Section 74 The Lord of Business 5

readx;? Brion didn't want to say anything more, he also knew that if the Ambrila Group continued like this, the entire commercial system of Lyon City would be completely destroyed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The bourgeoisie has now been hit harder than ever before, and Brion's original goal of deterrence has been achieved.

"I still miss our old friendship. Besides, the fight between our two families is really not good for the city of Lyon and its citizens. Brion said seriously: "So I hope to end this business war by negotiating peace." ”

Gribois nodded in agreement, and in fact he had little say in the matter. What he hopes for is to save his company as much as possible by summing up. It's just that I didn't expect Brion to be so merciful and didn't punish himself in any way.

Briand continued: "The city of Lyon will have such a big storm this time, and we are also responsible for the damage caused. In short, I will do my best to help companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and of course the banks will be open again. Everything will be restored again. ”

Before Gribois could speak, Brion said: "The order from the military will be given to you in the same way, but it will be produced according to our drawings, and I am sure you will be able to do it." Secondly, we have 300,000 francs remitted to your account at the Banque de France. That is the full sincerity of our peace. ”

"What... Gribois's eyes widened like a goldfish, and he couldn't imagine that there would be such great benefits after peace. As for his current thoughts, the ambition to make a comeback has swelled even more.

He was actually numb to the huge boon Brion had given him. Instead of any gratitude, Brion was now a stupid young man according to his idea. In his experience, if an opponent pleads with you, you should take him down completely.

Brion, however, did not do so. He thought that one day he must bring the Ambrila consortium to the ground and make a comeback in the business community of Lyon.

As for the days of his comeback, it should be after he recently regained his strength. Although the financial turmoil caused him heavy losses, it did not damage his fundamental strength. Moreover, now there are orders from the military, and some have received a huge sum of 300,000 yuan. This undoubtedly accelerated the resurrection of the military industry.

And what Gribois has to do now is to obediently surrender, playing the role of a frozen snake that bites the farmer when he is not looking.

At the end of the discussion between Gribeov and Brion, Brion formally handed over to Gribois an order for arms worth 150,000 francs from the government military. Of course, there are also restrictions on military factories: "All weapons must be made in accordance with the requirements on the drawings and completed within half a month." If the rules are not followed, Mr. Gribois will have to pay double the damages. ”

As a notary, Languedotte gave Gribovie a drawing of a weapon, but this one he had never seen before. Gribovis was a little strange, but he took the drawing without asking a question, after all, this was a sale of 150,000 francs, which was enough for him to reserve his strength.

Watching Gribeovie leave, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. However, the laughter sounded so strange that even Brion himself felt a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect your talent in drills to be so superb, Duke. Languedot smiled and picked up a glass of wine: "Gribois, a gambler who has lost a red eye, can't do it without planting." Just pity this guy. ”

The corners of Brion's mouth raised: "Killing decisively, you taught me." I'm sure you also understand that Gribovis is not such a simple person to surrender to me. It's like a fierce horse, if you want to tame it, you have to show it what you are capable of. Gribovie's talent is definitely no less than that of Maxima, and his ambition is definitely not small. ”

"Well, I wish us all the best. Languedot had a great time clinking glasses with Briand.

"Thank you. ”

。。。。。。。

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ From today, the Ambrila Group will be integrated into the business system of the City of Lyon. What we need to ensure is everyone's benefit, and now we will give you back what you want. All we need is your support for our group!"

Since the temporary peace between Gribois and Briand, Gribois began to specialize in the production of rifles on the drawings, and since the 300,000 francs had already arrived, he was even more convinced of this. As for Brion, he kept his promise.

After all, the only thing he has to deal with or secretly weaken is Gribois, and the other capitalists must have changed their loyalty to Gribois because of this disaster.

This time, the market monopoly brought by the Ambrila group and the financial turmoil have dealt a devastating blow to the business community in Lyon, and about one-third of the companies have gone bankrupt or been acquired by Ambrila. A large proportion of the remaining two-thirds are on the verge of collapse, but not yet.

However, if they cannot get new capital turnover in the near future, bankruptcy and closure will be their fate.

However, Gribeau, who had been leading the business community of Lyon before, did not stand up for everyone to resist the market shock like a savior, but went to Briand for peace talks. Of course, this matter is logically confidential, but if it is kept secret, how can the hearts of the capitalists fall to Brion?

Thanks to Skynet, now all the capitalists of Lyon know about it. All the capitalists looked at him with a new contempt for this businessman who was the first to provoke a commercial war and who could pat himself on the back in the end.

The merchants, on the other hand, were very friendly with Brion, at the height of the commercial wars. Almost everyone cursed the vampire, but as soon as the war ended, the merchants, knowing Ambrila's terrifying prowess, immediately switched to their supporters.

