To be fair, Mr. Sexton, the public works officer of Nai'an Province, is also a very good man, and he is very straightforward in getting paid. He has a pretty good reputation in the political circles of Nai'an.
After receiving the gift, he went to ask Lorraine for instructions that afternoon, and in the report, he described Flying Eagle as a large multinational group that ranks first among the world's top 500 companies and has a sense of responsibility comparable to that of British Petroleum.
And in order to get the best treatment for this company, he was not afraid of rape, nor was he afraid of Lord Lorraine, who had just carried out a major purge. He excitedly slammed the table with Lord Lorraine, and asked the young man loudly
Governor: "If we don't support such a responsible, strong, and capable enterprise, who will support it? If we don't support it, who will?"
Lord Lorraine also doesn’t understand why a company like Flying Eagle, which deliberately set its registered office in the Cayman Islands in order to evade taxes, suddenly transformed into a national enterprise.
But Lord Lorraine faced the "arguable arguments" and waved the banner of "revitalizing national enterprises", and the red-necked Works Officer was so excited that he humbly lowered his head and opened the door to convenience.
He signed his name on the document smoothly.
And at the same time, the Governor of Lorraine was also extremely strict in handling affairs.
After signing the document, he also gave the Works Officer Sexton a serious instruction: "We must strictly control the company. Don't let it be because this company is run by His Highness Leo, and I also have a little bit of experience here."
We have relaxed our supervision since we have a small shareholding. We must strictly enforce the law and handle business affairs in a fair manner. There must be no relaxation at all~!"
Seeing Governor Lorraine's awe-inspiring righteousness, Works Officer Sexton burst into tears with excitement and said several times, "The Governor is so wise and upright, he is truly a role model for imperial officials and is admired by all people."
My admiration for you is like the endless waves of the river, and like the overflowing Beni River..."
He spent a long time in Lorraine's office and flattered her so disgustingly that Lord Lorraine almost vomited, and then he stood up and left. And before leaving, he was very angry.
Sentiment. I sighed from the bottom of my heart for Governor Lorraine’s unsparing support for local economic development.
Although their performance was disgusting for a long time, everyone was smart and fully understood the hidden behind this disgusting official accent.
Despite the righteousness of what Lorraine said, the specific meaning is very obvious: This company is run by His Highness Leo, the future emperor, and the current gangster, and I am still behind it. It’s up to you~
!
And Works Officer Sexton also patted his chest and promised: Don't worry, sir~! If someone dares to cause trouble for you without eyes, I will rush up and kill him first before you can do it yourself~!
The next day, the deputy general manager of Flying Eagle Company and Sexton, Nian's works officer, began formal negotiations regarding Flying Eagle Company's contracting of the West Point Officers Vocational Education College.
As the director of Nai'an's infrastructure and land planning, Public Works Officer Sexton, after receiving Lorraine's instructions, clearly knew that the Flying Eagle Company and Nai'an Salt Industry were both Lorraine and Leo's industries.
For a brother-in-law to undertake a project for his brother-in-law, it is a reasonable thing in any corner of the world.
However, since the two bosses insisted on taking off their pants and farting, and wanted to make black money and build a memorial arch, the work officer Sexton could only pretend to be confused.
However, he accepted the gift with peace of mind - knowing that this was the hard-earned money given to him by Lorraine, would he dare not accept it?
Therefore, he acted businesslike and reached a preliminary agreement with the deputy general manager of Feiying Company. The specific negotiations would have to wait for Feiying Company to come up with a plan before coming over to talk to him.
But Sexton knew very well that this matter had already been decided. No matter what, he had better prepare the funds first~!
In the headquarters of Flying Eagle Company in Nadel City, Leo pointed to a group of deputy managers working below and said loudly: "One thing is to choose the best prime location. There is a big garden when you go out, and there is a commercial street around the corner.
Go hire an elf designer for me.
It must be built with the highest quality buildings, the stairs are all gold-plated, and every room has floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Carpets, wall lamps, tapestries, everything that can be installed is installed.
If there is a garden downstairs, there will also be an outdoor swimming pool on the roof.
Every road in the park is paved with marble, and even the toilets are used.
There must be a team of building management personnel at the door of each building.
Whenever someone comes in, regardless of whether they have something to do or not, they have to come up and say, "Mei Ai, hello, Se'er?" They must curl up their lips and use the tone of voice spoken by the rural natives on Lund Island~
!
Build a seven-star hotel on campus. All ingredients will be imported. No matter what dish they order, even a potato, the plates will have to be imported from the East.
If they want to drink boiled water, they all give me five gold coins...
In a word, don’t ask for the best, just the most expensive! Do you understand?”
"Um, CEO, are we building a school? It's not a palace, right?" A manager below said blankly.
Leo said angrily: "Nonsense, you are deaf. I have been talking to you for so long and you still haven't understood."
"But the cost is still 100,000, right?"
