Basilio, who received the telegram, looked down and quickly read the contents of the telegram, then looked up again at Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"What to do, you don't need me to teach you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke slowly, and said to Basilio in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Basilio hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured, "I will find the right people for them as soon as possible!" ”

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, and said in the same tone as usual: "This matter will be handed over to you!" ”

Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's words fell, Basilio sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte resigned.

After Basilio left, Jérôme. Bonaparte quickly opened the drawer under the desk, and took out a plain-looking notebook from the bottom of the drawer, and then opened the notebook and looked through it, muttering quietly: "I remember that I did write it down!" ”

After looking back and forth a few times, Jérôme. Bonaparte finally found the page he thought he had found.

Jérôme. The page that Bonaparte turned to was filled with dense simplified Chinese characters, not to mention the French, even the current Qingguo scholars, who could only understand the contents by half-guessing.

"Gabon! Gabon! "Jérôme. Bonaparte's fingers kept sliding over it, and soon he found what he was looking for, and he said excitedly, "That's right! That's it! ”

I saw that Jérôme. The line on which Bonaparte used his finger read: Gabon is rich in oil, timber and manganese ore, as well as scarce resources such as iron ore and gold.

"I'm not mistaken!" Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered to himself as he closed his notebook and put it back in the lowest drawer.

If Jérôme. Bonaparte did not guess the words of Jérôme. The open-pit mine in Patterson's mouth is probably manganese ore.

Since the gold mines did not need to send specialists to the mines, the people in the colonies were enough to determine the gold content of the mines.

Once it is confirmed that it is a manganese ore mine, then the price of steel in France will be lowered by another notch on the original basis.

Moreover, those manganese ores can not only be used to meet domestic production needs, but also to earn a certain amount of foreign exchange for France.

As far as the current Europe is concerned, is there any country that has not used the products used by Jérôme. Bonaparte's "Bonaparte converter" designed "himself" for steelmaking.

The process of ferromanganese desulfurization is naturally indispensable for them, so they have to buy a large amount of manganese ore from France.

Of course, Jérôme. Bonaparte's doing so would likewise lead to a problem.

That is, the countries of Europe, especially the Kingdom of Britain, will set their sights on Central Africa much earlier than history.

Those countries that originally had some advantages in Central Africa (e.g., the Kingdom of Portugal) will also have a sense of crisis because of Britain's accession, and their expansion will be accelerated.

All in all, Central Africa will be the target of competition for some time to come.

However, given the harsh environment in Central Africa, and the fact that the Kingdom of Britain will begin to suppress India in the next one to two years, it is very likely that they will not take action against the Central African region in one to two years.

In other words, France's short-term rival is still the Kingdom of Portugal.

Thinking of the scorching scenario that the Kingdom of Britain might face in the next year or two, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but smile, he shook his head and said to himself, "I really hope that the Qajar dynasty can hold out for a while!" If they can survive the great Indian uprising, then the Kingdom of Britain will really face a crisis. ”

He paused, sighed, and said, "Hey! It's just a pity that this is just wishful thinking on my part! ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed his head again and continued his work.

On the other hand, by Jérôme. Basilio, to whom Bonaparte entrusted him, did not fail Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him to go to the Polytechnique in person to invite the geology professor there, and promised that if he wanted to go to Libreville, the geology professor would be treated as well as the school.

At the same time, NORINCO Paris will reward him with another sum of money.

Although Basilio has resigned as general manager of NORINCO, his influence in NORINCO has not diminished.

Many people are still willing to follow Basilio's orders and report to him.

The reason for this is that Basilio was transferred from NORINCO to the Duyinleri Palace, which is a promotion.

Now that Basilio has been promoted, there is no reason for the cronies who were originally attached to his wing to betray him.

After all, although Basilio was not in the same system as them, Basilio had more contact with the emperor, and the Paris North Industries group belonged to Jérôme. Bonaparte's private property.

Therefore, Basilio can still give NORINCO a certain influence.

However, Basilio will not use these powers in the open.

