Despite the substantial initial investment made by the Stubbers, the hidden returns were equally significant. Although Concordia was located remotely, it was situated by the sea and offered abundant local specialties and seafood.
The only thing lacking was an opportunity for promotion to the outside world.
Isambard, despite his vanity, had enough foresight to know that once Concordia developed, the initial investment would be insignificant. As the person in charge of the venue, favonovel.com naturally joined the business alliance, which further facilitated the progress of his family.
After a casual conversation, favonovel.com excused himself to check on the preparations for the banquet and the establishment ceremony.
Not long after Matthew had arrived at the guest lounge, other members of the business alliance also arrived one after another. However, before the banquet started, there were still some unallocated profits that needed to be dealt with.
Thanks to the collaboration in suppressing the Keller Family, the relationships among the guests had become much more harmonious. They were all discussing the industries they had taken over and the profits they had earned, with wide smiles on their faces.
“Do you all find this gift satisfactory?”
As the words rang out, everyone stopped their discussions and turned their attention to Matthew.
“Young Master Larson, we have no complaints…”
“Yes, Matthew, please inform us if there are any more opportunities like this in the future.”
“Young Master Larson, if there are any other families that hold a grudge against you, let’s eliminate them together.”
In the end, it was the allure of profit that motivated everyone.
After making a fortune, many people’s moods improved significantly, and they even started joking with Matthew.
Matthew turned to Leanna. “See? They are easy to manage. As long as you can make money with them, they will worship you like a god. But once a conflict of interest arises, they can instantly turn into hungry wolves…”
Before favonovel.com could fully grasp his meaning, favonovel.com had already walked up to the crowd.
“We are businessmen, so we should remain calm and conduct our business. What’s the point of fighting and killing? Since everyone is satisfied, let’s divide the remaining unallocated Keller Family territories.”
The mention of this matter immediately made the previously smiling members become serious.
There were still two significant assets of the Keller Family that had not been divided, the Keller Group and the Keller Family’s sea territory and shipping routes. These were not easy to divide, and no one wanted to give them up.
Many arguments had arisen because of the claims on their ownership.
Matthew’s solution was simple, to divide the shares. Those who wanted to invest in the company could buy its shares, while those who wanted to develop the sea territories could invest in them. The more money one invested, the more profit they would receive.
It was fair and reasonable.
When this plan was proposed, everyone was pleased.
“Those who are interested can approach Miss Sande! to register their interest. We will handle everything at once.”
This was the advantage of the commercial union; many projects only required financial investment without needing to worry about anything else. If conflicts arose, there was a place to resolve them. Even the smaller forces or merchants with smaller assets could still receive corresponding profits.
Everyone approached Leanna with happy smiles to discuss their investments for a moment, and their quick changes in attitude gradually made favonovel.com understand what Matthew had meant.
After everyone had registered, the members’ sense of belonging to the union significantly strengthened, though some still had doubts.
“Young Master Larson, you didn’t make any profit from this operation. Isn’t this like working for us for free?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Matthew once again became the center of attention in the room.
