Chapter 1403 Traitors also need qualifications
The hall of King Kiel is brightly lit and resplendent in gold.
Under the bright lights, the aristocratic officials of the Kingdom of Kiel surrounded Chairman Leo and vied with each other.
The hall was thunderous and full of laughter for a while.
At the same time, they seem to have forgotten the King William VII standing not far away, the real King of Kiel.
At this moment, King William VII's smile was very ugly, and when he looked at the words, it was like crying, and it could be seen that His Majesty the King was really in a bad mood.
To the nobles, Director Leo, who was surrounded by them, was as cute as an angel, and he fell from the sky with gold coins in his pocket to save them from their misery.
But to him, the chubby Chairman Leo is simply a demon with horns on his head and a tail on his ass.
King Wilhelm VII was eager to kick the annoying little boy out. What he brought with him was a life-saving medicine, a noose ready to strangle him.
Looking at the aristocratic officials in front of him who complimented Leo like a godfather, William VII couldn't wait to take a knife in his own hand, hack them to death one by one, raid their homes, exterminate their clan, and sell their wives and children......
But he could only lust in his heart, and William VII knew that he was not so capable.
If the Ruman Empire was a private enterprise, and Emperor Rudron had full ownership, and if there was nothing to say within the company, then the Kingdom of Kiel was a joint-stock limited liability company.
William VII holds a majority stake and is chairman of the company, but the other shareholders combine to share a significant share. The country's large and small aristocrats also had their own territory.
This is also the sorrow of small and medium-sized countries. Internal forces are complex. The external interference forces are strong, the local aristocracy is strong, and the tail is not lost. Frequent confrontation with the central government at the local level.
The king is simply a bag of anger, and in order to take care of the overall situation, more often than not, he has to make trade-offs and balances.
On the contrary, the big countries are all centralized, because countries with weak central power cannot form effective control over the localities. It has long been divided and disintegrated.
The affairs of the Kingdom of Kiel are not the final decision of the Kingdom of William VII alone. Today he was also forced.
He clearly knew in his heart that with the urine nature of the evil capitalists of the Flying Eagle Group, he would be infamous as a traitor tomorrow if he came today. But......
But if he doesn't come today, tomorrow they will incite the younger brothers below to make a coup d'Γ©tat, and the day after tomorrow the bitches will push a new king out.
At that time, even if he wants to betray the country again, there will be no way.
There was sea water on one side, flames on the other, and he walked on a wire rope. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover.
At this time. After Chairman Lei Er smiled and finished politely with the nobles, he only felt that his voice was almost hoarse. My hands hurt, and I secretly said in my heart: I said so many words against my heart today, I will definitely have nightmares at night, really, why do I have to run by myself, hurry up and go home after doing it.
He stepped aside, pulled out his pocket watch in 24-carat solid gold with 387 carats of diamonds, and opened it by the bright lights of the palace.
Suddenly, a light like a 200,000-kilowatt welding machine burst out from his hand, and everyone present couldn't open their eyes.
The noise in the hall suddenly stopped.
After a long while, they saw the pocket watch in Lei Erye's hand. Illuminated by the light, the diamonds on it reflect a dazzling brilliance.
Looking at the chubby little boy, and then at the pocket watch in his hand, all the nobles couldn't help but twitch in their hearts. Then he secretly scolded in his heart: This damn big dog~!
The pocket watch in his hand alone was enough to cover the total tax revenue of the kingdom for half a year.
Moreover, what makes everyone ashamed is that all the assets of Second Master Lei were not obtained by relying on the country's wealth, but by his earnest efforts with one hand and one foot.
Maybe he didn't seem to be aware of everyone's envy and jealousy, or maybe he was used to being in the envious and jealous gaze of others, Lei Er Ye didn't care at all, just opened the cover casually and took a look.
Before I knew it, it was already past 9:40.
He rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Although he came on a high-class cargo such as a war fortress, he was also quite tired from such a long journey, not to mention, Catherine had always made it mandatory for him to go to bed before nine o'clock at night.
Originally, at this time, he was already going to bed, but now there are so many sheep...... Bah, so many nobles are all around him, and they are scrambling to pat their ass.
Although Lei Erye has always liked to play hooligans, he is still very serious as the chairman, and he will never slack off on these customers and potential customers.
He wiped his eyes with his hand, then beat his spirits, turned to look at King William VII, and said, "Dear Majesty, you know that there is a famous saying in the empire now, time is money.
So...... Let's sign a contract as much as possible. β
When the nobles present heard this, they immediately let out a low voice of approval. This little sheep is sent to the door by itself, and the slaughter is started one day earlier, so that everyone can eat it one day earlier.
King William VII raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, waiting for them to all bow their heads under his gaze, and then looked at Leo, forced a laugh, and said: "Don't worry, chairman, you are far away, take a rest first, and we will prepare to sign a contract tomorrow." β
Second Master Lei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired, I've slept all the way." β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.
King William VII smiled awkwardly and said, "There are still some technical questions, I need to consult our experts, it will take a little time." β
Second Master Lei suddenly felt a burst of light in his heart, and he was very dissatisfied with this guy's grinding and chirping attitude, and said secretly in his heart: The chairman of this board of directors is hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, how can there be that demon time to accompany you to fight with you, my girlfriend is still waiting for me to go back to eat.
