Chapter 266 Personnel Arrangement
Two days before the Spring Festival, everyone rushed to Vienna, one is to get together to celebrate the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, and the other is to summarize the work of the previous period, this is likely to be the last time these people can get together, after the Spring Festival, Gao Hongsheng and Feng Laosi will set off back to the Qing Dynasty, others will be scattered all over the place, and it is difficult for everyone to have the opportunity to get together again.
Gao Hongsheng and they discussed for a whole day before the work of the remaining European personnel was determined, Bo Caiyun became the head of the entire overseas business according to his expectations, Jin Xiaobao continued to be responsible for the receipt and delivery of all commodities and goods in the port of Alefel, and at the same time she also had to collect art for Gao Hongsheng, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the British market and the non-European market.
Lin Daiyu is based in Paris, France, and is responsible for the entire French market as well as other small European countries, and Brooke remains in Paris as her subordinate to supervise her work.
Among the three women, Lin Daiyu is the one who does not reassure Gao Hongsheng, from a historical point of view, Jin Xiaobao is the most worry-free, people married themselves to a good person, and then they have been living well.
Lin Daiyu was very beautiful in Shangjing Beach when she was young, but she was very miserable in her later years and died tragically in the slums.
This woman has to be scheming, she has to have a wrist, otherwise she can't be in Shanghai Tang, the result is that money comes too easily, and the money leaves just as quickly, someone must supervise this kind of woman, Brooke is the one who supervises her and accuses her of spending money indiscriminately.
Bo Caiyun is always in charge of the entire overseas affairs, and at the same time is also responsible for the sales of modern goods in countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary, fortunately, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the Ottoman Empire do not have to worry about her, and the whole can be thrown to Miss Sophie, the future wife of the Archduke Ferdinand, she only needs to supply the goods and collect the money.
So her main job was to manage the pits that Gao Hongsheng had dug with Albert, the licensing and investment of patents, and the factories that she had opened with Ferdinand.
Albert remained in Vienna as Bo Caiyun's deputy, in order to keep the two men in check, and he was mainly responsible for the operation of the joint projects between the Mauser Company and Austria-Hungary, as well as for all arms business.
Bo Caiyun couldn't compare with him in these aspects, and things like industry and munitions were too rusty for her, but she could still do it under the supervision of Albert's accounts.
The hapless John was unanimously voted to go to South Africa to work there to trade in arms, and his job was actually simple, the first step was to buy an abandoned mine in the suburbs of Johannesburg, build it into a fortress, store Gao Hongsheng's arms in it, and open a weapons store in Johannesburg to make potential customers.
Gao Hongsheng: The large amount of weapons and ammunition they ordered will be secretly transported into South Africa before the British blockade of South Africa during the Second Boer War, and then they will sit and wait for the war between the British and the Boers to come, and when the British block other channels for obtaining Boer weapons and ammunition, then John can start his sales work.
South Africa has a lot of gold, gold and diamonds are the most, arms are not worth much before the war, only in the war is valuable, the price at that time has always been the final say of the supplier, gold and diamonds for Gao Hongsheng is a commodity that can be digested in modern times, which is also the main reason why he stared at South Africa.
Gao Hongsheng selected five people from the minions he brought, plus fifty people selected from the labor team were sent to John, they could form a very capable armed escort team, they were only the vanguard, and later Gao Hongsheng planned to transfer a team of several hundred people from the country to strengthen the escort force in South Africa, and it was very dangerous for a million-pound business to be without a strong guarantee.
Absolute power corresponds to absolute corruption, without restriction and supervision, anyone will become corrupt step by step, this is the nature of human beings, and it has nothing to do with any moral heart, at the beginning of people, nature is greedy, only greed can we move forward, otherwise how to evolve without a little selfishness?
As a player who has worked hard in online games for many years, Gao Hongsheng has never believed in anyone, in fact, in that virtual world, when you stand at a height, there are no real friends, no real enemies, all of them are just for better survival and more benefits.
In that virtual world, the word trust is gradually restricted by supervision and system in online games, no one can have absolute rights, blood and passion are gradually diluted by conspiracy and betrayal, and the pervasive double spies and undercover agents sent by hostile forces make it impossible for you to distinguish who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, and only the gradual improvement of the supervision and restraint system is the basis for vigorous development.
