Catherine looked at Lorraine with a strange look, which contained surprise, admiration and disbelief. In short, everyone was shocked by her. This was not like Catherine who was full of queenly temperament before, but more like a shopping mall.
A strong woman can make many people bankrupt and jump off buildings and lakes with just a wave of her hand.
Catherine couldn't help but feel strange. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What? Is there something wrong with what I do?"
Luo Lin immediately nodded and bowed, saying: "No, no, your highness is wise. He will unify the world for generations to come."
Everyone nearby looked at it and immediately knew where that little gangster Leo got the traitorous look on his face when he nodded and flattered others.
Leo, this silly boy, was just a little naughty before, but since he started hanging out with Lorraine, he has become more and more bad-tempered, and he is better than his master, and he is going further and further down the road of gangsters and scoundrels.
Catherine smacked it briefly and felt that although Lorraine was trying to flatter him, the taste was a bit wrong. There was obviously some untruth in what he said, but she did not pursue it. Instead, she rolled her eyes at him.
Did Catherine know that being more serious with Lorraine and Leo would only make her uncomfortable, since Lorraine had already praised her.
At the same time, she was also full of confidence in the upcoming stock market. Catherine had been planning carefully for a long time, trying to ensure that her plan was foolproof.
Catherine knows that the stock market is definitely a money-making machine, and it is much more powerful than a money printing machine. What's even more powerful is that it does not have the weaknesses of a money printing machine, and there is no need to worry about over-issuance of currency.
The resulting inflation problem.
The currency circulating in the stock market is all real money and hard currency, and it will not depreciate even if the world ends. No matter how you calculate this transaction, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money.
More importantly, the stock market's strong ability to absorb funds not only produces economic benefits, but also has strong political benefits.
By tying the interests of those nobles and wealthy people to the stock market and constantly using some sweeteners to dangle them, you can tie them to your own chariot. An alliance of interests is much more reliable than an alliance written on a piece of paper.
When the stock market becomes strong enough and attracts enough people, making money becomes secondary compared to the control it creates.
It can be said that whoever controls the stock market controls half of the world.
Lorraine could imagine that if someone completely controlled the Dow Jones or Nikkei stock indexes, that person would be more powerful than God.
Let alone causing a European debt crisis, if he said that the earth is flat, presidents all over the world would nod and think that the earth is not round.
At this time, Lorraine suddenly reacted, and then asked in surprise: "By the way, I heard you just said, railway? You..."
Luo Linna smiled slightly, took over the words, and said: "Yes, we have already started to build the railway, and it will not take too long. Because we found that laying railway tracks is really difficult. It is still experimental in nature, and there are less than two people in total.
Ten kilometers away.”
Leo was suddenly startled and shouted: "Railway? What is that? Can it make money?"
Milena pulled him aside, and then reminded: "Leo, don't look like a country bumpkin, you will make people laugh."
But when Lorraine heard it, she clearly felt that her words were full of showing off. City people showing off to their poor relatives in the countryside.
Even though the relationship between the poor relative and myself was very good, this was the happiest thing about her.
It seems that Melina is very happy to seize the opportunity to compete with Leo. In the past few days, Leo has been whetting Melina's appetite, talking about the Semitic people, and it seems that he was talking about it from Amei.
It was as if she had returned from studying abroad during her period, and Melina had long hated it.
Leo didn't notice anything, he glanced at her blankly, and then said obediently: "Oh~!"
Although in Leo's opinion, there is no shame in just asking if you don't understand, and the boss said it's not shameful to ask, but when Melina spoke, it was best not to refute, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
The women from the Semitic tribe next to them all had puzzled faces. They were confused about steam engines, stock markets, railways, etc.
But at this time, in order to avoid being regarded as a bumpkin, it was inconvenient to speak. Who knows whether this is common sense in the human race.
They just pretended to be nonchalant and at the same time pricked their ears.
Lorraine looked at Lorena and said, "Are you really building a railway?"
Catherine smiled and said: "Of course it is true. If we don't build the railway now, the stock market will be built by then. Where can we make money? Those rich people are not much stupider than Leo. If they want to
Is it easy to coax out money?
Even if you’re fishing, you have to give them a bait, right?”
Very good, very powerful answer~!
Lorraine smiled bitterly, and then pondered: "What about the motorcycle problem?"
Luolina stretched out her hand and gently smoothed her long, smooth brown hair, and replied lightly: "It is under construction. The progress of the project is going well, and I believe it will be completed soon."
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated. She sighed in her heart: These girls are too courageous. The locomotive has not been built yet, and the test has not been passed. They dare to build a railway. Isn't this crazy?
Lorraine knew that every section of railway track and sleeper was worth money, and it was a huge amount of money. Catherine and Lorena were unambiguous about how to pay for it.
I really don’t know if they are confident or bold.
