Chapter 50: Three Bourbons in One Room
Since the supermarket has not made any money at the moment, Alfonso's initial investment has also been consumed by the opening of three supermarkets.
Therefore, Wal-Mart's office building is just a small house near the suburbs, not to mention the location and small area.
The negotiation venue had to be placed in a club.
On March 5, financing negotiations began.
After all, it was a multi-million dollar exchange, but Alfonso still arrived on time and opened a box next door.
At this time, Wal-Mart has a lot of talents, and although the company is temporarily poor, everyone can see his future development prospects.
"Zana, remember the bottom line." Before starting negotiations, Alfonso admonished.
Since Walmart has not yet gone public, the valuation is entirely up to each individual.
In Zana's and Alfonso's opinion, it must be worth more than £2 million.
……
During the negotiations, Zana and his men came out from time to time to report on Alfonso's progress.
But as time went on, there were signs of collapse.
Finally, there was an intermission, and the second session resumed in the afternoon.
"Your Highness, the other party is far from our estimate." Zana's brow furrowed.
"Hmm... Let's talk about it in the afternoon, if it really doesn't work, I'll wait until the other two small supermarkets open. Alfonso didn't care.
"......" Zana opened her mouth to say something, but didn't open her mouth.
It's really this room, and the atmosphere is too dull at the moment.
On Alfonso's left and right hands sat a young man in his 30s and a middle-aged and elderly man in his 50s.
Neither of them spoke much, and it was Alfonso who found a topic from time to time to keep the room from falling silent.
'The negotiating team have told me before that their psychological valuation is £1.5 million and I can now raise them to £2 million, but give me a little bit more.
At this time, the man on the right side spoke, he was the Count of Chambord, the Count of Henry.
Maybe this count's name is not loud enough, but he has a resounding surname - Bourbon.
He is the current supporter of the French orthodox (Bourbonists), the grandson of the former French King Charles X.
"I can raise the valuation to £2.05 million, and I should make it a friend of His Royal Highness Alfonso." Hearing this, the man on the left was not to be outdone.
He was Louis Philippe, a count, a Count of Paris, and a prominent surname, Bourbon (Bourbon-Orleans).
He was also the grandson of the King of France (grandson of Louis Philippe, grandson of the same name), and was currently a supporter of the Orleans.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the room is understandable, after all, the two are rivals, people who have also claimed the French throne.
Both of them came to get close to Alfonso, a Bourbon climbing relative, today, but they didn't expect to crash.
Alfonso was also a little embarrassed now, he stood up and said to the two Bourbons: "I will go out with Zana to discuss the negotiations, and the two of you will be absent." ”
In the hallway, Alfonso and Zana were talking in whispers.
Alfonso thought about it carefully and said:
"I think their proposal is okay, their shares should be higher, and the shares of other nobles can be appropriately reduced, anyway, they don't give face first."
Zana hesitated: "It's not what we planned in advance, and it may give rise to a lot of competitors." ”
"It doesn't matter if there is a little competition, they all take the initiative to propose, and it is not easy to refuse." Alfonso said helplessly.
Everyone is a Bourbon, and there must be unity among the Bourbons.
"But the first condition for us to raise money is to be able to help the supermarket grow." Zana Express:
"Your Highness, I know that they are Bourbon like you, but you can't ask for money for the sake of your family.
At present, the majority in France are liberal and republican, and neither faction ignores them.
Moreover, many of their supporters were nobles left over from the Orleans and Bourbon dynasties, and their influence was far less than that of the Bonaparte aristocracy.
Instead of giving them a higher share, it is better to directly increase the share of the royal family. ”
Alfonso was speechless, he knew that in the current situation, Zana's words made sense.
In Zana's view, Alfonso was helping two broken relatives.
But in reality, Bonaparte will soon fall, give them too much share, and then there will be big problems.
And when the Second Empire falls, the republicans will lose their support in an instant, the royalists will have the upper hand, and both of his relatives will have a chance to become kings.
Historically, after the fall of the empire, the Orthodox and Orleanists reconciled and jointly installed Count Henry as king and Louis Philippe as heir.
Basically, as long as Henry nodded, France would return to Bourbon after 1870.
But Henry insisted on abandoning the tricolor flag and restoring the white lily-decorated flag, otherwise he would not accept the throne.
A compromise that would include both a tricolor and a lily ornament in the flag was also rejected.
There was no way, so they set up a temporary Third Republic, and when Henry wanted to open or die, he would make Louis Philippe king.
But after a long time the people got used to it, the royalists gradually declined, and France never had a chance to become a kingdom again.
Therefore, as long as Alfonso finds a way to persuade Henry, don't dwell too much on the issue of the flag.
In this timeline, France will be the Kingdom of Bourbon, and investing in them will definitely make a profit.
"Listen to me, are you really going to accept the valuation of 1.5 million or 1.6 million offered by those guys?
In the future, we will have to raise funds in other countries, and this time it is a benchmark, you can think about it. "Alfon's cableway.
"Okay, then I'll come up with a plan with the team as soon as possible, and we'll continue negotiations tomorrow." When there is a conflict between the two people's ideas, it is always Zana who compromises.
