[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"Huh? It looks a bit like..." Anna sighed softly.

Everyone saw it.Although the design elements of the two pictures are not the same, the styles are somewhat similar at first glance.

It's like it was made by the same designer.

Guell's face became serious. "Mr. Gaudi, I won't just suspect people without evidence. But I still want to confirm with you again, is this your own design?"

Antonio said lightly: "Yes."

What a boring question.

He looked at Jose's sketch for a moment, and suddenly understood something, and raised his eyes to Boaba next to him with a hint of teasing.

"Well, I can testify," Boaba managed to recover from his panic, and quickly said, "This is Antonio's own design. The similar styles of the two pictures are probably because... we both went to the same person Professor's class."

He looked at Antonio with an almost desperate begging for the first time.

Antonio glanced at him with a calm expression, without any emotion.

An ominous premonition gradually surged in Boaba's heart, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Then, I heard the boy's indifferent voice: "Maybe."

Antonio wasn't interested in fussing with them about the details.From time to time he looked absently in the other direction.

Boaba's heart suddenly relaxed, and he almost went limp.

"Oh, so that's the case." Count Guell laughed and said to Jose: "Facts have proved that school education is still very helpful for the growth of young people."

He lowered his head and asked his little daughter who had been curiously poking around, "Anna, which design do you like?"

Anna's little head struggled for a long time between the two design drawings, and finally made up her mind: "I still like Mr. Gaudi's candy house."

Boaba breathed a sigh of relief.

Antonio must have seen it.Although his homework was very scribbled, it is probably a casual work, and his father made changes and re-creations based on his own copying according to the conditions of the earl's house, but it is the original author after all, and it is impossible not to recognize it anyway. .

He didn't expose himself on the spot, Boaba was actually somewhat surprised.If Anna chooses her father's plan...he will probably embarrass himself on the spot.

Boaba didn't dare to look at his father's face.He was sure that his father must have disappointed himself again.

Jose smiled.His bright black eyes reflected an elegant and charming light, but his smile did not reach his eyes: "Very good. It just happened that the spring break has begun. I think Mr. Gaudi will join my team soon to take charge of the roof project."

"It's an honor." Antonio nodded, and couldn't help but glance at the corner not far away.

Surrounded by flickering candles and flowers, the veiled black-haired girl chatted with another person.

She is so welcome.

Antonio was really concentrating on studying the design drawings at the beginning, but when he glanced casually just now, he saw a blond boy whispering something in her ear, and then she stretched out her hand and pushed him without hesitation, as if the two were very close familiar.

After that, he couldn't help but start to get distracted.

Just now it was blonde, this time it is brunette.From gray-haired middle-aged men to stiff and shy teenagers to smiling teenagers, it covers all age groups.Each kissed her hand, and one even tried to kiss her cheek, but of course she avoided it.One was more enthusiastic than the other, making her giggle.

This one talked for a long time.Not only that, the girl even began to get closer and closer to the black-haired youth unconsciously.She even poured him a cup of tea herself, and seemed to be recommending the "authentic" way of drinking tea without milk and sugar.Even though she was wearing a veil and from a distance, he seemed to see the sparkle in her eyes.

What are they talking about?

"Then, Antonio, see you at the construction site in a few days!" Antonio was patted on the shoulder.

It's finally over.

Antonio walked towards that corner, halfway there, he suddenly turned another corner.

He took a copy of "Barcelona Daily" from the table piled with various carnations and fiery red pomegranate flowers, and took another glass of champagne, walked silently to sit on the sofa a few steps behind Joy, and began to read the newspaper.

His eyes swept over a bold headline on the front page, and he couldn't help but move his eyes.

"Siemens has a financial crisis?"

Joey couldn't help but sit up straight, and shook hands with lace gloves, "Let me confirm, the founder of the company is Mr. Siemens from Germany? The one who invented the generator, or the electric motor?"

The college entrance examination is a bit long ago, and she can't remember it clearly.

"You know a lot," the young man with a little French accent smiled wearily, "Yes. Mr. Siemens invented the electric motor and proposed the working principle of the generator. But I have to correct you, really It's not a financial crisis, please don't believe those irresponsible fake news."

He was tired, and he was really tired of explaining.

"The company now wants to launch several new products as soon as possible, including elevators and electric locomotives, which are unprecedented inventions. Electric cars are also in the process of research and development. The prototype design of the elevator was actually completed a few years ago, and the current development and testing are basically It's done, it's just because we need to rush to mass production to occupy the market, and the funds can't be turned around for a while, so..."

"Very good, I vote for 2000 million pesetas." Joey stopped the conversation without waiting for him to finish.

"...Uh, are you serious?" Erwin, the partner of Siemens who came out to solicit sponsorship, was caught off guard for a while.

