Petrovna actually didn't understand why Li Xiao asked her to give Viscount Prozolov the check.
In her opinion, the money was not well spent. They had the endorsement of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna. Even with this relationship, Viscount Prozolov would not dare to do anything, right?
So even if you don't give money, does that person dare to cause trouble?
She thought it was impossible, but Li Xiao told her: "The king of hell is better than the imp. Don't underestimate Viscount Prozolov, he is not a simple character. Maybe he is not capable of accomplishing things around Grand Duke Constantine."
, but the ability to do bad things is second to none!”
Petrovna was surprised because she did not expect that Li Xiao would give such a high evaluation to Viscount Prozolov. You must know that Li Xiao is a god-like power in her eyes.
Kiev is going to lose all its hard work, and such a powerful person dare not underestimate Viscount Prozolov. Is this Viscount really that dangerous?
"It is particularly dangerous. Anyone who underestimates him will pay a heavy price!" Li Xiao replied very calmly, but he added in his heart: "The premise is that this Viscount will not ignore the benefits and make small mistakes.
big."
In his opinion, this is the biggest shortcoming of Viscount Prozolov. He may be very shrewd and have an overall view of the situation at times, but once he is blinded by money or other short-term interests, he will make blind moves one after another.
out.
For example, when it came to stealing and selling grain last time, didn't this guy know there might be a trap? Didn't he know that this might put Grand Duke Constantine in an extremely unfavorable passive position?
Of course he knew, but he couldn't help it when money moved people's hearts.
This is his biggest shortcoming. He cannot control his own desires and is always dominated by them. As long as he masters this shortcoming and takes targeted measures, it is actually not difficult to deal with him.
As for Li Xiao asking Petrovna to give money, it was to prevent this woman from being jealous of other colleagues when she was doing grain business and deliberately using money from Viscount Prozolov to make him do evil.
Viscount Prozolov has never been short of this kind of ability. Considering his relationship with Grand Duke Constantine, it will not be too easy for Petrovna to fill her shoes.
For Li Xiao, the purpose of letting Petrovna come over is to let her return to Grand Duke Constantine and monitor her nearby. It can only bring the relationship closer but not alienate it. A small amount of money can be used to prevent Viscount Prozolov from causing harm, but the cost is small.
.
"This is the first step. Next, you should do a good job in the grain business. With the resources we give you, you should be very prosperous soon. At that time, Archduke Constantine and the viscount will not even notice you.
impossible!"
Petrovna actually didn't like this job. If possible, she would have preferred to stay in St. Petersburg. After having Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna as her protector, she was very successful there.
So enjoyable.
But Li Xiao asked her to come to Moldavia and continue to lurk around Grand Duke Constantine. The place was in chaos, even the local nobles had fled, and they couldn't even hold a decent dance. How angry are you?
stuffy!
However, she did not dare to disobey Li Xiao's order. She knew very well who gave her a new life and who gave her a foothold in St. Petersburg. If she offended someone, the other party could give her a short sentence.
Get back to your original shape.
What's more, it's a very honorable thing to do grain trading here. Not everyone in St. Petersburg is qualified to do this business. Only the top predators and giants are qualified to end up. A small person like her
It is already a great honor for Xiami to qualify for admission.
Anyway, the little sisters she had just met in St. Petersburg were extremely envious when they heard that she had gone to Moldavia to do the grain business, and they looked at her with a lot of respect.
Who doesn't want to be respected?
So although the environment in Chisinau was a bit unsatisfactory, and Viscount Prozolov and Grand Duke Konstantin were a bit annoying, Petrovna still obeyed the order obediently.
"What's the second step?"
"Continue to close the relationship with Kostya, strive to become his most important economic partner, and try to expand our influence in Chisinau."
She knew how to get Petrovna closer, but she didn't know much about how to become the Grand Duke's most important economic partner. As a social butterfly, her main skills were in charm, and she knew nothing about how to do business.
.
When she was in Kiev, the money she got from her benefactors was basically either left to grow moldy at the bottom of the box, or she was used to buy some land and serfs, and she never thought about starting a business.
"If you don't understand, you can learn slowly," Li Xiao ordered without any doubt. "With your intelligence, it is not difficult to learn how to do business. What's more, we will guide you in the early stage and tell you what to do."
Petrovna felt a little more relieved, and then asked carefully: "But what about money? Doing business requires money..."
Li Xiao was secretly amused, and was even more impressed by this woman's thief. She actually wanted to get money from him with nothing, you are really capable!
He glared at Petrovna and said: "It is not convenient for us to transfer the funds to you directly. Viscount Prozolov's sophistication and Kostya's suspicion will definitely investigate your relationship with Aunt Elena.
We will check all aspects of you. If we find that we have financial contacts, your identity will be revealed!"
Petrovna curled her lips. Although this reason was very realistic and powerful, she always felt that Li Xiao was just a loser. However, considering that the other party was very powerful, she had indeed benefited from him a lot. Strictly speaking, these relationships were not useful.
Money can buy it.
Now she was asked to be responsible for her own profits and losses. Although she felt that someone was a bit stingy, she still accepted it honestly. She felt that since she had a background in the grain business, even if she lost money, how could she lose it?
After thinking for a while she asked: "What about the third step?"
"...When you really become an indispensable and important figure around Kostya, I will tell you what to do in the third step... It's too early to say this now, you'd better do the first two parts first!"
Petrovna was not surprised at all that Li Xiao did not tell her the ultimate goal. Obviously these people were very concerned about Grand Duke Constantine, so they went to such great lengths to place chess pieces around him. As for the ultimate goal, she felt that it was definitely not
What a good thing, she has already experienced how insidious, cunning and dirty the high-ranking nobles can be. Maybe there is some conspiracy being implemented secretly!
