Chapter 1220: Railroad Tycoon II

After seeing the grand blueprint revealed by Leo Zhan, Princess Lulu seemed a little worried for a while. M
This little white and fat little fat guy~!
Although he is not very old, the ambition shown in his words and behavior has made almost all the heroes on the earth ashamed.
As the princess of the Elf Kingdom, she has also been educated by the elite of the royal system. She clearly knows that the importance of transportation—the reason why the Elf Kingdom can accumulate wealth, and its prosperity and development today, is inseparable from their advanced maritime shipping. .
Moreover, she is also sensitive to the huge wealth and business opportunities contained in this railway.
Once the railway is completed, the links between countries will be strengthened, and the circulation of commodity trade will be greatly enhanced, so the strength of each country will inevitably increase.
Under the condition of one declining and the other rising, the remote elven kingdoms will gradually fall behind, and even become second-rate and third-rate countries.
If Leo’s earth-shattering plan is just an illusory, unrealizable dream constructed on paper, then forget it.
But unfortunately, although his plan seemed crazy, Princess Lulu realized that this plan was quite feasible based on the intuition cultivated by years of knowledge~!
How old is this little fat man?
He has already begun to implement his imperial dominance and conquer the world step by step~!
In contrast, those royal children of the Elf King who only knew about drinking, singing and making chicks were all pure rice buckets.
Although there are two or three of them outstanding, but they are just a bunch of slightly better rice buckets. All day long, they only know how to intrigue, follow the corners of women's skirts, and play elegant court politics.
Their vision and insights are just staring at the Elf Kingdom, and they are only in the a bit bigger place of the Palace of Asilas.
It was like a group of toads fighting in a stinking ditch. They didn't even climb ashore and opened their eyes. Take a good look at how big the world is.
Although Princess Lulu came out on this trip, she broadened her horizons and clearly knew how prosperous the human world is.
But... the more she thought about it, the more she felt lost, and almost turned around and left.
But at this time Leo's conversation was strong.
It is rare for him to tell people about his great plan. It was so easy to draw a listener, and naturally I couldn't let it go. Immediately standing in front of the map, he picked up a slender baton, pointed at the map, and talked endlessly about his future railway empire.
"To say this train railway is definitely a good thing.
As long as there are enough locomotives, a railway can theoretically run dozens of trains at the same time. Leo pointed his finger at the map and said: "As railway infrastructure equipment, sleepers and railroad tracks are an investment and benefit for life.
Only a small maintenance fee is required each year. It is even lower than the maintenance fee of the national highway. In the future, as long as the train passes through, it will be the world of our Flying Eagle Group.
And in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes...Bah, baah, according to international practice, all mineral resources are available within 50 kilometers on both sides of the railway. We all have priority mining rights.
At that time, the mine was opened with one hand and the train with the other. The gold coins are still rolling in?
Therefore, once the train rang, gold was ten thousand taels. This sentence is not for nothing. "
Princess Lulu snorted coldly, just about to say something sarcastically, but she couldn't help feeling a move when she looked at Leo's eyebrows dancing.
Her bright starry eyes turned, revealing a cunning look like a vixen.
Princess Lulu blinked her eyes, with a smile on her pretty face, and asked Leo softly: "Lei Da is not chairman..."
Leo froze for a moment, then straightened his chest. The angry voice corrected: "It is the chairman, the chairman, not the chairman. There is no ‘no’ in front of it, do you understand?
You uneducated country girl~! "
Listening to Leo's last thought, Princess Lulu suddenly hated it, and she wanted to stretch her fingers. He twisted Leo's white and tender face a few times, and then took his ears, listening to him scream like a pig, but...
But at this time, she was calm on the surface, suppressed her anger, and then said in a deep voice: "Well, Chairman Lei, I don't know how many days will your railway be built?"
The voice came from between the teeth. If it were normal, Erye Lei, who was full of female abuse, would never ignore it, but today, he showed others his grand blueprint, and he was happy. In addition, let Princess Lulu's domineering chick call Chairman Lei personally, and he almost wags his tail with pride.
