Make France Great Again

Chapter 448 Planning Committee (Part 1)

When Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the workshop of Norinco again, Basilio, Eugene Schneider, and François Wendel (the fourth largest steel giant in France, currently the well-deserved number one in France is Paris Norinco has countless subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The second steel company is Eugène Schneider. Due to the support of Jérôme Bonaparte, Eugène Schneider established a stronghold in Le Crezo and Lorraine. The steel business in the region was expanding rapidly) and a group of industrial capitalists appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte.

Looking at the group of guys crouching and trembling at his feet, at his mercy, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart. Among these people, there are many family businessmen who have been in business for more than a hundred years, and they are not yet under his control. surrendered under the cannon.

However, while Jerome Bonaparte was enjoying himself, he couldn't help but remind himself not to be fooled by the appearance in front of him. These guys were just a group of people who won and helped whom. Today's servants may become tomorrow's servants. killer.

Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte once again looked at this group of physical businessmen with a stern look.

All the businessmen who had been stared at by Jérôme Bonaparte subconsciously lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Among them, François Wendel even subconsciously took a step back. Francois Wendel, who was imprinted with the orthodox brand, really did not want to be subject to unwarranted "persecution" anymore. He wanted to follow his father's dream and establish a A steel empire of its own.

However, this dream became an unattainable dream after the collapse of the Orthodox dynasty after the Restoration. François Wendel's company was oppressed by the Orleans faction. The once docile local bureaucrats were under the influence of the Orleans faction. Under the hint, he began to bully them even harder.

His father died of depression because he could not bear the oppression. When François Wendel accepted the company, he had to swear loyalty to Louis Philippe in Paris, thereby gaining Louis Philippe's favor. For this reason, he Became a traitor to orthodoxy again.

Francois Wendel, who suffered the reputation of a traitor, spent 18 years turning the steel company that was about to declare bankruptcy into the second largest steel giant in France at the time.

However, the good times did not last long. The fall of the July Dynasty and the counterattack of the Orthodox faction made the steel empire established by Francois Wendel almost fall into pieces again.

After that, François Wendel, who was licking his wounds, witnessed with his own eyes the strong rise of Eugene Schneider Steel Company and Paris Nord Industrial Company. He began to be jealous of these two companies that had taken advantage of their privileges to establish, and he cursed them all the time in his heart. Collapse early.

Of course, Francois Wendel, who was a realist, was actively looking for opportunities to break the situation while he was cursing. When the Steel Committee was established, he was the first to respond to the call of the Steel Committee and join it.

When the Navy was short of steel, it was Francois Wendel who delivered qualified steel to the Navy at extremely low prices.

It was precisely because of Francois Wendel's unremitting efforts that he became a member of the navy's supplier system and was able to be invited to participate in such exchange meetings.

When François Wendel arrived, he began to fear that his orthodox brand would be affected by the emperor, and he fell into the clouds again.

Francois Wendel, who had this ambivalent attitude, subconsciously took a step back under the sharp gaze of Jérôme Bonaparte.

It was precisely because of his retreat that Jerome Bonaparte noticed him.

Jérôme Bonaparte pointed his index finger at Francois Wendell, "Sir, come here!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Francois Wendel.

When Jérôme Bonaparte accused Francois Wendel of being moral, he was startled for a moment, and then asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Majesty...are you talking about me?"

"That's right, it's you!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and signaled to Francois Wendel: "Come here!"

"Yes!" Francois Wendell pushed through the crowd and came to Jerome Bonaparte with a staggering step.

Looking at the anxious eyes of the industrial capitalist in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte asked in a gentle tone: "What is your name? What do you do?"

"Francois Wendel, now... runs a... steel company, and is currently engaged in... supplying steel plates to the navy...!" Francois Wendel stammered to Jérôme Bo. Nabal responded, the sweat on his forehead flowing down involuntarily.

"Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!" Jérôme Bonaparte gently patted Francois Wendel on the shoulder. When his hand touched the steel giant's shoulder, he clearly felt this The steel giant trembled violently, "I'm not a man-eating monster! Francois Wendell, right? I remember that your company is the top company among the entire French steel companies!"

"Yes!" Francois Wendel nodded in response.

"It must be difficult to run such a company!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Francois Wendel with a kind smile still on his face.

"It's not difficult! It's not difficult!" Francois Wendel shook his head and flattered: "Without you working hard for France every day, we would not have the prosperity we have now! You work harder than us!"

Gu Xun/span "Yes! Without your majesty's daily work, there would be no prosperity for us people!"

"That's right! Your Majesty, you are the one who works the most!"

The industrial capitalists who exploited every opportunity did their best to show their loyalty to the empire to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Of course, what they said was true. If Jérôme Bonaparte hadn't expanded infrastructure in France, their prosperity would not have been possible.

Especially now, the war between France and Russia has driven up and down the French industrial chain, allowing industrial capitalists like them to reap the dividends brought by the war.

To say that they are not grateful to Jérôme Bonaparte is pure nonsense.

"Let me take these as your sincere words!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded at this group of industrial capitalists, and then went straight to the point: "I guess you and they have visited this factory, what do you think? Want to say something?”

"Every step and process in the factory is so standardized, and the movements are so coordinated..." François Wendell praised Paris Nord Industrial.

"To tell you the truth, the company adopts strict military management and a semi-assembly line system, which has greatly improved the company's efficiency..." Jérôme Bonaparte also expressed his admiration for the giant building he built with his own hands. Wu Ba was satisfied, and then said to Francois Wendel and others: "Since you think it is very good, then I hope that each of your companies can carry out more coordinated work according to its template!"

As soon as these words came out, panic appeared on the faces of the physical merchants present.

There was no physical businessman present who was not afraid of Jérôme Bonaparte's barbaric merger with their company.

Such annexations occurred frequently during the Restoration of Bourbon and Orleans.

Of course, they also know that their will alone cannot defeat the powerful branches of government.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean! We have already cooperated according to your wishes!" Francois Wendell gritted his teeth and asked. Now he felt that he was on the edge of death.

Jérôme Bonaparte had already anticipated Francois Wendel's resistance.

After all, no one likes others to dictate their own territory, let alone a Leviathan like a government department, which will be completely annexed by the bureaucrats if they are not careful.

Although Jerome Bonaparte had repeatedly called for industrial mobilization before the war officially started, judging from the current situation, the existing mobilization intensity is not as large as Jerome Bonaparte expected. Large-scale industrial mobilization is still far away.

That's why Jerome Bonaparte chose to go further.

"Don't worry! The government doesn't want to annex you, nor does it want to dictate too much to you!" Jerome Bonaparte first expressed his attitude.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at first. It was excellent news for them that the government would not merge their companies.

"However, I am very dissatisfied with your current efficiency!" Jerome Bonaparte said angrily to everyone present: "Now you are just like small independent kingdoms. I have not seen you there. There is no sense of overall coordination! Are you dissatisfied with the government’s work?”

Except for Eugène Schneider, all the entity merchants once again showed panic expressions. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com

"No! No!" Francois Wendel trembled again.

"People say that running a country is like running a family. A country should perform its duties like a family. Only in this way can a country be more efficient! Lazy working methods are the source of evil. Our military is already in a state of chaos. They are fighting in the wasteland, and there are no supplies to support their fight. Everything depends on France behind them! We must come up with more standardized and professional means to support their fight!" Jérôme Bonaparte's tone Said loudly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Francois Wendel asked on behalf of all the businessmen present in the real industry.

"In order to accomplish this goal, I will redesign an overall control committee on top of all committees, and I will name it the Planning Committee!" Jerome Bonaparte decided to move the "Planning Committee" out again.
