Chapter 1220: Railway Tycoon 2 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After seeing the grand blueprint revealed by Leo, Princess Lulu seemed a little worried for a while.
This little white chubby little dead fat man~!
Although he is not very old, the great ambition displayed in his words and deeds has embarrassed almost all the heroes and heroes on the earth.
As the princess of the elven kingdom and the elite education of the royal system, she clearly knows the importance of transportation - the reason why the elven kingdom can accumulate wealth and have today's prosperity is inseparable from their developed sea shipping.
Moreover, she is also sensitive to the great wealth and business opportunities contained in this railway.
Once this railway is completed, the ties between countries will be strengthened, and the liquidity of commodity trade will be greatly enhanced, then the strength of each country will inevitably increase with the strength of Chapter 1220 Railway Tycoon 2 (asking for a monthly ticket).
Under the rise and fall, the elven kingdom far away from abroad will gradually become backward, and even become a second-rate and third-rate country.
If Leo's earth-shattering plan is just a vague and unrealizable dream built on paper, then it would be fine.
But on the contrary, although his plan seems crazy, Princess Lulu, with the intuition cultivated by years of knowledge, suddenly realized that this plan is quite feasible~!
How old is this little dead fat man?
He has already begun to implement his imperial hegemony and conquer the world step by step~!
In comparison, the royal children of the elven king who only know how to drink, sing, and soak chicks are all a bunch of pure rice buckets.
Even though there are two or three excellent ones, they are just a slightly better rice bucket, and they only know how to intrigue all day long, follow behind the corners of women's skirts, and play some elegant court politics.
Their vision and insight were only focused on the elven kingdom, and only the place where the aselas palace was a little bigger.
It's like a bunch of toads fighting in a stinking ditch that didn't climb ashore at all and open their eyes. Take a good look at Chapter 1220 Railway Tycoon 2 (ask for a monthly pass) and see how big the world really is.
Although Princess Lulu came out this time, she was very broad-minded and clearly knew how prosperous the human world was.
But...... The more she thought about it, the more she felt lost, and she almost turned away.
However, at this time, Leo's conversation was strong.
It was rare for him to speak to anyone about his great plans. It's easy to get an audience, so naturally you can't let it go. Immediately stood in front of the map, picked up a slender baton, pointed to the map, and talked endlessly about his future railway empire.
"This train is definitely a good thing.
As long as there are enough locomotives, a railway can theoretically run dozens of trains at the same time. Leo pointed to the map. "As the infrastructure equipment of the railway, sleepers and rails are an investment that will benefit you for a lifetime.
Only a small maintenance fee is required each year. It's even lower than the maintenance fee of the national highway. In the future, as long as it is a place where the train goes, it will be the world of our Flying Eagle Group.
And according to the rules of the rivers and lakes...... According to international practice, all mineral resources on both sides of the railway, within a range of 50 kilometers. We all have the right of first refusal.
At that time, one hand grasped the mine, and the other hand grasped the train. Aren't the gold coins rolling in?
Therefore, when this train rings, it is ten thousand taels of gold. This is not for nothing. ”
Princess Lulu snorted coldly, and just wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but looking at Leo's eyebrows fluttering, she couldn't help but move in her heart.
Her star-bright eyes flickered, revealing a look of cunning like a vixen.
Princess Lulu blinked her eyes, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and asked Leo softly, "Chairman Lei Dabu......"
Leo was stunned for a moment, then straightened his small chest. Angrily corrected: "It's the chairman, the chairman, not the chairman." Don't have that 'no' in front of it, understand?
You uneducated country girl~!"
Listening to Leo's last broken words, Princess Lulu's teeth itched with hatred, and she wanted to stretch out her fingers. Screwed a few times on Leo's white and tender little face, and then held his ears, listening to him let out a scream like killing a pig, but ......
But at this time, she was silent on the surface, suppressed her anger, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Chairman Lei, I don't know how many days your railway will be built?"
The voice came from between his teeth, if it was usual, Lei Erye, who was full of female abuse, would definitely not ignore it, but today, he showed others his grand blueprint, and he was happy in his heart. In addition, Princess Lulu's domineering chick called Chairman Lei in person, which made him almost wagging his tail proudly.