Therefore, I did not care.
In joy, Leo waved his hand carelessly, and said, "You said it's done? So early then~!
The plan is done, and the funds are still in place. "
"Is it expensive to build this railway?" Princess Lulu looked back at the rails next to each other in the station, muttering to herself or asking, and whispered, "The cost must not be low."
"Almost," Leo nodded honestly and admitted, "The main reason is that this iron track is difficult to handle, and the annual output of steel is really limited.
To this end, we purchase qualified steel raw materials in mainland China. Then it has to be processed back to the furnace to make qualified products.
In addition, there are a series of complicated processes such as prospecting, land acquisition, laying foundations, sprinkling gravel, laying tracks, etc. "
"Cut~!" Princess Lulu pouted Leo and said disapprovingly: "No matter how well you plan, it won't be useless if you can't build it."
Leo suddenly jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, waving his hands, and yelling: "Who said it couldn't be built?
Who said it couldn't be built?
The railway outside Nian’an city is fake?
Less look down on people.
To tell you plainly, the railroad from Nidel Central Station to Constantine has been laid in the morning.
We still adopt the construction method of segmented construction and multi-headed construction. It won't take long to open to traffic.
The railway to Vaticano has also begun. "
"The work has started?" Princess Lulu exclaimed inwardly, "They are doing so fast~!
Why there is no news before. Ordinarily, such important things will not be paid attention to..."
Princess Lulu's heart turned, and then she thought of the mysterious Flying Eagle Group under Lorraine.
Before leaving the fairy kingdom, Princess Lulu hadn't even heard the name of the Flying Eagle Group.
But one night later, I suddenly discovered that it seems that all important things are related to it.
For example, salt, iron, carriage, bearings. Artillery, battleships, war fortresses... It seems that no matter what you are around you, the Flying Eagle Group is ultimately involved.
This rapidly emerging consortium. No matter what you do, it seems to be secret, for fear that others will know it, but... but once something is revealed, it is always earth-shattering.
What she saw with her own eyes in Nyan proved one point.
Smoked chimneys, rumbling steam engines, ships without sails, and this ugly train in front of me.
If someone told her before. As long as something burns coal, it can pull a car weighing dozens of tons and run fast. She would only treat this person as a ran out of a mental hospital.
And now, even if another talking and dancing machine popped out in front of her, she wouldn't be surprised.
"How many good things Lorraine hid in Nian'an, if necessary, take out for him." Princess Lulu secretly said.
Then she blinked, looked at Leo narrowly, and said, "That's thousands of miles. I think it should cost a lot of money?
Then... do you have that much money? "
Seeing the light flashing in her bright star-like eyes, like a curious cat, Leo suddenly became alert. He clutched his wallet tightly, took two steps back, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing Leo's movements, Princess Lulu gritted her silver teeth with anger, and could not wait to rush up to beat him, and said in her heart: As for the princess who missed your wallet, they are all copper coins.
But not wanting to realize her own purpose, Princess Lulu swallowed this breath, smiled slightly, and said: "Nothing. Just ask, do you have the money to build your railway to dominate the world?"
Leo chuckled and said, "You worry about this. We have signed an agreement with the Holy See to jointly fund a pan-continental railway company.
Besides, even if it is not enough. We can issue railway bonds, or let railway companies go public to collect money. "
"Public debt? Listing?" Princess Lulu murmured in confusion. She still understands public debt, but what does it mean to be listed?
"As long as they have seen the power of the railway," Leo clenched his fist and vowed: "They will cry and cry and beg us to borrow their money."
"Nonsense," Princess Lulu rolled Leo's eyes and said, "There is such a fool."
Then he stood up and walked out.
Going on, maybe the dignified Princess Lulu will be stunned by this full-mouthed Princess Lulu, bragging about not making drafts, and the extremely cruel and cruel fatty little fat man will be dizzy. That is a great shame.
So she planned to talk to Lorraine after going back. Although that cousin was full of bad water, he never lied to those around him.