Under the rage. Second Master Lei's temper is about to attack. Reaching for the briefcase next to him. I was going to take out the contract at that time, pat William VII on it, and then said domineeringly: I don't understand that, I will sue you, second master.
But at this time, Fiona walked up with a light lotus step, then raised the wine glass in her hand, and first greeted King William with a smile. Then her beautiful eyes rolled and she quietly glared at Leo to stop Chairman Leo from going crazy on the spot.
If Chairman Leo is going to blow up, maybe something will happen, and it will definitely not end well anyway, Fiona's purpose is to watch Leo.
Under Fiona's beautiful gaze, Chairman Leore had no choice but to compromise.
He waved his hand angrily and said, "Okay, okay, then we'll sign it tomorrow." Sign early and sign late, don't you have to sign all? It's all a waste of time.
As a conscientious capitalist. I really don't understand you boring politicians, forget it. It was late too, so I went back to sleep......"
Muttering discontentedly, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
Declining King William VII's repeated offers to arrange accommodation for him, Leo and Fiona moved directly into the headquarters of the Allied forces in Kirk.
What are you kidding, when Second Master Lei used to follow Lorraine, he didn't play with other people's prism doors, steal information when he had nothing to do, listen to a corner, touch a wallet or something. In the CIA, he is also a well-known number one person.
When he arrived in this place, if he was not careful, he would let that country bun play with him a prismatic door, not only would he lose his own face, but he would lose Lorraine's face, and even the face of the empire.
After returning to the residence, Chairman Leo was still indignant, slammed the four-hundred-page contract on the table, fell on the sofa in a huff, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and said: "That old guy is so annoying. β
Xiao Bai immediately nodded up and down next to him, and shared the same hatred with the boss.
Fiona chuckled, picked up the contract on the table and shook it, and said, "Don't look at what conditions you offer, he can agree lightly." β
Chairman Leo pursed his lips and said, "I am obviously for their good, and I can guarantee that this contract is very fair and reasonable no matter which clause." β
"Yo~~" Fiona covered her mouth and smiled, "Why, your capitalist conscience has really awakened?"
Chairman Leo stiffened his neck and said domineeringly: "Although I am a capitalist, I also have a conscience. Believe it or not, my heart is beating for the future of humanity......"
"Phew~!" Fiona immediately became disgusted, smacked him hard, and said, "You give me less learning from Lorraine's bastard." It's not enough of a thing, and he talks nonsense all day long. I'm not afraid that God will thunder and slash you, a little rascal. β
After speaking, he reached out and stroked his plump breasts, and went down vigorously.
Leo couldn't help blinking, wondering why this woman had such a big reaction, and then said: "If God wants to really thunder and split, he will also split the tall one first, and there is a boss there to stand on top, what am I afraid of?"
"Okay," Fiona couldn't help but pause, then spread her hands and said, "Conscientious capitalist, let me ask you, what can this Flying Eagle Group say about stationing security guards along the railway line to protect the safety of the transportation line?"
Chairman Leo said confidently: "I spent tens of millions of dollars to build the railway, of course, to ensure the safety of transportation, you don't know, the world is not peaceful, car bandits and road blockers are everywhere."
If I don't garrison...... Phew, there is no security guard to protect the railway line, a car of goods will be robbed clean without waiting for Ruman, maybe even the locomotive will be dismantled and sold scrap iron, and I will lose my pants in two trips~!
Fiona nodded and said, "Even if you have a point, there are too many robbers on the road now." β
Even in the territory of the Ruman Empire, there are inevitably bandits and robbers, not to mention other countries, basically every mountain and dense forest, a good man must open a cabinet, gather in the mountains and forests, and do business without capital.
In the future, the railways of the Flying Eagle Group will be spread all over the mainland, and security will indeed be a big problem.
"But," Fiona said, "The garrison along the railway, oh no, it's the security guards, and the garrison fee for the security guards along the railroad has to be borne locally, which is a bit of a bully, right?"
Chairman Leo snorted coldly and said: "I've suppressed the bandits for you, what else are they unhappy about, we railway security guards are not protecting the safety of the place." They're just contributing some money.
The Boss said. There is a precedent for this. At that time, the people who were stationed in the country of rice paid for the military expenses of the country. I haven't asked them for the clothes, weapons, and training fees, and I'm already bleeding profusely. β
Since Lorraine had said it, Fiona could only roll her eyes and say, "Even if the railway is good, it will also be beneficial to the places along the line, and they will not resist."
The Eagle Group loan is secured by a customs mortgage. What do you mean about this?"
"Of course I have to guarantee the money I lend them money, otherwise what if he runs away with my money?" Chairman Leo waved his fist and shouted loudly: "Do you think there is anything else that can be mortgaged in this kind of country?
