Expedition to Europe

Although the Renault family is very powerful in France, it does not mean that Fayol is also very powerful.

If old Renault came in person, it would only be a matter of making a phone call if he wanted to see Maurice Sarrier, but if Fayol wanted to see Maurice Sarrel, he could not just meet him casually. Of course it will give face to the Renault family, but Fayol must also make an appointment, otherwise it means that old Renault's tutoring is not strict.

As Fayol, it would be no problem to meet Maurice Salier's son.

They are also the second generation. If Maurice Salier resigns as governor, Locke Sarrier, the "second generation official", will be a hairless phoenix worse than a chicken. And even if Fayol is useless, Fayol is still a member of the Renault family. This is an unchangeable fact.

So it is most appropriate for Fayol to do this.

Maurice Sarrier is already old and it is impossible not to think about the future, and Fayol is still young. Even if Fayol messes up, there is still old Leno who can save the situation.

As soon as he entered the main building gate, a tall red-haired young man came quickly to greet him. It was Morris's son Locke.

Seeing Fayol, Locke was very enthusiastic. For a moment, Fayol felt that the freckles on Locke's face were jumping for joy: "Dear Fayol, why do you think of coming to see me today? Let me guess, you must Do you have any good news for me?"

It's obviously nonsense. You can go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"There is indeed good news, I'm just not sure how good it is for you." Fayol was also laughing, much more maturely than he was eight years ago.

It was such a fleeting moment that the disagreement between Fayol and Qin Zhiyuan happened eight years ago.

That’s right, Qin Zhiyuan and Julie’s children are all in school——

People always have to grow up. Fayol also received elite education before. Such people actually know very well what should be done and what should not be done, who can be remembered and who must be forgotten.

Now even if Julie stands in front of Fayol, Fayol will treat it as meeting Julie for the first time and treat her with respect. If it cannot do this, then "elite education" will be a failure.

Locke and Fayol are indeed very familiar with each other. They chatted all the way into Locke's office. Fayol performed a "Paris paralysis" on the sofa in a grand manner. Locke didn't take it seriously and took the initiative to help Fayol. Joel poured a glass of wine;

As for the secretary, when Locke first appeared, the secretary magically disappeared without a trace, as if he had learned the art of invisibility.

Being a secretary is a science. You have to know when to show up and when not to show up. Otherwise, no matter how good you are at the formalities, you will only be a cleaner for the rest of your life.

"Tell me, what's the good news?" York sat down on the sofa opposite Fayol, not doing anything right.

York's official identity is Maurice Sarrier's staff officer, just like the relationship between Pierre and Foch during the World War, except that York obviously does not have a good sister, and Maurice Sarrel does not have Foch. Because of his courage, York is still a staff officer, and Pierre is running for the French president.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other, one step is slower, each step is slower——

"I heard that the rebellion in Comoros has not subsided, right?" Fayol said nothing nonsense.

As the general manager of Renault Bauxite Company, Fayol is usually very busy. Now Renault Bauxite Company's business projects are not limited to mining bauxite, graphite, mica, copper, and even gold and gemstones. Half of the mines in Madagascar The plants are owned by Reynolds Bauxite Company.

Comoros is an island and the collective name for four islands near Comoros.

Comoros Island is located before Madagascar and Mozambique on the African continent. It is 300 kilometers away from Madagascar and Mozambique. Comoros Island is the largest of the four islands, with an area of ​​2235 square kilometers. The total area of ​​the four islands combined More than 3300 square kilometers.

The earliest residents of Comoros were Persians and Madagascars. The Persians controlled these four islands in the early AD. In the mid-19th century, France began to invade the four islands of Comoros. About ten years ago, the four islands of Comoros were reduced to French colony.

Just like Madagascar's ongoing struggle against French colonial rule, the four Comoros islands are also experiencing constant riots against French colonial rule. The last most powerful rebellion occurred a year ago. There were about 30,000 people on the four Comoros islands. People participated in the riots against the French colonial rulers, accounting for 90% of the total residents of the four islands of Comoros.

The French colonial authorities have not been effective in suppressing the four Comoros islands. Even because the French election is approaching, the French Governor-General in Madagascar has withdrawn all its troops.

We don’t know what the situation will be after the election. Maybe Maurice Sarrier won’t be able to stay in office. Why bother working so hard to make wedding clothes for others?

How can it be as comfortable as lying in the office drinking and chatting——

"No, let them do whatever they want. Those four islands have no value. There are no mines, no oil, and no available human resources. It is not worth wasting the lives of the soldiers for such a few worthless desert islands." When York heard Fayol mention the four islands of Comoros, he immediately became uninterested.

