American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 36
Peter's question made Eric hesitate for a few seconds, and he first looked at his daughter Diane, who nodded slightly to indicate that Peter and Gwen were trustworthy.
Even so, Eric weighed in his mind for a few seconds before deciding to give the information he had and his decision in its entirety.
"He approached me for a couple of conversations when I was under house arrest by Fisk, and he made a deal at that time."
As soon as Eric's words were spoken, Gwen straightened her body, she looked at Eric in disbelief, and even touched her ears, wondering if she had auditory hallucinations because of Peter's call.
Diane, who had already anticipated Gwen's reaction, shook her head at her father, and then took over and explained,
"You should all be aware of the problems our family is facing.
Now that Milk has gained control within the family, although it is not strong, he has also gained the support of some core members of the family, and he has now gathered his power within the family.
Today, Milk has sold out many of his family's interests in order to consolidate his control, and has made deals or alliances with some politicians and other forces.
One of the most powerful and dangerous forces is Fisk.
So now, even if my father wants to regain control of the family, he will inevitably go to war with Milk.
If things really develop to this point, then our family will definitely be affected by this infighting, and whoever wins will be reaped by others and become a puppet of others.
This is a situation that my father and I would never want to see, and if we could, we would prefer to be able to minimize the harm. Listening to Diane's
explanation, Gwen's tense body gradually relaxed, but she could still see that she still had some dissatisfaction in her heart, and making a deal with criminals seemed to her to be no different from conniving at crime, and what was worse was that she now realized that Diane's family was also a member of the underground world.
Although they have only been together for a few days, Diane has a good impression of this ghost spider who talks a lot and has a poisonous mouth, but is very kind at heart.
So even though she knew that Gwen would definitely not help herself in this operation, she still tried her best to explain why she made this choice.
"Milk's success in seizing control of our family, except for the fact that no one expected his betrayal, mainly relied on Fisker to provide him with help.
If we can get Fisk to stop, then Milk will lose his biggest reliance, which is the threat of force, and his existing manpower will not be enough to suppress the opponents in the family.
At that time, Milk, who has no legitimate status and no reason to be in power, will automatically be out of the game, and we will not even need to make a move. Peter
didn't care much about who Diane traded with, Peter didn't have a mental purity in this regard, as long as the method was effective and didn't break through certain bottom lines, then Peter could accept it, so he directly asked what he cared about most.
"So what's the deal?"
Diane glanced at her father, but found that Eric was nodding to indicate that he would continue, so he continued:
"Fisk hopes that our family will use its energy in politics to persuade some councillors for him to adopt several of his plans.
In return, he would not only give up his support for Milk, but would also allow us to participate in his business.
After that, she specially said to Gwen:
"These businesses are all legal, although they will use some less visible means but they are still within the legal range, which is the best part of our family."
Then she took out her mobile phone again, searched for some information and put it directly on the desktop. I saw that the
phone screen showed an explanatory document of the bill, and the top title was the Fallow Protection Plan (CRP).
The plan was for the government to pay landowners not to farm, in order to protect land erosion, improve water quality, and protect animals, but Peter from the 'future' understood that this was really just to prevent local farmers from diluting the entire market.
Diane continued:
"Fisk wants to acquire a lot of land, partly in Hell's Kitchen and partly in the suburbs.
He intends to work with us to set up a fund for land acquisition, first apply for conservation easements to the purchased suburban land, reduce the real estate tax by two-thirds, and then go to the Department of Agriculture to include the land in the Fallow Protection Program through our operation.
We can use this program to collect government subsidies that only take seven years to offset the cost of land.
This operation stunned both Peter and Gwen, although Peter experienced the baptism of capital in later generations, he did not expect that there was such a means of local owners lying down and earning money.
And that's not all, Diane pointed to the plan and continued: "Fisker and we will invest 100 million dollars to buy land, and
then use subsidies to buy more land, we can buy 50,000 mu a year without spending a penny, and we can achieve profitability in two years, and the annual net income is about 46 million, and this money will be divided equally with Fisker."
But we can't meddle with the contracting and renovation of Hell's Kitchen.
Peter Muran counted the value of 46 million US dollars converted into RMB, but found that his head really did not have this calculation function, but he compared the three million US dollars that he had worked hard to earn and couldn't help but sigh that Marx did not deceive me.
And Gwen also appeared in circles, and this huge amount of money brought her a lot of capital shock.
Diane, on the other hand, said without pain: "Although this income is
indeed quite a lot, enough to account for seven percent of our family's annual net income in the United States, the most important thing in this deal is that he no longer supports Milk, as long as this deal passes, then we can easily regain control of the family."
If it were usually Gwen would have begun to complain about Diane's Versailles behavior, but Diane's now too flat tone and expression all showed that this was Diane's truest thought, and Gwen was shocked by a round of capital again.
And Peter was completely numb, if it weren't for Diane's father next to him, he couldn't help but want to hug Diane's thigh now and shout, "Rich woman!" Hungry! Rice! ".
But fortunately, Peter also experienced a lot of winds and waves, and he tried to maintain a normal tone, and asked softly:
"Then what do you need me for?" Judging from the content of your transactions, it seems that there is no need for me.
Diane nodded.
"If the deal goes through, you really don't need to be involved, but we need to be prepared for the deal to fail.
So I need the stealth you showed before, sneak into our family's house to find Milk, and if our deal fails, then we need you to control him in time.
Then Diane added with some helplessness:
"But one thing must be noted, you can only control Milk, but try not to hurt him, let alone kill him..."
Even so, Eric weighed in his mind for a few seconds before deciding to give the information he had and his decision in its entirety.
"He approached me for a couple of conversations when I was under house arrest by Fisk, and he made a deal at that time."
