That evening, Viscount Olivier walked out of the ballroom exhausted.
After he got into the carriage parked outside Count Shereyemetev's Manor, leaned against the seat, and put a piece of candy in his mouth, he revealed a relaxed smile.
At the ball just now, he finally reached an agreement with Nikolai Rumyantsev, who would buy 20% of his coal mine and ironworks in Donbass for 130,000 rubles, which is over 500,000 francs.
Considering his company's value, he lost about 50,000 francs on this deal, and with the company's current booming development, the loss was even greater.
But it was an order from the Crown Prince, so he complied.
Actually, before this, he had sold and given away a large number of shares to Russian power players like Duke Kourakin and Prince Yusupov, and now only had 15% left.
