Chapter 874 candidate

Basilio, who received the telegram, lowered his head and quickly read the contents of the telegram, then raised his head to look at Jerome Bonaparte again.

“I don’t need to teach you what to do!” Jerome Bonaparte spoke slowly, and said to Basilio in a calm tone.

“Your Majesty, please rest assured!” Basilio hurriedly assured Jerome Bonaparte, “I will find suitable personnel for them as soon as possible!”

“Yeah!” Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly and said in his usual tone, “I’ll leave this to you!”

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte’s voice fell, Basilio said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte.

After Basilio left, Jerome Bonaparte quickly opened the drawer on the lower level of the desk, took out a plain-looking notebook from the bottom of the drawer, and opened the notebook while flipping through it, while whispering. He muttered: “I remember that I did write it down at the beginning!”

After flipping back and forth a few times, Jerome Bonaparte finally found the page he wanted to find.

The page that Jerome Bonaparte turned to was filled with densely written simplified Chinese characters, not to mention French people, even the current Qingguo scholars can only understand them by half-guessing. Content.

“Gabon! Gabon!” Jerome Bonaparte kept sliding his fingers on it, and soon found what he needed. He said excitedly, “That’s right! This is it!”

I saw that the line pointed by Jerome Bonaparte was written: Gabon is rich in oil, wood and manganese ore resources, as well as scarce resources such as iron ore and gold.

“I remember correctly!” Jerome Bonaparte muttered to himself as he closed the notebook and put it back in the bottom drawer.

If Jerome Bonaparte is not wrong, the open pit mines mentioned by Jerome Paterson are probably manganese ore.

Because the gold mines do not need to send professionals at all, those in the colony are enough to identify the gold content of the gold mines.

Once it is confirmed that it is a manganese ore mine, then the price of steel in France will be lowered by another grade on the original basis.

And those manganese ore can not only be used to meet domestic production needs, but also can earn a certain amount of foreign exchange for France.

As far as current Europe is concerned, is there any country that does not use the “Bonaparte converter” designed “by himself” by Jerome Bonaparte for steelmaking.

The process of ferromanganese desulfurization is naturally essential for them, so they must buy a large amount of manganese ore from France.

Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte does this as well.

That is, European countries, especially the British Kingdom, will cast their sights on Central Africa earlier than history.

Those countries that originally had some advantages in Central Africa (such as the Kingdom of Portugal) will also have a sense of crisis due to the entry of Britain, thereby accelerating their expansion.

All in all, for some time to come, China and Africa will become the target of competition among countries.

However, considering the harsh environmental factors in the Central African region and the fact that the British Kingdom will start suppressing India in the next one to two years, it is very likely that they will not take action against the Central African region in one to two years.

That is to say, France’s short-term competitor is still only the Kingdom of Portugal.

Thinking that the Kingdom of Great Britain might face a difficult situation in the next one to two years, Jerome Bonaparte couldn’t help but smile, he shook his head and said to himself: “I really hope that the Qajar Dynasty can survive. For a while! If they can survive the Indian uprising, then the real crisis of the kingdom of Britain.”

He paused and sighed: “Hey! It’s a pity, this is just my wishful thinking!”

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte bowed his head again and continued to work.

On the other hand, Basilio, who was entrusted by Jerome Bonaparte, did not live up to Jerome Bonaparte’s entrustment to him, and personally went to the Ecole Polytechnique and sent an invitation to the professor of geology inside. , and promised that as long as he was willing to go to Libreville, the professor of geology would be able to enjoy the same treatment as the school.

At the same time, the Paris Norinco Group will reward him with another sum of money.

Although Basilio has resigned as the general manager of NORINCO, his influence in NORINCO has not diminished.

Many are still willing to follow Basilio’s orders and report to Basilio.

The reason is that Basilio was transferred from the North Industries Group to the Tuin Leli Palace, which is a promotion.

Now that Basilio has been promoted, there is no reason for the cronies who originally attached to his wings to betray Basilio.

After all, although Basilio was not in the same system as them, Basilio had more time in contact with the emperor, and the Paris Norinco Group belonged to Jerome Bonaparte’s private property.

