Merlot immediately stood up when he saw the man who spoke.

When Han Huaiyi turned around, he heard him shout "sir" in French.

It must be Fa Dong who can make Mellot so respectful.

Sure enough, the person who came was the chief director of the French Concession Public Board of Directors, 52-year-old Mr. Fei Voli this year.

Fivoli is a Parisian, a military family but rather eccentric.

His great-grandfather was one of Napoleon's admirals, and in the famous Battle of Abouquir, the French fleet lost to the British under Nelson's command, which indirectly prevented the French from falling to the French.

Fevoli was deposed and humiliated.

But fate is so embarrassing.

The great emperor who chanted to conquer the Alps finally came to naught under the watchful eye of the pyramids of forty centuries.

All those who followed him on his expedition were liquidated, and instead the Fivoli family was reborn from the ashes of the empire.

Fivoli's grandfather thus became the commander of the new French Navy.

But an unexpected one came along.

When Fivoli's father grew up, he joined the army in a deviant way, and the mix was not satisfactory.

Old Fevoli only understood after middle age, it turned out that the too smooth teenage years were not happiness, and after waking up, he forcefully let his son return to the glorious navy.

The unexpected struck again.

Fivoli inherited the old guy's rebellious genes.

In the navy, he stopped working as a captain, and then failed in business.

When people reach middle age, they are almost as successful as old Fevoli.

The father and son were relatively embarrassed because of this, and despised each other and said, "We both have a good life, but why are we so cheap."

Forget it, the two losers finally came up with an idea.

Although we failed in the army and couldn't do business, there is still a way to not have any real skills, and that is to engage in politics.

To everyone's surprise, Fevoli is very talented in this area.

After he entered the political circle, he had a sharp eye, stood in line accurately, and was good at dancing with long sleeves, and in just five years, he became the deputy mayor of Paris.

When touching the ceiling of life, Fivoli accidentally came across Ben Marco Polo's travels and suddenly made a great decision.

The world is so big, he wants to go to the Far East.

Then he went out in spite of anyone's objections.

The opponent who was going to fix him saw that this product was so free and easy, and he was embarrassed to block him again, and even secretly helped him.

It happened that Bai Wanyu had a bad reputation because of the Siming Gong Office incident, so Fei Volli became a director of the French Concession in the Pearl of the Far East in the second year after coming to China.

In Paris, there are various restrictions.

In the Far East, he is the emperor!

The reason why Han Huaiyi knows this is because Merlot regards him as an idol, so he talks about the life of the idol and his friends.

After listening to Melo, Han Huaiyi understood why he could make Merlo appreciate it so much at the beginning.

Feelings, this product is used to following the loser's two hundred and five.

At this moment, after the two losers of France and China met for the first time, they instantly smelled a smell of the same kind from each other.

Han Huaiyi immediately stretched out his hand: "Mr. Feivoli, look up for a long time." ”

"Charlie Han, look up for a long time." Fevoli spoke almost in unison.

After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time, and Merlot said on the side, "Monsieur Favoli has always wanted to see you, but you are too busy. ”

"Merlot, you should have told me earlier that Mr. Favoli is such a funny and kind person, I just didn't dare to let you introduce me in the past because of the gap in status."

After a while, Fei Volly, who didn't have much of a fight, asked Charlie Han to sit down.

Merlot was also present as an interpreter.

Of course, Mr. Fervoli's English is okay, but sometimes he gets stuck.

He immediately talked about the previous topic, this person is indeed a politician but has the genes of a loser and a soldier, so he is a complex mixture of seeing people and talking about people.

With people like Han Huaiyi, he chose to get straight to the point: "Mr. Charlie, what you just said resonates with me very much, the French Concession is indeed too small, but due to our own reasons, we can't expand westward again, this matter is a headache for me." ”

"I can be the pioneer of westward expansion, but I need your support, sir."

"I've always supported you because I admire you, especially since you're a friend of Merlot." After Fei Volli finished speaking, he asked Charlie Han: "What kind of support do you need from me?" ”

"Interest-free unsecured loans, not more than 100,000 is enough. But it must be repaid in ten-year installments. There is also the priority of land selection when the French Concession expands westward in the future. ”

"What else?"

"I'm not an insatiable person without sir, and that's perfectly enough for me." Han Huaiyi's condition was well thought out, so that he would not worry about Fei Voli's refusal.

Fei Volli groaned and said, "What is the scope of preferential land selection rights in the French Concession in the future?" ”

"A hundred acres of land."

"I agree with that, but an interest-free unsecured loan is not possible, and I can give you a low interest because the bank has to make money."

"Yes."

"You haven't heard me talk about interest yet."

"I trust Mr. Fivoli, so whatever interest you help me get, I'll say yes." Han Huaiyi said very openly.

Comparing the status of the two, he actually has no room for bargaining, and it is already good to be able to get an unsecured loan.

Because this is enough to support his next career territory.

He released such an attitude, and Fei Volli smiled with satisfaction and said, "Sure enough, it's Charlie Han." So what are you and the Qing court going to do? ”

"The reason why I took out a loan was to lease the land and build, to create the fact of possession and gradually expand, but not to cause any trouble."

"I understand, you are very wise, this will not cause any public opinion and conflict, OK, I promise you everything." Fei Volli was completely relieved, because he had heard Melo talk about Han Huaiyi's ability in the Qing court.

But Han Huaiyi felt that this was not enough.

Since the atmosphere was so good, he suddenly asked Merlot: "Merlot, my friend, how about I suggest that our firm add a secret shareholder?" ”

This is actually the opportunity he has been waiting for.

Melo was not surprised, and said: "Charlie, you have the final say in the affairs of the comptoir, but it really embarrassing me that you guys actually told me the secret of my cooperation with you in front of my boss." ”

"I didn't say anything in front of your boss, I said it in front of a secret shareholder." After Han Huaiyi finished speaking, he smiled and said to Fei Voli: "Mr. Fei Voli, are you interested in secretly joining our New Rome, Merlot is your confidant brother, I am so presumptuous." Of course, I can only give you 10% of the shares. ”

He will be the last shareholder in the territory of Han Huaiyi's own business, and he has always reserved a share.

Because Han Huaiyi is not a boy who scatters wealth, but he knows the truth that a single tree cannot become a forest.
