"I think it's getting late, so it's time to leave. But Duke Choiseul and I still have things to do. I'm sorry that I can't send you two back."
The two of them also understood very well that Lawrence was giving an order to exclude guests, so they stood up quickly, bowed respectfully to Lawrence and the Duke of Choiseul, and then left.
Now, only Lawrence and the Duke of Choiseul were left facing the feast.
"You have something to say? Governor Bonaparte."
Duke Choiseul asked unhurriedly. Since Lawrence had rejected the others, it meant that there must be some topics that needed to be discussed in private.
Lawrence nodded slowly.
There were two things that worried him most at the moment. One was the expansion of the National Silver Company in the Paris financial community, and the other was working with the Duke of Choiseul to deal with the political attack by the Duke of Richelieu.
Originally, in Lawrence's plan, the two matters were one in the financial world and the other in the political world, and there would not be much overlap.
However, after being tricked by Justice Maupp at the Palace of Versailles a few days ago, Lawrence quickly realized that Duke Richelieu and Justice Maupp would probably take the opportunity to insert their hands into the Corsican National Silver Company. .
After all, after Justice Maupp took over the negotiations with Lawrence, he basically overturned all the results of Duke Choiseul, which naturally included the fact that the Corsican government and the French royal family jointly owned the National Silver Company.
The performance of the National Silver Company in the financial market will definitely be greatly reduced after losing the support of the royal family. This is definitely not the result that Lawrence expected.
Not to mention that the Duke of Richelieu might find a way to directly pin the National Silver Company to the financial market to prevent Lawrence from raising funds.
So after rejecting the others, Lawrence directly informed Duke Choiseul of his thoughts.
"Well... you are right, Justice Mopp will not let you dominate the financial market."
After hearing Lawrence's analysis, Duke Choiseul nodded in agreement, but his expression showed no concern. Instead, he took the initiative and asked:
"Since you have thought of this level, it means you already have a solution, right?"
"You praise me too much."
Lawrence said with a wry smile, but still nodded and analyzed:
"I think it is very simple to keep the royal family's share in the company. After all, the royal family itself will also benefit greatly from this financing."
Even according to the most conservative estimates, the National Silver Company can raise 5 million livres in this financing, and nearly 40% of this money will flow into the pockets of the royal family.
Including the one million livres that Lawrence just acquired, 375,000 of them are owned by the French royal family.
"So the royal family must be on our side in this matter."
Lawrence tapped the table and said:
"Then... maybe this is an opportunity to break the fragile alliance between Justice Maupe and the Duke of Richelieu."
