Pesini described to Jérôme Bonaparte Bonaparte his "contributions" to the city of Auxerre, which included but were not limited to widening streets, dredging rivers, establishing a unified water supply system, and
Renovation of your old house.
Through Pesigny's oral account of Georges Eugène Haussmann, Jérôme Bonaparte can be sure that the Georges Eugène Haussmann in Pesigny's mouth should be the same as Baron Haussmann, the founder of the modernization of Paris in the Second Empire.
the same person.
The modern Parisian structure created by Baron Haussmann lasted until nearly the 21st century without any large-scale changes. It is a perfect combination of classical aesthetics and modern industry.
This is exactly the person I'm looking for!
Jerome Bonaparte secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to "invite" this founder of Paris' modernization to Paris and let him serve as the "designer" of Paris' modernization.
"Pessini, do you think George Eugène Haussmann can serve as a senior official in the Seine Province?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Pessini.
Pesini was stunned for a moment. Jérôme Bonaparte's sudden inquiry made him somewhat confused as to what the president meant. Did the president take a fancy to Osman's talent, or was he taking the opportunity to impress himself?
"I think that the hasty withdrawal may cause resentment in Paris!" Pesini carefully expressed his opinion to Jerome Bonaparte: "You can let Eugène Haussmann practice for a while, and then use him!"
"
"So which department do you think Eugène Haussmann should go to?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Pesini again.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion Eugène Haussmann should serve as a high-ranking Gironde official for a period of time to see the results!" After hesitating for a moment, Pesigny replied cautiously.
"Gironde!" Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Pesigny: "I remember that it belongs to the Provence region and is the traditional vote base of the royalist party."
"Your Majesty, this will reveal the ability of Eugène Haussmann!" Without any psychological burden, Pesini dumped the figure who "taught" the people of Gironde to love Bonaparte to Eugène Haussmann: "If Eugène Haussmann
Under your appointment, Osman managed the Gironde province obediently, which means that he has the corresponding ability. A person who can control the royalist city is fully capable of controlling the Seine province. The same is true
It proves your vision, President.
On the other hand, if it is an incompetent person, we can also turn him into a pawn to break into Provence."
If Eugène Haussmann was at the Elysée Palace, he would definitely be dumbfounded by Pesini's behavior of "torture" himself without hesitation in order to preserve his position in the president's heart.
"I have no grievances with you, but you have added insult to injury like this" may become a true portrayal of Eugene Osman's heart.
[After receiving the transfer order from Paris, Eugène Haussmann vented in the office before deciding to go to the Gironde.]
"Well!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and said to Pesini: "Your idea is good! I will order the cabinet to handle it after the legislative assembly begins!"
"Yes!" Pesini nodded in response, and then took out a land deed and handed it to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at the land deed that Pesigny held in his hands, which was exactly the one he had rejected.
"Pessini, haven't I already refused? Why do you still take it over!" Jerome Bonaparte frowned slightly and looked at Pesigny.
"Your Majesty, Mayor De Reina said that this is a good intention of him and the entire city hall, and it is not worth it. If you don't need it, they will demolish the house on the land deed and rebuild it." Pesini told Jerome.
.Bonaparte responded.
"Demolish it and rebuild it? You can't demolish it! Everything in the castle is a precious treasure." Jerome Bonaparte quickly replied to Pesini.
"Your Majesty!" Pesini continued holding the land deed in both hands without saying anything.
"Alas!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed, "I reluctantly accepted it! By the way, how much does this castle cost? We must pay them truthfully!"
"Your Majesty, I have already paid!" Pesini responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Just pay it all!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded. Of course he understood that the gap between the "paid price" mentioned by Pesini and the real value on the land deed should be at least 10 times smaller.
Sometimes you can't be too harsh on your subordinates.
Corruption was a problem that was not uncommon even during the Third Republic.
There have even been scandals like the Panama Canal Company. From the president to the prime minister to lower-level officials, they can eat a company into a shell, and all the company's money is used to honor those bureaucrats. It is simply appalling.
After the incident, the management and cabinet of the Panama Canal Company resigned.
Those "conscientious" civil servants continue to focus on the next "sacrifice".
"By the way, have you brought the person I asked you to find?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pesini.