Coming out of the train station, Leo led Princess Lulu to visit the shipyard outside the city. There was a small railway that transported timber from the port. A smoky locomotive dragged the timber and screamed into the shipyard.
It's already mid-afternoon after going around a big circle around Neidel, and then returning to the Governor's Mansion.
Princess Lulu walked into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion and found it was quiet. She went up and down and found that there was no one. She was surprised and said, "Who is it?"
"Who are you looking for?"
A voice suddenly came from behind Princess Lulu, which made Princess Lulu jump up like a rabbit.
Suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, she saw a familiar figure from Lorraine. Princess Lulu took a breath and patted her chest, and said, "You scared me to death. Cousin, why are you so fascinated?"
"I..." Lorraine pointed to the door.
"Don't tell me, I understand." Princess Lulu showed a clear expression on her face, squeezed her eyes at Lorraine, with an ambiguous expression, and said: "I can't think of the cousin hiding outside."
She kept looking at the door, Lorraine obviously did not come back from the door, which meant that there was a secret passage in the house.
She sees many things like this. For example, her father, the prince of the Elven Kingdom, often walks away from the palace to see his mistress.
"What's hidden?" Lorraine asked in a puzzled way. He had just visited the venture capital firm next door and had just returned.
"Don't admit it yet," Princess Lulu wrinkled her nose, then pulled up Lorraine and walked away, "Forget it."
Lorraine was led upstairs by Princess Lulu. Suspiciously said: "What's wrong, is something wrong?"
Princess Lulu dragged Lorraine to her room, pushed Lorraine into the room, and then looked around. The door closed with a bang, and then the lock was clicked.
Princess Lulu turned around, with her small hands behind her, tilted her head to look at Lorraine, licked her rosy lips, and murmured: "Now there are two of us."
Lorraine was a little confused, only that the air seemed to be a little ambiguous.
Princess Lulu danced gracefully. As agile as a cat, he jumped to Lorraine's side, pointed his fingers on Lorraine's chest, and drew circles on Lorraine's clothes with his fingertips, and his pretty face gradually became ruddy.
Lorraine couldn't help but sniffed and took a breath.
Princess Lulu showed a triumphant smile on her face, tiptoes to Lorraine's ear, exhaling blue. Slowly said: "I...I want..."
Lorraine could feel the puffed chest of Princess Lulu against his chest, and there was a soft feeling, and his mind couldn't move for a moment. Tao followed: "What do you want to do?"
Princess Lulu smiled slyly and said, "I miss my cousin..."
Lorraine took a sharp breath and said inwardly: "It's too fast, I'm not mentally prepared yet."
Princess Lulu suddenly said: "The railway company takes a stock, do you think it is okay?"
Lorraine spit out in one breath, and said in surprise: "That's it for this?"
Princess Lulu shook Lorraine's arms, shook her body, and said coquettishly: "Okay, okay, okay, cousin..."
The bones of Lorraine that his cousin called at the last time were crisp.
"I knew that Xiao Ni must not be at ease." Lorraine said inwardly. Said: "It's good, but cousin, how much do you cost."
"Three-five...seven-eight," Princess Lulu said while observing Lorraine's eyes. Seeing Lorraine seemed disapproving, she finally said: "Ten. Two hundred thousand is still there."
"The Elf Kingdom really has money~!" Lorraine secretly said to herself, the same princess. At first, Catherine said that she gave herself 200,000 yuan, but she didn't even pay the last cent. You usually have to think about buying cosmetics. Princess Lulu opened her mouth for two hundred thousand.
However, the money is still not enough. For the capital-intensive industry of railway, it is only a little bit.
"Every one percent of the railway group's shares is one million." Lorraine stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Princess Lulu, and said leisurely: "No retail."
Princess Lulu closed her mouth in surprise, and said to herself: Doesn't that mean that the entire train group is worth 100 million gold coins? My God~!
But this opportunity can't be let go. After a day of understanding, Princess Lulu has understood the benefits of the train.
Their elven kingdom is a maritime country, and it is not conducive to long-term development that only puts all its worth on ocean trade.
But their hands could not reach into the mainland.
