I Am the Crown Prince in France

You did a great job! Joseph looked at Friant with approval, Continue to recruit students, and select those with outstanding qualifications and enterprising spirit to form an 'elite class' for key training.

Also, the police academy is just under construction. You can make it simpler, but you can't keep it that way. Build a new school building as soon as possible and purchase training equipment and equipment. Oh, just follow the standards of the Paris Military Academy. You can only be better than it, not better. It's worse than that. I'll give you 250,000 livres first...

Frient's heart skipped a beat when he heard this figure. Such a huge sum of money was not meant to build a school for training young police officers. It was almost enough to build a serious military academy!

Joseph seemed to be testing his heart's ability to withstand pressure, and continued: This is the initial construction cost. I plan to invest a total of more than 1 million. After all construction is completed, the enrollment will exceed 3,000 people.

Friant swallowed and responded quickly: Yes! Yes, Your Highness!

Joseph seemed to say casually: By the way, everyone has worked hard during the preparation stage of the police academy. 5,000 livres will be taken from the funds to reward the management of the police academy, including Qi himself.

Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!

The preparations for the police academy were far faster than expected, and this must be rewarded.

The police academy has just opened, and among all the instructors and civilian staff, including those who manage and build the school building, there are only more than 20 people in total, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for each person.

When Besançon heard this, his eyes were full of envy. He used to think that Frient was just the director of the police academy, but now he saw that this was no ordinary police academy. Friant's future development may not be worse than that of his police chief.

He secretly thought that he would have to work hard from now on. In the police system, he must defeat Friant.

When Etienne, general manager of Lavelle Bank, arrived at the Palace of Versailles, it was just after 10 o'clock in the morning.

He has been dealing with the French financial system for more than ten years and is very familiar with it.

It didn't take long for him to find someone in the financial system. He found a quiet corner and asked in a low voice: Viscount Leon, the national debt is about to expire. Why are the financial people not in a hurry? What does it look like?”

Viscount Lyon looked around and whispered: As far as I know, there is a 'French Reserve Bank' that lent money to the Crown Prince. Including Laborde Bank, and your loan is no longer needed for the time being.

Etienne frowned, thinking that his brain was fuming, and he didn't think of someone called the Reserve Bank of France. He was a little suspicious at the moment and said: Is your information accurate?

Are you questioning me? Viscount Leon was a little displeased and said with a sullen face, The loan agreement with the Reserve Bank of France has been prepared. I saw it with my own eyes. How can I be wrong?

Etienne felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The short-term loan amounted to 6 million livres, with Banque Lavelle and Banque Laborde sharing half of it. It will contribute more than 300,000 in interest to Lavelle Bank every year, which is an important business for the bank.

If this business is robbed by others, I will definitely be punished!

He was so anxious that he was sweating, and he couldn't help but think of the previous agreement between the bank and the Duke of Orleans - Lavelle Bank would delay the loan until the deadline. When the Crown Prince had nothing to do, the Duke of Orleans' people would come forward, and the bank would immediately lend money. .

Why is it different from what the Duke of Orleans said now...

Damn it, it must be the Reserve Bank of France! Etienne's eyes were about to burst into flames. It was definitely a small bank that had just been established and didn't understand the rules!

When this matter is over, he must pay the price!

But first we need to get this loan business back! Thinking of this, Etienne hurriedly thanked Viscount Lyon and promised some benefits, and hurried to the Chancellor of Finance's office. He had a famous plan in mind and lowered the loan interest rate to 17%, which should be enough to impress the Crown Prince, but it didn't work. It dropped to 16%...

Besançon and Friant finished reporting on the police system. As soon as they stood up to say goodbye to the crown prince, they saw Joseph's assistant in the financial system approaching and saluted: Your Highness, Eddie, general manager of Lavelle Bank, An asked to see you and said that he wanted to talk to you about the loan.

When Joseph heard Lavelle Bank, his face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: There is nothing to talk about, please ask him to go back.

The assistant hesitated for a moment and then said: Your Highness, Mr. Etienne said that to show his sincerity, he is willing to reduce the loan interest rate to 17%.

Joseph smiled: What sincerity? He must have heard about the Reserve Bank of France. Are you anxious now? It's too late!

The Reserve Bank of France is naturally the bank he is preparing. Although the bank has not yet been established, it does not prevent him from drafting a contract with the French government in advance.

He said to his assistant: Please tell him, oh, and the Laborde Bank, so that you don't have to trouble them with this loan in the future.

He paused and then said: When I get back, I will check to see if there is any other cooperation between the government and these two banks. Help me formulate a plan to transfer all the loans involving them to other banks. Well, the name of the plan is ' Financing Risk Reduction Planning'.”

Surprise flashed in the assistant's eyes, but he immediately bowed and said: Yes, Your Highness.

Besançon was thoughtful, and when he saw the Crown Prince mentioning Lavelle Bank, his expression was obviously not good, so he immediately wrote it down silently.

When he came out of the crown prince's palace, he immediately caught up with the assistant and asked what was going on.

Although the matter involved financial secrets, when the latter learned that Besançon was the new Paris police chief, he immediately became polite and explained the matter in general.

Besançon narrowed his eyes when he heard that there were two banks that were apparently trying to stumbling upon the Crown Prince, almost causing his Highness to default on his debt.

He was single-handedly promoted to the position of Paris Police Chief by the Crown Prince, and he was entrusted with the important task of police reform. He knew how to repay his kindness, and he was naturally devoted to the Crown Prince.

At present, some people dare to cause trouble for the Crown Prince. His Highness is magnanimous and does not care about them, but as a direct descendant of the Crown Prince, he must not just let it go!

Banco Lavelle and Banco Laborde? You must pay for this!

On the other side, Etienne was walking out of the Palace of Versailles in despair - he had just been informed that not only would the 6 million livre loan business have nothing to do with Bank Lavelle in the future, the government would probably terminate all cooperation with him in the future...

One of the core businesses of Lavelle Bank is to provide short-term large loans to the government with high interest rates and almost no risk. It's just that in the past, the French government was as poor as a church mouse and always had to beg for bank loans. Who knows why it suddenly became hard-line this time.

Etienne looked ashen. If this matter was confirmed, he would not only be unemployed. The angry shareholders of Lavelle Bank would even sell him to Haiti to work as a coolie for the rest of his life!

Thinking of this, he shuddered, but the matter was completely out of his control. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush back to Paris to report the matter to the bank's board of directors.
