Chapter 897 Amazing Profits (Part 1)
Li Xiao was quite critical of Count Rostovtsev's negligence. If he were Count Rostovtsev, he would definitely have to do something. Whether it was a reminder or a warning, it had to be done as soon as possible, otherwise he was worried that it would take a long time. The rifts within the fragmented reformists simply cannot be healed.
It's a pity that he is not Count Rostovtsev. Even if he jumps out and shouts, no one will care. He will even be regarded as an alarmist and pretending to be sober. The result is probably a thankless effort.
So he could only hold it in. Even in front of Nikolai Milyutin, he didn't say a word more. But when he really returned to his own small circle, he couldn't help but vomit to a few friends:
"The reform hasn't even started yet, and all that's left is fantasy. What good results can there be if this continues!"
Alexei sighed faintly: "Yes, I also discovered what you said. Almost all salons are discussing the future, but not many people pay attention to the present. Isn't the present the most important?" p>
As he spoke, he sighed again: "It seems that reform is inevitable and there is no longer any resistance. If you are so blindly optimistic, the consequences are really hard to predict!"
If Li Xiao is the only one who thinks something is wrong, there may be a misjudgment for Vishnyak, Boris, Muravyov and Leonid, but Alexei also said the same, how could they It will all attract attention.
After all, they have seen this trend. Although they think there is no harm in imagining the future, if everyone is imagining the future and no one thinks about the road ahead, this situation is definitely not normal.
"What's even more frightening is that we can't say anything about it yet," Li Xiao also sighed, "Now those guys have gone crazy and can't listen to any criticism at all!"
Leonid also expressed a rare opinion: "Andre is right, I have seen several guys who have gone crazy. All they can think about is YY. It's like they have taken YAPIAN. They are completely crazy!"
Vishniak and Boris looked at each other, then looked at the faces of several friends, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because they were among the obsessed people. During this period of time, they had been bragging and talking a lot in major salons. Looking at the serious faces of Li Xiao and others, and then thinking about the awesomeness they had boasted about, both of them had sarcastic expressions on their faces.
After a long while, Boris hesitated and said: "Is it so serious? In fact, it's just some beautiful thoughts, it doesn't have to be like this..."
He quickly closed his mouth before he finished speaking, because Li Xiao, Alexei, Muravyov and Leonid all stared at him. Eight pairs of eyes locked on him like searchlights, making him feel pressure. The mountain is big.
He quickly added: "Well, I just said it casually. You all know that sometimes I speak without thinking. If I say something wrong, just pretend you didn't hear it..."
Vishniak was not as reckless as him and would not stupidly hit the muzzle of the gun. He just asked cautiously: "Then how to solve this problem? As Andre said, those guys can't listen to anything at all. It’s useless to criticize and reason with them, right?”
This is also the issue that worries Li Xiao and others the most. Once they fail to listen to reasonable criticism, they will either go crazy or die. It would be simple if it was just a matter of "imagining the future". The problem now is that they only want to imagine the future and refuse to be criticized by others for "imagining the future". They label others as die-hard conservatives at every turn and put the above guidelines on the line. This is It's a headache.
It's just that none of these friends can do anything about this, because the general environment is like this. Now there is a nationwide madness, and the sane ones are the minority. So what can we do? Just hold it in!
"Forget it, let's not mention this matter." Li Xiao waved his hand and changed the topic: "We have nothing to say about this matter. At most, it is just a reminder to fulfill our obligations. Now we still need to think about what to do. Just do your job!"
As he said that, he turned to Alexei and asked: "My friend, have things been arranged in Wallachia?"
Alexey nodded and said: "Everything has been explained, there will be no mistakes. The previous investments of us and our partners will be protected, there should be no mistakes!"
Li Xiao asked again: "What about the income? Is the settlement clear?"
Alexei nodded again, took out a list and read: "This is the final summary. After settling all the accounts in the past few years, we probably made a total of 475 in Wallachia." Ten thousand rubles, according to the previous plan, most of it will be reinvested again...The amount used for dividends is about 750,000 rubles..."
This figure made Vishniak and Boris involuntarily open their eyes, because although they all knew that their investments in Wallachia had made money in recent years, they did not know exactly how much money they had made.
Although there were dividends before, they invested again due to financial constraints before and after the Crimean War, so the money they actually received was only more than 20,000 rubles.
Although more than 20,000 rubles is not a small number, it is a huge sum of money for most Russians and even Russian aristocrats, but to be honest, their lives are not actually comfortable. After all, their expenses in all aspects are not small. In other words, they have probably just been living a casual life in the past few years and have not saved any money.
Naturally, when they heard that they had earned nearly five million rubles in total, and that the dividend this time was as high as 750,000 rubles, their breathing became a little short.
At this time, there was only one thought left in these two minds, and that was to quickly calculate how much money they could get.
Alexey did not mean to show off, and quickly gave the answer: "Boris and Vishniak will each receive 80,000 rubles according to the agreement, and the rest, Andrei and Leonid, will be divided into two parts." Each of the three can share more than 190,000 rubles, so everyone should have no objections, right?"
In fact, two hundred thousand rubles is not a particularly big number for Alexei and Leonid, especially Alexei. He has already inherited the title, and the properties left by his father can provide His annuity is nearly 300,000 rubles. Earning 200,000 rubles in a few years is really not much.
As for Leonid, because his father, Duke Alexander, is still there, he naturally does not have that much annuity income, but the Gorchakov family is much better than the Alexei family. Although his annual income is not as much as 200,000, It is not difficult to earn 80,000, 90,000 or even 100,000 yuan a year.
As for Li Xiao, after he took back my property from Nicholas I, his income was comparable to the two above, so naturally he didn't take the two hundred thousand in his eyes.
So among this group of people, besides Boris and Vishnyak, Muravyov was surprised...
