Struggle in Russia

Thinking again and again Li Xiao still gave up the idea of ​​going to Uncle David's friends first. After all, he also said that these friends are not so reliable, and he is now the first security, and he will only act on the premise of ensuring security.

After all, if his identity is revealed, it will be very dangerous. Presumably the Wallachians will not be polite to Russian spies. On the other hand, as long as the safety is ensured, even if the final mission fails, at least it is a life without worry, it will be a shame to be humiliated and taught by his old uncle.

Even then, Nicholas I would not be able to live for a few years, and it would be a big deal to learn how to bear the burden of humiliation and to make a living again. After all, there was only one life, and I lost the chance to cross it again.

Therefore, after arriving in Bucharest, Li Xiao went to the French Consulate for the first time to report.

"Mr. Perrier, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Francois Perrier is the current French Consul General in Wallachia. This is a small old man in his early 50s with a sparse head. He has a big nose and a pair of small eyes and sharp chin, which is a bit ironic. The characters in the comics came into reality.

The little old man has a typical French arrogance. When he saw that Li Xiao was just a little boy in his early twenties, he was obviously contemptuous and unhappy.

"Hello, Mr. Diomede, is there anything wrong with the sudden visit?"

Looking at the expression and tone of this arrogant old man, it is typical to say, "If it's okay, you quickly get out of the way, don't bother me for the delay."

However, Li Xiao didn't care, because it was too normal in this era. Bureaucrats in this era did not have a sense of service. They generally thought that they were uncles. If you want them to be good and considerate, you must first have enough fear or temptation. s things.

Such as status power or money!

Obviously, Li Xiao had enough money, and he immediately gave a check of one thousand francs: "That's it, Mr. Perrier. As a patriotic businessman, I heard that our diplomat was unfortunately killed in Bucharest the other day. I express my deep condolences and anger, for which I am willing to offer a reward of one thousand francs to capture the murderer! "

The little old man's expression changed immediately. Is there a lot of one thousand francs? It's not much, but it's not small, but the merchants who are willing to donate a thousand francs generously to the consulate general are not many. At least he hasn't run into any consul general in Bucharest for at least these years.

Treating the gold master, even if he thinks he is the uncle's bureaucratic attitude, he will be enthusiastic. After all, the world has the biggest money!

"You are so touching, Mr. Diomede!"

The little old man immediately stood up and hugged Li Xiao enthusiastically. He could not see that he was thousands of miles away from him a few seconds ago. He was as warm and warm as the spring breeze in March.

"Your righteousness will always be remembered by the country! The country needs a patriotic businessman like you!"

"By the way, which company did you say?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "My family's newly launched Wallachia Oil Company. It was not long after it was first established, so it made you laugh."

The old man smiled and said, "Walachia Oil Company? Is your company planning to start a business in Wallachia?"

"Yes, Mr. Perrier, we are very interested in the Prahova Valley. We believe that the region is rich in petroleum resources. We are going to conduct a detailed exploration of the area and start mining once the conditions are mature!"

The old man was lost in thought, probably thinking about where the Prahova Valley is. Because he really didn't hear the place name. Of course, this is also normal, because the famous Ploiesti oil field will not be developed for another ten years, and it is really not famous now.

Not only because Ploiesti is not famous, but more importantly, the power source of industry in this era is still coal, and the desire for oil is not strong. The oil that is mined is not widely used except for refining kerosene and paraffin. . So oil companies haven't hooked up with local tyrants or princes this year, and it won't make people call dad.

Of course, oil companies will not be discriminated against. After all, the financial resources of Romania ’s oil mining companies that can travel thousands of miles to the birds and not **** will not be too small. For the consulate general of Wallachia, which has a poor investment, one or two A big businessman investing locally means that the benefits are going to the next level! Thousands of francs were thrown away to ask for directions without seeing people coming just now. Will there be less money in the future when business starts?

Anyway, the old man is very happy: "I and all the members of the Consulate General in Wallachia welcome you very much, welcome you to invest in Wallachia, and guarantee that we will make every effort to protect all your legitimate rights and interests!"

Li Xiao naturally stuck to it with a snake: "Then I will rely on your help from Mr. Perrier in the future. If you have any needs in the future, as long as I can help, I will go all out!"

Next, naturally, the guests and guests enjoyed a very harmonious scene, especially when Perrier knew that Li Xiao had a relationship with the upper levels at the French embassy in Turkey, and he had a good relationship with Minister Counselor De Pelleny, and took out After the counselor's letter of introduction, the consul general became even more enthusiastic.

The reason is very simple, because the current French ambassador to Turkey is said to be unstable and will soon be repatriated, and the No. 1 hot candidate to take over is this Mr. Pelleny.

Let's put it this way, as the consul general in Wallachia, the young man's direct leader is the French ambassador to Turkey. That is to say, once De Pelleny takes office, he is the boss of the old man and will directly determine the young man's CPI assessment. And promotion. The good friend of the boss is naturally warmly welcomed ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ It will be a way to go in the future!

So Li Xiao really has a good relationship with that de Pellaini? Yes, looking at the gold coins of the yellow orange orange, the Mr. Pellaini really likes Li Xiao and wrote an introduction letter to him. The meeting between the two parties is very harmonious, but this harmony is just as unsustainable as the relationship between wine and meat.

It ’s just that Li Xiao definitely wo n’t tell the little old man this tragic fact. It ’s true to pull tiger skin to make a banner and fake tiger power. This year must not be too honest, because you have to face a group of extremely dishonest old churros and assholes. You have to be more **** than them to hold the scene.

After another nutritious greeting, the old man's impression of Li Xiao became better and better for a simple reason. Li Xiao's manners were polite, French was also a pure court model, and he was of the high society. It is familiar. The reason is that there is evidence of advancement and retreat. At first glance, it is a family learning source, not a muddy leg and an upstart.

This makes the old man feel that Li Xiao's origins must be extraordinary. If he is not good, he is a child of a large family in the high society of France. Such people must not be neglected and must be treated well.

Suddenly the old man issued an invitation: "Mr. Diomede, I will host a private salon tomorrow night, and sincerely invite you to be a guest, please be sure to appreciate it!"