It took Pesini an instant to remember that he seemed to have asked that guy to wait in the living room for him to inform him before he entered.
While talking to the president, he almost forgot about the existence of the "guest".
"I almost forgot!" Pesini patted his forehead: "Your Majesty, the person you are looking for is in the living room now. Do you need me to call him over?"
"Go!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Pesigny.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was staying in his study, ordered his servant to bring three cups of coffee.
It didn't take long for Pesini to bring the distinguished guests he had invited from Le Crezzo to Jérôme Bonaparte.
He has fluffy and messy brown curly hair, a slovenly face with two pearl-like eyes, and a brown jacket paired with beige trousers, he looks like a man who has just returned from the construction site.
Worker.
He pinched his beige trousers with both hands, his eyes filled with the perseverance of a scientific worker.
Jérôme Bonaparte stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said to the distinguished guest in front of him: "Welcome to the Elysee Palace, Mr. Eugene Schneider!"
That's right, the guy in front of you is Eugene Schneider.
If you are a military mini, you must have heard of the "Miss 75" produced by Schneider Artillery Company. Its "hot" rate of fire made it famous among the French army during World War I.
The so-called "Italian gun" in Bright Sword is "Miss 75".
If you are not a military fan, then you should definitely know something about the famous Schneider Electric Company.
The founder of Schneider Electric, which has survived for nearly 100 years, is Oren Schneider.
"Hello, Mr. President!" Eugene Schneider bowed his head and saluted Jérôme Bonaparte. His eyes were always looking at the president in front of him curiously.
Although he had heard about the president in front of him from his brother Adolf Schneider, he obviously had a deeper understanding of the president after seeing the president in person.
A little friendlier than what my elder brother said.
Eugene Schneider thought to himself.
However, he still didn't understand why the president took him all the way to Paris.
In terms of value, the eldest brother who is in charge of all the banking business of the Schneider family is obviously more valuable than himself.
Far fewer people invest in industry in France than there are financial speculators.
In addition to the fact that the profits of industrial capitalists are lower than those of finance, there is also the fact that the atmosphere in France as a whole is moving in the direction of speculation.
This has also led to the fact that most of the French industrial capitalists have a strong sense of self-protection. They would rather rely on the profits earned from their own industry to slowly expand than financial capitalists to inject capital.
This has left many financial capitalists with no way to invest, and they are afraid of not being able to compete with professionals if they do it themselves.
Adolf Schneider and Eugene Schneider were brothers. One was deeply involved in the banking industry and expanded his network of contacts in Paris, while the other took root in industry and expanded its scale.
Only when the two complement each other and achieve each other can Schneider Company continue to be brilliant.
However, Jérôme Bonaparte also knew that the Schneider brothers had historically invested a large amount of money in their cousin. After the collapse of the Second Empire, their political speculation almost lost everything.
"Mr. Schneider, I can call you that!" Jérôme Bonaparte said kindly. He respected every industrial capitalist and scientist, because they are the ones who truly create value.
"Your Excellency, of course you can!" Eugene Schneider responded fearfully.
"Mr. Schneider, I called you here today to ask you some questions! You should know that the Department of Public Works is building a railway!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Eugene Schneider.
"Of course... of course!" Of course Eugene Schneider knew, because part of the iron plates for the construction of the railway were provided by his company. His brother Adolf Schneider also said to himself that the Minister of Public Works Morny said that the future railway
The locomotives are also supplied by their company.
"That's right! I think France's current steel production is too low, and we need to increase steel production! What do you think?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Eugene Schneider.
"Of course! Your Excellency, President, do you want our company to increase production?" Oren Schneider asked tentatively.
"No, no, no! What I mean is that the existing equipment can no longer meet our needs. Can we update the equipment?" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and asked.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me!" Eugene Schneider tried his best to use a tone that would not offend Jérôme Bonaparte and said condescendingly: "I also know that the existing steelmaking method cannot meet the demand, but I want to
It is too difficult to invent a completely new steel-making method. Sometimes it takes a little luck!"
"It seems that God still favors me!" Jérôme Bonaparte stood up with a smile, and Eugene Schneider and Pesini quickly stood up as well, "You don't need to sit down!"
After saying that, Jérôme Bonaparte came to the desk alone and leaned over to open the bottom drawer and take out a rolled up drawing.