Therefore, Basilio can still give a certain influence to the North Industries Group.

However, Basilion will not use these powers on the bright side.

In the final analysis, Norindustrie Paris belongs to the emperor and the Bonaparte family. He used to manage it as the general manager, and now he has no reason to manage it as a housekeeper.

If Basilio interferes too much with the personnel of the North Industries Group, he is not allowed to be criticized by the emperor.

At that time, let alone the North Industries Group, even he, the head of the Tuin Leli Palace, may not be able to keep it.

Basilio has never forgotten that the nominal head of the Tuinleli Palace is Virnia, and he is just “assisting” Virnia in managing the Tuinlery Palace.

If Virnia, who is the head of the palace, suddenly does not need assistance one day, then this “supervisor” of Basilio will be done.

But Basilio said he had no right to award a sum of money to the geology professor on behalf of NORINCO.

But he is confident that NORINCO will make the money.

The geology professor was also a little moved after listening to Basilio’s promise.

Although teaching and educating people is his dream, as long as there is enough money, the dream can be put aside for a while.

“Professor, what do you think?” Basilio looked at the geology professor with a smile and said to him softly.

“I…” The geology professor hesitated for a long time before making up his mind.

Just then, a voice came from the door of the geology professor’s office, “Professor can’t come with you!”

The professor of geology and Basilio turned to look at the door. It turned out that the head of the department of the Ecole Polytechnique was standing on the button.

“Hello!” Basilio said respectfully to the head of the department.

For every person of culture and social status, Basilio maintains enough respect.

“Director Basilio, Professor Ciel can’t leave with you!” The head of the department said to Basilio when he entered the room.

“Why?” Basilio asked back.

“Because Professor Shire is the most capable professor in our entire geology major! If he leaves, it will cause great losses to the entire geology major!” The head of the department responded to Basilio sincerely?

“If I hadn’t admired Professor Ciel’s ability, I wouldn’t have come here to invite him in person!” Basilio still smiled and responded to the head of the department.

“Your Excellency, I want to ask why you invited Professor Charles to go there?” the head of the department asked Basilio again.

After hesitating for a moment, Basili answered truthfully to the head of the department: “We discovered a mine in the colony, so we would like to invite Professor Charles to give guidance.”

After listening to this, the dean of the department responded to Basilio with a sincere expression: “Your Excellency, the Director, with all due respect! Professor Shire doesn’t need to take action at all. We are just any teacher or even a geology graduate. All can do the job!”

“Really?” Basilio looked suspiciously at the head of the department.

“Of course!” The dean of the department said to Basilio hurriedly: “Every student who can graduate from our school is an excellent talent!

Their knowledge of minerals is not inferior to that of our teachers, and our teachers are also excellent talents.

Mr. Basilio, there is absolutely no need for you to let Professor Ciel go there.

Professor Charles in the past will cost us a lot of students in France. ”

“If that’s the case, then forget it!” Basilio shrugged, and then said to Professor Charles, “I’m sorry to disturb your time!”

“It’s nothing!” Professor Charles shook his head and replied to Basilio: “Actually, I also want to thank you!”

“Thank me?” Basilio was stunned for a few seconds, then asked, “Why thank me?”

Professor Charles let out a breath and said to Basilio: “I want to thank you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has strengthened my heart for teaching and educating people! Just now, I almost promised to go with you!”

“Actually, it’s not too late to promise now!” Basilio half-jokingly, half-seriously said to Professor Charles.

“Forget it!” Professor Charles shook his head and refused, “Let’s keep this old bone in the school and continue to work! Colony is not suitable for me!”

“Then there is nothing I can do!” Basilio replied to Professor Charles.

Then, at the recommendation of the department head, Basilio “packed” a geology teacher and several graduate students away.

A few days later, the teacher and the graduate students arrived in Marseille by train south, where they met the messenger who had been waiting in Marseille.

After the two met each other, the messenger asked them, “Everyone is here!”

After the teacher and the graduate students glanced at each other, they nodded and said to the messenger, “Everything is here!”

“That’s good! Let’s go by boat now!”
