GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2075: Diversifying Interests.
These reasons are why only banks supported by gods can compete in the industry at all. But all they can do is compete. They can't match banks established by the church of wealth at all.
Just the ability of the priests of wealth to identify counterfeit money and judge the value of people when giving out loans is enough for the church of wealth to remain dominant in the industry.
If he can invent a communication system that rivals communicating with altars or is even better than it and have a business partner in the banking industry who relies on this technology, this partner will be able to compete with other banks supported by gods.
Of course, this bank will only be able to compete. It won't be able to dominate the market at all. That is good enough for him. And if he remains as the hidden partner, he will be able to reap the rewards in secret and avoid the attacks of all the enemies that this new communication system will create.
He has other industries in mind. He can venture into the textile and fashion industry. All he needs are better machines to process cotton and to weave fibers into fabric. With this, he will be able to dominate the industry.
He also has his eye on the food processing and restaurants. He is sure to dominate in this industry with new and improved packaged snacks and recipes from the future.
There are also the aerospace and automobile industries. He can venture into mining and manufacturing and even help computers transform from being concepts to being a reality.

There are so many fields he can dabble in. All he needs is a good partner.
With money, he can go into business himself, but he doesn't want to do that because it will take too much of his time running these businesses, and it will bring too much danger to his life, making enemies in every field.
The only thing he is willing to do himself is art and music. He can dabble in painting, sculpting, writing plays, writing music, and writing stories.
These won't require much money for him to start, and he is unlikely to create enemies that will want to kill him because of them. If anything, they will make him a lot of friends.
He thought about these things as he went to get a new place to live.
He has returned the 30 silver coins that he borrowed. The person he borrowed it from was not happy to receive it so soon because he didn't have to add interest to it.
He gave the man an extra 2 silver coins. That was to appease the man and to make the man help him look for houses.
Housing is a serious matter in this world. Frankly, anyone can build a settlement and a house anywhere. But without a spirit spring, a settlement will never thrive.
A medium-sized spirit spring is the minimum requirement for a settlement to become a town. If a spirit spring is small, it can't cater to the population of tens of thousands that live in the town.
The closer a house is to the spirit spring, the hotter the temperature will be and the brighter the day will be. If a house is at the edge of the town, it goes without a doubt that it will be the first to be attacked in case of a monster attack on the town.
There are a lot of monster attacks every year, so houses at the edge of the town are dangerous places to live in. This makes them cheap to rent and buy.
All in all, the distance between a house and the spirit spring is the major determinant of its value. The distance of a house from the core of the town represents safety and comfort.
Of course, there are other factors that influence the value of a house, such as the size of the house, the quality of materials used to build it, and the willingness of the owner to sell or rent it. These factors further complicate the matter of finding a suitable place to live.
There is only one thing he can be sure about regarding the value of houses in the town, and that is that the most valuable house in the town belongs to the Ivory noble family.
This house is at the center of the town, right on top of the spirit spring. It is at the apex in terms of location, size, and quality of materials used to build it.
Most importantly, whoever controls the house will control the access to the spirit spring and will therefore own the whole town. This is the main reason why their house is the most valuable.
He didn't want to go about asking for a vacancy, so he asked the lender for help. The man received the two silver coins and happily helped him to look for a place to stay.
They didn't go around town searching for a place. He simply told the man what he wanted, and the man took him to places that suited his taste.
The most important requirement he wanted was for the house to have a heating system. As long as he could fight off the cold, he doesn't mind much about the rest of his situation.
His budget was 10 good coins. He didn't care about its location as long as it wasn't at the edge of the town.
He was able to get a small house with four big rooms. It was in a small gated compound and had a heating system.
The place was just right for him. It also had a large basement, so he bought it immediately.
The house was too small for that money. He also saw a two-story house for that price.
The reason why it was expensive was that it was closer to the center of the town. The two-story house was the opposite. It was closer to the edge of the town.
