Do you want to start a political party of your own, or join an existing one? Louis Reno slowly cuts steaks.
This time it was not at the Big Weaver Restaurant, but at the Black Swan Castle. Qin Zhiyuan's chef did a pretty good job in making Western food. Although he was not as good as the chef at the Big Weaver Restaurant, he was still passable.
At least old Reno wasn't picky.
Of course, the reason why old Renault is not picky is because this is the Black Swan Castle.
I am not yet able to form a party, so I want to cooperate with others. What do you think of Raymond? Pierre asked Qin Zhiyuan for his opinion by the way.
Soldiers are not allowed to have political leanings, so Pierre did not belong to any party before.
But if he wants to enter politics, Pierre must find more allies. As a soldier, being arbitrary may work, but as a politician, being arbitrary is a recipe for death.
Just like Clemenceau now.
Raymond is not bad. He has a solid background and good resources. Old Reno was noncommittal.
For example, people like old Renault never express their feelings easily or let others know their thoughts easily.
This also depends on the person you talk to. If the person you talk to is Qin Zhiyuan, you will be more direct.
I don't think that's a good idea. Raymond does have resources, but others have seen Raymond's ability to govern, and their expectations for Raymond are limited. Pierre, if you really want to make a difference, you should show up as an independent
, giving people a refreshing feeling and making people look forward to you, then even if you cannot enter the center in a short time, it will be more beneficial in the long run. Qin Zhiyuan has a different opinion.
No, no, no, if Pierre wants to do something, someone must act as his guide, just like Ferdinand and Louis did for you. What Pierre needs now is not image, but qualifications and experience.
, Pierre may be able to attract the attention of voters by virtue of his energy alone, but he will not win their real trust. The old Reno insisted on his opinion.
For Pierre, everything in politics was new, and he was also a newcomer in the political world. The son of a marshal entering politics might be able to attract people's attention, but it would be difficult to win people's trust.
Therefore, Pierre needs a leader and needs to gain seniority in the cabinet organized by others and gain experience at the same time.
For Qin Zhiyuan, the noble people in his life were Ferdinand Foch and Louis Lyautey. Without Foch and Lyautey, there would be no Qin Zhiyuan today.
Of course, this is a bit absolute. It should be said that without Foch and Lyautey, Qin Zhiyuan would never have climbed so fast.
Seeing that Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault had their own opinions, Pierre couldn't eat anything.
If you enter politics, Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault can be said to be Pierre's biggest backbone now. Although old Renault himself is not in politics, he has always had his own spokesperson in the political circle; not to mention Qin Zhiyuan, the Corsican parliamentarian is simply
Qin Zhiyuan's cook, gardener and maid.
Er, that last sentence is the original words of the British Sun newspaper.
No one in France dares to say that.
I think at the beginning, I should not act too different. I do need experience. There is no doubt about it, but I also don’t want to follow what others say. If possible, Qin, I want to start from Corsica and follow Portlet first.
Tom and Marie are learning from experience. You know, I lack experience in dealing with voters, and my previous experience in the army is not suitable for politics. Pierre chose his words carefully.
Not bad, Pierre had his own ideas, Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault exchanged a satisfied look.
If you want to learn experience, I don’t recommend you go to Corsica. The voters there are too talkative and you won’t learn much experience. I suggest you stay in Paris, such as Boulogne-Billancourt, where you can do whatever you want.
It was necessary. Old Renault was finally willing to give me some advice.
Louis is right. Corsica's experience is not universal. You can't learn anything anywhere. But Paris is different. This is the fashion capital in the center of the world, a place that countless people around the world aspire to. You can learn nothing here.
You can indeed learn more when you meet all kinds of people. Qin Zhiyuan agrees with old Renault's opinion.
Corsica, how should I put it, is Qin Zhiyuan’s kingdom now. Mary and Portlem are the cooks and maids mentioned by the Sun. There are almost no disputes or conflicts of interest there, so naturally there will be no
Requires coordination and communication.
Then what experience is there?
Boulogne-Billancourt, where the Renault factory is located, is different. With the gradual withdrawal of Chinese workers, many new people have joined the old Renault factory, including workers who have just joined the factory, old employees who have temporarily left due to the world war, and more
Migrant workers from other parts of France come to Paris to try their luck, where there are more conflicts and it is easier to gain experience.
It would be best if he could stay in Paris. Pierre did not resist the arrangements of Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault.
Of course Pierre would not resist. Being able to become a member of Parliament in Paris was an achievement that many French politicians could not achieve in their lifetime, but for old Renault, it was just a matter of words.
