As for Alphonse, he first held the shares for the Louvre Museum for 500,000 livres. Although it was not his money that was invested, as long as the Investors Chamber of Commerce did not collapse, the shares would always be his. You

The Louvre can divest, but I will only return the money and not the shares! Secondly, the serial investment and liabilities have caused the assets to expand abnormally. The entire related assets have been expanded to more than 2 million livres, but there are already 500,000 livres of capital liabilities.

, there are also technical assets for cashing out funds, and there are also overdrafts such as annual salary shares for the future. In fact, half of them are liabilities...

However, all capital operations are always inseparable from the process of first taking on debt and then recycling to obtain income to compensate for the debt. In particular, the biggest advantage of taking on debt is that it can eliminate a large part of the profit. For example, the total income of the General Chamber of Commerce, except for the artillery workshop,

At the beginning, other related chambers of commerce were in a state of negative equity. They made money and paid off debts to fill the shortfall; then they made money again, expanded their scale and then took on debt. As long as the Louvre dared not to interfere, Alphonse dared to let all chambers of commerce except the Artillery Workshop

Loss of dozens or even hundreds of years! Even Alphonse felt that as long as he was bolder, he could use the profits of the artillery workshop to advance the deficit, forcing the Louvre to withdraw its investment or directly acquire the artillery workshop and go out!

Alphonse finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he sorted out the information and locked it in the cabinet, then went back to his room and slept in darkness...

An walked into the hotel with elegant steps. Since she planned to go shopping with Julia today, she naturally changed into a less cumbersome skirt without too many decorations. She just wore the brooch that Alphonse gave her last night.

Pin it to the collar.

Riet de Vigeri was walking downstairs from the hotel with his leather bag and suitcase. Suddenly he saw Ann walking into the hotel. He turned around and walked back. Ann didn't recognize him, but he did.

He recognizes An. He has been staying in Calais for the past few days to inquire about news. Naturally, he has also seen Alphonse traveling with An in the car. Although he did not know that there was Julia staying in the same hotel with him, but yesterday morning he

I went to camp near Alphonse's house and met Benjamin Hawkins who came to visit me. I also followed their carriage out of the city to the suburbs. Although I later gave up after realizing that if I continued to follow, I would be discovered, I still heard an obvious loud noise.

caliber artillery test firing sound, he knew that Alphonse had developed a new large-caliber artillery. This was why he packed his luggage and prepared to return to Paris today. After all, since Alphonse could develop a large-caliber artillery, then the artillery workshop

The profit margin will be very stable in the next period of time. At least in his opinion, the probability of the investment being in vain is almost zero, so he can naturally use the intelligence he has collected to suggest that Kolber invest in Alphonse.

.

Soon, he heard the sound of women's leather shoes walking on the stairs through the door, and it gradually faded away. He breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the other party didn't recognize him. Then he opened the door and looked around to make sure there was no one there.

People were watching me, so I quickly picked up my bag and luggage to pay for the room, then hurriedly got into the carriage and left!

"This man... is a man from Paris." Lieutenant de Vigery never expected that Ann really couldn't recognize him, but after seeing his strange behavior, he deliberately went up and down the stairs and came to

They kept an eye on each other in the carriage, but they didn't know that they could not recognize Riet de Vigeri, but they were recognized by the old Anda who was driving the carriage.

"Who?" An asked, stunned for a moment.

"He's from Paris. A few days ago, Alfred asked me to follow him secretly. I saw him leave with my own eyes, but I didn't expect him to turn around and come back." Old Anda replied.

"You go back and tell Alphonse right away, and then come back to pick us up. I'll go upstairs to Julia's room and keep an eye on her. You can see from the window whether she's back or not." An's face became serious, and she was indeed attracted by Louvre.

None of the people sent by the palace can save fuel!

"What, someone from Paris showed up at the hotel again today, or was it a hotel where Dutch guests stayed? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?" Alfred was almost furious when he heard Old Anda's feedback. Four days ago, Lie

When de Vigeli left, he specifically told Lao Anda to keep an eye on the other party to see if there was any possibility of fighting back. When he came back and said that the other party had gone out of town, he felt relieved. Who knew it would pop up again, or what?

Staying in a hotel with a very important Dutch guest, who knows how much of Alphonse’s secrets will be revealed?!!

"I...I didn't expect..." Old Anda also felt that he was very innocent. He had followed the other party all the way out of the city that day, so he could still run back. It was obvious that he had made plans long ago, and there was no way he could do it all day long.

Watching and guarding the city gate?

"Wait here, I'll tell the master." Alfred said angrily. Alphonse had just gone to bed not long ago. Now he would tell him such news. He wouldn't have to sleep today. It's better for old Anda.

Save yourself some trouble!

Alphonse, who was still in a daze when he suddenly heard Alfred's report, was frightened. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention sleepiness, all distracting thoughts were almost gone! But

In the same way, he thought about this matter wholeheartedly and found that it seemed not as pessimistic as he imagined!

