Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Valewski for a moment, and couldn't help muttering inwardly.

Emir. Perel? Wasn't he supposed to stay in Paris? How did you get here? Mo is not the Emir of the Industrial Bank. What's the big deal with Perel...... It shouldn't be!

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that if the Société Générale really had operational problems, the eyes he had placed in the Société Générale would definitely pass on the information to him as soon as possible, and the mining of the gold mines in California was second only to the coup d'état, and the slightest carelessness of the French capital would usher in the sniping of the New World capital.

Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his head suspiciously, stared at Valevsky for a moment with a pair of gray-blue eyes, then nodded, and said in the usual tone: "Got it, let Mr. Emile in!" ”

"Yes!"

Valewski listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte's order invited the emir. Perel entered the study.

Looking at the back of Valevsky's departure, Jérôme. Bonaparte got up from his blue velvet cushioned chair, stepped on the Persian red carpet laid on the floor, and sat down on the couch with armrests and cushions to wait for the emir. Perel's arrival.

It was not long before Valevsky replaced the president of the Industrial Bank, Emir Brown. Perel led to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Your Majesty!" Emile in a plain black suit, a top hat and a briefcase made of cowhide under his arm. Perel took off his hat and politely rushed to the Röma. Bonaparte bowed and continued: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting you while you are on vacation!" ”

"Sit down and talk! Mr. Emir! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and patted the white velvet cushion beside him with his right hand to signal to the emile. Perel sat down.

"Yes!" Emir. Perel nodded and stood at the emir. Seeing this, Valewski, who was next to Perel, helped the emir. Perrell placed the top hat on the shelf.

Emir. Perel sat upright in Jérôme. On the sofa opposite Bonaparte, he was about to speak, when Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice from the emile. Perel came to his ears: "Mr. Valewski, two coffees!" ”

Only in private places, Jérôme. Bonaparte would have liked to call Valewski his cousin.

Of course, sometimes it is inevitable to call it a mix.

"Yes!" Will Emir. Valewski, who had Perel's top hat on the shelf, hurriedly responded, and then left the study with a steady pace.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't have to be like this!" Emir. Perel vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte's "courtesy" showed a deferential expression.

"Nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte put on a look of course, and soon he got to the point: "Monsieur Emile, I wonder what you are looking for me today?" ”

Emir. Perel opened the briefcase, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the emile curiously. Perel's briefcase, thanks to Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Emile. Perel is very close to Jérôme. Bonaparte faintly saw that inside the briefcase were two sealed documents.

"Your Majesty, this is the plan for the procurement of iron mines in Nancy and the plan for the use of blast furnaces...... "Emile. Perel handed over the sealing solution to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "These are my brother Isaac. Perelto, I handed it over to you! ”

Since 1849 Jérôme. Bonaparte and Eugène. Schneider, Emile. After Perel's successive conversations at the Élysée Palace, the Emile. Perel's younger brother Isaac. Perel and Eugène. Schneider began to build the steel industry in Nancy and Strasbourg.

Due to the entrenched German landed aristocracy in Alsace and Lorraine, his plans did not go as smoothly as planned.

But on the whole, it's pretty decent.

Jérôme. Bonaparte took the plan and put it aside and said: "I don't want to know the specific data, I just want to know where the Nancy region has been." ”

"Your Majesty, I have made an agreement with the vast majority of the iron ore owners in the Lorraine region to supply us with iron ore! The blast furnace is expected to be fully operational by the end of the year...... "Emir. Perel one by one for Jérôme. Bonaparte was puzzled.

After listening to the emir. Perel's words, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head slightly and responded, "That's not enough!" It's not enough to get the Lorraine region to cooperate with us, I need you to be able to organize them and create a private iron ore association. When the time comes, the authorities will also have an excuse to intervene. ”

Emir. After thinking for a moment, Perel asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is it like the previous North Industries Group?" ”

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to the emile. Perel said: "We have to keep the pricing power of iron ore firmly in our hands! ”

Since France is a country that lacks coal and iron ore is on the front line, the price of iron ore in Lorraine far exceeds that of Prussia.

