PS: Thanks to Sons of Disaster and Hope, haidihaojao, and Sikong Dufeng for their rewards, there is still one short to be on the homepage, please gentlemen!

"The communication industry is the mainstream in the future. I wonder if Mr. Li agrees with this?"

"His Royal Highness Joseph means to adopt a joint venture?"

While speaking, Elder Li couldn't help frowning. Joseph understood the reason for his frowning. The importance of the communication industry is self-evident. Joseph is an outsider anyway. How can such an important industry allow outsiders to hold shares?

"Perhaps Mr. Li misunderstood me. The joint venture is correct, but I am not prepared to participate in the operation. For China, I only reserve the right to dividends and supervision."

"Just the right to dividends and supervision?"

"Yes, as long as the right to dividends and supervision."

"If this is the case, then there is still talk." Li Laoru thought, but he didn't show it on the surface, but he was still frowning and thinking, but at this time he was pretending, and the purpose was to occupy the position in the next negotiation. initiative.

"A complete set of communication equipment, 60.00% dividend shares."

"No, absolutely not."

As soon as Joseph finished speaking, Elder Li's face changed drastically. If his body didn't allow it, Joseph even suspected that he would jump up.Of course, only Mr. Li knows whether these are pretentious. After all, the purpose of both parties is to improve their own interests.

Elder Li knows how to act, and Joseph also knows how to act. He frowned: "Huaxia only provides the land and workers, and the technology and equipment are all borne by Nord. 60.00% is not a lot..."

Joseph's words made Mr. Li helplessly smile, but he forgot Joseph's age, he can act and play tricks!If it goes on like this, it is estimated that we will not be able to talk for a month. It would be better to have a good time than to procrastinate like that.

"His Royal Highness Joseph, I believe you are clear about China's national conditions. There is nothing to discuss about our government's holding. I would like to say a sincere opinion. You retain 30.00% of the shares, including the next industry. We will follow this distribution plan. How about going?"

"no problem!"

Mr. Li is ready for Joseph to continue pestering him, but who knows that Joseph agrees without hesitation, probably even Mr. Li himself does not know that after 20 years, the telecommunications industry alone will bring Joseph hundreds of times of income .

With Mr. Li's words, the next step is much simpler, Novartis Joint Venture Automobile Co., Ltd., Novartis Joint Venture Steel Co., Ltd., and Huaxia Petrochemical Co., Ltd.Due to special reasons in the petrochemical industry, Joseph only holds [-]% of the shares, and it is a shareholding rather than a joint venture. After all, it is an industry related to resources, and Joseph does not dare to go too far.

In addition to the stakes in these companies, Nord will also receive $3000 million in cash and a [-] percent stake in China Construction Bank.

In terms of money alone, Joseph would not be able to buy these shares even if he had twice as much cash. However, in terms of value, Huaxia did not suffer a loss. After all, they got the precision machinery that they urgently needed now, which no amount of money could buy.

Without the prospects of these companies, Nord would even be at a disadvantage. After all, he has taken considerable risks in these matters. If he is not careful...Touch!Everything was reduced to ashes.

Under the propaganda of the United States, Huaxia is already very scary, which makes no one dare to set foot in the East easily. Although everything cannot be announced now, Joseph's behavior is obviously a manifestation of his recognition of the Huaxia market, and he will reveal it a little later. The potential value brought by the transaction will be beyond imagination.

Taking all aspects into consideration, this is the result of Mr. Li's willingness to agree. After drinking tea, having a meal, and things settled down, Mr. Li quietly left the Principality of Nord and prepared to go to France to take a plane back to China.

The cooperation with Huaxia has come to an end for the time being. Now Joseph is mainly concerned about the global sales of Audi and the reshuffle of the cabinet. In addition, the first batch of Huaxia workers is coming, and Joseph must be prepared.