The tariff can also collect some money every year. β
"But look here. Fiona pointed to the contract and said, "You have stipulated here that the two sides are the most favored countries in trade with each other, and the tariffs on all import and export commodities of both sides shall not exceed five percent. β
Chairman Leo said indifferently: "Pay it back slowly, you can always pay it back." β
"I'm afraid that in the future, King Kiel's annual tariff revenue. It's not as high as the interest rate on the loan. Fiona said with a smile.
Chairman Leo was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head. With an innocent expression, he said, "This is determined by the experts below, I don't know much." β
"I don't know how careful you are. Fiona knocked on Leo's door and said, "You give them loans, but some of them are paid in kind with grain, tools, water conservancy and irrigation facilities, materials, etc., and they repay the loans with grain and raw materials. β
Ordinary people can only see the benefits of repaying debts with goods, and are not aware of the scissors difference in their exploitation, which belongs to advanced economics in this era.
Leo laughed dryly, suddenly remembered that something was wrong, glared at Fiona fiercely, and said, "Eldest sister, how can you speak for outsiders." β
Fiona raised her hand and gave Leo a violent shudder, and said angrily: "Who do you say I am, I just sue you why the king is unwilling to sign."
After signing this contract, their entire country is equivalent to working for the Flying Eagle Group. β
Leo rubbed his round chin and said, "What do you mean, that guy from William VII won't sign?"
"He dare~!" Fiona raised her eyebrows, her tiger body shook, and she said domineeringly, and the frightened Leo and Xiaobai shrank their necks at the same time.
How to say that the Flying Eagle Group is also her boyfriend's, and she also has some shares in it, although Fiona is not very keen on making money, but who dares to stand in the way of the Flying Eagle Group to make money, it is still different from Dai Tian's hatred.
Fiona sneered and said, "Unless he, the king, doesn't want to do it." We have suffered 30,000 or 40,000 casualties in the Kingdom of Kiel, how can he send them without a word.
He didn't sign it, and some people were willing to sign it for him. β
"Our soldiers can't die in vain~!" Chairman Leo nodded vigorously and said, "But replacing a king is not so strict, right? At least we have to wait for the war to end." β
Fiona smiled proudly, although she was not a qualified capitalist, but she was a qualified aristocratic politician, and said: "No need, he is in the way of others, if you release your dissatisfaction with him now, someone will soon come to the door to show their loyalty and want to take his throne." β
Chairman Leo frowned, seriously thinking about the risks and benefits of replacing a king, shook his head after a moment, and said, "It's very troublesome to operate, and if things don't get things right, it's difficult to finish." β
Fiona rubbed Leo's head and said, "When it comes to conspiracy, you're too far away, troublesome?"
It's not a hassle at all~!"
Women are conspirators by nature.
Then he said: "What is the basis of the coup?"
"Army~!" said Chairman Leo without hesitation.
Fiona slapped her palm and said, "Whose army is in Kirk City, and even in the entire Kingdom of Kiel?"
Leo wrenched his fingers and said, "Except for some of the Maple Leaf Danlin people, the rest are from the Holy See, as well as a few of our troops." β
Fiona sneered and said, "The entire region is under our control, if it is a coup d'Γ©tat, who can stop us?"
"So...... him?" Chairman Leo was already a little moved.
"No," Fiona waved her hand and said, "This truth will not be understood by William VII." β
Early the next morning, Chairman Leo was invited to the venue where the pre-ceremony was held.
The venue was very grandly arranged, which showed that it was done with care, and the princes and nobles of the Kiel Kingdom, civil and military officials were all present, dressed up, as if it was a heavy festival.
King William VII smiled and introduced Chairman Leo into the venue, with a cordial and warm attitude, almost like yesterday's lukewarm.
When King William was speaking, Fiona quietly pulled Leo, glanced at King William, and whispered, "It seems that this guy has completely figured it out." β
Leo smiled knowingly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The escort behind the two suddenly laughed in a low voice, and said behind the two of them: "I heard that the sound of glass breaking came from the palace last night, and it rang in the middle of the night. β
Leo looked at King William VII and smiled secretly, this guy must be so angry that he smashed things.
Then the two sides officially began to sign, in quadruplicate, one for the Flying Eagle Group, one for the Kingdom of Kiel, and one for the United Nations and the Vatino.
King William VII and Leo respectively wrote their names on a few points of paper, and then the entourage held the big seal, Chairman Leo grabbed the big seal with both hands and pressed it in the seal box, then held it high and slapped it on the contract hard, making a loud "bang".
William VII was so shocked that he almost jumped.
It wasn't until Leo stamped his head on the contract, and then stared straight at him with a pair of big eyes, that William VII seemed to suddenly come to his senses, picked up the big seal, and slowly pressed the seal.
After doing this, William VII stood up resolutely, pinched Chairman Leo's chubby little hand and shook it vigorously, and finally showed a wry smile and said, "Happy cooperation." β
"It was a pleasure to work with. Chairman Leo smiled triumphantly and said, "The first batch of 1 million loans will arrive today, please pay attention to it." β
The kingdom of William VII looked at Leo's white and tender round face, and secretly lamented, why did the Ruman Empire have a Lorraine and Leo.
But he also accepted his fate, he couldn't fight, he only comforted himself in his heart, and said secretly: At least I sold myself for a good price. (To be continued.) )