"One hundred thousand?" Leo shouted: "How can you do this? Give me a design of three hundred thousand!"
Lorraine grabbed Leo off the table, leaned into his ear and said: "You are desperate, spend three hundred thousand, how much tax will Catherine charge from us? All our profits will go into Catherine's pocket.
"
Leo was stunned for a moment, said "Ouch", scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I was so high, I forgot about this."
Then he jumped back on the chair and said to the people below: "It's better to pay 100,000~!"
Lorraine shook his head and said: "Why is it so troublesome? Don't we have a ready-made venue? It's our own training base. I'll use it in a hurry, so I can make do with it."
"It's not good," Leo said with great doubts: "It's too shabby there. If you just take it out like this, wouldn't that be ruining the reputation of our Flying Eagle Company? No matter how hard you look for it, you have to build a five-star hotel, right?"
Yes, the most important thing is that I only spent ten thousand gold coins to buy that place."
"Since it is an institution used by our government, first of all, the appearance of the building must be inconspicuous. It should look the same as an ordinary private college. That would be the best. It would be better if it has a bit of age, so that it does not
Someone will gossip." Lorraine smiled and said: "But the inside must be renovated well. Once it is done, can we quote a price of 100,000? Does Sexton dare not accept it?"
Leo nodded with deep understanding and said: "Is it the Red Mansion that the boss once said? It's a good idea. The boss is great. This way our costs will be greatly saved. But..."
He scratched his head and said, "Nicole knows the cost of our land purchase, and she knows it, so she still can't charge us a lot of taxes?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "This is not simple. When issuing a VAT invoice, please issue a little more, and when reporting for decoration, please declare a little more. Isn't that enough?"
Anyway, it is a government project, and the most expensive one is always chosen, so the cost on the books will go up."
Leo slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's do it! Guys, start working, start working, get started~!"
Formal negotiations between Flying Eagle Company and Public Works Officer Sexton soon began. While other officials had received little news, the two parties had reached a formal agreement. The Nai'an government would outsource the training of provincial officials and military officers to
Flying Eagle Education and Training Group.
Not only that, the Naian Public Works Department has officially launched an open tender for the construction of the Military Officers Vocational College and the Public Relations College.
Open bidding is a new idea proposed by the Governor of Lorraine, in order to prevent government-business collusion and embezzlement of project funds, and to prevent unscrupulous teams without construction capabilities from disrupting the construction industry market in Nai'an, resulting in shoddy projects.
Governor Lorraine immediately promulgated the "Public Works Construction Management Regulations", which stipulates that all projects funded by the government must be subject to public bidding, and the construction qualifications of bidding companies must be reviewed and a market access system must be implemented. Only in public works
Only those who have obtained a license signed by the Governor here are qualified to bid for government projects, and this qualification is reviewed every three years.
As for those temporary grass-top teams, there is no need to come up and embarrass themselves.
As soon as this method was implemented, the officials below applauded and praised our governor for being really wise. This has fundamentally eliminated the problems of illegal waste and substandard construction quality. If this method had been implemented earlier, our Nai'an Avenue would have been greatly improved.
They have already reached the Parthian capital and so on.
After Deputy Public Works Officer Coligo was arrested, it was revealed that this guy used slaves to build roads and squandered all the wages allocated to workers, leaving more than 40,000 gold coins in his pocket every year.
When the officials in Nai'an heard the news, they all took a deep breath. Forty thousand gold coins~! Still every year.
This number is enough to drive the entire Ruman Empire crazy, let alone a small Naian. For the entire empire, this is a major case that happens only once in decades.
The people of Naian are now spreading the rumor that "Coligo fell and Lorraine was full."
There are also gossips who swore that they saw the money that His Highness Leo took from Coligo's house, which was in several boxes and boxes, and was piled up on several carriages.
The officials in Nai'an were jealous of Coligo in their hearts, and cursed Coligo, you are a grandson, why are you hugging so many people, and you can't carry him into the coffin~!
Now that this law has been promulgated, all project contracting has been made clear. If I want my brother-in-law to contract a project in the future, I will have to pay a lot of favor money.
By the way, there is now a trend of setting up construction companies in Nai'an. Works Officer Sexton's place is full of people, and many people have connections to Catherine and Adele.
Lorraine's move was mainly to prevent incidents such as using slaves to build roads from happening again. As for things like fairness, efficiency, economy, etc., the Propaganda Department can just shout slogans. Don't take it seriously.
Let me tell you something, it is the same in the entire universe.
Now that the big orders from the two government training colleges are out, everyone is jealous. People who understand know that these people from Lorraine's own family are amusing themselves. Those who don't understand also see that there is only one flight company in Nai'an now.
Eagle Construction Company has qualifications, and it is also Class 5S.
This project naturally fell on Feiying Company.
With funding from the Nai'an government, after Feiying Construction Company built the training base, Feiying Education and Training Group leased the entire training base at a rent of five thousand gold coins per year. The rent was still included in the training fees paid by the government to Feiying Company every year.
deducted.
