Li Xiao is lying when he says he has no regrets. At this time in Bucharest, every time he has a friend, especially a friend he can trust, the feeling is different. It is a pity that sometimes people can play tricks on each other even if they don't know each other.
.
Li Xiao could only sigh secretly in his heart and ordered Anton to continue returning to his apartment. Bucharest was so big, how could such a huge crowd of people be found? What's more, they couldn't find it openly and openly, which almost cut off all contact.
hope.
However, he was still comforting Vishniak, who was a bit self-blaming: "We can meet him among millions of people. If there is a first time, there will definitely be a second time. I believe we will see him again soon."
Lexi’s!”
But although he didn't see Alexei, when Li Xiao returned to his apartment, he met another unexpected friend!
"Uncle David, why are you here?"
David Leboeuf was no less surprised than Li Xiao. He first cheered and hugged Li Xiao warmly, and then replied with a smile: "I just arrived today, and this old guy Pelleni gave me
The arrangements have been made here, and I also thought about going to Ploiesti to see you when I have a little free time in two days. My little Andreka, you really surprised me!"
Yes, David Leboeuf was very surprised. Originally, he thought that the son of his old master, a half-way monk, knew nothing about intelligence work, which was not much better than knowing seven things and six.
When he was in Istanbul, he was always worried about someone, fearing that someone would leak something and reveal his identity. Leboeuf was not afraid that Li Xiao would implicate him, even though he was the matchmaker for Li Xiao's documents and relationships, so for Leboeuf
To put it bluntly, these are all trivial matters, and the worst possible outcome would be to leave this unimpressive job and run away again.
It was not like he had never escaped when he offended Napoleon and Nicholas I. He had rich experience in this area, so he was not afraid at all.
LeBoeuf is more worried about Li Xiao's safety. His old master only has such a son. If something goes wrong, his bloodline will be cut off. Moreover, his old brother Igor has repeatedly told him that he must ensure that Li Xiao
He is really concerned about this. Regardless of his past problems of laziness and procrastination at work, he actively pays attention to every move in Wallachia every day.
However, Leboeuf was soon shocked, because according to the information he received, Li Xiao was not only not in any danger, but was actually living as comfortably as a fish in water. What was even more frightening was that he
His every move also indirectly promoted France's presence in Wallachia, making France's influence on Wallachia unprecedentedly large. This made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs very responsible for the Consulate General of Wallachia and the Embassy in Turkey.
They are satisfied and encourage them to keep up their efforts and achieve great results again.
Well, LeBoeuf's glasses were shattered on the ground, and he was more surprised than happy. He felt that his old master had a successor, and his old brother Igor was really a master in training the next generation. No wonder the old master chose Igor back then.
Ertuo Gu instead of him.
"Andreka, you did a great job. Even this old guy like De Pelleni is full of praise and favor for you. Let me come here and tell you to keep up your efforts and achieve great results again!"
Li Xiao also laughed and joked: "Did that old guy just ask you to come all this way to just give me empty words? He is still as stingy and loves money as much as ever!"
LeBoeuf also laughed loudly, put his arm around Li Xiao's shoulders and said: "That's not just bringing you one empty talk, but three empty words. In addition, I guess you don't need to give his secretary anything if you go to see him again in the future.
It’s just money to buy the road, haha!”
【Three empty words.】
This immediately caught Li Xiao's attention. As the minister-counsellor of the French Embassy in Turkey, Pelleni is the boss when the position of French minister in Turkey is currently vacant. The empty words he asked Leboeuf to bring are by no means only
It's as simple as empty words.
"You are right," LeBoeuf put away his smile and nodded: "That old guy has always been a thief who never takes advantage and takes advantage when he sees it... His meaning is very simple. The first thing is that he hopes you
To continue to help France expand its influence in Wallachia, it is best to win over and develop a group of senior officials of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia who are pro-French."
Li Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Well, what about the second one?"
Leboeuf smiled again: "The second is even simpler. He is very interested in the Wallachian Oil Company!"
puff……
Not only Li Xiao laughed after hearing this, but also Vishniak next to him burst into laughter. An empty leather bag company in name only turned into a hot commodity, and even big shots like De Pelleni began to covet it.
Three feet, well, I can only say that Li Xiao's operation was so successful, it is a classic work of the White Wolf with empty hands!
"This old guy has a really smart nose!" Li Xiao laughed and said: "You can find ways to make money from such a distance. If you were a diplomat with half this cleverness, you would not have been eaten to death by the British before.
Damn it!"
Leboeuf also nodded sincerely. The reason why the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs was so passive in Wallachia was certainly due to the February Revolution in Paris that caused the French government to collapse into chaos and become leaderless, but it was mostly due to De Pelleni.
of incompetence.
As the actual person in charge, this guy is more interested in making money than doing official business. He only thinks about making money and having fun. He basically comes to Turkey to hunt for gold and take a vacation. Under his leadership, almost all French diplomatic departments in Turkey began to let themselves go.
If everyone does his or her own thing, naturally nothing practical can be accomplished.
However, Li Xiao also thanked this guy for being stupid, otherwise he would be selling dog meat and fishing in troubled waters? Now that this old guy has reached out to ask for bribes, it is naturally better. Anyway, he is also generous to Wallachia, why?
What fun but not doing it!
What's more, if even this old guy got on the Wallachian Oil Company's pirate ship, then Li Xiao would naturally be even more unscrupulous!
Li Xiao immediately made a decision: "Give him 10% of the shares!"
Li Xiao's generosity made David Leboeuf a little emotional, because although Wallachian Oil Company is still a leather company, the value of this leather bag is extraordinary. The large fields in Prahova are no joke
, these lands come to you with nothing, even if none of them can produce oil, you can still make money by selling them!
David Leboeuf originally thought that Li Xiao's willingness to give 5% was generous enough, but he didn't expect that he would directly double it. This is called an open mind and a smart person. If you are willing to give up, you will gain by giving up first, which is the virtue of general.
Pelleni is on board, and the income will definitely exceed the expenditure several times!
But before David LeBoeuf finished sighing, he heard Li Xiao say again: "Uncle David, I can't let you make this trip in vain. I'm also ready for your 5%!"
