The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Zana performed well, and after talking with several shop representatives, the price was a little lower than the estimated price.

Of course, it is impossible to settle such a large money transaction on the spot.

It will take a while to find an occasion to sign a formal contract.

Alfonso then went to register a company called "Wal-Mart Commerce Co., Ltd." and plagiarized the largest supermarket in future generations to win favor.

A subsidiary company named "Wal-Mart France Department Store Co., Ltd." was established under this wholly-owned company of Alfonso.

At present, this company is also wholly-owned by Alfonso, but he plans to absorb some investment from the Bonaparte family and French nobles after the supermarket opens to make money.

On the one hand, it is **** with interests, and on the other hand, there is indeed no money. He still has a lot of plans to start. How can he rely on the money that the queen brings when he flees?

After showing his abilities, Zana joined Alfonso as his wish, and is now his only employee.

For the time being, Zana was left with the supermarket. He had already sent a letter to Isabella asking Lucio to come over, and the two supervised each other. He should be relieved as the shopkeeper.

When he manages the supermarket one month later, when the supermarket starts to decorate, he chooses the decoration style and then decides which products to put on the shelves.

But the fact that the supermarket doesn't have anything to do with him doesn't mean he is free.

Not far from here will be the Franco-Prussian War, and his goal is to build up his reputation!

I can't bring the gun to the battlefield in person, he is still Spanish.

You can only start from the side. It is necessary to intervene in the battlefield without guilty of both sides. What can meet this requirement?

Red Cross!

Alfonso decided to be the founder of the Red Cross, so magnificent, in line with Catholic teachings, in line with morals, and in line with the compulsion of the nobility.

It can also recruit doctors on a large scale, and set up its headquarters in Spain in the future, which will definitely promote the development of medicine.

We must know that most doctors are more or less a little bit of assistance to suffering.

But when he sent someone to investigate it, he found out that a similar organization had already appeared, named "International Committee for Rescue of Wounded Soldiers."

This is the predecessor of the Red Cross, founded by Swiss banker Henry Dunant three years ago.

Now that the Geneva Treaty has been signed, this committee has spread to 12 countries.

The plates are quite large, but their influence in various countries is quite limited.

Only Switzerland has formed a certain scale. There is a headquarters, dozens of staff, and it can organize a few people in wartime.

The committees of other countries are in the state of two or three big cats and kittens.

At present, what slows down the development of this organization is the lack of money, very lack of money.

After all, as a relatively decent job, a doctor needs a not-low salary, so I can’t give up my family for everyone.

In addition, medicine in this era is still in rapid development, medical equipment, laboratories, volunteers, whichever does not need money.

Henry Dunant, as an ordinary small banker, could not support such a huge expenditure.

And as Henry became more focused on rescue, his bank also went from bad to worse.

Historically, in 1875, just 12 years after the establishment of the committee, his bank went bankrupt, and he himself lived in a slum in Paris.

After Alfonso learned of this situation, he sent someone to find him to talk to him about the business of saving the people.

...

Four days later, Henry was already sitting opposite Alfonso, and they met in the living room of the villa Alfonso had rented.

It can be seen that Henry is somewhat restrained and nervous, not only because he faced the crown prince as a commoner, but also because he, as an entrepreneur, is now facing investors.

But Henry also had a strange feeling in his heart. Sitting across from him was the youngest investor he had ever faced.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Henry, you are a great man." Alfonso said this sincerely. As the first person who founded the Red Cross to benefit future generations, there will be hundreds of people who are indeed worthy of respect.

Henry was taken aback, but he didn't expect to be awarded such a high evaluation.

As my family knows their own affairs, the signing of the Geneva Treaty was originally an achievement project. The governments of all countries just signed this treaty to show that they are just and humane. After the signing, they didn't care much about it.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Alfonso, I didn't expect you to say that. Now many people in my hometown say I am a lunatic."

"Time will prove the correctness of your career, and I am willing to develop this great career with you." Alfonso was straight to the point.

After all, it was not serious business negotiation. He believed that Henry had no reason to refuse the terms he offered.

He needs honor, Henry needs money, and there is no competition for interests. If there is anything, the two can be opened up.

