Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 21 Early Release
CNC machine tools, precision instruments, energy mining equipment... Looking at the items on the list that are restricted by the West, Joseph hesitated and nodded and handed them to James.

"Let's hand it over to the United States according to the above! Is there any movement from Huaxia, such as the matter I proposed to fill the gap with shares."

"Ambassador Zhang Jianjun said that they agreed to our request in principle, but we still have to wait for the person who can decide how to do it. Calculating the time, it should be these two days."

Someone who can call the shots?Joseph was refreshed, at least one member or even a member of the Standing Committee could be the one who can make decisions on such matters, but isn't it a bit high-profile for a person with such an identity to come to the West to meet him?

High-profile is a trivial matter. What Joseph is worried about is that this matter will bring him trouble. After all, he is now the fang of the United States, at least in the eyes of the US government.

"Does Huaxia have any plans? It's impossible to come directly to Nord to meet me!"

Regarding Joseph's doubts, James shook his head and said that he didn't know. In fact, Joseph just asked him casually. Naturally, he knew that James didn't know. Otherwise, he would have told himself already, and still need to wait for him to ask?
Waved James to leave, Joseph temporarily put this matter aside, although this is related to the future development of the Duchy of Nord and involves a large amount of money, but compared to the large number of builders in Nord now, those can be Ignore it for now.

"How's the casino's turnover?"

What Joseph asked was the steward Abner. Although the Nord Royal Group is owned by the Nord Principality, Nord is a country with a dual monarchy system. The treasury is not much different from Joseph's private treasury. There's no reason not to pay attention now and then.

"About 40 US dollars was earned yesterday. In addition, the hotel's drinks also have a large profit, not even less than the profit brought by the casino. The shipping company has just received an order for two luxury yachts, and the estimated profit is 15. Around the dollar."

Compared with the arrival of the media at the beginning, this group of builders are the real big spenders. In just a few days, they have brought millions of dollars in net income to the Principality of Nord. This is only under the Royal Nord Group. Although the income of the shops in Beicheng District is far less than that of the Royal Group, their income is about three to five times higher than usual.

The Wall Street Journal even appeared on Joseph's figure. Some people said that Joseph would land on this year's Forbes European Rich List, and his position is still relatively high.Some people also say that each industry under Nord Royal Group has two. If it is listed in New York, it is believed that Joseph's net worth will increase by at least four or five times.

Joseph is naturally not a person without vision. If the Nord Royal Group is listed at this time, it will naturally be exchanged for a lot of cash, but compared with his real value, these are just a drop in the bucket.

On the second day after learning of the rumor, Joseph asked Abner to count his assets and the current output value of Nord Royal Group with a playful attitude, and the final result shocked Joseph.

Nord Royal Group now owns the Royal Shipyard, five-star hotels, casinos, Nord Royal Bank, Nord Royal Daily, Auto Union, Audi, Pharmaceutical Group...

Although the current capital flow of various companies is not very abundant, and the scale is not very large, but those who observe carefully will find that these have amazing potential.Apart from other things, anyone who sees Audi's new vehicles can't help being amazed, thinking that this is the most perfect means of transportation.

Music, safety, and beauty are simply perfect endorsements.This is what James said when he saw the new Audi. Not only him, but other cabinet members also praised it similarly.Air cushions, music players, and slight adjustments to seats are the most humanized changes. I believe that every customer will enjoy the warmth of home when driving such a vehicle.

All in all, Audi is currently the most valuable company under the Nord Royal Group, with total assets of 3000 million US dollars. However, due to the war and operational strategy mistakes, it still has foreign debts of about 6000 million US dollars at this time.Of course, the foreign debt is mainly concentrated in the Auto Union rather than the newly formed Audi company. If this were not the case, France would not have facilitated this transaction so happily.

Excluding foreign debts, the total assets of the Nord Royal Group are now about 3000 million U.S. dollars. As the ruler of the Principality of Nord, others naturally attribute the Nord Royal Group to Joseph. Some people say that Joseph will Reasons to be on the Forbes Europe Rich List.

The time is approaching December without knowing it, and Christmas is coming. Audi is going to give a big surprise to European and American car lovers on Christmas Day. 20 new Audis have been transported to European and American countries, just waiting The day of the real sale is coming.

The new Audi model is A1, the price is $100.000, the price may be a bit high, but with its comprehensive score, the price is not very exaggerated, especially since Audi is not a new brand, it does not need to start at a low price with decades of reputation market.

Bourne, the current president of Audi, held a press conference three days ago. At the meeting, he focused on introducing the data of the Audi A1, but did not introduce the specific appearance. He mainly wanted to give surprises to customers who intend to buy.

Although the appearance was not disclosed, the various humanized designs have already attracted the hearts of many car lovers. Joseph also attended the meeting that day, but he only participated as a VIP at that time.

Audi's business is very important, but Joseph's busy business is equally important. Huaxia's contact person has arrived, and Joseph couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

The person here is not a current member or a member of the Standing Committee, but his identity cannot be ignored either. The former Vice Premier of Huaxia is a leader who is quite well-received, especially in the industry, and has the qualifications to speak authoritatively.

However, Joseph was only a little surprised. Now his status and influence did not allow him to perform too much. From a certain point of view, they were equal in status.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li."

Joseph didn't know how to address the other party, so in the end he was more casual and called the old man, so that the title of panacea would not be annoying.

"Nice to meet you too, Your Highness Joseph."

Mr. Li was very happy, because Joseph greeted him in Chinese, what does that mean?This in itself is an expression of sincerity, Mr. Li is very confident about the next thing.

In the banquet hall of the palace, the two sat down face to face after greeting each other warmly. It was a little strange that there were only the two of them in the entire banquet hall, and the rest of them, including the guards, had already left.

This time, Huaxia came under the pretext of a labor contract. Although Mr. Li had a senior voice in Huaxia politics, in fact, he was just a flash in the pan back then, so coming to Nord did not attract too many people's attention.

"There is one thing that surprises me. His Royal Highness Joseph is so optimistic about China's business structure at this time?"

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic, but I believe that in ten years' time the Chinese market, although I am the Grand Duke of Nord, I am also a businessman at the same time, this can be regarded as an investment!"

Joseph would not give the other party the impression that he is optimistic about the Huaxia market, otherwise he will inevitably be reduced to the passive side in the next negotiation, but it is not appropriate to lie, so he deliberately said that he is optimistic about the future Huaxia market.

This sentence made Mr. Li pause when he wanted to continue, and then he smiled wryly and said: "We both have a better time, we are getting older, and we can't compare to you young people in terms of calculations... Ugh!"

At this time, Elder Li suddenly realized that the person negotiating with him was not a young man but a little baby. Joseph's aura was undoubtedly successful, otherwise it would not be until now that Elder Li came to this realization.

Shaking his head, he handed over a list, all of which were existing groups in Huaxia. The meaning was obvious, and he asked Joseph to choose a company he was satisfied with to hold shares in.

Browsing through the various companies on the list, Joseph couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. These state-owned enterprises that seemed to be very profitable at this time will disappear into history one after another in 20 years, and Joseph will naturally not be satisfied.

After closing the company list, Joseph glanced at Mr. Li who was full of expectation and said, "There is no company I am satisfied with here. Let me tell you another way, Mr. Li, to see if you are satisfied."

"His Royal Highness Joseph said yes, as long as it is not too much, we have no reason to refuse. After all, His Royal Highness Joseph is considered half of our country!"