He came to Barcelona, ​​where it is said that there are many emerging rich people, to seek financing, but he hit a wall everywhere.The steam-powered textile industry here is in full swing, and the participants are making a lot of money. No one is willing to invest in such an unknown industry as their company.

Erwin stayed in Barcelona for a week. He was already disappointed with the investors here and was about to go home.Because of his personal friendship with him, Count Guell invited him to another ball before he left. The kindness was hard to refuse, but he came, but he had already given up hope of attracting investment.

It was the young lady who first showed interest in his business.He knew that women didn't have any sustained interest in these unaesthetic things, but out of professional instinct, he introduced her politely, and he didn't expect it to be such a big benefactor.

Are all Spanish aristocratic ladies so extravagant?

Is he cheating the ignorant girl?

"Don't be too happy, I have conditions." Joey blinked slyly, "My 2000 million will be taken back in three months."

"Huh?" Erwin felt the feeling of heaven falling into hell, "This is too short..."

"After three months, I will use the money. But this does not mean that the capital will be withdrawn after three months. If your company can launch the product within two months, I believe it will be sold out soon. If the time comes If you can get dividends beyond the principal without selling my shares, then I will continue to increase. Mr. Erwin, do you not have confidence in your company?"

"Ah? Of course there is. All we make are groundbreaking inventions..." Erwin replied subconsciously.But he is really a little bit uncertain-R&D is a very expensive thing, and not everything can be put into application and realized.To ensure that so much profit is generated in three months, it is only possible unless the new product is very popular.

Although Mr. Siemens is full of confidence, he actually still has doubts. Would anyone really want to install that huge, rumbling and dark elevator in his house?It's just a few floors, don't the legs need to be used as decorations?

Erwin shouldered the task of attracting investment in various European countries. The 2000 million promised by Miss Fernandez was very attractive, but he was really worried that the company would not be able to pay back by then and would fall into a bigger financial crisis.

Joey glanced at him with a smile, and changed his posture comfortably, resting his slender fingers under his rosy cheeks: "If you promise, I will add another 2000 million. A total of 4000 million."

Erwin immediately agreed spinelessly: "Deal!"

He thought with some confidence, all these money can be buried in Siemens, and it can always pile up a popular product all over the world, right?

Erwin was calculating, and the abacus in Joey's mind was also crackling.

Another sum of money was spent, but finally it was a foreseeable sum of money that could earn a sum of money with interest.

Earlier, Pascal's property details were sent to her, and she finally figured out what kind of situation she was facing.

Liabilities, 1.43 million pesetas.The repayment period is three months later.

Two days ago, the land in Valencia has been basically negotiated with the seller, and the price has reached 6000 million pesetas.Although this price may not be particularly ideal, she was eager to get rid of it, and finally decided that this price was also acceptable.

In 1873, it was the era when the second wave of the Industrial Revolution overwhelmed the first wave.If the land is only used for agriculture, it is doomed to depreciate in the hands.She needs industry to make money, and money to make money.Not only do they have to make money, but they also have to be as good and fast as a sow giving birth.

After getting 6000 million pesetas, she was not in a hurry to pay back the money—what to do with the remaining 8000 million pesetas if she couldn’t fill the hole?

Anyway, there is still time, she plans to find some ideal investment projects in the next few months, and do some short-term quick money-making businesses.

She was used to using credit cards when she was still in school.The monthly consumption is spent on the credit card, and the living expenses, scholarships and part-time manuscript fees received are invested first, and the credit card is repaid in the second month, just to earn the interest of that month.

Speaking of which, she was still tightly held by the fund before she wore it.Thinking about it after more than 100 years, Joey felt a little happy for the first time.

Well, now 6000 million of the 4000 million have found their proper home.I believe that the characters in the history books will not let her down.

Joey had learned from Earl Guell before that if Montjuïc was to be bought, all the taxes in various names would cost nearly 2000 million.It is precisely because of this astronomical figure that no one wants Moreno to give away for nothing even with a snot and a tear.

Joey turned his mind in his mind.In fact, she may have a way to get the city hall to exempt herself from taxes, even if it is only a partial reduction.There are many nights and dreams, and if it is delayed, maybe other business wizards will think of the same method.

But she has nothing to do with the city hall now, and she even has a little festival. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve her goal smoothly at the moment.If it took 2000 million to buy Montjuïc, the money she got from selling the land would be spent at the speed of light.

Joey sighed with a headache.The fat of Montjuïc is very attractive, but unfortunately it is too big. If you bite it off, it will not be digested in a few years, and there is a certain risk of food accumulation.

Politics lesson learned a long time ago, don't put all your eggs in one basket.Not even two.

We must find a way to make a quick profit first, and then let her get on line with the city's talkative manager.

what else can we do?