At this time, the population of the Principality of Nord has exceeded [-], and the rapid growth of the population has caused the security of Nord to drop by at least ten percentage points. For this reason, Joseph severely reprimanded the chief of the Nord Police Headquarters, and passed the request for additional police officers in the police station. .

Nord Palace Meeting Room:
"After the reorganization, the cabinet of the Principality of Nord will have eight ministerial units, the Ministry of Health responsible for medical care, epidemic prevention, and environment; the Ministry of Education for schools and culture; the Ministry of Finance for customs and statistics; the Ministry of Commerce for construction and investment; the Ministry of People's Livelihood, Agriculture, The Ministry of Civil Affairs for manpower placement; the Ministry of Justice for public security, firefighting, and riots; the Propaganda Department for communication and media;

"Cabinet members are appointed by ministers of various ministries, and ministers at the ministerial level are appointed by the prime minister, but the personnel must be determined from the list submitted by the House of Commons, and the House of Lords has the right to supervise and veto appointments."

"Officials below the ministerial level are approved by the House of Commons, and the House of Lords has the power to veto appointments."

"The term of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is five years, and he cannot be re-elected unless he is authorized by the Grand Duke. In addition, the Grand Duke has the right to remove the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and dissolve the Cabinet and the House of Commons at will."

"The members of the Nord Royal House of Commons are elected by the citizens, with a number of 108; the members of the Upper House are appointed by the Grand Duke, and the number is 36; the Lower House has the power of freedom of public opinion, personnel, and supervision of administrative officials; the Upper House has legislative power and has the right to veto All bills passed by the House of Commons."

When James read out one by one, the current cabinet members all looked at Joseph involuntarily. They all understood that the era that truly belonged to Joseph was coming.

"The cleanliness of a country represents its future direction. I propose to increase the salaries of current public servants, especially the police, and at least triple the salaries."

At this time, the annual salary of Nord citizens is about $700, which is more than double that of China, but far inferior to that of the United States. Fortunately, Nord has a small population and it is easier to increase per capita income.

The salary of civil servants is about $100 higher than that of ordinary Nord citizens. Now Joseph wants to increase their salaries, especially the three times the salary of the police. It can be said that the salary of the Nord police under the high salary policy must be close to the per capita income of the United States. In Europe, it is Can be ranked in the top three.

The meeting room is full of officials, and they will naturally not refuse such a good thing, especially the chief of the Police Headquarters, who is about to serve as the Minister of Justice, and he is naturally overjoyed to bring such good news to his subordinates before taking office.

"I wonder if you have heard of Qin State?"

"The Western Roman Empire?"

"No, it's Qin in the east."

"The Warring States Period of China?"

It was the minister of the Ministry of Education who spoke. As expected, he was an educator. While the other ministers were confused, he had already given the answer, and Joseph nodded to him to indicate that he was right.

"Qin Shihuang's strict laws make him a tyrant, and Nord is not effective just by maintaining integrity. Prime Minister James, I hope that in the next few years, the Penal Code of the Principality of Nord will be doubled, especially against officials. Incorruptible, at least five times the penalty."

After all, the West claims to be a civilized country. Joseph can't commit public outrage and murder. The only thing he can do is to increase the chance of death penalty.

One sweet date and one big stick, such a simple and effective policy made the officials of the Principality of Nord tremble inwardly, and their eyes on Joseph became complicated.

The meeting was dispersed under such circumstances. When they left, the cabinet members were no longer as relaxed as before. They could see that Joseph was not joking, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not even concealed in the slightest.

James is the one with the most complicated heart at this time. He is very happy to see Joseph grow up slowly, but he doesn't agree with Joseph's policies very much, because he knows what the end of Tyranny is, and the harsh The law itself is unpopular behavior.

However, he did not dissuade him and did not dare to dissuade him. Years of experience allowed James to see that Joseph understood the consequences of doing so, but since he knew he would still do so, it can only be said that Joseph had already prepared for the worst.
