Chapter 249: Forget it from exhaustion
The Yusupova family’s industry and George’s industry do not conflict, but are somewhat highly complementary.
The Yusupova family's industries are all traditional industries, including flour, sugar, coal, steel, and even oil.
The only large-scale industries under George's name are cosmetics and automobiles. Food, medicine and lighting are not large-scale yet, and they have not been targeted by Yusupova.
Automobiles are highly related to steel and oil, so it’s no wonder Yusupova is tempted.
If it were George, George would have to get it at all costs.
"What's the use of selling the car factory to you? You don't know technology, sales, and management-"
George really didn't mean to belittle, and Compared with the industries under George's name, the industries owned by the First Lady's family really don't have much technical content.
Yusupova didn’t think so, so she said angrily.
“George, if you say I don’t understand technology, it’s fine. If you say I don’t understand management, you’ve only been working in a factory for a few years?”
This——
If you want to put it this way, your family started relatively early.
But starting early doesn’t mean anything. The Yusupov family started out as a slave trader in the 17th century, and for hundreds of years they were still engaged in flour and coal. There was essentially no progress, and they are not something to be proud of.
At least here in George, there is no right to be proud.
“How much wealth can each worker in your factory create for you on average?”
George is still very confident in this aspect.
Yusupova couldn't answer it at all. She had never paid attention to this question.
“This is the biggest difference between us. You never pay attention to efficiency, let alone technological progress. Even if you sell a car factory to you, your factory will be eliminated before long.”
The reason why George didn't sell the factory was that the Trans-Siberian Railway was not George's personal property. Why should George sell the factory for the Trans-Siberian Railway?
Yusupova completely got the wrong person.
"If you don't sell the factory to me, don't let me buy bonds. Don't think I don't know why you are so hard to promote the Trans-Siberian Railway!"
Yusupova was angry.
Once a woman becomes willful, there is no reason to explain.
“Are you serious?”
George couldn’t bear it.
Although George didn't want to break up.
But if Yusupova is acting recklessly, George still wants to say: Don’t be so shameless!
The First Lady sounds quite bluffing.
But it’s okay to bluff others.
It was not enough to scare George.
George didn't want to kill her, so he talked to Yusupova slowly.
Otherwise, the dirty information about the Yusupova family would be enough to ruin the Yusupova family.
"George, can't you tell, Zina is joking."
Felix finally stopped pretending to be dead.
Yusupova stood stunned for a long time, and finally forced out a smile to George that was uglier than crying.
"Yes, I'm just joking."
George looked at Felix and then at Yusupova, which was meaningful.
"It's better to be a joke——"
Felix's expression was as usual, and his smile was really handsome, making people feel like spring breeze. No wonder Yusupova wouldn't marry him unless he was the one.
"George, I always thought we were friends, why did you let Americans help you sell bonds but didn't come to me?"
Felix's expression was sincere, and George almost took it seriously.
“Because your asking price is too high——”
George helped sell bonds for the Trans-Siberian Railway, and Yusupova was even thinking about George’s car factory.
If George asked Yusupova to borrow money, Yusupova would not let George mortgage Vladivostok.
“I told you it was a joke——”
Felix took the initiative to pour tea for George, somewhat as an apology. George remained calm.
Felix considered speaking.
“You know, Zina has steel and oil companies under her name. These two industries are highly related to automobiles, so even if you don’t want to sell the automobile factory, does your automobile factory need investment?”< br>
It’s not impossible to invest.
"It's okay if it's another factory. Let's be honest. I don't want to invest in your factory, but I want to invest in your Amul."
Felix wants a lot.
“You may not know that I just came back from Vladivostok last month. To be honest, Vladivostok surprised me. It is completely different from St. Petersburg and full of life. , has a bright future, and the most important thing is that Vladivostok is far away from Europe.”
Felix can attract Yusupova by more than just his smile and the ability to have a son. .
“So?”
George likes to hang out with smart people.
“It seems that our family doesn’t have a house in Vladivostok yet, right?”
Felix asked Yusupova.
Yusupova's expression was a bit disgusted and her tone was harsher.
“No!”
The Yusupov family owns at least 30 properties across Russia, and they don't have to stay in a hotel wherever they go.
“Great, we should go to Vladivostok to build a house. I heard people say that winter in Vladivostok is so much fun.”
Yusupova twitched the corner of her mouth.
“You’re right——”
George didn’t speak and quietly watched the performance of the two parents-in-law.
"George——"
Felix looked at George with pleading eyes.
"Sooner or later, you will be happy with your decision today."
George has to admit that rich people have many choices.
Having decided to invest in Amur, it is no problem to buy bonds.
Nikolai also gained something. The Reichsbank agreed to lend 10 million rubles to the Trans-Siberian Railway. In addition to the 5 million that George obtained from Yusupova's family, at least in the short term, the Trans-Siberian Railway will not be suspended due to funding reasons.
The only regret is that Mikhail was not punished by the Tsar. He even still served as a member of the Trans-Siberian Railway Committee and was not affected at all.
If Yasan doesn’t pursue the case, it’s natural that George won’t be able to catch him.
In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, George approached Werther and asked him to formulate a stricter financial system. At the same time, he would review the accounts related to the major railways and cut off any culprits.
Witt frowned, as if he had something to hide.
"What?"
Nicholas did not understand it immediately.
"Your Highness, if the accounts are reviewed, the consequences could be serious."
Witt did not want to stir a hornet's nest.
“What do you mean?”
Nicholas was furious. He never expected that anyone in the committee he led would dare to reach out.
Witt didn't dare to say anything and looked at George with pleading eyes.
"Don't make it difficult for him. Unless you are determined to get to the bottom of it no matter who is involved, the accounts will never be clear."
George knows the twists and turns here too well. Around.
In just two years when the Vladivostok railway was built, no less than 40 officials were dealt with due to financial problems.
Vladivostok is a blank sheet of paper, and the officials are all carefully selected by Mikhail. There are still some people who cannot resist the temptation.
The forces in Chelyabinsk are intertwined and involve many interests. If we really want to investigate, we must first arrange for Witte to live in Oak Camp.
Otherwise George is worried that Werther will be exhausted before the accounts are cleared.
