Alexei immediately became interested in the French prince. Indeed, no normal person these days, especially the French, would go all the way to open an oil company in the turbulent Wallachia.
How much money can an oil company make? And the political situation in Wallachia is not stable no matter how you look at it, so if you invest a large amount of money, you are not afraid that it will be wasted?
Even if we take a step back, the French are stupid and bold, but they have to consider how to transport the extracted oil, right? Wallachia does not have a dime of local industrial base, no oil refining capacity, and there are no coastal ports. It is difficult to go to sea.
You have to take a trip from Constanta, which is controlled by Turkey.
The Turks are not good birds. They are still obsessed with Wallachia. Even though they were forced to allow Wallachia autonomy due to the threat of Russia, they still kept making small moves behind the scenes and constantly giving Wallachia benefits.
How can Wallachia be allowed to develop and prosper if the principality creates trouble?
So no matter how you look at it, you think that opening an oil company in Wallachia is an idiotic act. To put it bluntly, even a golden mountain is not enough. What big Parisian family would let their children run here out of their wits?
Investment, not to mention that compared to investing in industry, the French prefer financial lending and short-term and quick money-making projects.
"You are very reasonable. There may be something wrong with this so-called French prince. His purpose of coming to Wallachia is definitely not simple. He may be working for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Alexey thought for a moment and then asked: "You said before that something happened to the former spies of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right? Maybe this so-called young man came to engage in secret activities under the guise of investment! By the way, he is now in
where?"
"I caused a little trouble for him some time ago. His lackeys in Wallachia, the Bretianu brothers, seemed to have deliberately brought him to Brasov for fun in order to cover up their incompetence."
Alexey finally laughed. He seemed to want to reach out and touch Fontana's face, but as soon as he lifted it up, he immediately returned to touching his chin in a covert manner.
"Tell me how you caused a little trouble for him. From what I saw and heard after I came back, those brothers encountered more than just a little trouble. They were almost like rats crossing the street, and everyone was beating them up!"
Fontana also liked Alexi speaking to him in such a relaxed tone, which made her feel very warm. The only thing that disappointed her a little was Alexi's cover-up. She really hoped that Alexi would be bold.
He touched her face. She was looking forward to that feeling, but unfortunately the other person always gave up halfway.
After hearing about Fontana's great achievements, Alexey was also very happy. He laughed and said: "Well done! The French indirectly helped us a big favor! Great!"
Fontana was a little confused and didn't understand why Alexei was so happy. He had to explain: "Because of Viscount Beorgi's incompetence, we were defeated in Wallachia, and almost all our friends suffered a heavy blow.
, especially those who are most friendly to us have lost confidence. To put it bluntly, they are already in pieces!"
"But if you do this, take advantage of the mistakes of the Bretianu brothers and the French guys, and make those forces who hate them put aside their past grudges and work together, this will give us the opportunity to reintegrate them. I can definitely use this opportunity to impress them again.
Let them come back to our side!"
Speaking of this, Alexey became excited. He swept away his previous depression, completely exhaled the turbid air in his chest, hugged Fontana like a child, and shouted excitedly
shouted:
"My baby! You are truly my lucky star!"
However, he soon realized that he had gone "out of line", and immediately let go of Fontana, whose face was flushed by the sudden happiness, like a young girl in love, and deliberately coughed twice to hide the embarrassment:
"You did a great job, Miss Straka. Now I have to admit that you have extraordinary talent and are born to do this!"
Fontana actually didn't notice what Alexei said, because she was already so surprised that the only thoughts in her mind at this moment were:
[Is this the first time he hugs me?]
[He seems to have said that I am his baby, right?]
【It’s so embarrassing, but I like it!】
【His arms are so warm, I really want to be held for a little longer!】
Alexey did not notice that Fontana was already absent-minded. Instead, he lowered his eyes and stared at his shoes and said to himself: "I'm going to see Baroness Kosoy again. According to you, her recent
Life must not be easy, they are probably sitting on the crater now, right? Go find them now, they should be more honest!"
Baron Kosoy was not only having a hard time, but also sitting in the crater. As one of the first people to attack the Prahova Valley and extort money from local landowners, when the Bretianu brothers
When the enemies joined forces to counterattack, Baron Kosoy was also an accomplice of the brothers and suffered a "accidental injury".
Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, Bucharest Mayor Feres was naturally furious. You must know that he has just taken office as mayor, and his butt is still hot! Suddenly and inexplicably, he was pointed at the nose and scolded by the boss of the Provisional Republic Cabinet.
After a while, do you think he was unjust or not?
Of course, in fact, this guy is not unjust. The reason why Baron Kosoy is so bold is because he has set a bad example. The Baron did not believe what Baroness Kosoy said for the first time. After all, the source of the news was
Fontana was an unreliable woman. Baron Kosoy, who was always cautious, would definitely have to make inquiries from various sources to confirm the authenticity of the information before he dared to take action.
So when he discovered that his boss, Ferris, was actually secretly reclaiming land in the Prahova Valley, he knew that this was probably true. Since the superiors had already taken the lead in setting an example, how could he
Why not study hard and follow up?
Immediately, Baron Kosoy let go of his hands and started to do it. His methods were much rougher than Ferris. Ferris was careful about extortion, but he was just and aboveboard about robbery. So he
The ability to draw hatred is more than ten times stronger than that of Ferris.
It wouldn't be a big deal if the incident didn't come to light, but this matter was originally a hole dug by Fontana. If Baron Kosoy fell in, he would naturally stop trying to climb out. Especially when Ferris found out that his men were carrying him behind his back.
When someone does something stupid in his own name, he will naturally get very angry.
As a result, Baron Kosoy's assistant to the mayor was in trouble. Not only was he summarily dismissed, he was also likely to be liquidated and dragged out to quell public outrage...