It seems that if Pierre can't get ahead in the future, it's really unreasonable.
Life is never fair.
Well, in order to increase your campaign funds, forget it, I will transfer part of my own shares from lll company to you. Qin Zhiyuan is generous.
lll company is no longer appropriate to use the word "company" to describe it. lll owns clothing factories, specialty stores, security companies, supermarket chains and hotel chains in preparation, and even a daily chemical department in preparation.
Well, lll group is more appropriate to describe it.
In France today, the LLL Group is a giant. The company's total assets have exceeded one billion francs, and it can provide Qin Zhiyuan with profits of tens of millions of francs almost every month.
Tens of millions of francs is indeed a lot, but Qin Zhiyuan also has an even bigger gold-eating monster in his hands, namely penicillin and United Oil.
Qin Zhiyuan holds 60% of the shares of Lll Group, and the remaining 40% belongs to the Garcia brothers. The small company at the beginning has now become one of the top giants in France. The Garcia brothers are also the invisible rich in France.
Eighty percent of the 60% shares held by Qin Zhiyuan belong to the officers of the original Foreign Legion, because when he founded Lll Company, the money at that time did not belong to Qin Zhiyuan himself, but to all the workers.
At the very least, they belong to the dozen or so Chinese workers who were related to the original batch of gold.
The shares Qin Zhiyuan mentioned were the part that belonged to Qin Zhiyuan, which should be about ten percent.
Oh, this is a big deal, old Renault applauds.
Even if it's just 10%, that's millions of francs, and that's every month.
No, Qin, I don’t need money. Even if I retire from the military now, I still have my own salary. I think I can pay for my own life. Pierre still doesn’t understand.
Of course, I know. Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault looked at each other and smiled.
It's not just for you to live those luxurious lives, but for campaign funds. You may not understand it now, but you will understand it later. Old Renault doesn't want to explain too much, because he really doesn't know where to start.
.
How much money it costs to run an election is really a bottomless pit, and even with Old Renault's wealth, he doesn't want to spend it on it.
In fact, Pierre had a lot of shares in Qin Zhiyuan's industry before. If Pierre doesn't want to go into politics now, then even if he lets Pierre spend it as he pleases, he probably won't be able to spend it all in his lifetime. But if he wants to go into politics, then
No amount of money is enough to spend.
If you look at Huang Bohan, you will understand that this big shot, who once ranked 14th on the world's richest list, has spent nearly 100 million US dollars in just six months as Prime Minister Lan Fang. It can be said that most of his family fortune has been lost.
Of course, for Huang Bohan, this is an alternative investment, and in the future, Huang Bohan will receive a return of ten times or even a hundred times.
For Qin Zhiyuan, spending money is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money is spent, it is not enough, because Qin Zhiyuan is now solely responsible for Lanfang's military expenditures. This is a big project, and even a rich man like Old Renault cannot bear it.
By the way, Louis, have you ever thought about investing in Lanfang? Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to invest in Lanfang.
What old Renault are you interested in investing in.
Telephone, if you are willing now, you can invest in Lanfang's telephone, or railway, anything. Qin Zhiyuan is very liberal.
For Lanfang now, there is no forbidden area in the investment field, because in Lanfang, no matter what industry it is, state capitalism is adopted.
This so-called state capitalism means that no matter it is any industry, the state must first occupy half of the shares, and then the rest of the insufficient funds can be raised from the society. No matter who buys these shares, they will not have any
There is also no transfer right for management rights and disposal rights, only the right to receive due dividends.
In this case, there is no need to worry about the so-called loss of national assets, and there is no need to worry about the lifeline of the national economy being controlled by the enemy.
It sounds good. In fact, you don't have to explain it to me. There is no barrier between us. If you need me to pay, you just have to say it. Old Renault doesn't care.
The old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan have many cooperation projects, from the aircraft factory to the United Petroleum Company to Australia's Angel Jack. These are the fruits of the cooperation between Qin Zhiyuan and the old Renault.
Because of Qin Zhiyuan's appearance, the capital in Old Renault's hands has at least doubled compared to before the war. This made Old Renault extremely trusting of Qin Zhiyuan. Even if Qin Zhiyuan asked Old Renault to invest in Germany now, Old Renault would not hesitate at all.
Well, I will return to Lanfang in a while. Do you want to go and inspect Qin Zhiyuan's strike while the iron is hot?
Of course, if you are not in Paris, then Paris will be so lonely. Regardless of whether you invite me or not, I will definitely go to Lanfang to have a look. Old Renault answered in the affirmative.
