In the middle of winter, the weather has become very cold, and the snow is sparsely falling outside, which makes the surrounding streets even quieter, and the cold wind howls in the streets and alleys, as if to send the cold of winter to everyone.

However, Charles did not feel the cold at all, but he was in a good mood and full of joy.

"I really didn't expect you to really do this!"

In Charles' office, Kong Ze looked at Charles in disbelief. "I didn't expect you to be able to get the government to take back your life!"

And next to him, Marcianz was also excited, "No one can stop us now, sir." ”

"I didn't let the government take it back, I just helped the country change a government." Charles calmly replied to him, "As for the rest of the matter, it is a government action, and I have no control over it. ”

"Oh yes, that's right." Kong Ze understood with a look on his face, "Everything is just the government's behavior, we can't control it, the government just helped us unintentionally, it's definitely like this." ”

What they were talking about was nothing else, but naturally it was about renting an international telegraph line. Just a few months earlier, Charles and others had tried to fight for it, but the plan failed, and the lease of the telegraph line was granted to his rival Hawass News Agency by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. The director of the news agency, Mr. Charles Hawass, also personally visited Shire, causing a small disturbance.

Unexpectedly, after a few months. France elected a new president and a new government, which, after reconsidering the previous decisions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, found that there were some problems with the previous decision. It is therefore ready to be reconsidered.

Taking advantage of this shareholder trend, the newly opened Agence de France was able to re-enter the list of candidate tenants, and under the care of Mr. President, it became one of the most popular candidates, and the situation suddenly turned in favor of Charles - of course, this was the initiative of the government, and had nothing to do with Charles.

"Just get it done. The rest will be easy," said Marchianz, who was clearly excited by the good news, and looked full of ambition. "Next, I can find two trustworthy people and send them to Brussels, and bring us any movement in the market over there."

"Yes. That's right. Charles nodded. As long as we have exclusive control of this telegraph line, everyone in Paris will have to come to us for news of the financial markets in Brussels! No more waiting for carrier pigeons to fly around. ”

Kong Ze was fascinated by the prospect, and he certainly knew what that meant.

"Science, that's a good thing!" He suddenly sighed heartily. "It's capable of tossing this stuff! Hawass is mad right now, isn't he? He thought he had ruined us, but now he had to use carrier pigeons and we telegraphed! Ha Luha, I can't help but feel sorry for him. ”

"And that's not all." Charles shrugged slightly, "In the future, science will create ten times more miracles than today. A lot of what we look like magic today was taken for granted by people back then. ”

"I'm convinced of that, too." Kong Ze nodded approvingly. "This is civilization."

The two of them were obviously in a good mood and had already started to gossip. Although on the surface, the management rights have not yet fallen into their hands, and the government still needs to "deliberate and study" again, everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a formality, and they will definitely not be able to escape.

While the few of them were chatting happily, a clerk knocked on the office door.

After hearing his report, Charles suddenly looked up and looked at his two subordinates with a smile.

"We were talking about that Mr. Hawass, and he's coming to me now!"

"Oh!" Marcianz also exclaimed, and then smirked again, "Even he knows that he is in trouble now, right?" Haha ”

"You can breathe well, sir." Kong Ze also looked at Charles gloomily.

"What are you talking about? Everyone is just talking business, and to be honest, I don't want to be like this. Charles shook his head slightly, "For the old-timers, we still have to respect ......"

Then, he waved his hand slightly. The other two people understood and hurriedly walked out of the office.

………………

When he met Mr. Charles Hawass again, it was obvious that Charles had lost the sharpness he had seen the last time they met, and although he was still meticulously dressed, his eyes were not as sharp and shrewd as before. At the moment, he is more like an old man over sixty-five years old than a business tycoon.

It seems that the blow given to him this time is really big. Charles sighed softly in his heart.

However, sighing and sighing, he did not have much pity.

He stood up courteously and greeted him politely.

"Mr. Hawass, I didn't expect you to come again! Really, you don't say it first! Come on, come on, please sit down. ”

However, the other party's expression was much more solemn, and he sat down gently, then looked at Charles seriously.

"Monsieur de Treville, I confess that I did underestimate you before. I apologize to you. ”

"Oh, where are you?" Charles hurriedly waved his hand, "You don't have anything to be sorry for me, why should you be sorry?" ”

After hearing Charles's words, the old man smiled bitterly.

"I really didn't expect you to catch the big ship of the president......"

"Our family has always been a supporter of Mr. President." Charles replied with a smile.

"So in return, he intends to hand over to you the operation of the telegraph line?" Hawass looked up at Charles, a hint of fierceness in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to be able to play this trick." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." Charr was still smiling, "That's right. I've heard now that the government is reconsidering the previous decision, but that doesn't mean it's already in our hands? Now it's just the government asking us to compete again, and I think in your experience. There are definitely a lot of advantages for us...... That's right, we're playing fair now, and maybe one day you'll be able to come to me and teach me some lessons......"

