Chapter 293: The Poor Worm Suppressed by Krupp
Chapter 293
The first update, the film in the previous chapter was too ruthless, and it seemed to be reported by someone (there are still people reporting it on the street like this?). As a result, the chapter was rectified and was not updated in time yesterday
April 1865, Le Quisso.
The carriage swayed on the bumpy road. Garion, who was sitting in the car, even needed to hold the car from time to time to stabilize his sitting position. In the end, he gave up the idea of reading the newspaper in the car, put the newspaper in his hand aside, glanced at the contents of it, and knew that it was nothing more than the Bonaparte government vigorously promoting the Prussian threat theory and stirring up the so-called anti-German plot, so as to achieve the purpose of diverting the contradiction.
Well...... This kind of practice of substituting national contradictions for class contradictions was also played by the five big hooligans of later generations......
Sitting opposite Garion was Chancellor of the Exchequer Fulder, most striking for his garlic-like nose, like an egg hanging from his face, and inversely proportional to his nose was his eyes that narrowed into a thin line, revealing a cunning light.
He put his hands on his knees and said calmly, "Recently, the news of His Excellency Garion has been circulating throughout Paris...... I also have to admire His Excellency Garion's methods, which can relieve internal pressure by inciting the people, and let you sit in a supernumerary position, which is really wronged you. ”
"You have overdone it, Minister Fulde, I am but a writer of light words, and I am an insignificant man compared to the financial lifeblood of France in your hands."
"Hahaha, who doesn't know that your Excellency Garion is a political celebrity next to His Majesty, and now the Foreign Secretary is deeply jealous of you...... Your Excellency, it's not just other people watching you, including the Germans, who are watching you. But I'm still curious why you suddenly visited Schneider? ”
Schneider is located in the small town of Le Quiso in the eastern part of France. It is a historic industrial town with high reserves of iron ore and coal in the vicinity. The ironworks here are among the first few steel mills in Europe. Schneider is in a good location. It is bordered by Paris to the north, Lyon to the south, and Dijon to the east, and is flanked by the Somme and Loire rivers on the left and right. At that time, the founder Adolf directly bought the coal mine, iron ore and affiliated factories of Le Quisso, and even bought a nearby castle called Voss as the local headquarters of the Schneider family.
Later, there was a smiling poor Inagami trapeze Tianzun who worked here for a short time, so that many people remembered this arms giant company.
The carriage then carried Garion and Fuld to the Schneider family's castle, where Eugène, the head of the Schneider family, appeared at the door to greet Garion.
The old castle stood surrounded by thorns and roses, and the gray walls were like the dark brown coat worn by Eugène, and the dark green vines were crawling on them, and the windows that were carved out of the walls were densely encircled, revealing a bit of decay and gloom.
On the roof of the sloped face of the arched fan, the sound of crows hissing could be heard throughout the gloomy sky, and the surrounding senbai swayed in the wind with a terrible whining sound.
Like a castle inhabited by a vampire count in the Middle Ages.
Eugène, who was already fifty or sixty years old, stood at the door, waiting for the two Garions, and the rest of the Schneider family looked at the carriage that was gradually approaching the castle with complicated expressions.
The carriage gradually came to a halt in front of them, and Eugène himself stepped forward and stood in front of the two of them, respectfully waiting for the people in the carriage to come down.
"Your Excellency Fuld, Your Excellency Garrian, it is my pleasure to be here."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the young Garion, the young one was a little jealous, how many times was he a young and personable playboy, and sure enough, the years were unforgiving.
"The previous telegram also mentioned to you what Your Majesty said, Your Excellency Garion is here today to visit the Schneider factory and propose to take a stake in your company."
"Sure enough."
Ou Gent's heart tightened, and then lowered his head, what he didn't want to see was still going to happen, he didn't want the political forces in Paris to intervene in the production and operation of Schneider's company, and there was a phenomenon of laymen guiding insiders, but the tough attitude from the top also made him unable to refuse. In order to maintain the right to speak in the production of enterprises, he said to the Minister of Finance in front of him, "I wonder if this Lord Garion has any experience in weapons research and development or steel production, etc." ”
Garion shook his head dryly.
Ou Gent's heart darkened, and he hurriedly asked, "What about any steel craft?" ”
"Nope."
"I'm just a man of letters, I've written a few articles in Paris, and I've met a few royal nobles. ”
Amateur.
Eugène's heart was already full of contempt for Garion, and he was directly on an equal footing with political speculators. But these words could only rot in his stomach, and he didn't dare to say it even if he was killed. The telegram he received that night was an order from the Tuileries Palace, and he did not dare to risk the future of his entire family.
Eugène's throat rolled a little, and at the risk of disobeying the emperor's words, he also had to express his opinion, pretending to be embarrassed, and said to the chancellor of the exchequer beside him, Fulder, "Your Excellency, you see...... Schneider has to have someone with production experience, and I'm really not at ease with someone like His Excellency Garion......"
Fulder shook his head slightly, he did not dare to disobey the direct order from Napoleon III, and it was better to let the Schneider company understand that everything they had was thanks to the Bonaparte family.
The younger generation behind Eugène didn't know Garion, and they couldn't help it when they saw that Fuld was so strong. Just before the two sides were about to break out, Garion preemptively said, "Can you let me visit the Schneider factory first?" Perhaps I can make some useful suggestions, and it will not be too late for His Excellency Eugène to make a judgment. ”
Suggestion?
Eugène looked at Garion with disdain, who looked sincere, what advice could a hairy young man have that was worth taking on his own?
What he said next made the faces of Eugène and the members of the Schneider family behind him change.
Garion looked at their disdainful eyes and said seriously, "Your Excellency Eugène doesn't need to look down on me, if you have the ability, how could the Schneider family be suppressed by Krupp for so many years?" ”
"A bunch of poor worms."
