Flowers, Swords and France

Let a woman act as a shareholder, director and representative? When he heard the request of His Excellency Minister Treville, Eugene Schneider couldn't believe his ears - in today's era, it is simply unimaginable for women to hold senior positions in companies, Eugene - Of course Schneider would be shocked.

However, there was no joking in His Excellency's expression, and it was obviously a serious request.

"I know this request will make you feel strange, but this is indeed my request. Sir, please believe that my sister is a very intelligent and enterprising person. She is willing to serve the country and also for We serve. I am a staunch egalitarian, and business does not depend on physical strength, so I think a woman can play a big role in it if she wants to. What do you think?”

He looked at Eugene Schneider with bright eyes, implying in this way that his request could neither be refuted nor refused.

Eugene Schneider understood the will of His Excellency the Minister, and was wondering why the Excellency the Minister made such a request.

Is letting his biological sister participate in it to strengthen his control over himself and the organization he will establish in the future? Or is it to avoid tarnishing your reputation by appearing in person? Or is it hiding some ulterior motives?

"How many shares do you plan to hold after the capital injection?" he asked carefully.

"How about 10%? I think this ratio can give us enough say with you, but I can't pay with cash now, I can only pay with the profit of the order. But don't worry, as long as we have our Endorsement and support, plus your financial It is very easy to refinance old relationships in the world." Seeing that the other party seemed to be interested, Charles replied directly, "Of course, I don't want to embarrass you. If you think this ratio is too high, you can raise it. It’s not that I can’t be accommodating.”

It's really nice to say it. If you don't know what's going on, I'd have to thank you... Eugene Schneider sneered in his heart.

The minister asked for shares, but he refused to give cash directly. Instead, he said that he would use the "order profits" to deduct them. Doesn't this mean that he would use his power to take away the shares empty-handed? This is blatantly corrupt.

However, he wasn't about to say no.

As the Minister said, the 10% ratio is not high. It is indeed not enough to interfere with the operation of his company. In the long run, it will only take away part of the profits of his family company. But now if a company wants to survive, it must have orders to maintain it. Who cares about profits? Besides, if he can really climb up to the rank of Minister, with his status, his company will definitely have a steady stream of orders in the future. Even if part of the profits will be taken away, the rest will definitely be a very considerable number.

Therefore, unless the minister had any special purpose, he could not see any reason to reject this proposal.

Well, it does seem a bit surprising to have a woman involved in this - but as long as the Lord Minister can fulfill his promise, even if the Lord wants a monkey to hold these positions, it will be a great good thing for him. .

It is difficult for the minister himself to come forward for such a matter, so it is not strange for his relatives to be responsible. Who told him that he has no brother and only one sister.

"Okay... Sir, I understand what you mean." Soon, Eugene Schneider made a decision, "I can agree with your opinion, and I am very happy to work with you... and your sister. I I eagerly hope to make my own contribution to your plan as soon as possible and participate in the great cause of building France. ”

"You really don't sound like an inventor when you say that, haha." Charles laughed, "I sincerely believe that the Schneider family's business will flourish in your hands, and you will go down in the history of French industry. It left a very strong mark.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Eugene Schneider immediately stretched out his hand and shook it with Charles.

"I will let others discuss the specific cooperation with you in detail. Please believe that anyone who cooperates with me will never regret it." When shaking hands, Charles smiled and said to him, "I ask you not to This is seen as a blackmail or threat that has to be endured, but a cooperation, a very successful cooperation that can bring great benefits to me and you. "

"What does this mean?" Eugene Schneider asked in a low voice.

"France has experienced countless ups and downs in the past 80 years. I think it will experience the same ups and downs in the next few decades, even more violent storms. Therefore... it is very useful for like-minded people to unite closely to help each other." Necessary." Charles's answer was still somewhat evasive, "This will allow us to survive the storm and even see the light in the storm."

It can be seen that he does regard Ciel's actions as 'blackmail or threat'. Ciel also knows that he cannot avoid making the other party think so - but he is confident that the other party will soon see that he can bring him After the benefits come, change that idea.

"I hope so." Eugene Schneider didn't take Charles's words seriously, he just said it casually.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly reached into his sight.

This plain white, slender hand was wrapped in a thin white silk glove, which looked like it was made of ceramics. It was handed to him slowly but smoothly, as if it was a gift from the sky.