Therefore, I didn't care.
In joy, Leo waved his hand and said, "You said it was built?
The plan is ready, and we are still waiting for the funds to be available. ”
"Is it expensive to build this railway?" Princess Lulu looked back at the tracks in the station, as if muttering to herself, as if asking, and said softly, "The cost must not be low." ”
"Almost," Leo nodded honestly and admitted, "mainly because this iron track is difficult to manage, and the annual production of steel is really limited."
To this end, we purchase qualified steel raw materials all over the mainland. Then it has to be processed back to the furnace to make qualified products.
In addition, it is necessary to explore, acquire land, lay foundations, sprinkle gravel, and lay tracks...... and a series of complex processes. “
"Cut~!" Princess Lulu pouted and glanced at Leo, and said disappreciably: "No matter how well you plan, it's useless if you can't build it." ”
Leo suddenly jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, waved his hands, and shouted, "Who said it can't be built?
Who says it can't be built?
Is the railroad outside of Nai An fake?
Look down on people less.
I tell you plainly, the railroad from the central station of Nedel to Constantine is now beginning to lay tracks in the morning.
We still adopt a sectional construction method and multiple construction methods. It won't be long before it can be opened to traffic.
Construction of the railway to the Vatino has also begun. ”
"Construction has already begun?" Princess Lulu secretly exclaimed in her heart, "They are doing it so fast~!"
Why didn't there be any news before. Supposedly, this kind of important thing will not go unnoticed......"
Princess Lulu's heart turned, and then she thought of the mysterious Flying Eagle Group under Lorraine.
Before leaving the elven kingdom, Princess Lulu had never even heard the name of the Flying Eagle Group.
But after one night, I suddenly realized that everything that was important seemed to have something to do with it.
For example, table salt, iron, horse-drawn carriages, bearings. Artillery, battleships, war fortresses...... It seems that no matter what is around you, it will eventually involve the Flying Eagle Group.
This rapidly emerging conglomerate. It seems to be a secret no matter when you do it, for fear that others will know, but ...... But once something is revealed, it's always earth-shattering.
What she saw with her own eyes in Nyan proved it.
The chimneys with black smoke, the rumbling steam engines, the steamers that don't need sails, and the ugly train in front of you.
If someone had sued her before. As long as you burn coal, you can pull a car weighing tens of tons to run, and it can run very fast. She would only act as if the person had escaped from a mental hospital.
And now, even if there is a talking and dancing machine in front of her, she will not feel strange.
"How many good things Lorraine has hidden in Naian, it is necessary to take them out for him. Princess Lulu said to herself.
Then she blinked, looked at Leo narrowly, and said, "That's thousands of miles." I guess it will cost a lot of money, right?
That...... Do you have that much money?"
Looking at the light flashing in her star-bright eyes, like a curious cat, Leo suddenly became vigilant. Tightening his wallet, he took two steps back and said, "What do you want to do?"
Watching Leo's movements, Princess Lulu was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, and she wanted to rush up and beat him, and said secretly in her heart: As for the little bit in your wallet, this princess is full of copper coins.
But not thinking of her purpose, Princess Lulu still swallowed this breath, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing. Just ask, do you have the money to build your railroad to dominate the world?"
Leo smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, we have signed an agreement with the Holy See to jointly fund the formation of a pan-continental railway company."
Besides, even if it's not enough. We can issue railway bonds, or let the railway companies go public to collect money. ”
"Public bonds?" Princess Lulu muttered suspiciously, she can understand public bonds, but what does it mean to be listed?
"As long as they see the power of the railroad," Leo swore with a clenched fist, "they will cry and cry and beg us to lend them money." ”
"Nonsense," Princess Lulu said, rolling a glance at Leo, "and that's such a fool." ”
Then he stood up and walked out.
Besides, maybe the dignified Princess Lulu will be a little dizzy by this little dead fat man who runs away with a train mouth, brags about not making drafts, and is extremely ruthless, which is a great shame.
So she planned to talk to Lorraine when she went back. Although that cousin has a bad stomach, he never lies to the people around him.