What fair play? Fool who! Since the government is going to reconsider, it is clear that it is going to be replaced, and now it is just a formality.

In the face of Charles's subtle taunt, Mr. Hawass remained calm. But a flash of pain flashed in his eyes, and he understood that the young man was just perfunctory to him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"If my previous visit was unpleasant to you. I want you to apologize, but please believe that I have no ill intentions. ”

"I don't have any ill will now." Charles replied immediately. "I'm just curious, what is the matter with you coming to me today? If you're still here to advise me to stop quitting. Then I'm sorry. I'm just like last time, I'm not going to listen to you. ”

Looking at the slightly stiff expression of the young man in front of him, Mr. Hawass suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and even breathing became a little difficult. After taking a few big breaths, he barely regained his senses.

"It is against the law for the government to do so." He hissed, no longer caring about his usual demeanor. "He's made a decision, but now he's going to take it back, how can it be justified? This will not work. I'll go to court! ”

What, are you going to threaten me? Hey. I'm not afraid!

Charles snorted inwardly.

"Reason? When is the government going to be reasonable? How are you going to sue it? Do you have to make the government hold a grudge against you? This is not a good thing......" he sneered, "Besides, who will suffer if you really have to resort to the law?" Did you get the right to operate in a friendly way before? If you really force the government to investigate, hehe, it won't be so calm then, right? ”

Charles is indeed not afraid of his threats, and before, in order to achieve the goal, the Havas News Agency must have spent a lot of money to open the way, so Charles is also sure that they dare not really resort to the law. He is also hinting that the other government has saved a lot of face for him now, as long as he calmly withdraws, it will be good for everyone.

The old man heard the threat, and he leaned back in his chair, his eyes a little glazed, and he knew that what Charles said was true.

"Now, I can see that you definitely won't stop doing it." After a few more moments of silence, he spoke again, his voice trembling a little. "And, I must admit, young man, you have already taken the lead, and there is no need to stop......"

After a pause, he continued, "But, young man, you are new to this profession after all, and you must not have learned how to avoid many things and how to avoid the reefs inside and out, so I think ......"

"What do you want to do?" Charles asked calmly.

"Sir, let's cooperate." The old man raised his head and looked at Charles expectantly, "We can join forces and operate together, I think as long as we all work together, the future will definitely be limitless." ”

Charles frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry," he replied softly. "I still hope to explore it myself, experience this thing, and run in it? I don't dare bother you to do it......"

"Really?" The old man looked at Charles with a pleading in his eyes.

"Nope." Charles replied flatly.

The old man sighed softly, then stood up to take his leave, his face now gloomy, obviously struck by this defeat.

Charles was about to say goodbye to him, when he suddenly found the old man limp, and fell to the ground.

"Ahh You're fine! Charles exclaimed.

He's not going to have a stroke right now! Didn't he die in 1858? In an instant, he was so confused that he panicked.

Feed! You can't die here, even if you die! How bad that is! He let out a painful cry in his heart.

After a while, he reacted and hurriedly opened the office door and beckoned his own people to come and help.

Under the winter wind and snow, everyone hurriedly carried him into the clinic on the street.

Fortunately, under the care of the doctor, the old man finally woke up, and Charles was also relieved.

The old man opened his eyes, and he wanted to speak, but he seemed to be unable to speak, but his eyes still seemed to be full of anticipation.

Charles shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he still hadn't changed his mind.

The old man closed his eyes again in agony, allowing the doctor to come to his aid, and Charles duly exited the clinic.

"Nothing really happened to him, did he?" Marchiandz next to Charles muttered in a low voice, and there seemed to be some embarrassment in his tone, "Oh, I really didn't expect that the blow to him would be so big!" But it's no wonder...... Hey......"

"Who cares about him!" Kong Ze replied rather cruelly.

"yes, who cares about him! We don't have that much to do charity! Charles shrugged his shoulders again, ignoring the fact that he had defeated a "future giant", and walked back to his news office in the snow on the street.

His career has also ushered in a new peak in this flying winter snow. (To be continued......)

PS: The second volume is finally over, ah...... Breathe a sigh of relief.

In this volume, our protagonist completes the beginning of his career and takes the most important step towards his dreams.

On the road of his life, he also began to pave the sacrifices one by one, and it is a little embarrassing to think about it......

However, in this era, how can anyone become extremely rich with clean hands?

The idea of the third volume,I'm probably half done.,I hope to be able to continue to maintain the previous level.,It's really sad to conceive the plot.。

To be honest, at first I had high hopes for this work, thinking that even if I couldn't be the best, at least I could make a name for myself, but now that I think about it, it's really naïve to the point of being ridiculous...... What a feeling of shame=. =

However, since you have started the dream, you must finish the dream.

Thank you for your continued support and help, thank you very much.

By the way, Xie Lu thanked the book friend for the reward of "Alice on a rainy day".

I will continue to work hard, everyone will see you tomorrow O(∩_∩)O~
