[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

When Zhao Changqing said this, two well-known bankers in Paris were standing outside waiting to be summoned.As one of the top bankers in Paris, whether it is Philiberto Orly or Bailey Fugue, they are all millionaires. Of course, their wealth cannot be compared with top rich people like the Segur family of.

In their hearts, the Segur family is the richest man in the world, a top wealthy family beyond their reach.Before today, the Segur family had always been an insurmountable powerful family in their hearts, a family so rich that even the late King Louis XIV would be envious and jealous, but now they heard what Zhao Changqing said, and they suddenly realized that Segur The aggressiveness of the Er family seems not so scary anymore.

Thinking about it again, it makes sense.

That's right, what about the high profile of the Segur family?So what if even the king of France envied their wealth?His Royal Highness the Prince of the Far East does have the right to look down on them, whether it is wealth, background, or style.

Thinking of this, the minds of the two bankers became active.

Although it is said that through [Michael's gift], Zhao Changqing publicly stated that he would buy a large piece of land in Paris to dig a canal, but it was Philiberto Orli and Pele Fugue who were really running for it. A millionaire: They advanced funds for Zhao Changqing, lobbied those citizens, and helped those citizens find new houses, in order to vacate those places earlier.So far Zhao Changqing hasn't produced a single grain of wheat,

All of the expenses are advanced by them, not to mention their time and energy for it.

However, even purely from the perspective of business and interests, they are profitable.

After all, food prices are skyrocketing across Europe right now.In sharp contrast to this, the price of real estate and real estate has dropped again and again.Whether it is France or other countries, there is a food shortage. Not only other places, but even Paris has had several riots.

If you count the rise in grain prices and the fall in real estate, the difference will make them a lot of money. If they are more ruthless, they can use the grain they are about to get to make more money in the stock market and futures market. a sum.

Even if they were kind and sympathetic and used grain to value from the beginning, it would only be good for them to empty out the old grain in their warehouses and fill them with new grain.

The difference is just earning more and earning less, whether it is money, reputation, or both.

However, the most important thing right now is to get the first batch of grain from Zhao Changqing.God knows, it is already the limit for Paris to survive until today.If they don't take the food back, they don't know if the gate of their house will be demolished.

Both Filiberto Oli and Pele Fugue were filled with resentment.

Because it is the third level, because it is the third level in law and politics, so even if they are working for the prince of the Far East, they cannot meet the prince in the first place.

What made them even more speechless was that those nobles only cared about their vineyards, but no one thought that Paris and even the people of France were in the hell of starvation!

Isn't the most important thing now to complete the delivery and get the first batch of grain from the prince by the way?

Well, France is a three class society, priests are the first class and serve the king with prayers, nobles are the second class and serve the king with swords, and the third class are pariahs who can only exist as the king's cows.

As bankers, Filiberto Orli and Bailey Fugue had a deep empathy for their Jewish counterparts in England hundreds of years ago.

Because the hope of the citizens of Paris rests on the Prince of the Far East, and because their fortunes are all on the Prince of the Far East, they are extremely respectful, and even use the etiquette of meeting the Pope—nonsense, the Pope is just God How can a spokesperson in the world be more honorable than the incarnation of the right wing of God in the world?

This made Zhao Changqing stunned for a moment when he found out that they were cautious.Although Zhao Changqing traveled through many worlds, the first world is his root.In that world, although Westerners admire Chinese food and culture in various ways, the West has always discriminated against Chinese people. They think that Chinese people are very unqualified, that Chinese people are not worthy of talking about art and ideas, and that Chinese people Man is a second-class race, blah blah blah.

Therefore, seeing these two Frenchmen and Paris millionaires in the first half of the seventeenth century, how could Zhao Changqing not be moved?

All kinds of kneeling and licking by Westerners towards Chinese people only exist in novels.

This is a scar deeply engraved in Zhao Changqing's heart in that world.

Zhao Changqing's pause made the two bankers tremble uncontrollably.They all thought that Zhao Zhangqing was upset because of their own disrespect.

Unexpectedly, the attitude of the prince of the Far East fully met the standard of amiability, and even the first sentence when he mentioned the business was:

"Can you draw up the French version of the power of attorney?"

Filiberto Oli and Bailey Fugue both froze for a moment.

Yes, in France during this period, the securities market and futures market have developed to a certain extent. Of course, various related laws and regulations have also been gradually improved.Especially the two professions of lawyers and stockbrokers let the nobles know that if the power of attorney is not standardized, it will be their own losses, and lawyers and stockbrokers also understand that the nobles are not fools. Well, they are the ones who die in the end.

