"How do you feel, Mr. Bull?" A tall, thin man who looked like a butler was asking a man sitting in a chair, and next to him, there were seven or eight tall, short, fat and thin people who were also sitting on a chair.

Mr. Bull, who was chubby, nodded in surprise, "Sir, I think it's very good, I've never been so good, the colic in my chest is gone, and the feeling of not being able to breathe is gone!" ”

"What about you, Baron Mace?" The butler looked again at a well-dressed man sitting alone on the other side.

Nan Ru didn't say anything, but solemnly walked up to Ye Kai and bowed to him and Lavoisier next to him.

"Lord Marquis of Saigon, Monsieur Lavoisier, thanks to the two of you for your invention, I estimate that I can live for a few more decades!"

Whoa! Warm applause rang out, and Ye Kai and Lavoisier also stood up and bowed to Lord Metz in return.

Another important issue of this banquet hosted by the Duke of Segur was the loan, and Ye Kai used the technology of nitroglycerin as a pledge to borrow a sum of money from French and Italian bankers.

These included 1,800,000 livres borrowed in the name of Quang Nam and 1,000,000 livres in his own personal name.

If you want to borrow, then these treacherous bankers, of course, have to see if nitroglycerin is worth the price

At present, Lavoisier is still working on diatomaceous earth as an explosive, but it has been diluted to a certain percentage and used as a drug for the treatment of angina pectoris and coronary heart disease.

The eleven people at the scene, including Baron Mace, were all patients with coronary heart disease who were invited, and they came to test the medicine.

Since angina pectoris and coronary heart disease do not occur just as they want to attack, representatives of the Parisian financial circles and usurers in Italy who are waiting to see the effects of the drug have been waiting for a long time.

However, they were not bored, for each of their tables had a variety of cakes, waffles, and a precious milk tea that could only be tasted by the nobles of Seris.

In particular, Bishop Jederick, who is the representative of Pope Pius VI, has already drunk more than three cups, and he has become obsessed with this sweet milk tea!

"Your Excellency the Marquis of Saigon, Monsieur Lavoisier, what an invention! Who would have thought that explosives could be life-saving medicines. ”

As the lord of the Duke of Rao Segur, he praised Ye Kai and Lavoisier a few words, and then looked at the others sitting at the round table and said, "Everyone, you have seen the curative effect, now let's discuss the borrowing intention of His Excellency the Marquis of Saigon!" ”

There were not many representatives of the profiteers here, including the Duke of Orleans, who had almost become king of France, and the representative of Pope Pius VI, Bishop Jederick.

and Pierre, who played a great role in the American Revolutionary War. The Count of Dupont, of course, also included the very wealthy Duke of Segur.

This fat man gave out 800,000 thousand miles of verine for berberine and diethylxmorphine last time, and this time he was also ready to lend money to Ye Kai, which is enough to prove the wealth of the Segul family.

However, among these shortcomings, the one who can attract Ye Kai's attention the most is of course Pierre. Dupont, that's right, this guy is the founder of the famous A-sister you see the DuPont family in later generations, they are still French nobles.

Pierre. Because DuPont got Britain to sign a treaty recognizing the independence of North America, he became acquainted with a large number of Founding Fathers, including Jefferson, who were regarded as close friends of Jefferson.

Ten years later, in the French Revolution because of his stubborn support for King Louis XVI, Pierre. The DuPont family was deported by the Directory and finally went to Amei, where they started by making explosives, and finally formed the glorious and prosperous DuPont family.

And now, Pierre. DuPont's son, Elle. DuPont was one of Lavoisier's most capable students, so after knowing that Ye Kai wanted to borrow money with nitroglycerin technology, Elle, who had a keen sense of smell. DuPont quickly informed his father.

Because no matter how you look at it, it was a big business to make money, and he certainly couldn't imagine that a revolution would break out in France a few years later!

Practically all Europeans did not expect this, because before that, there had never been such an epoch-making event as the French Revolution, which could already be called a bourgeois revolution.

"It's really remarkable, but 2.8 million miles of folls is still too much, if His Excellency the Marquis defaults, we will take away your nitroglycerin patent, and the income is still too slow to compensate for our losses, I don't think there are so many angina and coronary heart disease patients in the whole of Europe!"