First of all, Riet de Vigeri must have never been in contact with Julia, otherwise Julia would definitely remind him that she or Ann would go to the hotel to find her in the near future. Riet de Vigeri wanted to

Even if he leaves, he should wait until he or An enters Julia's room before leaving, instead of bumping head-to-head with An! From this point of view, Lieutenant de Vergeri knows about Julia's existence but

If there is no contact, either he does not know the other party, or Julia does not know him; and if Riet de Vigery, who is the Louvre’s secret envoy, recognizes Julia, then it is useful to contact the other party to obtain some information.

It's necessary and responsible, but he still hasn't taken any action. That must be because he doesn't know Julia and only thinks of her as Alphonse's business partner!

And then the other party is stranded in Calais. In the past few days, or since the arrival of Rieux de Vigeri, Alphonse has been in frequent contact with many partners, and it is not known that Rieux de Vigeri knows about it.

What is the impact? The only thing that can be considered confidential is probably the test firing of the artillery that I went to watch yesterday. Even so, since the test firing of the artillery was successful, it means that the mass production is faster. For Lieutenant-General

It’s a real good thing for Jerry, there’s no need for him to panic!

Of course, Alphonse couldn't be optimistic. He sat on the bed and said to Alfred: "Mr. Alfred, please send a few people to find out if there was anything unusual in Calais from last night to morning."

When something happens, of course, you have to go to the dock and ask if any new ships have arrived early in the morning and if they have brought any news from other places."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Alfred understood immediately. Alphonse's judgment of Riet de Vigeri was that it was very likely that the other party left urgently due to an unexpected incident, not

Because of Julia, this does not mean that old Anda was too derelict in his duty. After all, if Lieutenant de Vergeri insisted on inquiring about Alphonse, he could just leave anyone here, and Alphonse and the others would not be able to guard against him.

On the contrary, as what happened now, since Riet de Vergeri left on his own initiative, there is a high probability that he really left.

After Alfred left, Alphonse, who had been awakened, was no longer sleepy. He rubbed his swollen temples and got up. He washed his face casually, wore pajamas and a coat, and returned to the study.

, sitting in a chair and thinking about Riet de Vigeri again. After Riet de Vigeri left four days ago, he successively summoned Bardis and Yasuo to discuss the business plan.

A preliminary plan was made. According to the itinerary, Riet de Vigeri would be wandering outside the city that day, and would go back to Calais to stay before nightfall, but Julia had not arrived at that time.

Therefore, Riet de Vigeri should have checked into that hotel before Julia. The next day, he received Will Morty. Whether Riet de Vigeri knew this or not, but

Will Morty only knew that he had received investment from the Louvre and planned to trick the Louvre, but he did not see the specific plan. Therefore, even if Lieutenant de Vergeri had the ability to read minds, he would never do it.

Will Morty could not get any useful information from him; and the next day, Ann and Julia arrived in Calais, and held a banquet that night. Mrs. Desha also attended.

Li should have known his core partners. The next day, that is, yesterday morning, Benjamin came to visit, and then he went to the proving ground to watch the artillery test firing, and then went to the hotel to visit Julia, and then went

After a trip to the dock, I finally delivered the letter to Desai’s house and never left the house again.

Thinking of this, Alphonse suddenly felt a sense of wonder. The room rates in this hotel are very expensive. Julia's suite even costs 45 sous a day, although Riet de Vigeri may not live in such a room.

A good house price, even if it is only half the rent, is at least one livre a day. The current income of the court nobles will never exceed 2,000 livres a year, and at the level of Lieutenant de Vigery

, he should laugh if it exceeds 800 livres, so with his income, he absolutely cannot afford to stay in such a hotel! Of course, judging from the fact that Lieutenant de Vergeri often travels on business, the extra money

The income must be quite high, but on the one hand, he has to bribe the superior officials, and on the other hand, he has to subsidize the family expenses. He may also have to give some money to the family, and he has to keep a lover outside. As an envoy, he has no fresh clothes and anger.

Ma could tell. In addition, when Alfonse gave him money that day, he almost refused and followed without hesitation. Even when he left today, the leather bag he gave him was still in the other person's hand, which shows that this

A bribe can be said to be a huge income for him!

So, can we conclude that he has become a big financial backer of Riet de Vigeri? In other words, Riet de Vigeri's reaction of hiding in a hurry after just bumping into Ann was because he did not want to offend him.

What about your guilty conscience? Not wanting to offend yourself means that the other party will stand up for you. So, he is still staying in Calais, not necessarily to find his own problems, but to determine whether he is real.

He is willing to accept investment from the Louvre. After all, only if the investment is successful can he have the opportunity to continue to benefit from himself!

Then, Alphonse could suddenly guess the reason why Riet de Vigere left today, because just last night, Boko Andal said that he needed to hand over the second batch of 400 artillery pieces shipped by the Spaniards.

; If nothing goes wrong, Riet de Vigeri should have followed him from the hotel to the dock, and then found himself talking to Boko Andal. Then Boko Andal contacted the Spanish ship owner and contacted the Chamber of Commerce to go to the warehouse.