"Well, I'm very honored about it. I heard that you intend to invest in the committee?"

"Don't bring in the bank's commercial negotiation, not called investment, called donation to sacred cause!" Alfonso retorted.

Seeing the face of being taught on the other side, he went on to say: "I plan to donate 20,000 pounds in the early stage, and the money will be credited within one month.

In the later period, I will gradually make additional donations. In the following years, I promise that I will not be less than 20,000 pounds! Only high, not low.

Of course, how to use this money must be discussed with me. "

Henry was shocked. The bank he ran is now sold, and he can get less than £10,000.

Of course, he also knew that such a generous condition must be reciprocated, so he nodded and waited for the following.

"After the 20,000 pounds are received, leave Switzerland alone and set up the Prussia and France stalls.

I demand that by wartime, at least 800 people can be organized in wartime medical care on both sides. "

Henry was taken aback when he heard this request, "You, do you think that Falun Dafa is about to fight!"

Alfonso smiled: "Only God knows the future. I just prevent this possibility."

He is not afraid of the other party leaking out. Since Prussia defeated Austria, there have never been a few people who feel that the Prussian government will go to war.

Especially after Prussia formed the North German Confederation and France claimed German territory, this kind of remarks became even more rampant. Every war cannot be launched without a trace.

"Second, you also know that I am a prince of Spain. When I return to China, the international headquarters will be located in Spain, and the committee will also assist me in the development of medical care in Spain."

Henry nodded. He is a true internationalist. It doesn't matter to him where the headquarters are located, let alone whether the other party can return home or not.

"Third, I request the position of honorary chairman of the International Committee. This position must be passed on to my descendants."

"No problem, if your Royal Highness needs it, I, the chairman, can let someone you arrange to be, and I'll give him a hand."

Alfonso waved his hand, he understood the dedication of the person in front of him:

"What do I want you to do in the chairmanship? In the future, the domestic rescue organizations in various countries will definitely be operated by the countries and you.

They will definitely have a lot of autonomy, and it is impossible to entrust the medical care of the wounded soldiers to an international organization.

You, the chairman, are limited in what you can manage, so I just want a name. "

Henry sighed: "His Royal Highness, you are really the best investor. Unlike other businessmen, you just ask for everything if you invest money."

Alfonso smiled and said: "Business is like this, and I am similar to them, but ours is not a business, this is a sacred cause.

Now that you have agreed, we are partners, let me teach you a few hands of this partner, your current operation is still a bit naive in my opinion. "

Henry expressed his respect.

"The name was changed, the International Committee for the Rescue of the Wounded Soldiers. It has no special features. It is the same as doing business. Only with a brand can people be remembered.

I think your red cross logo is pretty good. I will change my name to the International Committee of the Red Cross in the future. "

"Good idea, we have to distinguish us from other medical organizations, Red Cross, good name!" Henry's eyes lit up and said in surprise.

"Then you have to run a newspaper. It's not enough to do things with your head. Just doing things without propaganda means not doing them.

Big deal! All countries have to issue it, um... Now that it is relatively short of money, it will start with the British, French, American, Italian, Spanish, and American. The United States is too far away and can be postponed.

When your own newspaper was not influential, you spent some money to publish it in other newspapers, where and where did you save which people. "

Henry was a little embarrassed and said: "We also want to publish in the newspaper and receive donations.

The main reason is that we haven't actually done anything yet. The Prussian-Austro-Prussian war was fought too fast, and we were finished before it arrived. "

Alfonso taught: "The situation is smaller, not just for large-scale wars, like the continuous local conflicts in Spain, you can also find opportunities to intervene.

If you really have nothing to do, you will organize a few doctors, find some children in miserable circumstances, and give them a small sum of money and a few pieces of bread.

The newspaper talked about the child’s tragic experience, and then how life changed after meeting the Red Cross..."

A few hours later, Henry left happily, and he felt that he had grown a lot.

He learned from Alfonso how to raise donations and show, how to improve the structure of a rescue organization...

Finally, Alfonso also promised to develop the Red Cross into an all-weather relief organization that retains influence during peacetime.

After he inherits the Spanish throne, he will also help promote the signing of treaties for the protection of prisoners of war.
