When news of the miners' riots returned to Ambanza, Elvis and Oliver suddenly felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
Casimir Perrier's mine in Ankelika is Casimir Perrier's largest mine in Madagascar, but it brings the most to Casimir Perrier.
A profitable mine.
Last year, Ankelika's mines brought nearly three million francs in profits to Casimir Perrier Company. Therefore, Casimir Perrier Company suffered heavy losses in this riot, with direct economic losses reaching
Nearly 15 million francs, Casimir Perrier Company, which was already facing financial constraints, suddenly became even worse.
"In addition to the losses to the mine, we also have to compensate the victims, which is another large expense. The total cost is expected to be around 2.7 million francs." Ellis frowned. During this riot, a total of
32 French managers were killed by rioting miners. According to French law, Casimir Perrier Company must compensate them.
But now the Casimir Perrier Company cannot afford even 270,000 francs, let alone 2.7 million francs.
The failure of Lorenzo Marquez's investment did not stop Oliver.
In order to prove his investment vision, Oliver once again invested millions of francs in the North African provinces of France, trying to develop new financial resources for Casimir Perrier Company.
If the Perrier family still has some influence in Madagascar, then in North Africa, the Perrier family has no one to rely on.
In addition, the North African Province has not been stable recently. Italy and the Ottoman Empire are competing for Tripoli and Cyrenaica. The situation in North Africa is deteriorating. Italy and the Ottoman Empire have reached the brink of war. France's North African Province is also inevitable.
Affected, so although Oliver's investment in North Africa has not failed yet, it has not produced much benefit. If the situation is to be reversed, investment will need to be increased.
This is also the reason why Oliver wants to reduce expenses. Without the injection of follow-up investment, Oliver's investment in North Africa will probably be lost.
"This part of the compensation can be deferred. Now the company has no money. We have to wait until the company's financial situation improves before we can pay the compensation." Oliver's original intention was not to compensate, but that was impossible, Jean Casimir Pe
Rieux offended many people during his tenure as president. Although Jean Casimir Perrier has passed away now, the enemies of Jean Casimir Perrier during his political tenure are still alive, so many people have been watching
Casimir Perrier Company is just waiting to cause trouble for the Perrier family.
"Impossible, we have to pay within three months, otherwise we will be taken to court." After all, Ellis has received higher education and knows that some things can be overcome without cheating.
"Then sue, I would rather give the money to the lawyer than to those vampires!" Oliver said without hesitation.
Including Robert, everyone who was qualified to participate in the meeting immediately changed their faces.
Oliver's words are indeed a bit harsh. The "vampires" Oliver calls are all employees of Casimir Perrier Company, and Casimir Perrier Company should be responsible for their safety.
Now that they were killed in the line of duty, Oliver not only refused to actively compensate, but instead described them as "vampires", which is really too much.
Robert did not speak, but lowered his head and fiddled with the Itno gold pen in his hand. This was the reward Robert had prepared for his son.
This year, Robert's son will graduate from Ziwei Public School. Although Robert's son's studies are not good, thanks to the friendship between Robert and Rock, Robert's son still successfully got the opportunity to study at the University of Nyasaland. This team
The golden pen is Robert's coming-of-age ceremony prepared for his son.
"Shut up, if it weren't for your investment mistake, we wouldn't be in this situation." Disaster was approaching, and Elvis finally couldn't stand Oliver's nonsense.
At this time, Elvis probably still didn’t know what was wrong.
"This is not my responsibility at all. If the security guards of the mine had not colluded with the miners, there would not have been such a big loss." Oliver immediately found a scapegoat.
So everyone immediately looked at Robert.
"I have long said that those Malagasy people are not trustworthy." Robert still spoke slowly.
"If you are not trustworthy, then why did you hire those Malagasy people? Now if something goes wrong, you should take full responsibility." Oliver chased after him.
Robert didn't speak and looked at Oliver like he was an idiot.
"Speak? Shouldn't you explain?" Oliver thought Robert had nothing to say.
"I will explain to the lord." Robert didn't want to talk nonsense to Oliver. Oliver was obviously blaming the blame now. Elvis and Ellis are family members to Oliver. No matter what Robert said now, it would not change everyone.
