Chapter 262 The Formation of the East Hoy Company (Part 2)

The East Hoy Company first selected a Hoy tribe called Hoffenheim, then fabricated their history within the tribe, creating a so-called Hoy royal family. Under the guise of unifying all Hoy people under the Hoffenheim Dynasty, they began their conquests throughout the eastern region of the Hoy continent.

Although the sign reads "Hoffenheim Dynasty," most people with common sense know that this Hoffenheim dynasty is actually a puppet regime supported by the East Hoffenheim Company. The purpose of the Hoffenheim dynasty is to reduce resistance from the Hoffenheim people during the conquest process by the East Hoffenheim Company.

With the support of the Kaman Empire's manpower and resources, the Hoffenheim Dynasty, supported by the East Hoffenheim Company, quickly became the overlord of the eastern region of the Hoffenheim continent. Although some independent tribes still existed locally, these lords nominally expressed their submission to the Hoffenheim Dynasty, and the East Hoffenheim Company effectively became the actual ruler of the eastern region of the Hoffenheim continent!

Although Donghuoyi Company was a corporation with a shareholders' meeting, over time, and due to the remoteness of the central government, it became increasingly independent. The power of the company gradually shifted from the shareholders' meeting to the company's senior management, and the shareholders' meeting could basically only collect dividends from its shareholders!

According to the agreement between the senior management of Donghuoyi Company and its shareholders' meeting in its home country, every four years, the senior management of Donghuoyi Company will elect a senior executive to bring Donghuoyi's accounting books back to the home country to report to the shareholders' meeting and give the shareholders 50% of Donghuoyi Company's net profit within four years as dividends. In addition to dividends, the shareholders' meeting also has the right to veto Donghuoyi Company's development plans and actions. Apart from this, the shareholders' meeting shall not interfere in any specific affairs of Donghuoyi Company!

After recalling the history of the East Høy Company, a playful smile appeared on Connor's lips. In his eyes, the East Høy Company was proof, and this proof undoubtedly proved that Emperor Raul the Great, who created the East Høy Company, was a time traveler just like him. After all, this so-called East Høy Company was too similar to the East India Company on Earth!

In the past few days, Connor has made some progress in his research on overcoming the three major hurdles of the alchemical golem, but he is still far from truly breaking through them. This will take much longer than a week. Therefore, after considering the priorities, Connor decided to temporarily put aside his research on the alchemical golem and deal with the Ferguson family's affairs first.

It's still a few days before Connor's Uncle Desilio of the Ranieri family lands in Rune, but Connor feels he needs to deal with something he should have done long ago: exchanging the Persis silver coins he got from Scarface in his spatial ring for Imperial gold pounds.

Connor had actually wanted to do this for a long time, but what troubled him was that he could only think of two ways to deal with it. The first was to go through Margaret's channels. With Margaret's extensive connections, exchanging those silver dollars for gold pounds would be no problem at all. The second was to go through his good friend George's connections. George's family business, Sanchez Bank, would make it a piece of cake for them to absorb these silver dollars.

If Connor really wanted to use either method, from the perspective of the matter itself, there would be no problem in solving the problem. However, no matter which method he chose, Connor had his own concerns. At first, Connor did not want to trouble his good friend George, after all, the Persis silver dollars in his possession were of dubious origin and might be related to Baron Surrey, just like the gold bars he gave to Margaret, which was very troublesome. Moreover, more importantly, Connor also found a huge amount of Persis silver dollars at the home of Mr. Emery, who was connected with the Secret Society.

So after a little thought, Connor decisively abandoned the idea of ​​going through George's connections. After all, going through George's connections was still very risky. Connor had a high opinion of Margaret's abilities, so he planned to use Margaret's channels to dispose of these Persis silver dollars. Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. Before Connor could even talk to Margaret about this, Margaret was targeted by the Secret Society, and the always cautious Connor was naturally forced to abandon his plan.

Thus, the Persis silver coins worth tens of thousands of Kaman Empire gold pounds in Connor's spatial ring ended up in Connor's hands. Originally, Connor didn't care much about this matter. He planned to use this money to pay off his mortgage loan to Sanchez Bank, and his mortgage contract still had several years left, so naturally he wasn't in a hurry to exchange the silver coins for gold pounds to pay off the mortgage. But now things were different. Connor felt that if he wanted to satisfy the East Hoy high-ranking officials of De Sciglio's level, one thousand gold pounds was far from enough. At least three thousand gold pounds would be needed!

The declining Ferguson family was already struggling to come up with a thousand gold pounds, let alone two thousand. Therefore, Connor naturally had to make up the difference himself. Although Connor had never considered himself a good person, he believed that since he had become Conan Ferguson, the first heir of the Ferguson family and the future Imperial Earl of the Carman Empire, and had enjoyed the benefits, he should also shoulder the obligations. Within his capabilities, Connor would never refuse to do what he could for the Ferguson family!

As an alchemist, Connor had a lot of valuable alchemy materials in his spatial ring, but very little cash. Connor was reluctant to sell these treasures, so he could only transfer the difference of two thousand gold pounds to the idle Persis gold pounds in his spatial ring!

Now that he wants to deal with these Persis silver dollars, Margaret's secret society is looking for her. Connor thinks it's already good enough that Margaret can protect herself and not get involved. Her channels are completely unusable. Does he really have to trouble George to deal with these Persis silver dollars?

A bitter smile appeared on Connor's face. He really didn't want to use George's relationship, but things had come to this point, and he might really have to give it a try. Leaning back on the sofa, Connor pondered for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he made his decision!
