Chapter 164 New Territory (Part 2)

After hearing the words of the staff member named Miller, Anderkes hurried his steps, but he did not forget to ask. "Do you know what Mayor Chax is looking for from me?"

"I don't know, but it seems to be urgent."

Hearing Miller's nonsense, Andrekes walked quickly to the mayor's office on the right side of the third floor.

"Ta-ta-ta."

"Come in."

With Andercos knocking on the door, a familiar voice pushed him in.

When Andrekes entered, he saw Mayor Chax sitting behind his desk, signing his name on a document.

Chax is of medium stature, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face with a Chinese character. Just looking at him has an air of self-confidence.

"Mayor, are you looking for me?"

As soon as Andokes entered the door, he whispered to Mayor Chax.

"Yes."

Mayor Chax put down the pen in his hand, stood up and moved his sore neck, and told Andrekes. "You know Ponovov."

Of course Andrikos knew about Ponokov, he knew it the day he arrived in the port city of Varna. Ponokov's full name is Nietzek Sherva Ponokov. He was born into an ordinary family in Varna, and his father made a living by running his own small grocery store. His father has a very modern consciousness and knows that no matter how hard he is, he can't suffer a child, so he sent him to study early. Ponovov lived up to his father's expectations, doing well in school and building his business experience after school by helping out at the family's grocery store.

Of course, the greatest help to him was when he married the daughter of a big local businessman at the age of 21. This marriage allowed him to get 50,000 leva of development funds from his father-in-law. Then he relied on Varna, the largest port in Bulgaria, as a trader, selling various Bulgarian commodities to businessmen in other countries. With good reputation and He became the largest exporter in Varna due to his reputation, and then he invested heavily in factories to produce various commodities needed in Bulgaria and made a lot of money. There are nearly a thousand people working in his factory all year round, and they are all very famous people in Bulgaria.

"Who else in Varna doesn't know about him? There are people from the Bulgarian government in his house at all times who are lobbying him to move to Thessaloniki, and I heard he has agreed."

In the face of the famous Ponokov, Anderkes of course knew it, and he also said what he knew.

Mayor Chax was very satisfied with the secretary's performance. He took out a cigar and took a puff. "Now there's something new."

"what's the situation?"

"Now he is reluctant to move out, saying that he is unwilling to leave the place where he was born."

As the secretary of the mayor of Chax, Andikos still knows some things by virtue of the advantage of being close to the water and the platform. You must know that this Ponovov is not so clean. Every businessman who is doing big business in this era is not kind. generation. He knew that there were only three or four murders involving this Ponovov. I don’t believe the excuse of not wanting to move out of the place of birth at all. I guess it’s almost the same as being unwilling to give up the property in Varna.

"Then do we need to do something?"

As the secretary of the mayor for many years, Andercos still knows his habits, and it is estimated that he needs to do something to let the big businessman know that Romania does not need him now.

Now the Romanian government intends to expel Bulgaria's power in this new territory for the convenience of its own digestion, and Ponokov, the largest industrialist in Varna, is on their expulsion list. However, in order to reduce the dissatisfaction from the local civilians, it is not easy for Romania to do some radical things in this new territory to cause ethnic antagonism in the new territory. Therefore, Romania has always cooperated with the Bulgarian government's personnel who stayed in the local area as much as possible to let them move out.

Facing his secretary, Mayor Chax did not play dumb. "Yes, I'm going to ask you to give this Mr. Ponovkov a hint that we don't want him to stay in Varna."

"give it to me.

"

Andkers knew what to do, and he learned a lot from following Mayor Chax for several years, and he still knew how to do it when it came to hints.

There is a 5,000-square-meter manor on Nebiks Street in Varna. This is the home of Ponokov that the Mayor of Chax and Secretary Andrkes talked about before. In this very baroque building, Ponokov has just sent away representatives of the Bulgarian government.

He sat tiredly on the sofa, thinking about his family's future choices. After he revealed his intention to stay, the Bulgarian government kept sending people over to discuss with him. The general meaning is to hope that he can sell his property in Varna and move to the newly occupied Macedonia region of Bulgaria for development, and it will also give him good convenience in terms of policy.

However, he is still a little unwilling. The main problem is that his property in Varna cannot be sold at a good price, and it can even be said that it is sold at a low price. Take his most lucrative textile factory as an example. He spent 1.16 million leva for this factory. The Romanians are only willing to bid 700,000 leva. This machine is not good, and the equipment is outdated. You must know that this is a new factory that he has only built in less than two years, and he has to divide it into six months and three times to get the money. This is also where he feels most helpless. Now not only in Varna, but also in the newly occupied territory of Romania, the price is amazing, and the price that comes to negotiate and buy is amazingly consistent, giving him a headache.

