Struggle in Russia

"Didn't catch up?"

Li Xiao was lying when he said he had no regrets. At this time in Bucharest, every additional friend, especially every additional trusted friend, felt different. It's a pity that meeting and not knowing each other is sometimes such a trick.

Li Xiao could only sigh secretly in his heart, and told Anton to go back to his apartment. Bucharest is so big, where can we find such a huge crowd? What's more, they haven't been able to find it openly and openly, which almost cuts off all hope.

However, he was still comforting Vishniak, who was somewhat self-blaming: "We can meet each other among millions of people. If there is a first time, there must be a second time. I believe we will see each other again soon." Lexy's!"

But even though he didn't see Alexei, when Li Xiao returned to the apartment, he ran into another unexpected friend!

"Uncle David, why are you here?"

David Lebouf was no less surprised than Li Xiao. He first cheered and hugged Li Xiao enthusiastically, and then replied with a smile: "I just arrived today too, so the old thing Pellani will give me It's arranged here, and I thought about going to Ploiesti to see you in two days' free time. My little Andreka, you really surprised me!"

Yes, David Lebouf was very surprised. Originally, he thought that the old master's son, a son who had become a monk halfway through, knew nothing about intelligence work.

When I was in Istanbul, I was always worried about someone, for fear that someone would give away his identity and reveal his identity. Is Lebouf afraid that Li Xiao will implicate him? Even if Li Xiao's certificates and relationships are all set up by him, to Lebouf, these are trivial matters. chant.

Back then when he offended Napoleon and Nicholas I, it was not that he never ran past. He has rich experience in this area, so he was not at all afraid.

What Lebouf was more worried about was Li Xiao's safety. His old master was just such a son. safety. He really cares about this, and he is actively paying attention to every move in Wallachia every day despite his laziness and procrastination at work in the past.

However, Lebouf was quickly taken aback, because from the information he received, not only was Li Xiao not in any danger at all, but he lived like a fish in water very much at ease. What's even more frightening is that his every move indirectly promoted the presence of France in Wallachia, making France's influence on Wallachia unprecedentedly large. This made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs very satisfied with the Consulate General of Wallachia and the Embassy in Turkey, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts to achieve greater success.

Well, Lebouf's glasses were all shattered all over the place, and he was more surprised than relieved. He felt that his old master had successors, and that his old brother Igor was really a master in cultivating the next generation. No wonder the old master chose Igor Alto alone and not him.

"Andreka, you did a great job. Even the old man De Pelleni is full of praise and praises you. Let me come and tell you to keep working hard and achieve better results!"

Li Xiao also laughed, and jokingly said, "Did that old guy just ask you to come all the way with empty words? He is still as stingy and loves money as before!"

Lebouf also laughed loudly, put his arms around Li Xiao's shoulders and said, "That's not just a sentence of empty words, but three sentences of empty words, and I guess you don't need to tell his secretary if you go to see him later. Buy the road money, haha!"

[Three empty words. 】

This immediately attracted Li Xiao's attention. As the Minister Counselor of the French Embassy in Turkey, under the current situation that the post of French Minister to Turkey is vacant,

Pelleni is the boss. The empty words he asked Lebouf to bring over were not just empty words.

"You're right." Lebouf put away his smile, nodded and said, "That old thing has always been a thief who doesn't want to be empty and takes advantage of it... His meaning is very simple, the first is to hope you Continue to help France expand its influence in Wallachia, and it is best to win over and develop a group of senior officials of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia who are pro-French."

Li Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Well, what about the second one?"

Lebouf laughed again: "The second is even simpler, he is very interested in the Wallachia Petroleum Company!"

puff……

Not only Li Xiao laughed, but even Vishniak next to him laughed. A nameless empty-shell bag company has turned into a sweet pastry, and even big figures like De Pelleni have begun to salivate. Well, it can only be said that Li Xiao's operation is too successful, and he is an empty-handed white wolf The classic!

"This old thing has a good nose!" Li Xiao sneered, and said, "You can find a way to make money from such a distance. If you are a diplomat with half the cleverness, you won't be eaten to death by the British before." dead!"

Lebouf also nodded sincerely. The reason why the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs was so passive in Wallachia was due to the fact that the February Revolution in Paris caused the collapse of the French government and left the French government in chaos. of incompetence.

As the actual person in charge, this guy is more interested in making money than doing official business. He only thinks about making money and having fun. Basically, he comes to Turkey for gold mining and vacations. Under his leadership, the French diplomatic service in Turkey almost began to let itself go its own way, and naturally it couldn't do anything practical.

But Li Xiao also thanked this guy for his stupidity, otherwise how would he sell dog meat and fish in troubled waters? Now that the old guy has reached out to ask for bribes, it is naturally better, anyway, he is also generous to the Wallachians, so why not do it!

What's more, if even this old thing is on the thief ship of the Wallachia Petroleum Company, then Li Xiao will naturally have no scruples!

Li Xiao immediately made a decision: "Give him 10% of the shares!"

Li Xiao's generosity made David Lebouf feel a little bit emotional, because although the Wallachia Petroleum Company is still a purse company, the value of this purse is extraordinary. The large fields in Prahova are not a joke. Even if none of these lands can produce oil, they can be sold for money!

David Lebouf originally thought that Li Xiao would be generous enough if he was willing to give five percent, but who would have thought that he would double it directly, which is called being open-minded and clever. If you are willing to give up, you can only get something if you give up first. Put De Pelleni on the boat, and the income will definitely be several times the expenditure!

It's just that David Lebouf hadn't finished sighing, only to hear Li Xiao say again: "Uncle David, I can't let you make this trip in vain, I'm ready for your 5%!"
