Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao smiled obscenely, but Alexei understood the meaning. It is nothing more than the fact that the Black Sea Fleet’s warehouses were empty because of some unqualified leaders’ behaviors that violated professional ethics, and then because of some indescribable reasons, the higher-ups were unable to allocate food to the Black Sea Fleet, so they had no choice but to use money to send rice. Prince Hail Gorchakov, let His Excellency find his own rations.

Then the news of making money was known to an unscrupulous grand duke, and this unscrupulous grand duke directly set his sights on Wallachia's granary, ready to start trouble.

But, if you understand it, you understand it, this does not mean that Alexei thinks that a certain Grand Duke can successfully earn this money.

"How is this possible? No matter how idiotic and stupid the Wallachians are, they still cannot sell their precious grain to their enemies!"

"That's because you underestimated their immorality!"

Li Xiao didn't take this seriously, because in his opinion, there was no problem with this operation. All he needed to do was to make money from black-hearted intermediaries.

"Well, even if the people you mentioned have no morals at all, are the people of Wallachia foolish enough to allow those who have no morals to do this?" Alexei asked naively.

Li Xiao shrugged and replied lightly: "The common people are the easiest to fool. You just need to tell them that selling grain is good for Wallachia, and they will accept it!"

"It's not good at all!" Alexey went crazy, "An idiot knows it's not good at all!"

"Who says it's not good?" Li Xiao snorted contemptuously, and said mockingly, "Selling food can raise a large sum of money, and with funds, you can buy arms, and with arms, you can resist aggression. Is there something wrong with that? "

Alexei was stunned, because according to the logic of a certain Grand Duke, there was nothing wrong with this. But he never thought that a certain grand duke and his black hearted Wallachian friends would really spend money to buy arms.

"Of course I will! Why not?"

It's just that Li Xiao's answer made Alexei doubt his IQ again. He asked suspiciously: "Really buy arms for Wallachia? Isn't this causing trouble for us?"

Li Xiao was still so calm, he waved his hands indifferently and said, "Why is there any trouble? Buying ammunition also takes time, it is impossible to pay for it with one hand and deliver it at the same time! There is a cycle!"

Alexei asked: "You mean that even if Wallachia paid the money, it is impossible to get ammunition during the war?"

"of course,

Li Xiao replied solemnly, "Force majeure like war will naturally affect the delivery of goods!" "

Alexei suddenly felt that the Wallachians were a bit pitiful. If they followed the script of a certain grand duke, they would have neither food nor ammunition, and even cheapened the Black Sea Fleet that was short of food. It's a blood loss!

And a certain Grand Duke earned the price difference from the middleman in vain, and even a Wallachian asked a certain Grand Duke to help him buy arms. This time, someone may make a lot of money this time.

In fact, Alexei's thinking is still too simple, because Li Xiao is a hundred times more cunning than him, how can he only make money with the above little bit?

Vishniak has already told him that Duke Mikhail Gorchakov's desire for food is undeniable. As long as there is food, the price is really easy to talk about. Anyway, he is not short of money now.

Therefore, the grain that was smashed from Wallachia will definitely be sold by Li Xiao at a sky-high price, and he also expressed his gratitude to both of them. Someone sent charcoal in a timely manner.

Note that this is just the first wave of making money. The second wave is the sale of arms. Li Xiao will definitely use the evil intentions of the middlemen to the extreme, and monopolize or at least occupy most of Wallachia's arms purchase contracts.

To put it simply, Li Xiao signed a contract with the Wallachia provisional government, promising to sell them arms. However, Li Xiao does not have arms, so he is still a middleman. With David Leboeuf's relationship, it is not a big problem to get a batch of low-quality and high-priced garbage from France.

And this is a huge price difference, coupled with the customary rebates at both ends, can this amount be less?

What's more, these munitions will not be delivered to the provisional government of Wallachia in the end. After the munitions are handed over from the French government to Li Xiao, a middleman, he will detain them. Then, wait for the Wallachia provisional government to collapse, the provisional government no longer exists, and naturally there will be no delivery problem.

Then this batch of arms Li Xiao can be sold to the new Wallachia and Moldavian governments again, provided that Alexei can really become the governor, and then this will make a fortune, right?

Back and forth, it was tantamount to Li Xiao buying Wallachia's food and ammunition for nothing, and it was completely empty-handed.

Anyway, this kind of coquettish operation is not common in later generations. After all, there are not many people like Wallachia who have been taken advantage of.

Of course, many details in this operation still need to be polished. Because Wallachia is not a fool, at least the IQ of Wallachia's elite still exists. If you want Wallachia to enter the pit obediently, you must first use enough benefits to lower the IQ of these elites.

Li Xiao is still confident about this, because this group of guys are really unscrupulous, and they have never thought about fighting Russia with real swords and guns, so they will definitely not object to this last chance to make money. As long as the money is enough, everything is not a problem.

"Your idea is really...really groundbreaking..."

Jan Constantine was confused by Li Xiao's ghostly operation. He didn't expect that someone had so many ways to make money, but he was a bit unscrupulous.

Of course, this is not to say that Jan Konstantin refuses, but that he feels that doing so is too disrespectful, and it is easy to be caught by political opponents and beaten to death. After all, the business this time is too big. Even if ordinary people can be fooled, old foxes like George Stribe and Jan Gika cannot be fooled. If the truth is exposed by these old foxes, it will be a lot of fun.

"Don't think about eating alone!" Li Xiao smiled, "Go and have a good talk with George Stribe and Jan Gika, how can you miss such a great opportunity to make money, you will still have a lot of money to spend in the future, no Taking advantage of the fact that you can earn more money now, what will you do in the future?"

Seeing that Jan Constantine was still hesitant, Li Xiao continued to encourage, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Besides, as long as you keep your mouth shut and operate properly, who will know the truth?"
