Capítulo 526: Chapter 437 Catherine II's Reward

Joseph looked at the World Fair statistics report Bailly had just compiled and couldn't help but smile.

Initially, he only wanted to take advantage of hosting the World Fair and the opportunity to install gas streetlights in Paris to promote France extensively.

However, he hadn't expected that, even before the fair had ended, orders had already reached more than six million francs.

Moreover, this was just the amount signed in the commercial hall; according to Bailly's estimate, including private transactions, the total should exceed ten million francs.

Within this, nearly seventy percent of the orders were for France. After all, as the host country, France had the most thoroughly prepared exhibition pavilions and very successful product promotions, attracting a large number of buyers quite unsurprisingly.