No wonder there are only a few women like Wu Zetian and Empress Dowager Cixi who can take charge of a party. But if there are too many of these women, everyone will have no chance of survival.
Catherine noticed his worry, chuckled immediately, and comforted her softly: "Lorraine, don't worry. We have already tested all of your design drawings, whether they are steam engines or steamships. Through practice
Proved that these things are all extremely effective.
So we also believe that this railway train will also work~!"
Luo Linna sighed at this time, then shook her head and said: "I really don't know how your brain grew. How do you know so many things? You can draw such practical things just by relying on your imagination.
Drawings~!"
She paused, looked at Lorraine with admiration, and then continued: "When we were researching, we experimented carefully and found that every step and every part you designed is indispensable and irreplaceable.
I really don’t know how your brain grew.”
Lorraine found that when she looked at him, her eyes radiated bright light, and suddenly her heart moved, and she had a vague premonition.
Sure enough, Luolina stretched out her hand, held Lorraine's big hand in her palm, and then said: "Promise me that after you die, you must hand over your body to me and let me dissect your brain properly.
Take a good look and see what kind of structure there is."
Lorraine: "..."
Everyone nearby could not help but think about it, imagining the anatomy scene, and immediately they all let out a disgusted "vomit~~!"
But Luo Linna ignored her at all and still looked at Lorraine eagerly and said: "Promise me~~"
In order to achieve her goal, she rarely learned Adele's trick and used powerful coquettish attacks. Although her voice was still green, it was far from Adele's, sweet and moist, which made people listen to it.
My whole body felt weak. But because of this, I was even more full of charm.
Lord Luo was also used to beauty traps, but he still couldn't resist it at this time. He had to raise his hands and said: "Okay, okay, if one day I really die in front of you."
Luo Linna couldn't help but cheered immediately, and then regardless of the strange looks from the people around her, she hugged Luo Lin into her arms and said: "You are so good~!"
Lorraine felt her warm embrace with a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but fainted slightly. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "I told you, if you die in front of me, it won't work."
Luolina smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you die before me in the future~!"
That sentence was extremely decisive and full of firm confidence.
Lorraine couldn't help but shudder. She sighed in her heart: I don't know whether to poison or use a knife. No matter what, this bitch will definitely do it in the future~!
For the sake of my own future, I must quickly strengthen the education of Lorena. Even if she becomes a fujoshi like Adele, she will be better than she is now. No wonder Leo has a phobia of mages. It must be for no reason.
In her joy, Luo Linna couldn't help but kissed him heavily on the forehead. Then she said: "Just wait, I will get you something else. Let you be happy."
After saying that, he turned around, picked up the hem of his skirt, and walked out quickly with light steps.
Everyone looked at Lorraine intently, their eyes full of sympathy, except that they did not directly write the words "You are so pitiful".
Lorraine couldn't help but let out a long sigh at this time. Looking at her slim back, she stretched out her hand to touch the place she had just kissed, and murmured helplessly: "I know I have absolutely no bones.
A good person will be ruined sooner or later in the hands of you women..."
The voice was so low that the women next to him didn't hear it. Otherwise, it would have caused another wave of trouble and been criticized by everyone.
Lorraine calmed down, then looked at Catherine and said: "Nicole, tell us carefully what you have done in the past period of time."
Catherine turned her head and thought for a moment, then said: "That's fine. You need to know these things originally. It's not a bad idea to talk about it now."
She paused, then reached out and pulled out a report from under the table, coughed lightly and said: "The year 833 in the Julian calendar was an extremely extraordinary year.
The economic and social development of our province has withstood major challenges and tests rarely seen in history. Under the wise leadership of our Nai'an official, the people of all ethnic groups in the province have faced the difficulties, worked hard and overcome various difficulties and obstacles.
New and major achievements have been made in all aspects of society..."
After talking about it, she put down the manuscript and waved her hand forward vigorously~!
The leadership style is vividly demonstrated
Lorraine couldn't help but sweat profusely.
But Leo next to him had already shouted in dissatisfaction, saying: "Nicole, Nicole, stop talking. It's better to keep these words to fool others.
We are all our own people, is it necessary to do these things?"
Catherine was startled for a moment, then turned over the manuscript, blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I took the wrong one. This is the unabridged version of the summary report written by the secretary and submitted to the top."
Leo then pulled up his clothes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said with some complaint: "You are optimistic. I thought I would have to hold another two or three hours of meetings~! That would take me
Old fate."
He had suffered in this area before. When he was young and ignorant, one year there was a Senate meeting. Out of curiosity, he pestered Catherine to go.
As a result, he sat for two or three hours without being able to move. He almost wet his pants. Leo's restless temper couldn't bear this punishment, and he remembered this very well.
Therefore, every time he hears a report, he immediately feels the need to urinate. Therefore, Leo, like Lorraine, requires all reports to be written as concisely and concisely as possible.
