Fox of France

  After a while, in a creaking sound, the door was slowly opened, and Fouché appeared in front of Joseph.

  Fouchet has moved here since joining the Hébel faction. This is mainly to show that he is mingling with those without pants. And after joining the Eberites, Fouché has been very clean. If you don't consider his experience of reversing repeatedly, just look at this period of time, then Foucher is almost the same moral model as Robespierre.

  As for the fall of Ebel, Fouché had no time to consider moving in order to deal with Robespierre. After Robespierre's fall, Fouché lost almost all of his financial resources, so he could only continue to live here.

  At this time, some people around gradually gathered around, and someone shouted: "Joseph, has something happened?"

   "No, nothing, it is our friend." Fouché replied loudly.

  When those people listened, they all gradually dispersed. These people are trousers without trousers, Ebel’s people. In their eyes, Fouché is not a capricious viper, but a hero who avenges Ebel.

  "Mr. Bonaparte, Mr. Carnot, it is really surprising to see you here." Fouché said with a smile.

   "Ah, Mr. Fouché, we have always been friends, haven't we?" Joseph also smiled and said, "Why, don't you invite us in and sit?"

   "The house is messy, don't make a joke." Fouché made a sign to invite in.

  A few people entered the room. There was a black hole in the room. It was almost evening. After entering the room, Joseph couldn't see clearly for a long time. I only vaguely saw a few figures, and heard Fouché say: "You take the child back to play."

  It took a long time for Joseph's eyes to adjust.

  "Mr. Bonaparte, Mr. Carnot, are you looking for me, is there anything I can do for you?" Fouché said with a smile.

   "Mr. Fouché, those guys on the stage now are too ugly to eat, what do you think?" Joseph said.

  "Do you want to launch an uprising to overthrow them?" Foucher said, "If this is the case, I advise you as a friend. At least for now, this is not a good time to do so."

   "No, no, no, my friend, where did you think of it?" Joseph hurriedly said, "I just want to save a little loss for our motherland as much as possible."

  Fuchie lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Do you want me to get back something from the Army Research Institute?"

"It's not a thing, it's a person." Joseph said, "Mr. Fouché, what is the most important thing about the institute? Of course it is the researcher. I have a list here, and I hope you can help us put these people on the list. Get it back. You can tell them that if they are willing to go to Toulon with me, all their income can be increased according to the previous standard. The upper limit of the increase is also indicated on this list."

  Joseph said as he handed a list to Fouché.

  Fouchet took the list and did not look at it. In fact, his room was too dark to see.

   "So, Mr. Bonaparte, you plan to rebuild the military research institute? But have you got the government's authorization for this matter?" Fouché frowned.

"No." Joseph said, "We intend to establish a private research institute. Of course, the scope of business is the same as before. Mr. Foucher, since the current fashion has become an open means for everyone to make money. Let those people make money, Why not let us make money. How about, Mr. Fouché, are you willing to join us and make money together?"

  Fauchet stared at Joseph for a while, and then asked: “Rebuilding the research institute and establishing a military enterprise is indeed very profitable now. However, it requires a lot of start-up capital. Do you have this money?

   "This is not a problem." Joseph said.

"Ah, that's right." Foucher said, "When I was in Toulon, you and your brother had already opened a smuggling route to Spain. You must have been idle for the past few months. . Smuggling should bring you a lot of income. However, since it is a business, then please allow me to ask impolitely, what can I get in this transaction?"

"If you can find all the people on this list, I will pay you two thousand livres, in silver coins. In addition, the difference between the monthly salary you negotiated with these people and the upper limit I gave is all It is your income. In addition, there is a more important task, to persuade the government to approve the acquisition of the Naval Research Institute as a whole. For this purpose, I have prepared a cost of 200,000 livres. If you can help us go If you spend less than 200,000 yuan, the money you save is your reward. At that time, you can choose to get cash from me—well, not coupons; or convert the money into shares , Join us." Joseph said.

  "Join you, what can I do?" Foucher asked again.