Position.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. We have to find ways to get through this difficulty." Elvis is still calm, and simply passing the blame will not really solve the problem.
The current situation is indeed very difficult for Casimir Perrier Company. In fact, there is something that Ellis has not said yet. According to the original agreement between Jean Casimir Perrier and Roque, Casimir
· Perrier Company will pay last year’s dividend to Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company in June, but the money has been misappropriated and invested in the North African province by Oliver, and it cannot be withdrawn in a short time, so for Cassie
For Mir Perrier, the real crisis has not yet broken out.
If Casimir Perrier Company does not pay compensation to the victims, then Casimir Perrier Company will at most be sued in court.
But if Casimir Perrier Company does not pay the due dividends to Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company, then according to the original agreement between Jean Casimir Perrier and Roque, the Perrier family will
Management of Casimir Perrier Company was transferred to Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company.

In that case, the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company has the final say on how much money the Perrier family can receive every year, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Perrier family.
Of course, Robert also knew very well about Oliver's misappropriation of funds to invest in the North African provinces, so Robert was not in a hurry. The more hysterical Oliver acted now, the more it proved that Oliver was guilty.
"Robert, send a telegram to the Lord. I'm going to visit him in Nyasaland -" Elvis had no choice but to go to Nyasaland Bay Pier, hoping that Roque could help the Perrier family tide over the difficulties.
.
This is Elvis's first trip to Nyasaland. Before Elvis took over as chairman, he did not go to Nyasaland to meet with Rock.
"Okay -" Robert smiled. The telegram can be sent, but it is not certain whether Rock will meet Elvis.
Some people always think too highly of themselves. The reason why Jean Casimir Perrier was able to get along with Roquela was because of his status as a "former president". Elvis is the younger brother of the "former president". After all, he is not a "former president".
"President" himself, so it's not certain whether Roque will give him face or not.
Later, Jonathan and Todd came to Robert's home in Ambanza.
Ambanza is the largest city in northern Madagascar. It was the largest city in this period, but of course it is not much bigger. The entire city's area is not much larger than Ziwei Town, and its population is only more than a thousand people.
"That idiot has climbed to the edge of the cliff, and he will slide down by himself without us pushing him." Robert never mentioned Oliver's name in his own family. When he talked about Oliver, he always used "that idiot" instead. "Are we playing too big this time?" Jonathan was a little uneasy. Ankelika's mine is the main source of profit for Casimir Perrier. Even if Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company takes over Kakarika in the future,
Simile Perrier Company also needs to spend more energy on rebuilding.
"It doesn't matter. The mines in Ankelika have been basically exhausted. Even if they are not blown up, the resources will be exhausted in half a year at most. It is best to do this now. In the future, Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company will take over Casimir Perrier
company, you can also sell the mine at a good price -" Todd is responsible for resource exploration at Casimir Perrier Company, and he knows the situation of the mine very well.
There are many French companies in Madagascar, and Casimir Perrier Company is only a relatively large one among them, not even the largest. If Casimir Perrier Company says it wants to sell the Ankelika mine,
I’m not worried that no one will buy it.
Of course, this must be under the premise that the information is not leaked. Elvis and Oliver also know this situation. If Elvis and Oliver want to sell the Ankelika mine, then Robert will arrange for someone to proactively leak the information.
Get out.
In short, the Perrier family is not allowed to make money, so that the Perrier family will continue to make mistakes in order to fill the hole until they are cleared out of Casimir Perrier Company.
"That's good. I'm worried that the loss will be too great and will make the Lord unhappy -" Jonathan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, why should we bother with Casimir Perrier Company? If Lord wants to make more money, he can just set up a mining company." Todd thought the problem was a bit simple.
"This is Madagascar, not Nyasaland -" Robert hit the nail on the head. Although Britain and France are now allies, their relationship is not very good. The rift caused by the Hundred Years' War is not so easy to mend.
Madagascar is the last enclave in Africa. Although France has repeatedly claimed that Madagascar is French territory, the Malagasy people do not recognize it and have been resisting. There must be something fishy here. Without the support of external forces, the central highlands of Madagascar would not have been able to hold on for so long.
Time.
Churchill described Italy as having a good appetite but a mouth full of rotten teeth. This evaluation also applies to France.