Bishop Jedrick, who drank the last drop of milk tea in the cup, made no secret of his thoughts, these profiteers here are not here for the interest on the loan of 2.8 million thousand miles!

They came for the nitroglycerin technology in Ye Kai's hands, and even the seven percent of the shares of the King Pharmaceutical Factory in his hands, they didn't mind if Ye Kai could afford to pay back the money, maybe it would be better if he couldn't afford it!

"Your Excellency Bishop Jedric, I think you are mistaken, I didn't want to borrow 2.8 million lifoles, I only borrowed 1 million lifolls, as for the 1.8 million lifolls, it was a loan from the Quang Nam Kingdom, but it was not my personal forgiveness!" Ye Kai shook his head and corrected Bishop Yedrick's words.

"Hmm!" Pierre. Du Pont looked at Ye Kai, it was reasonable to borrow only one million miles of nitroglycerin technology, but in this case, why did they lend one million to the Quang Nam Kingdom?

Who knows if the money will be recovered? What if the restoration of the Quang Nam Kingdom is not successful?

"Your Excellency Marquis, if you refuse to guarantee the debts of Guangnan Kingdom, I don't think we can agree to this loan, 1.8 million livr is not a number, just a few of us can't eat, we need to find at least ten or more collaborators to jointly contribute, if there is no suitable guarantee, we can't convince others to pay!"

Pierre. As soon as Dupont's words came out, it was a little cold, Ye Kai couldn't give Ruan Fuying this guarantee no matter what way he came, if he took the guarantee and Ruan Fuying repaid the debt, these profiteers would definitely want to take away the shares of his King's Pharmaceutical Factory.

In this way, he has become the one who took the blame for Ruan Fuying, he resisted this pot, the French would not immediately come to Ruan Fuying for trouble, then Ye Kai would lose miserably, the money was gone, and the opportunity to overturn Ruan Fuying was gone!

"Gentlemen, I don't think it's as good as this, as for the loan of the Quang Nam Kingdom, I have learned that Lord Neck, the Minister of Finance, has already approved the loan of 900,000 lifolles, and now there is only the difference of 900,000 liverets, and if the Marquis is willing to guarantee it, we can release the loan immediately."

The chubby Duke Segur pretended to be a peacemaker, but his purpose was still to trap Ye Kai into the trap of Zheng who was guaranteed by the shares of the King's Pharmaceutical Factory

Ye Kai slowly glanced at the profiteers around the round table, he knew that if he didn't give in, these guys might not make a move, so he pretended to think for a while.

"900,000 lifoles is too much, how can there be a private person to vouch for the state? If you gentlemen must do this, I am willing to give up to two percent of the shares of the King's Pharmaceutical Factory to guarantee 350,000 miles of it! ”

Wan Ye Kai looked at Duke Segul, who wanted something, and shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to vouch, but I have other uses for the remaining shares, I want to raise weapons and uniforms for the legions I recruited, wrapping flintlock pistols, various mortars and cannons from three to twelve pounds, and a third-class battleship and other military supplies!" ”

Although his face was in pain on the surface, as if he was bleeding heavily, Ye Kai knew that now was the best time to cash out, if he returned to Nanyang, the shares he owned were just numbers!

With the current conditions of communication, this money is about the same as nothing, and the French Revolution is still waiting!

The profiteers glanced at each other, and the most important of them, Bishop Jedrick, nodded lightly, the pope at this time was super overwhelmed

"Alright! Your Excellency the Marquis of Saigon, we have agreed to your terms, but we must handle the matter of collecting equipment for your legion, and you can rest assured that we will get you the most advanced weapons according to the strictest regulations! ”

"Alright! I agreed! Ye Kai nodded, trying to control his muscles to prevent himself from laughing, plus the amount he received in the early stage, berberine, diethylxmorphine, and nitroglycerin alone brought him an income of 1.9 million lifolles, as well as 1,500 weapons and equipment for people, and a third-class battleship.

Moreover, he also successfully made Ruan Phuc Anh owe 550,000 miles of usury, if he defaulted on the debt, he would not only give up France, but also offend the Pope and the bankers of the Italian states!