"Your ability, I already know very well in Toulon. You know, the former military research institute relied on the power of the country to do a good job of secrecy and security. Now, we cannot have such a power, even if I Using the power of my brother for self-employment, it can’t be compared with before. And the company we are envisioned, if you want to make a lot of money, you must maintain confidentiality. I think you are very talented in this area."

  Fuxie listened quietly without making a sound.

"In addition, we also need to know the relevant information of other manufacturers, which is also very important for our business." Joseph continued, "Mr. Fouché, I know that you don't particularly care about wealth itself. But. My friend, with your keenness, have you not noticed that the times have changed! The era of revolution has passed, and the passion of revolution has been burned out. You can give a speech on the street or write a pamphlet. Gone are the times that set off stormy waves! Today, if you want to make a difference in politics, you must have enough wealth to support. Mr. Foucher, are you interested in joining us?"

  Fouchet raised his head, looked at Joseph, and finally said: "I can do the things you entrusted to me first. As for whether to join you, I have to think again."

  "That's good." Joseph said, "At least for now, we are working together happily. I may be leaving Paris soon. Well, for some things in Paris, you can just contact General Cano."

   "Okay." Foucher said, "So, can you advance a portion of the funds to me? You know, all these things you want me to do require money."

  Joseph looked around, and then said: "This is a very reasonable request. Well, I can pay you a thousand livres now, of course, you can also choose the same value in pounds or marks."

   "Riffel," Foucher said, "but don't refer to it."

   "Yes." Joseph took out a check from his arms, and then said to Fouché, "May I light the lamp? Also, is there a pen?"

   "Okay, yes." Fu Xie quickly agreed.

  Fuchie did it himself, lit the oil lamp, and brought pen and ink. Joseph signed the check, blotted out the ink with absorbent paper, and handed the check to Fouché.

  Fuchie took the check and looked at it, nodded, and put him away.

   "By the way, Mr. Fouché, I ask you to ask about my friend..."

   "It's Amon Lavoisier, he died on the northern battlefield." Fouché said, "but it's not bad, otherwise, he would have been on the guillotine a while ago..."

  ……

  The next day Joseph rushed to the University of Paris and found Lavoisier, who is now teaching at the University of Paris, and proposed to him that he hoped that he could go to Toulon and help him rebuild a research institute.

"Is that so?" Lavoisier replied after he understood Joseph's meaning, after thinking about it, "Joseph, you protected me last time. I am very grateful for that. Otherwise, maybe I will be Robespied. Er khacha. However, last time it was for the country and the obligation was in it. This time it is different. If..."

   Joseph heard it and understood that Lavoisier wanted to raise his own value.

"Mr. Lavoisier, what you said is reasonable, but you also know that I don't have any state funding this time." Joseph cried out first, and then he threw out a plan ~www.readwn.com~ or else, Mr. Lavoisier, you see, we are now doing business on our own account, but you know, I have a lot of ways, this business should be able to make money. Why don't you use your skills to convert into money to buy shares, and then you are also one of the bosses? "

   "Well, this is also an idea, but how many shares should I convert my knowledge into?"

The two people had a frank conversation on this issue and fully exchanged opinions. Until Joseph intended to say that the discussion enhanced mutual understanding and that the meeting was beneficial, Lavoisier finally made a decision. concession.

   "Okay, okay, just do what you said just now. After all, you helped me. If you hadn't had you, I would have been on the guillotine. I am the person who knows the best..."

  Joseph was satisfied and reached an agreement with Lavoisier, and then left politely. In Joseph's view, it is really good to be able to use such conditions to bring Lavoisier in. (After all, Joseph came from later generations, and influenced by later generations, his estimate of the value of knowledge is higher than that of many people in this era.)

As soon as Joseph went out, Lavoisier immediately shouted to his wife who had been eavesdropping behind the door: "Mary, get ready for me. We are ready to leave for Toulon! Ah, it's great! It can be unfettered. Experimenting, and with such a high salary, and dividends...Hahaha...Joseph is such a generous and good man! We can live the lives of rich people again!