Gao Hongsheng couldn't fundamentally trust anyone, so he had to put all the overseas personnel in an environment of mutual supervision and mutual restraint, and anyone could see that he arranged it like this, but everyone didn't say anything, but voted in favor of his decision, and now although they are a whole, no one can guarantee whether others will harm everyone's interests, it is better to be under the condition of supervision and restraint, and also save who will do things that harm everyone's interests.
Early in the morning, Gao Hongsheng was blocked in the quilt by the people led by Bo Caiyun, he was too tired last night, Fei Liya knew that he was going back to the Great Qing Kingdom soon, this night was really a bit crazy and excessive, until the two of them were exhausted and let each other go, Fei Liya has not yet thought about whether to follow him to the Great Qing Kingdom.
Gao Hongsheng's disheveled face opened the door with tiredness and boredom, and with one hand, he glanced at the people in the corridor from the crack, and muttered to the thin Caiyun in front of the door: "Morning, why are you so diligent today, is there anything wrong?" ”
Bo Caiyun flashed back, frowned, exaggeratedly fanned the bad breath with his hand, and said angrily: "Shopkeeper, today is a big day to meet Princess Sissi, have you forgotten?" ”
"Is it today?" Gao Hongsheng asked with a yawn.
"Today, don't you see everyone in costume? If we don't leave in half an hour, I don't think it matter how good your relationship with Archduke Ferdinand is, but we can't stay in Austria-Hungary, and it's not a good thing to keep Her Royal Highness the Empress of an empire waiting. Bo Caiyun looked in through the crack in the door, and Felia was hurriedly dressing.
"How is it today, not tomorrow?" Gao Hongsheng is a little busy these days, he feels as if tomorrow is the day to meet Princess Sissi, today it seems that Princess Sissi and **Yun went to the tuberculosis prevention and control hospital to cut the ribbon for the opening, and there is nothing to do with him at all.
Princess Sissi arrived in Vienna a few days ago, but it is a pity that she did not live in Schönbrunn Palace, after her eldest son committed suicide with his mistress, Sissi's heart also died, a black dress is the main color of her later clothing, and the relationship with His Royal Highness Joseph also seems to be detached, the two basically have no intersection except for communication, even after she arrived in Vienna, she did not live in Schönbrunn Palace, but lived in a small castle in the countryside very low-key.
After Bo Caiyun knew that Princess Sissi arrived in Vienna, she went to meet her as soon as possible, Princess Sissi was very interested in the Great Qing Kingdom in the East, and Bo Caiyun was a character who rolled in the wind and moon field, and she knew that it was indispensable to see and hear all over the country in the Great Qing Dynasty, and the common topic easily made the two people have a basis for meeting, and after a few times, the two became friends who forgot to make friends in the New Year.
This is also one of the characteristics of Gao Hongsheng's view of Bo Caiyun, no matter who comes into contact with her, he will quickly become her friend, and he is simply a very good diplomat.
"It seems that you really forgot about it, today we are going to cut the ribbon of the tuberculosis prevention and treatment hospital with Princess Sissi, she hates those pretentious nobles in Vienna, in order to avoid them, she arranged for you to officially meet you today, I told you yesterday in person, and you also promised to say that you know, why did you forget it now?"
Gao Hongsheng thought about it for a while, it seemed that there was such a thing, but at that time, he was calculating whether to import a batch of grain from the Americas and send it back to the Qing Dynasty, or continue to pour grain from modern times to deal with the increasingly tight food shortage. It seems that there is such a thing, so he casually agreed, but in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all, and now Bo Caiyun remembered it when he mentioned it.
It is unforgivable to let Her Royal Highness the Empress of an empire wait for herself, especially Her Royal Highness the Empress who she still respects very much, it is even more unforgivable, so after Gao Hongsheng reacted, he closed the door with a bang, and then the sound of him and Felia arguing came from the room.
"Felia, where are my pants? And where the bow tie went. ”
"Gao, do I look good in this coat?"
"Okay, where's my socks?"