After all, they have been younger brothers for more than ten years, and instead of watching their boss being beaten up, it is better to choose the stronger one to be the boss.

Briand, of course, understood this, and in order to show his tolerance for merchants, he ordered the lifting of the lending regulations in the banking world. And it is possible to give loans to all small and medium-sized capitalists not exceeding 120,000 francs, and the repayment period and interest are very relaxed. This is undoubtedly a relief for those businessmen who have just been cornered.

What is touching in the world in this world is nothing more than some small favors. In the eyes of the bourgeoisie, favor is financial aid, and Brion was able to help businessmen who were enemies of him so generously, which is an unvarnished reflection of Brion's benevolence.

This era is hypocritical, and Brion, as a political tycoon, definitely doesn't mind putting a hypocritical image on himself.

Looking at the capitalists who were gradually gathering towards him, Brion had a trace of worry: "There are so many merchants in the city of Lyon who want to invest in me, but these are too chaotic, and there is no effective system to restrain these merchants. ”

Languedotte, who was on the sidelines, immediately suggested: "Why don't we build a Lyon City Chamber of Commerce that specializes in uniting businessmen, and formally use the government to determine our leadership position in the business community of Lyon." As for Gribois, history has chosen us, and his enterprise is nothing more than a stepping stone. ”

Soon, on June 7, everything was in place. The municipality accepted Briand's request and officially declared the legitimacy of the Lyon City Chamber of Commerce and recognized Brion, President of the Ambrila Group, as the legitimate president of the Lyon City Chamber of Commerce, responsible for the management and leadership of all capital companies.

The assistance of the Banque de France, the support of the government authorities, and the crumbling Gribois Group. The answer in the minds of the businessmen is clear, plus their businesses do need capital. In this case, they have to look for a new business giant to keep their assets.

With the official establishment of the Chamber of Commerce in Lyon, all the merchants who would take care of their former master, Gribovie, have joined the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to being able to regain support, there is also the benefit of reducing the government's income tax revenue. Taxes were not a small amount, and Louis XVI's measures were ineffective, and the political turmoil in France, coupled with the protection of officials and officials, led to local corruption. Those merchants couldn't stand such naked robberies.

For Brion, such benefits come at a cost. Almost as soon as the businessmen joined the Chamber of Commerce, Brion announced on behalf of the government that all companies that had a relationship with the Gribois Group would be classified as public-private partnerships.

In fact, the government pays for the shares of businessmen's enterprises, and the government's shares account for 50 percent of the private enterprises. It can be said that there are good and bad things, and the advantage is that you can get a large amount of cash and revitalize the business, but basically the businessman suffers. Because from now on, the company is no longer yours alone, which means that half of the money earned belongs to the government.

Of course, Brion will not let go of such an opportunity for merger, and he uses his prestige in the government to put a lot of money into the Chamber's enterprises. So the businessmen had forty percent of the shares, the government forty percent, and Brion controlled twenty percent of the shares.

In this way, Brion became the second largest shareholder of the various companies in Lyon. Coupled with the fact that the government was at his disposal, the young duke became the de facto ruler of the business community in Lyon. Viscount Friuli certainly understood that Brion's appetite was terrifying this time, but he still didn't meddle in the fate of his predecessor, Viscount Poitou.

Brion also took into account his ideas, and assured him that Viscount Friuli could serve several consecutive terms as mayor. Of course, for the imminent French Revolution, it is not known whether Friuli will survive or not.

In short, Brion has really mastered the lifeblood of the bourgeoisie, as well as the government and the Senate. All businessmen have to look to him, and the city government will rely on him because of economic problems.

。。。。。。。

At the same time, a howl of despair was heard from Gribois's office.

"What! The Ferguson rifles weren't as standard? That was the drawing Brion gave me。。。。。! Gribovis glared at the bloodshot eyes, "Brion, this bitch, he made me lose all my money! The 300,000 francs in compensation。。。。。。 ”

Looking at the stunned secretary, Gribeov seemed to have found a life-saving straw: "By the way, we... We still had a chance, and Briand gave me three hundred thousand francs... Yes, that's right, three hundred thousand francs. ”

Just when Gribois still had a glimmer of luck, a hurried voice instantly destroyed his heart.

"Oh no, Mr. Brion, the president of the Ambrila Group, contacted the government and has frozen our group's account on suspicion of tax evasion!

"What. Gribois collapsed in his chair with both legs. What did he think of at this time? That's right, death, and he wanted to end himself with death as soon as possible. In the past ten years, he has never been defeated, and now he is on a path of no return that is defined as a loser.

"Sir, maybe we really have one more chance. ”

"What do you mean?" said Gribois, looking at the secretary.

The secretary pushed his glasses: "The real surrender to Mr. Brion, of course, the life and death of the group is in his hands." ”

"Tou Cheng。。。。。 ”