"Father, otherwise we wouldn't sell our own business."

His 21-year-old son Sardov walked into the office and saw Ponokov's gray face, and said angrily.

Seeing his son's attitude, Ponokov also secretly hurt himself, because he was too young and lacked social training experience. As an old fritter, Ponokov knew through the quotations of those Romanians that they were bound to win their industry in Varna, otherwise they would not have been so insistent on this price issue, which must have their confidence, then The attitude of the Varna government will be their support.

"We're looking."

Facing his son, Ponokov still said with a tired face.

Seeing that his father was still planning to wait, Saldorf showed the impetuousness of a young man.

"Father, it's not a solution. Now the new Romanian government has made it clear that it wants to drive us out, otherwise we will start the workers to take to the streets to make a big fuss. If they don't make us feel better, then we don't. already."

Seeing his son's bad idea, Ponovov didn't know what to say, and he probably won't be able to get a penny at any time. Now I can get back more than half of my property.

Ponovov, who was about to scold his son, heard the butler's voice at the door. "There's a government official called Andercos asking for an interview."

Ponokov swallowed what he was about to say, and he still knew about the secretary of the mayor of Chax. He said to the housekeeper through the door. "Let him wait a moment, I'll be out right away."

After he finished speaking to the housekeeper, he sorted out his appearance and told his son. "Okay Saldorf, let go of your stupid idea and I'll go see what the Romanians have to say to me."

After speaking, he walked out of the office, looking at his father who was dismissive of his own ideas, Saldorf didn't know where he was wrong.

"Hello Mr. Andercus, I don't know if you need to use me this time?"

Ponovov walked to the living room and asked with a smile on his face as soon as he saw Andercos.

In the face of Ponokov's favor, Anderkes knew that it was not for himself, but because of the mayor of Chax behind him, but it didn't affect his mood. I saw him say with a smile. "There is something that needs Mr. Ponokov's support."

It was just a polite remark, but Ponokov was a little puzzled when he heard that the mayor's secretary really had something to use him in front of him. You must know that in the face of Bulgarian all kinds of solicitations, the Romanian side has always been indifferent to them Bulgarians. He ignored it, and he probably knew the reason why.

Facing this sudden news, Ponovov still asked with a smile. "I don't know what would make Mr. Andkers take a trip in person."

In the face of Ponovkov's question, Anderkes talked about running the train with his mouth full. "Now the number of workers is increasing in various places, and various union disputes occur from time to time. Among them, the United States has implemented an eight-hour working day. In Europe, our Romanian government intends to take the lead in implementing this initiative to reduce the occurrence of disputes. This time, we plan to start in Varna. Let’s try it with Ruse first to see how it works, so I hope Mr. Ponokov will support our work.”

After hearing Andikos's words, Ponokov's smile gradually disappeared. If the person in front of him didn't represent the Romanian government, if someone else dared to say this in front of him, he would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. You must know that in Europe, 10-hour working hours are common, and ten-hour working hours in the Balkans are considered conscientious entrepreneurs. And everywhere in the Balkans there are 11-12 hour work hours, even 14 hours. Ponovov also followed the trend, pushing it for 12 hours at the factory.

Ponovov looked at Anderkes in front of him and asked with a serious face. "Mr Andkers, you're not joking."

"Absolutely not, our government is already discussing options now."

Andkes continued to run the train, and he was not afraid of him going to the government to confirm that, if it really failed, the mayor of Chax could still transfer him back to the country.

Ponokov said with a serious look and a cold tone. "ok, I get it."

After speaking, he turned away and left without any scruples about his feelings. Anderkes was not angry about this, and left Ponovov's house on his own.

Then Varna's largest industrialist Ponovkov announced that he would move his family to Thessaloniki and sell his entire property in Varna. Under his leadership, other Bulgarian businessmen who were still hesitant to sell their properties and relocate to Bulgaria. The Romanian side also accepts the industries left by these people at a low price.

According to post-mortem statistics, during these three months, Bulgarian businessmen sold assets worth 74.2 million lei on the territory ceded to Romania. Most of them are real estate such as factories, equipment and houses that cannot be taken away, and the Romanian side only spent half of the funds to buy these assets. Although it is impossible to compare with other Balkan countries, it is also an aspect of Romania's planned clearing of new territories for local Bulgarian merchants to provide Romania's domestic capital.