Therefore, relevant laws came into being.Aristocrats need to ensure that their interests are not lost, and lawyers and stockbrokers also need more things to protect their lives.

Of course, such things as power of attorney have never been related to the church or faith.Because Europeans will find loopholes in the contract, but they will not abandon their beliefs. The persistence of this belief is even detailed to the point that Catholics will not choose Protestants as their agents, and Protestants will not be willing to serve Catholics. At the same time, as believers, when they serve the church they belong to, they are all sincere and uncompromising.

Therefore, when Zhao Changqing asked them for a power of attorney, they even felt a little wronged: Don't you trust me (us)?

Seeing the expressions of the two bankers, the old and immortal Zhao Changqing immediately guessed the other party's thoughts, and he said lightly: "In any case, I am still a royal family in a foreign country. In the end, it became a major issue of confrontation between the two countries. For your safety, I suggest that it is better to set up a power of attorney."

Hearing what Zhao Changqing said, Philiberto Oli and Bailey Fugue smiled, thanked them again and again, and then followed the book and the clerk to the side hall to discuss.

Zhao Changqing's Chinese version of the power of attorney has been completed, and he has explained it to the relevant personnel in detail. If this can still make people take advantage of the loopholes, it is best to replace these books and clerks.

As for Philiberto Oli and Bailey Fugue, they are already dizzy.They feel that when providing services to these Far Easterners, it is best to bring two lawyers with full licenses. No, maybe even professional lawyers with full licenses may not be able to answer the other party's questions.

However, although they were dizzy from being asked, they still got the power of attorney in duplicate, each in Chinese and French, and one copy was placed in the hands of the Far East.As long as these powers of attorney are notarized, after they come into effect, they can get a huge amount of wheat and flour from Zhao Changqing.

Thinking about the price of food today, and the price difference between now and Paris during the New Year, you can see how valuable this document is in their hands.

In order to complete the entrustment as soon as possible, they signed out a lot of promissory notes, and it has been almost three months today.Without this document, it is hard to say whether those creditors will feel that their credit is in jeopardy. If so, what they will face is a terrible run.

Creditors don't leave money in the hands of people they think might go bankrupt.

On the contrary, if the creditors see this power of attorney and see the mountains of wheat and flour, they will only be more willing to lend them money so that money will generate money.

In other words, these two powers of attorney represent unlimited credit!It is also equivalent to countless gold!

The two bankers quickly went to Royan, found a local notary, and paid for two nobles to be witnesses, completing the notarization task in the shortest possible time.

Soon, the news reached the ears of Louis XV and Cardinal Fleury, but, faster than the news, it was the punts.

After receiving the news that the notarization was completed, Zhao Changqing's boats immediately divided into two teams. The sharp-bottomed boats naturally stopped on the sea as usual, but the flat-bottomed boats sailed into the mouth of the Loire River.

These are treasure ships, and one of the characteristics of treasure ships is that their draft is very shallow.

在西方的船只的船长和船宽比例高达9:1，这个数字甚至有越来越大的趋势的时候，宝船的比例基本上在4:1，有的甚至还是3:1。这也是宝船的载货量为什么这么高而吃水却很浅的原因。

Because the displacement is spread evenly from the width, naturally, the depth is reduced.

The food | water | depth of the treasure ships is between 5 and 6 meters, and the bottom of these treasure ships has now added a suspended magic circle, so that even if these treasure ships are full of food, they can still sail on the Loire River— — except that several ancient bridges over the Loire had to be torn down, because otherwise the treasure ships would have been impenetrable.There is no way, these treasure ships are hard sailing ships with too high and too many masts, and they cannot be dismantled, and no one dares to dismantle Zhao Changqing's boats, so naturally they have to dismantle those ancient bridges full of historical memories.

Of course, it’s not that they haven’t had a relationship. Zhao Changqing quickly responded that they will rebuild a new bridge on the Loire River as soon as possible to meet the needs of life and trade on both sides of the strait. But for the Parisians who are starving for food Say, where are these centuries-old bridges more important than their bellies?

They were desperate for flour so they could have a good meal.Seeing that the food was on the way, but could not reach Paris for one reason or another, the citizens of Paris could be said to be outraged. If Philiberto Orly and Bailey Fugue, who had gone through the witch hunt movement, hadn't paid great attention to publicity, Timely use the leaflets on the street to tell the Parisians where the boats are, and the disappointed Parisians are likely to riot because of this.
