Chapter 2734: Fat Profits

Recently, the transfer procedures for the assets of the Herta Family have been completed in full, but since the Rose Castle has only one Mr. Dong, and the original Herta Family’s assets were managed by their family members, several key positions have become vacant and require new appointments.

Moreover, although the Herta people have left, the complex interpersonal relationships are not easily dealt with, and matters still need to be handled by people from this zone.

After Hua Han took Xu Huo away, no one in Zone 011 dared to speak up. He only instructed the Herta Family to transfer the assets and said nothing else, so no one dared to disturb them, only waiting for a "signal" from the Rose Castle.

The castle door opening is a clear signal.

The asset transfer of Herta is no longer fresh news. Xu Huo doesn’t have many people to work with, and will certainly seek help, especially since he is the chosen one by Hua Han. Even if he doesn’t often stay in Zone 011, it wouldn’t be a loss to cultivate a good relationship with such a genius player.

Therefore, apart from Lady Lily and Roy Clements, many other nobles have come to the door.

However, they are not some formidable nobles, mostly medium-strength aristocrats like Lady Lily, whose family lacks a pillar, and smaller noble families like the Clements.

Lady Lily has become a lot more courteous than before, "I came to visit just as you returned home, I hope I’m not disturbing your rest?"

"We’re old acquaintances, no need to speak so formally." Xu Huo smiled and invited her to sit, alongside Roy and other noble representatives in the tea room.

After Roy helped with introductions, a short-haired woman proactively recommended herself, showcasing her resume, including professional certificates and achievements from previous employment.

Once she started, others also presented their advantages, such as having deep roots in certain industries with ease in operations and promising not to make mistakes, thereby bringing better profits to Xu Huo.

Or having family members who worked within the Herta Family, familiar with its internal operations, ensuring no obstacles during the asset transfer.

Or having long-term plans guaranteeing great accomplishments using the Herta assets.

Xu Huo patiently listened to everyone’s speeches and even reviewed the plans they brought, yet he didn’t show any preference, merely asking them to wait; there would be a solution within a couple of days.

After sending the majority of visitors off, Xu Huo specifically kept Lady Lily and Roy, inquiring about which part of the Herta industry they intended to take over.

Both were quite pleasantly surprised, Lady Lily relaxed a bit, playfully glancing at him, "Who wants Herta’s industry, you’re always busy with no time, and I’ve been wanting a stable earning channel, the industry is yours, I’ll contribute labor, no need for you to pay salary, just provide me with a profit share."

"I won’t take advantage of you, I guarantee profits will exceed the Herta Family, and if they don’t, I’ll compensate you."

"Your abilities are well-recognized." Xu Huo said, "Let’s proceed as you stated, and later you coordinate the contract with Mr. Dong."

Lady Lily put away the fan she used to hide her smile and said seriously, "My family has a lot of involvement in industries, with more experience in mining and transportation. Herta Family gained many benefits following Werna, though their family lacks talent, originally Kage Herta was close to Ashis, owning over twenty mines, at least half of them still have continuous ore output, and the rest can be converted into tourism sites and manufacturing plants."

"Moreover, their transportation industry was also very good, not very notable in our main subdivision but famous in several other sub-divisions."

"The transportation industry isn’t just about making money."

Mines themselves are excellent resources, providing raw materials for various props and instruments, stimulating related industries—quite a core asset.

Apart from connecting people in this zone and logistics transfers, transportation also entails foreign trade relations, serving as a significant information channel.

Roy, sitting beside, said, "These two sectors are Herta’s core and most important assets; compared to them, others are trivial."

Lady Lily reopened her fan, covering the lower half of her face with a light laugh, "How could it be, Herta’s laboratories are quite respectable, having produced some patented technologies, these patents alone can sustain so many labs, indicating substantial earnings."

Roy maintained his smile but did not relent in his speech, "I wonder if Madam represents the Tal family or the Mi Lai’er Family?"

Lady Lily’s smile faded slightly, refusing to entangle with him, instead, turning to Xu Huo, "Oh, you should make a decision; ultimately, this matter relies on your approval."

Xu Huo looked at Roy, "Are you interested in mining or transportation?"

Roy solemnly said, "Clements is just a small noble family, with a low title, fewer talented individuals even if involved in these industries, lacking the capability to handle such large operations. But if you trust me, you can delegate the transportation company of the third subdivision to me."

"The third subdivision has many foreign trade ports, Herta Family owns a berth at a port, I can extend business ventures through this berth to other subdivisions."

"Although Zone 011 is at the E27 Wormhole Point, among business visitors are those connected with Advanced Wormhole Sites."

Lady Lily secretly bit her lip, observing Xu Huo’s expression, seeing his interest, she promptly said, "The Tal family has been conducting energy trades with the Outer Zone, already a familiar business."

"I can take responsibility for Clements family; can Madam Tal take responsibility?" asked Roy.

Lady Lily is widowed, still holds the title Duchess, but the Tal family isn’t without other members. Her widespread integration and connections are more for maintaining her status; she manages relationships well, thus many people oblige her.

But true strength counts above all, lacking bright successors, Lady Lily wants to support her only brother Leyton Mi Lai’er, but unfortunately, he is merely an average player, the Duke’s reputation and maternal family’s former achievements aren’t enough for an effortless life; the Duke’s Family maintains current status due to Zone 011’s operating system, but this cannot reverse the decline, with empty titles and diminishing resources.

"They will agree." Lady Lily looked at Xu Huo, her eyes less affectionate and more serious, "For the family’s honor, they would sacrifice their lives."

Xu Huo didn’t explicitly favor either of them, instead promising to consider before giving a reply. Compared to others who visited, they had essentially secured managing rights to a portion of Herta assets, though the amount and position remained to be decided.
