Chapter 46: The Chief of Police and the Dean of Academic Affairs (Please Add It to the Book List)

"You did a great job!" Joseph looked at Friant approvingly, "Continue to recruit students, and select those with excellent qualifications and ambition to form an 'elite class' for key training.

"Also, the police academy is just beginning to be built, so you can make do with what you have, but it can't always be like this. Build new school buildings and purchase training equipment and equipment as soon as possible. Oh, you should follow the standards of the Paris Military Academy, which can only be better than it, not worse. I will first allocate you 250,000 livres..."

Friant's heart skipped a beat when he heard this number. Such a large sum of money is not enough to build a school for training young policemen, but almost enough to build a proper military academy!

Joseph seemed to test his heart's ability to withstand pressure, and continued: "This is the initial construction cost. I plan to invest more than 1 million in total. After all are built, the enrollment scale will exceed 3,000 people. "

Friant swallowed his saliva and responded quickly: "Yes! Yes, Your Highness! "

Joseph casually said: "By the way, everyone has worked hard during the preparation stage of the police academy. 5,000 livres will be taken from the funds to reward the management of the police academy, including you."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness! "

The speed of preparation for the police academy is much faster than expected, so it must be rewarded.

The police academy has just opened, and there are only more than 20 instructors and civilian staff, including those who manage and build the school building. This is equivalent to a reward of half a year's salary for each person.

Besancon's eyes were full of envy when he heard this. He used to think that Frient was just a supervisor of the police academy, but now it seems that this is not an ordinary police academy. Frient's future development may not be worse than his own as the chief of police.

He thought to himself that he had to work hard in the future, and he must beat Frient in the police system.

It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning when Etienne, the general manager of Laville Bank, arrived at the Palace of Versailles.

He has been dealing with the French financial system for more than ten years and is very familiar with it.

It didn't take long for him to find his own people in the financial system, find a secluded corner, and whispered: "Viscount Leon, the national debt is about to expire, why doesn't the finance department seem to be in a hurry? "

Viscount Leon looked around and whispered, "As far as I know, there is a 'French Reserve Bank' that lends money to the Crown Prince. Including the Laborde Bank, your loan is not needed for the time being."

Etienne frowned, thinking about it so much that his brain was smoking, and he didn't remember there was a French Reserve Bank. He was a little suspicious and asked, "Is your information accurate?"

"Are you questioning me?" Viscount Leon was a little unhappy and said with a gloomy face, "The loan agreement to the French Reserve Bank is ready. I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be wrong? "

Etienne was struck by lightning when he heard this.

The amount of this short-term loan is as high as 6 million livres, and Ravel Bank and Laborde Bank will each share half. It will contribute more than 300,000 in interest to Ravel Bank every year, which is an important business of the bank.

If this business is taken away by others, he will definitely be punished!

He was so anxious that he was sweating, and he couldn't help but think of the previous agreement between the bank and the Duke of Orleans - Ravel Bank will delay the loan until the deadline, and when the prince is helpless, the Duke of Orleans's people will come forward, and the bank will immediately release the loan.

Why is it different from what the Duke of Orleans said now...

Damn it, it must be that French Reserve Bank! Etienne's eyes are about to spit fire, That is definitely a small bank that has just been established and does not know the rules!

When this matter is over, he must pay the price!

But first, we must get this loan business back! Thinking of this, Etienne hurriedly thanked Viscount Lyon and promised some benefits. He hurried to the office of the Minister of Finance, planning in his heart that the loan interest rate would be reduced to 17%, which should be enough to impress the Crown Prince. If it doesn't work, just reduce it to 16%...

Besancon and Frient finished reporting the police system. Just as they stood up and prepared to say goodbye to the Crown Prince, they saw Joseph's assistant in the financial system coming and saluted, saying: "Your Highness, Etienne, the general manager of Ravel Bank, asked to see you and said he wanted to talk to you about the loan."

Joseph heard about Ravel Bank and immediately sank his face and said coldly: "There is nothing to talk about, please ask him to go back."

The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Etienne said that in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to reduce the loan interest rate to 17%."

Joseph smiled: "What sincerity? He must have heard about the French Reserve Bank. Now you know you are anxious? It's too late!"

The French Reserve Bank is naturally the bank he is preparing. Although the bank has not been established yet, it does not prevent him from drafting a contract with the French government in advance.

He said to his assistant: "Please tell him, oh, and the Laborde Bank, that he will not have to bother them with this loan in the future."

He paused, and then said: "After going back, check if the government has any other cooperation with these two banks, and help me formulate a plan to transfer all the loans involving them to other banks. Well, the name of the plan is called "Reducing Financing Risk Planning." "

The assistant's eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately bowed and said: "Yes, Your Highness."

Besancon was thoughtful. When he saw the Crown Prince mentioning the Ravel Bank, his expression was obviously unfriendly, and he immediately took note of the matter.

When he came out of the Crown Prince's bedroom, he immediately caught up with the assistant and asked what was going on.

Although the matter involved financial secrets, when the latter learned that Besancon was the new Paris Police Commissioner, he immediately became polite and told the story in general.

Besancon heard that two banks were obviously trying to trip up the Crown Prince and almost caused His Highness to default on his debts, and his eyes narrowed immediately.

He was promoted to the position of Paris Police Commissioner by the Crown Prince, and the important task of police reform was entrusted to him. He was grateful and naturally devoted to the Crown Prince.

Now, someone dared to make trouble for the Crown Prince. His Highness was magnanimous and did not care about them, but as the Crown Prince's direct descendant, he could never let it go!

Ravel Bank and Laborde Bank? You must pay the price for this!

On the other side, Etienne was walking out of the Palace of Versailles in despair. He had just been informed that not only would the 6 million livre loan business no longer be related to Ravelle Bank, but the government might even terminate all cooperation with him in the future...

One of the core businesses of Ravelle Bank is to provide the government with short-term large loans with high interest rates and almost no risk. It's just that the French government was as poor as a church mouse before, and always had to beg the bank for loans. Who knows why it suddenly became tough this time?

Etienne looked ashen. If this matter was confirmed, he would not only be unemployed, but the angry shareholders of Ravelle Bank would even sell him to Haiti to work as a laborer for the rest of his life!

Thinking of this, he shuddered, but the matter was completely out of his control. He had to bite his teeth and rush back to Paris to report the matter to the bank's board of directors.
