His Excellency the Count of Grandet

But no matter what, since Michelle has something to do, Charles temporarily put aside the documents waiting for him to deal with, and first see what the other party is doing.

"It's really not easy to see you now," Michelle said as soon as she got into the car, with a usual smile on her face, "Fortunately, even if it was a queue, I finally got there."

"You said that as soon as you opened your mouth. I should apologize for it." Charles replied with a smile, motioning him to sit in the armchair. "It's late at night, would you like something hot?"

Michelle sat down and waved her hand. "No, I only have one thing to do, I'll go back when I'm sure."

"Huh?" Charles leaned against the table and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Something?" Really?

If he remembered correctly, the last time Michelle approached him, it seemed that he wanted more benefits, whether it was political or economic?

Because this fact is not so necessary, he basically didn't care.Not to mention Victor's attitude, he himself is very busy, so he took the time to urge the progress of the drawing of the wine label.

Now, Michelle came up, is it really not to ask for a crime?

Michele stared at Ciel, crossed her hands on her knees. "That's right." He laughed, "Since you have become the Chancellor of the Exchequer, logically, I should congratulate you." When he said this, he seemed to have completely forgotten what he said to Charles last time.

Charles didn't answer for a while, because he was trying to figure out what the other party wanted to do.

Did Michelle really change her mind, or was it just a soft opening at the beginning?

But the conversation had just begun, and he hadn't gotten enough information from the other party's words and gestures to make a judgment.So he sat down in the armchair opposite Michele and leaned back a little. "You are too polite," he said with a smile, "Actually, as long as I have your words, it is enough for me. And then again, this is not my success alone, but also yours." Son, right?"

"It really upsets me when you say that." Michelle still smiled.In fact, they are invulnerable to polite words, but for the sake of face, they should express it like this. "Actually, I have prepared a gift for you. But I got on the bus too hastily, and I accidentally landed in Paris. For this, I have to make a special apology to you and ask for your generous forgiveness."

Charles waved his hand slightly. "That can be avoided," he said, "it must be a big gift for you to give away. After I receive it, don't I need to give you a gift in return to express my gratitude? With our relationship, it is necessary to be so troublesome." ?"

Michelle nodded kindly. "If you don't think it's necessary, it's what you want it to be," he said, nodding. "You really stick to your style, as always."

That's what he said, but in fact Michelle was relieved in his heart.He was worried at first, fearing that Victor had told Charles what he had done before; however, the current behavior of Charles did not seem to know at all.

This is really good!

His predictions about Victor's personality were absolutely right!In the past, he sneered at Victor's somewhat self-important character; but now, he is very grateful that the other party has such a problem——

Because only in this way can his plan to draw salary from the bottom have any hope of success!If Shire's attitude changes, he doesn't have to expect to stand up!

"Today," Charles slightly noticed this subtle change, "you don't want to just tell me about the previous incident, do you?"

"Of course not." Michelle replied immediately, straightening her back, showing her absolutely serious attitude. "I'm here today to confirm with you—the agent for the Americas, do you already have a suitable candidate?"

scare?Michelle wants to go to America?

Even if Charles had thought of a thousand and ten thousand possibilities, he never thought of this one.

Because this proposal is totally out of Michelle's usual style!Now the Americas, the United States is barely enough, and other regions are still in chaos (the struggle for colonial ownership and independence movements keep coming and going), it is really not a good place to go.

It is true that it is easy to fish in muddy water, but it is also difficult to guarantee your own safety in muddy water!

If there is nowhere to go, or if they have to go, few people on this side of Europe will take the initiative to go there.Even if the situation is better now, there are still a small number of people who want to leave their homes.

Obviously, in Michelle's position, there is absolutely no need to make such a bad move.He has already laid a solid foundation in France, so why does he have to leave everything he has gained and start over in the Americas?It's not that I'm idle and have nothing to do!

"If you are talking about someone who is in charge of this area, there is not yet." Charles replied, a little pondering, "but I don't know, when did you become interested in these?" Mingming any time before, Mi Cher didn't show that he wanted to leave France?Nothing at all!