Eugene Schneider raised his head and found the beautiful Miss Treville looking at him calmly with a smile on her face.

"Please shake my hand, sir." Her smile made her look like a breath of fresh air. "I'm afraid I will have to work with you in the future, so please take good care of me."

Even though he was dissatisfied with the Treville family's actions, Eugene Schneider still couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this smile.

What a lovely woman.

"I will be more than happy to help you, mademoiselle." He extended his hand and shook it with Miss Treville.

When he gently squeezed this hand, he felt that the touch was very soft. Under the gaze of those beautiful eyes, his mood seemed to suddenly improve. However, due to etiquette, of course he couldn't hold it all the time, so he let go with a little regret after holding it for a while. "With the help of you and your brother, I think everything will develop in a direction that is beneficial to us."

"I firmly believe so." Fran nodded, her brilliant blond hair and the big crimson bow on the back of her head swaying slightly, "I have not had similar experience before, but I will study hard and absorb it. Whatever knowledge and experience my brother and you entrust to me, I will also actively participate in the affairs of the organization and do my best to help you. Of course, I think that since we have both sides in Giverny and Le Queso. The factories are already huge enterprises and will definitely occupy a large market share. Therefore, in order to increase our voice, we should act at a unified pace. As Mr. Wang said, I will not interfere with yours. During normal operations, we will only focus on coordination work - however, if you have any major changes in your operations, I would also like to ask you to tell me in advance, and at the same time, please take my suggestions seriously. "

After saying these words in a serious manner, she suddenly laughed again, "Maybe these words will not make you happy, but I think it is better to say some things in advance, which will be very beneficial to our future cooperation. You Say yes?"

Although the smile this time was equally cute, Eugene Schneider was not as relaxed as before. The words spoken by the beautiful woman in front of him were very clever. On the surface, she seemed to be very polite, but in fact, she was silently clarifying her transcendent status and asking him not to look down on her because she did not hold the majority of the shares and was a woman. At the same time, It also requires acting autonomously.

She looks so young and cute, but talks like an old fox. Is this the result of a famous family? Only then did he realize that Miss Treville was not just a vase, but someone he had to deal with equally seriously - at least her brain should be very good.

Hey, the Treville family is really difficult to deal with. It would be great if there was another revolution and they and the Bonaparte family were wiped out! he thought suddenly.

"I will spare no effort to tell you what I know, miss." He replied with a hint of helplessness, "Of course, in order to coordinate the operations of both parties, I will also listen to your opinions very carefully."

"That's great!" Charles clapped softly, "I seem to see our glorious future, and this day is definitely not far away. Mr. Schneider, after you go back this time, be prepared. , a large number of orders will be poured into you, because I am not satisfied with the current progress of France's railway industry, so I am ready to further expand the construction industry. The specific plan has been made and will enter the implementation stage at any time. "

"That's great!" Eugene Schneider couldn't help cheering. He will definitely feel relieved that the matter he has been worried about has finally been solved - even if this solution actually comes at a huge cost.

"By the way, you have to make some other preparations." Charles suddenly said, "I need you to start producing a gun in the near future -"

"Guns?" Eugene Schneider was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it is a new type of gun, but it is produced under the name of Giverny Factory." Charles nodded, and then continued to explain, "To tell you the truth, in addition to steel, the factory here is also involved in the manufacturing of weapons. ...The government has recently purchased a large number of new guns, which we developed. This is a gun with unparalleled advantages, so the Army is very interested in it, and the order volume is very large. Although we have worked very hard, we are still unable to do so. There is no way to complete it...so I think we can leave part of it to your factory, and the price is easy to negotiate. "

"Guns..." Eugene Schneider hesitated a little. It wasn't that he didn't want to accept the order, but that the Schneider family's company had not been involved in the arms industry so far, so he was afraid of not doing well.

"You don't have to worry about not being able to do it well. We will provide you with special drawings and sample guns, and we will also send special engineers and workers to guide you." Charles smiled slightly, "We have only one purpose, to complete the government work as soon as possible. The order will enable all Army officers and soldiers to be equipped with new weapons as soon as possible.”

