Frankly speaking, Jérôme Bonaparte's conditions are nothing compared to the value that Migne will create for him.
Once the Migne rifle and Migne bullet become popular in France, it will bring huge benefits to Jerome Bonaparte.
The Crimean War will have a more crushing ending than in the original history, and the French stock market will also climb to new heights as France wins successive victories.
Not to mention the series of benefits brought by the French army's early equipment of miniguns.
Migne and Gustav also thought of the last point, but they also understood that although they were the inventors, they could never join it.
Being in the army, they can intuitively feel the conservatism of the army more than Jerome Bonaparte. Without a strong relationship, it is simply extremely difficult to promote their rifles in the army.
Of course, Captain Migne and Captain Gustave did not dare to ask for anything like shares. After thinking for a moment, Captain Migne said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, I am willing to choose the second option!"
Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then turned to Captain Gustave: "What about you?"
Although he was reluctant to give up the 30,000 franc option, Captain Gustave gritted his teeth and chose the second option.
"Well!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded again, "You have made a wise choice!"
After speaking, he clapped his hands and two servants brought in the aluminum tray. On the tray was a fourth-level medal.
"In view of your contribution to France, France has decided to award both of you a fourth-class medal!"
After that, Jérôme Bonaparte placed the medals of the fourth degree on the chests of Captain Migne and Captain Gustave respectively.
Captain Migne and Captain Gustave saluted Jérôme Bonaparte at the same time, and Jérôme Bonaparte also saluted them both.
After the investiture ceremony was completed, Captain Migne and Captain Gustave knew it was time to leave the Elysee Palace.
The two of them bid farewell to Jérôme Bonaparte at the same time. Jérôme Bonaparte asked for their addresses and then ordered Wardray to send Captain Mignet and Captain Gustave out of the Elysee Palace.
After Captain Migne and Captain Gustave left, Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the study and called Pesini to the study as well.
"Pessini, how much money do we have at our disposal now?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pessini.
As the chief steward of the Elysee Palace, Pesini was silent for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, we don't have much funds left at our disposal!"
"How much is left?" Jérôme Bonaparte paced back and forth and said to Pesini: "Go and invite Mr. Emile Perel over and tell them that I have an investment that I want to discuss with them.
!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Pesini followed Jérôme Bonaparte's order to invite the Perel brothers.
The carriage carried Pesini through the streets filled with plane trees and stopped outside the Perel brothers' mansion.
After getting off the car, Pesini came to the gate of the mansion alone and knocked on the door.
"Who?" a servant's voice came from inside the door.
"Please tell your master that I am Pesini!" Pesini said to the servant.
"Yes!" the servant responded and then there was no movement. Only the faint sound of running was heard from inside the door.
Not long after, the door opened and Emil Perel appeared at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Pesini!" Emile Perel stretched out his hand and said to Pesini.
After shaking hands with Emile Perel, Pesini said: "Mr. Emile, the president has asked me to invite you to the Elysee Palace!"
"What an honor!" Emil Perel said with joy.
No one can refuse to maintain good relations with Dictator, unless he himself does not want to live permanently in France.
Pesini and Emile Perel got on the carriage to the Elysée Palace together.
In the carriage, Pesini explained to Emile Perel why the president invited him to the Elysee Palace.
"Your Excellency, the President, invite me to invest?" Emil Perel asked Pesini.
"That's right!" Pesini said with a meaningful expression: "Not everyone can be invited by the president. Mr. Emile, you must seize the opportunity!"
"Of course! Of course!" Emil Perel showed a perfunctory smile.
In his heart, he has equated Jérôme Bonaparte's invitation to invest with political investment. There are so many industries that can be invested in these days.
However, he is not disgusted with such behavior. The transaction of power and money has long been the norm in France. As long as he can get policy tilt, he is willing to invest no matter how much Emile Perel invests.
For a qualified financial capitalist, Emil Perel hopes that the president can borrow more money from him, so that he can show his presence in front of the president.
After all, it was not until the 19th century that the financial capitalists had not completely usurped the entire country.