"You can take it as the inspiration brought to me by the visit of the American mission." Michelle said. "I think you know what I mean."

Charles narrowed his eyes.Since Michelle said so, it must not be the visit of the American mission that made the other party make such a decision, or the American mission was not the whole reason. "A little bit... Would you mind going into more detail?"

"In this case, may I first list the benefits that a reliable agent will bring to you?" Michelle inquired, and continued after seeing Charles nodding: "The first point is that the raw materials are cheap and of good quality. .If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have chosen to order cotton there in the first place.

"The second point is your current schedule. I mean, being Chancellor of the Exchequer is an honorable and difficult task, and no one is better than you; but even you can't divide a person into three. Use , so that everything is perfect and appropriate.

"And one last point. You are going to build a fleet of ships that can go back and forth quickly between Europe and America, probably in order to transport your own goods. But at the same time, there are many other people who are also counting on your ship. The boat with the wind. Isn't it another big project to bargain with so many people?"

Charles still stared at Michelle. "I can't deny any of what you said." He tapped the smooth wooden handle slightly with his index finger, "But there is a basic premise for all of this," he said with a rising voice, "You mentioned it yourself just now gone."

He intends to do business with the Americans for a long time, yes; he is short on time, never too busy, yes; he has more things to do, still yes!To sum up, he certainly needs someone to help him with the affairs with the US, especially when the affairs with the US have just started and will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

But everything, the premise of everything, is that the agent must be reliable!

Michel said so, is it implying that he has completely surrendered to him?It's fine if others say so; can such an ambitious person really be trusted?Don't stab him back then, it won't be fun!

"I understand your concerns." Michelle obviously knew where the problem was.Although he had hooked up with Charles two years ago, due to various reasons, he was indeed not as trustworthy as he said verbally. "But I believe that no one is more suitable for the United States than me." He said to himself, "because I am the same kind of people as them!"

A class of people?Is it equally ambitious?That's true.

"It doesn't matter what you say about this kind of thing, only time will tell." Charles replied obliquely.

Indeed, he did not doubt Michelle's ability; but sometimes people are too smart and have too many ideas, which is of no benefit to an employer like him, especially when there is an Atlantic Ocean across.The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is impossible for him to follow Michelle back and forth between France and the United States, so how do you know if the other party will do something secretly?

"I understand." Michelle nodded again. "Do you want to know what really drove me to make this decision? After all, I'd be stupid if I didn't have a strong reason for it?"

"You really know this." Charles admitted without hesitation. "Motive is one of the important criteria for judging. You say that the visit of the Americans gave you that idea; and I would say that if the Americans were really as attractive as you say, it would have been long before the British came. It's time for you to make such a decision!"

"Then if you know the reasons I'm going to use to persuade you to agree, you will think I'm crazy." Michelle said so, but her smile was calm.

"I would like to hear more about it." Charles answered kindly.At the beginning, Michel had already paid 250 million francs as a partnership fund; now, can the other party come up with more valuable chips?

Michelle leaned forward slightly, lowering her voice. "I hope to only tell you about this matter. Only you can let me make this kind of decision." He said word by word: "If you are willing to trust me, then the income and expenditure of the first three years will be my loss." , Earn yours!"

Now, even Shire couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Just kidding, how can he lose money in his business?

That is to say, Michelle is willing to give him three years for nothing?

Pie never falls from the sky, so what's going on here?

"You are really crazy." Charles came to a conclusion, and began to tend to another conjecture. "Or, should I ask you, did you do something without my knowledge? And probably irreparably wrong—at least you think so?"

Michelle laughed.He laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. "You are really sharp enough," he said, standing up, "but I have nothing to say about it. If I have to mention it, I only have two." He stared at Charles, "the first sentence, only one person can Let me suffer twice, it is still a big one. The second sentence, the most powerful reason you need, after I leave France, someone will send it to your house."

After finishing these words, Michelle left directly, leaving only a very brief good night.Charles, still in his armchair, felt the whole thing slip away—

Who can tell him what Michelle did?