This is again through a slight government regulation of prices, and if it is not restricted, the iron ore mines in the Lorraine region are bound to further squeeze industrial profits.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no capitalist who will be willing to invest so much money in industry.

Only by controlling the price of Central American fruits was controlled by the United Fruit Company manufactured by the United States in Central America, he also had to control the price of iron ore in France to make capital profitable, so as to be able to drive the circulation.

The only difference is that the power of the United Fruit Company comes from the shareholders, and the power of the "Iron Ore Federation" comes only from the president.

The power of the former is not at all as strong as that of the latter.

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Emir. Perel responded.

At that moment, Valewski was holding a silver tray with a steaming coffee pot and two coffee cups carved with blue and white decorations.

Valevsky placed the coffee pot and coffee cup on the mahogany square table in front of them. Bonaparte and the Emile. After making a cup of coffee, Perel stood dignified on the sofa and waited for Jérôme. Bonaparte's dictation.

Jérôme. Bonaparte picked up the steaming coffee cup, took a sip, and then asked, "Is there anything else going on, Monsieur Emile?" You can say it all together! ”

"That's right!" Emir. Perel took out a document from his briefcase again, "This is the income and expenditure of the Industrial Bank, and the progress of our gold mines in the United States!" ”

Stroking the material in his hand that was half the thickness of the language textbook of later generations, Jérôme. A hint of boredom flashed across Bonaparte's face, he didn't need the so-called data, he needed the emir. Perel explained to him what was really going on.

"Mr. Emir, are you in need of any help from the American mines?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Emile directly. Perel.

"That's right! Our manpower in the mines has been reduced day by day, and many Germans do not want us to work! "Emir. Perel contemplated Jérôme with a low and a hint of weakness. Bonaparte continued: "Because the gold content in the mining area there is not low, a large number of people are needed...... So I'm hoping to get some people from France to go to California to mine! ”

"Lack of manpower?" Jérôme. Bonaparte got up and paced for the meeting, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes shaking his head, and muttering to his emir. The Perel Police Department knows how to speak.

In the emir. Perel's slightly apprehensive expression in the Jérôme. Bonaparte finally stopped, and he turned his gaze to the emile. Perel asked with a serious expression, "How many people are needed?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's inquiry made the emile. Perel's hanging heart finally fell, and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "About a thousand people!" ”

"More than a thousand!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's face changed slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued: "This is not a small amount! I'm afraid that a scandal will break out if it doesn't make trouble! ”

If Jérôme. If Bonaparte had a choice, he would have sent a group of prisoners to California in the name of atonement.

But if he does, he will probably face all kinds of scandals.

The opposition will criticize him for trying to restore slavery, and may even implicate the emperor in the scriptures.

"We have to be gentle!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to himself.

At this moment, a flash of light came from Jérôme. Bonaparte's mind flashed through him, and he suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"We can issue lottery tickets!" Jérôme. Bonaparte to the Emile. "The name of the lottery could be called the 'Gold Bar Lottery', and each ticket was priced at 1 franc. We can claim that anyone who buys a lottery ticket will have the opportunity to travel to the New World, and then part of the funds will be used to build the Cité Souvrières [Workers' Village], so that we can avoid the risks of the lottery and send some of the gold diggers with dreams to the New World. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds! ”

According to the Constitution of the Second Republic: no one can issue a lottery except for a lottery for the purpose of relief.

"You're right!" Emir. Perel complimented that he had not thought of using the lottery to solicit French people to the New World, but that the issuance of the lottery required the president's approval.

"There are a lot of opportunities to make a fortune in the New World, I hope they can cherish it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down again and said.

"That's right! I'm sure they will thank you for your kindness! "Emir. Perel chimed in.

The two men who used the lottery to fool the proletarians into going to the New World tacitly ignored the mortality rate in the western part of the New World.

After all, in the 19th century, anything could happen and accidents could happen, and maybe they could make their way out of the New World.

The "Gold Bar Lottery" program was approved by Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Emile. Perel co-developed it and it took two days to complete.
