Chapter XXII Cabinet Reshuffle
ps: Thank you for the rewards of the Son of Disaster and Hope, Haidihaojao, and Sikong Dufeng, there is still one more person left on the homepage, please you!
"The communications industry is the mainstream of the future, I wonder if Mr. Li agrees with this?"
"His Highness Joseph means to adopt a joint venture?"
Li Lao couldn't help frowning while speaking, Joseph understood the reason why he frowned, the importance of the communication industry is self-evident, Joseph is an outsider no matter what, how can such an important industry allow outsiders to hold shares?
"Maybe Mr. Li misunderstood what I meant, the joint venture is right, but I am not ready to participate in the operation, and I only retain the right to dividends and supervision in Huaxia."
"As long as the right to dividends and the right to supervise?"
"Yes, as long as the right to dividends and the right to supervise."
"If that's the case, then there's something to talk about." Li Lao thought so, but he didn't show it on the surface, but still frowned and thought, but at this time he pretended to be in order to take the initiative in the next negotiations.
"A complete set of Paper Communication equipment, 60 percent of the dividend shares."
"No, absolutely not."
As soon as Joseph's words were finished, Elder Li's face changed greatly, and if his body did not allow it, Joseph even suspected that he would jump. Of course, whether these are pretentious or not is only known to Li Lao himself, after all, the purpose of both sides is to improve the interests of their own side.
Li Lao will act Joseph will also be able to act, frowning: "The Huaxia side is only out of land and workers, and the technology and equipment are all borne by the Nord side, and sixty percent is not a lot of ......"
Joseph's words made Li Lao smile helplessly, he forgot Joseph's age, he can act, and others can still play tricks! According to this, it is estimated that it will not be able to be negotiated for a month, so it is better to be happy than to drag it out like that.
"His Royal Highness Joseph, I believe you are also clear about the national conditions of China, there is nothing to talk about in our government holdings, I say a sincere opinion, you retain 30% of the shares, including the next industry, how about we follow this distribution plan?"
"No problem!"
Li Lao was ready for Joseph to continue to entangle, but who knew that Joseph actually agreed without hesitation, and it is estimated that Li Lao himself did not know that after 20 years, the telecommunications industry alone would bring Joseph hundreds of times more benefits.
With Li Lao's sentence, it is much simpler next, Novartis Joint Venture Automobile Co., Ltd., Novartis Joint Venture Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Huaxia Petrochemical Co., Ltd. Due to the special reasons of the petrochemical industry, Joseph only holds 7.8% of the shares, and it is a shareholding rather than a joint venture, after all, it is a resource-related industry, and Joseph does not dare to go too far.
In addition to the shares in these companies, NORD will receive $130 million in cash and 2.4 percent of China Construction Bank.
If it were purely from money, Joseph would not be able to buy these shares even with twice as much cash, but in terms of value, Huaxia would not suffer a loss, after all, they got the precision machinery that they urgently needed now and could not be bought with any amount of money.
Without the prospects of these companies, Nord would even be the loser, after all, he took considerable risks in these things, and one was careless...... Touch! Everything was reduced to ashes.
Under the propaganda of the United States, China has been very terrifying, which has led to no one dare to set foot in the East easily, although everything can not be announced yet, but Joseph's behavior is obviously a manifestation of recognition of the Chinese market, and soon a little bit will be revealed, the potential value of this transaction will be beyond imagination.
All aspects are taken together, and this is the result that Li Lao happily agreed, drank tea, ate, and things were settled, and then Li Lao quietly left the Nord Principality to prepare to go to France to take a plane back to China.
The cooperation with Huaxia has come to an end for the time being, and now Joseph's main concern is Audi's global sales and cabinet reshuffle, and the first batch of Huaxia workers is coming, and Joseph must be ready.
At this time, the population of the Principality of Nord had exceeded 10,000, and the rapid growth of the population had reduced the security of Nord by at least ten percentage points.
Nord Palace Meeting Room:
"After the reorganization, the Cabinet of the Principality of Nord will have eight ministries and units, responsible for the Ministry of Health, Medical Care, Epidemic Prevention and Environment; Ministry of Education, Schools, Culture; the Ministry of Customs, Statistics; Ministry of Commerce of Construction and Investment; the Ministry of Civil Affairs for people's livelihood, agriculture and manpower placement; the Ministry of Justice for Public Security, Fire Fighting, and Riots; Publicity Department for Communications and Media; The only foreign ministry of foreign language. ”
"The members of the Cabinet are ministers, and the ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister, but the personnel must be determined by the House of Commons, which has the power to supervise and veto appointments."
"Officials below the ministerial level are approved by the House of Commons, which has the power to veto appointments."
"The Prime Minister shall be appointed for a term of five years and shall not be re-elected except with the permission of the Grand Duke. In addition, the Grand Duke has the right to dismiss the Prime Minister and dissolve the Cabinet and the House of Commons at will. ”
"The members of the Royal House of Commons of Nord are elected by the citizens and the number is 108; The members of the House of Lords are appointed by the Grand Duke, and the number is 36; The House of Commons has the power of freedom of opinion, personnel, and supervision of administrative officials; The House of Lords has legislative power and the power to veto all bills passed by the House of Commons. ”
As James read out the rules, the current cabinet members couldn't help but look at Joseph, and they all knew that the time that truly belonged to Joseph was coming.
"The level of incorruptibility in a country is indicative of its future direction, and I propose to raise the salaries of current civil servants, especially police officers, by at least three times."
At this time, the annual salary of Nord citizens is about $700, which is more than double that of China, but it is far inferior to that of the United States.
The salary of civil servants is about $100 higher than that of ordinary Nord citizens, and now Joseph wants to raise his salary, especially the salary of the police, which is three times higher, so it can be said that the salary of Nord police under the high-salary pension policy will inevitably be close to the per capita income of the United States, and it can rank among the top three in Europe.
The conference room was full of officials, and they naturally would not refuse such a good thing, especially the director of the police department, who was about to become the Minister of Justice, and he was naturally overjoyed to bring such good news to his subordinates before he took office.
"I don't know if you've heard of the Qin State?"
"Western Roman Empire?"
"No, it's the Qin State of the East."
"The Warring States Period of China?"
It was the Minister of Education who spoke, and sure enough, he was an educator, and in the confusion of the other ministers, he had already given an answer, and Joseph nodded at him to indicate that he was right.
"Qin Shi Huang's strict laws make him a tyrant, and Nord alone does not do much to support integrity, Prime Minister James, I hope to see the criminal law of the Principality of Nord doubled in the next few years, especially for the incorruptibility of officials, with at least five times the penalty."
After all, the West prides itself on being a civilized country, and Joseph cannot commit public anger and torture, the only thing he can do is to increase the chances of the death penalty, and only when the gain is disproportionate to the cost can the bad ideas of domestic officials be stifled.
A sweet date and a stick, such a simple and effective policy made the officials of the Duchy of Nord feel uncomfortable, and the gaze of Joseph was also complicated.
The meeting dispersed under such circumstances, and when they left, the cabinet members were not as relaxed as before, and they could see that Joseph was not smiling, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not even concealed in the slightest.
James is the most complicated person at this time, he is happy to see Joseph grow up slowly, but he does not agree with Joseph's policy, because he knows what the end of the tyrannical Qin is, and the harsh law itself is an act of unpopularity.
But he did not dissuade and did not dare to dissuade, and after years of experience, James could see that Joseph understood the results of doing this, but since he knew that he was still doing this, then it can only be said that Joseph was prepared for the worst.