Coming out of the train station, Leo led Princess Lulu to visit the shipyard outside the city, where a small railway ran to transport timber from the port, and the smoky locomotive dragged the timber and roared into the shipyard.
After a long circle around Nedle, it was already afternoon when I returned to the Doge's Palace.
Princess Lulu walked into the hall of the Governor's Palace, found that it was quiet, went up and down, and found that there was no one, and said in surprise: "Where is the person?"
"Who are you looking for?"
A voice suddenly came from behind Princess Lulu, and Princess Lulu jumped up like a rabbit.
Suddenly turning her head to look behind her, seeing that it was Lorraine's familiar figure, Princess Lulu gasped and patted her chest, "I'm scared to death, cousin, why are you so elusive?"
"I ......," Lorraine gestured to the door.
"Don't say it, I understand. Princess Lulu showed a clear expression on her face, squeezed her eyes at Lorraine, with an ambiguous expression, and said, "I didn't expect my cousin to hide it outside." ”
She kept looking at the door, and Lorraine obviously didn't come back from the gate, which meant that there was a secret passage inside the house.
She has seen a lot of this kind of thing, such as her father, the crown prince of the elven kingdom, who often left the palace through the secret passage to meet his mistress.
"What's hidden?" Lorraine wondered, having just returned from a trip to the venture capital firm next door.
"Don't admit it yet," Princess Lulu furrowed her nose, then pulled Lorraine up and left, "Forget it." ”
Lorraine is led upstairs by Princess Lulu. Puzzled: "What's the matter, is there something?"
Princess Lulu dragged Lorraine all the way to her room, pushed Lorraine into the room, and looked left and right. The door slammed shut, then the lock clicked.
Princess Lulu turned around, her little hands behind her back, tilted her head to look at Lorraine, licked her rosy lips, and muttered, "Now it's just the two of us here." ”
Lorraine was a little confused, and only felt that the air seemed to become a little ambiguous.
Princess Lulu dances gracefully. Agile like a cat, he jumped to Lorraine's side, pointed his fingers on Lorraine's chest, and his fingertips drew circles on Lorraine's clothes, and his pretty face gradually became rosy.
A warm aroma came, and Lorraine couldn't help but sniff and inhale.
With a triumphant smile on her face, Princess Lulu stood on tiptoe to Lorraine's ear and exhaled like a blue. Said slowly: "I...... I want to ......"
Lorraine could feel Princess Lulu's bulging chest against her chest, and there was a soft feeling, and her brain couldn't turn for a moment. Dao followed, "What do you want to do?"
Princess Lulu smiled slyly and said, "I miss my cousin......"
Lorraine took a sharp breath and said in his heart: "It's too fast, I haven't been mentally prepared yet." ”
Princess Lulu suddenly said in one breath: "The railway company is a stock company, do you say it's okay?"
Lorraine squirted out in one breath and said in surprise: "That's what to say?"
Princess Lulu hugged Lorraine's arm and shook it, shaking her body, and said coquettishly: "Is it good, is it good, cousin......"
The last cousin called Lorraine's bones crispy.
"I knew that this little girl must not be well-intentioned. Lorraine said to herself. said: "Okay, yes, but cousin, how much money do you have." ”
"Three-five...... Seven-eight," Princess Lulu said as she observed Lorraine's eyes, and seeing that Lorraine didn't seem to think so, she finally said, "Ten comes." There are still 200,000. ”
"The elf kingdom is really rich~!" Lorraine said secretly in her heart, she is also a princess, Catherine said that she was giving herself 200,000, and she didn't pay the last penny, so she usually has to think seriously about buying cosmetics. Princess Lulu opened her mouth to be 200,000.
However, this money is still not enough, for the capital-intensive industry of railways, it is only a fraction of the amount.
"For every 100th share of the railway group, it is 1 million. Lorraine stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Princess Lulu, and said leisurely, "No retail." ”
Princess Lulu closed her mouth in surprise, and said secretly in her heart: That doesn't mean that the entire train group is worth 100 million gold coins?
But this opportunity cannot be missed, and after a day of understanding, Princess Lulu has understood the benefits of the train.
Their elven kingdom is a maritime country, and it is not conducive to long-term investment in the ocean trade only by putting all their value on the sea trade.