A typical set of Lorraine and Leo's empty-handed white wolf business operations. The most important point is that the entire training system is under Lorraine's control. All of them are brainwashed according to Lorraine's requirements... er, training.
After all the contracts were signed, Leo left the business to his subordinates to operate. Anyway, it would take some time to complete the training base. It would also take some time for Lorraine to summon the officers below and select additional personnel.
Catherine and Adele are now focused on the interrogation of the arrested slave traders, and have to submit Baron Rathmore's charges to the House of Arms, and have a war with the old guys at the House of Arms. In addition,
There were also a lot of things going on in the eastern provinces, and they were so busy running around that they had no time to take care of Lorraine and Leo at the same time.
Leo, who had been given the opportunity to act freely, is now fully committed to another more important matter, which is the integration of the Naian salt market. This is a truly big deal.
The reason for the matter is also very simple. Led sent Lorraine the information about the slave traders, but it helped Lorraine a lot. Both Lorraine and Leo knew the principle of reciprocating love.
The case is still under trial. Because there are too many people involved, no results can be produced without half a year's time. Of course, the honorary title of Lieutenant will have to wait.
Lorraine believes that rewards must be given first. For the person who surrendered to him first, he set him as an example and told them that if they hang out with me Lorraine, they will have meat to eat, a house to live in, and girls to pick up. And they do well.
Yes, two more will be sent.
From now on, these Naian people will have no scruples when selling their fellow villagers.
Although the Leed family is also a landowner, their main business is selling salt. There are two large salt farms in Nai'an. Since Lorraine fought back against the salt merchants, the Leed family almost lost all their wealth. Later Lorraine promised him
After receiving the reward, he simply closed the salt farm.
Lorraine first thought of taking over the Lied family's salt farm, and then buying shares in Feiying Salt Industry at a price to give him a dividend.
Leo saw huge business opportunities here. Now the salt fields in Nai'an are either closed or half-stopped. They are all suffering from the dumping of Nai'an Salt Industry. They take advantage of their illness to kill them. Leo is even more
At the internal meeting of Feiying Company, the slogan "Nai'an Salt Industry will dominate the world for thousands of years" was shouted.
After negotiation between the manager of Nai'an Salt Industry and Leed, the two salt fields were exchanged for 5% of the shares of Nai'an Salt Industry. Of course, Leed's family was overjoyed with this result. It didn't matter how much money they made. They were here
By partnering with the future emperor to do business, the Leed family will be considered the number one figure in Naian from now on.
In a manor outside the city of Nadel, on the rooftop balcony, facing the wide Beni River, the sun is no longer hot.
In the refreshing autumn weather, looking out at the Beni River here with a glass of wine gives you a unique relaxing feeling.
As the eldest son of the Leed family, Dict, Leed is also a popular figure among the young people in Nedel City.
He is currently holding a wine glass, leaning on the railing, looking at the rolling river below. Next to him is the unlucky Laurian, Sheigol. Several months have passed, and he is still lying on the chair sickly.
on the bed, covered with a blanket.
Several young girls who took good care of the patients were sitting on both sides of Lauryn, and a group of young people were chatting on the balcony.
"Have you heard that our little governor has come up with a strange idea to recruit all those officers to the capital?" A young man said with a very gossipy expression.
Lauryn suddenly heard the words "Governor", his face suddenly flushed, and he coughed loudly.
A girl named Bonnie scolded: "Don't mention that nasty guy."
"That's right, the eldest princess fell in love with him. She originally thought he was a gentleman, but she didn't expect that he turned out to be just like a gangster." The female companions next to her followed.
The man shrugged and said nothing.
Lauryn waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just want to hear it. Tell me."
"It seems that because the garrison in Texir City mutinied, the governor was very angry and wanted to gather all the officers in the province to educate him. He was really childish. After being bitten by a dog, he wanted to bring peace to the whole country.
Give that dog a beating." Several young people started laughing.
Dickert waved his hand and said, "I heard it's not that simple. For this reason, there were several meetings held in the Governor's Mansion."
"Oh, I forgot, the Led family and the governor are now partners..." Someone next to him jumped out angrily.
The people next to me asked, "Really? What's going on? Tell me, Dickt."
Dict spread his hands and said, "It's something about the salt field, but my father won't let me get involved, and I don't know much about it either."
"Is there anything? Is there a big secret? If you don't tell me, I'll tell you," one person said dissatisfiedly: "The salt field of the Lied family seems to have been merged into the Nai'an Salt Industry. I heard yesterday that the two salt fields are both
People from Nai’an Salt Industry are already working on it.”
Bonnie asked, "Is that so? Dickt."
Dict smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "It seems so. My father has been looking for the manager of Nai'an Salt Industry recently."
"What's more, your father is now the deputy manager of Nai'an Salt Industry. All the grocery stores have received the news."