This is certainly not his entire purpose. He did this to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two sides and to increase the penetration and monitoring of Schneider Enterprises. "A factory that can produce sophisticated products and equipment has enough good workers and machines, and these workers and machines can make weapons that kill people - as long as there is enough money and determination. Fortunately, we have both of these things. In this case, why don't we do it earlier? Mr. Schneider, I believe you will not refuse to serve the country, right?"

"Of course not, I am very happy to serve the country!" Eugene Schneider immediately made up his mind. In the final analysis, he also wanted to enter the high-profit arms industry. Now that he can get help from a noble man like Treville, he has taken fewer detours.

"You see, you immediately saw the benefits of cooperating with us, right?" Charles laughed.

After talking with Charle, Eugene Schneider left the office with a mixed feeling of being worried about gains and losses, but finally relieved. He had already received the assurance and promise he wanted. Although it was a painful price to pay, at least at this moment, he had saved the family business and saw the dawn of further development and expansion in the future.

After he left, the remaining two people in the room did not leave, but remained in it.

"He doesn't like you." After a moment of silence, Fran suddenly said. "If there is a chance to break the promise, I think he will do it."

"I don't expect others to like me after meeting each other." Charles shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether he likes me or not. At least I have achieved my goal. He will slowly rely on us in the future - after all, we can give him a lot of benefits."

"You... seem to be deliberately showing kindness to him?" Fran left the sofa where she was sitting, and sat directly next to her brother, and then leaned against Charles, "I don't think we need to give in to him like this? He needs us now."

In her opinion, her brother didn't need to be so lenient with Mr. Schneider. After all, the Treville family is now in an advantageous position, and there is no need to bypass them with such generous conditions.

Charles felt a little uncomfortable with his sister suddenly approaching him, but after a little struggle, he acquiesced to the reality.

"Spare? No, I didn't want to kill them anyway." Charles forced a smile, "After all, we can't take everything into our own hands. It's not only unnecessary, but also dangerous."

"Do you think we've already gotten too much, so we can't go any further and make people hate us?" Fran asked immediately.

"Yes, that's right. What I've done now is enough to make people jealous. As long as we continue the current trend, we will soon become one of the leaders in the industry - so now I don't need to exclude everyone else. On the contrary, I want to add some friends to us, some controllable friends. I think Mr. Schneider is a suitable friend."

"If you have such a group of friends, your position will surely be more solid as a rock." Fran seemed to understand something, "Is this also the purpose of your setting up this federation?"

Charles didn't answer, but just shrugged. However, at this moment, he suddenly found that his chest was pressed and felt a little uncomfortable. "Hey, don't get so close to me, I can't breathe."

"I just want to lean on you and listen to your heartbeat, otherwise you always lie, who knows which words are true." Fran said with a smile, but she was also slightly out of breath.

"I didn't lie to you." Charles smiled bitterly. "Okay, now you should be satisfied, right? I have paved the way for you, and the rest depends on how you walk."

"I will serve you with my greatest enthusiasm, sir... No one in the world is more loyal to you than me." Fran said affectionately, "You will definitely be glad for your decision today. By the way, what do you think of my performance just now? I haven't dealt with such people before..."

"It's a good performance." Charles nodded, "Keep it up."

"Great." Fran laughed, then hooked her hand behind her brother's neck, and then pressed his head down with a little force.

But Charles was a little embarrassed and didn't do as she wished.

"Don't forget what you promised me!" Fran opened her eyes wide and looked at Charles, "Are you just lying to me?"

"Okay, okay." Charles sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and kissed the other person.

When the two lips were about to touch, Fran closed her eyes and smiled contentedly. "I really hope that day will come soon..."

For a while, the room fell into a shy silence, until the two lips separated from each other after a long time.

Fran's face was as red as a cherry, and it didn't fade for a long time. Obviously, she was not as carefree as she seemed.

"You let me come in this way, didn't you want to stimulate... not stimulate Charlotte?" She suddenly asked again, "If you use the name of a supervisory partner, Charlotte will not be able to object."

"If you know, you don't need to say more." Charles lowered his eyes. "Her Majesty the Queen will come in a while. I originally wanted you to attend the wedding, but this time... don't attend, okay? Since you are going to do these big things, don't show up in public too much."

"Don't worry, I won't say bad things about her in front of you, nor will I compete with her." Fran laughed again, "She can have as much glory as she wants, I will just help you silently behind you, as for the public... I hope these flies forget me." (~^~)
