Chapter 585: Routine after routine (asking for double monthly votes)
Hayman hesitated.
He works hard to enable his family to live a better life, and gaslighting can obviously greatly improve the quality of life.
He looked at his wife: "How much savings do we have?"
"11 pounds." The woman said hopefully, "That's enough."
Hyman exposed He gave a handsome smile: "Okay, let's buy a gas lamp."
The most charming moment for a man is when he says "buy, buy, buy."
His wife happily stood on tiptoes and kissed him hard on the face, then hesitantly said: "Jim, you said...this is not a scam, right?"
No wonder she did Worry, there are more scams in this age than rain in London, and people have developed the habit of being wary of everything.
“Don’t worry about that.” Heiman hugged his wife and smiled. “The gas street lights over at the city hall have been put into use. I saw it with my own eyes. The mayor also gave a speech..."
Brooke's house across the street.
“I was right behind the mayor, surrounded by reporters.” Mr. Stephen Brook put a piece of beef into his mouth and said to Old Brook, his father across the table, “This is the whole There is nothing going wrong with this project that London and even the whole of Britain are watching.”
The little boy on the left side of the dining table is concentrating on folding paper boats with Lightning Company’s promotional leaflets.
Brook's wife immediately added: "Dad, the newspaper said that the distillery has been built. That is the most difficult and expensive part of the project."
Old Brook nodded: " 8 pounds is not too expensive, if it is as good as the advertisement says."
He immediately looked at his son who was a minor official in the city hall: "There is one thing that worries me a lot. Why should the company install the gas pipeline for free? They can definitely earn the 10 pounds."
Brooke said with a smile: "Because their project is overdue.
"This unlucky company started with the chief technician." The debt went to the United States. Then the body was dug up at the construction site and involved in the murder case.
“Their coal warehouse was set on fire by a mad woman again in May...
“So they failed to deliver the work on time and now they have to face high fines.
"In order to appease shareholders who have not made any money, companies can only find other ways, such as selling gas lamps, and they must sell a lot to make their financial statements look better.
" And think If you want high sales, you can only increase the discount rate. ”
Of course he heard this from his colleagues in the city hall, and the copy was written by Mesmer.
Mesmer and Carlona In order to deceive everyone in London, all doubts have been taken into consideration, and all the loopholes that need to be plugged have been patched.
Even if Holmes was born in London at this time, he would probably buy a gas lamp and go back. .
In the office of the general manager of Lightning Company.
Style handed the sales list to Kalona and said with some disappointment: "Only more than 1,600 were sold. We spent more than 4,000 pounds on publicity, and after deducting the cost of the gas generator, we made more than 200,000 francs. ”
“It has only been sold for a week. "Carona looked relaxed and said, "If you want to sell faster, raise the price of the gas lamp to 8 pounds 10 shillings. Then let the wind go, saying that it will rise next month. "
He waved his hand as he spoke: "And the main way we make money is never from selling these gas lamps. "
Style said in surprise: "Are there other ways to make money? "Yes, Mr. General Manager." At this moment, Mesmer, oh, it should be Baron Kevin Watson, should be doing a 'big deal'. ”
A high-end cocktail party is being held in a classical-style villa on Kensington Street.
The attendees were all celebrities or wealthy businessmen, and in the corner on the west side of the reception, Baron Watson was obviously tipsy.
At this time, he was completely different from the upstart image he had been in Austria. The whole person is calm and capable, and his manners are elegant and decent. With the beard and glasses, no one will recognize him even if he returns to Vienna.
"Baron Watson, please tell me some news." A man in his thirties with handsome blue eyes followed behind him and begged, "Even if you look at it, For my sister’s sake.”
When it came to his sister, Mesmer’s expression finally changed. Well, he spent last night with that Miss Helen Elwes.
"You know everything?"
"Yes, I know. Helen likes you, and I also agree with your things. So, we are a family now."< br>
"Okay, Sir Elvis." Mesmer showed a helpless look, "You must not tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, my mouth As tight as the cork on a wine bottle.”
Mesmer put down his glass, glanced around cautiously, motioned for him to come closer, and whispered: "Lightning Company will issue a high-interest bond through the Commercial Credit Bank, with interest rates as high as 35%."
" The income is so high!" Elvis was surprised.
“Yes.” Mesmer said with a matter-of-fact expression, “You may not know that Lightning Company will win awards from cities such as Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool due to its outstanding performance in the London gas street lighting project.
“Oh, according to reliable information, even the gas street lights in Lille, France will be built by them. "
"Really? Elvis's eyes widened, "There are so many cities that need to build gas street lights?" ! "
"Yes, our Prime Minister is not willing to be compared with the French. The gas streetlights in Paris were repaired early, and we will let more cities light up the gas streetlights. "
"Why would Lille let..."
"Ha, as long as the greedy officials are taken care of, nothing will be surprising. "Mesmer said, "However, starting so many projects successively requires a large amount of financial support. Lightning Company was unwilling to share projects with other companies, so it had no choice but to sell bonds. "
Elvis thought of the booming gas lamp sales in London in recent days and had no doubt about the strength of Lightning Company. He immediately nodded: "I do have some money on hand, maybe I can invest some..."
Mesmer waved his hand: "You can't buy it yourself. Such a high yield is only available to internal sales. ”
Elvis was so anxious that he grabbed him and said: "You must help me."
Mesmer couldn't get entangled with him, and finally sighed and said: "Okay, who told us to be Where is the family? If possible, let me introduce you to Mr. Goldmead.”
The Mercantile Credit Bank is Goldmead’s business in the UK. Joseph had promised him some business benefits, but now he has fulfilled them in Lightning Company's bond business.
“Thank you so much!” Elvis was very excited. “Helen is really lucky to meet you!”
Sir Elvis is by no means a fool. A lot of waste, on the contrary, he can earn an extremely rich net worth, and he is definitely a shrewd businessman.
The next day he rushed to Birmingham to learn about the gas street lighting project there.