The Pan-Continent Railway Company in Leo’s mouth gave Princess Lulu an opportunity to expand the power of the manager’s kingdom in the continent.
This opportunity is a rare opportunity in a lifetime. If you miss this time, you will never have it again. That's why Princess Lulu decided to sacrifice herself a little to tempt her cousin to get in.
Princess Lulu's eyes rolled, and she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can let my father come, he can afford the money."
Lorraine spread his hands and said, "But I can only sell you 10% of the shares at most."
"That's ten million, and my father should be able to afford it." Princess Lulu secretly said, but she still asked inexplicably, "Why is that? Ten percent is too little, cousin..."
Princess Lulu made a long tail sound from her cousin, and her voice was soft and soft, which was extremely helpful to Lorraine's ears.
Lorraine patted Princess Lulu's small smooth and fair hands, and explained with a smile: "According to the regulations, the Flying Eagle Group must occupy a majority of 51% of the shares in the railway company in order to fully control the Pan-Continent Railway Group.
Since the Holy See has to contribute capital and is responsible for easing relations, it has to hold at least 30% of the shares.
The remaining 19% are floating shares. Among them, 9% is the share of the country where the railway is located. In the end, only 10% is left. We originally planned to issue this part as a creditor’s right at 6%. The annual interest is publicly raised.
But since your cousin has spoken, the public debt will not be issued and transferred to the cousin. "
Princess Lulu was stunned. She had never heard of such a strange joint venture company, but Lorraine had the confidence to collect the money, and she heard it.
The open mouth of the Flying Eagle Group is 51% of the shares, which is a real 50 million gold coins.
Princess Lulu picked up the corner of her mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you cousin."
"Besides, if you want to buy shares quickly, the Pan-Continent Railway Company will soon be established. To be precise, after the first railway to Constantine is completed." Lorraine didn't need to appreciate my expression. Said: "Fortunately, it is the Elf Kingdom.
If it is Parthia or other mainland countries, we will not give it if we want to participate in equity. "
The elven kingdom is lonely overseas, whether it is for the Ruman Empire or the Flying Eagle Group, it is a suitable partner for cooperation, and it is not afraid that it will rebel.
Princess Lulu frowned her beautiful brows, her face was bitter, her voice greasy, and she whispered: "Cousin, this time is too tight. Even if we have money, we won't be able to spend 10 million at a time."
Lorraine spread his hands helplessly and explained patiently: "Piling up gold in the warehouse is moldy. It is no different from iron. Only gold that circulates is called wealth.
Ten million looks like a lot, but it's actually nothing. Soon we will list the railway company on the stock exchange. This 10% of the original price of 10 million shares may double in a few nights.
At that time, if the cousin chose to sell the shares, she could make a net profit of 10 million. "
Princess Lulu showed a puzzled expression and said, "This is the second time I heard about the stock exchange today. What kind of exchange is this? What is it?"
"Simply put, I split one percent of the shares into one million shares, each with a gold coin, and sell them on the stock exchange market, so that ordinary people can afford it~EbookFREE.me~ They are also shareholders of our company, and if they make a profit, they will pay dividends proportionally. If they think that the stock has a good prospect and the dividend is high, someone will be willing to pay two gold coins to buy this stock."
Lorraine explained the truth of the story as clearly as possible, saying: "If one day you are unwilling to continue to hold the shares of the railway company, you can also sell your shares in the trading market and exchange them for cash."
Princess Lulu tilted her head and thought for a long time. She felt a little doorway in her heart, but she shook her head and said, "No, ten million is still too much. Cousin gives me a discount."
Lorraine puffed out a laugh, raised her hand and rubbed Princess Lulu's forehead, twitching her smooth long hair, and said: "If this can also be discounted, the Holy See will go crazy if it knows."
Princess Lulu stomped her feet in anxious state, took Lorraine's hand, and said, "What should I do? Cousin, just think of a solution."
"It's not impossible," Lorraine rubbed his chin and said with a faint smile: "You can pay in installments."
"Pay in installments?" (To be continued) RQ
