You

My name is Carl. I'm the landlord of this building.

I respectfully thank you for taking in more tenants!

I am Leo Gvizdek. I will be here for a few days attending to an important matter.

You

What brought you to Helmer?

Reply

I feel fortunate for the first time in my long, difficult life.

I won the labor lottery, and have come to the award ceremony.

TALK ABOUT THE LOTTERY

How will you spend your winnings?

I have a difficult dilemma. My sister's house burned down recently. She and her family live close to the frontline. I want to move them here.

But I have no family. My co-workers are my family.

I'm also going to buy new work shoes! And a case for my tools!

I'm buying gifts for my nieces and nephews. I found a shop where you can buy honey cockerels and cranberries with sugar.

You

Great deal! I love cranberries, too. Remember: you can buy only two packs at a time.

Reply

Two packs? Then I'll make a few trips. There are so many barges loaded down with coal. Isn't that amazing?

Do you want something?

I need your help, Carl.

I have to go to the administrative offices tomorrow. There's going to be an award ceremony.

I'm simple man; I work at a factory. I've never owned a suit.

I bought a two-piece suit at the funeral shop, but there were no ties. The department store is also out of ties.

Could you help me to find a tie? Everyone will be OK. I just can't go shopping.

You

I'll try to think of something.

Reply

I know you'll be a big help! I'll pay you.

I've found a green tie for you. Do you like it?

Definitely! Thank you, Carl!

I hope $300 will cover your expenses.

I found a blue tie for you. Is it OK?

That was just what I needed! Thank you, Carl!

Will you really take any tie?

Only if it's clean.

I need your advice, Carl.

I'm confused. I got my money today... But I'm not sure I can manage it properly.

Give me some advice, Carl! How should I spend my money?

INVEST IN FRUIT AND BERRY FARM DEVELOPMENT
You

I've heard that because of the ban on imported apples, Paradise Gardens plans to grow a new kind of domestic apple!

Reply

Do you think this is a good idea?

You

Sure! The future belongs to domestic apples! They'll make us famous someday!

Well, if you think so...

INVEST IN CATTLE DEVELOPMENT
You

You already know that we have problems with food in our country. I'm sure an investment in this will be highly profitable.

Moreover, Horns and Hoofs plans to implement a waste-free production process. So, the meat will be sold and the rest will be jellied.

Reply

In jellied meat?

You

Yes, they want to make jellied meat our national dish.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

INVEST IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
You

I'll recommend an option that's risky but very profitable: invest your money in foreign currency.

All factors are showing that there will be a major default, and the exchange rate will rise.

Reply

Really? Right after the award ceremony, a few guys asked me to exchange it. They gave me their contact information. I need to get in touch with them.

I'm sure you won't be sorry. In this case, I believe the risk will be worth it.

Don't be in a hurry to take a big risk!

INVEST IN THE SAVINGS BANK
You

The safest investment is a savings bank! There are a lot of frauds out there...

Reply

Frauds? I didn't even think about that! I'm an honest citizen. I've faithfully and loyally worked at the factory for more than 20 years!

But I think you're right, Carl! I'll keep some of the money for necessities and deposit the rest.

HELP THE RELATIVES

You should help your relatives. What could be more important?

Just I wanted. I thought if I could multiply my money, I'd be able to help more people.

That's a hard decision. You might be right.

ASK ABOUT THE CITY
Depends on earlier choices
You

What do you think about our city?

Reply

I do like it - very much! There are so many factories!

It's been said that Helmer is a city of pipes.

I took a tour of the machine tool manufactory today. You could teach us a lot!

You

Do you really believe the pipes in the factory are OK?

Reply

Sure! It's smoking, so the factory is operational! That means people are working, the country will get rich, and life will improve!