Strictly speaking, Fayol is York's "God of Wealth". The collusion between government and businessmen is always unfavorable. Renault Bauxite Company's expansion in Madagascar cannot be separated from York's help.

Of course, York's work is not in vain. Now Reynolds Bauxite Company has 10% of York's shares, which only takes dividends and cannot transfer the shares.

Fayol mentioned "good news", and York thought that Fayol was interested in that mine again, which also meant that York's dividends would increase, so York was interested, but when he heard Joel mention the Comoros Four Islands, York was immediately disappointed.

That's right, until the 21st century, no mineral resources were discovered on the Comoros Island, the largest of the four islands. As for the other three islands, they are all volcanic islands, and the French have no connection with them. Not even interested in taking a look.

So for York, the four islands of Comoros are really worthless.

"Just because you think it's worthless doesn't mean that others think so too -" Fayol smiled enigmatically.

"What do you mean?" York became more energetic.

"Lanfang wants to build a transfer station near Madagascar, and they will pay a certain amount of compensation for it." Fayol stopped talking about the four islands of Comoros.

As a "second-generation official", York is not a fool. His brain is much easier to use than ordinary people. As soon as Fayol finished speaking, York immediately became energetic: "Transit station? No problem. Where do the Lanfang people want to build it?"

Judging from York's intentions, even if Lanfang wanted to build the transfer station at the Antananarivo Palace, York would sell the palace to the Lanfang people.

"The western coast, close to the African continent, the closer the better -" Fayol began to set the trap, allowing York to jump in on his own initiative.

"The closer, the better - those are the four islands of Comoros." York didn't let Fayol wait for too long, he couldn't wait to jump in: "But there is nothing on the four islands of Comoros, there are just a group of Mob, if this happens, won’t the people of Lanfang be dissatisfied——”

Oops, Yorke is really a "good French teammate" and would take the initiative to consider Lanfang's position. This is really a new level of "selling" the country.

York is not thinking about the people of Lanfang. York is just worried because there are no resources on the four islands of Comoros and cannot be sold at a good price.

"This is not what we are worried about. The Lanfang people are willing to pay and are not afraid of causing trouble, so let them deal with the mobs on the four islands of Comoros." Fayol is not worried.

Since the quarrel with Qin Zhiyuan, Fayol has been paying attention to Qin Zhiyuan. This is not for revenge, because not long after the incident, Fayol found that he no longer has the ability to retaliate. Fayol paid attention to Qin Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan wanted to show his favor to Qin Zhiyuan at the right time, so that Fayol might be able to return to the center of power of the Renault family.

Lanfang wants to set up a transit station in Madagascar. This is a rare opportunity for Fayol. If Fayol can do this beautifully, then even if he cannot return to the power of the Renault family for the time being, In the center, Fayol will also re-enter the sight of the old Renault.

For a newcomer who is "ideal, moral, cultured and disciplined", the most cruel thing is not that there is no opportunity, but that no matter what he does, he will be ignored. This is the most serious "cold violence".

"Yes, yes, but I guess the Colonial Department won't agree." York thought about it carefully, feeling a little hesitant.

Lanfang's expansion not only aroused the vigilance of the British, but also aroused the vigilance of the French. France's colonial area in Africa is larger than that of the United Kingdom, so when faced with Lanfang, who is almost stubborn in dealing with territorial issues, , the French government is also very vigilant.

Speaking of leasing, the most unfavorable deal between France and Lanfang was France’s lease of Cam Ranh Bay to Lanfang. Cam Ranh Bay is now the port with the best facilities in the entire Far East. This should have been the pride of France, but now it has become Lanfang’s. Fang's masterpiece, every Frenchman will feel the heartbreaking pain when they see the name Cam Ranh Bay.

After that transaction, the French Colonial Ministry issued a notice stipulating that all governors-general abroad were not allowed to privately lease French overseas colonies to any country under any conditions.

Although Lan Fang was not mentioned by name, everyone knew what the notice from the Colonial Ministry meant.

"Then submit a report. The rebellion in the four islands of Comoros is huge and has affected the stability of Madagascar. If we want to suppress the rebellion in the four islands of Comoros, we need more troops and more funds. Let’s see what the Colonial Office said—” Fayol probably couldn’t think of a solution to the problem with York’s IQ, so he had to go into battle shirtless.

After listening to Fayol's words, York thought for a while and suddenly laughed three times, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"