Although they have more money than ordinary people can spend in a few lifetimes, their political status is still in a vassal state.
This has resulted in the old aristocrats who have the power to interpret culture to humiliate them as they please. This almost perverted hatred of the rich makes financial capitalists dare not be angry or speak out.
The best outcome for a financial capitalist is to serve as Prime Minister/Finance Minister for one or more terms.
The carriage slowly arrived at the entrance of the Elysee Palace. Under the leadership of Pesini, Emile Perel entered Jérôme Bonaparte's study.
This was his first time entering the Elysee Palace study room.
In the study, Jérôme Bonaparte was standing in front of the window lattice with his back to Pesini and Emile Perel.
The setting sun cast a long shadow on Jerome Bonaparte's body, and the shadow continued to cover Emile Perel and Pesini. For a moment, Emile Perel felt a trace of
Coolness.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Emile Perel is here!" Pesini reported to Jerome Bonaparte.
After hearing Pesini's report, Jérôme Bonaparte turned and looked at Emile Perel and said: "Mr. Emile, welcome to the Elysee Palace!"
"Your Excellency, thank you for the invitation!" Emile Perel quickly took off his hat and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Emile Perel to sit down on the sofa.
Emile Perel carefully sat on the sofa next to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Tea or coffee?" asked Jérôme Bonaparte.
After Emile Perel hesitated for a moment, he said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Coffee!"
"Two cups of coffee!" said Jérôme Bonaparte to Pesini.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Pesini turned and left the study.
Only Jérôme Bonaparte and Emile Perel were left in the study.
"Mr. Emile, I wonder what you think of France's arms industry?" Jérôme Bonaparte opened his mouth to test.
"Arms?" After Emil Perel hesitated for a moment, he shook his head frankly and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, my brother and I are not involved in the arms industry. We are involved in the arms industry."
Most of the famous fields are investments related to railways."
Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly realized that the Perel brothers in history had started their careers in civil engineering, so the brothers had extraordinary enthusiasm for civil engineering, especially infrastructure construction.
The future of Paris real estate and Paris' water supply will all be the work of companies under Perel's right.
Later, Emil Perel continued: "However, I heard that the profits in the arms industry are very considerable."
"Then are you interested in making an investment? Investment in the arms field!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Emile Perel in a calm tone.
Emile Perel hurriedly expressed his stance to Jérôme Bonaparte: "If it is for the whole of France, then we will do whatever it takes!"
"Don't worry! Mr. Emile, you will never suffer a loss in this transaction! If you are unwilling to invest, I will not force you!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Emile Perel.
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Emile Perel responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte placed the Migne bullet he had intercepted from Captain Migne on the table.
"This is?" Emile Perel looked at the round-headed bullet in front of him curiously. It was very different from the round-headed bullet in his memory.
"This is the latest model of bullet. It requires a special rifle to exert its maximum power. Its effective range is 500 meters..." Jérôme Bonaparte briefly introduced the Minie bullet to Emile.
Case.
"500 meters?" Emile Perel looked at this little thing in surprise.
Although Emil Perel has never used a smoothbore rifle, it does not prevent him from knowing that none of the current muzzleloader guns can reach this range.
"I can tell you clearly that France will complete the entire transformation within the next three years! After that, I will teach the arrogant Russian Empire a lesson in the Near East!" Jérôme Bonaparte told Emile.
Perel "completely" escaped from his plan, and then asked: "Mr. Emir, I wonder if you are willing to help me!"
Jérôme Bonaparte's words made Emile Perel feel dizzy.
The emperor's nephew really cannot do without war!
After a brief dizziness, Emil Perel realized this was an opportunity.
Since the president said he would fight a war in three years, he would definitely take action against Congress.
A president only has a four-year term, and an emperor has a term of at least 18 years. This means that as long as they help the president without hesitation, the Perel family can enjoy the benefits of political speculation for at least 18 years.
Even if the political speculation fails, it will just be a loss of money for them.
"Your Excellency, the Perel family is willing to serve France!"