In the final analysis, NORINCO was owned by the emperor and the Bonaparte family, and he had been managing on behalf of him as general manager, and now he had no reason to manage it as a steward.

If Basilio interferes too much with the personnel of the North Industries Group, he will not be criticized by the emperor.

When the time comes, not to mention the North Industries Group, even he, the head of Du Yin Leli Palace, may not be able to keep it.

Basilio has never forgotten that the nominal head of the Palazzo Douilleri is Vilnia, and he is only "assisting" Vilnia in the management of the Palazzo Douileri.

If Vilnia, as the head of the palace, suddenly needs help one day, then Basilio's "director" can be regarded as the end of it.

And Basilio said that he did not have any rights to award a sum of money to the geology professor on behalf of NORINCO.

It's just that he is confident that he can get the North Industries Group to pay this money.

After listening to Basilio's promise, the geology professor was also a little moved.

Although it is his dream to teach and educate people, as long as there is enough money, his dream can also be put aside first.

"What do you think, Professor?" Basilio looked at the geology professor with a smile on his face and said to him softly.

"I ......" the geology professor hesitated for a long time, and he made up his mind for a long time.

Just then, a voice came from the door of the geology professor's office, "The professor can't come with you!" ”

The geology professor and Basilio turned to look at the door, and it turned out to be the head of the École Polytechnique in Paris, standing in Noh.

"Hello!" Basilio said to the head of the department in a deferential manner.

For everyone who has culture and social status, Basilio maintains enough respect.

"Boss Basilio, Professor Charles can't leave with you!" The head of the department went into the room and said a word to Basilio.

"Why?" Basilio asked rhetorically.

"Because Professor Charles is the most competent professor in our entire geology specialty! If he leaves, it will cause great losses to the entire geology profession! The head of the department responded to Basilio sincerely?

"If I hadn't admired Professor Charles' abilities, I wouldn't have come here to invite him personally!" Basilio still smiled and replied to the head of the department.

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask what you are inviting Professor Charles for?" The head of the department asked Basilio again.

After hesitating for a moment, Bahiri replied truthfully to the head of the department, "We have discovered a mine in the colony, so we would like to invite Professor Charles to come and guide him. ”

After listening to this, the head of the department responded to Basilio with a sincere expression: "Your Excellency, with all due respect! It doesn't take any effort from Professor Charles, any of us who are just a teacher, or even a geology graduate, can do the job! ”

"Really?" Basilio looked at the head of the department suspiciously.

"Of course!" Seeing the drama, the head of the department hurriedly said to Basilio: "Every student who can graduate from our school is an excellent talent!"

Their knowledge of ore is not inferior to that of our teachers, and our teachers are also excellent people.

Mr. Basilio, you don't need to let Professor Charles go at all.

Professor Charles's words in the past will cost us a lot of students throughout France. ”

"In that case, forget it!" Basilio shrugged his shoulders before addressing Professor Charles, "Sorry to interrupt your time!" ”

"Nothing!" Professor Charles shook his head and replied to Basilio, "Actually, I have to thank you!" ”

"Thank me?" Basilio was stunned for a few seconds and asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to thank me?" ”

Professor Charles let out a breath and said to Basilio: "I want to thank you for strengthening my heart to teach and educate!" Just now, I almost agreed to go with you! ”

"Actually, it's not too late to say yes!" Basilio said half-jokingly, half-seriously, to Professor Charles.

"Forget it!" Professor Charles shook his head and refused, "I'd better keep my old bones at school and continue to work!" The colony is not for me! ”

"Then I can't help it!" Basilio replied to Professor Charles.

Subsequently, on the recommendation of the head of the department, Basilio "packed" a teacher of geology and several graduating students.

A few days later, the teacher and the graduating students traveled south by train to Marseille, where they met the messenger who had been waiting in Marseille.

When the two men had met each other, the messenger asked them: "All are here!" ”

The teacher and the graduating student glanced at each other, nodded to the messenger, and said, "It's all here!" ”

"That's good! Let's take a boat now! ”
