It was already difficult for the declining Ferguson family to fork out a thousand gold guineas. Forking out another two thousand gold guineas was simply impossible. Therefore, Connor could only make up for the difference of two thousand gold guineas. Although Connor had always admitted that he wasn't a good person, he believed that since he had become Kangan Ferguson, the first successor of the Ferguson family and the future Earl of the Kahman Empire, he had to bear the responsibility for the benefits he enjoyed. As long as it was within his capabilities, he definitely wouldn't refuse to do something for the Ferguson family!
As an alchemist, Connor had a lot of valuable alchemy materials in his spatial ring, but he didn't have much cash. Connor wasn't willing to sell his treasures, so he could only use the two thousand gold pounds he had left in his spatial ring to pay for the Posis gold pounds he had left behind.
Now that he wanted to deal with the Bossi silver in his hands, Marguerite's secret society was looking for her. Connor felt that it was already good enough that Marguerite could protect herself and not implicate him. It was impossible for him to use her channels. Did he really have to trouble George to deal with the Bossi silver in his hands?
A bitter smile appeared on Connor's face. He really didn't want to use George's connections, but since things had come to this point, he might really have to give it a try. Leaning on the sofa, Connor pondered for a moment. His eyes flashed as he made a decision!