But their hands can't reach into the continent.
The Pan-Continental Railway Company in Leo's mouth made Princess Lulu see an opportunity, an opportunity to expand the power of the Manager Kingdom within the continent.
This opportunity is once in a lifetime, and if you miss this time, you will never have it again, so Princess Lulu decided to sacrifice herself a little to tempt her cousin so that she could get involved.
Princess Lulu's eyes rolled and she smiled, "It's okay, I can ask my father to come, he can afford to pay." ”
Lorraine spread his hands and said, "But I can only sell you ten percent of your shares at most." ”
"That's 10 million, and my father should be able to afford it. Princess Lulu said secretly in her heart, but she still asked puzzledly: "Why is that, ten percent is too little, cousin ......"
Princess Lulu said that her cousin pulled a long tail note, and her voice was crisp and soft, which was extremely useful to Lorraine's ears.
Lorraine patted Princess Lulu's smooth and white little hand and explained with a smile: "According to the regulations, the Flying Eagle Group must occupy a majority of fifty-one percent of the shares in the railway company in order to fully control the Pan-Continental Railway Group.
The Holy See, on the other hand, has to own at least 30 percent of the shares, because it is responsible for contributing capital and is responsible for dredging relations.
The remaining 19 percent are floating shares, 9 percent of which are the share to the country where the railway is located, and in the end only 10 percent remains, which we originally planned to issue as debt and raise funds publicly at an annual interest rate of 6 percent.
But since you have spoken, cousin, the public bonds will not be issued, and they will be transferred to your cousin. ”
Princess Lulu was stunned when she heard this, she had never heard of such a strange joint venture, but Lorraine had the confidence to put together the money, and she heard it.
The Flying Eagle Group opened its mouth to be 51 percent of the shares, which was a real 50 million gold coins.
Princess Lulu picked the corners of her mouth and said with a wry smile, "Thank you, cousin." ”
"And, if you want to take a stake in it, you have to hurry up, and the Pan-Continental Railway Company will soon be established, to be exact, after the first railway to Constantine has been completed. Lorraine looked ungrateful to me and said, "Fortunately, it's the Elven Kingdom."
If it's Parthia or other continental countries, we won't give it even if we want to participate in it. ”
The Elven Kingdom is isolated overseas, whether it is for the Ruman Empire or the Flying Eagle Group, it is a suitable partner for cooperation, and it is not afraid that it will be anti-guest.
Princess Lulu frowned at her beautiful brows, her face was bitter, her voice was greasy, and she snorted: "Cousin, this time is too tight, even if we have money, we can't get 10 million at a time." ”
Lorraine spread his hands helplessly and patiently explained: "Pile gold in the warehouse and mold, it is no different from iron. Only gold that circulates is called wealth.
Ten million seems like a lot, but it's actually nothing. Soon we will list the railway company on the stock exchange, and the original price of 10 million yuan of 10% of the shares may double in a few nights.
At that time, if my cousin chose to sell the shares, she could make a net profit of 10 million. ”
Princess Lulu showed a puzzled expression and said, "Today is the second time I've heard of the stock exchange, what kind of exchange is this, what is it?"
"To put it simply, I split one percent of the shares into one million shares, one gold coin each, and put them on the stock exchange market to sell them, so that ordinary people can afford them.
They are also shareholders of our company, and if they think that the stock has a good prospect and high dividends, someone will be willing to pay two gold coins to buy this stock. ”
Lorraine tried to make the story as clear as possible, saying, "If one day you don't want to continue to hold shares in the railroad company, you can also sell your shares on the trading market and exchange them for cash." ”
Princess Lulu tilted her head and thought for a long time, feeling a little bit of the door in her heart, but she still shook her head and said, "No, 10 million is still too much, cousin will give you a discount." ”
Lorraine burst out laughing, raised her hand to rub Princess Lulu's head, scratched her long silky hair, and said, "If this can also be discounted, the Holy See will go crazy if it finds out." ”
Princess Lulu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, took Lorraine's hand, and said, "Then what should I do? ”
"It's not impossible," Lorraine said with a faint smile, rubbing her chin, "You can pay in installments." ”
"Installment?" (to be continued) RQ!!
