Li Xiao smiled a little obscenely, but Alexey had already understood what he meant. It was just that the Black Sea Fleet's warehouses were empty because of some unqualified leaders who had done some unprofessional behavior, and then due to some indescribable reasons
The superiors were unable to allocate food to the Black Sea Fleet, so they had no choice but to send Duke Mikhail Gorchakov with money and let the Duke fend for himself.
Then the news of making money was known to a certain unscrupulous prince, and this unscrupulous prince directly targeted the granary of Wallachia and prepared to start trouble.
But, I understand, this does not mean that Alexey thinks that a certain Grand Duke can successfully make this money.
"How is this possible? No matter how idiotic or stupid the Wallachians are, they cannot sell precious food to their enemies!"
"That's because you underestimate their immorality!"
Li Xiao disagreed with this, because in his opinion, there was no problem with this operation. All he needed to do was to make money from the unscrupulous intermediary.
"Okay, even if the people you mentioned have no moral integrity at all, are the people of Wallachia so stupid that they would allow those without moral integrity to do this?" Alexei asked innocently.
Li Xiao shrugged and replied lightly: "The common people are the easiest to be fooled. Just tell them that selling food is good for Wallachia, and they will accept it!"
"What's the benefit of this!" Alexey went crazy, "Every idiot knows there's no benefit at all!"
"Who said there are no benefits?" Li Xiao snorted contemptuously and laughed: "Selling grain can raise a large amount of funds. With funds, one can buy arms. With arms, one can resist invasion. Is there anything wrong with this?
"
Alexey was stunned, because according to the logic of a certain grand duke, there was nothing wrong with this. But he never thought that a certain grand duke and his evil Wallachian friends would really spend money to buy arms.
"Of course I want to buy it! Why not?"
However, Li Xiao's answer made Alexey start to doubt his IQ again. He asked suspiciously: "Really buying arms for Wallachia? Isn't this causing trouble for us?"
Li Xiao was still so calm and nonchalant, waving his hands and saying without taking it seriously: "How can there be trouble? Buying arms also takes time, it's impossible to pay the money and deliver the goods! It's always necessary.
There must be a cycle!”
Alexei asked: "You mean that even if Wallachia paid the money, it would not be able to get arms during the war?"
"Of course," Li Xiao replied seriously, "force majeure such as war will naturally affect the delivery of goods!"
Alexei suddenly felt that the Wallachians were a bit pitiful. If they followed the script of a certain grand duke, they would have neither food nor arms, and even benefit from the Black Sea Fleet, which was short of food. No matter how you look at it,
It’s a blood loss!
And a certain archduke made a profit from the middleman's price difference in vain. There were even Wallachians who asked a certain archduke for help in buying arms. I'm afraid someone will make a lot of money this time.
In fact, Alexei's thinking is still too simple, because Li Xiao is a hundred times more cunning than him. How can he only make money with the above-mentioned methods?
Vishniak had already told him that Duke Mikhail Gorchakov was extremely eager for food. As long as there was food, the price was really easy to say. Anyway, he was not short of money now.
Therefore, the grain brought from Wallachia will inevitably be sold by Li Xiao for a sky-high price, and he also appreciates it from both sides. The Wallachians thank him for helping to raise money by selling grain, and Duke Mikhail is grateful.
Someone provides help in times of need.
Please note that this is only the first wave of making money. The second wave is the arms purchase and sale. Li Xiao will definitely bring the evil intentions of the middlemen to the extreme and monopolize or at least occupy most of Wallachia's arms purchase business contracts.
share.
To put it simply, Li Xiao signed a contract with the Provisional Government of Wallachia and promised to sell them arms. But Li Xiao himself did not have arms, so he was still a middleman, relying on David Leboeuf's relationship
, it is not a big problem to dump a batch of low-quality and high-priced garbage from France.
And this is a huge price difference, coupled with the customary rebates on both ends, can this amount of money be less?
What's more, these arms will not be delivered to the Provisional Government of Wallachia in the end. After the arms are handed over from the French government to the middleman Li Xiao, he will withhold them. Then, wait for Wallachia
When the provisional government collapses and the provisional government no longer exists, naturally there will be no problem of delivery.
Then Li Xiao can completely sell this batch of arms to the new governments of Wallachia and Moldavia, provided that Alexei can really become governor, and then this will make another profit, right?
All in all, it's like Li Xiao paid for Wallachia's food and arms in vain, and it's a big business that he started with nothing, okay?
Anyway, this kind of coquettish operation is not common in later generations. After all, there are not many people like Wallachia who take advantage of them. If you encounter Fu Zai Yi Dao, you are really sorry for the opportunity given by God to travel through time.
Of course, many details in this operation still need to be polished. Because the Wallachians are not stupid, at least the Wallachian elites still have IQs. If you want to make Wallachia fall into the trap, first of all
Enough benefits must be used to lower the IQ of these elites.
Li Xiao is still confident about this, because these guys are really unscrupulous and have never thought about fighting Russia with real swords and guns. They will definitely not object to this last opportunity to make money. As long as the money is
If you give enough, nothing will be a problem.
"Your ideas are really...really groundbreaking..."
Yang Constantine was confused by Li Xiao's magic operation. He didn't expect that this person had so many ways to make money, but he was just a little unruly.
Of course, this is not to say that Jan Constantine refused, but that he felt that doing so was too disgraceful and could easily be used by political opponents to beat him to death. After all, the business this time was too big, even if he could deceive ordinary people,
You can't deceive old foxes like George Stribe and Jan Gica. If the truth is exposed by these old foxes, it will be great fun.
"Don't think about living alone!" Li Xiao smiled, "Go and have a talk with George Stribe and Jan Gica. How can you miss such a great opportunity to make money? There will be many places for you to use your money in the future. No.
If we make more money now, what will we do in the future?"
Seeing that Yang Constantine was still hesitant, Li Xiao continued to encourage: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Besides, as long as you keep your mouth shut and operate properly, who will know the truth?"
