Struggle in Russia

Does David LeBoeuf love money? That's true love, he's just a money stringer, it's not an exaggeration to say that his whole body is full of copper stink.

Of course, this is also related to his own experience. He was caught up with the French Revolution in his youth and was forced to live in exile.

As a result, it is natural to pay special attention to money. Lebouf is actually very similar to the Jews. Later generations say that the Jews are the best at doing business and making a lot of money. Is this impression correct? You can say yes and you can say no.

Because the reason why Jews do business is because European countries generally discriminate against them, they are not allowed to own real estate, they are not allowed to be officials, and they can only do business if they want to survive. For the Jews, this is the only livelihood, and if you don't know it, you have to know it.

The same is true for Leboeuf. He himself is not a miser, but several down-and-out experiences force him to seize every opportunity to accumulate wealth, because if something happens, he will have to rely on it to survive.

People are forced out, no one is born good at something. But today is different. For Lebouf, although the old benefactor treats him so-so, but at the critical moment, he has the grace of life for him. It's okay to help out and get benefits, but not with Li Xiao.

Immediately, he flatly refused: "Uncle, I still owe you this little money? Don't do this with me!"

But Li Xiao still insisted: "Uncle Lebouf, you must accept this share, otherwise I may expose my identity... Think about it, I gave 10% to Pelleni, so naturally it is impossible for the middle contact If you don’t care about it, you must accept the 5%!”

Lebouf hesitated, because Li Xiao's excuse seemed to make sense. His previous style of doing things was to pluck the feathers of the goose, so it didn't make sense not to take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! But he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Li Xiao's excuse, as if something was wrong!

But just at the moment of such hesitation, Li Xiao has already forced it over: "Then it's decided, Uncle Lebouf, you are also the major shareholder of the Wallachia Petroleum Company, you have to help us spend more money." How much strength!"

Lebouf shook his head amusedly, and did not refuse any more, but said with a smile: "It seems that I am also on your thief ship. Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Li Xiao replied: "You still need to put more pressure on the Provisional Republic of Wallachia through diplomatic means. Now that the British are messing with our affairs, Brother Bretianu is taking advantage of us!"

Lebouf sneered: "It's the British again, this group of shit-stirring people like to play this kind of trick the most! Is that Cojon playing tricks again?"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "It's him,

Looks like he wrote a letter! "

Lebouf smiled: "That's why I came here. That old man Pellaini also heard the wind and knew that Ke Hong was doing bad things, so he specially sent me here to support you!"

Li Xiao and Vishniak immediately cheered up and cheered, "This is great, we will be able to handle it with your help!"

But Lebouf was not as optimistic as they were. He shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy. The old man Pelleni and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not interested in managing Wallachia at all. France's focus is on domestic affairs. Until the revolutionary movement of the Communist Party of China completely settles all this, these gentlemen will not mind meddling in their own business."

Lebouf sneered for a while and said: "That is to say, your performance in Wallachia was so outstanding that Pelleni saw some hope of making political achievements, so I made an exception to let me express it. I really support you Don't even think about it, Pelleni can't go hard on the British, and now the officials are wise and safe, so they won't take the initiative to cause trouble!"

Li Xiao is not particularly surprised by this. Bureaucrats do not distinguish between nationality and race. Bureaucrats all over the world are like birds, and they all follow the concept of not taking responsibility, not taking responsibility, and not expressing their opinions.

So Li Xiao didn't expect that Pellaini, who loves money so much, to really fight against the British for him. He just wanted to use the tiger's skin as a banner, and use the chicken feather as an arrow.

On the contrary, Anton asked naively: "Giving him 10% of the shares can't make him sincerely help?"

This childish words made Lebouf laugh out loud, he patted Anton on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My child, remember Uncle Lebouf's words, although money can turn ghosts around, but like Pellet A little clever ghost like Ni is not only lazy and doesn’t want to push the millstone, but also opens his mouth like a lion. It is impossible to feed him! No matter how much money you give, he will lose the chain when it should be! The key point Time can't be relied on!"

Li Xiao also said: "What's more, it's impossible for us to give that greedy guy too many benefits, otherwise we would not be married to someone this time. Just give him some sweets, borrow his name and ask him not to do us bad things. .”

"That's right!" Lebouf nodded again and again, "Only you can rely on yourself. You are not a real man if you rely on the sky and the earth to rely on your parents!"

After some emotion, Lebouf asked again: "Andreka, what are you going to do?"

Li Xiao replied with a smile: "This requires your cooperation. Tomorrow we will visit Perrier together. You will put pressure on him from an official and superior point of view, and I will put pressure on him from a personal and financial point of view to force him to be more powerful." Put strong pressure on the Bretianu brothers and let them know that France and us are very unhappy!"

LeBoeuf replied happily: "That's no problem! Then?"

"Then..." Li Xiao asked with a smile: "You must have friends from the conservative National Party, right? Even friends who don't have your friends should have connections in this regard, right?"

Lebouf smiled and said: "Of course there are, indeed! It's time to visit the enemies of the brothers, otherwise they thought we only have them as partners!"

Smiling, Lebouf suddenly asked: "Andreka, how much of the mission have you accomplished here? Don't focus on extracting oil and water from the Wallachians and forget about the business. The channel has heard some rumors that Nicholas has been in a bad mood recently, and his temper is getting worse every day, and that tyrant is irrational when he goes crazy!"

Li Xiao immediately attracted attention, and hurriedly asked, "What happened again?"

Lebouf sneered: "What else can happen? It's not dissatisfaction with the status quo. That guy wants to repeat the glory of 1814 all day long, wants to conquer Paris again, and clamors every day to hang all the mobs, saying The passiveness of Prussia and Austria is entirely due to incompetence and weakness. In short, they are cursing people every day, dissatisfied with the Russian army's procrastination and watching the revolution spread in Europe, thinking of changing a minister of war, and then your two cousins ​​did it for this Ni Qiang's infighting has started again..."
