Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 412 Lothur’s Strategy

While observing the surroundings of Lothur's estate, the observers sent by the enemy families of this young man in the province were trying to understand the situation.

They could even see what was happening inside Lothur's estate at this very moment. But nobody there was able to hear the conversations in that place.

They were 2nd stage cultivators, people strong enough to ignore most of the Iron-grade formations and poisons on that estate. That is, due to the number of these items there, it would not be easy for them to break in, but they could observe the area easily.

However, listening was something that was beyond their capabilities. That was because, for them to hear what was being discussed inside the Ritter estate, the sound waves there would have to reach them. But because Lothur had made sound shuffling formations, such things did not leave his property.

As a result, even though they were one level above Iron-grade formations, these Spiritual Warriors could not hear anything Lothur was talking to anyone in that place!

Precisely because of this, this silver-haired young man did not bother to show off his kart to his guests in the leisure area of his estate.

There, after he finished receiving all his visitors, Lothur put aside his watchers and showed everyone the kart he had in his spatial ring.

He stopped it next to the swimming pool on his property, where there was room for him to drive, going back and forth with this 'miniature.'

When he presented his vehicle, the observers sent by his enemy families were curious. Still, they had no way to answer any of their questions just from what they saw.

Meanwhile, Lothur's associates who wanted to try out such a vehicle asked him their questions as he again explained how to use the kart.

Only this time, instead of using himself to demonstrate how this item works, he used his wife, giving Viktoria a chance to have some fun with it.

Viktoria, as well as the other women of Lothur, were not happy to be forced to test the kart in this place instead of the horse racing track of the previous day. But since they all understood the current situation, none of them complained.

So Viktoria tried to enjoy the experience of being in control of her vehicle, demonstrating to those people new to this device how to use it.

As for Elke and Annaliese, the two eventually tested the kart just before the Koch and Teusen patriarchs had their own time, as well as Hilda, the Becker and Frost elders.

Since there was no great space on that Lothur estate, the amount of time each person had to test the kart was small. Nevertheless, in less than 40 minutes, everyone there, including Johann, got a taste of what it would be like to drive a car.

"Amazing!" Johann said as he left that little creation of Lothur while all the elders in the surrounding area had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

That was particularly true for the Teusen patriarch, who had come to this place thinking that his wife had fallen for a scam.

'It really works!' He thought to himself, seeing the possible implications of such a 'car' and the Ritter Motor Company.

'Damn it!

'I should have come! If I had been in Monika's place, we wouldn't have been left with only 3%!' He lamented in his heart that his family could have had something more relevant than what they got yesterday.

To Valentin, the Ritter Motor Company was a success case even before it was developed. Thus, it would only be a matter of time before this company would 'explode' in sales and give incredible returns to its shareholders.

Therefore, it would have been much more interesting for him and his family if they had gotten more at yesterday's auction.

That was also the thinking of the Koch patriarch!

'That 'car' is something revolutionary.' This man thought while Anneke was commenting to the Young Miss Koch about how much fun it was to drive a kart.

'This here will surpass the carriages of our world. So it won't be long before only 'cars' will be seen on all the streets of Concordia's cities!'

'At the same time, only the Ritter Motor Company has the project to develop the 'car,' which may take years or decades to be studied by other powers on the continent...'

'In other words, we have a big competitive advantage against anyone in that sector!' That man smiled, feeling that while 7% was not bad, it was not as good as the 10% of the Morning Star Academy.

"Lothur, your project is excellent, and your company will definitely be a success case. But tell me, will you sell more slices of Ritter Motor Company in the future?" An elder from House Becker asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

As the people there stopped talking, Lothur answered. "Yes, I intend to diminish my position in the future, but I will do that only when the Ritter Motor Company has already dominated at least the empire."

"And even if I don't remain the company's controller, I intend to keep my veto powers in case my partners decide something that harms the company itself..." He commented.

That is what someone in his position should be looking for. Start a company, raise capital with an initial offering, and then use the future appreciation to make even more profit by selling more slices of one's own position. And, of course, retained the privilege of vetoing measures approved by the board of shareholders, even when they were no longer the controller.

Lothur was no fool and did not want his life to be all about his creations. So he would not be the controller of his companies forever. He would do this only in the beginning, before the different players in the market well evaluated these companies. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Then, he gave this extremely positive news to these people who, more than anything, wanted to have a little more of the Ritter Motor Company's shares.

"Hehehe, I understand. That's natural..." Patriarch Koch said, already beginning to plan what to do for his family to be the one that would eventually have a more relevant position within that company.

Then patriarch Teusen asked. "When will we make the initial investment you quoted?"

"In the next few days. I will start seeing with other company shareholders how much we will need at that moment. Then, I will send the proposal to your respective organizations when we have the approximate number." Lothur said.

None of them questioned the fact that they still had to put more of their coins into this project, even after giving millions of silver coins to Lothur. These people knew the potential of this project and were grateful that this young man wanted to work with them.

Lothur could have benefited so far, but he could have done well even if he had only acted with one power or another. That is, he would not have needed to make an auction of his company to so many different powers.

But he had done so, which had created relevant opportunities for each of the families involved in that auction. In this way, there was indeed a sense of gratitude for those people towards Lothur!

With this, each of the representatives of the local families there was more interested in the welfare of the silver-haired young man, already more or less beginning to see themselves as dependent on each other.

If Lothur fell, they might not fall. But they would definitely lose a chance for growth that might never return!