Catherine took out another report, opened it, and read: "The spring breeze of Nai'an is blowing all over the earth, and people of all ethnic groups are striving for success..."
Before everyone in Lorraine could express their opinions, she already felt something was wrong. She frowned and said, "What a mess~!"
Then he closed the document heavily, and then he discovered that there were notes written in small letters on the cover of the document.
She glanced at it, and then whispered: "Promote the version to the grassroots people~!"
Catherine couldn't help but feel annoyed, and slammed the table, saying: "Damn it, I got it wrong again~! These guys are too careless in their work."
She reached out and rummaged through the pile of documents carefully for a long time, and finally picked up one, looked at it carefully twice, and then unfolded it.
She first recited a few sentences in a low voice, and found that this time she had indeed taken it correctly. Then she coughed slightly and said: "Last year, our results were pretty good. The total tax revenue was 3.12 million, and each
Bureaucratic salary expenditures..."
Lorraine immediately felt a headache, and then said: "Stop, stop. Don't tell me these numbers. They had already said it to me during the meeting, and I didn't remember any of them anyway.
You have read these documents. Just tell me what the situation is."
Catherine sighed helplessly, then put the report together and said: "Overall, it's not bad. It's basically turned a profit. No more aid from the empire is needed. But it can only go so far.
Moreover, over the past year, various land reclamation profits have been huge, but they are all on the books, and most of them are loans, and a larger amount of additional investment is needed.
There is not much arable land, and most of it can only be used as pasture.
The cycle of these things is very long, and the results will not be seen even after three to five years~!
In short, the expenses are huge and the income growth is slow.”
Lorraine listened and knew that what Catherine said was true, but this kind of thing can only be done step by step, and there is no shortcut. Infrastructure construction is just throwing money into it, constantly throwing money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Catherine smiled slightly, and then comforted her: "Don't worry, Lorraine. Not to mention that the current situation in this province is good. It has been greatly improved from before.
Even if it is not as good as before, so what? After all, we have just gone through a large-scale war and have the responsibility to rebuild.
As long as I'm here to take care of you, who of the bunch of bastards in the Prime Minister's Office would dare to cause trouble for you?"
As he spoke, his delicate body trembled, and a stern look appeared between her brows.
It fully demonstrates the royal demeanor of a strong-armed princess.
The girls next to them looked at it and did not dare to say anything. But at the same time, they couldn't help but look at Lorraine with more sympathy.
Lorraine smiled bitterly at this time and said: "Nicole, although this is a good thing, I still feel..."
At this moment, Leo became impatient and shouted angrily: "This is none of our business~! I want to hear about the situation of our Flying Eagle Company.
How is it now? Has it made any money? How much has it made?"
Catherine glanced at him, then looked at Lorraine, and saw that he was also very interested, so she slowly took out a document from another hidden compartment next to it.
This time, she didn't even look at it, she just reached out and took it out.
Looking at her skillful movements, Lorraine couldn't help but secretly sweat. Just from this comparison of movements, she knew that the eldest princess's heart was all about the Flying Eagle Company, and she didn't care about the governor at all.
Take things seriously.
Catherine took out the document, glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "You are talking about Feiying Company... it is our big profit and tax company in Nai'an. In fact, it can be said that it is the only big profit and tax company. All other companies have already
Being squeezed down by it, just from this, you know what the situation is like?"
Leo immediately snorted.
Catherine knew what he was thinking and immediately smiled: "In fact, Flying Eagle Company has monopolized most fields. Steel, coal and other energy industries, weapons manufacturing, tool manufacturing and other manufacturing industries, as well as loans and deposits
The financial and banking industry, not to mention our most profitable luxury goods, such as glass, perfume, various high-end leather bags, leather shoes and clothes...etc."
At this time, several Semitic women nearby suddenly widened their eyes.
Luxury goods~!
If you take it out, it can dazzle other people's eyes and greatly satisfy your own vanity.
For a woman with a strong sense of vanity, how many people wouldn’t like it?
Leo immediately slammed the table and said: "I don't care about this, I just want to know how much money I made at the end of the year. Everything is fake, but this is the real thing~!"
Lorraine glanced at Leo approvingly, this question is extremely pointed~!
Until now, Catherine has been going in circles. It's really a bit worrying.
At this time, Catherine smiled, and then said: "The company now has no money except for normal operations~!"
"What~!" Leo was furious immediately, "No... no money? What about the company's money?"
Catherine smiled and said: "This is not about the company expanding its scale and acquiring all other companies' shops and so on. Naturally, there will be no money."
After hearing this, Leo couldn't help suppressing his anger, and then said: "Then how many companies have we acquired now?"
Catherine smiled slightly and said: "There are not many. But, as of...by the end of last year, basically, 80% of the luxury stores in the empire had to have a flying eagle in front of their names~!
